Things are looking up for the MCU this week as Derek Miranda (@DerekMiranda85) and Karen Peterson (@KarenMPeterson) sit down to talk THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS As always, featured reviews are done in two parts, a NON-SPOILER review with letter grade and brief discussion, followed by a more in depth SPOILER review. PLOT SUMMARY: Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios' “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” introduces Marvel's First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Ben Grimm/The Thing and Johnny Storm/Human Torch as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer. And if Galactus' plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren't bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.

The Fantastic Four are finally back on the big screen, with Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps now out in theaters! It has been a nightmare watching some of my favorite characters in all of comics continuously get butchered in big screen adaptations, and Kevin Feige & Marvel Studios have been promising that they're finally gonna deliver a faithful adaptation of the Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four have, truly, always been some of my favorite characters in Marvel Comics. From the Byrne run of the '80s to the Jonathan Hickman run, they've also had some of my favorite long runs in all of Marvel. Even the current Ryan North run is fantastic. But for so long, film adaptations have never really understood what made the team awesome. The Fantastic Four: First Steps has been, without question, my most anticipated MCU movie of this era because all the trailers have really teased that this film will finally deliver on the intimate family dynamics, old-school optimism and whacky sci-fi of the stories I grew up loving. And the fact that this felt like the most unique movie in the entire MCU, because of it's setting and decor, was just a bonus. So, does The Fantastic Four: First Steps mark the triumphant arrival of some of the MCU's most captivating new characters, or is it another Multiverse Saga dud? Find out in this NON-SPOILER review!The Fantastic Four: First Steps:Directed by: Matt ShakmanScreenplay by: Josh Friedman and Eric Pearson and Jeff Kaplan & Ian SpringerStory by: Eric Pearson and Jeff Kaplan & Ian Springer and Kat WoodBased on the Marvel comics by: Stan Lee and Jack KirbyProduced by: Kevin FeigeCo-Producer: Mitch BellExecutive Producers: Louis D'Esposito, Grant Curtis, Tim LewisMusic by: Michael GiacchinoDirector of Photography: Jess HallEdited by: Nona Khodai, Tim RocheCasting by: Sarah FinnProduction Design by: Kasra FarahaniCostume Design by: Alexandra ByrneCast: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ralph Ineson, Julia Garner, Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, Sarah NilesSynopsis: Against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel's First Family is forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, while defending Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer.

What a wonderful day! Hayley has made her way out west for an LCD Soundsystem concert, which means your intrepid hosts are in the same room recording live in person for the very first time, as we took our best gals to see 2024's Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes on laser IMAX at the old SilverCity Coquitlam on a great trip through the many suburbs of Vancouver. And because they were in the room listening along during the recording anyway, J Mo and Haylz are joined on the mic by their respective life partners (platonic or otherwise) as Sydney Beaudin and Ashley Olson make their triumphant podcast debuts. It's an off-brand episode as we break the format to talk about a movie we saw in theatres, recorded mere hours after we had all just seen it. Directed by Wes Ball, written by Josh Friedman, and starring Owen Teague, Freya Allan, Kevin Durand, Peter Macon, Travis Jeffrey, Lydia Peckham and William H. Macy, Kingdom has a tough act to follow in the Caesar trilogy but still manages to offer its own unique thrills thanks in no small part to its overgrown ruin, post-apocalyptic setting. It's also a perfect demo reel for Ball to show he was the perfect choice to make a live action Legend of Zelda movie. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening to our discussion, it is of course currently in theatres everywhere, and will no doubt be streaming on Disney+ about five weeks from now. Other works discussed in this episode include Videodrome, The Fly, Crimes of the Future, A History of Violence, Eastern Promises, Scanners, Cosmopolis, Maps to the Stars, A Dangerous Method, The Maze Runner, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, Avatar: The Way of Water, The Lord of the Rings, Abigail, Real Steel, Deadpool & Wolverine, I.F., Harold & The Purple Crayon, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, and Twisters. We'll be back next week recording separately from our respective provinces as we welcome Mad Max: Fury Road into the podcast canon. That one is currently streaming in Canada on Crave and Starz at the time of publication. You can also grab it for $5 on Blu-ray from the discount bin at your local Walmart. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

With big shoes to fill, does Kingdom earn its place next to Rise, Dawn, & War? How does Noa's journey with apes and humans alike compare to that of Caesar?

Hey everyone, "what a wonderful day!" Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, one of my most anticipated movies of the year, has now hit theaters! I absolutely loved the previous trilogy, particular the latter two films directed by Matt Reeves (who went on to direct The Batman). The trailers for this film and how it seemed like this movie was going to handle the legacy of Caesar seemed awesome to me. So, is Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes a worthy continuation of one of the best reboots in film history? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review!

