Lots to talk about this week on PixelSplitters!

Marvel is back in the news with their unique* casting announcement for Avengers: Doomsday.

Also, things are changing over at MGM/Amazon. Jen Salke is stepping down, and Amy Pascal and David Heyman are stepping up to helm James Bond.

Finally, what on earth is going on with Warner Bros? They've sold the distribution rights for their long-shuttered Coyote vs Acme, and Zazlov's handpicked project, Alto Knights, has completely tanked. All eyes turn to Superman to save WB.

Lots to discuss. Tune in and puzzle over the big questions with us.

Put on your theory caps, dear listener. Today on Pixelsplitters, we are getting abstract.
Staircase Studios is a new production company working to create AI feature films, and they're trying to do it on the up and up. Is there a place for this in Hollywood? What about Film Bros? Is there a place for them?
Finally, Josh and Willis want to talk about the concept of New Literalism as it pertains to modern cinema. Is everything too on the nose these days? Is there no room for ambiguity?

Our brains were spent after this episode. Listen in and let us know what you think!
