038 - Superman, Dir. James Gunn Superman (2025) was a pretty important movie to get right. We are very happy that it is a win for the DC Fandom and a good start for whatever plans James Gunn has in store for the new DCEU. This one more closely resembles a comic book feel and look. David Corenswet's Superman and Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor feel very faithful to the source material and serve the story well. Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane is also wonderful casting.

Welkom bij Nerd Culture #216, jouw wekelijkse dosis films, series, comics en alles daartussenin. Deze week staan we stil bij het overlijden van cultacteur Michael Madsen en duiken we in verse MCU-geruchten: Spider-Man en The Punisher die samen tegen de Savage Hulk knokken? Yes please! Ook bespreken we het nieuws dat Disney een volledige Indiana Jones reboot wil. Natuurlijk delen we onze kijktips, knallen we door trailers, bespreken we Squid Game Season 3, The Batman II, Akira, en nog veel meer. Pak je drankje, leun achterover en nerd met ons mee!Michael Madsen op 67-jarige leeftijd overledenHollywood heeft afscheid moeten nemen van een ware cultheld: Michael Madsen, de iconische acteur met de gruizige stem en de dreigende uitstraling, is overleden op 67-jarige leeftijd. Hij werd wereldberoemd als de sadistische Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs en als Budd in Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 — rollen waarmee hij onvergetelijk werd in Quentin Tarantino's bloederige universum. Maar zijn nalatenschap reikt veel verder dan dat: met meer dan 300 filmcredits, van Donnie Brasco tot Sin City, bouwde Madsen een reputatie als Hollywood's ultieme bad guy met een rauw randje. Ondanks persoonlijke tragedies en een bewogen privéleven, werkte hij tot het laatst aan nieuwe indieprojecten en een dichtbundel. Een echte outlaw tot het einde.The Punisher en Spider-Man slaan de handen ineenEr gonzen nieuwe geruchten rond Spider-Man: Brand New Day, de volgende MCU-film met Tom Holland. Volgens insider Daniel Richtman gaan Spider-Man en Jon Bernthal's Punisher samen de strijd aan met een Savage Hulk, terwijl een Gang War woedt op de achtergrond. Wie de Hulk precies op de helden afstuurt is nog onduidelijk — Mister Negative lijkt een kanshebber. De film zou zwaar leunen op de gelijknamige controversiële comicrun waarin Peter's leven flink werd gereset. Met Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi) als regisseur belooft deze Spidey een wilde rit te worden richting juli 2026.Disney gaat Indiana Jones volledig rebootenTot slot lijkt het erop dat Lucasfilm en Disney nog niet klaar zijn met Indiana Jones. Na het tegenvallende resultaat van Dial of Destiny wil de studio de legendarische archeoloog een frisse start geven met een volledige reboot. Volgens insiders wordt de franchise eerst even in de ijskast gezet, maar een officiële aankondiging wordt al verwacht tijdens de D23 Expo volgend jaar. Indy-fans kunnen dus alvast gaan speculeren over wie de nieuwe hoed en zweep zal dragen.Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:00:30 Wat gaan we vandaag doen? 00:01:15 comic ding verdedigers 00:10:40 Twin Peaks aflevering 100:18:24 Squid Game Season 300:21:21 john cena film met idris elba00:26:41 The Running Man Trailer00:31:09 Michael Madsen op 67-jarige leeftijd overleden00:35:34 Eerste blik op de Amerikaanse Squid Game00:37:43 Disney gaat de Indiana Jones franchise rebooten00:43:34 Warner Bros heeft niet langer de rechten van Akira in handen00:45:50 Ichiban introduceert motor geïnspireerd door Akira00:48:56 She Rides Shotgun Trailer00:52:20 Matt Reeves heeft het script van The Batman II af00:56:56 Nicholas Hoult wil een team-up met The Joker in James Gunn's DCU00:59:52 David Corenswet hoopt dan weer op een r-rated Superman film01:02:48 Spider-Man en Punisher slaan de handen ineen tegen Savage Hulk01:05:00 TMNT keert terug in de bioscoop voor 35-jarig jubileum01:07:38 The Fast and the Furious 11 haalt opnieuw het lijk van Paul Walker uit de kast01:13:39 Neil Druckmann stapt weg bij seizoen drie van The Last of Us01:15:29 tom cruise01:19:10 Project Hail Mary Trailer#michaelmadsen #squidgame #indianajones #marvel #dc #superman #spiderman ------Spotify ► https://spoti.fi/2qhR6lrApple Podcast ► https://apple.co/3GzfqqDTwitter ► https://www.twitter.com/NerdCulturePCInstagram ► https://www.instagram.com/NerdCulture.PCJelle ► https://www.twitter.com/GKJelleHuey ► https://www.twitter.com/RealHueyBrownKoos ► https://www.twitter.com/jtmooten
Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesIt's been debated and anticipated…but Matt Reeves finally confirmed via Instagram on June 27 that he and co-writer Mattson Tomlin have completed their script for The Batman Part II. Variety reports that the film is scheduled to release on October 1, 2027, which - if true - will mean this sequel comes out more than five years after the first film. Both James Gunn and Reeves have been repeatedly asked about the state of the film, with Gunn recently rebuking online pressure for Reeves and remarking that a script is expected in June and - ta da, the Dark Knight arrived on time!One half of the big decisions needed to move the James Bond franchise forward has been made. Dune director Denis Villneuve will usher in the next 007 for Amazon MGM as the mega corp looks to refresh and restart the classic spy film franchise. David Heyman and Amy Pascal, who have already been announced as producers, will be joined by Tonya Lapointe who will serve as an executive producer alongside the director. Villneuve referred to Bond as “sacred territory” for him as a filmmaker.This week audiences said “YES” to original films, with the Brad Pitt-led F1 speeding to number one at the box office with a $144 million global takeover. Apple, who released the film, integrated it into their retail stores - with surprise appearances by Pitt and CEO Tim Cook - offered reduced tickets using ApplePay, and offered a deeper dive on Apple Maps of the Grand Prix race tracks, as well as other unique marketing opportunities. M3GAN 2.0 got a road rash, opening to just $10.2 million, and How to Train Your Dragon stayed strong at number two bringing in a three week domestic total of $200 million.Amazon MGM Studios has released the full trailer for Project Hail Mary, the upcoming film adaptation of the 2021 science fiction novel from The Martian author, Andy Weir. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the movie stars Ryan Gosling as a sixth-grade science teacher sent into space to save Earth. It is scheduled to hit theaters on March 20, 2026.Disney has announced a sequel to its live action Lilo and Stitch film. The news comes as the film approaches the $1 billion dollar mark at the global box office.Edgar Wright's latest film The Running Man released a trailer today. The movie is adapted from a Stephen King novel and stars Glen Powell, Colman Domingo, Josh Brolin, William H. Macey, and others in a dystopian game show style action flick.Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent has joined the cast of Legendary Entertainment's feature adaptation of the video game Street Fighter. Jackson will play Balrog, a disgraced boxer who is also the bodyguard of the villain. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that he is deep into training for the part and will be doing his own stunts. David Dastmalchian has also been cast to play baddie M. Bison.Sources tell Deadline that The Social Network director Aaron Sorkin has been set to direct The Social Network Part II for Sony Pictures. Insiders say that while it's being called part two, it's not a straight sequel but rather a follow-up to the original movie.WandaVision and Agatha All Along creator Jac Schaeffer is replacing Moira Walley-Beckett as showrunner for the Fourth Wing series adaptation at Amazon MGM Studios. Schaeffer signed an overall deal with the studio. The series is produced by Michael B. Jordan's company, Outlier Society.Over the weekend at car festival Fuel Fest, Vin Diesel spoke to a crowd of fans and confirmed a tentative release window for the next installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise for April of 2027. He also mentioned that he wants to reunite his character with Paul Walker's character Brian O'Conner. Since Walker passed away in 2013, he would have to be digitally inserted into the film.FX announced today that The Bear has been renewed for a fifth season.
