April 09, 2024 052: To Reboot or Not to Reboot
052: To Reboot or Not to Reboot
This week's episode opens with another round of What Movies Have You Watched. Afterward, Alex gets rage baited by the new Silver Surfer casting choice, and Andrew cuts loose on the fans of the Fantastic Four and Wonder Woman franchises. Tune in to rethink revisionism, retcons, reboots, and Rohirrim—and remember kids, tropes aren't a sin... unless your trope is a Mary Sue.
Notable Mentions: Ghost Busters: Frozen Empire, Bullet Train, Dan in Real Life, The Man Who Knew Too Little, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, Fantastic Four, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Karate Kid / Cobra Kai, The Stormlight Archive, Wonder Woman
Editors Notes: Fantastic Four was Stan Lee’s first team of superheroes. | Palpatine creating Anakin isn't technically a retcon, but it has the air of a retcon. | The Stormlight Archive is qualified as an epic fantasy, and there aren't many *races* other than human (although there are some).
