Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Bettany

In this episode, Chris Cochrane guest-hosts for his brother Ray and devotes the whole show to one event: Disney’s D23 2026 fan convention in Anaheim. Friday night delivered Marvel’s new X-Men cast, Adam Driver as Mister Sinister, a fresh Avengers: Doomsday trailer, and a release date for Frozen 3. Saturday turned to the parks, with Villains Land, an Indiana Jones dark ride, the long-awaited Expedition Everest yeti repair, and a Monsters Inc land opening in 2027. – Want to start a podcast?

Instead of six or eight unrelated stories, the entire episode covers Disney’s D23 convention, which he compares to Apple’s WWDC. For newcomers, he notes that D23 is Disney’s official fan club, named for the company’s founding year of 1923. This year’s event ran two nights at the Honda Center: Friday for movies and television, Saturday for the theme parks. Marvel Finally Casts the X-Men Friday’s headline was the X-Men. The Associated Press put the crowd near 12,000, and Marvel Studios used that stage to name its rebooted team. Christopher Abbott plays Professor Charles Xavier, Inde Navarrette plays Rogue, and Maya Boyd plays Storm. Adam Driver rounds out the group as the villain Mister Sinister. Meanwhile, Samara Weaving, Kit Connor, and Sadie Sink were already known as Emma Frost, Cyclops, and Jean Grey. Jake Schreier directs, and the film arrives May 5, 2028. Chris calls the lineup spot-on casting. He singles out Weaving as a perfect match for the comics, and he points out that Sink already appeared as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Navarrette is the least established name, coming off a breakout role in an indie horror film. Boyd, meanwhile, was the name he knew least, with what he believes is a Broadway background. Above all, Chris hopes Marvel does the team justice, and he recommends the animated revival X-Men ’97 on Disney+ as the best place to start. Frozen 3 Gets a Date and a Chaotic Reveal Frozen 3 lands November 24, 2027. That is the Wednesday of Thanksgiving week, the same slot the first two films used. The story centers on Anna and Kristoff’s wedding, which a new villain, an evil Ice Queen, disrupts. Jennifer Lee returns to direct with Trent Correy, and the full voice cast is back. However, the reveal itself fell apart. Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel performed a darker arrangement of “Frozen Heart.” Meanwhile, the audio failed, the video failed, and a set of doors never opened. Menzel asked the crowd whether they should try it again, and Bell simply narrated everything that was supposed to happen. Afterward, Josh Gad sang “Oooh, Samantha,” a new love song for Olaf. Chris is here for it, since Olaf is one of the franchise’s best comic characters. Pixar, Disney Animation, and the Rest of Friday Night Pixar chief Pete Docter laid out a packed slate. Incredibles 3 hits summer 2028 and follows Violet and Dash sneaking out at night to fight crime. Chris hopes that finally shows a grown-up Jack-Jack. Coco 2 follows in November 2029 with Benjamin Bratt returning as Ernesto de la Cruz. That has fans puzzling over how a villain already in the Land of the Dead comes back. Additionally, Pixar showed an original called Ghost Market and a Venice-set cat film called Gatto. On the Disney Animation side, Zootopia 3 is confirmed. The live-action Tangled arrives March 31, 2028 with Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel. Chris considers that casting perfect after her turn in Agatha All Along. A live-action Lilo & Stitch sequel, a new Simpsons movie, a Bluey movie, and a Kingdom Hearts anime series round out the list. For Star Wars fans, Ahsoka returns January 20, 2027. Chris also offers a hot take: he prefers Rogue One to the entire sequel trilogy. Consequently, he