What If the CIA and Weyland-Yutani Merged? (Spoiler: Everyone Dies) This week on the podcast, Alien: Earth Episode 5 and Episodes 3 & 4 of The Terminal List: Dark Wolf reviews. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Alien Earth: The Terminal List: Alien: Earth (FX/Hulu) Episode 5 – “In Space, No One…” Summary: A flashback shows the events that occurred on the Maginot starting seventeen days before it reached Earth. Junior security officer Clem wakes Morrow from cryosleep and tells him there has been a fire in one of the containment rooms. Two facehuggers have escaped and latched upon ship’s captain Dinsdale and science officer Bronski. Dinsdale dies from the facehugger’s acid blood when medical officer Rahim attempts to cut the tail from his neck. After being told by engineer Shmuel that the ship’s navigational systems were also damaged in the fire, Morrow concludes that a crew member has sabotaged the ship. Executive officer Zaveri assumes command of the ship, but Morrow threatens to relieve her if she does not prioritize the creatures above the crew. Bronski is placed in cryo-sleep to prevent the gestation of the Xenomorph, but this fails. In science officer Chibuzo’s lab, one leech specimen manages to open its test tube from the inside, and lays its larvae in her water bottle. Witnessing this, the Ocellus also escapes after Chibuzo fails to seal its containment vessel. Apprentice engineer Malachite drinks the water, and the larvae kill him from the inside; Chibuzo and Rahim are also killed by their defensive toxic gas when trying to extract them. Witnessing this, Zavari is in shock and Morrow relieves her of command. After being interrogated by Morrow, navigator Teng is killed by the fully-grown Xenomorph. Chief engineer Petrovich is revealed to be behind the sabotage at the order of Boy Kavalier, who promises him a hybrid body if the ship crashes in Prodigy territory. Petrovich kills Clem and is in turn killed by Morrow, who retreats to the control room and seals himself in. Zaveri is killed by the Xenomorph outside the door. With everyone dead, Morrow locks himself in the panic room and awaits the crash. Back in the present, Morrow meets with Yutani, offering to retrieve the specimens by force and kill Kavalier. Writer/Director: Written and directed by Noah Hawley Cast Highlights: Richa Moorjani (Zaveri), Sandra Yi Sencindiver (Yutani), Amir Boutrous (Rahim), Karen Aldridge (Chibuzo), Michael Smiley (Shmuel), Jamie Bisping (Malachite), Andy Yu (Teng), Max Rinehart (Bronski), Enzo Cilenti (Petrovich), Tom Moya (Clem).

Out of 5 In Space, No One… Hears You in the Loving Embrace of a Facehugger Darryl: 4.15/5 Brian: 4.28/5 The Terminal List: Dark (Amazon Prime) Episode 3 – “What’s Past Is Prologue” Summary: Vahid and Cyrus Rahimi attend a conference on the Iranian nuclear agreement in Geneva, and later meet with Minister Yousef Saedi. Farooq, Landry, and another CIA officer, Ish Reinhart, join Haverford’s team. Danawi’s phone shows he received $5 million in cryptocurrency to deliver to Balaz Molnar, a nuclear physics professor in Budapest. Texts come through from another number identified as Thana Haddad. Farooq questions her and discovers she is Danawi’s estranged daughter, but can’t bring himself to follow orders to kill her. Varon agrees not to tell the others after he confesses that, as a teenager, his sisters were raped by Uday Hussein, but he later helped the Americans in eliminating him. Edwards and Perash bond, but he becomes more estranged from his wife stateside. Impersonating Danawi, Farooq meets with Molnar and purchases proof of concept for proprietary bearings he is selling to Iran, which will enable them to still enrich uranium with the smaller number of centrifuges mandated by the nuclear deal. A third-party team tail Farooq after the meeting until he is extracted by Landry, and one kills Reinhart. Edwards has Varon cut CCTV and guns the man down on the Budapest Metro, taking a photo for identification before being extracted himself. Writer & Director: Directed by Liz Friedlander, written by Naomi Iizuka and Max Adams. Cast Highlights: Taylor Kitsch (Ben Edwards), Tom Hopper (Raife Hastings), Chris Pratt (James Reece), Rona‑Lee Shimon (Eliza Perash), Dar Salim (Mo Farooq), Rashidz Tzarfati (Tal Varon), Robert Wisdom (Jed Haverford), among others. Air Date: Premiered August 27, 2025 alongside Episodes 1 & 2. Episode 4 – “The Sound of the Guns” Summary: Hastings is contacted by a former Selous Scouts associate of his father, who confirms Haverford manages a long-term asset in Tehran codenamed Shepherd. Minister Saedi thanks Cyrus for his clandestine work, but Vahid begins to question their actions of putting nuclear weapons in the hands of such men. The team relocates to Munich, discovering the third party is the nuclear proliferation Khalid Network, working to move the bearings into Iran before the nuclear deal is finalised. Haverford plans to intercept the convoy in Geneva and swap Molnar's bearings for fakes, rendering Iran's new facility useless. He assures a suspicious Hastings that Shepherd’s intel is legitimate. Edwards and Perash kiss whilst scouting a location. Varon secures the fake bearings from Mossad agent Mordechai Ofer. Hastings becomes concerned about collateral damage with the convoy ambush plan and Edwards’ change in attitude. Edwards argues their current posting allows them to take real action compared to serving under military red tape. Haverford kills Molnar. Impersonating Austrian Federal Police, the team attacks the Khalid Network convoy and obtains the bearings, but are met by a large team of shooters on exfil. Farooq is injured and extracted by Landry. The Israelis betray the team, hacking Haverford's phone and stealing the bearings after incapacitating Edwards. Writer & Director: Directed by Liz Friedlander, written by Kenny Sheard. Air Date: Dropped September 3, 2025.

Alien: Earth (FX/Hulu) Episode 3 – “Metamorphosis” Summary: Nibs questions Curly about why the hybrids are all named after Peter Pan characters and why Marcy gets to be Wendy. Kavalier orders the specimens be brought to Neverland Island for study, despite objections from Kirsh and Dame Sylvia. Morrow finds Smee and Slightly guarding the Xenomorph eggs and interrogates them, suspicious of their childlike behavior. He downloads the specimen data from the Maginot and plants a device on Slightly before escaping. Meanwhile, Wendy and Hermit fight the Xenomorph with a meat hook, and Wendy kills it, although both sustain serious injuries. Returning to the island, Hermit undergoes surgery, and the Sylvias tend to Wendy. Kavalier inspects the specimens until Kirsh removes him for his own protection. Atom Eins questions Smee and Slightly about their encounter with Morrow. Having escaped into New Siam, Morrow calls Yutani and insists on retrieving the specimens despite being ordered to return home.

Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Alien: Earth:12:30 Alien: Earth (FX/Hulu) Out of 10 When Your Child Downloads Feelings, and Your Pet Alien Downloads You Darryl: 6.8/10 Brian: 7.34/10 Episode 1 – “Neverland” Summary: In 2120, five companies control Earth and the colonized Solar System, including the recently founded Prodigy Corporation. The USCSS Maginot, a Weyland-Yutani C-class deep space research vessel, approaches Earth after a 65-year expedition to obtain extra-terrestrial specimens, among them facehuggers. On Earth, at Prodigy’s Neverland research island, a terminally ill child named Marcy Hermit becomes the first hybrid, having her consciousness transferred to an adult synthetic, and renames herself Wendy. Adjusting to her new body with the assistance of synthetic mentor Kirsh, Wendy oversees several other children who undergo the procedure. A malfunction compromises the Maginot’s navigation, placing it on a collision course with Earth. Some specimens get loose, and a grown Xenomorph kills most of the crew. It crashes into a tower in Prodigy City, New Siam, where Wendy’s human brother Joe Hermit works as a medic and corporate soldier. CEO Boy Kavalier asserts that Maginot’s contents now belong to Prodigy, and deploys Kirsh, Wendy, and the other hybrids to assist with search and rescue to test their enhanced capabilities. Security officer Morrow, who survived the crash in a reinforced panic room, moves to protect the cargo and detains two Prodigy soldiers, who are killed by a leech-like specimen. Wendy remarks to Kirsh that she wants to save her brother from death. Writer & Director: Crafted and helmed by series creator Noah Hawley. Cast: Sydney Chandler as Wendy, the first hybrid (a person who has their human consciousness transferred into a synthetic body) and Joe’s sister, formerly known as Marcy Florence Bensberg as Marcy, a terminally ill 11-year-old, and Wendy’s original human form Alex Lawther as Private Joseph D.

