Quote:In Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K., the megalomaniacal supervillain M.O.D.O.K. (Patton Oswalt) has long pursued his dream of one day conquering the world. But after years of setbacks and failures fighting the Earth’s mightiest heroes, M.O.D.O.K. has run his evil organization A.I.M. into the ground. Ousted as A.I.M.’s leader, while also dealing with his crumbling marriage and family life, the Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing is set to confront his greatest challenge yet!

Written by Ta-Nehisi Coates (Pulitzer finalist/National Book Award-winning nonfiction writer, has written Black Panther and Captain America for Marvel). Produced by JJ Abrams.

Michael B. Jordan has been vocal about wanting the role for several years (and has even met w/ WB about it in the past), so he seems quite possible. Regardless, Coates writing and that angle is quite a place to start.

Six-episode miniseries on the history of late night. It was announced over a year ago, and the original plan I believe was to air it last summer. But CNN decided to shelve it along with other original programming they had banked so that the 2020 election wouldn't be limited to a mere 99% of the oxygen. Well, Bill Carter is sure making it sound like the wait is, finally, almost over.

I don't think I am alone here in being a junkie for the late night mythos. I'm not expecting the level of juicy, sordid detail the subject warrants, but with Carter involved and a 4-5 hour canvas, it should be better than a puff piece. The idea of an accompanying podcast sounds great, too.
