The Supreme Court limits nationwide injunctions in birthright citizenship order. How Israel pulled off audacious ‘Red Wedding' and ‘Operation Narnia' attacks on Iran.

In this episode we zoom out and talk about all the books we covered over the past few months, discussing favorites and least favorites, as well as highlighting some themes that emerged, including strong settings and ‘the madwoman' in literature. We then get into adaptation theory – some background on adaptations, and what we think makes a good adaptation (with a few tangents into the upcoming Harry Potter series and Greta Gerwig's Narnia).

It's Mailbag Friday! You've got questions, we've got answers! Segment 1: • Is Christian fiction with magic (like Narnia and Lord of the Rings) acceptable—or is it just as problematic as Harry Potter? • Can someone be a true Christian while denying the New Testament is divinely inspired? • After years of disrespect, how can I show my husband my new heart of submission? Segment 2: • How can I practically “study” my future wife to love her well in marriage? Segment 3: • Why don't pastors preach more clearly about ghosts and spirits of the dead? • How should I handle lust while dating a godly woman? • How should a man respond when married to an emotionally abusive narcissist who hides it from everyone else? Segment 4: • Is it appropriate for women to teach boys and girls in junior high youth group? • How should a woman living in adultery respond when her kids call out her broken marriage? • Is “husband of one wife” a qualification or a command—and can a single man be an elder? • How do I counsel women who wrestle with God allowing their suffering? ___ Thanks for listening!

Hi Sleepy. I'm not in my studio tonight. I'm in my living room, and you're welcome to wander around—mentally, I mean. This is one of those episodes where I try to record two in a row and end up walking straight into my own metaphors. Tonight, I tell you about my gingerbread pig. No, really. A real one, from childhood. It flew through the air and shattered, and maybe something inside me did too. But I'm okay. I'm in a good pit, a “PP,” if you will. We also talk about running in Narnia, how ferrets might process grief, and what it means to be a chaotic human with a Swedish mouth that doesn't like the word “chaos.” There's nothing to fix here, nothing to climb out of.

We wrap up our exploration of Narnia and Middle Earth talking about the virtue of friendship: why is it so important for us? How is it a help?

“Nichts, was wir nicht weggegeben haben, wird jemals wirklich unser sein.” C. S. Lewis C. S. Lewis (Clive Staples Lewis, 1898–1963) war ein britischer Schriftsteller, Literaturwissenschaftler und christlicher Denker. Er ist vor allem bekannt für seine Werke der Fantasy-Literatur sowie für seine theologischen und apologetischen Schriften. Hier sind einige wichtige Fakten über ihn: 1. Leben Geboren: 29. November 1898 in Belfast, Nordirland. Gestorben: 22. November 1963 in Oxford, England (am selben Tag wie John F. Kennedy und Aldous Huxley). Lewis war Professor für mittelalterliche und englische Literatur an der Universität Oxford und später an der Universität Cambridge. 2. Literarisches Werk Die Chroniken von Narnia: Seine bekannteste Buchreihe, die aus sieben Bänden besteht und ein Klassiker der Kinder- und Fantasy-Literatur ist. Beispiele: Der König von Narnia (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) und Der letzte Kampf (The Last Battle). Science-Fiction-Trilogie: Die Perelandra-Reihe, die philosophische und theologische Themen in Science-Fiction verpackt. Theologische Werke: Bücher wie Pardon, ich bin Christ (Mere Christianity), Über den Schmerz (The Problem of Pain) und Dienstanweisungen an einen Unterteufel (The Screwtape Letters) machten ihn zu einem wichtigen christlichen Denker. 3. Glauben Lewis war in seiner Jugend Atheist, fand jedoch durch den Einfluss seines Freundes J. R. R. Tolkien (Autor von Der Herr der Ringe) zurück zum Christentum. Seine Bekehrung hatte einen großen Einfluss auf sein Schreiben, besonders auf seine apologetischen Werke, in denen er den christlichen Glauben verteidigte. 4. Freundschaft mit Tolkien Lewis war ein enger Freund von Tolkien, und beide waren Mitglieder der „Inklings“, einer Gruppe von Schriftstellern und Intellektuellen, die sich in Oxford trafen, um ihre Werke zu diskutieren. Tolkien schätzte Lewis' Werk, war aber skeptisch gegenüber der allegorischen Natur von Narnia. 5. Vermächtnis C. S. Lewis wird heute als einer der bedeutendsten christlichen Autoren und Denker des 20. Jahrhunderts angesehen. Seine Werke haben Millionen von Menschen inspiriert und wurden in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt. Viele seiner Bücher, insbesondere Die Chroniken von Narnia, wurden auch verfilmt. Hast du eine bestimmte Frage zu ihm oder seinen Werken?

