    Sony parece estar apostando cada vez más por el formato digital, y eso ha reabierto un debate muy interesante: ¿realmente poseemos lo que compramos cuando todo depende de un servidor?En este episodio reflexiono sobre cómo ha cambiado nuestra forma de consumir música, películas y videojuegos. Para quienes crecimos con el VHS, el DVD, el CD o el Blu-ray, tener una copia física significaba que era nuestra. Sin embargo, las nuevas generaciones han nacido con Spotify, Netflix y las compras digitales, y para muchos de ellos el formato físico simplemente ha dejado de tener importancia.También hablo de otro aspecto que creo que estamos perdiendo: el valor de las experiencias auténticas. No es lo mismo grabar un disco con músicos tocando juntos que producirlo todo de forma digital. Del mismo modo, una réplica de la Torre Eiffel nunca será la experiencia de verla en París, y una ciudad llena de rascacielos no transmite necesariamente la esencia de Nueva York.¿Estamos ganando comodidad a costa de perder autenticidad? Esa es la reflexión que comparto hoy.

    71: Penda's Fen (1974) – BBC – Dir. Alan Clarke – Spencer Banks, Georgine Anderson & Ian Hogg

    The 16th episode of the fourth season of the BBC anthology series Play for Today, Penda's Fen – originally broadcast on 21 March 1974 – is widely celebrated as a visionary masterpiece of British folk horror and 1970s television drama. Written by David Rudkin and directed by Alan Clarke, Time Out London named it one of the 100 best British films. The Visionary Realism of Alan ClarkeDirector Alan Clarke is renowned for his stark social realism and controversial depictions of institutionalised communities. His 1977 borstal drama Scum was banned by the BBC, later returning as a 1979 feature film, while his television film Made in Britain introduced Tim Roth as a racist skinhead. He tackled corporate corruption in Beloved Enemy, military interrogation in Psy-Warriors, and directed David Bowie in Bertolt Brecht's Baal. His final work, The Firm starring Gary Oldman, drew heavy press criticism for its depiction of violent football hooliganism in Thatcher's Britain.While Penda's Fen trades Clarke's urban realism for a mystical landscape of angels and demons, it retains his fierce preoccupation with identity, authority, and systemic oppression.Cult Television & Audio ConnectionsThe surreal atmosphere is driven by an electronic score from Paddy Kingsland of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Kingsland manipulated a Benjamin Britten recording for the play, and went on to score The Changes, the radio and TV versions of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and classic Doctor Who serials.The cast links directly to landmark British cult media:Spencer Banks (Stephen Franklin): The quintessential 1970s television adolescent, Banks also starred as Simon Randall in the children's sci-fi series Timeslip.Georgine Anderson (Mrs Franklin): A veteran of the Royal Shakespeare Company who later played May in the 2007 Doctor Who episode ‘Gridlock' – representing the show's first married same-sex couple.Ian Hogg (Arne): Famous as the lead in Rockliffe's Babies and the villainous Josiah Samuel Smith in the Doctor Who story Ghost Light.Jennie Hesselwood (Mrs Arne): Mother of Toby Jones and wife of Freddie Jones (Dune, The Elephant Man).Graham Leaman (Sir Edward Elgar): Features a massive Doctor Who pedigree including The Macra Terror (tying directly back to the Macra in ‘Gridlock'), The Seeds of Death, and The Three Doctors.Ivor Roberts (Cooke): A familiar face from the ‘Croftiverse' comedies Oh, Doctor Beeching! and You Rang, M'Lord?, as well as Genesis of the Daleks.Ron Smerczak (Joel): Later transitioned to action cinema in American Ninja 4: The Annihilation and Cyborg Cop.Current Promotions & EventsThe General Witchfinders Book Club: Our debut spin-off episode is out now, run with independent bookshop Teaseland & Skylark in Dorchester.

