The Anthony Mackie-led vehicle, which is the fourth Captain America film and 35th MCU film overall, managed to exceed somewhat meager box office projections, however, its reception with both critics and audiences isn't as definitive a victory. The film is currently sitting at 51% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has earned a B- CinemaScore, which is among some franchise lows for Marvel.According to exclusive reports from Deadline, the Mike Flanagan-penned, solo Clayface film seems to be on track to meet its targeted September 2026 release, with DC leadership set to hear pitches from potential filmmakers next week. Two noteworthy names rising to the top as candidates to helm the rumored horror-tragedy include Speak No Evil's James Watkins and Truth or Dare's Jeff Wadlow – with the expectation that casting will quickly follow suit once a director is locked-in. James Gunn has described the film as a DCU project, but it is still unclear whether it will connect to any existing projects or continuity. Christopher Nolan's next film for Universal, The Odyssey, has assembled an understandably stacked cast that includes the likes of Tom Holland, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o and Jon Bernthal to name a few; now Mia Goth has joined the cast in an undisclosed role, while Matt Damon's role has finally officially been revealed to the title of role of Odysseus as announced via a photo shared from the film's X account. The retelling of Homer's epic poem is slated for a July 17, 2026 release.

Meanwhile, the sequel series The Testaments has cast Chase Infiniti to star alongside returning Handmaid's Tale veteran Ann Dowd.Six-time Emmy winner John Lithgow is in final negotiations to portray Professor Albus Dumbledore in HBO‘s high-profile series adaptation of the Harry Potter books, sources tell Deadline.Ridley Scott's dystopian thriller The Dog Stars is adding to its cast, with Margaret Qualley, Josh Brolin, and Guy Pearce in final talks to join Jacob Elordi. Written by Mark L. Smith, the film adapts Peter Heller's 2012 apocalyptic novel for 20th Century Studios.Prime Video has confirmed The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power for a third season, set to film this spring. The new season will feature a major time jump, unfolding during the height of the War of the Elves and Sauron as the Dark Lord forges the One Ring.Peacock has released the first teaser trailer for season 2 of Twisted Metal, starring Anthony Mackie. The series will return this summer.Deadline's sources say Netflix is developing a live-action Dungeons & Dragons series titled The Forgotten Realms.

At the time of this recording, it was my birthday, and - in true Hobbit fashion - I'm giving YOU the gift of diving into the vast deserts of Dune with the always insightful Richard Rohlin! In this impromptu episode, we're unpacking Denis Villeneuve's Dune films—praising the awe-inspiring visuals, iconic performances, and meticulous attention to detail in part one while grappling with the pacing, missing lore, and religious undertones in part two. From the pulse-pounding shield fighting to the enigma of spice and its place in Frank Herbert's epic world-building, we tackle it all. We discuss Paul Atreides' journey, the complexities of messianic archetypes, and whether Dune truly captures Herbert's layered philosophical and ecological themes—or if Hollywood just can't do religion justice. Plus, there's plenty of nerdery, from Warhammer 40K parallels to pondering the real Kwisatz Haderach (hint: Duncan Idaho fans, this one's for you).

