What does this mean for the future of 007? Will we see a more thoughtful, visually immersive take on the legendary spy? We break it all down with excitement and speculation.

In aflevering 215 van Nerd Culture pakken we weer een bomvolle lading reviews en nerdnieuws uit. We duiken in F1 the Movie en de Super Mario Bros Movie, bespreken Iron Heart, Sinners, The Bear seizoen 4 en nog veel meer series en films die we hebben gekeken.In het nieuws schuiven grote namen voorbij: Denis Villeneuve neemt James Bond over, Michael Bay keert terug naar Transformers en Hideo Kojima laat los hoe hij Death Stranding naar film en anime vertaalt. En jawel: Adi Shankar gaat Duke Nukem eindelijk de comeback geven die hij verdient.Denis Villeneuve regisseert nieuwe James BondDenis Villeneuve, de veelgeprezen regisseur achter Dune, Blade Runner 2049 en Arrival, gaat officieel de volgende James Bond-film maken voor Amazon MGM Studios. Villeneuve noemt Bond “heilig terrein” en wil de rijke traditie van de 007-films eren én een frisse weg inslaan voor toekomstige missies. Hij groeide zelf op met de iconische films en noemt dit project een enorme eer en verantwoordelijkheid. Met producenten Amy Pascal en David Heyman aan zijn zijde krijgt de franchise na No Time to Die een volledig nieuw hoofdstuk. Nu blijft vooral de grote vraag hangen: wie kruipt er in het strak gesneden pak van de nieuwe Bond?Hideo Kojima op afstand betrokken bij Death Stranding filmHideo Kojima werkt samen met A24 aan de live-action verfilming van zijn game Death Stranding, maar blijft bewust op afstand. In plaats van elke creatieve beslissing te sturen, wil hij de regisseur Michael Sarnoski (Pig) en het team juist vrijheid geven. “Ik moet deze mensen vertrouwen,” zegt hij, hoewel hij zijn “baby” wel in de gaten houdt. Interessant genoeg vroeg Kojima Sarnoski om Metal Gear Solid 2 en verder niet te spelen, om zijn visie niet te vertroebelen. Naast de film komt er ook een Death Stranding anime aan. Kojima's bizarre wereld blijft dus volop groeien.Duke Nukem keert terug als anime?Castlevania-producent Adi Shankar heeft officieel de rechten op Duke Nukem gekocht en belooft een compromisloze adaptatie. Volgens Shankar kan Duke nooit een “gepolijst merk” worden; zodra een groot bedrijf zich ermee bemoeit, gaat de rauwe, lompe geest verloren. Hij ziet Duke Nukem als een pure middelvinger naar de gevestigde orde — precies het soort chaos waar zijn Bootleg Universe om bekendstaat. Na Castlevania en Devil May Cry wil Shankar Amerikaanse animatie en gameverfilmingen opnieuw brutaal en grensverleggend maken. Wat Legendary ooit probeerde, lijkt hiermee passé: Duke Nukem is eindelijk in de juiste, volkomen gestoorde handen.Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #21500:05:02 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd?00:08:31 F1 the Movie00:15:49 Super Mario Bros Movie00:18:01 Iron Heart00:28:55 Sinners00:31:30 Lucifer, Slow Horses S4, Sinners, MobLand00:35:36 The Bear S400:41:13 Deep Cover00:44:53 Dept.

¿Os acordáis cuando el cine nos prometía coches voladores, trajes plateados y robots acabaran con la humanidad ? Pues resulta que llegó el futuro… y seguimos atascados en el metro, con el horno sin limpiar y diciéndole “gracias” a Alexa para que no se enfade.MARIA ; El cine ha sido una ventana para explorar futuros imaginarios, con predicciones que a veces rozan la realidad, Los simpsons ganan por goleada y bueno otras que se quedan en sueños o pesadillas imposibles. y menos mal.. pues de estás vamos a hablar..Películas que nos prometieron un futuro con androides súper avanzados y lo único que tenemos es una Roomba que se queda atrapada debajo del sofá.

