It’s time for another new episode of The Flickcast. The pop culture podcast about stuff nerds love. This week it’s Episode 433: The Mind’s Eye.
On this week’s episode called, once again, The Mind’s Eye (you’ll get it), Chris and Joe dive into a slew of new and recurring topics such as the recent trailer for F9,Star Wars fandom, amazing shows like Ted Lasso, Mythic Quest and For All Mankindand Episode 5 of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. They also get a bit serious and talk about the current state of internet outrage, a bit of politics and something that will likely be pretty controversial: how cop show are dealing with real world events.
We promise not to bring the “real world” into things too often. But sometimes it happens, so bear with us. Oh, this is another kinda long episode too, but you can’t blame Chris this time either. It’s all Joe’s fault again.
If you get a moment and feel like it/can do it, consider rating or reviewing the show on Apple Podcasts. Every rating and review helps. And if you’re really feeling it, consider supporting the show on Patreon.
Thanks for listening!

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 . . .

On this episode Chris is back from his “vacation” and ready to get to work. He and Joe dive into a slew of new and recurring topics such as a bit more about Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Episode 2 of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the new trailer for The Suicide Squad, the importance of the COVID vaccine and, of course, the “Big Three.” They also talk about a bunch of other stuff, but those are the main ones this week.
Of course, since Chris is back, this episode runs a bit longer than last week. What can we do? It’s kinda his show. Anyway . . .

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.

It’s time for another edition of Trailer Time. This time around, we’re going bigger with trailers, teasers and more from the upcoming Marvel/Disney+ series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
Now that WandaVisionhas come to an end, what are Marvel fans to do? We’re not getting Black Widow or Eternals until later this year (at least). So, until then, how will we scratch our itch for explosive Marvel fare?
Fortunately, there’s hope. Hope in the form of two somewhat unlikely heroes named Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, aka The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. Played, of course, by the terrific Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, just like in the movies. Fun!
Set in the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame, this upcoming show tells the story of two opposites forced to come together and work together to save humanity from powerful forces, including an old threat in the form of Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl). Can these two opposites share an apartment and save the world without driving each other crazy?
It sounds great. We’ll just have to watch and find out. Well, maybe we made up that apartment thing. But maybe. Who knows? We’ll find out soon enough.
Are you excited for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier? Are you going to watch it? Let us know in the comments or hit us up on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
It’s time for another new episode of The Flickcast. The pop culture podcast about stuff nerds love. This week it’s Episode 427: Managing Expectations
On this episode Chris and Joe are back discussing a bunch of new and recurring topics. Some of these include the season (series?) finale of WandaVision, the new movie Boss Level, directed by Joe Carnahan and starring Frank Grillo, the new NBC series Debris, from the makers of Fringe, managing expectations, where the MCU goes from here and a whole lot more.
This episode is not as massive as the last few, but it’s still chock full of great discussion, analysis and commentary. Well, most of those things anyway. . . At least it’s shorter. Okay?
Oh hey, if you get a moment and feel like it/can do it, consider rating or reviewing the show on Apple Podcasts, and if you’re really feeling it, supporting the show on Patreon. We’d really appreciate it.
Thanks for listening!

It’s time for another new episode of The Flickcast. The pop culture podcast about stuff nerds love. This week it’s Episode 425: Living In a Society.
On the episode Chris and Joe are back on their bullshit and discussing a bunch of new topics. Some of these include the recent crisis in Texas, the latest episode of WandaVision, the new trailer for Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the reboot of Mortal Kombat, the great South Korean sci-fi epic Space Sweepers, DC’s “adult” version of Titans, proper measurements of things, living in a society (of course) and a whole lot more.
They also manages to veer off-topic a few times, as happens with these two. So expect those tangents you know and love. Other than that, this episode is a bit shorter than the last few (thank goodness) but still manages to punch you right in the earholes.
Also, no formal picks this week except Chris’ reminder to watch and enjoy Space Sweepers. Oh, one more thing. Two more, really. 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.

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.
