Episode 69 - Murdock and Marvel: 2005 Part 2 It was a great year in comics, and maybe a turning point.  Movies, events and accolades abounded.  But somehow it all worries me a bit, in retrospect.  This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2005.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #67-78, Daredevil: Redemption #1-6, Daredevil: Father #1-4, Exiles #54, 56 and 62, Marvel Age Spider-Man #15, New Avengers #1-3 and 11, Powerless #6, Ultimate Elektra #4-5, Bullseye: Greatest Hits #4, Marvel Knight 4 #13, What if…Karen Page Had Lived? #1, Wolverine #23-24, Marvel Knights Spider-Man #11, Ultimates 2 #3, Hercules #1, Marvel Nemesis: The Imperfects #2-6, Marvel Team-Up #9-10, Daredevil vs Punisher #1-5, House of M #5-7, Ultimate Fantastic Four #22, Black Widow 2 #1-2, Defenders #4, Secret War #5, Weapon X: Days of Future Now #4 along with the Elektra: On the Rise, New Avengers: Pot of Gold, Ultimate Spider-Man and Marvel Visionaries: Stan Lee graphic novels  Writing: Brian Michael Bendis (#67-78)   Pencils: Alex Maleev (#67-78)  Inks: Alex Maleev (#67-78)  The year begins with the continuation of the Golden Age storyline that starts in December. In it, we learn immediately about Alexander Bont (the Kingpin before Wilson Fisk). He was released from prison and plans to get revenge on Daredevil and Matt Murdock for helping him go to prison. Across the 5 issues, we see just how powerful Bont was and how Daredevil got him arrested as well as how Murdock made sure he went to prison for most of his life. Bont enlists the reformed Gladiator to kidnap and beat Murdock before attempting to reveal his now widely known secret on the streets of Hell's Kitchen.  Meanwhile, Agent Del Toro of the FBI approaches Matt Murdock asking for help understanding why he and others are superheroes and how to come to terms with her inheriting the White Tiger Amulet from her now deceased uncle Hector Ayala. Murdock as Daredevil does help, helping her to learn to use the Amulet and her new powers – which comes in handy as Del Toro is the one who comes to Murdock's rescue from Gladiator and Bont.   After that, we get one of my favorite Bendis stories to date – Decalogue. In it, we see a support group, the Devil Among Us, trying to come to grips of their re-ins with our horned hero. Things start with a junkie telling how she started going straight after seeing her boyfriend and his enlisted help Bullet get taken down when they had designs for taking over for Kingpin after Daredevil's proclamation, he was the new Kingpin. We get a story from another group member about failing to honor his father's wish from prison to have Foggy Nelson killed.   From there, the stories and the group take a turn. The DD support group continues and the wife of a super-powered serial killer tells how DD tracked down her husband but refused to let him fall to his death; The killer's last intended victim whom DD saved turns out to be a member of the group and doesn't take kindly to the story of a troubled man plagued by demons.   The DD support group continues with the tale of one of Milla Donovan's friends who went to her wedding with Matt Murdock and whose daughter later killed herself after surviving a bank robbery by the Jester. A goading and mysterious member of the group pipes up and promises there are deep dark secrets in all these tales and points out that Matt Murdock is there in the group with them; And he is.  The story ends with Murdock confronting the Demon that had possessed the Jester (and is currently inhabiting the mysterious member of the group) and interfered with so many lives after which he tries to explain to the group why he does the things he does; For the first time, Matt Murdock publicly admits to outsiders that he is DD.  After that, we get one last story from Brian Michael Bendis that spills over into 2006 – The Murdock papers. In it, we see the Kingpin attempt to use the knowledge of Murdock's secret identity to leverage a pardon for all his crimes from the FBI all with Ben Urich unwilling assistance. Claiming he has physical evidence proving Murdock is Daredevil, he gets Urich to write a story saying Kingpin is willing to tell all – forcing the FBI to decide to pursue a case against Murdock rather than their very weak case against Fisk.   At the same time, Milla Donovan has a change of heart and wants to be with Murdock again – which he happily wants as well.  This leads to Elektra and Black Widow (along with the recently fired Agent Del Toro) trying to help Daredevil get the papers before the FBI does from Fisk's lawyer's office. There's a big confrontation that includes Bullseye and in which Daredevil gets shot and is briefly presumed dead. Fisk reveals that the papers were a lie and meant to flush Daredevil out so the FBI could arrest him.   The conclusion of this epic storyline (and the Bendis run on Daredevil) will be our spotlight for this year…  This Week's Spotlight: #80 February 2006 “The Murdock Papers Part 5” and Daredevil #81 March 2006 “The Murdock Papers Part 6” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway The beginning of an Golden Age?

