It's Marvel Monday and Sam Wilson takes up the shield!ABOUT CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLDSam Wilson, the new Captain America, finds himself in the middle of an international incident and must discover the motive behind a nefarious global plan.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLDFebruary 14, 2025 | Theatrical ReleaseCAST & CREW OF CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLDDirector: Julius OnahWriters: Rob Edwards, Malcolm Spellman, Dalan MussonCast:Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Captain AmericaHarrison Ford as President Thaddeus RossDanny Ramirez as Joaquin TorresTim Blake Nelson as Samuel SternsGiancarlo Esposito as SidewinderBRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSISFive months into Thaddeus Ross' presidency, Sam Wilson is settling into life as the new Captain America — and he's already got his hands full. After a mission in Mexico, Sam and the newly minted Falcon, Joaquin Torres, recover stolen government tech. Joaquin is thrilled to be taking on the Falcon mantle, while Sam is a little more hesitant about putting him in harm's way. After all, neither of them has actual superpowers.Sam and Joaquin soon find themselves invited to a White House summit with President Ross. Ross wants to prevent a global arms race and proposes an international treaty. Seems pretty straightforward, right? Of course not.During the summit, several men — including super soldier Isaiah Bradley — suddenly open fire on Ross and other world leaders. The attackers are captured, but none of them have any idea why they did it.Joaquin tracks a phone call back to Camp Echo One, a secret government facility in West Virginia. There, they discover Dr. Samuel Sterns, a scientist who has been imprisoned by Ross for years. Sterns gained enhanced intelligence after being exposed to Bruce Banner's blood during the Abomination's rampage in Harlem, and he's been using his genius — along with "Mr. Blue" and some mind-control technology — to manipulate people.As they race to stop Sterns, they discover his real goal: destroy Ross' reputation by turning the president's own secrets against him. And Ross has plenty of secrets. He's dying from heart failure and has been taking pills created by Sterns to keep himself alive. Ross refused to release Sterns because he needed those pills, which gave Sterns a pretty big reason to want revenge. Turns out the pills he's been giving Ross have been pumping gamma radiation into his body.Sterns eventually turns himself over to Sam, but his arrest and his connection to Ross are revealed publicly during a press conference. Ross completely loses control and transforms into the Red Hulk, destroying part of the White House in the process.Sam manages to fight Ross long enough to get through to him. Ross finally comes back to himself.Isaiah Bradley is officially exonerated and Ross resigns before voluntarily being imprisoned.And just when you thought everything was wrapped up nicely, Sterns has one last warning for Sam: something is coming from other worlds.

