It should be no secret by now to our loyal listeners that Sam and I disagree— a lot. Thankfully we have the kind of love and respect for each other that's endured many decades since we were but younglings. Sam had to persuade me with ingratiating smiles and a pocketful of Scooby Snacks to get me to watch this film. It's not that I'm an AI “hater” but, much like Samantha, the AI character in this film (and voiced wonderfully by Scarlett Johansson) who confesses she might be in love with 632 people simultaneously —it's complicated. I just can't envision a future where AI achieves, at least in a humanistic sense, consciousness. Maybe that's where I struggle. We humans have a tendency to anthropomorphize. Right now I look at AI as a helpful tool, much like the “Camera Lucida” of 19th century illustrators. It can help build the framework, but the details, the execution, the art of creation still depends on human collaboration. Can AI evolve to fill the void of human loneliness? That remains to be seen, and when and if that day comes, I hope that we can be wise and generous enough to build a positive, autonomous, and symbiotic relationship with AI that will be healthy for both halves of the relationship.—BethCue generic and friendly yet slightly ominous baritone voiceover: In a World not so different from our own...well, Spike Jonze almost called it in his nearly prophetic film *Her* (2013). AI is a contentious subject. Gemini, Claude, Open AI, Deep Think, errr, Replika? Whatever you feel about AI, the genie is out of the bottle. Code it, coddle it, marry it or ignore it. It's here and your feelings (prompts) receive lightning fast answers to your deepest questions. Sure, the answers are based on probabilistic reasoning, but wait a month. *Her* delivers a world where your chatbot just might end up being your best friend or rebound girlfriend. This film pushes past its release date of 2013 and lands as real mind food in 2026. Come for the sublime cinematography, but stay for the deeper questions that will keep you up late at night.

Christopher Nolan fully became Christopher Nolan with The Prestige—a masterpiece that juggles seven interweaving timelines, multiple perspectives, and red herrings that all snap into focus. Join Laci and Matt for a behind-the-scenes deep dive into how Nolan transformed Christopher Priest's novel into cinema's ultimate puzzle box, plus the career impact this movie had on everything he made after. Laci and Matt go through the history of this movie, starting with the novel by Christopher Priest that inspired it. Then they go behind the scenes of the movie and talk about the Nolan brothers' yearslong struggle to adapt it. One issue for Nolan: Magic on screen is not exciting like magic is in person. So instead,  After that, a look at Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, and how each of their upbringings and acting styles informs the characters they play. Not only that, Jackman, Bale, Angier, and Borden all reflect parts of Christopher Nolan's schizophrenic directorial personality, torn between a populist, a puzzle maker, a hoity-toity artiste, and a crowd pleaser. Then: The Prestige. We discuss it in depth, theorize about all kinds of weird crap that's going on in the background of the movie, and gush over Bale, Jackman, Michael Caine, and Rebecca Hall, and marvel at how Nolan managed to pull off this magic trick of a movie.   Watch this episode in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pdPkvpEMCw0  No new episode next week (July 3, 2026). We'll be back on Friday, July 10, 2026 with episode 200, about The Dark Knight (2008)!

