Welkom bij Nerd Culture, de podcast waarin we je wekelijks bijpraten over alles wat leeft in geekland. In aflevering 208 duiken we onder andere in de nostalgie van The Last Action Hero, Gargoyles en een nieuwe Suske & Wiske. Daarnaast bespreken we opvallend entertainmentnieuws: van Trumps dreigementen tegen buitenlandse films tot Walton Goggins' spannende uitspraken over Fallout seizoen 2. Ook hebben we het over Marvel's mogelijke koerswijziging op Disney+, en de bizarre financiële flops van Hollywood.Donald Trump dreigt met importheffingenPresident Trump kondigde op Truth Social aan een ‘100% tarief' in te voeren op alle in het buitenland geproduceerde films om de Amerikaanse filmindustrie te beschermen. Hij droeg het Ministerie van Handel en de Amerikaanse Handelsvertegenwoordiger op dit snel te regelen omdat buitenlandse landen filmmakers lokken met fiscale voordelen en de industrie ‘doodgaat'. Op C-SPAN gaf hij ook Californië's gouverneur Gavin Newsom de schuld. Entertainmentleiders waarschuwen dat dit zowel films als televisieseries raakt. Grote producties als Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Avatar: Fire and Ash en diverse Marvel-projecten kunnen extra kosten krijgen. De gevolgen blijven onzeker en echt onvoorspelbaar.Fallout Season 2 gaat next levelWalton Goggins, hoofdrolspeler in Fallout, zegt dat seizoen 2 “een compleet ander niveau” is vergeleken met het succesvolle eerste seizoen. In een interview met GamesRadar+ vertelt hij dat het verhaal onverwachte richtingen opgaat en dat de wereld nu aanvoelt alsof die al 200 jaar bestaat. Seizoen 1 was een enorme hit en leverde Goggins zelfs een Emmy-nominatie op voor zijn rol als de Ghoul. Het einde hintte op een reis naar New Vegas, met veel ruimte voor chaos. Hoewel er nog geen releasedatum is, belooft seizoen 2 een nog meeslepender ervaring te worden voor fans van de post-apocalyptische serie.Geen a-list Avengers meer bij Disney+ TV shows?Volgens een nieuw gerucht zal Marvel Studios hun Disney+-series in de toekomst minder laten draaien om grote filmkarakters. De aankomende Vision-serie zou de laatste zijn met een bekende bioscoopheld in de hoofdrol. Daarna richten de shows zich vooral op nieuwkomers zoals Wonder Man, die in december debuteert. Grote namen als de Fantastic Four en New Avengers blijven volgens insider Jeff Sneider voorbehouden aan bioscoopfilms, al blijven er wel verwijzingen in de series. Marvel lijkt zo een duidelijker onderscheid te maken tussen film- en tv-content, met series als springplank voor nieuwe personages binnen het MCU. Een officiële bevestiging ontbreekt voorlopig.Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:00:30 The Last Action Hero00:02:12 Gargoyles00:04:50 Asterix & Obelix00:07:56 Suske & Wiske: Het nieuwe Witje00:10:32 Nero Part 400:13:26 Conjuring: Last Rites Trailer00:16:22 Trump dreigt met 100% importheffingen voor films buiten de VS00:20:09 Tom Cruise foto00:22:22 Walton Goggins: “Seizoen twee van Fallout gaat echt next level zijn”00:25:17 Phil Spencer: “Het succes van Fallout en Minecraft inspireert ons”00:32:02 Een overzicht van de grootste financiële flops in Hollywood00:40:01 Apollo Creed figurine onthuld00:42:17 Squid Game Season 3 Trailer00:44:13 Geschrapte Andor aflevering was met K2-S0 in een horror vibe00:52:36 Lijkt Allan Cummings te verklappen dat Doomsday toch X-Men vs Avengers gaat worden?00:54:56 Captain America: Brave New World00:57:02 Geen major Marvel characters meer in Disney+ TV shows01:01:50 Binnenkort Miles Morales te zien in de MCU?01:03:43 Trinity Bliss de nieuwe Jubilee?01:05:01 Jeremy Renner moest het doen met de helft van het geld voor seizoen 201:08:39 Stick Trailer

Brim and Mr. Greer are back at it again. Apart from all the usual shenanigans, the gang chats about everything pop culture with all the trimmings including why Brim had an uneasy visit to Disneyland, why someone would want to be reincarnated as a Disney duck or cat, and a new Disney park in Abu Dhabi. The cast talks about a guy named Oliver who was diagnosed with a rare disease that could eventually paralyze him, so he quit his career, and is now sailing from Oregon to Hawaii with his cat Phoenix. The crew also discusses how Zuck is currently in a battle with the FTC, how they are claiming he owns a social media monopoly with Meta, the evolution of social media and a ride down MySpace Lane. The cast chats about the Thunderbolts and how they are the new Avengers, how Fantastic Four is possibly looking good, how AI is taking over everything, and where SAG AFTRA is in the video game strike.

