Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about one of the biggest IPs in all of entertainment, Marvel. Our friend and film critic Luis Mendez of the Mendez Movie Report returns to Heard Tell to talk about the huge success of Deadpool & Wolverine, and the announcement of the Avengers: Doomsday pivot to the Russo Brothers and Roberty Downey, Jr. returning to Marvel Studios. Luis and host Andrew talk not only about the creative choices, but how the changing landscape of the film business and streaming has affected Marvel Studios for good, bad, and indifferent. Plus, we talk through how vintage films, especially very early work like silent films have entered the public domain and are getting new life on YouTube, TikTok, and in memes as new generations are finding the foundational films that so many movies have borrowed from. Also, Luis gives his take on the current state of Oscar nominations and awards season as summer starts to turn into film festival time. We finish up with Luis telling us some of the movies to be watching for coming out soon, what he is looking forward to, and some under the radar titles you won't want to miss. All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.00: Intro/ What Deadpool & Wolverine Success & Avengers:Doomsday announcment means for Marvel's future16:40 How the business model of films & streaming changes affect Marvel25:35 Vintage Movies finding new life on YouTube, TikTok, & memes and how to approach silent movies/vintage films for the modern audience40:20 Oscar Race and Awards season as summer ends and festivals start37:37 What Kind of Electoral Coalition Does Harris Need To Win?48:20 Upcoming Films to Watch For in Theaters--------------------Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inboxhttps://heardtell.substack.com/Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?
