Podcast appearances and mentions of Christopher Abbott

It looks like 2025 is going to be the year of the Werewolf and we're stoked about that! The first entry is Leigh Whannell's reimagining of the WOLF MAN. We remember his reimagining of the Invisible Man in 2020, another attempt at reimagining a classic Universal Monster as well as his hits Saw and Insidious.  This lean and mean production features the seasoned actors Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, playing a husband and wife dealing with the werewolf business as an infection as opposed to a curse.  Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro: “The Shift”– Samhain

Craving more Kraven? We got y'all covered! Russ and Jared are back to break it down, and what a breakdown it is (more of the nervous kind). The guys are talking about Kraven the Hunter (2024), starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ariana DeBose, Fred Hechinger, Alessandro Nivola, Christopher Abbott, Russell Crowe, and Tom Reed. Sure to disappoint fans of both comic books and movies, this flick didn't fail to not deliver!

This week, Clarisse chats to Gareth Evans about his new, Tom Hardy-fronted action movie, HAVOC (05:00). Meanwhile, Ben Affleck is back as autistic assassin Christian Wolff in THE ACCOUNTANT 2 (21:05), while Christopher Abbott and Mackenzie Davis star as a couple whose fragile marriage is threatened by the arrival of Ariane Labed in SWIMMING HOME (40:46). Plus, in our HOT TAKE (56:17), with SINNERS raking it in at the box office, we look at the unusual deal Ryan Coogler made with Warner Bros and ask: what does this mean for the future of Hollywood?If you would like to donate directly towards humanitarian aid in Gaza please visithttps://www.map.org.uk/https://www.safebowgazanaid.com/take-action-nowJoin the conversation or suggest a Hot Take for the gang to discuss tweet us at @FadeToBlackPodFollow us: @amonwarmann, @clarisselou, @hannainesflintMusic by ⁠The Last Skeptik⁠If you like the show do subscribe, leave a review and rate us too!

Revenge, repression and raw emotion: British director Christopher Andrews' debut feature "Bring Them Down" is a searing exploration of toxic masculinity. Set in rural Ireland, the film follows two feuding farming families, exposing how cycles of violence and emotional suppression shape generations of men. With powerhouse performances from Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbott, it's a brutal yet deeply human story. The director sits down with Eve Jackson to discuss male rage, vulnerability and how fatherhood changed his view on breaking destructive patterns. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation.

Is this another one of the guys' craven attempts to get you to buy ITMT merch or Russ' book HOST, available wherever you buy books? Of course not, they would never! Instead Russ and Jared are talking about the trailer for Kraven the Hunter (2024), starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ariana DeBose, Fred Hechinger, Alessandro Nivola, Christopher Abbott, Russell Crowe, and Tom Reed. What a way to end the Sony live-action Spider-Man villain series. Stay tuned for the breakdown episode next week!

Universal Studios goes back to the horror well with a reimagining of “Wolf Man.” Julia Garner (“Ozark”) and Christopher Abbott (“Poor Things”) star in this update from director Leigh Whannell […] The post Take Two: “WOLF MAN” (R) appeared first on KKFI.

I missed Leigh Whannell's newest film, WOLF MAN, in theaters. Bit of a bummer since he's a director who's earned my highest personal honor of earning my view purely off of goodwill - no trailer, no social media post needed.So what was I to do? Nothing, but that's where Universal Pictures stepped in and (thankfully) sent me a review copy of the WOLF MAN Blu-ray (Seriously, y'all. Thank you.)WOLF MAN changes quite a bit from the original source material. The werewolf transformation develops not as a curse but rather, a disease, an infection. Instead of a fur-covered beast with extended snout, David Cronenberg's THE FLY inspires a look that stems from the idea of two separate genomes warring within the same body. It's more akin to the creatures in Alex Garland's ANNIHILATION.But where WOLF MAN differs the most is in its family story. Christopher Abbott plays Blake, husband to Charlotte (the seriously-needs-a-goddamned-Oscar-as-of-like-yesterday Julia Garner) and father to Ginger - nickname Snaps? - (Matilda Firth). After his father's death, Blake inherits the remote Oregon farm in which he spent his childhood (complicated at best, emotionally abusive at worst).Upon arrival, Blake and family are attacked by a mysterious creature. Blake sustains a scratch wound and if you've seen a werewolf movie, you know that in here lies the inevitable. It's just a matter of time.But the real tragedy of WOLF MAN doesn't just lie in the creature of it, but rather the character. Blake desperately tries to be a kinder, less angry father and husband than the example he experienced. But old environments bring that nature-nurture battle back to a head. Some wounds may simply be too deep to overcome.This movie may be paced a little wonky and some of the ideas are executed a little too silly for its own good, but goddamn, did this hit hard for this father of a 4 and 1.5 year old.On the director's commentary, Whannell talks about the need to follow one's own barometer for success. If you laugh or cry or fear your own material, it'll translate. And I'm so happy to report Whannell, for me, at least, is 3 for 3.---Please rate, review & subscribe to The Movies wherever you listen to podcasts!Follow The Movies on Instagram & Bluesky: linktr.ee/themovies_pod

In this episode, “The Invisible Dan” and “Monster Mike” come howling back for one last episode to close out Season 2 of The Monsters That Made Us! Join them as they dig into Leigh Whannell's reinvention of the Wolf Man, along with all the new mythology and the slam dunk performance from Christopher Abbott (possibly the greatest Wolf Man performance ever?), as well as some its flaws, not limited to the half-baked script, the clunky cast chemistry, the wholesale omission of just about all traditional werewolf lore, and the heavy themes, at times, getting in the way of an otherwise solid practical effects-driven creature feature.

They also talk about a couple of recently seen movies, and of course, stay tuned until the end of the episode to hear what Scotty has chosen for their next film!"Wolf Man" stars Christopher Abbott as a man who takes his wife and daughter into his childhood home in the mountains of Oregon, only to find there's something there that isn't quite human anymore.Feel free to send us a message!

Long ago, the Universal Horror film, THE WOLF MAN (1941), was groundbreaking. Turning Long Chaney Jr. into a star, it was gothic, and filled with fortunetellers and the occult, and took place in the atmospheric country of Wales. Now, Leigh Whannell (UPGRAGE (2018)) has directed the reboot for Universal Pictures.From IMDB: A family at a remote farmhouse is attacked by an unseen animal, but as the night stretches on, the father begins to transform into something unrecognizable.The movie stars Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, and Matilda Firth. The screenplay is cowritten by Leigh Whannell and Corbett Tuck. The film was released on January 17, 2025 by Universal and Blumhouse. Your cohosts take a look at this new lycanthrope film and give their thoughts.

On this special episode, Eric chats with Christopher Andrews, director of Bring Them Down starring Barry Keoghan, Christopher Abbott, Nora-Jane Noone, Paul Ready, Aaron Heffernan, Conor MacNeill, Susan Lynch and Colm Meaney.

Irish sheep farming, deep-seated family tensions, and a brewing conflict between neighbors—sounds like the setup for a quiet indie drama. But in"Bring Them Down," the upcoming revenge thriller from first-time directorChris Andrews, those elements fuel a gripping, morally complex battle of wills. In this episode ofThe Discourse, hostMike DeAngelo sits down with actor Christopher Abbott to discuss leading the film, producing it, and why he was drawn to a story steeped in generational trauma and rural survival. The film also stars Barry Keoghan, Colm Meaney, Nora-Jane Noone, and more.For Christopher Abbott, the chance to dive into such a layered role was too intriguing to pass up—even if it meant embracing the challenges of an Irish dialect. “I think I have a little bit of a knack for accents,” he admitted, though he knew even Irish actors would struggle with the script's use of the traditional Irish/Gaelic language. “It was always going to be a challenge for anyone.” Despite the difficulty, Abbott was drawn to the project for the same reason he takes on most of his work—it keeps him engaged. “I get bored easily,” he said. “I like challenges that keep my focus.”

