ROBSERVATIONS host, Robert Meyer Burnett, explains how storytelling works and the importance of setting - and sticking to - consistent rules that help define the world in which your story takes place. Rob reviews this article in Polygon ( https://thepgs.co/3KJG138), which celebrates modern Star Trek's abandonment of 50 years' worth of established structure in favor of putting the individual feelings of characters before the verisimilitude of the Star Fleet organization that serves as the main framing device for all Star Trek stories.
By abandoning the very structure that defines 50 years' worth of stories, the writers of modern Star Trek are on the verge of breaking the backbone of the franchise itself.

ROBSERVATIONS host Robert Meyer Burnett reads an article about the nature of science fiction and how it differs from other forms of fiction.
ROBSERVATIONS host Robert Meyer Burnett shares an article written by Emma Garland in Esquire Magazine positing that Matt Reeve's new Batman feature may finally force Marvel Studios to change its formulaic approach to manufacturing superhero movies (https://thepgs.co/3KWUcCR).
According to Ms. Garland, "audiences are becoming bored - and more openly critical - of Marvel monoculture."
It's safe to say that Rob does not agree and lays out his case - based on widely available evidence and fact, not supposition, that what Marvel Studios has accomplished with the MCU is outstanding by design and not accidental. "MCU films are four-quadrant entertainment made for mass appeal," explains Burnett. The consistent high-quality production values, prestige casting choices, and attention to character stories and development sets the entire catalog of films apart from anything else ever produced in the history of the motion picture industry.

Writer-director-producer, Robert Meyer Burnett, and his guest, Rrr Mmmm, talk about their mutual disappointment in 'The Book of Boba Fett' which streamed on Disney+. Rob goes as far to say that 'The Book of Boba Fett' could possibly be the most damaging thing EVER done to the Star Wars franchise.
And that includes the Holiday Special. No. Really.
What's wrong with 'The Book of Boba Fett' is, in a sense, what's wrong with the way corporate interests are managing (or mismanaging) long-established franchises.

A long discussion about whether or not the current MCU iteration of Spider-Man is true to the character...and does this has a larger meaning outside the MCU?

(ROBSERVATIONS Replay Episode #045 - Part 1 • Originally streamed on February 19, 2019)
ROBSERVATIONS host Robert Meyer Burnett talks about how the major trade magazines and websites have all weighed in on Zack Snyder’s Justice League (a.k.a. The Snyder Cut) and yet many of them have not seen it. The responses have been divisive - with some fawning over the production and others strongly reacting against it.
Why is that? Rob takes a closer look through the eyes of an “Imagination Connoisseur.”
Programming Note: RMB will watch the show when it debuts on Wednesday night and will then stream a “first reaction” video at 3:00 am (PDT), early Thursday morning. Stay tuned to The Burnettwork website and social media for more information.
Rob also shares letters and reviews from fans of the show as well as answers questions posed by the folks participating in the show through its livestream chat.

Writer-producer-director, Robert Meyer Burnett, is looking forward to the premier of Zack Snyder’s 4-hour cut of JUSTICE LEAGUE.

ROBSERVATIONS host, Robert Meyer Burnett, takes a closer look at the Snyder Cut and how it’s affecting HBO Max’s business. Will the realizing of Zack Snyder’s vision of the DCEU drive enough subscriptions to HBO Max to justify the estimated $70 million production budget?
Reviewing this article from Deadline (https://deadline.com/2021/03/hbo-max-warnermedia-streaming-jason-kilar-1234713108/), RMB opines on the business rationale behind the decision - and even breaks into a less-than-satisfying Lionel Ritchie impression, but that’s another story for another day - and how event programming like the Snyder Cut works with the upcoming ad-supported tier of HBO which should roll out this summer.
RMB also responds to letters from fellow Imagination Connoisseurs and answers questions from fans in the livestream chat.

(ROBSERVATIONS Episode #013 • Originally streamed on January 3, 2019)
Writer-producer-director Robert Meyer Burnett reviews the results of the recently-concluded, Disney shareholders’ meeting. Touching on plans for rides, theme park re-openings and more, RMB elaborates on comments made about Star Wars honcho, Kathleen Kennedy and the growth of the streaming service, Disney+, largely due to the popularity of The Mandalorian series.
The meeting also saw the final farewell offered to Chairman Emeritus Bob Iger and recognition of the success the company has enjoyed thanks to Iger’s commitment to launching and building Disney+. Disney share prices closed at pre-pandemic high levels following the meeting.
RMB also takes a deep dive into articles about WandaVision and explains how the series may be worth a re-watch - not from the perspective of a fan expecting blockbuster revelations and crises similar to what we’ve seen in the movie theater, but rather for what it is: an in-depth study of one person’s struggle with loss and grief.
RMB also shares letters from fellow Imagination Connoisseurs of the Post-Geek Singularity and answers questions from fans in the livestream chat.

