The Purge continues on this month's episode with the second film in the franchise, "The Purge: Anarchy"! Does this one follow through on the promise of the first movie's premise? Does it dive further into the socioeconomic conflict at the heart of the idea? And Frank Grillo is basically The Punisher, right?

My amazing conversation with Jay Giles about The Wire concludes with a bonus segment in which we reflect on the series as a whole. We share which season was our favorite and why.  And of course I had to ask Jay about the "controversial" second season of the series and whether or not he enjoyed it.  We talk about satisfying character deaths, our favorite moment of comeuppance, and other memorable character introductions beyond the pilot.Thanks so much for listening!

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris revisit the 2014 remake of Robocop, which just celebrated its 10th anniversary.Starring Joel Kinnaman as Alex Murphy, 2014's Robocop sees the Detroit cop almost killed by a car bomb after he gets too close to taking down the local crime boss, Vallon (Patrick Garrow). Luckily (or maybe unlucky) for Alex, he's selected to be the first cyborg police officer for Omnicorp. They have robotic drones in war zones around the globe but are legally prohibited from deploying them on US soil. Omnicorp CEO Raymond Sellars (Michael Keaton) believes Robocop can help turn the tide of public opinion and help him deploy robots in every major US city.Zach and Chris talk about some of the things this new version does well, including the horrific view of what's left of Murphy's body, the action sequences, and the complicated arc of Gary Oldman's Dr. Norton along with some of the things that pale in comparison to the original, like its self-serious tone and lack of hilarious satire, the PG-13 rating and the uncharismatic.You can watch Robocop on Max if you want to get refreshed on the remake.Next week we're talking about Darkman, which is coming to 4K for the first time on Tuesday, 2/20.We want to hear your comments and feedback.

My conversation with Jay about the pilot episode of The Wire continues! If you haven't listened to part 1 of our conversation, check it out here.  In this final part of our discussion about the pilot, we talk about what worked well in the episode and whether we would change anything about this well executed hour of television.  We examine whether The Wire is copaganda and close out the discussion with the thirst segment.  I asked Jay to do some thirst-inspired casting for the show.  Thank you so much for listening! There will be a new episode next Wine Wednesday and keep an eye on your feed for the bonus segment in which Jay and I share reflections about The Wire beyond the pilot.Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time!Please find and follow Jay on social media at the following links: Jay's Personal Twitter, Jay's Movie Talk, the Keda N Jay show, and TVZone Podcast Network.Don't miss episodes on The Barbie Movie, Found, The Tudors, Raising Kanan, The Good Girls, and Spartacus.  Support the showFollow the pod on IG, Twitter, and Tumblr.Send longer feedback to morewinepod@gmail.com.Find our full catalog of past episodes at morewinepod.buzzsprout.com.

In 2014 the most powerful people on earth (Hollywood) decided to bless us all with a reboot of the original RoboCop. Taking some cues for the 1987 classic it brough Joel Kinnerman into the title role of Alex Murphy in a effort to again revamp the classic series. With a steller cast including Michael Keaton, Michael K Williams, Jack Earl Haley, Abbie Cornish, Sam Jackson it certainly tries some things but ultimately comes out feeling rather toothless.

Get up and get informed! Here's all the local news you need to start your day: This fall, a new pilot aims to replace gas stoves in NYCHA apartments with energy-efficient induction stoves. Additionally, research nonprofit Climate Central ranks New York City first out of 44 cities for its potential to trap heat on summer days. Finally, a federal judge sentences Carlos Macci to two-and-a-half years in prison and one year of inpatient drug treatment for actor Michael K. Williams' overdose death.

VLOG July 26: Bankman-Fried 2:30, Joe Lewis before. Hadden 20 years, Tim Shea 63 months; Michael K. Williams "killer" 30. #Venezuela El Pollo has receipts on heads of state but UN bans Inner City Press from #UNGA, @USUN @MelissaFleming contempt for 1st Amendment

Some constituents of Representative George Santos are imploring members of Congress to get rid of him before they break for their August recess. Plus, some voters in Queens will head to the polls this Fall to choose their new state Assembly member. Also, Prosecutors are seeking long prison sentences for four men who have pleaded guilty to drug charges in connection with the fatal overdose of the late actor Michael K. Williams. And finally, WNYC's Michael Hill talks with housing reporter David Brand about a practice that's raising concerns that insurers may be unfairly discriminating against groups protected by state and federal fair housing laws.

Based on Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, this post-apocalyptic “road movie” pairs Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee as father and son traversing a hostile landscape. Co-starring Charlize Theron, Robert Duvall, Michael K. Williams, Garrett Dillahunt, and Guy Pearce - in about one scene each - the film presents a stark and desolate landscape ravaged by a civilization-ending calamity. (And no wonder - they shot it in Pittsburgh!) Following McCarthy's passing last month at age 89, we're hitting The Road to see how the pic based on an Oprah's Book Club pick holds up.   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Our hosting switcheroo continues as Joe helms a full analysis and fix of 2016's Assassin's Creed, Justin Kurzel and Michael Fassbender's attempt to adapt the hit video game franchise to the silver screen. It didn't win any Razzies, but Jack got to do Caligula. In this 1st part, we breakdown what did and didn't work about the film, explore the connections between the film and games and briefly look into the series' history, and look into what some critics had to say. Jack laments his lack of virtual parkour skills, Joe gives a scattered overview of the games, and take a moment to laugh about cringeworthy presidential announcements. Join us as we explore what could have been a hit film series, where nothing is real and everything is permitted (as long as its PG-13, I guess). CW: Brief mention of the alleged sexual misconduct and misogynist culture within Ubisoft, violence, Christopher Columbus, a reminder that the Uwe Boll adaptation of Bloodrayne exists.

[REBROADCAST FROM August 31, 2022] Michael K. Williams was in the process of writing his memoir when he passed away unexpectedly in 2021.

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to discuss the 2022 film, Breaking, starring John Boyega, Nicole Beharie, Selenis Leyva, and the late Michael K. Williams. Based on the 2017 real-life story of the late Brian Brown-Easley, a former Marine Corps veteran in financial trouble. Easley is concerned over the effects of this on his daughter alongside the prospects of homelessness to the point of threatening to blow up a Wells Fargo bank in order to receive payment he believes he is owed from the Veterans Administration.  

Conor Walsh takes us on his journey growing up in Ireland, developing his interest in travel, and leaving at age 21 to become a full-time nomad.  He reflects on over a decade of travel, starting with his experiences in Southeast Asia, what he loves about Thailand, and the social impact businesses he was involved with in Kuala Lumpur.   Conor also talks about his trip to North Korea, lessons from experiencing an alternate reality, and how it later informed his ability to understand the wide adoption of conspiracy theories like QAnon.  Next, he opens up about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse and how one night in Kampala, Uganda he was able to quit cold turkey and stay sober ever since.  Conor then talks about spending his birthday in Sudan, learning about Sufi Islamic traditions, and sleeping alone at the pyramids.  And, finally, he reflects on his experience in Ethiopia, why it was so different from other African countries, and tells the story of the night he ran into Michael K. Williams.  FULL SHOW NOTES AVAILABLE AT: www.TheMaverickShow.com
