The episode in which The Academy begins fixing its accountability problem, Samsung makes a big splash with the Galaxy S8, Joss Whedon/Aaron Sorkin superhero rumors, Blumhouse may adapt Five Nights at Freddy’s, I share my breakthrough VR experience with Werewolves Within, Palmer Luckey has left Facebook/Oculus, Venice Film Festival fully embraces virtual reality. Plus the fake Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg script that floated around town, my continued vendetta against Lee Daniels’s Terms of Endearment remake/thoughts on remake culture, and the evolution of Amazon/Twitch programming, especially versus Netflix.

Two Cents 050: Overachievement Unlocked (w/Cynical Cartoons)
The episode in which Steve is taking a sabbatical so Tyler from Future Horse joins me, Flash has a Dope new director, Rogue One is going through reshoots, news on the Sicario sequel, Power Rangers, Google is taking steps to prevent Skynet, holographic performances at the Museum of Comedy, stupid backlash over X-Men, Ubisoft is adapting another IP to the big screen, and the reemergence of the musical and disaster flick. Plus, Netflix is making a show about female wrestlers, Atari is trying to stay relevant, and I gush over the promise of VR for a new set of ears (and why it won’t be the next fad like 3D).
Dollar Reviews 019: Green Room/Sing Street/Jungle Book
This under the radar, music double feature episode begins with Jeremy Saulnier’s punks vs nazis thriller, Green Room (03:29), then gets a much needed dose of sunshine from John Carney’s 80s musical sendup, Sing Street (22:13). Plus Steve re-watched The Little Prince (32:28) and I caught Jon Favreau’s Jungle Book in 3D (32:55) which leads to fun convo about the state of CGI (40:03).
