    Tonight we recap part 2 of the Better Call Saul premiere event, "50% Off". Despite promising Kim that he wouldn't launch his new business with a 50% discount on "non-violent felonies," he of course goes ahead with the plan anyway, leading to chaos, crime sprees, and even the wanton destruction of...

  22. Magic Man: Better Call Saul Season 5 Premiere Recap

    Better Call Saul is back, with a 2-night premiere event which aired last Sunday and Monday. Tonight, we discuss the first episode, "Magic Man," as Jimmy McGill is completely supplanted by Saul Goodman, and Jimmy's relationships and morals spiral rapidly down the drain. Thriving business and...

  23. HQ Trivia RIP?

    HQ Trivia, which never paid me my winnings from Stephen King trivia night, abruptly shut down and fired its 25 employees on Valentine's Day, just as they were expecting an acquisition. According to HQ co-founder and CEO Rus Yusupov, announcements of HQ's demise - which, keep in mind, came from…

  24. Catching Up With Saul: Season 4 Recap

    Better Call Saul season 5 premieres Sunday, February 23 on AMC, so what better time to catch up with the events of season 4?

  25. The Podcast Returns: Prepare for the Sager Saturation!

    I'm back after a longer-than-expected hiatus, and it has been one heck of a coffee break. I have my reasons for my absence, but what matters is that I'm back with a vengeance. In addition to the return of daily episodes, watch for even more, themed podcasts, focusing on topics from TV and movies,...

  26. Halloween in September: Stephen King and the Walking Dead Return

    Stephen King is everywhere, with It: Chapter 2 in theaters, his new novel The Institute on bookshelves and Kindles, and even the difficult-to-find but excellent TV show Mr. Mercedes back on TV. Plus, HQ Trivia recently hosted a King-themed game, which I won but for which I have not been paid!…

  28. Marvel's Latest Disney Plus News

    Continuing coverage of this weekend’s massive news dump, let’s turn to the new Marvel Disney Plus projects announced at D23. Sadly, the video promo for WandaVision has not been released publicly, but it’s been described to me and it sounds amazing. The promo image, which has been released…

  29. Jesse Pinkman's Second Act

    There is a lot to catch up on, so I’ll start with the most exciting news; the story I’ve been researching, investigating and reporting on for a year or more: the Breaking Bad movie, El Camino, is coming to Netflix on October 11! And oh yes, we have a trailer: https://youtu.be/lZKqMVPlDg8 Aaron…

    more

  30. Doctor Demented

    We’re taking a brief detour from entertainment news and reviews, to discuss some personal life stuff. That’s always been part of my show, and if it was ever called for - wow! So, no disrespect to Robin Williams, laughter is not the best medicine. Especially if it’s terribly unfunny, but honestly...

  31. Liefeld Done with Youngblood

    After an unannounced, unscheduled hiatus, the Matt Sager Podcast is back! And just in time to comment on 2 great streaming shows that have premiered in recent weeks: the revived Veronica Mars, whose season 4 is airing on Hulu, and Amazon’s adaptation of The Boys. Both shows are excellent…

  32. Hail Spidey

    San Diego Comic-Con is underway, and already the news is starting to trickle in, as are awesome trailers like this one for the amazing-looking, if very bloody, It: Chapter 2! https://youtu.be/xhJ5P7Up3jA So I will continue to monitor the news from San Diego tomorrow and through the weekend, and...

  33. Bond 25 Not Rushing the Whole Diversity Thing

    To think that just a few months ago, there were semi-credible rumors of Idris Elba taking over as the venerable James Bond, in this creaky old film franchise. We do have a black, female, 007, but if the Daily Mail is to be believed, it is not only a fake-out, but one which seemingly pokes fun at...

  34. HBO Max

    WarnerMedia's long-awaited streaming service has been announced: HBO Max, launching in 2020, will include programming from all across Warners' massive catalog - including some programming from HBO, and DC Universe, among others. It's not clear how much will be pulled from each of these services,...

  35. Joker and Negan, and How Much Does Source Material Matter?

    While at Fan Expo, The Walking Dead's Cailey Fleming (Judith Grimes) and Cassady McClincy (Lydia) posted a super-cute photo of themselves in a yoga pose they call "the crawling walker." You can see it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzqq4XvFeQ0/ Fleming also had some very interesting thoughts…

  36. Preludes and Nocturnes

    Yesterday was an especially crazy Independence Day here in the United States. No alien invasion, or - sigh - President Whitman, but there were some tanks and some stuff about air travel in the 18th century, which I did not know about. But hey, 1790, 1912, I don't sweat the small stuff! More...

