This is another full episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny hitting theaters, we decided to revisit our obsession with the past. Not just nostalgia, but also our own dire history. We always seem to be living in the past, so why is that? 

We also discuss the fire sales that seem to be taking place on Max, Paramount+, Disney+, and other streaming services, why San Diego Comic-Con may never be the same again, No Hard Feelings and the return of the raunchy comedy, and we end our episode by doing what Disney will inevitably do: recasting Indiana Jones!

This is a packed episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, and with The Flash releasing worldwide, we begin with the problem with time travel. It's a novel concept, going back to right the wrongs of the past. So why do so many film and TV properties get it horribly wrong? What works and what doesn't about the concept of time travel?

Speaking of time travel and multiverses, DC's The Flash has finally released to varying opinions and box office, but does it succeed at ending the DCEU on a high, or a whimper? We review the film initially spoiler-free before diving into the spoilers at the heart of what could be Ezra Miller's final run through a DC property.

Also this episode: Stuntpeople continue to be unappreciated, Pixar seems to be dying on the vine, Extraction 2, and much more!

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, as the hosts set off for HO Cruise '23, we decided it was a perfect time to debate what the best boats and ships entertainment of all-time is. Why did Speed 2 sink so deep, and Titanic ironically stayed upright? 

Also this week, we revisit 2007's Transformers. Michael Bay brought the live-action series to life over 16 years ago, so does that film hold up? Is it worth another watch?

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, with Ted Lasso, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Barry, Succession, and so many others ending their TV runs at the height of their success, we decided to dive into the concept of these shortened TV seasons. Do we love them? Do me miss the days of 10 years worth of 22 episodes every year? It's a deeper conversation than you would think. 

Also this week, we take a look at the MAX rebranding a couple weeks in, this recent surge of cliffhangers in theaters, our spoiler-free reviews of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster, and our game: Let's Do It Better!