In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we break down the major news: Denis Villeneuve is officially directing the next James Bond film. Amazon Studios has confirmed not only his role as director but also as executive producer, signaling a bold new chapter for the franchise. We reflect on Villeneuve's signature style, from his sweeping visuals in Dune and Blade Runner 2049, and what that could mean for the tone and scale of Bond moving forward. It's a serious pivot that could redefine 007 for the modern era. We also briefly discuss what fans can expect from a Villeneuve-led Bond and what it says about Amazon's vision for the franchise.Timestamps and Topics:00:00 Denis Villeneuve confirmed as Bond director and executive producer00:10 Villeneuve's track record with large-scale films like Dune and Blade Runner 204900:18 What Villeneuve's style could bring to the Bond universe00:30 Creative implications for the franchise and Amazon's direction00:38 Personal thoughts on the choice and what it could mean long-termKey Takeaways:Amazon Studios has confirmed Denis Villeneuve as the director and executive producer for the next James Bond movie.Villeneuve's reputation for crafting visually grand and narratively dense films positions the Bond franchise for a significant tonal and cinematic shift.This decision suggests Amazon is aiming for prestige-level blockbusters rather than formulaic spy thrillers.No writer has been announced yet, but Villeneuve's involvement already signals strong creative control.While some fans may have hoped for a more experimental director, this move prioritizes scale, ambition, and franchise longevity.Quotes:“Denis does not do things half measure… everything he does is on a very large scale.”“The choices that Denis Villeneuve will be making over the next couple of years will shape one of the biggest franchises in movie history.”“This is the kind of choice when you want to make sure a franchise is putting out blockbusters.”Call to Action:Don't forget to subscribe to Geek Freaks on your favorite podcast platform, leave us a rating or review, and share this episode using #GeekFreaksPodcast.

"I wanted to do something a bit synthwave / cyberpunk / Blade Runner influenced. The original clip gave me the feeling of night and neon lights. I had the idea to add a punk bassline - which was the first thing I recorded. I then added the drums, guitar and then synths.  "Finally the vocals came, which are satirical. We love to talk about ourselves, but never speak up when it really matters. And, we are slaves to consumerism no matter what we try to think. "I kept the whole piece short despite the temptation to add to the ending." Government announcement in Hanoi, Vietnam reimagined by Wanted Sound (Ben Scott).

Na zakończenie tego sezonu "Techstorie" wychodzą ze studia i spotykają się ze słuchaczami i słuchaczkami na nagraniu na żywo. A temat na finałowy odcinek tego sezonu mamy przeciekawy - bo bierzemy na tapet cyfrową miłość, seks i relacje. Czy można zakochać się i tworzyć szczęśliwy związek z programowaną, silikonową lalką, która mówi wyłącznie "tak"? Albo czy taka lalka może stać się powierzchnią marketingową do sprzedawania nam kolejnych rzeczy i usług? Jak związki z robotami, robotycznymi lalkami, ale też cyfrowymi personami generowanymi na życzenie przez sztuczną inteligencję zmieni nasze podejście do relacji w realu? Czy w być może niedalekiej przyszłości będziemy mieli jeszcze ochotę chodzić na randki z białkowymi partnerami lub partnerkami? O tym wszystkim dyskutujemy z Ewą Stusińską, autorką m.in. książki "Deus sex machina". A że to nagranie podcastu na żywo, to są też pytania od publiczności. Jednym słowem - wyjątkowy odcinek!

The final part of Issue 61 is a special Spotlight episode focusing on the films of Denis Villeneuve. Returning guest host Calum joins us to examine how this rather understated French Canadian filmmaker has quietly built up arguably the best filmography of the last 15 years. Films like Sicario, Arrival and the two Dune films show his ability to do things few other directors can, and we want to find out how he's done it. We pay particular attention to his mind-bending early independent film Enemy and his hugely ambitious follow up to Ridley Scott's sci classic with Blade Runner 2049.   The other parts of Issue 61 are out now and the next issue of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd will be arriving from June 25th.