We are so much more then what we are assumed to be on the surface....On this very special episode we dive into the realm that is short film and take a look at a piece that was shortlisted for the BAFTA's and the Academy Awards. It's time for 'The One Note Man'.A musical man lives a careful life. Each day is like the next, just how he likes it. One day, however, misfortune and fate collide, breaking his routine and rocking his world forever.In our increasingly dour, serious and stressful world; 'The One Note Man' is a simply but glorious experience of individuality and humanity that will staple a smile on your face so fast you may never shake it off. It's a beautiful piece of cinema and a testament to the importance of the short form of filmmaking.We had the unique please of sitting down with Writer/Director George Siougas and Executive Producer Josh Friedman to talk about the origins of it all, the importance of short form cinema and ultimately always trying to live our dreams.
As a production assistant first coming up in the film and television industry in New York, Josh Friedman always saw his fellow crew members not as job competition, but as collaborators. Once he'd moved up to assistant director, Josh decided to share what he'd learned as a PA, and wrote "Getting It Done: The Ultimate Production Assistant Guide." His number one advice to production assistants is to listen. “More often than not, everybody is so excited to be the hero, to be the problem solver, to speak up and get the attention.” says Josh. “But they don't hear everything that's being asked. So this might be a two-part question. And they're only answering the first part without hearing the second part, which is actually more important.” With Crew Me Up, Josh and his partners have created a new job and networking app that connects filmmakers and production crew to film and TV jobs posted across different regions. It all started when he had to replace a crew member while on a shoot in Texas, and had a very hard time finding anyone local who could work. Crew Me Up allows users to build a profile that hosts information such as their availability calendar, resume, website and IMDB page. Instead of job listings that people apply for, users can directly find other members on the platform, and hire them directly. They can also join Crew Me Up groups, where there's many active film communities. The app also provides vendor and services listings for camera rentals, post production, and more across different regions. Find out more about Crew Me Up: Instagram: @crewmeup Joshua Friedman: @crubie_rex You can get the FREE Crew Me Up app for iPhones in the Apple store or for Android in the Google Play store.

Dr. Josh Friedman is a Psychologist by trade who brings multiple decades of experience to our show today. He recognized that many patient's needs were not being properly met early on into his career. Instead of just accepting things as they were, he dedicated himself to studying more and more in order to figure out how he could best serve the people he worked with. Because of his dedication, he has a very unique set perspectives when it comes to dealing with mental health naturally (he even went through FDN)! Our main focus for this podcast, though, will be Dr. Friedman's favorite method for supporting individual's mental health: amino acid therapy.

Buckle up, listeners – we're heading to Pandora. Avatar: The Way of Water is the long-awaited sequel to one of the biggest movies of all time, and our guests today are two of its talented co-writers. You might know Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver as the screenwriters behind the brilliant Planet of the Apes reboot trilogy and 2015's Jurassic World. If you're familiar with those movies, you'll know exactly why legendary director James Cameron chose the pair as collaborators for this sequel to his 2009 sci-fi fantasia – both of those franchises snuck sideswipes at man's exploitation of the natural world into their exciting set-pieces and blockbuster action.The Way of Water is a much more complex movie than the first Avatar, with a lot more moving parts, some of which are seeds for movies to come (this is the first in a number of sequels that Amanda and Rick have also worked on, in production now). The film picks up with our heroes from the first movie, Jake (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), fighting another battle fourteen years after the Battle of the Hallelujah Mountains – parenthood. The pair have had a family and now have an even more pronounced reason to protect their land from the colonisers from Earth, seeking to make Pandora man's new home, having wrecked their own.Rick and Amanda – who have been married since 1989 and collaborating since 1992's The Hand That Rocks The Cradle – told us all about how the Way of Water's screenplay came together. We get into exactly how they, Cameron and fellow co-writer Josh Friedman brought back the villainous Colonel Quaritch, the Mowgli-esque origins of new character Spider, and the environmental truths about our own climate change-stricken world that the film takes aim at. There's also a thorough breakdown of that death in the film's final act, and Al at various points attempts to speak Na'vi. Badly, naturally.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

After Jeff, John, and Dave rant about how critics are doing film-goers a great disservice (Owen Gleiberman, click-baiting Avatar haters), the boys discuss Avatar: The Way of Water. Despite this movie having pretty favorable reviews among critics and incredibly favorable reviews among audiences, it pains us to be haters since we love movies so much and people aren't supporting new films the way we used to. It's led Dave to drink. He didn't get drunk because he turned 50, it's because an actual critic called Avatar: TWOF a "Smurfahontas Stodgeathon", which is horesheet. And because it eases the pain of being alive as a human, as opposed to a Na'vi. Anyway, our job is to keep it positive, and we mostly do!

In this episode, we were fresh out of hydrogen so we need to watch Chain Reaction (1996) to learn how to make some more. How does this Cold Fusion adjacent movie draw on nuclear themes for its plot? Does the subplot about our heroes being framed as spies for China stealing national secrets have parallels to real life events? Did Evel Kinevil ever jump his stunt bike over a mushroom cloud? Tim Westmyer (@NuclearPodcast) and returning special guest Kevin answer these questions and more. Before we powered the city of Chicago with our Nalgene bottle, we recommend: -The Fugitive (1993 movie) -The Saint (1997 movie) -Gary Taubes, Bad Science: The Short Life and Weird Times of Cold Fusion, 1993 -Eduro Life Media, “Impossible Climb Andler 2019 – Dirt Bike Graveyard – Hill Climb,” YouTube -David Grann, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, 2017 We also recommend checking out: • Josh Friedman, “I'm Your Friend, Eddie,” I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing (Blog), August 24, 2005 • Free Energy Suppression Conspiracy Theory, Wikipedia • Beth Laski, “Reeves, Davis Ring Up ‘Dead' Cash,” Variety, January 8, 1995 • Tim Prokop, “Causing a Chain Reaction,” Movie (Aus), January/February 1997 • William J.

We then turn to Josh's thoughts on the evolution of credit markets, liquidity, competitive dynamics among creditors, opportunities, and risks. We close with Josh's advice for investment committees based on his experience as a Trustee at Harvard Management, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and CalTech, among others.
