RESIDENT EVIL. That's right we're back to talk the eighth movie (second reboot) of the video game to movie franchise this time directed by Zach Cregger of weapons fame. A lot of people are excited by that whilst some particular fans of the franchise are definitely not. We also discuss the poor reception of Zack Snyder's The Last Photograph and wanting to adapt The Dark Knight Returns, some Man of Tomorrow updates, the potential of Lanterns Season 2, weird unit Tom Cruise is on an absolute media tear the only way he knows how (being a normal man) and a whole lot more.

Well Happy Batman Day... This Is A Weird One. Today we're diving into two of our favorite corners of the comic book movie world — the future of Marvel's X-Men AND the long history of Batman villains. First up, we're talking about the latest X-Men MCU casting rumors, including an Asian woman in a supporting role, a Native American man in a supporting role, and another female character who could have a small role in the first X-Men movie before becoming much more important in the sequel. Who could Marvel Studios be looking to bring into the MCU? We break down some of our biggest guesses, including characters like Thunderbird, and get into their powers, personalities, comic book histories, and how they could potentially fit into this new version of the X-Men. Then, in honor of Batman Day, we're doing the impossible: RANKING EVERY BATMAN MOVIE VILLAIN! We're going through the Tim Burton Batman movies, Joel Schumacher era, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Zack Snyder's Batman appearances, The Batman, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, and The LEGO Batman Movie — from Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger's Joker to Danny DeVito's Penguin, Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman, Jim Carrey's Riddler, Tom Hardy's Bane, Cillian Murphy's Scarecrow, Paul Dano's Riddler, Colin Farrell's Penguin, Mark Hamill's Joker and MANY more.

Miguel acaba de regresar del Festival de Cine de Toronto y trae mucho chisme.Esta semana Cine Mordida se fue a TIFF, uno de los lugares donde empiezan a aparecer esas películas de las que probablemente vamos a estar hablando durante los próximos meses. Miguel vio algunas de las más esperadas, estuvo en premieres, pláticas con actores y directores y regresó con varias apuestas para una temporada de premios que se empieza a poner muy interesante.Pero no a todos les fue bien en Toronto.¿Qué película consiguió algo que casi nunca sucede en TIFF? ¿Quién podría estar encaminándose a otro Oscar? ¿Qué director siente la presión de demostrar que su último éxito no fue cuestión de suerte? ¿Y qué pasó con Zack Snyder para que, al día siguiente de presentar uno de sus proyectos más personales, todo el mundo estuviera hablando de él?Agarren su cafecito. Que esta semana hay chisme del bueno.
Zack Snyder has directed some of the biggest films of the last two decades, from 300 to Watchmen, Man of Steel, and Batman v Superman—movies that have influenced millions. But what is it that has influenced him? In a recent interview, Snyder tried to distance himself from right-leaning allegations by calling his movie 300: "one of the gayest movies ever made," argued that movies need more eroticism, and then revealed something even more important: the spirituality behind his filmmaking. Snyder says that his worldview is an, quote, "alchemy of Christian Science and Joseph Campbell," describing Jesus as essentially, quote, "a dude who figured it out" and saying, "We are all Superman, and we are all gods on Earth." This matters because ideas don't stay inside books and philosophy. They influence filmmakers, filmmakers influence movies, and movies influence us. Blessed by this ministry?

Is Paramount actually preparing to move out of Hollywood? One of the most iconic studios in the history of the entertainment industry could be facing a massive change, with new reports raising questions about Paramount's future in Hollywood. On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the latest Paramount developments, what a potential move could mean for the studio, and how the ongoing changes surrounding the company could impact the larger entertainment industry. There's also a major update surrounding the Paramount merger, as the Department of Justice reportedly backs Paramount in the latest dispute involving the merger bond. With billions of dollars and the future of some of Hollywood's biggest franchises potentially at stake, where does everything stand now? Zack Snyder is also looking back at his time running the DCEU. Snyder discusses losing control of his DC universe, Joss Whedon's Justice League, and his surprising involvement consulting on James Gunn's Superman. Years after the SnyderVerse ended, what does Snyder think about everything that happened, and where does he stand with the new DC Studios leadership? If you're a fan of Paramount, Warner Bros., DC Studios, James Gunn, Zack Snyder, Superman, Justice League, HBO, Netflix, or discussions about the changing Hollywood landscape, this episode is for you! #Paramount #Hollywood #WarnerBros #DCStudios #DCU #JamesGunn #ZackSnyder #Superman #JusticeLeague #SnyderVerse #HBO #Netflix #MovieNews #HollywoodNews #KristianHarloffShow SPONSOR: #CASHAPP PARTNER: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/76rlxe00 #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

