Fresh off the surprise success of 2014's John Wick, Summit Entertainment knew they had a hit on their hands. Better yet, they knew they had the beginning of what looked like a fruitful franchise. So they tried gathering the band back together again in hopes of continued financial achievement. But while star Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski, as well as writer Derek Kolstad were quickly onboard for the sequel, co-director David Leitch had other plans. More opportunities arose as the result of John Wick's success, and Leitch wanted to grab that iron while it was still hot. Movies like Atomic Blonde and Deadpool 2 were what he decided to move on to. But where does that leave John Wick Chapter 2, and would Leitch's absence be a bad omen for the future of the franchise? Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they answer those questions, as well as give an in depth (and some would say surprising) review of 2017's more successful John Wick sequel, John Wick Chapter 2. Next week, John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum.

In this episode of Men of Influence, host Tim Holloway welcomes Steve Moby ​​Leitch, a faith-driven ultra-marathon swimmer, author of Against the Current, and producer of the award-finalist documentary Beyond the Shoreline. Sober for over 14 years by God's grace, Steve shares his journey from addiction and spiritual bankruptcy to a life of purpose as a husband, father of six, and mentor to men in recovery. Through his Legacy Lifestyle Coaching and upcoming Rise and Thrive ministry, Steve inspires others to build a relationship with God and live out their faith through action. He discusses how faith, rooted in daily spiritual disciplines, empowers men to navigate life's storms with resilience and grace, drawing from his own experiences, like swimming 28 miles across the Pacific Ocean while battling sickness and adversity.Steve emphasizes that positive influence in faith comes from cultivating a deep relationship with God through consistent habits like prayer, worship, journaling, and scripture reading. He shares a powerful lesson from his swim: God doesn't promise to calm the seas but to calm you in them, reframing expectations to focus on Christ amidst challenges. Steve also highlights the importance of prioritizing your spouse as your primary earthly relationship and extending grace to yourself when life's plans go awry. With a call to surrender to God's providence, Steve encourages men to embrace their purpose; loving God, loving others, and serving with their talents; to live a life of impact.Key Takeaways:Faith as Relationship: Build faith through daily disciplines; prayer, worship, journaling, and scripture; to stay focused on Christ, not the storm (James 2:17).Spiritual Foundation: Prioritize spiritual habits first, as they anchor physical, relational, and financial growth, creating a life built on the “rock” of God.Grace in Adversity: Expect challenges but trust God's calming presence; extend grace to yourself when plans falter, knowing His script surpasses your own.Spousal Priority: Cultivate your marriage daily through communication and prayer, not just weekly date nights, to honor God's design for unity.Actionable Step: Journal God's activity in your life daily, starting with a verse or prayer, to track His provision and grow in faith.“God never promised to calm the seas. He promised to calm you in the seas.” - Steve Moby LeitchLearn more about Tim through the following links:FacebookPodcasting group

A year out from the next World Cup, Leitch weighs in on the Trump administration's capacity to play host to players and fans from countless countries it regularly condemns; what the Thunder-Pacers NBA final says about the future of pro hoops; and why “Sinners” is the movie of year so far and Ryan Coogler is a flat-out genius. Leitch also discusses Lionsgate's plans to turn his latest foray into fiction into a major motion picture, and why Jack Lemon would make the perfect Lloyd McNeil (if he weren't dead, that is).

fWotD Episode 2855: John Wick (film) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 27 February 2025 is John Wick (film).John Wick is a 2014 American action thriller film directed by Chad Stahelski and written by Derek Kolstad. Keanu Reeves stars as John Wick, a legendary hitman who comes out of retirement to seek revenge against the men who killed his dog, a final gift from his recently deceased wife. The film also stars Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, Adrianne Palicki, Bridget Moynahan, Dean Winters, Ian McShane, John Leguizamo, and Willem Dafoe.Kolstad's script drew on his interest in action, revenge, and neo noir films. The producer Basil Iwanyk purchased the rights as his first independent film production. Reeves, whose career was declining, liked the script and recommended that the experienced stunt choreographers Stahelski and David Leitch direct the action scenes; Stahelski and Leitch successfully lobbied to co-direct the project. Principal photography began in October 2013, on a $20–$30 million budget, and concluded that December. Stahelski and Leitch focused on long, highly choreographed single takes to convey action, eschewing the rapid cuts and closeup shots of contemporary action films.Iwanyk struggled to secure theatrical distributors because industry executives were dismissive of an action film by first-time directors, and Reeves's recent films had financially underperformed. Lionsgate Films purchased the distribution rights to the film two months before its release date on October 24, 2014. Following a successful marketing campaign that changed its perception from disposable entertainment to a prestige event helmed by an affable leading actor, John Wick exceeded box-office projections and became a modest success, grossing $86 million worldwide. It received generally positive reviews for its style and its action sequences. Critics hailed John Wick as a comeback for Reeves, in a role that played to his acting strengths. The film's mythology of a criminal underworld with rituals and rules was praised as its most distinctive and interesting feature.John Wick began a successful franchise which includes three sequels (John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017), John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019), and John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)), the prequel television series The Continental (2023), and the spin-off film Ballerina (2025), as well as video games and comic books. It is seen as having revitalized the action genre and popularized long single takes with choreographed, detailed action.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:56 UTC on Thursday, 27 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see John Wick (film) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Stephen.

Welcome back to Decorating Pages! Today, we're diving into the dark and intricate world of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. Set in 1980 and 90's Los Angeles, this season tells the haunting story of the Menendez family, whose polished, wealthy image masked a far more complicated and troubled reality. Joining me are Production Designer Matthew Flood Ferguson and Set Decorator Melissa Licht, whose work on this series brings the hidden turmoil of the Menendez family to life. Matthew and Melissa created spaces that tell a story within a story. From the pristine common rooms that reflect ‘new money' luxury, to the messy, private spaces that reveal a deeper, darker psychological layer, every detail was designed to capture the paradoxes of the Menendez family. With careful recreations of period landmarks like Spago, authentic interiors like the Chateau Marmont suite, courtrooms,  jails, and a subtle blend of symbolic elements, their work immerses us in a world that feels both glamorous and unsettling. #FilmLovers #BehindTheScenes #SetDesign #FilmStudents #ProductionDesign #DecoratingPagesPodcast #MenendezBrothers #LosAngeles #ChateauMarmont #TrueCrimeSeries #1980sAestheticAre you passionate about TV and film production?
