In this episode, we share our review of the entire Ironheart series on Disney+, covering all six episodes and breaking down everything from character arcs to comic book connections. We discuss Riri Williams' evolution from MIT genius to armored hero, and why she makes the controversial choice to work with criminals like Parker Robbins (The Hood). We explore her emotional core—losing her stepdad and best friend Natalie—and how Natalie's return as an AI (N.A.T.A.L.I.E.) shapes the story.We get into Parker Robbins' origin, how he gets his powers, and what drives his twisted version of “success.” We discuss how his cousin John's death affects him, and why his partnership with Mephisto (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) felt more like a sketch comedy bit than a serious villain debut.We also explore characters like Xavier Washington, who has one of the most emotionally grounded scenes in the series, and Ezekiel Stane, whose character arc goes from promising villain to comic relief under Parker's control.Zelma Stanton's role introduces the magical side of the Marvel universe, which adds a mystical layer to Riri's otherwise tech-based story. We share our thoughts on how well that blend worked—and whether it makes sense for Riri to embrace magic so quickly.We talk through key moments like the Heirlum facility showdown, the reveal of Parker's motives, Riri building a new magic-powered suit from car parts, and her deal with Mephisto to bring Natalie back. We also unpack the mid-credits scene and speculate on a possible second season.We discuss what worked, what didn't, and what this series means for the future of Ironheart in the MCU.

Kate Flannery and Oscar Nuñez had a mini "Office" reunion on last night's season finale of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and went ALL THE WAY! (You'd know them as Meredith and Oscar on the show.) They even called up Brian Baumgartner (Kevin) for their "Phone-a-Friend" lifeline. As for the million-dollar question? "The word 'planet' comes from an ancient Greek word that literally means what?" Their options were "powerful," "immortal," "stranger," and "wanderer" . . . the answer being "wanderer". Kate and Oscar will be splitting their winnings between Planned Parenthood and a Philadelphia-based food bank called Philabundance. Fresh off Coachella comes Stagecoach!

She'll appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on October 6, just three days after her album release and one day after fiancé Travis Kelce's birthday. Fallon teased the appearance in a cryptic roulette-themed post landing on Swift's lucky number, 13. This marks Taylor's seventh Tonight Show stop, alongside guests Keri Russell and a performance from The Format.Queen Eyeing Vegas Sphere ResidencyBrian May says Queen is seriously considering a Las Vegas Sphere residency after seeing the Eagles perform there.

