They also cover the news that disgraced actor Jonathan Majors is set to star in an upcoming action film produced by conservative media company The Daily Wire, founded by Ben Shapiro. Finally, they unpack the controversy at this year’s BAFTAs, where Josh Davidson, a man with Tourette’s whose life inspired a nominated film, shouted a racial slur while Sinners stars Michael B.

Fifty years on from the death of painter LS Lowry, the BBC has made a documentary featuring recently discovered recordings made in the last years of his life. Recorded by Lowry fan Angela Barratt over a period of four years, the tapes have been lip-synced for the documentary, with Ian McKellen playing Lowry and Annabel Smith as Barratt. Art historian Verity Babbs and curator of the Lowry Collection, Claire Stewart, join Samira Ahmed to discuss the painter's life and legacy. Actress Neve Campbell shot to fame playing the lead role of Sidney Prescott in Scream in 1996. She went on to appear in five of the six sequels - and now returns for another battle with the Ghostface killer in Scream 7. Francis Spufford is the award-winning author of Golden Hill and Light Perpetual. His new novel, Nonesuch, tells the story of a young woman who must thwart an occult plot by time-traveling fascists during the chaos of the London Blitz.And Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw reacts to last night's BAFTAs, as well as the winner of the Berlin Film Festival's coveted Golden Bear Award.

On this episode, the X-Men meet the JPI-Men in the clash of the millennium. It's the concession stand kids vs the black leather mutants. James & Nick tackle the original X-Men trilogy in 2026 leading up to their appearance in Avengers: Doomsday. We discuss little known fun facts, the Bryan Singer controversy, and how this movie kicked off a quarter century run for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. As good of a jumping off point this film was for superhero flicks, we can't help but think how much better it would've looked in yellow spandex. Thanks for tuning in.

Hoy seremos “De función pública” (por separado no defunción todo junto), libro de Jaime Izquierdo, el de “La casa de mi padre”, (publicado por KRK Ediciones) defensor como Henri Medras del “arte de la localidad” para referirse al conjunto de normas, instituciones y saberes locales de los campesinos.Bienvenid@s a un bosque habitado por la “civilización rústica”. Un concepto que encontramos en Miguel Unamuno, cuando se dispuso a escribir tras una reunión vecinal en una aldea de Cantabria, en la que se repartían, ordenada y democráticamente, las suertes del prado del concejo.Jaime, seguidor, como Alejandro Casona, de la Institución Libre de Enseñanza, nos insta con esta colección de artículos-relatos (al más sorprendente estilo narrativo de la fantasía lúdica pero realista, de Álvaro Cunqueiro) a reconocer a las comunidades campesinas clásicas como la “sociedad reloj” en referencia a la precisión, la exactitud y el rigor con la que desarrollan las tareas del campo. Que también lo decía Levi- Strauss, por cierto.Jaime Izquierdo nos deleitará con las historias de Mino el de Somiedo, de Manolo el de San Esteban, de Bertu el de Cangas de Onís, los hermanos Niembro de Asiegu, de Kiko el de Cudillero, de Covadonga la del Puertu, la de Gamonéu de Onís… Animados por la peculiar música de territorio de la Ronda de Boltaña, de El Naán y de Rodrigo Cuevas. Héctor Castrillejo de El Naán nos habla de su pueblo, Tabanera del Cerrato, que está cobrando una nueva vida gracias a las iniciativas de poetas, músicos y albañiles. Nos acompañan, en esta misión pública de conciencia rural, el botánico Raúl Alcanduerca y la escritora ecoactivista Maite Mompó.También escucharemos parte monólogo del actor Ian McKellen, condenando los asesinatos del ICE (por cierto, citando a Shakespeare): "Este es el caso de los extranjeros y esta vuestra inhumana crueldad". Club de la Hojarasca: Pilar Socorro y Álvaro Soto (a quién agradecemos su compromiso Ubuntu con este bosque).Y ahora cierra los ojos, imagina un nuevo mapamundi con tus paisajes y paisanos locales, los más locales, agradece a l@s cult@s campesinas la pública función de alimentarnos y bendice el ancho de la tierra que habitas, sin duda, territorio conmovido… ¡Arriba las ramas!HT: #LoPublicoRadio3Escuchar audio

New leaks show us Ian McKellen isn't just making a cameo in Avengers Doomsday but making history!

President Trump made misogynistic comments to CNN's Kaitlan Collins, Speaker Mike Johnson claims to know more about The Bible than the Pope, and journalists are outraged at Jeff Bezos over mass layoffs in the newsroom at The Washington Post. Stage and screen legend Ian McKellen sits down for an extended conversation with Stephen Colbert about his long career as a performer, reprising his roles as Gandalf and Magneto in upcoming films, the unique joys of live theater, and the Shakespeare role he originated in the 1960s which resonates just as loudly today.

