0208: Test Screenings, Box Office Projections, and Franchises

June 03, 2025 by TheFliteCast

This week I rave about DC Studios marketing again, rant about test screenings and box office projections, and explain why both sides of fans are selfish about whether or not Sinners should be a franchise.

0206: This Is a Picture of Superman

May 19, 2025 by TheFliteCast

It’s time to set the record straight about how actual Zack Snyder fans are reacting to James Gunn’s Superman, while praising some new marketing from DC Studios and my ultimate hope on how the new movie can bring the Snyder and Anti-Snyder cults to their knees.

FLITE ALERT 0006: Superman and Ironheart Trailers

May 14, 2025 by TheFliteCast

My thoughts on the first full trailer for Superman and how it could strike an ironic blow for rational DC fans everywhere, and how the Ironheart trailer reminds me of another recent Disney+ series that also deserved more than it got.

April 16, 2025 by TheFliteCast
