Also note, there's an alternate dimension Hanoi Roxx teased at the end.-“Guestlist” by Hardcore SuperstarAfter a fight with Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), Chris heads back to his place for a night of hard drugs and bisexual orgies, while this song kicks in.-“Dreamer” by Foxy ShazamCompletely wasted from the party, Peacemaker stumbles through the QUC and heads to DC2, wandering in wonder around the house he shares with his “dad” and “brother,” while yet another Foxy Shazam song plays.-“Blue Jeans” by SilvertideHarcourt also isn't doing great, so she heads to the biker barGabriel's Horn. As she walks in, this is playing, presumably on the jukebox. The song continues to play as she beats the crap out of pretty much everyone in the bar.-“Outrage” by Sister SinRight after being discovered by the DC2 version of Peacemaker, our Chris accidentally kills him in the QUC… And as we cut to the end credits, this song plays. Episode 2:-Evil Thoughts” by Foxy ShazamThis song begins playing as Peacemaker and Vigilante (Freddie Stroma) take out tools to dismember the DC2 version of Peacemaker that our Peacemaker accidentally killed last episode. It continues throughout the montage as they chop him up and dispose of the body parts by using the kyphotic alien's incinerator.-“Reapercussion” by The Cruel IntentionsWhile Fleury (Tim Meadows) is told to hold and watch Chris by Sacha Bordeaux (Sol Rodríguez), ARGUS assembles a team of operatives anyway to take Peacemaker down. We meet this ragtag squad to the song noted above.-“Dirty Money” by Ida MariaAfter absolutely obliterating Fleury's team, Eagly does a slo-mo victory walk to this song. That transitions into another montage, this time the “11th Street Kids,” aka the remaining team from Season 1, partying on Harcourt's rooftop. The song continues to play as we watch the team bond and chat at the party.-“This Time It's Love” by D'MollsBack at the party, Peacemaker and Harcourt have a heart-to-heart while this song plays.-“We Don't Need A Cure” by Hardcore SuperstarPeacemaker, drunk and sad, heads back to the DC2 after trying to text that Earth's version of Harcourt from the Peacemaker's phone (the one our Peacemaker incinerated). Once he gets to DC2 the text goes through, and he starts texting with the alt-Harcourt, while this song plays, leading us into the closing credits.

This year we had the pleasure of hosting two Collider Ladies Night panels at San Diego Comic-Con. The first leaned heavily into the horror genre by putting the spotlight on Dafne Keen, Sophie Nélisse, Alexandra Shipp, Katie Douglas, Hassie Harrison and their upcoming IFC and Shudder titles. Then, the next night, I had the great honor of taking the stage with Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Danielle Pinnock and Marissa Bode to celebrate Peacemaker, The Bad Guys 2, Ghosts and Wicked.Every edition of Collider Ladies Night demands a significant amount of prep work, including these live versions of the show. But, ultimately, the success of a Ladies Night interview comes down to the guests, and with this group, we truly hit the jackpot. Bode, Pinnock, Holland and Brooks all took the stage with a sky-high passion for their current projects, a deep respect for what it took to hit this point in their careers, and an eagerness to celebrate one another.During the panel, Holland recalled first moving to Hollywood as a teenager and her ongoing journey of finding a sense of belonging, Pinnock looked back at her time “scamming” and the day she found out she booked her first series regular role, Brooks discussed why her time at Juilliard teed her up for great success in the superhero genre, and Bode discussed making her feature debut with one of the biggest hits of 2024, Wicked.After that, all four took a moment to look forward to all the good on the horizon - specifically Peacemaker Season 2, Ghosts Season 5 and Wicked: For Good.

Greg Alba & John Humphrey break down the brand-new Peacemaker Season 2 trailer, reacting to all the biggest reveals: the multiverse “two dimensions” premise, the DCEU → DCU transition, and Peacemaker confronting another version of himself in a parallel reality. We dive into how Superman (2025)'s ending and the surprise Maxwell Lord cameo tie into this DCU setup, plus expect appearances by Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Green Lantern Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), and Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn) Returning Season 1 cast John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Robert Patrick, and new additions Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Sol Rodríguez, David Denman, Tim Meadows, and Michael Rooker are all confirmed.

In a powerful moment of Black female empowerment, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority welcomed eight new honorary members at its national convention—including Queen Latifah, Danielle Brooks, Donna Brazile, and more—honoring women whose impact aligns with the sorority’s mission of sisterhood, scholarship, and service.

