Does Spider-Noir get its blend of noir and superheroes right? In the 2018 film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Nicolas Cage gave us a taste of a black and white, film-noir Spider-Man who talked in Dashiell Hammett dialogue. That cameo has spun into a full series that's streaming on Prime Video. If you like off-the-wall superhero adaptations, check out these episodes:Marvel's ‘Wonder Man' is a low-key, low-stakes buddy comedy In 'The Penguin' a C-list villain gets an A-list seriesConnect with Pop Culture Happy Hour:Letterboxd / FacebookOur weekly newsletterSupport Pop Culture Happy Hour+See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Take pleasure in the gut-wrenching excitement of a 90s action milestone! This week on The Dana Buckler Show, we are heading straight to Alcatraz to break down Michael Bay's 1996 definitive high-concept thriller, The Rock.Coming off the success of Bad Boys, Michael Bay was handed the keys to a massive blockbuster budget, a killer premise, and an absolutely legendary cast. The result? A beautifully shot, fast-paced, explosion-filled masterpiece that stands as a high-water mark for the golden era of 90s action cinema and Hollywood summer blockbusters.In this cinema retrospective, film historian Dana Buckler dives deep into: The Powerhouse Trio: The incredible, lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry between Nicolas Cage's frantic, vinyl-loving FBI chemical weapons expert Stanley Goodspeed and Sean Connery's sophisticated, badass British operative John Patrick Mason. The Sympathetic Villain: Ed Harris's brilliant, nuanced performance as General Hummel—an antagonist with legitimate, tragic motives that elevate the stakes way beyond a standard hostage situation. The Pinnacle of 90s Action: From the iconic, destructive Ferrari car chase through the streets of San Francisco to the brutal shower room standoff, we break down why the practical effects and set pieces in this film still hold up today. The Uncredited Script Doctors: How Hollywood legends like Quentin Tarantino, Aaron Sorkin, and Jonathan Hensleigh secretly helped polish the razor-sharp dialogue. Whether you're a long-time fan who can quote "Your best! Losers always whine about their best" line-for-line, or you're revisiting this classic Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer production era for the first time, grab your green smoke and join us for the ultimate film review.Welcome to The Rock!Join our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/danabucklershowJoin my Patreon for early access to all episodes, plus a new exclusive podcast, go to Patreon.com/howisthismovieSubscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast platform by going to https://linktr.ee/DanaBucklerShowJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/danabucklershowJoin Our Patreon for early access to all episodes, plus a new exclusive podcast, go to Patreon.com/howisthismovie #TheRock #TheDanaBuckler Show #90sAction #NicolasCage #SeanConnery #MichaelBay #FilmPodcast #MovieHistory #CinemaRetrospective #ActionMovies #90sCinema #FilmBuff

Episode Summary Nicolas Cage finally gets to be Nicolas Cage, and Frank has thoughts. This week the guys are back in studio to break down the new Spider-Noir series, the ElevenLabs deal recreating Stan Lee's voice that has fans up in arms, and the freshly revealed Minecraft Movie Squared logo and Matt Berry casting. Along the way they realize the Herobrine creepypasta they believed for years was apparently made up the whole time. The back half turns into a full 2026 mid-year check-in, ranking the year's biggest surprises like Wonder Man and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms while looking ahead to Clayface, Spider-Man Brand New Day, and House of the Dragon. Then comic writer Bill Stoddard joins to talk Murder Mouse, the gleefully unhinged book Frank describes as Chuck E. Cheese meets Disneyland meets an 80s slasher flick. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro, In-Studio Catch-Up, and Patreon Thanks 02:32 Minecraft Movie Squared and the Herobrine Myth 08:10 Stan Lee's AI Voice and the ElevenLabs Backlash 16:42 Spider-Noir Review 25:22 2026 Mid-Year Check-In: Movies and Shows 34:15 What's Coming Up Next: Clayface, BioShock Dreams, and More 50:32 Guest Interview: Bill Stoddard on Murder Mouse 1:02:55 Weekly Picks and Comics for the DC Blackout Key Takeaways The Minecraft Movie Squared logo sparks end-game theories, Matt Berry joins the cast, and the crew comes to terms with the Herobrine creepypasta being fabricated rather than real lore. ElevenLabs and the company holding Stan Lee's likeness launch an AI voice to read public library books, drawing heavy backlash, especially given Lee sued over his likeness rights back in 2018. Spider-Noir lands a low 8 from Frank and a 10 out of 10 from Squeaks, with the color and black-and-white toggle and the Ben Reilly name nod as standout details, though the detective pacing runs slow for modern viewers. The