Films:


  • It’s all about that Star Wars! Star Wars: The Force Awakens at $900 mil worldwide and counting. Disney saying when all is said and done (DVD sales, etc), revenue from the film more than pays for their Lucasfilm purchase.

  • Der Fan (aka “Trance”) 1982 film about a disturbing teenage fan (Simone), obsessed with popstar/actor “R”. Cult-classic and great soundtrack by Rheingold (sounds like 80s new wave synth band). Star of the film is Desiree Nosbusch when she was only 17 years old in this picture.



    UPDATE: Only found out after the podcast that the reason why this film is relatively rare is because Nosbusch tried to prevent the film from being released. The Blu-Ray/DVD Combo was only available in America on March 2015 via Mondo Macabro. You can purchase a copy at Amazon, it’s the best deal in town ($18).

  • The Big Short is a 2015 American biographical comedy-drama film directed and co-written by Adam McKay, starring Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt.

  • Leaked Screeners: One pirate group promising as many as 40 to release online, including Hateful Eight, Joy, and James Bond: Spectre. How much does it impact box office?

  • Comic Book Television:


  • Daredevil
  • Jessica Jones

  • Comic Book Movies:
