We weren't expecting this miniseries on Dwayne Johnson to be so relevant, but as he debuted his “new look” at the Venice Film Festival and began his awards season campaign, Laci and Matt react to the news of the week and unpack his public comments. Johnson reflected on his own career with many of the thoughts we've had as we've gone through his filmography. Is he sincere about it, or just being a good politician trying to win an award? Does he mean it when he says he was ready to pivot to “serious acting” or he was forced to by having so many consecutive box office failures? And is Emily Blunt really his best friend? Does it matter? We take the new information and give our concluding thoughts on the acting career of The Rock, and then rank the nine movies we covered during the summer. And then, we answer some mailbag questions, including: Fuck/Marry/Kill: The duck who shows her tits in Howard the Duck, tiny Dwayne Johnson in Tooth Fairy, and the Thanksgiving turkey from Spider-Man? What relationship from any movie sums up our relationship? Is there a movie that strikes both of us in such a way that we connect over it? What are some underrated movie sequels? What makes us passionate about movies and TV? What movie makes us fight? The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long! Next week: FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992). Bonus video: Matt does a deep dive into Tower of Terror (1997), the made-for-TV movie starring Steve Guttenberg and Kirsten Dunst and based on the Disney theme park ride  English-language: https://youtu.be/kQf9FbCcbn4  Subscribe to our Patreon, Load Bearing Beams: Collector's Edition for $5 a month to get two extra episodes! https://patreon.com/loadbearingbeams    Time stamps: 01:00 — Dwayne Johnson at the Venice Film Festival 34:38 — Ranking the Summer of Rock movies 37:02 — Mailbag   Sources: “Dwayne Johnson Gets Choked Up Discussing ‘The Smashing Machine' in Venice” by Patrick Brzeski | The Hollywood Reporter (2025) - https://bit.ly/487IeV4  "Dwayne Johnson Uncontrollably Sobs as ‘The Smashing Machine' Gets 15-Minute Venice Standing Ovation and Generates Oscar Buzz" by Rebecca Rubin & Ramin Setoodeh | Variety (2025) - https://bit.ly/466fCsG   Artwork by Laci Roth.

Dwayne Johnson steps into a weighty role in a fighter's biography debuting in Venice. The AP's Jennifer King has more.

Han är Hollywoods bäst betalde skådespelare, med ett förflutet som kung i en annan värld späckad av drama och högtflygande stunts. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. När supersnuten Luke Hobbs, svettigt, ilsket, och muskulöst spelad av Dwayne Johnson, drabbar samman med Vin Diesels lika grovhuggna antihjälte Dom Toretto i actionfilmen ”Fast five” är det en ostoppbar kraft som möter ett orubbligt föremål. Den filmiska krocken skakar om biosalonger världen över, och när intäkterna har räknats samman är det ett kvitto på att Dwayne Johnson är mannen Hollywood ska ringa för en kassainjektion.Så inleds berättelsen om en klättring till den absoluta toppen av underhållningspyramiden i USA. Men Dwayne Johnsons historia börjar mycket tidigare än så. För innan han fick folk från Texas till Tianjin att flockas till biograferna var han redan den största stjärnan i wrestling – en bransch som mainstreamkulturen länge rynkat på näsan åt, och en företeelse som belackarna har kallat fejk men vars äkta fans är gränslöst lojala.Det är i slutet av 90-talet som Dwayne Johnson gör entré i ringen som wrestlaren The Rock. Hans bisarrt kaxiga attityd, matchad av en lika vågad garderob, överträffas bara av hans förmåga att trollbinda publiken med sina fysiska konster. Snart har han blivit wrestlingvärldens starkast lysande stjärna.Bakom sig har Johnson en uppväxt i en familj där fribrottningen alltid har varit närvarande, på gott och ont. I skuggan av en berömd pappa, och dennes svaghet för ”livets goda”, har Dwayne Johnson tvingats navigera genom både ekonomisk och känslomässig otrygghet, besvikelser och stängda dörrar.Det är också de erfarenheterna som, tillsammans med en omtalad förmåga att förutspå vad publiken vill ha, ligger till grunden för vad han själv har pratat om som ett möjligt nytt kapitel i livet: en karriär inom politiken.I avsnittet medverkar Messiah Hallberg, komiker, programledare och tidigare wrestlingentreprenör, och Amy Nicholson, filmkritiker på tidningen The Los Angeles Times.Klippen i avsnittet är hämtade från WWE:s Youtubekanal, The Joe Rogan Experience, PBD Podcast, What Now? With Trevor Noah, Movieclips, The Oprah Winfrey Network, Vanity Fair, Fox News, Dwayne Johnsons X-konto.

Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski look ahead in the world of physical media and reveal what you can add to your library this week and next. For those who have seen Spike Lee's remake, Highest 2 Lowest, Crtierion offers up the Kurosawa original in OK. You may have been issued it when you first bought your DVD player but now you can get the TV sci-fi adaptation with a unique stake in box office history.

On part à Venise, en Italie, où se tient jusqu'à samedi 6 septembre la 82ème Mostra. Le plus ancien festival de cinéma au monde fait la part belle aux productions américaines, notamment en compétition. On se souvient qu'en 2016, La La Land ouvrait le festival vénitien, Emma Stone remportait le prix d'interprétation féminine quelques mois avant la razzia aux Oscars. Les majors et les plateformes de streaming profitent du rendez-vous vénitien pour faire la promotion de leurs productions. De notre envoyée spéciale à Venise,  Moins exposée que le festival de Cannes, idéalement programmée pour lancer la campagne des Oscars, la Mostra est devenue ces dernières années l'écrin rêvé pour les productions hollywoodiennes de prestige. Et notamment les films de plateformes qui peuvent ici concourir en compétition. Parmi les blockbusters d'auteurs en lice pour le Lion d'or : Frankenstein. Netflix a accordé un budget faramineux, 120 millions de dollars à Guillermo del Toro, pour revisiter ce classique de Mary Shelley : la création contre-nature d'un être humain à partir de cadavres. « On vit dans une époque de terreur et d'intimidation. Et pour moi la réponse, c'est l'amour et l'art en fait partie. La question que pose le roman, c'est : qu'est-ce qu'un être humain ? Il n'y a pas de tâche plus urgente que de préserver notre humanité. Mon film montre des personnages imparfaits et le droit d'être imparfaits », explique Guillermo del Toro. Ces films hollywoodiens questionnent tous la perte ou la quête de sens. Dans Jay Kelly, le réalisateur Noah Baumbach met en scène George Clooney en mégastar se rendant compte, à 60 ans passés, qu'il est bien seul dans la vie. « Quand vous faites un film sur un acteur, vous faites en réalité un film sur l'identité et la représentation, finalement la quête de soi, raconte le réalisateur. C'est ce que nous éprouvons tous : nous ne sommes pas les mêmes avec notre famille, nos amis ou nos collègues. Nous sommes différents personnages selon les situations. » Plus radical, mêlant science-fiction et satire de l'époque, Bugonia de Yorgos Lanthimos montre une Amérique en perte de sens. Deux Américains complotistes kidnappent une cheffe d'entreprise, campée par Emma Stone, qu'ils prennent pour une extraterrestre. Pour le réalisateur, déjà primé à Venise il y a deux ans, le propos est plus réaliste que dystopique : « Mon film reflète le monde réel. Tout ce que l'on voit dans le monde, l'intelligence artificielle, les guerres, le dérèglement climatique, c'est ce qui se passe en ce moment. » La Mostra doit encore présenter plusieurs gros calibres américains en compétition, comme le nouveau film de Kathryn Bigelow avec notamment Idris Elba, ou The Smashing Machine avec Dwayne Johnson, alias The Rock, dans un rôle à transformation comme les adore l'Académie des Oscars.

This is the end, beautiful friends. We conclude the Summer of Rock with the much-better-than-I-remembered Jungle Cruise, a movie we abruptly pivoted to covering after trying to watch Black Adam and giving up out of boredom.  We cover the history of movies based on theme parks, the rocky production of Jungle Cruise, its unfortunate failure at the box office, and then we go through the movie itself, trying to figure out if this is one of The Rock's better late-career performances or if he's being carried entirely by Emily Blunt. The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long! Next week: We'll have a shorter bonus episode to wrap up the Summer of Rock, and we'll answer a few mailbag questions. Our next proper episode will be September 12, 2025, about FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992).

