While recognizing that time travel sci-fi television has a requisite level of suspended disbelief, Quantum Leap Season 1 Episode 10 has moments of utter surrealism regarding medical functionality. Aside from that, I can appreciate the problem-solving skills Ben uses to bring about satisfactory closure to all three patients' stories. Meanwhile, at headquarters, Magic and Jenn are forced to play ball by Janis's rules, which doesn't put any points on the board until Janis gets Addison in play. As clever as she is, I can't help but still believe she was captured on her own terms, that she wants to be in HQ with the Project Quantum Leap team and within spitting distance of Ziggy.

Of all the questions around Netflix’s new Addams Family series Wednesday, the one that really should be answered is how it has taken so long for Tim Burton to get involved with the ooky kooky characters as there seems to be no better fit. For Burton himself though, the perfect pairing seems to be actress Jenna Ortega and her titular role as Wednesday Addams, the dour daughter of Morticia and Gomez. In a new featurette released by Netflix ahead of the show’s premiere, Burton is one of those who discusses the show and he has made it clear to see that when it came to the casting of Scream star Ortega, there was no one else who he feels would have the same gravitas in the role.

Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam movie for Warner Bros. Discovery and DC may not be getting the box office return it hoped for. Early tracking models show that the upcoming DC flick is expected to open somewhere between the $55 to $70 million range and gross a domestic total of roughly $135 to $175 million. While these numbers aren’t terrible, they paint a somewhat disappointing picture for the folks at Warner Bros. Discovery. The early tracking numbers are comparable to another Dwayne Johnson action flick Hobbs & Shaw. The Fast and Furious spin-off is Johnson’s best debut to date with $60 million, outside the main Fast and Furious films for Universal Pictures. The number was impressive, considering the spin-off didn’t include any of the franchise’s main cast. • LIVE Show - Thursdays @ 2 PM T: https://youtube.com/thepopcastlive • See the full show as a member here: ​​https://www.youtube.com/thepopcast/join • Check out these Awesome DC shirts: https://mixedtees.com/apparel/superheroes • Get 20% off with code: THEPOPCAST Do you think the Black Adam will make the Billion Dollar Mark?

From Captain Jack of Trek Central: https://trekcentral.net/star-trek-needs-to-learn-from-star-wars/ Let’s be honest. This is a golden age for science fiction right now. We’ve got a new Star Trek series left, right and centre. However, is Paramount making use of the Star Trek universe properly? With a handful of issues presenting themselves, maybe they’re not. But is it time that Star Trek needs to Learn from Star Wars? With the Star Wars franchise surging forward with brand new shows, merchandise, theme park rides and more, you’ve got to tip your hat to Disney on occasion.

Peacemaker helped to open the door to the DCEU's expansion into HBO Max storytelling. An effort that was led by starring actor John Cena and director/writer James Gunn. And while the state of affairs with the DC franchise as a whole is still largely up in the air, Gunn and the Peacemaker team are set to continue the anti-hero's story in Season 2. Thus far, Peacemaker remains the DCEU's only HBO Max program to actually make it to the service, a particularly fact after the cancelation of Leslie Grace's Batgirl in Summer 2022. With this news along with reports hinting that Warner Bros. is completely reshuffling its superhero project line-up, it's only natural that many feel Peacemaker could be in jeopardy as well. In early August, Gunn made it clear that these rumors were false, saying on Twitter that Season 2 of Peacemaker "is still and will continue to be DCEU." Now, he's taken the opportunity to tease when fans can expect to see Chris Smith and company back for their second round of action. Peacemaker director James Gunn took to Instagram to wish actor Danielle Brooks a happy birthday and give an update on the second season of the HBO Max series. Brooks played the role of Leota Adebayo in Peacemaker Season 1. Along with that birthday wish, Gunn noted that he's looking forward to reuniting with her "in just a few months," indicating that Peacemaker Season 2 could begin pre-production/rehearsals at that time: "Happy Birthday Danielle Brooks! Love you & looking forward to playing in that sandbox again in just a few months!" After being asked on Twitter when Peacemaker Season 2 begins filming, Gunn confirmed that "it won’t be until [Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3] is released." The MCU sequel hits theaters on May 5, 2023, indicating filming will begin after then once the director has concluded his post-production and press duties. Peacemaker Season 2 Almost Ready to Film In early 2021, Peacemaker ended with the shocking inclusion of the Justice League, even though only Ezra Miller and Jason Momoa actually reprised their roles from the movies. And with John Cena ready to continue Peacemaker's story for the foreseeable future, it appears that filming is now close to starting up for Warner Bros. At the moment, there are no specific plot details known for Season 2, particularly with the alien cow now dead and destroyed after Episode 8. But with just over three months left until 2022 comes to an end, more details might come to light as Gunn and his team inch closer to the start of filming. Season 1 star Robert Patrick teased some of the crazy ideas that could come to fruition in Season 2, looking ahead to those episodes even though his character was killed off before that first set of episodes ended. But with filming now likely drawing closer, the hope is that some of those crazy ideas will become known to the public soon.

