Send us a textEver wonder what happens when three grown men with minimal Minecraft knowledge attempt to review the billion-dollar blockbuster that has kids everywhere obsessed? The answer is both hilarious and illuminating.Join Hayden, Tom, and Mitch (aka Randy the Mitchell Man Savage) as they break down Minecraft: The Movie, the Jared Hess-directed adaptation starring Jack Black, Jason Momoa, and Jennifer Coolidge. Fresh from their annual Free Comic Book Day live show, the hosts dive into this unlikely box office sensation that has already grossed $845 million worldwide despite mixed critical reception.The conversation explores the film's plot about characters discovering a portal to the Minecraft universe, the creative liberties taken with game mechanics, and the meme-worthy moments that have children losing their minds in theaters (particularly Jack Black's "Lava Chicken" song). While the hosts acknowledge the movie isn't aimed at their demographic, they offer thoughtful insights about why it resonates so powerfully with its intended audience.The episode takes an even more entertaining turn when the hosts attempt a 50-question Minecraft trivia challenge that quickly exposes their gaming knowledge gaps. Their increasingly desperate guesses and creative workarounds will have you laughing along as they tackle questions ranging from basic game mechanics to obscure Minecraft facts. The segment perfectly captures the generational divide between casual adult observers and the children who live and breathe this digital world.Before wrapping up, the hosts share updates on upcoming entertainment projects including potential adaptations of Judge Dredd, Zelda, Power Rangers, and more. Whether you're a parent trying to understand your child's Minecraft obsession, a casual gamer, or just someone who enjoys authentic, funny conversation about pop culture, this episode delivers entertainment and insights in equal measure.Support the show

60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens has resigned amid mounting pressure on Paramount Global to settle a $20 billion lawsuit from Donald Trump. What could a deal with the president mean for Shari Redstone’s legacy? Kim Masters and Matt Belloni dive in. Plus, Masters speaks to Jared Hess about his pop-culture-shifting filmography which includes cult classics Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre. He’s currently enjoying the wild success of A Minecraft Movie, as that 2025 video game adaptation careens towards a billion dollar box office haul. Hess reflects on the unpredictable nature of success in filmmaking, and says he’s especially grateful to producer Mary Parent for understanding his oddball comedic sensibilities and inviting him into the world of Minecraft.

This week, The Filmlosophers are venturing into the blocky world of the big screen with a likely painful discussion of the latest video game adaptation, A Minecraft Movie. But the cinematic critique takes a bizarre turn as they address the alarming reports of disruptive behavior erupting in theaters during certain scenes of the film. Plus, they welcome their newest intern, the enthusiastic Intern Jesus, to the team! In this chaotic episode: Minecraft Movie Meltdown: The team will bravely (and perhaps begrudgingly) dissect A Minecraft Movie, analyzing its success (or more likely, its failures) in translating the beloved game to a cinematic experience. Expect discussions on story, visuals, and whether it captures the essence of building and survival. Theater of Terror: Minecraft Mayhem: The Filmlosophers will delve into the strange phenomenon of disruptive behavior during A Minecraft Movie screenings, pontificating on the breakdown of theater decorum and offering their (likely exasperated) thoughts on cinema etiquette. Welcoming Intern Jesus!: The crew introduces their newest intern, Intern Jesus, to the Filmlosophers family! They'll discuss his passion for film, his favorite (and perhaps surprising) guilty pleasure movies, and why his unique perspective makes him a perfect fit for the team. Join The Filmlosophers for an episode that's a bizarre blend of cinematic disappointment, social commentary on unruly audiences, and the welcoming of a new, divinely named intern. It's going to be a blocky, boisterous, and utterly unique discussion! So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's block-tacular episode of The Filmlosophers!
Joe and Special Guest Marc discuss the state of movies today. Joe presents 3 topics that he believes are connected. The first topic is a badly written poorly researched article about the original 1954 Godzilla film. How did such a poor article get published? It truly is all about the clicks and has nothing to do with quality. The second is the cash-grab spectacle of Avengers: Doomsday. Is this a desperate attempt to make the MCU relevant again? Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Robert Downey Jr., they just could not say no! The third is the unruly behavior in the screenings of the Minecraft movie. It is not enough to laugh and enjoy a movie in public, now people must destroy property, throw objects through the air, and ruin the theatre-going experience for those who just want to see a movie in a theatre! Not to mention how this absolutely disrespects the people who work in these movie theatres! This behavior will cause people to stay home! This behavior will hurt business for movie theatres! It is amazing how Jared Hess, the director of Minecraft movie, does not see this and endorses this behavior. Check out the Godzilla article for yourself. https://www.cbr.com/godzilla-harsh-realities/Check out Jared Hess' comments for yourself.https://www.indiewire.com/news/general-news/a-minecraft-movie-director-supports-chaos-in-theaters-1235115153/Is Joe nuts?

