Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesIt appears as though Marvel Studios much speculated film that was slated to release between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars in July 2027, won't be happening after all; or at least not that July, as Disney has replaced the untitled project with a sequel to The Simpsons Movie dated for July 23, 2027. The move comes as a surprise to many Marvel fans who anticipated a possible Doctor Strange or Shang-Chi sequel to take place between the Avengers tentpoles but is in keeping with what Bob Iger and Kevin Feige have promised about a slowdown in production. Elsewhere, with Marvel Zombies premiering on Disney Plus last week, Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum teased a possible season 2, but emphasized that would be contingent on viewership and new Disney Plus subscriptions. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Olsen took the opportunity to share that although she recorded lines for the series, she doesn't remember anything about the show or plot. It was a huge week for trailers from a bevy of our favorite franchises, so lets run them down with another good old fashioned Trailer Park:Insomniac and Sony released the first gameplay trailer for Marvel's Wolverine on the PS5, which will release in fall of 2026.Lucasfilm unveiled a new trailer for Star Wars; Visions Volume 3 which also announced the cast that includes Anna Sawai, Freddie Highmore, George Takei, Harvey Guillén, Jodie Turner-Smith, Judith Light, Simu Liu, Stephanie Hsu, and Steve Buscemi.The final trailer for Jon M. Chu's Wicked: For Good released last Wednesday morning to much acclaim.And finally, a new trailer for 20th Century's Avatar: Fire and Ash teased more of the villainous faction and stakes.Director Denis Villeneuve shed new light on his upcoming version of 007 for Amazon/MGM; sharing that the casting process will begin next year after he's completed production on Dune: Part Three for Warner Bros and that he is looking to cast a “relatively unknown” “fresh face” actor in their 20s or 30s. Additional criteria the filmmaker included is that the performer must hail from the British Isles and be male, as well as his desire to capture what Fleming called “a blunt instrument” — the lethal but “extremely dull, uninteresting man to whom things happened.” If Villeneuve and team stay true to these parameters, it potentially rules out many fan-casted favorites and seems to be in more alignment with the Broccoli family's traditions with the character than expected with new creatives in control.Mark Ronson is slated to reunite with Greta Gerwig to score her Chronicles of Narnia adaptation at Netflix. Ronson previously served as executive music producer for Gerwig's Barbie.Amazon MGM Studios‘ adaptation of Rebecca Yarros' bestselling novel Fourth Wing is closing in on a new showrunner. Wednesday Season 2 executive producer Meredith Averill is in final negotiations to board the project as writer and executive producer.Sony revealed that Spider-Man: Beyond the SpiderVerse will arrive a week earlier than expected, and land on June 18, 2027. Notably, that new date will cover the Juneteenth holiday as well as Father's Day. It previously was dated for June 25, 2027.Comedian Bill Burr is in talks to join the cast of Aaron Sorkin and Sony Pictures' sequel to The Social Network, after Jeremy Strong, Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White were officially cast. The film also has been retitled The Social Reckoning and will officially hit theaters on Oct. 9, 2026.A newly created AI “actress” named Tilly Norwood, designed by the studio Xicoia under Particle6, has reportedly drawn interest from Hollywood talent agencies. The announcement sparked major backlash from real actors, with critiques about replacing human talent, the ethics of compositing real faces, and calls to boycott agencies that represent AI personas.
Long before his collaborations with major artists like Lady Gaga, Amy Winehouse and Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson was sneaking into nightclubs with his friend Sean Ono Lennon at 12 years-old. As he grew up, his status as a night person solidified when he became a DJ in hip-hop clubs in New York City. “It's so exciting that people are suddenly coming because they love the music that you've made,” Ronson says.Ronson explores his love affair with the music as he sits down with Vogue's Senior Editor Corey Seymour to talk about his new book “Night People: How to Be a DJ in '90s New York City.” Ronson gets candid about growing up in a musical family, the identity crisis he had in his early years as a performer and what it is like to set the tone for the party. “I am obsessed with the craft,” reflects Ronson as he retraces his past and pieces together the stories from his big nights and the celebrities who were a part of it.“All the music being made in New York at that time was kind of like the biggest music, at least in hip-hop.” recalls Ronson. “So, you had Jay-Z, Biggie, Little Kim, Tribe, and then you had Missy and Timberland and people from other places that were all in New York making their records and they would all come to the club and there I am with this front row seat to it.”The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Send us a textThis week we discuss Ian Hunter and his 1979 LP You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic. Hunter worked a long time to find success. His band Mott the Hoople were instrumental in advancing glam rock by giving it a rougher edge. David Bowie was such a fan of the band that he even gave them the song "All the Young Dudes" which became the title track for their most popular album, which he also produced. Hunter eventually left Mott the Hoople to concentrate on a solo career and made several albums with Bowie collaborator, and guitarist extraordinaire, Mick Ronson. The results were a series of fine albums, featuring Hunter's (admittedly limited, but expressive voice) against Ronson's classic Marshall stack sound. You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic not only features Ronson, but several members of Bruce Springsteen's E Street band, grounding the album with a solid foundtion. The song "Cleveland Rocks" became an anthem for the birthplace of Rock-n-Roll and "Ships" was even covered by Barry Manilow, becoming one of his biggest hits. But don't let the Manilow cover fool you, You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic is chock full of rock and roll energy and is considered by many as Hunter's crowning achievement.

