Han Solo's origin story takes centre stage as The Commentary Booth continues its Star Wars 50th Anniversary Celebration Rewatch Series with Solo: A Star Wars Story.Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey head back to 2018 for a space Western packed with smugglers, criminals, double-crosses, questionable life choices and, eventually, one very familiar Wookiee. For Corrina, this is her very first watch of Solo, and somehow, eight years on, she managed to dodge every spoiler, including the movie's biggest reveal.The pair dig into Alden Ehrenreich's portrayal of Han Solo, asking whether he manages to capture Harrison Ford's swagger without simply becoming a Ford impersonator. They also discuss Donald Glover's near-perfect Lando Calrissian, Emilia Clarke's Qi'ra, Woody Harrelson's Tobias Beckett and a surprisingly stacked supporting cast.Then there's the production drama. Jamie breaks down the notorious change of directors from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller to Ron Howard, the competing creative visions behind the movie and how that turbulent production may have contributed to a film that sometimes feels like two different Star Wars adventures fighting for screen time.The conversation also gets into the spectacular train heist, the Kessel Run, Han and Chewie's first meeting, L3-37, the film's endless betrayals, the Darth Maul surprise and why Corrina absolutely did not see that one coming.Is Solo an underrated Star Wars adventure, an overlong origin story, or simply a decent movie caught in the middle of a galaxy-sized production mess? Jamie and Corrina have plenty to say about it.Plus, find out where Solo lands in their personal Star Wars rankings and whether either of them thinks they'd willingly watch it again.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

Entre las estrellas que desfilan: Harrison Ford, el drácula Jack Pallance, el padre de Timothy, Jim Hutton, la embrujada Elizabeth Montgomery o las ángeles de Charlie. Cuando el terror se pasaba en familia y no rodeado de subnormales mirando tik tok.

[00:00] At just 12 years old, five years after his family fled Vietnam, Ke Huy Quan found himself on the set of "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," working alongside Harrison Ford. Decades later, he's an Oscar winner, known for his role in "Everything Everywhere All at Once," and now he's telling his story in a new memoir, Never Say Die. Quan talks about making lifelong friendships while filming The Goonies, stepping away from Hollywood, and finding the confidence to begin acting again.[26:49] Saying "no" can be hard, whether at work, or with friends, family, or in a relationship. Anna Holmes, contributing writer for The Atlantic, makes the case that "No" is especially difficult for women and girls, who are socialized to be more accommodating. Holmes discusses her new book, The Power of No, and listeners share examples where they said no, or struggled to say no.Photo: Vietnamese-US actor Ke Huy Quan attends the premiere of "The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist" at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on March 23, 2026.

Deze week word je niet bijgepraat over het allerlaatste nerd nieuws, want in aflevering 275 van Nerd Culture pakken we het net ietsjes anders aan, Jelle en Koos zijn nog steeds op avontuur en daarom schuift Donny aan bij Huey voor een aflevering die volledig in het teken staat van één van de grootste avonturenfilms aller tijden: Raiders of the Lost Ark. Een film die deze week 45 jaar oud is, maar nog altijd stand houdt als een van Spielbergs absolute klassiekers. Dus trek je fedora uit de kast, pak je zweep erbij en bereid je voor op een flinke dosis Indiana Jones. Raiders of the Lost Ark: de perfecte avonturenfilm? Wat maakt Raiders of the Lost Ark eigenlijk zo goed? Donny en Huey duiken volledig in de film die in 1981 Indiana Jones introduceerde en daarmee een blauwdruk neerzette voor avonturenfilms die volgden. Van de iconische openingsscène en de gigantische rots tot de zoektocht naar de Ark des Verbonds: alles komt voorbij. Wat zijn hun favoriete momenten, hoe goed houden de personages zich nog stand en waarom werkt deze film na al die jaren nog steeds zo ontzettend goed? Indiana Jones, Spielberg, Lucas & de erfenis van Raiders Natuurlijk kijken we ook naar de mensen achter de film. Steven Spielberg, George Lucas en Harrison Ford kwamen samen voor een film die uiteindelijk veel groter zou worden dan iemand vooraf had durven te voorspellen. We bespreken de invloed van Raiders of the Lost Ark op films, games en de bredere nerdcultuur, maar natuurlijk ook de films die daarna kwamen. En moeten we de latere Indiana Jones-films nog wel serieus nemen? Donny en Huey hebben er in ieder geval genoeg over te zeggen. Van de Ark des Verbonds tot Indiana's zweep en van Spielberg tot Harrison Ford: Nerd Culture 275 staat volledig in het teken van Raiders of the Lost Ark.

