Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.Tom Holland's fourth outing as Peter Parker/Spider-Man opened to a massively successful box office, shattering the domestic opening record previously held by Avengers: Endgame, and raking in nearly $1 billion globally in its first weekend alone - so while it beat Endgame's North American opening take, it comes in just behind it globally. Not a bad start for Disney and Marvel Studios as the conversation around superhero movies ebbs and flows in the zeitgeist. Those numbers exclude the premium IMAX format, as Spidey couldn't web up those screens due to The Odyssey still holding all IMAX screens.While Marvel is on their Spidey high, other headlines have circled the news this week - some good and some disappointing. On a positive note - Samara Weaving has reportedly been cast as Emma Frost. Horror fans will recognize Weaving from the Ready or Not films. Obsession breakout star Inde Navarette confirmed her meeting with Jake Schreier and she mentioned interest in playing Mystique. And for the bad news, Wonder Man will not get a season two after all - even though it was confirmed earlier this year - and both Kevin Feige and Maershala Ali expressed regret about the Blade film; with Feige admitting he feels like a failure for not getting it off the ground and Ali saying he's done with the project. Last week, DC Studios and HBO's Booster Gold series writer David Jenkins said that the project is no longer moving forward. Shortly after he made this statement, IGN reported that the series will, in fact, be moving forward, but with a new creative team. The New York Times reported that Barbie 2 is currently stalled, with Warner Bros. struggling to come to terms with lead talent Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, and Ryan Gosling. The studio has until December to reach a deal before the right revert back to Mattel. Stephen King's 1996 novel Desperation is getting a film adaptation from Final Destination: Bloodlines directing duo Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein. Sam Raimi will also produce the feature, his first time working with King. Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for Jumanji: Open World, which opens in theaters on December 25. The film returns franchise stars Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan. Amazon MGM Studios is developing a Warhammer 40k animated event series alongside the upcoming live-action version, sources close to the project confirmed to Deadline. Additionally, Henry Cavill, who is set to star, is also on board to be an executive producer.Dave Bautista is in talks to take on the lead role of Kratos in Prime Video's God of War series, replacing Ryan Hurst, who had to drop out of production after he sustained an on set stunt injury. Mary Holland, Star of Ghosts and The Little House on the Prairie, has been cast in a lead role as Sandra in the upcoming DC Studios and HBO Max Superman spin off series that centers on Jimmy Olsen. In a recent interview with Inverse, Jessica Henwick revealed that she declined an offer to reprise her role as Colleen Wing in Daredevil: Born Again season three because she wants to protect the character's perfect ending in Netflix's Iron Fist.

