Devin Faraci wrote a fascinating article for BirthMoviesDeath.com titled "Fandom Is Broken," and it's the basis for our discussion this week. Do fans have any right to make demands of content creators? Are we owed anything? What about in cases of characters who have become long-established symbols of certain sociological ideals within our culture? We take a look at both sides of the argument in this week's RandomChatter.

Our monthly Patreon hangout accidentally turned into an episode of RandomChatter!  Listen as our deepest personal secrets are revealed!

We were going to go with "You're Fired!" for our episode title, but we've been told that our future dictator Donald Trump has trademarked that phrase. This week we go through the latest cancelations and one not-surprising move for a fan-favorite show.

Erik and Lou take a look at the upcoming summer movies and how they may perform on the Summer Movie Draft.

Ubisoft threatens to ban players exploiting bugs, but are the players really the ones at fault? Also, we look at the companions of Doctor Who.

This week Erik and Lou are joined by Mike Templeton (The Sabacc Table, The Retro Convo) to talk about the Rogue One trailer, movies, Pokemon, video games, nostalgia, and more!

In what's definitely one of our more "random" episodes, we eventually get to talking about violence and ratings in superhero movies. Along the way, we touch on various other topics, including Stephen King adaptations, our first Movie Draft update, the return of Flickchart's Flick Fights podcast, annoyances with QuizUp's monetization methods, and much more!

Watching a movie at home the same day it's released in the theaters sounds great, right? What if it were $50 per viewing? Even then, theater organizations are up in arms against "The Screening Room," a new initiative founded in part by Napster's co-creator and backed by some of Hollywood's biggest directors. Learn more about this controversial new approach and what we think of it in this week's RandomChatter!

We've been threatening it for years, but now we've finally done it! Our first Movie Draft is here!
