November 14, 2025 FLITE REVIEW 0059: "The Running Man"
My largely SPOILER-FREE thoughts on Edgar Wright’s adaptation of Stephen King’s dystopian novel that is frighteningly not as far away from reality as it should be. Did I still enjoy it, or will I be re-watching the Arnold version to cleanse my memory? Find out on FLITE REVIEW!

November 13, 2025 0225: Superman's Objective Success
I break down the key points of the recent Forbes article on Superman and the DCU and add more facts to show how delusional and illogical all the narratives against James Gunn and DC Studios are in the wake of the impending WBD sale.

November 08, 2025 FLITE REVIEW 0058: "Predator: Badlands"
My spoiler-filled first look at Dan Trachtenberg’s Predator era films. Is this standalone good enough to push me to finally watch Prey and Killer of Killers? Plenty of thoughts on that and more in FLITE REVIEW this week.

November 06, 2025 0224: A Vendetta, Cord Cutting, and The Kelvin Timeline
It’s the 20th anniversary of a Vertigo-adapted comic book movie classic! Plus, why local sports radio hosts should stick to sports instead of talking about streaming apps, and paying tribute to the Kelvin Timeline of Star Trek, as it appears to be officially over.

November 02, 2025 FLITE CHAT 0075: November 1, 2025
Just how much do we all watch YouTube or alternate history dramas? How come Star Trek couldn’t figure out romantic plot development until DS9? And will The FliteCast ever have a Discord? All of that and more in this week’s FLITE CHAT.

October 30, 2025 0223: YouTube: King of the Viewership
After asking all of you a burning question about social media, I dive into recent research that says YouTube is the king streamer that all other streamers are chasing for attention. Even Netflix.

October 23, 2025 0222: "WBD For Sale"
Who’s buying Warner Bros. Discovery, when are they buying it, and how much will it cost?
Plus, just how badly did fans take that Supergirl comment from James Gunn out of context?

October 20, 2025 FLITE CHAT 0073: October 19, 2025
How badly is social media corrupting our view of the real world? Are you still divided on the Peacemaker Season 2 finale? What is the craziest movie cast you’ve seen that still somehow worked really well? That and many other topics this week on FLITE CHAT.