It's Marvel Monday and the multiverse just got a lot more chaotic!ABOUT DEADPOOL & WOLVERINEDeadpool is offered a place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by the Time Variance Authority, but instead recruits a variant of Wolverine to save his universe from extinction.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR DEADPOOL & WOLVERINEJuly 26, 2024 | Theatrical ReleaseCAST & CREW OF DEADPOOL & WOLVERINEDirector: Shawn LevyWriters: Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul WernickCast:Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson/DeadpoolHugh Jackman as Logan/WolverineEmma CorrinBRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSISAlright, here's what you need to know. In 2018, Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, used a time-travel device to go back and prevent the death of his girlfriend, Vanessa.He eventually makes his way to the Sacred Timeline, hoping to join the Avengers. Unfortunately for Wade, Happy Hogan turns him down, so he heads back to his own universe.Six years later, things aren't exactly going great. Wade and Vanessa have broken up, he's retired the Deadpool suit, and he's now selling used cars alongside his friend and former teammate Peter.During his birthday party, Wade is suddenly taken by the Time Variance Authority - something that obviously needs to exist now - and brought before Mr. Paradox. Paradox explains that the TVA exists outside of time and monitors the Sacred Timeline and the larger multiverse. He offers Wade a chance to leave his universe behind and become part of the Sacred Timeline, but there's a catch: Wade's universe is slowly dying because its "anchor being," Logan, is dead.Paradox plans to speed up the process with a device called the Time Ripper. Wade isn't exactly thrilled with that plan because he's quite fond of his universe, so he steals Paradox's device that allows him to travel to Logan's grave, hoping he can somehow bring him back to life, Evanescence style. When that doesn't work, Wade starts jumping across the multiverse looking for a different version of Logan, aka Wolverine, who can take Logan's place in his universe.Eventually, Wade brings one back to the TVA, but Paradox isn't impressed. This Logan is apparently the worst Wolverine in the entire multiverse, and Paradox explains that an anchor being can't simply be replaced. Wade also realizes that Paradox is doing all of this without the approval of his bosses, so Paradox sends Wade and Logan to the Void.Wade convinces Logan that the TVA might be able to change his past, giving the two of them a reason to work together and escape the Void. Instead, they are captured alongside Johnny Storm, who looks a whole lot like Captain America, and brought before Cassandra Nova, the powerful and extremely unhinged twin sister of Charles Xavier.Cassandra has made a deal with the TVA to rule the Void, and she quickly proves that she's not someone Wade wants to mess with. She kills Johnny and leaves Wade and Logan to be eaten by a giant smoke creature, but the two manage to escape.After meeting a couple of Deadpool variants, including Nicepool and Dogpool, Wade and Logan are pointed toward a resistance group fighting against Cassandra. They find this group and Deadpool proposes an alliance and they attack Cassandra. They fight real good but Cassandra ultimately heals herself and sends Wade and Logan back to Earth-10005.Cassandra learns about the Time Ripper and now wants to use it to destroy every timeline and leave nothing behind except the Void, cuz she's the bad guy in a Marvel movie.Paradox finally reveals that the Time Ripper can be destroyed, but doing so would require one person to disrupt its power source and sacrifice themselves. Wade and Logan refuse to let the other make that sacrifice, so they do it together. The two of them manage to destroy the Time Ripper, killing Cassandra in the process, and survive via the power of friendship.Paradox is arrested and Earth-10005 is saved. Logan is allowed to stay in Wade's universe. Wade is reunited with his friends and Logan encourages Wade to finally make things right with Vanessa.

In October 2013, a young Dane named Thor Pedersen set off from his home with a single, slightly mad rule: he wanted to visit every country on earth — all of them — in one continuous journey, and to do it without ever once setting foot on an airplane. Container ships, trains, buses, and a great deal of waiting around. He thought it might take three or four years. It took almost ten. He crossed closed borders and war zones, ran out of money more than once, was stranded for two years by the global pandemic, and served the whole time as a Goodwill Ambassador for the Red Cross. In 2023 he became the first person in history to do it. In this episode, Jonathan Thomas talks to Thor about the whole extraordinary decade — and, this being the Anglotopia Podcast, spends a good while on Britain, which came remarkably early in the itinerary. Thor recounts crossing from Calais to Dover after meeting Syrian refugees at the port, being awestruck by Bristol's maritime heritage, a memorable host in Wales whose front garden contained a toilet lying on its side, a Red Cross officer in Belfast who felt like the James Bond of the Red Cross, falling for the Scottish countryside, buying dodgy Les Misérables tickets in London, a desperate dash for seasickness pills in Immingham, and Hogmanay in Inverness courtesy of a kind bartender. But the deeper story is the one Thor tells in an unusual way: he doesn't sell it as a triumph. He's honest about the loneliness, the setbacks, the cerebral malaria, the migraines, the moments at gunpoint, the two years stuck in Hong Kong — and about the thing that actually got him around the world, which turned out not to be toughness at all, but the kindness of strangers.

