From exciting updates on the DC ‘Lanterns’ series to a deep dive into the Alien: Earth prequel, this episode is packed with insights and discussions that will keep any movie buff entertained.

 

First up, the latest news about the highly anticipated DC Lanterns series. With Josh Brolin rumored to play Hal Jordan and a host of other big names like Matthew McConaughey and Chris Pine on the shortlist, we discuss the potential casting choices and what it means for the new DCEU under James Gunn’s direction. 

 

The conversation then shifts to the Alien: Earth series, a prequel series set 30 years before the original Alien film. Set to premiere on Hulu in 2025, this series promises to bring a fresh take on the beloved franchise. Directed by Noah Hawley, known for his work on Fargo and Legion, Alien: Earth will follow a young woman and a group of tactical soldiers as they face off against a xenomorph threat on Earth. We share their excitement and predictions for this new addition to the Alien universe.

In the Trailer Park segment, we review the latest trailers for Smile 2, Minecraft, and Wolf Man.

Finally, in the Buncha Crunch segment, we discuss the upcoming Midnight Sun series on Netflix, an animated adaptation of Twilight from Edward Cullen’s perspective. We also share our thoughts on the announcement of Ocean’s 14, with George Clooney and Brad Pitt reprising their roles.
