What's your favorite creature feature of all time? This week, we're diving deep into the murky Amazon to revisit the 1997 cult classic Anaconda. From giant snakes to even bigger egos, we're breaking down everything that makes this wild adventure a so bad it's good fan favorite.We'll talk about the star-studded cast. Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, and more. How their performances either elevated or unhinged the movie. But here's the real question: with the limitations of 90s CGI, would Anaconda have been better off keeping its killer snake in the shadows?Also up for debate: who's the real villain here, the 40-foot anaconda or the unhinged snake hunter Paul Serone?We'll also explore whether Anaconda has any deeper meaning beyond its jungle thrills, from man vs. nature themes to the dangers of exploitation and obsession.Then we wrap things up with our ratings and a few fun creature feature recommendations that slither in the same lane.So grab your gear, avoid the snakes, and hit play because this week, we're hunting the hunters.

(Originally posted on June 30, 2023) It's the Chevy Chase/Dog film you never knew existed! Eddie Ham and Mattalamode drop the show once again as we dive into the feverish world of Bob Clark's The Karate Dog, a family film about Dirt Nasty and a CGI dog getting revenge for the death of Pat Morita. Oh, and Jon Voight is there and he's, uh uh, cranked up to 11, baby! 

The summer blockbuster season is in full swing, and we're diving into everything from Superman's ongoing cultural impact to the controversial use of AI in filmmaking. The Man of Steel continues to dominate conversations weeks after release, with fans still discovering Easter eggs and collecting merchandise that's flying off shelves faster than a speeding bullet.We explore the shifting landscape of animation as Spider-Verse gets pushed to 2027, raising questions about how long anticipation can realistically build before audiences move on. Meanwhile, television excellence gets its due with Emmy nominations showcasing standout performances on shows like The Bear, where Ayo Edebiri makes history with her third consecutive nomination.Perhaps most provocatively, we tackle Netflix's admission of using AI for an entire scene in a recent film – cutting production time by 90%. Where's the line between technological advancement and creative compromise? Is this the CGI revolution all over again, or something more concerning for the industry's future?Our deep dive into Amazon Prime's "Heads of State" examines how streaming platforms have created a new middle ground for action comedies that wouldn't necessarily thrive in theaters. John Cena and Idris Elba's chemistry carries this turn-your-brain-off adventure that perfectly embodies the streaming formula. We contrast this with "I Know What You Did Last Summer," a nostalgia play that struggles to justify its existence beyond name recognition.Looking ahead to Fantastic Four's imminent release, we can't help but get excited about the collectible popcorn buckets (particularly the impressive $80 light-up Galactus) while contemplating what Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards might mean for his already meteoric career trajectory. Whether you're a casual moviegoer or dedicated film buff, our conversation captures the pulse of this extraordinary moment in entertainment.

(Airdate: 7.21.25) We've got the latest on Andy Byron, the tech CEO who kissed his job goodbye after getting caught on the Coldplay kiss cam—with someone who wasn't his wife. Then, meet the real star of Superman: Krypto the Super Dog, whose CGI charm has sparked a 500% surge in dog adoptions. But experts say, paws off if you're not ready for the commitment. And finally, Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell spill the financial tea—turns out they've kept their money totally separate for all 18 years of marriage. Drama. Dogs. Dollars. Let's go. #WhoCaresNews #KissCamChaos #SuperDog #SeparateAccounts And @HalleBerry Listen to the daily Van Camp and Morgan radio show at: https://vancampandmorgan.com/stations buy us a coffee    

EPIC SUPERSIZED SUPERMAN ANALYSIS!  *Links in bio - please check out our video episodes on Spotify and YouTubeThe year's most eagerly anticipated film soars into theatres and Watch Skip Plus gives you a KRYPTON-sized critical analysis of the James Gunn-directed superhero epic. Eschewing pluses this week, WilDaBeast and Cupcake are joined by Pod-Father Sam U. Rai from the Gentleman's Guide to Midnite Cinema podcast and “Fakest of Shemps” Jeremy (who guested on our recent Oscars episode and creamed us with his spot-on predictions). Get ready for a  stripped-down (image-free) roundtable discussion about the pop culture impact of Superman, James Gunn as a filmmaker, the cast, the CGI, and whether this first film…the charter voyage for the new DC Studios (RIP Snyder-verse) and the first chapter of the proposed “Gods and Monsters” DC media-verse…is worthy of the hype/relaunch/reboot of a storied DC character or if it's yet another failed attempt for DC and a misstep for Gunn (who has dabbled now in BOTH DC and Marvel franchises). LOOK UP IN THE SKY….IT'S A BIRD!

