In fact you've probably watched a few episodes of that kickass show that she directed. (Tony was a big Arrow fan) But when the genocide in Gaza continued and barely any of her peers spoke out, she decided to walk away from Hollywood and move to Ireland. So you know we had to chat with her and this is what we hope will be the first of many conversations with the talented, smart, steadfast, outspoken and kickass, Lexi Alexander.

Brotha! After a sequel to Thomas Jane's Punisher movie was plunged into development hell, director Lexi Alexander rebooted the series with a zanier take that upped the violence and hammy New York accents. While it underwhelmed audiences and become the lowest-grossing theatrical Marvel film, some fans have come to prefer this version's Grindhouse approach. It seems like something that Connor and Gabe could agree on, right?...Right?
Punisher: War Zone is a 2008 vigilante action-thriller film based on the Marvel Comics character the Punisher, directed by Lexi Alexander. Rather than a sequel to 2004's The Punisher, the film is a reboot that follows the war waged by vigilante Frank Castle / Punisher (Ray Stevenson) on crime and corruption, in particular on the disfigured mob boss known as Billy "Jigsaw" Russotti (Dominic West).[6] It is the third feature film adaptation of The Punisher, the second reboot thereof and the first of two films to be produced under the Marvel Knights production banner, which focuses on films for mature audiences. Punisher: War Zone was released in North America by Lionsgate on December 5, 2008, and it was released in the United Kingdom by Sony Pictures Releasing on February 6, 2009 to negative reviews and grossed $10 million worldwide, making it a box-office bomb. Its related soundtrack hit the #23 slot on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart. It was the final Punisher film to be produced by an outside studio before the rights reverted to Marvel Studios, with Stevenson reprising his role as Castle in The Super Hero Squad Show. A television series was later released on Netflix in 2017 and is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. MC references this article in the episode: https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2020/06/11/the-creator-of-the-punisher-wants-to-reclaim-the-iconic-skull-from-police-and-fringe-admirers/?sh=2ab6c3b1b434
E concludiamo questa mattanza, con la pellicola a tutt'oggi meglio realizzata sul mio amato Punitore. War Zone, passato praticamente in sordina da noi e distribuito unicamente in home video, è il film che rispecchia meglio la personalità complessa e il dolore folle di un Franck Castle magistralmente interpretato da Ray Stevenson che DIVENTA il Punitore. Pellicola cupa e iperviolenta, che non lesina qualche scena splatter fatta benissimo, dove il cattivo Mosaico è terrificante e matto quanto occorre e dove il black humor si sposa perfettamente in ogni singola scena dove viene inserito. Un film che non dovete assolutamente perdere, che avrebbe potuto veramente dare il via ad una saga cinematografica del Punitore di tutto rispetto e che invece si è rivelato purtroppo e ingiustamente un flop, nonostante il plauso di tutti i fan del personaggio Marvel.

The new Apple TV+ movie Tetris tells the unbelievable but true story of how the video game became a worldwide phenomenon. Entrepreneur Henk Rogers (Taron Egerton) discovered Tetris in 1988 and partnered with Soviet inventor Alexey Pajitnov (Nikita Efremov) to bring the game from the USSR to the entire world. Tetris is a fast-paced, compelling Cold War–era thriller as Henk and Alexey race to outmaneuver their competitors who are determined to get to the market first with the “perfect” video game. Director Jon Baird loved the script for Tetris because it was fun, fast-paced, full of political intrigue and family drama, yet based on reality. Jon decided to shoot the film in Scotland, around his hometown of Aberdeen. Moscow in the 1980's was a very gray place, where it actually felt like someone had turned the color off. Jon worked with his DP Alwin H. Küchler, and they decided to keep the color palette desaturated in grays and browns. Aberdeen is often cloudy, with gray granite buildings, making it a great place to substitute Soviet-era Russia. Tetris producer Matthew Vaughn was very instrumental in the post-production process, and they worked with the visual effects team to put together just the right amount of video game elements in the film. Jon grew up in a fishing town in Scotland without any connection to the movie industry. His dad loved musical theater so they would often go to London to see plays. He loved the feeling seeing live theater and movies gave him, and Jon knew he wanted to pursue a career in movies. Once he was old enough, Jon moved to London and after a few years he found a job as a production assistant, that eventually led to another job at the BBC, learning as he went. His short film It's a Casual Life led to a technical advisor position on Green Street Hooligans, directed by Lexi Alexander, which became his big break. Jon has also won a BAFTA for directing the film Stan & Ollie. Tetris will be streaming on Apple TV+ on March 31.

linktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema In the final installment of Catching Up On Cinema's “Drinking Movie Month,” Kyle and Trevor review Lexi Alexander's, Punisher: War Zone (2008). Released as part of the short-lived Marvel Knights project, the film is the third live-action adaptation of the comic book property following the Dolph Lundgren version from the late 80's, and the Thomas Jane headlined one from just 4 years prior. Directed by Lexi Alexander, the film is simultaneously the most explicitly gory violent, as well as the most aesthetically vibrant and colorful of Punisher films. Starring Ray Stevenson as perhaps the most visually “correct” version of The Punisher on film according to the comic book canon, the movie also boasts a solid supporting cast in the form of Dominic West as a scenery chewing Jigsaw, Bruce Hutchinson as his brother LBJ, Colin Salmon as action hero in training Agent Budiansky, and Julie Benz as the token Lionsgate leading lady from the late 2000's.

In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing PUNISHER WAR ZONE (2008), available on Hulu with a premium subscription or to rent on YouTube, Google Play & Movies, Apple TV, Vudu, Amazon Prime and iTunes. Created in the 70s by Gerry Conway (writer) with John Romita Sr and Ross Andru, (artists), this 2008 incarnation is directed by Lexi Alexander with script credits to Nick Santora, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. The film follows Frank Castle (Ray Stevenson) as he kills his way through the criminal underworld all the while trying to protect the widow of an undercover federal agent and the agent's little girl safe from Jigsaw and Loony Bin Jim. Some absolutely bonkers, over the top violence round out this very fun but brutal film. The film's runtime is 1 hour and 43 minutes and is rated R. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.

In the Urban Dictionary, the definition for ‘slept on' should have a poster of Green Street Hooligans proudly beside it. The kickstart of Charlie Hunnam's career and a brutal look into London soccer gangs makes Green Street one of those movies that makes my heart grow fonder. If nothing else, I hope this podcast introduced someone to it. But at the very worst, you can listen and hear us literally begging for added footage to capitalize on the homoerotic tension. I mean com'on. It's right there, guys.
On this week's episode Matt and Brain talk about Punisher: Warzone, the best version of the Punisher to hit the silver screen! At least Matt thinks it is! The two hosts also talk about the production problems, how Lexi Alexander was a trend setter and how the experience of making this movie was a bittersweet experience for her, it's rise to cult status, and the crazy over the top action and mayhem that makes this movie memorable, and lastly, Matt sets the record straight about Deadpool.
This week on Long Walks and Robots...An act of God, or rather convoluted digital film licensing, prevents Ryan from completing his mission of watching Lexi Alexander's 2005 Crime/Drama "Green Street Hooligans." Never fear though as Shane swoops in with an in depth recap of The Fountain, the 2006 Romance/Sci-Fi birthed from the esoteric brain of Darren Aronofsky. In between playing the game, "sick or allergies," we discover new ways to wink, our shared hatred of Terrence Malick, and the best way to watch the "Friday the 13th" franchise. On a final note, this episode was recorded 1 week before the loss of Sean Connery. The intent of the context was not to speak ill of the dead; rather, simply to mock an old man... just to clarify.

Couch Potato Theater: Punisher: War Zone (2008) Join us for this very special edition of Couch Potato Theater as we look back and discuss Couch Potato Theater: Punisher: War Zone (2008) A look at one of the more interesting pre MCU films. Punisher: War Zone is a 2008 vigilante action thriller film based on the Marvel Comics character the Punisher, directed by Lexi Alexander. The film is a reboot that follows the war waged by vigilante Frank Castle (Ray Stevenson) on crime and corruption, in particular on the disfigured mob boss known as Billy "Jigsaw" Russotti (Dominic West), rather than a sequel to 2004's The Punisher. It is the third feature film adaptation of The Punisher, the second reboot thereof and the first of two films to be produced under the Marvel Entertainment and Marvel Knights production banner, which focuses on films for mature audiences. Punisher: War Zone was released in North America by Lionsgate on December 5, 2008, Punisher: War Zone (2008) Plot Synopsis: Frank Castle, the ex-military man whose family was killed by criminals, who became a vigilante known as the Punisher, goes after a whole mob family and gets everyone except enforcer Billy Russoti. He tracks Russoti down and chases him into a vat that is used for crushing bottles. Frank turns on the crusher hoping it would take care of him but it doesn't. He survives but sustains very severe injuries that even with plastic surgery his face looks like a jigsaw puzzle. So he decides to adopt the name Jigsaw. Frank who killed one of Russoti's people who unknown to him is an undercover Fed, decides to pack it in. But when he learns Russoti didn't die and is looking for the money he entrusted to the Fed and will go looking for it at his home which means his family is in danger. So Frank tries to save them. But Russoti wants revenge on Frank so he breaks out his brother who is so crazed that he is committed to an asylum, to deal with him. Join Kevin, Lee and Aaron as they take a look back at this fan favorite Punisher film that although it failed at the box office, it was a true representation of the Punisher character that is a great homage to the comics. This Punisher film is so rewatchable for its beautiful violence and creative color pallet that it represents everything that Couch Potato Theater is all about.

