    Brian and Mandy return for a bonus, unnumbered Geekwatch Podcast episode after a break due to life and family issues, setting aside recent events like Comic-Con, D23, and new trailers to focus on an in memoriam discussion. They reflect on Dolly Parton’s cultural impact and philanthropy, including her book program, Dollywood, her influence on projects like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and stories about music royalties and community giving. They note the recent death of Peter Cullen, voice of Optimus Prime and other roles, and discuss the upcoming Transformers movie re-release dubbed the “Apology Tour.” The main tribute centers on Tim Curry’s death, highlighting his wide-ranging career and the personal significance of Rocky Horror, as well as roles like Darkness in Legend, Clue, Home Alone 2, Gabriel Knight, and voice work such as Captain Hook and Nigel Thornberry.

    Episode 266: Can Anything Save Hollywood?
    2026/07/19
    On today's podcast, Brian and Mandy discuss whether Hollywood is “on life support,” using the 2026 live-action Moana as an example of expensive, largely shot-for-shot remakes that may lose money after a roughly $100 million opening against a reported $250 million budget. They talk about audience reluctance to go to theaters, weak publicity for upcoming releases like Disney’s original IP “Hexed,” and worries around recent DC box-office performance as new projects like Superman and the R-rated Clayface approach. Mandy praises The Long Walk as a visceral, faithful Stephen King adaptation (with a slightly changed ending) that underperformed theatrically but became #1 on streaming, highlighting the “second look” problem for studios. Brian argues streaming and binge metrics are truncating TV seasons and degrading storytelling, and says spectacle can’t replace character-driven writing that motivates communal moviegoing. 00:00 Is Hollywood Dying 00:37 Moana Live Action Doubts 02:48 Box Office Worries 04:32 The Long Walk Revival 07:38 Second Looks Don’t Pay 12:10 What Gets Us to Theaters 16:05 Streaming Changed Storytelling 21:10 Spectacle vs Story 25:43 Final Thoughts and Sign Off

    Episode 265: It's Not All Bad News
    2026/07/16
    On today's podcast, Brian Hatcher and Mandy discuss the rapid digital release of "Supergirl" after a steep 75% second-weekend box office drop, and Brian revisits his mixed feelings about the film, blaming “movie by committee,” multiple cuts, removed material, slow pacing, uneven stakes, and fan-service elements like Lobo that don’t serve the story. They also address how online backlash can shape reception before release, citing criticism of Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey over casting Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy. The conversation expands to superhero fatigue, Marvel’s reliance on escalating spectacle and billion-dollar expectations, and the need for stronger storytelling and smaller-budget projects, praising creative successes like Everything Everywhere All at Once, Vox Machina, X-Men ’97, and Godzilla Minus One, plus notable horror projects from YouTube creators. 00:00 Opener 00:30 Supergirl Digital Release 01:37 Review Hesitation 02:49 Movie By Committee 03:17 Lobo Fan Service 04:27 Pacing, Stakes and Plot Holes 07:14 Online Release Fallout 08:33 Odyssey Casting Backlash 10:18 Why Risk Matters 11:53 All Star Cast Tangent 13:32 Ensemble Movies Then Now 15:42 Marvel Fatigue Reality 17:03 Spectacle Versus Story 19:44 Good Geek News 20:25 Low Budget Creativity 21:13 YouTube Horror Breakout 22:05 Studios Must Adapt 24:02 Closing And Sign Off
