Lots of trailers coming out this week already so we’re here with yet another edition of Trailer Time. This time it’s the brand new teaser for Marvel’s Upcoming Shang-Chi.
In truth, the full title is actually Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but that’s a lot to type out. So, we’re just gonna call it Shang-Chi, if that’s okay will you. We hope it is.
As fans of Marvel movies from way back, all we can say about this one is: awesome. As in it looks awesome. So much good stuff in here we love including kick-ass martial arts action, stunts, stuff blowing up, good character moments and hey, even a little comedy to lighten things up. Everything a great Marvel movie should have.
If you’re not familiar with the Shang-Chi comic, the character is the master of kung-fu inspired by martial arts legend Bruce Lee. In this adaptation: “Shang-Chi is drawn into the clandestine Ten Rings organization, (and) he is forced to confront the past he thought he left behind.” Uh oh.
In other words, he doesn’t want to be a bad guy like his father “The Mandarin” so he decides to rebel a bit. Well, more than a bit, really. Of course, mayhem ensues. We are here for this all the way.
Shang-Chi is written by David Callaham, Andrew Lanham and Destin Daniel Cretton and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. It stars Simu Liu, Tony Leung, Akwafina, Fala Chen and Michelle Yeoh.
It hits theaters and, we presume, Disney Plus Premium on September 3rd. Until then, check out the trailer below.
It’s time for another new episode of The Flickcast. The pop culture podcast about stuff nerds love. This week it’s Episode 431: Godzilla vs. The Flickcast.
Yes, we know, Godzilla vs. The Flickcast is a pretty cool name for an episode. We get that. Thanks.
On this episode Chris and Joe dive into a slew of new and recurring topics such as the amazing Godzilla vs. King Kong, Episode 3 of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, their personal theories on who the “Power Broker” is and how the show will end and a wee bit more on Justice League and other Marvel movies coming soon.
They also talk about a bunch of other stuff, but it’s mostly apes punching lizards this week.
Of course, since Chris is back again, this episode runs a bit long. Again, what can we do? It is his show. Also . . .

Time for another edition of Trailer Time. For this installment we’re bringing you the “redband” trailer for James Gunn’s highly anticipated “sequel” to Suicide Squad called, well, The Suicide Squad.
Some familiar faces return for this, as well as a whole new crop of residents of Belle Reve penitentiary. They are put together by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) “as members of Task Force X and sent to the South American island of Corto Maltese to destroy Jotunheim, a Nazi-era prison and laboratory which held political prisoners and conducted experiments,” one of which seemingly produces an enlarged version of a certain intelligent starfish.
In addition to the returning Davis, the film again features Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman as Col. Rick Flagg and Jai Courtney as Capt. Boomerang. In addition, newcomers join in the mayhem including Idris Elba as Bloodsport, John Cena as Peacemaker, Michael Rooker (of course) as Savant, Pete Davidson as Blackguard, Peter Capaldi as Thinker and Sylvester Stallone as King Shark. Also, look for appearances by Alice Braga, David Dastmalchian, Sean Gunn (of course), Taika Waititi and Nathan Filion (also, of course).
Check out the “redband” trailer for The Suicide Squad after the break. It’s likely you’ll need to click through to YouTube to watch it. If so, we apologize. It sucks that some people can’t handle things, but here we are.
Either way, the trailer looks great and we expect the movie to be the same. Look for The Suicide Squad to drop in theaters and on HBO Max on August 6th.
It’s time for another new episode of The Flickcast. The pop culture podcast about stuff nerds love. This week it’s Episode 429: In the Snyder Cut.
Chris is off this week (shocking, right?) so Joe welcomes “friend of the show” and Digital Trends Contributing Editor Rick Marshall to take on the task of discussing a whole bunch or new and recurring topics. Ah, who are we kidding, this show is about one big thing. Or, in this case, one long thing. Also, it’s about one “new” thing.
That’s right, it’s finally time to get in the Snyder Cut of Justice League now that it’s been released to HBO Max. So, do they love it? Do they hate it? Does anyone give a shit at this point? You’ll have to listen and find out. You can also check out Rick’s spoiler-free review over at Digital Trends.
Joe and Rick also talk a bit about Falcon and the Winter Soldier too. So if you’re into that show, you’ll want to listen. And don’t worry, Chris will be back next week to probably talk about all this stuff again. He hates to be left out.
Don’t forget, if you get a moment and feel like it/can do it, consider rating or reviewing the show on Apple Podcasts. Every rating or review helps. And if you’re really feeling it, consider supporting the show on Patreon.
Thanks for listening!