Jurandir Filho⁠, ⁠Felipe Mesquita⁠, ⁠João Pimenta⁠, ⁠Evandro de Freitas⁠ e ⁠Bruno Carvalho⁠ batem um papo sobre CGIs, aberturas e cutscenes que impactaram muito quando apareceram nos jogos de videogame. Durante a era dos 32 bits, especialmente na segunda metade dos anos 1990, uma verdadeira febre tomou conta do mundo dos videogames: as apresentações em CGI (imagens geradas por computador).

Na transição dos gráficos pixelados do 2D para um 3D ainda em construção, essas animações foram um diferencial poderoso para atrair jogadores e transmitir emoção, drama e escala épica.Para quem cresceu jogando em consoles 8 e 16 bits, ver personagens realistas se movendo com fluidez, com iluminação, câmera dinâmica e efeitos especiais era quase mágico. Era como ver o futuro acontecer diante dos olhos. As CGIs permitiam contar histórias com mais impacto.

Episode 290: Jurassic Park Rebirth – Sexy Dinos & T-Rex Set Pieces

FIRST 1:00:30: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 1:00:30: Full Spoiler Review It's another edition of See It or Skip It and this time Ian and Liam are trading pit stops for popcorn as they take on F1 (2025) — the high-octane feature debut of Joseph Kosinski's long-rumoured Formula 1 blockbuster. But with Brad Pitt behind the wheel and a grid full of fictional racers, does F1 actually cross the finish line, or is it just burning fuel for two hours? Ian and Liam are here to rev their engines and break down whether this racing drama earns pole position among sports films or stalls out on the formation lap. Does F1 deliver the speed, spectacle, and spirit of the sport, or does it take a detour into Hollywood clichés, CGI corners and an extended advert for F1, Tommy Hilfiger, Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi? What should an F1 movie really accomplish in its opening lap? Is this a thoughtful love letter to motorsport fans, or a flashy pit stop for casuals with a need for speed? The boys examine whether the fictional Apex GP team is worth rooting for—or if they're just coasting off the Ferrari fumes. All this and more in this week's See It or Skip It review of F1 (The Movie)—and of course, Ian and Liam let you know if you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

This week on Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas unearth The Mummy (1999) and debate whether this fan-favorite adventure deserves a spot in the official Challenge Accepted Top 100 list. Originally challenged by Australian podcast pal Aaron Brasher from Fandom Portals, the duo dives into everything from the film's wild plot and iconic action to its CGI, practical effects, and Brendan Fraser's action star moment. They unpack what holds up, what doesn't, and why this movie might be the perfect time capsule of late '90s popcorn cinema. Timestamps & Topics: 00:00 Introduction & who challenged this movie 02:00 First impressions: childhood memories and DVD nostalgia 04:00 Two-minute plot rundown (with chaotic energy) 06:00 Brendan Fraser: action hero or accidental legend? 09:00 Can this franchise come back—and should Fraser lead it? 11:00 Comparing Rick O'Connell to Indiana Jones 13:00 Evelyn's character: damsel, badass, or both? 18:00 Imhotep's motivations and why he's low-key sympathetic 22:00 Side characters, comic relief, and iconic moments 24:00 Filming in Morocco and creating believable heat 25:30 The good, the bad, and the beetles of CGI 30:00 Why Brendan Fraser's fight choreography still holds up 33:00 That Egyptian score and the power of a strong soundtrack 35:00 Mid-budget movie magic: why we need more like this 38:00 Behind-the-scenes fun facts: near-death moments and more 44:00 Historical accuracy vs cinematic fun 46:00 Cast reunion and the movie's lasting cult status 47:30 Top 100 decision time—does it make the cut? Key Takeaways: Brendan Fraser choreographed much of his own action—legend. The Mummy walks the line between camp and craft, with charm to spare. This is a film that thrives on practical effects, strong chemistry, and a sense of fun. While some moments feel dated, the core still entertains in 2025. It's a solid contender for the Challenge Accepted Top 100, but is that enough? Quotes Worth Repeating: “Rick O'Connell is 90% action hero, 10% lucky idiot—and that's why we love him.” “Imhotep didn't ask to be cursed. They turned him into the villain.” “This movie feels hotter than Dune—and everyone's actually sweating.” “It's not just nostalgia, this thing's still fun start to finish.” Call to Action: Think The Mummy deserves a Top 100 spot?

The Kaiju Hollywood Bad Boys Luke, Brandon and Martin finally make a triumphant return to the Godzilla franchise (the whole dang reason they started this podcast!) with Podzooky favorite Tyler Jackson to talk Godzilla vs.Megaguirus. You'll be surprised at how long it's been since they've dished out on a zilla film! Highlights include Cat and the hat and self love, terrible CGI and our Robocop remake.