In this laugh-out-loud episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas go block by block through the new Minecraft movie!

Frank, a long-time Minecraft player, points out the deep fan-service and hidden tributes (yes, even Technoblade), while Thomas, with fresh eyes, just enjoys the ride. They discuss if the movie is truly "bad but fun," how it mirrors TikTok generation energy, and why this film is proof that cinema is still alive for younger audiences. Expect plenty of Minecraft lore, movie industry talk, and a hilarious critique of Jason Momoa's character. If you love movies, games, and energetic conversations that don't hold back, this one's for you!

Audience participation feels like a Rocky Horror experience, with popcorn flying. Jared Hess brings his signature quirkiness, reminiscent of Napoleon Dynamite. The Technoblade tribute was a heartfelt moment for Minecraft fans. The movie highlights Minecraft's core creativity, showing how different play styles shape experiences. While the movie is structurally messy, it excels in delivering a fun, shared theater experience. The film's true strength is the communal vibe—fun for families and Minecraft enthusiasts alike.

In this special DOUBLE FEATURE episode we talk weirdos, friendships, and low budget cult classics . First up Mike and Matt join to give their thoughts on the film that gave us Jon Heder's breakout lead role. It's the 2004 coming of age comedy, 'Napoleon Dynamite' (04:00) Then after a quick trip to the lobby (32:50) we head back into the theater to take it down a notch and look at Emily Skeggs and Kyle Gallner in 2020's unabashedly punk-rock, dark comedy 'Dinner In America' (35:35).email: openmicmovies@latertaterfilms.comwebsite: openmicmovies.buzzsprout.cominstagram: @latertaterfilms
BFG film critic Lani Gonzalez saw 'A Minecraft Movie' at 4 PM on a Friday with her kids, and it wasn't one of the more raucous Minecraft screenings. But it definitely doesn't surprise her that the movie made a tremendous amount of money. Minecraft is the most popular game in the world right now. "The youth of America and the world are bringing energy to the theater," she tells Neal Pollack on this week's podcast. "It gives me hope," Neal says. That said, Lani tells Neal, it was not the best possible movie they could have made, despite Jack Black's tremendous energy. Strangely, Jared Hess, who also made Napoleon Dynamite, directed A Minecraft Movie. What an unusual culture phenomenon.Meanwhile, in the real world, American museums are facing tremendous budget cuts from the Trump Administration. Sharyn Vane joins Neal to talk about this disturbing trend, and highlights the struggles of a basically apolitical children's museum in Madison, Wisconsin, which, like so many other people and institutions, is finding itself caught up in the winds of massive political change. It may not be as dire as we think, or it might be more dire.Val Kilmer died last week at age 65, and Stephen Garrett joins Neal to talk about the work and legacy of one of our more eccentric and talented screen actors. Neal, as is his tendency, pretty much just talks about Top Secret! the entire time, but Stephen broadens the scope a bit and discussions Kilmer's unique filmography and his life as a truly strange and beautiful man of California. RIP Val Kilmer, the world will miss and remember you.This episode is pure BFG: cinematic history, a little politics, a little light pop culture. If you listened to this show, you'd understand everything that's going on. So listen! Thank you very much.

It was directed by Jared Hess and written by Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, Neil Widener, Gavin James, and Chris Galletta, from a story by Allison Schroeder, Bowman, and Palmer.