In this special (and long-promised) episode of Fantasy for Our Time, I dive helmet-first into the final installment of Joe Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy—a.k.a. the Holy Scripture of Grimdark™ (depending who you ask). I wrestle with berserkers, battle ideologies, and gently poke the gnarled problem of evil with a theological stick.

If you feel weighed down by guilt or shame, there is hope for you. Barbara Rainey explains the solution found only in Jesus.Barbara Rainey invites us to reflect on the parts of ourselves we've always wished were different, sharing openly about her own lifelong struggle with shyness. Through storytelling—from childhood memories to passages in C.S. Lewis's Narnia—and a deep dive into John 9, Barbara reminds us that God doesn't make mistakes with our design or our past. Even the things we might view as handicaps, she says, can be purposed for God's glory. Join Barbara and host Michelle as they explore what it means to find confidence and healing through Jesus, the Son—who is, indeed, enough for every painful chapter in our story.Timestamps00:00 "Narnia Storytime"06:09 "The Paradox of a Good God"07:17 "God's Sufficiency for Your Past"12:29 "Jesus' Initiative and Compassion"15:45 Born with a Shy Nature18:06 "Embrace Your God-Given Traits"20:07 "Barbara Rainey Podcast Outro"Key Topics1.

What does a Shire full of hobbits in Middle-Earth, a county full of farmers in Kentucky, and a wardrobe full of a lion have in common? For Russell Moore and singer/songwriter/author Andrew Peterson, they were all a way to find home.    In this episode—recorded inside Peterson's book-lined Chapter House in Nashville, right down the road from Moore—the two talk about the authors who, by God's grace, helped hold their faith together when it could have come apart. From the wisdom of Wendell Berry to the imagination of C.S. Lewis to the honesty of Frederick Buechner, these authors gave a clarity that helped these two keep the faith.    This isn't just a literary conversation. It's about how God uses stories, sentences, and sometimes even sword-wielding mice to reach people in moments of doubt, disillusionment, or despair. Along the way, they talk about what it means to read widely, to hold onto wonder, and to be the kind of Christian who can still be surprised by joy.   They also somehow end up talking about Moby Dick, Dungeons & Dragons, and how ChatGPT was wrong and right about what books each of them would take to a desert island.    Books and authors mentioned in this episode include: Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry A Room Called Remember and Telling Secrets by Frederick Buechner The Chronicles of Narnia, Till We Have Faces, Mere Christianity, and more by C.S. Lewis Godric by Frederick Buechner David Copperfield by Charles Dickens Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings A Long Obedience in the Same Direction by Eugene Peterson Moby Dick by Herman Melville Reading Genesis by Marilynne Robinson The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction by Alan Jacobs And selections from Andrew's own works: Adorning the Dark, The God of the Garden, and The Wingfeather Saga Whether you're deep in faith, on the brink of losing it, or just looking for something beautiful to read, this conversation will remind you why the right book at the right moment can do more than explain—it can point to new life.

