Director, writer, and actor Macon Blair has been making movies with friends since he was young -- including frequent collaborator Jeremy Saulnier. His new film is THE TOXIC AVENGER, starring Peter Dinklage and Kevin Bacon. It might not feel like an obvious follow-up to his work with Saulnier, nor to Blair's previous film, I DON'T FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE; neither might seem like a direct descendent of Macon's "feeling seen" choice, DAZED AND CONFUSED. But as Jordan will uncover during this conversation, the through-lines are there. They always are.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about this year's BIG BAD FILM FEST. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.

Writer, director, producer, and actor Macon Blair joins us this week to talk about his fascinating career, and his bold new take on a cult classic: the unrated remake of The Toxic Avenger (in theaters August 29).You've seen Macon on screen in films like Blue Ruin, Green Room, Thunder Road, and even Oppenheimer. He also won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize with his directorial debut I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore, starring Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood. Now, he's back with a gooey genre shift...reimagining Lloyd Kaufman's radioactive hero for a new generation while honoring the messy, subversive spirit of Troma.We dig into Macon's creative path from Murder Party with Jeremy Saulnier all the way to working with Elijah Wood and Peter Dinklage on this bonkers new Toxie. Along the way, we talk about practical effects (yes, intestines are involved), absurd kills that didn't make the cut, the challenges of redesigning an iconic monster, and why The Toxic Avenger might actually be the perfect antidote to the Marvel-ification of movies.and of course we ask the important question… when can we expect 2oxic 2venger: Toxie vs Dracula vs the Unicorn's Horn in Space?If you love cult cinema, superhero parodies, or just a good old fashioned over the top practical effect, you don't want to miss this conversation sooo...Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage (all socials)Sean: @hypocrite.ink (IG/TikTok), @hypocriteink (Twitter/X)Enjoyed this episode?

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesIt would appear as though Ryan Reynold's social media stunt we discussed last week is having the intended effect as a few of our favorite trades can't seem to come to a consensus. First, in the August 15 edition of Heat Vision, The Hollywood Reporter's exclusive column for all things comics, horror and sci-fi, Borys Kitt claimed that their sources confirmed Deadpool's inclusion in Avengers: Doomsday. However, later that day Deadline refuted the speculation by citing their own sources who said the actor has not been seen on the London set and is not intended to appear in either upcoming Avengers film. In less nebulous Doomsday talk, Nightcrawler actor Alan Cumming described his experience returning to the role as healing, after a terrible experience on 2003's X2. It's a big week for DC Studios with Superman hitting Video-On-Demand last Friday and Peacemaker Season 2 premiering this Thursday. While on the red carpet for the show's debut in New York, DC Studios head and Peacemaker's showrunner James Gunn defended Superman's quick availability for home viewing after just 35 days in theaters, by sharing how the film impacts the series. “It's a big part, definitely Superman leads directly into Peacemaker,” said Gunn, while speaking with The Hollywood Reporter. “Superman leads into this show and then we have the setting up of all of the rest of the DCU in this season of Peacemaker, it's incredibly important,” he continued. Gunn also teased the future for Superman on the big screen, saying, “I've already finished the treatment for the next story in what I'll call the ‘Superman Saga.' The treatment is done, which means a very, very worked-out treatment. I'm working on that and hopefully going into production on that not too far away from today.”Back to the Wasteland we go, as Amazon's marketing for Fallout Season 2 has begun in preparation for its December 17 premiere, with a full-court press that includes first look images and a trailer that was released earlier today. The images showcase returning characters played by Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, Moises Arias, Aaron Moten and Kyle McLachlan, while the two minute 42-second trailer gave us our first glimpse at Justin Theroux's enigmatic Mr. House and McCauley Caulkin in an undisclosed role, which were of course accompanied, yet again, by the crooning stylings of The Ink Spots.In an interview with Collider, Marvel Zombies director Bryan Andrews confirmed that the series has moved its release date up to September 24th, and all episodes of the series will be available to stream at once. He also confirmed that the four episodes will be rated TV-MA.At a recent London fan event Sir Ian McKellen claimed Frodo and Gandalf will appear in Andy Serkis' upcoming The Hunt for Gollum film without specifying whether he and Elijah Wood would reprise their iconic roles.NBCUniversal announced that it has acquired all rights, excluding publishing, to Robert Ludlum's popular Jason Bourne and Treadstone book series.Weapons took the number one spot at the box office again in its second weekend with a drop of only 43%, bringing its worldwide total to nearly $150 million dollars. Nobody 2 generated around $15 million dollars worldwide in its opening weekend on a $25 million dollar budget.Netflix has dropped a trailer for the second half of season 2 of Wednesday, which will stream on September 3rd.Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers are in talks for a massive overall deal with Paramount that includes both streaming and features with a big theatrical component, something the pair have not been able to get at their current home of more than a decade, Netflix.Original Scary Movie actresses Regina Hall and Anna Faris are coming back as Brenda and Cindy, respectively, for the Wayans Brothers' restart of the comedy franchise, which is eyeing a 2026 release.
Dan Loges delivers the latest entertainment news on:- Luke Bryan responds to getting a ball thrown at him during an encore performance.- Luke Combs discusses his "pure O OCD" diagnosis.- Ian McKellen announces he and Elijah Woods will be returning as their Lord of the Rings characters in upcoming film.