welcomes original stories like Ryan Gosling’s upcoming Starfighter. Adam Driver Is Mister Sinister Driver appeared by video rather than in person. He told the crowd that he and Kevin Feige had talked for years about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then he announced he would play Magneto. After a long pause, he corrected himself to Nathaniel Milbury, which is Mister Sinister’s human alias. The gag landed because fans had floated Driver for Magneto for years. For anyone new to the comics, Chris explains that Mister Sinister is a geneticist obsessed with mutant DNA, a manipulator rather than a brawler. The cast met backstage only minutes earlier, so Chris is curious how their chemistry develops. Notably, Christopher Abbott previously worked with Driver on HBO’s Girls. The script comes from Beef creator Lee Sung Jin and The Bear co-showrunner Joanna Calo, two prestige-television names that have Chris excited. Why the X-Men Took Thirty Years to Reach the MCU A business story underlies the casting. In the 1990s, a financially struggling Marvel sold film rights to raise cash. Fox ended up with the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, and Sony took Spider-Man. As a result, Marvel Studios built its connected universe from 2008 onward without some of its most famous characters. The Hugh Jackman era of X-Men films belonged to Fox, with a separate continuity and no crossovers. That changed in 2019, when Disney closed its $71 billion purchase of 21st Century Fox’s film and television studio. Most coverage framed the deal as a streaming play, but it also brought the X-Men home. Chris sums it up neatly: Disney signed the paperwork in 2019, cast the film in 2026, and audiences see it in 2028. Ryan Gosling’s Starfighter, Ghost Rider, and VisionQuest Lucasfilm dated Star Wars: Starfighter for May 28, 2027. Gosling plays Kade Auberon, a pilot from the wrong side of the galaxy tied to the fastest starfighter ever built. Before he walked out, Disney played clips of him as a kid on The Mickey Mouse Club. Gosling said the company changed his life then and is changing it again now. He is also playing Ghost Rider in the Marvel universe. That thrills Chris, since Nicolas Cage last carried the character on the big screen. Meanwhile, the Disney+ series VisionQuest arrives October 14. Paul Bettany returns as Vision and James Spader as Ultron, and the trailer drops the two androids into oddly mundane human situations. Bettany joked that Vision has “rather inconveniently died several times.” Chris agrees the character has been through the wringer since WandaVision. The Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Avengers: Doomsday opens December 18, with Joe and Anthony Russo directing. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Hayley Atwell introduced the new footage. It offers the clearest look yet at Downey as Doctor Doom, who fights off Thor and takes his hammer. Evans appears as Captain America holding a baby, and Ian McKellen shows up as a haggard, long-haired Magneto. One quieter shot has Doom staring at a portrait of a lost wife and child. That frames him as a grieving avenger rather than a world-ender. He also commands an army of comic-accurate Sentinels. The cast pulls from the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the legacy Fox X-Men, including Patrick Stewart. Hugh Jackman also appeared on screen to say he is willing to return as Wolverine, though that was not a confirmation. Chris, a self-described Marvel nerd, closes with a theory. He suspects the MCU’s Tony Stark was actually Victor von Doom, adopted by the Starks, which would explain the Downey casting. He also predicts the Fox-era X-Men die off in this film and that Thor may be the major casualty. If it happens, he wants credit for calling it.