Critical reception: overwhelmingly positive—IGN praised its franchise integration, Vulture gave a perfect 5/5 stars, Collider rated it 9/10, TV Fanatic also 5/5. Episode 2 – “Mr. October” Summary: Boy tells his colleague, Dame Sylvia, that he formed the Hybrid project to compete with artificial intelligence, and has granted Wendy additional abilities as he wishes to create a person smarter than him. He declines Weyland-Yutani’s request to secure Maginot’s proprietary contents, warning any incursion on his territory will be considered a hostile act. Joe is chased by a Xenomorph and separated from his colleagues. It tracks him to the higher floors of the tower, killing another soldier and massacring an apartment of wealthy residents who refused to evacuate. He is saved by Morrow, who tasers him and the Xenomorph, but it regains consciousness and escapes after killing numerous other soldiers, sparing Morrow. Arriving in Prodigy City, Hybrids Tootles, Smee, Nibs, and Curly encounter two other dangerous extraterrestrial specimens. Wendy locates her brother with Slightly, a fellow Hybrid, but Joe does not recognize her. Slightly reveals her true identity to a shocked Joe, who believed Wendy/Marcy had died. The three encounter several Xenomorph eggs and are ordered by Kirsh to contain them until a HazMat team arrives. Joe is dragged away by the Xenomorph, and Wendy chases after.

To pay for his daughter Vienna's ballet school in Paris, he returns to pro golf—and chaos ensues. The film leans hard into callbacks, celebrity cameos, and legacy sequel nostalgia.  Director: Kyle Newacheck Writers: Tim Herlihy & Adam Sandler  Cast: Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin Ben Stiller as Hal L. (in sobriety group leadership) Bad Bunny as Happy's new caddy Benny Safdie as golf mogul Frank Manatee Additional Cast: Sunny Sandler (Vienna), Sadie Sandler, Travis Kelce, Margaret Qualley, John Daly, Rory McIlroy, Eminem (cameos), and more sport & music legends   Production Notes: Produced by Happy Madison and STX Films, filmed in North Jersey over fall 2024; directed by Newacheck with music by Rupert Gregson-Williams. The production is built around cameo-heavy nostalgia and real-world athletes.  Budget: Estimated at $30 million, modest compared to legacy sequel standards.  Distribution: Released globally via Netflix on July 25, 2025.  Reception: Critics remain divided—mixed reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (65%) and Popcornmeter (~70%). Praise comes for Sandler's commitment and cameo spectacle; criticism centers on overreliance on callbacks, tonally uneven storytelling (including a shocking death), and lazy legacy sequel tropes. Some outlets called it a “cinematic disaster,” while others saw it as funny and heartfelt escapism.  Rating out of 10 Cameo Filled Nostalgic Rounds of Maxi Golf Darryl: 2/10 Brian: 7.5/10 Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Summary Set in a retro‑futuristic 1960s alternate universe (Earth‑828), Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm are already established heroes expecting their first child. When cosmic threats like Galactus and Silver Surfer emerge, the team must band together to save the world—and their family dynamic. Director: Matt Shakman Writers: Josh Friedman, Eric Pearson, Jeff Kaplan, Ian Springer; story contributions by Kat Wood  Cast: Pedro Pascal (Mister Fantastic) Vanessa Kirby (Invisible Woman) Joseph Quinn (Human Torch) Ebon Moss‑Bachrach (The Thing) Julia Garner (Silver Surfer) Ralph Ineson (Galactus) Paul Walter Hauser (Mole Man/Harvey Elder) John Malkovich as Red Ghost (cameo)  Production Notes: Filmed at Pinewood Studios in the UK with shoots in Derbyshire Dales and Oviedo; styled with practical miniatures, retro‑futuristic set design reminiscent of Jack Kirby comics; score by Michael Giacchino recorded at Abbey Road Studios; executive production overseen by Kevin Feige; post‑credits nod to late producer Jamie Christopher and director's mother Inez Shakman in homage scenes  Budget: Estimated over $200 million  Box Office (Opening Weekend): Domestic 3‑day: $117.6–118M across 4,125 theaters (including ~$57M previews) International: $100M from 52 territories Global debut: ~$218M   Reception & Context: Critical consensus: ~88% on Rotten Tomatoes; CinemaScore “A‑” reflects strong audience response. Reviews praise cast chemistry, emotional grounding, and visual style—though tone is more serious than comic-minded critics expected. Some reviewers note a pacing lull and lack of overt humor from a director known for lighter work. Industry analysts call this the first confirmed MCU blockbuster of 2025—ushering in Phase 6 with confidence and momentum after previous underperformers.

Looks Like Antarctica Wasn’t the Only Place Superman Crashed This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are talking about the Super(Meh) Opening Weekend Box Office, the last 3 episodes of Murderbot season 1, and they review F1. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Superman Box Office: 7:17 Murderbot: 17:00 F1: 35:55 Superman (2025) Box Office Opening weekend performance: Domestic 3‑day sitting at ~$100–130 million Worldwide debut crossed $200 million Forecasts suggest long‑term haul could reach $1 billion if word‑of‑mouth holds Overall sentiment: Some critics and audiences praised Corenswet's optimistic Superman, slick humor, and DC's tonal reset. Issues cite an overcrowded plot and CGI-heavy final act that didn't fully capitalize on its potential. Murderbot (AppleTV+) Episodes Covered: 8 “Foreign Object”, 9 “All Systems Red”, 10 The Perimeter” Highlights: Ep 8: Secrets revealed—Murderbot admits a shadowy past weaponizing its crew's memories Summary: Murderbot accompanies the PresAux team back to the habitat. The recording of the security cameras shows that in their absence, more superior SecUnits and a representative of the hostile third party—now identified as GrayCris—visited the habitat and left an invitation to meet at a rendezvous point to negotiate terms for their survival. After a security check, the PresAux team take Gurathin to the medical bay. While Bharadwaj performs surgery on Gurathin’s leg, Murderbot plugs into his data port to turn off his sense of pain. The connection allows Gurathin to find out what it calls itself, and that the SecUnit was involved in the deaths of 57 clients, which Gurathin reveals to the group and condemns Murderbot for. Murderbot admits it’s not sure if it killed the clients or not and agrees with Gurathin’s assessment that it could be defective and dangerous, then it leaves the group to go out on its own. The PresAux team concludes that GrayCris is illegally pursuing the alien remnants and that they will liquidate them once they locate their whereabouts. After mulling over whether to abandon or betray its clients, Murderbot comes back and announces that it has a plan. Ep 9: High-stakes deception! Murderbot fakes betrayal to take down GrayCris agents and saves Dr. Mensah in a cliffside showdown Summary: Murderbot puts a dangerous plan into motion, pretending to betray the PresAux team in order to leave the planet. While the team expresses doubts and tension rises, Murderbot keeps the true plan hidden: to have Gurathin hack into GrayCris’s HubSystem using a drone as a transponder and launch their emergency beacon. The ruse includes offering to help GrayCris capture the Preservation team in exchange for being listed as destroyed inventory. Murderbot stalls the enemy using awkward small talk and quotes from Sanctuary Moon, while the PresAux team manages the remote connection. As the plan begins to succeed, GrayCris prepares to torture Murderbot for the information they seek. Mensah intervenes and is caught in the crossfire. In the end, Murderbot shields her from the beacon’s launch blast, which kills the GrayCris team, nearly sacrificing itself. Before Murderbot’s systems fail, it quietly admits to itself that these humans have become its clients not just by contract, but by choice. Ep 10 (Finale): An emotional farewell—post-rescue reprogramming, autonomy restored, and Murderbot walks away into an uncertain future Summary: As Murderbot’s systems reboot, Corporation Rim technicians delete its memory and install a new governor module. At the same time, the PresAux team negotiates with company representatives to find the SecUnit. They offer to buy it and threaten with a lawsuit, but the company refuses, telling them that its memory has been wiped anyway. So Pin-Lee files an injunction to seize Murderbot for evidentiary reasons, while Gurathin manages to retrieve the data that was downloaded during the memory wipe. He locates Murderbot’s personality files by searching Sanctuary Moon episodes. The team saves Murderbot from being destroyed, and Gurathin uploads its personality. It recognises that without its armour it looks like an augmented human. The team invites Murderbot to live as a free agent on their home planet. That night, Murderbot attempts to sneak away but is intercepted by Gurathin, who tries to make it feel welcome. Murderbot insists that it needs to check the perimeter. When Gurathin relents, Murderbot thanks him. Posing as a servant bot, it boards a transport ship that departs as Mensah awakens and realises that it has left.