Bienvenidos, una vez más, a vuestro podcast favorito. Y si es la primera vez que nos escuchas, bienvenido a tu próximo programa favorito. En Buscadores de la Verdad hemos abordado el cine en más de una ocasión. No es casualidad. Dentro de nuestro blog técnico —preocupado.com— creamos una sección llamada Vídeos Es Clave, cuyo título es un guiño a aquel mítico programa llamado La Clave, donde se hablaba de cine… y de sus circunstancias. Muy lejos de la televisión basura actual, La Clave era un espacio donde reinaban la reflexión y el contenido de calidad. Porque el cine, amigos, no es simplemente entretenimiento. Como anunciamos en el título de este episodio: el cine es mucho más. Es un arte que trasciende la distracción, una herramienta narrativa que nos permite reír, llorar, reflexionar y soñar. Nos conecta con lo más profundo de nuestra psique, nos transporta a mundos imposibles y, al mismo tiempo, nos confronta con las realidades más crudas. Es espejo, es mapa, es lenguaje de lo humano. Cada película es un lienzo donde se proyectan culturas, ideologías y anhelos. Pero también, y esto es clave en nuestra mirada, el cine puede ser —y muchas veces es— un medio de programación y control social. En manos equivocadas, se convierte en un instrumento de adoctrinamiento y control. En el gran hermano de Orwell que no solo observa sino que manipula a su antojo las mentes débiles. Hablamos aquí de un concepto tan inquietante como real: la programación predictiva. A través de narrativas cuidadosamente elaboradas, el cine puede sembrar en el inconsciente colectivo ideas, escenarios y valores destinados a normalizar conductas futuras, erosionando el pensamiento crítico y preparando a la sociedad para aceptar lo inaceptable. Y con esa mirada hemos analizado ya varias películas en esta sección de nuestro proyecto. La primera fue El destino de Júpiter (Jupiter Ascending), una cinta de ciencia ficción escrita y dirigida por las hermanas Wachowski, las mismas creadoras de Matrix. La película se centra en una humilde muchacha (Mila Kunis) que se gana la vida limpiando baños, y se entera de que tiene un gran destino genético. En esta película habría tres capas, la primera y más obvia que muestra simplemente un cuento de hadas espacial, una intermedia donde se nos hablaría de entidades no humanas y se las relacionaría con civilizaciones ancestrales de la Tierra; y una tercera, aún más críptica, en la que se abordan temas como la soberanía personal, la ley marítima y las entidades legales representadas en letras mayúsculas. Un auténtico puzzle simbólico En la segunda película que analizamos, 12 monos, hablamos de como el satanismo era la capa mas profunda que nos mostraba la película. Toda la película es una burla a la creencia cristiana y de otras religiones monoteístas en un único Dios todopoderoso. En una escena clave, el personaje sugiere la existencia de una jerarquía de seres malignos que operan como secretarios de entidades superiores. Se dice sin ambages: “Ademas ya he avisado, ya se ocupan de mi. ¿Qué quieres decir?- pregunta Bruce Willis He contactado con ciertos subordinados, espíritus malignos, secretarios de secretarios y otros varios servidores que contactaran con mi padre. Y cuando mi padre sepa que estoy en un sitio asi para que me trasladen a uno de esos tugurios elegantes…” Termina diciendo “Mi padre es Dios… yo venero a mi padre”. Una inversión blasfema de la cosmovisión cristiana. La película, lejos de ser una simple historia de ciencia ficción distópica, es una crítica velada y perversa a la fe monoteísta. La tercera película elegida fue Blade Runner, una de mis favoritas, desde luego un claro referente dentro del mundo de los universos distópicos y de los mundos post apocalípticos. Esta película no recibió toda la atención que hubiera merecido por dos motivos; el primero es que se estreno dos semanas mas tarde del debut en taquilla de E.T., el extraterrestre, ocurrido el 11 de junio de 1982. El segundo motivo es que lo que realmente esconde esta película no debía ser promocionado a las masas como el tema ET que empiezo a ser ampliamente difundido en la década de los 80 a través de películas y series. Pero Blade Runner no es una película cualquiera: es una meditación profunda sobre el transhumanismo, la eugenesia, y el anhelo de trascendencia. En sus capas más profundas se esconde una búsqueda mística de Dios, la llamada “iluminación”. Una pregunta filosófica sobre lo que significa ser humano en boca de un ser artificial. El análisis de Eyes Wide Shut, la inquietante última película de Kubrick, fue tan profundo que dio origen a mi