Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. In today's Coming Soon edition of the show, I sit down to discuss the trailers for Mortal Kombat 2 and the alleged "unhinged" cast announcements for the Street Fighter reboot set to come out in March 2026. Here I give my take if MK2 is going to finally make me a believer in Karl Urban, and I give my opinion if the cast for Street Fighter is really that insane (and if that is a bad thing).

Karl Urban is playing Johnny Cage in the upcoming movie Mortal Kombat 2, and the character has starred in a fake action movie trailer ahead of the actual trailer for the video game adaptation. Although Johnny Cage wasn't in the first film, Karl Urban's character is set to play a major role in Mortal Kombat 2, as is proven by this fake piece of action movie promotional material.The trailer is for a fake in-universe movie titled Uncaged Fury, which is a corny action film starring Johnny Cage. The teaser shows Cage fighting several goons in a warehouse, with an epic voiceover explaining that Cage is seeking revenge after the criminals "pissed him off" and "f*cked with his shades."Cage manages to easily knock out the goons before a bazooka is fired at him, with him leaping over the missile. The teaser also shows off some of Cage's past in-universe movies, with it naming fake New Line Cinema films Cool Hand Cage, Hard to Cage, and Rebel Without a Cage.Support The Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/roose366/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow For More Content &Streams!Twitch: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.twitch.tv/roosejp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kick: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kick.com/roosejp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@Roose366 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube Gaming: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RooseJp/videos⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@podcastonanime⁠⁠

Welkom bij Nerd Culture Episode 2018, de podcast waar popcultuur, films en nostalgie elkaar elke week in de armen vliegen. Deze week gaan we vol in de spoilers met een uitgebreide nabespreking van James Gunn's Superman. We reviewen ook Ballerina, de John Wick-spin-off met Ana de Armas, én Marvel's nieuwste poging tot iets fris met Thunderbolts. Daarnaast veel heet nerdnieuws: van Judge Dredd door Taika Waititi tot Zelda-casting, Mortal Kombat II, Stranger Things S5, en nog véél meer. Kortom: Nerd Culture zoals je het gewend bent. Let's go!Superman Spoiler ReviewSpoiler alert! In deze aflevering van Nerd Culture duiken we diep in James Gunn's nieuwe Superman, dit keer mét Jelle aan tafel. We bespreken alles wat vorige week nog onbesproken bleef: van het openingsshot tot de climax, de rol van Lex Luthor, Krypto's screentime, en Gunn's visie op het DCU als geheel. Wat werkt er wél, wat niet, en wat belooft dit voor de toekomst van DC? Als je de film nog niet hebt gezien: dit is je laatste kans om weg te zappen. Ballerina ReviewWe bespreken Ballerina, de nieuwste spin-off in het John Wick-universum met Ana de Armas in de hoofdrol. Is dit een stijlvolle uitbreiding van de Wick-wereld of een nutteloze zijstap? We duiken in de actiechoreografie, worldbuilding, bekende gezichten (hallo, Keanu!) en vragen ons af of dit de juiste richting is voor de franchise. De film belooft veel, maar weet hij het niveau van John Wick vast te houden? Wij delen onze ongezouten mening.Thunderbolts / The New Avengers ReviewWe hebben eindelijk Marvel's Thunderbolts gezien. In deze review bespreken we of dit antiheldenteam — met o.a. Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova en Red Guardian — het MCU nieuw leven inblaast of juist voelt als mosterd na de maaltijd. Hoe verhoudt de toon zich tot eerdere Marvel-projecten? Werkt het teamdynamiek? En is dit het begin van een donkerdere, gedurfde Marvel-fase? Wij nemen je mee door de highs, lows en alles ertussenin.Judge Dredd krijgt reboot met Taika WaititiTaika Waititi stapt naar Mega-City One! De regisseur van Thor: Ragnarok werkt aan een nieuwe Judge Dredd-film, geschreven door Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3, Hobbs & Shaw). Volgens insiders krijgt deze versie een iets lichtere toon dan de eerdere, rauwe interpretaties met Stallone en Karl Urban. Wat betekent dat voor een franchise die bekendstaat om z'n grimmige dystopie en ultrageweld? Is Waititi de juiste man om Dredd naar het grote scherm terug te brengen? Wij bespreken wat we tot nu toe weten — en of dit goed nieuws is voor Dredd-fans.Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #21800:00:35 Wat gaan we vandaag doen? 00:00:00 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd? 00:00:46 Superman Review00:01:30 Superman Spoilers00:26:40 Superman II Review00:30:10 Superman II Spoilers00:33:48 Ballerina Review00:39:35 Thunderbolts Review00:41:59 Thunderbolts Spoilers00:50:02 Stranger Things Season 5 Trailer00:52:55 James Gunn onthult eerste key art Supergirl00:54:30 17 jaar geleden verscheen Nolan's The Dark Knight 00:55:43 Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey uitverkocht00:56:35 Een eerste blik op Nick Frost's Hagrid & de nieuwe Harry00:58:30 Emmy's01:03:50 Live-action Captain Planet serie in de maak bij Netflix01:04:35 Invincible krijgt een seizoen 501:07:00 Tron: Ares Trailer01:09:20 Eerste teaser clip voor Mortal Kombat II's Johnny Cage01:10:00 Uncaged Fury poster bekendgemaakt01:11:00 Mortal Kombat II Trailer01:13:00 The Last of Us seizoen drie laat lang op zich wachten01:15:45 Live-action Assassin's Creed in de maak bij Netflix01:17:23 Nintendo kondigt castings aan voor The Legend of Zelda01:19:00 Is er een Donkey Kong film in de maak bij Universal01:19:39 Een eerste blik op Splinter Cell bij Netflix01:21:00 Taika Waititi en Drew Pearce slaan de handen ineen voor Judge Dredd01:23:03 Alien: Earth Trailer01:25:00 Koos met Magic The Gatherting: Final Fantasy