This is Truly a Soy Latte Drinking Superman This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are joined by the one and only Cousin Kenny to talk about the 2025 DC Studios film Superman: Legacy. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Superman: 5:35 Superman: Legacy (2025) Summary James Gunn reboots the Man of Steel with David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent—not an origin story, but a story of an established hero dealing with political intrigue, social media hate campaigns, and survival in a fractured world. The film blends humor and cosmic stakes as Superman relies on allies like Krypto, the Justice Gang (Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, Mr. Terrific, and Metamorpho), and Lois Lane to stop Lex Luthor's manipulative war plot.

Budget & Box Office Projections (as of July 9, 2025): Budget approx. $225 million Opening weekend projections vary from $100M–$130M domestic to $200M+ worldwide, with some forecasts topping $1 billion in total gross if word-of-mouth holds up. Reactions: Critics love its comic-book tone, strong lead performance, and refreshing humor—Rotten Tomatoes sits around 86–91%, calling it “one of DC's best since Batman '89.” Common criticisms include overstuffed plot, chaotic visuals in the final act, and a tone that may alienate some legacy fans.

We get deep on what it's like touring middle America as out gay men, how queer joy thrives in unexpected places, and how their show subverts expectations by showcasing authentic LGBTQ+ stories outside of the coasts. Plus, we play “Wish You Were Queer,” our game where guests decide which celebs need to be on our team. Expect: naked beaches, foot pic scandals, favorite gay cities, chicken chases, Trixie Mattel cameos, and some jaw-dropping confessions from behind the scenes.

In the brewing and distilling industries there is a mutual appreciation of the craftsmanship, skill and process involved in creating these fantastic liquids. And today's guest, having worked and studied in both fields, is well placed to do just that. Earlier this month Glen Scotia, part of Loch Lomond Distillery, unveiled Glen Scotia 50 Year Old. Glen Scotia Elements of Campbeltown Release Number One: Air is described as an exceptional 50-year-old single malt which marks a pivotal moment in the distillery's history, as its oldest ever release.And this prestigious release follows on from the launch of Loch Lomond Whiskies 50-year-old single malt. These esteemed liquids have seen the light of day thanks to the stewardship of Michael Henry, a reputed distiller who has a background in both brewing and distilling. A whisky five decades in the making, Loch Lomond 50 Year Old is drawn from Loch Lomond Distillery's oldest reserves and is exclusively limited to 100 individually-numbered bottles worldwide.  Distilled in 1973 in the distillery's unique straight neck pot stills, it uses 100% unpeated malted barley. It was then aged in a combination of refilled American oak casks, first fill bourbon casks and Oloroso sherry hogsheads. The maturation process was carefully managed by Loch Lomond Whiskies' master blender, Michael Henry, who joined Loch Lomond Distillery in 2007. And the distillery's oldest and rarest whisky casks remain exclusively under his personal care.In this episode, Michael talks us through in his involvement in this special project, he takes us through his career to-date and also shares what keeps him driven and inspired.

Episode 475 – Alien Species of Sci-Fi: The Most Creative Extraterrestrials

The Infamous Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later May 14, 2025


