It was an interesting weekend at the box office. The big discourse was all around Melania, but we don't really care about that. What was interesting to us was the battle for the top spot between an old favorite and a YouTuber. We also talk about an exorcism movie in the White House and an upcoming movie we reviewed years ago.Teacher's Pet sounds like it is an erotic thriller. The story centers around a new high school teacher who notices and wants to help a student in his class. Naturally, things are not what they seem. Instead of a sultry suspense, the film is much more frightening.Horror taught us long ago that a great villain can take a movie a long way. Think of all the fan favorite killers that lead very popular franchises. Teacher's Pet has a strong villain that carries its basic plot. (The story may be paint-by-numbers, but it is very well written.) There are some noticeable flaws, but it is worth watching.Whistle has one of the strongest casts seen in an indie horror movie. Dafnee Keen and Nick Frost are the big names, but it also includes stars from Yellowjackets, Rebel Moon, and the upcoming Hunger Games movies. Even better, no one phones in their performances. There may not be much to the characters, but they are fun.The film is a typical high school slasher filled with corny lines, unrequited love, and infighting. The kills are amazing and how the killer commits their acts is a cool idea. But after a very strong first two acts, the story relies on a very familiar crutch and almost ruins everything.

In aflevering #244 van Nerd Culture schuiven we de vertrouwde dynamiek aan de kant voor een frisse blik. Terwijl Jelle zijn koffers pakt voor een welverdiende vakantie naar Azië en Koos alvast druk in de weer is met het schilderen van de babykamer, nemen Huey en Skate de honneurs waar. Ze hebben het onder andere over de nominaties voor de BAF(haha)TA's, maar dat is slechts het begin van een aflevering vol komkommernieuws en krulsnor draaien. Huey bezocht bewapend met zijn Cineville-pas de bioscoop en geeft een vlijmscherpe analyse van Hamnet. Je kan (jij wel) luisteren naar Skate zijn recensie van Sound of Metal en Huey bekeek de laatste Game of Thrones spin-off: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Zo krijgt de aflevering precies de juiste balans tussen prestige en pulp.De BAFTA'sIn deze aflevering duiken we in de prestigieuze wereld van de BAFTA's, naar aanleiding van de vers onthulde nominaties voor de belangrijkste Britse filmprijzen. Een perfect excuus om de balans op te maken: wie zijn de grote kanshebbers, hoe kan Best Film niet Best Director winnen én wat zegt de Britse Academy over de kanshebbers bij de Oscars? We staan daarbij stil bij het 'probleem' van One Battle After Another, die twee nominaties voor Best Supporting Actor binnensleept. We bespreken hoe deze strijd tussen de castleden Sean Penn en Benicio del Toro de kansen op winst beïnvloedt: vullen ze elkaar aan in de campagne, of vissen ze in dezelfde vijver, waardoor de stemmen versnipperd raken?Met de Cineville naar HamnetOok staan we stil bij het meest recente uitstapje van Huey, die zijn Cineville-pas weer eens tevoorschijn toverde voor de film Hamnet. De film trekt de aandacht door de indrukwekkende cast en de rauwe, emotionele vertelling rondom de zoon en vrouw van de wereldberoemde toneelschrijver William Shakespeare. Hamnet combineert historisch drama met een universeel verhaal over rouw, creativiteit en de kracht van familiebanden in het zestiende-eeuwse Engeland. Tot zover de Volkskrant, want Huey vond het helemaal ruk. Hij deelt zijn ervaringen uit de zaal en samen met Skate analyseert hij of deze boekverfilming de hooggespannen verwachtingen waarmaakt of dat het enkel bij een goed einde blijft.Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #24400:02:00 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd?00:02:06 The Sound of Metal 00:06:01 A Knight of Seven Kingdoms00:12:43 Hamnet 00:21:23 BAFTA nominaties00:27:42 Kleurcorrectie DBZ volledig gerestaureerd door fans00:33:32 Had Skate een Chia Pet?00:36:05 Lee Cronin's (Hole in the Ground, Evil Dead Rise) The Mummy 00:42:22 Avatar 3 verliest koppositie Box-office00:45:04 James Gunn verdedigt screenwriter The Brave and the Bold00:51:55 Eerste beelden Jason Momoa als Lobo in Supergirl00:52:34 One Battle After Another heeft een Oscar (luxe) probleem00:54:24 First Look Henry Cavill Highlander reboot00:56:17 Release date Varanasi: mix tussen James Bond en Indiana Jones00:59:48 Nick Frost manifesteerde zijn rol als Hagrid01:01:44 Melania Docu kaartverkoop in de UK momenteel op 3.01:03:09 Mainstream pers niet welkom bij première Melania docu01:03:23 Absolute Batman komt met vervanger Batmobile01:04:39 Kijktip van Skate01:06:56 Kijktips van Huey

