The MCU X-MEN cast is here: Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm & Adam Driver as Mister Sinister. Naturally, everyone is being extremely calm and reasonable about it. We also dig into the AVENGERS DOOMSDAY news of David Harbour confirming Tony Stark?! Dave Bautista taking over as KRATOS in Amazon's GOD OF WAR series, and the LANTERNS fallout surrounding Hal Jordan's Death Scene — because apparently fandom needed a few more things to argue about this week. Plus: Shawn Levy & Ryan Gosling's GHOST RIDER coming together almost immediately while BLADE remains trapped somewhere in the Quantum Realm of development, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II speaking out about WONDER MAN, and the bigger question tying all of this together: Marvel. DC. God Of War. Everyone's happy. Everything's fine. Follow Coy Jandreau: Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?l...

It's Friday on The Rizzuto Show, which means this comedy podcast is landing the plane with music nostalgia, celebrity chaos and enough questionable information to ruin several perfectly good movies.First, Rizz gets ambushed by his own shuffle when a Rollins Band song he hadn't heard in roughly 25 years suddenly comes back from the dead. That launches the crew into Henry Rollins memories, MTV, Beavis and Butt-Head, Black Flag, Lollapalooza and the fascinating contradiction that is Henry Rollins: an inspirational motivational speaker who always looks like he's about three seconds away from yelling at a parking meter.Some of the crew remembers the song. Some absolutely do not. Rizz insists everybody needs to listen to it. Rafe now apparently has new music for the closet he cries in. Great start.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where Foo Fighters joining AC/DC in St. Louis continues to be enormous news. Dave Grohl explains just how much AC/DC influenced him, while everyone tries to figure out what happened to The Pretty Reckless and whether the lineup change was designed to give ticket sales another shot of adrenaline.Either way, September 8 is shaping up to be massive.Unfortunately, so is the parking nightmare.From there, celebrity news takes the wheel and immediately drives directly into a ditch. The upcoming Michael Jackson biopic sequel is expected to tackle the controversial later years of his life. The ongoing Tupac Shakur murder case raises new questions about alleged connections to Sean “Diddy” Combs. Then Biggie's family enters an estate fight after changes were reportedly made to his mother's will shortly before her death.Nothing brings a family together quite like hundreds of millions of dollars.We also get new music releases, Dr. Phil lawsuit news and one of the uglier family betrayals in comedy history. Dane Cook's documentary revisits his rise to superstardom and the revelation that his own brother, who handled his finances, embezzled roughly $12 million.Imagine becoming one of the biggest comedians in America and still discovering the most expensive heckler was sitting at Thanksgiving dinner.The entertainment rundown keeps rolling as Yellowjackets heads toward its final season and Dave Bautista takes over as Kratos in Amazon's God of War. The original actor had already gotten himself ridiculously ripped for the role before suffering a torn bicep and losing the job, which is one of those stories that makes your bad week seem slightly more manageable.Then Moon performs an important public service by warning everybody away from a movie he describes, with tremendous critical nuance, as a total piece of crap.You're welcome, America.And because apparently we haven't damaged enough childhood memories, Lern brings in a list of famous movie and TV couples who reportedly hated each other while working together. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey had issues before Dirty Dancing. Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn clashed on Four Christmases. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams reportedly needed a screaming match while making The Notebook before eventually dating in real life. Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte? Apparently not exchanging Christmas cards.Claire Danes wasn't thrilled with Leonardo DiCaprio's behavior on Romeo + Juliet, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny went through rough stretches on The X-Files, and Sarah Silverman had her own memorable confrontation with Michael Richards on Seinfeld.Romance is alive, everybody.We finish with celebrity birthdays before the Friday tradition manages to make things uncomfortable one last time, because this comedy podcast refuses to simply arrive at the weekend like a normal program.It's forgotten music, rock news, celebrity gossip, Hollywood feuds, ridiculous show-business money, St. Louis entertainment and enough sarcastic humor to make HR quietly close the browser tab. In other words, another perfectly normal episode of your favorite comedy podcast.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ben and Matt James deliver their hands-on impressions of failing to play FromSoftware's 'The Duskbloods' during a disastrous network test, then react to recent news: fresh 'Grand Theft Auto VI' leaks, another live-service snafu for Sony in 'Horizon Hunters Gathering,' Dave Bautista's selection as a recast Kratos in Prime Video's 'God of War,' Disney's decision to double down on 'Kingdom Hearts,' and a sequel funded by a mysterious, rich patron. After that, Ben brings on prolific reporter Nicole Carpenter to talk about an epidemic of game cloning, the moral and legal lines between inspiration and imitation, and how the industry's copycat problem pertains to Steam sensation 'Meccha Chameleon,' Roblox smashes 'Grow a Garden' and 'Steal a Brainrot,' and 'Palworld.' Lastly, Ben brings on writer (and doctor) Rany Jazayerli to explain what it's like to give up gaming for decades before finally returning to the fold.

