THIS IS THE BIG ONE: The end of Earth and much of human-life as we know it, courtesy of the brilliantly charismatic but horribly ill-intentioned Marco Inaros. Directed brilliantly by Thomas Jane himself, this is easily one of the greatest and most important episodes of the series. THE EXPANSE COMMENTARIES by The Bizzle: Books five and six of THE EXPANSE series – “Nemesis Games” and “Babylon's Ashes” – by James S. Corey aka Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham are among, IMO, the greatest written Science Fiction of all-time. While the TV series on Syfy and later — and much better — on Prime video, took a little while to get its legs under it and keep them there, by these final two seasons we are doing all the commentaries for the actors, writers, directors, and all the rest of the crew are mostly hitting on all cylinders to give us both characters and spectacles we'd never forget. ** No intros here, we go right into each episode. Stay for the outros, tho, if you can, where we continue talking about each episode and the series/seasons as a whole and what makes THE EXPANSE in all media so truly excellent. We hope you enjoy these even a fraction as much as I do the series and doing the commentaries especially, and welcome any and all feedback from you Bizzlers out there!

“Is it time?” “It's time. I'm so proud of you.” (I'm not crying you're crying!) Ok screw the intro, STRAIGHT into HAWKEYE s1e1 “Never Meet Your Heroes” Full-Length Commentary by the Biz! It only took over two years from the initial, short-lived rumors which I nevertheless jumped full-body in to with the prediction/demand that the Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop in a Hawkeye show thing HAD TO HAPPEN … and here we are! We did it! I am thrilled beyond compared to be here with you doing these commentaries for something I only dared to hope would actually come through… and it did… and it's great. I do an extended intro for just this first episode, but we are going to do all six episodes and usually I'll just count you right in to the episode on Disney Plus and we'll have a blast watching together. Jesstrodamus got this one right, it was a doozie, and I'm just thrilled the world gets to see the greatness of Renner + Steinfeld that I always saw would be pure gold and clearly MCU chief Kevin Feige did as well, and endless thanks and praise to him for seeing it and making it happen despite a ton of obstacles. This is just beginning, but we gotta start somewhere, so let's get this Pizza Dog Party started, Bizzlers!

(Interview starts at 12:00!) Ohhh yes, folks... this one is the Big Mac: Best-selling and critically-acclaimed sci-fi and fantasy author Arian Tchaikovsky is in fact here on the BizzleCast! An amazing way to launch the podcast side of our 2022 here at BizzleCast 2.0 (more on that later), I was and remain so honored to be able to talk with Adrian for so long and in such depth. Did I mention long? Well, Adrian stayed on for over two hours (!) to talk about not only his own works but a bunch of shared nerdy interests including Dune, Warhammer, D&D and more. This one had to be a miniseries, and while I'll be releasing the full 2+ hour podcast as a single file as well, for the official Part 1 of my discussion with Adrian, we are jumping right into his own leap into science fiction for the first time after many years as a fantasy writer. That first book was, of course, CHILDREN OF TIME which catapulted him into new strata of fame, recognition, and exposure. So, for this Part 1 we are going to start in the period of 2015-16 leading up to the release of CHILDREN and some of the great works he's done since, as well as an extended talk about the weird, wild world of user reviews when it comes to writers, and in truly Bizzle fashion somehow getting some of my own film theory in (1/3 2/3 Split anyone??) as a comparison of where popular art is in 2022 globally. I hope you enjoy this one at least 12% as much as I was thrilled to do it, because that's already a huge amount of fun, insight, and humor from Adrian himself. Thank you Adrian, thank you BizzleCast listeners old and new, and let's have a great 2022 after this very auspicious beginning to it.

