(Plus, BONUS Coolest Classics for “28 DAYS Later” w/ Cillian Murphy & "28 WEEKS Later" w/ Jeremy Renner! “Sometimes there’s a trilogy… I won’t say a masterpiece, ‘cause what’s a masterpiece? But sometimes there’s a trilogy. And I’m talkin’ about “28 Later” here. Sometimes there’s a trilogy that, well, it’s the trilogy for its time and place (over 28 years apparently) It fits right in there. And that’s the “28 Later” trilogy, for incredible director Danny Boyle & writer/creator Alex Garland! And even if the films are already beloved by millions – and “28 Days/Weeks Later” is indeed. But sometimes there’s a trilogy… sometimes, there’s a trilogy. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But – aw, hell. I’ve done introduced it enough.”)

COOLEST GEEK ALIVE dives deep into the media mind games surrounding the release of Superman and Fantastic Four — two tentpole films that opened neck-and-neck, but you’d never know it from the headlines. Why is the industry painting Superman like it underperformed and Fantastic Four like it triumphed? Why is the media rooting for Marvel’s hope over DC’s hope? And what does all of this reveal about the Hollywood ecosystem, where perception matters more than performance and narrative trumps numbers? This episode is a red-caped X-ray blast through the bullshit. Truth. Justice. And the media manipulation way.