Stephen Palmer (Asian Cinema Film Club podcast) and Alistair Ryder (Zavvi ) return to Flixwatcher to review Stephen's choice Fighting with My Family. Fighting with My Family (2019) is a biographical comedy drama about the real-life WWE wrester Paige and her brother as they are discovered and train to be professionals. It stars Florence Pugh as Saraya "Paige" Bevis, Lena Headey as Julia "Sweet Saraya Knight" Hamer, Nick Frost as Patrick "Rowdy Ricky Knight" Bevis, Jack Lowden as Zak "Zodiac Knight" Bevis, Vince Vaughn as Hutch Morgan, a recruiter and coach for the WWE with a guest appearance Dwayne Johnson as himself/The Rock. Born into a tight-knit wrestling family, Paige and her brother Zak are ecstatic when they get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try out for the WWE. But when only Paige earns a spot in the competitive training program, she must leave her loved ones behind and face this new cutthroat world alone. Paige's journey pushes her to dig deep and ultimately prove to the world that what makes her different is the very thing that can make her a star. Putting Norwich on the map, Fighting with My Family is an easy-going and fun film, mainly due to Florence Pugh's energy as Paige. Recommendability scores for Fighting with My Family were strong to give an overall rating of 3.76. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Nick Frost and Alicia Silverstone burn the house down in fascinating style!

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the official beginning of filming on the Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      2:00 Leaked Dursley photos. They look authentic for the time, and the book. This is part of a larger idea of separating the films from the core of the fandom, and instead bringing the books back to the foreground. Looking at these photos, I don't see Richard Griffiths and Fiona Shaw, but rather Vernon and Petunia Dursley.·      17:29 Harry! Big news: we got the first official look at Domonic McGlaughlin as Harry Potter. He is holding the clicker-thingy with all these official markings like “scene 1, take 1” and all that. Domonic doesn't look like Harry, but Dan Radcliffe does. That might be pointing to the fact that now the TV show is going for a much more specific goal.·      24:18 Hagrid! Nick Frost as Hagrid was also in an official release. He doesn't look as bushy as Robbie Coltrane, but his clothes defiantly look similar. He has a striped shirt underneath and a thick green coat on top. His face is much brighter. Does that point to a difference in character?Having anything you want to hear or say?

Grab your cricket bat, raid the fridge for a cold one, and head to the Winchester, because this week, the Born to Watch crew are diving deep into one of the smartest and most beloved horror-comedies of all time with their Shaun of the Dead (2004) review.With G-Man MIA (probably off playing Tekken in the shed), Matt and Sir Dimmy hold the fort to break down Edgar Wright's 2004 cult classic that reanimated the zombie genre and redefined the zombie flick with a pint of bitter and a dash of British wit.In this week's episode, the lads explore how Shaun of the Dead walks the tightrope between gore and giggles, creating a film that works just as well as a slacker comedy as it does a horror satire. Damo admits to confusing it with The World's End (don't worry, he's new here), while Matt reveals he's seen the film nearly 20 times and could watch it on loop, especially with a packet of pork crackle and a Pepsi Max.From the iconic walk to the shop (twice), to the Queen-backed zombie beatdown in the Winchester, the boys dissect every major scene with the kind of reverence usually reserved for Tarantino or Scorsese. They also dig into Simon Pegg's breakout role as the titular Shaun, Nick Frost's glorious (and infuriating) turn as Ed, and the supporting cast of Britcom legends including Lucy Davis, Dylan Moran, and the ever-reliable Bill Nighy.They ask all the important questions:Is Shaun actually a zombie at the start of the film, who awakens into humanity?Could a pub really be the best place to ride out the apocalypse?And how the hell did Shaun survive that crowd of flesh-eaters outside the Winchester?Damo goes full philosopher, questioning the human condition in the age of smartphones (spoiler: we're all zombies), while Matt wonders why anyone would throw priceless vinyl at the undead.But it's not all jokes and Queen sing-alongs, the episode also touches on the emotional beats of the film, like Shaun's relationship with his mum and stepdad, the heartbreak of watching loved ones turn, and the surprisingly poignant ending that still manages to sneak in one last gag.The boys also fire off rapid takes in “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly,” with highlights like:The perfect pacing and editing of the dual morning walk sequencesThe underappreciated brilliance of the bizarro “mirror crew” sceneAnd Ed's ability to be the most annoying – yet somehow still likeable – flatmate in cinema historyThrow in some choice reviews from critics (both good and hilariously bad), box office trivia, and the revelation that director Edgar Wright used just $4 million to craft a film that grossed over $30 million and launched a thousand pub-themed Halloween costumes, and you've got yourself one hell of a breakdown.Oh, and yes, the team briefly wonders why cricket bats are now over $1,000, a real horror show.So whether you're a diehard fan of the Cornetto Trilogy or new to the undead scene, this episode is a must-listen.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Is Shaun of the Dead the best zombie comedy ever made?Would you ride out the apocalypse in a pub? And what's the best record to throw at a zombie?#BornToWatch #ShaunoftheDead #EdgarWright #SimonPegg #ZombieComedy #BritishHumour #HorrorComedy #NickFrost #CornettoTrilogy #MoviePodcast