Kicking things off, Jack Dorsey—a man with too much time on his hands—has vibe-coded his beard into an insecure messaging app that the company admits you shouldn't trust... yet. Meanwhile, if you want a piece of a legendary disaster, the Fyre Festival brand sold for a mere $245k after some shady bidding that might be a "shitty agentic AI" at work.In the world of our future robot overlords, Nvidia's CEO calmly admitted "some harm will be done," while billionaires like Travis Kalanick are busy discovering "vibe physics" with Elon Musk's Grok—an AI that literally checks what its dad thinks before answering. But the real insanity? The internet is demanding an apology from Elmo's hacked account, proving we're mad at the puppet, not the puppeteer. On the more tangible front, Tesla is making desperate moves in Canada and India as sales collapse, while we learn that hackers have been able to stop US trains for over a decade remotely, but no one has bothered to fix the issue. Oh, and laid-off Candy Crush staff? They were forced to train their AI replacements on the way out the door. The future is bright.Over in Media Candy, we're grudgingly impressed by Andor's 14 Emmy nods and the genius faux '90s action movie trailer for Karl Urban's Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat II. We also got trailers for Stranger Things 5 and Tron: Ares, where Jared Leto thankfully only speaks two words.Finally, Dave takes us to the Dark Side for a nostalgia trip through the history of the Apple II and the Kaypro 2000 laptop, sparking a debate on why we all coveted a computer that, in retrospect, wasn't that great. This is contrasted with the modern reality of an IPTV pirate getting three years in prison and Metallica issuing a copyright strike against the Pentagon. To wrap it all up, a TEDx talk poses the ultimate question: Has tech delivered on its promises?

Taika Waititi is officially directing a new Judge Dredd movie, with Drew Pearce (The Fall Guy, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation) writing the script. Both are longtime fans of the Dredd comics and are promising a return to the dark satire and heavy worldbuilding of the original 2000 AD stories.In this video, I break down everything we know about the project, including the team's goal to distance it from the 1995 and 2012 versions, their hopes for a Dredd universe, and whether Taika's style can actually work for something this gritty. I also share my own thoughts—because let's be honest, the Stallone and Urban movies still have their charm.Drop your thoughts in the comments: Are you excited for this version? Or worried it'll be too goofy for Mega-City One?

