Sean and Amanda have an action-packed show today where they cover three new releases. Before diving in, they react to the recent trailers for ‘The Odyssey' and ‘Avengers: Doomsday' and quickly discuss ‘Zootopia 2' and ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash' (1:38). Then, they discuss Paul Feig's ‘The Housemaid,' starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, which they found disappointing and prompts a discussion about what type of movies are being made for women in 2025 (9:09). Next, they talk through ‘Anaconda,' starring Jack Black, which they describe as a cynical, depressing exercise in IP franchise filmmaking (38:37). Finally, they briefly touch on ‘Song Sung Blue,' a musical drama about a Neil Diamond tribute band starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson (50:00), before director Craig Brewer joins Sean to break down how his filmmaking career started, explain why music plays such a profound role in his work, and tell a fascinating story about the lengthy process behind casting Hudson (1:01:35).

In this episode of The Re-Mind Podcast, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton explore one of the most misunderstood emotions—for kids and adults alike: anger.Using a powerful real-life story from Ash's daughter at the library, this conversation gently unpacks the difference between feeling anger and being angry—and why confusing the two leads to shame, suppression, or emotional explosions. This episode offers parents, caregivers, and leaders a practical, nervous-system-informed way to help kids process big emotions without splashing them onto others.With warmth, humour, and clarity, Ash and Dave discuss how emotional regulation isn't about control, suppression, or “being good”—it's about awareness, safe expression, and learning what to do with what's inside us.The difference between feeling anger and being angryWhy trying to “control emotions” doesn't actually workHow kids (and adults) project emotions when they don't know how to process themA simple jar-and-water activity to teach emotional awarenessWhy anger itself isn't bad—but a dysfunctional relationship with anger isThe danger of suppressing anger vs exploding with itEmotional intelligence: awareness, regulation, and healthy expressionWhen you get angry, do you try to suppress it—or does it spill onto others?How was anger handled in your family growing up?What would a healthy relationship with anger look like for you or your child?

*Previously aired episode* Ash Patel goes full-send on authenticity in real estate and social media, calling out clickbait growth hacks and the hollow vanity metrics behind them. He unpacks why “generational funds” and decade-long holds often mask weak deals, and why infinite banking is just expensive life insurance dressed up with fancy marketing. Ash also takes aim at sloppy capital raising, urges investors to prioritize net worth over door count or passive-income theatrics, and shares how being real on LinkedIn helped him move capital quickly. The throughline is simple and spicy: authenticity wins, and anything less will cost you. Join us at Best Ever Conference 2026!

Send us a textWelcome back to DMR!This year's top ten movies of the year reflects a powerful mix of blockbuster spectacle, bold storytelling, and franchise reinvention that dominated the film conversation. Standout titles like The Naked Gun, Mission: Impossible, Avatar Fire & Ash, F1, Weapons, Sinners, and One Battle After Another showcase how studios leaned hard into recognizable IP while still taking creative risks. From high-octane action and jaw-dropping visuals to darker, character-driven thrillers, these films fueled nonstop discussion among movie fans, critics, and podcast audiences alike. Searches for best movies of the year, top ten films, and must-see blockbusters surged as audiences returned to theaters looking for cinematic events worth the big screen experience.This year was also packed with major events in film, including massive opening weekends, long-awaited sequels, and filmmakers pushing technology and storytelling forward. Avatar Fire & Ash continued to redefine visual effects and world-building, while Mission: Impossible proved practical stunts still draw crowds. The surprise buzz around films like Sinners and Weapons highlighted the growing appetite for original, edgy cinema alongside tentpole releases. Meanwhile, industry moments such as record-breaking box office performances, renewed debates around theatrical vs. streaming releases, and the rise of filmmaker-driven franchises made this a landmark year for movies. At DMR Deweys Movie Reviews, these films didn't just entertain—they shaped the conversation about where cinema is headed next.Be sure to grab your 30 Day Free Audible Trial - Link in the showThank you for all the support this year!Support the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

We are back with a special Monday night live to cover Avatar: Fire and Ash. Before we break down our favorite moments of the film and more, we cover some recent news including the recent Avengers: Doomsday trailer reveal that has some fans with strong opinions including us on the show. Come thru and chill!

This episode of Beer and a Movie goes full James Cameron—twice. Joined by comedian Connor Stewart, we dive into Avatar: Fire and Ash and the sci-fi horror classic Aliens. One is a sequel for the ages. One… frankly, isn't. We break down blue aliens, big budgets, space marines, flamethrowers, and Cameron's lifelong obsession with raising the stakes—sometimes brilliantly, sometimes questionably. Along the way, we compare how his storytelling, action, and world-building evolved across decades, and which franchise actually earned its legacy. Then we crack open Lagunitas Brewing's Little Sumpin' Sumpin' and Saint Arnold's Christmas Ale, pairing hop-forward chaos and holiday nostalgia with Cameron's cinematic excess. Expect strong opinions, beer-fueled tangents, and Connor Stewart doing what he does best—calling it like he sees it. Grab a beer, pick a side, and stay frosty—because in space, no one can hear you crack open a Christmas ale.

