This week we discuss if Sandman is getting a season two and the state of Netflix. Plus, as AMC stocks plummet and Cineworld (who owns Regal Cinemas) heads towards Chapter 11 bankruptcy, what is in store for the theater experience? We discuss. Top Gun: Maverick producer Jerry Bruckheimer says there’s too much CGI in movies and Maverick soared because of real authentic stunts. Is this true and should we go back to more practical effects? HBO gave us a teaser for their upcoming slate and tagged at the end we get our first footage of “The Last of Us” series based on the popular video game of the same name starring Pedro Pascal · Joel ; Bella Ramsey · Ellie ; Nick Offerman · Bill ; Merle Dandridge · Marlene ; Anna Torv · Tess, coming in 2023. Then HBO’s House of the Dragon debut is their biggest opening ever for an original HBO Max series even crashing their site. The show stars Paddy Considine · King Viserys Targaryen ; Emma D’Arcy · Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen ; Matt Smith · Prince Daemon Targaryen ; Rhys Ifans · Otto Hightower. But how is the show and will the audience stick around? In other news, Dan Harmon gives us a Community movie update based on the show, it’s still possible! Plus rumblings that DisneyPlus is developing a King Kong series based in the world of Godzilla vs Kong and will see a return to Skull Island. Then for our See It or Skip It, Amazon’s The Rings of Power gets a longer “final” trailer for the upcoming show. What did we think of the trailer and the upcoming show? Then we have some twitter questions around MoviePass returning and movies we love from the actor John Lithgow.