In aflevering 213 van Nerd Culture duiken we diep in de wereld van films, series en nerdy nieuws! We bespreken de gloednieuwe Superman-trailer, de bevestiging van een Wonder Woman-film door James Gunn en het bizarre budget van DC's volgende grote titel.Ook komt Thunderbolts voorbij, dat ondanks hoge verwachtingen de box office niet haalt. Daarnaast checken we trailers van onder andere Space Balls 2, The Pickup en Eddington, én bespreken we updates over Warhammer 40K, The Twilight Zone, LEGO als mentale support en Marvel's toekomstplannen. Kortom: genoeg om je nerdhart sneller te laten kloppen!Ook Thunderbolts flopt aan de box officeOndanks sterke recensies en Bob Iger's lof als hét voorbeeld van Marvel's nieuwe “kwaliteit boven kwantiteit”-aanpak, blijkt Thunderbolts een financiële misser. Met een wereldwijde opbrengst van $371 miljoen blijft de film onder de break-evengrens van $425 miljoen. Marvel hoopte met deze kleinschaliger productie, vol B-personages uit Black Widow en Falcon and the Winter Soldier, het tij te keren na de moeizame release van Captain America: Brave New World.De flop lijkt Marvel tot heroverweging te dwingen. Volgens analisten is het publiek klaar met middelgrote superheldenteams. De studio richt zich nu op grote namen: Fantastic Four, Spider-Man 4 en Avengers: Secret Wars. Kleine films lijken te verdwijnen, tenzij Marvel ze durft te maken met bescheiden budgetten en als op zichzelf staande verhalen. De Multiverse Saga is nog niet ten einde, maar deze tegenvaller kan grote gevolgen hebben voor Marvel's koers.Wonder Woman in de maak bij James Gunn's DCJames Gunn heeft bevestigd dat er een nieuwe Wonder Woman-film in de maak is bij DC Studios. In een interview met Entertainment Weekly zei hij dat het project “langzaam maar zeker” vooruitgaat en momenteel geschreven wordt. Deze film staat los van de HBO Max-serie Paradise Lost, die als prequel dient en zich richt op de mythologie van Themyscira.Hoewel er nog geen regisseur of hoofdrolspeelster is aangekondigd, suggereert Gunn dat Wonder Woman opnieuw een centrale rol krijgt binnen de reboot van het DCU. Dat sluit aan bij CEO David Zaslavs visie op Superman, Batman, Supergirl en Wonder Woman als de vier pijlers van het nieuwe universum.Met Superman bijna klaar voor release en Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow net afgerond, lijken de contouren van DC's Trinity zich langzaam te vormen. De terugkeer van Diana Prince is nu officieel onderweg.Timestamps:00:10:51 Devil May Cry00:15:40 The Wild Robot 00:20:00 Sakamoto Days00:22:54 Superman Trailer00:27:39 Clark Kent is al drie jaar Superman00:30:38 Superman heeft een krankzinnig budget00:34:00 Space Balls 2 aangekondigd00:37:03 Robert Eggers komt met A Christmas Carol00:41:25 Bekijk de F1 the Movie trailer met haptic feedback op iPhone00:45:45 Wil jij Indiana Jones zijn zweep?00:47:33 Eddington Trailer00:51:21 Henry Cavill geeft update over Warhammer 40K00:54:38 Thunderbolts weet niet break-even te draaien00:57:00 Marvel Midnight Suns in de maak bij Disney00:58:19 Marvel Studios Cross-Sections00:59:23 LEGO voor mentale weerbaarheid?01:02:25 Leonardo DiCaprio en Ben Stiller rebooten The Twilight Zone01:04:45 The Pickup Trailer