    from tardi wiki   was the eighth and final episode of Series 15 of Doctor Who. It premiered on 31 May 2025. The story featured the return of Omega in an active role as an antagonist for the first time since the Fifth Doctor story Arc of Infinity [+], now voiced by Nicholas Briggs, with this story revealing Omega's time spent trapped in the Under-Universe had physically altered and deformed him into a monstrous corpse like being. The story also shows the apparent fate of the bi-generated Rani at Omega's hands, while the Mrs Flood incarnation of the Rani escapes shortly after witnessing her successor's apparent demise. The Rani reveals how she survived the Spy Master's genocide of Gallifrey, and that the genetic explosion caused by the Spy Master had rendered any surviving Time Lords and Time Ladies completely sterile, which was why she enacted her plan to find Omega in order to save their race, though with the purpose of creating a new Gallifrey she could rule over. In addition, her ability to follow the Doctor throughout time and space is revealed to be accomplished by use of a Time Ring rather than a TARDIS. Steph de Whalley also returns as Anita Benn, where it's revealed she began working in the Time Hotel after Joy to the World [+] and had been looking for the Fifteenth Doctor, in doing so archive footage from The Wedding of River Song [+] and Day of the Daleks [+] respectfully would be used to have Anita see the Eleventh and Third Doctors when visiting the events of those stories, before archive footage of Rogue [+] is used when Anita finds an early version of the Fifteenth Doctor during the events of that story. Before departing, Anita would mention "the Boss" who was previously mentioned by Beep the Meep in The Star Beast [+]. In addition to the Doctor's previous incarnations appearing through archive footage, Jodie Whittaker makes a surprise appearance as the Thirteenth Doctor near the end of this story, marking her first appearance since The Power of the Doctor [+]. Most notably, this story was the final chronological appearance of Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor, with the story ending with his regeneration, caused by him sacrificing his current incarnation in order to bring Poppy back into existence, the Doctor's regeneration in this story was also the first time since The Parting of the Ways [+] in 2005 that the Doctor had regenerated at the end of the current series; in the revived run of the series, starting from The End of Time [+] up to The Giggle [+], the Doctor would be seen regenerating in either Christmas or New Year's specials set in between numbered series. In a twist however, The Reality War and the Fifteenth Doctor's regeneration would end with Billie Piper, having previously portrayed Ninth and Tenth Doctor companion Rose Tyler, being introduced in the final moments of the story, and with her role being left uncredited. The Doctor - Ncuti Gatwa The Doctor - Jodie Whittaker Belinda Chandra - Varada Sethu Ruby Sunday - Millie Gibson The Rani - Archie Panjabi Mrs Flood - Anita Dobson Anita Benn - Steph de Whalley Winnie Petheridge - Sam Lawton Shirley Bingham - Ruth Madeley Carla Sunday - Michelle Greenidge Conrad Clark - Jonah Hauer-King Poppy - Sienna-Robyn Mavanga-Phipps Kate Stewart - Jemma Redgrave Susan Triad - Susan Twist Christofer Ibrahim - Alexander Devrient The Vlinx - Aidan Cook Rose Noble - Yasmin Finney Melanie Bush - Bonnie Langford Cherry Sunday - Angela Wynter Voice of Omega / The Vlinx / Dalek - Nicholas Briggs Lakshmi Chandra - Nila Aalia And introducing Billie Piper Uncredited First Doctor - William Hartnell (archive footage) Second Doctor - Patrick Troughton (archive footage) Fourth Doctor - Tom Baker (archive footage) Fifth Doctor - Peter Davison (archive footage) Sixth