In the fourth episode of IMDbrief season 1, host Tim Kash tackles the seven most burning questions surrounding some of the most highly-anticipated films coming out of San Diego Comic-Con 2018.

Kicking it off with "Venom", Kash reveals whether or not the film's ratings hint at a darker take on the character, and if the lack of Spider-Man in the trailer means the web-slinger won't be making an appearance in the film.

Next up is "Aquaman", which Kash examines for its potential to be DC's biggest film yet, despite the controversy surrounding its director and the franchise's past shortcomings. He also addresses whether or not the film will live up to the hype of its visually stunning trailer.

Kash then moves on to "It: Chapter Two", diving into the film's casting choices and how the sequel will differ from the first installment. He also questions whether or not the sequel will be as successful as the first film, considering the original's box office record-breaking success.

The episode continues with a discussion on "Shazam!" and its tonal shift towards a more light-hearted superhero film in contrast to the darker tone of the DC universe. Kash also weighs in on whether or not the film will be a box office success, despite the potential for its new approach to alienate some fans.

Kash then explores the possibility of "Glass" being a perfect blend of M. Night Shyamalan's best work, combining "Unbreakable" and "Split" into a cohesive story. He also analyzes the potential for this film to be both critically acclaimed and a box office success.

Next, the episode examines "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" for its potential to reconnect with audiences after a lackluster response to the first film. Kash dissects the film's controversial casting choices and questions whether or not the new installment will live up to the magic and wonder of the "Harry Potter" franchise.

Finally, Kash concludes with "Godzilla: King of Monsters" and whether or not the film's jam-packed roster of monsters will be too much for audiences to handle. He also analyzes the potential for the film to launch a successful "Monster-Verse" franchise, similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Overall, this episode of IMDbrief season 1 is a must-watch for any fan curious about the biggest questions surrounding these highly-anticipated films, and for those who want to know what to expect come release day.
