Today we're headed back in the time machine to before the pandemic when everyone but us read this one m/m hockey book and lost their collective minds! Heated Rivalry is one of those books that romance lovers place high up on their keeper shelf, and we're talking about why, about how it really knocks sports romance out of the park (yes, we're aware that there is no knocking out of parks in hockey), and how it might be one of the books that launched a thousand hockey ships. We're talking about erotica vs. erotic romance vs. romance, about sexy secrets, about first names and about why it's always sexy when people say "I love you" in a foreign language.

Geregisseerd door Guy Ritchie en gebaseerd op een waargebeurd verhaal, over een groep rare soldaten die het de Nazi's moeilijk maakte tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Doet inderdaad denken aan Inglourious Bastards: filmisch niet zo goed, maar wel erg vermakelijk.Docu: The Diamond Heist op Netflix. Een driedelige documentaire over een gigantische diamantroof in de Millennium Dome in Londen, in 2000. Ik had er nooit van gehoord. Geen doorsnee docu: hij is geproduceerd door Guy Ritchie en het kijkt als een van zijn films. Je ziet hoe een gewaagde diamantroof wordt voorbereid door een groep bizar stereotype Londonse gangsters. Er zijn twists en wow-momenten en zeker als je nog niks van deze roof weet, moet je er vooral niks over opzoeken tot je de docu uit hebt.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Alan Ritchson is best known for playing Jack Reacher, an ex-military nomad who negotiates suspicious and dangerous situations. But in his new film, “Ordinary Angels,” Alan plays a father whose brawn is of little use in the face of his young daughter's illness. Last year, the actor joined Tom Power to talk about playing a dad desperate to save his child, what it's like to do a scene with an Oscar winner when you can tell she's not sure about you, and why he wrote a letter to Tom Cruise when he booked “Reacher.”

Am 27. März wurde das Finale der dritten Staffel der Actionserie Reacher auf Amazon Prime Video ausgestrahlt. Darin schlägt sich der Zwei-Meter-Hüne (Alan Ritchson) mit einem vermeintlichen Teppichhändler und seinen Schergen umher, in dem er dieses Mal undercover auf Mission geht. Doch wie schon in den Staffeln zuvor überrascht das actionreiche Drama mit klugen Wendungen und humorigen Szenen neben den gut choreografieren Kampfeinlagen. Der neue Nebencast rund um Sonya Cassidy und Anthony Michael Hall kann ebenfalls überzeugen. Doch altbekannte Gesichter wie Maria Sten als Neagley sind ebenfalls zu sehen.

On the latest episode of Bingeworthy, host Mike DeAngelo heads back into the fists-first world of “Reacher”, which just wrapped its action-packed third season on Prime Video. Based on Lee Child's novel “Persuader,” this season sees Alan Ritchson return as the titular wrecking ball, going undercover to extract an informant—and settle an old score along the way. But while Reacher does plenty of punching, it's the emotional gut punches that make this season stand out—especially those delivered by new cast member Anthony Michael Hall.Yes, that Anthony Michael Hall—the ‘80s teen comedy icon from “The Breakfast Club,” “Sixteen Candles,” and “Weird Science.” But here, Hall plays Zachary Beck, a Boston arms dealer with a complicated past and even more complicated parenting instincts. What might sound like another mustache-twirling villain role turns out to be anything but.READ MORE: The 75 Most Anticipated TV Shows Of 2025

Jack Reacher is back for his 3rd adventure on Prime Video. Reacher season 3 has wrapped up its run on Amazon and this will be the first time I cover the show on MOVIE Morning! I caught up on Reacher not too long after season 2 released and fell in love with the vibe of this show and Alan Ritchson's pitch perfect portrayal of Jack Reacher. Each of the first two seasons had many great qualities to them and they also felt different, which is very refreshing for a TV show. And season 3, based on the book ‘Persuader', might just be the strongest season of the Nick Santora Prime Video series yet. Find out why in this review of all 8 episodes!

