We've let the news stack up a bit so far this year, so consider this something of a first quarter wrap-up! To no great surprise there's a bit of a Star Wars update, we've also got news on a Dark Tower adaptation that might actually happen, some surprising developments in the Pacific Rim & Cloverfield monster franchises and a whole mess of TV news: Who will helm the new Star Trek show? How will 24 work without Kiefer Sutherland? And how many more seasons of Orange is the New Black are we going to get? Answers to these questions and more on this week's #NOTwatching Podcast!