On est au milieu des années 70, Harrison Ford vient de jouer dans "American Graffiti" de George Lucas mais il galère à trouver d'autres rôles. Marié, deux enfants, il a besoin d'argent. Lui qui a une formation de charpentier fait donc des petits boulots de menuiserie. L'un d'eux le conduit dans la boîte de production de Francis Ford Coppola où il doit fabriquer une porte. Alors qu'il scie, rabote et ponce, voilà qu'Harrison Ford croise George Lucas à qui on a prêté une salle pour un casting, celui pour un des rôles majeurs de son prochain film... "La Guerre des étoiles". Dans "Ah Ouais ?", Florian Gazan répond en une minute chrono à toutes les questions essentielles, existentielles, parfois complètement absurdes, qui vous traversent la tête.

David and Hannah discuss the next major chapter in Star Wars publishing with the release of the second novel in the Reign of the Empire trilogy. We share our thoughts on the story and how this era continues to explore the galaxy during the dark days of Imperial rule. Then, we continue our look back at the original Star Wars films with a discussion on the best performance in The Empire Strikes Back. From Mark Hamill's emotional growth as Luke Skywalker and Harrison Ford's iconic portrayal of Han Solo to Frank Oz's debut as Yoda and Billy Dee Williams' introduction as Lando Calrissian, we debate which performance stands above the rest in what many consider the greatest Star Wars film ever made.

Long before an entire generation of moviegoers learned that six words — "give my daughter the shot" — could completely wreck them, James L. Brooks crafted one of the most emotionally seismic mother-daughter dramas ever put on film. In this episode, we dive into Terms of Endearment (1983), the Best Picture-winning classic that somehow makes you laugh hysterically one minute and sob uncontrollably the next.We break down Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger's legendary chemistry as Aurora Greenway and her daughter Emma, spanning 30 years of a relationship that's equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking. We get into the behind-the-scenes drama — including the studio's fear that the film's wild tonal shifts would tank it at the box office, and how it instead went on to sweep the Academy Awards with five Oscars, including Best Picture.Along the way, we talk Jack Nicholson's iconic supporting performance and on-set improvisation, the evolving nature of movie stardom, some fascinating casting choices and near-misses (Harrison Ford, Paul Newman, and more), the underrated supporting cast including Danny DeVito, Jeff Daniels, and John Lithgow, and whether this 80s classic still hits as hard today as it did in theaters.Whether you remember ugly-crying in a movie theater in 1983 or you've never seen it and want to know what all the fuss is about, this is your deep dive into one of the defining dramas of the decade.Perfect for fans of: Gen X movie podcasts, 80s movie retrospectives, Terms of Endearment reviews, Shirley MacLaine movies, Jack Nicholson movies, classic tearjerker films, Best Picture Oscar winners, 80s drama and comedy classics, retro movie rewatch podcasts.Chapters00:00 – Introduction to Terms of Endearment03:02 – First Time Viewing and Initial Impressions07:20 – Risky Quizness: Behind-the-Scenes Knowledge12:10 – Studio's Fear and Box Office Success15:29 – Casting and Stellar Performances19:47 – The Legacy of Jack Nicholson20:25 – The Changing Landscape of Movie Stars21:24 – The Craft of Acting and Artistry22:04 – Casting Choices and Regrets22:35 – The Impact of Casting Decisions23:32 – The Charisma of Harrison Ford24:01 – The Role of Paul Newman24:53 – The Influence of the Director on the Script and Actors25:14 – Behind-the-Scenes Improvisation25:48 – The Versatility of Danny DeVito26:24 – The Career of Jeff Daniels29:00 – The Versatility of John Lithgow29:27 – The Replacement of an Actor in the Movie30:13 – The Role of Lisa Hart Carroll31:23 – The Original Casting Choices and the Sequel32:37 – The Impact of the Supporting Cast33:33 – Iconic and Favorite Scenes37:43 – Exploring the Comedy Scenes39:15 – Behind the Scenes with Nicholson40:24 – Intense Dramatic Moments41:18 – Pacing and Rushed Plot42:11 – Impact of Cancer Diagnosis43:20 – Rewatchability and Nostalgia Meter

Hank and Kevin are back with another award worthy episode on absolute nonsense. Topics include - muzak in public bathrooms, bad labor day drivers and fishing with Harrison Ford.  Enjoy! 