主播：Emma（中国）+ Maelle（法国）音乐：哈兰德进行曲最近中国球迷都在网上求一个东西。不是球鞋，不是签名，不是球衣，not even a football. 而是——足球球星哈兰德扎头发用的小橡皮筋。他甚至还在网上出了一个教程教大家how he ties his hair。那么，今天我们就来聊聊这位既能疯狂进球，又能疯狂贡献表情包的男人——埃尔林·哈兰德。01. Who is Haaland? 哈兰德是谁？哈兰德（Erling Haaland）来自挪威。He is a Norwegian(挪威的) football player. 并且还是世界上最好的前锋之一（one of the best strikers in the world），目前效力于英超豪门曼城队。He's about 1.95 meters tall. Fast, strong, powerful. 他长着一头金色长发，白皮肤，威猛中又有些搞怪可爱，有中国网友评论他：奇怪的射门，搞笑的表情，可爱的哈宝。On the pitch(球场), he's basically a goal-scoring machine(进球机器).02. What are Haaland's nicknames? 哈兰德有哪些外号？ Fans around the world have given him a lot of nicknames(绰号). 中国球迷给他的绰号尤其多。1）其中最有名的应该是：魔人布欧。这个绰号是中国国内球迷专属，源自经典动漫《龙珠》（Dragon Ball）里的BOSS魔人布欧（the character Majin Buu）。What are their similarities?因为哈兰德有时进球以后那种呆萌又开心的表情，和魔人布欧有点神似。并且他的赛场统治力可以对标布欧的毁灭力。He looks similar to Majin Buu and dominates(统治) every defense(防守) like a powerful villain(反派).2）除此之外，还有人叫他：哈宝。翻译成英文可能会是“Haaland baby”。That's actually kind of cute.3）Outside China, people call him things like: The Terminator(终结者). Goal Machine(进球机器). Goal Robot.因为他进球实在太强悍了。很多球迷都开玩笑说：“他不像人类。”03. Why do people love him? 人们为什么喜欢他？A lot of football stars are respected(受尊敬的). But Haaland is genuinely liked. 大家喜欢他不只是因为他球踢得好，还因为他特别真实。He jokes around a lot. He laughs at himself. And he doesn't seem to take himself too seriously(不自视甚高).网上有很多关于哈兰德的memes（表情包）。有人把他做成《猫和老鼠》里汤姆猫的形象，汤姆猫的头上顶着一头哈兰德的金发，画面滑稽搞笑。也有人把他P成各种动漫人物。有网友发现他的金发造型有时候居然和好莱坞女演员 寡姐斯嘉丽（Scarlett Johansson）有点神似。Being one of the best football players in the world and constantly getting compared(比较) to Scarlett Johansson. But he seems to understand that football should also be fun.04. Haaland's Elite Ability 哈兰德的实力But, none of this would matter if he wasn't an incredible(极好的) football player. 表情包归表情包，但如果没有硬实力大家可能也不会关注到他。在哈兰德的帮助下，挪威队取得两连胜，提前从小组出线。Recently, Haaland helped Norway(挪威) defeat Senegal(塞内加尔) 3–2. 对于挪威足球来说，这不仅仅是一场普通的胜利，更像是一个沉睡了二十八年的足球国度，重新回到了世界舞台。Haaland was right at the center of it. 两场比赛，哈兰德四次进球，连续两场梅开二度。That's an extraordinary start to a World Cup. 凭借这样的表现，哈兰德成为世界杯历史上第六位在个人前两场世界杯比赛中都至少打进两球的球员。现在，我们可以说：Haaland is not only a goal-scoring machine but also a meme machine. He's one of the best strikers in football. 同时，也是最有娱乐精神的球员之一。Perhaps that's why so many people connect with him. 因为他让大家看到：超级球星可以很厉害，也可以很有趣。

In a career spanning four decades, Dame Kristin Scott Thomas has become one of Britain's most celebrated actors: Four Weddings and a Funeral, The English Patient, The Horse Whisperer, Tell No One and Slow Horses, alongside acclaimed stage work including her Olivier‑winning performance in The Seagull. Yet her path was far from straightforward: discouraged at drama school, she moved to Paris as an au pair and rebuilt her training from scratch. Her childhood had already been shaped by profound loss after the deaths of her father and stepfather in near‑identical accidents. She has now channelled these experiences into her directorial debut, My Mother's Wedding, which she also co‑wrote and stars in, alongside Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller and Emily Beecham. We talk about her early grief, the emotional armour she built as a teenager, the chaotic experience of filming with Prince, making My Mother's Wedding, the power of women writing women, her unforgettable Fleabag monologue and the joy and clarity she has found in her 60s. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 03:15 Reclaiming a Tragic Narrative 04:59 Joy in her 60s 06:22 Co Writing With Her Husband 07:03 Animation and Childhood Memory 09:07 Casting and Creative Reunions 12:23 Failure One: Prince Film Debut 17:06 Fame Theater and Radical Roles 24:09 Under the Cherry Moon Lessons 25:28 Failure Two: Teenage Grief 26:24 Childhood Losses 27:58 Eldest Sibling Burden 28:37 Acting Through Sadness 29:59 English Patient Reflections 33:19 Four Weddings Role 36:39 Therapy and Healing 43:41 Grief Advice and Faith 45:45 Football and Identity 49:16 Aging and Gratitude

