Prodigious Saps No. 8: "Jump On J.J."
James Gunn's DCU Reboot | Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Retcon?

We wrapped this episode Tuesday afternoon, literally minutes before Patty Jenkins released her statement about Wonder Woman III being scrapped, and a full day before last night's stunning announcement from #HenryCavill. Since then #JamesGunn has finally confirmed what you've heard us arguing for since we launched this show: the #DCU is being #rebooted.

So in this episode you hear us getting excited for what's coming, while still being cautiously speculative… and respectful of #Snyderverse fans who are upset over this development. But it's nice to know now that we'll no longer have to speculate about "if" or "when" for a new DCU.

We then discuss the possibility of the #StarWars #SequelTrilogy being rebooted or retconned, why we think it should be done and how some people have imagined it might be pulled off.

Also recorded during this session is a review of the new Norwegian movie TROLL, released as a separate clip here on the channel:
