James Gunn has officially announced the story for the next Superman film, kicking off what he's calling The Superman Saga! On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, Kristian Harloff and Steph Sabraw break down what Gunn revealed, how it sets the tone for DC's future, and what fans can expect from this highly anticipated project. But that's not all—there's a ton of other big movie news to cover. Paramount is moving forward with Top Gun 3, new Star Trek and World War Z plans. We'll also dig into the latest James Bond casting rumors that have caused plenty of confusion. Plus, Cate Blanchett says she's open to working with David Fincher on a Squid Game project, and Universal has officially secured the Bourne rights in perpetuity.
"Summer Surprise" continues with...what's this? Another witch movie?? That's right, but this one has a hell of a pedigree. A family dark-fantasy romp from Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, starring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett, and directed by...Eli Roth?? Huh. So how did the infamous filmmaker behind such extreme horror hits as Cabin Fever, Hostel, and Thanksgiving handle the opportunity to helm a more family-friendly adventure story based on the first book in a popular series of children's novels? Was this still an effective match for his twisted sensibilities, or a defective marriage of contrasting styles? Can Jack Black's unique charisma keep this clock ticking? How does it compare to the Goosebumps films of the same era, also starring Black? Is there such a thing as too many poop jokes? We discuss all this, and more!

Folge #230: WarfareVon Adam Sandler-Nostalgie, Körper-Horror und Kriegs-Trauma! Shake it, Baby! Nach einem kleinen Austausch über Zeljkos morgendlichen Protein-Shake geht's direkt in eine vollgepackte Filmwoche. Timo hat sich einem nostalgischen Double Feature gewidmet und Happy Gilmore 1 & 2 angesehen. Während der erste Teil auch heute noch eine grandiose Komödie ist, die richtig Spaß macht, entpuppt sich die fast 30 Jahre später erschienene Fortsetzung als eher lauer Aufguss. Trotz charmanter Wiedersehen mit alten Charakteren ist der Film zu lang und zu sehr auf "Kennste, kennste?"-Momente ausgelegt. Das führt zu einer kleinen Diskussion über den Humor von Adam Sandler und die Schwierigkeit von Comedy-Sequels. Zeljko war derweil gleich zwei Mal im Kino! Zuerst landete er in Together, einem Film, den er als absolutes Highlight und potenziellen Top-10-Kandidaten des Jahres feiert. Die frische Mischung aus Body-Horror, Beziehungsdrama und Komödie mit Dave Franco und Alison Brie hat ihn komplett überzeugt. Ganz anders sah es bei Steven Soderberghs Black Bag aus. Der Spionagethriller mit Top-Besetzung (Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett) war für ihn eine riesige Enttäuschung – ein unterkühlter, langweiliger Film, den Timo als klassischen Fall von "Style over Substance" bestätigt. Doch der Film der Woche, Alex Garlands Warfare, ist der Punkt, an dem sich die Geister scheiden. Zeljko respektiert den Film für seine Authentizität und sein starkes Handwerk, wurde aber emotional nicht richtig abgeholt. Er fühlte sich von dem rohen, ungeschönten Stil, der ohne treibenden Score auskommt, eher distanziert und war am Ende unterwältigt, obwohl er die Qualität anerkannte. Für Timo hingegen war der Film eine absolute Wucht. Die zermürbende Anspannung der ersten Hälfte und der brutale, in Echtzeit gefilmte Kugelhagel der zweiten Hälfte haben ihn komplett durchgerüttelt und sprachlos zurückgelassen. Der Film, co-inszeniert von einem echten Navy SEAL, der bei dem Einsatz dabei war, vermittelt für ihn die Sinnlosigkeit des Krieges so intensiv wie kaum ein anderer. Ein Film, der ihn noch Tage später beschäftigt hat. Eine Folge, die von leichter Komödie über schrägen Horror bis hin zu einem extrem intensiven Kriegs-Drama reicht und zeigt, wie unterschiedlich ein Film wirken kann – wie immer mit viel Leidenschaft und kontroversen Diskussionen. Also, Ohren auf und ab in die Welt von "Once Upon A Time In Cinema - Der Filmpodcast" – jeden Donnerstag um 18:00 Uhr, überall wo es Podcasts gibt!

As part of our ongoing August Quick Hitter Series Jake will be discussing the 2025 Spy film, Black Bag, Starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett and directed by Steve Soderbergh.
Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth, The Aviator, Tár) is one of the most respected actors of our time. She's an on-screen chameleon who transforms into whatever role she plays, taking on whatever accent is required of her — so much so that she says it's easy to forget what she actually sounds like. At last year's Toronto International Film Festival, Cate sat down with Tom Power for a thoughtful conversation about two of her most recent projects (the unique political satire “Rumours” and the psychological thriller series “Disclaimer”), plus, her voice work.
"Severance" from Apple TV+ earned 27 nominations for the 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, while HBO Max's "The Penguin" and "The White Lotus" weren't far behind.

