There were two girls over there. They didn't know each other, but they were in there, each [of their] mothers had committed suicide.

AND FINALLYHollywood's Biggest Faceplants: The 10 Most Disappointing Flops of 20252025 had its hits, but let's be honest—it was also a year where some massive blockbusters crashed and burned. From superhero fatigue to Oscar-bait that nobody bit on, here's a look at the ten movies that just couldn't get audiences into seats this year. 1. Thunderboltsa. Marvel is definitely feeling the pain. While this movie made nearly $400 million, that's peanuts compared to the glory days of Avengers: Endgame. It suffered from the same problem as Captain America: Brave New World: it just felt like reheated leftovers from a saga that ended years ago. Aside from Superman, it looks like superhero fatigue has officially set in. 1. Snow Whitea. This was the exception to the rule that Disney remakes print money. It didn't even make back its budget. The movie had an identity crisis—trying to be both a classic recreation and a subversive twist—but the real killer was the PR nightmare. Between the casting controversies and political debates, the movie was "covered in mud" before it even hit theaters. 1. Mickey 17a. Everyone was dying to see what director Bong Joon Ho would do after Parasite. The problem? We waited too long. After endless delays, the hype died. When it finally dropped in February, reviews called it "toothless" and confused. Even Robert Pattinson couldn't save this sci-fi epic from being a disappointment. 1. After the Hunta. You'd think Julia Roberts and the director of Call Me by Your Name would be a slam dunk. Nope. It made less than $10 million globally (which is like, half of Roberts' salary). The movie was too long, too rambling, and felt more like a streaming series than a cinema event. 1. Christya. Sydney Sweeney is everywhere, but apparently, that doesn't guarantee box office sales. Her boxing biopic had one of the worst opening weekends ever for a wide release. It seems social media fame doesn't always translate to ticket sales. Sweeney defended it, saying she made it for "impact," not numbers, which is good, because the numbers were bad. 1. I Know What You Did Last Summera. Studios thought they could pull a Scream with this 90s revival. The issue? People actually love Scream. Nobody really cares about "The Fisherman" or the original 1997 film enough to show up for a legacy sequel. 1. Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowherea. Jeremy Allen White played The Boss, but audiences didn't show up. Why? Because the movie focused on a depressing, quiet period of Bruce Springsteen's life where he moped around a bedroom recording acoustic tracks. People wanted the stadium anthems and energy, not the gloom. 1. Elio a. Pixar had a huge win with Inside Out 2, but Elio brought them back down to earth. The original director left mid-production, and the final product felt like a movie with no reason to exist. It was hard to explain the plot, and audiences just didn't connect with the aliens. 1. M3GAN 2.0a. The first M3GAN was a viral hit because it was campy, slasher fun. The sequel failed because it tried to pivot into a sprawling, geopolitical action thriller. The producers admitted they overthought it—they should have just given the people more of the killer doll they loved. 1. The Smashing Machinea. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson really wants an Oscar. He teamed up with Emily Blunt and an indie director for this gritty MMA drama. But here's the thing: nobody goes to a Rock movie to be depressed. It was a bleak story about addiction, and audiences preferred to stay home.

Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas, donde exploramos el séptimo arte con una mezcla de pasión erudita y un toque de ironía bien destilada. Hoy, nos sumergimos en las profundidades azules y luminosas de Pandora para diseccionar la trilogía de Avatar dirigida por ese visionario incansable que es James Cameron. Sí, esa saga que parece salida de un sueño febril de un ecologista con presupuesto ilimitado, donde humanos con avatares azules bailan con la naturaleza en un ballet de efectos especiales que aún nos deja boquiabiertos.Hablemos primero de lo obvio: estas películas son monstruos taquilleros. La original de 2009 recaudó casi 3.000 millones de dólares, convirtiéndose en la cinta más exitosa de todos los tiempos sin ajustar por inflación –un récord que solo Avengers: Endgame osó desafiar brevemente antes de que Cameron la recuperara con un reestreno. Luego vino Avatar: El Camino del Agua en 2022, que añadió otros 2.300 millones al botín, y ahora Avatar: Fuego y Ceniza, que en su fin de semana de estreno ya ha superado los 345 millones globales, llevando el total de la franquicia por encima de los 5.200 millones. Es como si Cameron hubiera encontrado la fórmula alquímica para transformar píxeles en oro puro –o, mejor dicho, en unobtanium, ese mineral ficticio que tanto codician los humanos en la historia.Avatar ha secuestrado la vida de Cameron como un parásito simbiótico: ha pasado décadas planeando, filmando simultáneamente secuelas en Nueva Zelanda con presupuestos que rondan los 250-400 millones cada una, y ya tiene esbozados hasta Avatar 5 para 2031. Es casi cómico imaginarlo: un director que podría retirarse en una isla privada, pero en cambio elige sumergirse –literalmente, con innovaciones en filmación subacuática– en este proyecto eterno. ¿Obsesión o genialidad? Probablemente ambas, con un toque de megalomanía hollywoodense.Pero, queridos cinéfilos, aquí viene el giro intrigante que nos hace reflexionar con un sorbo de café filosófico –o, mejor, de una infusión de hierbas pandorianas. A pesar de este éxito taquillero apabullante, que genera billones cada vez que una nueva entrega aterriza en salas, ¿han dejado las películas de Avatar algún impacto cultural más allá de lo visual? Claro, son espectáculos oculares inolvidables, con esa paleta de azules neón y criaturas voladoras que nos hacen soñar con utopías ecológicas. Pero parecen ser de esas sagas que solo se discuten en el furor del estreno, para luego desvanecerse como un eco en la selva. Hoy, en este episodio, no solo queremos charlar sobre su mérito artístico –esa narrativa de colonialismo y armonía con la naturaleza que, admitámoslo, roza el cliché pero con un barniz poético–, sino plantearnos la gran pregunta: ¿por qué son tan exitosas a nivel comercial, pero nadie se acuerda del nombre de sus personajes? ¿Jake Sully? ¿Neytiri? ¿O ese villano con el corte militar que parece sacado de un videojuego ochentero? Es un enigma delicioso, como un blockbuster que gana fortunas pero no corazones duraderos.¿Será la falta de carisma en los guiones, o simplemente que su verdadera magia radica en la pantalla grande, no en el zeitgeist colectivo? Acompáñennos mientras desentrañamos este misterio, con un ojo en la taquilla y otro en la cultura.Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbas⁠Correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.com No olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia. ¡Que lo disfruten!#Avatar ⁠#JamesCameron⁠ ⁠#Cine⁠ ⁠#Pandora

Steve Rogers was given what felt like a perfect ending in Avengers: Endgame. He returned the Infinity Stones. He stayed behind. He chose Peggy. He finally went home. But the MCU doesn't live in a world of perfect endings anymore — it lives in a world of consequences. With rumors swirling about Chris Evans returning in Avengers: Doomsday, this episode explores why Steve's return only works if it means something. Through the lens of the Multiverse, incursions, and Victor Von Doom, we unpack a darker possibility: that Steve's final act of love may have helped fracture reality itself. What if Doom's world was destroyed by the fallout of Endgame? What if Tony Stark's face becomes the ultimate weapon against Steve Rogers? And what if Steve isn't returning to save the day — but to answer for it? This isn't about undoing Steve's legacy.It's about completing it.