segundo libro: Ojos bien abiertos. Muchos se quedan en su superficie de thriller erótico o crítica elitista, pero nosotros vamos más allá. Esta obra revela rituales, símbolos y estructuras de poder que operan en la sombra. Desde los Rothschild hasta el programa MK Ultra, pasando por referencias al orfismo, el camino del druida y del mago: esta película es una llave hacia lo oculto. Nuestros análisis van más allá de la superficie de la pantalla, desentrañando significados ocultos que el director ha tejido en capas más profundas, invisibles a simple vista. Consideramos que esta obra se estructura en tres niveles principales, de lo más evidente a lo más enigmático: la primera capa revela conspiraciones de grupos de poder ocultos, como los Rothschild, que operan en las sombras; la segunda explora la operatividad de estos grupos, incluyendo técnicas de control como el MK Ultra y rituales de sexo y sangre; finalmente, la tercera capa, la más profunda, nos sumerge en el camino del druida, el poeta y el mago, evocando el misticismo del orfismo. Esta estructura invita a una reflexión crítica sobre las intenciones subyacentes de la narrativa y su impacto en la percepción del espectador. La quinta película que hemos analizado en nuestra sección Videos Es Clave ha sido El Hoyo. Aqui analizamos el simbolismo esotérico de los personajes llegando a la conclusión de que tanto Goreng como Trimagasi eran arquetipos del Quijote: Goreng (Don Quijote) y Trimagasi (Sancho Panza) que representaban a un iniciado y a un maestro masón respectivamente, de origen español. Que además Trimagasi podría simbolizar a Hermes Trismegisto, personaje con nombre griego y sincrético del dios egipcio del conocimiento Toth, creador del hermetismo (Tabla esmeralda) así como de Hermes el dios olímpico mensajero, de las fronteras y los viajeros que las cruzan, del ingenio y del comercio en general, de la astucia, de los ladrones y los mentirosos, y el que guía las almas al inframundo, al Hades, posteriormente llamado Mercurio en la mitología romana. (Caduceo). No es casualidad que el caduceo aparezca en más de un lugar en el film. Este análisis lo hicimos junto a Jordi que en paz descanse y podéis encontrar los videos sobre todas estas películas en la descripción de este podcast en Ivoox. También hemos analizado otras películas como una sobre la trata infantil llamada Sound of Freedom cuyo análisis dejaba en claro que tan solo pretendían colocar un velo entre la triste verdad que rodea el abuso ritual infantil y lo que se muestra en la película, que un traficante de drogas de poca monta era el malo malísimo detrás de los secuestros y abusos de niños. Lejos de exponer la verdad cruda del abuso ritual, parece más bien funcionar como una cortina de humo: un entretenimiento anestésico que disfraza la verdadera magnitud del problema. Y por si fuera poco, me atreví incluso con Rashōmon, la obra maestra de Kurosawa, dejando un pequeño hilo sobre su carga simbólica. Porque hasta en los silencios del cine japonés hay gritos que invitan a la verdad. Amamos el arte. Amamos el cine. Y amamos hablar de lo que se oculta tras la cámara. Por eso, hoy nos acompaña Carlos, más conocido como Cinefilia Cult, un experto apasionado por un arte que no puede ni debe medirse en números. Puntuar una película es reducirla a una estadística. El cine se vive, se siente, se analiza. Pero no se cuantifica. El cine es uno de los lenguajes de la imaginación, donde cada fotograma, sonido o silencio lleva una intención que no puede cuantificarse sin perder su magia. En lugar de números, el cine merece ser explorado a través de conversaciones, interpretaciones y experiencias personales, que capturan mejor su riqueza y profundidad inefable. Bienvenido, Carlos, a Buscadores de la verdad. Hoy, más que cine. ………………………………………………………………………………………. En tu perfil vemos que tu película favorita es Ran (1985) otra película de Kurosawa, junto a clásicos como el film de Kapra “Vive como quieras” (1938) y Los amantes crucificados una película de culto japonesa (1954) ¿Qué elementos te conectan con estos films y qué te atrae de esa época cinematográfica? ………………………………………………………………………………………. Has marcado 363 películas vistas, con 60 este año ¿Hay algún tema o tendencia en tu cine de 2025 que te haya sorprendido especialmente? ………………………………………………………………………………………. En 2024 dejaste una reseña de Dragonkeeper, una coproducción España‑China, destacando su “impecable factura visual”. ¿Podrías profundizar en cómo ves la evolución de la animación internacional y su integración en el cine español actual? ……………………………………………………………………………………….