2008's Punisher: War Zone definitely broke the mold for comic book movies, and nothing like it has been seen ever since! ED GREER joins to talk about Lexi Alexander's bloody magnum opus in this week's episode of Hot Takes!
That's right folks we are back with another one, and we had to bring one of our favorite people back on the spaceship, the one and only Lexi Alexander, filmmaker, creative consultant, all around amazing person and one of the best follows on Twitter for reals. Oscar Isaac isn't Arabic? This shouldn't be news to anyone, but the producers of Dune seem to have other thoughts... so we also brought back the living legend The Chico Leo to discuss why Hollywood can't seem to tell one brown person from the next...
Brad shows John Lexi Alexander's flawed, gory masterpiece
Welcome back for another amazing episode from the triplets of mayhem, the Nerds Amalgamated crew. This week we have an excellent show for you to enjoy with everyone in fine form and having fun. The first topic of the week is from DJ looking into Simon Pegg claiming that cinema appears to be dying. Now does this relate to the comments about thin margins in movies? Well, that is a good question and if you want to know more you will have to listen in to find out. But we are you will laugh when you listen to this section.Next up Professor unveils his darker side and lures us into a dungeon…. What, he doesn’t… oops sorry apparently that was supposed to be Professor tells us about a dungeon game made by an AI. My apologies, but it is a reasonably easy mistake to make, after all he is a bit of a mad scientist. But this is looking really cool and fun, some of the options in this are pretty outstanding. Once again this is not a warning about AI trying to take over the world…yet.Last up we have an AI system that is learning how to work co-operatively with people, and possibly manipulating them. Buck brings us a story about some research from Facebook’s AI team that is pretty darn well ground breaking in regards to the results being achieved. We are talking about an attempt to formulate a near perfect response to an imperfect problem. What does that mean, well listen in and you can find out.As usual we have the games being played, with Buck changing his at the last second which is kind of cool. Then this is followed by the regular variety of shout outs, remembrances, birthdays, and special events. We are offering a new service, if you are feeling a little pompous and wish to regain that sense of reality Buck is offering to develop a personal insult just for you. As always please remember to take care of yourselves, look out for each other and stay hydrated.Simon Pegg: "Theatrical Cinema, Sadly, Appears to Be Dying"- https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/simon-pegg-theatrical-cinema-sadly-appears-be-dying-1258252A.I.

