On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we discuss our favorite actors or directors who, at some point, were thought to have no career but came back to reprise their fame. We’ll also mention ones that we WISH would get their comeback. Also on this episode, our news roundup includes LuLaRich docuseries about the LuLaRoe pyramid scheme, Hotel Transylvania 4 is skipping theaters and going straight to Amazon Prime Video globally after $100 million deal with Sony, and Field of Dreams getting a series adaptation; a spoiler-free review of Demonic, upcoming releases, and our What's This Movie? segment.

Battle Royale returns with a villain team-up edition, our review of Marvel's What If, and a discussion of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad.

Narrated and guided by "The Watcher" (Jeffrey Wright, Westworld), each animated episode of What If...? takes us on a roughly 30 minute journey using familiar characters, voices, and moments from the MCU films (except Chris Evans, because contracts) to present you with an alternative reality. What makes this series pretty magical is there is no fan-obsessed debate over how things "should" end up. No one is right and no one is wrong; it is just a concoction of hypotheticals for our pure entertainment where one simple change causes a catalyst of changes.

The Suicide Squad is fluid, the narrative structure is off-kilter, and it is often absolutely hilarious in-and-out of the insanity happening in front of us.

Elevated by Alan Tudyk and Michael McKean, Playing God overcomes its problematic concept to deliver more than thoughts and prayers.

To every listener, friend, and family member who has supported what was once just a crazy hobby, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. To every listener, friend, and family member who has supported what was once just a crazy hobby, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love you immensely.
