Een vrolijk paasweekend namens je favoriete nerds! De feestvreugde heeft deze aflevering wat verhinderd, maar niet doen vergeten. Ook in voor- of tegenspoed, slaaptekorten en katers, duiken wij in aflevering 205 van Nerd Culture weer in de wereld van geek en nerd nieuws! We bespreken wat we hebben gekeken en gelezen, van Gord en Sinners tot Moana 2, bespreken het laatste nieuws van Star Wars Celebration 2025, hebben trailers van onder andere Fantastic Four en 28 Years Later, en tonen het bewijs dat Tom Cruise steeds meer op je tante gaat lijken! Welkom bij Nerd Culture #205 van 20 april.Star Wars Celebration 2025Jullie masters of ceremony van vandaag, zijnde de heren Jelle Kunst en Huey Brown, doen een uitgebreide nabespreking over de nieuwtjes van Star Wars Celebration 2025. Met toch wel de nodige spraakmakende aankondigingen en berichten. Star Wars Starfighter is aangekondigd, waarin de lead zal gaan naar Ryan Gosling. Ook zijn er de tweede seizoenen aangekondigd van zowel Ahsoka als van Light & Magic, een animatieserie over Darth Maul in Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord, de eigen aanstelling van Kathleen Kennedy en nog heel veel meer!Tom Cruise & Florence Phugh: Stunt CultureNaast de nieuwtjes over Star Wars, bespreken wij ook weer de laatste nieuwtjes uit Hollywood. Florence Phugh gaat haar eigen stunts doen, en wie weet kan zij daar binnenkort wel een Oscar uit slepen. Speaking of je eigen stunts doen: Celebrity deskundige en opiniemaker Jelle Kunst spotte de laatste foto van Tom Cruise, en wil graag stilstaan bij zijn (niet zo'n) sierlijke ouderdom...De trailer van de langverwachte 28 Years LaterDat lees je goed: Pun unintended. Er is reikhalzend uitgekeken naar de laatste aanvulling van deze horror klassiekers. Na bijna 20 jaar te moeten wachten waren de grappen over de eerste aankondiging van 28 Years Later laaghangend fruit in de studio. Een ander ding waar wij graag naar uitkijken deze aflevering is de trailer van Jurassic World Rebirth.

Could Star Wars star John Boyega be heading to the MCU as Bishop?! In today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the viral comments from Boyega himself, who revealed that he once spoke with Kevin Feige and now wants to play the time-traveling mutant Bishop in Marvel's upcoming X-Men reboot. Could this be the perfect role for him? Boyega reflects on his journey from Attack the Block to The Force Awakens and why joining the MCU now — as Bishop — might be exactly what he needs. We also explore how X-Men '97 is reigniting interest in Bishop's live-action debut. Plus, we cover a jam-packed lineup of entertainment news:

Sometimes you just gotta say, "What the fork?" ...or something like that. Forty years ago Tom Cruise starred in this coming of age story that set him up for superstardom. The story stood out from your typical teen movie of the time. This week Jay and Shua look back at how to Enjoy a little Risky Business.    Enjoy Stuff looks back at Risky Business on it's 40th anniversary   News An auction of vintage Disney parks memorabilia acquired a lot of money Lunar Lander is a classic Atari game from the early days of arcades. Now it's being revived Cap'n Crunch is finally getting an accurate uniform with his latest update IDW comics is set to release a Star Trek Lower Decks Choose Your Own Adventure comic Paint your nails with Froot Loops! Well, the ELF Froot Loops polish   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Jay found John Boyega almost unrecognizable in the bizarre sci-fi Netflix film They Cloned Tyrone. Boyega plays a street-wise drug dealer that stumbles onto a government conspiracy of scientific experiments on the black population in the neighborhood. Shua just got back from Disney World. His family powered through all four parks and hit a ton of rides. But he chickened out on the important ones.  Enjoy Movies!  Paul Brickman wrote and directed the 1983 movie Risky Business. It looked like your typical teen sex comedy of the time, but the way he crafted it turned into something unique. Tom Cruise plays Joel Goodson, a high school senior who is left home alone when his controlling parents leave town for a week. His responsibility? Keep his upper-class, fancy home and his dad's Porsche in perfect order while working hard on school and trying to get into Harvard.    Sounds like something any teen could handle. Yeah,...right. Peer pressure and hormones push him to get a little crazy and order a call girl. Eventually this leads him to running his own brothel in his parents' home. When Guido the killer pimp gets his revenge by stealing everything in the house including his mother's precious crystal egg, Joel has to use all the money he made and buy it all back before his parents get home.    We'll break down some of the themes and why this movie worked and actually stands up to time.    Have you seen Risky Business? Did you use your parents' house for creative purposes when they left town? First person that emails me with the subject line, “What the fudge” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