Juanma González analiza los estrenos de la semana que son: Amenaza en el aire, El secreto del Orfebre y Reacher. ¡Dale al play! En el programa Es la Mañana de Fin de Semana, Juanma González ha hablado sobre los estrenos más importantes de esta primera semana de marzo.Amenaza en el aire Protagonizada por Mark Wahlberg y dirigida por Mel Gibson— La pasión de Cristo (2004), Apocalypto (2006), etc.—, la acción se concentra en un único espacio, la avioneta, y cuenta la historia de un piloto (Mark Wahlberg) que transporta a una teniente general (Michelle Dockery), quien custodia a un testigo (Topher Grace) que va a testificar en un juicio contra la mafia. Sin embargo, el piloto no es quien dice ser. Aunque el argumento es poco innovador, González ha destacado que "es entretenida". González ha comentado sobre el tono de la película que "Mel Gibson la dota de un sentido del humor que es muy propio de él" a través de los personajes, pues, según González, incluso a los antagonistas "les coges cariño". Además, González ha subrayado sobre Mel Gibson que "después de tantos años, puede y sabe dirigir una película ambiciosa. Son 90 minutos muy rápidos y bastante entretenidos. Tiene pulso como director, rueda muy bien, sabe dominar la acción, el suspense y el humor". "Al final, es una serie B que solo busca entretener y divertir. Conserva esa escuela que se ha ido perdiendo en las películas de acción modernas, que son diferentes", ha concluido González.El secreto del orfebre Basada en la novela homónima de Elia Barceló, es un drama romántico que sigue la historia de dos amantes condenados a encontrarse y desencontrarse a lo largo del tiempo, luchando por estar juntos. Juan Pablo (Mario Casas) es un orfebre que viaja a su pueblo natal, donde se reencuentra con un amor que cambió su vida, Celia (interpretada por Michelle Jenner y Zoe Bonafonte). González ha explicado que es "una película con muy buena factura", ya que cuenta con atmósferas rurales idealizadas y un toque histórico. Además, ha continuado diciendo que "es una película muy bien hecha, con una buena factura visual, que no resulta televisiva. Es cursi y romántica, pero no excesivamente empalagosa". Por otro lado, en cuanto a los actores, González ha afirmado que "Mario Casas ha mejorado mucho como actor".Reacher La tercera temporada de Reacher se ha estrenado en Amazon Prime Video. Alan Ritchson da vida al exoficial de la policía militar, Jack Reacher. González ha dicho que la serie es "súper entretenida, tiene mucho humor, pero también es violenta. Hay muertos de verdad, tiene el tono de novela policíaca y película de acción ochentera y noventera".Par Impar En el último episodio del podcast Par Impar, Dani Palacios y González cuentan con la participación del director Nacho Vigalondo— Daniela Forever (2025)— para hablar sobre la película Carretera perdida (1997) de David Lynch.

Actor Alan Ritchson raves about the cross-generational fanbase for his show "Reacher," where viewers enjoy watching his character take out bad guys in elaborately choreographed fight scenes. And actress Tamara Tunie tells Stephen what to expect from her glass ceiling-breaking new show, "Beyond The Gates," which is the first daytime drama to feature a Black family in the central roles. It also happens to be the first new network soap opera in over 25 years! Watch "Beyond The Gates" when it premieres Monday on CBS.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of February 21, 2025. A nice, feel-good family movie called “The Unbreakable Boy” leads the way as Zachary Levi plays the father of Austin, an autistic boy with brittle bone disease and an unbreakable spirit. “Win or Lose“ is a new series from Pixar on DisneyPlus that looks at a junior high softball championship game from the perspective of many different participants/watchers.

This week on Myopia Movies, we're celebrating a milestone—500 episodes! To honor the journey, we're going back to a movie that came out just as we were starting and talking about the Turtles. This time, though, we are covering the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, produced by Michael Bay, which came out while we were starting. It's awful, it's outrageous, and surprisingly adult for what was a kids' movie. So, for this special episode, we're doing something different: a syncable commentary, just like on the old CineProv Patreon. We will count off the film and tell you when to hit play. Whether you're watching along (it was on Amazon Prime when we recorded) or just listening, we're here to have fun, make jokes, and share in the absurdity. Thank you for supporting us through 500 episodes—we appreciate you! How will Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) hold up?  Host: Nic Panel: Alex, Daniel, Matthew, and Keiko   Directed by Jonathan Liebesman Starring Megan Fox, Will Arnett, William Fichtner, Noel Fisher, Alan Ritchson, Pete Ploszek, Johnny Knoxville, Jeremy Howard, Danny Woodburn, Tony Shalhoub, Tohoru Masamune, Whoopi Goldberg

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box failures and decide if they deserve a second chance. The fires of history still burn bright, and the lads of Not A Bomb are here to stoke them with tales of valor and defiance. This week, the spotlight falls on the dashing duo of Mr. Boxer-Dropper himself, Henry Cavill, and his stalwart ally Alan Ritchson, as they bring to life The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare! Directed by the ever-reliable Guy Ritchie, this cinematic triumph thrusts us into the daring exploits of Operation Postmaster—a secret mission that turned the tide against tyranny on the Spanish island of Fernando Po during the Second World War. With action and intrigue dripping from every frame, this film rekindles the spirit of resistance that defined the Greatest Generation. Though the box office may not yet reflect its worth, the critical battle has been won, with audiences and critics alike singing its praises. Is this just another pretender in the crowded field of WWII adventures, or does it cement its place as a true monument to courage and cunning? Join the ranks, watch the film, and decide for yourself—because history isn't just remembered, it's relived! The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is directed by Guy Ritchie and stars Henry Cavill, Eiza Gonzalez, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Babs Olusanmokun, Henrique Zaga, Til Schweiger, Henry Golding, and Cary Elwes.