    802 Toxic Fandom When Did Movie Fans Start Hating Movies

    Movie fandom has changed dramatically over the last few decades—but when did everything become so divided? In this video, The 2 hosts take a look at the rise of toxic fandom in film culture, exploring how movie discussions evolved from friendly debates in magazines, conventions and video stores into today's world of social media outrage, review bombing, online arguments and culture wars. We'll discuss questions such as: When did toxic fandom really begin? Has social media made movie discussions worse? Is criticism being confused with toxicity? Are studios helping or hurting the situation? Can fans disagree without attacking each other? Is there a way back to enjoying movies together? From classic franchises like Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Marvel, DC, and many others, we'll examine how passionate fan communities have changed over time and whether modern fandom has become more about winning arguments than celebrating the films we love. This isn't about taking sides it's about having an honest conversation about where movie fandom has been, where it is today, and where it might be heading in the future. I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts in the comments: When did you first notice toxic fandom? Has it affected your enjoyment of movies? Can respectful debate still exist online? What are your favourite positive fan communities? If you enjoy thoughtful movie discussions, classic cinema, Blu-ray reviews, physical media collecting and conversations about film culture, please consider liking the video, subscribing to the channel, and joining the discussion.

    Jim Hill and Dan Graney return from the Fourth of July weekend with Avengers on the brain, Spider-Man breaking trailer records, and X-Men '97 stretching Marvel history across thousands of years. They dig into the rumored new Endgame Encore tag, how Spider-Man: Brand New Day may be quietly setting up the MCU's mutant era, and why X-Men '97 Season 2 feels like both a great show and a smart primer for Doomsday. Then Jim and Dan crown their first-ever Doctor Doom of the Week as Sony's latest digital ownership moves spark a bigger conversation about physical media, preservation, and the original 1977 Star Wars returning to theaters. NEWS • Avengers: Endgame Encore is headed back to theaters with new footage, a fresh intro, and an exclusive end tag tied to Avengers: Doomsday. • Jim and Dan revisit their Doctor Doom theory as fans wonder whether Tony Stark's famous hammering sound could be recontextualized for Victor von Doom. • Spider-Man: Brand New Day is breaking trailer records while hinting at mutating DNA, Damage Control, inhibitor tech, and the MCU's coming mutant era. • Tom Holland says he wants to help bring Miles Morales into the MCU, echoing the mentor role Robert Downey Jr. played for him. • X-Men '97 Season 2 launches with a time-hopping three-episode premiere that moves from the future to 1997 to ancient Egypt. FEATURE • Sony earns the first Doctor Doom of the Week title after paid digital movies begin disappearing from PlayStation libraries due to expired licensing. • Jim and Dan unpack why GTA 6's reported physical release raises concerns about empty boxes, download codes, and the decline of game discs. • The conversation turns to preservation, ownership, and what gets lost when digital storefronts replace shelves of movies, games, and Blu-rays. • Disney's planned IMAX release of the original 1977 theatrical cut of Star Wars offers a hopeful counterpoint for fans of film history and physical media.

    A finales de junio Rockstar confirmó que el esperado Grand Theft Auto VI llegará el 19 de noviembre, pero sin edición en soporte físico. El estuche que pondrán a disposición de los compradores contendrá solo un código de descarga. Unos días después Sony anunció que dejará de fabricar discos para los videojuegos a partir de 2028, señal inequívoca de que la próxima PlayStation prescindirá del lector óptico en su versión de entrada. Lo cierto es que cada vez se compran menos videojuegos en formato físico. En Estados Unidos los videojuegos en soporte de plástico (discos y cartuchos) facturaron casi 12.000 millones de dólares en 2008, el año pasado solo 1.500 millones, una caída del 90% en 17 años. En España el mercado del videojuego físico cerró 2024 con una caída en las ventas del 18% mientras la venta digital crecía casi un 20%. El sector no pierde dinero, simplemente está adaptándose a los gustos del consumidor. En 2025 el gasto total en videojuegos superó los 60.700 millones y en ecosistemas como el de PlayStation casi del 85% de las ventas ya son digitales. Nada de esto ha ocurrido de un día para otro. Sony, Nintendo y Microsoft llevan unos 20 años promocionando sus tiendas en línea, algo que implicaba dotar a las consolas de conexión a internet y capacidad de almacenamiento propia, eso se hizo con las consolas de séptima generación. La PlayStation 3 abrió el camino en 2006 con la PlayStation Network, ese mismo año Nintendo abrió su Wii Shop Channel, Microsoft lo había hecho con Xbox Live Arcade en 2004, que tuvo su evolución con Games on Demand en 2009. El avance fue tan lento que casi nadie recuerda cuándo dejó de comprar juegos en las tiendas para bajarlos directamente a la consola. En esto de la digitalización la música fue el paciente cero. La iTunes Store popularizó el pago por canción hace casi 25 años y allanó el camino a Spotify o Apple Music, hasta el punto de que hoy casi nadie compra discos compactos y el vinilo sobrevive solo como objeto de culto. El cine siguió por el mismo camino, del VHS al DVD y al Blu-ray, hasta que las plataformas trajeron las suscripciones, un pago mensual que da