In a thrilling update for fans of Netflix's hit series "Wednesday," Steve Buscemi has been confirmed to join the cast of the show's eagerly anticipated second season. According to exclusive information obtained by Variety, the celebrated actor will take on the role of the new principal of Nevermore Academy, though further details about his character remain shrouded in secrecy. Buscemi, renowned for his versatile performances across both dramatic and comedic roles, adds significant star power to the already popular series. His rich career portfolio includes memorable roles in films such as "Reservoir Dogs," "Fargo," and "The Death of Stalin," as well as his acclaimed work on television shows like "Boardwalk Empire" and "The Sopranos." His addition is expected to bring a new dynamic to the quirky and dark universe of "Wednesday." "Wednesday," which debuted in November 2022, follows Jenna Ortega in her role as the enigmatic Wednesday Addams as she navigates the complexities of teenage life at Nevermore Academy. The first season saw her tackling a series of grisly mysteries and sinister plots against her school, setting high expectations for the new season's narrative arc. Netflix representatives, as well as those from Buscemi's camp, have declined to comment on this casting development. The production of Season 2 faced delays due to industry-wide strikes last year but is slated to commence later this month in Ireland. The series is created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with Tim Burton also contributing as an executive producer and director of the initial episodes. Season 1's success led to multiple Emmy nominations, cementing "Wednesday" as a critical and fan favorite. Steve Buscemi's entry into the "Wednesday" universe not only excites fans but also promises to infuse the new season with his unique blend of charm and intensity. As the new principal, his character is poised to become a central figure in the unfolding mysteries and adventures at Nevermore Academy.

It tells the story of a tuatara longing for the wild and worried about dying who is taken home by different students per the assignment of a strict substitute teacher.Leo was released by Netflix on November 21, 2023 to generally positive reviews.Leo is a jaded old lizard with a heart of gold who's been stuck in the same Florida classroom for longer than he can remember, alongside his terrarium-mate Squirtle the turtle. He's watched generations of students come and go but feels like he's missed out on life. When Leo learns he only has one year left to live, he plans an escape to experience the world. Thanks to a new substitute teacher who task the kids with taking one classroom pet home for the weekend, Leo has a chance to escape. His hilarious attempt to head for freedom and him opening his mouth to break the one simple role that seems to be the theme in the movie, you can't let humans know animals can take, which is pretty dope, like imagine if that was the case in real life, talk about restrain. In Florida, Leo the tuatara and Squirtle the turtle are the class pets of a fifth-grade classroom at Fort Myers Elementary School and are prepared for another year with a new set of students. During a parent-teacher conference night, where the students' pregnant teacher, Mrs. Salinas, announces that she must go on maternity leave, Leo overhears one of the student's parents say that he's old, making him despair that he never accomplished anything with his life. The next day, Ms. Malkin, the students' strict, no-nonsense substitute, arrives and is quickly loathed by the students.Leo is taken home for the weekend by Summer, a girl who is highly talkative. While trying to make his escape, Leo accidentally reveals to Summer that he can talk, and suggests to her that she ask more questions after saying that her constant talking tires everyone out. As a result, Summer becomes more popular among her classmates. Soon enough, the students begin to request that they take Leo home with them, where they share with him their own personal dilemmas, to which Leo offers them life advice. Before long, each of the students have taken Leo home with them and offer them their phones so that they can keep in touch with him.Fed up with the attention Leo is getting, a jealous Squirtle decides to expose Leo by revealing that he can speak to all of them, as he lied that the only ones who could understand him are the ones he was taken home with. Feeling betrayed by this revelation, they decide to disregard him, and Ms. Malkin, having caught on that Leo can talk and that the students' changes in behavior are the result of his advice, decides to take him to her home.While at Ms. Malkin's home, Leo learns that the reason she's grouchy is because she never got to accomplish her dream of being a real teacher, always getting relegated to being a substitute. The next day, the school is having a history fair, and the students manage to win the grand prize of a field trip to Magic Land Park with their reenactments of famous historical figures. When she is praised for her work, Ms. Malkin, wanting to take all the credit, decides to abandon Leo at the Everglades, and proceeds to lie to the students by telling them that he abandoned them, much to their dismay, as they had wanted to apologize to him.As the students head to Magic Land Park, Squirtle catches up with them and reveals that Ms. Malkin lied about Leo, to which she confesses. Upon arriving at Magic Land Park, the students and Ms. Malkin hijack the bus so they can drive to the Everglades. Meanwhile, Leo, while trying to fit in with the wild animals, learns from other lizards that he can live to be more than 75 years old, reinvigorating him. While trying to find a way out, he suddenly encounters a congregation of alligators, but they are successfully scared off when the students arrive and reunite with Leo.On the final day of the school year, the graduating students ask Leo how they could get through middle school without his advice, to which he says that they just have to look out for each other. Ms. Malkin is given a full-time job as a teacher and is promptly assigned to the kindergarteners, with Leo and Squirtle as the class pets. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is an animated television series developed by Bryan Lee O'Malley and Ben David Grabinski for Netflix. The series is based on the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels written and drawn by O'Malley, with the entire main cast from the 2010 film adaptation, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, reprising their roles, while also serving as a joint sequel/remake to the graphic novel and film. The series was released on November 17, 2023, to critical acclaim.The series, set in Toronto, Canada, serves as an alternate retelling of the original Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series. Like in the original series, Scott Pilgrim, a bassist in an indie band, falls in love with Ramona Flowers, a mysterious delivery girl, attracting the attention of Ramona's seven evil exes. Things take an unexpected turn, however, when Scott loses his battle against Ramona's first evil ex Matthew Patel and is seemingly killed. As everyone's lives, including those of Ramona's evil exes, change drastically as a result, Ramona learns that Scott may still be alive and decides to investigate his disappearance.THIS COULD BE RIDICULOUS CARTOON I HAVE EVER SEEN, AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF SHITTY SHOWS, BUT THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE!This here is a peal of trash in my opinion. 8 episodes, 4 hours down the drain but what the heck do I know.  Apparently, this is an alternative ending to the original 2010 movie. I guess the cool thing is that every actor in the original repriced their role in this shit show, of course, even the original was still as stupid as this. So it's just retelling nonsense. Another cool aspect could be that it's designed like a game, it's got Mario brothers type of coins that pop out when you punch someone to death, and every fight has mortal combat or even street fight vibes.  I guess what's missing is that “finish him” aspect. This shows how impactful the Hollywood strike has been, This cabbage is considered entertaining. Now before I say anything else about this show, Romona is a whore and Scott is a creep who dated a 15-year-old. And could also be mentally disturbed. Dude faked his death and kidnapped himself, to prevent himself from marrying a girl. That's crazy but that's not even the weird part. I mean like if a future version of me kidnapped me and told me my life would be shit if I dated a particular girl, I wouldn't even question him, in fact, I would instead ask him to compel a list of match results of all the world sports so I could make a huge fortune making bets. Now that more logical and positive way to use a time machine, not waste time on some girl. Who's a whore for that matter, hey 7 ex-boyfriends are not a lot of body's. but you should question the type of men she is pulling when she breaks up with them. these fools instead of moving on start a little club, a stupid league of Exes, and their sole mission is to fight and kill Ramona's future love interests I mean how pathetic can you get. Directed by:Abel GóngoraWritten by: Bryan Lee O'MalleyVoices of: • Michael Cera• Mary Elizabeth Winstead• Satya Bhabha• Kieran Culkin• Chris Evans• Anna Kendrick• Brie Larson• Alison Pill• Aubrey Plaza• Brandon Routh• Jason Schwartzman• Johnny Simmons• Mark Webber• Mae Whitman• Ellen Wong{{Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Satya Bhabha, Kieran Culkin, Chris Evans, Anna Kendrick, Brie Larson, Alison Pill, Aubrey Plaza, Brandon Routh, Jason Schwartzman, Johnny Simmons, Mark Webber, Mae Whitman, Ellen Wong, Scott Pilgrim takes off,scott pilgrim, time travel, future self, 7 evil ex-boyfriends, evil, marriage, cartoon, anime, USA, Canadian, graphic novel, Netflix anime, Netflix, shit show, Ramona, Animation}} ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

THE QUEENSTOWN KINGS3 reasons to watch Queenstown Kings.1. It's a family-oriented movie, that focuses on repairing the broken relationship between father and son.2. This is about football, about how a small township team, achieved an impossible dream, all thanks to their prodigal son, who returns home when his father passes.3. Important life lessons, like don't rush things, give a second chance, drugs are bad for you.NOW LET'S GET TO THE PART WHERE I SPOIL THIS MOVIE! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The start of this movie almost lost me as we just had Michael Fassbender ( the protagonist in this film whose actual name is never mentioned  but, he uses various names throughout the movie,  almost Jason Bourne-type of vibes) anyway, Michael delivers a never-ending narration while he waits to execute a hit. But then when I thought about the character, it made sense.  