LONG: It's crazy to think this classic Bizzle rant ft. the great Simi Climo was waaay back in **AUGUST of 2019** when we first thought Hailee Steinfeld was *CONFIRMED* to be Kate Bishop. While we were forced to suffer for almost a year and a half before getting our first photos of Hailee filming with Jeremy Renner aka Hawkeye in NYC (and she does indeed look SPECTACULAR in the Purple & Black!!!) we finally got her where she belongs — as a major Avenger for the near future and, in this Bizzle's opinion, the future leader of the Avengers taking over from Captain America (more on that in an upcoming podcast with Jason Ritter about Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda aka the Scarlett Witch). But this podcast is mainly a rant about DC Comics and WB about losing out on Haiz big-time as Batgirl (or literally anything), missing out once again on a major young talent who was unsigned to a massive property at the time — and losing to Marvel Studios AGAIN. This is a fun one, glad we finally got our girl!!! (NOTES: Joss Whedon cut for obvious reasons.

Lots of ins and outs and what have yous in this one… and lots of strands in old Bizzle's head. I do a bit of an extended intro bc it's such a crazy episode that ties in so much that's come before and hints at an insane amount of what's to come later… if you want to get straight to the commentary, jump to around 15:00 on the podcast file, but you might want to join me for the intro for a little behind the scenes as well as a little Bizzle self-diagnosis… Scarlett is one of my favorite actors of the last 20 years and so all of this is a bit weird, but I'm thrilled she's such a part of this series even without being in it, it just shows how important and what an impact she made over 10 years in the MCU on and off screen. So, we dedicate this one to Scarjo, and let's get this baby going! Can't wait for episode 6… so many surprises to come I'm sure. #Hawkeye #KateBishop #HaileeSteinfeld #JeremyRenner #Echo #MCU #Marvel Studios #Daredevil #Kingpin More from The Bizzle: Podcast: www.bizzlecast.com Facebook: facebook.com/CassiniCTI Twitch: twitch.tv/thejbizzle7 Twitter: @swlorecast ALL RIGHTS RESERVED by The BizzleCast (Jesse F.

I love these books and have for all my life. I love this movie and am thrilled that so many fans AND non-fans are loving it too. Check out my intro as a BizzleCast quickie in a separate podcast but let's not beat around the bush: this movie is spectacular, nearly flawless, and incredibly loyal to the source material in a way that somehow spoke to and was understood by folks totally new to this property, which is just as extremely high level of an achievement as making a good Dune movie. Buckle up in your thopter, get your shield on and your knife sharpened, and join me for a hell of a ride and a commentary I had a blast doing. You'll be able to hear my giant grin as I talk about literally my favorite thing to talk about: DUNE!

Welcome back, Bizzlers! I know it's been a while since we've had a new guest but we've got a great one today: A fantastically fun (and very skilled) wargaming Twitch streamer from Germany named Bengt aka Hjalfnar of History Gaming Verified (HGV). He wears authentic (and hilarious) helmets from historical wars while he streams and loves engaging in history talk with his growing followers even while he's (virtually) conquering Europe in WW2 in HEARTS OF IRON 4 or the whole world in EUROPA UNIVERSALIS 4. We talk about how he got into strategy gaming (which you know The Bizzle also loves which is why we connected and why I wanted him on the podcast) even while getting married and having kids and now is a streaming partner on Twitch with a great following that's quite active on his Discord as well. I'm hoping this is just the first part of a series of podcasts about gaming – next time we aim to discuss where we think the future of gaming is going both in terms of hardware and software. Enjoy y'all! *INTRO MUSIC BY Ethan Meixsell* *THANKS TO DODGER, ALISON HAISLIP, ALEX ALBRECHT, and SAM “STRIPPIN” FOR THEIR BIZZLE-ING* More from The Bizzle: Podcast: www.bizzlecast.com Movement: www.facebook.com/CassiniCTI Twitch: www.twitch.tv/thejbizzle7 Twitter: @swlorecast & @thebizzle81 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED by The BizzleCast (Jesse F.

One of the most underrated films of the past five years is perhaps the greatest dramatic performance of Ben Affleck as well. THE ACCOUNTANT did reasonably well in the box office, but never got green lit for a sequel despite excellent performances as well by Anna Kendrick and Jon Bernthal — both favorites of the Bizzle and Papa B and both with fantastic chemistry with Affleck. It may be about an accountant who is also a sniper but it's really about mental illness and the effect it has on human relationships. The action, while thrilling and very realistic, is saved for just a few key scenes and perhaps was the reason for its modest box office was Average American wanted more violence. But from our perspective, this is an A+ minimalist perfection film that draws from a number of genres including noir, modern Western, and of course superhero tropes but is far, far more mature, intellectual, and profound than most genre fair. Hope you enjoy! Papa Bizzle and I had a fantastic time doing this one.

This is one of my faves, did it about 2 years ago with by Dad aka Papa Bizzle and he was an amazing wingman as always. I've been connecting THE MATRIX to DUNE for years but I only get a little bit in on this one; look for tons of DUNE content coming soon and THE MATRIX and STAR WARS will both be *HUGE* parts of that. This is my favorite MATRIX movie, come join us to set why. (FULL COMMENTARY STARTS AT 24:30) ** (but listen to my philosophical intro and reasons for loving this movie before that if you can!!) I truly love THE MATRIX RELOADED and I hope my extended philosophical and personal intro and/or the commentary itself helps people enjoy and appreciate this phenomenal and criminally underrated movie — and one that holds up amazingly well IMO — more than they did before!

***This podcast contains *MAJOR BOOK SPOILERS* for Book Two of the Ciri Saga, THE TIME OF CONTEMPT, so I highly recommend you get through at least half of that book (as well as BLOOD OF ELVES first obviously) as I will be putting forth a theory having to do with that book appearing in the upcoming Season Two of "The Witcher" on Netflix and not stopping at the end of BLOOD OF ELVES as is the common assumption -- and has some MAJOR reveals. Be warned and enjoy!**** OK HERE IT IS! Set photos and casting roles continue to bolster the BizzleCast Prediction that Team Witcher is not going to stop at the end of THE BLOOD OF ELVES (Ciri Saga Book 1) for the end of Season Two on Netflix but in fact would ***go deep into Ciri Saga Book 2, THE TIME OF CONTEMPT*** having to do with getting the main bad guys and plot going sooner than later. * music credit to Samuel Kim for his/their amazing cover of Toss a Coin mixed with Geralt's theme.

I feel pretty good about these, you guys let me know what you think. These are not based on any spoilers coming out of the production but simply reading the books tons of times and watching THE WITCHER Season One on Netflix a whole bunch. BE WARNED: These five predictions assume you have either read THE BLOOD OF ELVES which is the first book in the Ciri Saga and the basis of Season Two, OR you are cool with hearing some of the major events of that book. 2ND WARNING: The 5th and final prediction contains potential *MAJOR SPOILERS* for Book Two of the Ciri Saga, THE TIME OF CONTEMPT, so I highly recommend you get through at least half of that book as I will be putting forth a theory having to do with that book appearing in the upcoming Season Two rather than waiting for Season Three and has some MAJOR reveals. Be warned and enjoy! (Originally posted Aug. 2020 so fill in all the updates we know since then! But I still believe all 5 of these shall occur - actually more than I did then with all the new info - can't wait to find out.) *AMAZING COMPOSITION FOR THE WITCHER SERIES BY THE AWESOME SONYA BELOUSOVA* *THANKS TO DODGER, ALISON HAISLIP, ALEX ALBRECHT, and SAM “STRIPPIN” FOR THEIR BIZZLE-ING* ALL RIGHTS RESERVED by The BizzleCast (Jesse F.

Yes we know it's been a few weeks but after the mindblowing politically radical ending to THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER we just had to re-release our WANDAVISION Party Spectacular. Coming later this week, an extended NEW intro discussion with Jason Jimbo Ritter about these two fantastic shows we've gotten already from the MCU on Disney Plus and more great stuff to come with LOKI, HAWKEYE, and more!

A BizzleCast Politique - FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER was far more radical politically than anyone saw coming. Marvel Studios talking as radical as Malcom X? Believe it.
Because we fans of THE WITCHER have already learned to reconcile differences and/or contradictions between Book Lore and Video Game Lore (and really it doesn't bother us much at all), the fight over what's "Canon" and what's not -- see: STAR WARS Canon vs. Legends/EU etc. -- hasn't been much of an issue with the TV series on Netflix and is really liberating to Lauren Hissrich and the filmmakers there. Here's a quick summation of how this fortunate set of circumstances came to be by yours truly, The Bizzle.