Frank is joined by Joe, aka "Muscles of the Multiverse," to talk Marvel storytelling from the comics page to the MCU screen, then go all-in on Disney+'s Wonder Man after its eight-episode drop. Joe breaks down what he does on YouTube, why he started the Reading the Multiverse podcast, and how he approaches Marvel adaptation trends without expecting (or wanting) a 1-to-1 translation. From there, the episode shifts into a full Wonder Man discussion: why the show works as a character-first story, how it balances comedy with real stakes, and why the Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery dynamic ended up being the surprise engine of the season. The conversation also gets into Simon's anxiety and identity pressure, the Department of Damage Control angle, the "Doorman" detour episode, and what all of this might be setting up for mutants and the next big MCU era. Timestamps and Topics (major beats) 00:00 Intro and guest welcome: Joe "Muscles of the Multiverse" 00:30 Joe's content approach: MCU-to-comics explainers + Reading the Multiverse podcast 02:15 Quick MCU news: Ian McKellen "destroyed New Jersey" comment and what it could imply 05:10 Wonder Man first reactions: why it's landing better than expected 06:40 Character-driven Marvel: Simon's relatability, anxiety, and hiding "who you are" in Hollywood 09:00 Acting as the hook: standout performances, "meta" acting scenes, and why Trevor works now 18:10 Wonder Man powers explained: ionic energy basics and how the MCU might simplify the lore 20:10 Bigger MCU threads: Vision/Wanda possibilities, mutant framing, and Damage Control as a warning sign 30:45 Episode balance talk: comedy vs drama, and why the Doorman episode hits so hard 41:00 What's next for Simon: hero-by-proxy theory, team potential, and final scores 44:40 Disney+ marketing debate: why some shows feel under-pushed and what Marvel can fix 50:35 Recommendations: The Ultimates (Deniz Camp) and revisiting Schitt's Creek 53:10 Joe's upcoming work: Doctor Doom deep cuts, Fantastic Four read-through, and the editing grind Key Takeaways Wonder Man works because it treats Simon Williams like a person first, superhero second. The show's comedy lands because the stakes stay real in the background, especially with Damage Control looming. Trevor Slattery is fully recontextualized here: still funny, but also weirdly wise and essential to Simon's growth. The Doorman episode is a standout swing that doubles as a Hollywood critique and a superhero fatigue commentary. Joe's breakdown of Simon's ionic-energy comic history highlights why Marvel rarely does strict comic-to-screen adaptation. Damage Control and the "quota" vibe point toward a wider MCU theme: institutional fear of powered people. Mutant groundwork is starting to feel less like a sudden switch and more like a slow social shift in-world. Both hosts land at a 9/10, with the only "missing point" being more about feel than a specific flaw. Memorable Quotes "There's usually never a 1 to 1 adaptation." "I didn't know that I needed more Trevor Slattery in my life. But now I do." "Mephisto is not going to be in everything." "It felt like it was made to be for an episodic TV show." "You can't help but root for Simon." Call to Action If you enjoyed this episode, make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss the next review and interview.

In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we react to a clip of Ian McKellen talking about a stunt setup and joking that he “destroyed New Jersey” while filming Avengers: Doomsday. We unpack what “New Jersey” could mean inside the MCU, from Kamala Khan and the mutant breadcrumb in her series, to WandaVision and the Scarlet Witch family connection from the comics. Then we lay out an alternate theory that this is a different universe entirely, with Cyclops, Sentinels, and Trask Industries vibes, all while Doctor Doom level multiverse chaos could be colliding everything at once. We also touch on the Super Bowl trailer talk and what to realistically expect.00:00 Intro and the “destroyed New Jersey” quote setup00:08 Ian McKellen describes the stunt moment with lifted cars00:44 Theory 1: New Jersey as Kamala Khan and the MCU's mutant thread00:59 Theory 2: WandaVision connections and the Scarlet Witch angle01:18 Theory 3: A non-MCU universe with Cyclops, Sentinels, and Trask Industries01:35 Big-scale battle speculation with Doctor Doom and incursions01:56 Super Bowl trailer expectations and quick news roundup02:15 Wrap upThe “destroyed New Jersey” line gets walked back immediately, but it's still a fun clue to read into.If it's MCU New Jersey, Kamala Khan is the cleanest connection, especially with her mutant tease.WandaVision adds a second strong NJ anchor, and the Scarlet Witch family link could be a story shortcut if they want it.A multiverse angle may fit better than trying to establish too much mutant backstory inside one event movie.The alternate-universe theory points toward classic X-Men visuals: Trask Industries, Sentinels, and a battlefield built for Cyclops and Magneto.Doctor Doom and incursion-style stakes would make “leveling a whole region” feel like a natural escalation.“I did destroy New Jersey the other day. Oh, I perhaps should have said that.”“These were not special effects.”“As one does.”“My personal theory is that it's not actually the 616 Marvel or the MCU Marvel.”If you enjoyed this breakdown, subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines, leave a review, and share the episode using #GeekFreaks.

