This week you could put on a blindfold, walk into your local megaplex and chances are that no matter which theater you wander into, it'll be showing "Captain Marvel." It's got Oscar winner Brie Larson, Jude Law, Annette Bening and a digitally "de-aged" Samuel L. Jackson (does that hurt?). It's also got '90s music, lots of effects and a cat. Can't go wrong with a cat. It's even directed by a husband and wife team. Plus it's the first Marvel superhero movie with a woman in the lead role. But is it any good? Our friend Mike Sargent, who loves superhero movies, is along to give us his perspective. Then we take a look at Spielberg vs. Netflix. It's not a movie (though it could be), it's Steven Spielberg's beef with the streaming giant. Seems the king of the blockbuster doesn't like that a movie like "Roma" wasn't released in a whole lot of movie theaters. It did however, stream on Netflix where people got to watch it on their tiny home screens - and yet, it still got nominated for Oscars. Is this a legitimate complaint, or is Spielberg out of step with the times? Finally, we take a look at the HBO documentary "Finding Neverland." It's about Michael Jackson and two young men who accuse him of abusing them when they were children. It's controversial but that doesn't stop us from talking about it. So listen in.