How you deliver news to your team has a huge impact on how they react. Whether it's bad news and you want to allay fears, or good news and you want everyone to be excited - the very best way to do this is with a story. In this episode, professional storyteller and Moth host Corey Rosen explains why the way you deliver information matters more than the information itself, and how a single story once saved a company from the inside out. Corey should know: his career started at Industrial Light & Magic, where he accidentally erased Harrison Ford's ear from a Star Wars film, before he went on to work on Jurassic Park, the Star Wars prequels, and Jim Henson Productions. Corey shares the moment his old boss, legendary stop-motion animator Phil Tippett, called an all-hands meeting everyone assumed meant layoffs, and instead told a story that changed the entire mood of the room. Al and Leanne dig into why bullet points make people forget, why stories make people remember, and exactly when a leader should reach for a story instead of just giving the answer. Key Takeaways: How You Deliver News Matters: The same information can create fear or buy-in depending on whether it's delivered as data or as a story. Lead Change With the Why: Before rolling out something new, start with the story behind the decision, not the announcement itself, so people come with you instead of resisting. Know When to Skip the Story: If someone just wants a status update, give them the status update. Save story for moments that need real understanding or buy-in. Facts Fade, Stories Stick: Information delivered as a story activates more of the brain and is far more likely to be remembered and repeated.

With summer largely over, it’s time to turn our attention back to the start of awards season, which kicks off with the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sept. 14. Which shows will lead the way? Season 2 of “The Pitt” seems destined to dominate the drama category. The other categories appear to be a little more wide open. Will “Hacks” get rewarded in its final season, or will a newcomer like “Widow’s Bay” play spoiler? And while “DTF St. Louis” turned into one of the most buzzworthy shows of the past year, the limited series category feels a bit more wide open. In this episode of Streamed & Screened, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz break down the main categories and discuss whether this might finally be the year where Harrison Ford is honored for a strong performance on “Shrinking.” About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is the retired editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, managing editor of the National Newsroom for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin. The show was named Best Podcast in the 2025 Iowa Better Newspaper Contest. Theme music Thunder City by Lunareh, used under license from Soundstripe. YouTube clearance: FV694ULMCJQDG0IY

The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (Chinese: 少林三十六房, also released as The Master Killer and Shaolin Master Killer) is a 1978 Hong Kong martial arts film produced by Shaw Brothers Studio. We discuss many Kung Fu movies and the American films that pay homage. We also reference Episode 445: Movie Songs Better Than Their Movies Part 3. Next week will be the film where Harrison Ford probably says "Get off my sea plane", Six Days Seven Night (1998)  

fWotD Episode 3410: 1923 season 2 Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 5 September 2026, is 1923 season 2.The second and final season of the American neo-Western and period drama television series 1923 was announced in February 2023. As a limited-run series, the program was not originally intended to extend beyond its initial eight-episode order. Season two was developed after its creator and showrunner, Taylor Sheridan, determined that the story needed more episodes to reach a proper conclusion. The series is a part of the Yellowstone franchise, and is a sequel to 1883 and a prequel to Yellowstone. 1923 stars Helen Mirren, Harrison Ford, Brandon Sklenar, Julia Schlaepfer, Jerome Flynn, Darren Mann, Isabel May, Brian Geraghty, Amina Nieves, Michelle Randolph, and Timothy Dalton.Sheridan wrote all eight of the season's episodes. The series revolves around a generation of the Dutton family, and is set in Montana, in the United States, between 1923 and 1924. The Duttons face the struggles of winter and attempt to protect their ranch against those who wish to develop and profit from the land. Other storylines revolve around a newlywed couple who have been separated and are attempting to reunite, and a fugitive Native American schoolgirl who is being sought in Oklahoma and Texas. Some arcs include fictionalized versions of real people and events.Similar to the first season, the production team planned on filming most of the season in Butte, Montana, beginning in June 2023, but delays caused by the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes led to the moving of principal photography to Austin, Texas, and the surrounding areas, although some location filming took place in Montana. Recording began on July 8, 2024, and concluded in November; the show's cast and crew experienced difficulties with extreme weather in both regions. The second season received a budget of $22 million per episode; Ben Richardson directed all eight episodes, and Brian Tyler and Breton Vivian composed the score.The season was released on the streaming platform Paramount+ from February 23 to April 6, 2025. Two soundtrack albums were released; the first on the day the season began and the second on the day it concluded, and home video sets were published in August. It received mostly positive reviews, particularly for its technical aspects such as acting, writing, costuming, cinematography, and political subtext; however, some commentators criticized the show's large cast, melodramatic feel, and a sadistic storyline featuring two sex workers. Season two was noted for its positive economic impact in Montana and Texas. It also set viewership records. The season received several accolades and award nominations, most notably for its locations, production design, and costumes, while media outlets pointed out its lack of Emmy Award nominations.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:47 UTC on Saturday, 5 September 2026.For the full current version of the article, see 1923 season 2 on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