Thor Pedersen Thor Pedersen — Official Website The Impossible Journey — Thor's Site Once Upon A Saga — The Original Project Blog Thor Pedersen on Instagram Thor Pedersen on Facebook Speaking Engagements & Talks ⠀Mentioned in the Episode The Danish Red Cross International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) British Red Cross The Adventurers' Club of Denmark The Explorers Club, New York Hong Kong Tourism Board The Danish Seamen's Church, Hong Kong The California Zephyr — Amtrak ⠀Anglotopia Friends of Anglotopia Club ⠀ Takeaways 1 The idea arrived by email. Thor's father sent him a link about the world's most-travelled people, and Thor — then 34, twelve years into a career in shipping and logistics, and having visited around 50 countries — discovered that roughly 200 people had reached every country, but nobody had done it entirely without flying. He describes it striking him "like lightning." 2 His definition of "every country" was deliberately generous. The UN recognizes 193 sovereign states plus two observer states (the Vatican and Palestine). Thor built on that, splitting the Danish kingdom into Denmark, the Faroes and Greenland, and splitting the UK into England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland — arriving at 203 — precisely so nobody could come back afterward and say "but what about Kosovo?" 3 Britain came very early — country numbers seven through ten, in late 2013, just weeks after leaving Denmark. He crossed Calais to Dover after meeting Syrian refugees camped by the rail tracks, was refused as a foot passenger, and got across by knocking on car windows until a driver calling himself Rambling Rat let him ride along. 4 Travelling only overland and by sea teaches you something you cannot learn from an airplane: how enormous the world actually is, and how gradually it changes. Thor points out that at borders, people wear the same clothes, eat the same food, often share a language — and the plants and animals don't care which side they're on. The real changes happen further inland. 5 He became a Red Cross Goodwill Ambassador early on, which transformed the project. Within weeks he realized it wasn't a country project but a people project. Meeting national Red Cross societies gave him rapid, genuine insight into each country — its economy, its government, whether it was a strong or weak society — and gave balance to a social media feed that otherwise risked being relentlessly, artificially upbeat. 6 Two years in, in Central Africa, everything collapsed at once: he lost financial backing, his long-distance relationship was falling apart, he was recovering from cerebral malaria, he was suffering debilitating migraines for the first time in his life, and his life was at risk more than once. It was the point at which he genuinely broke — and the point at which he first wanted to go home. He still had eight years left. 7 The pandemic stranded him in Hong Kong for two years. He'd arrived expecting a four-day transit stop. Immigration eventually told him he couldn't stay indefinitely as a visitor and offered three options: marry someone, study, or work. He ended up employed by the Danish Seamen's Church as "junior assistant to a reverend who wasn't there," shopping for seafarers trapped aboard their ships and unable to come ashore. 8 Hong Kong was both the worst and best chapter. CNN picked up his story, which went viral and transformed his profile. The Hong Kong Tourism Board nicknamed him "Hong Kong's only tourist." By the end he had two apartments, two cars, a driver's licence, a temporary ID card and a dentist. It remains the place in the world he misses most. 9 He felt no joy at all on reaching the final countries. Sri Lanka, then the Maldives on 23 May 2023 — everything had become "automated and mechanic," and he was working through interviews while everyone else scuba dived and drank martinis. The project was successful in the Maldives, but it was completed when he got home to Aarhus, 31 days later by container ship — 40 container ships in total across the decade. 10 Thor's strongest observation about travel is that most of the world is deeply ordinary. People go to work, go to school, spend time with family, follow their sports teams. He travelled through the Game of Thrones years and found everyone everywhere talking about it. He saw a boy in Libya spinning a Captain America shield fidget spinner. We are, he argues, far more connected than we think. ⠀ Soundbites 1 "I found out no one had accomplished it completely without flying. For most people that would be an uh-huh kind of moment, and then people would move on. But it struck me like lightning." — Thor on the email from his father that started everything. 2 "There's a common phrase where people say it's a small world. It really isn't. If it was a small world, I think I would have been back home a lot sooner." — Thor on what a decade overland teaches you. 3 "Around most border areas, people wear the same clothes. You get the same food on either side. The plants and the animals in the area do not care which side of the border they're on." — Thor on seeing where countries actually meet. 4 "Within weeks I realized that this wasn't a country project, that this was a people project." — Thor on the shift that changed everything. 5 "I was in Central Africa and I was deep in over my head. I lost financial backing. My long-distance relationship was falling apart. I was recovering from cerebral malaria. My life was at risk several times. And I just lost the motivation to continue." — Thor on the moment it broke him, two years in. 6 "If there was a competition within hospitality globally, like the Olympics, we would be on the bench watching the other countries. We are kind and helpful and friendly — but we have no idea how friendly we could be." — Thor comparing Northern European and global hospitality. 7 "I made an excuse that I was going to the bathroom, but really what I wanted to do was go and pay for all of us. And on my way there, they already knew what I was up to and shouted to the cashier — don't let him pay, we will take care of it." — Thor on his host Dafala in Sudan. 8 "So I was hired to be the junior assistant to a reverend who wasn't there." — Thor on how he solved his Hong Kong immigration problem. 9 "I arrived with my hat and my backpack, and when I was at my highest I had two apartments, I had two cars, I had access to the port, I had my driver's licence, I had a dentist.

