It’s time for another new episode of The Flickcast. The pop culture podcast about stuff nerds love. This week it’s Episode 426: Rising to the Occasion. 

On this episode Chris and Joe are back discussing a bunch of new (and old) topics. Some of these include the latest episode of WandaVision, the new trailer for Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, DC’s Titans television series, the new Superman and Lois series, inappropriate humor, rising to the occasion and a whole lot more.

It’s another big episode. Long. Huge. You get the idea. . . It’s massive. . . Okay, we’re done. 

Oh hey, if you get a moment and feel like it/can do it, consider rating or reviewing the show on Apple Podcasts and supporting the show on Patreon. We’d really appreciate it. 

Thanks for listening!

It’s time for brand new episode of The Flickcast podcast. We promise it’s not quite as lengthy as last week, so don’t worry.

We realize some of you may have short attention spans. But when we’ve got something to say, we say it. Even if it takes an hour and a half to do it. That’s just how the world works sometimes. 

This week’s episode of the podcast, however, is shorter, but still manages to pack in all kids of stuff. Some of the stuff include the recent Joss Whedon and Gina Carano controversies, more WandaVision including Chris’ new theory on what it’s all about, continuing discussion of how show business works, how most plots of TV series are derived from OG Star Trek episodes and the career of Nicholas Cage. 

Speaking of Mr. Cage, Chris’s pick this week is a recent movie, starring the man himself, called Willy’s Wonderland. In it Cage players a drifter who must survive the night by doing battle with animatronic creatures at a Chuck-e-Cheese-like establishment. It’s pretty crazy.

Joe didn’t make a pick this week, but feel free to listen to a Marillion album in his honor. Thanks for listening.

Welcome back to a brand new episode of The Flickcast. Episode 423: Here Comes the Juice!

This week Chris and Joe dive right back into it. First up is WandaVision where they provide insight and analysis of episode 5 of the Marvel/Disney+, where the show might go from here and that very interesting character who popped in at the end. They’ve got some pretty wild theories, but they just might turn out the be correct. We’ll know soon enough.

Then, the boys shift gears to talk about the last two episodes of Amazon Prime’s amazing series The Expanse. Some of the discussion focuses on the penultimate episode of the season with the rest all about the season finale. They also talk about the direction, writing, cinematography and effects of the show, some of the standout acting performances during the season as well as the departure of a series regular and the death of a major character in the season finale (Spoilers).

And yeah, with the actor leaving The Expanse, Chris and Joe do get into some of the reasons why he might have been let go, other examples around the industry and, yes, a bit about “cancel culture.” Sorry, it had to be done.

It’s another big show. Probably the longest episode ever, but it’s chock full of goodness so give it a try. Thanks for listening!

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. Still going strong eight episodes in. Nice!

On this episode Chris and Joe get deep into all-things Marvel as they discuss WandaVision and how it fits into the greater MCU and what it means for other Marvel franchises like Doctor Strange and X-Men. They also talk about the Marvel multiverse and potential special appearances by various actors in upcoming movies and TV shows and how the Marvel schedule has been pushed around again.

They also talk Tom Cruise in space, 90s Justice League Crossovers, multiple Batmans and Flashes, new content and casting announcements like Tatiana Maslany as She-Hulk, the newly announced Nick Fury series for Disney+, how Marvel may approach the action for the show given the “maturity” of Samual L. Jackson and who would win in a fight between Vin Diesel and Tom Cruise.

Plus, Chris gushes for more than a few minutes about how great Netflix’s Enola Holmes is. It is great. You should watch it. They also touch on other topics like video game consoles, Blade Runner: 2049, the horrible live-action D&D movie and, of course, the usual more.

Topics this week include Thor: The Dark World and it’s recent tie-in with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Married with Children, The Walking Dead, Doctor Who, classic sitcoms and a whole lot more! Did we mention all the more! Well, there’s a lot of it.

This week’s picks include Chris’ pick of the brand new iPad Mini with retina display from Apple and Joe’s pick of the TV series Person of Interest.

