The Reel Rejects

We’re going through this yet again with DC... Reaction & Breakdown to
James Gunn and Peter Safran are leaving as the heads of DC Studios, and Marvel veteran Jeremy Latcham is taking over as President and Chief Creative Officer on December 1. Gunn and Safran say they’re returning to creative work, so they’re not disappearing from DC altogether. But what does that actually mean for the universe they’ve been building? skydance.com
I’m going through what their DC era actually put on screen, what was announced and is still out there, what’s already been put on pause, and what’s supposed to be coming next.
The DCU projects released during their run: Creature Commandos, Superman, Peacemaker Season 2, Supergirl, Clayface and Lanterns. The Penguin also arrived during this stretch, but it belongs to Matt Reeves’ separate Elseworlds corner. And then there were the DCEU movies already in the pipeline as the handoff happened: Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, Blue Beetle and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Those were part of the transition, rather than the new DCU slate Gunn and Safran were building. DC

What’s on the announced or upcoming list? Man of Tomorrow is in post-production and scheduled for July 9, 2027. The Batman Part II is in production, but it’s an Elseworlds story, separate from the DCU. The People v. Gorilla Grodd has finished filming and is expected in 2027. Gunn says he and Safran have also been engaged on another DC project he’s writing, but we don’t know what it is yet. skydance.com

Then there’s the bigger list of projects that were announced along the way: The Brave and the Bold, Swamp Thing, Booster Gold, Waller, Paradise Lost and The Authority, plus Creature Commandos Season 2. Some of these have had little or no recent news; The Authority was paused, and Waller and Paradise Lost were reported to be no longer in priority development. So an announcement is not the same thing as a guarantee that a project is still moving forward. DC

I’m bummed. I’m also trying to figure out what happens next.

What do you think DC should do now: keep building this universe, change course, or start over?

THE SUPERFIGHT REMATCH OF THE CENTURY! Rocky Vs Apollo Round 2 🥊

Jackie Bonsignore & Aaron Alexander watch Rocky II (1979) for the first time! After surviving fifteen rounds with Apollo Creed, Rocky Balboa tries to leave boxing behind and build a life with Adrian—but financial struggles and Apollo’s relentless demand for a rematch pull him back into the ring. Jackie & Aaron react to Rocky and Adrian’s wedding, Rocky’s hilariously disastrous commercial shoot, Adrian’s pregnancy complications, Mickey’s brutal training, “Win!,” the Philadelphia running montage, and Rocky and Apollo’s unforgettable double-knockdown finish!

Rocky II (1979) Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects

Written and directed by Sylvester Stallone (Rocky IV, Rambo), Rocky II stars Stallone as Rocky Balboa (First Blood, Cop Land), Talia Shire as Adrian Balboa (The Godfather, Rad), Carl Weathers as Apollo Creed (Predator, The Mandalorian), Burgess Meredith as Mickey Goldmill (Batman, Clash of the Titans), Burt Young as Paulie Pennino (Chinatown, Once Upon a Time in America), and Tony Burton as Apollo’s trainer Tony “Duke” Evers (The Shining, Assault on Precinct 13).

Jackie & Aaron discuss Rocky’s struggle to adjust to life outside the ring, Apollo’s obsession with proving their first fight was a fluke, Adrian’s emotional influence on Rocky, Mickey’s increasingly intense training methods, Bill Conti’s triumphant score, and whether the rematch makes Rocky II an even more satisfying underdog story than the original.
