On this episode, Jason G and I review 'Ballerina', a spinoff set in the 'John Wick' universe between chapters three and four. We praise the film's action, calling it some of the best in the series, with standout scenes, such as a flamethrower sequence. I mention struggling to fully buy Ana de Armas as an action star, while Jason suggests the director's style may emphasize looks over grit. We also note the inclusion of Lance Reddick's character, filmed before his passing, and appreciate how the action feels intense but more grounded compared to other over-the-top set pieces in this universe. We give the movie an overall rating of 7 to 7.8 out of 10. The conversation concludes with thoughts on the box office and franchise. Despite a $90 million budget, the film made about $132 million worldwide, which may not cover total costs. However, it is performing well on VOD platforms. Lionsgate has not confirmed a 'Ballerina' sequel, but 'John Wick 5' is in development with Keanu Reeves returning.  Thoughts? Comments?

Lock, load, and prepare for a ballistic ride. This week, the Born to Watch crew take on the movie that brought Keanu Reeves roaring back into the action spotlight and set a new standard for gun-fu carnage with their John Wick (2014) Review.Whitey, G Man, Damo, and returning guest Bones gather in the "Red Circle Russian Baths" to break down this lean, mean revenge machine. The premise is simple: they killed his puppy, they stole his car, and now John Wick is going to kill absolutely everyone. What follows is 101 minutes of exquisitely choreographed violence, ruthless headshots, and underworld world-building that's as fascinating as it is stylish.The boys kick things off with an "overs and unders" rewatch count, Bones leading the charge with a double-digit tally, Damo admitting he was late to the Wick party, and G Man revealing this was only his second full viewing. Whitey takes us back to his last days running a video shop in 2014, when he first discovered the movie on DVD and immediately knew it was something special.From there, it's a high-calibre conversation covering the sequels (John Wick 2 gets big love, John Wick 3 cops a length warning, and John Wick 4 is called out for testing bladders at nearly three hours). They crunch the numbers on the original film's body count, 84 kills for Wick alone, and swap favourite takedowns, from the Red Circle massacre to the infamous knife-to-the-chest finisher.But John Wick isn't just about spraying bullets. The team dive into what makes it different: the cool, calculated underworld mythology of The Continental, the gold coin economy, and the assassin's code that adds sophistication to the chaos. They agree that the "no business on Continental grounds" rule is a masterstroke, and that Ian McShane's Winston brings the perfect mix of charm and menace.Keanu Reeves' career gets its own spotlight, with nods to Point Break, Speed, The Matrix, and even the roles he almost played (Platoon, Starship Troopers). Supporting cast members also get their flowers: Michael Nyqvist's quietly menacing Viggo, Alfie Allen's punchable rich-kid villainy, Willem Dafoe's sniper guardian angel, and a surprise cameo from wrestling giant Kevin Nash.In true Born to Watch fashion, the chat spirals into side quests: hot takes on Taken's influence on modern revenge films, debates over whether Russians are cinema's ultimate gangsters, and an oddly passionate discussion on Japanese onsens and Russian bathhouses (including the etiquette of washing before soaking with strangers).They also unpack critical reception, David Stratton's dismissive "all gun battles" take versus The New York Times' praise for its style, wit, and box office performance, noting how word of mouth turned a modest $86 million return into the launchpad for a billion-dollar franchise.Signature segments return in force:Hit, Sleeper, Dud, Swinger – with Interstellar and Edge of Tomorrow as hits, Frank as the sleeper, Dumb and Dumber To as the dud, and Pompeii roasted as a "swinger" that belongs in cinematic ash.Snobs Report Special – veering gloriously off-topic to Alexandra Daddario's career-making scene in True Detective.Question Time – covering everything from the realism of Wick's "magic pills" to whether Iosef's death was anticlimactic, and what exactly makes a headshot so satisfying.Through it all, the crew's affection for John Wick is undeniable. They celebrate its stripped-back storytelling, grounded stunt work, and unrelenting pace, while acknowledging its few stumbles. It's the perfect mix of 80s-style simplicity and modern fight choreography, proof that a revenge story, told well, never goes out of style.If you're a fan of tight, furious action films with a killer lead, a colourful rogues' gallery, and a fictional criminal underworld you want to explore (but not live in), this is the Born to Watch episode for you.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs John Wick the best modern action franchise or just a stylish headshot marathon?Which kill in the Red Circle nightclub is your all-time favourite?Is killing the puppy the single most effective way to make an audience cheer for revenge?Drop us a voicemail at https://www.borntowatch.com.au and be part of the show!Listen to the full episode now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.#JohnWick #KeanuReeves #MoviePodcast #ActionMovies #BornToWatch #GunFu #RevengeMovies #CultAction #FilmReview #PopCulture #borntowatchpodcast

In this deeply candid and unforgettable episode of Still Here Hollywood, host Steve Kmetko welcomes Bronson Pinchot, the instantly iconic star of Beverly Hills Cop and Perfect Strangers. Bronson recounts his journey from poverty and an abusive childhood—surviving what he calls “the most enthusiastic and ingenious abuser you can imagine”—to sudden stardom after improvising the role of Serge, the flamboyant art gallery clerk in Beverly Hills Cop, opposite Eddie Murphy. Pinchot shares how that single scene, inspired by a real Israeli makeup artist, turned him into a "same-day sensation." With emotional depth and razor-sharp wit, Bronson opens up about navigating fame, finding healing through storytelling, and staying grounded through a turbulent rise in Hollywood. A must-watch interview optimized for fans of 80s film legends, raw celebrity stories, and unforgettable Hollywood transformations.Show Credits Host/Producer: Steve Kmetko All things technical: Justin Zangerle Executive Producer: Jim Lichtenstein Music by: Brian Sanyshyn Transcription:  Mushtaq Hussain   https://stillherehollywood.com http://patreon.com/stillherehollywood Suggest Guests at: stillherehollywood@gmail.com Advertise on Still Here Hollywood: jim@stillherenetwork.com Publicist: Maggie Perlich: maggie@numbertwelvemarketing.com

Okay, we wouldn't necessarily call this movie "great," because it makes a ton of unforced errors. But there's still a lot to like here, including one of the most incredible climactic scenes ever put on film. Keanu Reeves was probably right to pass on this one (and Sandra Bullock basically had to do this), but 'Speed 2' is a fascinating film - and occasionally pretty solid.

In this reflective and often irreverent solo episode of Spellbreakers, host Matt Trump dives into the cultural funeral of Stephen Colbert's late-night career. From Colbert's early comedic heyday on Comedy Central to his final act as a vaccine-dancing cheerleader for the establishment, Matt unpacks the tragic arc of a once-promising entertainer who, in his view, sold out to political orthodoxy. With humor, personal anecdotes, and a nostalgic lens on Johnny Carson's era, the episode explores the decline of broadcast TV, the death of the late-night format, and the broader cultural implications of Colbert's cancellation. Matt shares his own evolution from former fan to critic, considers why modern talk shows no longer resonate, and even touches on how Colorado and Keanu Reeves might still give him hope. Sprinkled with satire and a little heartbreak, this episode captures a generational shift in American media with one final sendoff, complete with a cringeworthy trip down vaccine musical memory lane.

Besides acting in eighty films over his 40-year career, from “Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure” to “The Matrix,” Reeves' roles have challenged stereotypes of masculinity, provided representation of Asian American and native Hawaiian communities— and he's known for stepping aside to let his costars shine.
