Jack Reacher may be one of the most iconic action book heroes of all time. Over 100 million copies of author Lee Child’s books have been sold. But the author who has taken over the series is perhaps a little less well known. Andrew Child, who also writes under the name Andrew Grant, is now carrying on the legacy of Jack Reacher for his older brother. He came to Portland for the 2024 Portland Book Festival to talk about the 29th book in the series, “In Too Deep.”

When Your Movie Trailer is a Lie 101 This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are breaking down the disappointing box office performance of Snow Brown, talking about Cody vs. Cena, reviewing the last two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again, share a very disappointed review for A Working Man, and then it’s on to the Reacher Season 3 finale. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Snow Brown Box Office: Cena vs. Cody: Daredevil: A Working Man: Reacher: Snow Brown Box Office As of March 30, 2025, Snow White has accumulated $66.9 million in the United States and Canada, with an additional $75.8 million from international markets, totaling approximately $142.8 million worldwide. Given the film's substantial production and marketing budget, industry analysts suggest it would need to gross around $500 million globally to break even, indicating potential financial losses for Disney. John Cena and Cody Rhodes Cook on the Road to Wrestlemania On Monday Night Raw at London's O2 Arena, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and John Cena engaged in a heated confrontation ahead of their WrestleMania 41 main event. The segment began with Cena addressing the audience, only to be interrupted by Rhodes, who challenged Cena's recent criticisms. The exchange quickly escalated, with both men delivering personal and intense verbal attacks. Cena accused Rhodes of being a “sociopathic nepo baby” with an inflated ego, referencing his neck tattoo and past gimmicks. Rhodes countered by questioning Cena's authenticity and motivations, suggesting that the fans chose him, whereas Cena was selected by a now-absent figure in WWE management. The confrontation culminated physically when Cena attempted a cheap shot, but Rhodes countered, delivering his signature “Cross Rhodes” maneuver, leaving Cena laid out in the ring. This intense segment has significantly amplified anticipation for their upcoming clash at WrestleMania 41. Daredevil: Born Again (Disney Plus) Episode 5: “With Interest” Out of 5 Please Don’t Remind Us Darryl: 3/5 Brian: 4.03/5 Director: Jeffrey Nachmanoff Writer: Grainne Godfree Air Date: March 25, 2025 Summary: Matt Murdock finds himself entangled in a bank robbery alongside Yusuf Khan, father of Ms. Marvel. While some viewers appreciated the lighter, standalone nature of the episode, others felt it was a filler that didn't advance the main plot. The inclusion of Yusuf Khan was seen by some as a fun MCU connection, while others viewed it as forced. Overall, the episode received mixed reactions, with some enjoying the change of pace and others longing for more substantial narrative progression. Episode 6: “Excessive Force” Out of 5 Dueling Fight Scenes Darryl: 4/5 Brian: 4.13/5 Director: David Boyd Writer: Thomas Wong Air Date: March 25, 2025 Summary: Matt Murdock finally decides that playing dress-up in red spandex is the best way to tackle New York's latest menace—a serial killer named Muse who thinks painting with blood is avant-garde. Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk, ever the multitasker, juggles his mayoral duties with forming a secret police squad of “bad apples” to combat vigilantes, because nothing says “law and order” like unchecked brutality. The episode oscillates between Daredevil's gritty showdown with Muse and Fisk's personal therapy session, which involves beating a man senseless in a prison cell. It's a heartwarming tale of two men embracing their true selves: one through morally ambiguous fisticuffs, the other through homicidal rage. Critics have noted that this return to form brings back the “nastiness and grit” reminiscent of the pre-Disney+ days. Overall, it's a delightful reminder that in the Marvel universe, personal growth often involves a healthy dose of violence. A Working Man (2025) Out of 10 Could There Be Any More Temu Batman Villains in One Movie Darryl: 4.25/10 Brian: 4/5 Summary “A Working Man” is a 2025 action thriller directed by David Ayer and co-written by Ayer and Sylvester Stallone. The film follows Levon Cade, portrayed by Jason Statham, a former black ops operative who has left his violent past behind to work in construction and care for his daughter. His attempt at a peaceful life is shattered when his boss's teenage daughter is kidnapped by human traffickers, compelling Levon to employ his lethal skills to rescue her. Writer: Sylvester Stallone, David Ayer Director: David Ayer Producers: David Ayer, Bill Block, John Friedberg, Chris Long, Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone Cast: Jason Statham as Levon Cade Michael Peña as Joe Garcia David Harbour as Gunny Lefferty Jason Flemyng as Wolo Kolisnyk Arianna Rivas as Jenny Garcia Noemi Gonzalez as Carla Garcia Emmett J. Scanlan as Viper Eve Mauro as Artemis Maximilian Osinski as Dimi Kolisnyk Isla Gie as Merry Cade Studio: Amazon MGM Studios Release Date: March 28, 2025 Box Office: As of April 1, 2025, the film has grossed $33.4 million worldwide, with $16.8 million from the United States and Canada, and $16.6 million from other territories. Reacher (Amazon Prime) Finale Out of 5 Stolen But Not Really Stolen Motorcycles Darryl: 4/5 Brian: 4.12/5 Season 3 Out of 10 There’s Always a Bigger Fish Darryl: 8/10 Brian: 8.21/10 Episode Title: “Unfinished Business”  Director: Sam Hill  Writer: Scott Sullivan  Air Date: March 27, 2025  Summary: In the gripping Season 3 finale of Reacher, titled “Unfinished Business,” Jack Reacher and his team confront the treacherous Xavier Quinn at Zachary Beck's estate. The episode features an intense showdown between Reacher and the formidable bodyguard Paulie, culminating in Paulie's demise. Amidst the chaos, Zachary Beck sacrifices himself to protect his son, Richard, from Quinn's wrath. Ultimately, Reacher exacts vengeance on Quinn, bringing their tumultuous history to a close. The season concludes with Reacher parting ways with his allies and riding off on a motorcycle, embodying his solitary nature.