Disney'sZootopia 2 has been a huge success in the Chinese mainland, raking in more than 3.8 billion yuan ($539.69 million) at thebox office as of Sunday afternoon, making it the second-highest-grossing Hollywood film of all time in the mainland market—only beaten to the top spot by Avengers: Endgame. The movie's cumulative box office receipts in the Chinese mainland nearly double those for North America and account for nearly half its worldwide total, underscoring China's role as a major player in the global cinema landscape. With a vast and engaged audience base, the potential for growth is immense.迪士尼动画《疯狂动物城2》在中国大陆取得巨大成功，截至上周日下午票房已突破38亿元人民币（约合5.3969亿美元），成为该地区有史以来票房第二高的好莱坞电影——仅次于《复仇者联盟4：终局之战》。该片在大陆地区的累计票房几乎是北美票房的两倍，占全球票房近半数，彰显了中国在全球电影市场中的重要地位。中国凭借庞大且热情的观众群体，其增长潜力巨大。Zootopia 2's appeal to Chinese audiences was enhanced by Disney's engagement initiatives. Shanghai Disneyland's Zootopia-themed area, inspired by the first film, celebrated its second anniversary on Saturday. It is the world's only Zootopia-themed destination.《疯狂动物城2》对中国观众中的吸引力因迪士尼的互动推广活动而增强。全球唯一以动物城为主题的游乐园区上海迪士尼乐园的动物城主题园区——其设计灵感源自首部电影——于上周六迎来两周年庆典。Walt Disney Animation Studio also deliberately included Chinese cultural elements, such as characters representing the Chinese zodiac signs, in thesequel. One of the film's pivotal new characters is Gary De'Snake. Jared Bush, Disney Animation's chief creative officer, emphasized the character was introduced specifically to appeal to the Chinese audience: "We knew this was the Year of the Snake and we wanted the movie to come out the same year for sure." The story of protagonist Judy Hopps leaving her small town and finding success in the big city alsoresonates deeply with Chinese audiences at a time of rapid urbanization.华特迪士尼动画工作室还特意在续集中融入了中国文化元素，例如代表中国生肖的动物角色。影片新增的关键角色之一是名叫盖瑞的蛇。迪士尼动画首席创意官杰拉德·布什强调，这个角色正是为吸引中国观众而设计：“我们知道今年是蛇年，所以坚持要让电影在同一年上映。”主角朱迪·霍普斯离开小镇、在大城市取得成功的故事情节，也深深触动了正经历快速城市化进程的中国观众。Moreover, the adaptation of the film's script to accommodate Chinese cultural nuances and humor ensured that the story and its jokes got through to Mandarin-speaking audiences, which highlights the importance of cultural sensitivity and understanding.此外，电影剧本为适应中国文化特色和幽默风格所做的改编，确保了故事及其笑点能精准传达给普通话观众，这凸显了文化敏感度与理解力的重要性。The Chinese mainland market's irreplaceable contribution to Zootopia 2's global box office success is indicative of a broader trend where Hollywood films increasingly rely on international markets for their financial success. As noted by observers, China's massive consumer base and its openness to both domestic and imported films create a unique environment for cinematic success. The market's capability to nurture high-grossing films challenges the notion that it is turning away from Hollywood films. Instead, quality andcultural resonance continue to be the key factors determining whether films will be a hit or not with Chinese audiences.中国大陆市场对《疯狂动物城2》全球票房取得佳绩有着不可替代的贡献，揭示了好莱坞影片日益依赖国际市场实现商业成功的普遍趋势。正如观察人士所指出的，中国庞大的消费群体以及对国产与进口影片的开放态度，共同构筑了独特的电影成功环境。该市场培育高票房影片的能力，正挑战着“中国市场正疏远好莱坞影片”的论调。事实上，影片质量与文化共鸣度始终是中国观众决定影片成败的核心要素。As Hollywood looks to the future, the importance of understanding and engaging with the Chinese market cannot be overstated. The success of Zootopia 2 may chart the course ahead for future collaborations between Hollywood and Chinese filmmakers. By incorporating culturally relevant elements and engaging in meaningful localization, studios can create films that resonate with Chinese moviegoers, which will not only enhance their box office performance, but also foster cultural exchanges and understanding between the two countries.好莱坞展望未来之际，理解并开拓中国市场的重要性不言而喻。《疯狂动物城2》的成功或将为好莱坞与华语电影人的未来合作指明方向。通过融入文化共鸣元素并开展深度本土化，制片方能打造出深受中国观众喜爱的影片，这不仅能提升票房表现，更能促进两国间的文化交流与相互理解。Indeed, films such as Zootopia 2 can help bridge the emotional andperceptual gaps between the Chinese and American people, especially amid political and trade tensions. They serve as a medium for mutual understanding and appreciation of their different cultures. By showcasing shared values, such as friendship, perseverance and justice, these films highlight common human experiences that transcend national boundaries. Respect and acknowledgement of cultural diversity can also help foster a sense of inclusion and connection, thus reducing stereotypes and misconceptions that often fuel animosity.诚然，诸如《疯狂动物城2》这类影片有助于弥合中美民众在情感认知上的鸿沟，尤其在政治与贸易紧张局势下，它们成为促进彼此理解、欣赏不同文化的媒介。通过展现友谊、坚韧与正义等共同价值观，这些影片突显了超越国界的普世人性体验。尊重并认可文化多样性，还能促进包容感与联结感，从而减少那些常助长敌意的刻板印象与误解。In a world where political narratives often erect barriers between nations, cultural exchanges such as those facilitated by Zootopia 2 offer a powerful counterbalance, promoting understanding and collaboration.在一个政治叙事常在国家间筑起壁垒的世界里，《疯狂动物城2》所促成的文化交流提供了强有力的平衡力量，促进了理解与合作。China has become a critical market for cinematic success. Apart from Zootopia 2, Ne Zha 2, the domestic animated hit from the Spring Festival holiday, was also a global sensation. Its 15.4 billion yuan box office revenue is the highest gross ever for an animated film worldwide. This indicates China's massive consumer base remains capable of lifting films to heights unmatched anywhere else. And this is not only true of movies.中国已成为电影成功的关键市场，除了《疯狂动物城2》，春节档本土动画大片《哪吒之魔童降世》也引发全球轰动。《哪吒之魔童降世》154亿元的票房收入创下全球动画电影最高纪录，这表明中国庞大的消费群体仍能将电影推向无与伦比的高度。而这种现象不仅限于电影领域。Through thoughtful collaboration and cultural exchange, both China and the US can enrich their cinematic landscapes, creating a more interconnected and culturally aware audience.通过深思熟虑的合作与文化交流，中美两国都能丰富各自的电影景观，从而培养出更具联结意识和文化认知力的观众群体。box office票房sequeln./ˈsiː.kwəl/续集cultural resonancen./ˈrez.ən.əns/文化共鸣resonatev./ˈrez.ən.eɪt/使…产生共鸣perceptual gapsadj./pɚˈsep.tʃu.əl/认知鸿沟

Avengers: Endgame heads back to theaters, the Road to Doomsday widens, theme park tectonics start shifting, and Hulk's stair-related temper sets off an unintended butterfly effect across the entire MCU.

