Will this finally give DC some much needed boost in its entertainment race with Marvel?

With most of the big winter films moving to 2021, we discuss all of the significant shakeups to the movie calendar including the dramatic upheaval of the DC Comics film slate. How much longer will we really have to wait for the next installment of Batman? When will we see The Flash, Shazam: Fury of the Gods and Black Adam. And how much further will we have to wait for Wonder Woman 1984? And now Tenet is apparently making a quick shift from theaters to a Blu-Ray/DVD release for the holiday season. We break down all of the various possibilities with the third Spider-Man film including the arrival of Jamie Foxx reprising his role as Electro and rumors of Kirsten Dunst and Dane DaHaan coming back as well.

We break down the somewhat surprising news of The Walking Dead ending with Season 11 and a spin-off starring Carol and Daryl. We question if yet another TWD spin-off is necessary at this point especially with two essentially bulletproof characters.  Tenet made its box office debut and nabbed $20 million, but was that a success or a failure for such a heavily touted movie? And what does this mean for other blockbusters still planning to come out this year? We also discuss Mulan's success as a premium release on Disney+ and if that moves Black Widow up further.  With big changes coming for the Academy Awards, we debate how this will make actual changes to the Oscar bait films coming out over the next few years. If nothing else, this will force Hollywood to actually be inclusive instead of just talking about the need for it during award shows with pitiful representation.
