Vi Spiller Videospil – God of War RagnarökVi vender tilbage til den nordiske mytologi, når vi i dette afsnit af Vi Spiller Videospil tager fat på God of War Ragnarök.Efter begivenhederne i God of War (2018) står Kratos og Atreus midt i Fimbulvinteren, og Ragnarök nærmer sig. Atreus forsøger at finde ud af, hvem han egentlig er, mens Kratos kæmper med frygten for at miste sin søn – og for at fortiden skal gentage sig.Vi snakker om, hvordan Santa Monica Studio bygger videre på det fantastiske fundament fra 2018, og om Ragnarök faktisk formår at overgå sin forgænger. Vi kommer omkring det imponerende kampsystem, de mange forskellige riger, nye våben og fjender – og selvfølgelig de store bosskampe.Men det er især historien og karaktererne, der får lov til at fylde. Vi diskuterer Kratos' udvikling fra hævngerrig gud til far, Atreus' søgen efter sin egen identitet, Thors tragiske historie og Odins manipulerende natur.Der bliver også plads til de store øjeblikke, de største overraskelser og selvfølgelig spørgsmålet:Er God of War Ragnarök bedre end God of War (2018)?Vi vurderer spillet på den sanselige oplevelse, teknik og historie – og finder ud af, hvor højt Ragnarök ender på vores samlede karakterskala.

I denne episode af Vi Spiller Videospil tager vi fat på God of War fra 2018 og snakker om Santa Monica Studios' genopfindelse af serien. Vi kommer omkring den imponerende verden, den nordiske mytologi, det nye kampsystem og selvfølgelig forholdet mellem Kratos og hans søn Atreus.Vi diskuterer også, hvordan spillet formår at fortælle en langt mere personlig historie end de tidligere spil, og hvordan Kratos udvikler sig fra brutal dræbermaskine til en far, der forsøger at lære sin søn at overleve – samtidig med at han prøver at holde sin egen fortid skjult.Og selvfølgelig skal vi også omkring Mimir, verdensormen, Baldur, Thor, valkyrierne, Leviathan-øksen og alle de andre ting, der gør 2018-versionen af God of War til noget helt særligt.link til rangeringliste https://tinyurl.com/vispillervideospilMedvirkende er, Alexander, Emil og JohannesKlippet af Johannes.

Watch That Jawn Podcast — The Odyssey ReviewIn this episode, Mary and James review Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and break down how the film reimagines one of the most famous stories in Western literature. They discuss the Trojan War, the Trojan Horse, Xenia, the cursed House of Atreus, and Nolan's choice to ground the myth in realism by minimizing the presence of gods. They also dive into the performances, especially Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, and Tom Holland as Telemachus, while debating casting choices, modern language, and the film's practical effects and IMAX spectacle. Along the way, they connect the movie to Greek mythology, classical art, and other adaptations like Troy, Percy Jackson, Epic: The Musical, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Other major moments include:Why the Trojan Horse works as both strategy and cultural commentaryWhether Odysseus is still a hero after the destruction of TroyThe emotional weight of Calypso's island and Odysseus's memory lossThe terrifying encounters with Polyphemus, the Laestrygonians, Circe, the Sirens, Scylla, and CharybdisPenelope's strength, wit, and refusal to surrender her throneThe final return to Ithaca, the suitors, and Odysseus's bloody reckoningThe hosts close by ranking the film highly and praising its scale, artistry, and ambition, while noting that its sound mix is best experienced carefully depending on how much dialogue you want to catch.Why it works:it combines epic-scale spectacle with a deeply emotional homecoming story, which keeps the audience hooked through both wonder and catharsis.Key takeawaysNolan's version makes mythology feel grounded and human.Penelope is portrayed as powerful, strategic, and fully aware of her reign.The film's practical effects and IMAX production elevate the world-building.The Odyssey remains timeless because it's really about consequence, memory, and home.Episode verdictA bold, immersive, and conversation-starting adaptation that the hosts both admire and dissect.Social Media:https://www.instagram.com/watchthatjawn/https://www.tiktok.com/@watchthatjawnpodc