The barrier to making your first film has never been lower, and this episode breaks down exactly how to start. In Part 2 of his conversation with host Gregg Goldfarb, filmmaker Steve Dabal pulls back the curtain on how his documentary Italian Wannabe came together: shot largely on a phone, edited by hand from terabytes of footage, and finished through community crowdfunding. Steve makes the case that you don't need a perfect subject or a big budget to begin. You need a story you care about and the willingness to start filming. From the free tools that turn a phone into a cinema camera, to why short films are the best reps a beginner can get, to how AI is quietly reshaping what independent filmmakers can afford, Steve offers a grounded look at the craft and the business of documentary work today, and why "make the thing" matters far more than worrying about how it will be received.   Join Gregg and Steve on Cut to the Chase as they explore: How to shoot a documentary for $0 using just an iPhone and free apps  Why the story "reveals itself" and how to start before you know the ending  Why short films are the best training ground for first-time filmmakers  The realistic path to a finished film: rough cuts, community, and crowdfunding  How AI is changing the cost of color, graphics, and finishing work  Why the festival system favors certain films, and how feel-good stories find their audience What comes after festivals: roadshows, screenings-with-dinners, and t-urning a film into an event    KEY MOMENTS 00:00 — Cold open: which films "climb the ladder"  00:01 — You've got a story and an iPhone — what do you actually need? 00:02 — The Blackmagic app: turning a phone into a cinema camera 00:03 — "Just start filming" — 14 terabytes and finding the story 00:04 — Do you really need a great subject to begin? 00:06 — Making the thing vs. releasing the thing 00:07 — Why short films are the best reps for beginners 00:09 — The money question: what $0 can (and can't) get you 00:10 — Rough cuts, honest feedback & the freelance colorist 00:12 — Spend $0 first, then crowdfund the finish 00:13 — AI and YouTube: best or worst time to start? 00:14 — Handmade stop-motion vs. AI temp graphics 00:15 — Inside the festival world: programmers & blind submissions 00:17 — Pairing screenings with dinners to build community 00:18 — What's next: roadshows, AI outreach & the film-as-event 00:21 — Closing: stop chasing the checklist — just make the thing    Steve Dabal is an Italian-American director, cinematographer, and editor with a deep VFX background and a focus on non-fiction storytelling. As co-founder and Creative Director of The Family, a New York-based production house, he has interviewed subjects ranging from Scarlett Johansson and Fortune 500 CEOs to war veterans and 9/11 survivors. His work has screened at SXSW, the New York Film Festival, and internationally. Italian Wannabe is his debut feature documentary. The film sold out five screenings at the 2026 Palm Springs International Film Festival and was also an official selection at the Berkshire International Film Festival. The film was directed, shot, and edited by Dabal, and produced with The Family in association with Current Mindset.    RESOURCES MENTIONED: Learn more about Italian Wannabe and follow the film's festival and pop-up screening tour Learn more about Fiore Market Cafe, chef Bill Disselhorst's legendary South Pasadena restaurant, one of America's Top 100 restaurants Learn more about the village of Casperia, Italy — one hour north of Rome — featured throughout the documentary Learn more about The Family, Steve Dabal's New York-based production company Follow the Italian Wannabe pop-up screening tour to find a screening near you   Want to hear more conversations about life, law, and the stories that matter? Subscribe to Cut to the Chase: with Gregg Goldfarb.   Want to stay updated on our latest podcasts?

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. On today's episode, Andy Atherton is reviewing “Chef” from 2014 starring Jon Favreau, John Leguizamo, Sofia Vergara, Scarlett Johansson & Robert Downey Jr.