Episode 45 - Review: Wolfman (2025)Remember back in 2017 when Universal tried launching their Monsters Universe of movies with “The Mummy” starring Tom Cruise? Even with the attempt to sneak in Russell Crowe as Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, that movie became an epic mess. “Wolf Man” is a second bite at the apple for Universal, with Leigh Whannell (“Saw” writer and “Upgrade”, “The Invisible Man” director) directing and horror king Jason Blum (Blumhouse Productions) producing this film.What this film has going for it is its strong use of storytelling. The movie explores themes of parents, their kids, and the effort not to pass on mistakes from one generation to the next. It's a very cool concept that is executed well for both how the starts and ends too. The setting, the actors (an amazing main cast: Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, and Mathilda Firth) all shine. Whannell also brings much of the production crew back together from his hit movie “The Invisible Man” for this movie. The sound design is incredible—easily the most creative aspect of the film.Can lightning strike twice for Universal's revamped Monsters Universe, with its smaller scale but bigger scares? Does “Wolf Man” deliver the chills and thrills you'd expect from a monster movie? I get into it all here, including surprises with this movie's budget and its interesting origins, which connect to director Derek Cianfrance and actor Ryan Gosling (both of whom previously teamed up on the excellent 2013 film “The Place Beyond the Pines”).“Wolf Man” is now playing in theaters.We have a great year of movies, shows, reviews, and recommendations ahead.

In 1941, we got the classic Lon Chaney Jr./Bela Lugosi “The Wolf Man.” Chaney looked more like an angry psychotic meth head with a Justin Timberlake haircut back then. Now in 2025, we get a much updated hairy, scary dude with “Wolf Man” directed by Leigh Whannell. This isn't Whannell's first classic monster movie re-make rodeo. He also directed the 2020 “The Invisible Man” which was a critical and commercial hit. In “Wolf Man” we're introduced to Blake and his wife, Charlotte, and daughter Ginger. Blake grew up in the remote wilderness of Oregon with just his Dad where all manner of danger lurks, but is now a writer in San Francisco. Events have him return to Oregon with his wife and daughter to his childhood home. His Dad with him, and now Blake with his daughter, are aggressive with how committed they are to keeping their child safe. It turns out, for good reason, from what we see in this movie. On the way up to the house, they get into an accident, in the middle of the woods. Soon it's made apparent, they are not alone, and this new presence is no friend. Soon they find themselves in Blake's childhood home trying to keep a wolf man out, but since Blake was cut by the wolf man, Charlotte and Ginger find that a danger is slowly emerging from inside the house. Time is ticking away for them. Will they survive the wolf man outside and what Blake is becoming on the inside? Is it worth finding out? Check out this episode to hear what I think. “Wolf Man” stars Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, Benedict Hardie, Sam Jaeger, Mathilda Firth, Leigh Whannell, Ben Prendergast, Milo Cawthorne and Zac Chandler. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

Produced by Issa Rae's Hoorae Media, the film is filled with laughs, heart, and sharp social commentary. Critics have praised the chemistry between the leads, making it a standout entry in the buddy-comedy genre. A Different Man (2024) Sebastian Stan stars in this darkly comedic psychological exploration of identity and beauty.

Blue Velvet (1986) David Lynch's neo-noir psychological thriller remains a seminal work in cinematic history. Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, and Dennis Hopper deliver unforgettable performances in this surreal exploration of crime and the duality of human nature.

