I always feel like somebody's watching me

 

This week on Not Safe for Network we look ahead at the What If...? series on Disney Plus by looking at the comic it was based on. We talk about who The Watcher is, how the alternate timelines had interesting, if not downright crazy, stories. And how some of those stories wound up shaping the Marvel 616 later. Then we figure out what a macguffin is, before rounding up the most famous macguffins in Hollywood history, and deciding which one we'd like to own. The results may surprise you.

The man behind the man behind the man behind the man

 

This episode of Not Safe for Network we recap the Deadpool and Korg, uh...well, recap of the trailer for Free Guy. This leads to a discussion about evil superheroes, deconstructionist eras of genre in film and comics. Then we discuss the introduction of Jonathan Majors' character of Kang the Conqueror in the MCU going forward, and how the multiverse will work as well as what it could yield. We parse through some listener feedback. And then we pick a winner out of Richard Donner's filmography from the following movies: Superman, Ladyhawke, Scrooged, Lethal Weapon, Maverick, The Toy, The Goonies, and The Omen.
