In this episode, we break down why DC's new Batman direction under James Gunn might be doomed before it starts, how the Mando & Grogu movie signals the fall of Star Wars as we know it, and why Tilly Norwood's AI-generated performance is a glimpse into Hollywood's dystopian future.

What we cover:

Gunn's 99 Batman problems and why "The Brave and the Bold" is already in trouble

The Mando/Grogu movie: proof that Star Wars has run out of ideas
