In this solo episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank finally sits down with the iconic animated film Batman Mask of the Phantasm after years of calling it a major Batman blind spot. He shares his deep love for Batman The Animated Series, breaks down Bruce Timm's distinctive art style, and explores why Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill's performances still define Batman and Joker for entire generations. After watching the movie for the first time, Frank gives his immediate reaction, digging into Gotham's timeless look, the horror-inspired presentation of the Phantasm, and the emotional core of Bruce Wayne's struggle between vengeance and happiness. He connects the film to noir storytelling, classic Batman comics, and the larger DC animated universe, then closes with a fun run of trivia and behind the scenes facts that expand the appreciation for this fan favorite. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro, Challenge Accepted format, and Frank's Batman blind spots 02:30 Bruce Timm's animation philosophy and the look of Batman The Animated Series 04:30 Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill casting stories and why their performances are iconic 06:30 Why the animated series villains work so well and why Phantasm is so intriguing 07:30 First time reaction right after watching Mask of the Phantasm 09:00 Gotham's design, red skies, and Shirley Walker's orchestral score 11:30 Phantasm as a horror figure, camera angles, and visual storytelling 18:30 Bruce Wayne at his parents' grave, the split between Bruce and Batman, and the film's central theme 25:00 Joker's reveal, color palette, and his connection to Gotham's decay 31:00 Phantasm as Batman's dark mirror and what happens when you lose yourself in the mask 34:45 Trivia, comic influences, and fun behind the scenes details Key Takeaways Batman Mask of the Phantasm fills a huge Batman blind spot for Frank and instantly earns a place alongside the best stories from Batman The Animated Series. Bruce Timm's simple musculature, straight line and curved line design, and heavy use of shading create a timeless, stylized Gotham that still holds up today. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill's performances as Batman and Joker remain definitive, from Batman's grounded intensity to Joker's legendary, unsettling laugh. The film uses horror language for Phantasm, with low angles, unstoppable pacing, and ghostlike presence that make the character feel more like a slasher villain. Gotham's red skies, bold silhouettes, and Shirley Walker's orchestral score combine into a powerful atmosphere that instantly recalls 90s DC animation. The emotional core of the story is Bruce asking his parents' permission to be happy, showing how tied his mission is to their memory and how fragile that balance is. Phantasm works as a dark mirror of Batman, showing what happens when someone loses the "Bruce Wayne" part of themselves and falls fully into vengeance. Joker could technically be removed from the plot, yet his presence elevates the movie by contrasting with Gotham's world and quietly proving how smart and observant he really is. The film leans heavily into classic noir structure, complete with twists, flashbacks, and a tragic love story that feels very early 90s yet still emotionally sharp. Behind the scenes, the movie draws from comics like Batman Year One and Year Two, and includes fun sound and design Easter eggs that reward longtime fans. Quotes "That laugh is iconic. That is my childhood." "You forget how good this show is, and the movie by extension, until you see it again." "Phantasm is Batman. Phantasm is Batman." "If he didn't have that alley moment, we would have a villain, not a hero." "It's okay to love Batman. He is a great superhero, and we're so lucky they keep finding new ways to tell his story."

Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas, donde exploramos las profundidades del séptimo arte con una pizca de ironía y un toque de reflexión existencial. Hoy nos sumergimos en las sendas polvorientas de La Larga Marcha, esa adaptación cinematográfica de la novela de Stephen King que en Latinoamérica se bautizó con el imperativo Camina o Muere. Y no es para menos: en este 2025, que parece un año diseñado por el propio King para saturarnos de sus pesadillas, esta película marca la sexta adaptación de sus obras, entre series y filmes. Piensen en ello: desde el simiesco terror de El Mono hasta la vida invertida de La Vida de Chuck, pasando por las intrigas psíquicas de El Instituto, el regreso a Derry en It: Bienvenidos a Derry y el futurista El Sobreviviente, King ha dominado las pantallas como si del mismísimo Rey Carmesí se tratase. ¿Coincidencia o conspiración cósmica? Uno se pregunta si no estaremos todos caminando en su larga marcha narrativa.Pero hablemos un momento de la magia —o el caos controlado— de esta producción cinematográfica. Al timón está Francis Lawrence, el director que ya nos ha guiado por distopías juveniles en Los Juegos del Hambre, y aquí aplica su maestría en tensiones colectivas con un pulso firme. El guion corre a cargo de JT Mollner, quien adapta el texto con fidelidad pero con toques modernos, transformando esa marcha interminable en un comentario sutil sobre resistencia y autoridad. El elenco es una mezcla de promesas y veteranos: Cooper Hoffman, hijo del inolvidable Philip Seymour, encarna a Ray Garraty con una vulnerabilidad que duele; David Jonsson como McVries aporta esa camaradería sardónica que alivia la agonía; y no olvidemos a Mark Hamill que, en un giro magistral, interpreta al Mayor, esa figura omnipotente que vela —o condena— la marcha, mientras Judy Greer añade capas emocionales en un rol secundario, pero poderoso. El proceso de adaptación fue un ejercicio de resistencia: Mollner y Lawrence condensaron la introspección psicológica de la novela en secuencias visuales brutales, ajustando detalles como la velocidad mínima de la marcha de 4 a 3 millas por hora, a petición del propio King, quien argumentó que el original era "demasiado inhumano" para sostenerse en pantalla sin perder credibilidad. ¿Ironía? King, el rey del horror, pidiendo misericordia.En cuanto a la trama, aquí la tienen (sin spoilear el alma de la bestia): en una América distópica, 50 adolescentes emprenden una marcha anual donde el premio es la vida misma. Deben mantener el paso, o enfrentan consecuencias letales. Es un estudio sobre resistencia física y mental, con alianzas efímeras y revelaciones que cortan como cuchillas, todo envuelto en esa crítica social que King teje con maestría.Para algunos de nosotros en este podcast, La Larga Marcha es una de las novelas favoritas de King: cruda, profética, con esa esencia bachmaniana que nos ha perseguido desde la juventud. Las expectativas eran altísimas; después de todo, llevamos más de dos décadas esperando ver esta odisea en la gran pantalla, soñando con cómo capturaría esa fatiga infinita. Así que acompáñennos en este análisis, donde descifraremos sus capas, filosofaremos sobre sus sombras y veremos si, al final del camino, logró estar a la altura. ¿Caminamos juntos?Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbas⁠Correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.com No olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia. ¡Que lo disfruten!#StephenKing⁠ ⁠#CaminaoMuere⁠ ⁠#Cine⁠ ⁠#LaLargaMarcha

Aquesta setmana us portem The Long Walk i Creature Commandos. Comencem amb The Long Walk, on parlem de la traducció, en fem la crítica, expliquem com Stephen King va escriure el llibre, repassem la producció i comentem què té a veure aquesta història amb la guerra del Vietnam. A la part amb espòilers, a partir del minut 28, analitzem les semblances i diferències respecte al llibre: personatges, morts i, sobretot, el final. També ens aturem en els diàlegs, el context polític que desprèn la història, el repartiment i la relació entre Mark Hamill i Stephen King. A 1 hora i 22 minuts entrem en la sèrie d'animació del DCU, Creature Commandos. En fem la crítica, comentem la producció i repassem les trames: primer la història individual de cada personatge, i després la trama continuada amb Pokolistan al centre. Us hi acompanyen, xino-xano, l'Ignasi Arbat, la Marta Sanz, l'Aram Bonmatí i en Dani Solé, traductor audiovisual, com a estrella convidada.

Greg Alba, Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey dig into the haunting adaptation of Stephen King's novel (written under Richard Bachman) directed by Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, I Am Legend). Starring Cooper Hoffman (Ray Garraty), David Jonsson (Peter McVries), Mark Hamill (The Major), Judy Greer (Ginnie), and a cast that includes Garrett Wareing, Roman Griffin Davis, Charlie Plummer and Ben Wang. The plot: fifty teenage boys are forced into an annual televised walking contest — maintain three mph non-stop or you die. The winner gets a huge cash prize and one wish. We break down everything: the gruelling pacing, the power of camaraderie, Ray vs Peter dynamic, the Major's ruthless regime, moral collapse, hidden references to King's book, the commentary on surveillance, desperation, and how far one can walk when the stakes are life or death. We also dive into standout moments — the first execution when someone slows down, the chilling “Three warnings then shot” sequence, emotional breakdown scenes in the march, the final confrontation and what the ending really means. Whether you're searching “The Long Walk explained”, “Stephen King Long Walk adaptation reaction”, “Cooper Hoffman The Long Walk review”, or “The Long Walk ending breakdown”, this reaction covers every step.