If you're wondering what NOT to do when adapting your novel, there are great tips in this episode. We've all experienced the feeling of walking out of a cinema and saying, the book was better. That's definitely the case for The Golden Compass. I've read the book and thoroughly enjoyed it plus the book won the Carnegie Medal which means it's excellent. So how did such a good children story go so wrong when it was adapted for film? That is the question we answer in this episode.

Is LucasFilm finally preparing to announce Kathleen Kennedy's replacement… or is something else going on behind the scenes? On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the latest report suggesting Lucasfilm is setting up new co-presidents and what that could mean for the future of Star Wars, Disney, and the studio's leadership moving forward. We'll also be talking about the brand-new Avengers trailer dropping this morning and what impact it could have on Marvel's upcoming slate. Plus, Bond rumors continue to heat up as Callum Turner is reportedly emerging as a frontrunner for 007. We'll discuss whether he fits the role and what direction the franchise may be heading. In Middle-earth news, Ian McKellen confirms that Gandalf — along with Frodo — may be returning in upcoming Lord of the Rings projects. What does that mean for the future of Tolkien adaptations? And finally, James Wan has expressed interest in directing Avatar 4 — so we'll explore whether that pairing makes sense creatively and commercially.

Let's breakdown the Doomsday trailer featuring Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, and JAMES MARSDEN! 

Episode Title: "From Carnage to Cleavage" - Planet of Fire Review PLANET OF FIRE (February-March 1984) Writer: Peter Grimwade (his final Doctor Who work) Director: Fiona Cumming (her last story, dating back to The Highlanders) Location: Lanzarote, Canary Islands - chosen after Cumming promoted it with holiday photos! THE SHOPPING LIST EPISODE: Peter Grimwade faces an enormous writing burden with his final Doctor Who script - a literal checklist: Introduce Perry, reintroduce Kamelion (and write him out), fill in Turlough's background, bring back the Master and kill him off, and oh yes, set it all in Lanzarote because we want a holiday! PERI: The accent is terrible, the acting is broad, the costumes are... strategic. But she's a complete 180 from Tegan, which makes her "a refreshing change" in Jim's words. Also: Why does Fiona Cumming, a female director, go along with the obvious cheesecake shots? THE QUESTION: Why was Turlough sent to Earth instead of being on the ship with the others? THE DEATH: The Doctor hesitates as the Master burns in the flames. Both hosts question whether he could've saved him (echoing the Davros dilemma from Resurrection). KAMELION'S END: The prop finally works by having Kamelion transform into Howard (Perry's stepfather) and then the Master. Jim asks the obvious: "Why didn't they just do that all along?" THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WOUND THEORY: Jim theorizes that while previous Doctors showed physical deterioration before regeneration, Davison is being psychologically and mentally wounded - all the ethical dilemmas (Davros, the Master, Kameleon) are wearing him down, setting up the regeneration. LOCATION WORK: Both hosts praise the Lanzarote filming and volcanic landscapes doubling for Sarn. Jim wanted more of the shipwreck dive sequences. The café scene where the Doctor leaves alien money behind stands out as atypical behavior. THE SOPHIE ALDRED ACE PODCAST UPDATE: John reports the interviews barely discuss Doctor Who - Sylvester McCoy talks about pissing off Richard Burton and friendship with Ian McKellen; Katy Manning discusses life philosophy ("Every day is a blessing"). The hosts approve: "We've heard all the Doctor Who stuff for years!" NEXT TIME: The Caves of Androzani - "Once daily Androzani! Major and minor!" The end of Peter Davison, the introduction of Colin Baker, and the return of Robert Holmes! Subscribe on all platforms. Email thedoctorsbeardpodcast@gmail.com.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, FROM THE BMC! Join hosts Dominic Lawton & Ken B Wild as they cover the only festive film of the month and the most requested Christmas film by our listeners. It's the 1987 classic - SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT PART 2! The guys discuss festive eyebrow raising, festive recaps of the previous film and GARBAGE DAY!!! Meanwhile, Dom enjoys the umbrella death scene, whilst Ken pops up throughout the film in minor but incredibly annoying roles! The film pitch makes a return for Christmas and sees Bruce Willis as a down-on-his-luck and perennially hungover cop on the hunt for a serial killer known as Slay Bells, offing his victims in the style of the song "The 12 Days of Christmas." The MO is strikingly similar to someone The Christmas Chief of Police Carl Weathers had put behind bars years ago. Is it a copycat or did The Chief finger the wrong man? It's SLAY BELLS: THE 12 SLAYS OF CHRISTMAS! Starring Bruce Willis, Halle Berry, Finn Wolfhard, Dominic Lawton, Ken B Wild, Patrick Stewart as Ian McKellen and Carl Weathers as Police Chief Carl Weathers!

