FED Talks

Episode 199 - Marge Be Not Dead

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!

Episode 198 - Against All Odds, More Ballerina Talk

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.

Episode 197 - A Normal Person Watching Movies

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!

Episode 196 - Goodbye to the Forties

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.

Episode 195 - Incorrect Neil Simon Attribution

This week, EJ figures out which Jason Statham characters could have prevented the pandemic, checks in with some recent TV show recommendations (Four Seasons! Duster! Murderbot!) and continues the Daredevil Cinematic Universe with Elektra. It's a movie that dares to ask "What if ninja Jennifer Garner but boring?"

 

Episode 194 - Talkin' Trailers

This week, EJ watches the trailers for Superman, Nobody 2, and Ironheart. He also talks about them, in case you were wondering how that affected you. He also talks about Chekhov's Helicopter Accident and the new season of Poker Face. And then we wrap up Mission Prep with a re-watch of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning and continue the Daredevil Cinematic Universe with the Director's Cut of the 2003 movie. You know who's good in that movie? Coolio.

Episode 193 - Pitt Pilled

This week, EJ finishes watching The Pitt, fumbles through talking about a sensitive subject on Andor, and revels in the weirdness of The Rehearsal. Also, he really liked Thunderbolts*, which is not going to shock anybody.

Episode 192 - Much Ado About Holland

This week, EJ talks about Amazon taking over the rights to James Bond, anti-fascist TV, and the bizarre streaming movie Holland. Also, general enthusiasm about Mission: Impossible - Fallout!

Episode 191 - Summer TV Preview

This week, EJ goes over the TV shows he's watching, and the upcoming stuff he's excited about. Duster! Poker Face!

Murderbot! The Four Seasons! Catching up on The Pitt! More!

 

Also, a quick look at the bonkers season finale of Daredevil: Born Again and spoiler-free Sinners talk! We've got it all, depending on your definition of "all". 

Episode 190 - I'm Asking You to Trust Me, One Last Time

This episode has it all! If by "all", you mean "Mission: Impossible trailer talk, some quick takes on recent TV, and a mental health check-in".  In the M:I rewatch, we hit Rogue Nation and welcome Ilsa Faust back into our lives, and our trek through the Daredevil Cinematic Universe gets to the actual Daredevil movie. EJ has thoughts!