¡Frikingos de la Galaxia vuelve de vacaciones! Y como septiembre ya trae suficiente depresión posvacacional por sí solo, hemos decidido combatirla de la única manera que conocemos: hablando de cine hasta que alguien nos quite los micrófonos. En este primer programa de la nueva temporada repasamos las últimas películas y estrenos que hemos visto, desde las salas de cine hasta ese maravilloso ecosistema de plataformas en el que uno entra buscando una película y termina preguntándose por qué demonios paga siete suscripciones distintas. Hablamos de Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The End of Oak Street, Evil Dead Burn, Insidious: Fuera del más allá, Minions & Monsters, Supergirl, La Odisea, Buena suerte, pásalo bien, no mueras, Turno de noche, Jack Ryan: Ghost War, Enviad ayuda, Agente Kim: Reactivado, Susurran tu nombre, Demon Slayer: El Castillo Infinito y hasta Toy Story 5, actualmente secuestrada en algún cajón de juguetes hasta su llegada a Disney+. ¿Hemos visto todos todas las películas? Evidentemente no. Todavía conservamos trabajos, familias y algún resto testimonial de vida social. Pero para inaugurar esta nueva temporada, el capi de la Friking Express, Lord Bolketón, contará con la sapiencia cinéfila de Álex, Julwiki, Joseja y Vicky se reúnen para hablar de cine, estrenos, recomendaciones, plataformas, terror, anime, superhéroes y cualquier otra cosa que consiga colarse en la conversación sin autorización previa. Entre películas, demonios, héroes en mallas, castillos infinitos y algún que otro viaje al limbo audiovisual, intentaremos separar lo recomendable de aquello que quizá habría sido mejor dejar sin reproducir. Y, por el camino, resolveremos una de las grandes incógnitas de la historia del séptimo arte: ¿Qué piensa Álex que hace Zack Snyder cuando se queda solo delante del espejo?

Cape on. Cowl crooked. Beer cracked open. Shayne and Jay are back for Part 2 of their DC movie deep dive, and they brought receipts. Justice League had a suspiciously familiar villain. Aquaman had an identity crisis. Shazam somehow surprised everybody. And Harley Quinn got the movie she absolutely deserved.In this round:Did Justice League just recycle the Infinity Stones plot and hope nobody noticed?Jay ranks Aquaman low, Shayne ranks him higher, and Jason Momoa doesn't care either wayShazam: the DC movie that doesn't feel like a DC movie (that's a compliment)Birds of Prey and the Emancipation of Everybody's OpinionsRound 329 [a Redux of round 46]~~~~~~~Join the Beer Thursday Patreon!If this show brings you joy, consider becoming a Patron.

Joss Whedon stepped in for Zack Snyder and brought a lighter tone. Shayne noticed the villain's whole "collect three boxes for cosmic power" plan looked a little familiar. It rhymes with Bfinity Stones. Once Superman showed back up, Steppenwolf was done. And nobody was a fan of that voice filter.Aquaman splits the guys right down the middle. Jay called it cheap, cheesy, and overhyped. Shayne liked it more and says Jason Momoa is the whole reason Aquaman works at all now. Also, Jango Fett himself, Temura Morrison, had a role. James Wan directed. It's better than Jay remembers.Shazam gets real love. Zachary Levi (yes, that's Chuck from the TV show) plays a superhero who looks like he's actually having fun, and the guys agree the lighter tone made it stand out.Birds of Prey lands strong. Margot Robbie owns Harley Quinn, Ewan McGregor makes a great villain, and the guys are genuinely impressed by DC's track record with strong female leads before Marvel got there.They close out by looking ahead: Wonder Woman 1984, the Suicide Squad reboot, The Batman, Black Adam, the Flash's Flashpoint storyline, and the hope that Henry Cavill stays Superman for a good long time.Toast of the round: "Here's to being single, drinking doubles, and seeing triple." Jay also finished an entire bottle on air. No notes.~~~~~~~Disclosure: I don't really have a house elf. Artie is AI. Get it? Artie-ficial Intelligence!

