About this episode
Josh and Kris dissect the trend of gritty TV reboots and the "HBOification" of classic IPs. We criticize Amazon's The Wheel of Time for killing wives and ditching character depth (like Perrin's blacksmith/axe dichotomy). Then, we pitch dark, adult TV series for beloved franchises: a post-apocalyptic dragon show based on Reign of Fire, a politically charged modern Zorro fighting ICE, a cyberpunk Inspector Gadget gone mad from his augments, and a Battlestar Galactica-style Space Above and Beyond/Starship Troopers reboot.
