She's not her cousin. Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock) arrived on screen in Supergirl with a chip on her shoulder and a body count on her conscience — a cosmic revenge story light-years removed from the sunnier mythology of Superman. Whether the DCU's second theatrical outing delivered on that premise is another question entirely.Mike White and Chris Stachiw of The Kulturecast dig into Craig Gillespie's Supergirl, written by Ana Nogueira and adapted from Tom King and Bilquis Evely's acclaimed comic miniseries Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. The film stars Alcock alongside Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, Matthias Schoenaerts as the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills, Jason Momoa as Lobo, and David Corenswet reprising his role as Superman. Mike and Chris take stock of what works, what doesn't, and what Alcock's performance promises for the character's future in the DCU — box office results notwithstanding.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

This is the Way — but is it the right way to bring the galaxy's most beloved odd couple to the big screen?

Set in the aftermath of the Empire's fall, the film finds Din Djarin and his apprentice recruited by the New Republic — represented by Colonel Ward (Sigourney Weaver) — to take on the remnants of Imperial warlords, with Jeremy Allen White joining the cast as Rotta the Hutt.

Western month begins here. Lucio Fulci's Massacre Time (1966) arrived in the wake of Django riding a wave of Italian genre fever, and it announced something different lurking inside the spaghetti Western: a director with a genuine appetite for cruelty. Franco Nero plays Tom Corbett, a gold prospector summoned back to a hometown now wholly owned by the Scott family — their name on every building, their violence on every street corner. Waiting for him is his brother Jeff (George Hilton), drinking himself to death, and Junior Scott (Nino Castelnuovo), a white-suited sadist with a bullwhip and nowhere near enough supervision.Mike White, Spencer Parsons, and Joe Odber dig into Fulci's pre-horror career, Fernando Di Leo's crime-inflected screenplay, the film's feudal vision of capitalism, and the charged dynamics of the Scott family — Oedipal, theatrical, and deeply strange. They also trace Junior's lineage forward to a certain plantation dandy in a white suit.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

The film blends never-before-seen new stunts — tailored, inevitably, to a cast now well into their fifties — with archival footage and greatest hits from across the franchise's history, featuring the full returning roster: Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Jason "Wee Man" Acuña, Dave England, Preston Lacy, and Danger Ehren, alongside newer members Rachel Wolfson, Zach Holmes, Jasper Dolphin, and Poopies. Mike and Chris reckon with what Jackass meant, what it spawned, and whether this farewell sticks the landing.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Lo prometido es deuda. Si hace unas semanas Juan Luis Álvarez comentaba varias series que tenían en común a personajes encerrados en lugares extraños y casi siempre con futuros inciertos, en esta ocasión salimos al exterior buscando soleados destinos vacacionales, ranchos donde ver horizontes inmensos y pueblecitos entre montañas... White Lotus (HBO MAX, 3 temporadas, 21 episodios) Mike White, actor y guionista, tiene un humor ácido que trastoca los universos familiares, de amistades y las cosas de pareja de una forma tan divertida como incómoda. Por ejemplo, en la tercera temporada de "White Lotus" lleva a un puñado de personajes nada edificantes a un resort en Tailandia a disfrutar del aire libre, a beber, a comer y a todo lo demás a lo que ayuda el picante... Lo mejor: Lo conjuntado del trabajo del reparto. Lo bien que retrata las incongruencias humanas y la culpa. Lo peor: Demasiado poco "normal" para el paladar masivo. Trailer 1923 (Sky showtime, 2 temporadas, 16 episodios) La precuela de "Yellowstone", protagonizada por Harrison Ford y Helen Mirren, transcurre entre los paisajes de Montana, donde se desencadena una guerra entre vaqueros y ovejeros por los pastos en época de sequía, y los de Kenia donde anda buscándose a sí mismo uno de los miembros jóvenes del clan protagonista, tras las barbaridades que vivió en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Lo mejor: Dos actrices: la veterana Helen Mirren y la joven Julia Schlaepfer. Lo peor: Acabó pronto. Daba mucho más de sí. Trailer Un lugar para soñar (5 temporadas, 54 episodios, Netflix) Serie sobre una enfermera que, huyendo de sus recuerdos, llega a la pequeña localidad de Virgin River, entre montañas, pensando que será el sitio perfecto para empezar de nuevo. No imagina que va a encontrar al amor de su vida y un campamento de narcotraficantes, corrupción policial, varias personas con estrés postraumático, celos, traiciones, infidelidades y algunos cadáveres. Cosas normales que ocurren en cualquier drama romántico al aire libre que se precie… Lo mejor: Te la bebes como un vaso de agua fresquita. Lo peor: Las últimas temporadas dan un poco igual, pero ya estás enviciado. Trailer

