These last few days have been hugely eventful for the DC Comics media universe. The long-awaited 'Snyder Cut' of Justice League has not only been confirmed, but it is slated for release in 2021 on HBO Max! Batwoman, meanwhile, has lost it's lead. Ruby Rose has quit the show ahead of a now-confirmed second season, and it's possible that the breakup was mutual.

Josh Trank is back with Capone, his first movie since 2015's ill-fated Fantastic Four. I was eager to see how Trank, who struck a chord with his debut film Chronicle, might attempt at redeeming himself and taking back the creative reigns of his own career. Instead, his pure vision (Trank is credited as Director, Writer, and Editor) produced a disgusting, disjointed and barely watchable snooze that somehow manages to make the legendary gangster boring. We never get to meet Capone or any of his family or loved ones before he has lost his mind and body to neurosyphilis, so his only actions consist of vile bodily excretions, and delusional rantings delivered in comical grunts by Tom Hardy, who does all he can to redeem the movie as the titular Alphonse Capone. Forget it, Tom - this is Redbox, the bizarro anti-Netflix where films with no redeeming value go to get financed and produced. This is Josh Trank, unadulterated and unfiltered, and it reeks.

Robert Downey Jr. took to social media on Friday, to extol the volunteer Covid-19 test center CORE. He is offering first dibs at a chance of scoring Marvel memorabilia to volunteers, in a video I've linked to below. I've also attached a link to CORE's own website, which features more info including a PSA directed by Samuel Bayer and narrated by Edward James Olmos.

In less somber news, Rick and Morty season 4 continues. The show aired another episode of the second half of the season last night, a return to form after last week's meta anthology episode. No spoilers, but a brief discussion of the Alien homage 'Promortyus.'

Josh Trank is back with his first movie since the disastrous Fantastic Four - Capone, starring Tom Hardy as the titular mobster. It will be released on VOD May 12, and I'm discussing some of what Trank went through behind the scenes of Fantastic Four - and how he's been dealing with it - based on a revelatory interview with Trank from Polygon which you can read here: https://www.polygon.com/2020/5/5/21246679/josh-trank-capone-interview-fantastic-four-chronicle

Walking Dead consulting producer LaToya Morgan participated in a Buzzfeed article about how the global pandemic is changing television production. For her part, she says that the show is using a Zoom-based writer's room which is surprisingly getting more accomplished, at a faster pace, than before. Working from home is perhaps something that writers of an apocalypse-themed show were uniquely prepared for, but Morgan's comments are illuminating and the unexpectedly positive changes could have ramifications for how TWD, if not television in general, proceeds once this crisis is over.

Speaking of The Walking Dead and Zoom, AMC has released Zoom backgrounds featuring some of their most popular shows. That includes, of course, The Walking Dead, as well as Better Call Saul, Killing Eve, Dispatches from Elsewhere and more. You can download those here: https://www.amc.com/talk/2020/04/spice-up-your-video-calls-with-backgrounds-from-your-favorite-amc-networks-shows

Meanwhile, Walking Dead co-creator Robert Kirkman is suing mobile developer Disruptor Beam Inc., for failing to make payments on the now-defunct mobile game "Walking Dead: March to War." Kirkman believes he is owed, and is suing for, $690,000. This per TMZ, who managed to get an exclusive first look at some of the legal documents: TMZ uses extremely informal language, but the article seems to suggest that Kirkman is suing not a jury trial, but rather an injunction forcing Disruptor Beam to make good on their delinquent payments.

We all have cabin fever and most of us are using Zoom quite a bit these days. Yesterday, actor/streamers  Rahul Kohli and Jacob Fullerton got steadily more intoxicated while reciting the script to Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. Bruce Greene hosted the event, in addition to reading the opening crawl, stage directions, and calling out whenever the actors made a mistake and had to take yet another drink. Click here to see the video (I recommend scrubbing through it, as it's nearly 4 hours and 40 minutes): https://youtu.be/Jq2XuNqQEVU

On the Season 5 finale of Better Call Saul, Kim Wexler and Lalo Salamanca show us that they are not to be underestimated. Kim finally breaks bad, and Lalo becomes the most dangerous thing you would ever want to encounter - a wounded animal, one who appears to be wise to his betrayer. As Saul Goodman will go on to say in Breaking Bad, “It wasn’t me, it was Ignacio!” "Something Unforgivable" asks more questions than it answers, but is easily the best episode of the season, and in my opinion the best television of 2020 to date.
