Stuck In Development

This week, we break down the Emmy nominations and the (lack of) surprises, spend some time with Minions vs. Monsters, and Eitan is genuinely shocked to learn that Carl doesn’t like one of his all-time favorite moviegoing experiences. We also discover that, despite being a huge fan, Eitan apparently can’t remember Robert Pattinson’s name.

Note: This episode was recorded before the release of Disney’s live-action Moana. You’ll hear Eitan predict where it would land at the box office—and, spoiler alert, he surprisingly got it right.

Carl and Eitan are mad about slop being served to children! Also, NBCU is about to be freed from the shackles of Kabletown.

This week, we dive into Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, unpack the not-at-all-surprising decision by Amazon MGM Studios to drop Artificial, its nearly completed Artificial about Sam Altman, and what it says about the relationship between Hollywood and Big Tech.

We also talk about Eitan’s first live FIFA World Cup match and share our first reactions to Toy Story 5.

Eitan's back from Japan! The boys missed the chance to discuss a wild May box office. Before they do that, they dissect Fox's acquisition of Roku and rumors of a Netflix acquisition of Lionsgate. Eitan also gives a preview of his travelogue, starting with what matters most: Tokyo DisneySea.

Join Eitan & Carl as they discuss the high-rated finale of a dead franchise and the low-rated new entry in a (barely) resurrected franchise.

This week, Carl's frustrated at Disney's attempt to salvage premium formats for Dunesday weekend. The boys also discuss Apple's new CEO and where films like The Christophers disappeared to.

CinemaCon, the annual conference in Las Vegas where studios unveil their upcoming releases to get theater owners excited, is taking place this week. It’s famous for keeping most of its trailers out of the public eye, but that doesn’t stop Carl and Eitan from breaking down everything that’s happened so far. (Spoiler: Eitan is excited for Digger.)

They also discuss the state of live events, share thoughts on Season 2 of The Pitt ahead of this week’s finale, and try to figure out whether 28 Years Later will get the conclusion it deserves.

Join us!

Carl & Eitan cover a strange assortment of topics today, including OpenAI's purchase of a podcast, shockingly fast WGA negotiations, and squaring the tepid critical response to Illumination's latest film against its gargantuan box office success.
