Netflix animation is having another monster year, with Nathan Greno's body-swap comedy “Swapped” racing up the platform's all-time rankings behind “KPop Demon Hunters.” Jim Hill and Drew Taylor also examine Disney's uncertain live-action remake strategy, the return of “Hotel Transylvania” and a new theatrical Looney Tunes short. Plus, Drew shares highlights from his conversation with Greno about the making of Netflix's latest animated hit. HIGHLIGHTS • “The Odyssey” dominates the worldwide box office while Disney's live-action “Moana” suffers a steep second-weekend decline. • Disney moves ahead with “Tangled” and a possible continuation of “The Princess and the Frog” despite uneven remake results. • “Toy Story 5” approaches the billion-dollar mark as “Minions & Monsters” falls short of franchise expectations. • Sony and Amazon MGM prepare “The Haunting of Hotel Transylvania” for a theatrical release in 2027. • Disney Junior tests a YouTube-first launch strategy with the new animated preschool series “Ozzy Fox.” • Director Nathan Greno discusses the creation and unexpected streaming success of “Swapped.” • “Daffy Season” brings the Looney Tunes back to theaters with a modern spin on the classic rabbit-season-versus-duck-season routine. • Titmouse joins Meow Wolf's upcoming Los Angeles exhibition as an animation and creative-design partner.

That upcoming star is of course the biggest of them all: Bugs Bunny.

Marc and Jordan take a look at three shorts featuring flagship Looney Tunes characters being handed a love interest. Two of these have the same essential concept, with 1962's Honey's Money being a soft remake of Friz Freleng's own His Bitter Half from 1950, replacing Daffy Duck with Yosemite Sam. Then there is Rabbit Romeo, genuinely one of the strangest Bugs Bunny shorts we've ever encountered, which raises genuine concerns about Elmer Fudd's interests. Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram⁠⁠⁠

The Department of Justice just approved the Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery deal, and it is the biggest media story of the week. In this quick hit episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, Frank breaks down what the $111 billion sign-off actually means, which regulators are still standing in the way, and why he believes this merger is bad news for fans, creators, and the entertainment industry as a whole.This is the largest federal hurdle the deal had to clear, and now that Washington has stepped aside, the conversation shifts to the state attorneys general and overseas regulators who could still slow it down. Frank also lays out exactly which franchises and brands would end up under the same corporate umbrella, from DC and Harry Potter to Star Trek and Top Gun, and makes the case for why all of that consolidation should worry you.0:00 DOJ Approves the $111 Billion Paramount and Warner Bros Deal0:16 The Studios and Franchises Being Combined0:25 Why Frank Thinks This Deal Should Be Stopped0:33 What Comes Next and Final ThoughtsThe DOJ has approved the Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery deal valued at $111 billion, clearing the biggest federal antitrust hurdle the merger faced.The fight is not over. The California AG, New York, and nearly a dozen other states are still reviewing the deal, along with regulators in the UK and EU.Australia cleared the deal on June 9 and Germany cleared it earlier this year, so international approvals are starting to stack up.The combined company would unite DC, Harry Potter, Looney Tunes, and CNN with Paramount franchises like Star Trek, Top Gun, and Mission: Impossible.Frank's take is that this consolidation hampers creativity and leads to job losses, making it a win for the Ellisons and wealthy investors but a bad deal for everyone else."The DOJ just approved the Paramount and Warner Brothers deal for $111 billion.

There's no Ezra this week, beloved listeners, so Helena and Matty decided to use this time to catch up on what we've seen in a very long overdue What We Sneep episode! Matty goes first (as they have less to cover, per usual), which includes covering their month of renting multiple dvds before watching two movies back to back that were so bad they just stopped watching movies full stop. They also played a lot of Skyrim, which they do not recommend. Helena goes next, covering a much wider group of films across a variety of genres, most of which were actually good and didn't make her stop watching movies. This does include several Looney Tunes shorts, which she DOES recommend! The episode takes a turn at the end to complain about fandom, capitalism, and how media companies really just want your money and won't really give you what you want in the end because they just see you as money making machines. Yippee! Our duo also watched Anaconda (1997) together. No they have not seen the remake. Yes they do spend a lot of time this episode talking about Anaconda. Brace yourselves.

