Min 4. TIERRAS PERDIDAS Tierras perdidas es una ambiciosa pero fallida incursión en la fantasía oscura dirigida por Paul W.S. Anderson, basada en un relato de George R.R. Martin. La historia gira en torno a Gray Alys (Milla Jovovich), una hechicera solitaria y temida, contratada por una reina para adentrarse en un mundo hostil y conseguir un poder antiguo capaz de transformar a las personas en hombres lobo. Acompañada por Boyce (Dave Bautista), un mercenario de pasado incierto, Alys recorre un paisaje post apocalíptico poblado por monstruos, guerreros salvajes y dilemas morales sobre el precio del deseo. Una mezcla desigual que ha destapado la ira de Alberto LÑuchini que, después de mucho tiempo, desempolva la nota más baja de nuestro filtro. NOTA EDC: 0 (BOLA NEGRA) Min 13: UNA QUINTA PORTUGUESA Una quinta portuguesa, dirigida por Avelina Prat, se adentra en los recovecos de la identidad y la búsqueda de redención. Tras su aclamada ópera prima "Vasil", Prat presenta una historia que combina drama y misterio, explorando las complejidades del alma humana. Fernando (Manolo Solo), un profesor de geografía devastado por la desaparición de su esposa, decide abandonar su vida anterior y asumir la identidad de otro hombre para trabajar como jardinero en una quinta en el norte de Portugal. Allí, entabla una relación con Amalia (Maria de Medeiros), la enigmática propietaria de la finca, y con Rita (Rita Cabaço), la encargada de las tareas domésticas. NOTA EDC: 3,5 estrellas MIn 19: ENEMIGOS Dirigida por David Valero, Enemigos es un drama urbano que aborda la violencia juvenil y las complejidades de las relaciones marcadas por el acoso y la venganza. La historia se centra en Chimo (Christian Checa) y El Rubio (Hugo Welzel), dos adolescentes de un barrio obrero que han crecido siendo víctima y acosador, respectivamente. Su relación, marcada por el odio y el resentimiento, da un giro cuando Chimo ve la oportunidad de vengarse. Sin embargo, las consecuencias de sus acciones los llevarán a ambos por un camino inesperado de reflexión y transformación. NOTA EDC: 3 estrellas Min 24: PRESUNCIÓN DE INOCENCIA Drama judicial francés dirigido y protagonizado por Daniel Auteuil, que adapta relatos del abogado penalista Jean-Yves Moyart, conocido como Maître Mô, y se adentra en las complejidades del sistema judicial francés. Jean Monier (Daniel Auteuil), un abogado veterano, ha decidido no aceptar más casos criminales tras la absolución de un asesino reincidente que luego volvió a matar. Sin embargo, su vida da un giro cuando conoce a Nicolas Milik (Grégory Gadebois), un padre de familia acusado de asesinar a su esposa. NOTA EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 27: TODO ESTO PASARÁ Película española que supone un cambio de registro de la directora María Ripoll, que adapta la compleja novela homónima de Milena Busquets, que explora el duelo desde una perspectiva luminosa y personal. Blanca, una mujer de cuarenta años, enfrenta la reciente pérdida de su madre, una figura influyente en su vida. Para sobrellevar el dolor, decide refugiarse en la casa familiar de Cadaqués durante el verano. Allí, entre encuentros con amigos, amantes y recuerdos, Blanca busca sentido a su nueva realidad.

