Social media is bad. That’s what The Social Reckoning reckons anyways. We review that plus talk Zodiac the latest MCU streaming show and the first reactions to VisionQuest. With the Paramount swallowing up Warner Bros. situation confirmed we discuss the fallout including who’s fired and who’s hired and the state of the DCU and James Gunn’s role. Plus news concerning the halting of filming on The Batman Part II, delays on Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past and Michael Bay returning to the Transformers franchise. Thanks for listening!
