Bad daddy, America's daddy, and deadbeat daddy

Neil Gaman's The Sandman is cast, and the internet was as horrible as you'd expect. Danny Elfman is back and weirder than ever. David O. Russell has cast Taylor Swift for his new movie, but he's still a jerk. Brandon launches his YouTube channel, and then reviews the new Nic Cage movie Willy's Wonderland. Biggs does a deep dive on and around the Marvel saga The Siege. And Karl sets out to name every dad in pop culture.

Chewbacca v Groot: Dawn of Bombadil

 

We launch the first episode of Not Safe for Network by talking about the controversy of Tom Bombadil, Disney screwing over creators from companies it's absorbed, and Mads Mikkelsen nearly ending his career before it took off. We go down a rabbit hole that starts with Wolverine tracking Freddie Mercury, and meanders through Rocket Robin Hood, until ending with a racist caricature voiced by Mel Blanc. Finally we close with a discussion about who would win in a spelling bee: Groot or Chewbacca. This episode has something for everyone.
