  ABOUT AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR The Avengers and their allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR April 27, 2018 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Directors: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo Writers: Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Stan Lee Cast: Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man Chris Hemsworth as Thor Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther Zoe Saldaña as Gamora Karen Gillan as Nebula Tom Hiddleston as Loki Paul Bettany as Vision Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS So, they get right to it. Bad boy Thanos gets an infinity stone, the Power Stone. His play is to get all six Infinity Stones and wipe out half of all life in the universe.  His first stop is the ship carrying the surviving people of Asgard. Thanos easily overwhelms the remaining Asgardians, beats up Hulk, and steals the Space Stone from Loki's Tesseract. He then kills Loki. Thanos then destroys the ship and continues his hunt. Edris Elba helps make sure that Hulk returns to earth, where he crashes through the New York Sanctum. Back as Bruce, He warns Doctor Stephen Strange and Wong that Thanos is coming.  Tony Stark joins the conversation. Before he can call Steve Rogers to get the band back together, they attack the city to claim the Time Stone from Strange. Spider-Man is pulled into the chaos, and after they captures Strange aboard his spaceship, Stark and Peter Parker secretly hitch a ride into space to rescue him while Wong remains behind to defend the Sanctum. Meanwhile, the Guardians of the Galaxy answer a distress signal and save Thor floating in space. They agree they need to work together to stop Thanos. But they're too late. Thanos already possesses the Reality Stone and uses its power to manipulate everything around them. He captures Gamora after learning she knows the location of the Soul Stone. Desperate to save her adopted sister Nebula from torture, Gamora tells him where the stone is .  When they get there, the keeper of the Soul Stone, one Red Skull, reveals the price required to obtain it: the sacrifice of someone truly loved. In one of the film's most tragic moments, Thanos throws Gamora to her death, earning the Soul Stone. Vision and Wanda are ambushed in Scotland by Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive, who attempt to rip the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead. Captain America, Black Widow, and Falcon arrive just in time to save them, bringing the wounded Vision back to the Avengers Compound. Vision urges Wanda to destroy the Mind Stone and kill him if necessary to stop Thanos, but she cannot bring herself to do it. Instead, the team heads to Wakanda, believing Shuri may be able to safely remove the stone without sacrificing Vision's life. Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange end up on Titan and come face to face with Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis and they realize they're in the same team.  Using the Time Stone, Strange studies millions of possible futures and discovers only one path where they succeed. Together they execute an elaborate plan to restrain Thanos and remove the Infinity Gauntlet. For a moment, it almost works—until Nebula reveals that Gamora is dead. Overcome with grief and rage, Star-Lord attacks Thanos, ruining the team's hold on him. Thanos breaks free, defeats everyone, and nearly kills Iron Man. To save Tony's life, Doctor Strange willingly surrenders the Time Stone, despite knowing how dangerous it is. In Wakanda, the Avengers prepare for an all-out invasion from Thanos's army. Bruce Banner, unable to transform into Hulk, enters battle wearing the Hulkbuster armor. The tide finally turns when Thor arrives in spectacular fashion alongside Rocket and Groot, tearing through Thanos's army with his fresh new hammer/ax combo, Stormbreaker. Despite their efforts, Thanos himself eventually reaches Vision. Wanda heartbreakingly destroys the Mind Stone—and Vision with it—just before Thanos can claim it. But using the Time Stone, Thanos reverses time, restores Vision briefly to life, and violently tears the stone from his forehead, killing him again. With all six Infinity Stones finally united, the Infinity Gauntlet is complete. Thor attacks and buries Stormbreaker deep into Thanos's chest, but Thanos coldly tells him he “should have gone for the head.” He snaps his fingers and vanishes. Across the universe, half of all life immediately turns to dust. Bucky Barnes, Black Panther, Groot, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis all fade away. On Earth, Nick Fury manages to send a desperate signal from a mysterious pager moments before he too disappears. The survivors are left shattered and defeated. Tony Stark and Nebula are stranded on Titan. The remaining Avengers stand in stunned silence in Wakanda. And somewhere far away, Thanos sits alone on a quiet planet, watching the sunrise over a universe he believes he has finally “saved.” Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

Late Nights at BlockbusterTo the trees, to the trees! Our next Late Nights at Blockbuster is the 35th anniversary of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

