Happy Thursday, folks! March is here, and we're excited to continue talking about the biggest stories in film and television. Hosts Donovan and Greg are just about ready to go, so prepare yourself for the latest episode of Shacknews Presents: Pop! Goes the Culture!

Episode 56 of Pop! Goes the Culture! will go live on the Shacknews Twitch Channel today at 1 p.m. PT/4 p.m. ET. You can also watch the stream right here on our website using the embed below.

Here’s a rundown of some of the news topics featured on today’s Pop! Goes the Culture!:

• John DiMaggio is back as Bender in Futurama revival
• AMC is charging more $ for tickets to see The Batman
  
• Major Hollywood studios pull their movies from Russia
• The search for an actress to play Madonna is intense
• $330k worth of equipment stolen from Netflix’s Lupin set in Paris

It was just weeks ago that we talked about John DiMaggio not returning for the Futurama revival after some unsucessful contract negotiations. Now, it looks like those issues have been resolved. We'll also chat about AMC's decision to increase prices for tickets to go see The Batman.