The new DCU series starring **Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan** and **Aaron Pierre as John Stewart** reportedly pulled in **9.3 million viewers during its opening days**, giving James Gunn's DC Universe another major talking point.

Could this be why Melton may no longer be playing **Beast** in the MCU? **Masters of the Universe** is also finding new life on streaming after reportedly topping the Nielsen charts. Could the strong streaming performance be enough to revive sequel conversations? We also have a major update for **God of War**, as **Dave Bautista** is set to take over the role of **Kratos**, replacing Ryan Hurst in the upcoming live-action series. Is Bautista the right choice to bring one of gaming's most iconic characters to television?

After roughly half-a-dozen episodes of unfortunate absence, we're pleased to welcome Dustin back to the fold, and just in the nick of time at that. A trio of interesting stories have bubbled to the surface over the past week worth examining, and they require further inquiry from the whole cast. For starters, Sony's financials show a stagnant (albeit perfectly healthy) PlayStation brand, as PS5 marches ever-slower towards 100 million units sold. And then there's Electronic Arts, the pioneering American publisher that sold-out to a wealthy foreign interest, with untold ramifications on the other side of the biggest-ever leveraged buyout in human history. Finally, we come to Netflix and Rockstar, who have teamed-up for what can only be described as a unique approach towards showcasing Grand Theft Auto VI, one (perhaps not surprisingly) some people aren't thrilled about. Among other news (and other nonsense), we also get into your listener submissions, as we do each week. How will MLB: The Show 27 be affected next year by what appears to be an inevitable work stoppage in professional baseball? Is there any workable idea for a framework surrounding the second-hand buying, selling, and trading of digital games? Could Sony blunt PlayStation 6's inevitably-high cost by taking a page from Xbox's book and offering hardware on long-term payment plans? Has Colin been saying "beaucoup bucks" wrong, or does one listener simply not know his French? This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Spider-Man swung back into theaters, and it did exactly what we knew it would. The question is though, was it good? The RAMageddon becomes the RAMpocalypse, as it comes for every component, and will continue forever. Black Ops 1 & 2 jump the sales charts, and EA goes private. Meanwhile we should have listened to Wesley when he said he was the only Blade.
Another week in video games, and it feels like more of the same with XBOX introducing more backwards compatibility, this time with XBOX 360 being next in line. Along with the possibility of their own version of the platinum trophy after so many years of requests. Asha Sharma also sets out a plan of how XBOX will get back to where it needs to be by 2027 to 2028, but perhaps the most frightening thing is that hot off the heels of the release of HALO: Campaign Evolved's release, there are already layoffs at HALO Studios as the game is doing "fine" but not what you'd expect a major first-party to do for XBOX. Finally, someone from Sony responds to the controversy of deciding to end disc production in 2028 and the physical media enjoyers won't be happy with the Sony CFO's statement essentially stating that they have no other choice and they now have to figure out how to give their best with digital media as the focus. Does Marc still believe Sony will change course? Plus, Sean's been playing Beasts of Reincarnation; Dave Batista may be Kratos in the God of War TV Series, EA completes its 55 Billion sale to the Saudi PIF, Capcom reports 93% of its sales are digital. PC Motherboards and NVIDIA GPU's are going up again soon too.

