ONE HELL OF A RIDE!! Constantine Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Start your online business with a $1 per-month trial when you visit https://www.shopify.com/rejects! With the DCU heating up, Aaron & John take a trip to the Occult side of the DC Comics world giving their Constantine (2005) Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey as they delve into Francis Lawrence's supernatural thriller Constantine (2005), starring Keanu Reeves (The Matrix, John Wick) as John Constantine, a damaged occult detective who can see half-breed angels and demons. Haunted by terminal lung cancer and his failed suicide attempt, Constantine faces down Hellspawn across L.A.'s underworld. When Detective Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz, The Mummy, The Constant Gardener) recruits him to investigate her twin sister's death, he uncovers a demonic plot involving the Spear of Destiny and Lucifer's own son, Mammon. Iconic moments abound: the demonic exorcism in the morgue (“mirror—NOW!”), Constantine's rooftop standoff with Balthazar, the emotional death of Chas, and the epic finale where Constantine sacrifices himself—slitting his wrists to force Lucifer's hand—and convinces the Devil himself to save humanity from Mammon, plus, the sleek nightclub mind-read for Papa Midnite's bar and the Hellscape visual effects showcase the film's cult appeal. Our hosts break down every holy ritual, razor-sharp line, and dark hero's journey in this horror-drenched DC comic adaptation. Constantine remains a moody, multi-layered action horror that asks: how far would you go to cheat Hell? #Constantine #KeanuReeves #RachelWeisz #TildaSwinton #ShiaLaBeouf #DjimonHounsou #PeterStormare #OccultThriller #MovieReaction #ReactionReview #AaronAlexander #JohnHumphrey #React #Reaction #ReactTo #Movie #MovieReaction #Film #DC #DCComics Follow Aaron On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealaaronalexander/?hl=en Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! The Running Man Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order With Netflix Fubar Season 2 releasing, Mike Flanagan's Adaptation of Stephen King's "The Life of Chuck" out now + "The Long Walk" from Francis Lawrence coming later this year, AND Glen Powell & Edgar Wright readying their reboot, Coy & Andrew are BACK for The Running Man Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Coy Jandreau & Andrew Gordon as they plunge into The Running Man (1987), Paul Michael Glaser's dystopian sci-fi action thriller based on Stephen King's novel. In a totalitarian 2019, wrongly convicted ex-cop Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Terminator, Predator) is forced onto a deadly game show where “stalkers” hunt him for sport. Facing foes like the patriotic Captain Freedom (Jesse Ventura, Predator, Commando), the explosive Fireball (Jim Brown, The Dirty Dozen, Mars Attacks!), and the razor-bladed Buzzsaw (Erland Van Lidth, Star Trek VI), Richards must survive the arena and outsmart ruthless host Damon Killian (Richard Dawson, Family Feud, Herschel in Cool as Ice). Coy & Andrew break down every iconic scene—from Richards' skyscraper leap and the “Stage 3” Hammer Cage brawl to the unforgettable “Beat the Clock” cable car finale and the climactic live on-air rebellion. Don't miss the classic lines (“You can't run forever!”) and the Easter eggs that helped redefine the action-thriller genre. #TheRunningMan #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #JesseVentura #JimBrown #RichardDawson #SciFiThriller #DystopianMovie #MovieReaction #ReactionReview #CoyJandreau #AndrewGordon #Movie #Movies #Reaction #ReactTo #React #StephenKing #clips #actioncomedy #action #scifi #movie Follow Andrew Gordon on Socials:  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovieSource Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/agor711/?hl=en Twitter:  https://twitter.com/Agor711 Follow Coy Jandreau:  Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?l...

Greg, Aaron & Johnald UNITE for a Peacemaker Season 2 | Official Teaser | Max Reaction along with The Conjuring: Last Rites | Official Teaser, and an Official Trailer for The Long Walk!! With James Gunn's Superman flying toward theaters and hailing the start of the DCU, we get a look at the followup to Peacemaker once again featuring John Cena, and giving us first looks at new DC characters played by Isabela Merced (The Last of Us), Sean Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy), and Nathan Fillion + Frank Grillo in live action as Rick Flag Sr. along with the rest of the returning & much-loved ensemble; hinting at both even greater personal stakes and clues as to how Peacemaker could fit into the new DCU, this trailer was an absolute blast!! Next we check out the 4th & final film in the flagship Series in The Conjuring Universe centered around Ed & Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilso & Vera Farmiga). The Conjuring: Last Rites is based on the Warrens' final & most harrowing case & returning director Michael Chaves has us hopeful for a chilling & fitting sendoff to Hollywood's favorite ghost-hunting power couple. And finally, director Francis Lawrence breaks free from The Hunger Games to adapt a Stephen King novel with a sinister & strikingly simple setup -- as a group of teenage compete in an annual contest with chillingly simple rules: Walk or Die. The film looks tense & unsettling, not least because Mark Hamill (Star Wars, Batman: The Animated Series, srsly SO MUCH freakin' iconic stuff) appears to be giving a chilling turn as the boys' dastardly drill-sargeant. Starring Alien Romulus' David Jonsson, Licorice Pizza's Cooper Hoffman, & a cast of upcomers - here's hoping we have another strong Stephen King adaptation on our hands!!

