Summary

Welcome to the inaugural episode of our weekly roundtable episode, X-Ray Group Chat! Every week, Jason and Rosie will be joined by a rotating panel of producers and guests to discuss the things we’re most excited about in geek culture.

This week, Jason and Rosie are first joined by Joelle and Carmen to check-in on Alien: Earth now that we’re halfway through this excellent first season. Then Joelle breaks down a recent article in The Wrap about how Disney’s streaming strategy has hurt its biggest brands like Marvel and Star War. Then Ian joins to gush about the first episode of Peacemaker season two, and speculate where this show goes in a post-Superman world.