From Xenomorphs to ETs: Which Alien Species is the Best? This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl boldly go into the sci-fi vault to debate the most creative alien species in the galaxy. Think Na'vi spirituality meets Xenomorph acid vomit. From hive-minded cybernetic zombies to fire-based art snobs, it's time to crown the weirdest, wildest, most wonderful extraterrestrials in fiction. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Alien, Mine: Alien Showdown… Who’s the Best? Darryl Heptapods (from Arrival) Physical Traits – Appearance: Heptapods are seven-limbed (hence the name “hepta-” meaning seven) creatures with a large, oval-shaped head and a body that appears to be semi-transparent2. – Eyes: They have thousands of small, dime-sized eyes in clusters, which are actually patches of photosensitive skin. – Sensory Perception: They use sophisticated sonar to perceive their environment, allowing them to detect even minute details. Culture – Non-linear Perception of Time: Heptapods experience time non-linearly, meaning they perceive past, present, and future simultaneously. This is reflected in their language and behavior3. – Patience and Long-term Thinking: Their non-linear perception of time gives them a unique perspective on patience and long-term consequences. They are willing to wait for humans to understand their language and purpose4. – Purpose of Arrival: They arrive on Earth to share their language, Heptapod B, which they believe will help humanity understand their non-linear perception of time and potentially aid them in the future. Language – Heptapod A: This is their spoken language, which sounds very organic and is designed to be heard rather than spoken. – Heptapod B: This is their written language, consisting of circular logograms that represent entire concepts or sentences rather than individual words. The meaning of these logograms depends on the tendrils and splotches branching out from their circular rings2. – Impact on Humans: Learning Heptapod B alters the human perception of time, allowing them to experience events out of sequence, similar to how Heptapods perceive time. MorningLightMountain (Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton) Physical Traits: – Prime Bodies: MorningLightMountain’s consciousness inhabits billions of distinct Prime bodies. These bodies are divided into two types: motiles and immotiles1. – Motiles: Motiles can see and move but are relatively unintelligent on their own. – Immotiles: Immotiles are blind and immobile but highly intelligent. They can breed motiles, and four motiles can merge to form a new immotile1. – Wormhole Technology: MorningLightMountain possesses wormhole technology, allowing its bodies to communicate over arbitrarily large distances. Mental Traits: – Hive Mind: MorningLightMountain operates as a hive mind, with a single united consciousness spread across billions of bodies. – Xenophobic and Expansionist: The Primes, including MorningLightMountain, are highly xenophobic and expansionist, seeking to subsume or destroy other species. – Highly Intelligent: Immotiles can link to each other for greater processing power, making MorningLightMountain one of the most powerful Primes. Linguistic Traits: – Non-Verbal Communication: MorningLightMountain primarily communicates non-verbally through its network of bodies. – Radio Transmitters: Primes use implanted radio transmitters to stay wirelessly connected, allowing for long-range communication. Saga of the Seven Suns series (Kevin J Anderson) Hydrogues – Physical Traits: Elemental beings composed of water and gas, often appearing as massive, swirling masses of liquid and vapor. – Culture: Highly territorial and aggressive, especially when their habitats are threatened. They have a deep connection to water and gas. – Language: Communicate through complex patterns of vibrations and waves. Faeros – Physical Traits: Elemental beings associated with fire and light, emitting a warm glow and capable of producing flames. – Culture: Passionate and energetic, valuing creativity and expression. They are often involved in artistic and spiritual pursuits. – Language: Communicate through a combination of spoken language and visual symbols, using their fiery abilities to create intricate patterns and displays. Borg Physical Traits: – Cybernetic Enhancements: The Borg are a collective of various species that have been assimilated and augmented with cybernetic implants. This results in a mix of biological and mechanical features. – Pale Skin: Their skin tends to be pale or grayish due to the integration of technology and loss of individuality. – Mechanical Limbs and Eyes: Many Borg drones have mechanical limbs and/or eyes, often replacing their original biological parts with more efficient cybernetic versions. Culture: – Collective Consciousness: The Borg operate as a hive mind, known as the Collective. Individuality is suppressed, and all drones are connected through a central consciousness. – Assimilation: The primary goal of the Borg is to assimilate other species to enhance their own collective knowledge and capabilities. This is often done forcibly, with the mantra “Resistance is futile.” – Efficient and Methodical: The Borg are highly efficient and methodical in their actions, driven by their collective purpose of achieving perfection. Language: – Communal Communication: The Borg communicate internally through their collective consciousness, sharing thoughts and information instantaneously. – Distinctive Speech Patterns: When speaking externally, the Borg often use a collective “we” to represent their hive mind and have a monotone, emotionless speech pattern. Changelings (Founders) Physical Traits: – Shapeshifters: Changelings are highly advanced shapeshifters capable of assuming any form, from humanoid figures to inanimate objects. – Gelatinous State: In their natural form, Changelings exist as a gelatinous mass, which they revert to when at rest or regenerating. – Golden Hue: Their gelatinous form has a distinctive golden hue. Culture: – Great Link: The Changelings share a deep connection through the Great Link, a shared state where they merge together in their natural form, exchanging thoughts and experiences. – Isolation and Control: Historically, Changelings have sought to isolate themselves from solids (non-shapeshifting species) and control them to protect themselves from persecution and harm. – Founders of the Dominion: Changelings are the ruling species of the Dominion, a powerful political and military alliance in the Gamma Quadrant. They employ the Vorta and Jem’Hadar as their loyal servants to enforce their will. Language: – Universal Communication: Changelings typically communicate in the languages of the species they interact with. Their ability to shapeshift allows them to perfectly mimic speech. – Telepathic Connection: Within the Great Link, communication is telepathic and intuitive, allowing for an exchange of complex ideas and emotions without words. Na’vi (James Cameron Avatar movies) Physical Traits – Height and Build: The Na’vi are tall, standing about 10 feet (3 meters) in height, and have a slender, graceful build. – Blue Skin: They have blue skin with bioluminescent patterns that glow in the dark, helping them blend into their environment. – Four-Fingered Hands: Unlike humans, the Na’vi have four fingers on each hand and four toes on each foot. – Cat-like Features: They have large, expressive, golden eyes, pointed ears, and tails, giving them a feline appearance. – Braid with Neural Queue: Each Na’vi has a long braid called a “tswin,” which contains a neural queue that allows them to connect with other creatures and the environment on Pandora. Culture – Deep Connection with Nature: The Na’vi live in harmony with the natural world of Pandora. They have a deep spiritual connection with the flora, fauna, and the planet itself. – Clans and Tribes: The Na’vi are organized into various clans and tribes, each with its own customs and traditions. The Omaticaya clan, for example, resides in the Hometree. – Eywa: The Na’vi worship Eywa, the Great Mother, a deity representing the interconnectedness of all life on Pandora. They believe that Eywa maintains the balance of life. – Rites of Passage: Na’vi culture includes several rites of passage, such as the bonding with a direhorse (pa’li) and a mountain banshee (ikran), which signify one’s transition into adulthood. – Hunting and Gathering: The Na’vi are skilled hunters and gatherers, relying on their environment for sustenance while respecting the creatures they hunt. Language – Na’vi Language: The Na’vi have their own language, developed specifically for the film by linguist Dr. Paul Frommer. It is a fully functional language with its own grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. – Tsaheylu: The neural bond, called “tsaheylu,” allows the Na’vi to connect with other creatures and their environment. This connection is a form of communication that transcends spoken language. Xenomorphs (Alien Franchise) Physical Traits: – Exoskeleton: Xenomorphs have a biomechanical, black exoskeleton that provides them with great durability and a fearsome appearance. – Elongated Skull: They possess an elongated, ridged skull with a lack of visible eyes, giving them a terrifying, eyeless visage. – Inner Jaws: Equipped with a secondary, inner jaw that can extend from their mouths for lethal attacks. – Tail: Their long, muscular tails end in a sharp blade, which they use for both balance and as a weapon. – Acidic Blood: Their blood is highly acidic, capable of burning through metal and other materials. Culture: – Hive Structure: Xenomorphs have a hive-based social structure, with a Queen at the center, responsible for laying eggs and maintaining the population. – Instinct-Driven: They operate primarily on instinct, driven by a need to propagate their species. This includes capturing hosts for their Facehuggers to implant embryos. – Parasitic Life Cycle: Their life cycle involves multiple stages: Egg, Facehugger, Chestburster, and Adult. The Facehugger attaches to a host, implanting an embryo that later emerges violently from the host’s chest as a Chestburster. – Adaptive and Versatile: They can adapt to different environments and hosts, resulting in various Xenomorph types with specific traits influenced by their host species. Language: – Non-Verbal Communication: Xenomorphs communicate non-verbally through body language, pheromones, and hisses or screeches. Their interactions are primarily based on their hive hierarchy and instinctual behaviors. Species 8472 (Undine) — Honorable Mention Physical Traits: – Tripedal and Non-Humanoid: Species 8472, also known as Undine, are tripedal beings with a non-humanoid appearance. – Fluidic Space Origin: They originate from a dimension called fluidic space, which is accessible through quantum singularities. – Biological Technology: Their highly developed biology and organic technology make them tactically superior to the Borg. Culture: – War with the Borg: Species 8472 engaged in a war with the Borg after the Borg invaded their realm of fluidic space. They proved immune to assimilation and launched a counter-invasion of the galaxy2. – Genocidal Intentions: They have a genocidal intent towards other species, considering them a threat. – Negotiations with the Federation: Captain Kathryn Janeway of the USS Voyager negotiated peace with Species 8472, using a weapon developed from Borg nanoprobes to force them to retreat. Language: – Telepathic Communication: Species 8472 communicate telepathically, using their telepathic abilities to convey thoughts and intentions. – Unknown Name: Their name for themselves is unknown, as they are referred to by their Borg designation. Brian Farscape Luxans – Tall, warrior-like humanoids with a warrior code of honor. – Recognizable by their facial tendrils and thick-skinned appearance. – Can heal themselves through a process called “battlefield transfusion.” – Notable Character: Ka D'Argo – A fierce but noble warrior with a tragic past.

Scarrans – Reptilian, highly aggressive, and among the most physically powerful species. – Possess natural heat-based abilities, allowing them to intimidate or harm opponents. – Scarrans view themselves as the superior species and often engage in genetic experimentation. – Notable Character: Emperor Staleek – A ruthless leader of the Scarran Empire. Pilots – Large, multi-limbed creatures that are biologically bonded to Leviathans (living ships). – They have a deep connection with their Leviathan and can control their functions. – Notable Character: Pilot – The pilot of Moya, who communicates with the crew and the ship.