We tackle the Bad Movie all star, The Happening (2008). for our second to last entry into our Shyam-uly month! As M. Night Shyamalan's first "R Rated" horror movie, this film is mostly remembered for the laughably terrible dialogue, extremely thin plot, and atrocious CGI. We've enjoyed all these actors in other projects, but this was an amalgam of bad ideas, hubris, and cringeworthy memorable one liners.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a movie with the weight of the future of the entire DCU and Warner Bros. filmography on its back! No small task... It's "Superman!" Directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult. Perhaps no film this year HAS to be as great as this one needs to be. Can it possibly live up to the challenge? No. No it can't. We're sorry to say. But let's at least talk about it. Spoilers begin at roughly the 7:00 mark, and some small spoilers may be contained in the text below. 00:00 - Intro / We're very important people AKA Amazon Prime subscribers 01:42 - What Keith thought 03:46 - What Ev thought 05:23 - This film fails to meet the massive expectations it kinda needed to meet 07:12 - "This movie is like a sequel to a movie that was never released" AKA you need to have at least something of a pre-existing relationship with this IP going in 09:08 - This film is too crowded with too many characters and too many conflicts 13:42 - The character development that is here is good, but there's not enough of it, particularly for Lois Lane 16:40 - Is this movie solely for diehard Superman fans? And if so... why? 19:53 - The kitschy tone of everything 24:10 - The Snyderverse wasn't exactly great but at least there were stakes 26:38 - Thank God that CGI dog was around to save the day every single time AKA will our hero ever win on his own? 31:17 - The film is very well cast with solid performances - Keith loves Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Ev loves David Corenswet as Clark Kent 34:37 - Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific is the best part 36:40 - Why do women love Jimmy Olsen so much and why is that so key to the plot of this film? 42:03 - Lois Lane flying the spaceship is stupid 44:56 - James Gunn knows better and has made better films before... Why do all the emotional moments here fall flat? 51:05 - Flashbacks to "Wonder Woman 1984" OH MY GOD NO 55:36 - Is this film going to make people excited for what's to come?

Folge #227: The Ballad of Wallis IslandZwischen K-Pop, Action und leisen Tönen Von Schreibstilen, High-Fantasy-Marathons und einer herzerwärmenden Insel-Ballade! Nach einem kleinen Einstiegs-Diskurs über konstruktive Kritik, die Tücken des Schreibens und die Frage, ob man eher sachlich oder emotional textet, starten Timo und Zeljko in eine Folge, die eine Premiere feiert: Sie haben gleich drei Filme gemeinsam gesehen! Doch zuerst berichtet Timo von seinem wochenendlichen Solo-Marathon: Er hat sich die komplette Hobbit-Trilogie im Extended Cut angesehen. Sein Fazit: Auch wenn die Filme unterhaltsam sind, erreichen sie bei weitem nicht die epische Qualität von The Lord Of The Rings. Zu viel offensichtliches CGI und eine für ein kleines Buch zu aufgeblähte Story trüben das Erlebnis, auch wenn die Rückkehr nach Mittelerde trotzdem Spaß gemacht hat. Danach stürzen sich die beiden auf From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. Ana de Armas liefert als rachsüchtige Tänzerin eine starke Performance ab. Der Film braucht sich hinter der Hauptreihe nicht zu verstecken und überzeugt mit kreativer, saftiger Action – Stichwort: Flammenwerfer! Ein wilder Ritt, der beweist, dass das Universum auch ohne Baba Yaga im Zentrum funktioniert. Ein weiterer Film, den beide gesehen haben, ist K-Pop: Demon Hunters. Hier gehen die Meinungen allerdings auseinander: Während Timo von der bunten Mischung aus Dämonenjagd und eingängigen Pop-Songs positiv überrascht und bestens unterhalten wurde, konnte der Film Zeljko nicht ganz abholen. Eine kleine Debatte über die Nuancen von K-Pop und J-Pop inklusive! Der Film der Woche ist diesmal ein echter Geheimtipp und eine Perle des britischen Kinos: The Ballad Of Wallis Island. Die Geschichte zweier Musiker, die auf einer abgelegenen, nebligen Insel wieder zusammenfinden, ist eine wunderschöne, melancholische und gleichzeitig unglaublich witzige Tragikomödie. Mit leisem, trockenem Humor, fantastischen Bildern und wunderschöner Musik ist der Film ein echtes Herzensstück. Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die eine Pause von lauten Blockbustern brauchen und sich auf eine Geschichte mit viel Gefühl und wunderbaren Charakteren einlassen wollen. Eine Folge voller Film-Tipps, unterschiedlicher Meinungen und einer großen Portion Film-Leidenschaft. Also, Ohren auf und ab in die Welt von "Once Upon A Time In Cinema - Der Filmpodcast" – jeden Donnerstag um 18:00 Uhr, überall wo es Podcasts gibt! Inhalt:(00:00) Intro (04:10) The Hobbit 1-3 (13:40) Ballerina (28:10) K-Pop Demon Hunters (46:50) The Ballad of Wallis Island ____ Der Film-Podcast mit Zeljko und Timo Anfragen: ouatic@gmx.de https://letterboxd.com/OuaticPodcast https://instagram.com/onceuponatimeincinema_