The Empire is coming...This week on The Insanely Dangerous Retropodshow, Dangerous Dave travels back to 1980 and a galaxy far, far away for one of the most celebrated sequels in cinema history...STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACKAfter the extraordinary success of the original Star Wars, George Lucas faced an almost impossible challenge: how do you follow a movie that completely changed popular culture?The answer?Go darker.Go bigger.Separate the heroes.Introduce Yoda.Make Darth Vader even more terrifying.Freeze Han Solo in carbonite.And deliver one of the greatest revelations in movie history.Officially released in 1980 and directed by Irvin Kershner, The Empire Strikes Back took Luke, Han and Leia into a much darker second chapter as the Empire relentlessly hunted the Rebel Alliance.⏰ WHAT HAPPENED WAY BACK WHEN? – 1980Before heading to Hoth, Dave fires up the retro time machine and revisits 1980.There's music from Pink Floyd, Blondie, The Police, Barbra Streisand and Motörhead, while the movie section remembers The Shining, Airplane!, Friday the 13th and The Blues Brothers.On television, we're remembering Magnum, P.I., Hi-de-Hi!, Hammer House of Horror, The Adventure Game and a young Tom Hanks in Bosom Buddies.Then Retro Headlines revisits some of the major events making news in Britain and America as the new decade got underway.⭐ DANGEROUS DEEP DIVE – MAKING EMPIREThen it's time for the main event.Dave explores the enormous challenge of following Star Wars and how George Lucas took a huge financial gamble to maintain creative control over the sequel. Lucasfilm itself describes Lucas as effectively gambling the company's future by investing his own money in the production.We look at Irvin Kershner taking over the director's chair, the development of the screenplay and why Empire feels so different from its predecessor.Then we head into the movie itself...❄️ THE BATTLE OF HOTHThe Rebels have been discovered.The Empire attacks.And suddenly enormous AT-AT walkers are marching towards Echo Base.Dave revisits the Wampa attack, Han rescuing Luke from the freezing wilderness, Snowspeeders wrapping tow cables around AT-AT legs and one of the greatest opening battles in science-fiction history.But there's something important about Hoth...The Rebels don't win.They escape.And that sets the tone for everything that follows.

In this episode, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2023, the year intrepid explorer and archeologist Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones, Jr. returned to the silver screen as a very old man in a movie about a dial of some sort of destiny. But the randomizer didn't pick that legacy sequel, it picked a tie-in documentary about the very legacy that led to that sequel in the first place, a legacy that very nearly prominently involved Tom Sellick until fate mercifully intervened and instead cast the legendary thespian from some Space Battles movie of some sort who also went on to appear in such OTHER legacy sequels as Blade Runner 2049, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and of course The Expendables 3.

No one can ruin a terrorist's day like Jack Ryan can. Which is why we're revisiting Harrison Ford's first outing as the titular character: a CIA analyst who apparently thought retirement from the agency meant he could simply take a family vacation without someone trying to kill him. And nothing quite says “I'm done with the CIA”  like immediately getting sucked right back into it with both Darth Vader and Mace Windu backing you up.So grab your passport, hide your family, and join us as we revisit "Patriot Games," a movie where Haarrison Ford saves the day, gets promoted, gets traumatized, and probably doesn't get a refund on his vacation.Make a film recommendation for an upcoming episode!Thank you for listening!

