So if you need a new ebook this fall, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 319 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is September the 4th, 2026, and today I'm looking back at the movies and streaming shows I watched over Summer 2026. We will also have Coupon of the Week and an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Ghost Armor series at my Payhip store. That coupon code is FALLARMOR. As always, you can get the coupon code and the links to my Payhip store available in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code will be valid through September 21st, 2026, so if you need a new ebook for this fall, we have got you covered. Now an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. I'm pleased to report that the rough draft of Blade of Visions is done. It came to 99,000 words. It'd be kind of cool if it came to 100,000, but as I've learned in the 15 years I've been doing this, it's not a good idea to pad things for length. Editing is underway. I'm about 15% through the first pass of edits. I'm working on the cover design, so I'm on good track to have the book out before the end of the month. I also wrote a tie-in short story called Winter Crown and don't forget that [newsletter] subscribers will get a free ebook copy of that short story when Blade of Visions comes out later this month. So this makes a very excellent time to subscribe to my new release newsletter. I am also 12,000 words into Elven-Warlock, which will be the seventh book in the Half-Elven Thief series. Hopefully that will be out in October, if all goes well. In audiobook news, I think Blade of Thieves (as narrated by Brad Wills) and Cloak of Worlds (as narrated by Hollis McCarthy) are now finally available at all the usual audiobook stores, which includes Audible, Apple, Amazon, Kobo, Google Play, Chirp, and all the others. So if you want to listen to those if you are going on a Labor Day road trip, you can check those out. A reminder that Stealth and Spells Online: The Complete LitRPG trilogy (narrated by C.J. McAllister) is also available on Audible, so check that out. That's 32 hours long and that would also cover all your Labor Day travels. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing and audiobook projects. 00:02:22 Main Topic of the Week: Summer 2026 Movie Roundup So let's move on to our main topic this week. Our main topic this week is the Summer 2026 Movie Roundup and I always enjoy doing those. These episodes are a little less serious than some of the other episodes and it's fun to talk about things I enjoyed and that you might enjoy as well. And I did see a lot of new movies this summer. In fact, I went to the actual theater four times for Masters of the Universe, The Odyssey, Spider-Man, and Coyote vs. Acme, which is probably more than I've gone in a single season since before COVID times. So as usual, here are the movies I saw this summer (rated from least favorite to most favorite). The grades are totally subjective and based on nothing but my own thoughts and opinions. First up is The Breadwinner, which came out in 2026. This is basically standup comedian Nate Bargatze's act come to life as a movie. If you've seen Bargatze's standup, his usual routine is to portray himself as the dumb husband and bumbling Girl Dad, which is actually quite clever from a comedic standpoint since you're unlikely to have outraged mobs calling for your head if all you're doing is making fun of yourself. Anyway, Bargatze portrays Nate Wilcox, the best Toyota salesman in Nashville. (Don't worry, this is the first of only many product placement moments.) He lets his wife Kate manage the household and do the bulk of the work with their three daughters. When Kate's invention takes off on Shark Tank, she has to go to South Korea for two weeks to oversee manufacturing, leaving Nate in charge of the kids. Comedic chaos ensues. On the positive side of this movie, I did approve how this movie showed a married couple trying to work through a rough patch and do what's right for their kids and each other in a semi-productive way rather than blowing up their lives over nonsensical trivialities in the style of Eat, Pray, Love. On the downside, there was a lot of product placement, to the point where it at times felt like an extended commercial with bits of plot jammed in between product endorsement. No doubt most of the production budget came from product placement money. Will Forte was funny as an eccentric roofing contractor and Martin Herlihy as a shifty DoorDash employee. Kumail Nanjiani was funny as Nate's rival salesman at the car dealership. So overall, I would say this was blandly amusing and inoffensive with some funny slapstick moments. Overall grade: C- Next up is Supergirl, which came out in 2026. This movie really was sort of a strange combination of John Wick and the human trafficking subplot from 2020's Black Widow. The end result wasn't quite as good as Superman from 2025, alas. I did like this movie's interpretation of Supergirl. Kara Zor-El's departure from Krypton was way more traumatic than Superman's, so she's dealing with her unresolved emotional issues by traveling from planet to planet with red suns and getting hammered since the same yellow sun that gives Kryptonians their superpowers on Earth also keeps them from getting drunk because their bodies process alcohol too efficiently. However, Kara comes