Zo was previously in a galaxy far, far away, where he witnessed fantastic events. He was then transported to another part of that same galaxy to witness those same events play out in almost the same way, but in an even weirder and goofy manor. He's now returned to the original part of that same galaxy which had somehow got even worse, weirder, goofier, and somehow sadder. It seemed like something that held enormous promise, but turned out to be a fantastic disappointment. That's the problem with holidays. They're supposed to be a time to celebrate, but they sometimes turns out so bad that it can drive a man to drink. In this part of the galaxy the star wars continue through the holidays and the denizens are determine to make the holidays special in these dark times.

The bizarre, incoherent ‘Star Wars Holiday Special' was broadcast only once, on 17th November, 1978. Despite CBS signing up the stars of the original movie - Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill, the plot swapped epic battles for a bizarre variety show filled with cameos from Harvey Korman, Bea Arthur, and Jefferson Starship. The story revolves around Chewbacca's family as celebrate “Life Day” on their home planet, Kashyyyk. George Lucas' initial vision was for a sombre, character-driven tale. But instead, it evolved into a chaotic blend of guest star sketches, dodgy green screens, and musical numbers. Lucas reportedly hated it so much he wished to destroy every copy with a sledgehammer. Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why Fisher ended up singing a new song to the tune of John Williams's Star Wars theme; consider how Disney attempted to scrub the memory of the Special from the Star Wars canon after acquiring Lucasfilm; and contemplate the wisdom of making Wookies - who speak an unintelligible language, with no subtitles - the stars of the show… Further Reading: • ‘The Star Wars Holiday Special: A Retrospective' (Empire, 2009): https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/star-wars-holiday-special/ • ‘Star Wars Holiday Special: Inside the Confusing Christmas Special' (Thrillist, 2017): https://www.thrillist.com/entertainment/nation/star-wars-holiday-special • 'The Star Wars Holiday Special' (CBS, 1978): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxtSX1lg8rE Love the show?

David Goldblum's short film, "Big Rock Burning," is creating a lot of good heat for the pointed questions it's raising since the devastating fires that charred thousands of properties in Malibu and the Palisades (not to mention Altadena), and he joins our program LIVE to talk about his film and the harrowing experiences so many have had since leaving their homes on January 7th, returning to the ashes of a life that so many are struggling to put back together. The film depicts the stories of 49 Malibu residents impacted by the fires, and chronicles the resilient spirit of the residents of Big Rock, and their intent to rebuild. But little has happened in the months that have followed, and while people are still grieving, they want action and accountability. David says residents have been left to fend for themselves to sort through government red-tape and insurance nightmares, and they're growing weary. Their stories have attracted some celeb residents as well, such as Mark Hamill and Ricki Lake, who talks about losing her home and the emotional impact it's had on her and her friends and neighbors. Malibu is a multi-generational community and so many have lived in their homes since childhood. And while it's a peaceful community, it's not without its challenges, too, and the fire dangers are one of them. People know the risks, but many say they don't expect the lack of help and resources from local government, and the film addresses that. Please join our full interview with David Goldblum on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and please encourage your friends to join, too. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

The Boy and the Heron (2023) is the 12th Studio Ghibli animation written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The English dub version features the voices of Christian Bale as Shoichi Maki, Robert Pattinson as the Gray Heron, Florence Pugh as Kiriko, and Dave Bautista as the Parakeet King. The cast also includes Gemma Chan, Willem Dafoe, Karen Fukuhara, and Mark Hamill in other key roles. After losing his mother during the war, young Mahito moves to his family's estate in the countryside. There, a series of mysterious events lead him to a secluded and ancient tower, home to a mischievous gray heron. When Mahito's new stepmother disappears, he follows the gray heron into the tower, and enters a fantastic world shared by the living and the dead. As he embarks on an epic journey with the heron as his guide, Mahito must uncover the secrets of this world, and the truth about himself. Recommendability scores for The Boy and the Heron were mixed, the sprawling nature of the narrative and two hour run time were working against it to give an overall rating of 3.31.

