Is the SnyderVerse returning with the WB sell?! Today on The Kristian Harloff Show, we dive into a massive wave of breaking news across the industry — and yes, that includes the big headline: Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan & Saudis set to bring back the SnyderVerse in a potential new deal still rumor at this point. With reports that Saudi Arabia's PIF enters the Warner Bros. bid mix, there's a lot to unpack about what this could mean for DC's future and whether the SnyderVerse could actually return. We also cover the latest box-office and franchise updates, including Now You See Me 3 topping the global box office, plus confirmations of Black Panther 3 and Now You See Me 4, giving movie fans plenty to look forward to. On the DC side, BLACK ADAM star Pierce Brosnan says Doctor Fate will appear in Man of Tomorrow, which adds more intrigue to James Gunn's Superman plans. In industry news, Tom Cruise has finally received an Oscar, marking a major moment in his legendary career, and we touch on comments from the Naked Gun director, who is unimpressed with the reboot.

Thirty years ago this November, a brand new James Bond took the world by storm and he was played by Pierce Brosnan.  Only eight years after the former television star of "Remington Steele" was initially set to take on the role but then couldn't because of unexpected issues with his former network, a man who seemed born to play 007 was finally able to take on the role.  And this time around, Bond had a new actress playing his boss M, none other than Oscar-winner Dame Judi Dench.  Not only that, but also some promising new villains played by Sean Bean (Fellowship of the Ring, The Martian, Game of Thrones) and Famke Janssen (X-Men, Rounders).  AND a brand new director from New Zealand who cut his teeth on British television, Martin Campbell (The Mask of Zorro, Green Lantern, Casino Royale) helming his first big budget feature film for the first time.  And everybody loved it?  Let's head back to the mid '90's for the first post-Cold War reboot of one of the most enduring franchises in cinema history.....     Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Described by GQ Magazine as "a film producer behind a whole new generation of on-screen hardmen", a 2021 Sothcott profile piece in The Telegraph noted his movies "have saved our film industry."Over the years Sothcott has worked with a galaxy of stars including Ray Winstone, Danny Trejo, Lee Majors, Mark Hamill, Jason Statham, Michael Paré, Steven Berkoff, Richard E Grant, Charlie Cox and Sir Roger Moore.Notable successes amongst his 40+ feature credits include ‘Vendetta', ‘We Still Kill The Old Way' and ‘Renegades'. He set up Shogun Films in 2020 as a genuine international counterpoint of independence and the company has won a slew of awards recognising it's trailblazing approach. He has over 20 years of experience in the British film industry, and we discuss what makes a movie ‘British'?. We also discuss some of the best films of the 1980s, and the established stars at the time. We also discuss his forthcoming movie, ‘Knightfall', currently in post-production:“Charles Knight, a paranoid former spy catcher, must work with his estranged daughter to foil an international terrorist plot, while surviving a terrifying home invasion in this explosive espionage thriller”.Before making his name in feature films, Sothcott produced documentaries and moderated DVD commentaries for numerous cult films, including The Wild Geese.Our topics include:Roger MooreRoger Moore's son, Geoffrey MooreIan Ogilvy - an English actor, playwright and novelist best known as the star of the television series Return of the Saint (1978–79), in which he assumed the role of Simon Templar from Roger Moore (1962-69)The Fourth Protocol (1987) starring Pierce Brosnan and Micheal Caine, based on the 1984 book by British novelist Frederick Forsyth The debt that modern action movies owe to traditional 007 films The Wild Geese (1978) with Roger Moore, John Glen (second unit director) and Ewan Lloyd (producer)Joan Armatrading wrote and recorded the theme songIngrid Pitt, Polish-British actress and writer, most famous for her role in ‘Where Eagles Dare' but also appeared in The Wild Geese IIThe Sea Wolves (1980), Gregory Peck, Roger Moore and David NivenEwan Lloyd – BFI: “Lloyd stood alone within the depressed British film industry of the late 1970s and early 1980s as a producer with the self-belief, charisma and bluff to mount large-scale independent action-adventure films, such as The Wild Geese (1978) and Who Dares Wins (1982)". Lewis Collins, star of the TV movie, ‘Who Dares Wins' (1982), also known as The Final Option, the star was the tabloid's favourite for ‘next James Bond' for some years due to his action star credentials   David Wickes, TV producer best known for his work on ‘The Sweeny' ‘The Professionals', and ‘CI5: The New Professionals'Jonathan recommends the TV show, ‘Roger Moore: A Matter of Class', which is available to watch on Youtube.Finally, we discuss he state of the British film industry, and the way ahead.Visit the website: https://albionneverdies.com/Support the show

Is the power-mad media mogul a more relevant villain in 2025 than it was in 1997? How different is our media landscape, really, from that of an earlier age of American life?