to a planet where a girl named Ruthye lives. Ruthye's family has been slaughtered by ruthless brigands yet led by Krem of the Yellow Hills and she's going on a quest for revenge. When Ruthye tries to recruit Kara for the quest, she's not interested, but then Krem steals Kara's spaceship and poisons her dog Krypto. Krem carries the antidote on his person, so now Kara and Ruthye team up to get vengeance on Krem and to heal Krypto. Krem is a nasty piece of work and he and his space gang travel from planet to planet abducting women to be their wives. I think the problem was that Krem was kind of a boring but nasty villain, but he was still boring. He was basically a space thug with too many piercings. Lex Luthor from 2025 Superman, by contrast, was a really interesting villain, this malignant narcissist who knows that his obsession with Superman is over the top, but he's going to act on it anyway. Additionally, I don't think this version of Supergirl is quite capable of being a lead character on her own. She'd make a superb secondary character, but I don't think she could quite carry a movie on her own. And Jason Momoa was pretty good as Lobo. Overall grade: C- Next up is Troy, which came out in 2004. I wanted to see this either before or after I watched The Odyssey this summer and ended up watching it the day before I went to see The Odyssey. I would say this movie was slow and ponderous, but I did enjoy watching it. This is an adaption of The Iliad and has the sort of slow stateliness of epic films from the '60s. It had good performances and good battle scenes. Brian Cox was enjoyable as a scenery chewing Agamemnon and Brad Pitt worked as Achilles. Interestingly, his version of Achilles reminded me of the interpretation of Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen from Dune 2 as sort of a violent psychopath with his own twisted sense of honor. Oddly, despite the fact that this was rather a long movie, the ending seems a bit rushed, like we needed to hurry up and get to the Trojan Horse. It was amusing how Achilles' relationship with Patroclus was changed to "cousin" for the modern audience, but Greek views on sexuality would definitely be unpalatable with both right-wing and left-wing versions of the modern mind, which is a good thing because while the Greeks contributed a great deal to the development of civilization, they were into a lot of unsavory stuff. So overall, I would say this was a fun, epic movie, but I think this walked so the 2026 version of The Odyssey could run. Amusing fact: Christopher Nolan was apparently supposed to direct this, but the deal fell through and he got Batman Begins as a consolation prize instead. Overall grade: B- Next up is The Dink, which came out in 2026. This is an Apple TV comedy movie about pickleball of all things. I feel like this was made because some Apple executive got made fun of by some tennis players for playing pickleball and then decided to take revenge through media. Jake Johnson plays Dustin Boyd, a washed up former child tennis star who now works at his father's tennis club. The club has difficulties because of a growing influx of pickleball players who the hardcore tennis players hate. Dustin's father decides to use the club's bylaws to force a duel match to decide the issue, in the grand tradition of wacky comedy stakes. Dustin really wants to play the duel match, but his wrist is injured in an accident. To get his wrist mobility back, the doctor suggested he play some pickleball and Dustin views this as beneath him, but he really wants to play again, so he signs up for pickleball. This ends up being a wacky sports company/buddy movie as Dustin gradually befriends an eccentric older pickleball player. Ed Harris should really do more comedic roles. He was great as Dustin's stern, yet unscrupulous father. I do admire Apple TV's dedication to making random stuff. Overall grade: B- Next up is Green and Gold, which came out in 2025, and this is a melodrama about a farmer and his granddaughter dealing with the grim economic realities of farming. This is set in 1992/1993 era Wisconsin. Buck refuses to modernize his dairy farm in Door County, Wisconsin. His granddaughter Jenny is a talented musician and also a skilled farmer, and Buck wants her to take over the farm one day, but Jenny's ambitions are looking elsewhere. Events come to a head when Jenny realizes that Buck is deeply in debt to the bank, which is about to foreclose on the farm. However, Buck and the chief banker have a personal animosity, so they settle on a bet. If the Green Bay Packers win a Super Bowl title in 1993, the banker will give Buck one more year to turn things around on the farm. Meanwhile, Jenny begins to wonder if her music ambitions might generate the money to save the farm. Of course, if you are familiar with the history of the Packers, you know that they won a Super Bowl in 1996, not 1993. The movie has carried on the back of the very strong performances of its actors. It also has an ambiguously happy ending, as is true with so many things in farming. I like this movie because I've spent a lot of my life in the American Midwest, [and] I did appreciate how it shows the difficulties of the farming life. Also, this is important: a fall from a ladder is a plot point. Ladder safety is important, people! If you are going up a ladder, for heaven's sake don't climb the ladder in high heels like