Send us a textAfter returning from the AC Bachelor Invitational, EstoBro welcomes back Magikarp to the program. The guest is the first substitute guest of the podcast with TV officially locked in for wedding mode. They begin the show with talking about One Piece (3:30) and all the exciting anime that is on the horizon later in the year. The newly elected pope of the Catholic church was elected today, Pope Leo XIV, the first American cardinal to lead the faith...and he is also from the city of Chicago. In discovery, EstoBro confirmed that His Holiness is a Cubs fan, and the host takes the time to talk Chicago Cubs baseball with Magikarp because he hardly gets the chance to do so (13:20). After an electric start to the season, the pair make the criticism of what this team needs for additions in order to make a deep run in the playoffs down the stretch. When they pivot to multimedia news, they also applaud the MCU's latest installment of "The New Avengers" but you probably know it better as the Thunderbolts* (27:25). With the latest comic book film at the movies, EstoBro confirms that this film truly deserves the claim, "Best film since Avengers: Endgame," after a remarkable performance. This was the perfect film to get prepare for Fantastic Four: First Steps that is set to release this summer. Finally in nerdcore, with Magikarp being a fellow Pokémon trainer, he joins EstoBro with criticizing the soon to be released Nintendo Switch 2 (47:45). As the countdown for the new system goes on, the pair put some criticism of some other major titles being released upon rollout and even entertain of 'ETPC's Smash Injustice' with major video game characters left off the Smash Bros. Ultimate roster.

Pee jug. One less jerk at work. Hittin pavement for puss. Another show I won't go. Pizza extortion and casting exasperations. Thunderbolts, that new Marvel movie. “The best one since End Game!”

On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we're breaking down a major revelation from Thunderbolts writer Eric Pearson—including the exact moment the decision was made to pivot toward The New Avengers! Why did Marvel Studios shift gears with this title change, and what does it mean for the future of the MCU? Join Kristian and the team as they discuss the behind-the-scenes conversation between Pearson and Kevin Feige that transformed the Thunderbolts team into a new iteration of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. From Yelena's pitch to Valentina to the Russo Brothers directing the post-credits scene on the Avengers: Doomsday set, we're covering all the crucial details. Plus, we explore Pearson's additional comments on Blade, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and a tantalizing tease involving Galactus!
Frank and Jonathan break down Marvel's surprise decision to market Thunderbolts as The New Avengers and share a spoiler‑free then spoiler‑filled review of the film. They explore its focus on mental health, standout character arcs, and smaller‑scale storytelling that still packs emotional weight. The episode also features an in‑depth interview with producer Caitlin Delaney, who explains what a service producer really does, how to launch movies on tight budgets, and why mentorship shortens every filmmaker's learning curve. The hosts wrap with the latest entertainment headlines and weekly streaming picks. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Introduction and episode roadmap 00:19 Thunderbolts becomes The New Avengers marketing shift 02:39 Thirty‑second spoiler‑free first reactions 03:09 Themes of loneliness, identity, and reaching out 05:24 Character deep dive: Yelena, Red Guardian, US Agent 07:03 MCU tonal shift toward smaller budgets and bigger heart 10:35 Spoiler zone: Bob versus the void and inception‑style mindscapes 24:02 Indie sensibilities from director Jake Schreier 26:35 Two mid‑credit scenes and future Avengers team speculation 30:44 Ratings: Frank 8 of 10, Jonathan 9 of 10 31:31 News roundup: Gears of War Reloaded, Shōgun season two, Peaky Blinders return, Fantastic Four prequel comics, new Hunger Games film 40:44 Interview: producer Caitlin Delaney on budgets, genre trends, and her online mentorship academy 57:00 Creating passion projects while keeping crews employed 1:06:11 Weekly recommendations and show close Key Takeaways The New Avengers rebrand signals Marvel's intent to elevate a “B‑team” while keeping audience expectations realistic. The film's core message highlights mental health struggles and self‑worth, showing how even “benchwarmers” can rise. Smaller budget and limited CGI allow richer character moments that tug at viewers' emotions. Bob Reynolds / Sentry introduces massive power balanced by bipolar‑coded vulnerability, hinting at future MCU stakes. Indie director Jake Schreier's muted color palette and tight locations give the movie an A24 vibe within the MCU. Two credit tags tease Red Guardian's comedic future and a stronger rival Avengers squad led by Sam Wilson. Producer Caitlin Delaney explains how service producers turn money and script into finished films and why every creative benefits from mentorship. Memorable Quotes “Even the kid on the bench can hit a home run.” — Frank “The boundaries in your mind are also paper thin. You can break through them.” — Jonathan “Everybody in the industry needs to think like a producer now.” — Caitlin Delaney Call to Action Enjoyed the conversation?

