RuPaul's Drag Race, it's got everything you want from reality game show competitions

There's no way I'd be able to get it working like it used to, but I've always wanted the Blockbuster Pokemon Snap machine. And in those same vibes, I've always wanted one of those VCRs in a big yellow case that Blockbuster used to have for rental as well lol

It's a bit of a mixed bag because they assume we liked all of the Defenders lol. Instead of choosing the stuff that worked from the Netflix shows and ignoring the rest, we've yet to see what it means to fully throw all of this into the MCU. But we'll have to see how this all works in Season 3.

It's certainly going to do well, but it's not going to hit 2019 numbers. Marvel needs to establish what their new version of "success" will be in this changing cinematic climate, and Doomsday will be the barometer for that. Curious to ultimately see how well it does even with so much stacked against it culturally, critically, and more.

It's going to be much better in theaters than at home. It's reliant on that visual splendor to keep you engaged, but it's so great at doing so that it deserves to be seen on the biggest screen you can.

Welcome! We have a lot of fun here talking nonsense hahaha!

It's wild how much better of a season this has been after Season 1! I'm so excited to see what Fisk is going to be like now that he's gotten the official Kingpin name and is going to be totally unleashed from now on.

It's going to be hard to beat Daemons of the Shadow Realm for sure!

We've got new episodes of the One Piece anime, a new remake in the works with Netflix, a third season of the live-action series, an animated LEGO special, a new spinoff about Nami, new chapters of the manga every week, and even a Popeyes collab! It's been an awesome time to be a One Piece fan, so what has been your favorite thing revealed so far?

What's a cool anime you're watching right now? I'm currently catching up on Hell's Paradise and it's been rad! Thinking about finally checking out Yaiba next! Any recommendations?

I always try to watch something focused on all this stuff around Easter, and while The Prince of Egypt is more passover focused, it's still my favorite movie for the occasion lol. What's yours?

It's either going to be the big hand or Tabuu from Smash Bros Brawl lol. Either way, count me in it's going to be big and loud and stupid and fun

Hahaha it was awesome! They really went all out for it

I'm definitely interested! It looks awesome

Never been really into He-Man myself, but always find myself watching He-Man things when they come out. It'll be the same here but wish Leto was putting on the full "nyaaaaaah" Skeletor voice tbh

TV for me!

I feel like a musical is definitely the way to go for something like this. That or I'd like to see John Carpenter playing along to Halloween or something

Oh no way! They release horror movies year round because they're good at any time. They just happen to hit better when the season's right, but they're always appropriate

lol no! I've hit the age where I don't need to play things as soon as they come out, and have very little free time overall. So at this point unless Kingdom Hearts 4 comes out as a PS6 exclusive I think I'm done buying new consoles just for the sake of them

Gotta be The Mummy!

What are some of your favorite movies to watch at home while you're doing other stuff? I tend to lean towards generic action that you can kind of half pay attention to without needing much story context. Like the other day I ended up watching through Taken 2 and don't think I've ever actually sought it out.

Hard to beat ten years of buildup! Especially in the box office world we're in now and the way that tastes have trended away from superheroes for the most part, it's even clearer now that Thanos really was the peak of it all. No matter what the MCU does from now on, it just won't hit in the same way. It's pretty much impossible. Even if Secret Wars goes full nostalgia bomb with like all the classic actors facing off against RDJ God Doom or something, it's still not going to be as great as the Thanos fight. The world has changed so much, and that feeling of sitting there in theaters for Endgame is going to be rose-colored glassed to such a height that no other Marvel movie is going to be able to match it. It's just impossible. Would love to be wrong, however, and definitely want to be jumping up in down in my seat for whatever happens.

The Jean Grey thing is such a wild move that I don't really want it to be the case. It'd be such a weird way to introduce such a key X-Men character within a Sony Spider-Man movie (especially as Marvel prepares to reboot their universe once more with Doomsday and the older X-Men cast), so I hope she's like Firestar, Typhoid Mary or something.

It hilariously can't change too much from prior movie aesthetics because it'd be too expensive to revamp the theme park, so hopefully it can still find its own identity. The JKR part of it all means I'll never see the show, but the part of me that loved the books and movies as a kid wants the best for the potential new kids who might see the show. Its modern day approach to lighting and early Prisoner of Azkaban darkness does seem to skew more towards nostalgic millennials rather than current kids, however.

I don't think it's hit its stride yet as you can definitely feel everyone trying to slot back into their old rhythms, but it's still working. But honestly, there are so many medical shows right now (and St. Denis Medical is taking a ton of attention as the comedic opposite of The Pitt) that I do worry about its longevity. At least it's better than Scrubs: Med School so far!