the character in question does. Wear sensible, well-fitting shoes with good soles. A very long time ago, I used to work with a guy who would climb extension ladders in cowboy boots. It is nothing short of the mercy of God that he didn't fall off and shatter half the bones in his body. Overall grade: B Next up is Grumpy Old Men, which came out in 1993. Apparently this is set in Wabasha, Minnesota, which is amusing because filming actually took place in several areas in the Twin Cities in Eastern Minnesota, but not actually in Wabasha. I found that personally amusing because I'm quite familiar with the area and so I recognize several filming locations. Anyway, the movie is about two retirees, Max and John, who are enemies and have been enemies for years, but Max is lonely and wants to get married again, and John is about to lose his house to the IRS due to tax problems. Things come to a head when an attractive literature professor moves across the street and both Max and John take an interest in her and start competing for her affections. However, it turns out that Max and John are actually best friends whose love language happens to be hatred and practical jokes, kind of like Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, but more on them below. This was a good character comedy/drama. It was interesting that the professor was an early version of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope, albeit several decades before someone came up with the term. This is worth watching both as a character and comedy drama and a time capsule of the 1990s. Sometimes a movie ages a bit badly (Airplane and the Thomas Crown Affair from the Spring Movie Roundup come to mind), but this didn't. The sequel Grumpier Old Men from 1995 is basically the same movie, but with the characters acting about 20% dumber so a sitcom style plot can happen. Still entertaining, but not as good as the first one, so Grumpier Old Men only gets a B-, but Grumpy Old Men gets a B+. Next up is Masters of the Universe, which came out in 2026. It was amusing to read reviews of this movie because people thought way too hard about a movie that is essentially about battling action figures. Anyway, this was pretty good. It was nice to see a movie about a science fiction property that doesn't actually hate the source material. Basically it's a live action version of the cartoons from the '80s, albeit with somewhat more thoughtful moments. I heard someone suggest that it was close in tone to Thor: Ragnarok, and that seems accurate. The plot is that Skeletor conquers Eternia and 10-year-old Prince Adam is sent with the Sword of Power through a magical portal to Earth to keep him and the sword out of Skeletor's reach. However, Adam loses the sword while passing through the gate and 15 years later is working in human resources. He's still seeking for the sword despite his therapist trying to convince him that it was a trauma-induced fantasy. However, his persistence pays off and he does find the sword. Teela, who is one of the resistance leaders against Skeletor's rule, comes to Earth to find him and bring him back, but Skeletor's minions arrive to claim the sword as well. Adam and Teela escape back to Eternia and it's up to Adam to find a way to use the Sword of Power to become the hero that Eternia needs. Dolph Lundgren's cameo was great. Overall, I would say this is a fun movie to watch, especially if you're a Millennial or Gen Xer who saw the cartoons or the live action movie back in the '80s. Jared Leto has something of an increasingly questionable reputation these days, but he did a good job as Skeletor, played him halfway between the solemn gravitas of the 1987 version and the malevolent comedic cornball of the cartoons. Of course, in my opinion, the Frank Langella version from 1987 is the best version of Skeletor since he placed it with all the seriousness of a Shakespearean villain monologue at the Royal Shakespeare Company. In hindsight, it wasn't terribly surprising that this underperformed at the box office. It felt like it was made for guys my age, not for kids. I would've been comfortable bringing an eight-year-old to see The Mandalorian and Grogu or Super Mario Galaxy, but I would've been less certain bringing a kid that age to see Masters of the Universe. Additionally, it seemed very Marvel in tone, and I think the overall mood of the US these days is less "Marvel Cinematic Universe quips and banter" and more sort of the grimness of The Odyssey, which we'll talk about shortly. Overall grade: B+ Next up is Young Washington, which came out in 2026, a biopic of the early life of George Washington, covering how he more or less accidentally started the French and Indian War and how he recovered his reputation at the Battle of Braddock's Field. To be fair, the international situation at the time meant that someone was going to start the French and Indian War. It just happened to be Washington, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Overall, I liked this. It was reasonably historically accurate, though some of the emotional and family dialogue at times was a bit clunky. Additionally, Washington was portrayed as having revolutionary leanings much earlier in life than he actually did, since when he was a young man, he had no thoughts of being anything but a British subject and officer. That said, some of the most implausible stuff in the movie actually