In 1912 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his "invention of automatic regulators for use in conjunction with gas accumulators for illuminating lighthouses and buoys". He died from terminal cancer at the age of 68 in Lidingö,Stockholm - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustaf_Dal%C3%A9n9 Dec 1970 - Artem (Artyom) Ivanovich Mikoyan, Soviet Armenian aircraft designer, who cofounded the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau along with Mikhail Gurevich. In March 1942, the bureau was renamed OKB MiG (Osoboye Konstruktorskoye Büro), ANPK MiG (Aviatsionnyy nauchno-proizvodstvennyy kompleks) and OKO MiG. The MiG-1 proved to be a poor start, the MiG-3 went into production but only occasionally could it fight in its intended high-level interceptor role. Further MiG-5, MiG-7 and MiG-8 Utka did not progress beyond research prototypes. He died from stroke at the age of 65 in Moscow - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artem_Mikoyan9 Dec 2005 - Robert Sheckley, American writer. First published in the science-fiction magazines of the 1950s, his numerous quick-witted stories and novels were famously unpredictable, absurdist, and broadly comical. His works include not only original short stories and novels, but also TV series episodes (Captain Video and His Video Rangers), novelizations of works by others (Babylon 5: A Call to Arms, after the film , stories in shared universes such as Heroes in Hell, and collaborations with other writers. In many stories Sheckley speculates about alternative (and usually sinister) social orders, of which a good example is the story "A Ticket to Tranai" (which tells of a sort of Utopia designed for human nature as it actually is, which turns out to have terrible drawbacks). His novel Dimension of Miracles is often cited as an influence on Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, although in an interview for Neil Gaiman's book Don't Panic: The Official Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Companion, Adams said he had not read it until after writing the Guide. He died from complications following heart surgery and a stroke at the age of 77 in Poughkeepsie, New York - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_SheckleyFamous Birthdays9 Dec 1608 - John Milton, English poet and intellectual, who served as a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost, written in blank verse. Writing in English, Latin, Greek, and Italian, he achieved international renown within his lifetime, and his celebrated Areopagitica, written in condemnation of pre-publication censorship, is among history's most influential and impassioned defences of freedom of speech and freedom of the press. His desire for freedom extended into his style: he introduced new words (coined from Latin) to the English language, and was the first modern writer to employ non-rhymed verse outside of the theatre or translations. Samuel Johnson praised Paradise Lost as "a poem which...with respect to design may claim the first place, and with respect to performance, the second, among the productions of the human mind", though he described Milton's politics as those of an "acrimonious and surly republican". Poets such as William Blake, William Wordsworth and Thomas Hardy revered him. He was born in Bunhill, London - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Milton9 Dec 1917 - Leo James Rainwater, American physicist who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1975 for his part in determining the asymmetrical shapes of certain atomic nuclei. During World War II, he worked on the Manhattan Project that developed the first atomic bombs. In 1949, he began developing his theory that, contrary to what was then believed, not all atomic nuclei are spherical. His ideas were later tested and confirmed by Aage Bohr's and Ben Mottelson's experiments. He also contributed to the scientific understanding of X-rays and participated in the United States Atomic Energy Commission and naval research projects. Rainwater joined the physics faculty at Columbia in 1946, where he reached the rank of full professor in 1952 and was named Pupin Professor of Physics in 1982. He received the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award for Physics in 1963 and in 1975 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, "for the discovery of the connection between collective motion and particle motion in atomic nuclei and the development of the theory of the structure of the atomic nucleus based on this connection". He was born in Council, Idaho - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Rainwater9 Dec 1926 - Henry Way Kendall, American particle physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1990 jointly with Jerome Isaac Friedman and Richard E. Taylor "for their pioneering investigations concerning deep inelastic scattering of electrons on protons and bound neutrons, which have been of essential importance for the development of the quark model in particle physics." These experiments involved scattering high-energy beams of electrons from protons and deuterons and heavier nuclei. At lower energies, it had already been found that the electrons would only be scattered through low angles, consistent with the idea that the nucleons had no internal structure. However, the SLAC-MIT experiments showed that higher energy electrons could be scattered through much higher angles, with the loss of some energy. These deep inelastic scattering results provided the first experimental evidence that the protons and neutrons were made up of point-like particles, later identified to be the up and downquarks that had previously been proposed on theoretical grounds. The experiments also provided the first evidence for the existence of gluons. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Way_KendallEvents of Interest9 Dec 1851 – The first YMCA in North America is established in Montreal. YMCA is Young Men's Christian Association. From its inception, it grew rapidly and ultimately became a worldwide movement founded on the principles of muscular Christianity. Local YMCAs deliver projects and services focused on youth development through a wide variety of youth activities, including providing athletic facilities, holding classes for a wide variety of skills, promoting Christianity, and humanitarian work. YMCA globally operates on a federation model, with each independent local YMCA voluntarily affiliated with its national organization. The national organizations, in turn, are part of both an Area Alliance (Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, the United States, and Canada) and the World Alliance of YMCAs (World YMCA). - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YMCA9 Dec 1909 - Dr. Henry W. Walden, flew the first successful American monoplane flight. He was the designer, builder and pilot of that plane the Walden III. It was made after building a rudimentary wind tunnel and experimenting with different surface designs. At Mineola, Long Island, Walden and his plane left the ground and flew for a few hundred feet. He put the aircraft back down safely—elated. - https://www.airspacemag.com/history-of-flight/or-die-trying-21230348/?page=49 Dec 1967 - Jim Morrison arrested on stage for disturbing the peace at the New Haven Arena, Connecticut, making him the 1st rock star to be taken into custody during a performance. According to Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek, Morrison was "making out" with a female fan in the shower in the backstage area of the New Haven Arena when a local police officer who was providing security for the band – apparently not recognizing the singer – told them to vacate the area, to which Morrison reportedly replied, "Eat it." When the officer brandished a can of Mace and warned, "Last chance," the singer retorted, "Last chance to eat it" – earning himself a face full of Mace for his defiance. Morrison was charged with inciting a riot, indecency and public obscenity. He posted a bond, but the charges were later dropped. - https://ultimateclassicrock.com/jim-morrison-maced-and-arrested-in-new-haven/IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS - http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/General EnquiriesEmail - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.com

