Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Flanagan

If you frequent Collider Ladies Night, you're well aware that I'm a big proponent of filmmaking families — frequent collaborators who stick together and also add new additions to the family every step of the way. Mike Flanagan's “Flanafamily” is a big one, and it's a topic that keeps popping up with Molly Gordon, who's recently found great success collaborating with close friends on films like Theater Camp and Oh, Hi. Yet another top-tier filmmaking family? The one James Gunn started and continues to thrive with, and that family has a member you're going to be seeing a whole of in the coming weeks, months and years. It's Mikaela Hoover.In celebration of the release of Superman, in which Hoover plays Daily Planet gossip columnist Cat Grant, she took the time to swing by the Collider Ladies Night studio and recap her journey to joining three of the biggest franchises of all time - DC, Marvel and, most recently, One Piece. It's a list of accomplishments that certainly can be traced back to Hoover's natural talent, but as we often discuss on Ladies Night, in film and television, finding someone who sees you and what you're capable of can be essential. Hoover found that in Gunn. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this review we witness the manifestation of miracles unfolding within an isolated island community. We examine Mike Flanagan's supernatural horror television series Midnight Mass.

It's nice....when things are just nice....We're a little late to the dance on this one but on this episode we dive into one of our favourite movies of the year with 'The Life of Chuck'.From the mind of Stephen King and the vision of Mike Flanagan; 'The Life of Chuck' is a profoundly magical story about the importance of living life and appreciating every minute of it that takes us through the life of one Charles Krantz (Tom Hiddleston) in three very distinct chapters.Low key one of our favourite movies of the year that people need to see, we had the chance to talk with the one and only Matthew Lillard who played a key role in how the story unfolds.  We talked with him about working with Mike Flanagan, the philosophy of the story, how he's lived his life to the fullest and so very much more.'The Life of Chuck' is in theatres now....

In this episode, I discuss two of my latest big screen viewing experiences, specifically "The Life of Chuck" and "28 Years Later". Why do I refer to Mike Flanagan as a "gateway" horror director? Did '28 Years Later' match my expectations? When will Aaron Taylor-Johnson fans know justice? What's with all of the naked zombies? Tune in now to hear it all...

It's crossover chaos and comic book carnage on this week's episode of That Comic Podcast! We talk 28 Years Later and then dive right into the big news: Jon Bernthal is officially joining Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Brand New Day—yes, the Punisher is crashing the MCU party. We also break down Marvel's surprise fourth movie in 2028, because clearly “quality over quantity” was just a phase.Meanwhile, James Gunn is making headlines again—one moment he's hyping up Mike Flanagan's R-rated Clayface horror flick, and the next he's telling fans to get off Matt Reeves' nuts about The Batman Part II. And speaking of brutal cuts, we run through the long list of Marvel comic titles getting the axe.Plus: the Spider-Man '94 comic drama (and John Semper's spicy response), Kevin Smith writing a Green Arrow/Daredevil crossover (no, really), and more Marvel/DC madness than a crossover event can handle. Subscribe to the channel, leave a comment with your hottest take, and catch us on the podcast for more unfiltered nerd rage and laughter!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/that-comic-podcast--5896499/support.

This week is a special episode... sort of, being that we are Bangor, ME residents, and while we didn't love The Life of Chuck, it's a fascinating collaboration-ish with Mike Flanagan taking on a King story. We also take a look at The Accountant 2, the sequel to a film we both rather enjoyed, but a sequel that misses the mark when it comes to justifying its existence.

They start with Celine Song's ‘Materialists' and celebrate Song's wonderful writing while also exploring their inability to connect to Dakota Johnson's and Pedro Pascal's performances of the material (1:46).

Finally, Sean is joined by Flanagan to talk about his relationship to King, why he felt that this was the right time to make a shift away from horror, and how to tightrope walk the thin line between corniness and sincerity (1:21:01).

2025 is shaping up to be the Year of Stephen King, with three films and one TV series adaptations of his work on offer for rabid fans. This week, Earth's Mightiest Critics look at Mike Flanagan's The Life of Chuck, a very different kind of King movie--inspired by a very different kind of King short story!Chuck Krantz (Tom Hiddleston) is an accountant whose imminent retirement is advertised on billboards all over town.