acceso a un catálogo muy amplio de películas y series. Los libros, que también tienen versiones digitales, son la excepción, porque ahí el papel sigue siendo el soporte principal. El libro impreso es su propia tecnología, no necesita batería ni actualizaciones y ha superado la prueba del tiempo. La industria editorial trabaja con los dos formatos y todo indica que seguirá siendo así. Detrás de este cambio han operado varias fuerzas. Por un lado la tecnología hizo posible la descarga rápida y el almacenamiento, por otro las descargas permiten ganar más dinero a los estudios y controlar mejor las copias, Rockstar, por ejemplo, se ahorra el 30% que cedía a la tienda y el 5% de la fabricación del disco. Por último, el consumidor parece encantado con la inmediatez de disponer del contenido en el acto. El precio de esa comodidad es la propiedad. Quien descarga no compra un objeto sino una licencia personal e intransferible, atada a una cuenta y sujeta a un contrato de usuario final. No puede revender ni prestar, y su acceso depende de que la plataforma siga existiendo. El plástico se despide sin que la mayoría lo eche de menos y quedará, como el vinilo, para quien quiera disponer de una copia física a la que le de un valor más sentimental que práctico.

    This week we talk about Sony, Nintendo, and the Playstation.We also discuss Grand Theft Auto, the 3DO, and digital dark ages.Recommended Book: 3 Days, 9 Months, 27 Years by John ScalziTranscriptThe earliest video game consoles that were made to be used in the home, as opposed to being set up in an arcade, were hardwired like their arcade kin. That means rather than being able to play a bunch of different games, they were basically just single-game boxes: you would buy a machine that allowed you to play Pong, for instance, and if you wanted to play another game, even by the same maker, Atari, you would have to buy another whole console with its own screen, controls, etc, to do so.That was the state of the art in the early to mid 1970s. By the late-70s, the concept of swappable games became reality with the introduction of what are called ROM cartridges. ROM stands for read-only memory and is a type of storage common in computers and other devices, which allows whatever you store on it to persist, which is a contrast to RAM, which is the type of memory that determines how much you can do on a device at any given moment, and which disappears when the device is turned off.So these ROM cartridges were kind of like the portion of the hard drive that's used to boot up your computer, storing the bare-basics of the system so it can be initialized and understand how to run all the other software that builds upon that baseline. And that memory was stored in durable, plastic cases that made them usable by ordinary, non-techy people. You could buy a game and handle the cartridge, popping it into your game console hardware and removing it, to make way for another game, over and over and over again, and that use would be unlikely to damage the ROM chip.This same general format was flexible enough that it lasted through the mid-90s, the capacity of the ROM chip continuing to grow as the associated tech improved, and the capabilities of the central console hardware that used these cartridges became more sophisticated. Upgrades were slowly added to the innards of the plastic case, as well, including things like battery backups that enabled saved games, and the Super Nintendo's Super FX chip, which enabled 3D graphics that would have otherwise been impossible with the contemporary state of the art.The next generation of gaming consoles relied on another medium, though, and one that had several benefits over the long-lived game cartridge.CD-ROM discs, which were flat, circular, and contained information that was encoded and read with lasers, had been around in some form since the late-1980s, and were even used in a few early gaming consoles, like the PC Engine CD-ROM, which barely anyone bought, and the Sega-CD add-on for the Sega Genesis, and 3DO consoles, which a few more, but still relatively few people purchased.The release of the first Sony Playstation, now known as the PS1, in 1994 changed that, though, and this shift was partially the result of Sony's impressive game lineup, but was also due to the strength of the CD medium. Each CD-ROM could hold 650-700 MB of information, which was more than 100-times the capacity of the competing Nintendo 64's cartridges.There were downsides to this new standard; CD-ROMs were less durable than plastic-encased cartridges, and they were very slow to load, as well, because information stored in ROM chips could be more or less instantly booted, while the info stored on discs had to be spun up and read first, resulting in sluggish load screens throughout the gaming experience, and especially on the initial boot-up of the system.That said, the far superior storage, and the dramatically reduced cost of these laser-etched discs—cartridges could cost $15-20 apiece to manufacture, while CD-ROMs often cost pennies apiece—that triggered a rapid transition in the gaming world to this new medium. Handheld consoles stuck with cartridges for a lot longer, due to the nature of the use-case and difficulties associated with trying to use spinning discs in portable hardware, but everyone else moved to discs pretty rapidly, after Sony proved the utility of the model, and many aspects of video gaming were upgraded as a result of all that additional storage capacity.That capacity continued to grow as CD-ROM were replaced with DVDs, which could hold 4.7-8.5 GB per disc, again, up from 650-700 MB; the industry made that change in the years 2000 and 2001, with the PS2 and Xbox consoles. And then in 2006, the PS3 moved to