Welkom bij Nerd Culture #216, jouw wekelijkse dosis films, series, comics en alles daartussenin. Deze week staan we stil bij het overlijden van cultacteur Michael Madsen en duiken we in verse MCU-geruchten: Spider-Man en The Punisher die samen tegen de Savage Hulk knokken? Yes please! Ook bespreken we het nieuws dat Disney een volledige Indiana Jones reboot wil. Natuurlijk delen we onze kijktips, knallen we door trailers, bespreken we Squid Game Season 3, The Batman II, Akira, en nog veel meer. Pak je drankje, leun achterover en nerd met ons mee!Michael Madsen op 67-jarige leeftijd overledenHollywood heeft afscheid moeten nemen van een ware cultheld: Michael Madsen, de iconische acteur met de gruizige stem en de dreigende uitstraling, is overleden op 67-jarige leeftijd. Hij werd wereldberoemd als de sadistische Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs en als Budd in Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 — rollen waarmee hij onvergetelijk werd in Quentin Tarantino's bloederige universum. Maar zijn nalatenschap reikt veel verder dan dat: met meer dan 300 filmcredits, van Donnie Brasco tot Sin City, bouwde Madsen een reputatie als Hollywood's ultieme bad guy met een rauw randje. Ondanks persoonlijke tragedies en een bewogen privéleven, werkte hij tot het laatst aan nieuwe indieprojecten en een dichtbundel. Een echte outlaw tot het einde.The Punisher en Spider-Man slaan de handen ineenEr gonzen nieuwe geruchten rond Spider-Man: Brand New Day, de volgende MCU-film met Tom Holland. Volgens insider Daniel Richtman gaan Spider-Man en Jon Bernthal's Punisher samen de strijd aan met een Savage Hulk, terwijl een Gang War woedt op de achtergrond. Wie de Hulk precies op de helden afstuurt is nog onduidelijk — Mister Negative lijkt een kanshebber. De film zou zwaar leunen op de gelijknamige controversiële comicrun waarin Peter's leven flink werd gereset. Met Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi) als regisseur belooft deze Spidey een wilde rit te worden richting juli 2026.Disney gaat Indiana Jones volledig rebootenTot slot lijkt het erop dat Lucasfilm en Disney nog niet klaar zijn met Indiana Jones. Na het tegenvallende resultaat van Dial of Destiny wil de studio de legendarische archeoloog een frisse start geven met een volledige reboot. Volgens insiders wordt de franchise eerst even in de ijskast gezet, maar een officiële aankondiging wordt al verwacht tijdens de D23 Expo volgend jaar. Indy-fans kunnen dus alvast gaan speculeren over wie de nieuwe hoed en zweep zal dragen.Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:00:30 Wat gaan we vandaag doen? 00:01:15 comic ding verdedigers 00:10:40 Twin Peaks aflevering 100:18:24 Squid Game Season 300:21:21 john cena film met idris elba00:26:41 The Running Man Trailer00:31:09 Michael Madsen op 67-jarige leeftijd overleden00:35:34 Eerste blik op de Amerikaanse Squid Game00:37:43 Disney gaat de Indiana Jones franchise rebooten00:43:34 Warner Bros heeft niet langer de rechten van Akira in handen00:45:50 Ichiban introduceert motor geïnspireerd door Akira00:48:56 She Rides Shotgun Trailer00:52:20 Matt Reeves heeft het script van The Batman II af00:56:56 Nicholas Hoult wil een team-up met The Joker in James Gunn's DCU00:59:52 David Corenswet hoopt dan weer op een r-rated Superman film01:02:48 Spider-Man en Punisher slaan de handen ineen tegen Savage Hulk01:05:00 TMNT keert terug in de bioscoop voor 35-jarig jubileum01:07:38 The Fast and the Furious 11 haalt opnieuw het lijk van Paul Walker uit de kast01:13:39 Neil Druckmann stapt weg bij seizoen drie van The Last of Us01:15:29 tom cruise01:19:10 Project Hail Mary Trailer#michaelmadsen #squidgame #indianajones #marvel #dc #superman #spiderman ------Spotify ► https://spoti.fi/2qhR6lrApple Podcast ► https://apple.co/3GzfqqDTwitter ► https://www.twitter.com/NerdCulturePCInstagram ► https://www.instagram.com/NerdCulture.PCJelle ► https://www.twitter.com/GKJelleHuey ► https://www.twitter.com/RealHueyBrownKoos ► https://www.twitter.com/jtmooten