Xbox is always finding rakes to step on, which is ridiculous. After the success for NCAA College football, EA is brining NCAA College Basketball, and no one is shocked. Vin Diesel announces the plan for Fast X part 2, and there's major concerns. Matt Reeves finally finishes the Script for The Batman sequel, and James Gunn gives us who is playing Jor El. Plus a full review for F1 The Movie, which is hands down the best movie of the year so far. That and more on tonight's episode.
In this episode of Scene N Nerd, Sarah and Will dive into the much-anticipated Marvel series "Ironheart," discussing the first three episodes and what they think of Riri Williams' journey as a young inventor stepping into a heroic role.

They also delve into the complexities of the villain, The Hood, and how his storyline intertwines with Riri's growth. The duo shares their thoughts on the supporting characters, including the emotional weight brought by Riri's AI companion and the impact of her friendships on her development.

Matt Reeves entregó el guion de The Batman Parte II. Paramount está desarrollando varios proyectos de Transformers. Amazon MGM Studios ya candidatos para interpretar a James Bond.
The worlds of film, gaming, and TV collide in this jam-packed news roundup that explores the surprising box office victory of Apple's F1 racing film and the spectacular failure of Megan 2.0, showing how unpredictable audience tastes have become in our post-pandemic entertainment landscape.The gaming industry reveals its shifting priorities as EA Sports announces the return of college basketball after a 15-year absence, potentially signaling a further pivot toward sports titles at the expense of more diverse gaming experiences. Meanwhile, Netflix quietly begins dismantling its gaming library, removing over 20 titles including critically acclaimed games like Hades and Death's Door – a troubling sign for their commitment to interactive entertainment.Franchise fever continues unabated with Vin Diesel teasing the potential return of Paul Walker's character for the final Fast & Furious film, raising fascinating questions about the ethical implications of digitally recreating deceased actors. Similarly, Matt Reeves completes The Batman 2 script amid fan pressure, though the film won't arrive until 2027, demonstrating how extended production timelines are becoming the norm for major properties.The episode also delves into casting updates for the Street Fighter movie, with 50 Cent joining as Balrog, hints of an Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake from voice actor Matt Ryan, and the Duffer Brothers' post-Stranger Things projects, including a crime thriller adaptation that's moved from page to development in record time.What emerges is a portrait of an entertainment industry still struggling to balance innovation with familiar IP, all while trying to capture the attention of increasingly fragmented audiences across multiple platforms. Which of these projects will succeed and which will fail? Time will tell, but the landscape is more unpredictable than ever.Music Produced by BlackOutBeatz414: https://www.youtube.com/@BlackOutBeatz414Facebook: www.facebook.com/GeekVisionz/Twitch: www.twitch.tv/geekvizentYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GeekvisionzEnt.

This is similar to July's Superman, which started out with the title Superman: Legacy. Gunn shared that he and his team do what he calls “premortems,” where they attempt to suss out issues with projects prior to release rather than reacting on the back end. The shortening of titles has come out of those discussions. In the same article, Gunn got candid about the state of Batman in the DCU and the complexities of navigating the character with Matt Reeves' adaptation in consideration or making it his own. Lastly, Gunn announced today that actor Tom Rhys Harries will play Basil Karlo/Clayface in the film set to be released in September 2026.Live action remakes continue to rule at the box office, with this weekend's How to Train Your Dragon capturing the top spot opening to a global $197 million.