It is just people getting by in life, making the best of the situations that they have.

Our countdown to DOOMSDAY has begun and Captain America is back, well at least Steve Rogers. We're back to discuss Captain America The First Avenger and how does Steve, more importantly Peggy, fit into DOOMSDAY. We get into Cap politics with the Avengers. Who did Cap love more, Bucky or Peggy! Did Steve damn all the Avengers going back in time and creating life with Peggy? When we get introduced to a character how long should it take until we see them again? Why are the shows or films about the predecessor unsuccessful? Is Cap MAINLY to blame for DOOM coming? And we answer the question that brought you here, WAS IT GOOD THOUGH?

Johnny Mac recaps daily comedy news after falling behind due to jury duty, focusing on the Emmys and Stephen Colbert's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He highlights a widely shared John Mulaney Emmys bit about male TV actors and reads a passage from Frank Vincent's A Guy's Guide to Being a Man's Man. Colbert wins an Emmy for The Late Show's final year and uses his speech to credit writers and encourage hiring his staff; he later visits Kimmel, jokes about CBS, gets his beard shaved on-air, and gives Kimmel a Captain America shield from The Late Show set to mount permanently. Mac runs through other Emmys notes, riffs that Bob's Burgers doesn't exist, mentions Marcelo Hernandez's Emmys moment, John Oliver joking about turning 50, the Pete Davidson/Colin Jost Snapple Island Ferry comedy event, Kevin Hart and Henry Cavill filming a Netflix spy movie possibly titled The Serpent and the Snake, upcoming podcast episodes, thoughts on Jo Koy's new special, and details about Tires and comedian Evan Dubois. 00:10 Mulaney Emmy Monologue03:34 Colbert Emmy Win Speech05:49 Colbert Visits Kimmel08:03 More Emmy Winners Recap08:31 Bob Burgers Hoax Bit09:37 Marcelo Hernandez Emmy Moment11:30 John Oliver Turns 5011:48 Snapple Ferry Comedy Club13:04 Kevin Hart Spy Movie14:03 Show Schedule Updates14:24 Jo Koy Special Review15:30 Tires and Steve Gerben17:19 Toronto Comic Evan Dubois18:06 Wrap Up and Sign OffBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Today's DCN is brought to you by MyBookie use promo code DCN!Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.

Lets breakdown the casting announcements and speculate where the X-Men could go in the MCU.

It's all there in the title, right? On today's episode, we came up with nine examples of what we're calling… good-azz comics. These are books we read in our youth—some seminal moments in a character's history, and others simply monthly installments that we happened to love. A few of the issues covered in the discussion are Uncanny X-Men #123 featuring the villainous Arcade; Action Comics #436 where Perry White temporarily gets superpowers; and Captain America #350 with a retired Steve Rogers squaring off with John Walker. On the pod, we define exactly what makes a comic a good-azz comic, dig into why these issues resonated with us as kids and do they still hold up, and celebrate creators who made it their mission to deliver good-azz comics month after month. We wrap things up with a big question: Is there such a thing as a universally loved good-azz comic?

This week, Eisner Award-winning writer Saladin Ahmed joins the AIPT Comics podcast to talk about three very different heroes currently occupying his writing desk: Cheetara, Wolverine, and Bishop.With ThunderCats: Cheetara launching September 9, Ahmed discusses taking one of Third Earth's most mysterious heroes into her own ongoing series, the troubling visions that challenge what she knows about ThunderCats history, working with artist Andrea Arcari, and the freedom Dynamite has given him to push and reshape the mythology.The conversation also returns to the X-Men universe, where Ahmed's working on Wolverine and Bishop. We dig into where both characters currently stand, the distinct challenges of writing two veteran mutants, and what Ahmed is building toward in each series.Visit our Patreon page to see the various tiers you can sign up for today to get in on the ground floor of AIPT Patreon.