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! The Running Man Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order With Netflix Fubar Season 2 releasing, Mike Flanagan's Adaptation of Stephen King's "The Life of Chuck" out now + "The Long Walk" from Francis Lawrence coming later this year, AND Glen Powell & Edgar Wright readying their reboot, Coy & Andrew are BACK for The Running Man Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Coy Jandreau & Andrew Gordon as they plunge into The Running Man (1987), Paul Michael Glaser's dystopian sci-fi action thriller based on Stephen King's novel. In a totalitarian 2019, wrongly convicted ex-cop Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Terminator, Predator) is forced onto a deadly game show where “stalkers” hunt him for sport. Facing foes like the patriotic Captain Freedom (Jesse Ventura, Predator, Commando), the explosive Fireball (Jim Brown, The Dirty Dozen, Mars Attacks!), and the razor-bladed Buzzsaw (Erland Van Lidth, Star Trek VI), Richards must survive the arena and outsmart ruthless host Damon Killian (Richard Dawson, Family Feud, Herschel in Cool as Ice). Coy & Andrew break down every iconic scene—from Richards' skyscraper leap and the “Stage 3” Hammer Cage brawl to the unforgettable “Beat the Clock” cable car finale and the climactic live on-air rebellion. Don't miss the classic lines (“You can't run forever!”) and the Easter eggs that helped redefine the action-thriller genre. #TheRunningMan #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #JesseVentura #JimBrown #RichardDawson #SciFiThriller #DystopianMovie #MovieReaction #ReactionReview #CoyJandreau #AndrewGordon #Movie #Movies #Reaction #ReactTo #React #StephenKing #clips #actioncomedy #action #scifi #movie Follow Andrew Gordon on Socials:  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovieSource Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/agor711/?hl=en Twitter:  https://twitter.com/Agor711 Follow Coy Jandreau:  Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?l...

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Don't be scared, but this week I'm talking with Horror Queen Kate Siegel! Along with her husband Mike Flanagan, Kate has helped to create some of the most terrifying films and TV in recent memory. I was blown away by Kate's performance as Maddie in Hush, which she also wrote. She also played Theodora Crain in Haunting of Hill House, Erin Greene in Midnight Mass and Camille L'Espanaye in The Fall of the House of Usher. She and Mike are releasing a new film, Life of Chuck, which is adapted from a Stephen King novel, but is a departure from the horror genre— I can't wait to go and check it out! Kate has found her niche with horror, but she's such a fantastic actor in everything she does, not to mention a great writer. This conversation also touches on motherhood, addiction and sobriety and the joys and challenges of collaborating creatively with your life partner. Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight this week, where my producer Jeph and I talk about the interview and answer some fan questions from the Mailsack!

Earth Station Boo and friends Sam & Thomas, take a deep dive into the mind of filmmaker Mike Flanagan, one of modern horror's most distinctive voices.

In this episode, we explore his […] The post In darkness, we find our true selves | Earth Station Boo appeared first on The ESO Network.

This week Dave braved writer-director Mike Flanagan's adaption of Stephen King's THE LIFE OF CHUCK (3:19) and deems it strangely affecting despite not being in love, generally, with the weird maudlin nostalgia of King's non-horror work. Then Megan, Evan, and Dave weigh in on (this is actually its full title) FROM THE WORLD OF JOHN WICK: BALLERINA (20:47). It largely works for Evan, kind of works for Dave, and Megan didn't like it much at all, though they all agree it has some great action set pieces and it's always good to see the late Lance Reddick. Over on Patreon, we discuss the 1985 slasher-legal thriller JAGGED EDGE.

Samantha Sloyan is a familar face from countless television shows, but that face will be particularly familiar to anyone who keeps up with the "Flanaverse" -- movies and shows from Mike Flanagan, like Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher, and The Haunting of Hill House. Sloyan's latest project is a departure for Flanagan, and perhaps for her as well -- it's the new movie The Life of Chuck, which hits theaters this weekend and expands next week. Together, she and huge fan Jordan discuss the ways that she feels seen by FBI Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachan) in David Lynch's Twin Peaks, and the many ways that Lynch's storytelling style appeals to her craft as an actor.Then, Jordan has one quick thing that doesn't stray too far from the main topic...it's about the casting of Flanagan's new Carrie adaptation.***With Jordan Crucchiola & Samantha Sloyan Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.

Mike Flanagan's adaptation of The Life of Chuck starts hitting screens this weekend. It's about a lot of things: the end of the world, the impact a single person can have on the universe, the importance of math, and the joy of dancing. It's hard to explain what this movie is, but it is large and, much like the title character, contains multitudes. 

Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, and Dan Caffrey head to Hollywood King again to discuss the latest developments in King's Dominion, specifically new trailers for Welcome to Derry and The Long Walk, a depressing quote from Stephen King, Mike Flanagan's Carrie, Emilio Estevez's Maximum Overdrive sequel idea, and more.