This week on The Jock and Nerd Podcast, Netflix officially wins the $82.7 billion bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery, and we break down what this mega-deal means for the industry. We also discuss Scarlett Johansson circling The Batman 2, Marvel re-releasing Avengers: Endgame in 2026, AMC's new Popcorn Pass, a theatrical Stranger Things finale,... The post JAN 618: KPop Demon Hunters (2025) Review – WBD Picks Netflix Over Paramount (12/10/25) appeared first on The Jock and Nerd Podcast.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesThe potential sale of Warner Bros Discovery has been a hot topic in recent weeks, but no one could have predicted the escalation and heightened stakes the bidding war has reached as Paramount CEO David Ellison announced a hostile takeover bid to the tune of $108.4 billion in response to what he described as Netflix's inferior $82.7 billion deal; a deal that seemed like an all but assured thing just days ago. It's been an uncharacteristically long time since James Gunn has given us a headline, but we may still be a day late and dollar short, as on Sunday the DC Studios head released a 10 second first look at Supergirl via social media, with the promise of the teaser trailer later in the week; which many have speculated to mean Thursday… Thanks, James! Also concerning DC: Four years after leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe behind, Scarlett Johansson seems headed for Gotham City, with the actress in final negotiations to join The Batman Part II. Details about Johansson's potential role are being closely guarded, though speculation has already run rampant about which iconic Batman character she might portray, though being a new love interest for Bruce Wayne in some capacity is a popular guess in the wake of unconfirmed reports that Zoe Kravitz might not reprise her role in the sequel.More than seven years after its original theatrical run, Marvel Studios is bringing Avengers: Endgame, the second-highest-grossing film of all time, back to theaters September 25, 2026 just months before Avengers: Doomsday later that December. While it's still unknown how long the Russos Brothers' last MCU contribution will be back to the big screen, the placement between the releases of Spider-Man: Brand New Day in July and Doomsday in December, has fueled industry insider speculation suggesting the new Avengers film will act as a direct sequel to Endgame rather than closely following the events of Phases 4 through 6.HBO has revealed that the third season of Euphoria will begin streaming in April of 2026. This comes more than four years after Season 2 finished in February 2022.Hulu has renewed the Glen Powell led sports comedy series Chad Powers for a second season.20th Century Studios announced The Simpsons Movie 2 has been delayed from July 23, 2027 to September 3, 2027. Paramount and Blumhouse are reviving the Paranormal Activity franchise and bringing on James Wan to produce a new feature film in the franchise according to the Hollywood Reporter. Variety and CNN have revealed the star-studded lineup for the 23rd season of Actors on Actors. Some of the participants include Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Dwayne Johnson, Julia Roberts, and Ariana Grande. Sony Pictures has tapped Bad Boys For Life writer Chris Bremner to pen a new Men In Black film. Although plot details are not public, sources tell Deadline that when the script is complete, original series star Will Smith will be the first to read it in hopes that he will return to the franchise in some capacity. Prime Video has released the first trailer for the final season of The Boys. The show has an updated release date of April 8, 2026, which will see the release of two episodes. Episodes will then drop weekly, leading to the series finale on May 20th. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 opened to $109 million dollars worldwide over the weekend, a strong opening for the franchise. Additionally, last weekend's champion Zootopia 2 is nearing the one billion dollar mark with  $915 million dollars worldwide so far. Sigourney Weaver is in talks to join the upcoming Tomb Raider series for Prime Video. Sophie Turner is set to star as Lara Croft, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge on as writer and executive producer.

10 Years and 500 Peaks and Valleys of Pop Culture This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl celebrate the Infamous Podcast’s most Infamous Milestone yet… 500 Episodes. Here, they will discuss how the pop culture landscape has changed since July 2015. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Nostalgia: 5:00 The Rise and Fall of Pop Culture Five hundred episodes in, Brian and Darryl have seen some things. Chief among them: the slow realization that Hollywood learned absolutely the wrong lessons from its biggest successes. Take Marvel. Once upon a time, this was the gold standard. The MCU built toward Avengers: Endgame like it mattered, because it did. When nostalgia showed up, it was earned. Even the contentious stuff, like Captain Marvel or the very “look around, ladies” A-Force moment, happened inside a franchise people still trusted. Then the Disney+ floodgates opened. Too many shows, too little focus, and suddenly big ideas like Doomsday didn't feel epic. They felt panicked. The machine kept pumping content, but the soul quietly clocked out. Spider-Man: No Way Home briefly reminded everyone how this is supposed to work. Nostalgia wasn't the point. Story was. Seeing multiple Spider-Men together actually meant something, and for a minute, Marvel felt dangerous again. Then everyone immediately tried to copy the trick without understanding why it worked. Star Wars didn't even get that far. Somehow, with the original cast alive and willing, the sequel trilogy never once put Luke, Leia, and Han on screen together. Not once. It's arguably the biggest fumble in modern blockbuster history. Nostalgia wasn't used to unite fans. It was used like window dressing, leaving audiences staring at the screen thinking, “How did you miss that?” Indiana Jones followed the same road into the ditch. Instead of honoring what Indy stood for, the franchise tried to modernize the wrong things, misunderstand its own appeal, and slowly sand down the character until nothing recognizable was left. The so-called “Phoebe Waller effect” isn't about one person. It's about Hollywood confusing quippy cynicism and tonal shifts with actual evolution and then acting shocked when audiences check out. And that's the real takeaway here. Nostalgia can't save a floundering global box office. Audiences aren't idiots. They know when they're being sold a memory instead of a story. Recognition has replaced risk, and comfort IP has replaced creativity. The result is a lot of familiar logos and a shocking lack of excitement. And then there's Dexter, quietly walking into the room and embarrassing half of Hollywood. Instead of screaming “remember this?” every five minutes, Dexter did something radical. It changed the setting, brought in new characters, raised the stakes, and kept the core of the character intact. Same morally broken serial killer, new problems. No endless callbacks. No cosplay storytelling. Just character, consequence, and actual intent. Which is wild, because Dexter figured out the thing billion-dollar franchises still can't. If the only thing your revival has is memories, you don't have a revival. You have a reunion tour. Dexter wasn't trying to recreate Miami or trick audiences into nostalgia dopamine. It trusted that people missed the character, not the wallpaper. So while Marvel is throwing multiverses at the wall, Star Wars forgot to put its Trinity in the same room, Indiana Jones got power-washed into irrelevance, and DC is still arguing with itself, Dexter just showed up, changed the scenery, and reminded everyone how this is actually done. Same Dexter. New playground. No panic. No apology tour. Five hundred episodes later, Brian and Darryl aren't mad that pop culture changed. They're annoyed that it changed this lazily. Because if there's one thing a decade of podcasting proves, it's this: people don't stop loving franchises. Franchises stop loving their audiences. And yeah… we're still talking about it.