Robert Winfree, Alexis Hejna and Mark Radulich present their Wolf Man 2025 Movie Review!Wolf Man is a 2025 American horror film directed by Leigh Whannell from a screenplay he co-wrote with Corbett Tuck. A reboot of The Wolf Man (1941), the film stars Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, and Sam Jaeger. The plot follows a family man seeking to protect his wife and daughter from a werewolf, only to become infected and slowly transform into the creature. Jason Blum produces alongside his Blumhouse Productions banner.The film was announced in 2014 and was to be part of the Dark Universe, a shared cinematic universe centered on the Universal Monsters. Aaron Guzikowski and David Callaham were attached to write the script. After the failure of The Mummy (2017), Universal shifted its focus to standalone films. The success of Whannell's The Invisible Man (2020) rekindled Universal's interest in the Monsters franchise. They accepted a pitch by Ryan Gosling, who was also set to star, for a new Wolf Man film with Derek Cianfrance to direct. However, Cianfrance left the project in 2023 and Gosling dropped out of the role, remaining as executive producer while Whannell took over as director with a new cast. Principal photography occured in New Zealand in early 2024.Wolf Man was released in the United States by Universal Pictures on January 17, 2025. The film received mixed reviews from critics and has grossed $16.8 million.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Julia Garner has amassed an incredibly varied filmography over the years. Her first feature credit was the Sundance darling Martha Marcy May Marlene, she won three Emmys for playing Ruth Langmore in Netflix's hit crime drama Ozark, and she's about to make her franchise debut in one of the most anticipated films of the year, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. However, there's one particular genre she keeps coming back to, and given it's a personal favorite genre, I'm thrilled about it. Garner is delivering a steady stream of horror movies.Her latest in that department is Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man, a new spin on the 1941 classic. In this version, Christopher Abbott and Garner play Blake and Charlotte, a husband and wife struggling with their relationship. When Blake receives a death certificate for his estranged father and the keys to his childhood home, he thinks that could be just the getaway they need to get things back on track. Along with their young daughter, Ginger (Matilda Firth), they head out to the remote house in the mountains of Oregon. However, just before arriving, they're attacked and Blake suffers a scratch that kicks off a horrific transformation. With Wolf Man now playing in theaters nationwide, Garner joined me for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to revisit her journey in film and television thus far, with an extra special emphasis on her experience working in the horror genre. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We dive into Steve's Required Viewing pick, Asphalt City, and its storytelling impact, then review 2025's Wolfman starring Christopher Abbott, exploring its place in the werewolf genre. Plus, more movie and pop culture discussions!

We've got some mediocre January movies and a lengthy news segment to keep you company on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. First, we review "Wolf Man," director Leigh Whannell's take on the classic creature feature. Christopher Abbott stars as a husband and father who takes his family back to his childhood home in the Oregon woods. Bad things happen. Julia Garner and Matilda Firth co-star. In theaters. Then, Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx re-team for the generic comedy "Back in Action." Diaz (in her first movie in a decade) and Foxx play ex-spies in suburbia who get dragged back in the fray when their cover is blown. Their shocked kids must go along for the adventure, too. Ironic needle drops and bad special effects ensue. Streaming now on Netflix. Finally, it's a jam-packed Movie News LIVE! We talk about the state of the LA Wildfires, awards season, and how they'll affect each other in the weeks to come. Plus we try to untangle the whole Justin Baldoni/Blake Lively "It Ends With Us" fiasco, which has ended with them suing each other. And of course, we remember the singular David Lynch, who died this week at 78. Thanks for being with us during this busy, difficult time. And make sure to join us at our YouTube channel on Thursday, Jan. 23 at 8am Pacific for our Oscar Nominations livestream, which will be a fundraiser for wildfire relief efforts.

Everything old is new again, it seems, and there's no reason that wouldn't apply to werewolves. We now have a chance to enjoy a new Wolf Man starring Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner. Directed by Leigh Whannell (The Invisible Man), it maintains that sometimes the monster is inside you all along. Plus, we take a minute to remember director David Lynch.

This week's Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt, Alex Godfrey and Beth Webb bid a sad, but heartfelt, farewell to the great David Lynch, who has died at the age of 78. It's also an epic epitaph in many ways, clocking in at around 40 minutes, as the trio, all huge Lynch fans, pay tribute to the genius behind Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Dr., Twin Peaks, and more. [44:18 - 1:26:33 approx] Elsewhere in the episode, which was recorded before the news broke of Lynch's passing, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer to discuss great bike moments in movies, chat about the BAFTA nominations and the new Daredevil: Born Again trailer, and review A Complete Unknown, William Tell, Back In Action, and Wolf Man. And there are interviews aplenty, as Chris talks to a whole bunch of folks: there's a riotous, chaotic chat with A Real Pain stars Jesse Eisenberg (who also wrote and directed the movie) and Kieran Culkin, as they talk food, films, and feet [19:06 - 44:18 approx]; A Complete Unknown director James Mangold calls in from LA to talk about why he was drawn to Bob Dylan [1:43:03 - 1:57:39 approx]; and Wolf Man star, Christopher Abbott, who tells us why he might start a new club with Colin Farrell and Jeff Goldblum. [2:23:50 - 2:37:57 approx] Otherwise, it's all about Lynch, as it should be. Farewell, sir.