On today’s episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, the crew brings four compelling headlines that span culture, community, and controversy. First, hip-hop impresario Jermaine Dupri revealed he famously dropped nearly $10,000 a week at Atlanta’s iconic Magic City strip club over two decades—a flashy habit that fueled both nightlife legend and his new SoSo Def-branded docuseries Magic City: An American Fantasy. Then, in a powerful moment of Black female empowerment, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority welcomed eight new honorary members at its national convention—including Queen Latifah, Danielle Brooks, Donna Brazile, and more—honoring women whose impact aligns with the sorority’s mission of sisterhood, scholarship, and service. The spotlight then switches to courtroom drama, as a federal judge slashed T.I. and Tiny Harris’s $71 million win in their OMG Doll lawsuit to about $17.9 million, citing insufficient proof of deliberate wrongdoing and ordering a retrial. Finally, in breaking news, Kanye “Ye” West faces fresh allegations from ex‑assistant Lauren Pisciotta—who accuses him of sexual assault, trafficking, stalking, and even “oral rape” on multiple counts—accusations his team vehemently denies.

This week, The Filmlosophers are venturing into the blocky world of the big screen with a likely painful discussion of the latest video game adaptation, A Minecraft Movie. But the cinematic critique takes a bizarre turn as they address the alarming reports of disruptive behavior erupting in theaters during certain scenes of the film. Plus, they welcome their newest intern, the enthusiastic Intern Jesus, to the team! In this chaotic episode: Minecraft Movie Meltdown: The team will bravely (and perhaps begrudgingly) dissect A Minecraft Movie, analyzing its success (or more likely, its failures) in translating the beloved game to a cinematic experience. Expect discussions on story, visuals, and whether it captures the essence of building and survival. Theater of Terror: Minecraft Mayhem: The Filmlosophers will delve into the strange phenomenon of disruptive behavior during A Minecraft Movie screenings, pontificating on the breakdown of theater decorum and offering their (likely exasperated) thoughts on cinema etiquette. Welcoming Intern Jesus!: The crew introduces their newest intern, Intern Jesus, to the Filmlosophers family! They'll discuss his passion for film, his favorite (and perhaps surprising) guilty pleasure movies, and why his unique perspective makes him a perfect fit for the team. Join The Filmlosophers for an episode that's a bizarre blend of cinematic disappointment, social commentary on unruly audiences, and the welcoming of a new, divinely named intern. It's going to be a blocky, boisterous, and utterly unique discussion! So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's block-tacular episode of The Filmlosophers!

We present our review of A Minecraft Movie (2025)! A Minecraft Movie is a 2025 fantasy adventure comedy film based on the 2011 video game Minecraft by Mojang Studios. It was directed by Jared Hess and written by Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, Neil Widener, Gavin James, and Chris Galletta, from a story by Allison Schroeder, Bowman, and Palmer. The film stars Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, and Sebastian Hansen. In the film, four misfits are pulled through a portal into a cubic world that thrives on imagination, having no choice but to master the world while embarking on a quest with an expert crafter named Steve.Plans for a Minecraft film adaptation originated in 2014, when game creator Markus Persson revealed that Mojang was in talks with Warner Bros. Pictures to develop the project. Throughout its development, A Minecraft Movie shifted between several directors, producers, and story drafts. By 2022, Legendary Entertainment became involved, and Hess was hired as director with Momoa in talks to star. Further casting took place from May 2023 to January 2024. Principal photography began later that month in New Zealand and concluded in April 2024. Mark Mothersbaugh composed the score, and Sony Pictures Imageworks, Wētā FX, and Digital Domain provided the films visual effects.A Minecraft Movie had its world premiere at Empire, Leicester Square in London on March 30, 2025, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 4. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances of the cast, though some were divided on its plot and faithfulness to the source material. It has grossed $317.7 million worldwide against a budget of $150 million, becoming the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2025.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

Pictures to develop the project. Throughout its development, A Minecraft Movie shifted between several directors, producers, and story drafts. By 2022, Legendary Entertainment became involved, and Hess was hired as director with Momoa in talks to star. Further casting took place from May 2023 to January 2024. Principal photography began later that month in New Zealand and concluded in April 2024. Mark Mothersbaugh composed the score, and Sony Pictures Imageworks, Wētā FX, and Digital Domain provided the films visual effects.A Minecraft Movie had its world premiere at Empire, Leicester Square in London on March 30, 2025, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 4.