Disney Parks Around the World Saturday’s Disney Experiences showcase covered parks, resorts, and cruise ships, with Neil Patrick Harris hosting. Hong Kong Disneyland gets an Avengers pavilion that reshapes its Stark Expo skyline. Shanghai Disneyland is building the first land devoted entirely to Spider-Man, complete with a new coaster. Since Spider-Man is his favorite hero, Chris hopes to visit once it opens. Closer to home, Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is doubling in size with two rides opening in 2028. Avengers: Infinity Defense brings back Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Chris Hemsworth, and Downey, while Stark Flight Lab adds Brie Larson. A Coco boat ride into the Land of the Dead is also coming, with no height requirement. Chris admits he prefers California Adventure to Disneyland because the rides are better. Overseas, Disneyland Paris will retire its Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain overlay at the end of 2027 and restore the original Jules Verne theme. Paris also gets the first ride ever based on The Lion King. Tokyo Disneyland adds Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue, the first Wreck-It Ralph ride, plus a Space Mountain launch sequence designed with YouTuber Mark Rober. Finally, Disney Cruise Line announced three more ships, including the Disney Believe in 2027 and an entirely new class in 2029. Back in Anaheim, Tomorrowland is getting reimagined, which Chris welcomes because the land badly needs an update. The Magic Happens parade and the Remember Dreams Come True fireworks are both returning. For the tech crowd, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run now has a Fortnite crossover, where in-game missions unlock content on the real ride. Every New Walt Disney World Ride and Land Chris ranks the Florida parks Hollywood Studios first, then Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom leads the announcements with Villains Land, now the official name. It features a Maleficent coaster through an enchanted briar and a boat ride through the Evil Queen’s catacombs. Reporting puts its scale near Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and Glenn Close appeared in character as Cruella to announce it. Piston Peak, the Cars area replacing Tom Sawyer Island, adds two more rides, though their exact names remain unsettled. Additionally, the Carousel of Progress gets new scenes and a recast. Jamie Lee Curtis and Bryan Cranston will voice Mom and Dad starting late spring 2027. Chris, invoking Heisenberg, calls Cranston the GOAT. At Animal Kingdom, the Indiana Jones ride now has a name: Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent. It tells an original 1950 story inside a Maya temple, and Harrison Ford personally served as the physical model for the animatronic. Nearby, the Tropical Americas land brings Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto, with more than fifty animal animatronics and no height requirement. Then comes the fix park regulars have wanted for years. The Expedition Everest yeti broke soon after the ride opened. Rather than fix it, Disney lit it with a strobe for over a decade, earning the nickname disco yeti. Now it is being repaired and returned to full motion. Chris rates Everest among his top five rides anywhere, and he suggests riding it before the fix so you can compare. Over at Epcot, Spaceship Earth gets its first major story rewrite in nearly twenty years, shifting from communication history to human connection. Dreamfinder also returns to Journey Into Imagination, and Disney Experiences chairman Thomas Mazloum introduced that news with two words: “we heard you.” Mazloum added that Disney has more projects underway than at any point in its history. After this rundown, Chris believes him. Monsters Inc Land Opens in 2027 Monstropolis begins opening at Hollywood Studios in early 2027, but in stages. The headline door coaster will not be ready on day one. It is the first suspended coaster in any Disney park. It also uses Disney’s first vertical lift, hauling riders about forty feet straight up before launching them into the door vault. Instead, the land opens with the Glob Theater’s “Welcome to Monstropolis” show and Harryhausen’s, a working sushi restaurant lifted from the first film. The stage show features an original song by Randy Newman, his first ever written for a theme park attraction. Chris also notes that the restaurant name honors stop-motion legend Ray Harryhausen. Wrapping up, Chris names the X-Men casting and the Doomsday trailer as his favorite moments of the weekend. He hopes to cover more movie news on future shows, and he plugs Dune: Part Three, which also opens December 18.

