In the third of five special episodes to celebrate this podcast's 300th episode, focused on J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings, this episode is the second middle chapter, with no beginning and no end, just like The Two Towers.The Two Towers ups the ante from The Fellowship of the Ring, balancing intense action with rich storytelling. This episode focuses on the pivotal Battle of Helm's Deep and the groundbreaking introduction of Gollum, a character that redefined motion capture in film. Gollum's evolution from CGI concept to a fully realized character, is thanks to Andy Serkis' groundbreaking performance. The filming for The Two Towers included gruelling night shoots, and the sheer scale of the battle scenes meant that the crew ended up with "I survived Helm's Deep" t-shirts. It was a monumental filmmaking achievement, taking months to shoot under challenging conditions. The Lord of the Rings wouldn't be The Lord of the Rings, if it didn't feel like The Lord of the Rings, and esteemed Tolkien illustrators Alan Lee and John Howe were brought on as conceptual designers, ensuring visual continuity with the imagery many readers associated with the books. The artistry behind the sets and props in the series reflects a rich history, with every detail crafted to enhance the authenticity of Middle Earth. We wants it, we needs it.This episode is Part 2 of a three-part story, as well as Part 3 of a five-part group of episodes.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes.Marvel Studios is apparently very pleased with the positive reviews its latest release Thunderbolts*(AKA The New Avengers) is being showered with, as the director, Jake Schreier, is reportedly the studio's top choice to direct the upcoming X-Men film. Said X-Men film remains untitled, but is in active development with Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes writer, Michael Lesslie, currently writing the script. All of this seems to be in keeping with The Wall Street Journal's recent reports about Feige's 10-year plan for the mutants he shared with colleagues.This week DC treated us to the first official trailer for the sophomore season of HBO's Peacemaker, alongside the announcement that it will premiere August 21. The trailer is jam-packed with gags and characters old and new, with a notable handful of characters from James Gunn's upcoming Superman, like Sean Gunn's Maxwell Lord and Isabella Merced's Hawkgirl, appearing. Elsewhere, Despite wide traveling rumors, James Gunn affirmed that Matt Reeves is still set to direct The Batman 2 with his Threads response “Yes. Huh?” indicating his confusion at the suggestion of anything otherwise.  Gunn also teased a new trailer for Superman to hit the internet on Wednesday, conveniently the day after we recorded this episode.It's a tangled web we weave in terms of Spidey news this week, as Amazon's Spider-Man Noir series released a first image of Nic Cage in the title role, followed by what appeared to be an official trailer that was subsequently removed and scrubbed from the internet. On the film side, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has added The Bear star, Liza Colón-Zayas in an undisclosed role.Per a Jeff “The Insneider” Sneider scoop/rumor, the upcoming Vision series starring Paul Bettany will be the last Marvel TV series to feature major characters from the films.During Disney's Up Front presentation, Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter confirmed that she will be returning to the role in the MCU in the second season of Daredevil Born Again.Warner Bros has slated the next Lord of the Rings film, subtitled The Hunt for Gollum, for a December 17, 2027 release. The film, which sees Andy Serkis returning to not only star, but also direct, was announced last summer for a 2026 release originally before being delayed by a year.Author Tess Sharpe will be releasing a young adult novel focusing on Yelena Belova titled White Widow: Secret Sisters. The novel will be released on September 2nd.Warner Bros. and Legendary announced last week that Godzilla x Kong: Supernova is the new title for the forthcoming movie that is set for theatrical release March 26, 2027.

The series, titled The Paper, will follow a struggling newspaper based out of Toledo, Ohio and is now set to premiere in September.Michael B.