Part 1 The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson Summary"The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry" by Jon Ronson delves into the complex world of psychopathology, exploring the nature and treatment of mental illness, particularly psychopathy. Overview: Jon Ronson, a journalist and author, embarks on a journey to understand what it means to be a psychopath, a condition often characterized by a lack of empathy, remorse, and emotional connection. The book is both investigative journalism and a personal exploration, intertwining anecdotes, interviews, and Ronson's own experiences.Key Themes and Concepts: The Hare Psychopathy Checklist: The book discusses the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, a diagnostic tool developed by psychologist Robert Hare to evaluate psychopathy. The checklist includes traits such as superficial charm, high intelligence, and shallow emotions. Ronson reflects on how the checklist is used and misused in various contexts, including prisons and corporate environments.The Journey into Mental Illness: Ronson meets a variety of individuals including mental health professionals, psychopaths, and patients in mental institutions. He explores how society labels and manages those deemed mentally ill, highlighting the fine line between sanity and insanity.Cultural Perceptions of Psychopathy: The author examines how psychopathy is perceived in society, touching on high-profile cases and suggesting that some of the traits associated with psychopathy can also be beneficial in corporate settings, effectively linking business and psychopathy.Exploring the Madness Industry: Ronson takes a critical stance on the mental health industry, questioning the definitions of mental illness and how diagnoses can sometimes be arbitrary. He discusses the power dynamics involved, especially how those labeled as mentally ill can be marginalized.Personal Reflections: Throughout the book, Ronson shares his own thoughts and insecurities about sanity, wondering about the threshold that separates a ‘normal' person from a psychopath. His personal anecdotes add a layer of relatability to the subject matter.Conclusion: "The Psychopath Test" challenges readers to think critically about mental illness, the definitions of sanity and insanity, and the moral implications of labeling individuals.