What do we make of the “background” characters of Scripture? Who was Jason? Who were the leading women? In this episode, Emma Dotter explores the background characters found in Acts 17:1-15. She highlights how the gospel makes no distinction, that God's heart is for all people, and that the Bible is full of God using unlikely people. // ADDITIONAL VERSES MENTIONED: // EPISODE CITATIONS: Leonardo Decaprio: https://depositphotos.com/photos/leonardo-dicaprio.html Taylor Swift: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/taylor-swifts-eras-tour-outfits-173853172.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMYNTjDJ6a7JKwRI1O7frZbhbTneC8iQfIpD4Yb2vafbNCjcrmUBDPA_pwGC_dtGfnGMzxgh4QkSKmjrnizvl92KHVQ0W1sB5J7DulK1alEZ5HVIc7YV2JG7L_KHoUU0M-6gOSVC-_Fe8DJHGtS5VN48vS7Pi5pjzW-3fVNvxxWf Kim Kardashian: https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2022/10/03/kim-kardashian-agrees-to-pay-126-million-to-settle-sec-cryptocurrency-promotion-suit/ Venus and Serena Williams: https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2022-09-01/serena-venus-williams-us-open-doubles Cooper Flagg: https://www.google.com/search?q=public+domain+image+of+cooper+flagg&sca_esv=0102019338db935e&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS894US894&udm=2&biw=1470&bih=775&sxsrf=APpeQntXWdaqV1L86phka3pxc5LzCKhPxg%3A1782750635202&ei=q51Caq3vC4i4qtsP356pgA0&ved=0ahUKEwjt8NXS76yVAxUInGoFHV9PCtAQ4dUDCBM&uact=5&oq=public+domain+image+of+cooper+flagg&gs_lp=Egtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZyIjcHVibGljIGRvbWFpbiBpbWFnZSBvZiBjb29wZXIgZmxhZ2dI9BVQ0AFY5xRwAXgAkAEAmAEuoAGsBKoBAjE1uAEDyAEA-AEBmAIEoAKrAcICBxAjGMkCGCfCAgUQABiABMICBBAAGB7CAgYQABgIGB6YAwCIBgGSBwE0oAfoDbIHATS4B6sBwgcFMC4zLjHIBwmACAE&sclient=gws-wiz-img#sv=CAMSVhoyKhBlLTZQZ3EwTmJzQ1gwY3VNMg42UGdxME5ic0NYMGN1TToOREZrYzVCOXZUZFpEQk0gBCocCgZtb3NhaWMSEGUtNlBncTBOYnNDWDBjdU0YADABGAcg59eL-wRKCBABGAEgASgB Dwayne Johnson: https://www.google.com/search?q=public+domain+image+of+Dwayne+Johnson&sca_esv=0102019338db935e&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS894US894&udm=2&biw=1470&bih=775&sxsrf=APpeQnvtinRVDDmKfu90qzkSQJ4DNyNrOg%3A1782750810553&ei=Wp5CaqquIfeAqtsP1LfPqQI&ved=0ahUKEwiqw6Sm8KyVAxV3gGoFHdTbMyUQ4dUDCBM&uact=5&oq=public+domain+image+of+Dwayne+Johnson&gs_lp=Egtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZyIlcHVibGljIGRvbWFpbiBpbWFnZSBvZiBEd2F5bmUgSm9obnNvbkjM-ARQ6fIEWNz3BHABeACQAQCYASygAbkBqgEBNbgBA8gBAPgBAfgBApgCA6ACdsICBxAjGMkCGCfCAgUQABiABMICBBAAGB6YAwDiAwUSATEgQIgGAZIHATOgB9ULsgcBM7gHdsIHBTAuMi4xyAcJgAgB&sclient=gws-wiz-img#sv=CAMSVhoyKhBlLWtZNjROWTNqUWFma19NMg5rWTY0TlkzalFhZmtfTToOSEg4WjZMYl9acHpVOU0gBCocCgZtb3NhaWMSEGUta1k2NE5ZM2pRYWZrX00YADABGAcgpouLpgNKCBABGAEgASgB // RESOURCES FOR FURTHER STUDY: // RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES: “S4:263 – Introduction to the book of Acts” (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...) “S4:269 – Acts 15-17” (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3NShJvbx2EPozwMwxJq2Hm?si=98ac89d64476429c) // WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY?

Adam and Jared climb to the top and plumb the depths of Dwayne Johnson's film career.
This week, join four brothers and a dad as they talk about what they've been watching, including Disney's live-action Lady and the Tramp, and react to the first official Avengers: Doomsday trailer. Does it make them more excited for the movie, or less? They also review Disney's newest live-action remake, Moana, and of course, discuss Dwayne Johnson's hair.
The hierarchy of power in the DCEU didn't just change—it completely collapsed, and the Binge Buddies are crashing down hard into the wreckage. > Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us." After riding high for two straight weeks on some genuinely fantastic superhero cinema, Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan are hitting a massive brick wall with 2022's Black Adam. Dwayne Johnson spent a decade hyping up this passion project, only to deliver what might just be the absolute worst, most soulless entry in the entire franchise. The guys are pulling no punches as they dissect the agonizingly bland action, the relentless over-use of slow-motion, the painfully forced comic relief, and the structural nightmare of introducing the Justice Society with zero buildup. But amidst the flaming dumpster fire of a script, we have to give credit where it's due: the absolute class, charisma, and saving grace that is Pierce Brosnan's incredible performance as Doctor Fate. Grab your magic amulet and hit play—we're trying to survive the sheer ego of the Rock's ultimate cinematic misfire!
Cindy Pearlman Gaber, senior writer for the New York Times and entertainment columnist for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, joins Bob Sirott to share details about the trailer for “Avengers: Doomsday,” Robert De Niro’s new movie “The Whisper Man,” and the young Chicago actor that will star in a movie with Dwayne Johnson.

