    Episode 268: The Rise of DIY Geek Media
    Sep 26 2026
    On today's podcast, Brian and Mandy discuss news that a court case aimed at blocking a Warner Brothers–Paramount merger has been dropped, raising monopoly concerns, potential job losses, and uncertainty for projects like James Gunn’s DC plans despite primary shooting on the new Superman film wrapping. They also talk about wider entertainment pullbacks, including Disney+ scaling back Marvel TV and the upcoming third season of Daredevil being announced as the last, with Marvel and DC both struggling to find their footing. The conversation shifts to how the increase of AI slop and traditional publishing pressures are opening space for independent creators, citing examples like Dungeon Crawler Carl and indie horror’s reach. Brian highlights grassroots models such as Critical Role and Dropout (formerly CollegeHumor), describing shows like Dimension 20, Game Changer, Make Some Noise, and Very Important People, and argues the future of geek IP may come from DIY communities within geek culture. 00:00 Hollywood Endgame Setup 00:21 Podcast Intro and Hosts 00:43 Warner Paramount Merger Fallout 01:56 Superhero Slump and Cancellations 03:17 Creators Take the Wheel 03:44 Indie Success Stories 05:17 Critical Role to Beacon 05:55 Dropout Origin Story 06:26 Dimension 20 and Game Shows 11:13 Improv Highlights and VIP 12:15 Fans Fund What They Love 14:19 DIY Future Is Bright 15:33 Closing and Sign Off

    Episode 267: Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s $2B Success Raises the Stakes
    Sep 6 2026
    On today's podcast, Brian and Mandy discuss Spider-Man: Brand New Day surpassing $2 billion at the box office, nearing Avatar, breaking opening records, and boosting Tom Holland’s earnings, while arguing its success creates problems for others. They contrast it with Warner Bros.’ struggles after the Supergirl box office disappointment amid merger-related legal turmoil, DCU uncertainty, cancellations, and rumors around Wonder Woman and Batman, plus note Coyote vs. Acme is now making money after being sold to Ketchup. They also argue Marvel may be pressured heading into December’s Avengers: Doomsday after pivoting away from Kang due to Jonathan Majors, relying on returning stars, and reconsidering its TV strategy despite praising WandaVision, Agatha All Along, and Vision Quest. Brian credits Spider-Man’s “lightning in a bottle” to a street-level, comic-like, intimate story and perfect timing. 00:00 Good News Bad News 00:51 Record Breaking Box Office 02:02 Supergirl Fallout 02:43 Warner Bros Turmoil 04:32 DCU Strategy Debate 07:13 Coyote Versus Acme Twist 07:47 Marvel Faces New Bar 10:10 Marvel TV Bright Spots 12:02 Why Spider Man Worked 14:41 Lightning In A Bottle 16:26 Closing And Sign Off