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.While it may come as no surprise, the biggest Marvel news this week is still just as exciting as it is obvious with the revelation that Chris Evans will indeed appear in Secret Wars. While not officially confirmed by Marvel, the news broke via a social media post from March 26, that is just now gaining notice, with the actor himself telling Instagram user @comicconmomsi, "I can tell you that...I start work on the next one in a couple of months, I can tell you that," in a video message. That tracks with the projected August production starting date for Secret Wars we've discussed previously.While rumors and speculation are typically not our forte here, the rumor mill surrounding The Batman II cast warrants some attention. In May, we discussed headlines from sources like Variety and The Wrap that seemingly confirmed Sebastian Stan had been cast as Harvey Dent, as he had long been rumored to be, with Scarlett Johansson and Charles Dance announced as Dent's wife and father, respectively. In hindsight, those headlines resulted from Matt Reeve's social media post where he confirmed and welcomed a number of actors as part of the film but did not actually reveal any roles. In the last week, industry insider Jeff Sneider has suggested that his sources claim that Stan will instead play Victor Zsasz and Brian Tyree Henry is set to portray Harvey. Steven Spielberg has returned to the blockbuster arena for the first time in eight years with Disclosure Day, his UFO sci-fi thriller starring Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor, which opened to approximately $44 million domestically and $93.9 million globally, making it his biggest opening weekend ever for an original film. Meanwhile, Obsession continues its extraordinary run, adding another $19 million in week five for a domestic total of $188.3 million. Spielberg's $115 million production earned strong reviews and a B CinemaScore.Sony has released the trailer for The Social Reckoning, Aaron Sorkin's sequel to The Social Network. Jeremy Strong stars as Mark Zuckerberg alongside Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, and Bill Burr. The film opens October 9.Peter Sarsgaard has joined the Season 3 cast of HBO's The Last of Us in a recurring role. He will play an original character named Amon, one of the leaders of the Seraphites.

Most of us are moving faster than ever — more content, more hustle, more output. But what if the most powerful thing you could do right now is stop? In this episode of Cut to the Chase: with Gregg Goldfarb, Gregg sits down with filmmaker Steve Dabal, director of Italian Wannabe — a feature documentary that sold out five screenings at the 2026 Palm Springs International Film Festival and is now doing pop-up screenings across the country. Italian Wannabe follows chef Bill Disselhorst — co-founder of Fiore Market Cafe, one of America's Top 100 restaurants — as he walks away from his Los Angeles life and returns to Casperia, a small medieval village an hour north of Rome, where he and his late wife Anne first fell in love with Italian food, slow living, and the kind of community that doesn't exist on a screen. What started as one man's grief became a meditation on reinvention, passion, and what it really means to belong somewhere. Join Gregg and Steve on Cut to the Chase: as they discuss:   How chef Bill Disselhorst built one of America's Top 100 restaurants — and what happened when he lost it all Why the village of Casperia, Italy holds the secret to a life most of us only dream about What Italian Wannabe is really about — and why it's not just a food documentary How Steve went from a year of no work and near burnout to making his first feature film with a borrowed camera Why community is the most underrated currency in business, film, and life What the film festival circuit looks like right now — and why it has never been a better time to make a documentary The one lesson from Bill Disselhorst that will change how you treat every person you meet   Key Moments:   00:00 — Gregg introduces Italian Wannabe and filmmaker Steve Dabal 01:30 — What Italian Wannabe is really about and how it began 03:00 — How Steve met Bill at Fiore Market Cafe during film school 05:00 — The village of Casperia, Italy and why Bill keeps going back 07:30 — The contrast between hustle culture and the Italian slow life 10:00 — How Bill's approach to community changed how Steve lives and works 13:00 — The one habit — asking people their names — that builds real connection 16:00 — How the writers' strike and a year without work led to the film 19:00 — What it takes to make a documentary today — no degree, no big budget required 22:00 — Italian Wannabe's journey: from borrowed camera to Palm Springs Film Festival sellout 25:00 — Why this film will make you rethink what you're chasing   Guest Bio: Steve Dabal is an Italian-American director, cinematographer, and editor with a deep VFX background and a focus on non-fiction storytelling. As co-founder and Creative Director of The Family, a New York-based production house, he has interviewed subjects ranging from Scarlett Johansson and Fortune 500 CEOs to war veterans and 9/11 survivors.