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong dives into the chilling case of Judy Buenoano, a woman who earned the nickname “The Black Widow of Florida” after a string of suspicious deaths in her life. Over nearly a decade, Judy concealed her crimes behind a mask of composure and caregiving, using poison, drowning, and even car bombs to eliminate those closest to her. But when Judy's overconfidence led authorities straight to her, her elaborate web of lies began to unravel – leading to her demise. Candice explores how greed, compulsive lying, and a ruthless need for control allowed Judy to kill without remorse.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Episode 67 - Murdock and Marvel: 2004 Part 2 2004 was a relatively quiet year in comics, but there were some critical developments that made waves into the future.  Big movies, heroes back from the dead, and some important new faces! This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2004.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #54-66, Daredevil: Father #1, Daredevil 2099 #1, Punisher #35-37, Exiles #39 and #43, Spider-Man Unlimited #1, Elektra #35, Marvel 1602 #8, Secret War #2-3, Powerless #1-5, Ultimate Elektra #1-3  Writing: David Mack (#54-55), Brian Michael Bendis (#56-66)  Pencils: David Mack (#54-55), Alex Maleev (#56-64 and 66), Maleev, Michael Golden, Greg Horn, P. Craig Russell, Phil Hester, Chris Bachalo, Jae Lee, David Finch and Frank Quitely (#65)  Inks: David Mack (#54-55), Alex Maleev (#56-64 and 66), Maleev, Michael Golden, Greg Horn, P. Craig Russell, Phil Hester, Chris Bachalo, Jae Lee, David Finch and Frank Quitely (#65)  The year begins late in 2003, as we noted two weeks ago with our 2003 discussion, with the return of David Mack to writing and art and Maya Lopez in the book itself. She's returned to New York and is looking to reconnect with Daredevil. After he shares he's now with someone else, she instead visits with a chief her father knew and goes on a vision quest. There, with the help of a man shaped in the form of a wolverine, helps her understand a story her father used to tell her and helps her realize who she is. She goes back to Daredevil and bids him goodbye with a kiss.  From there, Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev return with a story called The King of Hell's Kitchen. We learn it's been a year since the confrontation between Kingpin and Daredevil and according to Ben Urich – Daredevil has been very busy cleaning up the kitchen while also taking some flack about his methods from other superheroes.   His latest dealings have been against the Yakuza and after a large battle Daredevil's gone missing. Milla Donovan reached out to Urich to find him and during their discussion we learned that 4 months ago she and Murdock got married. Urich finds Murdock and reunited the married couple – but not before suggesting the events of the last year are all his way coping with the death of Karen Page. With a little help from some super powered friends, Daredevil puts a stop to the Yakuza plot to take over Hell's Kitchen. Milla confronts Matt about his problems over the death of Karen Page and before leaving her husband.  Next we get storyline featuring another of Matt's love interests, the Black Widow, in a story called “The Widow”. Black Widow gets “called in” be SHIELD and realizing it's a trap – instead goes to visit Matt Murdock in New York hoping she can hide in plain sight. The pair take down Jigsaw and upon making bail – he goes back to Murdock asking permission to run crime through Hell's kitchen (since he's the new Kingpin). Matt isn't amused.  Turns out the hiding in plain sight didn't work as the two get shot at by a hired assassin while having lunch. The pair go after the assassin and after that Natasha finally shares the reason for her visit. Though the conversation is cut short as Jigsaw and his men have entered Murdock's home and Matt can't fight them as daredevil and revealing his lie. In the end, we learn a Bulgarian minister and Natasha's ex-husband were behind the ordeal and Matt begrudgingly gives Milla the annulment to their marriage.  In November, we get a HUGE 40th Anniversary Special issue. This story backtracks over the 1 year time period that Matt Murdock was outed as Daredevil that Ben Urich told us about during the King of Hell's Kitchen story earlier this year. To do so, the Bendis and Maleev called on a host of other artists to tell the story. This seems like the perfect book for this week's spotlight.  There is one more book this year, But it starts another storyline – so we'll save that for our 2005 discussion.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #65 November 2004 “The Universe” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Reading Marvel is great, but when you see Jean Grey die for the second time, Marvel has told you its story, and its time to start looking into other publishers.

Tim and Kevin charge head first into the void!  They talk John Walker love, if Superman has emotional trauma and what they got right with the second Black Widow.