Episode Summary Nicolas Cage finally gets to be Nicolas Cage, and Frank has thoughts. This week the guys are back in studio to break down the new Spider-Noir series, the ElevenLabs deal recreating Stan Lee's voice that has fans up in arms, and the freshly revealed Minecraft Movie Squared logo and Matt Berry casting. Along the way they realize the Herobrine creepypasta they believed for years was apparently made up the whole time. The back half turns into a full 2026 mid-year check-in, ranking the year's biggest surprises like Wonder Man and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms while looking ahead to Clayface, Spider-Man Brand New Day, and House of the Dragon. Then comic writer Bill Stoddard joins to talk Murder Mouse, the gleefully unhinged book Frank describes as Chuck E. Cheese meets Disneyland meets an 80s slasher flick. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro, In-Studio Catch-Up, and Patreon Thanks 02:32 Minecraft Movie Squared and the Herobrine Myth 08:10 Stan Lee's AI Voice and the ElevenLabs Backlash 16:42 Spider-Noir Review 25:22 2026 Mid-Year Check-In: Movies and Shows 34:15 What's Coming Up Next: Clayface, BioShock Dreams, and More 50:32 Guest Interview: Bill Stoddard on Murder Mouse 1:02:55 Weekly Picks and Comics for the DC Blackout Key Takeaways The Minecraft Movie Squared logo sparks end-game theories, Matt Berry joins the cast, and the crew comes to terms with the Herobrine creepypasta being fabricated rather than real lore. ElevenLabs and the company holding Stan Lee's likeness launch an AI voice to read public library books, drawing heavy backlash, especially given Lee sued over his likeness rights back in 2018. Spider-Noir lands a low 8 from Frank and a 10 out of 10 from Squeaks, with the color and black-and-white toggle and the Ben Reilly name nod as standout details, though the detective pacing runs slow for modern viewers. The mid-year review crowns Wonder Man, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and The Boys finale as highlights, with Clayface, Spider-Man Brand New Day, House of the Dragon, and Lanterns leading the watchlist. A running rant on movie theater popcorn buckets covers the Lobo motorcycle, the 80 dollar Galactus, and the Masters of the Universe sword and castle, plus why studios keep missing the collectibles opportunity. Bill Stoddard breaks down the origin of Murder Mouse, the fourth-wall humor inspired by Looney Tunes, the new Head Case Comics label, and a planned From Dusk Till Dawn style one-shot. Quotes "It's legal, but not right." "It takes the value out of the voice, the words they spoke when they were alive." "Basically, Chuck E. Cheese meets Disneyland meets an 80s slasher flick." "What if the classic Mickey Mouse saw how the world was today?" "Wonder Man just came out of nowhere."

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you take cartoon chaos and drop it into a gritty detective story that actually works? Who Framed Roger Rabbit might be one of the boldest movie swings of the last 40 years, blending slapstick cartoon madness with a noir mystery in a way that still feels surprisingly smart. We head to Maroon Studios and Cloverleaf Studios to break down why this 1988 classic still feels like a technical achievement, even in a world packed with CGI.We talk about what makes the illusion so convincing, from the practical effects and real-world interactions to the tiny details like shadows, dust trails, and the way the camera treats animated characters like actual actors on a physical set. We also dive into the performances, especially Eddie Valiant's dry frustration playing perfectly against Roger's nonstop chaos. On top of that, we explore how Robert Zemeckis's direction and Alan Silvestri's score give the movie that classic old Hollywood feel while keeping the energy moving.Beyond the filmmaking, we get into the movie's cultural impact. Seeing Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny share the screen feels like a once in a lifetime moment, and we talk about why something like that feels almost impossible today. We also explore the darker side of the film, from Judge Doom and the nightmare fuel of the dip to Eddie's alcoholism and the freeway conspiracy that feels way more relevant than you might expect. By the end, we're asking a bigger question: if you didn't grow up on Looney Tunes or classic Disney cartoons, does Who Framed Roger Rabbit still land the same in the streaming era?If you enjoyed the episode, subscribe, share it with a movie-loving friend, and leave us a five star review to help more people discover the show.Apologies, there is a static sound during some of Anthony's parts.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show

If we told you that this week's episode of the Empire Podcast featured not one but two people banging on about Taylor Swift, odds are you'd reckon one of them was James Dyer. And you'd be wrong. For those people are Ben Travis and David Lowery, director of the new poptastic psychodrama, Mother Mary. Lowery is this week's guest, and he popped into the podbooth to sit down with Ben to talk all about how Taylor Swift influenced part of his approach to the Anne Hathaway-Michael Coel flick, and much, much more, including an ultra-geeky exchange about Star Wars action figures. [36:32 - 58:21 approx] Either side of that, Helen O'Hara welcomes James Dyer and Amon Warmann into the podbooth as they discuss great movie prison breaks and what makes for a good biopic; the week's movie news (at least, the stuff that broke before the pod was recorded... thanks a bunch, Miami Vice '85 casting news and Clayface trailer!); and review Mother Mary, Charlize Theron-Taron Egerton thriller Apex, and Antoine Fuqua's Michael Jackson biopic, Michael. Enjoy.
