Reboots and revivals continue to thrive in entertainment, some of them welcome like Janet Jackson's tour (and her shade towards brother Randy) and "Will & Grace", and others not so much, like a Mona Scott-Young Xscape biopic and "American Idol." In this episode, the Say Something Nice crew discusses these comebacks, as well as Sony Pictures' $719 million loss for 2016, our ideal Papa Pope "Scandal" spin-off, and the horror of Lee Daniels possibly making an OutKast biopic. As a bonus, we have a full-season spoiler discussion of "Riverdale" during the post-show.

In 2014, Marvel Studios' "Guardians of the Galaxy" delighted audiences as the underdog blockbuster film no one expected. In this episode's spoiler-free and spoilerific reviews, the SSN Crew and special guest Tim discuss whether "Vol. 2" suffers from the sophomore jinx or lives up to the expectations of the brand. Our discussion runs the gamut from building-block hookers, to Tyler Perry-meets-superheroes melodrama, to homages to other properties. Also, is there such a thing as too much Baby Groot?

And you thought the Lyons were ratchet. In real, actual life, media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his sons have created and masterminded an empire of their own, the crown jewel of which being the conservative propaganda machine masquerading as a journalistic outlet known as Fox News Channel. In this episode, the SSN Crew discusses the history behind the network and the political career of former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, how Fox News changed the landscape of American TV news (we think to its detriment), and how the sexual harassment scandals surrounding Ailes and former star personality Bill O'Reilly threaten the future of the worldwide expansion of the Murdoch empire.

In 2017, most media companies are finally starting to see the light and embrace diversity. However, Marvel Comics - the folks behind the X-Men, Iron Man and other fan favorites - recently expressed that publishing comics featuring women, people of color and LGBT folks was hurting their sales. Predictably, outrage ensued. Joining the mob with our pitchforks and witty repartee, the Say Something Nice Crew analyzes Marvel's efforts toward diversity in comics, films such as "Doctor Strange" and television shows like "Iron Fist." Study up, kids: There's a quiz at the end.