Phil and Emily are joined by Emmy-winning Hacks creator Lucia Aniello for Lars von Trier's Dogville (2003). Nicole Kidman's fugitive Grace hides out in a Depression-era Rocky Mountain town staged entirely with chalk outlines on a bare soundstage, and the townsfolk's charity slowly curdles into something monstrous. Paul Bettany, Lauren Bacall, Chloë Sevigny, Patricia Clarkson, and James Caan fill out von Trier's three-hour moral experiment, narrated with dry glee by John Hurt.The three dig into the chalk-outline staging as both radical theater and pure provocation, Kidman spending her post-Hours Oscar heat on the least commercial project imaginable, and where the film's brutal final turn lands two decades on. There's a real case here for reading Dogville as the most savage thing ever built to look like a filmed stage play. Cruel, funny, and unlike anything else same as the movie.Follow the show & guest:Podcast Like It's... - https://www.instagram.com/podcastlikeitsPhil Iscove - https://www.instagram.com/pmiscoveEmily St. James - https://www.instagram.com/emilystjamsLucia Aniello - https://www.instagram.com/luciaaniellosetfits

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.At D23 last week, Disney's fan event showcasing much of their upcoming film and tv projects, we were at last treated to a full trailer for VisionQuest, which will debut October 14 on Disney+. The third and final installment of the trilogy that includes WandaVision and Agatha All Along, VisionQuest looks like it will send us on a trippy ride with The Vision, played by Paul Bettany. Those of us angsting for Avengers: Doomsday story crumbs were also treated with a special look presented for the December blockbuster. The shorter trailer, which was first shown at San Diego Comic Con, starts with dialogue from Sue Storm, indicating our MCU Fantastic Four team is connected to Robert Downey, Jr.'s Victor von Doom.One of the most anticipated announcements in MCU history took place at D23, when Marvel Studios exec Kevin Feige announced the cast of the upcoming X-Men film. The cast includes Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Christopher Abbott as Professor Charles Xavier, and Maya Boyd as Storm. Adam Driver will be playing the villainous Mr. Sinister. The movie will be released on May 5, 2028 nearly 10 years after the Disney acquisition of Fox Studios and will kick off the three MCU movies coming out in 2028. The other big nerd-dom announcement at D23 was the release of a first trailer for Ahsoka season 2, which will premiere on January 20, 2027, on Disney+. Lars Mikkelson's Thrawn returns as the big bad for the Rebel Alliance, while in a galaxy truly far, far, away, Ahsoka and Sabine battle themselves and mystic threats while coming face to face with what it means to be a Jedi. This look at the show may clue us in as to why the debut date got pushed to next year. Shawn Levy and Ryan Gosling were also at D23 where a clip from Star Wars: Starfighter was shown, but has not yet been released publicly.Peacock has released the first trailer for season 2 of The Office spin off The Paper. The full season drops on September 9. At D23, Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed to Deadline that Johnny Depp is in early talks to reprise his role as Jack Sparrow in an upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean reboot. Sources also emphasize that Depp will serve as a side character, not a central character in the upcoming film. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has passed the $2 billion dollar mark after just 3 weeks in theaters, becoming the eighth film in history to hit the benchmark. The film is the second fastest to hit this mark only behind Avengers: Endgame. At D23, Disney offered up the first look at the live action adaptation of Tangled, which stars Teagan Croft, Milo Manheim, and Kathryn Hahn. The studio also announced a release date of March 31, 2028. Hayden Panettiere, known for her roles on shows such as Heroes and Nashville has died at the age of 36. At D23, Pixar showed off some very early concept art for Incredibles 3 and Coco 2. Incredibles 3 will debut on June 16, 2028 and Coco 2 is currently set for a November 2029 release. HBO has announced a season 2 renewal for It: Welcome to Derry, the It prequel series from Warner Bros. Television and executive producers Andy and Barbara Muschietti. At D23, Disney showed some early images of the live action Lilo & Stitch 2, which currently has a release date of May 28, 2028.

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! — the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: is it a bomb?This week, the guys set sail for one of the most ambitious and accomplished films of the 21st century with Peter Weir's Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. Released in 2003, this sprawling naval epic follows Captain Jack Aubrey and the crew of HMS Surprise as they pursue a powerful French warship across the globe during the Napoleonic Wars. Despite earning critical acclaim, multiple Academy Award wins, and a passionate fanbase, the film never quite became the blockbuster franchise many expected. Over the years, however, Master and Commander has steadily grown in reputation, earning recognition as one of the finest historical adventures ever put to screen.But does the film deserve its status as a modern masterpiece? Troy and Brad dive into the incredible craftsmanship behind the production, from its obsessive attention to historical detail to its thunderous sea battles and unforgettable performances from Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany. The hosts also discuss why director Peter Weir remains one of cinema's most underappreciated filmmakers despite a career that includes classics like The Truman Show, Witness, and Picnic at Hanging Rock.Hoist the colors, secure the gun decks, and join the chase as Not A Bomb celebrates a film that proves blockbuster filmmaking can still be intelligent, immersive, and endlessly rewatchable.Want to help support the show?

Some things in life are hard to joke about… unless you're hanging out in The Treehouse.In this episode of The Treehouse Show, Trey opens up about the passing of his mother and what it's like having a complicated relationship with a parent. It's honest, uncomfortable, funny in places it probably shouldn't be, and exactly the kind of conversation you can only have with close friends and a microphone.Then, because this is still The Treehouse Show, we immediately get back to the stupid.Today's Topics:Trey discusses losing his mom and complicated family relationshipsWaco police attempt to catch a runaway kangarooCelebrity birthdays featuring Paul Bettany, aka “Mr. Jennifer Connelly”Gen Z resurrects another forgotten 80s trendYoung people apparently think they discovered hacky sackWhy every generation eventually becomes the one they used to make fun ofIf you love comedy podcasts, funny news stories, weird real-life headlines, pop culture commentary, celebrity discussions, and conversations that somehow go from emotional to completely ridiculous in five minutes, you'll love The Treehouse Show.The Treehouse Show is a comedy podcast covering viral news, absurd current events, pop culture, and the dumbest stories on the internet.About the show:Leave your worries outside and join Dan O'Malley, Trey Trenholm, and their hilarious guests for laughs about funny news and viral stories with ridiculous commentary inside the Treehouse Show.