Courtroom battles are reshaping the film industry in ways that affect everyone from A-list stars to streaming subscribers. When Scarlett Johansson sued Disney over Black Widow's simultaneous streaming release, she wasn't just fighting for her paycheck—she was challenging how talent gets compensated in the digital age. The resulting alleged $40 million settlement forced studios everywhere to rewrite contracts with streaming contingencies.Meanwhile, across the globe, Nigerian filmmaker Femi Adebayo made history with a judgment against digital pirates who cleverly misused his film's promotional materials. His three-year legal fight established crucial precedent for Nollywood creators and signaled that copyright protection extends beyond Hollywood's borders.Technology continues to create fascinating legal disruptions. When Quentin Tarantino announced plans to auction Pulp Fiction NFTs, Miramax quickly filed suit, arguing his 1993 contract never contemplated blockchain tokens. Though they settled privately, the dispute highlighted how decades-old agreements struggle to address technologies that didn't exist when the ink dried.The most provocative developments involve artificial intelligence. Buenos Aires prosecutors are challenging their own government for failing to regulate AI systems that clone faces and voices without consent, framing digital identity as a constitutional right. Simultaneously, Chinese courts ruled that images created with AI tools can receive copyright protection—but only when significant human creativity guides the process.From Japanese courts imposing record penalties against "fast movie" channels that condense films into unauthorized summaries to European judges limiting what information YouTube must share about copyright infringers, these cases collectively demonstrate that intellectual property law isn't just legal background noise—it's the script determining who controls the stories we love.Whether you're creating content, distributing it, or simply enjoying it as a fan, understanding these shifting legal frameworks provides a fascinating new lens through which to view your favorite films.

THE STRANGER THINGS SAGA CONTINUES!! Stranger Things Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With Stranger Things gearing up for an EPIC series finale comprised of 8 feature-length episodes, Tara & Andrew UNITE for their First Time Watching Stranger Things Season 1 Episodes 1 & 2 Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon as they return to the eerie town of Hawkins, Indiana, in Netflix's breakout sci-fi horror series Stranger Things. Created by the Duffer Brothers, the show weaves 1980s nostalgia with otherworldly terror, following Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder, Black Swan, Heathers) and Chief Jim Hopper (David Harbour, Hellboy, Black Widow) as they race to uncover the truth behind Will's disappearance. Meanwhile, Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard, It, Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin, Concrete Cowboy), Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo, Prank Encounters), and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown, Emmy-nominated for Enola Holmes and Godzilla: King of Monsters) forge a bond born of courage and curiosity. In Chapter Three: “Holly, Jolly,” Joyce's frantic attempt to communicate with Will via blinking Christmas lights delivers chills—and a haunting message from the Upside Down. Eleven's flashbacks intensify as her past in the lab unravels. On the home front, Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer, Yes, God, Yes) and brother Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton, Locke & Key) begin piecing together the town's strange events, setting the stage for unlikely alliances. Chapter Four: “The Body” sees the town reeling when a body surfaces in the lake, triggering a grim funeral—but our heroes aren't convinced. Mike, Lucas, Dustin, and Eleven come together in the Hawkins Middle School shed, where Eleven's telekinetic prowess shines as she conjures a tow truck in a snowy parking lot. Joyce's roller-brimmed light séance and Hopper's cabin standoff ramp up the tension, while Nancy and Jonathan's stakeout delivers pulse-pounding suspense under Hallow's Eve skies.

They discuss the contrasting characters of Yelena and Natasha, the lack of emotional stakes, and the disappointing representation of female characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The conversation also touches on the impact of Black Widow's death and the legacy of the film, concluding with a call for better-written female characters in future Disney productions.----------Highlights:0:00 ‘Black Widow' Introduction3:51 Opening Scene6:18 Natasha Romanoff: A Compelling Protagonist?14:00 Dreykov and Taskmaster16:39 Female Empowerment and Hollywood25:01 Side Characters31:11 Romanoff's Problems Before Black Widow34:28 Themes and Messages35:46 Lasting Impact of Black Widow#blackwidow #natasharomanoff #yelenabolova #alexeishostakov #redguardian #alostplot #redroom #dreykov #taskmaster #disney #marvel #marvelstudios #mcu #film #filmthoughts #femaleleads #femaleempowerment #thunderbolts #assassins #assassin 