Doctor - Colin Baker (archive footage) Seventh Doctor - Sylvester McCoy (archive footage) Guardian of the Edge - Paul McGann (archive footage) War Doctor - John Hurt (archive footage) Ninth Doctor - Christopher Eccleston (archive footage) Tenth Doctor / Fourteenth Doctor - David Tennant (archive footage) Twelfth Doctor - Peter Capaldi (archive footage) Fugitive Doctor - Jo Martin (archive footage) Crew To be added... Worldbuilding Omega and the Rani The Doctor reveals that Omega is viewed as the Original Sin of the Time Lords who has discovered time travel. He was cast out from Gallifrey because he was insane. Omega has two hearts like all Time Lords. The Underverse is a world of legends, causing Omega to change into the Mad God Titan and become his own legend. After his escape, Omega wanted to become the God of Time and feast upon Time Lords. He also immediately recognises the Doctor. The Rani has her own Time Ring and Sonic Screwdriver. The Mrs. Flood Rani later escapes with the Time Ring. UNIT Susan Triad has build her own Zero Room at UNIT floor minus 10 to use as an escape pod. UNIT can also fight using Parallax Cannons. There are a few glitches in the new world: the border between Norway and Sweden has moved seven miles east. The colour teal is more blue and actor Ernest Borgnine is still alive. Belinda and her family Belinda mentions she has an uncle named Roo living in Kerala. Her mother's name is Lakshmi. She plays a concert in Manchester. Belinda wanted to see the planet Neptune and the Big Bang before departing from the Doctor. Belinda makes the Doctor an uncle to Poppy. She reveals she met Poppy's real father when she was 21 and is named Ritchie Akingbola, though they are separated. Ruby and her family Ruby mentions that during their time together, Conrad never revealed who his father is. Cherry reveals that she likes to play poker and that Joseph is the name of her late husband. The Doctor and the TARDIS The Fifteenth Doctor mentions he can turn the TARDIS into anything. The Doctor has never been to Kerala. He also reveals that in the year 60,000, there is a planet called New New Delhi. The Fifteenth Doctor can punch regeneration energy from his hands into the Time Vortex to alter reality. However this causes him to regenerate. He can still stall the regeneration itself for a short time. The Thirteenth Doctor is unaware of what bi-generation is. The Thirteenth Doctor mentions the TARDIS having "a third strand of phenotype markers that can turn a micro-spasm". Both Doctors hope that they will always wish they had more time before regenerating. The TARDIS remembers the Fugitive Doctor, revealing her on the TARDIS console screen between the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors. The Fifteenth Doctor is surprised to see the Thirteenth, joking that "normally the other guy shows up". References The Doctor gives The Upside Down from Stranger Things and Narnia as examples about the world hidden below, or "the Underverse". Notes Jodie Whittaker revealed that one of her regrets from her tenure was that she didn't get to interact with Peter Capaldi or David Tennant during the regeneration handovers, as their scenes were filmed separately. So getting to interact with Ncuti Gatwa during his own regeneration handover was special and a highlight of coming back for her cameo. A promotional image of the Doctor and Belinda dancing with a "Happy May Day" banner in the background was released for the episode, but no such scene exists in the final episode. Jodie Whittaker wore a wig for her cameo, as she had long brown hair at the time. Russell T Davies revealed that Jodie Whittaker's codename onset was "Petrol", because he might use it as a companion name in the future. This two-parter formed Block Five of Series 15.