Send us a textEver wondered what happens when a $55 million budget collides with an incoherent script? Welcome to our horrified exploration of "In the Lost Lands," quite possibly one of the worst movies ever committed to film.Based on a George R.R. Martin short story (though you'd never guess it), this fantasy disaster stars Mila Jovovich as Gray Alice—an "illusionist witch" with unexplained face tattoos—and Dave Bautista as Boyce, a mysterious traveler with a cool two-headed snake that disappears from the plot almost immediately. We're told there's only one human city left after some apocalyptic event, yet somehow there's a fully functional train, random barrels of oil, and endless nonsensical plot developments.The film's world-building crumbles under even the lightest scrutiny. Why are slaves mining rocks? How does the economy work? Why does everyone abandon executions before they're complete? Nothing adds up, and the movie never bothers explaining itself. Meanwhile, characters develop romantic feelings out of nowhere, powers work differently in every scene, and the big twist—that Bautista's character is actually the werewolf they're hunting—is both obvious from the start and poorly executed.What truly stuns us is how the film wastes its talented cast. Both Bautista and Jovovich have proven themselves capable actors, but here they deliver wooden performances with dialogue so bad that no performer could salvage it. One particularly egregious scene features Bautista's painfully delivered line "What kind of God is this?"—a moment so poorly executed it becomes unintentionally hilarious.If you enjoy dissecting cinematic disasters or have a high tolerance for absolute nonsense dressed up as fantasy, join us for this brutal breakdown of a film that somehow manages to fail at every fundamental aspect of storytelling. We promise you'll never look at werewolves, illusionists, or two-headed snakes the same way again.Written Lovingly with AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT

In the new book, Navajo Nation police are on high alert when a U.S. Cabinet Secretary schedules an unprecedented trip to the little Navajo town of Shiprock, New Mexico. The visit coincides with a plan to resume uranium mining along the Navajo Nation border. Tensions around the official's arrival escalate when the body of a stranger is found nearby. Is it coincidence that a cult with a propensity for violence arrives at a private camp outside Shiprock the same week to celebrate the summer solstice?Anne Hillerman was approached several years ago by Robert Redford and George R.R.

“We should start back” sono le primissime parole de “Le Cronache del Ghiaccio e del Fuoco” di George R.R. Martin e noi abbiamo pensato di fare esattamente così.Imbottigliato e spedito per direttissima attraverso il Mare Stretto, Tyrion capisce ben poco del viaggio verso Pentos. Tra sensi di colpa, rabbia e vino, il giovane Lannister riflette sul suo più grande crimine: il kinslaying. Cinico e sempre pessimista, durante la traversata pondera le sue opzioni: a Dorne da Myrcella o alla Barriera da Ser Janos Slynt? Con enorme sorpresa di tutti, invece, incontriamo una vecchia conoscenza: Illyrio Mopatis. È proprio nei suoi palazzi che Tyrion è trascinato quasi in coma etilico. Anche qui, Tyrion trascorre le sue giornate bevendo e parlando troppo, tra un pensiero suicida e uno omicida. Troverà proprio a casa di Illyrio dei funghetti che si porterà appresso fino alla fine.Da buon oste, Illyrio offre a Tyrion vitto e alloggio e anche un obiettivo: un certo drago a tre teste.Per raggiungere Daenerys, quindi, i due uomini si avviano per le strade valyriane attraverso Andalos verso il fiume Rhoyne, dove incontreranno un mediatore, Griff, e suo figlio, il giovane Griff, che accompagneranno Tyrion alla corte di Daenerys verso la Baia degli Schiavisti, o se gli dei vogliono anche a metà strada, cioè a Volantis, la più grande tra le figlie dell'impero valyriano. Durante gli interminabili giorni di viaggio, Tyrion viene aggiornato sul chi sia questa figlia del Re Folle, sulle sue conquiste e sulla sua squisita personalità e di come lei e soltanto lei sia riuscita nell'impresa titanica di far rinascere i draghi. È lei la salvatrice di cui parlava Illyrio e che ora vorrebbero aiutare a riconquistare il trono paterno. Ma a che pro? chiede Tyrion, curioso e intrigato. Beh, la spiegazione è così semplice che al Lannister sembra quasi isterica, a tratti troppo banale; Illyrio si ricorda infatti che Viserys, il fratello più grande di Daenerys, gli aveva promesso che l'avrebbe promosso a Maestro del Conio una volta diventato re, e il Magistro di Pentos spera che la sorella mantenga la promessa.Tra banchetti a bordo della lettiga e notti di vino e chiacchiere, veniamo a scoprire anche il profondo legame che intercorre tra Varys l'eunuco e Illyrio, amicizia che va avanti da decenni, tra Pentos, Myr e Approdo del Re. Veniamo anche a scoprire la storia di Hugor Hill, colui che ha portato gli Annali e il Credo dei Sette a Westeros e ci viene rivelato che, con grande sorpresa di Tyrion, la Compagnia Dorata ha reciso un sacro contratto per andare in aiuto alla regina Targaryen. Un'enorme serie di stranezze e una confessione di amor perduto di Illyrio portano alla mente di Tyrion ancora una volta Tysha, suo fratello e suo padre, sia sotto forma di ricordi che sotto forma di sogni… d'altronde è solo immaginando che Tyrion può essere amato.

