In this episode the FilmBros discuss Alan Ritchson out as Batman, Amazon facing lawsuit over films, First look at Starwars Starfighter, Paramount wanting the Call of Duty films rights and moreLeave a message on our socials! Twitter, TIktok, IG @FIlmBrosPodcastSupport the show

Two wildly different movie reviews this week with Caught Stealing, and The Thursday Murder Club and boy are they wildly different movies as well. Plus, James Gunn announces a Superman sequel, Amazon gives us our new Laura Croft, and Call of Duty is headed to the big screen. Also, Prefect Dark wasn't as dead as we thought, well, it is now, Konami made an interesting choice for Metal Gears return. That and more.

Frank and Jonathan kick off with the Question of the Week about who Alan Ritchson should play in the DCU, then break down A24 developing an Elden Ring movie with Alex Garland. They unpack the Avengers Doomsday “on-set feud” rumor and why it fell apart on closer reporting, talk through Kumail Nanjiani's Eternals comments and what they reveal about Marvel's planning, and close with a spoiler-lite review of Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 1, focusing on themes, character beats, and where the season might be headed. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome and rundown of today's topics 00:27 Question of the Week Alan Ritchson's DCU role ideas from the community 01:58 Aquaman trivia and fan casting talk Green Arrow, Bane, Killer Croc, Deathstroke, Absolute Batman 04:10 A24 is developing an Elden Ring movie with Alex Garland why this pairing fits dark fantasy 07:11 What makes game adaptations work today fan respect over algorithms 09:24 Quality over hype The Last of Us effect and what general audiences respond to 13:22 Avengers Doomsday feud rumor gets debunked how shaky sources spread 16:15 The scooper economy pros, cons, and why credibility matters 21:00 Eternals postmortem Kumail Nanjiani's six-project deal and the mental health fallout 25:29 What Marvel planned for Eternals and why the execution stumbled 29:03 Three takeaways Marvel seems to have learned after Eternals 32:17 Peacemaker S2E1 review themes, character arcs, and that multiverse doorway 38:13 Standout scenes Justice Gang mic hot, Guy Gardner moment, team chemistry 41:59 Network updates Challenge Accepted, Outlast, This Is Starting, Fandom Portals 45:58 Weekly recommendations King of the Hill's new season and Kpop Demon Hunter 49:46 Wrap up and listener call to action Key Takeaways Alan Ritchson is not Batman, but he did meet with James Gunn. Fan casting ranged from Aquaman to Bane and Absolute Batman, with smart cases made for each. A24 plus Alex Garland on Elden Ring is a strong match. Expect scale, mood, and respect for the lore over jump scares. The Doomsday “feud” rumor fizzled once credible on-set sourcing surfaced. Hype without receipts is noise. Kumail Nanjiani's comments show how big Marvel's Eternals plans were and how hard a miss can hit the people involved. Likely Marvel lessons after Eternals Infrastructure is not inevitability Keep the door open but the funnel narrow Prestige plus scale is not a strategy without story Peacemaker S2E1 centers on loneliness, found family, and a doorway that tempts Chris with a perfect life. The team still clicks when they are together, and the Justice Gang scene lands. Quotes “Infrastructure is not inevitability.” “I think we might be in an era where people are hungry for well made stuff again.” “The misfit toys work well together.” “Listen to different sources, but check your sources.” Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?

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.

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.

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. Schreibt uns gerne in die Kommentare, welches Buchszenario ihr gerne in der kommenden vierten Staffel sehen möchtet.

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

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
