'Hamnet', Conformity Gate and the 'Avengers: Doomsday' Teasers

from Screenland with Brian Lloyd

This week on 'Screenland', I’m starting things off with a double feature of new reviews. First up is 'Hamnet', where I dig into whether this adaptation captures the soul of the novel, followed by my thoughts on 'Song Sung Blue' starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson. We’re looking at whether that star power translates into a hit or if it’s just hitting a familiar note.Then, we have to talk about the elephant in the room: the teasers for 'Avengers: Doomsday'. I’m getting honest about why I think we’re seeing diminishing returns for Marvel and why the "big event" strategy might be losing its spark. After the MCU rant, I’m shifting gears to the brand-new 'Anaconda' movie. With Jack Black and Paul Rudd leading the way, this is a completely different beast than the 90s original, and I’ll tell you if this comedic reimagining is actually worth the watch.Finally, I’m closing out the show by diving down the rabbit hole with the "Conformity Gate" theory for the 'Stranger Things' finale. If you’ve been wondering how they’re going to wrap up the story in Hawkins, this theory about social pressure and the Upside Down is a total game-changer.Make sure to subscribe to 'Screenland' on Spotify and YouTube so you never miss an episode!