Er Jurassic World Rebirth det endelige bevis på, at franchisen burde uddø?Jacob Ege Hinchely og Rikke Collin er tilbage i Betacritic-studiet med en spoilerific anmeldelse af Jurassic World Rebirth, den nyeste film i dinosaur-franchisen instrueret af Gareth Edwards (Rogue One, Godzilla) og skrevet af David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible). Filmen er optaget i blandt andet Thailand og London, og byder på en række intense scener med både nye og gamle dinosaurarter, men også et genkendeligt plot, der for mange ligner en blanding af Jaws og tidligere Jurassic-film.I centrum står Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers) og Scarlett Johansson (Marriage Story, Black Widow), men hvor stærkt står castet egentlig i forhold til effekterne? CGI og visuelle effekter fremhæves som veludførte – særligt i enkelte sekvenser – men spørgsmål om karakterdybde, karisma og produktplacering (hej Snickers!) fylder også i snakken.Derudover løfter Jacob og Rikke en debat om biografkulturen anno 2025. Hvordan skal man egentlig opføre sig, når man går i biffen? Må man tale undervejs? Klappe? Kommentere? Der deles både oplevelser og holdninger – og der bliver ikke lagt fingre imellem.Billetterne til Betacritic: Det store Dellemisshow er nu til salg! Showet finder sted den 29. september på Hotel Cecil i København, og Jacob og Rikke glæder sig til at tage jer med på scenen.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! If you're joining us just after G-Fest, welcome! In this abridged episode of our Patreon-exclusive podcast, you'll hear Nathan and executive producer/MIFV MAX “prime” member Damon Noyes discuss (or rather, riff) a “pseudo-remake” (and by that, we mean “second cousin twice removed”) of Reptilicus with the 2009 SyFy movie Reptisaurus. It claims to be based on the Charlton comic, which was a Reptilicus comic for two issues, but the $15 CGI creature looks nothing like it. And there's no alien named Bob. What about Bob?! Instead, we get a cadre of 35-year-old college students, two bumbling soldiers, and Buck Rogers in his living room, er, office. It may look like an Asylum movie and quack like an Asylum movie, but it isn't an Asylum movie, no matter what Grok may tell you. (Yes, Nathan experimented with X's AI assistant to research this and had to fact-check the robot). Strap in, Kaiju Lovers!

It's just Kevin and Lauren again this week, since Andrew thinks having a life is important or whatever. They talk the Squid Game finale, Jurassic World Rebirth, Megan 2.0, and Heads of State. The show opens up like last week, with the discussion of the final season of Squid Game. This time, though, Kevin and Lauren come with full knowledge of the finale. If you haven't watched for some reason (seriously, why haven't you?!?) be warned this will be spoiler heavy. Basically, the spoiler free review is, it's a really strong ending to a really great show. No other episode or spin offs need to be created, and yet... But I digress! Next up, Kevin talks Jurassic World Rebirth, starring Scarlett Johanson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali. As far as the Jurassic films go, it's definitely one of the better ones. It's go action, adventure, and a boatload of CGI (that could be better, lets be honest). The story and the heart are there and it leaves the door open for more films, so what's not to love?!? Speaking of things not to love... Megan 2.0... Lauren saw this film and, like the majority of the viewing audience, was left wanting. The film steers away from the horror genre into more of an action film and it seems like it doesn't translate well. The film is problematic in many ways, all of which are detailed by Lauren. So if you need to convince yourself not to see this one in the theater, don't skip this section. Remember, at APNC, we love to watch so you don't have to! Kevin closes the show with Heads of State, a film he was convinced would be in the same category as Megan 2.0. But here's the thing - it's a lot of fun. John Cena and Idris Elba play the US President and the British Prime Minister, respectively. This is an action comedy so we aren't looking towards award season, but they play their parts wonderfully. Look, if you loved the action comedies of the 90s (tink Tango and Cash or anything with Arnie), then you should really enjoy this film. As a massive bonus, it's on Prime and won't cost you a dime! As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe. We love new viewers! Also, leave us comments and let is know how we are doing and what we can be doing better. Enjoy the episode and have a great week!