When a skeptical professor steps into the mind of a former student's fiancée, he discovers a surreal landscape shaped by vanity, obsession, and alarming emptiness. A sharp and unsettling exploration of how our inner worlds reveal far more than we intend. The Shoddy Lands by C. S. Lewis. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Clive Staples Lewis, one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1898. In 1917, during the height of World War I, he enlisted in the British Army and was wounded in combat less than a year later.Though best known for his beloved children's series, The Chronicles of Narnia—seven books published throughout the 1950s—Lewis also made a lasting mark with The Screwtape Letters in the 1940s, and his philosophical sci-fi epic, The Space Trilogy, written in the 1930s and '40s.While he authored more than 30 books in his lifetime, Lewis rarely ventured into short fiction. Today's featured tale marks a special occasion: his first story published in an American fantasy and science fiction magazine. From the February 1956 issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction, beginning on page 68, The Shoddy Lands by C. S. Lewis.…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A brief tale of the dismal success of a scientist's experiment.

John 14:1-3, 27 NIV“God's plan for heaven is a resurrected life in a resurrected body, with the resurrected Christ on a resurrected earth.” – Randy Alcorn, Heaven“As He spoke, He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.” – CS Lewis, The Last BattleRevelation 21:1-6 NIVWhat is missing?               No more sea               No more decay               No more templeRomans 6:5 NIV What is there?               Intimate presence of God               Us, in resurrected bodies               New city               Purpose in the present

Send us a textA junk drawer, a junk closet... or a junk garage? So many options for all the bits and pieces we tuck away and forget. In this wildly whimsical and deeply human story, we dive into the oddities of our inner clutter—the half-forgotten dreams, the rituals we abandoned, the old pence stuck to chewed-up gum, and the pink pipe we definitely didn't put there.Through Anja's playful narration and sudden detours into the surreal, The Junk Drawer becomes a metaphor for all the parts of ourselves we tend to shove aside. But what if—just maybe—that drawer holds a little magic too?✨ Join the next Dreamy Cappuccino Gathering: https://www.anjakersten.com/events

Katie Wray Schon joins us to talk about Pauline Baynes, the subject of her new book, Painting Wonder!  It's been a long-held goal of this podcast to devote at least one episode to Pauline Baynes--who, while not an Inkling, illustrated both the Narnia chronicles and many of Tolkien's short stories--in addition to being one of the best illustrators of the 20th Century. Luckily, Katie Wray Schon has just written and published a children's picture book about Baynes' life, and she joins me to talk about both her work and Baynes'. We talk about Baynes' life--her childhood in India, her discovery of storybooks at dreary British boarding school, her work for the British Navy in WWII, and her career as an illustrator. Sadly, many of the non-Narnian books Baynes illustrated or created are now out of print or hard to obtain. They include, but aren't limited to: I Believe: The Nicene Creed Noah and the Ark Questionable Creatures: A Bestiary Good King Wenceslas A Dictionary of Chivalry, by Grant Uden Miracle Plays: Seven Medieval Plays for Modern Players, by Anne Malcolmson All Things Bright and Beautiful The Arabian Nights, by Amabel Williams-Ellis The Snail and the Caterpillar, by Helen Piers Let There Be Light It would be a worthy project for someone (perhaps a new small press, or even an old, big one) to begin publishing these books again.  In the meantime, of course, pick up Katie Wray Schon's book! Thanks for listening, as always! We'll see you again in two weeks! To drop me a note or an episode suggestion, write inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com To encourage all those (okay, mainly me) who make this podcast possible, leave us (or me) a five-star review on itunes!   We've (okay, I've) got a lot more fantastic episodes coming this season, including: Leaf by Niggle with Ned Bustard and Matt Wheeler The Abolition of Man: A Roundtable Discussion Lilith, by George MacDonald The Oxford History of English Literature (O-HEL Yes!) with Katherine Wyma That Hideous Strength with Joseph Weigel Tolkien's Poetry, with Jonathan Geltner Choose-Your-Own-Adventure 80's Narnia Book (That's right), with Matt Wheeler And quite a bit more, but I am tired of listing things...

Spiritual Gifts Lesson For Kids Some of the Audio in this Episode comes from the Friend Magazine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Doctrine and Covenants Podcast for KidsBook of Mormon Podcast for KidsChurch of Jesus Christ Podcast for KidsHave you guys ever heard of a magical land called Narnia? Two brothers and two sisters found a secret door in the back of a closet that led them to a magical world called Narnia. It's a world with fantastic creatures and mythical beasts! Talking animals, giants, dwarves, dragons, & unicorns abound. In the land of Narnia, the children join a magical lion named Aslan in the fight against the evil white witch. In the story, the Lion Aslan is a representation of symbol for Jesus Christ. The Lion Aslan sacrifices himself to save a young naughty boy. Everyone is so sad. But then Aslan comes back to life. Does that sound like or remind you of Jesus? In the story, Aslan the Lion gives each of the siblings gifts so they can win the fight against evil. The oldest brother Peter receives a sword and a shield, The oldest sister Susan receives a bow and arrows and a horn, And the littlest sister Lucy is given a bottle of healing tonic. A magical medicine. Eventually, as the children use their special gifts from Aslan the Lion, they defeat the evil white witch and the land of Narnia is saved! It's a really neat story! You should read it with your parents and see if you can recognize ways the lion is the same as Jesus! Well one way the Lion Aslan is like Jesus is that Aslan gave each of the children special gifts. Did you know that our Heavenly Father and Jesus have also given each of YOU special gifts? God gives every person spiritual gifts⁠. That means He blesses us with talents through the Holy Ghost! Do you guys know what your spiritual gifts are? Are you listening to this podcast with an adult or someone else right now? If you are, ask them what your spiritual gifts are! Or if you are listening by yourself, you can pray and ask Heavenly Father.If you don't know what your spiritual gifts are, you can pray to Heavenly Father to find out! You can also work on your spiritual gifts to make them stronger! So why do we have different spiritual gifts? Heavenly Father gives us spiritual gifts to bless others!Spiritual gifts are blessings or abilities that are given by the power of the Holy Ghost. God gives at least one of these gifts to every faithful member of the Church. As you receive these gifts, they will strengthen and bless you individually and help you serve others.Talk referenced is: Elder Juan Pablo Villar's message “⁠Exercising Our Spiritual Muscles⁠” You're listening to Come Follow Me Kids!

