Just a few days ago, Disney fans from around the world gathered in Anaheim, California for “D23: The ultimate Disney fan event”. This year, D23 had been revamped to be more expansive and more immersive than ever before, offering fans access to more of what they love from across the worlds of Disney. Just the most mouse-infested comic con you can comfortably cosplay as a Furry. Let’s be honest tho, we’re only here to talk about Marvel and Star Wars. As with almost any topic you can imagine…The Rivera’s have THOUGHTS!

“Canon-be dammed! Batman:Caped Crusader is here and it’s not your daddy’s animated Batman! (well, it’s a LOT like it, but there are differences.) When Amazon Prime announced that they had a Batman cartoon dropping, fans were confused but excited, now most (not all) are just asking “when are we getting season two?!” Your Latino Dynamic Duo has watched the new show and they have thoughts! AAWA the RDJ uproar simply refuses to die down, so the fellas are now legally obligated to talk about the big bad Doom, meanwhile Charlie rides the elevator to the top floor with his much anticipated, never duplicated “Blade 4” pitch!”

Marvel is back! Deadpool & Wolverine made all the money but was it Marvels saving grace or a desperate money grab. Tune in and find out.

San Diego Comic-Con is the premier event for all things comic books and comic book connected, including movies, television, gaming, interactive multimedia, and so much more! Cosplay galore and unique programming, exclusive previews, and presentations, not to mention the expansive exhibit hall representing all fandoms. Charlie is gonna walk us though ALL of it! AAWA the Dick in the yellow hat is back and better than EVER and Jon is amped, meanwhile he’s also ready to drop some Last Starfighter Knowledge along with his elevator pitch!

The Vandals MC is roaring down the road, and Charlie and Casey are bringing up the rear! It is a rebellious time in America, the culture and people are changing almost as much as the USComicsCast’s hosts! Much like the country and podcast, the club begins to evolve, transforming from a gathering place for local outsiders into a dangerous underworld of violence. Charlie and (our special guest host) Casey have thoughts!

Following King Aegon II’s coronation and the death of Queen Rhaenyra’s son, House Targaryen is divided in two. In King’s Landing, Aegon II rules from the Iron Throne, supported by Alicent and the Green Council. From exile on Dragonstone, Queen Rhaenyra and her Black Council consider their next move. House Rivera has thoughts! AAWA, The Boys are up their ol’ hi jinx yet again, lazering crotches, hatching plans and manipulating the media like it was going out of style (it ain’t), meanwhile Charlie digs Point Break up out out of the sand to give us his PB2 elevator pitch!

“Sweet Tooth Season 3 cuts its saccharine with plenty of grimness and brutality.” Tim Stevens of The Spool says it better than anyone in hybridville. Sweet Tooth S3 wraps up a critically-beloved story-arc and these normies have thoughts! (We’re not crying, YOU’RE crying!) AAWA Charlie plays Don Draper and sells the Bad Boys 4-quel to an audience of one, meanwhile Jon looks to sell him right back with his Cyclops/Havoc elevator pitch!

Behold! The epic tale of a two-handed Furiosa! Snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers, young Furiosa falls into the hands of a great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel, presided over by a “younger” Immortan Joe & his merry bunch of handsome fellas. Does the prequel live up to Fury Road? Your boys have thoughts! AAWA The Acolyte drops on Disney + and Charlie tells us how “The POWER is YOURS” with his Captain Planet elevator pitch!

…Apes are the dominant species on Earth, and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike. Also there are Eagles. Your boys have thought. AAWA, Charlie delves deep into the most recent SPAWN movie update, while Jon connects the dots in the elevator with his Gentlemen spin-off pitch!

“In a future, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles brought about by nuclear decimation, citizens must live in underground bunkers to protect themselves from radiation, mutants and bandits”. Think that sounds like a great concept for a video game? You’re right, Fallout is a highly popular video game franchise at this point! It’s ALSO a fantastic concept for a tv show, and Amazon Prime thought so too, so they went ahead and made an absolutely outstanding show that is all the buzz right now! We are lucky enough to have one of the STARS of Fallout (the show) in Mr Leer Leary joining us for this episode. Leer plays Davey, and he’s ready to spill the tea! (or at least answer some dumb questions) and talk video game adaptations with us, and then some!

He might fall from a tall building, he might roll a brand new car, ‘cause he’s the unknown stuntman that made Gosling such a star! Emily Blunt ain’t so bad either. This week the boys caught “Fall Guy” at the cinema and they have something to say about this retro-reboot! AAWA James Gunn plays Edna Mode and gets Kai-El into is Super(man) suit, while Charlie jacks us BACK into the Matrix with his most recent elevator pitch!

The Jersey invasion of “Lawn Guyland” has begun! Jon may have been in the vanguard, but Kevin Smith & Jason Mewes are without a doubt the big guns! Huntington won’t be the same after a vicious rogering by Jay & Silent Bob! The Paramount played host to our favorite hetero life-mates, and the Rivera boys have thoughts! AAWA Skybound Entertainment and Hasbro have made a patriotic announcement and yer boys are running around yelling “Yooooooo Joe!” about it, meanwhile Jon is no savior of the universe, but he’ll take us to the top floor like a King off the impossible with his Flash Gordon 2 pitch! (And he won’t need 14 hours to do it!)

