On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, it has been some time since we have had a normal episode, and what a better return than to cover the biggest block-buster (see what we did there) of April: A MINECRAFT MOVIE! Who thought making a movie about building blocks was a good idea? Warner Brothers and Mojang Studios, that's who! We debate this and other unlikely movie ideas, as well as our spoiler-free review of Minecraft and if it will play for today's audiences.

Also on this week's podcast: CinemaCon drops numerous big news items like Keanu returning for John Wick 5, YouTube cracks down on fake movie trailers, Coyote vs ACME has been saved by Ketchup Entertainment, theatrical windows are making a comeback, build Jason Statham's next movie, plus a slew of recommendations on Whatcha Been Watchin! It's a packed episode, so listen to the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast below or on your favorite app now!