Nuestros análisis en Buscadores de la Verdad destacan las capas profundas en películas como Blade Runner o Eyes Wide Shut. ¿Tú también empleas este enfoque de mirar “tras la superficie” en las películas que ves y reseñas? Y si es así ¿Puedes darnos un ejemplo reciente? Hay quienes consideran la cinefilia (cinephilia) una forma de vida. ¿Qué significa para ti ser cinefílico? ¿Qué te aporta esta comunidad? ………………………………………………………………………………………. ¿Cómo equilibras tu gusto por producciones clásicas con tu pasión por descubrir simbologías ocultas en el cine moderno? ………………………………………………………………………………………. Sueles escribir críticas detalladas —por ejemplo, dijiste de Pearl (2022) que “puedes casi percibir los olores”. ¿Cuál es tu proceso a la hora de redactar una reseña: cómo sintetizas lo sensorial y lo narrativo? ……………………………………………………………………………………….

A corrupt cop, a local grifter, a femme fatale and the partner he left for dead all come marching out of his past to come for it. Get to know the writers: What is your screenplay about? Jeremy Hogan: To me it's about time. Lost time, how we spend our time, the futility of trying to catch up or outrun it. Aaron Krygier… Lost people looking for something to fulfill that emptiness. Whether it's something tangible or not. Love, revenge, greed. What genres does your screenplay fall under? JH: Neo-noir or crime thriller AK the same Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? JH: I'm biased, but I think it's well written. Meaty characters that actors might relish playing, and it's true to its genre, while subverting conventions and expectations in interesting or surprising ways. AK it wears its influences on its sleeve and its simplicity offers a ton of options for outlandish Ness. How would you describe this script in two words? JH: uncertain redemptionAK… Evoking humanity. What movie have you seen the most times in your life? JH: Probably a tie between “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” or “Miller's Crossing,” though “Adaptation” is catching up. AK… Heat, Blade Runner, Alien, Se7en are all contenders. Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Send us a textWilliam Gibson described Cyberpunk as a fusion of high-tech and low-life, exploring the intersection of technology, cybernetics, and computer networks on human society in a near-future, often dystopian setting.If you don't know who William Gibson is then shame on you.Like most people out there, my first exposure to Cyberpunk was Blade Runner. The 1982 movie by Ridley Scott blew me away. After that I watched movies like Freejack and Johnny Mnemonic, Akira, and Ghost in the Shell. it wasn't until the late 90's that I started diving into the literary world of Cyberpunk with Nuromancer and Snowcrash.I loved the setting, the style, the tech, and the action, but I never got into the roleplaying games. I heard about Cyberpunk, and Cyberpunk 2020. But for some strange reason I never picked them up.Then Mike asked me if I was interested in playing Cyberpunk Red.I jumped at the chance.Mike ran our group though almost a year of Cyberpunk using the Cyberpunk Red rules and we have recently started up again focusing more on the Edgerunner 2077 expansion for Cyberpunk Red.After that much game time, we got opinions.In this episode Mike, Christina and I are going to give you an honest, unbiased review of Cyberpunk Red.But before we do that, Christina, break down the legalese for us.[Kick to Christina so she can go on about how we haven't been paid or compensated in any way for our opinion and we bought the shit with money out of our own pocket.]Now Mike, Start us off on our review of Cyberpunk Red.

In this ultra-special episode, Jaime and Patrick sit down with Vicki Rhodes, assistant director on Blade Runner, to uncover the incredible behind-the-scenes stories of this cinematic landmark. From all-night shoots to ostrich wrangling, Vicki shares a perspective few have ever heard, a journey into the making of a film that continues to define and defy its genre. This is a riveting conversation, and we're so grateful to Vicki for pulling back the curtain and sharing her memories of a world that still fascinates us all. // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.bladerunnerpodcast.com  // If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Fields of Calantha. // To support the show, please consider visiting www.bladerunnerpodcast.com/support.

"More human than human" is our motto. We watched "Blade Runner" (1982) and "Blade Runner 2049" (2017) with our friend Drew Stanley, and we're in the market for one of those replicant owls. The original "Blade Runner" is a sci-fi classic, and while Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard couldn't be any more straight, the replicant Roy Batty as portrayed by Danish import Rutger Hauer is so queer-coded we're still talking about it 40 years later. Director Ridley Scott's "Cassette Punk" vision of Los Angeles in 2019 by way of 1982 is so grimy, analogue, and punk rock... it almost matches up with modern tech. Swap out the flying "spinner" police cars for those self-driving Waymo menaces, and it's almost as if we're living in a dystopian future... oh wait. Jump to 2017 (in the real world), and we get "Blade Runner 2049," in which the future of 2019 that was predicted in 1982 is portrayed, and I think I need an ibuprofen. Denis Villeneuve takes up the mantle from Ridley Scott, and this kind of heavy lifting really takes an auteur like Villeneuve to pull off. Ryan Gosling as replicant Blade Runner "K" is doing some fine work, as is the rest of this amazing cast. We talk about our favorite futuristic glam-bots (of which there are many to choose from), the age-old question of whether or not Deckard (Ford) is a replicant, and try to stave off the several many "Dune" comparisons we really want to bring up. Break out your Los Angeles atlas and get ready for a cyberpunk adventure.  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