Imagine being greeted in the dead of night by a small alien creature, running toward your bed. This disturbing experience set author Whitley Strieber on a dark and devastating path that culminated in the publishing of 1987's Communion. Strieber's life changed on the night of December 26, 1985 – and he has spent the last forty years trying to sort out exactly what happened. When Richard Hatem first stumbled upon the book Communion, he refused to pick it up. But after two years of post-USC Film School misery, he suddenly found dark solace within the story of Strieber and his strange encounters. As Richard struggles to find his writing voice, the story of Strieber's frightening journey begins to resonate in strange ways. And when Richard and his best friend Matt Reeves start working on the script that will one day become the Steven Segal movie Under Siege 2: Dark Territory – he learns that sometimes, friendship, humor and terrifying books can be the key to everything. Join Richard as he navigates the rough waters of screenwriting, alien abduction – and tries to figure out how to make the great film Die Hard even greater (as if that were possible).

Matt Stevens, designer and illustrator, talks about The Batman, a unique take on the Bruce Wayne and Batman mythology brought to life by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell, Paul Dano, and Andy Serkis. This 2022 version has less of the comic-y qualities that Joel Schumacher instilled in the 90s versions, but has a gritty, frightening ambiance closer to David Fincher's Se7en. In addition to The Batman, Stevens also talks about Good Movies as Old Books which reimagines movies as book covers.-Matt Stevens found himself frustrated with his current job as creative director at a brand agency, so he (literally) went back to the drawing board with an illustration project that turned out to be the perfect fit, designing a Nike Air Max shoe every day. After doing 50 drawings, he had initially chose to end the project, but aimed for 100 AirMax1-a-day drawings that he'd showcase in an art book, accompanying website, and exhibition, also proved rewarding. To date, he's created multiple, self-initiated projects, including the Good Movies as Old Books project, now a book and postcard set available from Chronicle.https://www.goodmoviesasoldbooks.com/https://www.hellomattstevens.com/https://www.hellomattstevens.com/store/batman-xwms5https://www.hellomattstevens.com/store/batman-xwms5-gnyzehttps://www.hellomattstevens.com/book-covers-varioushttps://www.hellomattstevens.com/blog/process-the-rookie-handbook-Taking Side Projects to the Next Level, HOW magazinehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1tXNGjxQv4jwbf77DJOffXpENtbJwcPPH/view?usp=sharingMatt Stevens on The Great Discontenthttps://thegreatdiscontent.com/interview/matt-stevens/-The Batman (2022)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1877830/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkeshttps://deadline.com/2024/10/dynamic-duo-movie-robins-dc-1236105077/-Batman and Se7en, the connectionshttps://x.com/JasonTselentis/status/176347788844597248https://www.vulture.com/2012/07/46-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-batman-films.htmlhttps://whatculture.com/film/superman-and-batman-team-up-movie-set-for-2015-Designers, artists, and media discussedSaul Basshttps://eyeondesign.aiga.org/design-history-101/Kurt Cobainhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_CobainPrismacolorhttps://www.prismacolor.com/-Other movies and shows discussed, alphabetical listBatman (1989)Batman Begins (2005)Batman Returns (1992)Batman v Superman (2016)Breaking Bad (2008-2013)Citizen Kane (1941)The Crow (1994)The Dark Knight (2008)The Dark Knight Rises (2012)Network (1976)Peacemaker (2022-)The Penguin (2024-)Se7en (1995)Thunderbolts* (2025)

Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: After years of delays, The Lawrence is finally rising in downtown Lawrenceville Construction on the Hilton Tapestry-branded hotel in downtown Lawrenceville has resumed after delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Managed by the Lawrenceville Downtown Development Authority, the project is on track for a mid-2026 opening. Once completed, "The Lawrence" will feature 120 beds, a full-service restaurant, and 5,000 square feet of conference space, making it the only hotel in downtown Lawrenceville. City officials view the hotel as a vital addition to support events, theater shows, and college activities, marking a key milestone in the area’s redevelopment. STORY 2: Bill restoring law enforcement's ability to request federal help heading to governor The Georgia General Assembly has passed Senate Bill 99, the Law Enforcement Partners Act, to restore state and local law enforcement's authority to collaborate with federal agencies, an authority unintentionally removed in 2020. Authored by Sen. Randy Robertson and carried by Rep. Matt Reeves, the bill allows law enforcement to request federal assistance for disaster management and joint task forces addressing issues like human trafficking, gang activity, and drug dealing. Georgia and Nebraska were the only states lacking such a law. The bill now awaits Governor Brian Kemp's decision to sign or veto it. STORY 3: Northeast Georgia Medical Center Braselton Celebrates 10th Anniversary The Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) Braselton celebrated its 10th anniversary, highlighting milestones like over 10,000 deliveries, 500,000 emergency visits, and 81,000 inpatient stays. Since opening in 2015, the hospital has grown from 100 to 188 beds, with expansions underway, including a larger ER by 2026. The campus features medical offices, a cancer center, and urgent care, while NGHS has invested over $1 billion in regional growth.