Star Wars (Expanded Universe) Yuuzhan Vong Who Are the Yuuzhan Vong? The Yuuzhan Vong are an extragalactic warrior species who invaded the Star Wars galaxy, triggering the Yuuzhan Vong War (25–29 ABY). Unlike most species in Star Wars, they: – Are immune to the Force – Jedi cannot sense them, and their presence in the galaxy caused major upheaval in the Force itself. – Use only organic technology – They abhor droids and mechanical technology, instead using genetically engineered living creatures as weapons, ships, and tools. – Are deeply religious and fanatical – They follow a strict caste system and worship pain as a path to enlightenment. Biology & Appearance – Humanoid, but with ritualistic scarring and tattooing that marks their status in society. – They believe in self-mutilation and pain as a form of religious devotion. – Have a higher pain tolerance than most species. – They view cybernetics and machines as heretical and replace body parts with living biotechnological organisms. Society & Culture The Yuuzhan Vong are organized into a rigid caste system: – The Supreme Overlord – The absolute ruler of their species. – Notable Character: Supreme Overlord Shimrra, who led the invasion of the galaxy. – The Warrior Caste – Devoted soldiers who follow a strict code of honor. – The Priest Caste – Religious leaders who interpret the will of the gods. – The Shaper Caste – Scientists responsible for bioengineering their weapons and technology. – The Intendant Caste – Bureaucrats and administrators. – The Worker Caste – The lowest rank, responsible for labor. Their entire culture revolves around pain, sacrifice, and religious zeal, believing that their gods command them to conquer and purify the galaxy. Yuuzhan Vong Technology (All Organic) – Living Starships (Coralskippers & Worldships) – Instead of metal ships, they use bio-engineered living vessels. – Vonduun Crab Armor – Grown, not manufactured, and is resistant to lightsabers. – Amphistaffs – Living snake-like weapons that function as both swords and whips. – Dovin Basals – Creatures that create miniature black holes to absorb attacks (even deflecting turbolaser fire). – Yorik Coral – Used to construct buildings, ships, and even restrain captives. The Yuuzhan Vong War (25–29 ABY) – The Yuuzhan Vong invaded the New Republic, launching a brutal war. – They captured and terraformed many worlds, including turning Coruscant into a massive Yuuzhan Vong ecosystem. – The Jedi, New Republic, and remnants of the Empire had to unite to fight them. – The war ended when Supreme Overlord Shimrra was killed, and his second-in-command, Onimi, was revealed as the real mastermind. – After their defeat, the surviving Yuuzhan Vong were relocated to Zonama Sekot, a living planet. Why Are They So Unique? – They stand out from all other Star Wars villains because they don't use the Force and their biology/technology is completely different from the rest of the galaxy. – They pushed the Jedi to their limits—without the ability to sense them in the Force, traditional Jedi tactics were ineffective. – Their brutality and disregard for machines made them unlike the Sith, the Empire, or any other major villains in Star Wars. Legacy in Star Wars While the Yuuzhan Vong were a major part of Legends, they have not appeared in the Disney canon yet. However, The Clone Wars animated series almost introduced them in a scrapped episode. Falling Skies Espheni (Overlords) – The main antagonists for most of the series. – An advanced, insectoid-like species with a strict hierarchical society. – Possess telepathic abilities and are highly intelligent strategists. – Use a combination of biotechnology and mechanical technology for warfare. – Consider humans an inferior species and attempt to enslave them. – They have an imperialistic nature, having conquered multiple planets before Earth. Notable Espheni: – The Espheni Overlords – Tall, slender, and powerful commanders of the invasion. – The Espheni Queen – The true leader of the invasion, revealed in the final season. Skitters (Arachnids) – Multi-limbed, insectoid creatures used as foot soldiers by the Espheni. – Originally another enslaved species, controlled through neural harnesses attached to their spines. – Many Skitters are loyal to the Espheni, but a rebel faction exists. – Known for high mobility, leaping abilities, and brutal combat skills. Notable Skitters: – Red-Eye – A rebel Skitter who aids the human resistance. – Harnessed Children – Human children forcibly enslaved by the Espheni using a similar mind-controlling harness. The Harnessed – Human (mainly children) captives of the Espheni, controlled through a biomechanical harness attached to their spines. – The harness allows the Espheni to control their minds and enhance their physical abilities. – Over time, harnessed children begin to transform into Skitters themselves. – Ben Mason, the son of protagonist Tom Mason, is partially harnessed but later freed. The Volm – A technologically advanced, humanoid alien species that arrives in Season 3 to help humanity. – They have been at war with the Espheni for generations and seek to liberate Earth. – Use energy-based weapons and powerful war machines. – While allied with humans, their leader, Cochise, warns that they have their own agenda. Notable Volm: – Cochise – The main Volm character, who forms a bond with the humans and helps them fight the Espheni. The Dornia (The Ancient Enemy) – Introduced late in the series as a mysterious aquatic species. – The original victims of the Espheni, nearly wiped out in the past. – Offer limited aid to the human resistance but provide key knowledge for defeating the Espheni Queen. – Their advanced biology allows them to manipulate water-based environments. Final Thoughts – The Espheni are classic conquerors, much like the Yuuzhan Vong (Star Wars) or Scarrans (Farscape), but with an added layer of biotechnology. – The Skitters are tragic figures, originally a peaceful species enslaved by the Espheni. – The Volm act as reluctant saviors, assisting humanity while maintaining their own goals. – The show played with themes of resistance, survival, and moral ambiguity, especially when it came to dealing with harnessed humans.

Episode 474 – 100 Men vs. a Gorilla

Why do Men prefer to be alone with a Gorilla? This week on The Infamous Podcast, Brian and Darryl tackle one of the internet's dumbest (and somehow most passionate) debates: 100 Men vs. a Gorilla. Could a man take a gorilla in a fair fight? No. Could 100? Probably not. Will we talk about it anyway? Absolutely. Then, it's time for some mini-reviews: Brian breaks down The Accountant 2—does Ben Affleck still bring the spreadsheet-smashing heat? While, Darryl reviews Thunderbolts**—a.k.a. the New Avengers, B-Team edition. Is Marvel back, or is it still stuck in its own multiversal funk? Episode Index Intro: 0:07 The New Avengers: 5:26 The Accountant 2: 15:15 100 Men vs. a Gorilla: 27:37 Mini-Review: Thunderbolts* (Darryl) – “It's not the Avengers you wanted, it's the team we got.” Out of 10 Wow this is what Summer School Sports Teams Look Like Darryl: 6.5/10 Summary Thunderbolts* is Marvel's latest attempt at a team-up movie where the B-team does C-tier missions with D-level emotional development. It's like The Avengers if everyone needed therapy, a second chance, and a better script. Think Suicide Squad, but with less attitude and more MCU baggage. Mini-Review: The Accountant 2 (Brian) – “Autism, action, and accounting: the triple-A blockbuster?” Out of 10 Ben Affleck When Full Simple Jack, You Never Go Full Simple Jack Brian: 5.75/10 Summary The Accountant 2 sees Ben Affleck back as the world's most dangerous math nerd—solving problems with spreadsheets and suppressed submachine guns. It's part action thriller, part tax season fever dream. Somehow, it's even more emotionally reserved than the IRS, but hey—at least the body count balances out. 100 Men vs. a Gorilla (our 100 men from fact, fiction, and the great beyond) Brian and Darryl take on the internet's dumbest debate live—by drafting their personal squad of 100 men to go toe-to-toe with one gorilla. No prep. No weapons. Just questionable logic, weird strategy, and vibes. Expect cameos from history, pop culture, and possibly professional wrestlers. Will it help? Absolutely not. But it'll be hilarious. The Men 1. Simon Phoenix 2. Contact Us The Infamous Podcast can be found wherever podcasts are found on the Interwebs, feel free to subscribe and follow along on social media.