Tonight on Damn You Hollywood we review the live-action remake of Moana. Released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on July 10, 2026, the film adapts Disney's acclaimed 2016 animated hit and marks the first live-action entry in the franchise. Directed by Thomas Kail in his feature film debut from a screenplay by Jared Bush and Dana Ledoux Miller, the film stars Catherine Laga'aia as Moana alongside Dwayne Johnson, who reprises his role as Maui while also serving as a producer. Returning as Tamatoa is Jemaine Clement, with Rena Owen, John Tui, and Frankie Adams rounding out the cast. Disney first began exploring the remake in 2019 before officially announcing it in 2023 as part of its continued live-action strategy during the company's centennial celebration. Produced on a reported $200–250 million budget and filmed in both Hawaii and Atlanta, the project also carries personal significance for Johnson, who has described Maui and the story's Polynesian heritage as a tribute to his culture and his late grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia.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

Another year, another Disney live-action remake. The original animated film isn’t even a decade old.

Everything old is new again this week on Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed in our latest episode: MOANA (2026). If you've seen "Moana" (2016), you've seen "Moana." Disney's going back to the animation well one more time for their latest live-action remake. The songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda are the stars again, but newcomer Catherine Laga'aia has an appealing presence in the title role. Dwayne Johnson is back as the demigod Maui (of course). In theaters. THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING: WAS IT GREAT OR WERE YOU 8?. This is our favorite game to play. This time, Alonso chose a film from his childhood to see how it holds up today. Sean Connery and Michael Caine co-star in this 1975 action epic from legendary director John Huston. If you've seen it, is it still great? Rentable and streaming in a variety of places. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Lots to talk about always including early reactions to Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" (we're seeing it Monday morning and will have an out-of-the-theater reaction), Emmy nominations, the new "Dune: Part Three" trailer, Louise Lasser and more.

For this week's main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Daniel Howat, Ema Sasic, and Tom O'Brien join me to review and discuss the Disney live-action remake of 2016's "Moana" also titled "Moana" starring Dwayne Johnson, Rena Owen, John Tui, Frankie Adams, Jemaine Clement, and Catherine Laga'aia. Arriving only two years after "Moana 2," this is another cash-grab by Disney to capitalize on the popularity of one of their most recent properties, propelled mainly by its leading star. We all know it. We all see it. But is that enough to detract from what many of us considered to be a pretty great film ten years ago, only now we're seeing it, beat for beat, in live-action? With "Hamilton" director Thomas Kail behind the camera, original song creator Lin-Manuel Miranda producing, and Johnson and Clement returning, this should be another hit for the Mouse House, right? Please tune in as we discuss the transition from animation to live-action, the story, performances, songs, visuals, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

Moana is back in Disney's new sort-of-live-action remake, but how far does it go from the original? Dwayne Johnson returns as Maui, appearing in the flesh this time around. Catherine Laga'aia plays Moana, who sets out to save her island, along with her chicken. The film features a new song from Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also wrote songs for the original animated film.