happened in real life. Like if I were to write in a novel that the future president of the United States personally rallied the army's rear guard to save as many men as possible from an ambush, and in the process had two horses shot out from under him and ended up with bullet holes in his hat and coat (all while fighting continuously), you would probably find that a bit implausible, but it actually happened that way. Washington's daring actions during that battle were one of the reasons he was appointed commander of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, that and there weren't many other colonials with as much experience of military command as Washington. In that vein, the battle scenes were the best part of the movie. They captured the brutality and messiness of 18th Century warfare without being especially graphic. Anyway, I'm glad this is getting a sequel. Maybe we'll end up with a Young Washington Cinematic Universe. Overall grade: B+ Next up is Meet the Parents, which came out in 2000, and this is probably one of the apex forms of cringe comedy. Ben Stiller plays Greg Focker, a nurse who's in love with schoolteacher Pam Burns. Greg wants to marry Pam, but overhears a phone call with her sister where she says her fiancé asked permission of her traditional father first. Greg decides that he's going to ask Pam's father's permission first to get off on the right foot, and so accompanies Pam to her sister's wedding and her parents' house to, as the title says, Meet the Parents. However, Pam's father is the former CIA counterintelligence officer Jack, and he and Greg immediately get on each other's nerves. To make things worse, the airline has lost Greg's luggage. From these two starting premises follow a cascading series of hilarious disasters that accumulate in a septic tank fire on the lawn. I'm not sure, but I think I saw this one in the theaters when it came out in 2000, and I thought it was funny then. With 26 years of additional life experience under the belt, I still think it's pretty funny, though you could still tell that this movie was filmed before 9/11 because if Greg had his airport meltdown seen today, the consequences would've been much worse. Overall grade: B+ Next up is O Brother Where Art Thou, which came out in 2000. This is a very, very, very specific adaptation of The Odyssey directed by the Coen brothers. George Clooney plays Everett, a convict who escapes from a chain gang in Mississippi during the Great Depression. He wants to find a treasure and he recruits fellow convicts Delmar and Peter to assist him. Along the way, Everett and his team encountered 1930s era versions of the Sirens, the cyclops, the blind prophet Tiresias, and other characters and foes from the original Odyssey myth. Everett and his friends end up running a scam where they pretend to be a Christian music group, but as it turns out, they're actually pretty good at singing, so this leads to unexpected hilarity and opportunities. This was also a very funny movie. Imagine The Odyssey is a comedy with a lot of singing set in the Deep South during the Depression, and you're there. If you're a fan of bluegrass music, this is worth watching. If you've seen Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, it's worth watching this just to ponder how the same source material can produce such wildly divergent interpretations. If you don't care about The Odyssey, then this is still a fun movie to watch. Proof: I mentioned to someone that I had seen this and she responded that she both loved the movie and was surprised to learn that he had in fact been inspired by The Odyssey. Overall grade: A- Next up is Hoppers, which came out in 2026. Like most Pixar movies, this was very high concept. Unlike many recent Pixar movies, it wasn't too depressing and didn't disappear up its own tailpipe. In the city of Beaverton, hot tempered girl Mabel bonds with her grandmother in their favorite place, a woodland grove favored by beavers. Years later, Mabel is a biology student under Dr. Fairfax, but is neglecting her studies to face off against her nemesis, the popular yet sketchy Mayor Jerry of Beaverton. Mayor Jerry wants to build an expressway that will wipe out the woodland grove, and he's perfectly within his rights to do it since no animals have been found living there. Since Mabel's grandmother has died, she's unwilling to give up the grove. However, Dr. Fairfax's research might give her a way. Dr. Fairfax has worked out a way to temporarily transfer human consciousness to a robotic beaver capable of speaking to real beavers, much like the plot of Avatar. In a funny scene, Fairfax angrily denies that it's just like Avatar. Mabel gets the idea to use this to convince real beavers to settle in the grove, thereby thwarting Mayor Jerry's plans. This touches off both a wacky yet poignant adventure. The plot was very well structured and it followed the proper rules of story structure, which I've talked about before. Mabel definitely is a protagonist who takes action, but experiences setbacks and problems of her own creation. It was pretty good. I say it was a return to form for Pixar after some of their weaker movies in the 2020s. Overall grade: A Now it's time for my three favorite movies of summer 2026, all of which I actually saw in the theater. First up is Coyote versus Acme, which came out in 2026. This movie had an extra surge of