One of these stories had a resurrection that actually worked… This week on The Infamous Podcast, Brian and Darryl close the chapter on Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, and it's… a choice. Then they dig into Amazon's new supernatural bounty hunter series The Bondsman, which might just be the weirdest thing Prime Video has greenlit this month (and that's saying something). Darryl delivers a mini-review of The King of Kings—a cinematic sermon or box office blunder? Meanwhile, Brian charges in with a tactical breakdown of Warfare, where the explosions were loud and the film was in-ten-city-in-ten-cities. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 The King of Kings Mini-Review: 6:00 Warfare Mini-Review: 12:08 Daredevil: Born Again Finale: 21:50 The Bondsman Season 1: 36:11 Mini-Review: The King of Kings (2025) – Rating 8/10 Summary Directed by Seong-ho Jang, this animated film features Charles Dickens (voiced by Kenneth Branagh) narrating the life of Jesus to his son Walter, who imagines himself witnessing biblical events. The film combines a unique framing device with a faithful retelling of the Gospels, featuring voice talents like Oscar Isaac as Jesus and Mark Hamill as King Herod. It's a heartfelt, family-friendly portrayal that resonates with audiences of all ages.  Mini-Review: Warfare (2025) – Rating 6.75/10 Summary Co-directed by Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland, “Warfare” offers a harrowing, real-time depiction of a Navy SEAL mission gone awry in Ramadi, Iraq. Based on Mendoza's own experiences, the film immerses viewers in the chaos of combat, highlighting the psychological toll on soldiers. With a strong ensemble cast and a commitment to authenticity, it's a visceral exploration of modern warfare's realities. Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+) Out of 5 Broken Batons Darryl: 2.75/5 Brian: 3.2/5 Season 1 Out of 10 Conflicted Catholics in Spandex Darryl: 6.25/10 Brian: 6.9/10 Summary In the finale titled “Straight to Hell,” Matt Murdock faces devastating losses: Foggy Nelson is murdered by Bullseye under Vanessa Fisk's orders, and Kingpin seizes control of New York, imposing martial law. Despite the chaos, Matt, with allies like Karen Page and the Punisher, begins to form a resistance, setting the stage for a darker, more intense Season 2.  The Bondsman – Season 1 (Prime) Out of 10 Deals with the Devil Darryl: 7.5/10 Brian: 7.85/10 Summary The Bondsman is a supernatural western-action series from Amazon Prime that blends grit, grief, and a touch of hellfire. It follows Hub Halloran (played by Kevin Bacon), a grizzled and recently deceased bounty hunter who gets a second shot at redemption — but with a catch: he's brought back to life by the Devil himself to track down demons who've escaped Hell. Armed with his cowboy instincts, a sarcastic streak, and a growing sense of purpose, Hub rides across dusty towns and shadowy landscapes hunting hellspawn, questioning whether this is punishment, penance… or something more cosmic. Along the way, he reconnects with estranged family, forms an unlikely bond with a demon-turned-sidekick named Midge, and uncovers a deeper plot that could tear open the gates of Hell permanently. The tone walks a line between Justified and Supernatural, with bursts of dark humor, philosophical musings, and buckets of demon-slaying chaos. Bacon brings swagger and weariness in equal measure, anchoring a surprisingly emotional core in a show that never takes itself too seriously — until it suddenly does. Episode 1: “Hell to Pay” Bounty hunter Hub Halloran is murdered and resurrected by the Devil to hunt escaped demons, marking the start of his supernatural journey. Episode 2: “Dead Man's Debt” Hub captures an arsonist named Tater, uncovering a larger demonic plot. Episode 3: “Family Ties” Hub reconnects with his estranged family, seeking assistance in his mission. Episode 4: “Crossroads” A demon threatens a local community, forcing Hub to make a moral choice. Episode 5: “The Devil's Due” Hub confronts the consequences of his past actions as a bounty hunter. Episode 6: “Revelations” Hub uncovers a deeper conspiracy involving escaped demons and seeks help from Midge. Episode 7: “Pyralis” Hub and Midge attempt to prevent an apocalyptic event orchestrated by a powerful demon. Episode 8: “Lilith” Hub confronts his greatest sin and faces a formidable demonic adversary, seeking redemption.

Kim reports to Fisk, who is angry that Daredevil has returned, that the primary suspect for Muse is a troubled young man named Bastian Cooper. Luca asks Vanessa to return to her criminal activities behind Fisk’s back. In a session with Glenn, Bastian thanks her for helping him to embrace his true identity. She realizes he is Muse and Bastian knocks her unconscious. Murdock and the AVTF separately find paintings of Glenn in Muse’s lair and go to save her. As Daredevil, Murdock arrives at Glenn’s office first and rescues her. As the AVTF prepares to enter, Glenn fatally shoots Muse before fainting. Murdock stabilizes her before the AVTF arrives. Fisk gives credit for stopping Muse to the AVTF and publicly declares them to be heroes. Blake threatens BB into removing eyewitness mentions of Daredevil’s involvement in the incident from her blog.

Dex later kills his doctor and a guard before escaping prison. At the ball, Fisk privately blackmails Duquesne—who is the sword-wielding vigilante Swordsman—and other socialites into supporting his port project. Gallo speaks against Powell’s torture of an infiltrating reporter. BB, who is aware of Fisk’s involvement in her uncle Ben Urich’s murder, asks Gallo to help bring down Fisk and the AVTF through whatever way possivle. Murdock deduces that Vanessa hired Dex to kill Nelson and confronts her. As Fisk starts to tell Glenn that Murdock is Daredevil, Dex arrives and shoots at Fisk.