It's Marvel Monday and the Guardians are back for more cosmic adventures! ABOUT GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: VOL. 2 The Guardians struggle to keep together as a team while dealing with their personal family issues, notably Star-Lord's encounter with his father, the ambitious celestial being Ego. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: VOL. 2 May 5, 2017 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: VOL. 2 Director: James Gunn Writers: James Gunn, Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning Cast: Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord Zoe Saldaña as Gamora Dave Bautista as Drax Vin Diesel as Baby Groot (voice) Bradley Cooper as Rocket (voice) Michael Rooker as Yondu Karen Gillan as Nebula Pom Klementieff as Mantis Sylvester Stallone as Stakar Ogord Kurt Russell as Ego BRAN'S GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: VOL. 2 SYNOPSIS It's Missouri in 1980. Peter's father Ego visited Earth and fell in love with Peter's mother and they wanna get married!  Fast forward to the present and the gang's all here. Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and literal toddler Baby Groot. The GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY!  They take a job from gold lady Ayesha to protect some batteries from a space squid monster, which they do, in exchange for Gamora's sister. But then Rocket immediately steals those same batteries because of course he does. CLASSIC Rocket. This leads to an all-out attack, a crash landing into a ship planet thing that just kind of appears, and the arrival of a mysterious shirtless dad: Ego. Surprise! He's Quill's father.  Ego invites Quill, Gamora, and Drax to his planet, while Rocket and Groot stay behind with Nebula to keep an eye on her. Peter and Ego hash things out. He explains why he wasn't around but says he wants to be the father he always hoped to be now.  Meanwhile, blue whistle boy Yondu is hired to track them down. Things go sideways FAST when Yondu refuses not to give up Quill location. He ends up being imprisoned with Rocket and Groot, but they escape with some wild arrow work. Back on Planet Daddy Issues, Ego reveals he's basically a god who's been planting himself all over the universe (red flag), having kids everywhere (bigger red flag), and murdering them when they don't have powers (biggest red flag).  Oh, and he casually admits he gave Quill's mom a brain tumor. Cool cool cool. Quill snaps, the team reunites, and it becomes a full-on “let's destroy dad” situation. They head to Ego's literal brain at the planet's core, plant a bomb. The bomb goes off, Ego is toast, and Quill loses his powers in the process. But the emotional gut punch? Yondu sacrifices himself to save Quill, proving he was his real dad all along. we cry. You cry. Everyone cries.  the Ravagers show up to give Yondu the send-off he deserved all along. And we get a thousand mid credit scenes and none of them matter.

It's Marvel Monday and we're blasting off into space! ABOUT GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY A group of intergalactic criminals must pull together to stop a fanatical warrior with plans to purge the universe. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY August 1, 2014 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Director: James Gunn Writers: James Gunn, Nicole Perlman, Dan Abnett Cast: Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord Vin Diesel as Groot (voice) Bradley Cooper as Rocket (voice) Zoe Saldaña as Gamora Dave Bautista as Drax BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS It's 1988 and young Peter Quill is having a tough go of it but at least he has his music. His mom is sick and she ends up passing away. He's real sad and runs out of the hospital into a foggy field. Unfortunately for him, the hits keep coming and he's abducted by an alien ship. 26 years later, we're on the planet of Morag. We see a dude with a mask of glowing red eyes walking around. He uses this device to see what used to be on the planet. He takes his mask off and we see it's Peter all grown up, still a big fan of music. He tries to steal this orb thing but is taken by guys. Ultimately, he's able to escape, orb in hand. Yondu, the guy who abducted Peter way back when, finds out that Peter stole the orb and puts a bounty out for him. Bad guy Ronan also finds out the orb was taken and sends an assassin named Gamora after him. But that's not allllll - bounty hunters Rocket (a raccoon) and Groot (a tree) see him and decide to go after him when they find out how much his bounty is worth. Peter tries to sell the orb but it doesn't work. Gamora is waiting for him as he walks out and takes the orb. A fight breaks out which is a good time for Rocket and Groot to jump in on the fight. They all end up getting arrested. While in prison, they meet a guy named Drax who is known for killing associates of Ronan, so he's got his sights on Gamora. Peter stops him from killing her by hatching an idea - let her take you to Ronan to kill him. Gamora explains that she's actually betrayed Ronan and intended to sell the orb. Together, they're able to escape. We then see Ronan talking to Gamora's dad, Thanos, about her betrayal. He sends his other daughter (who he loves less), Nebula, to go get her back. So they take the orb to a dude who can open it. Turns out, inside is the Infinity Stone. So that's not great. Nebula shows up and destroys Gamora's ship while Ronan's fighters capture the Orb. Peter sees Gamora out there floating in space about to die. So he goes out there and gives her his helmet so that he can pull her back into his ship. So, Peter & Co. know that facing Ronan will not turn out well but that they cannot let him use the Infinity Stone. So they need to hatch a plan. Speaking of which, Ronan puts the Stone in his warhammer, taking its power for himself. Nebula, hating her dad, agrees to team up with him. So the squad decides to team up with Yondu and co. to stop Ronan. Ronan pulls up and just starts absolutely wrecking their fleet like it's nothing. Inside the ship, Drax gets his revenge moment, Gamora and Nebula have their sister fight, and everyone quickly realizes… oh no, we are in over our heads. Peter decides the best way to stop him is… a dance-off distraction which gives Drax and Rocket just enough time to destroy Ronan's hammer. Peter grabs the Infinity Stone, which should absolutely kill him—but plot twist! His friends grab onto him, they all share the power of friendship, and together they vaporize Ronan. The group officially becomes the Guardians of the Galaxy, their records get wiped clean, and Quill learns he's only half human which is why the Infinity Stone didn't kill him. Finally, Peter opens the last gift from his mom: a new mixtape. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

