I was very excited when Alexis said yes to being a guest on the podcast. I really enjoyed the work she shared on Instagram and looked forward to getting to know her better. Now, you get that same chance. We've got a great conversation that spans "the big 3" (as dubbed by me), Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars. We start off with Disney, throwing it all the way back to when the Disney channel was a pay TV channel. Alexis talks about some of her first experiences with Disney, like "The Wonderful World of Disney", the movies and TV shows (including a surprising favorite movie). Plus, Alexis talks about Disney Cruises, why they mean so much to her and her family, and the ship she's excited to sail on. From there, we head into the Marvel Universe. Spider-Man and the X-Men movies were her early start into the fandom. Then her introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We talk about some of her favorite movies and characters, why she was forced to read Civil War, and what she's looking forward to in the MCU in the future (this was recorded prior to Thunderbolts releasing). Then we jump to lightspeed to a Galaxy Far, Far Away, and talk Star Wars. From her early experiences and where she got her start in the fandom. Movies, TV shows, and more are all talked about. Plus, we talk about Hayden Christensen and a picture she took with him at a convention. We wrap up with talking about the creative work that Alexis creates and shares on her social media side. We talk about how she first got started, what she shares and why, her goals for this year, and what you can expect to see.

Reunited, and it feels so good ...After taking a breather during the Milwaukee Film Festival (more on that in a moment), Dori and Kpolly got back behind the microphone to talk about the latest Marvel movie, Thunderbolts*. Due in part to the break in recording, this might be the first time in Cinebuds history that a film changed its title between its release and getting discussed on the podcast — nice to know the Marvel Cinematic Universe can still keep us on our toes 36 movies in.You'll hear our hosts talk about the focus on mental health that hovers over Thunderbolts*, the ideas about found family (or teammates), David Harbour's welcome heaping helping of comic relief amid many other brooding characters and Florence Pugh's commitment to her role that saw her leap off a 2,000-foot skyscraper.Of course, we couldn't close the episode with getting a quick Milwaukee Film Festival report from Kpolly, who happily notes the event's 47% increase in attendance per theater.

Après plusieurs années à essuyer de sévères retours critiques et de sacrés revers au box-office, le géant américain semble trouver un nouveau souffle, du moins avec un film qui profite d'un peu plus de soin que certains autres - ou du moins qui plaît plus, de l'avis général, et qui pour Bob Iger, signerait même le retour d'une façon de faire "plus tournée vers la qualité" au sein de l'entité. Peut-on le croire ?

The new THUNDERBOLTS* assembles some leftovers from the Marvel Cinematic Universe who are tough to describe as superheroes but nonetheless step up to save the day when their city needs them, which reminded us of MYSTERY MEN and its negligibly powered not-so-superteam. A flop in 1999, the comedy is as chaotic and sloppy as its titular (with an asterisk) group, but that imperfect charm is arguably central to the cult appreciation it's attained since. So this week we're taking a closer look at MYSTERY MEN's small-time wannabe crime-fighters to determine how they fit into the bigger picture of modern superhero cinema. Then in Feedback, we keep the SINNERS conversation going with the help of some prompts from our listeners. Please share your thoughts about MYSTERY MEN, THUNDERBOLTS*, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Since Marvel Comics introduced the X-Men in 1963, Marvel's merry mutants have gone through any number of permutations. Countless characters have joined and left the squad, and the team has produced a slew of spin-off groups that still undeniably fall under the X-banner. With the X-Men back in the public spotlight thanks to Disney+'s blockbuster “X-Men 97” animated series, and the property's slow but sure introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we wanted to look back at the many iconic rosters of X-Men from the comics, and attempt to name the Best X-Men Team Line-Up ever. Teams discussed: Original X-Men, All-New All-Different Team, Outback X-Men, Blue Team, Gold Team, New Mutants, X-Factor Government Team, Excalibur, Generation X, the Krakoan Quiet Council, and more! Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Brendan Hay and Kevin Dillon, and EXTRA-SPECIAL GUEST AJ Locasio, the voice actor who brings to life Gambit on “X-Men ‘97” as they discuss 16 iconic rosters from the comics featuring Marvel's Merry Mutants.

Directed by Jake Schreier from a screenplay by Eric Pearson and Joanna Calo, THUNDERBOLTS* is the 36th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The story follows former black widow Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) as she carries out deadly operations for CIA director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). De Fontaine faces imminent impeachment for her work with O.X.E. Group, so she dispatches Yelena, John Walker, Ava Starr, and Taskmaster to a covert O.X.E. facility under the pretense of a special assignment. Once there, they find themselves ensnared in a death trap, uniting the unconventional team of antiheroes as they take on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts. HARRY YOON, ACE THUNDERBOLTS* marks Harry's second stint in the MCU with the first being Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021).

Harry's other work includes the films The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019), First Man (2018) and Detroit (2017). ANGELA M.

Matt's declaration that he was forever finished with the Marvel Cinematic Universe lasted all of one movie, once Thunderbolts* started getting good reviews. So he went out and saw it, and thought it was..... okay. But to go through it, he needed to bring on two big-time fans of the movie, so Neophyte Reviews and Screen Time Kota join the show for a discussion of Thunderbolts* and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general.

