It’s time for another new episode of The Flickcast. The pop culture podcast about stuff nerds love. This week it’s Episode 434: Mortal Podcast.
On this week’s episode Chris and Joe dive into a slew of new and recurring topics such as Apple’s new podcasting announcement, movies such as Stowaway and Mortal Kombat, Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, Tig Notario, special effects movies and, of course, the finale (aka Episode 6) of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. They don’t, however, get too real and talk much about current events. I’m sure that makes a few of you very happy.
We try not to bring the “real world” into things too often. But as we said last week, sometimes it happens. And hey, this episode isn’t all that long so it will hopefully hold your attention all the way through. So no, nothing to blame Joe for this week.

Welcome back to another edition of Trailer Time.This is the place where we post interesting trailers for movies, television shows, games and more. For this installment of Trailer Time we’ve got Zack Snyder’s upcoming zombie heist opus Army of the Dead.
The film, which hits Netflix on May 21st, finds Snyder returning to the world of zombies for a heist film set in Vegas against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse. The heroes must complete their heist while also fighting and surviving against, well, an army of the dead. Okay, we’re interested.
And say what you will about Snyder’s other work (trust us, we have), but at least his films aren’t boring and are often very entertaining. Also, they usually feature good action, striking visuals and even a decent performance or two (we kid, we kid). This one looks to be no exception.
Army of the Dead features an ensemble cast including Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Garret Dillahunt, Theo Rossi, Tig Notario and Hiroyuki Sanada. It’s directed by Snyder from a script he wrote with Shay Hatten and Joby Harold, based on a story by Snyder.
Check out the trailer below. Look for Army of the Dead on Netflix May 21st.
What do you think of this trailer for Army of the Dead? Is there a trailer for an upcoming project you’re most excited about? Let us know in the comments or hit us up on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
Welcome to yet another new series here at The Flickcast. This time around we’re calling it Trailer Time. No, it won’t feature pics or vids of cool trailers being pulled behind trucks or vans. Although, that might be fun too.
Instead, we’re featuring the usual kinds of trailers we discuss here and on the podcast. Movies, television shows, games and things we’re interested in and potentially excited for.
It’s violent and people kick a lot of ass, as you’d expect from a trailer from a movies based on a video game that’s violent and people kick a lot of ass. But seeing it in a movie, instead of a game, is a bit different. It is the “Red Band” trailer, after all.
So, we’re gonna put the trailer after the break to protect our more “sensitive” readers and viewers. Sure, you can just click through to watch, but we hope you do so responsibly.
Mortal Kombat drops in theaters and on HBO Max April 16th. Let us know what you think about this trailer and be sure to check back for more cool trailers for movies, television shows, games and more!
We hope you’re enjoying Syfy’s new sci-fi horror series Helix as much as we are. We really like it. It’s good. If you haven’t had a chance to catch it yet, now is the perfect time. Why?
Well, the network is having a marathon of the first five episodes starting tomorrow night. That should get you caught up enough to watch the brand new episode airing on Friday.
Of course, we have previews for all of this to share with you right now. Check them out, as usual, after the break.
Helix airs Fridays at 10/9C on Syfy. Look for the episode 1-5 marathon at 6/5C on Thursday.
Making TV shows is hard work. Making them good is even harder. Fortunately, the folks at Syfy’s Helix have managed to do both. And do them very well.
In addition to being good, the show is also one of the most successful on Syfy in its history. We’re glad to hear that because we really like the show. If you’re not watching, it’s time to check it out.
To give you a taste, we’ve got a preview for Friday’s all-new episode. In addition, we’ve got videos featuring series co-star Catherine Lemieux discussing last week’s episode and a compilation of the most shocking, head scratching moments from the episode.
Check out all the videos after the break. Helix, which stars Billy Campbell, Hiroyuki Sanada, Kyra Zagorsky and Mark Ghanimé, airs Friday at 10/9C on Syfy. Check out the preview after the break.
There’s a lack of great Sci-Fi shows on TV these days. Sure, occasionally, one comes along, but for the most part, you don’t really see them much, or if you do, they don’t seem to last very long. The new show Helix on Syfy is both great and one we hope lasts a long time.
Coming from Exec. Producer Ron Moore (of Battlestar Galactica fame) and created by Cameron Porsandeh, the debut of the show was one of the most highly rated premieres on Syfy in its history. A new episode airs tonight and we, of course, have a preview of it for you.
In this one we see how things are going for the team sent to investigate a series of bizarre and deadly incidents at a remote research station. Needless to say, things don’t go as planned. In fact, things go really, really bad.
Helix, which stars Billy Campbell, Hiroyuki Sanada, Kyra Zagorsky and Mark Ghanimé airs tonight at 10/9C on SyFy. Check out the preview after the break.
Let’s just get this out of the way right now: We like Keanu Reeves. Sure, his acting may not always be, well, terrific, but he still manages to make it work and has been a big part of some of our favorite films of all time.
Next up for the actor is the fantasy/action film 47 Ronin, which from this new trailer, we can safely say looks pretty great. Here’s the synopsis:
After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and restore honor to their people. Driven from their homes and dispersed across the land, this band of Ronin must seek the help of Kai (Reeves)—a half-breed they once rejected—as they fight their way across a savage world of mythic beasts, shape-shifting witchcraft and wondrous terrors.
As this exiled, enslaved outcast becomes their most deadly weapon, he will transform into the hero who inspires this band of outnumbered rebels to seize eternity.
Check out the trailer after the break. Look for 47 Ronin this Christmas.
Sure, everyone loves Hugh Jackman. And everyone loves it when Hugh Jackman plays Wolverine. Sadly, not everyone loved the last movie where Jackman played Wolverine.
Yes, X-Men Origins: Wolverine wasn’t all it could have been, so this time around the producers and director of The Wolverine are trying to make sure fans are satisfied. Based on this new international trailer, it looks like that effort might just pay off.
In this new movie, bad news Wolverine goes to Japan where he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Brian Tee, Will Yun Lee and Hiroyuki Sanada co-star.
Check out the trailer after the break. Look for The Wolverine to hit theaters on July 26th.