After witnessing a murder, a high school photographer believes the teachers at his school have been taken over by aliens and he investigates the odd phenomena sweeping over his school.The Faculty is a 90s scifi horror movie like no other, paying homage to so many films before it. It features an amazing cast of breakout stars, and it's directed by Robert Rodriguez. It truly feels like The Thing meets The Breakfast Club as a sci-fi mystery that stars Elijah Wood, Josh Harnett, Jordana Brewster, Clea Duvall, Robert Patrick, Famke Janssen, Piper Laurie, Usher, Salma Hayek, and Christopher McDonald to name a few. It's a cult classic that pits an unlikely band of high school teens, meeting all the stereotypes, against the teachers who are in charge and play host to a parasitic alien race.

“This is a Spike TV movie, right?” - Eric On this week's episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza gets down and dirty for the all-or-nothing days as we chat about Robert Rodriguez's still totally wild comic translation, Sin City! Thankfully, folks, this movie still looks totally rad! How eerie is Elijah Wood as Kevin? Even with as fun a ride as this is, did we really need to adapt every bit of the Miller sleaze vibes? Will Rodriguez ever get his edge back? How great is Mickey Rourke in this movie? Was having three different musicians do three different scores a good idea? Should the Hartigan story have been cut in two or should the film have been left as the triptych with the Hartnett character as the bookend? PLUS: Kurt Russell and the arctic crew from The Thing all check to see who's The Thing by doing the asparagus pee test! Sin City stars Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Josh Hartnett, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Clarke Duncan, Carla Gugino, Rutger Hauer, Jaime King, Tommy Flanagan, Nick Offerman, Marley Shelton, Nick Stahl, Elijah Wood, Devon Aoki, Alexis Bledel, Powers Boothe, and the late, great Michael Madsen as Bob; directed by Robert Rodriguez. [EDITOR'S NOTE: We recorded this episode on June 18, several weeks before we lost Michael Madsen. The guy was a total legend, a singular performer who gave us so many memorable film appearances that we've loved and quoted a ton over the years. We'll miss the guy, gone way, way too soon. — Andrew] Our three-night, six-show residency at the Oxford Comedy Festival starts THIS FRIDAY, July 18th! We'll be there through the 20th doing WHM, WLM, Animation Damnation, Gleep Glossary and Nexus shows! The Quantum of Solace and Hellraiser shows are sold out, so don't wait, snag your tix now, UK!