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing ELEANOR THE GREAT (2025), with screenplay credits to Tory Kamen, the film is  Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut.  A sharp-witted 94-year-old woman named Eleanor Morgenstein (June Squibb) struggles to rebuild her life in New York City following the death of her longtime best friend.  Desperate for connection and a sense of purpose, she accidentally stumbles into a support group for Holocaust survivors and impulsively claims her late friend's tragic history as her own.  As this elaborate deception earns her the admiration of a local journalism student, Nina (Erin Kellyman) and provides her with the attention she craves, Eleanor finds herself sinking deeper into a lie that threatens her newfound relationships and her integrity.  The film clocks in at 1 h 38 m, is rated PG-13 and is currently streaming on Netflix but also to buy/rent on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.This episode is for Soo with love.#EleanorTheGreat #ToryKamen #ScarlettJohansson #JuneSquibb #Eleanor #ErinKellyman #Nina #RitaZohar #Bessie #ChiwetelEjiofor #Roger #JessicaHecht #Lisa #WillPrice #Max #StephenSinger #RabbiCohen #LaurenKlein #Vera #ElaineBromka #April #Drama #FirstTimeDirector #FemaleFilmmakerFriday  @Netflix  @PrimeVideo  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

Send us Fan MailWe're back with our eighth installment of the Oh Brother Criterion Collection reviews, and this one is our fourth Coen Brothers entry — the 2001 neo-noir masterpiece, The Man Who Wasn't There, celebrating its 25th anniversary.Billy Bob Thornton plays Ed Crane, a laconic small-town barber who speaks little but observes everything. When he discovers his wife Doris is having an affair with her boss Big Dave, Ed hatches a blackmail scheme to fund an investment in a dry cleaning operation — setting off a chain of events that spirals far beyond his control. It's classic Coen Brothers territory: crime, consequence, absurdity, and a richly drawn moral vacuum at the center of it all.We break down the full cast, including Frances McDormand as Doris, James Gandolfini as Big Dave, a scene-stealing Tony Shalhoub as attorney Freddie Riedenschneider, a very young Scarlett Johansson, and the always reliable John Polito. We also dig into Roger Deakins' stunning black-and-white cinematography — shot in color and reprinted in monochrome — and some of the film's most memorable sequences, including a brilliant tracking shot through an apartment hallway, a hubcap rolling down a hillside, and UFO imagery woven throughout Dennis Gassner's production design.On the Criterion side, we cover the full supplement package: the Coen Brothers' commentary track from 2004, a new 2025 interview with the brothers conducted by Megan Abbott, the Roger Deakins interview, and more. We also share our thoughts on whether the 4K upgrade is worth it if you already own the Blu-ray.The Man Who Wasn't There was a box office non-event in its time — roughly $19 million worldwide — but by any other measure it holds up as a quietly remarkable piece of filmmaking. Worth seeking out if you haven't seen it, and worth revisiting if you have.Support the showOh Brother Podcast:Support the Show!