Welcome to God’s Love for the Unlovable and Gospel Rant series and format, Vagabond Diaries. Today I want to share something special and I hope very valuable to you in your Christian walk. Did you know that ever since the Fall, humanity, all sexes, races, all socioeconomic category, whether you’ve had an easy life or hard, each us is born with a deep relentless drive for one thing. It is how we are made. It is how God wired us. You will see why in a moment. Unless and until that is satisfied, every day, we will subconsciously at least keep looking for it, be dissatisfied, and more than likely try to get the itch scratched by other counterfeits. Curious? This rant is an excerpt from my latest Tween fantasy book, hot off the press June 2, called The tale of the Orphan Magician. It is the longest and most gutsy book in the entire Kingdom Quest series to-date. Kingdom Quest philosophy is inspired by CS Lewis and his extremely popular and life changing series Chronicles of Narnia. Even though Christianity, Jesus, the cross or salvation are never mentioned directly, they are there, in the background, being imprinted on the young readers brain. The Tale of the Orphan Magician is about this one drive that all of us have—and where can we finally find satisfaction. The excerpt is a section of a talk by the storyteller for our tale, Rahgornah, an ancient Sakalon dragon who is a keeper of all history. He believes that this singular drive is the main thing behind all history. Interesting? Make sure to like and pass it on to others.Support The Show: https://www.gospelrant.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Edition No137 | 01-05-2025 - There are indications that all is not well in the dark Narnia of Trump' administration. As President Trump approaches the first 100 days of his second term, a Fox News poll suggests that core voters as well as swing voters have concerns about the direction of travel. 82% are extremely or very concerned about inflation, while a new low of 38% approve on the economy (56% disapprove). His worst ratings are on inflation (33% approve, 59% disapprove), followed by tariffs (33-58%), foreign policy (40-54%), taxes (38-53%), and guns (41-44%). About the only issue that registers satisfaction is border security, on which a majority of 55% approves. But relates to an upturn in satisfaction on the issue of immigration, but even here 47% approve of Trump while 48% disapprove. Overall approval of Trump's job performance comes in at 44%, down 5 points from 49% approval in March. This may seem extraordinary that so many still approve, given the chaos he is presiding over. But focus groups suggest that swing votes don't have the same alarm about the authoritarian slide in the US, or the catastrophic economic policies unfolding with tariffs, as experts do. As we saw in Brexit, votes may tend toward normalising the abnormal, and indeed the media is a willing accomplice in this process. It's not until the economic impact of the chaos really bites that some will reassess their views. Even then, many will seek to blame others for the issues, not the main culprit, or will continue to rationalise the problems, in order not to face the impact of their own decisions or political indifference. That's lower than the approval of Joe Biden (54%), Barack Obama (62%), and George W. Bush (63%) at the 100-day mark in their presidencies. It's also lower by 1 point compared to Trump's 45% approval at this point eight years ago.----------Links: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/china-donald-trump-white-house-new-york-massachusetts-b2741438.html----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon CurtainNEXT EVENTS - LVIV, KYIV AND ODESA THIS MAY.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