Young Dave, armed with a love for Star Wars and a soft spot for everyone's favourite scruffy-looking nerf herder, thought he was in for another dose of Han Solo heroics when switching on Blade runner. What he got instead was something a little moodier, a lot rainier, and less exciting than Songs of Praise.The production of Blade Runner (1982) was as tumultuous and moody as the rain-soaked, neon-lit world it depicted. Directed by Ridley Scott, fresh off the success of Alien, the film was envisioned as a noir-infused sci-fi adaptation of Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. The shoot was plagued by creative clashes between Scott and the American crew, who bristled at his demanding style, and constant interference from producers worried about the film's slow pace and philosophical ambiguity. Principal photography was grueling, with night shoots, complex visual effects, and an increasingly strained atmosphere on set. Lead actor Harrison Ford reportedly had a difficult working relationship with Scott, and the overall mood was so tense it was dubbed “Blood Runner” by some of the crew.Post-production proved just as chaotic. The studio, concerned that the film was too cerebral and obscure, insisted on adding a noir-style voiceover narration and a more upbeat ending—changes that Scott strongly opposed. Multiple versions of the film were created to satisfy different markets and test audiences, adding to the confusion. Upon release, Blade Runner received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office, overshadowed by more accessible summer hits. Yet over time, the film's groundbreaking visual design, atmospheric world-building, and deep philosophical themes helped it gain a devoted following, eventually being recognized as a cornerstone of science fiction cinema.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryIn a future where it always rains and everything is soaked in neon, one man must hunt what isn't supposed to be hunted. Harrison Ford is Rick Deckard — a retired blade runner pulled back in for one last job. His mission? Track down and "retire" a group of rogue replicants who aren't going quietly into the night. But as the line between man and machine blurs, the hunter begins to question everything. Get ready for a showdown where the future looks grim, the androids look angry, and the noodles are always hot.

Episode 367: In the early hours of Valentine's Day 2013, the world awoke to the shocking news that South African Olympic and Paralympic hero Oscar Pistorius had shot and killed his girlfriend, a 29-year-old paralegal and model Reeva Steenkamp, inside his Pretoria home. Pistorius, celebrated for overcoming the loss of his legs to become a global sporting icon, now stood accused of a crime that would grip and divide a nation. The ensuing investigation and trial, marked by intense media scrutiny, conflicting testimonies, and a dramatic courtroom battle, would raise questions about celebrity, violence, and the quality of justice in South Africa.

The future is here.Sixty years ago, the science fiction writer Philip K. Dick wondered whether androids dream and what about. As artificial intelligence moves from the realm of sci-fi into daily reality, helping companies and governments analyze data and make decisions, the questions of what mechanisms motivate AI and whether these programs can overcome human limitations remain unanswered.Many tech leaders seem to believe we are on the cusp of having self-aware AI with intelligence that surpasses humans. Even if we don't get there, we're already facing places where current laws don't really protect us.Join us in our sixth episode this season for a tour through a not-so-post-apocalyptic landscape as companies and experts try to navigate how humans bring AI more and more to life. Special guests:Tyler Johnston, founder of the Midas ProjectStephen Thaler, founder of Imagination EnginesEllie Pavlick, assistant professor of computer science and linguistics at Brown UniversityMatthew Tokson, law professor at the University of UtahScott Stevenson, CEO of SpellbookUlysses Secrest, artist and owner of Aerarius MetalworksChatGPTThis episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