mid-year review crowns Wonder Man, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and The Boys finale as highlights, with Clayface, Spider-Man Brand New Day, House of the Dragon, and Lanterns leading the watchlist. A running rant on movie theater popcorn buckets covers the Lobo motorcycle, the 80 dollar Galactus, and the Masters of the Universe sword and castle, plus why studios keep missing the collectibles opportunity. Bill Stoddard breaks down the origin of Murder Mouse, the fourth-wall humor inspired by Looney Tunes, the new Head Case Comics label, and a planned From Dusk Till Dawn style one-shot. Quotes "It's legal, but not right." "It takes the value out of the voice, the words they spoke when they were alive." "Basically, Chuck E. Cheese meets Disneyland meets an 80s slasher flick." "What if the classic Mickey Mouse saw how the world was today?" "Wonder Man just came out of nowhere."

Spider-Noir Editors – Jennifer Barbot, ACE; Tirsa Hackshaw, ACE; Eric Kissack, ACE and Geraud Brisson, ACE Although the editors of Spider-Noir may have all arrived at the series through different paths, they quickly found themselves working toward the same goal: shaping a superhero story that functions first and foremost as a noir detective tale. For Jennifer Barbot, Tirsa Hackshaw, Eric Kissack, and Geraud Brisson, that meant balancing 1930s atmosphere, modern pacing, dry comedy, stylized action, and the very particular energy of a Nicolas Cage performance. Created by Oren Uziel for MGM+ and Prime Video, Spider-Noir stars Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, a down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York who is pulled back into his former life as the city's only superhero, The Spider. The series also stars Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Jack Huston and Brendan Gleeson, and is presented in both "Authentic Black and White" and "True-Hue Full Color" versions. For the editors, that dual-format release created one of the show's most interesting creative and technical challenges. The editors primarily cut in black and white, leaning into the shadows, contrast and classic noir language of the series, while visual effects reviews often revealed the same scenes in color. The result was a show that could feel emotionally different depending on which version was being watched, even when the underlying performance, rhythm and story remained the same. JENNIFER BARBOT, ACE Jennifer Barbot is an editor whose credits include Your Honor, Raised by Wolves, The Man in the High Castle, Jessica Jones and Dope Thief. On Spider-Noir, Jennifer was drawn to the show's mix of noir style, superhero mythology and emotional character work, as well as the opportunity to help establish the tone of a world that had to feel both period-inspired and contemporary. TIRSA HACKSHAW, ACE Tirsa Hackshaw, ACE has worked across a wide range of television and film projects, including One Piece, Kung Fu, Jupiter's Legacy, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and The Punisher. Having previously worked with Steve Lightfoot on Marvel's The Punisher, Tirsa came to Spider-Noir with both a love of the noir genre and a deep appreciation for the Spider-Verse, making the show a natural fit for her interests as an editor. ERIC KISSACK, ACE Eric Kissack, ACE is an editor and director whose work includes The Good Place, Veep, Black Monday, Rutherford Falls, Pam & Tommy and The Studio. He has also edited feature comedies such as Role Models, Brüno, Cedar Rapids, The Dictator, Horrible Bosses 2, Daddy's Home, Instant Family, Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar and Bottoms. On Spider-Noir, Eric was especially interested in the show's dry, organic comedy and in finding a rhythm that allowed the humor to breathe without undercutting the detective story. GERAUD BRISSON, ACE Geraud Brisson, ACE is a French-American film and television editor whose credits include CODA, The OA, Counterpart, This Close, Shantaram and Lessons in Chemistry. Having previously worked with Steve Lightfoot on Shantaram, Geraud was excited by the chance to explore a superhero-oriented story through the lens of noir. His work on Spider-Noir included sequences that blended action, subjective sound, visual effects and classic film references into the show's distinctive style.   Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs Hear Eric discuss his work on THE STUDIO Listen to Geraud discuss cutting Best Picture Oscar-winner CODA Subscribe to The Rough Cut podcast and never miss an episode Visit The Rough Cut on YouTube

Back in 1962, the Tornados released "Telstar" a spaced out instrumental written and produced by Joe Meek. It was the First Record by a British Rock Group to Reach Number One in the US Hot 100 and it set Meek apart from the record producers of his time. We explore "Telstar" and the Meek's career and legacy, from ingenuity to outer space to paranoia and beyond. Plus, a jaw-clenching Mouthgarf Report and I See What You Did There!

