We’re excited for Disney+, but could it mean trouble for the MCU? We discuss this, as well as new Apple+ shows, The Walking Dead, and much more on today’s episode of the Geekwatch Podcast! 01:08 - We start by discussing MCU's movie release schedule for the next few years. The BLACK WIDOW trailer might be out sooner than we thought. SPIDER-MAN might be lawyering up in the next movie, and it's a face we know and love. Also, they added another movie to the 2023 slate, totaling up to 4 releases now! 04:43 - Back in the land of streaming, Netflix is grabbing new shows by partnering with Nickelodeon.