“You have been weighed. You have been measured. And you have been found wanting.” Join Ian & Liam for our 331st episode as we joust for glory, dance to Queen in medieval Europe, and revisit Brian Helgeland's wildly anachronistic crowd-pleaser A Knight's Tale (2001). Megs isn't with us this week — she's apparently been appointed to the royal court after successfully inventing modern fashion 600 years early. Kev? Last seen trying to enter a jousting tournament under a fake noble title before being immediately exposed by Paul Bettany. This week we discuss: Heath Ledger's breakout leading-man performance — charming, earnest, rebellious. Was this the moment Hollywood realised he could do absolutely anything? The film's glorious tonal chaos — medieval sports movie, romantic comedy, rock concert, underdog drama. Why does this bizarre cocktail somehow work? Paul Bettany's Chaucer — flamboyant, scene-stealing, and possibly the film's secret MVP. Liam breaks down the film's anachronisms — Queen, Bowie, Nike-energy editing. Does the film transcend historical accuracy through sheer confidence? Ian explores the underdog narrative — class, identity, and whether William's rise actually challenges the social order or merely slips inside it. The romance between William and Jocelyn — genuine chemistry or the weakest part of the film? The sports-movie structure — training montages, rivalries, and comeback arcs dressed in chainmail. The “show vs tell” balance — does the film earn its emotional moments through character work, or simply overwhelm you with charisma and music? Rufus Sewell's Count Adhemar — classic villainy, simmering resentment, and one of the great sneering performances of the era. What's with the romantic plot's detour in Act II - where did that come from? The ending — triumphant, ridiculous, emotionally earned… or all three simultaneously? And finally, whether A Knight's Tale is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the most aggressively lovable films of the 2000s.

Mottola is no stranger to the DCU or James Gunn, having directed episodes of Peacemaker. While DC has yet to comment, Moon Knight writer Matthew Orton reportedly wrote the initial screenplay for the villain duo team-up and is set to do a rewrite if Mottola does end up being the choice.

Dana and Tom discuss A Knight's Tale (2001) for its 25th anniversary: written and directed by Brian Helgeland, cinematography by Richard Greatrex, editing by Kevin Stitt, music by Carter Burwell, starring Heath Ledger, Shannyn Sossamon, Paul Bettany, Mark Addy, Rufus Sewell, and Alan Tudyk.Plot Summary: A Knight's Tale follows a poor squire who risks everything to change his fate.

One out of every two Make-A-Wish wishes granted in America is a Disney wish.The Disney Make-A-Wish partnership is about far more than theme park vacations. Every single hour, somewhere in the world, Disney helps grant a wish for a child battling a critical illness - creating moments of hope, joy, strength, and healing for families who need it most.In this very personal episode, Lou shares the extraordinary history of Disney and Make-A-Wish, from the very first Disneyland wish in 1981 to the incredible “Wishes Assemble” event at Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure, featuring Anthony Mackie, MrBeast, Mark Rober, Paul Bettany, and 40 remarkable children and their families.Along the way, he explores the emotional impact of wish granting, the medical research behind why wishes matter, and why this cause has become such an important part of the WDW Radio community for more than 20 years.You'll hear stories about wish kids meeting their heroes, Disney Cast Members who once received wishes themselves, and how the WDW Radio Dream Team Project has helped raise more than $550,000 to help grant wishes for children and families through Make-A-Wish.If you've ever wondered what Disney magic truly means, this episode may change the way you see it forever.