Last year's Superman was a genuine suprise, especially for those amongst us who had soured heavily on the previous attempt at a unified DC Universe with Snyder's Darkseriousverse. The hope was real that James Gunn at would be enough to point the ship in a new, more interesting direction. Unfortunately, Supergirl is not that and barely lives up to even the smaller successes of Superman while attempting to broaden the universe in mostly unsuccessful ways. The Projection Booth's Mike White crosses over once again to talk Milly Alcock, DC comics, and why Superman just ain't for either of us.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.

Jackass has been a part of pop culture since the show first aired on MTV back in the pastoral years of the year 2000; 26 years later, the Jackass boys are a bit older but still up to, for the most part, their old tricks. While the group has shrunk (and grown) over the last two decades, the rambunctious stunts and pranks still remain, even if Jackass: Best and Last is effectively a glorified clipshow at worst and a pseudo-docu-goodbye at best. The Projection Booth's Mike White crosses over to talk about poo cocktails, penises, and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.

How Season 50 Was Won (And Lost) Today, Rob Cesternino dives deep into what really determined Survivor 50. This special episode, featuring Rob solo, offers an exceptional breakdown of the most pivotal moments, surprising shifts, and hidden factors that led to Aubry's unpredictable win. Rob painstakingly retraces every tribal, alliance shakeup, and win probability swing, asking: Was Survivor 50 about big moves — or simply outlasting the chaos? This episode unpacks the most consequential events from the current Survivor season. Rob explains his unique “win share” calculations, tracking each player's changing odds to win after every elimination. He takes listeners through early exits (like Jenna Lewis and Kyle), the devastating impact of the Blood Moon triple elimination, and the strategic ripples after power players like Mike White, Charlie, and Ozzy are sent packing. As alliances shatter and new threats emerge, the episode sheds light on how key gameplay decisions — from hidden immunity idols to the art of flying under the radar — carve new paths to the end. Rob highlights Aubry's journey, watching her odds climb from the bottom, as well as how players like Cirie, Rizo, and Tiffany rise and fall with each vote. Key moments in the episode include: – The dramatic Blood Moon night and its impact on Genevieve, Colby, and Kamilla – Cirie's near-miss as a front-runner and the social dynamics that lead to her blindside – Rob's breakdown of “win share”—how rapidly odds shift for favorites like Ozzy, Jonathan, and Aubry – The value of laying low versus making flashy moves, seen through Aubry's late-game push and hidden threat management – Critical alliance upheavals after big moves, including the ousters of Mike White, Charlie, and Rick Devens Does playing a quiet, adaptive game now trump bold moves and big threats as the surest path to $2 million in Survivor 50? Can calculating the win equity at each vote help us truly understand how Aubry survived the bloodbath? Tune in as Rob untangles the chaos and reveals the unexpected truths behind Survivor's landmark fiftieth season. Chapters: 00:00 Oops All Aubry Concept Explained 02:35 Assigning Initial Win Percentages 05:55 Jenna and Kyle Eliminations Impact 10:44 Early Positioning of Aubry and Angelina 13:52 Tribe Swap Dramatically Shifts Odds 17:11 Mike White and Charlie Votes Change Game 23:12 Blood Moon: Three Major Eliminations 27:07 Genevieve Boot Transforms Aubry’s Chances 31:12 Colby and Blood Moon Fallout 34:53 Merge Vote: D Goes Home 36:15 Coach and Chrissy Double Elimination 40:26 Christian’s Blindside and Sizable Impact 44:06 Stephanie Out, Aubry Rises to Middle 46:55 Aubry Flips on Ozzy at Power Broker 52:18 Rick Devens Voted Out at Final Six 53:52 Cirie Blindsided, Jonathan Becomes Favorite 56:01 Finale—Aubry Wins Crucial Immunity 59:15 Aubry Seals the Win at Final Tribal 01:03:02 Lessons From Survivor 50’s Outcome To order Rob’s book, The Tribe and I Have Spoken, visit www.robhasabook.com Never miss a minute of RHAP's extensive Survivor coverage!

