I know it's not really a podcast. But what can I do? For some reason c/AudioDrama does not exist. The summary comes from metacritic.com and it's all I know...

    The average superhero movie has very shitty dialog and an asinine plot. With an audio drama there is no CGI eye candy to make things palatable. If the showrunners don't understand that - the series will be awful. If they make a 1950s-style audio drama with plots that are worth paying attention to and the dialog is good - it might be good if not great.

      If we’re lucky they’ll reuse old radio dramas from back in the day

        It would be beyond fantastic if they bought the rights to those (which must cost nearly nothing) and they updated them for the present day I'd seriously love that.