This week, MagicBands have been disappearing from shelves, wishes come true for some extra special super heroes, a former CEO is honored with a lifetime achievement award, we talk with Haley Clair about her legendary grandmother Harriett Burns and more! Please support the show if you can by going to https://www.dlweekly.net/support/. Check out all of our current partners and exclusive discounts at https://www.dlweekly.net/promos. News: The past couple of weeks, we had been seeing reports that MagicBands were becoming more and more difficult to purchase at the Disneyland Resort. Officials have now confirmed that Disneyland is ending on-property sales of MagicBand˖ Existing interactive features, like Batuu Bounty Hunters, will remain functional for current owners, however no new shipments are expected once stock sells out at the few remaining retail locations. This change is exclusive to Disneyland Resort, as MagicBand+ will continue to be supported and sold at Walt Disney World, on Disney Cruise Line, and via the Disney Store online. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/magicband-plus-disneyland-phase-out/ Star Wars fans can now head to the Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney to create their own custom Galactic ID badges. For $15, fans can step into a specialized booth to choose their affiliation and have their photo printed on a unique, transparent plastic card that mimics the high-tech look from the films. The experience has become very popular! – https://www.micechat.com/435362-disneyland-hews-star-wars-land-awakens-vader-music-construction-more/ Disney has unveiled a “shriek peek” at its 2026 Halloween merchandise, featuring a massive collection of apparel, headwear, and home décor for the upcoming spooky season. Highlights include new “Create-Your-Own” headbands with mini plush characters, a Vampire Stitch plush, and a special collection inspired by the Haunted Mansion's tightrope walker. Exclusive designs for Oogie Boogie Bash were also shared. – https://disneyparksblog.com/products/shriek-peek-at-disney-halloween-merchandise-materializing-this-year/ In celebration of “Disney Week of Wishes,” the Disneyland Resort hosted the “Wishes Assemble” event, officially recruiting nearly 40 wish kids and their families into the ranks of the Avengers. These young heroes enjoyed a private party at the resort with special appearances by Marvel stars Anthony Mackie and Paul Bettany, followed by a day of “heroic” activities within the park. This special celebration highlights Disney's 45-year partnership with Make-A-Wish, focusing on creating life-changing memories for children with critical illnesses. – https://disneyparksblog.com/community-outreach/celebrating-disney-week-of-wishes-across-disney-experiences/ Former Disney CEO Bob Iger was recently honored with the inaugural WishMaker Lifetime Achievement Award during a special “Wishes Assemble” event at the Disneyland Resort. Presented by Make-A-Wish America, the award recognizes Iger's massive impact on the organization, specifically overseeing the granting of more than 110,000 wishes during his tenure. – https://disneyparksblog.com/community-outreach/celebrating-disney-week-of-wishes-across-disney-experiences/ To celebrate May the 4th, Walt Disney Imagineering has shared a behind-the-scenes look at the technical innovation used to create the hologram of Tohan Lege for Disneyland's “Shadows of Memory” show. Since true holograms don't exist, Imagineers combined specialized projection tricks and visual effects to capture the authentic, flickering aesthetic of a Star Wars transmission. This “lore-weaver” character marks a significant narrative expansion for Galaxy's Edge, anchoring the land's story further into the Skywalker legacy. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/hologram-star-wars-shadows-of-memory/ SnackChat: Returning Halloween Treats – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-halloween-food-2026-returning/ Discussion Topic: Imagineer and Disney legend Harriet Burns with actress Haley Clair – www.imagineerharriet.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Darth Vader shows up in Maul: Shadow Lord episodes 9 and 10, and not a single character in the room knows what he is. Matthew and Erin close out the first season of the Maul: Shadow Lord Disney+ series with a deep dive into the finale's most jaw-dropping choices: the silent Vader entrance, the lightsaber choreography that deliberately echoes Return of the Jedi, and what it means that this version of Vader is barely two years removed from being Anakin Skywalker.Why was keeping Vader silent both an ethical and a narrative win. How Maul starts putting together who Vader actually is, laying the groundwork for Rebels. Devon's fall to the dark side, Daki's off-screen death, and Spy-Bot's brutal final moment. The Inquisitors feeling more genuinely dangerous here than in previous animated appearances. And a real debate about Dryden Voss's arrival; was it the right call, especially with a recast voice in place of Paul Bettany?Matthew and Erin also pull out for the longer view: what Vader's inability to clean up this mission might mean for his standing with the Emperor, how the Lawson sacrifice played, and what pieces are left on the board for a potential season two. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