The guys are back to discuss the ongoing chaos of the Warner Bros./Paramount/Netflix legal battle and what the resulting deal could mean for the rest of us (in other words the rich people are doing rich people things that will probably only hurt the rest of us and result in a ton of job losses and prices increases... yay).

Zootopia 2 (called Zootropolis 2 in some European countries), a hotly anticipated and widely marketed sequel to 2016's Zootopia, was released in China last week. In its first seven days, it made about 2bn yuan (£213m) in ticket sales, making it one of the best-performing films of the year. On its fourth day of release, it broke the single-day earnings record for an imported film, surpassing the previous record-holder, Avengers: Endgame.知识点：buck the trend v. /bʌk ðə trend/ to go against the general trend or pattern. 逆势而行；与普遍趋势相反e.g. Despite the economic downturn, their company managed to buck the trend by increasing profits.尽管经济下滑，他们的公司通过增加利润逆势而行。获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！【节目介绍】《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。【适合谁听】1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等）【你将获得】1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy abordamos las crecientes especulaciones que señalan que Disney estaría preparando un plan de sucesión para comienzos del próximo año, con el objetivo de encontrar relevo para su director ejecutivo, Bob Iger. Su contrato concluye a finales del año que viene y, según diversas fuentes, la compañía desea que el futuro líder pueda trabajar codo con codo con él durante todo el ejercicio, lo que permitiría una transición ordenada y sin sobresaltos. Por ahora, la directiva de la empresa se muestra confiada respecto a su situación de cara a 2026, algo que el propio Iger reforzó durante la presentación de resultados del cuarto trimestre, donde destacó el buen rendimiento de los estrenos cinematográficos que Disney lanzó durante el verano. Con la salida de Iger se pondría fin a dos décadas al frente de la corporación, un periodo en el que las grandes compras estratégicas han impulsado el crecimiento de la compañía. Apenas un año después de asumir el mando, el ejecutivo firmó la adquisición de Pixar por 7.400 millones de dólares, integrando al estudio que desde finales de los noventa había competido fuertemente con Disney gracias a éxitos como Buscando a Nemo, Toy Story o Monstruos S.A.. Lejos de detenerse, en 2009 llegó otra operación decisiva: la compra de Marvel por 4.000 millones, una apuesta que ampliaba enormemente el universo creativo del grupo. Bajo ese paraguas nació el Universo Cinematográfico de Marvel, responsable de cinco de las diez películas más vistas de la historia. La más taquillera, Avengers: Endgame, superó los 2.800 millones de dólares recaudados, confirmando que la compra de Marvel fue uno de los movimientos más rentables de la compañía. A esta incorporación se sumó la de Lucasfilm, propietaria de Star Wars, que permitió desarrollar nuevas producciones tanto en cine como en plataformas digitales, reforzando la oferta global de contenido. Ahora, con la organización avanzando hacia una nueva etapa, todo apunta a que el sucesor de Iger podría surgir del propio equipo interno. Entre los nombres que más resuenan figura Josh D'Amaro, responsable de Parques Disney, cuyas operaciones han crecido un 13%, y Dana Walden, encargada de Disney Entertainment, área en la que los servicios de streaming incrementaron ingresos un 39% pese a la intensa competencia. La gran incógnita es quién asumirá el desafío de ocupar el puesto que deja Bob Iger.