Just like the last time she was on, each of you gave as good as you got.I tend to agree more with her, because I fear that sometimes you come off as what Jeane Kirkpatrick called the “blame America first crowd” — not that we haven't committed our sins. But if we didn't exist, Putin would still be evil and want to recreate the Warsaw Pact, and the mullahs in Iran would still be fanatics despite our CIA involvement. It's complicated.Another on foreign policy:I despise Putin, my sympathies are totally with the Ukrainians, and I get angry when people like Rod Dreher and Tucker Carlson imply that the Russians were forced by the West to invade Ukraine. But, so what! You hit the nail on the head with the Obama quote — that Ukraine is never going to mean as much to us as it does to them (the Russians). You also made another very good point that the Russians can't even conquer Ukraine, but we're supposed to fear they will march West? How they going to do that?!Another took issue with several things from Anne:You raised the immigration issue, and Applebaum completely dismissed it: Hungary doesn't have a migrant crisis. … Because it's a useful symbol [to] create fear and anxiety. … This is the oldest political trick in the book, and the creation of an imaginary culture war is one of the ways in which you build support among a more fearful part of the population.WTF? Are Hungarians not allowed to see what is happening in every other European country that has allowed mass migration and see the problems it has caused and proactively decide to prevent this?! Are they not allowed to be concerned until Budapest has the banlieues of Paris, the car bombing gangs of Sweden, and the grooming gangs of England?! And in Germany, it has been recently reported that almost half of people receiving social payments are migrants.Applebaum followed that up with an even bigger gobsmacker about Biden's cognitive decline: “This is another road I don't want to go down, but I know people who met with Joe Biden a couple months ago, and he was fine” (meaning I just want to make my statement but will not allow you a rebuttal). And then:I've met [Harris] a few times, mostly in the context of conversations about foreign policy and about Russia and Ukraine and other things. And she's an intelligent conversationalist. … I was impressed with her. And these are way off-the-record conversations... And I was always more impressed with how she was off the record. And then I would sometimes see her in public. And I thought, she seems very stiff and nervous. … You'd like her if you met her in real life.Translation of both of these excerpts: “You plebes who aren't insiders just don't understand, but trust me — the connected insider — instead of your lying eyes.”Another adds:I think for the next few months, you're going to have to push people like Anne Applebaum to be more open to criticizing the Biden-Harris record. She's a smart person with important things to say, but she clearly dared not criticize the current administration, lest she be seen as helping Trump. And another:She says, unironically, that autocrats rig court systems with exotic new lawfare to attack their political enemies to seize or cling to power. I wonder what that makes Alvin Bragg and Merrick Garland.This Dishhead listened to the episode with his teenage son:The notion that Trump supporters want a dictator is beyond ridiculous. They are among the most individualistic and freedom-loving people in America. They are the Jacksonians, the Scots-Irish heart of this country. They are ornery as hell, and if Trump tried to force them into anything, he'd have another thing coming.  Just look how he tried to get them to take “his” vaccine. That didn't work out so well, did it? The truth is, they view people like Anne as the ones who are taking away their rights and freedoms through their absolute dominance of the media and all cultural institutions. Now maybe Trump will deliver them from that and maybe he won't, but that is what they are seeking — not a dictator, but someone who will break the hideous grip that the liberal elite has on the culture.My son is 18 years old and was also listening to the episode. He is highly engaged in national and world affairs, and he also thought Anne was way off track. He's already announced to his mother (much to her chagrin) that he will be casting his first vote for Trump. And get this: he's going to Oberlin College this fall. I can assure you he's not looking for a dictator. He's looking to say “eff you” to a system that has no use for upper-class, normal white boys like him. The elites hate him and his friends.But I'm glad you have a diversity of views on the Dishcast. It really is the best. I look forward to listening to it every week.I can't back Trump, but I do think your son is onto something. On a few other episodes:Lionel Shriver — I love her! I wished you'd talked more about her novel, Mania. It's not perfect, but it's good.On the Stephen Fry pod, I was resistant! He's irritated me at times. But I loved it when you two started doing Larkin! I shouldn't admit this, but “Aubade” could be my autobiography. I think one or both of you misinterpret “Church Going.” Larkin doesn't wish he had faith. I don't think that's relevant to him. Fry talked about how he liked everything about Anglicanism except for the detail about God (and I always suspect that