In addition to Cruise's magnetic portrayal of the stoic drifter, the film features standout performances by Rosamund Pike as Helen Rodin (known for Gone Girl and Die Another Day), whose sharp intellect and determination add layers to the investigation along with veteran actor Richard Jenkins (The Visitor, Step Brothers, The Way of Water), David Oyelowo (Selma, Interstella), Robert Duvall (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, To Kill a Mockingbird), + a chilling turn from Werner Herzog (Fitzcarraldo, Nosferatu The Vampire, Grizzly Man) as the Zec, & our FIRST exposure to Jai Courtney (The Suicide Squad, Terminator: Genisys, Divergent).

Jack Reacher is back for his 3rd adventure on Prime Video. Reacher season 3 has wrapped up its run on Amazon and this will be the first time I cover the show on MOVIE Morning! I caught up on Reacher not too long after season 2 released and fell in love with the vibe of this show and Alan Ritchson's pitch perfect portrayal of Jack Reacher. Each of the first two seasons had many great qualities to them and they also felt different, which is very refreshing for a TV show. And season 3, based on the book ‘Persuader', might just be the strongest season of the Nick Santora Prime Video series yet. Find out why in this review of all 8 episodes!

Juanma González analiza los estrenos de la semana que son: Amenaza en el aire, El secreto del Orfebre y Reacher. ¡Dale al play! En el programa Es la Mañana de Fin de Semana, Juanma González ha hablado sobre los estrenos más importantes de esta primera semana de marzo.Amenaza en el aire Protagonizada por Mark Wahlberg y dirigida por Mel Gibson— La pasión de Cristo (2004), Apocalypto (2006), etc.—, la acción se concentra en un único espacio, la avioneta, y cuenta la historia de un piloto (Mark Wahlberg) que transporta a una teniente general (Michelle Dockery), quien custodia a un testigo (Topher Grace) que va a testificar en un juicio contra la mafia. Sin embargo, el piloto no es quien dice ser. Aunque el argumento es poco innovador, González ha destacado que "es entretenida". González ha comentado sobre el tono de la película que "Mel Gibson la dota de un sentido del humor que es muy propio de él" a través de los personajes, pues, según González, incluso a los antagonistas "les coges cariño". Además, González ha subrayado sobre Mel Gibson que "después de tantos años, puede y sabe dirigir una película ambiciosa. Son 90 minutos muy rápidos y bastante entretenidos. Tiene pulso como director, rueda muy bien, sabe dominar la acción, el suspense y el humor". "Al final, es una serie B que solo busca entretener y divertir. Conserva esa escuela que se ha ido perdiendo en las películas de acción modernas, que son diferentes", ha concluido González.El secreto del orfebre Basada en la novela homónima de Elia Barceló, es un drama romántico que sigue la historia de dos amantes condenados a encontrarse y desencontrarse a lo largo del tiempo, luchando por estar juntos. Juan Pablo (Mario Casas) es un orfebre que viaja a su pueblo natal, donde se reencuentra con un amor que cambió su vida, Celia (interpretada por Michelle Jenner y Zoe Bonafonte). González ha explicado que es "una película con muy buena factura", ya que cuenta con atmósferas rurales idealizadas y un toque histórico. Además, ha continuado diciendo que "es una película muy bien hecha, con una buena factura visual, que no resulta televisiva. Es cursi y romántica, pero no excesivamente empalagosa". Por otro lado, en cuanto a los actores, González ha afirmado que "Mario Casas ha mejorado mucho como actor".Reacher La tercera temporada de Reacher se ha estrenado en Amazon Prime Video. Alan Ritchson da vida al exoficial de la policía militar, Jack Reacher. González ha dicho que la serie es "súper entretenida, tiene mucho humor, pero también es violenta. Hay muertos de verdad, tiene el tono de novela policíaca y película de acción ochentera y noventera".Par Impar En el último episodio del podcast Par Impar, Dani Palacios y González cuentan con la participación del director Nacho Vigalondo— Daniela Forever (2025)— para hablar sobre la película Carretera perdida (1997) de David Lynch.