Movie Pals Podcast #214 – Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Welcome back to the Movie Pals Podcast! In Episode 214, we wrap up our long-running segment “The Pals' Favorite Films of the Century” and dive into a full review of Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025). ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 00:24 – The Pals' Favorite Films of the Century (2005–2009) • 01:03 – Nabil's Picks • 12:36 – James' Picks • 21:32 – Mikey's Picks • 31:46 – Marco's Picks 47:29 – Review of Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 1:13:14 – ⚠️ Spoiler Section 1:21:53 – Outro

Have you ever wished you could travel back in time, wield 10th-level spells, and tell ancient archmages that "no seriously, this is definitely going to end badly"? Well congratulations, this episode is for you! Today we explore Netheril's majestic flying cities, magical decadence, and the absolute worst urban-planning decision ever: putting time portals in extremely obvious places. Grab your arcane seatbelts; gravity is optional. RPGBOT Video Reviews on YouTube Heads-up, adventurers! RPGBOT review episodes may soon begin appearing in full video on YouTube. If you've ever wanted to see our horrified facial expressions while discussing Netheril's magical OSHA violations—this might be your moment. More information coming soon! Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts dive deep into Netheril's Fall, the newest official supplement set during the height (and imminent collapse) of the ancient Netherese Empire. The cast explores Netheril's lore, the rise of magical elitism, the role of 10th-level spells, and the unique position this supplement occupies as mainly a Dungeon Master resource rather than a player-option book. The crew also discusses the magical decadence of flying cities, the oppressive social structure of the High Netherese vs Low Netherese, and introduces magical anomalies that shape how DMs can run Netheril-era adventures. Meanwhile, Tyler, Randall, and Ash debate the biggest question: Should Netheril EVER be saved? Or is this empire truly doomed? Finally, the hosts explore the controversial time-gate mechanics that enable PCs to visit this legendary era. Is this an exciting campaign hook, or a plot hole the size of a mythallar? (Spoiler: opinions are strong.) Key Takeaways Netheril's Fall provides primarily DM-focused content, not player options The supplement covers flying cities, magical aristocracy, and Netherese history Time-travel mechanics are interesting—but potentially world-breaking for campaigns Magical anomalies and arcane hazards add unique adventure hooks Adventures include encounters in both floating cities and ground-level Nethereese settlements Strong lore content connects directly to Forgotten Realms history, Baldur's Gate 3, and classic D&D themes The supplement works best if treated as a mini-campaign or one-shot instead of long-term setting Join the RPGBOT Patreon Want even more deep-dive analysis, lore breakdowns, and behind-the-scenes discussions like this one?

Benny and JTE have returned from Pandora to give you a review of James Cameron's latest Avatar: Fire and Ash

This week on The Jock and Nerd Podcast, we dive deep into James Cameron's long-awaited sequel with our full spoiler review of Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025). Before heading to Pandora, we break down the latest Avengers: Doomsday teaser strategy, react to new trailers including Disclosure Day and The Odyssey, and discuss major industry headlines... The post JAN 620: Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Review – Avengers: Doomsday Teaser (12/24/25) appeared first on The Jock and Nerd Podcast.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesFive Star Review from Parakleets: Love the show and longtime listener to the network! I'm a big fan of the MCU and very excited for Doomsday. I can't wait to see the teaser trailers, but can't figure out why y'all are so mad about it? Does podcasting make you guys more critical or cynical about the “biz”? As quite the opposite of being a filthy casual, I'll happily watch whatever trailers the MCU gives me and then judge the marketing promo after all the teasers are released.The Countdown BeginsThe hotly anticipated first teaser trailer for Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday has officially arrived and with it some substantial reveals. The trailer originally debuted attached ahead of select screenings of Avatar: Fire & Ash last weekend, as expected, before being released online Tuesday morning. Prior to Tuesday morning's drop, reputable film industry trades like Variety already wasted no time running will spoiler-filled headlines addressing the spoilers and the week preceding the official release was plagued with leaked versions of varying quality sweeping the Internet; so, we've waiting long enough ourselves - spoilers inbound if you've somehow managed to avoid them. The trailer is here whether we like the release strategy or not; what do we think of our first official look at Doomsday?Brainiac On the DancefloorJames Gunn's quest to find the DCU's Brainiac has come to end, as Lars Eidenger's begins as he's been cast to play the classic villain in Superman sequel: Man of Tomorrow. The German actor, largely unfamiliar to American audiences but acclaimed for European work like Babylon Berlin, will face off against David Corenswet's Man of Steel and Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor in the sequel releasing July 9, 2027. Gunn has a penchant for taking gambles on relative unknowns and launching them to stardom, can he do it again for such an iconic and formidable foe?A Blue Christmas on Pandora?The aforementioned James Cameron's Avatar: Fire & Ash ignited the box office with a $345 million global opening weekend but opened roughly 22 percent below The Way of Water's $441 million debut. Early projections suggest Fire & Ash will finish around 1.7 to 1.8 billion worldwide rather than joining the elite $2 billion club like its predecessors, raising serious questions about whether Disney will greenlight Avatar 4 and Avatar 5. Has Cameron's box office dominance finally cooled off, or will the holiday legs carry Fire & Ash to the heights The All-Mother demands?Putting the Eye in IMAXChristopher Nolan's The Odyssey dropped its eagerly awaited first official trailer, showcasing Matt Damon in the title role battling to return home after the Trojan War in an epic shot entirely with new IMAX film camera technology. The highly anticipated adaptation features a stacked cast including Tom Holland as Odysseus' son Telemachus and Anne Hathaway as his wife Penelope, with the film already selling out 70MM Imax tickets at AMC and Regal ahead of its July 17, 2026 release. Can Nolan's ambitious vision of Homer's classic tale deliver another legend at the Box Office like Oppenheimer?