Looks Like Antarctica Wasn’t the Only Place Superman Crashed This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are talking about the Super(Meh) Opening Weekend Box Office, the last 3 episodes of Murderbot season 1, and they review F1. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Superman Box Office: 7:17 Murderbot: 17:00 F1: 35:55 Superman (2025) Box Office Opening weekend performance: Domestic 3‑day sitting at ~$100–130 million Worldwide debut crossed $200 million Forecasts suggest long‑term haul could reach $1 billion if word‑of‑mouth holds Overall sentiment: Some critics and audiences praised Corenswet's optimistic Superman, slick humor, and DC's tonal reset. Issues cite an overcrowded plot and CGI-heavy final act that didn't fully capitalize on its potential. Murderbot (AppleTV+) Episodes Covered: 8 “Foreign Object”, 9 “All Systems Red”, 10 The Perimeter” Highlights: Ep 8: Secrets revealed—Murderbot admits a shadowy past weaponizing its crew's memories Summary: Murderbot accompanies the PresAux team back to the habitat. The recording of the security cameras shows that in their absence, more superior SecUnits and a representative of the hostile third party—now identified as GrayCris—visited the habitat and left an invitation to meet at a rendezvous point to negotiate terms for their survival. After a security check, the PresAux team take Gurathin to the medical bay. While Bharadwaj performs surgery on Gurathin’s leg, Murderbot plugs into his data port to turn off his sense of pain. The connection allows Gurathin to find out what it calls itself, and that the SecUnit was involved in the deaths of 57 clients, which Gurathin reveals to the group and condemns Murderbot for. Murderbot admits it’s not sure if it killed the clients or not and agrees with Gurathin’s assessment that it could be defective and dangerous, then it leaves the group to go out on its own. The PresAux team concludes that GrayCris is illegally pursuing the alien remnants and that they will liquidate them once they locate their whereabouts. After mulling over whether to abandon or betray its clients, Murderbot comes back and announces that it has a plan. Ep 9: High-stakes deception! Murderbot fakes betrayal to take down GrayCris agents and saves Dr. Mensah in a cliffside showdown Summary: Murderbot puts a dangerous plan into motion, pretending to betray the PresAux team in order to leave the planet. While the team expresses doubts and tension rises, Murderbot keeps the true plan hidden: to have Gurathin hack into GrayCris’s HubSystem using a drone as a transponder and launch their emergency beacon. The ruse includes offering to help GrayCris capture the Preservation team in exchange for being listed as destroyed inventory. Murderbot stalls the enemy using awkward small talk and quotes from Sanctuary Moon, while the PresAux team manages the remote connection. As the plan begins to succeed, GrayCris prepares to torture Murderbot for the information they seek. Mensah intervenes and is caught in the crossfire. In the end, Murderbot shields her from the beacon’s launch blast, which kills the GrayCris team, nearly sacrificing itself. Before Murderbot’s systems fail, it quietly admits to itself that these humans have become its clients not just by contract, but by choice. Ep 10 (Finale): An emotional farewell—post-rescue reprogramming, autonomy restored, and Murderbot walks away into an uncertain future Summary: As Murderbot’s systems reboot, Corporation Rim technicians delete its memory and install a new governor module. At the same time, the PresAux team negotiates with company representatives to find the SecUnit. They offer to buy it and threaten with a lawsuit, but the company refuses, telling them that its memory has been wiped anyway. So Pin-Lee files an injunction to seize Murderbot for evidentiary reasons, while Gurathin manages to retrieve the data that was downloaded during the memory wipe. He locates Murderbot’s personality files by searching Sanctuary Moon episodes. The team saves Murderbot from being destroyed, and Gurathin uploads its personality. It recognises that without its armour it looks like an augmented human. The team invites Murderbot to live as a free agent on their home planet. That night, Murderbot attempts to sneak away but is intercepted by Gurathin, who tries to make it feel welcome. Murderbot insists that it needs to check the perimeter. When Gurathin relents, Murderbot thanks him. Posing as a servant bot, it boards a transport ship that departs as Mensah awakens and realises that it has left.

With Rihanna starring in the upcoming 2025 Smurfs Reboot, we're giving our THE SMURFS (2011) Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review!! Aaron Alexander and John Humphrey go full blue in this nostalgic deep dive into The Smurfs (2011), the live-action/CGI hybrid comedy directed by Raja Gosnell (Scooby-Doo, Beverly Hills Chihuahua). Based on the beloved Belgian comic and 1980s animated series, this family adventure catapults the tiny blue creatures from their peaceful village into the chaos of modern-day New York City after they escape the evil sorcerer Gargamel through a magical portal. The film features a talented voice cast led by Jonathan Winters (Mork & Mindy, The Flintstones) as the wise Papa Smurf, Katy Perry (pop superstar, Jeremy Scott: The People's Designer) as the sweet and sassy Smurfette, George Lopez (Rio, The George Lopez Show) as Grouchy, Alan Cumming (X2: X-Men United, The Good Wife) as Gutsy, Anton Yelchin (Star Trek, Alpha Dog) as Clumsy, Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live, Portlandia) as Brainy, and Paul Reubens (Pee-wee's Big Adventure) as Jokey. On the human side, Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, A Series of Unfortunate Events) stars as Patrick Winslow, a marketing executive who helps the Smurfs find their way back home, with Jayma Mays (Glee, Red Eye) as his supportive wife, and Hank Azaria (The Simpsons, Godzilla) fully embracing the role of the villainous Gargamel in a delightfully over-the-top performance. Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) also appears as Patrick's demanding boss. Packed with slapstick comedy, magical hijinks, and heartwarming moments, the film includes memorable scenes like the Smurfs causing chaos in FAO Schwarz, Gargamel's frantic chase through Central Park, and Papa Smurf's touching leadership that anchors the team. Whether you grew up with the classic cartoons or are discovering these characters for the first time, The Smurfs delivers a colorful, family-friendly ride.

