Ep. 142 - What is with the recent decline in the quality of screenwriting?
coming up on today's show! Kristina and Saba are back. And the three of us are talking about a disturbing trend we have noticed in the magical land of super fandom. A decline in the quality of writing, from giant plot holes, to mountain sized logic gaps, and the purely non-sensical and in-world incoherence. We've seen it on the big screen, the small screen, and in Marvel, Star Wars, and even in Amazon's The Rings of Power. We'll examine some theories of the causes, and highlight some of the more egregious examples. Stay right there! Want to have your say on the show?

Ep. 138 - Rollingstone V. Z. Snyder | Superman Returns? | The Musical Marvels?
Coming up on this episode of Meanwhile, Ryan and I are joined by a very special guest to discuss Rollingstone Magazine's most recent article related to Zack Snyder and the controversy around the Snydercut movement. We'll explore in depth, both sides of this story and tell you how we feel about not only the overt accusations there-in but we'll expand on some of the less than subtle implications made by the articles author. From there we move on to a much more pleasant topic, the rumoured return of Henry Cavill to the role of Superman, news dropped Wednesday, that Henry Cavill will be making an appearance this weekend at San Diego Comic-con during the WB/DC panel for something related to Superman. And we are going to dig into not only the announcement, but what a potential return of Superman could mean in a larger sense. And we end the show on a high note, as we explore the idea of comic book movie musicals, it's rumoured that Marvel Studios Marvels will have some musical performance quality to it, And only a few weeks ago it was also reported that Joker 2, might also be a musical of some sort as Lady GAGA has been added to the cast in the role of the incomparable Harley Quinn.

Ep. 133 - The Meanwhile Crew Vs. Media Literacy | Padme's back!
With today's biggest talking points being cameos, leaks, spoilers. Some of our culture's biggest content creators and the super fan media have sadly focused largely on the novel and turned away from the substance and science of good story telling. Unknowingly contributing to the subsequent dumbing down of geek kind.  We'll share our observations and discuss what you the listener can do to combat this and diversify your diet. From there we discuss the apparent return of Natalie Portman to the world of Star Wars and the role of Padme Amidala, we'll explore possible story ideas, examine the merit of a prequel post Obi-Wan Kenobi, and pitch a few story ideas of our own. All this and so much more on this episode of Meanwhile Back On The Podcast.  Want to have your say on the show?