Impressionist, pianist, poet and star of The Big Impression Alistair McGowan takes us behind the scenes of his career. Along the way he does impressions of Louis Theroux, Harry Kane, Raymond Blanc, David Hockney, Alan Bennett, Alfred Hitchcock, Frank Skinner, Richard Madeley, Alan Shearer, Jo Brand, Dara Ó Briain, Monty Don, Gareth Southgate, Ronnie Corbett, Sven-Göran Eriksson, John Bishop, David Beckham, Ian McKellen, Martin O'Neill, Alan Hansen, Philip Mould, John Major, John Smith, Paddy Ashdown, Gordon Brown, John Parrot and Mikel Arteta.

Dec. 5- 11: Ian McKellen is an anti-hero, Kevin Bacon is a dog, the Father of the Bride is back, Seinfeld is sponge-worthy, The Simpsons perfect the clip show, big screen geishas and Narnias, George Clooney kills for oil, The Office does a Yankee swap, Adam Sandler heads to Netflix, and Chris Hemsworth takes to the sea. All that and more from 30, 20, and 10 years ago.

Following in the footsteps of The Princess Bride, this star-studded Romantic Fantasy is narrated by Ian McKellen and is a wonderful tale of a small countryside town that borders a magical land. A young man must venture into the magical world to retrieve a fallen star.

This week, we look at the forgotten 1994 action flick The Shadow and find a surprisingly fun little romp, studded with absolute stars like Alec Baldwin, Penelope Ann Miller, Tim Curry, a young Ian McKellen, John Ione, Sab Shimono, Koop, Neelix, Bob the guardian angel, Willie Tanner, and so many more! Thrills! Chills! Spills! They're all here! We like it!

What a week Sarah Crompton and Alex Wood have had! Not only did they have a trip to Panem to sample the stage adaptation of The Hunger Games (the results left a lot to chew on), but Sarah's been down to Middle Temple Hall to celebrate a brand new initiative to help make Shakespeare more accessible in schools, courtesy of the Foyle Foundation and the RSC (with a helping hand from Helen Mirren, Adjoa Andoh and Ian McKellen). Meanwhile, Alex has been chatting all things new seasons with Alan Cumming, who just unveiled his brand new programme at Pitlochry Festival Theatre Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episodio donde Wisto cumple sus tareas, donde hay villanos que están muy equis físicamente, nos hacemos la pregunta de cuánto costaría vivir como Scaramanga (villano de James Bond), Ian McKellen da la noticia que empezarán una película con Gandalf, Gollum y Frodo dirigida por Andy Serkis, la historia perdida de Tolkien, opinión de Pari sobre la película anime de Demon Slayer, Wisto da su reseña complementaria de Tron: Ares, y terminamos con la reseña con spoilers sobre Black Phone 2.

Med ett kortare avstamp i verkligheten konstaterar vi snart att nazi-ockultism är en kitschig subgenre mer än något annat, sitt allvarliga namn till trots. Nils kallar The Keep från 1983 för ett trasigt mästerverk och blandar i en dos nostalgi i sin bedömning av Hellboy från 2004. Tomas kallar båda filmerna för röriga men är bara riktigt förtjust i den ena. Vi pratar också, bland mycket annat, kort om: runologi, pseudovetenskap, Tors hammare, Shock Waves, Indiana Jones, Död snö, In the Mouth of Madness, Manhunter, Ian McKellen, Scott Glenn, När lammen tystnar, Gabriel Byrne, Michael Mann, Alberta Watson, John Hurt, Guillermo del Toro, Doug Jones, Ron Perlman, Selma Blair och Rasputin. För patrons följer också prat om ytterligare två filmer där visst fokus läggs på monsterdesign och kreativa lösningar gjorda på minimala budgetar. Mycket nöje!

