It’s time for a brand new episode of The Flickcast. It’s a great day.

On this week’s episode Chris and Joe discuss a bunch of stuff including Marvel’s The Inhumans, Star Trek: Discovery, the CBS All Access business model, The Orville, the dangers of “Fandom” and a whole lot 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 dodrink beer (or whatever), try to buy local. It helps and it’s just a nice thing to do.

Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the Netflix series Manhunt: Unabomber and Joe’s pick of Star Trek: Discovery.

You knew it was bound to happen. After all, it’s been years since the last cinematic incarnation of Marvel’s Fantastic Four. You know, the one that featured Captain America‘s Chris Evans in his first Marvel superhero role: Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch.

Well, have no fear, there’s a new version of the Fantastic Four coming our way. In fact, the first teaser for it just dropped and we have to say, it looks pretty good. Sure, you could argue about some of the casting or story choices (especially certain family ties, or lack of) but that’s not really the point.

This is a movie based on a comic book series. It may not satisfy everyone, especially hard-core comics fans, but it might just be a good movie anyway.

We’ll find out when it hits theaters on August 7. Check it out after the break.

Once again there’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast for you to enjoy. And on the correct day too. Again. Two weeks in a row. Wow, right?

As you would expect, this week Chris and Joe take on some new topics and revisit old ones. Some of these include, you may have guessed, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Joss Whedon’s latest bit of cinema (which may change the world as we know it), that controversial Game of Thrones scene from last Sunday, the amazing (TBD) sequel to the classic Sword and the Sorcerer and whole lot more. Yes, more! You can’t handle all the more!

This week’s picks include Chris’ pick of the beer Modern Times from the gang at, well, Modern Times Beer and Joe’s pick of the webcomic Cura Te Ipsum.

On day two of WonderCon, Fox did its best to take over the convention in Anaheim. The studio showed footage from several of its upcoming films and politely remained mum on Director Bryan Singer’s recent legal troubles.

The clip from X-Men: Days of Future Past, which included a faceoff between Iceman and Sunspot, certainly excited audiences in the Anaheim Convention Center’s Arena. Fox slyly avoided audience questions by saving X-Men to the end of the presentation. In truth, fans had already gotten their fill of footage and Q&A from the other movies’ cast and crew.

Perhaps trying to answer the YA smash hit The Hunger Games, Fox now has its own teen post-apocalyptic movie in The Maze Runner. Director Wes Ball and author James Dashner were both inspired by Ender’s Game, Lord of the Flies and Lost when creating The Maze Runner and it showed in the brief but thrilling preview seen in Anaheim.

Each time new trailers, photos or whatever drops from this upcoming movie, we get even more excited. Not that that’s really possible at this point as we’re already about as excited as you can get

There’s no doubt, we’re seeing this one opening day (or sooner, if possible). Yes, as the title says, we’re talking about X-Men: Days of Future Past.

There’s a new trailer out now and yes, it looks awesome. In this movie Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) goes back in time 50 years to alter history and hopefully prevent some bad shit from going down.

Does he succeed? Probably. But along the way you can be sure he kicks a lot of ass. As you might expect.

Along for the ride in this one, besides Jackman, are James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Michael Fassbender, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Peter Dinklage, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Fan Bingbing, Omar Sy, Nicholas Hoult and more.

Look for X-Men: Days of Future Past to arrive on May 23. Check out the trailer after the break.

If there’s one role for which Kiefer Sutherland will forever be identified, it’s Jack Bauer. His turn as the CTU agent gone rouge, doing whatever it takes to save the country and the President, has left a lasting mark on the TV landscape.

And now, after being gone from the scene for a few years, Jack Bauer is back in 24: Live Another Day. This time around Jack is in London and as you can imagine, shit goes down and he need to take care of business … his way.

The first full trailer for Jack Bauer’s return is now live and we’ve got it for you. Check it out after the break.

Look for 24: Live Another Day, which in addition to Sutherland stars Mary Lynn Rajskub, Yvonne Strahovski, Benjamin Bratt and Kim Raver, to arrive May 5 on Fox. Can’t. Wait.

To be honest, I’m kinda looking frward to this movie more than pretty much any other this Summer. Why? Well, because it’s the X-Men, that’s why.

Plus, Bryan Singer in the director’s chair and a cast that’s the envy of the civilized movie-watching world. Also, it just looks cool. Oh, and because this sound like a movie I’m gonna love:

The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. The beloved characters from the original “X-Men” film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from the past, “X-Men: First Class,” in order to change a major historical event and fight in an epic battle that could save our future.

And yes, there’s a new trailer that’s just dropped today. Check it out after the break.

Look for X-Men: Days of Future Past to arrive in theaters on May 23.

Okay, now we’re back on track. That’s right, two brand new episodes of The Flickcast in a row. No, no need to thank us. We just like to do nice things for you.

This week Chris and Joe take on some new topics and some old ones. Some of these include Hugh Jackman, the X-Men, the new Fantastic Four movie, St. Patrick’s Day myths and if beer is a good substitute for, well, pretty much anything. They also discuss a bunch of other stuff, but no need to go into it now. Just listen. You’ll enjoy it.

This week’s picks include Chris’ pick of the Hop Rod Rye IPA from the fine folks at Bear Republic Brewing Co. and Joe’s pick of the new TV series Crisis on NBC.

About a year ago my wife decided to give Fringe a shot. At the time I had declined her invitation to join in, and was subsequently exposed to so many of her chuckles with her headphones on that I began wondering if the show was more comedy than science fiction. The answer? Emphatically both.

Anna Torv stars as Olivia Dunham, an FBI agent tasked with the unexplained phenomena that lies on the fringe of science (oh, hello title!). Most of us would think that’d be a pretty awesome job if we were put in her shoes, until she realizes she has to work with Peter Bishop – a “civilian consultant” who’s essentially a con man – and his father, Dr. Walter Bishop; a brilliant scientist who’s crazier than a bag of cats. Throw all that in together and let it simmer, for after 20 episodes you’ll have a good start.

Sadly, there’s only one reason that this first season wasn’t a home run for me, and that’s due to Dunham. Let me be clear: Anna Torv (at least in the inauguration) is not the problem; her character is. Whenever you deal with a show like this there’s plenty of suspension of belief to make it work. Obviously, I won’t sit there screaming at the television because a non-existent virus didn’t work properly; but Dunham is written as the most terrible FBI agent the agency has ever produced. Practically every decision she makes is mind-numbing; so much in fact that I can’t believe she’d ever be an agent of any kind regardless of how many alternative worlds there are.