This week, Alex is joined by Rank 1 player (rounded up) and fan-favorite creator: Husky Puppies! The duo kicks things off by answering the community's burning question: Is the current Marvel Snap meta actually horrible? They break down the "uninteractive" nature of Star-Lord decks, discuss how to counter them in High Infinite using cards like Super Giant and Cosmo, and debate the best ways Second Dinner could nerf the card (Make him an Activate? Require a card play alongside floating energy?).Then, it's time for new card reviews! Alex and Husky discuss why the new Series 5 card Kraglin is a massive skip, why Magus is a bottom-tier release, and debate whether Drax (Avatar of Life) is the ultimate release valve for Ramp decks. Plus, Alex goes to bat for Jack Flag, calling it the best release of the month, while Husky remains skeptical until a spicy Aurora synergy is uncovered.Finally, they open the Mailbag to discuss the growing frustration around Card Shop FOMO and why waiting weeks for a specific card to rotate into the shop is creating unnecessary friction for players.Join Alex Coccia and special guest Husky Puppies as they chat about this and more on this episode of The Snap Chat—and catch Cozy and Alex every week as they discuss all things Marvel Snap.Have a question or comment for Cozy and Alex?

The Doctor's plan has failed — and the truth is finally exposed. In Part Four of The Crucible of Terror, the deception surrounding the Crucible is uncovered. What was believed to be Earth's salvation is revealed as a doomsday weapon, feeding on the planet's core and counting down to total annihilation. Betrayed by Eddic and outmanoeuvred by Drax, the Doctor realises he has been manipulated into placing the Earth itself in mortal danger. With the TARDIS unable to breach the Crucible's multidimensional shielding, humanity's last hope rests on a desperate and dangerous alternative: UNIT's experimental gravity weapon. As the planet trembles and earthquakes ripple across the globe, Drax closes in. The fate of the world hangs by a thread as the Crucible begins to rise…

This week, Alex is joined by the "Mr. Worldwide" of Marvel Snap: Dara! They kick things off with a life update, discussing Dara's move from NYC to Australia and now Thailand, living the $3 Bolt ride life while navigating a 12-hour time difference.They dive straight into the Star-Lord Season Pass review. While Alex thinks it's a solid 4-Star card, Dara drops a massive hot take: Star-Lord might be better than Shou-Lao due to his insane synergy with Fin Fang Foom and Grandmaster.Then, they roast the Super Premium card, Magus, agreeing it is "Toxic Doxy" levels of bad and a hard skip (1 Star). They also review Moon Dragon, deciding it's a "Doom 2099" dependent card that falls flat if not played on Turn 2. On the flip side, Dara claims Drax (Avatar of Life) is the best non-Season Pass card of the month, praising its ability to counter Ramp decks.Finally, they open the Mailbag to discuss a wholesome community letter and debate a spicy game design question: Should Marvel Snap introduce a 5-Turn Game Mode to create a true Aggro meta? Plus, a heavy dose of nostalgia as they reminisce about Warcraft III tower rushes and the "Golden Era" of Blizzard.Join Alex Coccia and special guest Dara as they chat about this and more on this episode of The Snap Chat—and catch Cozy and Alex every week as they discuss all things Marvel Snap.Have a question or comment for Cozy and Alex?