Ein Schienbeinknochen, Zähne eines Pflanzenfressers, später auch ein Schädel: Wer ausgestorbene Tiere untersuchen möchte, muss sich mit Fossilien beschäftigen. Meist ergibt sich erst nach Jahrzehnten der Forschung ein schlüssiges Bild eines Tieres. In diesem Fall war es eines, das während der Kreidezeit auf zwei Beinen durch das heutige England streifte: Der Iguanodon gehörte im 19. Jahrhundert zu den ersten wissenschaftlich beschriebenen Dinosauriern. Seit diesen frühen Tagen hat sich Erforschung von Fossilien weiterentwickelt – und Paläontologen sind längst auf mehr aus, als nur ausgestorbene Arten zu beschreiben. Sie wollen verstehen, wie genau diese Tiere vor vielen Millionen Jahren gelebt haben: Wie haben sie gejagt und gelebt – einsam oder in einer Gruppe? Wie war ihr Sozialverhalten? Haben sie sich um ihre Jungen gekümmert? Und nicht weniger interessant: Wie haben sie ihre Notdurft verrichtet? Karl erzählt in dieser Folge von ganz besonderen Funden: Es sind Fossilien von Tieren, die nicht einfach nur gestorben sind. Sondern sie wurden während einer bestimmten Handlung vom Tod überrascht. Nur ein winziger Bruchteil aller gefundenen Fossilien zeigt ein derartig eingefrorenes Verhalten. Ihr Körper, ihre Haltung und ihre Gesellschaft mit anderen Tiere sind im Gestein und damit auch in der Zeit festgehalten. In vier kurzen Geschichten geht es um solche Funde und was sie bedeuten: Eine handelt von Ichthyosaurus, eine Gruppe von Meeresbewohnern, die zu den Reptilien gehörten und die die Erde fast 160 Millionen Jahre lang bewohnten. Ihr Körperbau ähnelt verblüffend heutigen Delfinen, ihre Körpergröße konnte beinahe die eines Blauwals erreichen. Wie sich diese Giganten fortgepflanzt haben, darüber gab es bis vor kurzem sehr unterschiedliche Vorstellungen. Auch geht es um die Spuren der größten Landlebewesen aller Zeiten: Die Sauropoden – oder Langhals-Dinosaurier – konnten nicht nur ganze Bäume kahlfressen, sondern ungewollt hinterließen sie auch zu ihren Füßen eine Spur der Zerstörung. Eine andere Geschichte handelt von einer Zeit unbeschreiblicher Klimaextreme und wie sich zwei völlig unterschiedliche Tiere in trauter Eintracht eine Behausung teilten. Zuletzt geht es um ein junges, aber nicht minder spannendes Forschungsfeld: Mussten Dinosaurier manchmal Wasser lassen – und hinterließen sie dabei einen bleibenden Eindruck?

