Tune in as Rolo Tony (@PoorOldRoloTony, These Guys Got Juice, and Unsourced Wall Radio) returns to the program to cover Dead Calm, the 1989 thriller about an Australian couple who tries to move past a devastating loss together by sailing on a yacht through the Pacific Ocean, which results in them running into danger after saving a lone man from a sinking schooner. George Miller's involvement as a ghost director, Hughie being such a menacing creep, that over-the-top ending and how it might have benefitted from some adjustments, and anti-small dog propaganda turn out to be a few of the topics for this episode.Directed by Phillip Noyce, Dead Calm stars Nicole Kidman, Sam Neill, Billy Zane, Rod Mullinar, Lisa Collins, Paula Hudson-Brinkley, Sharon Cook, and Malinda Rutter.Spoilers start at 35:55Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere's how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere's how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere's how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Both Rolo Tony and Arthur: Predators (2025)Reach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsFollow Arthur's Bookstagram: @arthurs.book.nookFollow Arthur's movie and TV Instagram: @arthurswatchesCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree

Jason Sacks, Paul McCoy, and Shawn Hill dig into the second two-thirds of John Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy: Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness. With Shawn watching both films for the first time, the hosts unpack Carpenter's blend of theology, quantum physics, and cosmic horror in Prince of Darkness — from its "Jesus was an alien" mythology to its unsettling practical effects and claustrophobic, single-location setting. They then shift to In the Mouth of Madness, exploring its Lovecraftian roots, Sam Neill's descent into madness, Sutter Cane's reality-warping influence, and the film's eerily prescient commentary on fandom, mass media, and "normies" who can't handle hidden truths. The trio compares both films' practical effects, dissects Carpenter's recurring themes of isolation and inevitable doom, and closes with a look ahead at the director's 90s output. A must-listen for horror fans and Carpenter completists alike.Timestamps00:00:01 – Intro: diving into the Apocalypse Trilogy's middle chapters, first impressions of Jameson Parker00:19:10 – Prince of Darkness mythology: the guardian sacrifice and the nature of evil at the church00:38:01 – The single-location, "haunted house" structure of Prince of Darkness and its practical effects00:54:18 – Transition into In the Mouth of Madness: Sutter Kane's reality-bending artwork and dimension-hopping horror01:16:11 – "Normies" and mass media: the film's commentary on audiences who can't handle deeper truths01:34:12 – Lovecraft's lasting influence, John Trent as ultimate fanboy, and wrapping toward Carpenter's 90s filmsHashtags#JohnCarpenter #PrinceOfDarkness #InTheMouthOfMadness #ApocalypseTrilogy #HorrorMoviePodcast #Lovecraftian #SamNeill #CosmicHorror #90sHorror #PracticalEffects #HorrorFilmAnalysis #CultClassics
This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes take a look at "Restoration", the 1995 period drama starring Robert Downey Jr. and Sam Neill.Neither Mike Butler nor Mike Field had seen the film before, and both come away impressed. The performances are excellent across the board, with Downey Jr. carrying the film beautifully and Sam Neill standing out as King Charles II, played as both a philandering monarch and a surprisingly wise, compassionate ruler. The costumes and production design are equally impressive, more than earning the recognition they received during awards season.Where the film loses some momentum is in the way its story is structured. "Restoration" unfolds almost like a series of vignettes, and while many of those individual sections work, the transitions between them can leave the movie feeling disjointed. Field particularly struggles with the Meg Ryan and Quaker hospital portion of the story, while Butler believes those scenes are important but also suspects the film may be missing connective material that would have helped everything flow together more naturally.At the same time, both Mikes appreciate that "Restoration" avoids one of the most common traps of the historical drama. It never becomes a bloated period epic. The film moves quickly, keeps its focus relatively tight, and trusts its actors and production design to do much of the heavy lifting.While neither Butler nor Field quite loves the movie, both find plenty to admire and would easily recommend "Restoration" to anyone interested in history, great performances, or the craft of filmmaking itself.What are some other forgotten period piece films we might like? Let us know in the comments below!

Well many weeks after recording I finally edited this episode (sorry for the delay sometimes life gets in the way). The gang is back for some good and bad movie discussion and our usual nonsense. Shane gives his review of child labor Temu T-shirts, Ryan is entering the geriatric phase of life and needs reading glasses now, and Mike is back on the Elden Ring wagon while he works on his house. The boys consider changing the format to reviewing podcasts instead of movies, speaking of reviews, Ryan reviews some recently read books The House that Horror Built, The Staircase in the Woods, and Breeding Ground. New trailers for #attackofthekillertomatoes #streetfighter and we all pay homage to the late, great Sam Neill R.I.P. Onto some more film discussions we review #LeeCroninsTheMummy #EvilDeadBurn and #MortalKombat2. Also included is a bonus review of #MastersoftheUniverse and a special guest appearance at the end of the podcast!