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.Tom Holland's fourth outing as Peter Parker/Spider-Man opened to a massively successful box office, shattering the domestic opening record previously held by Avengers: Endgame, and raking in nearly $1 billion globally in its first weekend alone - so while it beat Endgame's North American opening take, it comes in just behind it globally. Not a bad start for Disney and Marvel Studios as the conversation around superhero movies ebbs and flows in the zeitgeist. Those numbers exclude the premium IMAX format, as Spidey couldn't web up those screens due to The Odyssey still holding all IMAX screens.While Marvel is on their Spidey high, other headlines have circled the news this week - some good and some disappointing. On a positive note - Samara Weaving has reportedly been cast as Emma Frost. Horror fans will recognize Weaving from the Ready or Not films. Obsession breakout star Inde Navarette confirmed her meeting with Jake Schreier and she mentioned interest in playing Mystique. And for the bad news, Wonder Man will not get a season two after all - even though it was confirmed earlier this year - and both Kevin Feige and Maershala Ali expressed regret about the Blade film; with Feige admitting he feels like a failure for not getting it off the ground and Ali saying he's done with the project. Last week, DC Studios and HBO's Booster Gold series writer David Jenkins said that the project is no longer moving forward. Shortly after he made this statement, IGN reported that the series will, in fact, be moving forward, but with a new creative team. The New York Times reported that Barbie 2 is currently stalled, with Warner Bros. struggling to come to terms with lead talent Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, and Ryan Gosling. The studio has until December to reach a deal before the right revert back to Mattel. Stephen King's 1996 novel Desperation is getting a film adaptation from Final Destination: Bloodlines directing duo Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein. Sam Raimi will also produce the feature, his first time working with King. Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for Jumanji: Open World, which opens in theaters on December 25. The film returns franchise stars Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan. Amazon MGM Studios is developing a Warhammer 40k animated event series alongside the upcoming live-action version, sources close to the project confirmed to Deadline. Additionally, Henry Cavill, who is set to star, is also on board to be an executive producer.Dave Bautista is in talks to take on the lead role of Kratos in Prime Video's God of War series, replacing Ryan Hurst, who had to drop out of production after he sustained an on set stunt injury. Mary Holland, Star of Ghosts and The Little House on the Prairie, has been cast in a lead role as Sandra in the upcoming DC Studios and HBO Max Superman spin off series that centers on Jimmy Olsen. In a recent interview with Inverse, Jessica Henwick revealed that she declined an offer to reprise her role as Colleen Wing in Daredevil: Born Again season three because she wants to protect the character's perfect ending in Netflix's Iron Fist.

Amazon's God of War series is getting a new Kratos, and it might be the exact actor fans have been calling for since day one. On this quick-hit episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, Frank breaks down the report that Dave Bautista is in talks to replace Ryan Hurst as the God of War in Amazon MGM's live-action adaptation of the PlayStation franchise.The recast follows Ryan Hurst's on-set injury, a torn bicep suffered during a stunt that required surgery and a recovery window long enough to push Amazon and Sony toward finding a new lead rather than delaying the two-season production. Frank shares why he sees Bautista as a genuine upgrade for the role: the actor is already physically primed coming off his Highlander villain role, his pro-wrestling background makes the Spartan warrior's size an easy fit, and Frank has been a longtime fan of the guy across the board.Frank keeps plenty of respect in the room for Hurst while making the case that Bautista's build, screen presence, and existing relationship with Amazon line up almost perfectly with an older, grizzled Kratos. Nothing is signed yet, so this one stays in the "watch this space" column until the deal closes.0:00 Dave Bautista in talks to replace Ryan Hurst as Kratos0:04 Why Frank calls this recast an upgrade0:11 The Highlander factor and Bautista's built-in bulk0:18 Respect for Ryan Hurst and the case for Bautista0:24 Deal not final yet, more to come0:28 Sign-offDave Bautista is in negotiations to play Kratos in Amazon's God of War series, stepping in for Ryan Hurst.Hurst exited the role after tearing his bicep in an on-set stunt, an injury serious enough to force a recast instead of a production delay.Bautista's wrestling career and physical frame make him a natural fit for the size and presence the role demands.He is coming off a physically demanding Highlander role, so the bulk is already there to carry over.The deal is not locked. Talks are ongoing, and Frank will share the confirmation the moment it lands."Personally, I think this is a bit of an upgrade.""He's coming off of Highlander, so he's already bulked up for a role. He could use that in God of War.""Ryan Hurst is great, I like Reiners, I just think Batiste is even better fit.""As soon as I know, I'll make sure to share it."If you want geek headlines like this in your feed every week, follow and subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines on your podcast app of choice.

