Episode 293. Top questions this week: If "space opera" is a narrative genre, are there also "land operas?" Can you really taste subtle notes of oak in that wine, or are you just making that up? Will the four Beatles movies have four popcorn buckets that combine to make one big bucket? Why aren't there any original, non-franchise superhero stories on film? We also discuss Marvel's five-hour livestream of chairs, if the fight to save Coyote vs. Acme will give it a box office bump, trailers for One Battle After Another and Tron: Ares, the new Spider-Man trilogy, the crime thriller Prisoners, and the biggest Paul Bettany you've ever seen.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_G7Qt_VkNM" title="Click here to watch a video of this episode.">Click here to watch a video of this episode.</a>