Welcome back! I start with the Update of the wonderful week I had. I then go to Manny's a Reel Boy, where we laugh learn and grow, especially about the storms and Epstein updates, I then Poke My Jokes from Monday at BLVD and have some fun, I tried CGI but Gina was down... anyway enjoy, rate, review and share and I'll see you next week God Willing! IA!

Welcome back to Camp Creep, where the fire's crackling, the marshmallows are mostly ash, and the dinosaurs are somehow still being rebooted. One minute, Tommy James is just getting his steps in, and the next—BOOM—he's teleporting into Sabrina Ace's personal audio nightmare: a soundscape straight from Jurassic Park. Is it a T-Rex? A raptor? Chris Pratt trying to act with his hand out again? As the s'mores burn and the sarcasm flows like dino DNA in a malfunctioning lab, the duo unpacks the timeline from Spielberg's majestic thunder lizard opera to Jurassic World's “corporate synergy with claws.” We're talking about the glory of the original and the “excuse me??” of everything that came after—clicker raptors, invisible dinosaurs, and yes... the locusts. Cloned. Weaponized. And utterly unnecessary. You'll laugh. You'll cringe. You'll probably whisper “life finds a way” as another beloved childhood memory gets stomped into a pile of CGI rubble. Do you like the way Mr. DNA says “Dino-sawrrr” too? Well, if you enroll at Night School Horror and slap us with a 5-star rating, we'll take your DNA, mix it with your favorite dinosaur, and create something truly unholy.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for July 12th Publish Date: July 12th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, July 12th and Happy Birthday to Christine McVie I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett charges dropped against detained journalist Mario Guevara Georgia Power to update energy forecasts amid uncertain demand Lawmakers conclude listening tour on access to cancer care All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett charges dropped against detained journalist Mario Guevara Local journalist Mario Guevara, known for covering Atlanta's Hispanic community and ICE operations, is no longer facing traffic charges in Gwinnett County. Solicitor General Lisamarie Bristol announced insufficient evidence to prosecute charges of reckless driving, unlawful use of a telecommunication device, and failure to obey signs, as the incidents occurred on private property. However, Guevara still faces federal immigration charges, with ICE questioning his legal status despite his work permit and ongoing efforts toward permanent residency. Guevara claims he is being targeted for his journalism, which has drawn local and national attention. STORY 2: Georgia Power to update energy forecasts amid uncertain demand Georgia Power's 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) faces scrutiny for overestimating energy demand, driven by the rapid growth of data centers. Critics, including environmental groups, argue the projections could leave ratepayers covering billions in stranded assets if demand falls short. While Georgia Power committed to updating forecasts and reporting on large-load projects, many called for stronger demand-side management (DSM) efforts to reduce energy needs. The utility plans to increase DSM spending from $90M to $160M annually, but some remain dissatisfied. The PSC will vote next week, with debates ongoing over coal plant operations and natural gas upgrades. STORY 3: Lawmakers conclude listening tour on access to cancer care Around 66,000 Georgians will be diagnosed with cancer this year, with 19,000 deaths expected, prompting state lawmakers to study ways to reduce these rates. Georgia exceeds national averages for lung, prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer, with rural areas facing significant barriers to care due to rising costs, limited access, and medical industry consolidation. Experts highlighted issues like pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) controlling drug markets and low reimbursement rates for clinics. Lawmakers aim to address drug pricing, access to screenings, and systemic healthcare challenges, with plans to continue studying cancer care access and solutions. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: STORY 4: Deputies: Buford man threw deep freezer at 59-year-old at Lake Lanier after fight over nudity A Buford man, Logan Nicholas Young, 42, was arrested on July 3 after a bizarre incident on Lake Lanier involving public indecency, a fight, and a flying deep freezer. Young allegedly got naked on a boat, argued with a 59-year-old man, punched him, and later threw a deep freezer at him, causing a head injury and knocking him into the lake. Deputies found Young hiding under a bed on his houseboat after he ignored their attempts to contact him. He was charged with six offenses, including aggravated assault, and released on bond on July 6. STORY 5: Robert Michener named Gateway85 CID's interim executive director The Gateway85 Community Improvement District (CID) appointed longtime employee Robert Michener as interim executive director following Emory Morsberger's resignation after nearly 20 years of involvement. Michener, with 17 years at Gateway85, previously served as director of operations, overseeing infrastructure, security, and landscaping projects. Board Chairman Shiv Aggarwal praised Morsberger's contributions and welcomed Michener's leadership during the transition. The CID will continue focusing on economic development, mobility, and quality of life improvements as it searches for a permanent leader. Michener expressed excitement about guiding the district's next phase of growth. Break 3: STORY 6: 'Superman' stars excited to bring DC reboot to theaters Edi Gathegi, Isabela Merced, and Anthony Carrigan star in the new "Superman" reboot, with Gathegi playing Mr. Terrific, Merced as Hawkgirl, and Carrigan debuting as Metamorpho. At a red carpet event in Atlanta, Gathegi contrasted his survival as Mr. Terrific with his infamous death as Darwin in "X-Men: First Class." Merced highlighted the mix of CGI and practical sets, comparing her Hawkgirl role to her experience in "Dora the Explorer." Carrigan, excited to bring fan-favorite Metamorpho to life, praised the detailed makeup used instead of CGI. STORY 7: Gwinnett fire investigators say arsonist tried to burn down Lawrenceville home Gwinnett County fire officials are investigating a suspected arson at a Lawrenceville home on Clairidge Lane on June 27. Firefighters responded to a fire alarm and smoke report, discovering an incendiary device behind the home. The fire was out by the time they arrived, and no injuries were reported. Officials are seeking public help to identify the suspect, with a potential reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Tips can be directed to the Gwinnett Fire Investigations Section or the Georgia Arson Control Hotline. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: Ingles Markets 2 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Welcome back to Film Haven Reviews!!! This week (and this summer) we are starting a new "Deep Sea Movie" theme where we cover movies about people way out in the ocean, and today we are talkiong about the ghost thriller Below (2002). This film has such a unique premise, being a WWII submarine thriller mixed with a ghost mystery! Having Bruce Greenwood and Holt McCallany in the film definitely helps dig this film out of B-Horror hell, but I'm still giving this film a 6.5/10 because there was some weak writing and even weaker CGI that keep this film from being a true hidden gem. Still, there is pleny to enjoy with this throwaway thriller and I highly recommend to everyone who loves ghost stories and those who like submarine movies!  For my full written review feel free to follow my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/film_haven_reviews/You can also go to find the video on my NEW youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/@filmhavenreviews