Blu-ray discs, which could hold a whopping 25-50 GB per disc, once again resetting gaming expectations—though Xbox stuck with DVDs, and Nintendo's Wii, Wii U, and Gamecube consoles used proprietary disc formats that had a lot lower capacity compared to their competition.Leading into the 2010s, even those Blu-rays were straining under the weight of some big-name, AAA games, some of which required multiple discs and mandatory hard drive installs from those discs, because the scope of these gaming worlds and their high-end graphics required just a stunning amount of space.Video game companies had already started making the shift to digital products in the early 2000s, though, Xbox Live Arcade and the Playstation Store emerging in 2005 and 2006 respectively, and Steam, which popped up in 2003, was making digital downloads for games common on PCs several years earlier.Digital became even more popular in the 20-teens, and in 2020, digital sales of console games surpassed physical sales for the first time. The PS5 and Xbox Series S shipped console versions without disc drives for the first time, and many physical games became basically methods of checking a game's license, to ensure it's not pirated, because the discs installed the game on the console's hard drive, just like a download, anyway.What I'd like to talk about today is the perhaps natural next step in this transition: a recent announcement by Sony that they'll no longer be making disc-based Playstation games beginning in 2028, and why some critics are calling this a worrying and anti-consumer move.—On July 1, 2026, Sony announced that's it's going all-in on digitally delivered games. It will halt production of game discs beginning in January of 2028, and after that, customers will only be able to purchase new games digitally, via their Playstation Store and retailers.This follows another recent announcement by game company Rockstar Games that their massively anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI game, which is set to hit digital shelves on November 19 of this year, will not be available on disc at all; it will be downloadable, and the physical copies customers can buy in stores won't be physical copies at all: it will be a box with a download code inside, which amounts to the same thing—you use the code to download the game, exactly the same as if you had bought it online, but with packaging for that code.That's a big deal because the Grand Theft Auto series is one of the biggest and most popular series in gaming history; other game makers have been scrambling to adjust their own release dates so as not to overlap with this new, highly anticipated game's release; it's expected to be an absolutely massive moment in the gaming world when this new entry in the series finally lands.That said, the writing has been on the wall for the transition to digital games for a while, now. Game company Capcom recently announced that 93% of its game sales were digital in its last fiscal year, and other companies have reported similar numbers; it's currently around 85% for Sony. As a result, many consoles are now shipping models without disc drives, and some, like the recently announced Steam Machine, don't even have a disc-drive version.Digital games are also cheaper to make because the company behind them only has to provide download keys, rather than having to pay some amount for each and every physical item produced, packaged, and shipped, and these companies, and the retailers that sell their games, will never run out of a popular game, which might otherwise be an issue for big released like the aforementioned Grand Theft Auto.There are quite a few downsides to the digitization of games, though, including that in many cases, you don't actually own the games you buy, you just own a license to download and play them. That means if licensing changes, or the storefront through which you bought a game closes, you will likely lose access to that game you bought, without getting any kind of refund.If your account is banned or you lose access to your account for some reason, all your games will suddenly be inaccessible, too. If you don't have access to the internet, allowing your console to phone home and check to make sure you're not pirating things on a regular basis, that might also mean no gaming for you.Almost always, you can't sell or trade digital games, while physical games allow for a thriving secondary market, often allowing gamers to buy old discs and cartridges decades after a game was released, and often for far lower prices. Many of these games can even be played by later consoles that have back-compatibility.Doing away with discs and other physical media is great for companies like Sony, then, because they no longer have to pay to create the individual discs, no longer have to pay for the drives that play the discs, so the price of making consoles drops a bit, and it also means that secondary market for games goes away: if you want to play old games, you have to buy them from Sony, and all those used games already on the secondary market, or a game disc borrowed from a friend, are no longer competition for them, serving as alternatives to the digital version they'd prefer to sell you.Another bigger-picture concern here, though, is that this will make game preservation efforts a lot more difficult, and for many of the same reasons it will make maintaining a library and back-catalog of games difficult for consumers.Often, when a video game store shuts down, either for economic reasons or because it sells content for devices that are no longer maintained, those games and other content also go away. Sometimes they can remain on those older devices, and sometimes the digital rights management software, the DRM