I saw the How to Train Your Dragon live-action remake… and I have thoughts.In this episode, I unpack why this remake felt like a clunky cosplay of the original. From jarring diversity choices in a Viking village, to Gobber's wild prosthetic downgrade, to live-action humans moving like they're dodging foam axes at a Renaissance fair—it's all here.I talk about:• Why DEI casting broke immersion• Why the animation >>> live-action• Nick Frost as Gobber (and why I miss Craig Ferguson)• Mason Thames as Hiccup vs. Jay Baruchel• The awkward parent moment in the fire trial scene• And why scene-for-scene remakes can feel like lazy cinemaDon't worry, it's not all fire and brimstone—I give credit where it's due: Gerard Butler still brings the heat, and Julian Dennison made me laugh out loud.If you saw the remake, you'll get it. If you haven't… maybe just rewatch the 2010 classic.

This week, The Filmlosophers are flying high as they passionately discuss DreamWorks' latest live-action adaptation, How to Train Your Dragon (2025)! The crew is practically waxing poetic, applauding the studio's incredible efforts to not only successfully adapt a beloved animated property but also deliver something genuinely unique – an experience that, unlike a certain "House of Mouse," feels fresh and distinct from its animated predecessor. From the breathtaking visuals to the heartfelt storytelling, they'll dissect what makes this adaptation soar and why it's setting a new standard for live-action remakes. And speaking of confusion (perhaps from all the excitement!), Host Eddie, in the spirit of recent scheduling mayhem, decides to put the other hosts to the ultimate test. Get ready for a fun and perplexing game of "Guess the Movie from the Poorly Explained Plot!" Join us as we celebrate a truly successful live-action adaptation and a hilarious challenge of cinematic deduction! So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's high-flying dragon ride of an episode of The Filmlosophers!

For this week's main podcast review, Josh Parham, Katie Johnson & Joselyn Safadi join me to review and discuss "How To Train Your Dragon" starring Mason Thames, Gerard Butler, Nico Parker, Nick Frost, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz & Murray McArthur. A remake of the Academy Award-nominated animated feature of the same name from 2010, the live-action remake skews so closely to the original film that we're left wondering if there's any justification for its existence beyond the studio to make money.

Angela and Nick welcome an actor who definitely knows his way around a kitchen. Nick Frost is an actor, comedian and screenwriter and the first (and possibly only) participant in a Dish chop-off! Frost joins us after the release of his new film, How To Train Your Dragon, a live action remake of the hugely popular animated film series, based on Cressida Cowell's books. The movie sees him star as the popular blacksmith Gobber alongside Gerard Butler, Mason Thames and Nico Parker.  You will know Nick Frost from a range of TV and film roles, including the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End) alongside his good pal and long-time collaborator Simon Pegg. Frost also appeared with Pegg in the cult TV comedy Spaced. Other TV and film credits include Attack the Block, Paul, Truth Seekers, Green Wing, The Adventures of Tintin and Fighting With My Family, alongside costar Florence Pugh.  Nick loves life in a kitchen, having worked as a chef before getting into acting. His passion for food is beautifully detailed in his memoir/recipe book, A Slice Of Fried Gold, which is now available in paperback. Having met Angela once before, Frost finally gets to have a full conversation with her (and Nick) over a delicious meal of spicy barbecued lamb with minty tomato & watermelon relish, with Angela marinating the meat overnight for extra flavour. Nick opts for a Fanta, but for wine-lovers our Waitrose experts recommend a glass of PepperBox Shiraz.  At our request, Nick brought his favourite kitchen knife to the record for a demonstration of his chopping skills alongside Angela. Our hosts dig into Nick's passion for great tasting food (and clean surfaces), and get  the lowdown on the world's best pizza, discovered by Nick in Belfast.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish We can't all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help.  Send your dilemmas to dish@waitrose.co.uk and she'll try to answer them in a future episode.Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions.

