Dr. Strange hit theaters last week, and so far it’s going gang busters at the box office. Keith wonders if we’ll ever hit Peak Marvel. Is there a Marvel bubble or do they just have a pretty solid business model? Keith and Elliott discuss.
Next weekend, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them will look to bump off Dr. Strange. During the press junkets, David Yates said Dumbledore will show up in the Fantastic Beats movies, possibly even the second movie. Elliott and Keith put on their casting director hats and wonder who should play the young(er) Dumbledore.

Things have come to a head with Westworld, because there isn’t any source material, so everyone is guessing together. Does it make the viewing experience better or worse?