Hey guys - I actually have a BizzleCast for you! As I prepare for the release of my book and BizzleCast 2.0 which will involve interviews, videocasts, audiobooks, deep-dive podcast miniseries on science, politices, and more — I’m thrilled to bring you a video games podcast with my good old buddy and ORIGINAL BizzleCast Senior Contributor Adam Tuck. GAME AWARDS 2020 have a fantastic slate of nominees, and we run through them as far as we can in the limited time we have. But ultimately it comes down to HADES and THE LAST OF US PART 2, two extremely different games from two extremely different companies. Who will come out on top? How did ANIMAL CROSSING cause such a worldwide sensation? And much more... enjoy, Bizzlers!
HEY WITCHERS AND ENCHANTRESSES! Sooo….. way back at the end of August, I made five big predictions for what I thought both should and would happen during Season Two of THE WITCHER on Netflix, and I capped them off with a doozy in my fifth and final prediction which came with a mountain of spoiler warnings - which I will repeat here. These predictions and especially the fifth and final biggie which I am re-releasing here were and are based purely on having read the books so many times, knowing and internalizing all the material, and having a very strong sense of what show runner Lauren Hissrich and all of Team Witcher at Netflix have done and wanted to continue to do with the series. And NOW we have ***set photos*** basically proving my fifth and final prediction to be totally on point, which in a non-spoiler short version is simply that for many reasons which you shall hear if you listen, that Team Witcher was not going to stop at the end of THE BLOOD OF ELVES (Ciri Saga Book 1) for the end of Season Two on Netflix but in fact would ***go deep into Ciri Saga Book 2, THE TIME OF CONTEMPT*** having to do with getting the main bad guys and plot going sooner than later. I have also attached the link to the photos and coverage of the photos by the amazing Rednanian Intelligence website that has been covering the crap out of The Netflix production since before I even was myself, but without further ado, here is the link to The Bizzie’s Very Big Witcher Prediction but first MAJOR SPOILER WARNING: ***This podcast contains *MAJOR SPOILERS* for Book Two of the Ciri Saga, THE TIME OF CONTEMPT, so I highly recommend you get through at least half of that book as I will be putting forth a theory having to do with that book appearing in the upcoming Season Two rather than waiting for Season Three and has some MAJOR reveals.

Luckily, I have awesome friends and colleagues coming on to talk about it, and it’s fitting that Alaisdair from Novastream Network is the first, as you’ll hear in a podcast that I think holds up great and Alaisdair has some great insights that are even truer today.

***Dedicated to the immortal Chadwick Boseman*** A Love Letter To Africa: THE BLACK PANTHER shines so brilliantly that its few flaws are clear to see while simultaneously being rendered irrelevant by its glorious vision. I have a long, love-filled relationship with Africa both personally and at one time professionally in the African music business, and it still brings tears of pure joy to this Bizzle’s eyes to watch the world witness and embrace it through this great film by Ryan Coogler. Flawless casting, kinetic action, and Oscar-level drama at all the right points — I’m absolutely thrilled and honored to be able to do this. Blessings, fam, and thank you. #ReverseHeartOfDarkness *MUSIC BY THE AMAZING LUDWIG GORRANSON* ALL RIGHTS RESERVED by The BizzleCast (Jesse F. Brenner) (2020)
I feel pretty good about these, you guys let me know what you think. These are not based on any spoilers coming out of the production but simply reading the books tons of times and watching THE WITCHER Season One on Netflix a whole bunch. BE WARNED: These five predictions assume you have either read THE BLOOD OF ELVES which is the first book in the Ciri Saga and the basis of Season Two, OR you are cool with hearing some of the major events of that book. 2ND WARNING: The 5th and final prediction contains potential *MAJOR SPOILERS* for Book Two of the Ciri Saga, THE TIME OF CONTEMPT, so I highly recommend you get through at least half of that book as I will be putting forth a theory having to do with that book appearing in the upcoming Season Two rather than waiting for Season Three and has some MAJOR reveals. Be warned and enjoy! *AMAZING COMPOSITION FOR THE WITCHER SERIES BY THE AWESOME SONYA BELOUSOVA* *THANKS TO DODGER, ALISON HAISLIP, ALEX ALBRECHT, and SAM “STRIPPIN” FOR THEIR BIZZLE-ING* ALL RIGHTS RESERVED by The BizzleCast (Jesse F.