On this episode of The Cinedicate, Katie and Brit from The Grindhouse Girls return to dive deep into the sci-fi thriller Companion. Together, we unpack the film's mind-bending twists, viral marketing, killer performances by Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid, and why going in blind is half the fun. The conversation winds through everything from AI romance and toxic relationships to 90s nostalgia, movie theaters, and how technology shapes our connections. Whether you're a fan of horror, sci-fi, or just great discussion, this is a spoiler-filled, hilarious, and insightful exploration you don't want to miss.What to expect from the episode:Spirited, spoiler-filled discussion of Companion, including initial reactions, hidden twists, and the film's clever genre-blending of sci-fi, horror, comedy, and romance tropes.Deep-dive into the film's themes: isolation and loneliness in the digital age, incel and gender dynamics, and the evolving nature of AI and human relationships, drawing thoughtful connections to other media like Blade Runner, Stepford Wives, and Her.Lively banter on movie marketing, theatrical vs. streaming releases, generational shifts in moviegoing, and ethical dilemmas around AI companions—plus plenty of personal anecdotes, pop culture tangents, and recommendations for related films.Episode Chapters00:00 Introduction01:21 First Impressions and Why Trailers Reveal Too Much11:23 The Desire for Longer Theater Runs18:02 Companion Plot Synopsis22:28 Layers Upon Layers of Twists26:00 Iris - A Metaphor For Toxic Relationships33:13 Programming or Sentient?36:55 Younger Generation Being Taken in By The Incel Culture45:12 Always Connected, Yet Disconnected55:06 Would You Trust an A.I.

I can tell you the exact date and place: October 16, 1986, at the Fine Arts Theater in downtown Chicago. I got to come of age as a moviegoer in the corporate dominated, era of the late 70's and early 80's. I was a child of "Jaws", "Star Wars", Indy and "Back to the Future". With occasional exceptions like "Stranger than Paradise" and "Blade Runner", American film in the early and mid 80's felt corporate and soulless. And then I saw "Blue Velvet", and my moviegoing life was saved. Skip now to nearly four years later, to those glorious two months in the spring of 1990 when "Twin Peaks" changed everything that television was and could be. For these moments, and so many more, we use Episode 60 to pay a last tribute to Hollywood's favorite Eagle Scout, the irreplaceable David Lynch. What separates Lynch from almost every other filmmaker, was that whereas most great directors were filmmakers who evolved into artists, Lynch was an artist (a celebrated painter, composer) who happened to choose filmmaking as his major means of expression. And when the filmmaking money dried up after "Inland Empire"'s failure, he simply turned to other art forms to express what he wanted to say. Lynch was most certainly a surrealist, every bit as much as Dali, Magritte or De Chirico were, but he was, as one critic termed him, a “populist surrealist”. In his films, the line between dream and reality (or between reality and film in his later works) is blurred. This makes sense, since surrealism is founded on dreams and dreamlike juxtapositions. Lynch, like those great painters he so admired and emulated, was an artist of the unconscious and the uncanny. But for all the serious artistic ambition, everything he created was leavened with that art-school sense of humor, off-center and dry as a bone. For all of his unsettling imagery and the deep questions his work raised about the nature of identity, he seemed, at least from the outside, to have led the happiest of lives. Raised mainly in Missoula, Montana, Lynch often paid tribute to the simple quotidian beauties of life in small-town America (think Twin Peaks, Lumberton, the Iowa and Wisconsin towns we see in "The Straight Story") while also, as in the opening of "Blue Velvet", reminding us of the darkness that often lies just beneath those finely-manicured lawns. For all of his artistic sophistication, he never even came close to an artsy sense of condescending irony; it's perfect that he spent the last years of his life sending in daily weather reports to the LA public radio station for broadcast. No winks, no air quotes—just the desire to share a genuine excitement about the miracles of nature. And for an artist who was such a unique stylist that he was one of the last to become an adjective (we all know “Lynchian” filmmaking when we see it), he was at the same time constantly paying tribute to film history; consider the endless "Wizard of Oz" references in "Wild at Heart", or casting just about all of the hot new movie stars of 1961 in the original "Twin Peaks" series. How perfectly fitting it was, then, to watch him, in his final and uncredited big screen appearance, playing a cranky John Ford in Spielberg's "The Fablemans". For our tribute to Lynch (which is more than they did for him at this year's Oscars), we eschewed our usual formula and chose not to do a chronological reckoning of Lynch's work and its impact from "Eraserhead" to "Inland Empire". This episode, like the director's work itself, is more associative and non-linear. In the end, we conclude that David Lynch, that Man from Another Place, is someone whose absence makes the world that much poorer a spot to live in. To quote the repeated incantation from "Blue Velvet", now it's dark.