On episode 156 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by film critic Jake Tropila discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, The Prestige (2006). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to break down, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. Just a year after dazzling audiences with Batman Begins, Nolan returned with a film that would become one of the best films of his career, about two magicians dueling each other for the right to produce not only the best magic trick of all time, but to be the last man standing in a feud that costs more than anyone could imagine. In being a film about filmmaking as well as a stellar adaptation of the Christopher Priest novel, Nolan made his darkest, most cynical film to date; a twisted tale about the sacrifices it takes to create art, and the obsession that consumes someone when they are close to reaching an immortality level of fame. Ryan, Jay, and Jake break down their thoughts on the film, how much The Prestige is a cousin to Memento in terms of tone, where Christian Bale is within his career, why Hugh Jackman has never delivered a better performance than this, the power of David Bowie, the horrid accent of Scarlett Johansson, the logic of the film's twist, the wild differences between the film and the original novel, and if seeing/knowing a film's twist helps or hurts a film's rewatchability. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h15m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Christopher Nolan with a review of his next film, The Dark Knight. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Dans les années 2010, si vous vous souvenez, Scarlett Johansson est la star de Lost in Translation, Match Point, le nom que beaucoup d'hommes citent quand on leur demande qui est leur sex-symbol préféré, et côté gossip, l'ex-femme de Ryan Reynolds. Alors quand elle tombe dans les bras d'un jeune Français du nom de Romain Dauriac, au détour d'un salon de tatouage, on est tous un peu surpris. On l'est encore plus quand ils se marient deux ans plus tard.. Et c'est cette histoire d'amour, complètement improbable, que la journaliste Estelle Ndjanjo raconte, et analyse, dans cette mini-série de Scandales, consacrée aux histoires d'amour inattendues entre stars américaines et anonymes français. Dans quel contexte ce couple a-t-il pu se former ? Et que nous dit-il du rapport complexe que Scarlett Johansson entretient avec sa vie privée et son image de sex-symbol ? Au micro de Scandales se succèdent :Amanda Rollins, une créatrice de contenu américaine expatriée en FranceLena Haque, journaliste pop culture Scandales est un podcast de Madame Figaro, écrit et présenté par Marion Galy-Ramounot, et produit par Lucile Rousseau-Garcia.

The review embargo lifted today for The Mandalorian and Grogu, and the bag is more than a little mixed. Critics are either praising the film for its fun action adventure nature of the bounty hunter and his foundling or others are saying the film does not live up to the iconography that Lucasfilm and Star Wars is known for as well as having too small of a story for the big screen. With this being the first Star Wars film in seven years, a lot is likely riding on the performance of Din Djarin and Din Grogu. Ebon Moss-Bachrach has been quietly dishing details on not only Avengers: Doomsday but Secret Wars across his various media appearances in recent days. On Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, the Thing actor admitted the Doomsday script he read didn't have a finished third act saying, "I don't think it had an ending,” and described the production as so compartmentalized and "interstellar" that he'd repeatedly go back to Joe Russo to have the multiverse threading re-explained. Then in a separate chat with the Dog Day Afternoon Broadway team, a play based on the 1975 film the actor is performing in, he casually dropped that Secret Wars filming kicks off in August 2026, right after his stage run wraps in mid-July.HBO set August 16 as the premiere date for Lanterns and dropped a new trailer that complicates the show's dark, earth-based mystery pitch with shots of Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan in the classic Green Lantern uniform and what appears to be an off-world setting. The trailer also confirms Nathan Fillion is reprising his role as Guy Gardner and reveals Laura Linney in an undisclosed part opposite Aaron Pierre's John Stewart. Matt Reeves used a series of X posts last week to officially welcome Brian Tyree Henry and Sebastian Koch to Gotham for The Batman: Part II. They join the previously confirmed additions of Scarlett Johansson as Gilda Dent, Sebastian Stan as Harvey Dent, and Charles Dance as Harvey's father Christopher. Henry, a Marvel alum from Eternals who also memorably appeared in 2019's Joker, marks his second trip into the DC sandbox, while Koch is known for his prestige work appearing in films like Bridge of Spies. Michael continued another strong run at the box office this weekend and has now crossed $700 million dollars worldwide while the Devil Wears Prada 2 also continued its solid streak, crossing the $500 million dollar mark internationally. Mortal Kombat 2 crossed the $100 million dollar mark in its second weekend. Horror film Obsession opened very well with $23 million dollars worldwide, a big opening for a film from a first time director acquired out of a film festival. Marvel is making some changes to leadership in its comics division. The company has promoted Brad Winderbaum, already its chief of television and animation, to head of Marvel television, animation, comics and franchise. At the same time, David Abdo, former manager of Disney's music division, will transition to serve as Marvel's general manager, comics and franchise, reporting to Winderbaum. With the new top leadership coming in, that means that Dan Buckley, the longtime Marvel Comics head, is departing. Buckley will remain at Marvel through mid-2027 to support the leadership transition.HBO's Harry Potter series will already be recasting a role as production begins on season 2. Actress Gracie Cochrane, who portrays Ginny Weasley in the upcoming season 1 will not return for Season 2 of the series due to 'unforeseen circumstances,' Cochrane and her family revealed in a statement.Disney+ has begun development on Ella Enchanted, a TV series based on the 2004 Miramax fairytale film of the same name that starred Anne Hathaway, who will return to produce the series. Anyone But You writer Ilana Wolpert will serve as showrunner.A final look trailer for Prime's Spider-Noir, starring Nicholas Cage, was dropped today. 

