On this latest episode of Adjust Your Tracking, Joe von Appen and Erik McClanahan can't help but open with some ranty feelings on Batman v Superman.

Batman v Superman // The Screening Room
An episode in two parts. On the first segment, I'm joined by Managing Editor Kevin Jagernauth to talk about "Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice" after its strong opening weekend debut at the box office. In the second segment, Editor-in-Chief Rodrigo Perez joins me to talk about The Screening Room, Sean Parker's proposed day-and-date streaming service that would allow people to rent new movies (big and small) for a premium price, bypassing the theater altogether. It's a bold move, and perhaps an inevitable reality down the road, but is the thing that will truly alter the film distribution and exhibition worlds? Check out the podcast to find out what we think.

Over/Under Movies #44: Watchmen // Dredd
Over/Under Movies is back with our first episode under The Playlist podcast banner. On every show our film critics talk about one overrated and one underrated film within the same genre, style, or tone. This week sees Ryan pitting two R-rated comic book adaptations against each other, with Watchmen (2009) taking the over and Dredd (2012) our underrated pick.

AYT #125: 10 Cloverfield Lane // Creative Control
On this latest episode of Adjust Your Tracking (a new addition to The Playlist Podcast Network), Joe and Erik discuss two new low budget sci-fi movies in Creative Control and 10 Cloverfield Lane. We look mainly at how the marketing and budget differences between the two pictures reveals how much franchising and branding are leading the larger movie, with its would-be connections to 2008's Cloverfield (perhaps to its detriment), while the smaller movie, Creative Control, is another feather in the cap of new big player in town, Amazon Studios. But there's plenty of other topics and films we touch on as per usual, especially the great British sci-fi show Black Mirror, which Netflix purchased and will release new episodes soon (we hope).