In this episode of In the Key of Q, Dan Hall speaks with Ben McGarvey, who performs as Minute Taker. Ben's music is characterized by a signature blend of retro synth-pop, haunting piano melodies, and emotionally charged lyrics that explore the depth of human experience.Episode SummaryBen opens up about the origins of his stage name "Minute Taker" – a reference to his former day job that created an ironic contrast with his artistic identity. He describes it as "simultaneously mundane and otherworldly," reflecting the dual nature of his creative life.The conversation traverses Ben's musical evolution from a teenager in the 90s who was drawn to 80s synth music to his current work creating atmospheric, emotionally resonant songs. Ben reflects on how living in rural Shropshire as a young gay man shaped his relationship with music as a form of escape and self-expression.Throughout the episode, Ben courageously discusses his experiences with depression and how this has informed the melancholic quality of his music. Rather than viewing this melancholia as something negative, he explores how it can be "so beautiful" and serves as a connective tissue between artist and listener.Key Moments02:59 - Ben discusses his musical influences growing up, including Kate Bush, Pet Shop Boys, Tori Amos, and PJ Harvey07:47 - Reflections on growing up as a gay child in rural Britain during the Section 28 era09:35 - Ben shares his early songwriting experiences and how music became a form of escape16:46 - Discussion about representation and the importance of addressing songs explicitly to men22:46 - Ben speaks candidly about his experiences with depression and how it manifests24:44 - The evolution of Ben's work into audiovisual projects, including his concept album exploring gay men's lives throughout history28:32 - Details about his upcoming album "The Oblivion," inspired by Blade Runner and 80s sounds34:20 - Information about Ben's subscription service for fans to access exclusive musicGuest BioBen McGarvey is a Manchester-based musician who performs under the name Minute Taker. His work blends retro synth sounds with piano and emotional lyrics to create atmospheric, often melancholic music. Beyond traditional albums, Ben has expanded into audiovisual projects that explore LGBTQ+ experiences throughout history. His most recent album "Wolf Hours" included an accompanying visual narrative, and he's currently finishing his new album "The Oblivion."Gateway TrackBen recommends "Lead You Home," the opening track from his album "Wolf Hours," as the perfect introduction to his music. The song encapsulates his recent musical direction with its melancholic, synthy, and atmospheric qualities while remaining catchy. The accompanying music video alternates between scenes set in the 1980s and 1918, telling the story of two World War I soldiers.Gateway TrackMinute Taker website.In the Key of Q celebrates queer musicians and their stories.

Cyborg Awakening: Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell From time to time this podcast allows Mr. Chavez & Myself the opportunity to explore new genre's. With the encouragement and recommendations of WatchThis listeners, we have had the opportunity to engage in new experiences a number of times. Some of these new viewings have been from The World of Japanese Anime (Thank You, Mr. Burroughs!). This week we dive into one of the very best, Mamoru Oshii's 1995 dystopian masterpiece Ghost in the Shell. It is rare that a film is able to deliver on so many different levels (entertaining/exciting - insightful/thought-provoking), but this is precisely what Oshii's film does. What could have been a simple and obvious look into a bleak and misery-infused Science-Fiction future is, rather, an insightful and compelling examination of Artificial Intelligence, The Soul . . . its relation to the species and culture, and intellectual and emotional awareness. This is an incredible film that mixes Fritz Lang, Blade Runner, martial-arts & gun-play, and the police procedural to examine grand existential questions. Take a listen as we continue diving deeper and deeper into the world of AI and its promises, hopes, and threats for the future. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com - Many Thanks.  For those of you who would like to donate to this undying labor of love, you can do so with a contribution at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/watchrickramos - Anything and Everything is appreciated, You Cheap Bastards.

The late Syd Mead was a visual futurist who was hired to imagine the worlds of Blade Runner, Tron, Aliens, Elysium and other sci-fi films. His work in Hollywood has been lauded for decades, but there's a new exhibit in New York that shows a different side of the artist. Syd Mead: Future Pastime is a collection of his personal and commercial paintings, which are all works of science fiction. Despite his connection to the dystopian world of Blade Runner, Mead's personal vision of the future was unwaveringly optimistic. I talk with Mead's husband and business partner Roger Servick, and the curators of the exhibit, Elon Solo and William Corman, about Mead's predictions for the future of technology, sexuality and spirituality.