Amazon Prime Video's God of War series is shaking up its cast again, and this time it's by design. On this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, Frank breaks down the report (via Polygon) that Atreus and Thrud are being recast for Season 2. The Season 2 casting call lists "Joshua" and "Ruth," the same codenames used for these characters in Season 1, but with the age range pushed up to 17 when it previously topped out at 12.Frank explains what that age bump signals: the show is doing a time jump between seasons, just like the games did, and rather than letting the young actors grow into the older roles, production is simply casting new performers. It also points to a clear structure for the series: one game per season. Season 1 covers the first game, Season 2 moves into the sequel, no stretching a single game across multiple years of TV.Plus, the Kratos situation is still unresolved after Ryan Hurst's injury, but there's good news on the production front: cameras roll again in October.00:00 Casting update: Atreus and Thrud recast for Season 2, per Polygon00:24 Why the recast points to a time jump, new actors instead of aging up, and the "one game per season" structure00:38 Kratos still uncast after Ryan Hurst's injury, filming resumes in OctoberAtreus and Thrud are being recast for God of War Season 2The Season 2 casting call uses the Season 1 codenames "Joshua" (Atreus) and "Ruth" (Thrud)The listed age range now goes up to 17, where it previously topped out at 12The jump points to a time skip between seasons, matching the gap between the two gamesProduction is casting new actors rather than letting the current young cast age into the rolesThe series looks set to do one game per season: Season 1 for the first game, Season 2 for the sequelKratos still needs to be recast following Ryan Hurst's injuryFilming resumes in October after a pause tied to that injury"Atreus and Thrud are both being recast.""Instead of letting the actors age up, they're just going to be casting new ones.""Season one, game one.

God of War Laufey is confirmed to be releasing in February of 2027 while Sony Santa Monica also confirms that a Kratos-led God of War game will be coming afterwards. Sony apparently isn't satisfied enough to take away physical discs but they might be taking away physical controller buttons according to a new Playstation controller patent. Double Fine announces they have to lay off 25% of their staff after divesting from Xbox. #godofwar #sony #playstation #ps5 #doublefine #xbox #circana #videogames #allyoucangeek
God of War's future is beginning to take shape, with Laufey's upcoming adventure directly setting up the return of Kratos. We discuss what this means for the series, whether Santa Monica Studio should ever step away from God of War, and what we want from its next era. Obsidian, on the other hand, is officially returning to Fallout, Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters are on the way, and Bethesda appears to have major plans for the franchise. We break down what Obsidian's involvement could mean, whether Xbox can make better games with smaller development teams, and why these announcements may have arrived when they did. Before the news, Brett finally gets pulled into Palworld, Chris shares his thoughts on Halo Campaign Evolved, and we discuss Saros, Returnal, Digimon Story Time Stranger, Kingdom Come Salvation, the latest PSN outage, and the never-ending physical-versus-digital debate.

PlayStation's self-inflicted physical games fiasco is nearing a month deep, and it seems fairly obvious at this point that nothing's going to change. The good news is that -- amongst all the chatter, arguing, and prognostication -- comes more info from the American market that indicates that Sony is pissing people off, yes, but also making a seemingly rational commercial decision from their perspective. Thus, we find ourselves in a continued bind: Through all of the screaming and insulting is salient data, should one be willing to look with sober eyes. We discuss. Plus: Marathon loses its game director, Bethesda vows to deliver a lot more Fallout, Rebel Wolves promises Mass Effect-like save migration for its nascent Blood of Dawnwalker series, NBA 2K27 skips PlayStation 4, Kratos gets recast in Amazon's God of War series, and more. We then wrap things up, as we always do, with listener inquiries from our audience. What are our expectations for Until Dawn 2? Did the elimination of crunch culture in some corners of the industry have unexpected downstream effects? Should Grand Theft Auto be held to account for the real-world violence it potentially inspires? Has Colin created a new mosquito bite-obliterating trend?