Katie Couric pokes fun at Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad in a new PSA for colon cancer screenings. The clip opens to a close-up of Katie wearing a jean jacket, and quickly pans out to show she's wearing a hospital gown underneath, and she's on a gurney getting ready for a colonoscopy. She tells the camera, quote, "Speaking of genes. Did you know that the majority of people who develop colon cancer are not genetically predisposed to the disease? That's why doctors recommend everyone 45 and older get checked." Katie told "People" magazine, quote, "That ad showed how pop culture and a pair of jeans could really shape the cultural conversation, it was everywhere. It was a moment in time, and we thought, 'Why don't we ride that horse a little bit longer and have some fun with it?'" It'sbeen 25 years since Katie became the first person in history to broadcast a colonoscopy on national TV. She lost her husband to colon cancer in 1998. He was only 42. One of the most famous homes in American history is opening its doors to the public for the first time ever. The "Brady Bunch" house in North Hollywood will be accessible to fans on November 7th, 8th, and 9th. And while bookings are sold out, you can register to be on a waitlist, or be notified if additional dates become available. When the show was in production back in the day, the house was only used for EXTERIOR shots. The inside of the Brady home was created on a soundstage, and the inside of the actual house looked nothing like it. But HGTV bought the house in 2018, and renovated it so that it DOES match the house from the show. And of course, they recorded it for a series called "A Very Brady Renovation". Alyssa Milano, now 52, announced on Instagram that she underwent surgery to remove her breast implants—calling it a step toward reclaiming her body. She wrote that she's letting go of “false narratives” and a body she felt was “sexualized” and “abused.” Page Six+2People.com+2Milano said she once believed implants were essential to being attractive, loved, or successful—but now emphasizes that her worth doesn't depend on them. People.com+2The Cut+2 She also expressed hope that her 11-year-old daughter will be spared similar pressure. Page Six+1She made clear this was her personal decision and not a judgment on others who choose differently. People.com+2The Cut+2 After the procedure, she posted she's resting comfortably and thanked fans for their support. Sacha Baron Cohen, 53, has been spotted on a dinner date with 27-year-old OnlyFans creator Hannah Palmer, just months after finalizing his $75 million divorce from Isla Fisher. Page SixThe pair were seen leaving the restaurant separately before getting into the same Cadillac Escalade. Page Six+1Sources say they first met at Taika Waititi's 50th birthday party in Ibiza, with Rita Ora reportedly introducing them. Although the age gap raised eyebrows, insiders say they “seemed to be getting on really well.” Page Six+1Cohen and Fisher married in 2010, share three children, and announced their split in 2024 before finalizing the divorce this past June. Action legend Chuck Norris, now 85, marked his birthday by hiking Lassen Peak in Northern California—a strenuous trail rising to 10,457 feet. The round-trip journey spans about 5 miles and climbs 2,000 feet, often taking 4 to 5 hours to complete. Outside OnlineOn Instagram, Norris reflected on the trail's long recovery since the 2021 Dixie Fire, saying while the damage is heartbreaking, “the park's beauty still shines through.” Outside Online+2Active NorCal+2 He also credited his wife for introducing him to the region's natural splendor. It's official: HBO Max wants to traumatize your children. What other reason could there be for them to produce a brand new, animated version of "Charlotte's Web", one of the greatest children's stories ever told . . . until it becomes the most heart-wrenchingly brutal story in the history of mankind? This one is a limited series, told in three parts, which will all be released on Thursday, October 2nd. It stars Amy Adams as Charlotte, Elijah Wood as Wilbur the pig, and Jean Smart as the narrator. The voice cast also includes Cynthia Erivo, Randall Park, and Rosario Dawson. HBO Max released a clip yesterday of a scene between Charlotte and the young version of Wilbur, voiced by Griffin Robert Faulkner.

Lagom till löningen så fortsätter vi vårat Will Ferell-tema fortsätter med en film som i mångt och mycket anses vara en modern klassiker i komedi-sammanhang, nämligen "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby". Som alltid när det gäller Mr. Ferrell som bjuds det på idel gapskratt med ikoniska one-liners såsom "Hakuna Matata, bitches!" och "If you're not first, you're last!".   Har ni någon favoritscen från filmen? Dela gärna med er!   Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006): "Talladega Nights berättar historien om Ricky Bobby (Ferrell), en kille som lever efter mottot "Om du inte är först, så är du sist", ett visdomsord han fick av sin far innan denne lämnade familjen. Ricky Bobby jobbar som mekaniker men blir racingstjärna och amerikansk nationalhjälte efter att hoppat in som ersättare i ett NASCAR-lopp och därefter vunnit en massa tävlingar. Han och hans barndomskompis och lojale vän Cal Naughton, Jr. (Reilly) blir kända som den orädda duon "Shake 'N' Bake", som hjälper varandra att komma etta och tvåa i loppen, Cal alltid som tvåa. En dag träder den franske homosexuelle Formel 1-föraren Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen) in och hotar Ricky Bobbys status som mästarförare."   Superlänk till våra plattformar: http://linktr.ee/filmsmakarna   #WillFerrell #JohnCReilly #SachaBaronCohen #TalladegaNights #RickyBobby #AdamMcKay

When longtime tennis partners - kidding, they were married - Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen announced that they were putting their racquets down back in April 2024, they noted that they had jointly filed for divorce in 2023. Which raises a question about why they chose to announce their split at that particular moment. Turns out, it might have to do with the release of a memoir from a former co-star - Rebel Wilson.