Bam! Aflevering 105 van Nerd Culture op de vroege zondagochtend. Zet het koffieapparaat aan, ga er even goed voorzetten en ga met ons mee op tijdreis naar het jaar 2005 en uiteraard de vele nieuwtjes die de afgelopen week de revue passeerden waaronder een Robocop reboot! Evil Dead Rise Review Deze week zijn we naar de premiere geweest van Evil Dead Rise. Het nieuwste deel uit de Evil Dead franchise die verder borduurt op de wat meer serieuzere take uit de remake van 2013. We zijn hier natuurlijk allemaal opgegroeid met de classics van Bruce Campbell en Sam Raimi, en vinden het bijzonder hoe hun legacy in 2023 nog steeds een goede basis is voor paranormale body horror. Koos ging deze week in zijn eentje en daarom geen losstaande review, maar een wat meer beknoptere versie hier in aflevering 105. Guardians of the Galaxy vol.3  Ook zijn we deze week naar Guardians of the Galaxy vol.3 geweest en hoewel we daar nog helemaal niets over mogen zeggen, daarvoor moet je nog eventjes wachten tot 1 mei, hebben we er wel wat nieuws over. Zo krijgt James Gunn voor het eerst met forse kritiek van DC fans te maken. De fans vinden het belachelijk dat de kleurrijke regisseur en DC studios baas een Marvel film aan het promoten is. Gunn wilde hier niets van weten en deelde een statement op social media om dit te adresseren.  Keert John Boyega terug bij Star Wars? Een Nerd Culture episode zou geen Nerd Culture zijn zonder Star Wars nieuws en ook deze week valt er weer genoeg te bespreken. Zo was daar Episode 24 aka de seizoensfinale van The Mandalorian. De meningen over dit derde seizoen zijn stevig verdeeld terwijl we terugblikken op de live-action serie op Disney+. Ook gaan daar ineens de geruchten dat John Boyega gaat terugkeren in de Star Wars franchise. Vorige week wisten we nog te melden dat Daisy Ridley's character Rey een nieuwe Jedi Order gaat oprichten in Episode X en de kans is groot dat ook Boyega daar bij zal zijn. Dit is verrassend, want niet heel lang geleden haalde de Britse acteur flink uit naar Disney en Lucasfilm en liet hij weten spijt te hebben van zijn keuzes. Waarom denkt hij er nu anders over? Is het een grote zak geld of is de lucht geklaard? Support Nerd Culture via Podcasting 2.0 apps Brievenmaandag is tegenwoordig ook als podcast te beluisteren en daarmee maken we ook gelijk de overstap naar Podcasting 2.0 en het value4value systeem.

The Woman King, ou A Mulher Rei é o mais novo filme estrelado por Viola Davis, tida por muitos (inclusive por este podcast) como a mais importante atriz da atualidade. Aos 57 anos, ela esbanja energia, carisma e vigor físico para interpretar uma das personagens mais, digamos, fora da curva de uma galeria repleta de grandes performances. ::Trazendo um pouquinho mais sobre a história do filme, A Mulher Rei acompanha Nanisca, uma comandante do exército Agojie, do Reino de Daomé, um dos locais mais poderosos da África nos séculos 18 e 19. Durante o período, esse grupo militar de elite era composto apenas por mulheres que, juntas, combateram colonizadores franceses, tribos rivais e todos aqueles que tentaram escravizar seu povo e destruir suas terras. ::Além da Viola Davis, temos no elenco nomes de peso como Lashana Lynch, lá de 007, Jamie Lawson, do último Batman, Thuso Mbedu, da série The Underground Railroad e John Boyega, de Star Wars.

How are schools across the nation faring now that school is back in session? Is life in school back to normal or are their still looming effects caused by the pandemic? We've all heard of teacher and staff shortages and parents pulling kids from public school because of curriculum issues. It seems, schools are stressed.According to a 2020 survey conducted by teachers' union, the National Education Association, 55% of educators are thinking about leaving the profession earlier than they planned. But its not just teachers, according to the teachers union everyone from janitors to bus drivers to cooks are looking for a way out.5 Things Sunday host James Brown sat down with USA TODAY education reporter Alia Wong and Sydney Boyega, a Texas teacher who inspired this episode, to try to understand what is happening in schools.According to Boyega, there is a lot of misconceptions about teachers. She said people think because they went to a K-12 school that teaching is easy. She compares that to saying you can direct the movie 'Star Wars' just because you've watched it a couple of times.Follow James Brown and Alia Wong on Twitter.For more on the teacher shortages and how education in being impacted read: Teacher shortage 2020: Charts, maps show the data by state.Biden, job search companies partner to take on teacher shortage.Schools wouldn't have teacher shortages if they helped, supported them - USA TODAY.Middle school science teachers often struggle with shaky scientific knowledge.