Mike Kalinowski and John Rocha are taking over The Kristian Harloff Show today to break down the biggest movie and entertainment news! The main conversation turns to Star Wars: Starfighter as director Shawn Levy reveals a major detail about the state of the galaxy following Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker — there is reportedly "no governing order." What does that mean for the future of Star Wars? Mike and Rocha discuss how Starfighter could reshape the post-Skywalker Saga era, what a galaxy without the New Republic or another central government might look like, and whether this gives Lucasfilm the opportunity to take Star Wars in a completely new direction. Plus, Fast Forever is reportedly targeting a December production start as the Fast & Furious franchise prepares for its next chapter. The writer of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has also spoken about the recent Supergirl movie following its $125.8 million theatrical run and what the experience could mean for the future of the DCU. And could Zack Snyder return to the world of 300? A new report claims the long-discussed 300 prequel TV series may be heading to Netflix with Snyder attached to direct. Mike and Rocha discuss what a return to the franchise could look like and whether Netflix is the right home for the project. Today's show is headlined by the future of Star Wars and the first major clues about what the galaxy looks like after The Rise of Skywalker. Mike and Rocha discuss whether removing a central galactic government could give Lucasfilm a fresh start and what that might mean for Starfighter and future Star Wars movies. If you're a fan of Star Wars, Starfighter, The Rise of Skywalker, Fast & Furious, Supergirl, DC Studios, Zack Snyder, 300, Netflix, or the latest movie news, join Mike Kalinowski and John Rocha for today's episode! #StarWars #StarWarsStarfighter #ShawnLevy #TheRiseOfSkywalker #Lucasfilm #FastForever #FastAndFurious #Supergirl #DCU #DCStudios #ZackSnyder #300 #Netflix #JohnRocha #MikeKalinowski #KristianHarloffShow #MovieNews COME JOIN HARLOFF, ELLIS AND STERGER FOR A NIGHT OF COMEDY - THURSDAY, 10/8 @ 7:30PM SHOW HOSTED BY: KYLE LEWIS https://brokerage.govs.com/shows/376674 SPONSOR: CASHAPP: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/76rlxe00 #CashAppPod • Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Scoot McNairy is an acclaimed actor known for his key roles in Academy Award-winning pictures such as ARGO and 12 YEARS A SLAVE, as well as David Fincher's hit thriller GONE GIRL.

His newest show, FURIOUS, follows FBI agent Alice Black as she hunts a mysterious and calculating female serial killer. Both walk their own paths toward justice, and as their lives start to intertwine, the line between right and wrong begins to blur. In this interview, we talk about how he makes roles feel relatable to audiences, what he's learnt from collaborating with directors like David Fincher and Zack Snyder, his new show FURIOUS, and how he prepares for roles.

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to DMR! Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has officially stormed global box offices, pulling in a massive $912 million approx. worldwide and rapidly tracking straight toward the coveted $1 billion mark. Driven by Nolan's trademark practical scale and an A-list ensemble led by Matt Damon as Odysseus, alongside Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, and Anne Hathaway, this adaptation breathes gritty, high-stakes life into Homer's ancient text. The film naturally invites heavy comparisons to past sword-and-sandal historical epics, most notably Wolfgang Petersen's Troy (2004) and Zack Snyder's 300 (2007). While Troy leaned into gritty historical realism and 300 traded in hyper-stylized graphic novel aesthetics, Nolan successfully bridges the gap between the two. He marries the massive, grounded military scale of 2000s historical dramas with a dark, myth-heavy fantasy layer, pushing the boundaries of what a modern blockbuster epic can achieve; with scenes like the Cyclops cave, to the immersive giant whirlpool, Nolan takes us on an epic journey! Ultimately, The Odyssey stands out by refusing to shy away from the supernatural elements of the original myth while maintaining the hard-hitting gravity expected of a Nolan production. Whether it's destined to outlast the legacy of films like Troy and 300 in the cultural zeitgeist is still up for debate, but its jaw-dropping technical execution and box office dominance make it an essential cinematic event. Dewey discusses the pros and cons of the film and where he feels it fits within the Nolan cinematic universe - Is this Nolan's best?

Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Does whatever other heroes can't. And these days, that means make a good movie. Other super-movies, even in the Marvel world, take on the fake responsibilities of social activism, then are forced to fight the sinister criticism of fans. Meanwhile, Spidey and his amazing friends just keep uniting people in his friendly cinematic neighborhood. How does one hero keep wielding such great power? Episode sponsors Enclave Publishing: Winter’s Dawn by Morgan L. Busse Realm Makers fundraiser for ongoing defamation lawsuit The Talismiths: The Secret Saboteur by M. L. Hodder King Justice: The Legend Begins by Evelyn M. Exley Mission update New at Lorehaven: The Shattered Ones book quest has begun. Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild. 1. Superhero movies are fighting off villains. Just last week we heard of more cancelled Marvel movie projects. With some exceptions, the MCU has flopped on streaming screens. Apart from quality, fans discerned a stench of Agenda moments. Perfect-storm also struck with Jonathan Majors cast controversies. Unlike older movies, fans follow every detail, leak, and rumor. And like Spider-Man's powers, internet is our gift and is our curse. Meanwhile, DC's latest reboot can't even get off the ground. DC is cancelling and delaying projects as a buyout draws nigh. In the past, DC has proven actively hostile to particular fans. Official statements and books isolate and mock certain versions. For instance, The LEGO Movie mocked Green Lantern the hero. In another case, an official Superman book criticized Zack Snyder. In both universes, fanbases are divided, politicized, anti-heroic. It feels like they're pitting fan “denominations” against each other. As a late famous comic creator famously uttered, “ ‘Nough said.” 2. But everybody loves one friendly hero. Meanwhile, over in the Spiderverse corner of the Marvel world … Corporate heads, marketeers, and actors alike are unifying for this. Consider one recent GQ stunt with Brand New Day actors at trivia. (‘Ware language.) Actors were asked about many Spidey versions. In this universe, every story gets canonized and respected equally. This follows No Way Home's blend of previous film characters. But for DC, they've tried to purge all previous versions except one. This unifying approach helps fans love all Spider-Man versions. Whether you like Tobey, Andrew, or Tom, you can celebrate Spidey! So it's not political. Now fans can have fun doing compare/contrast. This ends up more like denominations who unify in essential faith. (And yet that only goes so far. Holland won't meet Madame Webb.) 3. The rise of self-aware yet sincere stories. This year we've seen a wonderful increase of truly good films. Three come from Amazon/MGM: Project Hail Mary, The Sheep Detectives, and even Masters of the Universe all work so well. Jenneth Leed praised Hail Mary's earnest optimism and hope. This is “metamodern,” a flavor beyond modern and postmodern. Now we've faced real-life dystopia, war, political unrest, and a divided society. More people long for the hope of modernism, but aren't so naïve to think life doesn't come with the complexities postmodernism criticized. So instead of embracing one philosophy over another, metamodernism combines the best features of both. This approach keeps the self-awareness, irony, and subversions of expectations. But these stories also value hope, sincere themes, and admirable heroes. In fact, one working definition for metamodern storytelling may be, “Delivering a sincere theme about life in a self-aware or absurd premise.” Note: this isn't the same as flippant stories that claim “optimism.” And it's a whole galaxy far from stories ashamed of their nature. Stephen has loved “metamodern” stories wherever they appear. The Tick and Galaxy Quest also skewer tropes yet stay sincere. Even the original Superman: The Movie (1978) does this so well. Do note Richard Donner's out-loud commitment to verisimilitude. So do Sam Raimi's and Marc Webb's two Spider-Man film series. And one detects much of this in Lord and Miller's Spiderverse Brand New Day will likely follow in these wall-crawling footsteps. We've had enough division over clashing canons and flippancy. Through other reboots and controversies, Spidey stays faithful! And if other Marvel and DC films do the same, they can unify fans. Com station Top question for listeners What do you love about sincere superhero stories? Next on Fantastical Truth Christian kids, do you remember all those old warnings against fantasy fiction? Some people implied that if you made up too much stuff, you'd lose track of reality. Alas. For some cases, they’re absolutely right. Too many people are abusing God's gift of imagination. They cast people they do not know as villains in a fantasy world in which they are the big moral heroes. This habit is taking over social media. And now this sin is hurting faithful creators we know. How can Christian fans respond?

Episode 155 of The Film ‘89 Podcast is a full-on history lesson as hosts Martin Kessler and John Arminio take a trip back to 480 BC as they celebrate the 20th anniversary of Zack Snyder's big screen adaptation of legendary comic book writer Frank Miller's 300. 300 tells the epic tale of the Battle of Thermopylae, and how an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army in the mountain pass of Thermopylae. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the enemy in one of the most famous last stands in history. Snyder's hyper-stylised film employed then-cutting-edge filmmaking techniques and remains one of the most faithful comic-book adaptations ever made. In addition to analysing the film, John and Martin delve deep into Greek history and discuss Christopher Nolan's new adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey, as well as Wolfgang Petersen's 2004 film Troy, loosely based on Homer's The Iliad.

The Binge Buddies are answering the call, because the fans demanded it, and the four-hour epic has finally arrived. Welcome back to "Hall of Just Us," where your hosts Bryan, Matt, Joel, and Ryan are tackling the unprecedented cinematic resurrection of 2021's Zack Snyder's Justice League. After tragic personal circumstances forced Snyder to step away from the original production—resulting in the studio-mandated Frankenstein's monster we previously survived—a relentless fan campaign willed the director's true vision into existence. The guys are strapping in to discuss how this colossal, R-rated, four-hour streaming event completely rewrites history and delivers a vastly superior, tonally cohesive experience compared to its predecessor. We are breaking down the vital restoration of Ray Fisher's Cyborg as the emotional heart of the story, the genuinely intimidating presence of Darkseid, the much-needed redemption of Steppenwolf's design, and the sheer atmospheric power of Tom Holkenborg's booming score. Grab your favorite snacks to survive the intermission and hit play—we're experiencing the definitive cut!