Nick Frost, the new Hagrid, is already getting harassed over his association with JK Rowling. He's locked down his Instagram comments, but is also saying he doesn't agree with her opinions after being pressed by a journalist.

Guess what, there's another reason to question the existence of the PS5 Pro! The Sony Sate of Play was pretty solid today, and its mainly due to the James Bond game trailer. Microsoft pushes back its handheld plans, Nintendo keeps it close to the vest, and Activision has a blunder. Plus Netflix has its Tudum, Mark Hamill shares his future, and thank god we don't live in the Michael Bay Superman Timeline. Plus my review of Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes.Last week Disney pushed Avengers: Doomsday from its May 1, 2026 release to December 18, 2026 and Avengers: Secret Wars from May 7, 2027 to December 18, 2027. The studio also removed several unannounced Marvel titles from its release calendar: a February 13, 2026 dated release has been removed entirely while November 2026 and 2027 releases have been rebranded from untitled Marvel films, to untitled Disney films.Memorial Day weekend's $326.7 million haul at the domestic box office was enough to earn it the title of the highest grossing Memorial Day weekend ever, with newcomer, Disney's live action Lilo & Stitch remake leading the way with $183 million, overtaking Top Gun: Maverick's $160 million weekend from 2022. Speaking of Tom Cruise, he was no slouch either, with the Mission: Impossible franchise's latest and supposed final installment, The Final Reckoning, earning a franchise high of $77.5 million.While appearing on a recent episode of The Box Office Podcast, Ryan Reynolds revealed he pitched an R-rated Star Wars film to Disney, saying, “I pitched to Disney, I said, ‘Why don't we do an R-rated “Star Wars” property? It doesn't have to be overt, A+ characters. There's a wide range of characters you could use,'” he said. “And I don't mean R-rated to be vulgar. R-rated as a Trojan horse for emotion. I always wonder why studios don't want to just gamble on something like that.” The Deadpool actor clarified the film would not be for him to star in, but contribute behind the scenes by writing and producing. Notably absent from the conversation is Disney's reception to the pitch.After an extensive search auditioning more than 30,000 actors, HBO's Harry Potter series has finally found its Harry, Hermoine and Ron, as Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout have been cast in the respective roles. Much like their predecessors from the films, our three leads are relative newcomers, with McLaughlin appearing alongside Hagrid-actor Nick Frost in the upcoming Sky comedy, Grow, and Stanton having starred as Matilda in Matilda The Musical on West End from 2023 to 2024, while this will be Stout's first significant role.Kieran Culkin has been cast as Caesar Flickerman in Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.The reboot of medical comedy Scrubs from Bill Lawrence and ABC currently in development has officially cast Zach Braff who will return to the series to reprise the role of JD, a character he played for 9 seasons.A24 confirmed Alex Garland will write and direct a live-action Elden Ring film with Bandai Namco Entertainment. The acclaimed game won the 2022 Game of the Year Award and has sold over 30 million copies.The Wheel of Time has been canceled after three seasons at Amazon‘s Prime Video. The series, from Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios and based on Robert Jordan's best-selling series of fantasy novels, aired its third-season finale on April 17.James Gunn confirmed DC Studios will attend Comic-Con this year(July 24-27) with a panel focusing on Peacemaker season 2. The new season will feature another dance sequence in its opening credits, like season 1.Marvel and DC will be collaborating on a crossover comic between characters for the first time in two decades. A series of one shot comics will be released in September of this year featuring a crossover between Deadpool and Batman, with more character crossovers planned for next year.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review, where this week we lock, stock, and double-tap our way into the gloriously over-the-top world of Hot Fuzz (2007), the second film in Edgar Wright's beloved Cornetto Trilogy. With an outrageous body count and a razor-sharp script, it's a love letter to action movies — by way of twee English village life.Directed by Edgar Wright and written by Wright and Simon Pegg, Hot Fuzz stars Simon Pegg as Nicholas Angel, a no-nonsense London supercop who's so good at his job that he's making everyone else look bad. As a result, he's reassigned to the sleepy village of Sandford, where crime seems suspiciously low — and the residents suspiciously Stepford.Teamed up with the bumbling but big-hearted PC Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), Angel