This week Adam was joined by his partner Rose, as Ian is off in South Africa being hunted by Cape Buffalo. We chatted about the new American Gods trailer, Iron Fist’s poor early reviews, Legion’s season 2 renewal and the rumours of a Matrix reboot. Adam also got the episode title wrong a few times.

Screentime – Logan

This week we talk about Logan, Hugh Jackman’s final Wolverine film. Listen as Adam fails to make a point for a long time, before we get to your comments. We go into spoilers, so if you haven’t seen it, skip from 24:45-46:24!

The Lost Lighthouse: The Weekly Rapture 49 – Professionals

Posted on October 23, 2015 by thelostlighthouse in Podcast and tagged D&Diesel, Die Hard, films, FOX, Geek and Sundry, Hellfire, Legion, movies, podcast, prequel, prequels, Sci-Fi, The Lost Lighthouse, TLL, tllpodcast, Y: The Last Man.

Welcome back to The Weekly Rapture, brought to you by The Lost Lighthouse.

This week we chatted about FOX’s new X-Men TV shows Hellfire and Legion, the possibility of a Y: The Last Man show and D&Diesel, while Gary’s brain melts down and Adam just starts to do his job for him.

The main talking point, inspired by John Walters and the talk of the next Die Hard film being an origin story/prequel/preboot/whatever, was unnecessary prequels! We discuss why the movie industry seems obsessed with churning them out when they’re out of ideas, some of the worst offenders and some of your least favourite prequels too!