Peacock says it snapped up the movie adaptation of the beloved NBC series in a highly competitive bid. “Community” is back in session. After much hedging from series creator Dan Harmon, the movie adaptation of the beloved NBC series is officially a go. Peacock has ordered the film, snapping it up out of what it says was a highly competitive situation. Fans have been demanding a movie followup since the fan-led social media movement #SixSeasonsAndAMovie launched in 2014. Original stars Joel McHale, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash and Ken Jeong will reunite with Joel McHale as an executive producer; Chevy Chase, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Donald Glover are not listed among the movie’s cast. When IndieWire asked about their apparent lack of involvement in the project, a Peacock spokesperson responded: “These are the only details we are releasing at this time.” McHale tagged Glover among his other cast mates when he posted the below tease on Twitter the morning of the movie announcement. Chase, who is also on Twitter, was not tagged. The “Community” movie will come from original series creator Dan Harmon, executive producer Andrew Guest, and from studios Sony Pictures Television and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group. Peacock is also acquiring the full series library (non-exclusively). Per the official press release: From the TV series that predicted its own movie, comes the least predictable movie of a TV series that referenced a lot of movies and TV. “The fan that Instagrams every day about ‘Community,’ how can you tell them, ‘Yes, it’s definitely going to happen, but it may be between one and eight years from now’ — which is how the industry works, especially when you factor in pandemics and whatnot,” Harmon said recently when last hinting at the possibility of a movie. “It just feels like psychological torture, from a fan’s perspective, to keep looking into the backseat of a station wagon and saying, ‘Who wants McDonald’s?’ And to just keep driving down the freeway. I don’t want to be guilty of causing that sensation. It just takes so long sometimes.” “‘Six seasons and a movie’ started out as a cheeky line from ‘Community’’s early seasons and quickly ignited a passionate fan movement for this iconic, hilarious and cool (cool, cool) NBC comedy,” said Susan Rovner, chairman, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “We’re incredibly grateful that 15 years later, we are able to deliver fans this promised movie and can’t wait to get to work with Dan Harmon, Andrew Guest, Joel McHale, Sony and our partners at UTV to continue this epic comedy for Peacock audiences.” “Community was light years ahead of its time when it premiered on NBC in 2009 and we are thrilled to once again visit the brilliant minds of Dan Harmon, Andrew Guest and this impeccable cast. We are grateful to Peacock, our partners at UTV and to all the zealous fans who have cherished this iconic show,” said Jason Clodfelter, co-president, Sony Pictures Television Studios. “This franchise is the very definition of community,” said Erin Underhill, president, Universal Television. “We’re excited to bring the band back together and continue the journey of these beloved characters.” Become a MEMBER and see the full show: https://www.youtube.com/thepopcast/join Check out our Merch Store! https://mixedtees.com/thepopcast 20% off with code: THEPOPCAST Our Channels: The Popcast Prime: http://popcst.co/main The Popcast Unleashed: http://popcst.co/live DC Unleashed: http://popcst.co/dcu Cinematic Unleashed: http://popcst.co/music Fantasy Unleashed: http://popcst.co/fu Marvel Unleashed: http://popcst.co/marvel Star Wars Unleashed: http://popcst.co/starwars Mysteries Unleashed: http://popcst.co/mu Gaming Unleashed: http://popcst.co/gaming BBQ Unleashed: http://popcst.co/bbq Raw Rant 2.0: http://popcst.co/raw Social Media: discord.io/popcast facebook.com/popcastguys twitter.com/popcastguys #community #sixseasonsandamovie #peacock