Join host Logan Janis on Mostly Superheroes the Podcast as he preps us for Marvel's new film, ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps', coming to theaters on July 25, 2025. Catch the Screen & Social at Alamo Drafthouse St. Louis. Film Overview Fantastic Four: First Steps updates the origin of Marvel's first family, combining retro-futuristic visuals with a modern take on cosmic threats and familial dynamics—all under the visionary direction of Matt Shakman. Fantastic Four in Media Here's the list of Fantastic Four titles in order by year: Fantastic Four #1 – Comic Book (1961) Fantastic Four (Hanna-Barbera) – Animated Television Series (1967) Fantastic Four (70s Unproduced Cinema Feature) – Unproduced TV Pilot (~1978) Fantastic Four (Jessica Alba Film) – Live-Action Film (2005) Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer – Live-Action Film (2007) Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes – Animated Television Series (2006) Fantastic Four (Reboot) – Live-Action Film (2015) Origin & Enduring Appeal Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Fantastic Four first shocked readers with a unique origin—a crew gaining powers via cosmic rays during an unauthorized space flight. Their genuine human flaws, family bonds, and scientific wonder have kept fans intrigued for decades. Why Studios Are Committed Studios see unmatched narrative depth in the Fantastic Four. Their blend of family drama with larger-than-life challenges makes their story a rich canvas, one that promises both nostalgic appeal and fresh, character-driven action on the big screen. Our Prediction With Marvel's renewed focus and Shakman at the helm, First Steps is set to balance respect for lore with innovative storytelling. Expect a film that honors the past while boldly reimagining the team for today's audience.

It's that time of the year again where we make our friendly bet on the season's box office results. After two years in a row of Amir taking the bag, Derek and Jeff are trying extra hard in 2025 to take down the reigning champ, but will everyone's lists be different enough? Tune in as we predict the winners, losers, and wild cards of the summer.
The plan was for the Fantastic Four to go on a short little trip. That was all. Just a short trip and then boom....back to the old nine to five grind. But we ran into a little problem, didn't we. Well, hi there! Welcome to our wonderful treaty on pools, tubs, water holes, and puddles. Hopefully you will learn something. If you do not, please do not sue us. The "Great Bath" at the site of Mohenjo-Daro in modern-day Pakistan was most likely the first swimming pool, dug during the 3rd millennium BC. This pool is 12 by 7 metres (39 by 23 feet), is lined with bricks, and was covered with a tar-based sealant. Swimming pools became popular in Britain in the mid-19th century. As early as 1837, six indoor pools with diving boards existed in London, England. The Maidstone Swimming Club in Maidstone, Kent is believed to be the oldest surviving swimming club in Britain. It was formed in 1844, in response to concerns over drownings in the River Medway, especially since would-be rescuers would often drown because they themselves could not swim to safety. he modern Olympic Games started in 1896 and included swimming races, after which the popularity of swimming pools began to spread. In the US, the Racquet Club of Philadelphia clubhouse (1907) boasts one of the world's first modern above-ground swimming pools. The first swimming pool to go to sea on an ocean liner was installed on the White Star Line's Adriatic in 1906. he Amateur Swimming Association was founded in 1869 in England, and the Oxford Swimming Club in 1909. The presence of indoor baths in the cobbled area of Merton Street might have persuaded the less hardy of the aquatic brigade to join. So, bathers gradually became swimmers, and bathing pools became swimming pools. According to the Guinness World Records, the largest swimming pool in the world is San Alfonso del Mar Seawater pool in Algarrobo, Chile. It is 1,013 m (3,323 ft) long and has an area of 8 ha (20 acres). At its deepest, it is 3.5 m (11 ft) deep. It was completed in December 2006. In 2021, Deep Dive Dubai, located in Dubai, UAE, was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's deepest swimming pool reaching 60 metres (200 ft). The Y-40 swimming pool at the Hotel Terme Millepini in Padua, Italy, previously held the record, 42.15 m (138.3 ft), from 2014 until 2021. The Fleishhacker Pool in San Francisco was the largest heated outdoor swimming pool in the United States. Opened on 23 April 1925, it measured 1,000 by 150 ft (300 by 50 m) and was so large that the lifeguards required kayaks for patrol. It was closed in 1971 due to low patronage.

From the honestly pretty impressive mind of multi-hyphenate writer-comedian-actor-musician Dave Hill (Tasteful Nudes) and breakout artist Artyom Topilin (I Hate This Place) comes the SHOCKINGLY TRUE, TERRIFYINGLY HILARIOUS, AND ONLY MODESTLY EXAGGERATED tale of how one stand-up comedian forged a secret online identity as America's first true black metal icon . . . and accidentally started an international incident that almost wiped Gary, Indiana, off the map! Two decades ago, Dave Hill and his first band set out to rock their high school auditorium in a fury of heavy metal hellfire. They failed miserably. Years later, Dave has made a new life for himself as a rising star in the New York comedy scene-a career where getting laughed at on stage is the entire point and not just a tragic consequence. But when Dave's metal ambitions are reawakened by the über self-serious "satanic" genre of Norwegian black metal, Dave creates a ridiculously hyperbolic alter ego and a band to match that, together, reignite the spark of his forgotten rock 'n' roll fantasy. But when Dave's internet-fueled rumors of Witch Taint-a metal band "so extreme that you must remove all sharp objects from the immediate area" when their music is played-spreads all the way to Europe, his story will spiral dangerously out of control as Norway's most extreme black metal butchers come to reap their revenge . . . and put everything and everyone Dave holds dear in the crosshairs (of their axes, which, truth be told, don't actually have crosshairs, but, hey, it's a metaphor).