  37. A Huge Comic Ends Abruptly

    A huge comic, which has spawned several TV shows, books, and soon movies, is very suddenly coming to an end tomorrow (Wednesday, July 3). The Walking Dead is known for having no limits: the only rule is that nobody, and nothing lasts, and we’re never prepared for their passing. This is probably…

  38. The End of the Marvel Netflix Era

    Over the weekend, I re-watched Avengers: Endgame, this time with 6 extra minutes, and - it was certainly long. 3 hours and 7 minutes is a long time to sit still, not counting the ads and trailers. And while it was great to see this epic again, I wouldn’t say that the extra minutes contribute much…

  39. About That Angel 20th Anniversary Reunion

    Way back in April, I was hearing (and reporting - https://anchor.fm/mattsager/episodes/Joker-Trailer-Has-Arrived--Also-Happy-Birthday-to-RDJ--and-Angel-Anniversary-Reunion-Rumors-Persist-e3lhfg) rumblings about an Angel 20th Anniversary from David Boreanaz - which is ironic, as you’ll learn from...

  40. Swamp Thing Actor Discusses Cancellation

    DC Universe briefly flirted with Swamp Thing, their third original show. In doing so, the streaming service was finally adding content and working towards building an app/streaming service with a bit of actual content. However, DCU only got 4.5 million over the legal limit in tax breaks to shoot…

  41. First Trailer for Epix Alfred Begins Series, Pennyworth

    Batman's best friend, father figure, and - well, butler - has an origin series, Pennyworth, coming to Epix July 28. In the first trailer, released today, we meet a young Alfred, who meets a young Thomas Wayne and kicks a whole lot of Cockney ass, setting himself up to be a butler to Thomas' son…

  42. Jessica Jones Suffers Foolkiler Gladly in Final Season

    Jessica Jones' third and final season hits Netflix on June 14. Check out the trailer: https://youtu.be/7DBKS2qH51I And here's a video featuring Krysten Ritter in her behind-the-camera role as director: https://youtu.be/EVItgluTbvQ The reviews are mixed, and it's certainly sad to see the show end,...

  43. Knives out for the Bumbling Boobs at DC Universe and Fox

    Tonight, neither of the big two is spared, as DC Universe has given us every possible sign that it has no intention of improving, that it is little more than a scam, and that their mistaken belief that shooting in North Carolina would net them $30 Million. Sadly, they ONLY got 16.3 million, which...

  44. Upcoming Cancellations: iTunes, and (Maybe) Vertigo?

    Apple had many announcements at this year’s WWDC, including upgrades to iOS and MacOS, and a new OS for iPads called iPad OS. I know, I have no idea where they get these amazing names from either! Then again, my podcast is just called The Matt Sager Podcast, so maybe I’m not really in a position…

  45. The Week in TV: Swamp Thing and Archer Premieres, Twilight Zone Finale

    It's been a busy week for television/streaming shows: Swamp Thing had its series premiere - I like it, and encourage you to try it, but with some caveats which I discuss tonight. I don't discuss anything that happens on the episode itself, because the Matt Sager Podcast, unless and until it is...

  46. Archer Season 10 Premieres Tonight! Plus, Deadbeat Dad Professor X Stops by to Visit in New Legion Season 3 Trailer

    Archer season 10, or Archer: 1999 brings back the crew that once comprised a bumbling, privatized group of intelligence operatives named I.S.I.S., a concept which, for several reasons, has not aged well. So, in keeping with the show’s recent seasons of new milieus each season, this go-round looks...

  47. David Harbour Speaks out on Hellboy

    Hellboy is ending its run theaters, not with a bang but with a whimper to the tune of $40 million worldwide. By contrast, the movie cost $50 million to produce, not including the expenses of marketing and promoting the film. So, between that and the dismal reviews, this has been a loss all…

  48. Tom King Departs Batman at Issue 85

    Tom King had just told the Hollywood Reporter that Batman #85 would herald a twist that would "change the character for a generation” - a change which would unfold over the final 15 issues of King’s run - when word abruptly came down that, instead, King would depart the title at issue 85, as...

  49. Elizabeth Warren, AOC and Kirsten Gillibrand Hated the Game of Thrones Finale, Too

    It's not just you, me, our friends and families, and every user of IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes who hated the Game of Thrones series finale. Political superstars Elizabeth Warren and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez express their disappointment with the episode, and its message. You can watch their video...

    After a medical time out to deal with a feline emergency, my kitties are fine and the Matt Sager Podcast is back! Thank you for being patient, and I bring good news! I have both dates, and trailers, for the upcoming Black Mirror season 5 and Rick and Morty season 4! You can check out the Black...