Everyone longs for the glory days—that moment in life or career when everything clicked and it felt like you couldn't miss. On this episode, we're talking about actors and filmmakers who decided, decades later, to try and capture that magic again. From Tom Cruise revving back up as Maverick, to Michael Keaton slipping on the wig and makeup for Beetlejuice once more, to icons like Harrison Ford, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Mark Hamill stepping back into their legendary roles—we're digging into what it means when stars revisit past hits. We also look at directors like Tim Burton, Ridley Scott, and Roland Emmerich returning to the worlds that made them famous, and comic book legends Frank Miller, Chris Claremont, and Jim Starlin revisiting their signature creations and stories. Oh, and we've got a confession about this version of Sidebar that fits right in with this theme. Plus, we ask: – What really drives these creative run-backs—fan service, nostalgia, or the quest for relevance? – Do these returns add to a legacy, or water it down? – And is there any "nostalgia porn" we'd actually welcome?

Laura makes her glamorous (and slightly awkward) red carpet debut at the San Diego Film Festival, and it's everything you'd hope for—glitz, chaos, and a few unexpected celeb moments. Which star was totally down-to-earth and cool? Which huge name completely dissed her? From dazzling gowns to near disasters with the mic, Laura's first red carpet experience is pure comedy gold. Then Erik takes over with an epic Double D Showbiz Report—spilling the latest J-Lo drama, dishing on the A-lister who literally eats out of the trash, and dropping a few fresh movie reviews you'll want to hear before hitting the theater. Fun times, wild laughs, and a little Hollywood sparkle—thanks for catching us every week. We love you for it!

Acaba otro festival, el de Sitges, y precisamente desde allí llega el primer estreno que presentamos esta semana: La vida de Chuck de Mike Flanagan con Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill y Chiwetel Ejiofor. Adapta un relato corto de Stephen King. También hablamos de la nueva de Julia Roberts Caza de brujas, que se vio en Venecia y dirige Luca Guadagnino. Ayo Edebiri y Andrew Garfield le acompañan en el reparto. Un simple accidente ganó la Palma de Oro en el festival de Cannes. El director es Jafar Panahi. Good Boy es la historia de un perrete que ve cosas extrañas. De miedo. Y acabamos con La deuda. Dirigida por Daniel Guzmán, combina thriller y cine social. Recordando a Diane Keaton os decimos adiós, hasta la semana que viene.

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! Mark Hamill siempre será Luke Skywalker. Su interpretación del jedi marcó su carrera en uno de sus primeros papeles y desde entonces ha tenido que luchar contra ello. Sin embargo, tras 50 años de carrera ha compartido rodajes con directores tan diversos como John Carpenter, Samuel Fuller, Jess Franco, Mike Flanagan, Kevin Smith o Matthew Vaughn. Tras su paso por la primera saga de Star Wars, fue el primer Amadeus en su versión teatral y se embarcó en una reputada carrera como actor de doblaje que le ha llevado a encarnar a personajes como el Joker animado y muchos otros más, Un auténtico fan de la cultura pop, que comparte muchas de nuestras aficiones: fan acérrimo de los Beatles y coleccionista de cómics y memorabilia. Uno de los nuestros que merece nuestro sentido homenaje y que a día de hoy tiene status de leyenda. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Short and sweet episode this week as Derek is on a much-deserved vacation. Jeff and Amir give a quick review of The Long Walk, the latest Stephen King adaptation. A movie that grew with its buzz, it features some of the best performances of the year in Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson, but is it enough to carry its relatively simple premise for 108 minutes? Plus, an in-depth discussion of a long history of Stephen King movies.