397 Year 9: StartDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos celebrate 8 years of the FOOBAR Show (and quietly admit that simply mentioning it is basically the anniversary special). They catch up on the last couple weeks: staying busy, missing an episode, and committing to keeping the show going whenever life allows.Florida stays undefeated: a man gets arrested outside a Taco Bell after allegedly exposing himself — and deputies find a live betta fish in his backpack. The fish gets handed off safely, then promptly earns the only correct name possible: Baja Blast.Geeking Out starts with The Boys sticking the landing. The finale brings the chaos and the gore, but also more emotional closure than expected — and the Foos talk through the big swings, the character wrap-ups, and why a hopeful ending still felt on-brand even if some people are nitpicking plot holes.Next up: Spider-Man Noir premieres with Nicolas Cage as an older, worn-down private investigator version of Spider-Man in 1930s New York — and the coolest part is you can watch it in true black-and-white or in a stylized color version. The Foos are watching it in black-and-white for maximum noir vibes and it's hitting like a detective story first, superhero story second.Then the X-Men '97 Season 2 trailer finally drops, confirming the return date and teasing time-scattered X-Men, Apocalypse energy, and a bigger multi-season plan. The Foos dig into the hype, the tone, and what they hope stays consistent from the first season.They also recap seeing The Mandalorian and Grogu in ScreenX and break down what that format actually is: one main screen with projected side-wall visuals that kick in during big action and flight sequences. The verdict: it's basically a long, fun standalone Mandalorian episode — and that's exactly why it works.Steph closes Geeking Out with a heads-up for the Pokémon die-hards: Pokémon XP — the first fan convention hosted by The Pokémon Company International — is coming to San Francisco in August alongside the Pokémon Championships. There's a single-day pass interest list window and it's basically a lottery, so if you want in, get on it.Here's What I Would Do includes a follow-up victory lap from Alyssa (Costa Mesa) who turned off location sharing, survived, and refused to turn it back on even when her boyfriend got lost — plus a new letter from Brian (Temecula) whose wife keeps volunteering him for random community service missions without asking first.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntro8 Year Anniversary of the FOOBAR ShowFlorida man Taco Bell incident + betta fish named Baja BlastGeeking Out The Boys finale sticks the landingSpider-Man Noir Nicolas Cage black and white vs color versionsX-Men 97 Season 2 trailer return date and time scatter setupMandalorian and Grogu ScreenX reviewPokemon XP convention in San Francisco + ticket interest list lotteryHere's What I Would Do Alyssa location sharing updateHere's What I Would Do Wife volunteering husband Brian TemeculaOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroFOOBAR Show anniversary, The Boys finale, Spider-Man Noir, Nicolas Cage, X-Men 97 Season 2, Mandalorian and Grogu ScreenX, Florida man Taco Bell, betta fish Baja Blast, Pokemon XP San Francisco, Pokemon Championships, location sharing update, marriage volunteering spouse

Today's episode starts with one of the biggest cliffhangers in recent Rizzuto Show history: Riz finally gets the results from his sleep study. Will he officially become a CPAP guy? Is he about to start "microdosing life support" every night? Or will doctors somehow discover an entirely new category of terrible sleep? The crew weighs in with equal parts concern, medical expertise they definitely don't have, and relentless roasting.Things somehow spiral into a discussion about waking up twenty times a night, cortisol overload, testosterone levels, hormone therapy, NAD shots, and the possibility that everyone on the show is slowly becoming a science experiment. Basically, if you've ever hit your 40s and wondered what happened, this conversation is for you.Then it's on to movie theater controversy as Alamo Drafthouse sparks outrage by replacing their old-school paper ordering system with QR code phone ordering. The crew debates whether phones belong anywhere near a movie screen, whether glowing screens ruin the experience, and if Elijah Wood might be the most passionate movie theater defender on Earth.Meanwhile, Riz and his wife are considering a rare date night at the movies, leading