Cheetara has always been one of the more mysterious ThunderCats because of her visions. What excited you about making those visions the engine of an ongoing series rather than just a supporting trait?2. The solicitation mentions voices that contradict the Book of Omens and even praise the Mu'Tants. Were you interested in exploring how faith or certainty can be challenged when someone suddenly has conflicting truths?3. One thing I've always liked about Cheetara is that she's often the calmest person in the room while everyone else is reacting emotionally. How did you approach giving her an internal journey that still feels true to that personality?4. This is your first project with Dynamite and your first time writing ThunderCats. What surprised you most once you started digging into the mythology? Was there a corner of the universe you found yourself unexpectedly fascinated by?5. Andrea Ancari is relatively new to American readers. What did you see in his storytelling that made him the right artist for a book balancing action, visions, and psychological mystery?6. ThunderCats has existed across cartoons, comics, and multiple reinterpretations over decades. Were there specific versions of Cheetara you found yourself drawing inspiration from, or did you intentionally try to build your own voice for her?Wolverine / X-Men questions1. One thing I've really enjoyed in your Wolverine run is seeing Logan genuinely vulnerable again. Between the broken claws and now the healing factor failing, what opportunities does a weakened Wolverine create that an invincible Wolverine simply can't?2. Wolverine #21 was almost a bottle episode, with Logan and Nightcrawler just trying to relax before everything goes wrong. How important are those quieter character issues when you're writing someone who's usually defined by violence?3. Julius Ohta has become a fantastic collaborator on the series. Are there moments where his storytelling or acting has changed the way you approached later scripts?Bishop / X-office questionWith both Wolverine and Bishop, you've been working inside a very interconnected X-Men line. How much collaboration happens behind the scenes? Bonus fun questionYou've now written everything from Miles Morales to Wolverine, Daredevil, and now Cheetara. Is there a dream character or franchise that still sits on your bucket list where, if the phone rang tomorrow, you'd immediately say yes?

Jim Hill returns from the D23 Expo with a firsthand look at Marvel's latest reveals, while Dan Graney digs into a new Avengers: Doomsday trailer that appears to answer several theories from Episode 23. They break down Doctor Doom's motivations, Marvel's newly revealed X-Men cast, Vision Quest, and the latest trailer for Ahsoka Season 2. Then the conversation turns to a crossover that once sounded like a Patton Oswalt punchline but is now real: Marvel and Star Wars are officially colliding in the five-issue Hope Assembles comic series. HIGHLIGHTS • The new Avengers: Doomsday trailer offers fresh clues about Victor Von Doom, his lost family, and his plans for the multiverse. • Jim reports from D23 on Marvel's TVA-style experience, Doom's throne room, and a detailed blueprint of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. • Marvel reveals a new X-Men cast including Sadie Sink, Kit Connor, Christopher Abbott, Samara Weaving, Indy Navarrette, and Adam Driver as Mister Sinister. • Vision Quest brings White Vision face-to-face with manifestations of familiar MCU artificial intelligences, including JARVIS and Ultron. • Ahsoka Season 2 sets up Thrawn's war, Ahsoka's continuing questions about her Jedi identity, and new mysteries involving Baylan Skoll and the Mortis mythology. • Marvel and Star Wars collide in Hope Assembles, a five-issue comic series written by Kevin Smith with art by David Marquez. • Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca cross into Marvel's Earth-616, where heroes including Captain America, Spider-Man, Black Widow, and Hulk enter the fight. • Doctor Doom and Marvel villains join forces with Darth Vader and the Empire in a crossover that makes Patton Oswalt's legendary Parks and Recreation filibuster feel strangely prophetic.

Kellan Lutz (Twilight, The Legend of Hercules) joins us this week for an unexpectedly deep and disarming conversation about leaving California for Tennessee, the intensive couples therapy that cracked open a childhood he had completely blacked out, and the post Twilight pressure that made him lose his secret sauce while chasing roles like Captain America and Thor. Kellan opens up about the rowboat analogy that changed his marriage, the Jeff Bridges advice he carried with him from his very first movie, and why he walked around doing press in a fake Hercules accent for months.