in that content and on those devices auto-deletes games from the hardware.Right now, for instance, Sony is saying that after it halts digital sales of PS3 and Vita games, that halting taking place over the next year, players will still be able to download their previously purchased content for the foreseeable future. That ‘foreseeable future' phrasing is doing a lot of work, there, though, and historically this kind of shut down has eventually become a full shut down, a lot of games, those that haven't been carried over to new stores to be played as vintage options on newer consoles, have simply disappeared; maybe still existing on some old hardware somewhere, if it wasn't deleted by DRM, but maybe not. In either case, preserving that software for historic research and archiving purposes becomes very difficult and expensive, at least compared to archiving the same game on a disc or cartridge.That closure of the PS3 and Vita stores, for example, is expected to result in the loss of about 2,200 digital-only games that will no longer be available for purchase, and of those, about 138 are not available on any other platform, and will thus essentially disappear.This game industry concern echoes larger concerns about what's called a digital dark age: a moment in time, maybe just a few years, maybe a few decades long during which a whole lot of the content that was created and available, disappears, possibly because of outdated file formats, maybe because the storage mediums that were used didn't hold up over time, or possibly because the data from the era was somehow corrupted, encrypted, or decayed.There's concern that a whole lot of information from the early personal computing era will disappear from historical records, for instance, because the floppy disks on which a lot of that information was stored are obsolete and thus increasingly difficult to access; few people have hardware that allows them to use floppy disks, these days.CD-ROMs, DVDs, and other optical discs are also a concern because of so-called disc rot, which refers to the chemical degradation of this storage medium. Many such discs are prone to failure because of light damage, the oxidation of their reflective layer, and the de-bonding of the adhesive that was used to hold the disc's multiple layers together.A lot of seemingly archival media might then degrade, even after being stored in a seemingly long-term fashion, which could also contribute to a dark age moment, a whole period's worth of data and entertainment and art lost because the CDs and DVDs on which they were stored simply fell apart before they could be converted to a longer-form medium. This could serve as an argument in favor of digitization, then, because many of the mediums on which these games are currently stored might degrade, anyway, and moving them to hard drives, rather than discs, could serve as a superior long-term home.That said, the concern with digitizing everything is similar, in that media made available for online purchase is simply stored in a hard drive somewhere else on the planet. If something happens to the data centers in which these games are stored, or those data centers are needed for another, more profitable purpose, or a bunch of them are destroyed in a conflict, that could result in the same outcome as disc rot and the storage of data in formats that are no longer accessible.It also makes these games susceptible to economics, though, because if the company behind them decides it's time to move on, there won't be physical copies archivists can scoop up and save; they could try to download these games, but often the nature of the software, of the DRM that keeps them from being pirated, hinders or prevents such efforts.The digitization of gaming and the shift away from physical copies of games seems to be inevitable at this point, and there are a lot of good economic, technological, and convenience reasons for it.There are quite a few downsides to this evolution as well, though, including those that negatively impact game consumers, alongside many of the same issues that threaten other types of media and data. And we don't, technologically or civilizationally, have solutions for those problems yet. And that gap could someday result in massive gulfs in our knowledge and documentation of this moment in video gaming history.Show Noteshttps://blog.archive.org/2026/04/23/gone-but-not-forgotten-recovering-the-dead-web/https://www.engadget.com/2207297/playstation-just-struck-a-hammer-blow-to-game-preservation/https://www.engadget.com/forza-horizon-4-will-be-pulled-from-digital-stores-and-game-pass-in-december-134510642.htmlhttps://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/03/why-game-archivists-are-dreading-this-months-3ds-wii-u-eshop-shutdown/https://www.engadget.com/2205792/sony-will-stop-making-disc-based-playstation-games-starting-2028/https://www.engadget.com/2207546/sony-repurposing-austrian-playstation-disc-factory/https://www.engadget.com/2206315/xbox-is-reportedly-testing-a-way-to-digitize-your-disc-based-games/https://www.engadget.com/2205792/sony-will-stop-making-disc-based-playstation-games-starting-2028/https://www.theverge.com/report/960173/microsoft-xbox-disc-to-digital-feature-physical-game-collectionhttps://www.theverge.com/games/956389/grand-theft-auto-6-gta-digital-code-in-box-physical-gameshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_dark_agehttps://longnow.org/ideas/shining-a-light-on-the-digital-dark-age/https://www.americanscientist.org/article/avoiding-a-digital-dark-agehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_game_consoleshttps://www.videogameconsolelibrary.com/history-of-game-media/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_rot This is a public episode.