Greg Alba and John Humphrey dive into the highly anticipated premiere of Reacher Season 3! In this electrifying opening episode, Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson, Blue Mountain State, Titans) goes undercover to rescue an informant from a formidable enemy tied to his past. The episode kicks off with a high-octane action sequence, setting the tone for a season filled with intense confrontations and deep-seated vendettas. Reacher's mission leads him into the dangerous world of Zachary Beck (Anthony Michael Hall, The Breakfast Club, The Dead Zone), a businessman with a dark secret. Alongside Reacher is his trusted ally, Frances Neagley (Maria Sten, Swamp Thing, Channel Zero), and DEA Agent Susan Duffy (Sonya Cassidy, Lodge 49, Humans), who bring their expertise to the perilous operation. The antagonist's muscle, Paulie (Olivier Richters, Black Widow, The King's Man), presents a daunting physical challenge, standing at an imposing 7'2". As Reacher delves deeper, he crosses paths with Quinn (Brian Tee, The Wolverine, Jurassic World), a former military officer with a shared history, and Richard Beck (Johnny Berchtold, The Wilds), whose traumatic past intertwines with the unfolding events. This episode not only delivers adrenaline-pumping action but also sets the stage for exploring Reacher's complex past and the unfinished business that haunts him. For fans eager to delve into more of Jack Reacher's thrilling adventures, notable storylines include Killing Floor, Die Trying, Tripwire, Running Blind, and Echo Burning.

After the explosive events of the premiere, Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson, Blue Mountain State, Titans) continues his dangerous mission deep inside the world of Zachary Beck (Anthony Michael Hall, The Breakfast Club, The Dead Zone), a businessman with far more secrets than he lets on. Behind the scenes, DEA Agent Susan Duffy (Sonya Cassidy, Lodge 49, Humans) & Reacher's steadfast ride-or-die Frances Neagley (Maria Sten, Swamp Thing, Channel Zero) hunt for vital intelligence that could turn the tide of their operation. Reacher's presence in Beck's circle not only draws the attention of the towering enforcer, Paulie (Olivier Richters, Black Widow, The King's Man), but also brings us one step closer to the elusive Quinn (Brian Tee, The Wolverine, Jurassic World), a ghost from Reacher's past... All the while, Richard Beck (Johnny Berchtold, The Wilds) struggles with the weight of his father's choices & finds an unexpected friend in Reacher. The episode once again features hard-hitting action, psychological warfare, and Reacher's unique pursuit of justice. With each revelation, the stakes grow higher, setting the stage for explosive confrontations in the episodes to come. If they keep this up, it could well become our favorite season so far!!

Welcome back, my fellow creatives!Yup, I'm back to looking at the first five pages of various stories, for those five pages can make or break the engagement of a reader--or an agent. So, let's scope out the stories of others to see how they hook an audience!One can say a lot with a little, especially when you know your readers. Moore's opening line "The bed is empty" hits a nerve with anyone who has checked on loved ones sleeping, especially children. In the case of The God of the Woods, the opening focuses on counselor Louise discovering one of the campers, the child Barbara, is missing. The sections of opening text are tight scenes between her and another counselor, or her reflecting on the night before. Each section ends with a touch of a cliffhanger not unlike Lee Child's structure in his Jack Reacher novels, which I appreciate. Such sections ensure there's no time for off-topic information, for every second of a disappearance counts. The cliffhangers consistently allude to little things that deepen the severity of an already severe situation, too. Why wasn't the other counselor doing her job? Why would Louise cheat on her partner? Why is it even worse that the child Barbara is missing rather than any other child? We readers want answers, so we keep reading. For those ready to kick the hornet's nest of a past and run like hell, The God of the Woods may be just the mystery for you.And what will we discover in the following story's pages?We'll have to wait and see. xxxxRead on, share on, and write on, my friends!

Jack Reacher may be one of the most iconic action book heroes of all time. Over 100 million copies of author Lee Child’s books have been sold. But the author who has taken over the series is perhaps a little less well known. Andrew Child, who also writes under the name Andrew Grant, is now carrying on the legacy of Jack Reacher for his older brother.

In creating the Jack Reacher character, Lee Child launched a series of books that now boast 100 million copies in print and have been turned into movies and a popular Amazon streaming series.Today on the show, I talk to Lee about what makes Reacher so compelling and much more. We first discuss how Lee didn't get started with writing until he was almost forty, and what prompted him to change careers. We then unpack the Reacher character, discussing the ancient, archetypal roots of this vigilante, drifter detective, what he has in common with the knight errant, and the enduring appeal of the lone wolf. We also talk about Lee's writing process, why midlife is the best time to write, and why, after writing more than two dozen Reacher novels, he's chosen to hand off the series to his brother and fellow writer, Andrew.Resources Related to the PodcastThe latest Reacher novel: In Too DeepThe Reacher streaming series Jack Reacher website