The BTTM crew are hosting a screening of GILLIAN ARMSTRONG's film MY BRILLIANT CAREER (1979) for American Cinematheque's Friend of the Fest 2026 on Saturday, August 22, at 10:15pm. In anticipation of that screening, we invited Allison Smith of Smith and Taylor Classics (who will also intro the screening) to discuss both the film and the novel from which it was adapted, Miles Franklin's landmark debut My Brilliant Career (1901). (We do touch upon the new Netflix miniseries. Ahem... Briefly.) Spoiler alert: Miles Franklin's novel is a masterful self-portrait of a self-determined (and self-centered) young woman wriggling free from the roles that her family and Australian society would place her in, and Gillian Armstrong's film is a deft and sensitive distillation of that narrative and that spirit into something brief and beautiful. The film also benefits from star-making turns from Judy Davis and Sam Neill. If you're planning on coming to the show at the Los Feliz 3 on August 22 or not, this should be a fun and informative listen. Also, if you'd like to hear one of Allison's earlier appearances on BTTM, you should check out her unique contributions to Better Than the Movie 20: THE POLAR EXPRESS w/ Natalie Freeman and Allison Woodnutt. It's an unforgettable episode (that we totally forgot about in our discussion here). Hosted by Allan Traylor and Justin Remer. (We missed ya, Tyler.) Produced by Justin Remer. Recorded at the LAPL Octavia Lab. Check out the "Better Than the Movie" audiobook playlist on Libro.fm - https://libro.fm/playlists/skylight-better-than-the-movie Opening music: "Optimism (Instrumental)" by Duck the Piano Wire. Closing music: "Rule of 3s (Solemnity Child)" by Elastic No-No Band.

Hello everyone! This week it's Rod and Ben again playing Choose Your Row, reviewing "One Night Only" and an early Sam Neill film, talking TV like "Ted Lasso" and "House of the Dragon", a few rounds of This Or That, and some news topics. Then, we go back and forth sharing some films that we have deemed comfort films, including several we don't mention that often. Tune in to find out what they are!
(00:00:00) Casual Greeting and Technical Difficulty (00:01:09) The Definition of Cyberpunk (00:02:24) Exploring Cyberpunk in Modern Media (00:03:50) Astro-Cyberpunk: A New Frontier? (00:07:41) The Expanse Connection (00:16:30) Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay Experience (00:25:16) Easter Eggs and Side Quests (00:38:27) Phantom Liberty and Game Progression (00:43:59) Other Cyberpunk Media and Personal Projects (00:44:09) The Art of Lego Building On this week's episode, Joe kicks things off with an exciting announcement about his venture into the world of William Gibson's seminal work, Neuromancer. He shares his initial impressions of the novel, highlighting its groundbreaking exploration of cyberspace and artificial intelligence, and how it has influenced the Cyberpunk genre as a whole. This naturally leads to a broader discussion about the Cyberpunk genre, where Joe and his co-host delve into various forms of media that embody this aesthetic and thematic style, including influential books, iconic movies, and immersive video games that have shaped the landscape of this genre over the years.As the conversation unfolds, Joe turns his attention to Cody, inquiring about his progress in his fourth attempt to navigate the sprawling narrative of Cyberpunk 2077. Cody reflects on his experiences with the game, discussing the challenges he has faced, the choices he has made, and how the game's rich storytelling and complex characters have drawn him back in, despite previous hurdles. They contemplate the game's open-world design, its intricate quests, and the moral dilemmas that players encounter, which are hallmarks of the Cyberpunk genre.Following this engaging discussion, Joe shares his thoughts on the new Ghost in the Shell anime series available on Prime Video. He expresses his enthusiasm for the animation style and storytelling, comparing it to the original films and the impact that Ghost in the Shell has had on both the Cyberpunk genre and the anime industry as a whole. Joe discusses the themes of identity, consciousness, and technology that the series explores, and how these elements resonate with contemporary issues in our digital age.As the episode progresses, there is a brief yet poignant discussion about the late, great Sam Neill, who has recently been announced as part of the cast for the upcoming live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda. Joe and Cody reminisce about Neill's illustrious career and his contributions to the film industry, reflecting on his memorable performances and the impact he has had on audiences worldwide. They ponder what his involvement in such a beloved franchise might mean for the project and how his unique acting style could bring depth to the characters in this iconic video game adaptation.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

New film 'The Fox' is a magic realism-style comic fable featuring one of the last on-screen appearances of Sir Sam Neill.
Only one thing drew us to pick this film, and his name is Sam Neill. The late, great Sam is in this film, and even though he's not the MAIN subject, we like it nonetheless. Well, kind of. Enjoy our chat about SIRENS!