Send us a textThe rebellion begins not with lightsabers or space battles, but with a stirring speech in a prison manufacturing facility. "Never more than 12" – four words that change everything. Andor's brilliance lies in showing us the human side of rebellion through the eyes of ordinary people making extraordinary choices. As we explore the second half of Season 1, we witness Cassian's journey from selfish survivor to reluctant revolutionary. The Narkina 5 prison sequence stands as one of Star Wars' greatest achievements – a sterile nightmare where electrical floors and dehumanizing routines break spirits until Andy Serkis' unforgettable "One way out" speech ignites hope and action.Meanwhile, Marva's death becomes the catalyst for Ferrix's uprising, showing how even in loss, rebellion finds its voice. Her posthumous message, delivered through her faithful droid B2EMO, transforms grief into defiance. We discuss how Star Wars uniquely portrays droids not as machines seeking humanity but as unique life forms with their own emotional landscape. B2EMO's dog-like devotion provides some of the season's most heartbreaking moments.Throughout our conversation, we return to an intriguing question: Is Cassian guided by something greater? Though the Force is never explicitly mentioned, his uncanny ability to be exactly where the rebellion needs him suggests cosmic significance. Luthen's inexplicable decision to recruit Cassian, despite the security risk, hints at forces beyond rational calculation. Perhaps Andor serves as an instrument of the Force without wielding it himself – a messenger carrying hope across the galaxy.What makes Andor revolutionary isn't just its gritty portrayal of life under Empire, but its celebration of how ordinary people become the backbone of resistance. Through exceptional writing, nuanced performances, and philosophical depth, it elevates Star Wars storytelling to new heights while remaining true to the hope that has always defined the franchise.Listen as we break down the masterful storytelling that makes this not just great Star Wars, but simply great television.

Part 1 of Luke and Juliane's discussion of The Lord of the Rings, focusing on the audiobook performance by Andy Serkis, appreciation for the first movie in the trilogy, how Tom Bombadil can be so annoying, and Luke takes a stab at the question “what even are elves?” See every book/episode of the SFBRP here: […]

“Whedon at the line….oh, no, another brick!” - Steve, on the screenplay clunkers On this week's episode, the 2025 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza kicks off with a trip to Franchise Town as we discuss the fun, Spader-tastic sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron! How great is James Spader with this Ultron performance? Are there too many characters in this fully-loaded movie? Should they have written mutant characters when they couldn't use the word ‘mutant' anywhere in the script? And would Ultron have been more menacing if he was given a big, mechanical mustache? PLUS: What in the world is going on with the Maximoffs' accents here? Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Cobie Smulders, Anthony Mackie, Hayley Atwell, Idris Elba, Linda Cardellini, Stellan Skarsgård, Claudia Kim, Thomas Kretschman, Andy Serkis, and James Spader as Ultron; directed by noted jerk, Joss Whedon.

Welcome back, Void! You get a monologue, and you get a monologue, AND YOU GET A MONOLOGUE!! Monologues for the ages! We're seriously awe-struck at the quality of the speeches in this half of the season. Andy Serkis leading the prison break, Stellan Skarsgård digging deep into sacrifice, and Fiona Shaw being the first stone thrown (literally). Following the first strike against the Empire at Aldhani, the sparks of rebellion are kindled across the galaxy. For each hero rising up, there is an equal psychopath torturing, stalking, and just being creepy. Mon Mothma is our "character growth" MVP as she chooses to walk the walk and sacrifice everything, even her daughter, to the rebellion. This season is one of the best pieces of Star Wars storytelling, period.

The reason is simple: anyone who fails to respond to the film's high-emotion ending or doesn't appreciate the anticipation of seeing more of Knull—delivering perfectly comic book moments in a comic book movie—is missing the point. Venom: The Last Dance is yet another example of critics bringing their agendas to the table before actually watching the film. Those who brought you Venom the Lst Dance Directed by: Kelly Marcel Screenplay by: Kelly Marcel Starring: Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom, Andy Serkis as Knull, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Rex Strickland. Cinematography: Matthew Libatique Music by: Ludwig Göransson Production Design: Andrew Palmer Costume Design: Sarah Robinson The Cast Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom Chiwetel Ejiofor as General Rex Strickland Juno Temple as Dr. Teddy Paine Rhys Ifans as Martin Moon Stephen Graham as Patrick Mulligan (also voices Mulligan's symbiote) Peggy Lu as Mrs. Chen Clark Backo as Sadie "Christmas" Alanna Ubach as Nova Moon Andy Serkis as Knull, the creator of the symbiotes