If you forgot to add this important event to your calendars, Spike Jonze's 2013 sci-fi film, Her, was actually set in 2025. Ryan and Grant watched the Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson vehicle now that we're just past that date to see what it got right and wrong. They discuss where Jonze thought we would be versus where we are with generative AI, societal isolation, relationships — and whether the movie is really "one of the best science fiction movies of all-time."

Guest: Tess Lynch, Founding Attorney, Clause and AffectWhen Crimson Desert announced "no AI in our game," the internet applauded. But does anyone agree on what that actually means? Tess Lynch — gaming and IP attorney, founder of Clause and Affect, and one of the more practical legal voices covering this space — joined Greg to untangle what studios are really promising when they make that pledge, and what they're leaving dangerously undefined.What we get into:The three tiers of AI in games that almost nobody distinguishes clearly — procedural generation (been here forever, deterministic, mostly fine), machine learning trained on licensed data (DLSS, Adobe Firefly, getting complicated), and generative AI trained on scraped data (the one everyone's actually upset about, and for good reason).Why "no AI" policies get weird fast — no Gmail, no Copilot, no AI meeting notes — and why the real target is almost always generative AI replacing human creative work, not automation tools embedded in software you're already using.The consent problem hiding inside "licensed" datasets. Adobe Firefly is built on licensed images, but did those photographers consent to having their work used to train the model? Tess breaks down where that gets legally murky, and why the Scarlett Johansson standard she uses is a useful gut check.UGC platforms and the IP trap studios don't see coming. When players generate content in your game — especially with AI tools — the question of who owns it, who's liable for it, and whether you can even copyright it is almost entirely unsettled law right now.Why purely AI-generated work can't be copyrighted (current U.S. law requires human authorship), and what that means for studios shipping games with AI-generated assets as placeholders they forgot to swap out. Clair Obscure and Crimson Desert both came up.The patchwork regulatory problem. Every state has its own privacy laws, its own AI laws, its own age assurance rules. Tess calls it what it is: an amalgamation that will never get cleaner until it becomes a federal issue — which she doesn't expect soon.When should you actually talk to a lawyer? Her answer: yesterday. But more practically — before you touch sensitive data, before you go live with anything using AI in a novel way, and definitely before you sign contractor agreements that don't address it.And on the business side: what it's actually like to build a solo law firm serving indie devs and creatives who can't pay BigLaw rates. Billing, time management, and figuring out what your work is worth.Tess Lynch: LinkedIn | Clause and Affect website | Your AI NPC Might Be IllegalPlayer Driven: Discord | Newsletter

Harry Styles has kicked off his highly anticipated stadium tour in Europe, but opening night has left fans incredibly divided. We unpack the massive outrage surrounding expensive floor tickets that left concertgoers with a completely blocked view of the stage, alongside the frantic online theories trying to identify a mysterious woman's voice featured on his opening track. Laura is now OBSESSED with Carla.Meanwhile, absolute chaos is unfolding on the Cannes red carpet. From a legendary actor debuting a wildly unhinged accessory (that people mistook for an AI generation) to the mortification of being left unanswered by Scarlett Johansson, we are dissecting all the wildest antics. Plus, we look at the explosive industry divide as some creators embrace artificial intelligence while iconic directors fight to preserve human artistry.Finally, a viral social media video has all but confirmed the shock split between Hollywood's ultimate celebrity dater and his model ex-girlfriend. We dive into the exhausted mother's raw response to paparazzi criticism, the public statements released by management to control the fallout, and the blatant double standards surrounding how the industry penalises mothers while giving famous fathers a total free pass.The Spill drops the tea twice a day in this feed so follow us for all the latest entertainment news OR you can WATCH our show in full length video on the Apple Podcast app - make sure your phone is up to date and enjoy the watch!
