It's Marvel Monday and meet Marvel's most powerful hero! ABOUT CAPTAIN MARVEL Carol Danvers becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CAPTAIN MARVEL March 8, 2019 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF CAPTAIN MARVEL Directors: Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck Writers: Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck, Geneva Robertson-Dworet Cast: Brie Larson as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS Carol Danvers is living her best amnesia life on the Kree homeworld of Hala under the name Vers. Got it? Good. She's got superpowers, cool space suits, and a mentor named Yon-Rogg who constantly tells her to stop feeling. The Kree government, which is basically run by a giant AI lady, insists that the evil shape-shifting Skrulls ruined her life and since Carol remembers absolutely nothing, so she just rolls with it. While on a mission to rescue a Kree spy, things immediately go sideways. The Skrulls capture Carol and start digging around in her memories, discovering that she used to be an Air Force pilot on Earth. Their leader Talos becomes very interested in a scientist named Dr. Wendy Lawson and a mysterious light-speed engine. Carol escapes before they get all the answers and crash-lands straight into a Blockbuster Video in 1995 Los Angeles. Her arrival gets the attention of a young Nick Fury, who still has two working eyes and spends most of this movie being confused. After a series of chases, explosions, and Skrulls impersonating anyone they want, Carol starts uncovering pieces of her past. She learns that she wasn't born on Hala at all—she was an Air Force pilot presumed dead after a crash years earlier. As Carol & Nick follow the breadcrumbs, she reconnects with her old friend Maria and Maria's daughter Monica, who are understandably shocked to discover their dead friend is actually a space superhero. Meanwhile, Talos finally reveals that the Skrulls aren't conquering villains at all—they're refugees looking for a home. Turns out the Kree may not have been entirely honest. The biggest bombshell comes when Carol remembers what really happened. Dr. Lawson was actually Mar-Vell, a Kree scientist secretly helping the Skrulls. Shes killed while taking control of an experimental energy source. Carol destroyed the engine to keep it from the Kree, absorbed its energy in the explosion, gained incredible powers, and then had her memories erased so the Kree could turn her into a weapon. The gang tracks down Mar-Vell's hidden space laboratory, where a bunch of Skrull refugees have been hiding. Unfortunately, Starforce shows up, the Kree try to reassert control, and Carol gets dragged before the Supreme Intelligence. She destroys the device limiting her powers and finally goes full Captain Marvel. What follows is a one-sided beatdown thanks to Captain marvel. With the Skrulls safe for the moment, Carol decides to head off into space to help them find a permanent home. Before leaving, she gives Fury a special pager for emergencies. Fury later loses his eye in an incident involving Goose - a cat who is actually an alien who is also holding the Tesseract in its tummy. Looking at Carol's old Air Force call sign, he lands on the perfect name: The Avengers Initiative. In the mid-credits scene, the pager goes off and Carol returns to Earth Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 6, 2026 is: valedictory val-uh-DIK-tuh-ree adjective Valedictory describes something expressing or containing a farewell. // The valedictory speech given by the department chair moved several faculty members to tears. See the entry > Examples: “Did I regret not catching a retrospective showing of ‘Little Miss Sunshine,' in a special valedictory program of Sundance sensations from over the years? Perhaps—though not as much as I regretted missing the screening of Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden's ‘Half Nelson' (2006). That's the title that I remember most fondly from my first year at Sundance ...” — Justin Chang, The New Yorker, 31 Jan. 2026 Did you know? Valedictory addresses delivered by valedictorians at high school and college graduations are as much a sign of spring in the United States as baseball games and cookouts. Though we don't know where the first valedictory address was given, we do know that such addresses were an institution at some colleges in the U.S. by the time Noah Webster wrote his famous 1828 dictionary. (We also know that valedictory was used in non-academic settings—mostly churches, and especially in the phrase “valedictory sermon”—from the mid-1600s.) Since a valedictory speech is given at the end of an academic career, it is perfectly in keeping with the meaning of its Latin ancestor, valedīcere, which means “to say goodbye.”

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmakers Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (CAPTAIN MARVEL, HALF NELSON, SUGAR, IT'S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY, BILLIONS, MASTERS OF THE AIR) join Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss their career journey and the making of their latest film FREAKY TALES. From their fateful meeting during college in NY to the realization that they worked best as a team… to completing film school only to find themselves working as production assistants nowhere near the actual action on set… to the making of HALF NELSON and how the film opened Hollywood's doors for them… to their experiences directing various television series and the billion dollar success of 2019's CAPTAIN MARVEL… to the making of FREAKY TALES (available in a special edition “Late Night” release from Lionsgate this week!) and the careful choices they made on everything from the story's Oakland location, the time period, the fractured timeline, the music, and the detailed set design… to how they cast the amazing (and incredibly in demand) Pedro Pascal and secured a needle drop from the almighty METALLICA for their modestly budgeted film.. to the truth about the “imposter syndrome” almost every director faces and their thoughts on FREAKY TALES theatrical release…Anna and Ryan are two of the busiest and most exciting filmmakers working today! Don't miss THE MOVIE CRYPT's 9th annual YORKIETHON coming up July 25th - 27th! A full weekend of LIVE conversations with celebrity guests, live music, live comedy, live film commentaries, a live script reading, Arwen's Silent Auction, and SO MUCH MORE - all to benefit our friends at Save A Yorkie Rescue and help save dogs that have been abandoned or abused.