**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS**In this episode of Film is Lit, we're joined by our good friend and fellow Stephen King enthusiast, Mike Feser, as we take "The Long Walk" - both literally and figuratively - through the 2025 film adaptation of King's chilling 1979 novel. It's a faithful adaptation, depicting a harrowing journey that tests more than stamina, and we're here to break down every grueling mile: the performances, the tone, and that shocking ending. Plus, we talk about Mark Hamill's SECOND Stephen King role of the year - trading in the sweet grandpa from "The Life of Chuck" for what is basically Uncle Sam (in shades!).

Anthology October continues with another set of stories that have us wondering if the main nerd could actually get it. Are you a bourbon in the parking lot with Wes kind of folk or a game of billiards with a werewolf sort? Do you like your hair from a can or wriggling in the back of your throat? Do you prefer Luke Skywalker with blue eyes or his brown eye? Cigarette math, the Tom Bosley hair club for men (of which we are presidents somehow) and almost Mark Hamill's butthole. It's John Carpenter's Body Bags, this time on Doom Generation!

“Ballad of a Small Player” star Colin Farrell talks about his new movie, where things stand now in his career, what's next with entries like “The Batman 2” (slated to begin production in 2026) and more. Later, “Star Wars” icon Mark Hamill talks about his career, the joy of working on his new film “The Life of Chuck,” and the stories that continue to make him one of Hollywood's most treasured performers.

STAR WARS: STARFIGHTER is coming to theaters in 2027 and is currently in front of cameras as we speak, and this week, fans were surprised by the first image from location was shared online by director Shawn Levy. We look closely at the photo for insight and clues about the upcoming Ryan Gosling film. We're still recovering from RFR at Rancho Obi-Wan and we're sharing our accounts of the weekend, from behind-the-scenes to travel horror stories.We also feature listener feedback about the epic event and we show off all the swag. ANDOR won for best writing in a drama at the Emmy awards last weekend and writer Dan Gilroy was there. We listen to his acceptance speech and the interviews that took place following his well-deserved win. Plus, we have recent Mark Hamill interview comments covering all aspects of his career and more!

This past July, Vespe and Breznican moderated the San Diego Comic-Con panel for The Long Walk. Now you get to hear the audio from that panel as well as a post-panel discussion with Mark Hamill, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, screenwriter JT Mollner, and producer Roy Lee. You'll never guess the two very distinct connections between Star Wars and Stephen King that Hamill reveals, plus you get to hear everybody's Stephen King origin story.

In this episode, we review the 2025 dystopian survival thriller The Long Walk, based on Stephen King's 1979 novel of the same name, starring Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Ben Wang, and Mark Hamill. We discuss whether the premise of the movie stayed consistent with the realities of the human body, and we debate whether we enjoyed the ending. Learn more about your ad choices.

Step Brothers  Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence asks audiences to take a Long Walk in Stephen King's shoes for the 2025 movie adaptation of the horror writer's 1979 dystopian novel. Why has Mark Hamill gone to the Dark Side, using brute force to make 50 teenage boys march down America's post-apocalyptic highways until only one is left standing?  And who in this fresh-faced cast, which includes the latest Karate Kid and the “Andy” from Alien Romulus? Will the son of Philip Seymour Hoffman break away from the pack and become a major film star in the future?  Listen to Find Out!

Stephen King adaptations are back and bigger than ever with The Long Walk, a movie about a long walk but if you don't walk good enough Mark Hamill will kill you. We also talk the most current and best news including our first look at Doctor Doom from Avengers: Let's Pay Robert Downey Jr Fifty Million Dollars, kudos for David Zslav (normal man), a price increase for HBO Max, sequels for Jurassic World Rebirth (understandable) and the Last Witch Hunter (nonsense), trailers for Wake Up Dead Man and Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the Highlander reboot delayed and more!

Mark Hamill gets that you probably know more about Star Wars than he does and he's ok with that. In fact, he's so ok with where he's at in his career, he's really not worried about what comes next. Mark talks with Marc about his early days on soap operas, the faith he had in Star Wars being a big hit while they were making it, the casting troubles he came up against in Hollywood that made him seek work on Broadway, and the voiceover acting that changed his career. They also talk about his connection to Late Night with David Letterman and his recent work in two Stephen King adaptations, The Life of Chuck and The Long Walk. Hosted on Acast.