Jonathan and JP cover the long middle — eleven years, three films, roughly $165 million combined box office on budgets totalling nearly $180 million. None of them hits.First, K-19: The Widowmaker. The most defensible of the three — a genuinely ambitious film directed by Kathryn Bigelow, edited by Walter Murch, shot by David Fincher's cinematographer, based on a true Soviet nuclear disaster that was classified for 28 years. Ford was paid $25 million for approximately 20 days of filming and was advised by everyone around him not to take the role. He took it anyway, specifically because Vostrikov wasn't a hero. The surviving crew members sent an open letter objecting to the film. It opened to $12 million domestically on a $90 million budget, ten months after September 11, asking American audiences to empathise with Soviet naval officers. Bigelow's next film was The Hurt Locker, which won her the Oscar. The character of Polenin is based on the man many historians believe prevented World War Three during the Cuban Missile Crisis the following year.Then Firewall. The same Beacon Pictures team that made Air Force One tried to recapture that film's formula. They did not succeed. Ford was found sitting on the airport baggage carousel during a Vancouver shoot, going around in circles on his phone. Virginia Madsen thought his personal voicemail offering her the role was a prank call and didn't return it. Paul Bettany kept being told his punches were too soft until he finally hit Ford at full strength — Ford's response was "that's it." 18% on Rotten Tomatoes. The premise is stronger than the execution. The dog GPS sequence near the end is as bad as advertised.Then Paranoia. Ford in a supporting role behind Liam Hemsworth, reunited with Gary Oldman sixteen years after Air Force One with the dynamic inverted. 5% on Rotten Tomatoes — lower than Catwoman. Opened to $3.5 million domestically. Oldman didn't attend the premiere. The distributor filed for bankruptcy two years later. Jason Hall co-wrote the screenplay and went on to write American Sniper the following year. Richard Dreyfuss appears in a small role and his scenes with Ford are the warmest thing in the film, which tells you everything.Between 2002 and 2013 Ford made eight films outside of Star Wars and Indiana Jones. None of them worked. The question for the episode: was the decline inevitable, or were there different choices available? And is the commercial disappearance of Harrison Ford the movie star the same thing as the disappearance of Harrison Ford the actor?

The essential biography of the influential and beloved filmmaker George Lucas. On May 25, 1977, a problem-plagued, budget-straining independent science-fiction film opened in a mere thirty-two American movie theaters. Conceived, written, and directed by a little-known filmmaker named George Lucas, the movie originally called The Star Wars quickly drew blocks-long lines, bursting box-office records and ushering in a new way for movies to be made, marketed, and merchandised. It is now one of the most adored–and successful–movie franchises of all time. Now, the author of the bestselling biography Jim Henson delivers a revelatory look into the life and times of the man who created Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Indiana Jones in George Lucas: A Life (Little, Brown and Company, 2016) If Star Wars wasn't game-changing enough, Lucas went on to create another blockbuster series with Indiana Jones, and he completely transformed the world of special effects and the way movies sound. His innovation and ambition forged Pixar and Lucasfilm, Industrial Light & Magic, and THX sound. Lucas's colleagues and competitors offer tantalizing glimpses into his life. His entire career has been stimulated by innovators including Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola, actors such as Harrison Ford, and the very technologies that enabled the creation of his films-and allowed him to keep tinkering with them long after their original releases. Like his unforgettable characters and stories, his influence is unmatched. Brian Jay Jones is the author of the New York Times bestseller Jim Henson: The Biography, as well as Becoming Dr. Seuss: Theodor Geisel and the Making of An American Imagination and Washington Irving: An American Original. His most recent book is The Capitol: The Surprising Biography of an American Building. He continues to believe that Han shot first. Daniel Moran's writing about literature and film can be found on Pages and Frames. He earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers, he teaches writing and co-hosts the long-running podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics, available here on the New Books Network and wherever podcasts are found.

In this episode, Chris Cochrane guest-hosts for his brother Ray and devotes the whole show to one event: Disney’s D23 2026 fan convention in Anaheim. Friday night delivered Marvel’s new X-Men cast, Adam Driver as Mister Sinister, a fresh Avengers: Doomsday trailer, and a release date for Frozen 3. Saturday turned to the parks, with Villains Land, an Indiana Jones dark ride, the long-awaited Expedition Everest yeti repair, and a Monsters Inc land opening in 2027. – Want to start a podcast?