You have to like the way CBS takes care of business. They don’t give out info about what series they are renewing in little bits, they just pretty much let it all out at once. That’s good, especially for those of us who don’t like to wait.

So, with that in mind, the network announced renewals for most of its current series for next season, with two big exceptions: Criminal Minds and Vegas. Criminal Minds is in the middle of cast negotiations so nothing on that yet and Vegas hasn’t done that well in the ratings so CBS is going to try it out on Friday nights later this year.

However, lots of other shows got the green light for a new season. Among the list are Elementary, The Good Wife, 2 Broke Girls, Mike & Molly, NCIS: LA, Person Of Interest, The Mentalist, Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods. The shows join the list of others already renewed including The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, NCIS and CSI.

Also picked up for next season are shows we care less about such as The Amazing Race, Survivor and Undercover Boss, 60 Minutes and 48 Hours. So yeah, that’s a lot of shows.

Glad to see Elementary will be back for another season. That show is starting to grow on us, as are guilty pleasures Hawaii Five-0, NCIS and yes, even 2 Broke Girls — but mostly for Kat Dennings. Hey, can you blame us?

Even with all the hoopla surrounding Comic-Con in San Diego (you do know it starts tomorrow, right?) we can’t forget that there’s other things going on in thwe world.

One of these other things is TV and when our favorite shows like The Big Bang Theory and NCIS are going to be coming back. CBS today announced its primetime premiere dates and it looks like all of its new and returning shows will drop during the week of September 24-30, during what is known traditionally as “premiere week.”

Check out the full schedule below:

Wednesday, Sept. 19
8-9:30 PM SURVIVOR: PHILIPPINES (25th edition premiere)

Monday, Sept. 24
8-8:30 PM HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (8th season premiere)
8:30-9 PM PARTNERS (Series Debut)
9-9:30 PM 2 BROKE GIRLS (2nd season premiere)
9:30-10 PM MIKE & MOLLY (3rd season premiere)
10-11 PM HAWAII FIVE-0 (3rd season premiere)

That’s right folks, we’re still in San Diego and still working to bring you as much Comic-Con related stuff as we possibly can. This time it’s another mega photo gallery (well, 32 photos is a lot) feturing more consumes, booths and other sites of the Con.

Also, today is Star Wars day at the SDCC so be prepared to see quite a few folks dressed as their favorite character from the Star Wars universe. For us, that means any character from the original trilogy.

So sit back, relax and take a look at another in our series of photo galleries sure to provide you with hours (or at least minutes) of enjoyment.

Check out all the pics after the break. Be sure to check back right here at The Flickcast for all your Comic-Con San Diego news, interview and more. Also, don’t forget to check out our mega photo gallery from Day 1.

The primetime TV landscape for Fall is almost complete. With NBC, ABC and Fox already releasing their schedules for Fall, CBS now joins in and has announced their primetime schedule for 2011 and 2012 as well.

Some of the changes made by the network for Fall include moving CSI from Thursday to Wednesday nights and launching new drama Person of Interest in its place. In addition, The Good Wife will move to Sundays and Rules of Engagement to Saturdays.

New series from the network include three new dramas and two new comedies. They are as follows: Person of Interest, a crime thriller from executive producer J.J. Abrams starring Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson and Taraji P. Henson; Unforgettable, starring Dylan Walsh and Poppy Montgomery as a former detective with a rare condition that enables her to remember virtually every detail from every day of her life.

In addition, CBS will debut A Gifted Man about a preeminent surgeon whose life changes forever when his deceased ex-wife returns, starring Patrick Wilson and Jennifer Ehle; 2 Broke Girls, a comedy about two strikingly different young waitresses who form an unlikely friendship, starring Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs; and an odd-couple comedy, How to Be A Gentleman, starring David Hornsby and Kevin Dillon, about a refined magazine columnist and his very unrefined personal trainer.

These new series will be joined by 19 returning shows including NCIS, The Big Bang Theory, 60 Minutes, Hawaii Five-O, Mike & Molly, Survivor and The Amazing Race.

Heres the new Fall schedule:
