A monster movie that turns into something else entirely — we explain how Hope pulls it off and what that ending really means.That creature feature/alien movie you've been hearing about with dodgy CGI and a "worst ending ever"? WE SPOIL HOPE'S PLOT, SECRETS, AND ENDING! *Spoilers ahead (even in the description)Na Hong-jin's Hope pulls the rug out from under you, and we're breaking down every second of it. Cupcake and WillDaBeast (Mike) are joined by returning guest Shawn Guerrero (of the soon to be released "The Rot & Reels podcast" with legendary Mike Cadaver) as they dump the tea on Korea's most expensive creature feature ever made: the alien reveal, who that tiny creature really is, and all of the movie's influences - everything from the Aliens franchise, Godzilla, and yes...Raiders of the Lost Ark. What's that you say? "Avatar"-esque motion-capture work from Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, Taylor Russell, and Cameron Britton, and Korea's biggest and hottest actors?

Giappone Spettinato è la chiacchierata informale di Giappone nel Mondo, registrata in macchina mentre torno a casa: niente scaletta, niente schermi, niente dati letti al volo.Questa puntata nasce da un'uscita al cinema: sono appena tornato dalla visione di Hope, il nuovo film di Na Hong-jin (il regista di The Wailing), presentato a Cannes 2026. Non ha vinto nulla ma ha lasciato la sala senza fiato per la prima mezz'ora — un film di caccia, ambientato in un paesino coreano dove viene trovato un bovino sbranato, che a un certo punto ribalta completamente la prospettiva. Nel cast Michael Fassbender e Alicia Vikander, con degli effetti visivi che — parlo anche da chi lavora nel settore da più di dieci anni — funzionano benissimo.Vi racconto perché il cinema asiatico, e coreano in particolare, mi sta stupendo sempre di più: una qualità cinematografica diversa da quella americano-centrica a cui siamo abituati, con narrazioni e viaggio dell'eroe che non seguono gli schemi soliti.Prima di chiudere vi parlo anche di Resident Evil, appena visto al cinema: il film del regista di Barbarian che conferma il trend dei film tratti da videogiochi, dopo Super Mario e Sonic, ambientato nel mondo del gioco del 1996 ma con una trama tutta sua.Vi anticipo anche cosa arriva nelle prossime settimane: gli speciali di Halloween e il nuovo festival del cinema del terrore, più la live settimanale di Plot-Twister di domani sulla nostalgia per l'era Heisei.Ditemi nei commenti se avete visto Hope o se andrete a vedere Resident Evil — mi piacerebbe sapere cosa ne pensate.-- In questa puntata si parla anche di: --- The Wailing, il film precedente di Na Hong-jin- Trend dei film tratti da videogiochi (Mario, Sonic, Lara Croft)- Speciali di Halloween e nuovo festival del cinema del terrore- Live domenicale di Plot-Twister sulla nostalgia per l'era Heisei- Stato del cinema italiano secondo Luca-- Precisazioni --- Resident Evil è un famoso videogioco del 1996 giapponese della Sony, uscito per PlayStation → Resident Evil (Biohazard) è stato sviluppato e pubblicato da Capcom nel 1996; Sony ha prodotto solo la console PlayStation su cui è uscito, non il gioco- L'attrice del cast di Hope che ha fatto Tomb Raider ha fatto anche uno dei penultimi film di Guadagnino → Sono due attrici diverse, entrambe nel cast di Hope: Alicia Vikander ha fatto Tomb Raider, mentre Taylor Russell ha recitato in Bones and All (2022) di Luca Guadagnino-- Capitoli --00:00 Sigla00:10 Apertura: si torna dal cinema01:40 Hope di Na Hong-jin arriva da Cannes 202603:01 Al cinema in IMAX quasi vuoto03:59 Narrazione asiatica vs cinema americano04:27 La trama: il bovino morto e la caccia al mostro05:31 Il cast: Michael Fassbender e Alicia Vikander06:10 Effetti visivi tra critiche e sorprese06:43 Il film del giorno: Resident Evil07:48 Il trend dei film tratti da videogiochi09:12 Riscoprire il cinema asiatico (e quello italiano)09:53 Hope, il film coreano più costoso di sempre10:46 Anticipazioni: Halloween e il festival del terrore11:17 Domani la live di Plot-Twister sulla nostalgia Heisei-- Link utili --- Hope, il nuovo film di Na Hong-jin (Cannes 2026): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_(2026_film)- The Wailing, il film precedente di Na Hong-jin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wailing_(2016_film)- Resident Evil (2026), il film di Zach Cregger: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_Evil_(2026_film)- Canale YouTube Plot-Twister (live del weekend): https://www.youtube.com/@plot-twister- Canale YouTube Giappone nel Mondo: https://www.youtube.com/@giapponenelmondo- Omotenashi Anime (Simone): https://www.youtube.com/@OMOTENASHIANIME- Instagram (fotografia e danza): https://www.instagram.com/lucavalletta81