popularity from the fact that Warner Brothers canceled it as a tax write-off, but distributor Ketchup Entertainment revived it. That makes it a plucky underdog since Warner Brothers senior executives are kind of like the apex version of soulless corporate bug men. Like if I wrote characters in my books who acted like Warner Brothers senior executives, people would think I was being didactic and heavy-handed. Anyway, after decades of failures in efforts to capture the Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote decides to sue Acme Corporation for its numerous defective products. Coyote teams up with a lazy strip mall lawyer named Kevin Avery, who specializes in getting small settlements from Acme. However, Avery and Coyote end up filing a massive lawsuit against Acme, which means they'll face the full wrath of Acme Corporation, including its ace lawyer Buddy Crane and its ruthless CEO, Foghorn Leghorn. What follows is a comedic courtroom battle as Coyote and Avery try to defeat Acme Corporation, defeat its sinister plans, and Coyote starts to realize that Road Runner might actually be his best friend. Both quite amusing and touching, and I'm glad this was rescued from the tax write-off vault. Overall grade: A Next up is The Odyssey, which came out in 2026. This wasn't quite as good as Oppenheimer in 2023 in my opinion, but it was still very good and very much worth seeing. It was weird that The Odyssey was briefly a football in the never-ending US culture war scrum because the movie isn't really political and doesn't really have a message beyond "war is destructive and bad", which every sensible person would agree with, and a lesser message of "violating the law of morality has unforeseen cascading bad consequences, including the destruction of civilization", which is also quite true and was one of the themes of Oppenheimer. Nolan himself dismissed the controversies as "irrelevant" and "part of the territory" since no one had actually seen the movie yet, and given that The Odyssey has made a billion and a half dollars as of this recording, I think that may have proved his point. I imagine the scrutiny from Batman fans back in the 2010s was way more intense since in the modern era, many people care more deeply about the accuracy of Batman than The Odyssey. I do think the debate over the historical accuracy in The Odyssey is pointless because the Odyssey is myth, not history. The Iliad and The Odyssey are a lot like Arthurian myth in terms of their actual historicity. Even when Arthurian legend was massively popular with English kings and nobles in the late medieval and early modern period (for example, Henry VIII's older brother was named Arthur in imitation of King Arthur), the version of Arthurian myth they celebrated and wished to emulate had virtually no connection to the reality of Britain in the 500s AD and was instead a sort of fantasy version of their own time in the 14th and 15th centuries. By the time The Odyssey was written down, no doubt a similar process was underway. Both The Iliad and The Odyssey and the Arthurian cycle probably have a kernel of historical truth buried underneath the tales of magic swords, sirens, cyclopses, and vengeful witches with magic islands. There likely was a Romano-British warlord who might have been named Arthur (or possibly Ambrosius Aurelianus) who held off the Saxons for a while before he was overwhelmed and killed. Likewise, Heinrich Schliemann was a highly eccentric and very sketchy crazy rich guy, but he did prove that there really was some version of the city of Troy that was destroyed at the end of the Bronze Age. But everything beyond those basic details came from thousands of years of embellishments and flourishes from later poets and writers. So arguing about the historical accuracy of The Odyssey is a bit like arguing if Star Wars portrays faster than light travel in an accurate way. That kind of argument is just missing the point entirely. It's also interesting to see how modern standards clashed with the ancient mindset. You know how I always say that everywhere in the United States is exactly the same right until it really, really isn't? I think ancient people are just like us until they really, really weren't. Like ancient people would have been superstitious to an extent that even the most credulous crystal and aura influencer on TikTok would find horrifying and frequently violent in a way that the most strident self-defense advocate would find shocking. The Odyssey's version of Odysseus feels guilt and remorse over his actions in a way an actual ancient Greek probably wouldn't have, but so what? This is The Odyssey viewed through the lens of the 21st century, just as those English nobles viewed the myth of King Arthur and his knights through the lens of their time. As I mentioned with Troy above, the ancient Greeks were often quite brutal and would celebrate sacking an enemy city. One side note before we get to the movie, I probably found it funnier than I should have how Nolan favorably cited classicist Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey as a source, and Wilson then had an extended and unintentionally comedic multi-article crashout about how much she hated the movie and of course how much she hated the commemorative Trojan Horse popcorn bucket. Apparently Wilson hated the movie so much she's going to do a new translation of The Odyssey, much