GET YOUR MULTIVERSE NEWS MERCH HERE:https://multiverse-news-shop.fourthwall.com/Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesMarvel Studios is returning to its roots and the source of its inspiration – the comics! For the first time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's history, the studio and the comic publishing arm of the company are collaborating to create a tie-in comic for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. While there have been official tie-in comics to the films before, it was a case of the comics working within the confines of what was already planned and established for the films, not a true collaboration from the ground up. To that end, Marvel has pulled out all the stops by bringing talent the likes of writer Matt Fraction, who was allowed to visit the films set along with other creators working on the comic. The comic, a one-shot that releases July 2, ahead of the film's July 25 release, is said to be designed to act as media that exists within the film's continuity.20th Century Studios released the teaser trailer for Predator: Badlands, the highly anticipated sequel to Dan Trachtenberg's Prey. The trailer, while brief at just over a minute, is jampacked with footage that includes vistas, locales, creatures and technology never seen within the franchise, including two mysterious characters: one being what seems to a Predator protagonist and Elle Fanning in an enigmatic, humanoid role who begs more questions than answers.A couple weeks ago we discussed the casting of several key figures in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series, including John Lithgow as Hogwarts Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. Now, while speaking the London Times last week, the actor revealed that he was not prepared for the resulting public outcries and backlash in response to his participation - given series creator J.K. Rowling's involvement; as Rowling's public transphobic stance and comments in recent years have been the subject of controversy. Elsewhere, David Tennant, who played Barty Crouch in the films, offered his appropriately timed insights on the author while receiving an allyship award at the British LGBT Awards, saying, “We shouldn't live in a world where that is worth remarking on — I don't wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up.” The lines between the worlds of make believe and our real one are often blurry and the decision to separate art from a problematic artist is a complicated and personal one. The review embargo has lifted on Thunderbolts* and from 107 total reviews, the film currently has a certified fresh rating of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes.The upcoming prequel Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping has cast Joseph Zada as Haymitch Abernathy and Whitney Peak as his girlfriend, Lenore Dove Baird. Mckenna Grace will play District 12 tribute Maysilee Donner, Jesse Plemons will portray a young Plutarch Heavensbee, and the film is set for release on November 20, 2026.Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for the upcoming Jenna Ortega-led series Wednesday. The series will follow a split release schedule with part 1 dropping on August 6, and part 2 to follow on September 3.Sydney Sweeney is set to star in a film adaptation of hit video game “Split Fiction” with Jon M.

The script for the movie is being written by “Deadpool & Wolverine” screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.Emma Mackey has been cast as the White Witch in Narnia, Greta Gerwig's adaptation of C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia fantasy novels.Over the weekend, “Minecraft” collected $37.8 million overseas and $60.5 million worldwide in its fourth weekend of release. Meanwhile, “Sinners” added $13.5 million internationally and $58.5 million globally in its second week. For the second consecutive weekend, Warner has nabbed the No. 1 and 2 spots on international, domestic and global box office charts.

In today's episode, we're discussing a little controversy we sparked recently over the prosperity gospel being prevalent in many majority-black churches across the country. We correct the record on what was said and bring the statistics to back us up. Lucky for us, there are plenty of black speakers and authors who are saying the same thing, despite what the race-baiters want you to believe. And Greta Gerwig, director of "Barbie" and "Little Women," is coming out with a new film adaptation of C.S. Lewis' "Narnia," and — oh no, is she really tapping Meryl Streep to play Aslan?

One of my favorite reads of 2024 was The Myth Makers by John Hendrix.This gorgeous graphic novel tells the story of the remarkable friendship of C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. I thought I already knew quite a bit about these Inklings, but there was even more to uncover.Today, I'm delighted to share my conversation with the author and illustrator of The Myth Makers, John Hendrix. We dive into his research and writing process, exploring how the threads of the story came together. In this episode, Jon shares a better definition of myth, and illustrates the differences between a myth, a fairytale, and a story. I even make him choose which series he'd rather bring to a desert island, The Chronicles of Narnia or The Lord of the Rings. In this episode, you'll hear: John's creative process for creating graphic novels How choose-your-own adventure stories inspired the The Myth Makers Why John chose the Lion and the Wizard as his main characters Learn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/john-hendrix
