Phil and Emily continue the Angelina Jolie action films miniseries with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider — The Cradle of Life (2003), joined by Carson Betts and Caroline Thompson, co-hosts of the How Have You Not Seen It podcast. All four participants are watching this film for the first time. This is relevant information.The Cradle of Life follows Lara Croft racing to find Pandora's Box before a rogue scientist with strong Peter Thiel energy can use it as a biological weapon, with complications provided by her ex-lover Terry Sheridan, played by Gerard Butler. It cost $95 million, grossed $160 million worldwide, and opened July 25th, 2003 against Spy Kids 3D, Pirates of the Caribbean, Bad Boys 2, and Seabiscuit. It received three stars from Roger Ebert, which nearly convinced Emily to see it in theaters that summer. She saw The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen instead. Phil does not believe she made the better choice. The film was also banned in China for giving the impression of a country in chaos overrun by secret societies. Hollywood had not yet figured that out.The consensus is that this movie is more competent than the first Tomb Raider along nearly every axis, which somehow makes it less enjoyable. Phil calls it dumb and not fun, as opposed to the first film, which was dumb and fun. Emily notes the big action set piece in the middle is a shootout in a lab, which she finds strange given the title. The group also covers Jan de Bont's filmography and what it means that this was his final film, the Sasquatch creatures that the script introduces and then declines to explain, and the actual Cradle of Life, which turns out to be visually underwhelming in a way that Carson compares to a YouTube video that will not load.The true climax, Carson argues, was always going to be in Lara's heart.This is the third installment of the miniseries on Angelina Jolie's 2000s action films, following Gone in 60 Seconds and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.Follow the show and guests:Podcast Like It's... — https://www.instagram.com/podcastlikeitsPhil Iscove — https://www.instagram.com/pmiscoveEmily St. James — https://www.instagram.com/emilystjamsCarson Betts — https://www.instagram.com/carsonlbettsCaroline Thompson — https://www.instagram.com/sportclimbbarbieHow Have You Not Seen It — https://www.instagram.com/hhynspod

Mat is back, and we've moved on from Retsu! Now it's Motobe's time to shine. Listen as we discuss how lame Kendo is, a truly bizarre plan from the Kyoto police, and Gerard Butler.
James Cameron-Wilson says that #1 The Devil Wears Prada 2 has taken 85% of the first film's total in just 3 days. Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway have reunited, along with much of the behind-the-camera talent. It's a formulaic and superficial pleasure but has plenty of laughs. James thinks Primavera, about the composer Vivaldi, is one of the best films of the year: it is showing in select Picturehouse and Curzon hardtops. He feels everyone should watch Netflix's documentary The Plastic Detox, which he says has changed his life. It's full of good humour, despite its message about the toxic chemicals in plastics which alter our hormones. It's horrifying but educational and actually made a massive difference to six formerly childless couples who were the detox guinea pigs. He advises everybody to give a wide berth to the awful Greenland 2: Migration, an apocalyptic thriller with Gerard Butler. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

From shocking twists to over-the-top revenge tactics, this movie keeps pushing the limits of what justice really means.As always, we pair this intense ride with booze-worthy brews that hit just as hard as Clyde's master plan.

Sam Childers, widely known as “The Machine Gun Preacher,” is an American pastor, former outlaw biker, and humanitarian whose life story has inspired people around the world. After a troubled past marked by addiction, violence, and crime, he experienced a dramatic Christian conversion that changed the course of his life. He went on to dedicate himself to rescuing vulnerable children in war-torn East Africa, particularly in South Sudan and Uganda, where he founded children's villages and orphanages through his ministry, Angels of East Africa. His extraordinary journey was portrayed in the 2011 film Machine Gun Preacher starring Gerard Butler. He joined Kieran in studio
From a working class girl in Ayrshire, fuelled by teenage rage at Margaret Thatcher, to becoming the first female First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon has one of the most extraordinary political journeys of our time. And now, for the first time, she's telling it on her own terms. In this chat with Josh recorded live at the Aye Write Book Festival in Glasgow, Nicola opens up about the crippling imposter syndrome that followed her all the way to the top, and how she learned to turn that inner voice from a handicap into a superpower. She talks candidly about navigating a world built for men, the double standards, the authority gap, and why Boris Johnson deliberately messes up his hair before going on camera. She reflects on the heartbreak of the Scottish independence referendum and what that taught her about failure, her deeply personal decision to speak publicly about her miscarriage, and the unfounded rumours about her private life that spread from social media all the way to her parents' front door. She also shares what it was really like to have audiences with the late Queen, meet Hillary Clinton on a 10 out of 10 hangover, and go clubbing at university with a certain Gerard Butler. And after a lifetime of speaking for a government, a party, and a country, she talks about what it finally feels like to speak only for herself.

This episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast goes completely off the rails as Beau Jones and Jordan Abbey Young introduce one of the strangest ongoing bits in podcast history.What starts as a casual yarn quickly turns into an in-depth, highly unscientific investigation into circumcision, foreskins, late cuts, and why one of the boys is actively keeping a written list of who's cut, who isn't, and who gets an exemption for being a good bloke.The conversation spirals into stories about late-life circumcisions, running theories on hygiene, confidence, and why certain blokes just “give off” uncut energy. There are wild metaphors involving cars, engines, fuel filters, and luxury vehicles that somehow all get tied back to anatomy.Jordan explains why he named his cock after Gerard Butler, comparisons are made that no one asked for, and a pub-based foreskin guessing game is pitched as a genuine social experiment.Along the way, the boys break down why asking uncomfortable questions is sometimes the fastest way to work out who you'll actually get along with. According to this logic, if someone can't answer “cut or uncut” without panicking, they're probably not staying out till 3am with you anyway.It's crude, ridiculous, self-aware, and exactly the kind of yarn that could only happen after a few tins with the right people.If you're into unfiltered Australian humour, pub logic, conversations that go way too far, and episodes that abandon all dignity within five minutes, this one delivers.Absolutely not safe for work.Absolutely a proper true yarn.#propertrueyarn

O’Shea Jackson Jr. opens up about the highs, the lows, and the very real downside of having a rap legend for a father - including a short-lived music career…and an even shorter-lived stage name. Since then, he’s gone on to share the screen with Michael B. Jordan, Charlize Theron and Gerard Butler - a journey that somehow all traces back to his kitchen.

He's been threatening for years. Instead of Greenland or Geostorm, he went with this. Butler is part of these cops who want to take down these armored car robbers who just killed a bunch of dudes. The best way to go about that is clearly to attack Ice Cube Jr. and kidnap him. Can these robbers be stopped? Did this live up to Jule's Butler love? Is 50 Cent kinda good if he doesn't have lines?

“It's not about the money.” Join Ian & Megs for our 324th episode as we step into the perfectly constructed, quietly audacious bank heist of Spike Lee's Inside Man (2006). Clocks are ticking, identities are shifting, and nothing is quite what it seems as we try to work out who's really in control… and who never was. This week we discuss: Denzel Washington as Detective Frazier — cool, controlled, and always just one step behind. Is this one of Denzel's most understated performances? Clive Owen's Dalton Russell — precise, patient, and almost philosophical. Is he a villain, a hero, or something far more interesting? Also, is he more than just a poor man's Gerard Butler? Jodie Foster's power broker — calculated, composed, and operating on a completely different level of influence. Do we forgive her more easily because of her gender? The structure of the heist — meticulous, layered, and deliberately misleading. How does the film hide its intentions in plain sight? Megs explores the film's themes of power and privilege — what's really being stolen, and who actually gets away with it. Ian breaks down Spike Lee's direction and cinematography — style, pacing, and how he injects social commentary into a genre film without slowing it down. The use of misdirection — costumes, timelines, and narrative sleight of hand. When does the audience realise they've been played? The “show vs tell” balance — how much does the film explain, and how much does it trust the audience to catch up? The ending reveal — clever, satisfying, or just slightly too neat? Does the film even know what the ending of its own plot is? Are we satisfied with how it ended and what would be the danger of making it more explicit? The moral question — is justice served, or simply… redirected? And finally, whether Inside Man is the Best Film Ever — or one of the smartest, most rewatchable heist films of the 21st century.