to her publisher's baffled dismay. No one does offended huffy petulance quite like an academic. Anyway, back to the movie. It follows the familiar story of Odysseus through Christopher Nolan's preference for non-linear storytelling and practical effects. I did think it was interesting how in this interpretation, Odysseus explicitly connected the ruse of the Trojan Horse with the collapse of the Bronze Age and the rise of the Sea Peoples. It's also probably the most supernatural film Nolan has ever done with actual fantasy and supernatural elements as opposed to science fiction like Inception, Tenant, and Interstellar. Odysseus talks to Athena throughout the movie and it's left up to the viewer's interpretation whether or not he's actually talking to Athena or his own guilt-ridden hallucinations. That said, Odysseus encounters a witch with actual magic powers and travels to the underworld to speak with the shades of the dead, so it's entirely possible he's talking to the actual Athena. In this version, as I mentioned, Odysseus is guilt-ridden over the ruse of the Trojan Horse, which is shown as a violation of the sacred hospitality of Zeus's law and as great a crime as the creation of the atomic bomb in Oppenheimer, which of course is similar to Oppenheimer, where Oppenheimer's creation of the atomic bomb is treated similarly. There are also some genuinely scary sequences in the movie. The bit with the underworld is very spooky, the cyclops is actually quite frightening, and the character of Circe reaches the level of scary previously attained by Heath Ledger's version of The Joker in The Dark Knight. If Nolan ever decides he wants to do a horror movie, it will probably be one of the scariest ones ever made. To sum up, The Odyssey has great performances, great spectacle, great cinematography, and great action sequences. As an interesting interpretation of the original myth, definitely worth seeing. I think you can tell it was a great movie because of all the arguments on the Internet about "what does it really mean?" Great art often has that effect. Overall grade: A The final of my three favorite movies of [Summer] 2026 is Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which came out in 2026. There's a rumor, and I don't know if it's true or not, that Tom Holland found the experience of working with Christopher Nolan on The Odyssey so eye-opening that he insisted that if they made another Spider-Man movie, it had to have a reason for existing other than "make a lot of money". If this story is true, it clearly worked. Previously, I though the two best Spider-Man movies were Spider-Man 2 from 2004 and Spider-Man: No Way Home from 2021. I must now amend that opinion to say that there are three best Spider-Man movies and Spider-Man: Brand New Day is one of the three. It is pretty good. I would've trimmed it here and there, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and is an excellent Spider-Man story that totally captures the essence of the character within a good story. It takes place four years after the events of No Way Home erased everyone's memory that Peter Parker was Spider-Man. Peter has now been crime fighting full time, but it is taking a severe toll on his emotions and personal life that he's deliberately ignoring. Meanwhile, Spider-Man has become the beloved crime fighter of New York, trusted by both the NYPD and the Federal Department of Damage Control, which is a reoccurring frenemy for superheroes from other movies. When someone launches an attack on the headquarters of Damage Control, the director recruits Peter to fight their new enemy, a mysterious figure who uses telepathy to possess people from a distance. Peter is the only one who can sense it thanks to his spider sense, and he's also the only one able to resist the telepath's possession abilities. But despite his resistance to possession, fighting a telepath is a dangerous proposition for someone with as many emotional issues as Peter, and things start to spiral out of control when the telepath starts digging into his life. But there's another lesson Peter has to learn. People (and especially superheroes) who take the federal government at its word tend to regret it. For that matter, ignoring his emotional issues is causing Peter's spider powers to start acting in strange ways. But of course, at the end of the day, Spider-Man always follows his conscience, no matter how high the cost to him personally. Definitely an enjoyable movie. All the scenes with Spider-Man and Punisher were great, and the two of them had a great dynamic together. A few other Marvel Cinematic Universe people show up, but this is probably one of the most standalone movies the MCU has done in a while. Of course, the risk of MCU Continuity Lockout is always there (which is one of the reasons I started writing Half-Eleven Thief in 2023). Overall grade: A So I would say it was a pretty good summer for movies. It's also valuable lessons in not taking the Internet too seriously, which too many people do nowadays. There are all these dedicated analyses on X, Threads, and Reddit in June and May explaining why The Odyssey was going to fail for whatever reason, and instead it made $1.5 billion. So I think that's a good lesson in not taking everything you read on the internet a little too seriously. So that's it for this week. Thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show.

