Show notes

One thing to pack, five ways to power! Head to https://ridge.com/FATMAN for Ridge’s Friends & Family Sale, where you can buy two Ridge Power Banks and get a third FREE. Did DC's LANTERNS stick the landing? With Kevin Smith under the weather, Marc Bernardin and J.C. Reifenberg take the reins of FAT MAN BEYOND to unpack the season finale, John Stewart's future, and why the acclaimed superhero series left Marc feeling a little hollow. The conversation then heads into Marvel territory with first impressions of VISIONQUEST, featuring Paul Bettany's return as Vision and James Spader as Ultron, before exploring Mike Flanagan's new adaptation of Stephen King's CARRIE and its intriguing possibilities. Marc also shares stories from New York Comic Con, weighs in on Tom Cruise's divisive new film DIGGER, and joins J.C. to discuss the latest developments surrounding THE BATMAN PART II and the upcoming X-FILES reboot. Plus, J.C. provides an update on his ambitious immersive sci-fi bar RENDEZVOUS, and the guys tackle audience questions about comics, movies, Hollywood, and everything in between. It's another episode packed with superhero scrutiny, Hollywood insight, and plenty of geek culture conversation on FAT MAN BEYOND!