For this week's main podcast review, Dan Bayer, Cody Dericks, and Brendan Hodges joined me before I left for Telluride/TIFF to review and discuss the latest film from South Korean filmmaker Na Hong-jin, "Hope," starring Hwang Jung-min, Zo In-sung, Jung Ho-yeon, Taylor Russell, Cameron Britton, Alicia Vikander, and Michael Fassbender. The film premiered in competition at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its suspenseful first hour, adrenaline-pumping action sequences, and ensemble performances. It was, however, heavily criticized for its visual effects and intentional sequel baiting, a rarity at the Cannes Film Festival. What did we think of it, though? Please tune in, either on video or audio only, as we discuss the story, performances, action scenes, visual effects, sequel potential, awards season potential, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

"Hope" is a 2026 South Korean epic science fiction action thriller film written, directed, and co-produced by Na Hong-jin ("The Wailing"). Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Hwang Jung-min, Zo In-sung, Jung Ho-yeon, Taylor Russell, Cameron Britton, Alicia Vikander, and Michael Fassbender, the film centers on a village police chief and his rookie deputy who must defend his local community from a mysterious creature after wildfires sever all communications, while a local hunting party finds itself being hunted deep in the mountains. The film premiered in the main competition at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, where it competed for the Palme d'Or and received positive reviews, with special praise for Na Hong-jin's direction in action sequences. Na Hong-jin was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can watch or listen to below.

Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the Tudors
There is a written recipe for Henry VIII's perfume. It's in a 1608 book called A Closet for Ladies and Gentlewomen, and it's rosewater, sugar, musk, ambergris, and civet, boiled down softly for an entire day. I had no idea that existed until I sat down with Jen Siems of Immortal Perfumes, who has spent 14 years building fragrances out of archival research. Jen is a self-taught perfumer and a former English teacher, which means she talks about rare book rooms the way most people talk about their favorite TV show. She also has Elizabeth's recipe, which includes marjoram for headaches and a truly unreasonable amount of sugar. If you know anything about Elizabeth's teeth, that tracks. We get into: Where ambergris actually comes from, and why a kid walking on an English beach can stumble onto $50,000 worth of it Whether the Tudors really stank, and how much of that reputation we've made up Miasma theory, and why smelling magnificent was a health strategy and a PR strategy at the same time Catherine de' Medici, perfumed gloves, and how French perfume as we know it started with a Florentine bride Mary Queen of Scots' golden pomanders, and the violets-and-sparkling-wine legend that got misattributed to Anne Boleyn for years What Jude Law wore on the set of Firebrand to play a dying Henry, and why Alicia Vikander couldn't stand to be near him Fair warning, Jen explains how civet gets harvested and it involves a comparison to taking your dog to the vet. I was not ready. GIVEAWAY: Jen is giving away a vintage Avon Queen Elizabeth bottle (her torso lifts off, it's wonderful) filled with the Immortal Perfumes scent of the winner's choice.

After watching #1 Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, James Cameron-Wilson says he's exhausted by all these fantasy franchises. The effects are impressive but the plot seems redundant and he was extremely bored. Not so with #8 Finding Emily, the best romcom he has seen in quite some time. Produced by the team behind Love Actually and Bridget Jones, it's about a student trying to find a girl he clicked with, only for the search to go badly awry. Humming with great Curtis-esque lines, it has an engaging freshness and feels very real. After a brief mention of Hen, in which a hen observes Greek life, James discusses The Wizard of the Kremlin, starring Paul Dano and Alicia Vikander, about a filmmaker who becomes an adviser to Putin. On various platforms, it has an air of the Europudding. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
"The Wizard Of The Kremlin" is a 2025 English-language French political satire film directed by Olivier Assayas, who co-wrote the screenplay with Emmanuel Carrère. It is based on the 2022 novel by Giuliano da Empoli. It follows the fictional government official Vadim Baranov (Paul Dano) during the final years of the Soviet Union and the turbulent early years of the Russian Federation, as a young Vladimir Putin (Jude Law) rises to power. It also stars Alicia Vikander, Will Keen, Tom Sturridge, and Jeffrey Wright. Dano and Assayas were both kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to below.

