After explaining why this episode got delayed to Saturday, we hit the whole week that was, talking about Andor AND Rogue One, Superman AND Ironheart trailers, some more Thunderbolts and Star Trek TNG, and my personal record for “bleeps” in a single episode.

May 15, 2025 FLITE ALERT 0006: Superman and Ironheart Trailers
My thoughts on the first full trailer for Superman and how it could strike an ironic blow for rational DC fans everywhere, and how the Ironheart trailer reminds me of another recent Disney+ series that also deserved more than it got.

May 06, 2025 0205: The Future of the MCU
In my latest defense of Marvel Studios, I breakdown the bullet points of a new report on the future of the MCU, reiterate why Phase 4 and 5 weren’t as bad as fans think, and share some non-spoilery thoughts on the spoilery Thunderbolts'* marketing stunt.

April 29, 2025 0204: The Sinners Phenomenon
I take a deeper dive into the success of Sinners, what it means for Hollywood, why they tried to dismiss it at first, and the general silliness of the fan complaints against it.

April 21, 2025 0203: "Fantastic Celebrations"
My thoughts on Star Wars Celebration 2025 and the Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer, with some fandom-specific rants about the stupidity of arguing which trilogy is better, or why Silver Surfer is female.
