In the newest issue of The Comic Section Podcast, the hosts will begin by paying their heartfelt condolences to two beloved figures who have recently passed away. First, they will honor Rachael Lillis, the talented voice actor known for bringing multiple Pokémon characters to life in the cartoon series and films, including Misty, Jessie, and Jigglypuff. The hosts will also remember Wallace "Wally" Amos Jr., the founder of Famous Amos cookies, whose impact on the snack industry remains legendary.
The episode will then dive into the world of Marvel with a discussion on the highly anticipated Daredevil: Born Again series on Disney+. The hosts will explore how this new series, with Vincent D'Onofrio confirming it, may push the boundaries even further than the original Netflix series, setting new standards for Marvel's storytelling on the small screen.
In industry news, the podcast will cover the significant decision by Paramount Global to shut down Paramount Television Studios. Originally intended to revive Paramount Pictures' presence in television production, the closure is part of a broader cost-cutting effort as the company seeks to eliminate $500 million amid ongoing changes in the entertainment industry.
The hosts will also discuss the buzz around the upcoming film 'Alien: Romulus,' which is expected to rake in $75 million globally at the box office, showing the enduring popularity of the iconic sci-fi franchise.
Another topic will be Tom Cruise's involvement in the Olympics closing ceremony, which drew an impressive 20.8 million viewers, highlighting the star's continued influence in global entertainment.
In a more somber segment, the podcast will cover a legal case involving Disney+. The hosts will discuss how Disney is arguing that a man cannot sue the company over the death of his wife due to terms agreed upon in a free trial of the streaming service. The lawsuit, filed by Jeffrey Piccolo, is a wrongful death claim following his wife's severe allergic reaction after dining at a Disney World restaurant in 2023.
In the "Coming Soon/Preview" segment, the podcast will give listeners a sneak peek at trailers from upcoming releases, including Kraven The Hunter, Agatha All Along, and Saturday Night.
Lastly, in the review segment, Jason and Rigel will share their thoughts on Umbrella Academy Season 4, while all three hosts—Jason, Rigel, and Ant—will review Amazon Prime's Batman: The Caped Crusader.