MobLand has been renewed for Season 2 at Paramount+. More gritty, small-town crime drama incoming. Mark Hamill clears the air, saying there's no bad blood with Last Jedi director Rian Johnson — admitting maybe he was too hard on the film and his own performance as Luke Skywalker.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesIt's a big week for Marvel news! First up, Jon Bernthal has joined the cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, as his take on The Punisher makes the transition from Marvel Television to the big screen. He joins newcomer Sadie Sink, alongside Zendaya and Jacob Batalon who were also confirmed to be returning as MJ and Ned, respectively. Elsewhere, on Wednesday Disney announced that Marvel Studios is scheduled to release an untitled film slated for December 15, 2028, which if holds true, would be the studio's fourth theatrical offering for that year. In Variety's article on said possible fourth 2028 Marvel Studios film, the writer suggested that Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier has gone from being in talks, to officially tapped as the director for the upcoming X-Men film. Fresh details on the recently cast Clayface film from DC Studios co-head James Gunn said the film would be R-rated during his appearance on the DC Studios Showcase Official Podcast. "It's just a great horror movie that is a great, smart, fun horror movie which is in a genre that I happen to love, which is body horror," he said; continuing with, "It's rated R… It's not anything now because the MPA has to watch it, but it's most likely rated R. It's pretty intense." In other DCU news, box office tracking for Superman via the National Research Group (NRG) has the film projected to open between $125 and $145 million domestically, with more conservative estimates ranging between $90 and $125 million. The fledgling DCU certainly seems to be living up to its Gods and Monsters thematic moniker. It was a story of highs and lows at the box office this weekend, with the newcomers 28 Years Later and Pixar's Elio unable to dethrone Dreamworks' live action How To Train Your Dragon remake, which passed $358 million at the global box office in just two weeks. Although both new films bowed to the reigning champ, the narrative is far more devastating for Pixar and Elio; despite positive critical reviews, the celebrated animation studio's latest feature struggled to muster even a meager $35 million globally; a record low and troubling sign concerning the performance, or lack thereof, for original films at Pixar. Danny Boyles' legacy horror sequel 28 Years Later fared far better, debuting to $30 million both domestically and internationally, for a $60 million total haulMarvel Comics has announced Spider-Man '94, a four issue limited comic run that will close the cliffhanger left by Spider-Man The Animated Series from its final episode in 1998. The series is written by long-time Spidey veteran and a writer on the original animated series, J.M. DeMatteis, with art by Jim Towe. Russell Crowe is boarding at Amazon MGM Studios and United Artists' Highlander in the Ramirez mentor role made famous by Sean Connery in the original 1986 movie. He joins Henry Cavill who is playing the lead role. AMC has released a teaser trailer for season 3 of Walking Dead spin off Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and announced that the series will premiere on September 7. James Bobin, director of The Muppets, is in talks to helm Netflix's Dragon's Lair, based on the classic 1980s arcade game, per The Hollywood Reporter. Ryan Reynolds, originally set to star, but no longer, is producing alongside Roy Lee, Trevor Engelson, and game creators Don Bluth, Gary Goldman, and Jon Pomeroy.Warner Bros. Pictures has released a new trailer for ‘Weapons' written and directed by Zach Cregger which offers more eerie footage from the film.It's a big week for fans of Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding franchise; Death Stranding 2: On the Beach releases this week on June 26, for the Playstation 5 exclusively. Kojima Productions also announced an animated feature film being written by Raised by Wolves‘ Aaron Guzikowski; this is in addition to the previously announced live action Death Stranding film adaptation in development.