to a surprisingly intense discussion about movie choices, theater etiquette, and whether anyone should ever be playing a game on their phone during a film.In Crap On Celebrities, the gang dives into music festival drama as performers start dropping out of the America 250 celebration while Vanilla Ice somehow remains standing. There's also talk about Riot Fest's loaded lineup, Tom Morello's latest festival announcement, Violet Grohl's debut album, Willie Nelson making chart history, and upcoming movies that might actually be worth leaving the house for.The entertainment world doesn't escape unscathed either. The crew discusses Brad Pitt family drama, Nicolas Cage changing his name to avoid riding the Coppola family coattails, Toy Story 5 preparing to emotionally destroy an entire generation again, and the strange reality that kids today would rather stare at a tablet than play with actual toys.Then comes one of the day's biggest debates: the Mount Rushmore of arena rock. Queen, Journey, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, U2, and more all enter the argument as the crew tries to determine which bands truly deserve arena rock immortality.Add in celebrity birthdays, bizarre movie facts, festival announcements, old concert memories, and enough sarcasm to power a small city, and you've got another completely normal day with The Rizzuto Show.If you're looking for a daily comedy show packed with ridiculous conversations, pop culture commentary, music news, and the kind of friendship that only comes from years of roasting each other on the radio, this episode delivers.The Rizzuto Show remains the daily comedy show where sleep studies become comedy material, movie theater policies become national debates, and arena rock rankings become blood feuds.Thanks for making us part of your daily comedy show routine.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rizz is having an existential crisis after discovering his son's feet are officially bigger than his. The gang dives headfirst into the emotional rollercoaster of watching kids grow up, the weird realization that childhood doesn't last forever, and why parents secretly measure their self-worth against shoe sizes.A family in California is desperately searching for answers after a delivery driver allegedly walked off with their cat. Yes, their actual cat. Not a package. Not a box. The cat. The crew debates whether the world's chillest feline was simply too trusting and whether every pet owner should now be suspicious of compliments from delivery drivers.Then there's the woman who somehow handed over her debit card and nearly ten thousand dollars in cash after falling for an unbelievable rideshare scam. The gang attempts to understand how these scams work while also wondering how many red flags a person can ignore before reality taps them on the shoulder.Meanwhile, an airline passenger claims a cup of coffee caused life-changing injuries in the absolute worst place imaginable. What follows is an in-depth discussion on airplane coffee, turbulence, questionable beverage decisions, and why nobody wants to gamble with hot liquids at 35,000 feet.The conversation takes another turn when Rizz discovers a tick between his toes and immediately starts worrying about Alpha-Gal Syndrome. Because apparently adulthood is just a series of increasingly specific fears.As if that wasn't enough, the crew uncovers one of the strangest side hustles on the internet: cosplay models selling "foot juice" to convention attendees. Yes, exactly what it sounds like. No, nobody is proud of humanity after hearing this story.Rizz finally gets the results from his sleep study. Will he officially become a CPAP guy?

Queen, Journey, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, U2, and more all enter the argument as the crew tries to determine which bands truly deserve arena rock immortality.What began as a normal conversation about wedding presents quickly turned into an absolutely ridiculous debate over what happens when a group of radio personalities starts shopping online with zero adult supervision. One minute we're talking about gift registries. The next minute we're researching blow-up dolls, discussing payment plans, comparing shipping options, and wondering whether a fully wrapped mystery package would instantly become the most talked-about item at the reception.Because apparently that's where our brains go.Would the bride find it funny? Would the groom appreciate the joke? Would security escort us from the venue?