Instead of six or eight unrelated stories, the entire episode covers Disney’s D23 convention, which he compares to Apple’s WWDC. For newcomers, he notes that D23 is Disney’s official fan club, named for the company’s founding year of 1923. This year’s event ran two nights at the Honda Center: Friday for movies and television, Saturday for the theme parks. Marvel Finally Casts the X-Men Friday’s headline was the X-Men. The Associated Press put the crowd near 12,000, and Marvel Studios used that stage to name its rebooted team. Christopher Abbott plays Professor Charles Xavier, Inde Navarrette plays Rogue, and Maya Boyd plays Storm. Adam Driver rounds out the group as the villain Mister Sinister. Meanwhile, Samara Weaving, Kit Connor, and Sadie Sink were already known as Emma Frost, Cyclops, and Jean Grey. Jake Schreier directs, and the film arrives May 5, 2028. Chris calls the lineup spot-on casting. He singles out Weaving as a perfect match for the comics, and he points out that Sink already appeared as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Navarrette is the least established name, coming off a breakout role in an indie horror film. Boyd, meanwhile, was the name he knew least, with what he believes is a Broadway background. Above all, Chris hopes Marvel does the team justice, and he recommends the animated revival X-Men ’97 on Disney+ as the best place to start. Frozen 3 Gets a Date and a Chaotic Reveal Frozen 3 lands November 24, 2027. That is the Wednesday of Thanksgiving week, the same slot the first two films used. The story centers on Anna and Kristoff’s wedding, which a new villain, an evil Ice Queen, disrupts. Jennifer Lee returns to direct with Trent Correy, and the full voice cast is back. However, the reveal itself fell apart. Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel performed a darker arrangement of “Frozen Heart.” Meanwhile, the audio failed, the video failed, and a set of doors never opened. Menzel asked the crowd whether they should try it again, and Bell simply narrated everything that was supposed to happen. Afterward, Josh Gad sang “Oooh, Samantha,” a new love song for Olaf. Chris is here for it, since Olaf is one of the franchise’s best comic characters. Pixar, Disney Animation, and the Rest of Friday Night Pixar chief Pete Docter laid out a packed slate. Incredibles 3 hits summer 2028 and follows Violet and Dash sneaking out at night to fight crime. Chris hopes that finally shows a grown-up Jack-Jack. Coco 2 follows in November 2029 with Benjamin Bratt returning as Ernesto de la Cruz. That has fans puzzling over how a villain already in the Land of the Dead comes back. Additionally, Pixar showed an original called Ghost Market and a Venice-set cat film called Gatto. On the Disney Animation side, Zootopia 3 is confirmed. The live-action Tangled arrives March 31, 2028 with Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel. Chris considers that casting perfect after her turn in Agatha All Along. A live-action Lilo & Stitch sequel, a new Simpsons movie, a Bluey movie, and a Kingdom Hearts anime series round out the list. For Star Wars fans, Ahsoka returns January 20, 2027. Chris also offers a hot take: he prefers Rogue One to the entire sequel trilogy. Consequently, he welcomes original stories like Ryan Gosling’s upcoming Starfighter. Adam Driver Is Mister Sinister Driver appeared by video rather than in person. He told the crowd that he and Kevin Feige had talked for years about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then he announced he would play Magneto. After a long pause, he corrected himself to Nathaniel Milbury, which is Mister Sinister’s human alias. The gag landed because fans had floated Driver for Magneto for years. For anyone new to the comics, Chris explains that Mister Sinister is a geneticist obsessed with mutant DNA, a manipulator rather than a brawler. The cast met backstage only minutes earlier, so Chris is curious how their chemistry develops. Notably, Christopher Abbott previously worked with Driver on HBO’s Girls. The script comes from Beef creator Lee Sung Jin and The Bear co-showrunner Joanna Calo, two prestige-television names that have Chris excited. Why the X-Men Took Thirty Years to Reach the MCU A business story underlies the casting. In the 1990s, a financially struggling Marvel sold film rights to raise cash. Fox ended up with the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, and Sony took Spider-Man. As a result, Marvel Studios built its connected universe from 2008 onward without some of its most famous characters. The Hugh Jackman era of X-Men films belonged to Fox, with a separate continuity and no crossovers. That changed in 2019, when Disney closed its $71 billion purchase of 21st Century Fox’s film and television studio. Most coverage framed the deal as a streaming play, but it also brought the X-Men home. Chris sums it up neatly: Disney signed the paperwork in 2019, cast the film in 2026, and audiences see it in 2028. Ryan Gosling’s Starfighter, Ghost Rider, and VisionQuest Lucasfilm dated Star Wars: Starfighter for May 28, 2027. Gosling plays Kade Auberon, a pilot from the wrong side of the galaxy tied to the fastest starfighter ever built. Before he walked out, Disney played clips of him as a kid on The Mickey Mouse Club. Gosling said the company changed his life then and is changing it again now. He is also playing Ghost Rider in the Marvel universe. That thrills Chris, since Nicolas Cage last carried the character on the big screen. Meanwhile, the Disney+ series VisionQuest arrives October 14. Paul Bettany returns as Vision and James Spader as Ultron, and the trailer drops the two androids into oddly mundane human situations. Bettany joked that Vision has “rather inconveniently died several times.” Chris agrees the character has been through the wringer since WandaVision. The Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Avengers: Doomsday opens December 18, with Joe and Anthony Russo directing. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Hayley Atwell introduced the new footage. It offers the clearest look yet at Downey as Doctor Doom, who fights off Thor and takes his hammer. Evans appears as Captain America holding a baby, and Ian McKellen shows up as a haggard, long-haired Magneto. One quieter shot has Doom staring at a portrait of a lost wife and child. That frames him as a grieving avenger rather than a world-ender. He also commands an army of comic-accurate Sentinels. The cast pulls from the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the legacy Fox X-Men, including Patrick Stewart. Hugh Jackman also appeared on screen to say he is willing to return as Wolverine, though that was not a confirmation. Chris, a self-described Marvel nerd, closes with a theory. He suspects the MCU’s Tony Stark was actually Victor von Doom, adopted by the Starks, which would explain the Downey casting. He also predicts the Fox-era X-Men die off in this film and that Thor may be the major casualty. If it happens, he wants credit for calling it.

