This week, Da7e, Patches, Joanna and David dig into what it means that Fox has decided to give Ryan Reynolds another shot at being a superhero and the internet comic fans what they want with a Deadpool movie in 2016. What does this have to do with superhero movies if anything? And while Joanna still sits in for Katey, Da7e wants to grill her on her feelings about the new 8th season of Dr. Who, maybe just so he can also talk about it. That and Da7e liked The Good Lie the sort-of-Reese Witherspoon movie about The Lost Boys of the Sudan.

This week, David, Patches, Joanna and a returning Da7e have got that summertime sadness, oh-whoa-ho-ho-ho. Starting things off with a Lighting Round question about anticipated fall films, it’s a step back into the “worst summer since 1997” for the American Box Office. Are things really that bad? Then, David’s in charge of a summer movie trivia mini-segment before we make a Johnny Gossamer connection between Pascale Ferran’s Bird People and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. It’s subtle special effects and they’re a tool worth mentioning.