Adelaide’s scientific community wades into the global conversation about de-extinction as Associate Professor Bastien Llamas from the University of Adelaide’s School of Biological Sciences and the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA brings cool-headed expertise to recent claims about dire wolves being “brought back from extinction.” What began as scientific curiosity became urgently relevant when Steve overheard his teenage daughters excitedly discussing how “wolves aren’t extinct anymore and mammoths will be back soon” – highlighting the real-world consequences of misunderstood science. The SA Drink Of The Week segment isn’t included in this episode, as our focus remains squarely on the fascinating scientific ground being covered, from the definition of true extinction to the uncomfortable realities of dropping long-gone predators into modern ecosystems. In the Musical Pilgrimage, we’re treated to Professor Flint’s Rumble Rumble, a song about the Permian extinction that carries a message of both disaster and hope – perfectly complementing our exploration of extinction, science communication, and the resilience of nature given sufficient time.

Running Sheet: Making De-extinction Claims Extinct 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week No South Australian Drink Of The Week, this week. 00:02:52 Assoc. Prof. Bastien Llamas Winter isn’t just coming, apparently it arrived in October last year when Colossal Biosciences announced they’d successfully “de-extincted” the dire wolf after a 10,000-year absence. Now, for anyone watching the news or scrolling through social media lately, you might think you’ve stepped into an episode of Game of Thrones—and the connection is no coincidence, with George R.R. Martin himself serving as a “cultural adviser” to this company. I first caught wind of this story through our good mate Michael Mills, better known to many South Aussie school kids as Professor Flint, who was absolutely scathing about these claims. And I’ll admit, I thought exploring this topic might be a bit of scientific curiosity until I was driving my teenage daughters recently, and overheard them chatting excitedly about how “cool it is that wolves aren’t extinct anymore” and that “mammoths will be back soon too.” That’s when I realised we needed some cool-headed expertise on the subject. With us today is Associate Professor Bastien Llamas from the University of Adelaide’s School of Biological Sciences and the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA. Bastien’s work on ancient DNA and human adaptation to environmental and cultural stressors puts him in the perfect position to help us understand what’s actually happening with these de-extinction claims. Welcome. The interview opens amid the cultural echoes of Game of Thrones, with Steve noting how Colossal Biosciences has seemingly found a “middle ground” in the stark binary of winning or dying in the game of thrones – by claiming to resurrect dire wolves after a 10,000-year absence. This connection is no coincidence, with George R.R. Martin himself serving as a cultural advisor to the company. “If it looks like a dire wolf and it howls like a dire wolf, it’s… well, a dire wolf for the sake of PR purposes,” Steve observes, setting the stage for Bastien to methodically dismantle the scientific validity of these claims. The discussion begins with fundamentals, as Bastien explains what extinction actually means from a scientific perspective: “The extinction process is really the total disappearance of a particular species from the surface of the earth.” The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Bastien addresses the technological impossibility of true de-extinction: “To de-extinct means literally bringing back individuals from that very species to life… if that extinction happened hundreds or thousands of years ago, it means that we would need to have intact cells from these particular individuals. And through some cloning technologies, be able to create an embryo… Now we’re talking about science fiction.” When pressed on the ecological reality of reintroducing extinct species, Bastien paints a vivid picture of the challenges: “If a species got extinct in the first place, it’s very likely because there were some factors — environmental change or human overkill — that means the world has slowly changed to the point where that species was not adapted to their environment.” His specific example about dire wolves resonates with practical concerns: “A nice big cow would probably be a great prey for that wolf. And I am just waiting for the reaction of the farmers.” The scientific breakdown of Colossal’s claims is particularly enlightening, with Bastien revealing that dire wolves and grey wolves split evolutionarily 5.7 million years ago: “For 5.7 million years, they evolved differently. Dire wolf became those big whoopy