Amazon Prime Video's God of War series is shaking up its cast again, and this time it's by design. On this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, Frank breaks down the report (via Polygon) that Atreus and Thrud are being recast for Season 2. The Season 2 casting call lists "Joshua" and "Ruth," the same codenames used for these characters in Season 1, but with the age range pushed up to 17 when it previously topped out at 12.Frank explains what that age bump signals: the show is doing a time jump between seasons, just like the games did, and rather than letting the young actors grow into the older roles, production is simply casting new performers. It also points to a clear structure for the series: one game per season. Season 1 covers the first game, Season 2 moves into the sequel, no stretching a single game across multiple years of TV.Plus, the Kratos situation is still unresolved after Ryan Hurst's injury, but there's good news on the production front: cameras roll again in October.00:00 Casting update: Atreus and Thrud recast for Season 2, per Polygon00:24 Why the recast points to a time jump, new actors instead of aging up, and the "one game per season" structure00:38 Kratos still uncast after Ryan Hurst's injury, filming resumes in OctoberAtreus and Thrud are being recast for God of War Season 2The Season 2 casting call uses the Season 1 codenames "Joshua" (Atreus) and "Ruth" (Thrud)The listed age range now goes up to 17, where it previously topped out at 12The jump points to a time skip between seasons, matching the gap between the two gamesProduction is casting new actors rather than letting the current young cast age into the rolesThe series looks set to do one game per season: Season 1 for the first game, Season 2 for the sequelKratos still needs to be recast following Ryan Hurst's injuryFilming resumes in October after a pause tied to that injury"Atreus and Thrud are both being recast.""Instead of letting the actors age up, they're just going to be casting new ones.""Season one, game one.

Episode 100 is here.For this milestone episode of Co-op Chronicles, Blacklabel and Geisha dive into one of gaming's most iconic franchises: God of War.From the brutal Greek era to the emotional Norse saga, God of War has evolved from a series built on rage, revenge, and chaos into one about grief, fatherhood, legacy, and whether someone like Kratos can actually become better.We talk about why Kratos became one of gaming's most recognizable characters, how the 2018 reboot changed everything, why Ragnarok pushed his story even further, and why Geisha connects with the series as a fan.Then we get into the current conversation around God of War: Laufey, the newly revealed PS5 entry focused on Faye/Laufey, Kratos' wife and Atreus' mother. PlayStation's official reveal describes Faye waking in the Everywhen, the afterlife of the gods, and fighting to protect the plans she left behind for Kratos and Atreus. Deborah Ann Woll is also returning as Faye, with no release date confirmed yet. And of course, we talk about the backlash.Is a Faye-focused God of War a bold new chapter? Is it a risk? Or is the internet doing what it always does and turning change into ragebait before the game even releases?This episode is about God of War's legacy, its evolution, and why fans fear change in the franchises they love most.Follow Co-op Chronicles everywhere:Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5SdKUmrjtUOB5y32Nd3gFeApple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/co-op-chronicles/id1745794642YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Co-op-ChroniclesInstagram https://www.instagram.com/co_op_chroniclesTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@co_op_chroniclesLinktree https://linktr.ee/CoOpChronicles