Disney Parks Around the World Saturday’s Disney Experiences showcase covered parks, resorts, and cruise ships, with Neil Patrick Harris hosting. Hong Kong Disneyland gets an Avengers pavilion that reshapes its Stark Expo skyline. Shanghai Disneyland is building the first land devoted entirely to Spider-Man, complete with a new coaster. Since Spider-Man is his favorite hero, Chris hopes to visit once it opens. Closer to home, Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is doubling in size with two rides opening in 2028. Avengers: Infinity Defense brings back Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Chris Hemsworth, and Downey, while Stark Flight Lab adds Brie Larson. A Coco boat ride into the Land of the Dead is also coming, with no height requirement. Chris admits he prefers California Adventure to Disneyland because the rides are better. Overseas, Disneyland Paris will retire its Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain overlay at the end of 2027 and restore the original Jules Verne theme. Paris also gets the first ride ever based on The Lion King. Tokyo Disneyland adds Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue, the first Wreck-It Ralph ride, plus a Space Mountain launch sequence designed with YouTuber Mark Rober. Finally, Disney Cruise Line announced three more ships, including the Disney Believe in 2027 and an entirely new class in 2029. Back in Anaheim, Tomorrowland is getting reimagined, which Chris welcomes because the land badly needs an update. The Magic Happens parade and the Remember Dreams Come True fireworks are both returning. For the tech crowd, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run now has a Fortnite crossover, where in-game missions unlock content on the real ride. Every New Walt Disney World Ride and Land Chris ranks the Florida parks Hollywood Studios first, then Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom leads the announcements with Villains Land, now the official name. It features a Maleficent coaster through an enchanted briar and a boat ride through the Evil Queen’s catacombs. Reporting puts its scale near Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and Glenn Close appeared in character as Cruella to announce it. Piston Peak, the Cars area replacing Tom Sawyer Island, adds two more rides, though their exact names remain unsettled. Additionally, the Carousel of Progress gets new scenes and a recast. Jamie Lee Curtis and Bryan Cranston will voice Mom and Dad starting late spring 2027. Chris, invoking Heisenberg, calls Cranston the GOAT. At Animal Kingdom, the Indiana Jones ride now has a name: Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent. It tells an original 1950 story inside a Maya temple, and Harrison Ford personally served as the physical model for the animatronic. Nearby, the Tropical Americas land brings Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto, with more than fifty animal animatronics and no height requirement. Then comes the fix park regulars have wanted for years. The Expedition Everest yeti broke soon after the ride opened. Rather than fix it, Disney lit it with a strobe for over a decade, earning the nickname disco yeti. Now it is being repaired and returned to full motion. Chris rates Everest among his top five rides anywhere, and he suggests riding it before the fix so you can compare. Over at Epcot, Spaceship Earth gets its first major story rewrite in nearly twenty years, shifting from communication history to human connection. Dreamfinder also returns to Journey Into Imagination, and Disney Experiences chairman Thomas Mazloum introduced that news with two words: “we heard you.” Mazloum added that Disney has more projects underway than at any point in its history. After this rundown, Chris believes him. Monsters Inc Land Opens in 2027 Monstropolis begins opening at Hollywood Studios in early 2027, but in stages. The headline door coaster will not be ready on day one. It is the first suspended coaster in any Disney park. It also uses Disney’s first vertical lift, hauling riders about forty feet straight up before launching them into the door vault. Instead, the land opens with the Glob Theater’s “Welcome to Monstropolis” show and Harryhausen’s, a working sushi restaurant lifted from the first film. The stage show features an original song by Randy Newman, his first ever written for a theme park attraction. Chris also notes that the restaurant name honors stop-motion legend Ray Harryhausen. Wrapping up, Chris names the X-Men casting and the Doomsday trailer as his favorite moments of the weekend. He hopes to cover more movie news on future shows, and he plugs Dune: Part Three, which also opens December 18. Chris signs off with the usual mentions: GNC Insider at geeknewscentral.com/insider, email at geeknews@gmail.com, the newsletter, and modern podcast apps at podcastapps.com. He also thanks GoDaddy for over twenty years of support. The post Huge Announcements From D23!! #1873 appeared first on Geek News Central.