A Pap's Tale. Pappy of the Outer Grease Realms leads fellow countrymen Josh of Cheapside Goshen, Sir Kylo Korey of Oxnard and Young WIzard of Money, Mikey as they discuss A Knight's Tale! "In tone, A Knight's Tale is at the exact midpoint of A Kid in King Arthur's Court and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms." ****** Peasant-born William Thatcher (Heath Ledger) begins a quest to change his stars, win the heart of an exceedingly fair maiden (Shanynn Sossamon) and rock his medieval world. With the help of friends (Mark Addy, Paul Bettany, Alan Tudyk), he faces the ultimate test of medieval gallantry -- tournament jousting -- and tries to discover if he has the mettle to become a legend. Release date May 11, 2001 (USA) Director Brian Helgeland Story by Geoffrey Chaucer Running time 2h 12m MPAA rating PG-13 Distributed by Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures · See more

This week on Myopia Movies, we watch Marvel's own Jarvis/Vision fight to stop AI by trying to stop Johnny Depp. It's not as fun as that sounds.

Mount your horse and begin your journey to Canterbury with Emma and Ria as they dig into an excellent movie and extremely loosey-goosey adaptation of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales—2001 cult classic A Knight's Tale! Must an adaptation of a 14 century book be accurate or can it not simply operate on vibes alone? Why is the fact Chaucer is one of the movie protagonists accurate to the book? Who's getting freaky in the Czech Republic on the weekend? All these questions answered and more in today's episode.  Content warnings for The Canterbury Tales includes: stories of violence, stories of rape, and 1390's typical racism, sexism, religious opinions, and fart jokes. Content warnings for A Knight's Tale (2001) includes: jousting violence, pre-9/11 crude humor, and a naked Paul Bettany. The articles Emma references in this episode can be found here: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-may-14-ca-63182-story.html https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/feb/16/how-we-made-a-knights-tale-heath-ledger-paul-bettany-brian-helgeland https://www.theringer.com/2021/05/11/movies/knights-tale-heath-ledger-behind-the-scenes-stories-paul-bettany https://splicedwire.com/01features/bhelgeland.html You can find Emma on bluesky @crabmoney.bsky.social.

MOVIE KNIGHT! Join Tom, Dan, and Sarah as they sally forth unto the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS OF JOUSTING in the 2001 live-action sports anime, "A Knight's Tale," the pre-Game of Thrones medieval fantasy that taught us even the lowliest peasant can change his stars, ignore the oppression of a feudal caste system, and make their dad proud if they just believe hard enough. Like a collection of Pilgrim's tales, this movie is greater than the sum of it's parts; this anachronistic period piece uses modern music and The Big Game sports vibes to tap into the melodrama of a rags-to-riches underdog story. Heath Ledger and Paul Bettany give it their all, screaming their passion at you with such unironic intensity that you will be stomp-stomp-clap-ing in your seat like any medieval peasant all jacked up on Queen. Contained within: Chaucer's literary contributions, uncooked pasta lances, and Famous Dan, real-life best friend of British C-tier celebrity.

Our last guests on Soundtracking are Will Sharpe and Paul Bettany, who join us to discuss Amadeus. Available to watch on Sky and Now TV, it's a reworking of Peter Shaffer's classic play, in which the precocious composer arrives in Vienna and soon makes an enemy of court composer Salieri.

Paul Bettany and Will Sharpe don their frock coats for Amadeus on Sky and we speak to both of them on this week's show as they chat all things Mozart with Boyd. Plus we wrap up a festive haul of shows for under your Christmas tree, taking a look at Mart Gatiss' latest Ghost Story For Christmas, The Room in The Tower on BBC2, getting drawn into the sweedy underbelly of Texan high society in The Hunting Wives on ITV, and finally getting to take a ride with Ethan Hawke's ‘truthstorian' as The Lowdown finally splashes down here in the UK on Disney+. All that and Kay loses the power of speech, Boyd recounts a harrowing experience at The Ivy where the doorman didn't know who he was, and James reveals the embarrassing truth of how he spent 469 hours this year.

