Show notes

HUGE week for corporate nonsense. Just unbelievably bad decision. We're talking one company buys another company with Warner Brothers officially up for sale, the low low price that the James Bond rights sold for and Bob Iger stepping in to stop a Star Wars Kylo Ren solo movie at Disney. Plus we talk Batman and Darkseid updates in the DCU, a Transformers/GI: Joe animated series in the style of Invincible, Gev V Season 2 and more! Thanks for listening

Tron - Caravan Of Garbage Oct 07, 2025

It's that time again. When Disney decides it's time to wring more money out of the Tron franchise with the release of Tron: Ares. So to celebrate (🫠) we're releasing two Caravan Of Garbages this week with this, original classic Tron 1982 and then Tron: Legacy. And boy does original Tron have a lot going on. Jeff Bridges. Ground breaking special effects. Computers. Glowing Pyjamas. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

The Mummy 2017 - Caravan Of Garbage Oct 02, 2025

Show notes

Like The Mummy 2017, everything we've been covering up to this point has lead us here. The Dark Universe has had its fair share of failures but none quite as spectacular as the 2017 reboot/sequel/franchise launching Tom Cruise vehicle The Mummy. With Universal pumping nearly 200 million dollars into the budget including a brand new logo and the reveal of it's upcoming film slate in a hilarious promo photo featuring the likes of Javier Bardem and Johnny Depp this outing was nothing but an unmitigated disaster. And thats's why we love it. Not the movie but all the stuff around it. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

Dracula Untold - Caravan Of Garbage Sep 25, 2025

Show notes

We've all been having the best time revisiting different failures within the Dark Universe. This week it's Dracula Untold, a thinly veiled attempt to turn Dracula into a comic book action hero. Which is weird because Dracula already exists in both the Marvel and DC Universes. Anyhoo Luke Evans stars as Vlad The Impaler, a kind and gentle family man who just wants to forget the time he literally impalled 1000 people. BUT THEN an man from his past returns to get all the boys and Vlad's like "NO WAY" and he turns into a Dracula. Other things happen but that's the main thrust of it.
