First we start with our Academy Awards predictions for the upcoming 97th ceremony. Next, LucasFilm announces that Kathleen Kennedy would not continue after her current contract is up at the end of the year. Later, Warner Bros. shuts down several of its studios, including Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego. We wrap it all up with the FCC looking into iHeartMedia about 'payola' practices to promote their own concerts. We also have thoughts on Anora, The Substance, and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage.

Equal parts a Captain America film and a Hulk film, Captain America: Brave New World is not the film we were promised, but does deliver entertaining enough set pieces for some memorable action scenes.

The Gorge is an uninspiring movie that’s filled with plenty of cliches that refuses to pick a direction.

First we start with a catchup on FireAid with $50M provided to local organizations. Next, Microsoft debuts a new open sourced generative AI model, Muse, for… well, not sure who. Later, we have the reveal of Avatar: Seven Havens, the next installment following The Legend of Korra. We wrap it all up with Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli stepping back from the James Bond IP, leaving Amazon MGM Studios with full creative control. We also have thoughts on Avowed, SNL 50, Paddington in Peru, The Gorge, and Captain America: Brave New World.