canid, um, you know, hypercar, the gray wolves were more adaptable, uh, smaller size, and a diet that was a little bit more diverse.” This evolutionary divergence created approximately 12.5 million genetic differences, yet Colossal made only 20 genetic changes to grey wolves. “Twenty changes out of 12.5 million is nothing,” Bastien emphasises. The interview takes a philosophical turn when Steve asks about the one motivation that might have ethical value – atonement for human-caused extinctions. Bastien thoughtfully responds, “Even atoning for that doesn’t mean that we’re going to change our behaviors,” noting that such technology might create a dangerous sense of complacency about current conservation challenges. Perhaps most powerfully, Bastien offers an analogy that crystallises the issue: “If we take a chimp and we introduce 20 changes in the genome of the chimp, so it loses the hair, for example, and the shape of the skull is modified… would we consider that genetically engineered chimp a human?” The answer is clearly no, undermining the claim that genetically modified grey wolves are actually dire wolves. The conversation closes with wisdom about critical thinking, with Bastien suggesting that while we should allow ourselves to be amazed by scientific headlines initially, we must follow with critical reflection: “You need to let it go. At first you need to be amazed. You need to be curious. You need to be dreaming a little bit. But then once that first phase is over, you need to sit down a little bit and think about really what the information is about.” 00:51:09 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature Rumble Rumble by Professor Flint. This is a song about the Permian extinction, known as The Great Dying, in which 96% of all life was wiped out. It reminds us of the fragility of nature, and the impermanence of all things. It also reminds us of nature’s resilience. While it took millions of years to recover, given the chance, and time, nature was able to recover, and we enter the remarkable Age of Dinosaurs. The death of some, allows for the evolution of others. Michael Mills, the man behind Professor Flint and HeapsGood Music, is highlighted as someone gaining popularity by “staying true to the science” – a refreshing counterpoint to the misleading headlines discussed throughout the episode. Steve shares exciting news about Michael’s upcoming performances at the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival in the UK (making history as the first Australian to grace that stage), as well as his Commonwealth National Science Week grant supporting “The Ammonites,” an all-female dinosaur-loving supergroup touring across Australia this August.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Martin e noi abbiamo pensato di fare esattamente così.Sansa ha deciso, dirà alla zia esattamente come si sente, non importa se Lysa dovesse decidere di esiliarla, alla fine tanto meglio, alle Porte della Luna avrebbe avuto più compagnia e sicuramente non ci sarebbe stato il piccolo Robert coi suoi continui lamenti e capricci.La zia la convoca nell'Alta Sala lo stesso pomeriggio; è Marillion, il cantante inopportuno, ad accompagnarla verso la sentenza. L'Alta Sala di Nido dell'Aquila è fredda, buia e inospitale. Lysa è seduta sullo scranno di weirwood più piccolo, riservando quello più grande al figlio assente.Lysa attacca senza possibilità di difesa la nipote, lanciando accuse dall'alto del suo delirio e imminente crisi isterica. Dimenticandosi completamente della sua falsa identità, Lysa immagina e idealizza Sansa come una nuova versione di sua sorella Catelyn, proiettando su di lei tutte le sue immense insicurezze e la sua cocente gelosia.Sansa non sa che fare, è immobilizzata da un terrore cieco, come se fosse tornata a King's Landing con i Lannister, non ha minimamente idea delle cose su cui la zia sta farneticando, non riesce a comprendere tutte le sconcertanti confessioni che Lysa le sta rovesciando addosso su un passato che lei non può ricordare perché non era nata.A un certo punto le cose si mettono molto male, la zia la prende per un braccio e la trascina contro il suo volere davanti la Porta della Luna*. In bilico tra la vita e la morte, sferzata dalle gelide dita del vento, Sansa lotta con tutte le sue forze per non essere spinta giù da una zia delirante e in preda all'isteria. Solo il tempestivo intervento di Littlefinger riesce a salvare Sansa da morte certa. Petyr, seppur a fatica, riesce a convincere Lysa a lasciar andare la nipote e, a seguito del bacio di giuda, spinge la moglie giù dalla Porta della Luna. “Only Cat” sono le ultime parole che Lysa sente dalla bocca di Ditocorto, confermando alla fine tutte le sue più grandi paure: Petyr aveva amato solo una donna in tutta la sua vita, sua sorella Catelyn.Ovviamente condividete su tutte le piattaforme, spargete la voce e mettete like al video.

Steve Toussaint Accidentally Confirms Daeron Targaryen Casting for House of the Dragon Season 3

Actor Steve Toussaint, known for his role as Lord Corlys Velaryon in House of the Dragon, may have inadvertently confirmed a major casting decision for the upcoming third season. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Toussaint shared a cast list for House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 4, revealing the inclusion of Prince Daeron Targaryen—a character long speculated to appear in the show.The post was quickly taken down, but not before fan accounts captured and circulated screenshots across social media platforms. The list also included Lady Jeyne Arryn, a character who briefly appeared in Season 2, suggesting an expanded role in the upcoming season.Daeron Targaryen is the youngest son of King Viserys I and Alicent Hightower, making him the younger brother of King Aegon II, Queen Helaena, and Prince Aemond. Unlike his siblings, Daeron was sent to be fostered by House Hightower in Oldtown, a decision made to solidify the family's influence in Westeros. Though absent from the first two seasons, his existence has been subtly acknowledged in dialogue, most notably in a conversation between Alicent and her brother, Ser Gwayne Hightower.In Fire & Blood, the novel by George R.R. Martin that serves as the basis for the series, Daeron is known to be a skilled dragon-rider, bonded with Tessarion, a blue-scaled she-dragon. While details about her age and growth differ in the source material, she is expected to be large enough for battle by the time the Targaryen civil war—known as the Dance of the Dragons—reaches its peak.Daeron's arrival is a significant development in the ongoing struggle between Rhaenyra and Aegon II for the Iron Throne. With another dragon-rider entering the fray, the balance of power may shift dramatically. His presence could also deepen the internal conflicts within House Hightower and the Targaryen factions.Additionally, Toussaint's leaked cast list hints at other notable absences and inclusions. Episode 4 will reportedly omit major players such as Prince Aemond, Otto Hightower, and Addam Velaryon, while featuring Lady Jeyne Arryn. If Jeyne plays a more substantial role, this could indicate increased focus on the Vale and its strategic importance in the war.This is not the first time House of the Dragon has faced early leaks. Casting confirmations and behind-the-scenes photos frequently surface online, fueling speculation about future plotlines. While HBO has yet to officially announce Daeron's casting, Toussaint's deleted post serves as the strongest evidence yet of his upcoming debut.Season 3 of House of the Dragon is currently in production, with a release date expected in 2026 on HBO and Max.Who is Daeron Targaryen?What This Means for Season 3A Pattern of Early Reveals

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Series Fatigue: The Dryad Storm by Laurie Forest Being excited about a new release can be scary. Being excited about a new release that is ALSO the conclusion to the series is another level of excited/scary. When that new release that is also the conclusion of the series then turns out to be a DNF for BOTH Laura Marie and Jessica Marie, then the question becomes? Was it them? or Is it really that bad? The Black Witch Chronicles comes to an end with The Dryad Storm, the book that was such a DNF that is sparked a question about fatigue and the willingness to journey through the slog. How much is the reader's time worth? When do you take ownership of your reading and acknowledge that you are not having fun? What other series suffer from series fatigue? If any?

Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, with worldbuilding contributions from George R.R. Martin, Elden Ring expands the Soulsborne formula into a sprawling, unforgiving landscape—the Lands Between—where death is certain, but victory is oh so sweet. At the time of this recording, Elden Ring holds a Metacritic score of 96, solidifying its place as one of the highest-rated games of all time. According to HowLongToBeat, a standard playthrough takes around 60 hours (a complete and utter lie), while completionists can expect well over 134+ hours of brutal bosses, deep lore, and relentless challenge. Both Alex and Luke played on Xbox Series X, comparing notes on their builds, the moments that broke them, and the bosses that left them questioning their life choices.
