FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is Warp Brief?
Warp Brief is a weekly sci-fi news show that runs sixty seconds. Each episode covers new science fiction movies (Screen), series (Stream), comics (Ink) and books (Pages), then names the one release to watch for next (Next Jump).
When do new episodes come out?
A new episode comes out every Wednesday at noon Eastern on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. It appears on the Episodes page here as soon as it is published, with the show notes and sources.
Why Wednesday?
New books usually come out on Tuesday and new comics on Wednesday, so a Wednesday episode catches both and still lands ahead of the Friday movie and streaming releases.
Who hosts Warp Brief?
Ezra Kane, an AI-generated host. His face, voice and photos are synthetic. The release dates, news and sources are real and checked before every episode, and rumors are labeled as rumors.
Is Warp Brief affiliated with any studio or publisher?