We're back for our final episode covering the original THE HUNGER GAMES trilogy with Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, as well as the 2014 and 2015 films directed by Francis Lawrence! What a journey! What a time! We talk about the bleak realities of war, trauma and PTSD, the continuing failures of humanity, love triangles (just to mix it up), and more trauma. Is this book a rousing good time? No. Is it exactly as bleak as it should be? Yes. REMINDER: We are in full spoiler-mode for this series, so if you haven't read the books and/or watched the movies and if you don't want to hear us speculate about the forthcoming SUNRISE ON THE REAPING, save this one for another time.

“I know I'm not one of your favorites. I'm not even welcome in your house. But I could use a little attention.” Pete's sister Amy joins us to talk about our favorite leading man, Keanu Reeves, in "Constantine", which just had its 20th anniversary last month. We know this movie is hardly perfect, but this cast, though. Keanu Reeves was directly after he made the Matrix sequels, and Rachel Weisz has a face card that none of us can deny. We'd gladly go to Hell and back for these two. Truly a fever dream of the mid-00s. Tilda Swinton plays a gender-fluid fallen angel, Gabriel. Peter Stormare from Fargo plays Satan dressed in white linens, and Shia LaBeouf may or may not be playing his exact same character from Charlies Angel's: Full Throttle. Truly a moment to be alive. We discuss Francis Lawrence's intimidating music video background, Amy and Pete's journey through Catholic school, post-Passion of the Christ Hollywood, and pre-MCU comic book movies.   Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram Peterlasagna

Ian and Mark look back on 20 years of Francis Lawrence's Constantine!At the pre-dawn of our modern comic-book movie era, Warner Bros commissioned a $100 million adaptation of the cult DC Vertigo series, John Constantine: Hellblazer, featuring a sarcastic, chain-smoking British antihero who stalks the rainy streets of London contending with the supernatural.The resulting film stars a fully Americanized Keanu Reeves fighting the forces of darkness in L.A., accompanied by his spunky chauffeur, Shia LaBeouf. In 2005, lifelong Hellblazer fan Ian was unimpressed and mildly offended. Two decades on, his opinion of the film is markedly different--as is Mark's!Join us for this wide-ranging, spoilerific review, which also looks at the comics, the short-lived NBC reboot starring Matt Ryan, and the recent news of a possible Constantine sequel--which may find Reeves once again lighting up in that dapper black trenchcoat!Subscribe, like, and comment on Kicking the Seat here on YouTube, and check us out at:kickseat.comXLetterboxdBlueSkyInstagramFacebookShow LinksWatch the Constantine trailer.You can pick up the all-new 4K Ultra HD edition of Constantine from Warner Bros.Check out Mark "The Movie Man" Krawczyk's The Spoiler Room Podcast.

De Jean le prophète à Mad-Max, les récits de fin du monde dans la pop culture et la science-fiction.Une fiction sonore documentée, produite dans le cadre de l'exposition Apocalypse, Hier et demain, à la Bibliothèque nationale de France du 4 février au 8 juin 2025. Dans un futur très lointain, Souviens-toi de l'Apocalypse nous invite à enquêter sur la fin du monde. Grâce à une rencontre inattendue et la découverte d'un manuscrit ancien, cette fiction post-apocalyptique nous révèle comment le Livre de l'Apocalypse a profondément marqué la culture « populaire », à travers les récits de science-fiction, le cinéma, le manga et le jeu vidéo.« Moi, Jean, j'ai entendu et vu ces choses. »Dans Le Livre de l'Apocalypse, Jean le prophète fait figure de premier « survivant », seul contre tous au milieu d'une humanité en perdition. Dès lors, la figure du « dernier homme sur terre », résonne à travers les récits de la culture humaine. Esthétisé par le courant romantique au 19ème siècle, le survivant devient alors dans l'imaginaire collectif une sorte de messie-poète, subjugué par les visions d'un monde en ruines, comme dans le roman d'anticipation Le Dernier homme (Mary Shelley, 1823), avant de s'incarner en guerrier, combattant de la fin des temps, comme dans le film Je suis une légende (Francis Lawrence, 2007), ou encore le jeu vidéo The Last of Us (Playstation, 2013).