    Netflix rewrites beloved characters, Sony walks away from physical media, Westeros delivers, and DC Studios stumbles out of the gate again. This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl discuss Netflix's handling of Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 and why disrespecting beloved characters is becoming one of streaming's biggest problems. They also break down Sony's latest PlayStation decisions and what they mean for the future of physical media and game ownership. Then it's back to Westeros for House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 2 before wrapping things up with their review of Supergirl (2026) and whether DC Studios has another winner on its hands. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Playstation Kill Physical Media: 06:07 AtLAB, Netfilx is why we can’t have nice things: 28:20 House of the Dragon: 41:57 Supergirl: 56:27 PlayStation Announces the End of Physical Media Announcement Date: July 1, 2026 Effective Date: January 2028 Company: Sony Interactive Entertainment Summary: Sony announced that beginning in January 2028, all new PlayStation games will be released digitally only, ending production of physical Blu-ray game discs for future releases. Games already released—or scheduled for release before the 2028 cutoff—will continue to be sold on disc, but every new title afterward will require a digital download through the PlayStation Store or participating retailers. Sony says the decision reflects changing consumer habits, noting that digital purchases now account for roughly 80% of full-game sales on PlayStation. Key Details: – Physical discs for new PlayStation releases end in January 2028. – Existing disc-based games will continue to work and remain available while supplies last. – Retailers will transition to selling digital download codes instead of boxed games. – Sony says the move follows overwhelming consumer preference for digital purchases. Why It Matters: – Gamers lose the ability to buy, sell, trade, or lend future PlayStation games. – Collectors will no longer have physical editions for new releases. – Consumers become increasingly tied to Sony's digital storefront and licensing model. – Preservation advocates worry that future games could become inaccessible if licensing changes or digital storefronts eventually close. – Digital-only distribution gives publishers greater pricing control by reducing competition from the used-game market. Discussion Points: – Do you really own a digital game, or are you simply purchasing a revocable license? – What happens to game preservation when no physical copy exists? – Will digital-only distribution lead to higher prices due to reduced retail competition? – Is convenience worth giving up ownership rights? – Does this set the stage for the PlayStation 6 to become a fully digital platform? Industry analysts increasingly believe so. Infamous Take: While digital downloads are undeniably convenient, this announcement marks the end of an era. Physical media has always given players tangible ownership, resale value, and long-term access independent of corporate licensing agreements. Sony's decision may make business sense, but it also shifts even more control away from consumers and toward platform holders; a trend that extends far beyond gaming. Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix) Season: 2 Platform: Netflix Summary: Brian and Darryl discuss Netflix's continued adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and why they believe the series is losing sight of what made the original so beloved. The conversation focuses on major character changes, the difference between adaptation and rewriting, and why respecting the heart of the source material matters just as much as updating it for a modern audience. House of the Dragon (HBO Max) Season 3, Episode 2 Title: Queen’s Landing Air Date: June 28, 2026 Director: Clare Kilner Writer: Sara Hess Summary: Following the devastating Battle of the Gullet, Rhaenyra's grief quickly turns into resolve as Team Black moves to seize King's Landing. Alicent secretly conspires to surrender the city in hopes of saving part of her family, while Daemon returns to continue the campaign. The episode marks a major turning point in the Dance of the Dragons as alliances shift, old loyalties collapse, and Rhaenyra finally claims the Iron Throne at tremendous personal cost. Rating out of 5 Otto Not So Hightower Brian: 4.5/5 Darryl: 4.45/5 Supergirl (2026) Release Date: June 26, 2026 Runtime: 108 minutes Director: Craig Gillespie Writer: Ana Nogueira Based On: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely Studio: DC Studios Distributor: Warner Bros. Pictures Summary: Kara Zor-El embarks on a brutal interstellar journey alongside the young warrior Ruthye Marye Knoll to hunt down the man responsible for murdering Ruthye's family. Along the way, Kara confronts her own trauma while facing the ruthless Krem of the Yellow Hills, resulting in a darker, more cosmic take on the Girl of Steel than previous film adaptations. Main Cast: – Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl – Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll – Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills – Jason Momoa as Lobo – David Krumholtz as Zor-El – Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze – David Corenswet as Superman (cameo) Production Notes: The second film in DC Studios' new shared universe adapts Tom King's acclaimed Woman of Tomorrow storyline, emphasizing Kara's emotional scars and cosmic adventures over a traditional superhero origin. Despite strong expectations and praise for Milly Alcock's performance, the film opened below box office projections and received mixed critical reception, making it one of the first commercial disappointments of the new DC Universe.