Wir müssen wieder über die BACKROOMS reden! Der Liminal-Space-Horror-Hit hat eine Extended Version mit einer 16-minütigen Post-Credit-Scene bekommen und ob sich dafür das Kinoticket lohnt, verrät euch Lenny in diesem Podcast. Außerdem haben sich Alper, Marius und Lenny die Live-Action-Verfilmung von VAIANA angesehen und sprechen darüber, ob der genauso bekloppt ist wie die Perücke von Dwayne Johnson. Von schlechten Filmen geht es zu schlechten Bewertungen. Die drei gehen Filme durch, die auf IMDb schlechter bewertet wurden als von ihnen selbst – welchen Wert hat IMDb bei der Filmauswahl? Und sind Filmkritiken deswegen eigentlich überflüssig?

Moana is the latest Disney movie to get the live-action treatment, with Catherine Laga'aia stepping in as the title character and Dwayne Johnson reprising his role as Maui.

Minions & Monsters Beats Toy Story 5—Plus New Toys and Comics!1. Movie Battle: Minions & Monsters vs. Toy Story 5 —Minions & Monsters opened July 1 and narrowly defeated Toy Story 5 over the July Fourth weekend. It earned approximately $36.4 million over the three-day weekend and $61.4 million over five days, while Toy Story 5 earned another $31 million during its third weekend. However, Toy Story 5 remains the bigger overall hit, with approximately $764 million worldwide so far. That creates your main discussion:Did Minions really defeat Toy Story, or did it simply win one weekend against a movie that had already been playing for two weeks?2. Spoiler-Free Movie Reviews — 5 minutesMinions & Monsters: The Minions attempt to become stars in 1920s Hollywood, enter the changing world of motion pictures and accidentally release monsters while trying to produce their own movie. Topics to discuss:Were the Minions still funny?Did the old-Hollywood setting make the movie feel different?Were the monsters entertaining or frightening for younger children?Is the Minions franchise becoming repetitive?Movies: Is It Too Soon for Another Moana? —Disney's live-action Moana, starring Catherine Lagaʻaia and Dwayne Johnson, opens Friday, July 10. Your discussion should not simply explain the movie. Ask:“The animated movie is only ten years old—are audiences excited to return to Motunui, or is Disney remaking movies too quickly?”You can briefly report that Minions & Monsters defeated Toy Story 5 over the July Fourth weekend, earning approximately $36.4 million against Toy Story 5's $31 million during the traditional weekend. Then tease Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, opening July 17, as next week's major movie story. 2. Toys: LEGO Pokémon Comes Alive — 6 minutesThis should be the lead story of the episode. LEGO announced 12 Pokémon SMART Play sets that respond through lights, sounds, motion, and sensing without requiring a screen. The collection launches August 1.

In Episode 245 of The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast, the show opens with shame, confusion, and a quick debate over whether this is actually Episode 245 or 246. Parker declares the episode “the best show” in a deeply suspicious presidential voice, announces the show now has 7% more freedom, and introduces Fred with a description involving a deep squat that nobody needed but everyone now has to live with. That somehow leads into Fred's heroic tale of home maintenance. After a cheap plastic drain snake broke off in his bathtub, Fred did what any responsible adult would do: ignored it for six months while standing in ankle-deep shower water. Eventually, he pulled out a hair clog so monstrous it gets compared to a New York rat, solving in two minutes what he had dreaded for half a year. Personal growth? Maybe. Plumbing horror? Definitely. The episode then shifts into weird requests from kids and the strange world of modern collectibles. The guys talk about trendy dumpling toys, fake rare collectibles, YouTube-fueled toy hype, and the moral gray area of “slightly opening” packages in the store to find the gold one. From there, it becomes a full-on card-collecting rant, with Pokemon cards, One Piece cards, scalpers, damaged packs, adult resellers, and the painful reality that grown men are fighting children for cardboard. Naturally, the crew lands on favorite Pokemon. Parker picks Cubone because of the deeply tragic backstory, Fred goes with Jigglypuff because he is emotionally lighter than Parker, and Allan chooses “the yellow one,” which is either Pikachu or the entire marketing department at Nintendo doing its job. The back half of the episode dives into celebrity contract riders and weird Hollywood clauses. Fred and Parker turn it into a guessing game, covering Dwayne Johnson's alleged no-losing-fights rule, Danny Trejo's commitment to making sure criminal characters face consequences, and Sarah Jessica Parker's wardrobe clause. It's pop culture, nostalgia, celebrity nonsense, and three grown men asking the hard questions nobody asked them to answer. #blcpodcast #podcastingforthepeople #funny #podcast #greenvillesc #scpodcast #yeahthatgreenville Listen at: https://americasfavoritepodcast.com Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blcpodcast/ Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blcpodcast/ Buy Fred and Allan Beer: https://www.patreon.com/blcworld