We wrap up "summer" with this episode of BEHIND THE LENS with writer/director MICHAEL MANDELL talking about THE MOVIE, plus my exclusive prerecorded interview with writer/director ABI DAMARIS CORBIN talking about the powerful John Boyega-led film, BREAKING. Writer/Director ABI DAMARIS CORBIN has taken one true story involving a veteran and the failures of the VA system and society and delivers the emotionally charged drama, BREAKING. Led by John Boyega and Michael K. Williams in his final film role, BREAKING is the story of former Marine Lance Corporal Brian Brown-Easley and the challenges he faced mentally and emotionally as he tried to reintegrate into civilian life on leaving the military only to have his efforts end in tragedy. As part of the fallacies with veterans' benefits, there is a law on the books that the VA is entitled to recover money directly from a veteran who stops attending classes or drops too many courses. Despite dealing with extreme PTSD and mental issues, in an effort to retrain himself and help provide for his beloved daughter Jayla, Brian had enrolled in computer classes. But he stopped attending and the government garnished his entire veteran's monthly benefit of $892 while claiming he still owed repayment of $271. As a result, Brian decided to showed up at a Wells Fargo bank branch outside of Marietta, Georgia and slipped a note to a teller that he had a bomb in his backpack. Brian allowed all employees except two to leave and called 911 and a local TV news outlet himself, apprising them of the situation. Working with the Brown-Easley family, Corbin delivers a film that is undeniably riveting and heartbreaking as we are with Boyega as Brown-Easley inside the bank during the hostage situation, getting into his head and his heart. And then we welcome the fun-filled writer/director MICHAEL MANDELL to the show to talk about his narrative feature debut, THE MOVIE, a film that truly does stand by the mantra "It's Only Compelling If It's Real!". A dark and twisted tale rooted in reality, it's irresistible and irresistibly funny. Dark and twisted, THE MOVIE draws us in ever deeper with every passing frame as we meet former child actor Janet Gillespie and obsessed fan and wannabe filmmaker Walter. It's no holds barred as Michael discusses the idea for the story, film's location (his own house!), production design, cinematography and the challenges of shooting within the confines of the house and its furnishings, and above all, the performances of Jarrod Pistilli and Bonnie Root, the latter who shot the entire film with hands tied and body strapped upright to a dolly! http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

This week on the pod John, Jeff & Dave discuss Breaking, the new film, based on a true story, starring John Boyega as a US Marine veteran who demands the VA pay him his disability checks, which have been held up by bureaucratic crap that the US military doesn't want to confront ever, ever. Therefore, Boyega's Brian Brown-Easley makes a bold decision to make his situation known at the risk of his own life. We discussed the incredibly important content of the film as compared to the final product, which was directed by relative new-comer to feature film directing, Abi Damaris Corbin, who co-wrote the script with Kwame Kwei-Armah. Boyega also co-exec produced, and the supporting cast is led by Michael K. Williams in one of his final performances. RIP!