This week Megan saw WOLF MAN (2:20), director and co-writer Leigh Whannell's latest trip down the horror highway, starring Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner. Megan likes this new take on Universal's legendary Wolf Man…until she doesn't. A good start, a meh finish. Then Evan and Dave join in when the conversation turns to NIGHT CALL (16:17), Michiel Blanchart's tense and nimble French-language thriller about a locksmith (Jonathan Feltre) who has the misfortune of opening a door…TO CRIME! (See what we did there?) A seemingly innocent call makes a normal shift turn nightmarish as lead character Mady is conned into opening the door, is chased by criminals, chased by more criminals, chased by cops…you get the idea. We all enjoyed this clever, fast-paced, and frenetic thriller. Then we all weigh in on Cameron Diaz's first screen role since 2014, the Netflix spy thriller BACK IN ACTION (44:21), directed by Seth Gordon. Don't let the lazy title fool you: The screenplay is just as lazy as the title! Ho ho! Not for nothing, this movie throws in just about every action trope known to humankind, but it doesn't do anything particularly well. Good thing Diaz cranks the charm to 100, and she has an easy chemistry with her equally charming co-star Jamie Foxx. But otherwise…bleh. Over on Patreon, we talk about Max Eggers and Sam Eggers's 2024 horror flick THE FRONT ROOM, starring Brandy.

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy look at eight new movies this week including a unique documentary that combines a video game with Shakespeare (Grand Theft Hamlet). Julia Stiles makes her directorial debut with a romantic weepie (Wish You Were Here) and a locksmith goes on a wild evening (Night Call). Scott Eastwood and Willa Fitzgerald play spies who go off the grid and are sucked back into duty (Alarum) while Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz play spies who go off the grid and are sucked back into duty (Back in Action). There is the tale of the newsroom covering the terrorist attack at the 1972 Olympics (September 5) and a raunchy hangout film with Keke Palmer and SZA (One Of Them Days). Finally, Leigh Whannell continues the alterna-Dark Universe with a new take on a classic Universal monster (Wolf Man).  0:00 - Intro 1:02 - Grand Theft Hamlet 10:01 - Wish You Were Here 17:08 - Night Call 22:38 - Alarum 29:58 - Back In Action 42:07 - September 5 52:31 - One of Them Days 1:00:30 - Wolf Man 1:18:39 - Outro

Starring Julia Garner from Ozark and Christopher Abbott from The Sinner, Wolf Man is the terrifying brand new film which features this fair isle! Dave caught up with the cast and the director to find out who is a scardy cat, who learned a cúpla focal and who is apologising to Saoirse Ronan?

Breaking down what's in store for the year ahead by taking a look at 2025 by the numbers. Plus, a former television executive serves up her second act baking up a new career in desserts. And, Christopher Abbott joins the studio to discuss his latest project, “Wolf Man”.

We've got awards contenders and awful comic book movies and everything in between this week on Breakfast All Day. First, we have an early review of "Babygirl," which is one of Alonso's favorite movies of the year. Nicole Kidman stars as a high-powered CEO who falls into a torrid affair with her much younger intern, played by a seductive Harris Dickinson. It opens Christmas Day. Next, our great friend Tim Grierson was kind enough to step in for a review of "Kraven the Hunter" while Alonso is out of town. An incredible cast including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Russell Crowe, Ariana DeBose, Alessandro Nivola and Christopher Abbott goes to waste in this extremely silly thriller. Supposedly this is the end of the Sony Spider-Man Universe, and if it's not, it should be. In theaters now. Finally, we catch up with "The Order," based on the true story of a group of white supremacists who robbed banks to fuel their militia in the 1980s Pacific Northwest. Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult star. One of us thinks this movie is good. It's in theaters now. No Movie News LIVE! this week, but check back with us next Friday.
