After being blown away not once but TWICE, Cedric and Griffin have a lot on their plates after finally getting around to The Whale and seeing Oppenheimer, not only on the big screen, but in IMAX 70mm. From the casts to crew, the scripts to the music . . . needless to say, they've really gone to town on one of their longest episodes yet. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-weekly-standby/message

Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy are BACK! And looks like they're here to stay for a while as we cover just about everything we loved about Part 1 of Across the Spider-Verse (especially Spot and Spider-Punk) with a special guest and what more there could be to love as we anticipate Part 2. With infinite types of web slingers and wall crawlers comes infinite possibilities. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-weekly-standby/message

Back at it with sci-fi comedies, Cedric and Griffin tackle what we may or may not expect from the latest revival of Futurama. And where one ending begins again, there's also Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 which just ended (supposedly). And of course everything else that's sci-fi with comedy, and maybe James Gunn that we're looking forward to. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-weekly-standby/message

Comedy shows have come a long way from what they used to be like a decade ago. That said, what exactly has changed and what makes them stand out, not just as good comedy but good shows in general? Such would include Extraordinary (Hulu), Upload (Prime), Only Murders in the Building (Hulu), and Dave (FX). All of which have new seasons coming. So we'll just have to figure out what chaos, nonsense, and occasional deep moments that might be in store for us and characters who're forced deal with all that potential chaos. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-weekly-standby/message

The Mandalorian HAS RETURNED! That said, Cedric and Griffin try to figure out where things can go from here with more adventures and excitement from the Mando himself and Grogu. And at the same time, wonder if missing The Book of Boba Fett among other Star Wars related shows was a good call. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-weekly-standby/message

Did Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania hold up, has Kang the Conqueror lived up to expectations as the new big bad, and what does this mean for the MCU franchise? All this and more will be explored and debated between Cedric, Griffin, and a special guest in this longer than usual episode of The Weekly Standby. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-weekly-standby/message

By picking up where we left off from past episodes, we (officially) go in deep on how females leads, like video game adaptations, have gotten significantly better and what they mean to us. The includes both the strong and likable side (Karen Page, Shuri, Starlight, Atom Eve, Evelyn, etc) a well as the dark and broken side (Pearl, Mabel, Elektra, Rue and Jules, etc). --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-weekly-standby/message

Are sequels making a comeback? Between Avatar: The Way of Water, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and a couple others, it looks that way. Can the same be said for Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania? We'll just have to wait and see as Cedric and Griffin dive deep over what made these recent sequels as well as the previous Ant-Man movies good as they are. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-weekly-standby/message

Only three episodes in and The Last of Us not only manages to thrill us, but also pull at our heartstrings. That said, Cedric and Griffin try to reflect on what it was about this episode, among others from different tv/streaming series (e.g. Only Murders in the Building, Stranger Things, Bojack Horseman, Naruto, etc.), that got them thinking and feeling. Even to the point of tearing up. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-weekly-standby/message

With the HBO adaptation for The Last of Us getting a season renewal, how can we (Cedric and Griffin) not talk about it? The same goes for other video game adaptations, both already seen (Sonic: The Hedgehog) and upcoming (Fallout for Prime), as well as video game related movies/tv shows (such as Mythic Quest and Video Game High School) and how they're getting better. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-weekly-standby/message