Nathan and Ryan head deep into the swamp for one of the wildest creature features to slither across the B-movie landscape: Attack of the Meth Gator (2023). Riding the coattails of viral drug-animal madness, this low-budget fever dream delivers exactly what the title promises—an alligator fueled by narcotics and rampaging through small-town America. The hosts dive into the film's exploitation roots, outrageous premise, questionable CGI, and the growing trend of "so-bad-it's-good" horror hybrids. Is Meth Gator just a quick cash-in or a future midnight movie cult classic? Strap in—this episode's got bite.

Logic dictates that when swimming, if sharks appear, one should quickly get out of the water. But we're talking Sharknado, so when sharks appear, one should quickly grab a beverage, some snacks and a spot on the couch, because you're going to be ambushed by an onslaught of bad puns, worse CGI and a whole lot of fun. Our sharkfest continues as we attempt to prove that Shaknado 4: The 4th Awakens is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of The Moviegoers Society, we dig into Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest dino-sized attempt to recapture the magic of Jurassic Park — but does it deliver, or is it just another fossilized letdown?We break down our honest reactions to this franchise revival, talking about the bland story, forgettable characters, and those cheesy mutated dinos that just don't measure up to the classic. From the return of the original Jurassic Park screenwriter to the CGI, we ask: Is this the worst sequel yet, or is there still hope for this once-mighty franchise?Does Jurassic World Rebirth breathe new life into this beloved series — or is it finally time for these dinosaurs to go extinct for good?

Welcome back I start with the Update about the fun week I've had including my birthday. I then go to Manny's a Reel Boy where we laugh learn and grow.

Send us a textWe had to go all the way back to the 70s to find a movie where Superman was actually cool and, man oh superman, does this one deliver.  Who needs crappy-looking CGI villains when you have the horrifying Ned Beatty and an ascot-wearing Gene Hackman.  Throw in some pre-meltdown Margot Kidder and the perennial whacked out Marlon Brando and this one writes itself.  We loved this one as boys and couldn't find a reason not to like it still.  But we give it our best shot anyway.

Welcome back to Summer Slash 7, your ultimate horror movie marathon from Binge-Watchers Podcast! This episode takes flight with a deep-dive review of BATS (1999), a creature feature full of genetically engineered horror, wild kills, and a surprisingly committed performance from Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba, Young Guns). We talk mad scientists, cheesy 90s CGI, and why the bats in this movie deserve their own villain origin story.But that's not all—we also revisit Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later, where Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode... again. Is her PTSD legit this time or just another cash-in? We break down the Halloween franchise multiverse (yes, there are four timelines now), why H20 feels like a weird Scream spinoff, and how Josh Hartnett may have been the weakest link in the final girl's family tree.