The conversation delves into a thrilling narrative involving ancient Egyptian relics, a mysterious curse, and a murder mystery intertwined with supernatural elements. The characters explore the implications of their past actions related to an archaeological discovery, leading to a series of events that reveal threats of vengeance and deadly encounters with poisonous spiders. The story unfolds with suspense and intrigue, culminating in a chilling confrontation with the unknown.takeawaysThe allure of ancient relics often comes with dark histories.Curses and legends can have real psychological effects on people.The consequences of greed can lead to tragic outcomes.Vengeance can drive individuals to irrational actions.The presence of danger can be masked by familiarity.Murder mysteries often reveal deeper truths about human nature.Supernatural elements can heighten the tension in storytelling.The symbolism of spiders can represent fear and death.Friendship can be tested in times of crisis.The past can haunt individuals in unexpected ways.Sound Bites"He who was dead is returning.""We could spy the world!""I was very young.""It's the bite of a poisonous insect.""What are you doing?"The Shadow is a collection of serialized dramas originating in 1930s pulp novels and later expanding to various media. The titular character has been featured in radio dramas, pulp magazines, comic books, television, serials, video games, and films. Initially created as a radio show narrator, The Shadow was developed into a literary character by Walter B. Gibson in 1931. The radio drama, featuring Orson Welles, premiered in 1937. The Shadow character was depicted as having the power to manipulate men's minds, making them unable to see him. The radio program's iconic introduction, voiced by Frank Readick, and accompanied by a musical theme, has become a part of American idiom. Each episode concluded with a reminder that crime does not pay and The Shadow knows.Egyptian relics, pharaoh's curse, murder mystery, black widow spider, ancient curses, vengeance, archaeology, supernatural, suspense, thriller

Episode 63 - Murdock and Marvel: 2002 Part 2 The world was a dangerous and frightening place, and America was trying to come to terms with how to move forward, both internally and on the world stage.  And comics showed a lot of that anxiety.  But even so, 2002 was a big year for all involved in the comics world, as sales of actual honest to goodness comic books actually rose 10% this year to 230 Million dollars, the first time that the industry had seen that occur since 1993, when comic sales had peaked at around 850 Million.  And even as traffic in stores was increasing, Hollywood was starting to understand how to make comic properties work on the screen, both small and large.    This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2002.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances:  Daredevil #27-38, Daredevil: Yellow #6, Paradise X: Heralds #1-2, Elektra #6, Giant Size Mini-Marvels: Starring Spidey #1, Marvel Knight: Millennial Visions #1, Peter Parker: Spider-Man #39 and 41, Essential Marvel Team-Up #1, Paradise X #0-5, Marvel Knight #2-6, Marvel Knights Double Shot #1 and 4, Amazing Spider-Man #2, Ultimate Spider-Man Special #1, Order #5-6, Spider-Man/Daredevil #1, Marville #2 along with Marvel Masterworks: The Submariner #1 and Daredevil: Yellow, Fantastic First, Life and Death of Captain Marvel graphic novels  Writing: Brian Michael Bendis (#27-38)   Pencils: Alex Maleev (#27-37), Manuel Gutierrez (#38)  Inks: Alex Maleev (#27-37), Manuel Gutierrez (#38)  The year for Matt Murdock and Daredevil begins with a 6-part story called Underboss that began in December 2001. In that story we see a bombing attempt on Matt Murdock's life just outside of the courthouse and we see Sammy Silke and several of the Kingpin's other bosses repeatedly stab the kingpin leave him dying on the floor.  So, who put a hit out on Matt Murdock and who is this Sammy Silke who rallied Kingpin's underlings against him? We start to get answers about this over the next 5 books through flashbacks while the story continues forward. Silke is the son of a crime boss in Chicago who needed to get out of town. He came to New York and went to work for the Kingpin – but when the Kingpin wouldn't let him put a hit on Matt Murdock – He caught wind of Murdock's seemly open secret within the Kingpin network and set in motion a plan to take out Murdock and Kingpin with the help of Kingpin's son – Richard.  Vanessa Fisk finds out her husband has been stabbed and in critical condition (and not killed as reports claim). She goes to New York and despite objections from his doctor, wants Kingpin taken to the airport and flown out of the country. She also orders those that betrayed Kingpin to be killed -including her son Richard whom she visits and kills herself.   Underboss ends with Silke, fearing for his life, turning himself into the FBI and asking for protection. When the FBI refuse, he tells them Murdock's secret identity.    From there, things start to really go crazy for Matt Murdock. An FBI agent, needing some cash, sells Murdock's secret to the Daily Globe (the Bugle's rival paper) and it's ran as a front-page story and a media circus descents on Murdock's brownstone.   Ben Urich and Peter Parker tell J. Jonah Jameson the DD secret identity story is a hoax but both refuse to tell him who DD really is; Foggy tries to get Matt to give up his life as DD. Seeing the story, Mr. Hyde shows up and starts destroying Murdock's house before Daredevil and Spider-Man can intervene.  After some time away, Matt Murdock holds a press conference denying he's Daredevil. We'll jump into more detail about that during this week's spotlight.  After a rooftop chat with Elektra at the urging of Black Widow, it looks like things will be settle with the Daily Globe after Daredevil visits the FBI agent who gave up his secret, but then the Globe owner Rosenthal nixes the deal because Murdock was being so smug about the agreement.  The year ends with part 1 of the next named storyline, The Trail of the Century, which we'll talk about in 2003.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil volume 2 #36 October 2002 “One Hundred Percent Untrue” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Big Box Office does not necessarily translate to big bucks at the comic shop.