When Your Movie Trailer is a Lie 101 This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are breaking down the disappointing box office performance of Snow Brown, talking about Cody vs. Cena, reviewing the last two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again, share a very disappointed review for A Working Man, and then it’s on to the Reacher Season 3 finale. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Snow Brown Box Office: Cena vs. Cody: Daredevil: A Working Man: Reacher: Snow Brown Box Office As of March 30, 2025, Snow White has accumulated $66.9 million in the United States and Canada, with an additional $75.8 million from international markets, totaling approximately $142.8 million worldwide. Given the film's substantial production and marketing budget, industry analysts suggest it would need to gross around $500 million globally to break even, indicating potential financial losses for Disney. John Cena and Cody Rhodes Cook on the Road to Wrestlemania On Monday Night Raw at London's O2 Arena, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and John Cena engaged in a heated confrontation ahead of their WrestleMania 41 main event. The segment began with Cena addressing the audience, only to be interrupted by Rhodes, who challenged Cena's recent criticisms. The exchange quickly escalated, with both men delivering personal and intense verbal attacks. Cena accused Rhodes of being a “sociopathic nepo baby” with an inflated ego, referencing his neck tattoo and past gimmicks. Rhodes countered by questioning Cena's authenticity and motivations, suggesting that the fans chose him, whereas Cena was selected by a now-absent figure in WWE management. The confrontation culminated physically when Cena attempted a cheap shot, but Rhodes countered, delivering his signature “Cross Rhodes” maneuver, leaving Cena laid out in the ring. This intense segment has significantly amplified anticipation for their upcoming clash at WrestleMania 41. Daredevil: Born Again (Disney Plus) Episode 5: “With Interest” Out of 5 Please Don’t Remind Us Darryl: 3/5 Brian: 4.03/5 Director: Jeffrey Nachmanoff Writer: Grainne Godfree Air Date: March 25, 2025 Summary: Matt Murdock finds himself entangled in a bank robbery alongside Yusuf Khan, father of Ms. Marvel. While some viewers appreciated the lighter, standalone nature of the episode, others felt it was a filler that didn't advance the main plot. The inclusion of Yusuf Khan was seen by some as a fun MCU connection, while others viewed it as forced. Overall, the episode received mixed reactions, with some enjoying the change of pace and others longing for more substantial narrative progression. Episode 6: “Excessive Force” Out of 5 Dueling Fight Scenes Darryl: 4/5 Brian: 4.13/5 Director: David Boyd Writer: Thomas Wong Air Date: March 25, 2025 Summary: Matt Murdock finally decides that playing dress-up in red spandex is the best way to tackle New York's latest menace—a serial killer named Muse who thinks painting with blood is avant-garde. Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk, ever the multitasker, juggles his mayoral duties with forming a secret police squad of “bad apples” to combat vigilantes, because nothing says “law and order” like unchecked brutality. The episode oscillates between Daredevil's gritty showdown with Muse and Fisk's personal therapy session, which involves beating a man senseless in a prison cell. It's a heartwarming tale of two men embracing their true selves: one through morally ambiguous fisticuffs, the other through homicidal rage. Critics have noted that this return to form brings back the “nastiness and grit” reminiscent of the pre-Disney+ days. Overall, it's a delightful reminder that in the Marvel universe, personal growth often involves a healthy dose of violence. A Working Man (2025) Out of 10 Could There Be Any More Temu Batman Villains in One Movie Darryl: 4.25/10 Brian: 4/5 Summary “A Working Man” is a 2025 action thriller directed by David Ayer and co-written by Ayer and Sylvester Stallone. The film follows Levon Cade, portrayed by Jason Statham, a former black ops operative who has left his violent past behind to work in construction and care for his daughter. His attempt at a peaceful life is shattered when his boss's teenage daughter is kidnapped by human traffickers, compelling Levon to employ his lethal skills to rescue her. Writer: Sylvester Stallone, David Ayer Director: David Ayer Producers: David Ayer, Bill Block, John Friedberg, Chris Long, Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone Cast: Jason Statham as Levon Cade Michael Peña as Joe Garcia David Harbour as Gunny Lefferty Jason Flemyng as Wolo Kolisnyk Arianna Rivas as Jenny Garcia Noemi Gonzalez as Carla Garcia Emmett J. Scanlan as Viper Eve Mauro as Artemis Maximilian Osinski as Dimi Kolisnyk Isla Gie as Merry Cade Studio: Amazon MGM Studios Release Date: March 28, 2025 Box Office: As of April 1, 2025, the film has grossed $33.4 million worldwide, with $16.8 million from the United States and Canada, and $16.6 million from other territories. Reacher (Amazon Prime) Finale Out of 5 Stolen But Not Really Stolen Motorcycles Darryl: 4/5 Brian: 4.12/5 Season 3 Out of 10 There’s Always a Bigger Fish Darryl: 8/10 Brian: 8.21/10 Episode Title: “Unfinished Business”  Director: Sam Hill  Writer: Scott Sullivan  Air Date: March 27, 2025  Summary: In the gripping Season 3 finale of Reacher, titled “Unfinished Business,” Jack Reacher and his team confront the treacherous Xavier Quinn at Zachary Beck's estate. The episode features an intense showdown between Reacher and the formidable bodyguard Paulie, culminating in Paulie's demise. Amidst the chaos, Zachary Beck sacrifices himself to protect his son, Richard, from Quinn's wrath. Ultimately, Reacher exacts vengeance on Quinn, bringing their tumultuous history to a close. The season concludes with Reacher parting ways with his allies and riding off on a motorcycle, embodying his solitary nature.

Sometimes Karma is Worse Than a Poison Apple This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are talking about the latest episode of Daredevil: Born Again, the penultimate episode of Reacher season 3, and the absolute BOMB of Snow White at the box office, and what Disney should do to recover. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Snow Brown: 4:19 Daredevil: 22:43 Reacher: 36:27 Snow White Box Office News Disney's live-action remake of “Snow White” has experienced a disappointing performance at the box office. The film debuted with approximately $43 million in domestic earnings and a global total of around $87 million, both figures falling short of initial projections.

Murdock comforts her with hope that the killer will be brought to justice. At marriage counseling, Fisk and Vanessa discuss her affair with Adam and Glenn privately asks Vanessa if she feels safe around Fisk. Fisk’s plan to rebuild the city’s ports faces several hurdles, including bureaucratic procedures, gang in-fighting, and his protégé Daniel Blake drunkenly leaking details to BB who reports that Fisk is a union buster. Despite his anger, Fisk decides not to fire Blake when the latter expresses his deep loyalty. Murdock investigates the site of Ayala’s murder and finds a bullet casing with the Punisher’s symbol on it. He tracks down Castle and suggests that he should take responsibility for those who are misusing the Punisher symbol. Castle calls out Murdock for not killing Dex as retribution for Nelson’s death. Later that night, Murdock practices with his Daredevil billy clubs, Fisk eats dinner next to an imprisoned Adam, and the masked serial killer Muse drains blood from a victim.

Story Director: Sam Hill Writer: Penny Cox & Cait Duffy Air Date: March 20, 2025 Summary: Neagley interrogates Costopoulos, who tells her that Quinn murdered a family when business went wrong and is about to do the same to the Beck family. Reacher and Duffy, in Los Angeles, track down a drug dealer, Darien Prado, before having sex. Reacher and Duffy intercept Darien at a club and blackmail him into cooperating.

Duffy and Villanueva involve the ATF, much to Reacher’s reluctance.

As Officer Powell attempts to frame Matt for interfering with police matters, a key witness, Nicky Torres, is pressured into recanting testimony about police misconduct. In a bold courtroom strategy, Matt reveals Hector's identity as White Tiger, shifting jury perception when officers acknowledge his past aid to law enforcement. Though Hector is acquitted, his post-trial assassination by a gunman wearing a Punisher skull emblem hints at a broader conspiracy. Meanwhile, tensions rise between Fisk and his wife, Vanessa (Ayelet Zurer), over their conflicting visions for controlling New York's underworld. Balancing legal drama with intense action, the episode explores themes of justice, corruption, and the high cost of vigilantism, setting the stage for even greater conflicts ahead.

The GDA, the Guardians, and Earth’s heroes are overwhelmed and suffer heavy losses. Eve is incapacitated; Rex sacrifices himself to save Rudy, Monster Girl, and Bulletproof; Darkwing II is presumed dead; and the Immortal, Kate, Samson, and Shapesmith are wounded. When the surviving Invincibles turn on Angstrom, he traps them on a desolate Earth before battling Mark. Mark overpowers and nearly kills Angstrom, but he escapes to the Technicians, advanced cybernetic surgeons who previously healed him. Angstrom orders them to fix his wounds, but they refuse, demanding he submit to their will. In the aftermath of Angstrom’s attack, an aged Viltrumite envoy named Conquest arrives to survey Mark’s subjugation of Earth for the Viltrum Empire and is disappointed by his lack of progress. Devastated by the destruction and deaths directed at him, Mark charges at Conquest to vent his rage.

