0231: Kathleen Kennedy's Badass Career

This week on THE FLITECAST, we discuss why Kathleen Kennedy’s impressive list of credits is more significant than the complaints of misogynist cultists, how those critics again missed the core message of Star Trek, and Netflix's focus on making movies for cell phones rather than theaters.

0230: "Awards Season, Scooper Madness, and Gatekeeping Studios?"

This week on THE FLITECAST, why should we care about movie awards season anymore? Also, should Marvel Studios take notes from James Gunn and DC Studios on how to deal with Scooper Madness? And why are Star Trek fans gatekeeping Starfleet Academy while Disney itself is gatekeeping Wonder Man?

0224: A Vendetta, Cord Cutting, and The Kelvin Timeline

It’s the 20th anniversary of a Vertigo-adapted comic book movie classic! Plus, why local sports radio hosts should stick to sports instead of talking about streaming apps, and paying tribute to the Kelvin Timeline of Star Trek, as it appears to be officially over.