ROBSERVATIONS host, Robert Meyer Burnett, takes a closer look at how modern movies celebrate a “heroic” version of beauty that may be unattainable and yet, at the same time, seem to desexualize those very characters in a way that seems contradictory to human behavior. Is this good or so unreal as to be unbelievable?
RMB also shares more viewer mail reacting to the conclusion of the WandaVision series on DisneyPlus (both what didn’t seem to work and, for one Imagination Connoisseur, what worked very well). And we all remember the late, great John Schnepp thanks to memories shared by a fan.
All that, plus responses to comments offered by fans in the livestream chat through SuperChats and Tips - on today’s ROBSERVATIONS.

The last episode of WandaVision dropped on Disney+ on Friday, March 5, and the Post-Geek Singularity was all a-twitter with reactions - both good and bad - to what they saw and how they felt. ROBSERVATIONS host, Robert Meyer Burnett, was no different.
On this show, Rob takes a closer look at the expectations for WandaVision and why so many fans were disappointed - and whether they had a right to be or not. Plus RMB reads letters from fans who express their concern for what they saw as either a lack of focus near the end of the series or, in one case, blatant trolling of fans.
Fan engagement on the show was higher than anything Rob says he's seen in recent memory - and that's exciting for the entertainment business (if not a little bit scary).

I finally go on the record about all things AXANAR!
Before participating in this conversation, I invite everyone to watch the Fan Film PRELUDE TO After resigning from the failed, Star Trek fan film, AXANAR, writer-producer-director, Robert Meyer Burnett has remained fairly silent about his experience with the production and the lawsuit that erupted in 2017 around alleged copyright violations from Star Trek's owners, CBS Studios and Paramount Pictures. Rob finally breaks his silence in this video.
You can watch PRELUDE TO AXANAR here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W1_8IV8uhA

Writer-producer-director Robert Meyer Burnett touches on a number of cultural news items. From Dr. Seuss’s “cancellation” (more like self-curation) to decisions made by entertainment studios to accelerate their downsizing of physical media/home video divisions - RMB has an opinion or two (or more).
The headline stories in today’s show focus on Disney’s recent announcement that they plan on shortening the theatrical “windows” for their feature films (to be shown in movie theaters across the country) and a Princeton University scholar decries the manufactured controversy around “white math” and racial bias claims about mathematics (and, more specifically, math instruction).
Rob also shares and discusses letters from fellow Imagination Connoisseurs and answers questions sent in by fans in the livestream chat.

Writer-producer-director, Robert Meyer Burnett, takes some time out of his holidays to talk about BIRDBOX, which just streamed on Netflix. And while the premise of the film is interesting and Sandra Bullock and John Malkevich brought plenty of star power, the third act didn’t actually bring viewers to a conclusion. RMB breaks down sci-fi storytelling and explains how this can be a major failing for genre films.
Our fearless host also takes a closer look at the upcoming season of “Black Mirror” on Netflix and, more specifically, on the interactive movie to be offered on the streamer … BANDERSNATCH. RMB speculates on what might be done and then takes questions from fans in the livestream chat.

ROBSERVATIONS host, Robert Meyer Burnett, shares the latest news in the entertainment business about the upcoming “Snyder Cut” version of JUSTICE LEAGUE which is set to make its debut on HBO Max in about two weeks. According to sources familiar with the project, Snyder’s version of the movie ands on a big cliffhanger moment which was intended to be wrapped up at the beginning of the movie’s sequel.
That sequel will never be made.
RMB discusses the problems Snyder faced with the studio and how typical that level of interference is when it comes to making movies. RMB also discusses the fate of the DC cinematic universe and compares a variety of legendary DC films (like SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE) to what he’s expecting to see with JUSTICE LEAGUE.

Writer-producer-director Robert Meyer Burnett rails against cancel culture in this episode of ROBSERVATIONS. Why aren’t people more forgiving of others and what lies behind prejudices and the emerging cancel culture trend?
RMB then takes a deep dive into the “cancellation” of Dr. Suess by a Virginia School System who dropped the deceased author’s work from the state’s “Read Across America Day” program. (http://bit.ly/3r5IoEr) Is this political correctness run amok? Are we going to get rid of our cultural history because so much of our art and literature reflects a cultural bias? RMB advocates that we “own” our past cultural biases rather than try to erase the artwork, literature and other cultural works that may (or may not) reflect those biases.
The takeaway … “We need to be better. If you are hurt by these things so badly, the problem is YOUR problem, not ours.” RMB makes the point that an imperfect people came from an imperfect history. Instead of tearing things down, let’s try to build something new and better.
He also shares letters from fellow Imagination Connoisseurs and answers questions from fans in the livestream chat.

