Ep.221 – Spider-man, The Walking Dead, and Superhero Cancellations

This is PixelSplitters, your absolute favorite conversation movie news podcast with your hosts, Josh.

I don't

want to be too heavy handed about this, but like people want to go to the movies.

And Willis.

Strap in Australia, you're about to experience The Walking Dead, I guess.

Join us each week as we break down the latest movie news, TV news and general industry news and debate about what it all really means.

Hello, dear listener.

We are here and it is the age of Spider-Man.

Uh, this has been a big, big weekend for Spider-Man brand new day.

And, uh, we got some stuff to talk about, um, because you know, some superhero movies may be fatiguing, but Spider-Man is not, uh, we're going to talk about the box office.

We're going to talk about some IMAX action with that.

Um, We're also going to talk real quick about The Walking Dead, which is a sentence I didn't think I'd be saying anytime recently.

The Walking Dead and its 17,000 spinoff series have struck a deal with Netflix for exclusive streaming rights.

And we're going to talk about what that means.

Do people care? I have nothing else to add to that sentence.

And then at the end, we're going to talk about...

There's a handful of properties that specifically we'll say superhero properties that are just on the chopping block.

Yes.

Across different studios, across different like levels of intensity, I guess.

I don't know.

But we're going to talk about like why these are getting the axe.

Yeah.

If there's more to come, if we think there's stuff that's going to get picked up instead and what that all means.

So stay tuned for that.