On today's episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by acclaimed screenwriter, director and author, Tim Sullivan. Tim's screen credits include A Handful of Dust, starring Kristen Scott Thomas, Where Angels Fear to Tread, starring Helen Mirren and Helena Bonham Carter, Jack and Sarah (which he also directed) starring Richard E Grant, Judi Dench and Ian McKellen and Letters to Juliet, with Amanda Seyfried. Tim has directed the television series: Sherlock Holmes and Cold Feet. Tim has written extensively in Hollywood in both live action and animation, working with Ron Howard, Scott Rudin and with Jeffrey Katzenberg on the fourth Shrek movie. He has now embarked on a series of crime novels featuring the autistic, and brilliantly persistent DS George Cross, which have hit shelves in the United States this fall.

“Don't you love being famous?” Halloween on the podcast has arrived, and we're starting things off with a tribute to the LGBT horror icon James Whale. As the subject of the 1998 Bill Condon film Gods and Monsters, a partially fictional take on the last days of his life. The small moving film won Condon an Oscar for adapted screenplay and nominated its star Ian McKellen and a scene-stealing Lynn Redgrave as his housekeeper.  Oscars they probably both should have won; don't worry, we get into it! The movie also brought Brendan Fraser's career to the next level as a hunky gardener who develops an unlikely friendship with Whale when he agrees to sit for the director to sketch. We talk about the queer people that helped build the horror genre and Whale's contributions with films like Frankenstein. “To a new world, of Gods and Monsters!”  Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

My guest this week is writer Mark Waddell. His novel, Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World, comes out next week on October 7 — a queer story about an office worker whose career advancement involves world-ending consequences. There's an autobiographical edge to the story, since in his real life Mark had a dream job going back to childhood… and it was only after he achieved it that he realized just how harmful his dreams were, and decided to leave it all behind to become a writer.We'll have that conversation in just a minute. First, a few announcements: As I'm sure you know, I make YouTube videos about iconic movies and TV shows, and I have a brand new video out now about the movie Kiss of the Spider Woman — and how it was made in defiance of the film industry, in defiance of Ronald Reagan, and in defiance of multiple fascist dictators. That's available now at youtube.com/mattbaume.The topic of next month's video is the iconic 1931 Frankenstein film and its maker, James Whale — and in his honor, for the entire month of October I'm hosting livestreams of films by and about James Whale. Join me every Saturday and Sunday on Twitch for movies like The Old Dark House, The Invisible Man, Gods and Monsters starring Ian McKellen and Brendan Fraser, and of course Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein. These films helped define a century of scary movies, and they are incredibly queer. It all starts this Saturday October 4 at noon pacific at Twitch.tv/mattbaume.

All the best bits from Saturday and Sunday's Off the Ball shows in one petty and ill informed place. Limericks, Live music and Laughs plus one of our guests gets accused of cheating in a pub quiz by Gandalf himself - Ian McKellen. Plus the Terracing Teaser and Seagull XI with slam poet and presenter Len Pennie, Falkirk folk-punk band Brogeal and quiz supremo Paddy Duffy.

Many far-right conservatives think The Lord of the Rings is about them. They may love Tolkien, but it's very possible Tolkien would not have loved them back. This episode was produced by Peter Balonon-Rosen with help from Ariana Aspuru, edited by Jolie Myers, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Noel King.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 5, 2025 is: contentious • kun-TEN-shuss • adjective Contentious describes something that is likely to cause people to argue or disagree or that involves a lot of arguing. When used of a person, contentious describes someone likely or willing to argue. // I think it's wise to avoid such a contentious topic at a dinner party. // After a contentious debate, members of the committee finally voted to approve the funding. // The dispute involves one of the region's most contentious leaders. See the entry > Examples: “Next up will be Peter Shaffer's ‘Amadeus,' which opened in 1979 and won the Tony for best play in 1981 with Ian McKellen winning lead actor honors. ... The story is a fictional account of the contentious relationship between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his rival, Antonio Salieri, the court composer of the Austrian emperor.” — Jessica Gelt, The Los Angeles Times, 12 June 2025 Did you know? If everyone has a bone to pick now and then, contentious types have entire skeletons. While English has plenty of words for people prone to fighting—combative and belligerent among them—contentious implies a fondness for arguing that others find particularly tedious or wearying. Thankfully, even the most contentious cranks and crabs among us have no cause to quibble over the history of the word contentious, as its origins are very clear: contentious comes (by way of Middle French) from the Latin adjective contentiōsus, meaning “persistent, obstinate, argumentative, or quarrelsome.”