In 2025, do the MCU doldrums continue, or is Jake Schreier's Thunderbolts a return to form for a flagging superhero universe? Does it rise above its grating marketing to deliver something with actual, emotional honesty? With Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, and Lewis Pullman at the helm of a misfit gang of anti-heroes, the chances aren't bad. Tune in for our full review.

This week we review and discuss "Black Widow" as we get ready for “Thunderbolts*”. What controversy surrounds this film? Does it have rewatchability?

Thunderbolts #1 (1997)It's time to talk about the origins of the MCU's latest offering as we look at the very first issue of the THUNDERBOLTS!Of course, there is the big undercover villain twist at the end here but who can blame them when Onslaught eliminated all of our heroes and all that's left is Spider-Man, Daredevil and (maybe) Blade. We got Baron Zemo masquerading as a capoeira-slinging Homelander, Techno smuggling in his contraband robot bartenders and so many free-floating goatees you'll think you're trapped in a cable-ready erotic thriller.Also, Meteorite gets judgy, NYC ladies get thirsty of Atlas and Black Widow shows up dressed like she's late for work at a print publishing firm.All this plus Jen and Shawn cover some recent purchases from Free Comic Book Day.*** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:11:51 ***Promos: CELLULOID HEROES (https://open.spotify.com/show/5G4VxlMzO0yy7Rub7MPUzx?si=851e84cb62b24949)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

This week, even more things coming to the Disneyland Resort for the 70th, a sneak peek into the Walt animatronic, a new character coming to Avengers Campus, bananas are invading Disneyland later this month, fire heroes were honored, new seating was added to New Orleans Square, we talk to Artist Jerrod Maruyama, and more! Please support the show if you can by going to https://www.dlweekly.net/support/. Check out all of our current partners and exclusive discounts at https://www.dlweekly.net/promos. News: More and more keeps being announced for the 70th Anniversary of Disneyland. A new light, sound, and projection moment will be coming to Carthay Circle and Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure. The moment will be set to the tune “Celebrate Happy,” the theme song for the anniversary. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/guide-to-the-70th-anniversary-at-disneyland-resort/ We have some new details about the Walt Disney animatronic experience coming to the Opera House in July. Various media outlets were invited to the Imagineering campus to see the life-sized concept sculpt, and to learn more about the show. Walt's voice in the show will be his own, with clips of his actual voice were painstakingly assembled from interviews. The animatronic itself is very lifelike. The posture, facial structure, and skin texture are “uncanny” according to MiceChat. – https://www.micechat.com/414430-disneyland-walt-disney-a-magical-life-revealed/ Another character from the Marvel Universe will be dropping by Avengers Campus for a limited time. Red Guardian, who first appeared in Black Widow, and is featured in the new movie Thunderbolts, will be meeting and greeting with guests. You can be sure to find him by checking the Disneyland App. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/meet-the-super-amazing-red-guardian-at-avengers-campus/ If you are going to be in Avengers Campus heading into Cars Land, or the other way around in the near future, be aware that the path between the two by Luigi's is closed. This has been done for construction of a new restroom facility to compliment the new additions to Avengers Campus currently under construction. – https://www.micechat.com/414422-disneyland-news-70th-anniversary-improvements-red-guardian-appearance-store-changes/ May the 4th was this weekend and the Disney Parks Blog shared a recipe from A Galaxy Far, Far Away. The Felucian Falafel and Hummus Garden Spread from Docking Bay 7 may take some planning – with one step taking from 12-18 hours – but is sure to be a tasty treat! – https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/disney-eats-exclusive-plant-based-star-wars-day-recipe/ Later this month, a fun team will be visiting the parks. The Savannah Bananas, a baseball team similar to the Harlem Globetrotters, will be at Disneyland on May 28, 2025. Special entertainment moments, and themed food and beverages will be on hand to celebrate. – https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/savannah-bananas-disneyland-may-28/ On Monday, May 5, there was a Heroes Salute Cavalcade to honor the first responders of the fires back in January. The Heroes ticket also kicked off to coincide with the cavalcade. – https://www.micechat.com/414422-disneyland-news-70th-anniversary-improvements-red-guardian-appearance-store-changes/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHGVwxv9H1E A rather abrupt change has come to New Orleans Square. The Port Royal Curios and Curiosities shop, right next to the Royal Street Veranda, has been changed into a seating area for diners. Since the shop duplicated the merchandise which can be found at Madame Leota's “Somewhere Beyond” shop, the old location was not needed. The decor was not updated much, except to turn it into a jazzy looking speakeasy.