Director: Abi Damaris Corbin Screenwriters: Abi Damaris Corbin and Kwame Kwei-Armah Starring: John Boyega, Michael Kenneth Williams, Nicole Beharie, and Selenis Leyva Cinematographer: Doug Emmett Sundance Synopsis: Living in a cheap motel in Atlanta and separated from his wife and child, former U.S. Marine veteran Brian Easley is desperate. Driven to the brink by forces beyond his control, the soft-spoken, kind man decides to rob a bank and hold hostages with a bomb. As police, media, and family members descend on the bank and Brian, it becomes clear he's not after money — he wants to tell his story and have what is rightfully his, even if it costs him his life. **** Director Abi Damaris Corbin the John Boyega-led, debut is an hour and fifteen minute drama that takes places almost entirely inside of a bank. Yes, this (loosely) based on true events story is a hostage situation. With that  framework comes all the expected trappings of a mobilized police response, the appearance of the FBI, stressful encounters, tense and conversations between people inside and outside the bank. It's an tense standoff that from the outset makes it clear Easley is at a crisis point and is willing walking towards tragedy. Boyega turns in a solid performance of a mild-manner man desperate to be heard. Unfortunately, while the narrow focus on the hours inside the bank work beautifully to showcase the almost instance militarized response of law enforcement, it does little to ground the audience otherwise.  Corbin's script underserves this stellar ensemble made up of Nicole Beharie, Michael Kenneth Williams, Selenis Leyva, Connie Britton and Olivia Washington at almost every turn. The characters avoid being poorly drawn characters due only to the caliber of the actors. The slight is made more obvious by the skill demonstrated by smartly designed scene transitions and set composition. There's a hollowness that not even Boyega's emotional performance can fill.  As a gateway to understanding that desperation always has a cause and ably pointing out the multi-system failure that triggered Easly's last ditch effort to be heard, 892 is far more successful. With slick slight of hand and strategic placement of flashbacks, Corbin designs an indictment of the convolutedness that is the Department of Veteran's Affairs.  There's a lot here to unpack, unfortunately not enough of it focuses on U.S. Marine veteran Brian Easley.  On the podcast: Ro and guest Britt dig into 892 892 may veer off course when it comes to being a serviceable biopic or even ably handling the complexity of Easly's plight but, it will absolutely raise your anxiety level and provoke.  Spoiler-free, but theme heavy, discussion with guest critic Britt W from popculturereviews.com where we dig into what works - and what doesn't - the set arrangement and filmmaking that went into designing the narrative - and what's the take away from a story that focuses less on the central character in order to  And like all good festival conversations, the topics veer to other projects screening and the impact or ways they can inform each other.

This time on Force Fed Sci-Fi, we are beginning our look into the Star Wars sequel films with Episode 7: The Force Awakens. Along the way we ask, is 30 years simply too long a time to simply resume the saga, how can someone like Kylo Ren have both daddy and granddaddy issues and how much nostalgia is too much? Let's take our first steps and dive in as we discuss and review The Force Awakens ….. Disney's Acquisition of LucasFilm and the Beginnings of the Next Triology To properly begin the story of The Force Awakens, we have to go behind the scenes for a little bit and travel back to 2012 when Disney acquired LucasFilm. A hefty price tag of $4 billion for the acquisition and with that, the announcement of a new round of Star Wars films would be produced. George Lucas, the creator of the Star Wars franchise, had actually developed ideas for a new round of films as far back as the 1980's, but made the prequels first to round out the story that the original trilogy started. However, Lucas never got around to making Episodes 7, 8 or 9. Our hosts speculate that the effort of making the prequels and the backlash he was receiving for those in addition to the near constant changes he was adding to the original films probably didn't motivate him to direct another film. Following Disney's major purchase, legendary producer Kathleen Kennedy was placed in charge of LucasFilm and tabbed JJ Abrams as the director for Episode 7 who quickly moved to say that Lucas' ideas for the sequel films would not be used and they would proceed with their own creative group and ideas. There is much speculation as to why Abrams and Kennedy would go this route (probably Disney execs), but the bottom line is that Lucas had plenty of time to make those films and he simply chose not to do so. Star Wars The Force Awakens Cast List Original Cast Harrison Ford as Han Solo: Obviously Ford has had a great career outside of playing Solo, but he returns to the role that made him a star and is a bright spot for this film. Unfortunately, we are met with his death at the end. We won't lie, it got us feeling sad as we see a beloved Star Wars character's story come to an end, killed by his own son too! Carrie Fischer as General Organa: Fischer returns to her legendary role and contributes to the reunion of the original trilogy cast. The years were not exactly kind to Fischer as she struggled with alcohol and drugs, but it should be noted that she publicly spoke about it, even in seminars, to bring awareness to alcoholism and addiction. We thank you Carrie! Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker: While Hamill has no lines of dialogue, his presence in the film serves as a McGuffin. Our hosts believe that he was not made a bigger part in the film as it would be distracting from the newer, younger actors (as it was we already had Solo and Leia taking attention away from the newcomers). Anthony Daniels as C-3PO: It was nice to see him come back once again to reprise his role adding to the reunion of the original trilogy cast. Peter Mayhew/Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca: Peter Mayhew returned to role of Chewbacca, but did not perform the part for the whole film due to knee and back problems; therefore, newcomer Joonas Suotamo also portrayed the part of Chewbacca in this film, and would take over the role in subsequent films. Newcomer Cast List Daisy Ridley as Rey: Ridley's major credits prior to being cast were several short films, but her performance helped launch her career as she's since starred in films like Murder on the Orient Express, Ophelia and the Peter Rabbit series. John Boyega as Finn: Our hosts have discussed Boyega in a prior film on the show, Attack the Block and we finally get to see him in a major blockbuster film! Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron: Isaac had filled up his resume with several minor roles prior to 2013 when he landed the lead in the Coen Brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis and like his counterparts,