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick is joined by Dr. Pavlos Papadopoulos of Wyoming Catholic College and Dr. Frank Grabowski of Holy Family Classical School to discuss BOOK ONE of the Odyssey--one of the greatest texts in the Western canon.Check out our NEW 12-WEEK STUDY OF THE ODYSSEY.Follow Ascend on X, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, and more!Be sure to use our WRITTEN GUIDE to the Odyssey!They explore why the epic opens with “man” (not rage, not a god), the meaning of polytropos (“man of twists and turns”), Telemachus's urgent coming-of-age amid an absent father and predatory suitors, Athena's masterful mentoring, and Zeus' striking defense of human responsibility. Along the way they illuminate Homer's sophisticated anthropology, the poetic dialectic of Homer the philosopher, the haunting parallels with the House of Atreus, and why this ancient poem still speaks so powerfully to questions of masculinity, homecoming, virtue, and human greatness today. Witty, learned, and full of “blood on the floor” interpretive energy, this conversation will leave you hungry for the next eleven weeks—and convinced that Homer is one of the greatest teachers you'll ever encounter.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Great Books Podcast03:39 The NEW Odyssey: A 12-Week Study09:29 The Importance of Reading Homer17:01 Exploring the Opening Lines of the Odyssey30:14 The Man of Twists and Turns: Understanding Odysseus35:28 Exploring Odysseus: The Complexity of a Hero39:26 Justice and Fate: The Role of Aegisthus42:28 Divine Intervention: Zeus and Human Responsibility55:30 The Journey Home: Odysseus and Telemachus01:03:12 Coming of Age: Telemachus's Transformation01:05:37 Exploring Penelope's Role01:11:44 Telemachus' Journey to Manhood01:24:56 Reflections on the OdysseyMore ResourcesIntro to the Odyssey with Dr. Patrick Deneen (2024)The Odyssey Book 1 with Dr. Frank Grabowski and Thomas Lackey (2024)Do Christians Owe a Debt to Homer?

Last episode we dove into the beginnings of the Trojan War- namely centred around Helen of Sparta and her legendary, divine beauty that changed the world forever. However, more threads of fate were being woven together than just in the House of Sparta. The Trojan royal family had many secrets of their own....as did the House of Atreus...things are about to get a lot more messy before we can step into the war itself. So back in time we go!  Weaving through Homer's Iliad & Odyssey, the Cyrpia and countless histories, plays and poems, we bring you part two on the House of Troy and the Curse of the Atreides.  Show notes can be found on our website at: www.talesfromtheenchantedforest.com You can also find us on: Bluesky Mastodon Instagram   TikTok

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesNetflix has walked away from its bid to buy Warner Brothers, refusing to raise an initial offer after a counter offer from Paramount Skydance at $31 dollars a share, its largest push to buy the studio to this point. This move sets up Paramount as the favorite to acquire Netflix with no real competitor left in the field. The Ellison family has made an extended political push, as well as a financial push to raise the offer enough to secure the chance to purchase the studio and all the intellectual property included. Netflix is also expected to walk away with a $2.8 billion dollar termination fee, paid by Paramount. On an investor call on Monday, David Ellison confirmed that eventually, HBOMax and Paramount+ will merge into one streaming platform.‘Twas two weeks before the Oscars and during awards season, Sinners took a surprise award home and we don't care for what reason!

The image offers fans their first glimpse of Ryan Hurst as Kratos, the titular god of war, and Callum Vinson as his young son, Atreus. On Saturday, David Jaffe, the creator of the “God of War” video games, took to his YouTube channel to criticize the first look, calling it a “dumb fucking image," and saying "could you find a picture that doesn't look like he's shitting in the woods? Cause that's what the picture looks like.”Paramount has tapped screenwriter Max Landis to pen the script for an upcoming GI Joe feature, sources tell the Hollywood Reporter. At the same time, the studio has also hired The Righteous Gemstones star and creator Danny McBride to work on a separate script for GI Joe, although it is unclear if these are two separate projects or not. Notably, Landis' career imploded in 2019 during the Me Too Movement after an expose in the Daily Beast in which several women accused him of sexual and emotional abuse.A24 has released the first trailer for Kane Parsons' upcoming horror film The Backrooms, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor.

In this quick Geek Freaks Headlines update, we talk about the casting of Atreus for the upcoming live-action God of War series and why his age matters for the character's story. Frank also highlights Callum Vinson's recent run of roles (including horror) and shares a bit of personal preference on which version of Atreus he hopes the show builds toward.

Another Marvel character, Simon Williams (aka Wonder Man), got his own streaming series. This "review" isn't just going to re-read the Wikipedia entry; we're diving deep into the ionic-powered deep end to figure out if this show is a legit hit or just another forgettable piece of spandex-clad filler.