In this week's episode, I rate the movies and streaming shows I saw in Autumn 2025. This coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in The Ghosts series at my Payhip store: GHOSTS2025 The coupon code is valid through December 1, 2025. So if you need a new ebook this fall, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 278 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is November 21st, 2025, and today I am sharing my reviews of the movies and streaming shows I saw in Fall 2025. We also have a Coupon of the Week and an update my current writing, audiobook, and publishing projects. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off all the ebooks in The Ghosts series at my Payhip store, and that is GHOSTS2025. And as always, we'll have the link to my Payhip store and the coupon code in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code is valid through December 1, 2025, so if you need a new ebook for this fall, we have got you covered. Now for my current writing and publishing projects: I'm very pleased to report that Blade of Shadows, the second book in my Blades of Ruin epic fantasy series, is now out. You can get it at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Smashwords, and my Payhip store. By the time this episode goes live, all those stores should be available and you can get the book at any one of them and I hope you will read and enjoy it. I'm also 15,000 words into what will be my next main project Wizard-Assassin, the fifth book in the Half-Elven Thief series, and if all goes well, I want that to be out before Christmas. I'm also working on the outline for what will be the third book in the Blades of Ruin series, Blade of Storms, and that will hopefully, if all goes well, be the first book I publish in 2026. In audiobook news, as I mentioned last week, the audiobook of Blade of Flames is done and I believe as of this recording, you can get at my Payhip store, Google Play, Kobo, and I think Spotify. It's not up on Audible or Apple yet, but that should be soon, if all goes well. That is excellently narrated by Brad Wills. Hollis McCarthy is still working on Cloak of Embers. I believe main recording is done for that and it just has to be edited and proofed, so hopefully we'll get both audiobooks to you before the end of the year. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. 00:02:08 Main Topic of the Week: Autumn 2025 Movie Review Roundup Now on to this week's main project, the Autumn 2025 Movie Review Roundup. I watched a lot of classic horror movies this time around. The old Universal black and white monster movies from the '30s and '40s turned up on Prime for Halloween and I hadn't seen them since I was a kid, so I watched a bunch of them in October and November, which seemed an appropriate thing to do for Halloween. They mostly held up as well as I remembered from when I was a kid, which was a nice surprise. As ever, the grades I give these movies are totally subjective and based on nothing more than my own opinions and thoughts. With that, let's take a look at the movies from least favorite to most favorite. First up is The Other Guys, which came out in 2010 and this is a parody of the buddy cop/ cowboy cop movie along with a heavy critique of the reckless and corrupt culture of late 2000s Wall Street. "Dumb funny" movies I've noticed tend to fall on either side of the "dumb but actually funny" or "dumb and not funny" line. And this one definitely landed on "dumb but actually funny". Danson and Highsmith, played by The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson, are two maverick popular detectives who never do paperwork. Their paperwork is always done by Allen Gamble, who's played by Will Ferrell and Terry Hoitz, played by Mark Wahlberg. Gamble is a mild-mannered forensic accountant, while Hoitz desperately wants to be as cool as either Danson or Highsmith, but since he accidentally shot Yankees player Derek Jeter (in a recurring gag), he's a pariah within the New York Police Department. However, Danon and Highsmith's plot armor suddenly run out and they accidentally kill themselves in a darkly hilarious scene that made me laugh so much I hurt a little. Hoitz wants to step into their shoes, but Gamble has stumbled onto potentially dangerous case and soon Hoitz and Gamble have to overcome their difficulties and unravel a complicated financial crime. This was pretty funny and I enjoyed it. Amusingly in real life, someone like Gamble would be massively respected in whatever law enforcement agency he works for, since someone who prepares ironclad paperwork and correct documentation that stands up in court is an invaluable asset in law enforcement work. Overall Grade: B Next up is Fantastic Four: First Steps, which came out in 2025. I like this though, to be honest, I liked Thunderbolts and Superman 2025 better. I think my difficulty is I never really understood The Fantastic Four as a concept and why they're appealing. Maybe the Fantastic Four are one of those things you just have to imprint on when you're a kid to really enjoy or maybe at my age, the sort of retro futurism of the Four, the idea that science, technology, and rational thought will solve all our problems does seem a bit naive after the last 65 years of history or so. Additionally, the idea of a naked silver space alien riding a surfboard does seem kind of ridiculous. Anyway, the movie glides over the origin story of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm and gets right into it. To their surprise, Reed and Sue find out that Sue is pregnant, which seemed unlikely due to their superpower induced genetic mutations. Shortly after that, the Silver Surfer arrives and announces that Earth will be devoured by Galactus. The Four travel in their spaceship to confront Galactus and realize that he's a foe far beyond their power, but Galactus offers them a bargain. If Reed and Sue give him their son, he will leave Earth in peace. They refuse and so it's up to the Four to figure out a way to save Earth and Reed and Sue's son. Pretty solid superhero movie all told, but it is amusing how in every version of the character, Reed Richards is allegedly the smartest man on Earth but still can't keep his mouth shut to save his life. Overall Grade: B The next movie is Superman, which came out in 1978. After seeing the 2025 version of Superman, I decided to watch the old one from the '70s. It's kind of a classic because it was one of the progenitors of the modern superhero film. Interestingly, it was one of the most expensive films ever made at that time, costing about $55 million in '70s-era dollars, which are much less inflated than today. A rough back of the envelope calculation would put 55 million in the '70s worth at about $272 million today, give or take. Anyway, this was a big gamble, but it paid off for the producers since they got $300 million back, which would be like around $1.4 billion in 2025 money. Anyway, the movie tells the origin story of Superman, how his father Jor-El knows that Krypton is doomed, so he sends Kal-El to Earth. Kal-El is raised as Clark Kent by his adoptive Kansas parents and uses his powers to become Superman- defender of truth, justice, and the American way. Superman must balance his growing feelings for ace reporter Lois Lane with his need for a secret identity and the necessity of stopping Lex Luthor's dangerous schemes. Christopher Reeve was an excellent Superman and the special effects were impressive by the standards of 1978, but I think the weakest part of the movie were the villains. Lex Luthor just seemed comedic and not at all that threatening. Unexpected fun fact: Mario Puzio, author of The Godfather, wrote the screenplay. Overall Grade: B Next up is Superman II, which came out in 1980. This is a direct sequel to the previous movie. When Superman stops terrorists from detonating a nuclear bomb by throwing it into space, the blast releases the evil Kryptonian General Zod and his minions from their prison and they decide to conquer Earth. Meanwhile, Superman is falling deeper in love with the Lois Lane and unknowing of the threat from Zod, decides to renounce his powers to live with Lois as an ordinary man. I think this had the same strengths and weaknesses as the first movie. Christopher Reeve was an excellent Superman. The special effects were impressive by the standards of the 1980s, but the villains remained kind of comedic goofballs. Additionally, and while this will sound harsh, this version of Lois Lane was kind of dumb and her main function in the plot was to generate problems for Superman via her questionable decisions. Like at the end, Superman has to wipe her memory because she can't keep his secret identity to herself. If this version of Lois Lane lived today, she'd be oversharing everything she ever thought or heard on TikTok. The 2025 movie version of Lois, by contrast, bullies Mr. Terrific into lending her his flying saucer so she can rescue Superman when he's in trouble and is instrumental in destroying Lex Luthor's public image and triggering his downfall. 1970s Louis would've just had a meltdown and made things worse until Superman could get around to rescuing her. Overall, I would say the 1978 movie was too goofy, the Zac Snyder Superman movies were too grimdark, but the 2025 Superman hit the right balance between goofy and serious. Overall Grade: B Next up is Dracula, which came out in 1931, and this was one of the earliest horror movies ever made and also one of the earliest movies ever produced with sound. It is a very compressed adaptation of the stage version of Dracula. Imagine the theatrical stage version of Dracula, but then imagine that the movie was only 70 minutes long, so you have to cut a lot to fit the story into those 70 minutes. So if you haven't read the book, Dracula the movie from 1931 will not make a lot of sense. It's almost like the "Cliff's Notes Fast Run" version of Dracula. That said, Bela Lugosi's famous performance as Dracula really carries the movie. Like Boris Karloff in Frankenstein and The Mummy (which we'll talk about shortly), Bela Lugosi really captures the uncanny valley aspect of Dracula because the count isn't human anymore and has all these little tics of a creature that isn't human but only pretending to be one. Edward Van Sloan's performance as Dr. Van Helsing is likewise good and helped define the character in the public eye. So worth watching as a historical artifact, but I think some of the other Universal monster movies (which we'll discuss shortly) are much stronger. Overall Grade: B Next up is The Horror of Dracula, which came out in 1958. This is one of the first of the Hammer Horror movies from the '50s, starring Peter Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing and Christopher Lee as Count Dracula. It's also apparently the first vampire movie ever made in color. Like the 1931 version of Dracula, it's a condensed version of the story, though frankly, I think it hangs together a little better. Van Helsing is a bit more of an action hero in this one, since in the end he engages Dracula in fisticuffs. The movie is essentially carried by the charisma of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee and worth watching as a good example of a classic '50s horror movie. Overall Grade: B Next up is The Wolf Man, which came out in 1941. This is another one of the classic Universal horror movies. This one features Lon Cheney Jr. as Larry Talbot, the younger son of Sir John Talbot. Larry's older brother died in a hunting accident, so Larry comes home to reconcile with his father and take up his duties as the family heir. Larry is kind of an amiable Average Joe and is immediately smitten with the prettiest girl in the village, but when he takes her out for a walk, they're attacked by a werewolf, who bites Larry. Larry and everyone else in the village do not believe in werewolves, but they're about to have their minds changed the hard way. The transformation sequences where Larry turns into the Wolfman were cutting edge of the time, though poor Lon Chaney Jr had to stay motionless for hours as they gradually glued yak hair to him. I think Claude Rains had the best performance in the movie as Sir John and he's almost the co-protagonist. Overall Grade: B Next up is Jurassic World: Rebirth, which came out in 2025, which I thought was a perfectly straightforward but nonetheless enjoyable adventure film. After all the many disasters caused by various genetic engineering experiments in the previous movies, dinosaurs mostly live in relatively compatible ecosystems and tropical zones near the equator. No one's looking to create a theme park with dinosaurs or create bioengineered dinosaurs as military assets any longer. However, the dinosaurs are still valuable for