| 0:04.4 | and one of the more dynamic divisions of the Walt Disney Company, which is, of course, |
| 0:08.8 | Marvel Entertainment. This is Entertainment writer Jim Hill, and the amazing Aaron Adams and I |
| 0:15.6 | are recording this week's episode on Thursday, October 13th, 2022. Now, Aaron, this is six days |

| 1:46.5 | schedule, Bessim will no longer be moving forward as the director of Blade, but will remain as an |