Writer-director-producer Robert Meyer Burnett reacts to the outcry by some fans that the MCU’s CAPTAIN MARVEL movie is Hollywood bending to the will of fans and social media influencers insisting on a female-led superhero movie. “As fans, we should hope for a great script and a great story,” explains RMB. He explains that the fact superheroes will be depicted as men and women from a variety of races in an inevitability - and we should all be okay with that.
What we need, Burnett continues, is an educated population when it comes to nearly 10,000 years of art and literature. “We can’t something that was created a thousand years ago is now bad because of the way we view things today.”

Writer-producer-director Robert Meyer Burnett walks his fellow Imagination Connoisseurs through the state of the entertainment industry and specifically how deals with creators written up and agreed to in the 1980s and 90s are woefully out of touch with the existence of the streaming video market as it exists today. Case in point: Bill Nye (the Science Guy) and his recent lawsuit against Disney - who refuses to pay Nye residual payments for streams of his content outside of the current agreement for home video sales (which are almost non-existent with the “death” of physical media). What can be done? RMB talks about alternatives.
RMB also discusses the current state of Star Trek as it was explained on a recent investors call with Paramount shareholders. What does the newly announced “Star Trek: Prodigy” mean for the future of the franchise? Rob isn’t pleased and makes his case as to why Star Trek is quickly becoming something other than “Star Trek.”
Plus, RMB shares letters and commentary from fellow Imagination Connoisseurs and answers questions from fans in the livestream chat.

Rob also shares letters and his personal insights into the issues identified in them - ranging from how he hopes Imagination Connoisseurs handle differences within the Post-Geek Singularity to why he feels so strongly that fans reassess their views on Kathleen Kennedy and the job she’s done with the Star Wars franchise.
And then there’s Airport ’79: THE CONCORDE …

ROBSERVATIONS host Robert Meyer Burnett shares an article from Vanity Fair detailing the long road Zack Snyder took to re-claim, re-cut and re-launch his vision of DC's Justice League with what is now called "The Snyder Cut." RMB editorializes throughout the segment, providing additional insight into how a movie director reviews and re-cuts projects while they are in-work and when the work on that director's computer might be considered a "finished cut" worth screening ... or not.
But the story of "The Snyder Cut" of JUSTICE LEAGUE is more than just a trail of tears through the movie business and studio politics, it also includes personal tragedy. That's why when HBO Max streams the 4-hour project, it's helpful for viewers to understand the connection between what they're watching and suicide prevention efforts supported by Snyder and his wife.
RMB also shares letters from fellow Imagination Connoisseurs and answers questions from fans following along in the livestream chat.

More and more film directors are re-cutting previous work to give their stories room to "breathe" - and one of the most successful at this has been Francis Ford Coppola. ROBSERVATIONS host, writer-director-producer Robert Meyer Burnett, talks how Coppola's re-cutting of films like APOCALYPSE NOW, COTTON CLUB ENCORE (with new music) and now GODFATHER III (known as THE GODFATHER CODA - The Death of Michael Corleone) is making these films worth watching again.

Moore tells why, in his opinion, Star Trek may not be a good fit for the cinematic format.

(ROBSERVATIONS Episode #624 • Originally streamed on February 18, 2021)
Writer-producer-director, Robert Meyer Burnett shares information about the global release of the latest Christopher Nolan film, TENET. The film's global release is seen by many as a test of the world's appetite for going back to movie theaters in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although the film has generated over $200M in box office worldwide, that's far short of the kind of numbers it needs to do to be considered financially successful. But is that a result of the public health crisis or some genuine disagreement about the quality of the film, itself? RMB has an opinion, of course, and asks his fellow Imagination Connoisseurs to write in with their thoughts, too.
Rob then reads and discusses recently received emails from fans and answers questions from those participating in the livestream chat.

Writer-director-producer, Robert Meyer Burnett, loves the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and has from the time he saw Ironman in the theater. RMB takes a closer look at the MCU and what makes it work so well from the visionary leadership of Kevin Feige to the way these filmmakers draw on original source material and the best stories told in Marvel Comics over the last sixty years.
The Infinity Saga includes twenty-three films - with an average box office of $1B (an astounding feat) - is a unique blend of structured discipline and individual creativity. Each filmmaker involved in contributing to the saga has been able to make their own mark both stylistically and narratively. But even given the fact that each film is able to find its own "voice," they all work together to tell a larger story.
Rob also addresses questions and theories posed by other Imagination Connoisseurs through their letters and then goes on to answer questions from fans in the livestream chat. It's all part of a rollicking ROBSERVATIONS episode well worth the 90 minutes.

As it turns out, after over eleven months on the Variety website with no questions or complaints, the publication's editors responded to Mulligan's complaint by posting an apology at the top of the article, effectively disclaimed the review and throwing the reviewer "under the bus." Is this a case of two wrongs making a right?
RMB doesn't think so and explains why both the reviewer and the publication were wrong.
In addition, Rob responds to letters from fellow Imagination Connoisseurs and questions from fans in the livestream chat during the show.