research and a pharmaceutical company is developing a revolutionary drug for treating cardiac disease. They just need some dinosaur blood from three of the largest species to finish it, and so the company hires a team of mercenaries to retrieve the blood. We have the usual Jurassic Park style story tropes: the savvy mercenary leader, the scientist protesting the ethics of it all, the sinister corporate executive, the troubled family getting sucked into the chaos. And of course, it all goes wrong and there are lots and lots of dinosaurs running around. It's all been done before of course, but this was done well and was entertaining. Overall Grade: B+ Next up is The Thursday Murder Club, which came out in 2025, and this is a cozy mystery set in a very high-end retirement home. Retired nurse Joyce moves into Coopers Chase, the aforementioned high end retirement home. Looking to make new friends, she falls in with a former MI6 agent named Liz, a retired trade unionist named Ron, and psychiatrist Ibrahim, who have what they call The Thursday Murder Club, where they look into cold cases and attempt to solve them. However, things are not all sunshine and light at Coopers Chase as the two owners of the building have fallen out. When one of them is murdered, The Thursday Murder Club has to solve a real murder before Coopers Chase is bulldozed to make high-end apartments. A good cozy mystery with high caliber acting talent. Both Pierce Brosnan and Jonathan Price are in the movie and regrettably do not share a scene together, because that would've been hilarious since they were both in the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies in the '90s with Brosnan as Bond and Price as the Bond villain for the movie. Overall Grade: B+ Next up is The Creature From the Black Lagoon, which came out in 1954 and is one of the last of the black and white classic horror movies since in the '50s, color film was just around the corner. When a scientist finds the unusual half fish, half human fossil on a riverbank in Brazil, he decides to organize an expedition upriver to see if he can find the rest of the fossil. The trail leads his expedition to the mysterious Black Lagoon, which all the locals avoid because of its bad reputation, but a living member of the species that produce the fossils lurking the lagoon while it normally doesn't welcome visitors, it does like the one female member of the expedition and decides to claim her for its own. The creature was good monster and the underwater water sequences were impressive by the standards of the 1950s. Overall Grade: A- Next up is The Invisible Man, which came out in 1933, and this is another of the classic Universal black and white horror movies. Jack Griffin is a scientist who discovered a chemical formula for invisibility. Unfortunately, one of the drugs in his formula causes homicidal insanity, so he becomes a megalomaniac who wants to use his invisibility to rule the world. This causes Griffin to overlook the numerous weaknesses of his invisibility, which allow the police to hunt him down. The Invisible Man's special effects were state of the art at the time and definitely hold up nearly a hundred years later. It's worth watching as another classic of the genre. Claude Rains plays Griffin, and as with The Wolf Man, his performance as Griffin descends into homicidal insanity is one of the strengths of the movie. Overall Grade: A- Next up is The Mummy, which came out in 1932, and this is another of the original Universal black and white horror movies. Boris Karloff plays the Mummy, who is the ancient Egyptian priest Imhotep, who was mummified alive for the crime of desiring the Pharaoh's daughter Ankh-es-en-Amon. After 3,000 years, Imhotep is accidentally brought back to life when an archeologist reads a magical spell and Imhotep sets out immediately to find the reincarnation of his beloved and transform her into a mummy as well so they can live together forever as undead. Edward Van Sloan plays Dr. Mueller, who is basically Edward Van Sloan's Van Helsing from Dracula if Van Helsing specialized in mummy hunting rather than vampire hunting. This version of the Mummy acts more like a Dungeons and Dragons lich instead of the now classic image of a shambling mummy in dragging bandages. That said, Boris Karloff is an excellent physical actor. As he does with Frankenstein, he brings Imhotep to life. His performance captures the essence of a creature that hasn't been human for a very long time, is trying to pretend to be human, and isn't quite getting there. Of course, the plot was reused for the 1999 version of The Mummy with Brendan Fraser. That was excellent and this is as well. Overall Grade: A- Next up is The Wedding Singer, which came out in 1998, and this is basically the Adam Sandler version of a Hallmark movie. Adam Sandler plays Robbie, a formerly famous musician whose career has lapsed and has become a wedding singer and a venue singer. He befriends the new waitress Julia at the venue, played by Drew Barrymore. The day after that, Robbie's abandoned at the altar by his fiancée, which is understandably devastating. Meanwhile, Julia's fiancé Glenn proposes to her and Robbie agrees to help her with the wedding planning since he's an expert in the area and knows all the local vendors. However, in the process, Robbie and Julia fall in love, but are in denial about the fact, a situation made more tense when Robbie realizes Glenn is cheating on Julia and intends to continue to do so after the wedding. So it's basically a Hallmark movie filtered through the comedic sensibilities of Adam Sandler. It was very funny and Steve Buscemi always does great side characters in Adam Sandler movies. Overall Grade: A Next up is Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, which came out in 2025. This movie was sort of a self-indulgent victory lap, but it was earned. The writers of the sitcom Community used to joke that they wanted "six seasons and a movie" and Downton Abbey got "six seasons and three movies". Anyway, this movie is about handing off things to the next generation. Lord Grantham is reluctant to fully retire as his daughter goes through a scandal related to her divorce. The next generation of servants take over as the previous ones ease into retirement. What's interesting is both the nobles and the servants are fully aware that they're sort of LARPing a historical relic by this point because by 1930, grand country houses like Downton were increasingly rare in the UK since World War I wiped out most of them and crippling post-war taxes and economic disruption finished off many more. Anyway, if you like Downton Abbey, you like this movie. Overall Grade: A Next up is Argo, which came out in 2012, a very tense thriller about the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979. During that particular crisis, six Americans escaped the embassy and hid out at the Canadian Ambassador's house in Tehran. For obvious reasons, the Canadian ambassador wanted them out as quickly as possible, so the CIA and the State Department needed to cook up a plan to get the six out while the rest of the government tried to figure out what to do about the larger group of hostages. Finally, the government comes with "Argo." A CIA operative will create a fake film crew, a fake film company, and smuggle the six out of Tehran as part of the production. The movie was very tense and very well constructed, even if you know the outcome in advance if you know a little bit of history. Ben Affleck directed and starred, and this was in my opinion one of his best performances. It did take some liberties with historical accuracy, but nonetheless, a very tense political thriller/heist movie with some moments of very dark comedy. Overall Grade: A Next up is The Naked Gun, which came out in 2025, and this is a pitch perfect parody of the gritty cop movie with a lot of absurdist humor, which works well because Liam Neeson brings his grim action persona to the movie and it works really well with the comedy. Neeson plays Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr., the son of the original Frank Drebin from The Naked Gun movies back in the '80s. After stopping a bank robbery, Drebin finds himself investigating the suicide of an engineer for the sinister tech mogul Richard Cane. Naturally, the suicide isn't what it appears and when the engineer's mysterious but seductive sister asks for Drebin's help, he pushes deeper into the case. Richard Cane was a hilarious villain because the writers couldn't decide which tech billionaire to parody with him, so they kind of parodied all the tech billionaires at once, and I kid you not, the original Frank Drebin makes an appearance as a magical owl. It was hilarious. Overall Grade: A Now for my two favorite things I saw in Autumn 2025. The first is the combination of Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, which came out in 1931 and 1935. These are two separate movies, but Frankenstein leads directly to Bride of Frankenstein, so I'm going to treat them as one movie. Honestly, I think they're two halves of the same story the way that Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame would be two halves of the same story 90 years later, so I'll review them as one. Frankenstein by itself on its own will get a B. Colin Clive's performance is Dr. Henry Frankenstein was great, and Boris Karloff gives the Creature a suitable air of menace and uncanny valley. You really feel like he's something that's been brought to life but isn't quite right and still extremely dangerous. The movie does have a very pat ending that implies everyone will live happily ever after, with Dr. Frankenstein's father giving a toast to his son. But Bride of Frankenstein takes everything from the first movie and improves on it. It's one of those sequels that actually makes the preceding movie better. In Bride, Henry is recovering from his ordeal and swears off his experiments of trying to create artificial humans, but the Creature survived the fire at the windmill at the end of the last movie and is seeking for a new purpose. Meanwhile, Henry receives a visit from his previous mentor, the sinister Dr. Pretorius. Like Henry, Pretorius succeeded in creating artificial life and now he wants to work with Henry to perfect their work, but Henry refuses, horrified by the consequences of his previous experiments. Pretorius, undaunted, makes an alliance with the Creature, who then kidnaps Henry's wife. This will let Pretorius force Henry to work on their ultimate work together-a bride for the Creature. Bride of Frankenstein is a lot tighter than Frankenstein. It was surprising to see how rapidly filmmaking techniques evolved over just four years. Pretorius is an excellent villain, more evil wizard than mad scientist, and the scene where he calmly and effortlessly persuades the Creature to his side was excellent. One amusing note, Bride was framed as Mary Shelley telling the second half of the story to her friends, and then the actress playing Mary Shelley, Elsa Lancaster, also played the Bride. So that was a funny bit of meta humor. Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein combined is one of my two favorite movies of Fall 2025. Overall Grade: A+ And now for my second favorite movie of Autumn 2025, which as it turns out is also Frankenstein, but Guillermo del Toro's version that came out in 2025. And honestly, I think Guillermo del Toro's version of Frankenstein is the best version put to screen so far and even does the rarest of all feats, it improves a little on the original novel. Oscar Isaac plays Victor Frankenstein as a brilliant, driven scientist with something of a sociopathic edge. In other words, he's a man who's utterly inadequate to the task when his experiment succeeds and he actually creates an artificial human that have assembled dead body parts. Jacob Elordi does a good job as the Creature, playing him is essentially a good hearted man who's driven to violence and despair by the cruelty and rejection of the world. The recurring question of the Frankenstein mythos is whether or not Victor Frankenstein is the real monster. In this version, he definitely is, though he gets a chance to repent of his evil by the end. Honestly, everything about this was good. The performances, the cinematography, everything. How good was it? It was so good that I will waive my usual one grade penalty for unnecessary nudity since there were a few brief scenes of it. Overall Grade: A+ So that was the Autumn 2025 Movie Roundup. A lot of good movies this time around. While some movies of course were better than others, I didn't see anything I actively disliked, which is always nice. So that's it for this week. Thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show.