Aquaman and Drax beat up the Hawaiian Yakuza.---

Late Nights at BlockbusterWe are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the movie that launched one of the most unexpected franchises ever, The Fast and the Furious. As you can imagine, the Drax award is very short on this one. You don't watch these movies for the dialogue. This movie also includes one of our favorite casting what-ifs, even if it is barely believable. Byers utters one of the truly great lines in the history of our podcast when discussing an actor in Recognize My Face.Intro/Outro music by friend of the podcast Seth Gilbertson.Find more music at iTunes (⁠https://music.apple.com/us/artist/seth-gilbertson/1155231950⁠)and YouTube (⁠https://www.youtube.com/user/sethgilbertson/videos⁠)

Guardians of the Galaxy wasn't just a cosmic side quest — it was the emotional on-ramp to the entire Infinity Saga. In this retrospective episode of Marvel Maniac, we look back at the humble beginnings of Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, Groot, and Drax, while viewing the film through the lens of everything that comes later — from Infinity War and Endgame to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. From the iconic opening set to “Come and Get Your Love,” to the underplayed introduction of the Power Stone, to the quiet seeds planted for Thanos and the tragedy that follows — this episode is about why Guardians still matters, and why it hits harder now than it ever did in 2014.

The invasion is no longer a distant threat — it is here. In Part Three of The Crucible of Terror, the Doctor faces an impossible dilemma as Earth stands on the brink of annihilation. A vast alien warship looms overhead, a merciless mercenary named Drax demands the surrender of the Crucible, and humanity's leaders are paralysed by fear, mistrust, and jurisdictional conflict. As UNIT and the U.S. military clash over authority, the truth about the Crucible is finally revealed — along with the terrifying cost of using it. With time running out, the Doctor must gamble everything on an untested plan, while Kevin Vasavious is forced into a role he never wanted, and Kathy confronts the horrors of her past.

In this new series, LazyTitan and Boomguy talk about their favorite heroes, starting with #1 and working their way down their respective lists. Ever wondered why we love what we do? Who's your pick between these two?

What if the world's most powerful climate solution is being logged away while politicians and industry groups feed us misinformation? How can an ecosystem store three times more carbon per acre than the Amazon rainforest? Why has the international science community remained largely silent about the destruction of temperate rainforests? Our conversation with Paul Koberstein, co-author of "Canopy of Titans - The Life and Times of the Great North American Temperate Rainforest" tackles these urgent questions head-on. The Great North American temperate rainforest stretches 2,500 miles from northern California to Alaska, making it the largest intact temperate rainforest on Earth. Yet this carbon-dense ecosystem faces ongoing threats from industrial logging, greenwashing campaigns, and policy decisions that prioritise short-term profits over long-term climate stability.Paul shares his journey from camping beneath old-growth Douglas firs as a child to becoming an investigative environmental journalist covering forest issues for over 40 years. Our conversation examines the troubling parallels between the timber industry's tactics and those employed by fossil fuel and tobacco companies. We discuss how scientists like Dr Beverly Law faced persecution for publishing research on how forests benefit the climate. Paul explains the "global blind spot" that has allowed temperate rainforest logging to continue largely unchallenged, even as the international community rallies to protect tropical rainforests. The book reveals how industry-funded research has shaped policy debates and obscured the true climate impact of logging these ancient forests.Despite the sobering realities, Paul offers hope through examples of successful grassroots activism. When thousands of people raised their voices against Drax's expansion into California, the project was cancelled. Our conversation also touches on the dramatic shift in US climate policy under different administrations and what this means for forest protection efforts globally. Paul's advice is clear: to save a forest, you must work at it every day, but to destroy it, you only need to do it once. This episode is essential listening for anyone who cares about climate action, forest conservation, and cutting through corporate greenwashing.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and FacebookTommy's Outdoors is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk The guest featured in this episode paid a nominal guesting fee.