initially struggles with Sandford's slower pace — until a series of grisly “accidents” reveals something darker lurking beneath the surface. Cue a rampage of pensioners, hidden agendas, and a spectacular finale with more gunfire than the M25 at rush hour.This is one we could all agree on: Hot Fuzz is a near-perfect comedy that rewards repeat viewings. It's cleverly constructed, endlessly quotable (“The greater good!”), and absolutely packed with details that make it a joy to dissect. Whether you're a fan of action movies, British humour, or seeing Timothy Dalton with a smug smile and a hedge trimmer, there's something here for you.Hot Fuzz takes the quiet menace of rural England and sets it ablaze with blockbuster spectacle and sharp comedy. It's both homage and original, firing on all cylinders from start to finish. If you like your action with a side of Bakewell tart and local shop for local people energy, this one's a must-watch.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesMarvel Studios kickoffs of the summer blockbuster season in just 2 weeks with the release of Thunderbolts* on May 2. With tickets now on sale, box office tracking and projections ahead of the film's release are forecasting a solid, if not somewhat soft, opening weekend; with most estimates landing between $63 to $77 million. While that is on the lower side for an MCU movie, optimists believe the general lower level of familiarity with the characters on the roster, combined with the positive test screenings, could give the film significant potential and room to grow in subsequent weeks via word of mouth. Elsewhere, Captain America actor Anthony Mackie offered some insights on Avengers: Doomsday while promoting Twisted Metal Season 2 for Peacock, saying, “It's going to give the audience that old Marvel feeling that they always had.”​The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the introduction of a new Oscar category for Achievement in Stunt Design, set to debut at the 100th Academy Awards in 2028, honoring films released in 2027. This decision follows years of advocacy from industry professionals, including director and former stuntman David Leitch and stunt coordinator Chris O'Hara, who was notably credited as the first official "stunt designer" for his work on The Fall Guy. While the specific criteria and presentation details are yet to be finalized, this move is seen as a significant step toward recognizing the creative and technical artistry of stunt professionals in filmmaking. However, there is notable disappointment that earlier works, such as Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible series, will not be eligible for this new recognition.​HBO has officially announced the adult cast for its upcoming Harry Potter TV series, confirming several roles and actors we've discussed, along with new additions. John Lithgow will portray Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer is cast as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu takes on Severus Snape, and Nick Frost will play Rubeus Hagrid. Additionally, Luke Thallon has been cast as Professor Quirinus Quirrell, and Paul Whitehouse will portray Argus Filch. Casting for the central trio—Harry, Ron, and Hermione—is still underway, with over 32,000 children auditioning for these iconic roles. In an interview with Deadline, Warner Bros' Mike De Luca and Pam Abby confirmed that the studio is moving forward with sequels to A Minecraft Movie and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. This weekend, A Minecraft Movie crossed a half a billion dollars at the global box office.A24 has released the first trailer for Ari Aster's Eddington, which stars Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, and Emma Stone. The film will premiere next month at the Cannes Film Festival and then will release in theaters on July 18th.Comedian Nate Bargatze will host the 77th annual Emmy awards which will be held on September 14th The Last of Us season 2 debuted to 5.3 million viewers, a 13% increase from the season 1 premiere.Insider Jeff Sneider is reporting that a remake of the 1988 horror cult classic Killer Klowns From Outer Space is in the works at MGM with Ryan Gosling attached to produce. This scoop is currently unconfirmed at this time.Jurassic Park star Sam Neill has joined the cast of the upcoming Godzilla x Kong monsterverse sequel which will be directed by Grant Sputore.Ahead of Star Wars Celebration this weekend, a new Darth Vader novel titled Master of Evil from author Adam Christopher has been announced which will release on November 11th.

Does an excellent supporting cast (Tanya Reynolds, Jacob Anderson, Nick Frost and Aneurin Barnard) get enough to do? And will the fast cuts and repetition leave them confused or swooning? Find out!

We also talk about the Tom Cruise effect while filming, going from class clown to actor, and his most valuable acting advice from Jeff Bridges.