In der aktuellen Podcast-Episode widmen wir uns gleich drei sehr unterschiedlichen, aber hochspannenden Film- und Serienprojekten: dem blutigen Action-Horror „They Will Kill You“, dem Katastrophen-Sequel „Greenland 2: Migration“ und dem lange erwarteten „Scrubs“-Reboot aus dem Jahr 2026. Gemeinsam haben alle Titel, dass sie große Erwartungen wecken – sei es durch prominente Namen, bekannte Marken oder ein starkes Genreversprechen. Den Auftakt macht der Kinofilm „They Will Kill You“, inszeniert von Kirill Sokolov. Der Film kombiniert kompromisslosen Horror mit schwarzem Humor und stylischer Action. Im Mittelpunkt steht eine junge Frau, die sich in einem luxuriösen New Yorker Hochhaus plötzlich in einem tödlichen Albtraum wiederfindet. Der Film fällt vor allem durch seine extreme Bildsprache, sein hohes Tempo und einen deutlichen „Eat-the-Rich“-Unterton auf. In unserem Podcast sprechen wir darüber, wie gut diese Mischung aufgeht, für wen der Film geeignet ist und warum er nicht nur für Horrorfans interessant sein könnte. Anschließend geht es mit „Greenland 2: Migration“ deutlich größer und ernster weiter. Das Sequel knüpft an die Ereignisse des ersten Films an und begleitet die Familie Garrity auf einer gefährlichen Reise durch ein zerstörtes Europa. Statt eines einzelnen Katastrophenszenarios steht diesmal das Überleben in einer postapokalyptischen Welt im Fokus. Wir diskutieren, ob der zweite Teil die emotionale Wucht des Originals erreicht, wie glaubwürdig die Eskalation erzählt wird und ob Gerard Butler erneut als Zugpferd überzeugt. Zum Abschluss werfen wir einen ausführlichen Blick auf das „Scrubs“-Reboot 2026. Die Kultserie kehrt mit bekannten Figuren und einer neuen Generation von Ärztinnen und Ärzten zurück ins Sacred Heart Hospital. Humor, Herz und der typische „Scrubs“-Ton sollen erhalten bleiben, gleichzeitig will die Serie moderne Themen und eine veränderte Krankenhausrealität abbilden. Im Podcast besprechen wir, wie gut dieser Spagat gelingt, welche Figuren besonders gut funktionieren und warum das Reboot für alte Fans ebenso wie für Neueinsteiger spannend sein kann. Wenn du wissen willst, welche dieser Produktionen wirklich sehenswert sind und wo wir Stärken und Schwächen sehen, dann hör unbedingt in die neue Episode rein.

It's time for another look at a movie about and featuring video games but not actually based on a video game. This time it's 2009's Gamer starring Gerard Butler, Logan Lerman, Michael C Hall and directed by Crank duo Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. Set in the far distant future of 2034 in a world where the game Slayers (an online third person shooter) uses real life death-row prisoners in a real life murder arena controlled by players safely at home. In many ways it's ahead of it's time and in many other ways it has aged horrible.

Don't Kill the Messenger with movie research expert Kevin Goetz
Send Kevin a Text MessageFilmmaker Ric Roman Waugh joins host Kevin Goetz for a conversation about his unconventional path from stuntman's son to one of Hollywood's most distinctive action directors. Waugh discusses growing up inside the stunt world, his mentors, and his mission to make commercial action films that also deliver an important message. During the conversation, he touches on his collaborations with Dwayne Johnson, Gerard Butler, and Jason Statham, and on films such as Felon, Snitch, Shot Caller, Angel Has Fallen, Greenland, and Shelter that have defined his brand of character-driven action movies.Working with Tony Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer (02:47): Waugh credits Tony Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer as the mentors who shaped his collaborative instinct…leaders who respected everyone on set, demanded the best, and inspired those around them.Growing Up in Stunts Unlimited (06:13): Waugh's father, Fred Waugh, was a founding member of Stunts Unlimited, the legendary stunt group led by Hal Needham. Ric grew up on sets and, to his father's disappointment, was more dazzled by the stuntmen than the movie stars.In the Writers' Room (15:20): Before directing, Waugh spent years writing originals for producers like Mark Gordon, Neil Moritz, and Jerry Bruckheimer. He describes how this process taught him how Hollywood actually worked.Finding His Voice and Making Felon (17:54): Inspired by Sidney Lumet's socially-conscious entertainments, he researched the California prison system, became a volunteer parole agent, and made Felon on spec.Snitch and Dwayne Johnson (24:10): Working with Dwayne Johnson on Snitch was a pivotal experience for Waugh. Both men were at a crossroads in their careers, and this film helped clarify Waugh's mission: to use the commercial action films as a Trojan horse for social commentary.The Audience Is the Real Collaborator (29:56): Waugh reflects on his long working relationship with Kevin Goetz and the role of test screenings in his process. Waugh shares how he uses early and formal audience feedback to identify what isn't being communicated.Marketing in a Distracted World (46:10): Waugh and Goetz discuss the challenge of building audiences for original stories amid the declining effectiveness of traditional marketing.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review and share it with a fellow film lover. We look forward to bringing you more behind-the-scenes stories next time on Don't Kill the Messenger.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Ric Roman WaughProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Ric Roman Waugh:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ric_Roman_WaughIMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006846/Instagram: For more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