But if we are talking about using your Wii Remote to aim a virtual gun, I have to give the award for best usage to Resident Evil 4 on the Wii and of course the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Shooting zombies or space pirates never felt so good!! But while all of these are some of the best of the best of the motion control era of gaming, my true favorite lies within a much more lesser known title found on the 3DS (and I think PS Vita) made by Drinkbox Studios. That game is Severed--a game about battling your way through a purgatory-like dreamworld full of demons that you slice and dice with a sword using your stylus! The game's main themes are dealing with trauma, revenge, and loss. And of course, it all ends with acceptance.
Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.Marvel Studios appears to have found the leader of its new mutant team, as Deadline reported last week that Heartstopper and Warfare star Kit Connor has landed the role of Scott Summers, better known as Cyclops, in the future MCU X-Men film. Sources say Connor went through much the same process as Samara Weaving, who was attached as Emma Frost the week prior, meeting with Schreier and Marvel president Kevin Feige alongside a group of candidates who tested after the July 4th holiday before the studio settled on him. Neither Marvel nor Connor has confirmed the casting, and the film, written by Beef creator Lee Sung Jin and The Bear co-creator Joanna Calo, still has no release date. Cyclops has been played on screen before by James Marsden and Tye Sheridan, with Marsden set to reprise the role in December's Avengers: Doomsday. Sony and Marvel Studios' Spider-Man: Brand New Day crossed the one-billion-dollar mark overseas in just twelve days of release, making it the second-fastest film ever to reach that number abroad behind Avengers: Endgame. The Destin Daniel Cretton film now stands at $1.67 billion worldwide, split between $654.3 million domestically and $1.013 billion internationally, which makes it the twelfth highest-grossing movie of all time and only the sixteenth ever to clear a billion in foreign markets alone. Universal had a milestone of its own to celebrate, as Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey passed $1.1 billion worldwide to become the highest-grossing film of his career ahead of The Dark Knight Rises, while also becoming the biggest IMAX release ever with $289 million, and it still has China to open on Friday. James Gunn spent part of a Threads session last week putting down one of the most persistent rumors surrounding Matt Reeves' Batman trilogy, telling a fan who asked whether The Batman Part III was being filmed simultaneously with Part II simply, “I can deny.” The theory had gained steam over years of delays, most recently when a redesigned Part II logo appeared to work a Roman numeral III into the artwork, and it offered fans a tidy explanation for why the sequel has taken so long to arrive. In reality, Part II only began principal photography in London in June, and Warner Bros. has already pushed the film from October 2027 to February 18, 2028. Sony and Nintendo's live-action The Legend of Zelda has cast Australian actor Uli Latukefu as Ganondorf under a multi-picture deal, with Severance's Dichen Lachman playing Impa and The Handmaid's Tale's Yvonne Strahovski reported as a queen character. The late Sam Neill also filmed an undisclosed role before his death on July 13, marking one of the final screen performances of his career.Gareth Edwards has exited Universal and Amblin's untitled Jurassic World Rebirth sequel over creative differences, with the studios now searching for a replacement; David Koepp's script is finished and Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey are all still expected back for a 2027 shoot.A24 released the full trailer for Primetime, the Lance Oppenheim drama that Robert Pattinson produces and stars in as To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen, in theaters September 25.Lionsgate has confirmed that Michael 2 is targeting a production start toward the end of this year or in early 2027, with the sequel to this year's Michael Jackson biopic aiming for a 2028 release.Lionsgate is also developing a new Leprechaun film written by horror veterans Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, reviving a franchise that ran eight movies between 1993 and 2018.Nicholas Hoult has been cast in season 2 of HBO's Harry Potter series as Gilderoy Lockhart, a major character in The Chamber of Secrets that was portrayed by Kenneth Branagh in the 2002 film adaptation.

A new vaccine to tackle Ebola will now be tested on people after the UK regulator gave permission for trials to take place. University of Oxford scientists began developing the vaccine - aimed at tackling the Bundibugyo species of the virus - eight weeks ago, when a public health emergency was declared by the World Health Organization. It is the first - out of four vaccines under development - to enter clinical trials. The epidemic, centred on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has killed more than 700 people. Also: the dispute over who controls the Strait of Hormuz has intensified with some of the heaviest exchanges of fire since the US and Iran agreed an interim peace deal last month. The Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has visited the wildfire zone in the southern province of Almería, where 13 people have died. Almost 3 million people in China have been evacuated from their homes as a result of Typhoon Bavi. The actor Sam Neill, known for films such as Jurassic Park and the Piano, has died at the age of 78.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

Trump speaks out after Sen. Lindsey Graham died suddenly at 71 — and what he said (plus the real cause of death) hits different. Lindsey Graham, the longtime South Carolina senator and key Trump ally, passed away Saturday from a brief and sudden illness. Preliminary findings show it was an aortic dissection caused by arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. He had a call with President Trump just hours earlier. Trump called him one of the greatest people and senators he ever knew — a true American patriot who was always working.