**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS**Fake it till you make it… or murder your way there. This week on Film Is Lit, we dive deep into "The Talented Mr. Ripley," a sun-drenched psychological thriller soaked in envy, identity, and deception. Written by Patricia Highsmith and adapted for the screen with elegance and dread by Anthony Minghella, the film features standout performances from a stacked cast. We also pay tribute to one of our all-time favorites, Philip Seymour Hoffman, who steals every scene he's in as the effortlessly snarky Freddie Miles.#filmislitpodcast #thetalentedmrripley #patriciahighsmith #mattdamon #judelaw #gwynethpaltrow #CateBlanchett #philipseymourhoffman #jackdavenport #filmnoirvibes #thrillerfilms #adaptationanalysis #booksvsmovies #filmpodcast #cinephiles #litlovers #criterioncollection #90scinema #filmcommunity #nowplaying #spoileralert #moviepodcast

Emily and Phil continue their “Films of the Todds” mini series as they take on Todd Haynes's ambitious and unconventional biopic I'm Not There. They are joined by film critic and podcaster Ryan Marker for a conversation about this multi-layered portrait of Bob Dylan, identity, and the myth of American celebrity.Together, they break down the film's innovative structure, discuss Cate Blanchett's acclaimed performance and the daring decision to cast six actors as different facets of Dylan, and examine how Haynes's storytelling approach turns biography into a surreal and poetic experience. The episode also explores the film's music, visual style, and its place in both Haynes's career and the larger tradition of rock and roll cinema.#PodcastLikeIts2000s #ImNotThere #ToddHaynes #RyanMarker #BobDylan #CateBlanchett #FilmPodcast #2000sMovies #MusicFilms #MovieDiscussion Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textThis week, our podcast shines the spotlight on the Female Protagonist, as we continue our "One Last Chance" theme. And so, we watch the 2011 film about the young female assassin, "Hanna," who has one last chance to escape a ruthless intelligence agent trying to track her down across continents. Starring Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett, this movie has the added bonus of a great score by the Chemical Brothers.We also take a deep dive into what we believe makes a great female protagonist, where writers can fall short, and what exactly a "Mary Sue" is. So listen in, as we toss out our bras, pull on some pants and bust through the glass ceiling of average podcasts.
Sacrificio, traición y una plataforma en el cielo que lo cambia todo. Así podríamos resumir el final de la tercera temporada de El juego del calamar, un episodio que convierte la última fase de los juegos en un duelo ético a vida o muerte, donde lo que está en juego no es solo el dinero, sino el alma de quienes quedan en pie. Comentamos el simbolismo del bebé como esperanza, la crítica feroz al sistema que convierte el sufrimiento en espectáculo, y cómo el cierre de la isla no es más que un espejismo cuando los reclutadores ya están sembrando el caos en otras partes del mundo. También exploramos los grandes temas que deja esta temporada: desde el precio de la dignidad hasta la imposibilidad de romper un ciclo que se retroalimenta de desesperación. Y no nos olvidamos de la aparición de Cate Blanchett, tan enigmática como reveladora, que aporta ese giro inesperado y sofisticado que ya se ha convertido en seña de identidad de la serie. ¡Dale al play y acompáñanos en este repaso final lleno de spoilers, miradas que lo dicen todo y más de una pregunta incómoda que, seguramente, seguirás rumiando días después!

Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?” This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. Corey takes us back to the heady days of 2013 with "arguably the last good Woody Allen movie," Blue Jasmine (2013). Between Woody, Alec Baldwin, and Louis CK, it's a real Murderers' row of the canceled. Cate Blanchett also returns with another great performance, but is it enough to look past...everything?

Hoy se ha fallado el Premio Princesa de Asturias de las Artes, y precisamente la gala de entrega de estos premios fue la que plantó la semilla de 'El guitarrista de Montreal', la última novela de Manuel Barrero editada por Galaxia Gutenberg. Todo comenzó cuando el autor cubrió la gala de los entonces Premios Príncipe de Asturias, celebrada en 2011, año en que Leonard Cohen recibió el galardón de las letras. La figura del músico canadiense y la atmósfera del evento quedaron grabadas en la memoria de Miguel Barrero, y más de una década después se han convertido en el eje de su nueva obra.Desde Cannes, Conxita Casanovas nos informa de los últimos títulos que se proyectan en el Festival Internacional de Cine. El director chino Bi Gan presenta 'Resurrection', mientras que el iraní Saeed Roustaee llega con 'Woman and Child'. Cate Blanchett también ha sido vista en la ciudad del cine, aunque el foco del día está sobre los hermanos Dardenne, que desfilan por la alfombra roja con 'Jeunes mères'. Ganadores ya de dos Palmas de Oro, su regreso genera gran expectación.El paseante de Jesús Marchamalo nos lleva hoy al encuentro con Enric Satué, historiador, académico y uno de los diseñadores gráficos más importantes de nuestro país, reconocido con el Premio Nacional de Diseño. Su último libro, 'El príncipe de la imprenta', repasa una vida dedicada a la historia del diseño editorial.La sesión musical de Leyre Guerrero nos traslada al Museo Reina Sofía, donde Radio 3 celebra el Día de los Museos con 17 horas de música en directo y más de 30 actuaciones.Escuchar audio

We will examine the movie from different perspectives--feminist, cultural, personal-- and give our own take on what this kind of movie says about how strong women are handled in popular entertainment.

BLACK BAG, Steven Soderbergh's latest 90-minute collaboration with writer David Koepp, is in theory a sprawling international spy thriller, but in practice it's a more intimate study of how a marriage can thrive in an environment where trusting your spouse is considered a weakness. This week we talk about how that genre disconnect works for and against BLACK BAG, before bringing in this pairing's companion film, 1934's THE THIN MAN, to compare how Nick and Nora Charles's bantering, crime-solving partnership compares to the cooler, less boozy charms of Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender's married spies. Then for Your Next Picture Show, we reach back to one of this podcast's very first episodes to cannibalize a recommendation for a film that we've already covered on the show, but was too clear an inspiration on BLACK BAG to ignore. (And really, is there ever a bad time to recommend WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?) Please share your thoughts about THE THIN MAN, BLACK BAG, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.