Whilst January's news begins with more of the same ole genAIs doing their thang, because they can, there's now evidence of more concerted effort to control the efforts of creators... because the corporates and policymakers can at least try to do that, right?  Well, maybe, but all this has achieved in the past is even more creative energy invested in jumping through the hoops, clambering over the walls and crashing through the hedges - so Happy New Year, we're looking forward to seeing what the amazing machinima creative communities of all engine persuasions around the World can achieve in 2025!  Plus, we discuss iClone's new update, a couple of interesting creative projects celebrating content creators in their own ways, as well as interesting milestones.1:15 SORA-not SORA6:51 Runway's Act One7:39 Face Depth Frame Mancer9:00 Riot Games dishing the riot act11:06 Fortnite's achievements12:53 Why was Andy Serkis not playing the horse?14:00 JT Music's Halo tribute14:42 Bullet Time Agent17:14 Reallusion's iClone update18:51 After Astartes: this is what happened to Syama PedersenCredits -Speakers: Phil Rice, Damien Valentine, Tracy HarwoodProducer: Damien ValentineEditor: Phil RiceMusic: Animo Domini Beats

Chapter 1 - A Long Expected PartyQ1 - What do you think of a Hobbits coming of age at 33?Q2 - What do you think of Frodo's parents death of drowning?Q3 - What do you think about Hobbits?Out flew a red-golden dragon – not life-size, but terribly life-like: fire came from his jaws, his eyes glared down; there was a roar, and he whizzed three times over the heads of the crowd. They all ducked, and many fell flat on their faces. The dragon passed like an express train, turned a somersault, and burst over Bywater with a deafening explosion.I regret to announce that – though, as I said, eleventy-one years is far too short a time to spend among you – this is the END. I am going. I am leaving NOW. GOOD-BYE! He stepped down and vanished. There was a blinding flash of light, and the guests all blinked. When they opened their eyes Bilbo was nowhere to be seen.Q4 - What do you think of Bilbo?Q5 - What do you think of the battle for the ring between Gandalf and Bilbo?He paused, silent for a moment. Then without another word he turned away from the lights and voices in the field and tents, and followed by his three companions went round into his garden, and trotted down the long sloping path. He jumped over a low place in the hedge at the bottom, and took to the meadows, passing into the night like a rustle of wind in the grass. Gandalf remained for a while staring after him into the darkness. ‘Good-bye, my dear Bilbo – until our next meeting!' he said softly and went back indoors.Q6 - Do you like Bilbo's Irish exit from life?Q7 - Thoughts on the Sackville Baggins and their gift of spoons?Chapter 2 - The Shadow of the PastQ1 - 17 years have passed…Frodo is now 50 and he hasn't seen Gandalf…how crazy is that?Q2 - What do you think of Sam?You say the ring is dangerous, far more dangerous than I guess. In what way?' ‘In many ways,' answered the wizard. ‘It is far more powerful than I ever dared to think at first, so powerful that in the end it would utterly overcome anyone of mortal race who possessed it. It would possess him.One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.Q3 - What is this rings actual power?‘I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo. ‘So do I,' said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.Q4 - Do you like Tolkiens writing so far?Q5 - What do you think of the Deagol and Smeagol story?‘You ought to begin to understand, Frodo, after all you have heard,' said Gandalf. ‘He hated it and loved it, as he hated and loved himself. He could not get rid of it. He had no will left in the matter.‘I endured him as long as I could, but the truth was desperately important, and in the end I had to be harsh. I put the fear of fire on him, and wrung the true story out of him, bit by bit, together with much snivelling and snarling.Q6 - Did Gandalf torture him?Through Mirkwood and back again it led them, though they never caught him. The wood was full of the rumour of him, dreadful tales even among beasts and birds. The Woodmen said that there was some new terror abroad, a ghost that drank blood. It climbed trees to find nests; it crept into holes to find the young; it slipped through windows to find cradles.And my search would have been in vain, but for the help that I had from a friend: Aragorn, the greatest traveller and huntsman of this age of the world.Q7 - I gotta say, this introduction of Aragorn is even better than the movies.‘Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before the end; and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many – yours not least.Q8 - What do you think about the idea of second chances so far in this story with Gollum?He went to the window and drew aside the curtains and the shutters. Sunlight streamed back again into the room. Sam passed along the path outside whistling. ‘And now,' said the wizard, turning back to Frodo, ‘the decision lies with you. But I will always help you.' He laid his hand on Frodo's shoulder. ‘I will help you bear this burden, as long as it is yours to bear. But we must do something, soon. The Enemy is moving.'Q9 - What do you think of Frodo?Chapter 3 - Three's Company‘‘It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door,'' he used to say. ‘‘You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.Q1 - Who is your favorite character so far?Round the corner came a black horse, no hobbit-pony but a full-sized horse; and on it sat a large man, who seemed to crouch in the saddle, wrapped in a great black cloak and hood, so that only his boots in the high stirrups showed below; his face was shadowed and invisible.Q2 - Jenn who is this?Q3 - What do you think about their meeting with the Elves?Chapter 4 - A Shortcut to Mushrooms‘Well, Sam!' he said. ‘What about it? I am leaving the Shire as soon as ever I can – in fact I have made up my mind now not even to wait a day at Crickhollow, if it can be helped.' ‘Very good, sir!' ‘You still mean to come with me?' ‘I do.' ‘It is going to be very dangerous, Sam. It is already dangerous. Most likely neither of us will come back.' ‘If you don't come back, sir, then I shan't, that's certain,' said Sam. ‘Don't you leave him! they said to me. Leave him! I said. I never mean to. I am going with him, if he climbs to the Moon; and if any of those Black Riders try to stop him, they'll have Sam Gamgee to reckon with, I said. They laughed.'Q1 - What do you think of Sam?Q2 - Do you think Frodo should have just gone with Sam, or was he smart to take Merry and Pippen?