Boy Kills World… a fever dream action film that follows “Boy”, a deaf person with a vibrant imagination. When his family is murdered, he is trained by a mysterious shaman to repress his childish thoughts and become an instrument of death. Charlie… a punk that sees movies without his awesome bother Jon. Whelp, at least Jon can ask him if it’s worth watching! AAWA Jon runs his baby brother through the glass house and grills him on the Thir13en Ghosts the reside there, while Charlie shows us who the law is AGAIN, with his Dredd 2 pitch!

This week, Dev Patel pulls triple duty as Director, Star and co-writer of Monkey Man! An action thriller that debuted at South by Southwest, but is now slugging it out in movie theaters nationwide! Kid/Bobby/Monkey Man has nothing but fisticuffs and revenge on his mind in this slobber knocker of a flick; Hanumān would be proud. AAWA Constant Readers have been under Stephen King’s trance since Carrie debuted 50 years ago this month, and the fellas have thoughts, and Believe It Or Not…Jon rides to the top floor to receive his super-powered alien suit and grants us the followup to The Greatest American Hero that the world has been waiting for!

Dynamite Comics is bringing Space Ghost back from the dead by giving him the Thundercats treatment! This is no late-night talk show and it sure as heck-fire ain’t no kiddy-story. Space pirates, hijackers and nefarious characters beware, a powerful cosmic vigilante now metes out justice throughout the known galaxy, bringing vengeance to those who prey upon the defenseless. Evil cannot hide from the gaze of Space Ghost! AAWA Valiant Comics sets to re-relaunch Alien Books 4-color funny books, but they have a little spring cleaning to do first, meanwhile Charlie rides the elevator like a runaway T-rex with his Jurassic sequel/alternative pitch!

When you remake a cult classic, you had better come correct (or you might end up with a knife sticking out of your gut). At this point, Patrick Swayze has had his work remade so many times, he may as well be King Kong! Roadhouse is the most recent flick to be retread, this time by Amazon. Did the Bezos bunch drop a Double Deuce on our hearts? Your boys have thoughts, and they’ll be nice…until it’s time to not be nice. AAWA Arrakis takes us into its sandy embrace once again as Dune: Awakening gets set to launch its closed beta. This new Open-world MMO just may be the biggest Survival game ever, meanwhile they can’t take the sky away from Jon as he plays the big damn hero and pitches his Firefly prequel!

It’s 1997, Bill Clinton is in the White House, Biggie is gunned down in LA, Tyson is biting ears, and South Park debuts on Comedy Central, BUT you’re not allowed to watch it, so you comfort yourself by watching the greatest cartoon about angsty mutants since TMNT! The X-Men are on TV in all their 4-color glory, so heat up the hot pockets, pour yourself some HI-C and get comfy! But wait…..it’s 2024, and those stinkin’ muties are BACK (this time on Disney+) and the boys have something to say! AAWA Mark Grayson, not to be outdone, makes a glorious return of his own in Invincible season 2.5 on Amazon and Jon couldn’t be happier, meanwhile Charlie looks to the waterline and gets the team ready for ‘Zilla the ONLY way he knows how, assemble the G-Force for his latest elevator pitch!

We’ve all had experiences and encounters with the unknown, and the unexplainable. We haven’t seen anything like this though. The Parables tell of an unimaginable evil, commanding an army of ghosts, with the power to kill by fear itself, you are literally scared to death. THIS was that threat that your heroes, Jon & Charlie faced at the WORLD premiere of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, in NYC last night. They have plenty to say! AAWA Charlie regales us with his favorite Real Ghostbusters cartoon plots, while Jon takes us to the top floor of the firehouse with his Ghostbusters Franchise elevator pitch! “It’s Miller time!”

Oh that sweet little Muad’Dib is back in all his big-eared, adorability! Chalamet and Co. are up to their sandy, Arrakis hi-jinx once again, and like OG fan-boy Stilgar….we are here for it. So sit back, and pass the Melange! AAWA Jon takes a good long look at the MANY additional entries into the Dune franchise and examine which might make successful adaptations moving forward. Meanwhile Charlie takes the Xavier Mansion’s elevator up to the top floor and regales us with HIS X-Men pitch!

“Time…is a funny thing. The past, the future, it all gets mixed up. There is only one way to keep it straight, always remember who you are.” If “who you are” is a fan of the original American-anime, then you def have “mixed up” emotions as the Netflix live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender is set to drop! It doesn’t matter if you are team water, fire, earth or air, we are ALL #TeamAang! AAWA Charlie knows there is only one hero that can handle the Joker, and it ain’t Bruce Wayne. Somebody light up the Chip-Signal! Finally Jon has the GLOW as he hits us with his The Last Dragon 2 elevator pitch. "Who’s the Master?!”