It's a family affair as we make Jamie join us for Avatar: Fire and Ash and ponder the following: Who is responsible for making Tulkun jewelry? Is there Ozempic on Pandora? Which of his own filmography will James Cameron reference next?

With Drew Taylor sidelined by a nasty case of the Christmas crud, Jim Hill flies solo for this end-of-year edition of Fine Tooning. After a bit of seasonal vamping, Jim dives into animation news before kicking off the first half of a deep-dive holiday history lesson. This week's episode sets the stage for a story that begins with a modest Disney featurette and ends up triggering one of the biggest upheavals in the history of Walt Disney Feature Animation. NEWS • Avatar: Fire & Ash dominates the global box office with a massive $345 million opening weekend. • Angel Studios' David surprises with a strong $22 million domestic debut, outperforming several major animated releases. • Zootopia 2 continues its historic run, crossing $1.27 billion worldwide and exceeding the original film by more than $200 million. • The Academy reveals its Best Animated Short shortlist, with notable inclusions and at least one eyebrow-raising omission. • Adult Swim renews Haha, You Clowns for two additional seasons after an initially underestimated debut. FEATURE • The origins of Disney's 1978 animated featurette The Small One and why the studio once believed it would become a perennial holiday classic. • How Charles Tazewell's mid-20th-century holiday stories caught Disney's attention and lingered in development for nearly 15 years. • Behind-the-scenes tensions at Walt Disney Feature Animation in the late 1970s, including the controversial decision to hand directing duties to Don Bluth. • Why this seemingly small production planted the seeds for a massive creative and personnel shakeup soon to come.

#671: Welcome to Greatest Hits Week — five days, five episodes from our vault, spelling out F-I-I-R-E. Today's letter F stands for Financial Psychology. And we're diving deep with a conversation that changed how thousands of our listeners think about money. This episode originally aired in November 2022, but the insights feel more relevant than ever. Dr. Daniel Crosby reveals why your brain is your portfolio's worst enemy — and what you can do about it. ______ Money is the number one stressor in American lives. Every single year. Without exception. That's what Dr. Daniel Crosby discovered when he looked at decades of research from the American Psychological Association. In this rerun episode from our Greatest Hits Vault, Crosby joins us to reveal why your brain sabotages your investment decisions. He's both a clinical psychologist and behavioral finance expert. His findings will change how you think about money. Your body hijacks your financial judgment in strange ways. For example: People who need to pee become more risk-averse investors. It's called inhibitory spillover. When you're controlling your bladder, you also restrict your financial decisions. Here's another one: judges give harsher sentences when they're hungry. Thousands of court decisions prove it. The best predictor of whether you get jail time? When the judge last ate. We explore four behavioral risks that destroy wealth: ego, conservatism, attention, and emotion. Crosby shares data that stock pickers rarely hear: 74 percent of individual stocks have a lifetime expected return of zero. Three out of four companies eventually go bankrupt. Yet people keep betting on single stocks, dreaming they'll find the next Apple. Value investors suffer from depression and social isolation. Why? Because contrarian investing fights our deepest evolutionary wiring. Humans survived through cooperation. It's literally our only advantage over other animals. Bears have claws. Turtles have shells. We have teamwork. Crosby shares the Ash experiment, which shows how peer pressure warps reality. When nine people give the wrong answer about line lengths, three-quarters of participants follow along. New brain scans reveal something darker: social pressure physically changes how people see the lines. Their perception actually shifts. We discuss solutions through Crosby's "three E's": education, environment, and encouragement. Reading about biases won't fix them. You need systems and people. One powerful study: people who saw their children's photo for five seconds before banking saved twice as much money. The conversation reveals that money problems don't disappear with wealth. They just change form. Timestamps: Note: Timestamps will vary on individual listening devices based on dynamic advertising run times.