Do you know what the best part of this movie finally releasing is? I NEVER have to see the awful trailer for this movie in front of other films again! A Minecraft Movie has dropped in theaters worldwide and I had the immense "pleasure" of seeing it earlier today. Was it good? Well, what do you think? I definitely had a Minecraft phase when I was younger, but that was over ten years ago and I have not cared much for the game since then. I've always known that making a movie out of it is a dumb idea because the game doesn't exactly lend itself to narrative features. There's a reason there's only been ONE of these games. So, how did the film turn out?

Danielle Brooks, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress following her masterful portrayal of Sofia in the 2023 remake of “The Color Purple,” discusses her journey to the Oscars with host Kai Wright. Brooks was the sole representative at the 96th Academy Awards from last year's film adaptation. The first time novelist Alice Walker's story met the silver screen, directed by Steven Spielberg, it earned 11 Academy Award nominations but notably took home no gold. “The Color Purple” later evolved into a musical, premiering on Broadway in 2005. Brooks stepped into the role of the brazen and spirited Sofia for the 2015 revival of that show, all while playing Tasha “Taystee” Jefferson in the Netflix series “Orange is The New Black.” Brooks talks about her rise to fame, overcoming impostor syndrome in Hollywood and her next film project, which is quite a departure from projects she's taken on before.

There's something about Sofia. The iconic character was first born within the pages of Alice Walker's canonical 1982 novel, “The Color Purple.” She is a fierce, principled Black woman — friend to the protagonist Celie and wife to Celie's stepson Harpo, who tarnishes their relationship with violence. But what is most notable about Sofia is that she will not stand down, even against the backdrop of racism and sexism in the South in the 1930s. Today, actor Danielle Brooks is Sofia for an entirely new generation of audiences, taking on the role for the 2023 musical film “The Color Purple,” and earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Performance By An Actress In A Supporting Role. “Sofia taught me that I have all that I need inside of me,” Brooks tells Notes from America. In this episode, she and Kai sit down for a conversation about a character who has been instrumental to her life and career. And hell no, that's not all!

On this week's show, the panel begins by dissecting Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the episodic remake of Brangelina's 2005 espionage film. The Prime Video series stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine as the titular Smiths, spies who become “married” as a part of the job, and explores partnership in the gig economy in a quieter, smaller, and less glamorous version of the original. Then, they review The Color Purple, a movie-musical adapted from Alice Walker's seminal novel. The film stars Fantasia Barrino and Taraji P. Henson, as well as Danielle Brooks, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Sofia. Finally, it's the viral scam that rocked the internet: “The Day I Put $50,000 in a Shoe Box and Handed It to a Stranger” is a first-hand account written by The Cut's financial-advice columnist, Charlotte Cowles, about the time she fell for an Amazon scam call. Our panel reviews the piece and explores its ethics.

“I think of ‘The Color Purple' as the epic of our time,” Doreen St. Félix said in a conversation with the actress Danielle Brooks. While St. Félix admits, “I wasn't convinced that we needed necessarily to have a new envisioning of the story—which has been a novel, which has been a film, which has been a musical twice over”—she finds that Blitz Bazawule's film, which opened at the end of 2023, is different from its stage and screen predecessors in significant ways, reflecting the concerns of its millennial cast and director. The actress Danielle Brooks has played a critical role in the work's transition back to film. In 2016, the “Orange Is the New Black” star was Tony-nominated for her performance as the no-nonsense Sofia, and she is now earning strong Oscar buzz playing Sofia on film. The transition from stage to film dramatically changed her performance. “Being actually in Georgia, feeling the hot Georgia sun, being on plantations, actually holding a ten-pound baby and having to be careful with that child,” Brooks tells St. Félix, “opens up the world. Now I feel like I was painting with an endless amount of color.” Sofia was the role first portrayed onscreen by Oprah Winfrey, in Steven Spielberg's 1985 version, and Winfrey is a producer of the new film. “Huge shoes to fill,” Brooks says, of Winfrey. “But I feel like she really allowed me to be the cobbler of my own shoe.”
Sofia, Sofia, Sofia! In the final episode of this three-part series, Oprah sits down with TV, Film and Tony-nominated Broadway star Danielle Brooks to talk about her role as Sofia in The Color Purple. In this captivating conversation, the pair discusses Danielle's life-changing trip to Broadway as a teenager, how God prepared her for this role, and how her rendition of the song ‘Hell No' helped her cast out fear and disbelief. In a passing of the torch, Oprah and Danielle also share what playing Sofia means to them and how it has transformed both of their lives forever.