Welcome to this solo edition of the Binge Movie Aftertaste. Having to follow through on my promise to Matthew GOUDREAU to give him a week off -which turned into two, you're welcome Matt- I go into this show with a great guest. Old Binge buddy Adam Simon is back to update us on all his projects. After I spend the beginning portions of this show talking up one of my favorite bands Ladytron and going a little on my soap box about recent movie going experiences, I get Adam on the line to discuss similar experiences he's had. After that, we go into what he's been up to including but not limited to his upcoming The Raid remake. We also include stories about his experiences with Joe Carnahan, Joe Lynch, Anthony Mackie, Twitter battles with Lexi Alexander, and so much more that I cannot do justice without you listening to this interview. So what are you waiting for? Thanks once again to Adam for his time, and I'll be waiting for that invite buddy. Check back next week when we start our Hunger Games Retrospective!

Matrix Minute 51 mit Sarah ‚Laburrini‘ Burrini. Sie ist bekannt durch die Cover der Hoax-Files, Nerdgirl und ‚Das Leben ist kein Ponyhof‘ (https://sarahburrini.com/wordpress/). Kampfszenen zu drehen ist in Wirklichkeit nicht sehr einfach, wie auch in dieser Szene: Schauspieler, Stuntpeople und Choreografen haben es da nicht leicht. Der Film zeigt davon aber nur noch sehr wenig. Ist der Film eigentlich ein Anime? Anscheinend nicht… Empfehlung in dieser Folge: Twitter von Lexi Alexander (https://twitter.com/lexialex?lang=de) Mehr Infos, auch zu Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten, findet ihr bei https://compendion.net.

Black Panther is the Tipping Point for change in Hollywood and the world in general and we are here for it. In order to properly celebrate the power of change we had to gather up some of the most intelligent and amazing women in the game, the uber talented filmmaker Lexi Alexander and one of the premier voices of the geek world, The BlerdGurl herself! Listen as Tatiana King takes over the spaceship with these two glorious women as they discuss what it will take to make real change in Hollywood, how it feels to be a woman of color in the time of MeToo and much more on this Women's History Month episode.

Hi everybobdy. Welcome to #Allpodcastsmatter. This week we rappity rap about politics, news and movies as per usual. Happy Birthday to Lexi Alexander. In What Donnie Did aside from starring at the sun, he got into it with Mitchy MCConnell. We look into black Donnie supporter with an illustrious past. Did 45 really spend up all that Secret Service budget already? Amy Schumer still says ignorant and wildly offensive things. Just like George Foreman. In movie does DC has some explaining to do.

[ATTENTION SPOILERS] Déjà aperçue dans Batman vs Superman, Wonder Woman, le dernier élément de la Sainte Trinité de DC Comics, a désormais son film et cartonne au box-office. Sortie de son élément mythologique, Diana, princesse des amazones se retrouve plongée dans le monde des hommes en pleine Première guerre mondiale. Résultat : une direction artistique mauvaise, des effets spéciaux douteux, d’énormes erreurs de scénario et de mise en scène, et une posture féministe revendiquée qui ne tient pas. Cultivée, lettrée, intelligente, Wonder Woman perd ses capacités dès qu’elle prend conscience de ses pouvoirs, un comble pour une super-héroïne que l’écriture fait d’ailleurs passer pour une idiote candide. Ni un bon film de super-héros, ni un bon blockbuster, encore moins un bon film. Podcast animé par Thomas Rozec avec Stéphane Moïssakis, Julien Dupuy et Daniel Andreyev.