Marvel Studios and many of its numerous characters are household names around the world. Their superhero-powered movies earn hundreds of millions and sometimes billions of dollars at the box office, including the #2 top grossing movie of all time – Avengers: Endgame. They're also arguably one of the top turnaround stories of the past 20 years, as they rose like a phoenix from the ashes of bankruptcy to ultimately sell to Disney for $4.5 billion. In today's Redefiners episode, Simon and Marla suit up to talk with Peter Cuneo, former CEO of Marvel Entertainment and the leader who led the turnaround of this storied company, along with several other global brands. Peter shares his story of how he got into the business of turnarounds and why he's attracted to risk as a leader. He takes us through how he conquers the common challenge of getting the leadership and culture right at the companies he's led. And he shares some of the 28 leadership tips he's compiled over the course of his storied career into a list he fittingly calls Essentials for Superhero Leadership (which you can also find in podcast form at Superhero Leadership). We'll also hear from Hetty Pye, a leadership advisor in our London office, who will discuss why transformation efforts fail and what senior leaders can do about it. Four things you'll learn from this episode: What are the first things to focus on in a turnaround and how to get your people and board aligned How to make an organization's culture more productive, creative, and effective What to look out for in a shift from CEO to Board role What are the top leadership essentials of Superhero Leadership If you enjoyed this episode, you might also like these Redefiners episodes: Leading with a North Star: Former Decathlon CEO Barbara Martin Coppola's Blueprint for Bold Change Leadership Lounge: Boardroom Bound: How to Navigate Your Journey from Executive to Board Director Music with a Mission: Former MTV International Chairman and CEO Bill Roedy on Leading with Purpose Leadership Lounge: From Firefighting to Future-Building: How Leaders Can Master Perpetual Transformation Digging Deep: Leadership, Growth & Risk with BHP CEO Mike Henry Leadership Lounge: Leadership Under Fire: How Mentorship Can Help C-suites Turn Headwinds Into Opportunity