I had the opportunity to sit down with Max Baker and discuss his role in the movie “Constantine” (2005) in which he acted alongside Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz. This movie, in my opinion, is one of the best adaptations from a comic book; the details in this movie are exceptional. From the special effects, the makeup, and to the acting, this movie is nothing short of phenomenal. Max Baker, a very talented individual and his character, ‘Beeman' who I thoroughly enjoyed in the movie, I was shocked when his character was killed off. No one truly knows the background of Beeman but if I could sum up the character, he reminds me of Q in the James Bond movies. The person inventing or bringing the gadgets to the hero. I would love to see a movie about Beeman. There is more to this character that we don't know about. Where does he come from? How does he get a hold of the objects that he gives to Constantine? Where did he acquire the screeching beetle and dragon's breath flamethrower? Is he a part of a secret society that helps banish evil forces? I want to know more about Beeman! Off topic, we also discussed (briefly) the fires in California and how much respect we both have for the fire fighters, police, and paramedics and in which anyone can help by donating. Let's hope that there will be a movie made about Beeman and his backstory and let's have Max Baker play him!

Big Tilda Swinter continues with Constantine! Ben, Brady, and Patrick discuss Tilda's supporting, but integral role in the quasi-cult classic 2005 comic adaptation. Directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Gavin Rossdale, and Peter Stormare.

We hope you've missed us, because we are BACK for a new series and this time we are finally covering one of the most culturally significant YA series of all time: THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins - with some special returning guests! This series will take place over the next few months (release schedule TBD) and each episode will focus on one book and its accompanying movie(s). We've decided to go full spoiler-mode on this series so we can really get into the nitty-gritty, so if you haven't read or seen any of these books and/or movies consider this your spoiler warning! We've decided to start chronologically (from the current releases, at least) with THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES. In this episode we talk villain origins, the current political landscape (yikes), toxic boys with Eminem haircuts, and so much more. Join us next time for THE HUNGER GAMES, and don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes and everywhere you get your podcasts. Reviews fuel us! And as always, a huge and eternal thanks to Djempirical for our incredible music.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2024/11/15/pofcrit-podcast-2024-jake-diamond-on-i-am-legend-francis-lawrence-2007/ In this podcast we will discuss the often-overlooked 2007 adaptation of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend. Following Will Smith's rendition of Dr Robert Neville, a virologist and last man on earth, it focuses on the psychological deterioration and complex need for coping mechanisms one would face when confronted with complete existentialism. We will discuss the difficulties of adaptation and where focus can often be shifted with minute changes, forcing different interpretations; as well as how the 2007 version - with its complicated production - is the most poignant when it comes to the horror of isolation. Additionally, we will discuss a key element, which is the paradoxical situation Robert Neville finds himself in, because as the tagline states: The Last man on Earth isn't alone.

fWotD Episode 2724: Bad Romance Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 19 October 2024 is Bad Romance."Bad Romance" is a song by American singer Lady Gaga from her third extended play (EP), The Fame Monster (2009)—the reissue of her debut studio album, The Fame (2008). Gaga wrote and produced the song with RedOne. Following an unauthorized demo leak, Gaga premiered the song's final version during the finale of Alexander McQueen's 2010 Paris Fashion Week show in October 2009 and released it as the lead single from The Fame Monster later that month. Musically, it is an electropop and dance-pop song with a spoken bridge. Inspired by German house and techno, the song was developed as an experimental pop record. Lyrically, Gaga drew from the paranoia she experienced while on tour and wrote about her attraction to unhealthy romantic relationships."Bad Romance" was acclaimed by music critics for its chorus, beat and hook. Retrospective reviewers called it Gaga's best song. It topped the charts in more than 20 countries and sold 12 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time. In the US, the song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was certified eleven times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, having sold 5.9 million digital downloads as of 2019. "Bad Romance" won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and was included in annual "best-of" lists of the media outlets Rolling Stone and Pitchfork; the former named it one of the 100 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century and 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In a 2017 journal, which studied structural patterns in melodies of earworm songs, the American Psychological Association called "Bad Romance" the catchiest in the world.The music video for "Bad Romance", directed by Francis Lawrence, features Gaga inside a surreal white bathhouse where she is kidnapped and drugged by supermodels who sell her to the Russian mafia for sexual slavery. The video ends as Gaga immolates the man who bought her. It garnered acclaim from critics for its fashion, choreography, costumes and symbolism. Briefly becoming the most-viewed YouTube video in 2010, it received a record ten nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards, winning seven, including Video of the Year. It received the Grammy Award for Best Music Video and was named the best music video of the 21st century by Billboard. Gaga has performed "Bad Romance" at television shows, award ceremonies, her concert tours and residency shows, and the Super Bowl LI halftime show.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:44 UTC on Saturday, 19 October 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Bad Romance on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Stephen.