D23 2026 was stacked — for the first time in a long while, Disney made major announcements for all six U.S. parks, plus Disney Cruise Line and a full lineup of movies. In this episode, Lisa, Debby, Sharpie and Steve give you the fast, fun rundown of everything that matters, with the context and honest takes you only get from planners who've actually been there. Here's what's coming to the Disney parks (and when): Magic Kingdom Villains Land — a new immersive land roughly the size of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, anchored by a Maleficent family coaster and a Magic Mirror dark ride through the Evil Queen's catacombs, starring Ursula, Cruella de Vil, Jafar, Scar and more. Shops, restaurants, and yes — a villains bar with smoky drinks. Ground is already broken. Piston Peak — Frontierland's national-park-themed expansion (replacing Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island) with a Cars-inspired E-ticket, a Mrs. Fritter spinner, and a Ranger HQ lodge with walking trails. Projected for 2027. Carousel of Progress reimagined — new decades (1960s, 1980s, the Y2K millennium, and a "possible future"), new voices from Jamie Lee Curtis and Bryan Cranston, a rumored Walt Disney opening — and hopefully the same "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow."

The Globe Theatre welcome show with Mike & Sulley, Archie's Scared Pig Pizza, the Monsters University Alumni Club, Harryhausen's sushi restaurant, and the Door Coaster (a vault coaster that launches riders ~40 feet in about 4 seconds) coming in a later phase. Disney's Animal Kingdom Tropical Americas — Indiana Jones: Rise of the Jade Serpent (with a Harrison Ford animatronic), an Encanto Casita ride-through, a new carousel, and the largest quick-service restaurant on property. Plus — the Expedition Everest "Disco Yeti" is finally getting fixed. Epcot Spaceship Earth gets a "grand and miraculous" overhaul, and Dreamfinder returns to Journey Into Imagination. Disney Cruise Line First look at the Disney Believe (sailing late 2027), a Moana-and-South-Pacific-themed evolution of the Wish class — plus a new, smaller class of ships debuting 2029 built for underserved ports, growing the fleet to 13.

Zach Braff (Scrubs, Garden State, Shrinking) joins me again this week for a conversation that swings from gut busting funny to genuinely tender. Zach opens up about living with depression, the highs and lows of a creative life, and the shingles nightmare he survived while directing Florence Pugh in A Good Person. We get into the real story behind bringing Scrubs back, rebuilding Sacred Heart from nothing, and what it takes to earn the trust of legends like Harrison Ford and Morgan Freeman. He also gets honest about being hard on himself, losing his dog Roscoe after 17 years, and the rescue that became his best antidepressant. Thank you to our sponsors:
