In this week's episode, we're talking about whether or not the loud and angry Marvel, DC, and Star Trek fans are actually loud and angry. Are there really that many complaints, or are they being overstated?
This week's episode is a rant about DC fans' reactions to David Zaslav's recent support for James Gunn and the DCU, and why everyone should take it more seriously than they seem to, whether you're rooting for James Gunn or not.
Listener feedback has FINALLY returned, and after getting caught up on nearly six months' worth of emails, we dive into how DC fans really feel about the MCU and what Man of Tomorrow might have to achieve to keep the DCU going forward.
This week, I debunk the myth of "superhero movie fatigue," take aim at the Marvel fanboys using Brand New Day's box office to trash DC, and ask a burning question to DC fans about the MCU.

I don’t think this guy actually watches sports. What an absolute joke. Save yourself time and prevent yourself from being dumber. I would rather listen to nails on a chalk board for an hour straight than spend another 5 minutes listening to this garbage

Frequently Asked Questions About The FliteCast
What is The FliteCast about and what kind of topics does it cover?
The show centers on strong, opinionated takes about movies, TV, comics, and streaming, delivered from a solo host who champions subjective viewpoints and argues against audience fatigue. Across episodes, it frequently tackles big franchises (DC/MCU), trailers, and media culture, often blending personal fandom with industry context, while pushing back against polarized discourse and encouraging bold, well-argued perspectives. A notable pattern is championing character-driven storytelling and long-running narratives over quick hype, with a willingness to dive into fan culture, controversy, and creative direction without shying away from controversy or fan backlash.