In dieser Folge widmen sich Franzi und Karl dem Feedback zu den letzten beiden Geschichten im AstroGeo Podcast. Zunächst geht es um den gewaltigen Laki-Vulkanausbruch von 1783. Gefragt wurde nach der Menge ausgestoßenen Schwefeldioxids und dem Vergleich zu heutigen Kohlekraftwerken. Wir haben das auf Basis einer aktuelleren Quelle konkretisiert: Der Laki-Ausbruch hat fast doppelt so viel Schwefeldioxid ausgestoßen wie alle heutigen anthropogenen Quellen zusammen. Denn (glücklicherweise) sind die Schwefelemissionen des Menschen seit 20 Jahren rückläufig. Daneben ging es um die isländische Mythologie, die mit dem Vulkan Katla verbunden ist, die Videos von Lavaschutzwällen und einem lebendigen Bericht von einem Vulkanausbruch in Ecuador. Und was ist eigentlich mit der Aussage aus Karls Geschichte über die Laki-Feuer,, das Jahr des Ausbruchs 1783 habe in Europa zu einem “Jahr ohne Sommer” geführt? Das stimmte so nicht: Die Umwelthistorikerin Katrin Kleemann hat ihre Doktorarbeit darüber geschrieben und Karl hat mit ihr gesprochen. Sie erläutert, welche Wetterkapriolen es wirklich in Europa aufgrund des Ausbruchs in Island gab. Das ganze Gespräch mit Katrin Kleemann folgt am Ende dieser Folge. Im Feedback zur vielleicht drohenden Kollision der Milchstraße mit der Andromeda-Galaxie erzählt Franzi von ziemlich tiefen Tönen im interstellaren Gas. Auch geht es um die Bewegung der Andromedagalaxie und diverse Relativgeschwindigkeiten. Zuletzt geht es um die Kollision selbst, die kein einzelnes Aufeinandertreffen ist, sondern ein über Milliarden Jahre dauernder Prozess mit komplexen Schwingungen, gegenseitigem Durchdringen der Sternsysteme und dem Verlust der Spiralformen von Andromedagalaxie und unserer Heimatgalaaxie . Auch die beiden supermassreichen Schwarzen Löcher im Zentrum der zwei Galaxien würden erst sehr spät verschmelzen. Nicht dass wir Menschen davon noch irgendetwas mitbekommen werden, denn all das findet erst in ein paar Milliarden Jahren statt - wenn überhaupt. Zuletzt geht es um wie fast immer positives Hörerfeedback und die Geräusche, die ihr im Podcast-Outro hört.

Ben and Rob feel “DREDD”, the 2013 Pete Travis directed adaptation of 2000AD's megastar character Judge Dredd, starring Karl Urban, Lena Headey and Olivia Thirlby. Written by Alex Garland (director of ‘Ex Machina', ‘Civil War', ‘Warfare'), ‘DREDD' struggled to make back its budget, despite good reviews and praise for its accuracy to the source material. But why did ‘DREDD' flop so hard at the box office? Was it the studio's awful need for this to be ‘DREDD 3D'? The general public not knowing who the hell Judge Dredd is?

Over 30 years later, we still find the original DOOM and DOOM II utterly captivating, and we wanted to finally devote a podcast to discussing why they remain such great, singular staples of the first-person shooter genre. And if that wasn't enough, we also decided to torture ourselves by watching the DOOM movie from 2005, starring Karl Urban and The Rock, which mostly has nothing to do with DOOM, but has one kinda-sorta interesting first-person sequence.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is out, and we've got IGN's reviewer - friend of the show Jarrett Green - on to talk about Ubi's massive open-world shinobi-and-samurai adventure in feudal Japan! But first, we'll use this as an opportunity to talk about five other games made by western developers, but set in Japan. Once all that's done, we'll talk about the internet's reaction to Karl Urban's Johnny Cage, the SNES mysteriously getting faster with age, and your long-standing gaming regrets. Question of the Week: Inspired by the Suikoden remaster, what's a game name you've habitually mispronounced, either by mistake or (for comedy's sake) on purpose? Were you ever embarrassingly corrected? Tell us about it. Break song is We're the River City Girls by Megan McDuffee. Vidjagame Apocalypse theme by Matthew Joseph Payne.

THIS WEEK: I will give my thoughts on our first look at Karl Urban as Johnny Cage in the upcoming MK2 movie. Actor Ashly Burch is very concerned about her role as Horizon's Aloy. Sony and Santa Monica celebrate the 20th anniversary of God of War. We look back at the history of Yasuke in various video games to highlight the ignorance going around social media. Then, in our Final Stage, I give my recommended review of YARS RISING and marvel at the innovation of this game based on a classic and archaic Atari game.