We’re spreading the love here at The Flickcast. This time around it means the debut of another new series: Things We Love.
To kick us off, we’re turning to one of the things we love the most: Art Supplies. They’re always great to have on hand, especially if you’ve got kids, need activities at home during a global health crisis, or just want to create something beautiful.
Whatever the reason, art supplies are a must. They promote creativity, help you spend quality time with friends, family or on your own. And when you’re done you have a beautiful piece of art to hang on the wall or post to social media. Or both!
But what do you need? Well, it depends on what you want to create. There’s a wide variety of supplies for artists to express themselves in lots of different mediums.
For the purposes of this post, though, we’re going to focus on supplies for sketching, drawing, coloring and painting. Of course, this is by no means an exhaustive list. It’s things we personally love and use.
You can always create in any way you want. But if you need help figuring out how to start or what you might need, we’ve got you covered.
Ok, let’s get to it!
Pencils
Many great things start with a pencil. Sketch an outline, make some project notes, write a story or draw an entire picture. Whatever you want to create, sometimes all you need is a pencil.
Blackwing 602 – A beautiful pencil for writing, drawing or sketching. Faber-Castell 9000 – A German brand offering a set with a variety of grades. These don’t break easily and sharpen well. Staedtler Mars Lumograph – Like the Faber-Castell, these pencils have a place at the drawing tables of many artists around the world. We go back and forth on which is our favorite. Caran d’Ache Graphite Line – Expensive? Yes. But these are the best drawing pencils you will even use. Although, the two above are no slouches either. Rotring RapidPro 600 – Mechanical pencils are great for sketching, layout and drawing too. This metal masterpiece is the top of the line and one we love. Pentel P205 – We also use this mechanical pencil quite a bit. It’s great and a good value.
The new year continues, and to keep the celebration going, here’s another new episode of The Flickcast. The hits just keep on coming!
On this week’s episode Chris and Joe continue their deep dive into the Marvel/Disney+ show WandaVision and discuss their personal theories about the characters, what’s happening on the show and where it’s all going. They also discuss Chris’ new favorite show Letterkenny, which Joe recommended to him (and you) during last week’s episode.
In addition, the boys talk about Godzilla vs Kong, monster movies, the early days of television, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, when we might finally see the latest James Bond movie and how nobody likes degens from upcountry.
Picks are also back this week with Joe picking the new trailer for Godzilla vs. Kong and Chris picking the latest film from writer/director John Lee Hancock called The Little Things with Denzel Washington, Remi Malek and Jared Leto.
It’s yet another big show. Let’s keep 2021 going in the right direction. Thanks for listening!

It’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast and on this one Chris and Joe move into a different dimension: time. That’s right, time. As in they go back in time . . . back to the beginning.
If you’ve ever wondered how it all started and what shaped and created our intrepid hosts, then you’re in for a treat. This is that story.
But don’t worry. There’s no radioactive spiders, fleeing far away planets right before they explode or parents being killed in an alley next to a movie theater. And absolutely no pearl necklaces falling to the ground in excruciating slo-mo. Not this time, anyway.
Instead, the boys take it all the way back and talk about the things that made them they way they are today. Movies, television, music, games, comics and many of the other influences that shaped their impressionable young minds. In other words: This is their origin story.
It’s pretty epic. Thanks for listening.

It’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast. And this time, we’re not alone.
That’s right, this week Chris and Joe welcome special guest Jason Inman. He’s an author, host, comic book writer, podcaster and Army veteran. Plus, he’s a great guy.
The three discuss Jason’s life growing up in Kansas, his time in the military and the development of his love for comics and writing. They also discuss other things including DC versus Marvel, Star Trek, first video game consoles and Jason’s dislike for Klingons.
They also talk about social media, fandom, the treatment of women in comics and entertainment and dealing with things during this weird time. They also get into life, family, the search for toys, talking to your kids about starting a YouTube channel and the first time he saw his comic for sale in a store.

That’s right. It’s time for a brand new episode of The Flickcast. Get excited. It’s a great day.
On this week’s episode Chris and Joe discuss a bunch of new stuff including more about Game of Thrones, Netflix’s The Defenders, The Punisher, the new Star Trek, revenge as a motive and more. Plus, the usual even more.
No beer selections again this week because the boys are recording in the morning again. And drinking in the morning is, well, probably a bad idea. Probably. Anyway, if you do drink beer (or whatever), try to buy local. It helps and it’s just a nice thing to do.
