The Morning Show is back to bring us its version of 2024. Can any of us possibly be ready to go back there? Maybe not, but we don't have the strength to resist gorging on The Morning Show's baloney, either. Morning Show-ologist Christina Tucker returns to talk about it. Around The Dial clicks through Futurama S13, Rivals, and Celebrity Weakest Link, then takes a trip to the cinema for Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. Margaret pitches The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air episode "The Big Four-Oh" -- yes, the one where Aunt Viv slays a dance audition in a clip you've probably watched at least once if not 20 times -- for induction into the Canon. Then, after naming the week's Winner and Loser, we close on a Game Time everyone should swipe right on. Get yourself the strongest coffee commercially available and join us! GUESTS
Frank, Squeaks, and Thomas cover a packed week: dream casting for Netflix's BioShock movie, first takes on the Avengers Doomsday reveal out of Shanghai and what it signals for Doctor Doom in the MCU, Star Trek Day highlights and what the 60th anniversary year could look like, quick reactions to the 77th Emmys, why Warner Bros. Discovery is suing Midjourney, and fresh DCU talk after new Superman images and a 2027 date. We close with recommendations and a fast tour around the Geek Freaks Network. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome, mid-week vibes, and today's lineup 01:14 Question of the Week: BioShock movie casting picks for Andrew Ryan, Atlas, Jack, and Little Sisters 07:02 Con updates: CrackerCon appearances, SDC Town Hall, LA Comic Con plans 08:22 Avengers Doomsday first look: Doom's armor, magic tech blend, symbols, and power-level stakes 19:42 Star Trek Day roundup: Starfleet Academy, preschool series on YouTube, scripted Khan audio series, LEGO collab, 60th anniversary plans, Trek cruise, and the Skydance chatter 34:37 Emmys 77 reactions: Studio's comedy sweep, Hacks love, Severance kudos, Andor writing win, and Hannah Einbinder's speech 41:27 WB Discovery vs Midjourney: what the lawsuit argues, fair use vs training, and where fan art fits 51:42 Superman Saga update: 2027 date, new images, Lex team-ups, Brainiac theories, and what to avoid with multiverse fatigue 58:34 Quick hits to watch for next week: TikTok U.S. buyout deadline, Disney + Webtoon digital comics platform 58:59 Recommendations: Foundation, Borderlands 4, Dimension 20 and Critical Role hype 01:04:34 Around the Geek Freaks Network and sign-off Key Takeaways BioShock casting drew strong picks like Cillian Murphy for Andrew Ryan and Gerard Butler or James McAvoy for Atlas, with Ewan McGregor floated for an all-voice heavy Atlas. The Doomsday footage suggests a Doom who mixes sorcery and engineering. Runes, sigils, and visuals hint at a villain who can carry multiverse-level stakes. Star Trek is gearing up for a busy 60th year with new shows, a kids series on YouTube to hook the next generation, a scripted Khan audio drama, and a LEGO partnership. Emmys 77 landed well for comedy and recognized top craft like Andor's writing. Studio earned the “actual comedy” praise many fans were looking for. The Midjourney suit could set important lines around training on copyrighted works. The show breaks down the difference between commentary fair use and model training. DCU chatter points to Brainiac as the smart next-step foil that forces a Lex and Superman team-up, while keeping the multiverse in check. Community notes: Geek Freaks will be out at events, and the Network has new episodes across the slate. Quotes “It looks comic accurate. More than I thought it would be.” “They're really good at visual storytelling in the MCU. This is the next facet of that.” “Studio is what The Bear pretended to be for years.” “We're in the early stages of the law. You have to scrape the edges to shape something that makes sense.” “Can we just not do the multiverse? Let's stay in this universe.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this one, follow and subscribe, drop a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, and share the episode with a friend using #GeekFreaksPod.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright take on M. Night Shyamalan's Split, unpacking its psychological horror and deeper symbolic layers. They highlight James McAvoy's performance as Kevin Wendell Crumb and his 23 personalities, drawing parallels to narrative warfare and how media offers different “alters” of the same central message. The hosts dive into the good twin/evil twin dynamic, centralization versus decentralization, and how propaganda thrives on consensus while truth does not. Their discussion branches into Trump's communication style, trauma as both a weapon and a source of resilience, and how cultural manipulation echoes MK Ultra–style conditioning. They also examine connections to modern gender debates, linking the “they/them” identity to collectivism versus sovereignty, and the biblical concept of Legion as hive-minded evil. Closing thoughts tie Casey's survival, rooted in her scars and trauma, to humanity's antifragility and the danger of weaponized victimhood. This episode blends film critique, philosophy, and cultural analysis, showing how Split serves as a metaphor for narrative control, sovereignty, and the battle between good and evil.

“How could Jane Austen write so convincingly about love and heartbreak if she never fell in love?”In this episode, I'm joined by author and literary critic Paula Byrne to explore Jane Austen's love life, beyond the well-known stories.You might already know about the dashing Tom Lefroy, made famous in Becoming Jane with Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy. Or perhaps you've giggled at the tale of Harris Bigg-Wither, whose proposal Jane accepted only to change her mind and flee less than 24 hours later.But what if there was another man in her life... one whose story is filled with passion, longing, and heartbreak?Paula and I dive into the mysterious seaside romance Jane is believed to have experienced in the summer of 1801. Could this be the man who truly captured her heart? Paula's new novel Six Weeks by the Sea is her fictional reimagining of this emotional and enigmatic chapter of Austen's life.