“Freaky Tales” is a gritty, sci-fi, action film set mostly in Oakland. The story takes place in 1987. There's a green, glowing, electric energy that hovers in the air above Oakland and it makes people do powerful things. Anna Bolden and Ryan Fleck are the writing/directing team behind the movie.
Cette semaine, la guerre est une raison pour se faire du mal dans Throne of Blood d'Akira Kurosawa et La forteresse suspendue de Roger Cantin. Aussi au programme: Pickpocket de Jia Zhangke, The Spy in Black de Michael Powell, Freaky Tales d'Anna Boden et Ryan Fleck ainsi que le tout nouveau chapitre dans la saga des Mission: Impossible!
This week on End Credits things get freaky... er. Not really. Things are plenty freaky without this week's new movie, which just so happens to be called Freaky Tales. This one features an actor so big that he now has a whole summer of movies dedicated to him, but like many actors he had humble beginnings on a massive HBO show about dragons. Let's dig in! This Wednesday, May 14, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Game of Roles. This week's movie stars Pedro Pascal, and it officially kicks off what we're called "Pedro Summer"! Pascal's been a working actor for years, but he got his big break o Game of Thrones, and like a lot of members of that massive cast he was able to parlay that success into bigger roles in bigger projects. To kick off this week's show, we will talk about some of the actors that won the Game for Hollywood success! REVIEW: Freaky Tales (2025). May 10, 1987. The Golden State Warriors are in a playoff game against the L.A. Lakers, and all-star "Sleepy" Floyd has the best game any NBA player has ever had. These are things that actually happened, and they are among the many events that unfold in Freaky Tales, an action comedy anthology set in Oakland, from Oakland-born filmmakers Anne Boden and Ryan Fleck. The movie blends fact and fiction, fantasy and reality, but this week we'll answer the question: Is Freaky Tales good or is it bad? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
The filmmaking duo of Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck have a new movie out that relays four interconnected stories set in 1987 Oakland, CA revolving around a mysterious force that guides the area underdogs. We've got a review of FREAKY TALES plus some movie news & a joint recommendation from our hosts of a movie you should consider watching. Recommendation - Nickel Boys
Paul and Erin review a host of new movies, including blockbusters like SINNERS and worthwhile indies like THE RULE OF JENNY PEN, THE ACTOR and EEPHUS.

And on The Treat, Oscar-nominated director James Mangold talks about a film that shows the darker side of the big apple.

This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt engage with (or is it test) their love of anthology films with Ryan Fleck's and Anna Boden's ‘Freaky Tales'. A set of tall, kinda' true tales set in Oakland in 1987. Do the creative team behind ‘Half Nelson' and ‘Captain Marvel' spin an engaging, winding, and ultimately cohesive tale? Chris explains why ‘Death Of A Unicorn' was booted. And there's the magical rundown of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Viper Video Picks of the Week! Matt and Chris then close out the proceedings with a loving homage to Val Kilmer as they discuss their favorite Val performances.

We couldn't have imagined a more random episode to leave you with before spring break, but hopefully there's a little something for everyone here at Breakfast All Day. We begin with "The Friend," a warm and wise drama about grief, healing, and a 150-pound Great Dane. We don't totally agree on how well this movie works, but the dog is amazing. Starring Naomi Watts, Bill Murray, Carla Gugino and Ann Dowd. In theaters. Next up is the four-part anthology "Freaky Tales," from "Captain Marvel" filmmakers Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, returning to their indie roots. Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Jay Ellis, Dominique Thorne and Too $hort are among the stars of this intertwined homage to 1987 Oakland. In theaters. Finally, we catch up with "Holland," but you're welcome to avoid it. Nicole Kidman, Matthew Macfadyen and Gael García Bernal star in this overly familiar dark comedy about secrets lurking beneath the pristine veneer of small-town America. Streaming on Prime Video. No news this week because Christy's on vacation. But if you're a member of our Patreon, keep an eye out for our recap of "The White Lotus" season finale on Monday morning. Thanks for being here!

"Freaky Tales" had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its homage to 80's genre films and Oakland, California, with a game cast who were all tuned in to filmmakers Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's distinct vision for the anthology film. Starring Pedro Pascal, Jay Ellis, Normani Kordei Hamilton, Dominque Thorne, Ben Mendelsohn, Ji-young Yoo, Jack Champion, Angus Cloud & Kier Gilchrist, the film depicts four interconnected stories taking place at real locations and during real historical events in 1987 Oakland, California. Boden and Fleck were both kind enough to speak with me about their work on the film, which you can listen to below.

The Professor is sick, so the TA's take over and class jumps into 2019's Captain Marvel starring Brie Larson, directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. Of course we barely get into the movie because of all the side tracks. TBJ continues to try to sell Art's thigh meat on Only Fans and more!
Joe & Adam dig into Half Nelson, the critical darling from 2006 directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, and starring a young Gosling. They talk white saviours, and generally struggle to get a handle on what the film is actually about. There is a fun Gosling Game to be played though.

Written and directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, Mississippi Grind is a movie about a lonely and depressed gambling addict named Gerry (played by Ben Mendelsohn) who meets a charismatic wandering soul at a poker tournament in Iowa named Curtis (played by Ryan Reynolds). After a night out where Curtis and Gerry get along famously: we figure out Gerry owes money to a bookie, he hates his job, and his wife left him years ago. He convinces Curtis to stake him money and go on a road trip down to New Orleans, so he can try his luck in a high stakes poker game. Special guest and former online tournament poker player Caitlin Kiska gives her wisdom on how Mississippi Grind depicts poker and the gambling world. What grade's will the A24 Rocks gang give this one? Caution: movie spoilers. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/a24otr/support
