DC fans are planning to rally/protest/take a nice photo outside the Warner Brothers lot in hopes of getting a Zack Snyder cut of Justice League released, but is there any chance of this working–or of the movie even existing? We discussed it on today’s Nerdist News Talks Back, along with the return of Animaniacs, and the latest Star Wars news.
Host Jessica Chobot was joined today by producer Jason Nguyen, editor Kyle Anderson, and Mothership writer Amy Vorpahl, and they kicked things off by talking about whether or not the DC fan rally set for this weekend is a publicity stunt or an earnest attempt to get a Zack Snyder version Justice League. Do we think this could actually work? Does an alternate cut even exist? Aren’t there better things to be up in arms against these days? And is there anything in pop culture we care enough to rally for?
We also got word this week that Animaniacs will return with a two-season order at Hulu. Are we excited by this reboot? What other classic cartoons should also be brought back? And speaking of coming back, do we care Rick and Morty might not be back until late 2019? Or have the show’s super intense fans turned us off the series?
Then we had another Star Wars including the now-deleted tweetsroundup, from story head Pablo Hidalgo the new trilogy isn’t all that different from the original plans George Lucas had for the movies. Should this douse the anger of some fans over the direction of the franchise? And should we be worried about Solo‘s release being a few weeks after another huge Disney release, Infinity War? Why would they have the movies compete for the same box office dollars?
Make sure you tune in every weekday at 1:00 p.m. PT when Nerdist News Talks Back airs live on our YouTube and Alpha channels. We love when you join in the conversation with us, but don’t try protesting to get another cut of the show. We promise there’s only one.
We still want to hear your thoughts on today’s topics though, so talk back to us in the comments below.