Khloe Kardashian has her own podcast because she's soooo interesting to listen to. Her first episode was an interview her former brother-in-law Scott Disick, who is not a real person but a character that's being played by Will Ferrell. She also does an AMA that consists of the dumbest questions and answers possibly possible.  Doug from Good Times Great Movies joins us to try to explain how Scott could be this stupid. A recent episode of Lucy Does Dabbleverse ended with a thud. Brendan Schaub is still doing The Golden Hour and he talks to Chris D'Elia and Erik Griffin about almost firing his producer immediately after having the guy move to Austin. The question remains, what is Erik laughing at? A guy who has worked with Sacha Baron Cohen explains why he's way more talented than Stuttering John. Opie ate a THC gummy before watching a football game and his brain melted for some reason.

Episode Summary: In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas break down the final three episodes of Ironheart, diving into how the show blends tech with magic, explores grief and mental health, and reintroduces Mephisto in a big way. From chaotic battles to powerful AI projections, they unpack the highs, lows, and everything in between. They discuss the MCU's shift into deeper themes, character arcs like The Hood's descent, Natalie's complex identity, and the MCU's growing use of magic as a tool for emotional storytelling. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Intro and spoiler warning 00:15 Initial reactions to the tone shift and episode structure 01:18 Magic in the MCU and Ironheart's connection 02:51 Mental health in Riri's journey 05:04 Natalie as therapy-influenced AI 06:57 AI vs memory: interpreting Natalie 10:15 White Castle fight scene and power scaling debate 12:02 Riri's engineering vs hand-to-hand combat 13:35 Zeke, The Hood, and the villain overload 14:41 Suit upgrades, magic montage, and chaos magic 17:06 Mephisto's role and Dormammu nod 24:07 Comic accuracy vs reinvention 25:57 MCU flexibility and changes to canon 28:54 Technology-meets-magic theme 31:01 AI projections and grief 33:04 MCU's future with Vision Quest and Ultron 35:03 Sacha Baron Cohen as Mephisto 36:37 The devil's deal and Natalie's return 37:25 Final suit thoughts 38:55 Thunderbolts, Champions, or New Avengers? 41:00 Post-credits scene breakdown 42:22 Hood's possible redemption 43:00 Final ratings and closing thoughts 44:44 Hopes for the MCU's next phase Key Takeaways: Ironheart explores mental health in nuanced ways, especially through Riri's breakdowns and support from Natalie. The show's shift into magic territory marks a new, risky direction for the character but pays off in Episode 6. Mephisto is back, and Sacha Baron Cohen's performance steals the show in just minutes. The Natalie AI walks a fine line between grief processing and synthetic memory. Riri's intelligence is highlighted less through her tech than it could've been—missed opportunities for showing her engineering skills. The MCU is clearly setting up more stories around AI, magic, and emotional cost, hinting at projects like Vision Quest, Armor Wars, and Doctor Strange 4. The Hood and Zelma Stanton's roles suggest major connections to Doctor Strange and Mephisto storylines ahead. Quotes: “Magic always takes something. It's not just about power—it's about sacrifice.” “Natalie is what your brain wants to hear, even if it's not what you need.” “They made Ironheart different from the comics, but if you're going to make big swings, at least make them interesting.” “Anthony Ramos brought heat. He made The Hood feel dangerous, sympathetic, and tragic—all in one season.” “That final suit? Bit Wakanda Forever. Still slick though.” Call to Action: Enjoyed the breakdown?

