In this edition of Altered Geek, host Steve "Megatron" Phillips and TFG1Mike return to tackle the latest developments across entertainment, tech, and cinema. We kick things off with breaking news in the superhero world, discussing the production pause on The Batman Part II as director Matt Reeves steps away for personal reasons, alongside an honest critique of James Gunn's DCU slate and those unverified Avengers: Secret Wars Reddit delay rumors.
Over in broadcasting and tech, we dissect Amazon's huge six-year global deal to stream the Emmys for free on Prime Video, and Steve reacts to the internet finally discovering Amazon's hidden "About You" user-interest tracking page. Plus, we look at a community effort by users and investors to purchase Letterboxd, check out Audible's new conversational AI feature for audiobook characters, and break down why studios are now charging ticket prices for theatrical movie re-releases with "new footage" that used to just be basic DVD special features.