"This card is the GOAT." - LazyTitan In this episode of the Winning Hand podcast, Boomguy and LazyTitan delve into the world of defense events, focusing on Shield Block as the card of the day. In this episode, the hosts discuss the Captain America classic before they methodically rank and discuss various defensive events in Marvel Champions, exploring the strengths and weaknesses of each card.

UFO Undercover-Elon-Moon Mars or Bust what's all of Elon's many company's up too is Elon really Drax

Let's Chat!Some truths are hard to say out loud, but they matter if you care about the work and the people who support it. Today I'm candid about burnout, creative integrity, and the choice to pause before the quality slips any further. After a year that crossed 200 episodes and a run of intense, dark story arcs, the signs were clear: the craft needs recovery time. We talk about the mental load of writing layered narratives, the challenge of pairing heavy themes with personal growth, and the responsibility to deliver episodes that feel thoughtful, not rushed.I share where the schedule stands—Drax will land for Halloween as promised, then we'll step back for a few weeks. Thanksgiving may stay quiet while I regroup, with a likely Christmas series if the well refills the way it should. This isn't a goodbye; it's a reset with intention. Listeners have shown steady support even through a lighter posting stretch, and that loyalty deserves more than just hitting publish. It deserves our best ideas, sharper editing, and stories that earn your time.If you're a creator feeling the same strain, consider this your permission slip: rest is a strategy, not a surrender. Step back, protect your energy, and come back with work you're proud of. Gent's Journey isn't going anywhere—we're protecting the foundation so we can build better. If this resonates, follow the show, share this note with a friend who needs the reminder, and leave a review so others can find us. Your support keeps the lights warm while we reset, and we'll return with the kind of storytelling that brought you here."True mastery is found in the details. The way you handle the little things defines the way you handle everything."

Residents of Gloster say a wood pellet plant operating in their community is the cause of many health issues.They're asking the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality to continue denying the company's request to scale up production.Then, Mississippi adopts a new benchmark program to gauge the success of public schools.Plus, we talk with the producer of a documentary exploring the life and legacy of the nation's first African American Supreme Court justice.

