Question of the Week - What MCU movie do you wish you could experience again for the first time?

No, not that Runner. That is The Runner, and it stars Gal Gadot. This Runner stars Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson. This is definitely going to help this week's episode of the podcast stand out when a movie that was universally panned has an almost identical title to an action comedy starring the lead of Reacher.

Question of the Week - What Action franchise would you like to see Alan Ritchson join?

The legacy of the Looney Tunes characters really does depend on when you grew up. There are the classic Chuck Jones shorts that introduced the characters to the world. There was their revitalization in the 90's with Space Jam, and now Coyote vs. Acme could be a new generation's introduction. Can Wile E. Coyote and Will Forte take down a monolith like Acme? Make sure you listen to this week's podcast to find out.

Question of the Week - What movie this fall are you most looking forward to?

Star Trek is now celebrating its 60th Anniversary this year. That is an achievement that not many franchises have accomplished. There is something to be said for staying culturally relevant for that long. While the show has continued its familiar trappings during the 60 years, it is actually the program's flexibility that has kept audiences watching. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds takes that objective and runs with it further than any other series. The fourth season may wind up being the series' best as it explores all kinds of genres, but never forgets the main focus of the show, the crew of the Enterprise. Listen to Kyle's thoughts on the first half of the penultimate season of Strange New Worlds.

Question of the Week - What was your favourite summer movie of 2026?

Guy Gardner, everyone's least favourite Green Lantern, has already appeared in several DCU projects. It has been 15 years since the character was the lead in any way. Lanterns doesnt do that for one notable Green Lantern; it does that for arguably the two most famous ring wearers. John Stewart and Hal Jordan lead the HBO show, and it was Kyle's most anticipated series of the year. Listen to find out whether the pilot met his very high expectations.