We explore the similiarities and differences in Thunderbolts media (Spoiler-free!), and ask the big question: should The Thunderbolts have debuted earier in MCU history? One co-host thinks YES and one disagrees!

Frank and Jonathan break down Marvel's surprise decision to market Thunderbolts as The New Avengers and share a spoiler‑free then spoiler‑filled review of the film. They explore its focus on mental health, standout character arcs, and smaller‑scale storytelling that still packs emotional weight. The episode also features an in‑depth interview with producer Caitlin Delaney, who explains what a service producer really does, how to launch movies on tight budgets, and why mentorship shortens every filmmaker's learning curve. The hosts wrap with the latest entertainment headlines and weekly streaming picks. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Introduction and episode roadmap 00:19 Thunderbolts becomes The New Avengers marketing shift 02:39 Thirty‑second spoiler‑free first reactions 03:09 Themes of loneliness, identity, and reaching out 05:24 Character deep dive: Yelena, Red Guardian, US Agent 07:03 MCU tonal shift toward smaller budgets and bigger heart 10:35 Spoiler zone: Bob versus the void and inception‑style mindscapes 24:02 Indie sensibilities from director Jake Schreier 26:35 Two mid‑credit scenes and future Avengers team speculation 30:44 Ratings: Frank 8 of 10, Jonathan 9 of 10 31:31 News roundup: Gears of War Reloaded, Shōgun season two, Peaky Blinders return, Fantastic Four prequel comics, new Hunger Games film 40:44 Interview: producer Caitlin Delaney on budgets, genre trends, and her online mentorship academy 57:00 Creating passion projects while keeping crews employed 1:06:11 Weekly recommendations and show close Key Takeaways The New Avengers rebrand signals Marvel's intent to elevate a “B‑team” while keeping audience expectations realistic. The film's core message highlights mental health struggles and self‑worth, showing how even “benchwarmers” can rise. Smaller budget and limited CGI allow richer character moments that tug at viewers' emotions. Bob Reynolds / Sentry introduces massive power balanced by bipolar‑coded vulnerability, hinting at future MCU stakes. Indie director Jake Schreier's muted color palette and tight locations give the movie an A24 vibe within the MCU. Two credit tags tease Red Guardian's comedic future and a stronger rival Avengers squad led by Sam Wilson. Producer Caitlin Delaney explains how service producers turn money and script into finished films and why every creative benefits from mentorship. Memorable Quotes “Even the kid on the bench can hit a home run.” — Frank “The boundaries in your mind are also paper thin. You can break through them.” — Jonathan “Everybody in the industry needs to think like a producer now.” — Caitlin Delaney Call to Action Enjoyed the conversation?

[Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Thunderbolts*.]One of the very best parts of having a returning guest on Collider Ladies Night? Realizing how much they've accomplished during such a short period of time. Geraldine Viswanathan made her first Ladies Night appearance in 2020 for The Broken Hearts Gallery and since has completed a four-season run on Miracle Workers, starred opposite Zach Galifianakis, Elizabeth Banks and Sarah Snook in The Beanie Bubble, headlined Drive-Away Dolls with Margaret Qualley, made Oh, Hi! with Molly Gordon which secured distribution out of Sundance 2025, and now she's part of one of the biggest film franchises of all time, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Viswanathan makes her first MCU appearance as Mel in Thunderbolts*. She's Valentina Allegra de Fontaine's (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) extremely attentive and diligent assistant. Initially, she seems quite loyal too, but when Bucky (Sebastian Stan) suggests Mel secretly slip him information on Val in hopes of having her impeached, eventually, Mel concedes. While that choice may suggest Mel's willingness to double-cross her boss, ultimately, she changes course again, pushing the button that saves Val's life from the Sentry (Lewis Pullman).So where does Mel stand? Does she skew more villain than hero? Does she still admire Valentina? That's exactly what I dug into with Viswanathan during her second Collider Ladies Night interview. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Summer's here -- at least at the movie theater -- so we've got a jam-packed episode of Breakfast All Day for you. We begin with the movie that's kicking off blockbuster season: "Thunderbolts*," with an asterisk. It's the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the best one in a long time. We really enjoyed this. In theaters. Next up is "Another Simple Favor," the sequel to the 2018 comic thriller "A Simple Favor." Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick reunite, and while there's not much spark left, the clothes are still spectacular. Streaming on Prime Video. Then, we honor the beautiful work of the late Halyna Hutchins with a review of "Rust." The cinematographer died in an accidental shooting during production on the Western. Now that the film is out -- and that proceeds are going to Hutchins' family -- we wanted to watch and discuss it. In theaters and on VOD. Finally, we catch up with "Havoc," which has been the No. 1 movie on Netflix for some reason. Tom Hardy plays a detective in a drug war between the city's corrupt mayor and its corrupt police department. From the director of "The Raid" movies. Streaming now. Plus, we did a Movie News LIVE! for the last time before Christy's lumpectomy on Monday. We're not sure what May is going to look like, but we wanted to make sure and say hi to our folks one more time. Among the topics we discussed were Jeremy Renner, "Sgt. Rock," John Mulaney's Netflix show and more. We'll keep you posted on our plans through Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter.
