SoS EP 41: Has Walking Dead Jumped The Shark? [SPOILERS] Oct 28, 2016

Show notes

On this week’s episode of Secrets of the Sire we go FULL Walking Dead! The Walking Dead Season 7 Premiere was rife with violence and death but did it go over the top? Or was it merely being faithful to the comic book?

We discuss with Rus Wooton, part of the Walking Dead comic book creative team.

Here is a snippet from the show:

“I’m done.”

That was my initial reaction after watching the episode earlier this week (in my case Monday morning…not the way to start your work week off believe me)

So I walked away thinking that’s it. Not because the violence was over-the-top (it was). Not because I didn’t see the deaths coming (I did…and then I didn’t) but mainly because it just stopped being fun. I had this whole top 10 deaths in comcis and movies bit planned. You know the Gwen Stacy, the Jean Grey, the Han Solo…nope. Not doing it. This wasn’t fun. The deaths in this episode wasn’t fun. I didn’t walk away feeling like I have in the past. I didn’t walk away feeling like I have for Game of Thrones. This was just. Not. Fun.

SoS Podcast Ep 39: Power Rangers, Walking Dead & Our Full NY ComicCon Recap! Oct 14, 2016

Show notes

On this week’s episode of Secrets of the Sire: Is the Power Rangers movie the next Batman V Superman? Has it jumped the shark already by going too dark? A great article on The Guardian poses that exact question:

“There is something quite off-kilter about the idea of a Power Rangers movie with a budget of $150m, and starring – for goodness sake – Hollywood big hitters such as Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston and Elizabeth Banks. This could never have happened before the current explosion of comic-book movies, and the debut teaser trailer for Dean Israelite’s 2017 movie leaves us wondering whether a big-budget take on the long-running TV show might be the worst idea since Josh Trank’s dark and brooding Fantastic Four last year.”

PLUS: Walking Dead Season 7, Ken Bone and our NYCC recap with Derek Becker of Comic Pros & Cons

Doctor Strange Test Screenings Have Been Positive
Last month it was reported by Collider that director Scott Derrickson said the test screenings turned out positive and they love Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance.

“We’ve had a few test screenings, and the overwhelming thing I’ve learned is that people love Benedict Cumberbatch in this movie. They just love him. You know, it’s kind of the headline I guess. They love the visuals, they love the action. But more than that they love Benedict, and he is Doctor Strange.”
