Is Frank Castle going full Rambo? We went hard on the new Punisher trailer on today’s Nerdist News Talks Back, along with a round up of all the latest movie teasers, and what to make of Sunday night’s Emmy Awards results.
Today host Jessica Chobot formed her own Defenders with Nerdist News writer Joan Ford, associate editor Kyle Anderson, and producer Jason Nguyen. They started with the new Punisher trailer and whether its ultra-violent nature will help separate it from the other Netflix Marvel properties. And now that phase one of the Marvel/Netflix universe appears to be over, what did everyone think of all the shows?
We also got an abundance of new movie teasers this morning to whet our cinematic appetites, from the new Tomb Raider, the new Jumanji, and the original (what a concept!) Jack Ryan series (oh…wait) from Amazon. Find out what everyone thoughts of these sneak peeks, and how they think they’ll compare to past iterations of each franchise.
Finally, last night’s Emmy’s were a big win for diversity, but not so much for sci-fi like Westworld and Stranger Things. What did our panel think of the show and the night’s big winners? Was the absence of Game of Thrones an overall good thing for the show and industry? And what about that controversial appearance from Sean Spicer? Are people justified in being upset by it? (:nods yes:)
Remember, Nerdist News Talks Back airs every weekday at 1:00 p.m. PST live on our YouTube and Alpha channels, so tune in so you can chime in with your questions and thoughts on the biggest topics of the day while we’re discussing them.