Thumbnail art from Trek Central art team! Website ► https://trekcentral.net Hot on the heels of news that Kate Mulgrew will voice Captain Janeway in the upcoming children’s animated series Star Trek: Prodigy comes this: Kate Mulgrew may also end up reprising the role of Janeway in a live-action Star Trek series. Often accurate and ahead of the curve scooper Daniel Richtman says that CBS is working on a plan to bring back Mulgrew as an older version of Kathryn Janeway, in much the same way they’ve already done for Patrick Stewart with Star Trek: Picard. The rumored idea involves having her appear on Star Trek: Picard and then spinning her appearance off into its own show. There’s only one problem with that idea: Very few people like or even watch Star Trek: Picard. CBS might be better off simply kicking off a totally separate and unrelated show rather than saddling it with all that Picard baggage.

Members Review: https://youtu.be/AFCpZbq686A A colorful artifact returns as Ben makes his most perilous jump yet on Quantum Leap. Quantum Leap episode 3 has a funny title. In the opening scenes of this installment, our leaper, Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee), says the exact opposite line, “somebody up there must hate me,” when he lands in the body of a middle-weight boxing champ on the eve of his world championship match. Ben is quickly knocked out cold by his sparring partner, a fate which may be justly due to him as the Quantum Leap Project’s team learns more about Ben’s covert activities in the six months leading up to his unauthorized leap into history. Already Janis is impacting the team’s success in connecting with Ben. Through the thumb drive that Ben was hiding in his bookshelf and that Addison recovered from their shared home, a bug is injected into Ziggy that causes it to slow down and miss important information, leaving Addison and Ben to figure out things on the fly and without all the data and statistical probability that Ziggy uses to help determine the leaper’s best path forward. So far, Janis is always one step ahead of the Quantum Leap Project’s team of military and civilian tech and time-travel experts. The balance of each episode’s vacillation between the story happening to Ben in the past and the story taking place in the present is unfamiliar territory in the Quantum Leap canon. Much concern, and even consternation, has been raised by modern day fans about the whiplash caused by a focus on the present in this sequel. While it still feels strange to see the present so completely in the new Quantum Leap, and stranger still that certain canonical devices of the present are absent (such as the Waiting Room where leapt-into-bodies were held in the original series until they could return to their time and place), it’s certain that there would be no Janis in this story without the present-day focus. And if there is no Janis, then there is no link to Al Calavicci in this revival of Quantum Leap. I am willing to suspend all disbelief and concern about this past-to-present conundrum if it means that Al can live on in this story to help one more time from the great beyond to put right what is going wrong. Even if it is his own flesh and blood, whose birth wouldn’t have been possible if the original series had ended in any other way than it did, who is causing so much trouble. Gummy Bear Ziggy is back, though in bad hands…for now.

In July just as they were about to start shooting the season one finale, Mount tweeted: “Old school fans are going to VERY excited to see what we’re trying to pull off with this one.” In a new interview with Syfy (promoting his role as Batman in the new DC animated film Injustice) the actor was asked about what the July tweet meant regarding the series and Mount clarified he wasn’t actually talking about Strange New Worlds in general for that particular message: Well, I think that tweet was a little misinterpreted. I was talking about episode 10, specifically. But I do think the spirit of our show is in its title. We’re going back to the big idea of the week, the new planet of the week. I think that in itself is going to be exciting for old school fans, as well as new ones.
