This week on Talking Through The Movies, we explored everything from high-profile casting to high-stakes corporate mergers, alongside a double dose of reviews.
We led with the electrifying news that Austin Butler is in early discussions to join Michael B. Jordan in the new Miami Vice reboot. This casting could bring a new, highly stylized energy to the classic franchise, and we broke down what this means for the tone and direction of the film.
The business of Hollywood took center stage as we analyzed the ongoing saga of the Warner Bros. Discovery takeover. Our discussion focused on the financial capacity and strategic moves of David Ellison's Skydance Media, assessing how high he can go to bag one of the industry's biggest prizes.
Tech Dramas, Super-Powered Satire, and Memory Retrieval
Our review segments tackled two highly anticipated projects. We offered our thoughts on SWIPED, the compelling new drama chronicling the alleged toxic startup culture at Tinder and the subsequent founding of the women-first app, Bumble. We also reviewed the second season of the popular Amazon series Gen V, examining how the show continues its brutal and hilarious satire of the superhero genre.
Finally, we debuted our brand-new segment, The Cinematic Search Party, where we invited viewers to share their stories of going down a movie mental "rabbit hole"—those frustrating but rewarding quests to remember an actor, a title, or a scene! We want to hear yours! Share using #CinematicSearchParty.