RockerMike and Rob Presents:Suzi RonsonSuzi Ronson (née Fussey) played a crucial behind-the-scenes role in shaping David Bowie's image during his Ziggy Stardust era. Born in England, she worked as a hairdresser in Beckenham when she first encountered Bowie and his then-wife, Angie Bowie. It was Suzi who gave Bowie the now-iconic red mullet haircut, which was inspired by a style from a Japanese fashion magazine. Impressed by her work, Bowie invited her to join his team as a personal stylist, making her the first woman to be part of his touring crew.During the early 1970s, Suzi traveled with Bowie and his band, the Spiders from Mars, styling his hair, helping with wardrobe, and supporting the overall theatrical vision of his performances. This period was one of the most visually striking and influential phases of Bowie's career.While working with Bowie, she met Mick Ronson, Bowie's lead guitarist and arranger. The two fell in love and eventually married, starting a family together. After Mick's passing in 1993, Suzi continued working in creative fields, including music production, writing, and storytelling.In recent years, she has shared her experiences from the Ziggy Stardust era through interviews and articles, giving fans a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of one of rock's most transformative periods. Her contributions to Bowie's image and legacy remain a vital part of his history.#SuziRonson #MickRonson#ZiggyStardust #DavidBowie#BowieStyle #GlamRock#SpidersFromMars #RockHistory#70sRock #HairAndFashion#MusicLegends #RockAndRollhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/Suzi-Ronson/author/B0CXJ9S28L?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=truehttps://www.instagram.com/suzironson?igsh=Y3FobWFtNml6ZDUzhttps://www.facebook.com/share/16MPXz9Wqc/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://x.com/ronsonsuzi?s=21&t=Mzw5de5zsR-SDDbhyzH0Lg#classicrock #rockhistory #70smusic #musichistory #rockandroll #rocklegends

As we begin the wrap-up for 2024, the global community is taking stock of where we sit as a society, and if we're better or worse than before. What does someone like Ronson make of it all? Have we become more psychopathic as a global community, or have we become too comfortable about using the term?

In this week's episode we speak with Jon Ronson, who contends the attributes of psychopaths really do help them get ahead. Ronson, who wrote the 2011 bestseller The Psychopath Test, also explores how social media rewards those with an empathy bypass, and looks at the rise of public shaming. Speaking with Good Weekend senior writer Konrad Marshall, he also makes a case for non-fiction writers like himself avoiding the temptation of fudging the truth - and the importance of humour in writing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As seniors increasingly use technology in their daily lives, innovative solutions are emerging to cater to their unique needs across different industries. Terence Ronson, Founder of Pertlink, has leveraged his hospitality expertise to develop technologies for senior living residences, such as voice control for simple tasks and dietary tracking systems in hospitals. While integrating such personalized technologies into the hospitality and restaurant industries with shorter patron stays poses challenges, there is growing potential for these sectors to learn from senior-focused innovations.

But given a chance to talk with someone "who was there" is always great for the Imbalanced Boys. Suzi Ronson's friendship with Angie Bowie, and her entry into David's universe is part of the story, but with her attention to detail, she paints, more than tells, the tales included in this must-read book!!! Me & Mr. Jones, hits stores on April 4th! Be sure you listen to our conversation with her, to whet your appetite, at least!

Jon Ronson is a journalistic hero of mine, as he is to many.. He was one of the first people to write about the culture wars, well before the phrase became commonplace in our news cycles. His two audio series exploring real-life origin stories from these everyday battles ‘Things Fell Apart' (BBC Sounds) have been a huge commercial and critical success. Ronson has written a handful of fascinating works of non-fiction including ‘Them: Adventures with Extremists'; ‘The Psychopath Test' and ‘So You'Ve Been Publicly Shamed' and his book ‘The Men Who Stare at Goats' was made into a feature film starring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor and Jeff Bridges. We explore Jon's love of storytelling, what being bullied at school taught him, why truth-telling is vital and whether he will ever regret his solitary nature. Plus: why (according to him) he sucks at screenwriting despite having been portrayed by two Star Wars actors. Oh, and his deadly professional rivalry with Louis Theroux… Season 2 of Things Fell Apart is available now on BBC Sounds And as always, I'd LOVE to hear about your failures. Every week, my guest and I choose a selection to read out and answer on our special subscription offering, Failing with Friends.