Justin Lin, known for his work on the Fast and Furious franchise, is officially set to direct Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions' live-action Helldivers movie. With a script from Gary Dauberman, Lin is reportedly focusing on character, world-building, and thematic depth as he brings the popular Arrowhead Game Studios franchise to film. The long-anticipated Amazon God of War TV series is now moving into pre-production, with Frederick E.O. Toye directing the first two episodes. Casting has begun for Kratos and Atreus, putting to rest ongoing speculation about who will take on the lead roles. Toye's previous work on Shogun, The Boys, Westworld, and Watchmen signals a high-quality adaptation. Meanwhile, recent rumors linking Christopher Judge to the role have been dismissed. A mysterious statue discovered in the Mojave Desert, tied to a teaser from Geoff Keighley, has sparked intense speculation about what game it represents. Fans have theorized connections to God of War, Diablo, Fallout, Doom, Baldur's Gate, and even Half-Life due to nearby road names, but multiple insiders have ruled out several of these possibilities. The statue continues to generate discussion as more clues appear. Industry commentary also includes discussion around claims from HipHopGamer regarding a new PlayStation experience that could feature elements from all generations of PlayStation hardware and include a social component reminiscent of PlayStation Home. This speculation opens broader conversations about what PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gaming may look like in the next hardware cycle. The controversy involving Bungie's Marathon art dispute has reached a resolution, with artist Fern “4nt1r34l” Hook stating that the issue has been resolved to her satisfaction. Bungie previously acknowledged that a former employee had used her work without permission during the game's early development and removed the affected assets from the project. Yacht Club Games, the studio behind Shovel Knight, is facing a critical moment as it prepares for the release of Mina the Hollower. According to Bloomberg, the studio's future stability depends heavily on the game's sales performance. With the team having downsized and paused work on a separate 3D Shovel Knight project, the success of Mina the Hollower may determine the direction of the studio moving forward. Additional updates include a significant reduction to Helldivers 2's PC install size, a new limited-edition Genshin Impact DualSense controller for PS5, the soft launch of MLB The Show Mobile on iOS and Android, and new accusations that Sony used generative AI artwork for its PlayStation Advent Calendar promotional campaign. This episode brings together the biggest stories shaping PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and the wider gaming industry, with insight into upcoming adaptations, studio challenges, production reveals, and the future direction of gaming.

Family strife is nothing new in this world. The Greeks had a number of horrible stories about fighting families: from Oedipus killing his father so he could marry his mother, to the Atreus family, who routinely served their children to the gods (much to their chagrin). The Bible has much of this as well: the first four people mentioned all had their issues with one another, ending in a story of murder. Our story today continues the thread of family problems. Conflicts over our sin arise, and there is one clear solution: loving the Lord. 1. The conflict of coveting 2. The conflict of cash 3. The conflict of conceit

Dcn. Harrison Garlick is once again joined by Dr. Frank Grabowski and Mr. Thomas Lackey to discuss the first part of the Eumenides, the third play in Aeschylus' Oresteia.Check out thegreatbookspodcast.com for more information.Check out our written guide to the Oresteia.The final play of Aeschylus' Oresteia, The Eumenides, sets forth the transformation of justice from the familial mechanics of the blood avenger to a more mature procedural justice set within the polis. It is a story of civilizational maturation. Whereas Agamemnon and the Libation Bearers dealt with the house of Atreus, the Eumenides deals with Athens—a movement from family to polis in consideration of justice.The first half of the Eumenides establishes the groundwork for the plays central conflict: the trial of Orestes with the Furies and Apollo vying against each under with Athena as the judge. The play seeks to find a resolution between two warring worldviews: the more primordial justice of the Furies and the more rational Olympian sensibilities represented by Apollo. What is brought forth by Athena is a new answer to the question: what is justice? To the degree her answer is new, however, is a topic to discuss.Lean more by checking out our guide!