In this episode of Superhero Ethics, hosts Matthew and Riki analyze HBO's The Penguin series starring Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti. Set in Matt Reeves' Batman universe following the events of The Batman movie, the show explores the power vacuum left in Gotham's criminal underworld after the fall of crime boss Carmine Falcone.What makes Oz Cobb a compelling villain protagonist?The hosts discuss how the series portrays Oswald "Oz" Cobb (The Penguin) as a complex character who constantly shifts between sympathetic and monstrous. Unlike previous iterations that leaned into fantastical elements, this Penguin is grounded as a mobster with a physical disability who uses his exceptional charisma and manipulation skills to climb Gotham's criminal ladder. The show reveals his troubled childhood, including his complicated relationship with his mother and the shocking revelation that he was responsible for his brothers' deaths.How does The Penguin explore themes of respect and power?Matthew and Riki examine how Oz's actions are driven by his desperate need for respect and recognition. The series shows how he positions himself as a champion for the neglected citizens of Crown Point—getting electricity restored to the neighborhood while simultaneously building his criminal empire. This "crime socialism" approach allows him to frame himself as fighting for fairness and equality within the criminal world, convincing lower-level criminals to revolt against their bosses and support him instead.What makes the relationship between Oz and Victor so central to the story?The hosts highlight how the mentor-protégé relationship between Penguin and Victor Aguilar serves as the emotional core of the series. Though toxic and complicated—with Penguin both bullying Victor for his stutter while fiercely defending him from others who do the same—their bond provides some of the most compelling moments in the show. The hosts note interesting parallels to the Batman-Robin dynamic, positioning it as a dark mirror of that heroic relationship.Other topics covered in the episode:How Cristin Milioti's Sophia Falcone serves as a compelling antagonist with her own complex motivations for revengeThe shocking finale twist and its implications for Penguin's character developmentThe portrayal of Arkham Asylum and its problematic depiction of mental health institutionsConnections to Matt Reeves' broader Batman universe and potential future storylinesThe grounded approach to classic Batman villains compared to previous adaptationsHow the show depicts crime families filling power vacuums—similar to real-world political situationsThe Penguin demonstrates how villain-centered narratives can provide rich ethical territory to explore when characters are given depth and complexity. By examining the psychology and motivations behind traditionally one-dimensional villains, the show creates compelling television that challenges viewers to question their sympathies while never fully redeeming its monstrous protagonist. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Disney's live-action Snow White has officially hit theaters… but the numbers aren't exactly what the Mouse House was hoping for. Kristian Harloff and John Rocha are breaking it all down on today's show! Did the online controversy and social media backlash play a role in Snow White falling short of expectations? Was the movie's reception doomed from the start, or was it a case of audiences just not connecting with another remake? The guys discuss the latest reports showing Snow White pulling in just $43 million domestically and $44.3 million internationally, landing the film at an $87.3 million global total—far under the $65M domestic target. We'll talk about Deadline's comparison to Dumbo, the CinemaScore, and the film's polarizing reactions. Plus, did Rachel Zegler's casting really hurt or help in certain markets? And what about those claims that the film overperformed in conservative counties despite the “Snow Woke” criticism? But that's not all! Kristian and Rocha also cover:
