    What do Hollywood, Joan Didion, and the Bible have in common? More than you'd expect. In this episode, New York Times film critic and author Alissa Wilkinson joins Dru Johnson to discuss the life, work, and worldview of Joan Didion, one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century. Wilkinson's new book, We Tell Ourselves Stories, explores how Didion made sense of chaos through narrative—and what her work reveals about faith, trauma, politics, and cultural memory. Together, Alissa and Dru explore Didion's insight that stories are not just entertainment; they are survival mechanisms, tools we use to impose order on a chaotic world. But is that all Scripture is—just another human-made narrative? Wilkinson offers a careful reflection on the limits and power of storytelling, showing how Didion's work can challenge both Christian belief and secular mythmaking. They also dive into conspiracy theories, the fusion of politics and Hollywood, and the rise of nostalgia as a cultural sickness. From John Wayne to 9/11 to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this episode traces the invisible threads between the stories we inherit and the truths we cling to. We are listener supported.

    Ironheart is a new miniseries from Marvel Television. It is the 28th (not a typo) TV series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it concludes Phase Five of the MCU after six movies and eight series. Ironheart is set about six months after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which came out in 2022, but which is set in the spring of 2025 — which sets this show in our future, around the fall of 2025. It is the first Marvel product that The Nose has covered since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, more than two years ago. And: The New York Times has published its list of “The 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century” as selected by more than 500 influential figures in and around the film industry. And on July 2, the Times published a follow-up list of the top 500 movies of the century* as submitted by its readers. The Nose participated, and it has thoughts about the whole thing. *I feel like I have to mention here that the Times is calling these lists the best of the “21st century” and that movies were eligible if they were released in the U.S. on or after January 1, 2000. The 21st century started on January 1, 2001. I’m sorry to bring it up. I don’t make the rules or, ya know, decide how counting works.

Greg Alba & Andrew Gordon (CinePals) dive into Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts—a bold, emotional Marvel movie that deeply explores themes of mental health, grief, trauma, and depression through its conflicted, broken heroes. This reaction covers it all: characters, Easter eggs, emotional arcs, and both the Thunderbolts mid-credits scene and the Fantastic Four post-credits scene that ties directly into Marvel's future. The Thunderbolts cast includes Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova (Black Widow, Midsommar), Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / The Winter Soldier (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), Wyatt Russell as John Walker / U.S. Agent (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster (Quantum of Solace), David Harbour as Red Guardian (Stranger Things, Black Widow), Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost (Ant-Man and the Wasp), and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Seinfeld, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier). We also see Harrison Ford's General Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross (Indiana Jones, Star Wars), now as President Ross, and explore the larger MCU connections. This film beautifully sets up the next phase, including Fantastic Four, Avengers: Doomsday, Avengers: Secret Wars, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Punisher Special, and more Spider-Man adventures in the MCU. We break down how Thunderbolts advances each character's arc and what it means for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of June 27, 2025. Even if you're not necessarily a racing fan, "F1 The Movie" (from the director/producer of Top Gun Maverick) is a spectacle worth checking out on the biggest screen and best sound possible. Also out is  "M3GAN 2.0", which kind of felt like "Terminator 2", but still was different enough to be fun. And on streaming, it took Andy a couple of episodes to get the hang of "Ironheart" on Disney+ and he is hooked! It is the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe series about a girl who builds her own Iron Man suit. Now, "Countdown" on Prime Video has some good action series moments and a decent cast. Still, it didn’t draw Andy in like the other shows this week.  The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.  Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.  Listen regularly on your favorite platform, at kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSLNewsRadio App. Join the conversation on Facebook @FanEffectShow, or Instagram @FanEffectShow.

    With Marvel's ‘first family' finally joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe next month in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, we thought it would be a good time to look back at the theatrical history of this extremely troubled franchise. There have been three attempts across four movies to make the Fantastic Four work on the silver screen, from the unreleased 1994 Roger Corman production, to the two Tim Story-directed films at 20th Century Fox in 2005 and 2007, to the ill-fated production of 2015's Fant4stic, which might just be the worst superhero movie ever made. Some of these movies are better than their reputations suggest – the Tim Story films, with a charming cast and good sense of tone, are fine, if not particularly special – but on the whole, Hollywood has never known what to do with these characters, and surveying these 30 years of failed attempts to bring the Fantastic Four into the cinematic mainstream makes for a fun and fascinating conversation. Enjoy!  Read Jonathan Lack's movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.comSubscribe to JAPANIMATION STATION, our podcast about the wide and wonderful world of anime: https://japanimationstation.comRead Jonathan's book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vKSubscribe to our YouTube channels!

    In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas break down the first three episodes of Marvel's Ironheart, now streaming on Disney+. They discuss Riri Williams' return from Wakanda Forever, her emotional and tech-filled journey through Chicago, and her confrontation with Parker Robbins, aka The Hood. The episode dives deep into the show's themes of grief, legacy, and identity, while teasing Mephisto's looming presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With strong performances by Dominique Thorne and Anthony Ramos, the show has potential—despite a rocky rollout and inconsistent writing. This mid-season review also includes predictions, comic book context, and thoughts on how Ironheart fits into Marvel's Phase 5 and beyond. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00:00 Introduction and first impressions 00:00:59 Riri's transition from Wakanda Forever to Ironheart 00:02:37 Chicago setting and the show's authenticity 00:03:36 Emotional honesty in superhero storytelling 00:04:48 Weak writing and underdeveloped supporting characters 00:06:22 Gen Z tone and target audience 00:06:48 Standout performance: Anthony Ramos as The Hood 00:07:32 Natalie's arc and AI consciousness 00:08:21 Episode 2: flashbacks, trauma, and Stark legacy 00:10:12 Stark comparisons and Wakandan tech 00:12:30 Confusion around Zeke and character awkwardness 00:13:44 Episode 3: action, tension, and Mephisto's influence 00:14:53 The contracts, demonic pacts, and tattoo symbolism 00:18:08 Breaking down the greenhouse heist 00:20:28 CGI highs and lows in action scenes 00:21:55 Mephisto's growing control over Parker 00:23:06 Predictions for Mephisto, Doctor Doom, and future MCU tie-ins 00:25:01 Comic history of Mephisto, Ghost Rider, and potential Phase 7 arcs 00:26:46 Mid-season rating and final thoughts 00:29:10 Armor Wars, Disney's past mistakes, and the show's chopped-up structure 00:30:36 What's working and what we hope to see next Key Takeaways: Ironheart starts slow but picks up steam by episode 3, with tighter dialogue and higher stakes. Dominique Thorne (Riri) and Anthony Ramos (Parker/The Hood) deliver strong, grounded performances. The show leans heavily on Wakanda Forever as backstory—watching it first is essential. Parker's contracts and tattoos hint at Mephisto's presence, possibly laying groundwork for Midnight Sons or Doctor Doom. Chicago is a refreshing setting, adding a fresh visual layer rarely seen in Marvel properties. Disney's batch-release of episodes may reflect leftover strategy from the Chapek-era content slate. Natalie's role as an AI based on Riri's memories is an emotional standout. The Hood may become a recurring villain across MCU titles like Daredevil: Born Again. Memorable Quotes: “You don't hear heroes say that very often—but sometimes, you're not okay.” “Ramos never misses. He's the most compelling thing on screen right now.” “These characters feel like NPCs. The only ones that feel real are Riri and The Hood.” “This should've been a movie. You can feel how it was chopped up.” “That's not ink—it's a contract spreading across his skin.” Call to Action: Enjoying the episode?

His numerous episodic television credits include Wolf Pack, E.R., JAG, and The Middleman. He provided the voice of Peter Pan in the Disney animated feature Return To Never Land and still does the voice for Disney today.A native of Louisiana, Weaver studied in New York City, Oxford University, and graduated from UCLA with a degree in English Literature and a minor in Political Science. He lives in Los Angeles where he works as a Director, Producer, Screenwriter, Actor, and Distributor through his company Secret Identity Pictures.Spider-Man: Brand New Day is getting tantalizingly close to production ahead of its planned release date of July 31, 2026. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton will helm the upcoming sequel, replacing Jon Watts, who worked on all three of the previous Spider-Man films. Brand New Day is set to kick off Tom Holland's second trilogy of Marvel Cinematic Universe films, opening a new chapter for his iteration of Peter Parker after the landmark events of No Way Home.Though Holland's fourth Spider-Man film is still early in its development, rumors are already spreading about what audiences should expect and who may appear therein. The latest reports for Spider-Man: Brand New Day suggest that the film will feature a packed cast, including at least three major villains from the comics. While fans may shudder at the idea of Brand New Day being an overstuffed mess like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 or Spider-Man 3, I think there is a common denominator between these characters that hints at the upcoming film's intriguing story.Anyone who has been paying attention to the recent rumors and reports about Spider-Man: Brand New Day knows that the film is expected to include an overabundance of Spider-Man villains. While there has been no official confirmation of which antagonists will appear in the movie, various insiders have reported that characters like Scorpion, Tombstone, Mister Negative, Black Cat, and Tarantula could all show up to battle Spider-Man in his next cinematic outing. For many Spider-Man fans, these rumors could evoke bad memories of past franchises.Both the Sam Raimi Trilogy and Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man made a similar mistake in their final films, including far too many characters (particularly villains) for a movie. Spider-Man 3 featured a trio of villains, including Venom, New Goblin, and Sandman.Masters of the Universe Gets RebootedAlong with Galitzine as He-Man, the movie also stars Camila Mendes as Teela, Jared Leto as Skeletor, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms, Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Morena Baccarin as the Sorceress, James Purefoy as King Randor, Charlotte Riley as Queen Marlena Glenn, and Sasheer Zamata as Suzie. Travis Knight is directing with a screenplay by Chris Butler.Return to Arlen With the King of the Hill RevivalThe synopsis reads, "After years working a propane job in Saudi Arabia to earn their retirement nest egg, Hank and Peggy Hill return to a changed Arlen, Texas to reconnect with old friends Dale, Boomhauer and Bill. Meanwhile, Bobby is living his dream as a chef in Dallas and enjoying his 20s with his former classmates Connie, Joseph and Chane."The synopsis of the reboot has shared more details about what's been happening with the Hill family since fans last saw them in the original show. Surprisingly, Hank had taken up a job in Saudia Arabia, taking him away from Arlen for many years before his eventual return to his old home. Meanwhile, Bobby is now working as a professional chef, a nod to how the original show explored the character's passion and talent for cooking.How to train dragonThe synopsis reads, "After years working a propane job in Saudi Arabia to earn their retirement nest egg, Hank and Peggy Hill return to a changed Arlen, Texas to reconnect with old friends Dale, Boomhauer and Bill. Meanwhile, Bobby is living his dream as a chef in Dallas and enjoying his 20s with his former classmates Connie, Joseph and Chane."As studios continued to bank on remakes, reboots, and revivals, the decision to turn beloved animations into live-action has proven mostly profitable. How to Train Your Dragon marks the latest example, just weeks after Disney's Lilo & Stitch hit. Per Deadline, How to Train Your Dragon is off to a great start, debuting with an $83.7 million opening week, the highest in the franchise so far.The How to Train Your Dragon animated trilogy was a big commercial hit. Overall, it grossed $1.63 billion worldwide at the box office against a joint budget of $439 million (via

    Sometimes I just stumble across people and love what they do and create. This is the case with Cailin aka Cailin.in.Character on socials. I loved her Midnight Spider cosplay, started following her, and got to know more of what she's into from what she shared. Now, you get to hear about some of her favorite fandoms! We kick the first half of the episode off talking about DC and Marvel. With DC, we start off by talking about how Cailin got into DC via the DC Animated Universe (hello Justice League!). She talks about her love of Batman and Wonder Woman, and some more of the shows and movies she's enjoyed. On the flip side, with Marvel, this was something that Cailin wasn't into. Until she fell in love with Groot. Cailin talks about some of her favorite shows and movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Wandavision, Netflix's Daredevil, and more. Then, Cailin talks to me about the Romantasy genre of books. She talks about how she first got into the genre - from which book started it all, a book series that she said is a great gateway into the genre, and some of her favorites, including LJ Andrews work. Lastly, we wrap up with Cosplay. Cailin talks about how she got interested in Cosplay. We talk about some of her favorite characters she's represented, the background behind Midnight Spider, and what could be coming in the future.

    What if embracing play could transform not only our perception of reality but also the world we live in? Join me, Captain Frodo, as we embark on a whimsical exploration of the intrinsic connection between play and showmanship. Together, we'll question whether play unearths pre-existing truths or crafts entirely new perspectives. Drawing inspiration from cultural phenomena like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and thinkers such as Huitzinger, we'll investigate how play might be the cornerstone of human constructs like law, art, and philosophy. This episode is an invitation to broaden your understanding of play as a key to unlocking human creativity, growth, and cultural evolution.Next, we journey into the vibrant and surreal world of carnivals, inspired by Bruce Caron's book, "Inside the Live Reptile Tent." Imagine a realm where laughter and play serve as tools to conquer fear, much like an emotional boot camp. The mythopoetic nature of carnivals offers us a unique blend of reality and imagination, transforming them into metaphors for our own playful yet profound journeys. We'll reflect on the allure and deception of sideshows, questioning their authenticity and exploring how they encapsulate our deepest desires and dreams. Through the lens of both popular culture and personal experience, we'll unravel the carnival as a living testament to the power of imagination.To wrap things up, we delve into the raw and sometimes controversial power of carnival attractions, reflecting on my personal experiences in uncovering the delicate balance between reality and performance. The intimate nature of sideshows provides a profound connection with audiences, challenging societal norms and inviting us to engage with the world in new and meaningful ways. I'll share why staying "alive on the inside" through curiosity and social interaction is crucial for any performer and how embracing play can fuel creativity and authenticity. By connecting deeply with our craft, we redefine showmanship, unlocking new dimensions of joy and creativity in both our performances and our lives.Support the show...Now you can get t-shirts and hoodies with our wonderful logo.
