It’s Wednesday and that means a brand new episode of The Flickcast for your listening pleasure. Like last week, we worked hard on this one. Although, not quite as hard.
We’re kinda slackers, truth be told. But still, it is a pretty good episode.
On this week’s show Chris and Joe get right to the point and discuss the latest Game of Thrones happenings, the Harrison Ford deathwatch, Justice League, er, um Superman vs. Batman casting, the upcoming DC movie slate, beer, food, sex, drugs and rock and roll. Well, maybe not those last few. Just wanted to see if you were paying attention.
They do discuss a lot more, as usual. And no, the guys don’t really do anything special to commemorate the 250th episode. Maybe at 300.
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the new novel by Daniel H. Wilson called Robogenesis (the sequel to Robopocalypse) and Joe’s pick of season two of the TV show Brew Dogs.

Today is Wednesday so that means we’ve got a brand new episode of The Flickcast for you to enjoy. And like always, it’s a pretty darn good one.
On this week’s show Chris and Joe take on some new topics and revisit old ones — as you might expect. Some of these topics include the “sequel” to the classic Sword & the Sorcerer, Star Wars Episode VII casting rumors and what is now considered “canon”for the series, George Lucas himself, Justice League and Man of Steel 2 casting and potential storylines, the nature of the movie business and a whole lot more. As usual, you can’t handle all the more!
This week’s picks include Chris’ pick of the Lightroom app from Adobe and Joe’s pick of the ComiXology app for Android.

That’s right, it’s another new episode of The Flickcast this week. Sadly, no episode was possible last week due to circumstances beyond our control. Actually, it was because of the holiday here in the states. So there.
But, as we’ve said before, that’s the past. In the present, we’ve got a new episode for you and it’s a big one chock full fun, exciting and useful information, discussions, observations and even more! That’s right, even more!
Topics this week include drones and robots, Wonder Woman casting news, Superman vs. Batman, The Walking Dead, Doctor Who 50th Anniversary, the regeneration “controversy” and a whole lot more! Did we mention all the more! Well, there’s a lot of it. More, in fact.
This week’s picks include Chris’ pick of Frank Darabont’s Mob City and Joe’s pick of the movie The Wolverine, which is now on Blu-ray.

Last week when I spoke about the looming doom that is Man of Steel I might not been clear what I was so worried about. I was not convinced Man of Steel itself was going to be a bad film, I was more worried about what the creative choices of the new Superman movie would mean for the immediate future of the DC cinematic universe.
It looks as if those fears have just been given an unfortunate boost. Rumors are flying that Warner Brothers is about to toss out their current Justice League script because it apparently sucks. Badass Digest is reporting that new writers are on order as the current script is as good as trash:
I’ve now heard from multiple sources that the Will Beall script for Justice League has been scrapped. The story from each source is the same: it’s terrible. Some sources seem to think the whole movie is going to fall apart and never happen, while some believe that Warner Bros will keep moving forward, unwilling to lose the superhero arms race.

Ten years ago if you told me the Avengers would be one of the highest grossing films of all time, I don’t think I would have believed you. Even when Marvel Studios started pushing out the solo films that would introduce the cast of the Avengers, most people would ask me (being their “comic book” friend) who Captain America, Thor and Iron Man were. For the most part, people knew who the Hulk was because of the cheesy television series and on occasion had at least heard of one of the other members of the team, but if you had asked them if it was a film they were going to be excited to see, most would probably have passed at the opportunity.
Conversely, a decade ago if you had talked to people about a Justice League movie, you probably would have gotten a much higher positive response rate. Just from DC’s Big 3 of Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman (even before the Christopher Nolan series of films), people would have cared about the series. Fond memories of Christopher Reeves as the Man of Steel and any of the previous Batman movies were still acceptable enough to get people behind the idea of seeing them all together in one movie. But now, it’s a very different story if someone was going to try to put together a Justice League team movie.

The internet is a many-splendored thing. You can get lost at one turn and find yourself staring at something all together unexpected and beautiful. Which is exactly what happened to me when I ran into the very fantastic art work if Daniel Araya.
First spotted by the eagle-eyed guys over at Bleeding Cool, this set of art work posits a word where the Justice League gets its own Pixar style big budget CG animated movie. Any fan of the iconic DC characters or just animation in general have to appreciate this experiment.
Just for fun I started doing concepts for a faux Justice League CG movie. I’ve always been a huge fan of Bruce Timm and the DC Timmverse he helped create, and I thought it would be cool to basically design the JLA movie that I would direct if given the chance. I didn’t do any huge drastic changes because I didn’t want to betray the characters in terms of who they are and what they’re about.
And cool it very much is. Of course we will NEVER see a Pixar Justice League film, mostly in the same way we will never get a Warner Bros. released X-Men film or a Pepsi brand Coke bottle. But it is fun to think what the possibilities would be if Warner Bros started doing some smart things with their DC stable and gave a guy like Bruce Timm the budget required to do a Pixar size film.

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Marvel and Disney should feel pretty good right about now. Why? Well, because of the success of Marvel’s The Avengers, Warner Bros has decided to move forward (again) with its long gestating Justice League movie.
Now before you get too excited, they’ve only hired a writer. Although, that’s a great first step considering movies just don’t spontaneously happen by themselves with actors making up their lines on the day (regardless of what actors tell you).
The latest writer to take on the Justice League is Will Beall, who wrote the studios Gangster Squad movie that’s coming out soon. Apparently, because that’s an enseamble piece about a group of gangsters, the studio feels it qualifies Beall to write a Justice League movie? Sure, why not?
In fact, Warner Bros. must really love Beall because he’s also writitng their Lethal Weapon reboot and the reboot of Logan’s Run. He must never sleep.
Of course, we’ll be following this as it develops. In the meantime, look for a Justice League movie sometime in the future. It’s pretty much inevitable it will get made. It’s just a matter of time.