(Sing it with me, "IIIIIIII.... IIIIIIII..... I'm Wonder Woman..." as disco plays on and on....) Anyway, we saw Wonder Woman, the fourth film in this thing that Warner brothers is trying to do called the "DC Cinematic Universe". This time Zack Snyder isn't as deep into the mix as in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice... no, he only co-wrote the story and produced it. Yeah. So he's still in it, and one may be able to tell. But it's also the first major comic book blockbuster (not counting the previous one, thanks Lexi Alexander) that's directed by a woman, and Gal Gadot goes into being a movie star here as Diana, the superhero made out of clay that is *not* Gumby! And on this episode as Jack and Andrew talk about the movie (will they agree? you'll have to listen to find out), they're joined once again by Guest Star Matthew Catania of Matt the Catania Blog, and the newly named "Wifely Duties" Korey (how did she get this name? You'll... also need to listen to find out). Get out your lasso, your shield and that sword of destiny (and this time there's not as much legend as the 'Streets' guy Arthur), and saddle in for this review of the World-War-One set Wonder Woman.

Mur and Matt come to you live from Morgan Freeman's Dojo (where we're punching Hollywood) with special guest co-host writer, director, and martial artist Lexi Alexander! Lexi is excited to talk about the writing side of her career as a director of films like Green Street Hooligans, Punisher: War Zone, the Oscar-nominated Johnny Flynton, and pretty much ALL of the TV series. How we needlessly shake the confidence of English-as-a-second-language writers in America, and how a chance encounter with Quentin Tarantino cured Lexi of that self-confidence issue. Lexi recounts how she began her career as a writer and filmmaker (it involves Chuck Norris. No, seriously). It's easier to be accepted as a woman in a martial arts/competitive combat sports environment than it is to be accepted as a woman filmmaker in Hollywood. Lexi talks about the many challenges women writers and directors face in the entertainment industry, including her own experiences. Lexi tells the Ditch Diggers about her recently sold pilot script, the process of writing it, and what inspired/motivated both. Lexi talks about what stopped her from writing for a long time, how she almost left the business to become a war correspondent, and what brought her back. Mur asks about the difference between working on your own film projects and writing/adapting the work and ideas of others, and how you survive doing both. Lexi takes questions from Twitter! Mur and Matt attempt unsuccessfully to end the show several times, but Lexi is just too damn enthusiastic and complimentary about everyone. (New goal: Get both Cory Doctorow and Lexi on the show together.) Lexi on Twitter: @Lexialex Lexi's website Lexi on IMDb

In an awesome twist of fate, the ladies of Nerds of Prey got the chance to chat with actor Lewis Tan (Iron Fist)!

Maria Lewis burst onto the bestseller list with her first novel Who's Afraid. Bold, blunt and tattooed with pop culture, Maria talks about serial killer bedtime stories; the representation of violence against women; the commercial risks of keeping her own name; punching celebrities; her experiences with murder in real life; and the rise of the Merman! ..."I'm never gonna see a Merman." Who's Afraid is the first in a five book series, with the sequel Who's Afraid Too recently released and selling faster than Maria can speak. The urban fantasy series is also loved by action filmmaker Lexi Alexander and hopefully destined for screen greatness very soon.
In the premiere episode, Heather talks with writer/director, Lexi Alexander (Punisher: War Zone, Limitless, SuperGirl)about everything from the current state of the country, to the current state of Hollywood. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shutupandlistenwithhm/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/shutupandlistenwithhm/support
My Punisher is Black or he damn well should be, and our special guest Lexi Alexander is here to let you know the real. If you're unfamiliar with Lexi then head over to Twitter and hit that follow on @LexiAlex. You're welcome and now back to the business at hand. Lexi joins us to discuss the state of Hollywood, the world, women in film, how it feels to be thrust headfirst into the geek culture, and so much more on one of our most powerful episodes yet. Please believe it, this is one for the ages.
On this episode we discuss out first convention. It was a blast. Loved the political undertones of this event, namely F*** Trump. Fidel Castro, Florence Henderson, and Ross Glass all passed away this week. We talk about what they meant to us. In movie news, we nominate Lexi Alexander to direct Captain Marvel. She is woke AF, she is literally a world champion at karate, and has already a great comic book film in Punisher:War Zone. Our top 5 is 1990s rap videos. Thank you SkyBlew for the music this week.
Oscar nominee/tosser of truth bombs Lexi Alexander joins Gaby for a frank assessment of Hollywood's abysmal track record when it comes to jobs for women. The situation is decidedly bleak, but Lexi reminds Gaby that while speaking out about it may feel scary in the moment, ultimately it's the only way for people (i.e. you, dear listener) to recognize how dire the situation is. Also! We want you to tell us about the podcasts you enjoy, and how often you listen to them. So we created a survey that takes just a couple of minutes to complete.

