FED Talks

We're celebrating 200 episodes (depending on how you count) with some pre-movie Superman talk. EJ talks about some favorite stories, scandalous behavior by comic writers, and actually tears up describing his favorite Superman moment. We wish we could say it's the first time he's cried on this show, but it's been 200 episodes. We've been down some roads.

This week, EJ worries about the fact that people didn't understand a Simpsons episode and now he has thoughts about media literacy. There's some talk about a great video game that he doesn't have time to play, and the Franchise Report takes it to the titular next level with the Jumanji sequel.  Probably going to be all Superman talk for the next couple of weeks, so enjoy a variety of topics while you can!

EJ remembers a point he wanted to make about Ballerina, so we're talking about it two weeks in a row. Also, 28 Years Later and no more than 1/3 of Elio. We're talking about the premieres of The Bear and Ironheart, plus the Franchise Report is officially welcomed to the jungle. NOTE: EJ mentions doing a live reaction to the Fantastic Four trailer, but he forgot. We're never going to get to the fireworks factory.

EJ is back on the beat after a short vacation in which he helped both a lost dog and a drunk woman. He's got threatrical reports on From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, and a second viewing of The Final Reckoning. Also, the Daredevil Cinematic Universe continues with Spider-Man: No Way Home, easily the best movie in which Matt Murdock has dialogue!

On the verge of a birthday, EJ mostly just wants to talk about The Final Reckoning and Friendship (the Tim Robinson movie, not the abstract concept). Also, he talks up some favorite podcasts and stretches the boundaries of the Daredevil Cinematic Universe to the breaking point as an excuse to rewatch Into the SpiderVerse.