When Reacher accidentally shoots a cop, a police chase ensues. The man, whose name is Richard Beck, reveals to Reacher that someone had kidnapped him before and that his father only paid the ransom when his ear was amputated. Richard takes Reacher home to see his father, Zachary Beck. Reacher meets with Zachary, who thanks him for saving his son but is suspicious of him. Zachary offers Reacher a job if he plays Russian roulette, which he does. Reacher is working undercover for Susan Duffy, a DEA agent who recruited him to find a missing undercover agent, Teresa Daniels, in exchange for helping Reacher deal with a previous nemesis, Lieutenant Colonel Francis Xavier Quinn. To put Reacher undercover, they stage Richard’s kidnapping, with the kidnapper and the cop being DEA agents (Steven Eliot and Guillermo Villanueva) working with Duffy. Reacher sneaks into the garage at night, where he finds and reveals to Duffy that Teresa was there. Episode 2: Truckin' Director: Sam Hill Writer: Penny Cox Air Date: February 20, 2025 Summary: When Duffy learns from Reacher that Teresa is in danger, she beats up the bodyguard they are holding captive to find out what they plan to do with Teresa, but the bodyguard claims he does not know. Reacher has a brief scuffle with hulking bodyguard Paulie before Zachary’s head guard, Chapman Duke, sends Reacher to check out the hijacked cars. Reacher calls Duffy to tell her that it may be a problem for the kidnapping story; Duffy goes to the car yard to retrieve one of the cars. One of Zachary’s associates, Angel Doll, notices the bodyguard’s car but doesn’t see Duffy changed the license plate. Duke orders Reacher to take a truck to New London, Connecticut. Reacher calls Neagley to investigate the people he works with. Reacher meets with Duffy to check the trailer for drugs or Teresa’s body, but they only find carpets. Back in Maine, Doll questions Reacher about his actions at the yard and in the kidnapping, and when Doll tries to tell Duke about his suspicions, Reacher slams his head onto a table, killing him. Episode 3: Number 2 with a Bullet Director: Gary Fleder Writer: Cait Duffy Air Date: February 20, 2025 Summary: After returning from New London, Reacher meets with Zachary over a message from Doll. Reacher tries to make him believe that his partners are trying to betray him and that they should kill them, but Zachary doesn’t listen. After this, Reacher tells Duffy that he has a car ready to go back to the warehouse where he killed Doll. When Reacher arrives at the meeting point, Duffy tells him she will go with him to find Teresa, to which Reacher reluctantly agrees. At the warehouse, Reacher and Duffy search for Teresa and clean up Doll’s remains; two men arrive, and Reacher and Duffy kill them. Duffy keeps Doll’s laptop. The next day, Reacher has to be with Richard in town. Reacher defends him from some thugs, and Richard tells him that Zachary’s boss, Julius McCabe, threatened him and his father. When Reacher returns home, he goes with Duke and Zachary to a cabin, the kidnapper’s hiding spot. Reacher takes the opportunity to kill Duke, fake a shootout and blow up the house; in the car, he wins over Zachary and becomes his number two. Episode 4: Dominique Director: Sam Hill Writer: Lillian Wang Air Date: February 27, 2025 Summary: Reacher heads to Duffy’s house after gaining Zachary’s trust. He discovers that Julius McCabe is Xavier Quinn, whom he believed to be dead. Following the revelation, Reacher tells Duffy how he received a new partner, Dominique Kohl, to investigate a case involving Gorowski. They eventually force Gorowski to tell them that he works for Quinn, selling state secrets because Quinn threatened his family. Reacher and Kohl, along with Anthony Frasconi, intercept one of Quinn’s buyers, a Syrian businessman, Safwan Qasim, whom they force to assist in capturing Quinn. Having evidence to prosecute him, Reacher allows Kohl to arrest Quinn. Quinn instead kidnaps Kohl. In his search for her, Reacher finds Frasconi dead in a house, and later finds Kohl’s bloody body hanging in a cabin; Quinn brutally murdered her. Reacher finds Quinn and shoots him in retaliation, apparently killing him. Back in the present, Zachary sends Reacher to a factory where they have located Doll’s laptop and where Duffy is. Reacher heads to the factory as three of Quinn’s men arrive there. Episode 5: Smackdown Director: Norberto Barba Writer: Scott Sullivan Air Date: March 6, 2025 Summary: When Reacher can’t contact Duffy, he calls Eliot to call the company’s number. When Eliot calls, a gunfight breaks out between Quinn’s men and Duffy and Villanueva; Reacher helps Duffy and Villanueva escape. At the cabin, the captive bodyguard takes advantage of Eliot’s mistake to kill him and escape. After discovering that the feds are spying on them, Quinn’s men move into the house. When Duffy finds Eliot dead and the bodyguard has escaped, she calls Reacher to tell him so and get him out of the house, but Reacher formulates a plan involving Villanueva. Duffy cuts the power and Reacher uses Villanueva as bait to kill the bodyguard. Back at the house, Zachary informs Reacher that Annette, the maid, was an ATF infiltrator and that Paulie has killed her. Reacher tells Duffy that several Feds are spying on them and that Quinn is dealing in firearms, not drugs. The next morning, Zachary informs Reacher that they have been summoned to a factory. Reacher and Zachary arrive there just as they are about to meet Quinn.

Spider-man-less Movies No More This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are reviewing the penultimate episode of Dune: Prophecy, and the 2024 films Trap, Carry-On, Kraven The Hunter. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Dunc Prophecy: 5:30 Trap: 17:56 Carry-On: 29:07 Kraven The Hunter: 42:00 Dune: Prophecy (HBO Max) Out of 5 Never Cross the Bloodlines Darryl: 4.22/5 Brian: 4/5 Summary In the penultimate episode of “Dune: Prophecy,” titled “In Blood, Truth,” the narrative intensifies as intricate alliances and hidden agendas come to the forefront. Emperor Corrino establishes a new elite security regiment led by Desmond, reflecting the Emperor's covert subservience to Desmond's manipulations. Francesca, a member of the Bene Gesserit and former confidante of the Emperor, returns with the aim of influencing him while positioning her son, Constantine, in a place of power. Tula reveals that Lila, resurrected from death, now hosts the spirit of her grandmother, Raquella, who is engaged in scientific pursuits. Desmond's crackdown on rebels and the revelation of his mixed Atreides and Harkonnen lineage further complicate the power dynamics. As he incites Natalya's call to eradicate the Bene Gesserit, the episode underscores a world where the distinction between good and evil is increasingly ambiguous. The finale is poised to unravel more complexities, reinforcing themes of loyalty, deception, and the strategic maneuvers of the Bene Gesserit. Trap (2024) Out of 10 Sometimes You Just Have to Make a Movie Staring Your Daughter Darryl: 5.25/10 Brian: 6.2/10 Summary Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, “Trap” is a psychological thriller that follows Cooper (Josh Hartnett), a father who takes his teenage daughter to a pop concert featuring her favorite artist, Lady Raven. Unbeknownst to his daughter, Cooper leads a double life as a serial killer known as “The Butcher.” The concert becomes a high-stakes setting as law enforcement closes in, creating a tense atmosphere where Cooper must navigate his dual identities. Carry-On (2024) Out of 10 Someone Really Wants to be Die Hard 2 Darryl: 6.55/10 Brian: 5.5/10 Summary “Carry-On,” directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, is a suspenseful action thriller set during the holiday season. The film stars Taron Egerton as Ethan Kopek, a TSA agent at LAX airport. On Christmas Eve, Ethan is coerced by a mysterious traveler (Jason Bateman) into allowing a dangerous package through security, under threats to his loved ones. The narrative unfolds within the confines of the airport, blending high tension with action as Ethan grapples with moral dilemmas and imminent threats. Kraven the Hunter (2024) Out of 10 Why Did Rhino Have Ears Darryl: 5.77/10 Brian: 6.43/10 Summary “Kraven the Hunter” is an action-packed origin story from Sony's Spider-Man Universe. Aaron Taylor-Johnson portrays Sergei Kravinoff, known as Kraven, who embarks on a path of vengeance influenced by his complex relationship with his ruthless father, Nikolai Kravinoff (Russell Crowe). The film delves into Kraven's transformation into one of the world's most formidable hunters, exploring themes of family dynamics and the consequences of a life driven by vengeance.