in honor of this program's 300th episode, several of my devoted listeners pooled together cash from their paper routes and lemonade stands to purchase congratulatory Cameo calls from persons commonly associated with the number 300. Sadly, thespian powerhouse Gerard Butler (fig 1) turned down the gig saying he couldn't get into the character. Widely decorated pro bowler and DX acolyte Pete Weber also blew us off, claiming the provided script was too sexually explicit. If this wasn't discouraging enough, how fucking crazy it is that Cameo's Larry Graham isn't on Cameo? AT LEAST THE CAKE WAS GREAT and yeah, so is the program.

Here's some Friday The 13th numerology for ya Party Man Dan checks in for the first time this year, with a shit ton of questions Headlines
The group discussed the two Greenland movies, focusing on their prepper relevance. Jeff provided a synopsis of the first movie, which follows Gerard Butler's family as they try to reach a safety bunker in Greenland before a comet hits Earth. The group criticized the movie's lack of realism and reliance on coincidences, but agreed it had some prepper lessons, such as the importance of having a bug-out plan and considering potential obstacles. They also discussed the second movie, which takes place five years after the comet impact. Even though the sequel was more of a disaster flick, it still offered some prepper lessons. Wasn't this episode informative? You can watch both movies with enlightened eyes!

On this week's episode, I'm very pleased to be joined by Ric Roman Waugh, the director of the new film Shelter, starring Jason Statham. We talked a lot about making that movie and how he best utilized Statham's skills as opposed to Dwayne Johnson's in the movie Snitch or Gerard Butler's in the Greenland films, Kandahar, and Angel Has Fallen. Shelter, which is in theaters now, is a little more meditative than some of Statham's recent work, though no less effective for it. We discussed why Statham was attracted to the part and how his fatherhood helped inform his role as the protector of an orphaned young girl.Then we discussed making the transition from stuntman to director: Waugh worked with Tony Scott on a number of pictures, and had some interesting insights into the methods of the great action director. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't have to practically restrain myself from just doing 30 minutes on Waugh's Shot Caller, a gritty prison drama.oo

In the first Greenland movie, Greenland turned out to be more than just possibly the future 51st state of the United State Of America. It was a refuge for those who survived the trip, and got there before a planet-killing meteor hits Earth. Now with “Greenland 2: Migration”, it's been 5 years since that meteor, named Clarke, hit. The refuge seems to be getting much closer to its expiration date, and fast. Our protagonists, the Garrity family, led by John Garrity, played by Gerard Butler, are suddenly thrust into a cross-country trip to find another refuge. Kinda sounds like the first movie. Is it worth going to the theater to check it out? Find out in this episode of Movies Merica! “Greenland 2: Migration” also stars Morena Baccarin, Tommie Earl Jenkins, Trond Fausa, Amber Rose Revah, Gina Gangar, Antonio De Lima, Peter Polycarpou, Beruce Khan, Roman Griffin Davis and Gordon Alexander.

Matt brings Laci into the glorious world of Gerard Butler, who is single-handedly trying to save American movies by making throwback '90s-feeling thrillers that are actually playing in movie theaters.

Are you intimidated by eating organs or unsure how to add more nutrient density to your diet without it feeling overwhelming? In this episode, we sit down with chef James Barry to take the “yuck” factor out of preparing and eating organ meats. We break down why organs are truly nature's multivitamin, how sourcing and preparation make all the difference, and how simple tools—like James's organ-based seasoning, Pluck—can make this powerful superfood an easy, delicious part of everyday meals. In this conversation, we also dive into why organ meats fell out of favor, how modern food culture has disconnected us from nutrient-dense eating, and why mindfulness around food matters just as much as what's on your plate. James shares practical, real-life strategies for getting organs into the diet without overwhelm—from beginner-friendly swaps and family-approved recipes to the best ways to season, cook, and source organs for optimal flavor and nutrition. Whether you're organ-curious or just looking for smarter ways to upgrade your meals, this episode is packed with approachable education and takeaways you can actually use. More about James Barry: James Barry's 20 years in the culinary field started as a private chef cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Mariska Hargitay (of Law & Order:SVI fame), Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack. James is CEO & Founder of the organ-based, superfood seasoning, Pluck. It's the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet. James is also a published cookbook author having co-authored the recipes in Margaret Floyd's book Eat Naked and Dr. Alejandro Junger's book, Clean 7. He authored the cookbook The Naked Foods Cookbook. He is the host of the podcast, Everyday Ancestral.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of January 9, 2026. Our Big Movie this week is Gerard Butler & Morena Baccarin returning in the disaster-movie sequel "Greenland 2: Migration", a decent-but-not-great follow up to 2020's "Greenland". An excellent option in theaters is "Is This Thing On?," where Will Arnett copes with his marital estrangement by...doing stand-up comedy. But there's more to it than just that and Laura Dern is also excellent. The best option is (According to Andy) is Angel Studios’ "I Was A Stranger." It tells a powerful story of Syrian refugees that brought him to tears in one of those tough-to-watch-but-worth-it of films. For streaming fodder, Netflix has an adaptation of the romance novel "People We Meet on Vacation" that, while I have a few minor quibbles, was still relatively entertaining.

On today's new episode and the last of 2025, the guys discuss the 1998 classic Small Soldiers directed by Joe Dante and starring Tommy Lee Jones and Kirsten DunstBut first, are Clive Owen and Gerard Butler basically the same guy? Do we love the cast of this movie? Is this our first edition of The Boys Talk Toys? Did we all see this in theaters? Does this movie have Gremlins vibes and easter eggs? How was the CGI for a 1998 film? If Toy Story had Apocalypse Now vibes would it be Small Soldiers? For a kids movie does this have intelligent critiques of the military industrial complex? Were they trying to make Jay Mohr a thing in the 90s? Was this move Phil Hartman's last role? Did Andy Dick OD recently? Is Cody the Alan Abernathy of the pod? Does this movie get a 6 on the Foley? Would Avatar exist without Small Soldiers? Is this movie insanely quotable? Is Stephen Lang the real life Chip Hazard? Was Led Zeppelin cool in the 90s? Does this movie have a crazy soundtrack? Is this movie too violent for kids? Did the boys have encyclopedias growing up? Is this a “holiday” movie? Can these toys feel pain or reproduce? Will there ever be a Small Soldiers 2? Was this movie a box office flop? Do we each have a favorite Adam Sandler-produced movie that the others hate? Why do we need to ban Elon Musk from watching Small Soldiers? Were there any Small Soldiers video games? Are we The Heavy Duty Boys?

Pete Scobell is a former U.S. Navy SEAL Lieutenant with 17 years of service, including six combat deployments, best known as the real-life member of the SEAL team that rescued Captain Richard Phillips from Somali pirates in 2009, inspiring the film Captain Phillips. Scobell served in the United States Navy as both an enlisted and officer in the SEAL Teams. He served at SEAL Team EIGHT, ONE, SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team ONE and Naval Special Warfare Development Group. Prior to the Navy, Pete was a ski racer in New York State and the Pennsylvania State Champion in the Pole Vault. While working as a lifeguard for the state of Pennsylvania, he was awarded the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources Heroism Award for a rescue he made at Presque Isle State Park. A graduate of the United States Naval Academy with a BS in Political Science, he was the third (and last) enlisted SEAL selected to attend the United States Naval Academy. After a four-year hiatus from pole vaulting, he walked onto the Naval Academy Track Team (Division I), set the freshman record, and placed in the IC4As. He was also a starter on the A-side Naval Academy Rugby team. Scobell suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) from an explosion in Afghanistan in 2010, which ended his active duty career. After rigorous rehabilitation at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence, he transformed his experiences into advocacy for TBI and PTSD recovery, speaking to military audiences and veterans' groups. Transitioning to civilian life, Scobell pursued passions in music, releasing country-Americana albums like Wild (2015) as the Pete Scobell Band, acting in films such as Plane (2023) alongside Gerard Butler, and competing as a professional skier after a 17-year hiatus. A father of three and husband, he consults on security, writes, and motivates others through resilience stories, emphasizing mental health and second chances.
