Post-Weird

In this new episode of Post-Weird, we discuss the "Space Jam: A New Legacy" trailer and compare its story to our nostalgic memories of the original 'Space Jam.' Does this feel like a sequel, or just an attempt to mimic Jordan's legacy? Then, our review of BROCKHAMPTON's new album 'Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine' and thoughts about the punk nature of Lil Nas X and Kid Cudi's recent subversive work.

This week, we're catching up with 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,' the most recent MCU television entry streaming on Disney+. So far, the show has provided fun action, while also vaguely touching on topics of racism, American colonialism, and the military-industrial complex. But will Disney let this show be everything it can be socially? Then, we discuss Georgia's restrictive new voting act and what responsibility corporations, including Disney, have to oppose these laws.

Welcome to another episode of Post-Weird! Today, our conversation is about the new  Prime Video animated show 'Invincible, ' based on the long-running Image Comics superhero title of the same name, written by Robert Kirkman (of 'Walking Dead' fame.) It's the best new superhero show on TV as Amazon, together with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, continues to produce independent comic adaptations that challenge the notions present in the MCU and DCU. Thank you for listening!

It's big, dumb, and really fun to watch: 'Godzilla vs. Kong' is the movie we need right now and exactly the kind of movie that can start the soft re-opening of theaters a year after they were closed. In this week's episode, we discuss how the Monsterverse movies remain a success and what rooting for either Gozilla or Kong says about you.

Thank you for listening!

This week, 'WandaVision' ends, so we try to break down what this season gave us from this deeper character study, and if Disney/Marvel can ever let their heroes truly be people as well. Then, we discuss our expectations headed into 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' and 'Loki.' Will these Disney+ shows matter in the larger world of the movies? Thank you for listening!

This week, we discuss 'Judas and the Black Messiah,' an incredible movie that makes for difficult watching, and which features two of the best performances in the past year from Daniel Kaluuya (Golden Globe Winner) and LaKeith Stanfield. Then, what we liked and disliked from this year's Golden Globes ceremony.

This week on Post-Weird, we discuss the new documentary 'Framing Britney Spears' presented by The New York Times. The documentary covers a period of history both of us are very familiar with - and unfortunately, shows just how bad it really was (and may still be) for Britney. Then, with the news of the KimYe divorce, we talk about what lessons about fame can be learned from #FreeBritney and how they may be able to help Kanye's erratic behavior. 

Hosted by Zack Miller & Stephen Williams

To start, we discuss how recent events feel in 2021 as we continue through this period of pandemic response and social activism, both still being addressed culturally and politically. What's the impact of corporate marketing using both the pandemic and Black activism to sell products? Then, we briefly discuss Gina Carano's firing from 'The Mandalorian' (BYE!). Plus, a lengthy discussion on the value of a show like 'WandaVision,' which has its own style, but not its own purpose.