Hello and welcome to part 4 of our ongoing State of Marvel series! This time we pick up where we left off as we discuss Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, and the BIG one, Captain America: Civil War. We mostly talk Civil War, to be completely honest. Does it hold up to the rest of the universe? Who's right, Cap or Tony? How does it hold up against the other big Vs film this year? (Oh yeah, we go there.) So pick a side and join us for Marvel #4! SPOILER WARNING: Full spoilers for Civil War, obviously. The others we just scratch the surface, so those are safe. We don't into the Doctor Strange Ancient One controversy, not because we don't care or don't want to talk about it, but because we want to point you towards people who will do it more justice than a couple of white guys talking about it. To that end, go listen to Nerds of Color podcast episode #047: #WhiteWashedOUT with Friends of the Show Shaun (from No, Totally!) and Lexi Alexander! You, too, can join the discussion!

Lexi Alexander, whose credits include “Punisher: War Zone,” “Lifted,” and “Green Street Hooligans,” talks to Sean Tuohy about how she got her start in filmmaking, why martial arts are an important part of her identity, and fighting against Hollywood’s diversity issues.
Our final film in our superhero threepeat is 2008's MCU bonkersfest Punisher: War Zone and its a masterpiece. Its the most violent, over the top, ridiculous, preposterous, bad-assery, poorly acted gem of an incredible time. It would have been impossible for this film to be successful but it is also impossible to NOT be a cult-classic. It's great. Ray Stevenson kills it as the Punisher. There should be no other person to ever play Frank Castle (Sorry Joe Bernthal, Punisher doesn't have roof top conversations with men in tights; he just kills people). Ray's big, formidable, and hardly has any lines. He's brilliant. Then there's the action sequences....bonkers. Within the first 10 minutes of the film, you've either left the theater or gobbling up popcorn while trying not to blink. Lexi Alexander basically said, "Fuck it" and just went out and gave everyone what they wanted (except the investors). While a totally bad and terrible film, there's a level of quality in how dumb it is. It seems that Lexi Alexander had nothing but bad surrounding her. She was working with a script that the guy who wrote Armageddon walked away from, she's got Doug and Dominic stinking it up because no one else would do it, and she's got Loinsgate to deal with and we know how good they are at ruining their own projects. She took all this bad and just had fun with it and we applaud her directing ability to make this turd a true gem. We can't stress how much this film kicks ass. There's few words to describe it and we insist that you don't miss Punisher: War Zone.
Time for another commentary and this time it is accompanying a bit of ultra-violent comic book fun.

The Starling Tribune: An Unofficial Arrow TV Show Fan Podcast
Starling Tribune - Season 4 Edition – Episode 3: Restoration The Official Arrow Podcast of the Gonna Geek Network During another fun Blab.im live recording, Neil, Stargate Pioneer and Chris gather again to discuss the 3rd episode of the 4th Arrow season. It was great to see Nyssa back on the show and just how evil Malcom Merlyn can be. Why did that one Ghost let Diggle live at the battle of the Woodmill? SP has a pretty good theory about why that Neil added unto. Damian Darhk sure demonstrate how deadly simple parlor card tricks can be. SP teaches that worksite cranes sometimes do come equipped with remote control technologies thus validating Felicity's ability to remote control one from the Arrow Lair 3.0. There is a LOT of Lair 3.0 talk too. Felicity's mention of Mirikuru soldiers was a Great Pull. SP has issue with Felicity's machine gun spray and pray move. Felicty's character growth comes to a new level in the episode and everyone is impressed. Chris finds a reason for Oliver to have sleeves on his costume again. ( #bringbacksleeves ) We're all excited to see the T-Sphere's and of course Ray Palmer is trying to get Felicity's attention through her mobile phone. The show finally found a way to get rid of the Lazarus Pit after its heroic and historic reanimation of Sara. And the hosts have a message for Laurel: When MALCOLM tells you that doing something is a bad idea you've probably gone way too far. Someone needs to get Sara and Thea bad to 100%. Will it be Damian? Will it be Constantine? The relationship between Quentin Lance and Damian continues to confuse everyone. Everyone loves OTA – Original Team Arrow. Everyone rates the villain of the week, Double Down. SP was happy to see Ryan Robbins but knows Oliver is going to kills him eventually. The guys take bets on where Oliver is heading with the woman. We revisit the “Star City Beard Report” including his mutant power. Would you take a card for us? The fights continue to be amazing including the double fight this week and the sparing in Nanda Parbat and Thea's nightmare wake-up call fight. And finally, what happened with Oliver's decision to run for mayor? SP's theory about the Lair comes in handy here.