Today, we catch up with James McAvoy, originally episode 133 from 2017-01-18.Original writeup below!A true smash of an episode right here as we welcome aboard the man with many faces, James McAvoy! Pip was able to snag some time with the warm and inviting Glasgow heavyweight to get in deep about his new film 'Split', directed by M Night Shyamalan, which is released on January 20th. The film concerns a main character with 'DID' (Dissociative Identity Disorder), played by James, who has an internal cast of around 23 personalities which we see rotate throughout the film. Surely an epic undertaking for any actor, and James breaks down his experience and how he approached this huge role. We hear how his past drama school days informed his outlook on his profession and how it can assist any actor's career, the film industry in general and Scotland's part in it, his acting past and in general, much science overall!...PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureIMDBPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITTERPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

The Blind Rage Podcast is making a splash with THE POOL a.k.a. SWIMMING POOL (2001), the rarely-seen slasher that dared to ask, “What if we trapped a bunch of rich, horny European teens in an Olympic-sized swimming pool and let a masked psycho go to town?” Oh, and did we mention a baby-faced James McAvoy is here to steal scenes (and maybe your heart)? Graduation should be a time for celebration, but for this group of private school brats, it's more of a bloodbath. Someone in a weird mask has a serious grudge, and they're taking their rage out with a variety of sharp objects. The body count rises, the plot makes… choices, and we question the decision to let this much chlorine mix with this much bad behavior.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 21ú lá de mí Aibreán, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1978 tháinig an nuacht amach go raibh an GAA sa Tuaisceart chun a dheontas de 130 míle punt a fháil ar ais ón Bhreatain. I 1989 tháinig sé amach go mbeadh an praghas den pheitreal chun dul suas chuig 12p a ghalún an mhí tar éis. I 1989 chaill 37 duine a bpost I mBaile an Mhuilinn. I 2006 bhí andúileach drugaí agus daoine ólta cúisithe de bharr go raibh siad ag tógáil am ó na haltraí agus gur rinne siad ionsaí ar na haltraí ag an ospidéal in Inis. Sin The Bangles le Eternal Flame – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1989. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2002 chuaigh Oasis chuig uimhir a haon sna cairteacha lena hamhrán Hindu Times. Bhí sé a séú huimhir a haon sa Bhreatain agus an chéad singil chun teacht ón albam nua Heathen Chemistry. I 2013 chuaigh 8 n-amhrán de Calvin Harris chuig na cairteacha ón albam amháin. Chuaigh a amhrán le Ellie Goulding darbh ainm I Need Your Love chuig uimhir 7. An t-amhránaí a rinne é sin cheana ná Michael Jackson – lena albam Bad agus Dangerous. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Robbie Amell I gCeanada I 1988 agus rugadh aisteoir James McAvoy san Albain ar an lá seo I 1979 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 21st of April, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: The gaa in the north were due to get back its £130,000 grant from Britian. 1989: motorists faced a petrol price rise of up to 12p a gallon starting next month, oil services predicted. 1989: there was a loss of 37 jobs in miltown malbay which was predicted last week. 2006: people described as druggies and drunks were accused of taking up nurses time and attacking nurses at the mid western regional hospital, ennis. That was The Bangles with Eternal Flame – the biggest song on this day in 1989. Onto music news on this day In 2002 Oasis went to No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Hindu Times', the bands sixth UK No.1 and the first single to be released from their fifth album Heathen Chemistry. 2013 Calvin Harris made chart history by becoming the first artist to have eight top 10 hits from one studio album. His track 'I Need Your Love', featuring singer Ellie Goulding, climbed to No.7 on the Official UK Chart. The DJ and producer from Dumfries, Scotland had overtaken Michael Jackson, who previously held the record with seven top 10 hits from both his 1987 album Bad and his 1991 record Dangerous And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Robbie Amell was born in Canada in 1988 and actor James McAvoy was born in Scotland on this day in 1979 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

We continue our slate of episodes looking back at the films of 2024 by covering two films at once! SPEAK NO EVIL was a Dutch horror nightmare written and directed by Christian Tafdrup that shook audiences with its bold, horrific narrative in 2022. Last year, James Watkins adapted an American remake starring James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis that drastically changed the final third of the story and reframed some differing themes.We're joined by friend of the show, writer and director of last year's What You Wish For, Nicholas Tomnay for a thoughtful and insightful discussion of the film's fascinating and complex themes, including our unwillingness to speak up when we're in awe of charismatic figures and our inability to break free from clear and present danger when we're worried about social norms.Also featuring a Patron-only segment where Lackey the Listicle counts down the 8 greatest horror remakes of all time, this is a hearty and fun conversation that we hope you all enjoy.Patron Only Segment: Lackey the Listicle on The Greatest Horror Remakes6:54 - SPEAK NO EVIL (2022 & 2024)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textKatie and Bridget come out of a wardrobe looking like Macklemore as they re-watch the fantasy adventure - The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe! It's a magical movie all about war, Nazis, the enslavement of people, Jesus dying for our sins... And fun talking animals! Wee! Come along as we meet the four siblings: There's Peter, the one who is allowed to be the main king because a wolf fell onto his sword; Susan, the one who is given a bow and arrow but is never taught how to use it/nobody lets her fight in the war anyway because she's a woman; Edmund, the one that ruins everything and seriously needs to get his shit together!!!!; and Lucy, the best of them all who should have been the leader of the army with her 1 inch switchblade. When the four of them stumble into Narnia they set out on a grand adventure that reminds us all how we don't really remember most of those bible stories despite going to church for years and years. And don't worry - Mr. Tumnus is there too! Released in 2005, it was based on the novel by C.S. Lewis and stars Tilda Swinton, James McAvoy, Georgie Henley, William Moseley, Skandar Keynes, Anna Popplewell, and Liam Neeson.
We have good news and bad news regarding our newest release, Speak No Evil. The good news: this movie is a creative take on an old topic with a badass protagonist. The bad news: those shirtless promos of James McAvoy were kind of misleading.
