This week on THE FLITECAST, we discuss why Kathleen Kennedy’s impressive list of credits is more significant than the complaints of misogynist cultists, how those critics again missed the core message of Star Trek, and Netflix's focus on making movies for cell phones rather than theaters.

This week on THE FLITECAST, why should we care about movie awards season anymore? Also, should Marvel Studios take notes from James Gunn and DC Studios on how to deal with Scooper Madness? And why are Star Trek fans gatekeeping Starfleet Academy while Disney itself is gatekeeping Wonder Man?

I disembowel and destroy social media’s lies about Saudi Arabia and the Snyderverse with a litany of facts about who is actually buying Warner Bros., how it will likely happen soon, and why the Snyderverse movement is being manipulated by trolls and bots against us.

My largely SPOILER-FREE thoughts on Edgar Wright’s adaptation of Stephen King’s dystopian novel that is frighteningly not as far away from reality as it should be. Did I still enjoy it, or will I be re-watching the Arnold version to cleanse my memory? Find out on FLITE REVIEW!

I break down the key points of the recent Forbes article on Superman and the DCU and add more facts to show how delusional and illogical all the narratives against James Gunn and DC Studios are in the wake of the impending WBD sale.

My spoiler-filled first look at Dan Trachtenberg’s Predator era films. Is this standalone good enough to push me to finally watch Prey and Killer of Killers? Plenty of thoughts on that and more in FLITE REVIEW this week.

It’s the 20th anniversary of a Vertigo-adapted comic book movie classic! Plus, why local sports radio hosts should stick to sports instead of talking about streaming apps, and paying tribute to the Kelvin Timeline of Star Trek, as it appears to be officially over.