Popcorn Talk Network proudly presents a vodcast that offers a glimpse into the movies we love to watch with breakdown and analysis of the movies some might call… a "Guilty Movie Pleasure". Join us each week as Josh Macuga and Ben Begley breakdown your favorite films, from the classics to the yet to be seen; it’s all here under one banner… GUILTY MOVIE PLEASURES! This week on GMP, Ben Begley and Josh Macuga break down Punisher: War Zone!!!!! Punisher: War Zone is a 2008 American-German action film featuring the Marvel Comics character Frank Castle, aka ThePunisher, directed by Lexi Alexander. The film is a reboot that follows the original telling of Castle's war on crime and corruption rather than a sequel to 2004's The Punisher.[3] It is the third feature film adaptation of The Punisher and is the first film to be produced under the Marvel Studios and Marvel Knights production banner, which focuses on films for mature audiences.

Welcome back. Are you enjoying your summer? Introduction - Jake talks about his recent handyman accomplishment and I bring up two stories that explain what I've been doing with my life recently. [26:55] News - Jake and I talk about Lexi Alexander's new director gig and list out all the current Punisher appearances in Marvel's Secret Wars event. We also discuss a new contest and us sponsoring a warrior. There is also something about the Punishing appearing on Daredevil next year but whatever I'm sure it's fake. Contest - For this contest, we are giving away a free Tom Jane Punisher piece of artwork done in water colors by Star Wars artist Tod Allen Smith! All you need to do is either comment about us on our iTunes page or talk us up on Twitter and Facebook using the hashtags #PBC or #Punisherbodycount. Add a #Punisher hashtag too if you can, as this helps your message spread to other Punisher fans! I will check these for these hashtags every day to keep track of who has entered. In the sake of fairness and to prevent spamming, there is one entry per person. The contest ends July 1st, and the winner will be announced in the first episode in July. [43:52] Mail Call - In this segment, we will discuss the trials and tribulations of Detective Soap and why Frank continues to be the Punisher [1:05:40] Bullet Points - We chew the fat on Secret Wars #1, Ultimate End #1, and Battleworlds #1. Our favorite one may surprise you! [1:39:47] Flashbacks - Today we review an often ignored Punisher run: John Ostrander's Punisher, published under the brief Marvel Edge line of comics. We cover the first four issues here, where Frank Castle has his prison execution faked so he can take over a mafia organization on the request of the dying don. It's a run I've changed my mind on over the years, and we're interested to hear your take on it as well in the comments or on Facebook. [2:20:50] Discharge Papers - Jake recommends Scrotal Recall, and talk about my experience with the classic noir story, The Maltese Falcon.

Episode #74: Lexi Alexander
How Did This Get Made? has been on a roll lately. They've had guests like Lexi Alexander, director of Punisher: War Zone, Greg Sestero from The Room, and just performed a live show at Largo with Damon Lindelof and Superman's Jack O'Halloran. As we approach the one year anniversary of HDTGM? we have Paul Scheer on the show to talk about his podcast, Eardrop , and how he balances a busy career in television and film and an active online presence. Please do check out Eardrop and tell us what you think in the forum!
This week's How Did This Get Made? is the first of its kind. Our guests are Lexi Alexander, director of Punisher: War Zone and Patton Oswalt, one of the movie's most vocal supporters. Together with Paul and June (unfortunately Jason had to miss this one) they honestly explain how this movie got made: From the very first pitch meetings to the week after it was released. Hear how unfortunate timing, poor marketing, and mixed expectations affected the success of one of the coolest, craziest, most fun comic book adaptations of the decade (at least).