David Fincher's ( the director, in case you wondering who that is) attention to detail throughout the entire movie is immaculate as every little thing plays an important part. This is also a very intelligent and smartly written movie that requires you to think, and for me at least, I really liked this as it made it a fun challenge to figure out certain elements in the film and to always pay attention to details.Plus the movie finds a way to make you feel like you're shadowing a real contract killer the whole time. The main character's narration is a unique touch, even in the normal everyday moments when he's constantly looking over his shoulder. The film's pace has a constant tension, with certain moments where it escalates rapidly into venomous action, yet the action never feels overdone and instead feels hyper-realistic.NOW PAY ATTENTIONI have a theory. This is a perfect misdirection trick the film creators made.You never get to know this unnamed assassin. You never get to know what makes him tick. That's the whole point.As a viewer, we normally project our own moral compass onto what we are watching. We think this is a revenge story. We think we are rooting for this character who is fighting back because his loved ones were attacked. But really,  i don't think that's the point, I think it's something darker.Now listen Throughout the movie, the killer repeats his rules. He never mentions anything personal. Nothing about his home or girlfriend. He doesn't care about anyone. People are not important. He IS a paid killer after all. The Killer tells us his job bores him at the very beginning and hopes for a chance to experiment with more creative ways of killing.He is basically telling us he is craving a challenge. I believe he subconsciously makes the error of botching up the first kill on purpose to liven up things, to see what would happen & push him to the extreme of his abilities. It's as if he has created an excuse to go on a killing spree around the world. By the end, he realizes he loves his job again. This is why he doesn't kill the client as he knows this would destroy future gigs.The final scene is him poisoning his girlfriend's coffee. The girlfriend was his only weakness & vulnerable target. His handlers immediately for her after he botched the job.  NOW he has learned this, now to avoid it from happening again he kills her.. but then again i could be wrong. ANYWAYSIn conclusion, "The Killer" is a must-watch thriller drama film that combines suspense, brilliance, and stellar performances to create an unforgettable cinematic experience. If you appreciate a well-crafted narrative that keeps you guessing until the very end, this film is a must-see. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

SLY is a work of art, it doesn't only tell a story of legendary award winning; film director, screenwriter and action hero of the 80's and 90's “SLYVESTER STALLONE.”. He has a career that spans over five decades. If that's that make you a GOAT, I don't know what will. it somehow makes him immortal and mortal at the same time.  The documentary shows, the vulnerabilities of a living legend.it shows his character not the role he played on motion picture but the man. The man behind the lens, the man before the words a written. In his purest moments. It brings out his true essences. The arrogance, the pride, the humility. The human not the millionaire and Hollywood mogul. But just a guy who had a dream, who work hard to make his dream a reality. It's beautiful. Its tear Jucker when you realise how much nonsense Hollywood movies have fallen. it's no longer about heart, passion and making relatable stories. It about making movies flashy and making tonnes of money. Story telling is a dying heart. And it's a wonderful to learn or to experience that Sly wrote, directed and produced, some of his great's moments on the big screen. To believe in yourself even when the odds are pinned against you. When they mock, ridicule you, trip and push you. That you keep on believing. For me that's really the message of this documentary and that no matter how successful you become it will always amount to nothing unless you have family and friends. Because ultimately that's what really matters. The people we love not the things we love. So, to me “Sly'', IT brings out his soul, it gives a detailed description of how much Sylvester Stallone gave it order to bring exceptional characters like Rocky Balboa and John Rambo to life. I only wish the documentary was longer.When I look back at my childhood, I look back with great fondness. It brings me to tears when I think that my father introduced to this wonderful world of movies. So, watching this and seeing sly talked about the trails and the huddlers he had to jump and cross to make these wonderful stories.I think about my father and the VCR, the tapes he rented from blockbuster and those movie rental joints.  The anticipation of waiting for Friday and the weekend because we had no electricity. So, we powered the television with a generator. Slyvester stallion. He was so good. I couldn't separate him from the characters, we'd say, things like (while growing in fact some people still do that to this day.) “The new Rambo movie or rocky movie just came out” even though he was playing a completely different role, he was RAMBO. HE WAS ROCKY. with a whole different story line.he embodied the characters. So, much that they become real. You could almost touch them, while they were on screen. These are the types of films that resonate with the audience so much that, we become so involved in the story, you cry, laugh, jump with joy and you be enraged.whenever the character expresses an emotion. Its almost as if you were there with them. Like you part of the story somehow. I think that's what made Stallone so renowned. To make it even sweeter he wrote and directed it. Wow. Man was …. No man is talented. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
