Episode 163 - What Was His Name?

Welcome to Episode 163 of Broadcast Geeks! On this podcast we discuss all things geek and nerd related, provided our DVR’s have space and our Netflix accounts are our own and none others.  This week the Power Trio (Jake, Mitch and Matt Orrin) are back in the Quantum Realm to discuss all things geek. 

After a week of technical difficulties where we lost a Spiderman spoiler episode to Thanos, we return to spoil the new webslinger movie.  We don't give too many details but we definitely discuss the post credit scene and its implications of the next phase of the MCU.  With the recent announcement of a new Thor movie, it looks like Chris Hemsworth is happy to stay aboard on this crazy ride.  We wonder how deep into the next phase he will be, as we still don't fully know the direction Marvel will be taking.  It does seem as if they will continue to have creative control over the next Spiderman movie because Far From Home is close to breaking the billion dollar mark, which seemed to be a stipulation between Marvel and Sony.  Regardless, it benefits everyone to have this union between the two studio houses. 

On the DC side, we talk about how we will consume DCU after the new WarnerMedia streaming service, HBO Max, is released.  Will it be an a la carte service so we can buy pieces or will we have to get ALL of HBO Max to enjoy it?  We assume we could just get the parts we want but we'll have to wait till next year to find out.  Then we imagine a Batman Beyond movie, and talk about who would play the old Bruce Wayne.  While conventional thought is Michael Keaton is perfect for the role in many ways, Jake suggests Kevin Conroy for the role and it just makes sense.  We all agree that when we read Batman, his voice is what we hear for the Dark Knight as Mark Hamill is what we hear when we read Joker.  Kevin Conroy IS our Batman!

Netflix is still going strong with their content, and there is lots of clamour about Stranger Things.  Mitch gives his opinions on Stranger Things, despite not finishing the 3rd season yet.  How much longer can this franchise go on?  Will they be able to maintain their hold when the other big streaming services release in the next year?  Stay tuned to find out!