DC Fandome aka Comic-Con was a MASSIVE success, and DC Comics superfan Alaisdair Leith from Australia’s Novastream and his brand Leithal Live is here to break down the two phenomenal looking video games, GOTHAM KNIGHTS (we got Barbara Gordon!!) and SUICIDE SQUAD: KILL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE. Other video games on the docket are ASSASSIN’S CREED ODYSSEY which we are *obsessed* with as well as THE WITCHER 3 and THE WITCHER series, ANIMAL CROSSING, STARDEW VALLEY, all the amazing PS4 Exclusives, and thoughts about the next generation of consoles. So great to have him back, join us to nerd out on the best video games of this past few years and some DC talk as always.

DC Fandome aka Comic-Con 2020: THE BATMAN Exclusive with Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves! And then a mind-blowing first trailer... What can you say - the brilliant, sensitive, eccentric, electric young actor who will probably end up being the best, longest serving, and/or most definitive Bruce Wayne/Batman in Robert Pattinson; followed by a phenomenally thoughtful, insightful, and engaging look into the making of THE BATMAN series with genius director Matt Reeves with an assist from the lovely and super cool Aisha Tyler. This is a MUST WATCH, and following (what we thought was) a spectacular first trailer for THE BATMAN, Jason "Jimbo" Ritter and I do a quick wrap-up of a mostly very successful day for DC Comics on film.
WONDER WOMAN is back with the incredible Gal Gadot! THE BATMAN already shaping up spectacularly with Robert "Battinson" and Zoe Kravitz leading the way. Time to cast yourselves back to the *last* great Batman movie (sorry BvS fans just our opinions) that was rated great at the time but seems to have aged not so well among super fans, especially after Joss Whedon's Avengers took the world by storm mere months before THE DARK KNIGHT RISES was released in the summer of 2012. It’s a huge week for Batman and DC fans with DC Comic-Con this Saturday! Here’s a little 5-course appetizer to whet your appetite, loyal BizzleCasters. Despite it’s problems - and there are problems and we will discuss them and determine if they are "game-breaking" (spoiler alert: we love this movie so not a whole not a lot of big mega cheese fries full of problems). We LOVE this movie, and you’ll see why (spoiler alert: the cast is one of the greatest ever assembled and every one of them put in 110% or more to try and make an inconsistent script as great as could be). *MUSIC BY THE LEGENDARY JOHN WILLIAMS* *MUSIC FROM “THE BATMAN” BY MICHAEL GIACCHINO* *THANKS TO DODGER, ALISON HAISLIP, ALEX ALBRECHT, and SAM “STRIPPIN” FOR THEIR BIZZLE-ING* ALL RIGHTS RESERVED by The BizzleCast (Jesse F.

It’s the 5th Anniversary of The BizzleCast, folks! And I’m thrilled to be talking my current favorite obsession on screen and the page — no, not THE WITCHER — but indeed THE EXPANSE with my good buddy and BizzleCast contributor Adam Dietz. The main characters, the setup of the story and the near future Sol System situation, the tech, the conflicts, the early adventures, the broad political and social themes, and so much more. THE EXPANSE show and even more so books are so so fantastic, fun, thought provoking and much more. This is one of my favorite conversations in a while on the podcast, so I’m thrilled to launch my 5th Anniversary with this bad boy. And even more great news — we also recorded two more podcasts about STAR WARS and another about Dietz’s new album, his life as a musician, the ups and downs of the artistic process, and even delve into our journeys and struggles with mental health and its relation to being an artist or just a creative and free thinker, so look for those in the coming days and weeks right here on The BizzleCast!
