Today on our weekly chat show Take the Black, we dive into important issues of public concern, such as: is Avengers: Endgame director Joe Russo embarrassing himself when he blames flagging interest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe on kids today burning their brains out with their TikToks and their VR headsets and their vape pens, or does he have a point that it's the children who are ruining the movie industry, and not the powerful producers who insist on shoveling the same room temperature leftovers on us over and over again?
Perhaps you can sense what side of the debate I fall on, but you'll have to watch the episode to be sure:
We also run down the sci-fi/fantasy movies and TV shows worth paying attention to this May, briefly stop by Westeros for an update on the upcoming second season of House of the Dragon, and blast through our thrilling WiC News Lightning Round. It's all happening on Take the Black!
