What did you watch?

 While snowed in at home, I watched:
 Various YouTube videos.
 Pop Culture Breakdown | Captain America 4 Ticket Sales BAD | Skydance Wants NuTrek CANCELED!:
POP CULTURE BREAKDOWN returns as we discuss recent rumors that auditors for Skydance have
recommended canceling Kurtzman Trek and resetting the franchise to Star Trek: Enterprise,

Well, it's not the best answer (if they mean the ST:E (2001-2005) TV series, and not "Star Trek: Enterprise" generally).
But it feels like they lack imagination if they mean the latter - there are a lot of ships from the era of ST:TOS, several of which ended up getting toasted, which would probably be worth basing a TV series, or limited series, around. Not every show needs to be set on the Enterprise!
Also, I thought the general perception was that "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" wasn't bad...

we
talk about how Captain American 4 ticket pre-sales are on a par with the disastrous Eternals
movie,

Which I still think isn't as bad as everyone says...

and our movie for the week is a classic that will be new to most of you and you SHOULD
see: The Silent Partner!  Join our panel of pop culture pundits as we break down the highs and
lows of the week!
