Beverly Hills Cop and SHIELD Go to TV, Wachowskis in the Mix For Justice League, Sleepwalk with Me Reviewed and More!




GeekScholars Movie News show

Summary: On this fast, but full, episode of the GeekScholars Movie News podcast, the crew begins by discussing the news that ​Beverly Hills Cop,​ and a spin off from ​The Avengers​, focusing on S.H.I.E.L.D., are making their way to the small screen. The GeekScholars then muse over the possibility that the Wachowskis might end up directing ​Justice League​, Michael Douglas' ability to play Ronald Reagan in Reykjavik, and whether or not casting Michael Keaton as the villain can save ​the ​Robocop​ reboot from all the negative attention it's been receiving. GeekScholars Movie News headlines conclude this week with the rumors that Sony may be planning a movie based upon the video game console wars (but which ones?), and Jon Turteltaub's possible feature film, ​Beached​, about a boy raised by whales who becomes an Olympic swimmer. You read that right. From there, the GeekScholars get into their Preview Reviews for the week, taking a look at the trailers for two documentaries, ​Head Games, ​which deals with the latest information regarding sports concussions, and ​How to Make Money Selling Drugs​, which deals with...well, exactly what the title says. GeekScholar Chris wraps up the show with a mini-review of the independent comedy, ​Sleepwalk with Me​, which he had a chance to check out last week.