There have been a number of big summer movies like "F1: The Movie," "Superman" and "Jurrassic World: Rebirth." But these popcorn movies are not likely destined for big awards.

You can also review a full list of notable films below.

Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay and Taylour Paige star. “Jaws” – The first summer blockbuster returns to the big screen after months on television. Now, you can see what audiences were scared of in 1975. “Love, Brooklyn” – Friends navigate the pitfalls of life in Brooklyn. September releases “Megadoc” – Mike Figgis looks at the making of Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis.” “The Conjuring: Last Rites” – Those creepy paranormal investigators say they’re taking on one last case (sure) to settle their own lives.

They went and made a dang spin-off to the Fast & Furious franchise, and it made a ton of money, and there's no chance it'll ever get a sequel because no one liked it. Especially not Matt. Matt is utterly miserable talking about Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019), but Laci's able to help him get through it by diving in to all the messy drama surrounding Dwayne Johnson's feud with Vin Diesel that led to Luke Hobbs getting exiled from the main Fast & Furious series of movies.  Next week: Jungle Cruise (2021) The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s.

Tariffs imposed during the Trump administration are now impacting businesses, leading to layoffs and price increases as companies adapt to rising costs. Outdoor brand KAVU has implemented cost-saving measures, including freezing marketing spending and limiting employee travel, while preparing to raise prices due to escalating tariffs on imports from countries like India and Vietnam. Public companies such as QVC Group and Allbirds are also planning price increases to mitigate the effects of tariffs, which could contribute to higher inflation and reduced consumer spending. As the stability of tariff rates becomes clearer, businesses may become more decisive about hiring and layoffs.The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is surging, with nearly 80% of companies reportedly using generative AI. However, many firms are experiencing little to no significant impact on their bottom line, reminiscent of the productivity paradox seen during the personal computer boom. A survey indicates that CFOs are increasingly prioritizing AI for productivity and long-term revenue growth, with a notable shift in budget allocation towards agentic AI. Despite the optimism surrounding AI investments, the anticipated benefits have yet to materialize, raising concerns about skill degradation among professionals who rely heavily on AI tools.Recent executive orders signed by President Trump may have significant implications for cybersecurity, potentially reversing progress made under previous administrations. While some directives aim to enhance preparedness for cyberattacks at the state and local level, others remove critical software security requirements for government vendors. This shift could undermine existing protections and create vulnerabilities, benefiting hackers and fraudsters. Additionally, Disney's decision to cancel plans for a deepfake version of Dwayne Johnson highlights the growing concerns over copyright and AI-generated content, as studios grapple with the implications of intellectual property rights in the age of AI.As AI adoption accelerates, companies are rethinking their pricing strategies, moving from flat fees to consumption-based models to maintain profitability amid rising operational costs. This shift raises questions about forecasting costs and protecting margins, as unexpected spikes in per-task billing could impact clients. Furthermore, the limitations of AI systems in self-assessing their capabilities pose challenges for trust and validation in AI outputs. With significant vulnerabilities identified in AI systems during stress tests, service providers must ensure their AI offerings are built on robust, verified systems to deliver reliable value to clients. Four things to know today 00:00 With Tariffs Solidifying, Businesses Tighten Spending and Raise Prices, Forcing IT Providers to Prove Value03:56 Generative AI Adoption Hits 80%, Yet ROI Elusive as Healthcare Skill Loss and Data Risks Emerge07:56 Mixed Cybersecurity Signals from White House; AI Copyright Uncertainty Halts Disney's Moana Project10:50 AI Managed Services Evolve as Consumption Pricing Rises, Chatbots Mislead, and Red Teams Find 139 Flaws  Supported by:  https://www.moovila.com/https://scalepad.com/dave/  Tell us about a newsletter!https://bit.ly/biztechnewsletter All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
