This week, @derekmiranda and @karenmpeterson are catching up with some recent TV series as they talk The Beast in Me, Welcome to Derry, Pluribus and Stranger Things. thewatchandtalk.com/411-the-beas...

Finally, some discrimination we can all get behind.

Why does Bruce Wayne not use his vast wealth and resources to build some sort of superhero persona and tackle crime directly, akin to that Batman fella?

Character & actor was done so dirty by Disney. Should’ve been on Iron Man 6/ Armor Wars 2 by now

It's our FOUR HUNDREDTH EPISODE! Join @karenmpeterson.bsky.social , @derekmiranda.bsky.social , and a Special Guest as we talk about our favorite movies of the 2020s so far and review A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY. thewatchandtalk.com/400-a-big-bo...

Remember when this was science fiction? Well, it still is. Instead of electing an evil genius, we elected an evil moron.

Wells did a pretty good job with this but I still think that Gerry Duggan or Van Lente would’ve been a better choice for this. Oh well.

It’s strange, there’s big cities that I usually get energized from (NY, LA, Osaka) and big cities I just find mostly draining & exhausting (Bangkok) and Tokyo is definitely one of those exhausting ones for me 🤷

I can

I think it's bad that Damon Lindelof is apparently cursed with the gift of prophecy, given he keeps making sort of funhouse-mirror versions of the near future in America (mass loss and grieving in THE LEFTOVERS, masked cops and white nationalism in WATCHMEN)

This week, @derekmiranda.bsky.social and @karenmpeterson.bsky.social sit down to talk Ethan Coen's perplexing new film from, HONEY DON'T! thewatchandtalk.com/397-honey-do...

Bob Odenkirk is back! Join @karenmpeterson.bsky.social and @derekmiranda.bsky.social as we talk about the silliest action movie of the summer, NOBODY 2. thewatchandtalk.com/396-nobody-2/

Honest to God removing a scene called “Ape Fight” from Fantastic Four is just a grievous error. maxblizz.com/new-storyboa...

For our latest episode, @derekmiranda.bsky.social and @karenmpeterson.bsky.social do NOT agree about #Weapons, but really, how is it fun if everyone agrees? You know you wanna listen. thewatchandtalk.com/395-weapons/

Just finished this biography of Will Eisner that I picked up at a used book sale for a quarter. A great read.

FYI, this is a great comic. The Jesse Lonergan story is simultaneously a fun Godzilla battle and a history of Boston. The story by Hayden Sherman had me reading things in my old Boston accent.

I wrote about Ichiro as a player, a legend, and a stand-up comic. I don't imagine it'll spoil anything for me to say here that I think he's the coolest and most interesting baseball player I've ever seen. defector.com/ichiro-saved...

Hi, friends! Check out our latest episode in which @karenmpeterson.bsky.social and @derekmiranda.bsky.social talk #Superman. thewatchandtalk.com/392-superman...

Murderbot is definitely a strong contender for best TV series of 2025.

(1/2) Just saw Superman. No spoilers but here are somethings I liked: -Lois Lane. Absolutely perfect. -Krypto. So cute -The Super Robots. -2 of the other good guy characters were awesome. -the FOS & the kaiju looked really cool -Mr. T & GG were funny & Mr. T really stole a lot of the movie.

welp just had who Superman really is SPOILED for me, that's what I get for looking online😑

We've been so terrible about keeping up with social media, but the podcast has been going strong. This week, @derekmiranda.bsky.social and @karenmpeterson.bsky.social are talking #JurassicWorldRebirth. Join us! thewatchandtalk.com/391-jurassic...

The first two episodes of Ironheart were pretty meh but props to those who said it gets much better with episode 3, they weren’t kidding!

Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future was released 40 years ago today! 🤯 Which isn't all that surprising, given that we're already 10 years after the future explored in the second film. 😁

After watching 28 years later & Squid Game’s final season, I may need to stick to cartoons for a while… #bleak

Congratulations to Osaka, the only city in Japan or Asia to enter the top 10 this year! #osaka #japan

No offense to Zeb Wells but how could they mot go with Gerry Duggan??! Fred Van Lente did an awesome job with Punisher vs Deadpool and would be another great choice.

Godzilla Goes to Hell is a great, short graphic novel. I re-read it from time to time. Granted, it involves way more observation of brilliant art than it does reading. All the more reason to enjoy it.

Hey @karenmpeterson.bsky.social I’m pretty sure Tom Cruise has ridden on this motorcycle I saw the other day!

Well, Roy did have something to do with the creation of Wolverine. He commissioned it. Roy and Len would describe it much the same way — right up until Len died and Roy decided that it was time to claim more, now that Len couldn’t object. Editors commission stuff. It’s part of the job. But the…

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
