Hassan discusses how The Punisher was probably the best Marvel TV series, but it suffered from being somewhat repetitive. he Punisher discussion continues as the guests wonder whether Punisher was hindered by the way the character was developed. They go over the worst scenes in the season and consider whether the writers tried to humanize Punisher too much instead of letting the character be as violent as he is in the comics. Tia brings up the moments in Season 2 that made her cry. They conclude Punisher Season 2 fell short of expectations. Segment 4 To finish off the Punisher discussion, the group discusses if Jon Bernthal would be good as the next Wolverine.

They share their disagreements with Bill Maher’s essay about the comics and their importance in culture.

PODCAST | Are you excited for Captain Marvel yet? We run down the latest trailer and tell you why you SHOULD be. PLUS: It’s our fantabulous 2019 Preview Special! We run down the heavy hitters, predict our sleepers, snoozers and more! Segment 1: CAPTAIN MARVEL Trailer 3 (2019) Reactions Did we finally get a trailer that gets us excited to see this movie? Hassan and Mike give their reactions. Segment 2: The Most Anticipated Movies of 2019 We look ahead to 2019: Glass, Avengers: Endgame, Hellboy, Dark Phoenix, MIB and more! Segment 3: The Sleepers and Snoozers of 2019 Predictions sure to go wrong: The Venom of 2019, The Aquaman of 2019 and more! Segment #4: Spin The Racks https://hiddenremote.com/2019/01/08/rorschach-hbo-preview-doomsday-clock/ Does the new Rorschach in the HBO preview confirm a Doomsday Clock inspired plot? by Rachel Roth  A preview of HBO’s upcoming series gave a brief sneak peek of Watchmen and revealed a very Rorschach like character, hinting at a possible Doomsday Clock storyline. During the Golden Globes, HBO released a montage video of all their upcoming shows premiering this year, including Damon Lindelof’s much anticipated TV series based on one of DC’s most famous comic books, Watchmen. Start the countdown to the official trailer because it’s on its way. Based on the 12-issue graphic novel by Alan Moore, Watchmen is set in a fictionalized world where superheroes are treated like violent criminals, and retired heroes treated like celebrities. Masked heroes, as they’re referred to, are strictly outlawed and anyone engaging in vigilantism will be arrested and tried with breaking the law. It’s not like Captain America: Civil War where the government puts a leash on superheroes for making too many messes; Watchmen is grim without any cheery disposition. The masked heroes are treated no differently than sexual offenders’ police might chase down alleyways. the most popular graphic novels of all time and inspired a movie directed by Zack Snyder. One character who drastically stood out, particularly in Snyder’s film, was Walter Kovacs/Rorschach. A mentally unstable, borderline sociopathic, vigilante that took saving the world to the level of an extremist. Compelling, frightening and sympathetic in a strange demented way, Rorschach lives on to be the most favored “Watchmen” character. A favoritism that’s well deserved. Forget Dr. Manhattan and his glowing nakedness or Nite Owl and his puppy dog eyes. Let’s all love Rorschach for killing sadistic pedophiles and driving a compacted prison into a riot in mere minutes; he’s the king. Honestly, Rorschach was like a homeless, psychotic version of Batman. A guy damaged by past trauma but gifted with an incredible mind and a unique brand of willpower, takes to the streets to inflict his anger on criminals as a type of therapy. His popularity only increased when non-comic readers saw Jackie Earle Haley’s portrayal in Snyder’s film, bringing him to life-like no other actor could have. In my personal opinion, Haley makes number two on the list of best comic book portrayals, number one being Heath Ledger as The Joker.

PODCAST | Was a new #StarWars movie secretly released over the holidays? We give you the lowdown on the must-see VADER: SHARDS OF THE PAST and what it means for Disney Star Wars a year after Last Jedi PLUS: Who Won The Winter?

We give you the skinny on VADER: SHARDS OF THE PAST, the fan-film that’s got the galaxy humming. What does it mean for Disney Star Wars and why is no one talking about it? Segment 2: The Last Jedi: One Year Later We look back at the most divisive, controversial Star Wars film ever released! Is the brand forever damaged? Or will the force unite the fan base with Episode XIV? Segment 3: Aquaman vs Bumblebee vs Into The Spiderverse Who Won The Winter?

Segment #4: Spin The Racks Sandra Bullock’s ‘Bird Box’ Viewed By 45 Million Accounts in One Week, Netflix Claims https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/netflix-sandra-bullocks-bird- box-was-viewed-by-45-million-accounts-one-week- 1171925?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign= THR%27s%20Today%20in%20Entertainment_now_2018-12- 29%2007:31:50_ehayden&utm_term=hollywoodreporter_tie + Is it a hit? Natalie Jarvey emails: If you ask Netflix, yes, the Sandra Bullock thriller was a popular choice for its 130 million subscribers over the holidays. The streamer claims that 45 million accounts viewed the film during its first week. + But also … While that certainly seems like a lot of viewers (34 percent of Netflix’s total membership base, in fact), the number can’t be substantiated by a third-party measurement company and doesn’t make it clear whether these accounts actually completed the movie or just sampled it before turning to old episodes of, say, Friends. Why did the notoriously tight-lipped Netflix choose this moment to share a rare bit of viewership data? Some follow-up questions: + Matthew Belloni: “This boast tells us nothing about who actually viewed more than a minute or two of Bird Box. Also, Netflix does not submit to independent ratings verification, so we have to *trust* them. Or not.” + Rebecca Keegan: “I’m interested what a metric like this means for a filmmaker. Does Susanne Bier’s agent use this data as leverage on her next film? How does a traditional studio considering her for a project view it?” The Punisher Villain Billy Russo Won’t Be Called Jigsaw in Season 2 https://www.cbr.com/punisher-billy-russo-jigsaw-name-season- 2/?utm_content=buffer4ddee&utm_medium=Social- Distribution&utm_source=CBR-TW&utm_campaign=CBR-TW Don’t expect antagonist Billy Russo to be called character’s Marvel Comics nickname, Jigsaw, in the upcoming second season of The Punisher. During a set visit attended by CBR, actor Ben Barnes revealed how the events of the Season 1 finale have changed his character, and explained why he won’t assume the Jigsaw moniker.