"Is that Zach Galifianakis in the river meme… or was it Robert Redford all along?"In this heartfelt and hilariously offbeat episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray pay tribute to the legendary Robert Redford, who passed away at the age of 89. But in true Ben & Skin fashion, the tribute quickly turns into a whirlwind of movie memories, meme confusion, and raw cauliflower revelations.From Redford's iconic role as Roy Hobbs in The Natural to his unexpected cameo in Avengers: Endgame, the crew reflects on the actor's legacy, his sex-symbol status, and the time he unknowingly became one of the internet's most beloved memes. Ben's vivid retelling of Redford eating raw cauliflower and drinking a beer out of the fridge sparks one of the funniest moments of the episode: “Maybe that's how you look like that. Maybe you have to eat raw cauliflower and you look like Robert Redford.”

In this special edition of Born to Watch, the team dives back into the deep blue to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's iconic 1975 thriller, Jaws. But this isn't just a rewatch, it's a cinematic pilgrimage. Hosts Whitey and Dan welcome special guest Paul Glasby to revisit the film not just in spirit, but in spectacle, attending a screening at Hoyts Tweed City, experiencing this Jaws 50th Anniversary Review on the big screen with recliners, giant Pepsi Maxes, and a crew of unsuspecting newcomers.This episode is more than just a review; it's a tribute. For Whitey, who's marking his own 50th birthday, Jaws isn't just a classic; it's a defining piece of his movie-loving DNA, neck-and-neck with Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back as his all-time favourite. The team reminisces about the first time they saw the film, how it scarred them from surfing, and the strange magic that Jaws still holds over an audience, even half a century later.Dan, making his debut on a Jaws episode, brings the perspective of a cinema recluse, someone more used to fields and chickens than Dolby sound and John Williams scores. But even he's swept up by the grandeur of the theatrical experience. Paul, a returning guest and self-proclaimed booster-seat podcaster, shares a British kid's perspective on Jaws' TV legacy, recalling its 3D TV gimmicks and how the film once ruled Saturday night telly. But seeing it on the big screen? That's another beast entirely.Throughout the episode, the guys reflect on Spielberg's breakout masterpiece, how a 27-year-old director, working with malfunctioning mechanical sharks and intense studio pressure, managed to craft a film that changed cinema forever. There's plenty of love for the gritty film stock, practical effects, and Spielberg's decision to show less rather than more. The now-famous story about the shark not working—leading to a suspenseful masterclass in implication over gore—gets its well-deserved praise.They also unpack the movie's unforgettable score, with Paul comparing John Williams' two-note theme to the Rocky IV training montage, so iconic that it shapes the entire experience. For Dan, the real terror lies in the opening scene, all shadows and suggestion. For Whitey, it's the rich character work, Quint's haunted Indianapolis speech, Hooper's dry wit, and Brody's quiet resolve that keep the film swimming in the top tier of cinema history.The episode isn't just nostalgia-heavy; it's a call to arms. Why don't we watch classic films in the cinema more often? Why isn't there a chain of retro movie houses showing Jaws, Alien, The Exorcist, and Boogie Nights on the regular? Dan offers a deeper look into the decline of cinema attendance, post-COVID challenges, and how theatres now survive on mega-drinks and bar-style concessions. But the gang also sees an opportunity: could Born to Watch host monthly screenings of classics? Would audiences come?There's also plenty of fun tangents, dodgy car park stories, oversized soft drinks, generational lines drawn by Paddington in Peru, and roasting fellow podcasters for their Marvel movie hot takes. Expect talk of Spielberg's filmography, the state of modern blockbusters, and whether Top Gun: Maverick or Avengers: Endgame can hold a candle to the cultural typhoon that Jaws was in 1975.In true Born to Watch style, the episode blends deep cinematic appreciation with pub-style banter, bringing in kids' reactions, audience dynamics, and even some surprising praise for Richard Dreyfuss's underrated turn as Hooper. For a film that's been endlessly dissected, this conversation feels fresh, personal, and anchored by genuine love for cinema.Whether you're a longtime fan or a landlocked Gen Z who's never felt the terror of a dorsal fin rising from the surf, this episode is a reminder of why we watch, why we return, and why, 50 years later, Jaws still bites.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs Jaws still the scariest movie ever made—or did the rubber shark finally lose its bite? Should Mayor Vaughn have been eaten first?Would YOU get in the water with Hooper, Brody, and a barrel full of bad ideas?Drop us a voicemail at https://www.borntowatch.com.au and share your Jaws hot takes.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.

Quand on pense à des films à succès, on imagine souvent de superproductions à plusieurs centaines de millions de dollars, des effets spéciaux grandioses et des stars hollywoodiennes. Pourtant, le film le plus rentable de l'histoire du cinéma n'est pas un blockbuster… mais un petit film d'horreur tourné avec presque rien : Paranormal Activity.Sorti en 2007, ce long-métrage a été écrit, réalisé et financé par Oren Peli, un programmeur informatique qui n'avait jamais réalisé de film auparavant. Son budget ? À peine 15 000 dollars, soit moins que le prix d'une voiture neuve. Tourné en une semaine dans la propre maison du réalisateur, avec une caméra amateur et deux acteurs inconnus, le film repose sur une idée simple mais redoutablement efficace : une jeune couple filme les phénomènes paranormaux qui hantent leur maison. Le style “found footage” (caméra retrouvée) donne un réalisme qui accentue la tension… et la peur.Mais le plus impressionnant n'est pas seulement l'histoire du film, c'est ce qu'il a rapporté. Acquis par le studio Paramount, qui en modifie légèrement la fin et le distribue plus largement, Paranormal Activity devient un phénomène mondial. Résultat : le film engrange plus de 193 millions de dollars au box-office mondial, dont 107 millions rien qu'aux États-Unis.Faites le calcul : avec un budget initial de 15 000 dollars, le retour sur investissement est de l'ordre de 640 000 %. À titre de comparaison, des films comme Avatar ou Avengers: Endgame ont généré bien plus d'argent en valeur absolue (plus de 2 milliards de dollars chacun), mais leur budget de production dépasse les 200 à 350 millions de dollars. Aucun n'approche la rentabilité vertigineuse de Paranormal Activity.Le succès du film a donné lieu à plusieurs suites et spin-offs, qui ont rapporté au total plus de 890 millions de dollars dans le monde pour un coût cumulé relativement modeste. Il a aussi lancé une véritable mode du “found footage” dans le cinéma d'horreur, déjà amorcée avec Le Projet Blair Witch en 1999.En résumé, Paranormal Activity prouve qu'un bon concept, une exécution intelligente et un effet de bouche-à-oreille bien orchestré peuvent rivaliser avec les plus gros studios d'Hollywood. C'est l'exemple parfait du film qui a changé les règles du jeu, et qui rappelle qu'au cinéma, ce ne sont pas toujours les plus riches qui gagnent… mais parfois les plus malins. Hébergé par Acast.

Natasha Romanoff. Daughter. Sister. Avenger.Natasha made her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Iron Man 2 as a mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, quickly becoming a core member of the Avengers despite lacking superpowers. The character evolved from a supporting femme fatale into one of the MCU's most complex heroes; a former Russian child assassin grappling with her dark past while seeking redemption through heroic acts, and finally finding a family. Her journey culminated in the ultimate sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame, giving her life to obtain the Soul Stone and save the universe.Marvel had been talking about a solo Black Widow film for years since her 2010 debut, but it had never come to pass. It's not the first time a solo film had been talked about for Natasha Romanoff. Lions Gate held the rights to the character in the early 2000s, but that movie idea was scuppered due to the failure of other female-led action movies. Black Widow's solo film finally arrived in 2021, making it an eleven-year wait from her MCU introduction. The delay was attributed to Marvel's former leadership's reluctance to greenlight female-led superhero films, concerns about their commercial viability, as well as the planned Infinity Saga narrative needing to focus on introducing other characters, like Black Panther and Captain Marvel. Black Widow would give fans a much-needed backstory for Natasha, as well as introduce her sister, Yelena. The importance of both characters extends beyond individual heroism to representation. Natasha proved female characters could carry major action sequences and emotional weight in the MCU, while Yelena's introduction ensures the Black Widow legacy continues, representing a new generation of complex female heroes who can anchor future MCU stories.I would love to hear your thoughts on Black Widow (2021) !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!
