Beam Me Up, Alfred | Chapter 292

Beam us up, Alfred! 🖖🦇 Yung Phil, Jahmez 5000, and SHDU are back to break down another week of Marvel, DC, horror, Star Wars, and general nerd chaos. Unfortunately, before we can discuss movies, we once again have to establish whether SHDU has actually SEEN any movies. World War Z? Nope. Live-action Aladdin? Nope. At this rate, his Letterboxd account is just going to be a blank page with Project Hail Mary sitting in the middle.

This week we debate the future of Daredevil: Born Again, speculate about Marvel's new X-Men casting, investigate a Funko Pop leak potentially spoiling Avengers: Doomsday, and ask the question nobody expected: Chris Pine as Batman?!

Then the zombies rise as World War Z 2 crawls back to life, Zack Snyder potentially returns to 300, Disney reportedly dusts off Aladdin 2, and Yung Phil explains why the new Resident Evil movie feels like watching someone actually play a Resident Evil game.

Finally, we venture into a galaxy far, far away to discuss the rumored Simon Kinberg Star Wars trilogy and accidentally create our next show: SHDU Hasn't Seen.

• Daredevil ending may not necessarily mean the MCU is finished with Matt Murdock. • Marvel's X-Men casting rumors have the crew considering Jubilee, Psylocke, Warpath, Sunspot, Kitty Pryde, Dazzler and more. • A Funko leak may have revealed another Avengers: Doomsday character. • Chris Pine could potentially voice Batman in DC's stop-motion Dynamic Duo. • World War Z 2 is moving again after more than a decade of sequel limbo. • Resident Evil succeeds by borrowing the tension, puzzles, locked doors and player reactions of the games instead of simply retelling one. • Another Star Wars trilogy may be moving forward, but the crew wants to see cameras rolling before celebrating.

"Nailed it. 292nd time."

"My 401K is wrapped up in Funko."

"This proves that the zombie genre isn't dead yet."

"You could even say it's undead."

"The name of the show is SHDU Hasn't Seen."

And somehow Conan the Barbarian briefly became Conan O'Brien. We're leaving that one for the historians.