On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we're breaking down a major revelation from Thunderbolts writer Eric Pearson—including the exact moment the decision was made to pivot toward The New Avengers! Why did Marvel Studios shift gears with this title change, and what does it mean for the future of the MCU? Join Kristian and the team as they discuss the behind-the-scenes conversation between Pearson and Kevin Feige that transformed the Thunderbolts team into a new iteration of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. From Yelena's pitch to Valentina to the Russo Brothers directing the post-credits scene on the Avengers: Doomsday set, we're covering all the crucial details. Plus, we explore Pearson's additional comments on Blade, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and a tantalizing tease involving Galactus!

Marvel's not-so-superteam of rejects has finally hit the big screen... and do they prove to be enough to save the day? We've met characters like the second Black Widow, Red Guardian, The Winter Soldier, U.S. Agent, Taskmaster, and Ghost on the big screen before. How about The Sentry? Who is he and what does his appearance mean for the MCU? Who are the Thunderbolts anyways and what are their comic book origins? Most importantly: does the movie work? There's a lot to talk about with this one so I've got Comic Book Encyclopedia Ian Kerner himself here to chop things up with me and deliver the deep cuts!

Frank and Jonathan break down Marvel's surprise decision to market Thunderbolts as The New Avengers and share a spoiler‑free then spoiler‑filled review of the film. They explore its focus on mental health, standout character arcs, and smaller‑scale storytelling that still packs emotional weight. The episode also features an in‑depth interview with producer Caitlin Delaney, who explains what a service producer really does, how to launch movies on tight budgets, and why mentorship shortens every filmmaker's learning curve. The hosts wrap with the latest entertainment headlines and weekly streaming picks.

Cover Price: $4.99 Release Date: May 14, 2025 SOMETIMES YOU BREAK THE INTERNET-AND SOMETIMES THE INTERNET BREAKS YOU! AT LAST-THE TRUE STORY OF THE VIRAL HOAX SO INSANE IT COULD ONLY BE TOLD AS A COMIC BOOK! From the honestly pretty impressive mind of multi-hyphenate writer-comedian-actor-musician Dave Hill (Tasteful Nudes) and breakout artist Artyom Topilin (I Hate This Place) comes the SHOCKINGLY TRUE, TERRIFYINGLY HILARIOUS, AND ONLY MODESTLY EXAGGERATED tale of how one stand-up comedian forged a secret online identity as America's first true black metal icon . . . and accidentally started an international incident that almost wiped Gary, Indiana, off the map! Two decades ago, Dave Hill and his first band set out to rock their high school auditorium in a fury of heavy metal hellfire. They failed miserably. Years later, Dave has made a new life for himself as a rising star in the New York comedy scene-a career where getting laughed at on stage is the entire point and not just a tragic consequence. But when Dave's metal ambitions are reawakened by the über self-serious "satanic" genre of Norwegian black metal, Dave creates a ridiculously hyperbolic alter ego and a band to match that, together, reignite the spark of his forgotten rock 'n' roll fantasy. But when Dave's internet-fueled rumors of Witch Taint-a metal band "so extreme that you must remove all sharp objects from the immediate area" when their music is played-spreads all the way to Europe, his story will spiral dangerously out of control as Norway's most extreme black metal butchers come to reap their revenge . . . and put everything and everyone Dave holds dear in the crosshairs (of their axes, which, truth be told, don't actually have crosshairs, but, hey, it's a metaphor).