Frank, Jonathan, and Squeaks explore why Marvel continues to dominate over DC in the video game industry and discuss potential strategies for DC's gaming revival. Frank gives an insightful review of Pixar's Elio, highlighting its originality and emotional storytelling. The hosts also debate the ideal director for the next James Bond film, speculate on the future of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and analyze Jon Bernthal's return as Punisher in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Plus, catch some entertaining moments, including Squeaks' memorable appearance in a Donkey Kong onesie! Timestamps and Topics: 00:00: Squeaks' Donkey Kong Onesie and Halloween Plans 01:26: Choosing Between Denis Villeneuve and Edgar Wright for Next Bond Film 06:13: Jon Bernthal Returns as Punisher in Spider-Man: Brand New Day 13:58: Russell Crowe Joins Henry Cavill in Highlander Reboot 18:31: Blumhouse Acquires the Saw Franchise 23:24: Upcoming Pixar Projects: Hoopers, Gato, and Toy Story 5 28:01: Final Season Announcement for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 34:48: Pixar's Elio Movie Review and Analysis 43:14: Marvel vs DC Gaming: How Marvel Wins and DC's Path Forward Key Takeaways: Marvel's success in gaming is driven by varied partnerships, genre diversity, and risk-taking. DC Gaming relies too heavily on Batman games; diversification is essential. Pixar's Elio delivers a fresh, emotionally rich story with strong visuals. Strategic director choices for the James Bond franchise are critical for appealing to newer audiences. Upcoming Marvel games (Wolverine, Iron Man, Marvel Tokken) maintain excitement, while DC needs fresh ideas. Memorable Quotes: “Marvel isn't afraid to experiment; DC needs to step outside the Batman box.” “It's time to engage a younger audience—fresh ideas are essential for iconic franchises.” “Superman deserves gameplay mechanics as exciting and satisfying as Spider-Man's web-swinging.” Call to Action: Enjoy the conversation?

This week, Travis is joined by Tim Lowe to talk about the 2016 film The Accountant. Starring Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal, with JK Simmons, John Lithgow, Jean Smart, Cynthia Addai-Robinson and Jeffrey Tambor. Travis hadn't seen this one before, but it was apparently well liked enough to get a sequel this year. So, is this one worth watching? Or is it just another generic action movie about a seemingly average guy who happens to be a badass? Let's find out...Head over to https://horsegirls.club/ to find Tim's podcast with Alex and JennaThanks go out to Audie Norman (@TheAudieNorman) for the album art.

As a huge fan of the underappreciated original, I could not be more disappointed by this utter slop. "Critics think it's better than the original"?! How?! By watering down and denuding everything that was different and special about the first film, until it's homogenized garbage? Even Ben Affleck's lead doesn't escape, his previous intensity as the autistic hitman, is now just goofy and the usually reliable ace in the deck, Jon Bernthal, has never been so annoying.
This week, the numbers man is back and this time he's brought his brother, as we go back to our roots by revisiting the brand new sequel for a movie we first covered nearly three years ago! It's 2025's The Accountant 2, directed by Gavin O'Connor and starring Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, J.K. Simmons, Daniella Pineda, Alison Wright and Robert Morgan. Anna Kendrick does not return for this one, but the movie aptly fills the void left by her absence by letting the Wolff Boys bro out for the bulk of the run-time this time around, and Bernthal is particularly outstanding in what is pure, uncut Dudes Rock cinema. Does the story make sense? Does it even matter? As the original found second life on TV and streaming, this nine-years-later sequel has been built to fill a three-hour programming block on cable in the not-so-distant future. The plot is needlessly complicated and hard to follow, but frankly none of that matters and the film is still fun as hell. Plus: we catch up on some recent theatrical outings, including Thunderbolts*, Bring Her Back, Final Destination: Bloodlines, Friendship and Clown in a Cornfield. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, The Accountant 2 is already available to stream on Amazon Prime despite the fact that it dropped in theaters a month and a half ago. Other works discussed on this episode include Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Dick Tracy, Top Gun, The NeverEnding Story, Crimes of the Future, Talk To Me, Tucker & Dale vs Evil, Hot Fuzz, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, Dog Man, Point of No Return and many more! We'll be back before too long, but we don't know when or what movie we'll be talking about, so keep your eye on our Instagram and BlueSky feeds for more. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
The Film Buff explores the evolution of sequels, franchises, and the rise of the term "IP" in modern cinema, offering context for what makes The Accountant 2 stand out. Far from a typical action sequel, the film shines through its rich, character-driven moments, particularly the compelling dynamic between Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal. Their nuanced performances elevate the narrative, creating a sequel that prioritizes emotional depth and human connection over conventional action tropes, setting a new standard for the genre.
Eric, Jeff, Sheek, Styles and Jadakiss got together in Yonkers to break down The Accountant 2, the 2025 American action thriller sequel to The Accountant (2016). Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, and J. K. Simmons reprise their roles from the previous film, with Daniella Pineda joining the cast. We discuss Ben Affleck's acting choices, how much comedy we want in an action film, how charitable one can really be in life, how much we all hold onto grudges, if we're really being watched by secret tracking forces, manifesting vs. delusion, best practices when visiting Mexico, whether Stevie Wonder is really blind, and much, much more!!!