Suzi Ronson was working in a hairdressers in Beckenham in 1970 when a Mrs Jones dropped in for a shampoo and set talking gaily about her son, “an artistic boy who plays guitar and piano”. The same son who'd had a hit with Space Oddity and occasionally drifted down the High Road in a dress. Within weeks she'd become the first rock stylist, transforming Bowie's hair, image and stage clothes and launching him in the direction of Ziggy Stardust and an international audience. She was a key part of his entourage that toured the UK, America and Japan and she talks about later life married to Spiders' guitarist Mick Ronson, the role he played in Bowie's success and the trials of his solo career in its aftermath. Both this podcast and her memoir (Me And Mr Jones: My Life With David Bowie and the Spiders From Mars) look at Bowie's early career from a wholly new and original angle - in fact someone should base a film on it. A few highlights ... … Haddon Hall and its exotic inhabitants. … Schwarzkopf Red Hair Dye and other trade secrets. .. how it feels to see an audience with the haircut you invented. … expeditions to Liberty's and Mr Fish with Angie Bowie. … the Spiders' northern sensibilities adjusting to the brave new world. … how Tony Defries made Bowie mysterious and unreachable. … why Lou Reed was a revelation. … America's Southern states reacting to the 1972 tour. ... and the magnetism of Bob Dylan and why Mick Ronson ended the Rolling Thunder tour with an invoice not a wage packet.

Full transcript available at https://somedarecallitconspiracy.blogspot.com/2024/02/jon-ronson-interview-transcript.htmlJon Ronson on the Allure of Conspiracies and the Culture WarWelcome to an exclusive episode of 'Some Dare Call It Conspiracy,' where hosts Neil Sanders and Brent Lee navigate the murky waters of conspiracy theories with guest Jon Ronson, an accomplished author and documentarian. This discussion delved into Ronson's firsthand experiences with the controversial figure Alex Jones, the shifting landscape of the truth movement, and the thin line between skepticism and belief.Covid, Clots, and Conspiracy TheoriesRonson's personal health scare, contracting Covid-19 and later developing a blood clot, brings a sobering reality to the conversation. It highlights the tangible consequences of the pandemic, contrasting with the rampant Covid denial and misinformation that has infiltrated conspiracy circles. The discussion pivots to the pathological persistence of some conspiracy theorists who refuse to acknowledge their role in spreading harmful misinformation.Examining Alex Jones: A Turn of PerspectiveRonson provides a unique perspective on Alex Jones, painting a picture of a man who consistently doubles down on conspiracy theories, potentially for personal gain rather than seeking truth. His recount of the infamous Bohemian Grove event illustrates the complexities and the theatrics of conspiracy narratives. This segues into a discussion of how some figures within the conspiracy community, including Jones, monetize and weaponize uncertainty to their advantage.Cultural Wars and Class Struggles: The Role of Identity PoliticsThe podcast also touches on the cultural wars that are fueled by identity politics and class struggles. The hosts and Ronson debate how these divisive issues distract from the underlying socioeconomic inequalities that benefit the wealthy. They discuss the often-misunderstood or overstated elements of the culture war, designed to generate conflict and division.The Hero's Journey of Conspiracy TheoristsJoseph Campbell's hero's journey is a concept that resonates deeply with conspiracy theorists. Ronson's exploration of this narrative shows that many within the conspiracy community view themselves as reluctant heroes, engaged in an epic struggle against the perceived dragons of society, such as government overreach and hidden crimes.The Skeptic's Path: From Belief to DisillusionmentSanders and Lee, formerly firm believers in conspiracy theories, share their journeys towards skepticism. They explore the pivotal moments that altered their views, shedding light on the internal conflicts that challenge staunch conspiracy theorists. This transformation from believer to skeptic is rare in a community where doubling down is the norm, providing valuable insights into the psychology of belief systems.In the end, the conversation with Jon Ronson throws a spotlight on the complex, and often contradictory, world of conspiracy theories. Whether as pronounced heroes on a valiant quest or vilified purveyors of falsehoods, conspiracy theorists occupy a controversial space in the collective consciousness. 'Some Dare Call It Conspiracy' invites listeners to critically engage with these narratives and consider their profound impact on society.
Journalist Jon Ronson has made a career out of challenging orthodoxies and examining the fringes of society, from people who've been publicly shamed, to the American military's exploration of paranormal tools, and the porn industry. In the newest season of his BBC podcast Things Fell Apart, he tackles the culture wars and how they exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Ronson joins David Common to talk about his journalistic approach, and why he thinks curiosity should trump ideology in storytelling.