Send us a textSPECIAL NOTE: SEASON 15 OF THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY CELEBRATES THE USE OF THE PRACTICAL AND DIGITAL EFFECT KNOWN AS THE SQUIB. IRL GUN VIOLENCE IS INTOLERABLE AND RENOUNCED BUT... CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.    Finally, Squib Season (Season 15 of TGTPTU) returns to massive gunplay! This week the hosts repel into the 1980's sci-fi quasi-horror bro-action all-muscle (except maybe Shane Black and/or Elpidia Carrillo) high-octane totally-bitchin' jungle of some unnamed Latin American country to encounter PREDATOR (1987).  Director John McTiernan's follow-up to his 1986 freshman feature film (maybe named “Nomads” who knows? Pierce Brosnan and perhaps supportive family members, maybe the film's producers, and apparently the up-and-coming action star Arnold Schwarzenegger had heard of and/or watched the moody low-budget flick), Predator would launch the moviemaker into the firmament and keep him in Hollywood's heavens following up this constrained-budget film with every film dad's favorite Christmas movie and then their favorite Russian seamen film (before making Medicine Man and Last Action Hero and falling to earth).  If you don't know the plot, why spoil it and who the heck are you anyway and why are you reading the show notes to a movie podcast? Seriously, let us know: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.com. (Unless you're AI, in which case, thanks for helping edit this episode!).  This ep, dive deep into the production (teasers: James Cameron on a plane inspired the alien's design + the Predator's vision not shot on thermographic cameras + stunt-simian monkey + JCVD + Montezuma's revenge + mods were made to the M134 Minigun to make Old Painless work on film) with hosts Ken and Thomas, shallowly with host Ryan, and enjoy some good ol' action fun along with guest host Jack. And if you love butchered quotes and impersonations, this is the ep for you.  Now, Ken, get to the choppa-block and edit this episode, you one ugly motherf--ker.

Unclear and Present Danger

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched the (rightfully) forgotten thriller The Jackal, a loose adaptation of The Day of the Jackal directed by Michael Caton-Jones and starring Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Sidney Poitier and Diane Venora.In The Jackal, Willis plays the titular assassin, a feared hitman who has been hired by Russian mobsters to assassinate the director of the FBI, in retaliation for American activity in Russia. As the Jackal makes his arrangements, FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston (Poitier) and Russian Police Major Valentina Koslova (Venora) scour their sources for leads in a search that leads to imprisoned IRA sniper Declan Mulqueen (Gere). Mulqueen knows the Jackal and will help the FBI find him — if he gets his freedom in return. What follows is a chase across the world, as Carter, Koslova and Mulqueen race to stop the Jackal, whose ultimate target is the First Lady of the United States.The tagline for The Jackal was “How do you stop an assassin who has no identity?”You can find The Jackal to rent or purchase on Apple TV or Amazon Prime.Episodes come out roughly every two weeks, so we'll see you then with an episode on Tomorrow Never Dies, the second entry in Pierce Brosnan's run as James Bond.Over on Patreon, we have an episode on the first Mobile Suit Gundam compliation film.

Don't be shy, send me a message!Thomas Felix Creighton celebrates his 200th podcast episode by setting out his most controversial opinion on the James Bond franchise: that 2002's Pierce Brosnan adventure, 'Die Another Day', is a great film. Not one that starts decent and then goes off the rails, not one that is good in concept and but fails in execution - it is an out and out fun action romp of the early 2000s.Thomas is fully aware that there are other opinions, and has taken much advice on this from the fan community. He has considered other these opinions, acknowledges them, and discusses them. Many thanks to those who have patiently (and kindly) explained *their* perspective. But, Thomas Felix Creighton likes Die Another Day, and that's what this episode is all about. As Madonna sings in the title sequence, 'Sigmund Freud, analyse this...

When an actor opens their mouth to sing in a movie, chances are high that the voice you hear will be their own. Even in music biopics, movie stars without much singing experience regularly go to great lengths to impersonate the most beloved vocalists of our time. Why not simply play Johnny Cash or Bruce Springsteen's actual recordings, the reasons why we care about them in the first place? When the world is full of beautiful singing voices, why force Pierce Brosnan to bray his way through Mamma Mia? What you hear when an actor unhinges their jaw is a matter that Hollywood has been negotiating since the dawn of sound. So in this episode, we'll learn about the “ghost singers” of classic Hollywood musicals, find out why they went extinct, and why today's music biopics so often fudge the music. Then we leave Hollywood for Bollywood, where the rise of the celebrity “playback singer” shows what can happen when good singing is the highest priority. In this episode, you'll hear from Slate's pop music critic Jack Hamilton; musicologist Dominic Broomfield-McHugh, editor of The Oxford Handbook of the Hollywood Musical; Stephen Cole, co-author of a memoir by the ghost singer Marni Nixon; Isaac Butler, longtime Slate contributor and scholar of American acting; and Nasreen Munni Kabir, who has written several books on Hindi cinema and curates Indian films for the UK's Channel 4.