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King was released in 2003 and tonight, The Doctor Who Show team ends its trilogy of Alternate Galaxies episodes begun two months ago with The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and continued last month with The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. We again examine the film in question from two different angles, with Dave not having seen the production before.

“Granny shagger!” - Steve, on Aragorn and Arwen's vast age gap On this week's We ❤️ Movies, we're chatting about the absolutely magnificent conclusion to the journey, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King! First of all, yes, we are discussing the four-hour and twenty-three-minute extended edition! How magnificent is John Noble's demise in this movie? Of all the stuff they could've cut from the theatrical, why on Earth did they ditch Sarumon's big fall? How horny is Eowyn for Aragorn? Was there a funnier way to include Sean Bean in that one scene? And should The Hobbit trilogy be re-evaluated? (Andrew thinks so!) PLUS: Samwise is framed for leaving nothing but Krackel in the Halloween variety pack!  The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King stars Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd, Bernard Hill, Dominic Monaghan, Viggo Mortensen, John Noble, Miranda Otto, John Rhys-Davies, Andy Serkis, Liv Tyler, Karl Urban, Hugo Weaving, David Wenham, and Ian McKellen as Gandalf; directed by Peter Jackson.

The hosts of Star Wars Generations return for a deeper dive into The Last Jedi, tackling questions from listeners and exploring overlooked aspects of this controversial Star Wars film. From surprising character deaths to stunning visual moments, this episode examines both the triumphs and missed opportunities in Rian Johnson's contribution to the sequel trilogy.Was Supreme Leader Snoke's death a brilliant subversion or a wasteful plot twist? The hosts debate whether killing such a mysterious and menacing character in the second film of the trilogy was the right creative choice, especially given Andy Serkis' compelling performance and the questions left unanswered about Snoke's origins and power.How did Captain Phasma's early demise impact Finn's character arc? The discussion explores how the decision to eliminate Gwendoline Christie's chrome-armored commander may have undermined future storytelling possibilities, particularly regarding Finn's journey as a former stormtrooper.What made the Holdo Maneuver such a memorable moment? The hosts break down why this controversial scene, with its stunning visuals and effective use of silence, stands as one of the most impactful sequences in Star Wars cinema, despite debates about its logic within the universe.Other topics discussed:General Hux's character development and daddy issuesThe significance of Kylo Ren's decision to remain on the dark sideRey's preservation of the Jedi textsLuke's reaction to Han's deathThe hosts' personal experiences with cosplayDeleted scenes that could have enhanced character momentsThe episode concludes by highlighting how The Last Jedi, despite its divisive nature, delivers some of the sequel trilogy's strongest emotional moments and most striking visuals, even as it makes controversial choices with beloved characters and established lore.Bonus member content about Added Muscle by Paul Dini, the next chapter in From a Certain Point of View: A New Hope.Use these links to find the media we discussed and support the podcast!The Last JediTarkin#StarWars #TheLastJedi #StarWarsTheLastJedi #RianJohnson #KyloRen #podcast #StarWarsPodcastWe've started the conversation.
