Hello and welcome to a brand new episode of The Flickcast. A pop culture podcast about stuff nerds love. On this week’s show Joe is, unfortunately, away so Chris is joined (once again) by Rick Marshall of Digital Trends to talk about all sorts of amazing things.
Some of these amazing things include the recent HBOMax/Warner Bros announcement, some favorites from all the latest Marvel, Disney and Star Wars news and what they’re looking forward to in 2021. And yes, they also discuss how 2020 wasn’t all bad.
How do they explain “2020 wasn’t all bad”? Well, by highlighting some of the many great movies, tv shows and more that came out during this very difficult year. Hey it’s something, right? It wasn’t all bad, just mostly bad.
It’s a big show with lots going on. Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays!

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.

Orphan Black abounds with interesting troubled characters even if most of them are clones all played by the brilliantly talented Tatiana Maslany. But even clones need a BFF and that’s actor Jordan Gavaris who is Felix Dawkins or Fee to his many friends. Felix is also a scene stealing, sarcastic rent boy as well as an outlandish, sarcastic artist. And he always gets the best lines.
Several months ago, after their segment at the Television Critics Association conference, BBC America hosted an afternoon tea party for the casts of several of their shows and The Flickcast was lucky enough to trade questions and answers with the delightful, but not sarcastic, Jordan Gavaris.
THE FLICKCAST: Can you talk about playing Felix, and will you also be going deeper into the character in this new season?
JORDAN GAVARIS: Hugely deeper. I think Season 1 Felix was very much an integral cog in the mystery and the conception of the story and in Sarah’s journey, and now I think what Season 2 helps to do is establish him outside of the clones, establish him as an individual with his own identity and as a multifaceted human and not just a plot device or not just someone who’s there to facilitate whatever Sarah’s crazy idea is that day or, you know, be the person that she calls when she’s in trouble, that he gets an identity outside of all that which is really important because he’s a living, breathing person.
I think that he has kind of just gone along and been that person who picks up the phone at 3:00 in the morning, and I think it’s safe to say that the relationship with Sarah is going to come to a head, and there’s a really tough decision that’s going to be made, and there are many tough decisions that are going to be made, and it’s not going to be easy. So, yeah, there’s a lot of relationships that are tested, particularly, Sarah’s and Felix’s.
TFC: You’ve got some of the most loyal fans, not only the Clone Club but critics as well. It was amazing how fast the show caught fire.
JG: When you are talking about the bloggers and Clone Club and everybody, too, the critics, like the endless list of people, like you guys [the press] who kind of championed the show, in the beginning you told five people who told five people who told five people who like told Dalton Ross who shoved it down EW’s throats in the office and like made everybody watch it. It made a big difference, like a huge, huge difference.