In the film, four misfits are pulled through a portal into a cubic world that thrives on imagination, having no choice but to master the world while embarking on a quest with an expert crafter named Steve.Plans for a Minecraft film adaptation originated in 2014, when game creator Markus Persson revealed that Mojang was in talks with Warner Bros. Pictures to develop the project. Throughout its development, A Minecraft Movie shifted between several directors, producers, and story drafts. By 2022, Legendary Entertainment became involved, and Hess was hired as director with Momoa in talks to star. Further casting took place from May 2023 to January 2024. Principal photography began later that month in New Zealand and concluded in April 2024. Mark Mothersbaugh composed the score, and Sony Pictures Imageworks, Wētā FX, and Digital Domain provided the films visual effects.A Minecraft Movie had its world premiere at Empire, Leicester Square in London on March 30, 2025, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 4. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances of the cast, though some were divided on its plot and faithfulness to the source material.

Pictures to develop the project, with Roy Lee and Jill Messick producing. During development, filmmakers Shawn Levy, Rob McElhenney, and Peter Sollett, were initially hired to direct, while writers Kieran and Michele Mulroney, Jason Fuchs, Aaron and Adam Nee, and Allison Schroeder, were attached. In April 2022, Legendary Entertainment became involved, with Hess hired as the new director and Momoa in talks to star. Further casting took place from May 2023 to January 2024. Principal photography began later that month in New Zealand and concluded in mid-April 2024.A Minecraft Movie had its world premiere at Empire, Leicester Square in London, United Kingdom, on March 30, 2025, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 4, 2025.