The 11 o Clock Show In the twilight years of the 1990s, The 11 O'Clock Show exploded onto Channel 4 as a sharp, satirical late-night comedy that would come to define a cultural shift in British humour. Launched in 1998, the show embraced controversy, irreverence, and chaos—offering a blend of current affairs commentary, anarchic sketches, and daring character work. What began as an experimental format with modest expectations quickly grew into a breeding ground for some of the most iconic comedic voices of the next two decades. This episode explores how The 11 O'Clock Show served as the launchpad for then-unknown talents like Sacha Baron Cohen, Ricky Gervais, and Mackenzie Crook. We revisit Ali G's legendary rise from fringe character to cultural juggernaut, Ricky Gervais' early incarnations of cringe comedy, and Crook's subtle brilliance in darkly offbeat sketches. All three would go on to revolutionise British and global comedy in their own ways, but it was this chaotic Channel 4 late-nighter where the seeds were first sown. Behind the camera, the writing talent was equally impressive, with future stars like Charlie Brooker and John Oliver contributing to the show's jagged, boundary-testing tone. With contributions from Father Ted creators and Borat collaborators, The 11 O'Clock Show was a nexus of comedy evolution, fusing tabloid cynicism with Gen X sarcasm. The episode also unpacks the cultural moment that gave rise to the show: a time when New Labour's gloss was beginning to crack, political correctness was being loudly challenged, and the media was becoming increasingly self-aware. The 11 O'Clock Show didn't always get it right—it could be juvenile, offensive, and uneven—but it helped pave the way for the next era of British satire. More than two decades later, the show's influence can still be felt in the tone, style, and structure of modern comedy. From Ali G's real-world interviews to the cringe-laced realism of The Office, The 11 O'Clock Show helped rewrite the rules of televised humour. This episode takes you back to the messy, brilliant, late-night chaos that changed the face of comedy—whether Channel 4 knew it or not.

In 2019, Netflix released a six-episode miniseries starring the English comedian and actor Sacha Baron Cohen. Cohen played an Israeli spy, Eli Cohen. The latter Cohen was a Jewish immigrant from Egypt who, once in Israel, was recruited and trained by the Mossad. He then assumed the identity of Kamel Amin Thaabet, a wealthy Arab businessman who, having eventually moved to Damascus, became a backer and confidant of key officials in the Baath party. From his home in Syria, Cohen as Thaabet dispatched vast quantities of military and political intelligence to the Israelis throughout the early 1960s. Viewers of the Netflix show, The Spy, see all of this dramatized, as they also see Cohen's eventual capture, torture, and hanging. The Netflix series, and the story it brings to a new generation of viewers, is true.   Eli Cohen is celebrated as one of Israel's great intelligence agents, one of its great mistaravim, or those who assume the identity of Arabs to carry out their missions. There are streets and institutions and many children and even, in the Golan, a town in Israel named after Eli Cohen. For 60 years the Israeli government has tried to persuade, bribe, cajole, and if necessary steal the Syrian government's Eli Cohen file. During the rule of Hafez and Bashar al-Assad, they could not get them. With the fall of the Assad regime, and with a new regime in Damascus looking to curry favor with the United States and the West, earlier this week the Syrians handed over some 2,500 documents from Syria's Eli Cohen file.   This week, Yossi Melman—a Haaretz reporter, journalist, and author of some eight English-language books on Israeli intelligence—joins Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to talk about Eli Cohen, what Israel has reclaimed, and why this story remains so important some six decades on.

We know you love a good Dumpster Dive (our analytics make that very clear!), so we're back with another rundown of all the celebrity news that fits. In the dumpster this week: A case from the UK where a 25-year-old woman has pleaded guilty to "cyber-farting" messages to her boyfriend's ex as a form of harassment. Melissa Gilbert took some strays from washed up emotional vampire Megyn Kelly over a Little House on the Prairie reboot and let's just say that America's Sweetheart was having none of it. Actress Isla Fisher ended 2024 with a note of gratitude as she navigates her post-divorce life from comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. Biana Censori, partner or wife of antisemitic rapper Ye, let it all hang out at the Grammys the other night, before police escorted both of them away from the event. Is Jennifer Garner's boyfriend trying to bail? Page Six has an odd piece about a supposed "insider" complaining on businessman boyfriend John Miller's behalf about how much time Jen is spending with her ex-husband Ben Affleck. Something to watch?
