On this episode of The Inflection Cut, Halstead and Eric look at Guillermo del Toro's many attempts to get his passion project, an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's novel At the Mountains of Madness, to the big screen. At one point, we were mere inches from a $150 million blockbuster written and directed by Del Toro, produced by James Cameron, and co-starring Tom Cruise! As always, the team tackles the questions that really matter, like:

• What if instead of Kaijus vs. Mecha in 2012, we got Tel Toro, Cameron, and Cruise vs. Cthulhu?
• Was the world ready for a big-budget Hollywood take on Cosmic Horror?
• What film drove the stake through Mountains fo Madness' heart? Was it Prometheus or The Hobbit?

These questions and many more are answered in this month's The Inflection Cut!

On the Season 2 premiere of The Inflection Cut, the team returns to the early aughts WB and DC to look at the big-budget Justice League by the director of Mad Max that was inches from production start when it was cancelled. They also offer a shocking follow-up to the Coyote vs. Acme-focused season finale.

• Were we robbed of supreme Aussie superhero goodness?
• What if the Snyderverse had been the Millerverse?
• Did Christopher Nolan kill this fresh take on DC's mightiest heroes?

These questions and many more are answered in this month's The Inflection Cut!

In a special mystery season finale, the team looks at a film that was actually completed but never released - Coyote vs. Acme. After a smooth production process and very successful test screenings, the film was nevertheless hidden away by Warner Brothers in 2024, never to be seen again.

• Why did WB Discovery refuse to release or sell Coyote vs. Acme?
• Was it wrong place wrong time, or was it MURDER?
• Can the team finally defeat The Inflection Cut's own Thanos?

These questions and many more are answered in this month's The Inflection Cut!