You will recognise the BAFTA nominated actor Paul Bettany best as the superhero Vision, the trudging Geoffrey Chaucer in A Knight's Tale, or maybe as the long suffering surgeon opposite Russell Crow in Master and Commander…a role which saw him learn to play a period accurate cello.But, his familial lineage is full of musical stars and Paul himself was even a busker on the London Underground for a time.What then will he choose for his Inheritance Tracks.Inherited: The Eton Rifles by The Jam Passing on: Hollow Ponds by Damon AlbarnProducers: Anna Bailey and Ben Mitchell

The actor and art lover Russell Tovey - who's not only on a mission to spread his love of art far and wide… but is humanity's best hope in the War between Land and Sea. There's no hint of CGI in the warzones Sally Becker's been to - the recipient of a Lifetime achievement award at this year's Pride of Britain, she's made it her life's work to help children in some of the most unimaginable situations.And Vanessa Ruck - who spent seven years recovering from a life-changing car accident… only to then learn to ride a motorbike and race it in extreme endurance events. All that plus, a man who makes a living with his hand, head, and indeed his entire body inside some of the most iconic puppets on stage - and the Inheritance Tracks of the actor Paul Bettany.Presenter: Adrian Chiles Producer: Ben Mitchell Assistant Producer: Catherine Powell Researcher: Jesse Edwards Editor: Glyn Tansley

Ben and Rob dive deep into Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World, directed by Peter Weir and starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany, and, of course, Russell Crowe (with even more Russell Crowe to come). They unpack why this film grabbed them so powerfully on first watch, why politics usually stay off the table for them, the incredible making-of craft behind the production, and the bizarre yet undeniable parallels between this tightly focused nautical adventure and today's sprawling mega-franchises.Why does this film hit so hard right from the start? How does such a contained story feel oddly aligned with modern blockbuster logic? What did the behind-the-scenes dedication achieve?

New month, new theme. We're kicking off "CROWvember" with yet another failed franchise starter from the surprisingly-regularly-featured-on-F2F Russell Crowe. But this time, it's a classy, prestige play Oscar contender from acclaimed filmmaker Peter Weir that was, nevertheless, meant to hopefully kick off a cinematic series. Adapted from the long-running "Aubrey/Maturin" period war-drama novel series by Patrick O'Brian, 2003's Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is a rousing 19th century naval battle action epic. But for all the excitement of ship vs. ship conflict, at the heart of the film is a story of loyalty, duty, and male friendship. In an era unfortunately dominated by displays of male toxicity, did we two dudes find something more admirable and aspirational in the friendship of the two dudes played by Crowe and Paul Bettany? And, do we think even a big Best Picture contender like this could really justify a blockbuster-like series of sequels? We discuss all this and more, as we set out to sail in the choppy waters of "CROWvember." Our Twitter Our Facebook Our Instagram Our YouTube Trev's Letterboxd Chris' Letterboxd

An unscheduled but deeply canon (cannon!) episode diving into 2003's Master & Commander: FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD, directed by Pyiter Weir and starring Rusty Crowe and Dr Paul Bettany. Based on the book of the same name. The chaps chat soggy middles, the unsettling stirring notions of naval flicks and the oddity that is this non-story led blockbuster.

“Whedon at the line….oh, no, another brick!” - Steve, on the screenplay clunkers On this week's episode, the 2025 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza kicks off with a trip to Franchise Town as we discuss the fun, Spader-tastic sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron! How great is James Spader with this Ultron performance? Are there too many characters in this fully-loaded movie? Should they have written mutant characters when they couldn't use the word ‘mutant' anywhere in the script? And would Ultron have been more menacing if he was given a big, mechanical mustache? PLUS: What in the world is going on with the Maximoffs' accents here? Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Cobie Smulders, Anthony Mackie, Hayley Atwell, Idris Elba, Linda Cardellini, Stellan Skarsgård, Claudia Kim, Thomas Kretschman, Andy Serkis, and James Spader as Ultron; directed by noted jerk, Joss Whedon.