Investing in yourself is the ultimate career hack. When you believe in your vision enough to create something - even on the side, even without guaranteed success - you open doors that might never have existed. Joseph Kosinski didn't wait for permission; he made a CGI short in his apartment, submitted it to festivals, and that single act of creative courage launched his entire career. His journey proves that investing in YOURSELF, developing your unique POINT OF VIEW, and then putting your work out into the world can transform everything.

Sometimes, the fire of creativity is struck not by lightning but by the slow, smoldering ache of dissatisfaction. And in today's soul-stirring conversation, we welcome Shawn Whitney, a filmmaker who found cinema not in the corridors of academia, but in the quiet rebellion of self-taught screenwriting and micro-budget filmmaking. Shawn Whitney is a screenwriter, director, and founder of Micro Budget Film Lab who empowers indie creators to tell powerful stories on shoestring budgets.Our journey with Shawn begins not in childhood fantasies of movie stardom, but in the dense woods of Brechtian theater and the quiet study of old black-and-white films. His path wandered, as many worthwhile ones do, through rejection, basement solitude, and heartbreak—until something within him demanded not just expression but transmutation. Shawn didn't study film in college. Instead, he emerged from the theater world and fell into filmmaking after a failed workshop production left him broke and dispirited. Yet that fall became his rise. As he said, “I just started writing screenplays and learning the craft in the quiet shadows.”There's something beautiful in learning the art of story not from glamorous sets or high-priced workshops but from the bones of failed experiments and the echoes of dialogue bouncing around your own mind.Shawn described his education not with fanfare but humility—referencing Sid Field, Blake Snyder, and the ever-controversial Save the Cat—tools that became his spiritual guides, not rigid masters. And with every script, he refined a method. Not the method, mind you. A method. “You just need a method. You can't just be anarchy,” he mused.But perhaps what struck me most was Shawn's philosophy that screenwriting is not just structure—it's an argument about what makes life meaningful. Films, he insists, must be animated not by market trends, but by inner turmoil, by the strange flickering passions of the human heart. “It can't just be about chopping up zombies. Your characters must go through an inner transformation.” That idea—that a film is a living question—sets Shawn apart in a world often obsessed with following the formula instead of feeling the pulse.Shawn's micro-budget films—“A Brand New You” and “F*cking My Way Back Home”—aren't just titles that stick. They are rebellious acts of filmmaking born from limited means and limitless creativity.His stories unfold not in sprawling CGI landscapes, but in human longing, funny sadness, and philosophical absurdity. One film follows a man trying to clone his dead wife in the living room. Another explores redemption from the passenger seat of a towed Cutlass Supreme. With a budget of $7,000 and a borrowed tow truck, Shawn pulled off scenes that feel bigger than most tentpole blockbusters.But filmmaking, for Shawn, isn't just about his own expression. Through Micro Budget Film Lab, he's become a teacher, a mentor, and a kind of mad scientist in the alchemical lab of storytelling. His passion is not merely to direct, but to help others break free from the gatekeeping systems that keep fresh stories from being told. “We need a micro budget movement,” he declared, envisioning a cinematic rebellion where filmmakers use what they have to tell stories no one else dares to.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

Lots of boys have grown up wanting to be Superman but perhaps you grew up wanting to be award-winning journalist Lois Lane? Actor Rachel Brosnahan is known for her Emmy-winning portrayal of Midge Maisel in the TV series, The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel, her Emmy-nominated performance in House of Cards and her work on Broadway. Now she's playing Clark Kent's love interest, Lois Lane in the upcoming DC Universe film, Superman. She tells Nuala McGovern about the unusual circumstances in which she found out she had the role and the difficulties of working with CGI. A British teenager who is currently held in prison in Georgia says she was 'tortured' into smuggling drugs. Bella Culley who is 19 and from Teesside, has appeared at a Tbilisi court this week. She has pleaded not guilty to charges of possession and trafficking a large amount of illegal drugs. The BBC's Caucasus correspondent Rayhan Demytrie tells Nuala what's been happening. Jenny Evans was a young actress riding high on the success of her first feature film when she was sexually assaulted by someone who was in the public eye. When she later found the courage to report this crime to the police, details of what she had experienced were printed in a tabloid newspaper. Jenny decided to retrain as a journalist to try and figure out how this could have happened. She went on to help expose the abuses of power in the press and police that have become known as the 'phone-hacking scandal'. Nuala speaks to Jenny about her memoir Don't Let it Break You, Honey. To mark the start of the UEFA European Women's Championship Nuala speaks to BBC Sport's Correspondent Katie Gornall live from Switzerland. She's also joined by DJ, author and podcaster Annie Macmanus who was so inspired by the Lionesses Euro's win in 2022 that she decided to take the sport up herself, in her 40's.