Episode 240 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!  This week we are joined by Speaker, Leader, Coach and Author, Mike White!Episode in a Glance:In this episode of the Hitstreak, I get to interview Mike White, known as the 'opportunity broker.' Mike shares his incredible journey from spending 18 and a half years in prison to becoming a published author and a respected leader. We discuss the challenges of addiction, the importance of education and personal growth during incarceration, and the transformative power of opportunity and mentorship. The episode highlights the stigma faced by those with a criminal background and the resilience required to overcome it, ultimately leading to a fulfilling life after prison. White also shares his transformative journey from prison to becoming a successful car salesman and entrepreneur. Finally, we end by emphasizing the significance of gratitude, positivity, and the miracle of life, encouraging listeners to pursue their dreams and help others along the way.Key Points:- The negativity and positivity in life are very real.- Education in prison can lead to personal transformation.- Opportunity can come from unexpected places.- Taking ownership of one's past is crucial for growth.- Resilience is key to overcoming life's challenges.- Leadership can be found in the most unlikely situations.- Emotional freedom is possible even in confinement.- Support from mentors can change lives.About our guest: Mike White is a speaker, coach, and founder of Standard 53™ and the UNFINISHED™ movement, focused on helping people turn adversity into real growth through ownership, discipline, and direct communication. In 2000, he was facing two life sentences but was given a second chance. He spent 18.5 years incarcerated, including 10 years in maximum security, where he rebuilt his life from the ground up—learning to read and write, earning his GED after seven attempts, and becoming obsessed with personal development. While inside, he developed his foundation through mentorship, faith, and leadership opportunities. He married his wife while still incarcerated and committed to a life of responsibility and growth. After release, Mike became a top sales performer within 90 days and has since trained with and worked alongside high-level leaders across business and personal development. Today, he helps others navigate adversity, addiction, and transformation.

Predictions for the Survivor 50 Live Reunion Show It's finale eve for Survivor 50, and Rob Cesternino and Mike Bloom are breaking down everything you need to know ahead of the long-awaited return of the live reunion show. Rob and Mike share their predictions and memories, all while reflecting on the whirlwind of Survivor 50's season—packed with fans' favorite twists, big personalities, and the return of some iconic moments. Rob and Mike speculate not only about how the finale will play out but also what the live reunion has in store after years away. Rob and Mike take listeners back to the last live reunion, remembering special moments both on and off the stage, before diving into what makes this season's finale unique: the fan vote-driven Sia Award, the promise of in-the-moment reveals, and plenty of on-stage surprises. The hosts discuss the structural shake-up teased by Jeff Probst—blending the finale and reunion into a single, unpredictable three-hour event. With the return of live audiences, mystery guest appearances (will Sia show up in person?), and speculation about which celebrity superfans might appear, anticipation runs high. They also debate who will take home the Sia Fan Favorite Award, reflect on the impact of memorable exits (like Cirie and Rick Devens), and question whether there'll be deep dives into the season's biggest moves, alliances, and even pregame relationships. Key topics from this episode include: – What to expect from Survivor's first live reunion since 2019, featuring a new hybrid format with surprise guest segments – The frontrunners for the Sia Fan Favorite Award and how fan memory shapes the vote – Speculation about which Survivor legends, winners, or celebrity fans will be in the audience and called on by Jeff – Predictions about whether topics like pregame alliances or historic rivalries will get airtime on the reunion stage – The likelihood of surprise live moments—merch plugs, political statements, or classic Coach haikus As Rob and Mike count down to Survivor 50's grand finale, they tease all the drama that could unfold on and off stage. Will past rivals reunite or hash things out? What late-game move will steal the spotlight? And could an unexpected live moment change Survivor reunion history?