Der Magier im Kreml | Tarantino hasst Paul Dano – wir feiern ihn, besonders in seiner Rolle als Putins Verbündeter Quentin Tarantino mag Paul Dano nicht. Schade, aber sein Problem. Denn Manuel und Stu mögen Paul Dano – vor allem in seiner neuesten Rolle im satirischen Politdrama "Der Magier im Kreml". Darin verkörpert er Wadim Baranow, eine (angeblich) fiktionale Figur, die Wladimir Putin dabei half, an die Macht zu kommen und diese auch zu festigen. Mit Jude Law als Putin sowie Alicia Vikander und Jeffrey Wright in weiteren Rollen ist der Film vom französischen Kultregisseur Olivier Assayas glänzend besetzt. Doch wo genau liegen die Stärken und Makel der Literaturverfilmung, die am 9. April in die deutschen Kinos kommt. Manuel und Stu verraten euch im Podcast, warum sich ein Kinobesuch lohnt und worauf man besonders achten sollte. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge vom Tele-Stammtisch!

Swedish-born Alicia Vikander won global acclaim in 2015 for playing Vera Britten in Testament Of Youth, and a humanoid robot in the thriller Ex-Machina.

Written and directed by Alex Garland in his directorial debut, Ex Machina is the science fiction film starring Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, and Oscar Isaac. Rob and Jason rewind to the year 2015 to review the decade old movie that has only just become more relevant with time. Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson) a programmer at a huge Internet company, wins a contest that enables him to spend a week at the private estate of Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), his firm's brilliant CEO. When he arrives, Caleb learns that he has been chosen to be the human component in a Turing test to determine the capabilities and consciousness of Ava (Alicia Vikander), a beautiful robot. However, it soon becomes evident that Ava is far more self-aware and deceptive than either man imagined.
Synthetic Sexuality: Alex Garland's Ex Machina AI continues to hold our fascination. This week Mr. Chavez & I dive into Alex Garland's examination of Artificial Intelligence with 2014s Ex Machina. Set, as Garland describes, "Ten minutes from now," Ex Machina is a fascinating film with exceptional performances from Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, and Alicia Vikander. Few films are able to capture the subtleties and realities of science fiction paranoia with this level of skill. As these talks have continued over the last few episodes, the paranoia is becoming greater as the realities of our world begin to live up to predictions. Garland does creative and powerful work; asking questions and presenting situations that seem to be more likely than simple imagination.

In this episode of the 3 Geeks Podcast, we sit down with the incredibly talented Amie Mackenzie, an American bi-coastal actor making major moves in 2024. With eight exciting projects this year, Amie is proving to be a rising force in television and film. She kicked off the year with a role in Elsbeth (Season 1), followed by a standout appearance in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, where she shares the screen with Nathan Lane in a stunning dinner party scene. Later this year, audiences can catch her in a Netflix series alongside Nestor Carbonell, and she has also landed a role in Taylor Sheridan's highly anticipated new show, The Madison, playing an entitled frenemy of Michelle Pfeiffer's character. We also dive into Amie's role in Dexter: Original Sin, the upcoming prequel to the hit Showtime series. She shares insights into working on the project, what fans can expect from this fresh take on Dexter's early years, and how it was stepping into the world of one of TV's most iconic crime dramas. With her ability to seamlessly navigate between thrilling crime series and prestige dramas, Amie's versatility is undeniable. Beyond television, Amie's film career is also taking off. She recently worked on a project with Alicia Vikander and Wagner Moura, expected to make the festival rounds in late 2025 or early 2026. Her involvement in the Sundance Director's Lab led to another feature film opportunity, which is also set for festival releases next year. Before this breakout year, Amie had already built an impressive resume with roles in Better Call Saul, AJ and the Queen (alongside RuPaul), MacGruber, Deputy, Messiah, and Taylor Sheridan's 1923. In this interview, she shares her experiences working on these incredible projects, what it's like collaborating with some of Hollywood's biggest names, and what the future holds for her rapidly growing career.

It's another hat-trick of wonderful guests on this week's Empire Podcast. Which is good, as there's only two colleagues of such lethal cunning. Due to a combination of work absences, holidays, and general apathy, only Helen O'Hara and James Dyer are on pod-duty this week and, thanks to Jimbo's unfortunate bout of Covid, they're doing it remotely as well. Never fear, though, they still bring the film-related fun as they take a couple of listener questions, discuss the week's movie news (before the Ocean's 14 story broke, naturally), and review Firebrand, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Starve Acre, and Rebel Ridge. The latter also provides one of our guests, as Chris Hewitt talks to its writer/director, Jeremy Saulnier, about its long route to the small screen (it's a Netflix movie). That's right at the end of the whole pod [ 1:32:47 - 1:51:41 approx] and Firebrand provides the two other guests, as we talk to Henry VIII, aka Jude Law, and the wife who survived him, Katherine Parr, aka Alicia Vikander, who talk to Helen and Chris, respectively. [17:04 - 33:12 approx for Alicia and 51:28 - 1:09:04 approx for Jude] Remember: divorced beheaded died, divorced beheaded survived is not just a great way to remember the fates of Henry VIII's six wives, but also the fate of the podteam members who didn't appear on this week's episode. Enjoy.