Mick 'Ronno' Ronson may be the greatest sideman of all time. A brilliant producer and multi-instrumentalist, it is nonetheless his incredible guitar playing for which he will most be remembered (as well as excellent hair). Coming out of the glam era as its most important and respected player, he bolstered many famous careers with his taste, tone and touch - although his solo career sadly never really took off. If there was anyone who deserved more, it's Ronno...
Rockshow Episode 181 Mick Ronson Mick Ronson was a British musician, songwriter, and record producer. He is best known for his work as the lead guitarist and musical collaborator for David Bowie in the early 1970s. Ronson's distinctive guitar playing and inventive arrangements played a significant role in shaping Bowie's sound during that era. Born on May 26, 1946, in Kingston upon Hull, England, Ronson began his career as a session musician, working with various artists and bands. He joined David Bowie's backing band, the Spiders from Mars, in 1970, and his contributions were vital to the success of Bowie's albums like "The Man Who Sold the World," "Hunky Dory," and "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars." Mick Ronson's guitar work was characterized by his melodic lines, rich tones, and a keen sense of arrangement. His performances, both on stage and in the studio, were marked by a combination of technical prowess and emotional depth. Ronson's contributions extended beyond guitar playing, as he also arranged strings and played piano on several tracks. After parting ways with Bowie, Ronson went on to release his solo albums, including "Slaughter on 10th Avenue" in 1974 and "Play Don't Worry" in 1975. He continued to collaborate with various artists throughout his career, such as Ian Hunter, Bob Dylan, Morrissey, and many more. Tragically, Mick Ronson passed away on April 29, 1993, at the age of 46, due to liver cancer. However, his impact on music and his enduring influence as a guitarist and producer continue to be recognized and celebrated by fans and musicians alike. https://www.guitarplayer.com/players/mick-ronson-the-rise-and-fall-of-glam-rocks-greatest-guitarist https://www.allmusic.com/artist/mick-ronson-mn0000467853/biography #MickRonson #GuitarLegend #BowieCollaborator #RocknRollIcon #Ronno #SpidersFromMars #GlamRock #MusicLegend #GuitarHero #MusicInnovation Park Dental Care 12419 101st Ave South Richmond Hill Queens (718) 847-3800 https://www.718DENTISTS.com Please follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com https://linktr.ee/RobRossi Get your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup And https://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/ Subscribe to the channel and hit the like button This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support https://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup

RHLSTP Book Club 53 - The Debutante. It's a transatlantic podcast this week as Richard chats to fantastic author and journalist Jon Ronson, in a typically unlikely location in New York. They are chatting about his new Audible audiobook/podcast Debutante, a deep dive into the extraordinary life of Carol Howe, the former debutante who became a Neo-Nazi and then an informant and then… well who can be sure? It's a fascinating and often harrowing investigation into whether the Oklahoma bombing might have been prevented, who might have been involved and the often compelling conspiracy theories that have sprung up. Rich and Jon discuss how he copes with the dangers he puts himself in, the fight between rival strippers that provided a possible clue to whether Timothy Mcveigh was a lone wolf, the importance of keeping a sense of balance and not going down the rabbit hole, how Jon is the Simon Cowell of investigative journalism and whether, as middle aged men, Richard and Jon are in danger of getting obsessed with some mad theory and ruining their lives. It's a lot of fun.Listen to Debutante on Audible https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Debutante-Audiobook/B0BV18S28C.