What's the perfect alibi? Being at the doctor's office while your dogs do the dirty work. Mike White and Chris Stachiw sink their teeth into Season Seven's "How to Dial a Murder," a 1978 episode that features one of the most ingeniously gruesome murder methods in the entire Columbo canon. Nicol Williamson commands the screen as Dr. Eric Mason, a behavioral psychologist with iron self-control, a house full of movie memorabilia, and two very well-trained Dobermans named Laurel and Hardy. When he discovers that his late wife had been having an affair with his best friend Dr. Charles Hunter (Joel Fabiani), Mason devises a kill that's equal parts Pavlov and Orson Welles: dial home, ask a question about Citizen Kane, and let the dogs handle the rest.  There's also the small matter of Columbo's complicated feelings about the dogs — and whether they deserve what the legal system has in store for them.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

The interview starts with Coach reflecting on his game as the “Tidewalker” and what triggered his downfall after the Blood Moon challenge. Coach admits stepping off too early in a pivotal challenge, misreading alliances, and watching his army fall apart due to unexpected tribal decisions. He details the chaotic vote splits, the dangers of trusting the wrong advisors, and how Rick Devens' fake idol play at Tribal Council altered the mood and confidence of the group. Coach also opens up about his changing gameplay mindset, the challenge of competing against “free agents” like Ozzy, Cirie, and Rizo, and the emotional toll of seeing allies like Colby and Mike White get picked off. Key moments from the episode include: – Coach's critical misstep during the Blood Moon challenge that shifted his position in the tribe – The impact of the vote split debate and why Coach felt he was fighting “idiocy” within his own alliance – Rick Devens' fake idol play and the ripple effects it had at Tribal – Emotional confessions about losing allies and Coach's frustration with strategic blind spots – Insights into the strategic depth (or lack thereof) in Survivor 50 compared to past seasons Will Coach take another shot at Survivor, or is his journey truly over after four unforgettable seasons? How did a single challenge decision spiral into his eventual blindside?

Survivor 50 Ep 5 Exit Interviews Today, Rob Cesternino returns with a double exit interview episode. Rob sits down with Angelina Keeley and Charlie Davis to break down their journeys on Survivor's milestone season. This week's show unpacks emotional exits, shifting gameplay, and the strategies you didn't get to see on TV, straight from two contestants who felt the full weight of the tribe's torch snuffings. The conversation kicks off with Angelina opening up about her intentional “under the radar” approach this time around after David vs. Goliath. She and Rob explore how self-awareness and preseason perceptions—especially from old-schoolers like Stephenie and Colby—shaped her experience. Angelina candidly discusses how her close friendship with Mike White impacted her game and what it felt like to lose him to a brutal blindside. Rob draws out the details on alliance-building, missed “Shot in the Dark” plays, and how Emily ran the show behind the scenes. Later, Charlie Davis joins to reflect on social media's influence on Survivor strategy, his processing of loss from season 46, and how small moments by the water well or campfire can turn the game. There's also an inside look at the surprising alliances formed with Jonathan, the evolving dynamics with Dee and Kamilla, and the infamous conversation about the Billie Eilish idol with Rizo. – Angelina reveals the emotional fallout of Mike White's blindside and why her quieter game was deliberate – Charlie shares lessons on navigating returnee seasons and managing social media perceptions – Strategic misreads, like Ozzy's tells and the trust game between allies and enemies – Funny camp moments, including Coach's 1987 toe ring and debates about papaya preparation – Deep dives into pre-game alliances, swap tribe chaos, and Emily's under-the-radar domination Can new-school flexibility outwit old-school “honor and integrity,” or are day-one perceptions impossible to shake? Hear why Emily, Christian, and slow-rolling strategies defined Survivor 50's latest moves—and what these exits mean for the game ahead.

As Survivor hits this massive milestone, Rob and Tina break down the latest strategy shifts, evolving player dynamics, and a memorable celebrity cameo—asking what it all means for the direction of the season.