Phil and Emily are joined by journalist and author Josephine Riesman to continue their Richard Kelly Reichardt mini-series with the magnificent disaster that is Southland Tales (2006). And there is no better guest for it: Josie wrote the definitive deep-dive on this movie and once spent three hours walking Venice Beach interviewing Richard Kelly himself.Set in an alternate 2008 where nuclear attacks on Texas have tipped America into a surveillance-state apocalypse, Southland Tales unleashes Dwayne Johnson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Justin Timberlake, and a cast of SNL alumni across a sprawling, end-of-days Los Angeles on the Fourth of July. It premiered at Cannes as an unfinished cut on DVD, got booed into oblivion, made a legendary $374,000 against a $17 million budget, and then quietly became the cult object that fans swear is more true than the reality we actually got.The gang digs into why a movie this incoherent is also this irresistible. Emily makes her case that it is what you would get if Philip K. Dick novelized Robert Altman's Nashville, while Phil counters with "Magnolia with a head injury." Josie reveals what Kelly told her about that surreal Justin Timberlake lip-sync to The Killers, the tie-in graphic novels, the Cannes catastrophe, and why he has a reason for every baffling choice, even the ones that never made the final cut. Plus its eerie kinship with Children of Men and The Handmaid's Tale, and the thin line between satire and prophecy.Misunderstood masterpiece or beautiful trainwreck? On America's 250th birthday, it might be the only movie that fits. This is the way the world ends.Follow the show & guests:Podcast Like It's... — https://www.instagram.com/podcastlikeitsPhil Iscove — https://www.instagram.com/pmiscoveEmily St. James — https://www.instagram.com/emilystjamsJosephine Riesman — [handle?]
In this episode featuring Travis and producer Eric, the duo dives into a fascinating story shared by wrestling legend Dwayne Johnson about negotiating his WWE contract. What begins as a discussion about professional wrestling quickly turns into a practical lesson on compensation, business economics, and how employees can position themselves for higher earnings. Travis breaks down why understanding a company's financial realities is essential for anyone looking to increase their income, while Eric shares personal experiences from his early career that illustrate the importance of creating value before asking for a raise. On this episode, we talk about: The Rock's contract negotiation lesson from WWE Why understanding business economics leads to better compensation discussions How employees can create leverage before asking for a raise Common misconceptions about business owners and profitability Eric's experience creating additional value in a marketing role Why entitlement hurts career growth How learning new skills increases earning potential The realities of restaurant and small business profit margins When it's time to move on from an employer who doesn't recognize your value Viewing compensation conversations through the employer's perspective Top 3 Takeaways Learn the business before negotiating compensation. Understanding how a company makes money, what its costs are, and how your work contributes to revenue allows you to make a stronger case for higher pay. Create value first, then ask for more. The best raises often come when you've expanded your role, developed new skills, or increased the company's profitability beyond what you were originally hired to do. Think like an owner, not just an employee. When you understand the challenges, expenses, and risks involved in running a business, you'll be better equipped to identify opportunities that benefit both you and your employer. Notable Quotes "If you're going to get a good idea of what value you're going to bring to the organization, then you should probably get a good idea of what the bottom line looks like." "You have to ask the question: What's in it for them, not what's in it for me." "The next job that you get, you can start off at a higher threshold because you have more skills to bring to the table."