for Anglicans, God is a somewhat troubling detail). I'm probably just guessing, but I don't think that's Larkin. Larkin didn't wish he had faith. He was elegiac about the past in which there was faith. I think you'll see this sensibility in “An Arundel Tomb.”Agreed. Another on Shriver:She seems to think that “liberals” are mistaken in believing that everyone can be equal, but I think she is mistaken in thinking that is what they believe — at least those I know. Liberals do think that 1) expectations play a role in what people achieve; and 2) given the right circumstances, many people find they can achieve more than was expected. Low expectations do lead to low outcomes (and yes, there is research to support that statement). Does that mean everyone can do anything they wish? No. Neither you nor I will ever be a concert pianist, but let us not condemn everyone to the garbage heap based on false expectations.Thanks as always for your provocative discussions.Here's a guest rec:Musa Al Gharbi, a sociologist at Stony Brook, has written for Compact, American Affairs, and The Liberal Patriot. His forthcoming book, We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite, draws on Pierre Bourdieu's notions of cultural capital to analyze the ascendant symbolic capitalists — those who work in law, technology, nonprofits, academia, journalism and media, finance, civil service and the like — and how the ideology known as “wokeness” exists to entrench economic inequality and preserve the hegemony of this class. I have preordered the book, and it should be a timely read for an election in which class (education), not race, has become the preeminent dividing line in our politics.Here's a guest rec with pecs:I have a recommendation that may sound bonkers, but hear me out: Alan Ritchson, the actor whose career has taken off thanks to playing Jack Reacher on Reacher.The fact that he's really, really, really ridiculously good-looking is the least interesting thing about him. I'd love to hear a conversation between you and him for a few reasons. First, he's bipolar and speaks openly about it. Second, he started taking testosterone supplements after his body broke down from working out for Reacher, and he speaks openly about that too. Third, he's a devout evangelical Christian who speaks openly about his faith — and about his disgust with Christian nationalism and the hijacking of Christianity by many Trump supporters. Fourth, he posted what read to me as a thoughtful, sane critique of bad cops, thereby angering certain denizens of the Very Online Right. Thus, he could speak to a number of major Dishcast themes: mental illness, masculinity, and Christianity. To me, he manages to come across as a guy's guy whose comments on political matters sound like the result of actual reflection, rather than reflexively following a progressive script, which is how most celebrities come across. He's articulate, and the way he's navigating this cultural and political moment is fascinating. And if you do snag him, you should supplement the audio with video.Haha. But seriously, we're trying to keep the podcast fresh and this is a great out-of-the-box recommendation. Next up, the dissents over my views on Harris continue from the main page. A reader writes:I have no particular attachment to Kamala Harris, and share some of your concerns, but your latest column reads more like a Fox News hit piece than a real assessment. The main problem is that you seem to be judging Harris almost exclusively on the basis of statements she made in 2020, at the height of the Democrats' woke mania because of George Floyd. Do you not remember that she was destroyed in the primary because she was a prosecutor, and was to the right of almost everyone else in the primary, except for Biden and Sanders? That's why she lost: she wasn't woke enough. So as VP, of course she pivoted to shore up her appeal to the base, like any good politician would. It's terribly unfortunate that she had to tack hard left precisely as the country was moving back to the center and rejecting wokism, but that doesn't mean she's the “wokest candidate,” as you say. It just means she's a politician.My criticism also extended to her management and campaigning skills in the past. And look: I don't think it's fair to compare my attempt to review the evidence of her record with a Fox News hit-piece. It's important to understand her vulnerabilities as well as he core ideas, if she has any. This next reader thinks she is off to a good, non-woke start:I agree with your criticisms of Harris, at least some of them. We need to have stronger border enforcement, we can't have riots in cities, and racism is real but DEI excesses are also bad. And it's troubling that she has a history of being a bad boss. I can only hope that she has learned from her mistakes. But I take heart from her campaign speech in Wisconsin: she said not a word about DEI, nothing about “vote for me to show that you're not sexist/racist, because I'm a woman of color,” and not much about “Trump is a threat to democracy.” It was all, “I have experience dealing with sleazy crooks and sex offenders like Trump, and I want to help middle-class Americans and protect health care and a woman's right to choose.” Sounds like a popular message!You also say, “She is not a serious person.” Bro, have you *seen* the other party's candidate?