Arguably the single most celebrated science fiction novel of the 21st Century, Frank Herbert's Dune has long been a cultural phenomenon. Partly as a countercultural symbol thanks in part to some of its more mind-expanding themes, but mostly as a towering work of science fiction, with Herbert applying an almost textbook flavor to the original novel's many appendices to explore the ecology of this fictional world. A key piece of this involves answering the question of how human life as we know it could survive on a world that has virtually no moisture, let alone running water. Which brings us to the topic of this week's episode: the stillsuit.A stillsuit is worn by natives of Arrakis to preserve and recycle their own body's precious moisture, allowing them to last for longer periods in the open desert. When worn properly, it's a head to toe covering that recaptures everything from the moisture in your breath to basic perspiration to, um, other bodily functions, stores it in pockets, and allows you to drink it as necessary. It's a little gross, sure, but it's also an iconic piece of brainy sci-fi tech that seems like it would have solid grounding in the real world.But does it? You'll have to listen to the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here or check it out on our YouTube page to see what we found!SUGGESTED VIEWING We'll make this easy on you: to get the gist of what we're talking about this week, all you really need is Denis Villeneuve's two incredible sci-fi epics Dune (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024). These are two of the best sci-fi movies of the last 25 years and they're as close to a perfect adaptation of Herbert's original novel as you're going to get.You might also have some nostalgia for David Lynch's somewhat bizarre 1984 Dune movie, which boasts a killer Toto score, some stunning visuals and production design, and Sting in pointy underwear. Otherwise, though…stick to the Villeneuve version.And if you want a look at roads not taken for the franchise, the documentary Jodorowsky's Dune, about an absolutely bonkers Dune movie that almost got made in the 1970s is as mind-expanding in its own way as Herbert's original book. Highly recommended.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! There are many, many books in the Dune series, as the series was continued long after original author Frank Herbert's death. But really, the first book is essential classic sci-fi and you can't go wrong with it. Its immediate two sequels, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune are also terrific and thought-provoking. After that, things get really weird (but no less awesome) with God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune. In short, read the first one no matter what. Read the entire first trilogy if you're digging it. And if you really want to get into the craziness, do all six. Skip everything else!How You Lose WaterStart with a baseline understanding of the function and percentage of water in your body. Not because we think this is something everyone is going to have to worry about as climate change continues to worsen and ravage us all or anything like that. No, certainly not. It's just good to know, right? RIGHT?!?MetamaterialsThe study of metamaterials is pretty vast, their potential applications are limitless, and their very existence is so cool that maybe it's best to try and point you to a resource that has a broad range of examples. Check ‘em out. ClassifiersHonestly, classifiers sound a little cooler and fancier than they actually are, but it IS helpful to think of stillsuits in those terms to some degree.SpacesuitsOn the other hand, spacesuits are actually cooler and fancier than you already think they are, and no less an authority than NASA has you covered on their workings and the different types here.WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?Check out our episode on Netflix's The Witcher right here!Believe it or not, the original Star Wars was also influenced by Dune, and we covered the most iconic piece of tech from the franchise here.FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

Send us a textDid you ever picture two Mormon girls caught in a web of suspense and symbolism, all while questioning their beliefs? We kick off our latest episode by reminiscing about our high school days in letterman jackets before diving into "Heretic," a film that blurs the line between horror and thriller. As we unravel the narrative, we explore the film's critique on religion through its gripping dialogue and metaphorical choices, like doors labeled "believe" and "not believe." Our conversation takes unexpected turns as we ponder the characters' extreme measures when faced with doubt and faith.We shift gears and contemplate the nature of belief and reality, challenging some of the notions we take for granted, like food safety labels and even gravity. Through a lively discussion, we muse over how stories and facts are shaped by perspective, leading to some existential reflections on the simplicity of life before capitalism. Our episode takes a lighter note with a comedian's take on gun use and a review of a cleverly crafted film featuring Hugh Grant. These topics blend humor and profound insights, questioning how society shapes our understanding of truth.The excitement doesn't stop there, as we dish out the latest buzz in entertainment, from Sonic 3 to the return of Daredevil. We're thrilled about Andor and Peacemaker's upcoming seasons and the fascinating possibility of Denzel Washington joining the Marvel universe. Our chat meanders through time travel paradoxes, iconic movie reviews, and even a spirited concert experience, promising listeners a smorgasbord of humor, analysis, and cultural commentary.

In a rollercoaster of an episode, we kick things off with a bone-chilling review of Netflix's “Woman of the Hour,” where Anna Kendrick shines in a story based on the unsettling true events of 1970s serial killer Rodney Alcala. We unravel how Alcala's creepy charisma played into his deadly antics and celebrate the intuition of a character who narrowly escapes his grasp. With humor as our ally, we even ponder how platform algorithms might be crafting the tales we consume, sprinkling light-hearted banter throughout.Have you ever imagined Tom Hanks in a family drama tinged with heartbreak and humor?

We share our thoughts on poignant social commentary and relish in the shared joys of TV shows, comics, and fashion, with a nod to the exciting Tekken and Nike collab that has us buzzing with anticipation.Our musings continue with a spirited debate on the art of movie trailers and the mixed bag that is Hollywood remakes.