Send us a text This week on Fabulous Film & Friends, we're going to scale down and take a look at the freakin' sweet indie filmmaking skills of director Jared Hess with his 2004 quirky sleeper hit, Napoleon Dynamite starring Jon Heder, John Gries, Aaron Ruell, Efron Ramirez, Tina Majorino, Haylie Duff, Trevor Snarr, Shondrella Avery, and Diedrich Bader alongside the even quirkier and sleepier box office bomb, Gentlemen Broncos, made in 2009 and starring Michael Angarano, Jermaine Clement, Jennifer Coolidge, Halley Feiffer, Hectór Jiménez, Mike White and Sam Rockwell. This week I have a panel of awesome wizards from Idaho and Utah in David Johnson, DDS and Burton along with Texas fantasy author and hypnotherapist Joe Field, all three of whom are fully qualified to comment on the veracity and value of these two unconventional productions. Before we enter a bizarro universe of dry lips, brown suits with snowboots, and retro-primitive laser battles against rocket launching chordate, the synopses: In Napoleon Dynamite an awkward, misunderstood but spirited high schooler hits back at the status quo in small town Preston Idaho, drawing fantastic creatures, dancing to funky music and standing by Pedro Sanchez, a new student who bravely runs for class president. Gentlemen Broncos follows Benjamin Purvis, a young, homeschooled writer whose sci-fi story Yeast Lords is plagiarized by Dr. Ronald Chevalier, a washed-up author teaching seminars for high school students.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton is in talks to helm the fourth Spider-Man movie for Sony and Marvel Studios. While neither Sony or Marvel have provided a comment at this time, this is in line with previous reports and claims that a fourth Spider-Man film with Tom Holland was being fast-tracked to begin shooting next year. Though he only has one MCU feature under his belt, Cretton is already beginning to feel like a bit of an elder statesman within the Marvel Studios stable of filmmakers, having been previously attached to The Kang Dynasty before it became Avengers: Doomsday and creating the Wonderman series that is in production. Early reviews from Venice Film Festival screenings for Joker: Folie a Deux, the sequel to 2019's Joker, hit the internet last week, with the response to the musical follow-up decidedly mixed. Critics seem divided on the film's uneven tone, with criticisms citing a plodding narrative and underutilization of Lady Gaga. Positive takes celebrated the performances of Phoenix and Gaga, as well as Philips' direction. In a July 2024 interview, Kevin Fiege confirmed more Marvel Studios Special Presentations, like Werewolf By Night and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, were on the way, with one actively in production at the time– sounds like old news, but now, Marvel Head of Streaming, Television and Animation Brad Winderbaum, doubled down on the promise while speaking with Comicbook.com. Previously, Feige detailed that the Special Presentation wouldn't air in 2025, but 2026, though Winderbaum's answer seems to insinuate it could be sooner. James Earl Jones, the legendary actor known for his iconic baritone as Darth Vader in Star Wars, died Monday at his Dutchess County, N.Y. home. He was 93. Warner Brothers has released the trailer for A Minecraft Movie, starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa and directed by Jared Hess. The game-based film premieres in theaters on April 4, 2025. Ahead of the main Emmy Awards scheduled for Sunday, September 15, last weekend saw the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony held at downtown Los Angeles' Peacock Theater, where the FX network enjoyed an incredibly successful evening. With 14 wins, Shogun broke the record for a single season of television, while The Bear took home 7 awards as well. Notable wins include The Dark Knight's Nestor Carbonell as the best guest actor for his role as the Portuguese merchant Rodrigues, and Jamie Lee Curtis for best guest actress in a comedy series for her appearance in The Bear, her first Emmy win. Alison Brie has been cast as a key villain role of Evil-Lyn in Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films' live-action take on Masters of the Universe. Only Murders in the Building has been renewed for season five. Currently, season four is dropping weekly episodes on Hulu every Tuesday, leading up to the finale on October 29. Netflix has greenlit the long-rumored Twilight animated series, now in production. Based on Stephenie Meyer's Midnight Sun, it retells Twilight from Edward Cullen's perspective. In a deleted blog post, Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin criticized creative choices in House of the Dragon's second season, hinting at future posts addressing issues. HBO responded, citing the need for "difficult choices" due to the scope of Martin's work. A Reacher spinoff is in development at Amazon Prime, with showrunner Nick Santora writing. The series is expected to focus on Frances Neagley, played by Maria Sten. In a PEOPLE interview, Michael Keaton revealed his real name is Michael Douglas, but he had to change it when joining SAG-AFTRA in the 1970s. Now, he plans to use a hybrid name, Michael Keaton Douglas, for future projects.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're pulling on our moon boots and diving into the quirky, offbeat world of Napoleon Dynamite (2004). Directed by Jared Hess and starring Jon Heder in a role that became instantly iconic, this indie comedy is a beloved exploration of rural teenage life, full of oddball humour and memorable characters.Napoleon Dynamite unfolds in the rural town of Preston, Idaho, where life is slow and the people are a colourful mix of odd and endearing. The film follows the life of its titular character, Napoleon Dynamite, a socially awkward high school student with a unique blend of innocence and eccentricity.The film doesn't follow a traditional plot structure; instead, it's a series of vignettes detailing Napoleon's daily life. From dealing with his unemployed 32-year-old brother Kip and their scheming Uncle Rico to helping his friend Pedro run for class president, the film's charm lies in its celebration of the mundane. It's filled with dry humour, awkward pauses, and moments that are strangely heartwarming.Napoleon Dynamite stands out for its minimalist style and deadpan comedy. It's a film that makes an art out of everyday awkwardness. At its core, Napoleon Dynamite is about embracing your individuality and finding acceptance. It's a celebration of being different and finding kinship in unlikely places. The film subtly addresses themes of loneliness, ambition, and the desire to belong, all wrapped in a comedic package that's both absurd and endearing.So, whether you're revisiting this early 2000s gem or experiencing Napoleon's antics for the first time, join us on Bad Dads Film Review as we delve into the idiosyncratic charm of "Napoleon Dynamite."

Based on the children's book series of the same name by Aaron Blabey, the children's animated musical stars the voice talents of Brittany Howard, Will Forte, Jemaine Clement, Edi Patterson, Fred Armisen, Zach Galifianakis, Jon Heder, and Shondrella Avery. Howard, making her acting debut with this film, was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her experience making the film, as did Will Forte and directors Jared Hess and Lynn Wang. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream on Netflix. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