A list of celebrities who did background work before making it big includes Elijah Wood in who played a kid playing a video game in the sequel to Back to the Future. What was that sequel called?
On the Saturday July 12, 2025 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we'll meet Paul Sun-Hyung Lee. You know the Canadian Screen Award winner as family patriarch Appa on “Kim's Convenience,” and as Inspector Albert Choi, the new head of Station House No 4, on “Murdoch Mysteries” and as Captain Carson Teva on the Star War series “The Mandalorian,” “The Book of Boba Fett” and “Ahsoka.” We'll also meet a guest who began his career as a child actor, appearing in everything from “Back tio the Future II” to Internal Affairs opposite Richard Gere. He became an international star after playing Frodo Baggins in the acclaimed “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. He's Elijah Wood, and his extensive filmography now includes “Bookworm,” an intriguing film about a 12-year-old named Mildred whose life is turned upside down when her mother lands in hospital and estranged, American magician father, Strawn Wise, played by Elijah Wood, comes to look after her. Hoping to entertain the bookish tween, Strawn takes Mildred camping in the notoriously rugged New Zealand wilderness, and the pair embark on the ultimate test of family bonding — a quest to find the mythological beast known as the Canterbury Panther. Then, we spend time with Gabrielle Drolet, a journalist, essayist, and cartoonist based in Montreal. She regularly contributes cartoons to The New Yorker and the Globe and Mail and is the first woman to receive a National Newspaper Award nomination for Editorial Cartooning. In 2020, she developed a condition that made her unable to use her hands. It only worsened over time, and as a writer and artist, she had to learn new ways of creating and expressing herself. She placed her first cartoon in The New Yorker—and then was unable to draw for a full year. She has since found ways around this using graphic design software, exercises, and many, many breaks, but the experience has completely changed her life. She writes about her experiences in her new book, “Look Ma, No Hands: A Chronic Pain Memoir,” an often funny but profound book on chronic pain, accessibility, and young adulthood.
In this interview--just before The Return of the King was released--Elijah wood reflects on the journey of becoming Frodo Baggins.
In this episode of The Long Game, host Elijah Wood talks with Michelle Thames—digital marketing strategist, podcast host, influencer, and former healthcare worker turned full-time entrepreneur.After getting fired from her 9-to-5, Michelle turned her natural hair blog into a personal brand that built a massive following and launched a career. Today, she runs a boutique marketing agency, teaches multi-passionate women entrepreneurs, and builds digital products that sell in her sleep.We explore how Michelle uses AI tools like ChatGPT to plan entire marketing campaigns, launch events, and organize her content calendar. We also break down what clarity in your personal brand really looks like, why simple content wins, and how to balance multiple income streams without burning out.

This is it - the finale! And it's a long one. We have all the emotions, opinions, revelations and debates. Lina finally can come clean about some of her slightly petty tries of misleading Vero and also won't shut up about various things she simply could not mention before Vero reached this episode. We went on a lot of tangents and had to take out quite a bit of material, because we simply did not stop talking about things that probably will end up being topics for the Summoning episode. But as chaotic as we are, who knows which of that is actually going to be talked about, so if you don't wanna miss out, check out our Patreon to find all of that tasty bonus audio: https://www.patreon.com/taotpodcast And if you don't already, feel free to follow us on our not really active socials: * Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theappleoftruth.bsky.social * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taotpodcast

Send us a textWe dive into the horror-comedy "Cooties" where a cafeteria food virus turns elementary school children into zombie-like infected creatures, forcing teachers to band together and fight for survival against their former students.• Film stars Elijah Wood, Rainn Wilson, and Alison Pill as teachers trapped in a school with infected children• The virus only fully "zombifies" pre-pubescent children while adults only get flu-like symptoms• Transmission occurs through bites and scratches, mimicking how children spread "cooties" in playground games• Strategic barricading was effective until the children accessed the ventilation system• Characters showed impressive resourcefulness, creating weapons from everyday school items• Water collection and non-perishable food items are top priorities in any apocalyptic scenario• Initial phases of societal collapse would likely have abundant housing due to population reduction• The group agrees to watch "Cast Away" for their next episode

Send us a textRemember that feeling of escaping into comic books and Saturday morning cartoons as a kid? Comic-Con is the adult version of that same magic — a place where imagination takes center stage and your inner child can roam free without judgment.For me, growing up in rougher neighborhoods, I found solace in X-Men comics, Ninja Turtles episodes, and movies that transported me far from reality. Discovering Comic-Con as an adult felt like finally finding a home for that same wonder and enthusiasm.With Phoenix Fan Fusion (June 6-8) bringing heavyweights like Hayden Christensen, Kevin Smith, and Elijah Wood, and San Diego Comic-Con set to take over July with its can't-miss reveals, it's not just about star sightings — it's about reconnecting with the kid inside who still believes in heroes, villains, and epic storylines.This episode, we're diving into how Comic-Con can be that bridge between the nostalgia of our childhood summers and the responsibilities of adult life — and why we need those moments of pure, unfiltered enthusiasm more than ever.Tap in, share your own Comic-Con memories, and let's keep that inner kid alive.Thank you for listening now please go back and check out some of my previous episodes.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!