Welkom bij Nerd Culture #225, de Gamekings podcast waar we alles bespreken wat de nerdwereld deze week bezighoudt. Van Dave Bautista die bijna Peacemaker werd tot de officiële bevestiging dat Netflix' BioShock-film gebaseerd wordt op de eerste game. We checken ook trailers van Christy, The Smashing Machine en The Rip, bespreken opvallend nieuws rond Superman, en nemen een kijkje bij Spielberg, Brendan Fraser en zelfs een onverwachte rol voor Ridge Forrester in Kees Flodder. Kortom: een aflevering vol verrassingen, nostalgie en flinke discussies over film, series en alles geeky.Dave Bautista wees rol voor Peacemaker afDave Bautista is wereldwijd bekend geworden als Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, maar bijna had hij een nieuwe iconische superheld gespeeld. James Gunn onthulde dat hij oorspronkelijk de rol van Peacemaker speciaal voor Bautista had geschreven. Toch wees de voormalig WWE-ster de kans af – simpelweg vanwege geld. Bautista kreeg gelijktijdig een aanbod voor twee films en kon zich de lagere gage van de serie niet veroorloven. Uiteindelijk stapte Gunn over op John Cena, die het personage inmiddels volledig naar zich toe heeft getrokken en er een van de meest geliefde DCU-rollen van maakte.In de podcast bespreken we hoe anders Peacemaker had kunnen zijn met Bautista in de hoofdrol, en of zijn stijl bij de serie had gepast. Ook kijken we naar zijn ambities binnen de DCU: van Bane tot Lex Luthor, Bautista droomt nog altijd van een eigen stempel in dit universum.Bioshock film gebaseerd op eerste gameNa jaren van stilte is er eindelijk duidelijkheid: de Netflix-verfilming van BioShock wordt gebaseerd op de allereerste game uit 2007. Producer Roy Lee bevestigde dat regisseur Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games, I Am Legend) zich volledig gaat richten op het verhaal van Jack en de duistere onderwaterstad Rapture. Daarmee lijkt een langgekoesterde wens van fans in vervulling te gaan, want velen vreesden dat de film een losstaand verhaal zou worden zonder directe link met de games.De grote uitdaging zit volgens Lawrence in het tot leven wekken van Rapture op het witte doek: een dystopische stad vol verval, gevaar en filosofische thema's. Met het succes van recente game-adaptaties zoals The Last of Us en Twisted Metal is het vertrouwen echter gegroeid dat dit wel degelijk mogelijk is. In de podcast bespreken we of Netflix en Lawrence de sfeer van BioShock kunnen vangen, en of dit eindelijk de videogamefilm wordt die zowel gamers als cinefielen tevredenstelt.Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #22500:00:26 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd?00:02:49 Thunderbolts00:14:12 Oceans (David Attenborough)00:18:03 Small Soldiers00:21:16 Peacemaker00:24:20 Lex Luthor en Superman slaan de handen ineen for Man of Tomorrow00:26:30 SUPERMAN SPOILERS!!1!00:27:36 Eigenlijk was het de bedoeling dat Dave Bautista Peacemaker zou gaan spelen00:30:04 Ondanks lagere box office opbrengst toch meer winst voor Superman00:34:20 Steven Spielberg blikt terug op Jaws00:37:54 Volgens Brendan Fraser moeten acteurs meer hun best doen door streaming00:39:50 Christy Trailer00:43:02 Cliffhanger sequel in de maak, nog vóór de reboot00:45:39 Smashing Machine Trailer00:48:07 Ridge Forrester gaat in Kees Flodder spelen00:50:21 Bioshock film gaat op eerste game gebaseerd worden00:53:52 Sigourney Weaver steekt de loftrompet af voor Alien: Earth00:55:38 Een eerste blik op Dr. Doom00:57:59 The Rip Trailer

In this week's episode of The Refresh, Kait dives into the wave of major announcements that dominated Cannes Lions 2025 highlighting a shift inadvertising where TV and streaming platforms stole attention from AI. From exclusive inventory deals to AI-powered product placement, the episode unpacks how players like Amazon, Disney, Netflix, and Comcast are racing to transform TV into a full-funnel, performance-driven channel. As advertisers demand better data, measurement, and real-time capabilities, DSPs and media giants are forming strategic alliances to claim their spot at the top. We cover: Amazon and Roku Partner Up: Amazon secured exclusive access to Roku's logged-in user base via its DSP, and integrated Disney's Drax exchange to enable commerce-data targeting across Disney+ and Hulu inventory. Disney Expands DSP Access: Disney added 12 new DSPs to its “Disney Live Certified” program and is scaling its Magic Words AI targeting product to enhance live event advertising. Netflix Enters Virtual Ad Placement: Netflix is rolling out AI-driven dynamic ad products, including branded insertions during paused content—mirroring The Trade Desk and Rembrand's new virtual product placement offerings. Walmart x NBCU and Comcast's Triple Play: Walmart's new partnership with NBCUniversal unlocks shopper data for cross-platform targeting, while Comcast announced three major updates spanning outcome-based measurement, dynamic shoppable ads, and identity resolution. Data Becomes the New Differentiator: With premium inventory access now considered baseline, platforms are competing on who can provide better data, targeting precision, and real-time performance insights—especially as programmatic buying expands in live content.

This episode of Drinks and a Movie is blasting off into one of the most outrageous Bond adventures ever—Moonraker (1979). Roger Moore's 007 goes from Venice to space in a spectacle filled with laser battles, deadly centrifuge tests, and the return of the unstoppable Jaws. It's over-the-top, it's ridiculous, and it's pure late-'70s Bond fun.For a movie this bold, I had to pair it with a whiskey that packs just as much punch—the Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Uncut, unfiltered, and full of intense spice and caramel sweetness, this rye whiskey hits hard, much like the G-forces in Drax's centrifuge.Join me as I break down Bond's most out-of-this-world adventure while sipping on a rye that's as powerful as a Moonraker laser blast. Buckle up, pour yourself a glass, and let's talk Bond. Cheers!