Send us a textStep into the shadowy world of "Pathfinder," Marcus Nispel's forgotten 2007 action film that stands as a fascinating study in missed opportunities. Released in the same week as Zack Snyder's "300" with a comparable budget, this Karl Urban-starring vehicle attempted similar visual flair but stumbled where "300" soared.The premise holds genuine intrigue: a Viking child, abandoned and raised by Native Americans in 800 AD North America, must later defend his adoptive people when his bloodthirsty biological culture returns to pillage and destroy. It's a setup ripe with potential for exploring identity, belonging, and choosing one's own path—yet "Pathfinder" reduces these rich themes to a straightforward revenge tale drowning in murky cinematography.Throughout our discussion, we unpack the film's fundamental flaws: characters without names or development, confusing action sequences where you can barely distinguish one Viking from another, and logical inconsistencies that break immersion. The Viking villains pursue destruction for destruction's sake, forgoing more historically accurate and compelling motivations like resource acquisition or taking slaves. Even the special edition's reportedly excised sex scene becomes a curious footnote in a film already struggling with basic storytelling coherence.What makes "Pathfinder" particularly fascinating is comparing it to Nispel's later work on "Conan the Barbarian," revealing a director who seemed to learn some lessons while repeating others. For fans of Karl Urban, we recommend skipping this misfire and heading straight to "Dredd" for a masterclass in how to use the actor's talents effectively. Whether you're a student of film looking to understand what makes a movie work (by examining one that doesn't) or simply curious about this forgotten chapter in action cinema history, our deep dive into "Pathfinder" offers both entertainment and insight into how even promising concepts can lose their way in execution.Written lovingly by AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT

We're going back to video game movies with 2005's Doom! Directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak and starring John (the Wayne) Rockson and Karl Urban, Doom is very dark. Not thematically, we mean, like, brightness-wise. While the Doom video game revolves around sci-fi technology accidentally opening a portal to hell, the Doom movie revolves more around sci-fi technology intentionally opening a portal to a lab where an extra chromosome turns people into monsters from Resident Evil. Float along with the manatees as they try to feel their way through the inky darkness that is this movie. Sam renames the entire cast of characters, Ben introduces a tough new standard for bodybuilders in cinema, both discuss whether making Down Syndrome a villain-defining superpower in your script is a good idea (probably not, eh?).

In this episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, Jason and Brian dive headfirst into the latest tech absurdities, financial scandals, and Elon Musk's ongoing chaos. We start with the annual frustration of unsubscribing from an email list that just won't quit before jumping into the latest gem from Musk himself: "Some of the things that I say will be incorrect." Meanwhile, British IT worker James Howells is back with his ongoing quest to unearth his lost Bitcoin fortune—this time with a plan to buy the entire landfill where he thinks it's buried. And despite all the corporate posturing about a return to office, remote work remains steady, much to the chagrin of commercial real estate moguls still waiting for the workforce to return.The Trump Coin debacle takes center stage, where early traders made a quick $109 million, but over 800,000 investors got wrecked to $2 billion. Adding to the dystopian financial landscape, Microsoft's latest study finds that AI reliance makes people dumber, leading to cognitive atrophy as workers place too much trust in generative AI. Meanwhile, Thomson Reuters lands a major AI copyright win in the courts, striking a blow against legal AI startups. Over at Meta, the latest round of layoffs blindsided workers supposedly meeting performance expectations, proving that job security in tech is about as stable as Musk's grasp on reality. A man in Alabama pleaded guilty to hacking the SEC's X account to falsely announce Bitcoin ETF approvals, sending crypto markets on a rollercoaster ride.On the media front, Mythic Quest Season 4 is out, and we're cautiously optimistic despite needing a breather after Season 2. The White Lotus returns, but can it survive without Stifler's mom? Meanwhile, Karl Urban's role as Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat II is a big win. Walmart's acquisition of the Dawn of the Dead mall seems hilariously on-brand, while Netflix's attempt at podcasting smells like another cost-cutting maneuver. Finally, in "good news," the odds of a newly discovered asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 are rising. At least it would mean an end to Jeep's infuriating full-screen stoplight ads.