    Chosen by new Patreon Chris! Released in 1985 by Paramount Pictures, Summer Rental gave John Candy one of his early big-screen leading roles, with Carl Reiner directing and a cast that includes Karen Austin, Kerri Green, Joey Lawrence, Rip Torn, and Richard Crenna. Written by Mark Reisman and Jeremy Stevens, the film arrived during that golden VHS-era window when a family comedy could basically be built around one exhausted dad, one bad holiday, and the quiet national fear that your summer break might involve damp walls, sunburn, and emotional collapse.Production took the crew to Florida, with filming around St. Petersburg and St. Pete Beach before later work in Atlanta. Alan Silvestri provided the score, giving the film a breezy, seaside feel that fits its sunburnt, slightly chaotic tone. While a confirmed production budget isn't widely available, the film earned just under $25 million at the domestic box office, which is a very respectable return for a mid-80s comedy about a man slowly losing a war against relaxation.Trailer Guy SynopsisThis summer… one man will leave behind the stress of the skies… only to discover that paradise has a booking error, a plumbing problem, and absolutely no interest in giving him a break.Jack Chester is an overworked air traffic controller in desperate need of rest. So naturally, he takes his family to Florida, where the sun is hot, the locals are odd, and every attempt at relaxation turns into another small humiliation.But when one holiday dad is pushed too far, he'll have to find his confidence, protect his family's dignity, and prove that even the world's most frazzled man can still make waves. This isn't just a vacation. It's Summer Rental.Fun FactsSummer Rental was released in US cinemas on August 9, 1985.The movie was a Paramount Pictures release, arriving right in the middle of the 1980s family-comedy boom.John Candy plays Jack Chester, an air traffic controller whose job stress sets the whole holiday disaster in motion.Richard Crenna appears as Al Pellet, giving the film a perfectly smug 80s comedy antagonist.Rip Torn plays Scully, the pirate-like restaurant owner who feels as if he wandered in from a completely different, probably smellier, seaside movie.Kerri Green, who plays Jennifer Chester, also appeared in another major 1985 favourite: The Goonies.Joey Lawrence appears as Bobby Chester and was still credited as Joseph Lawrence at this stage of his career.The fictional holiday destination in the movie is Citrus Cove, Florida.The film originally came to US home video on VHS and Betamax in 1986, which feels exactly right for a movie practically designed to live on a sun-faded rental shelf.Kino Lorber later released the film on Blu-ray with a new 4K scan, giving Jack Chester's vacation trauma a level of visual clarity no stressed dad ever asked for.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Together, they explore what it means to create from a place of authenticity in a world obsessed with instant gratification. From navigating life-changing transitions to trusting the unknown, Blu + Lily reveal how healing, self-discovery, and meaningful creation unfold when we release external validation + reconnect with our intuition.  We also talk about: Why slowing down can unlock deeper creativity + purpose The spiritual lessons hidden within major life transitions Blu's experience navigating hearing loss + unexpected change How to trust divine timing when life isn't going according to plan Building authentic friendships through honesty + repair The difference between creating for validation vs. creating from the soul Letting go of perfectionism in the creative process How intuition can guide your next chapter Resources: Find Heavenly Bodies Tarot available for purchase exclusively on Amazon (US only - for now).  Instagram: @bluofearth Instagram: @lilyashwell Website: bluofearth.com Website: lilyashwell.com  Substack: https://substack.com/@lilyashwell Sponsors: Ka'Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your first order.