SO MANY QUESTIONS!! Taking care of your health just got easier – start here with Zocdoc: https://zocdoc.com/REJECTS #sponsored Marvel just gave us its official Disney+ Avengers: Doomsday countdown watchlist after the trailer and honestly... the movies they chose might be giving away WAY more than they intended. With Avengers: Doomsday only months away, Disney+ has narrowed decades of Marvel history down to just 14 movies and ONE show, including X-Men, X2, Avengers: Endgame, Loki, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Deadpool & Wolverine, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a 2026 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. Produced by Columbia Pictures, Marvel Studios, and Pascal Pictures, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it is the 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the fourth film in the MCU Spider-Man film series following Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). The film was directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, and stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man alongside Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Florence Pugh, Tramell Tillman, Marisa Tomei, and Mark Ruffalo. In the film, Parker anonymously protects New York City as the hero Spider-Man and investigates a powerful new threat while his superpowers undergo a surprising and potentially dangerous evolution.Sony was developing a fourth MCU Spider-Man film by August 2019, and producer Amy Pascal revealed in November 2021 that it was intended to be the first in a new trilogy starring Holland. Work on the story began that December, with Holland more involved in development than he was for the previous films. McKenna and Sommers returned as writers by February 2023, Cretton was hired to direct by October 2024, and the title—derived from the 2008 comic book storyline "Brand New Day" that reset Spider-Man's status quo—was announced in March 2025. The producers wanted Holland's Parker to be a "proper Spider-Man" for the first time, on his own and fighting street-level crime in New York City. Ahead of filming, Bernthal and Ruffalo were revealed to be reprising their MCU roles of Frank Castle / Punisher and Bruce Banner / Hulk. Filming took place from August to December 2025, with location filming in Glasgow, Scotland, and throughout England. Soundstage work occurred at Pinewood Studios in England.Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiered at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on July 27, 2026, and was released in the United States on July 31 as part of Phase Six of the MCU. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and has grossed $1.188 billion worldwide, becoming the second-highest-grossing Spider-Man film and the highest-grossing film of 2026.

On Episode 156 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Neil and Skye are doing something they've not done for several years, they're reviewing a new comic book movie. What was once a regular thing on Film ‘89 tailed off with the downturn in quality of the Marvel Cinematic Universe post Avengers: Endgame, with one exception, 2021's Sony Pictures collaboration, Spider-Man: No Way Home, arguably the last great entry in the MCU. But after 5 long years, Tom Holland is back as everyone's favourite web-slinging crime fighter in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. In the aftermath of No Way Home, Peter Parker has spent the last few years successfully fighting crime and garnering public support and even working alongside the police, but at the expense of his personal life now that everyone's memories of Peter Parker being Spider-Man have been wiped, including that of his best friend, Ned and girlfriend, MJ. Already a huge commercial success in the first week following its release, Brand New Day just might be the film that reignites Neil and Skye's love of and enthusiasm for comic book movies. So tune in to hear their in-depth and spoiler-filled review of a film that's on course to become the most successful film of 2026 and one beloved by audiences and critics alike.

They also discuss Warner Bros and Paramount industry updates, concerns over media mergers and monopoly power, Heated Rivalry season two, Perez Hilton's hospitalization, Viola Davis returning to TV with Ascent, and the re-release of The X-Files: I Want to Believe director's cut.Is Spider-Man success proof of a Marvel resurgence? We analyze why Marvel might be misinterpreting recent box office trends.Many fans assume recent hits signal a broader recovery for the MCU, but the reality is more nuanced. This video breaks down why Spider-Man success is often character-specific rather than a sign of universal franchise health. We examine how individual popularity keeps certain heroes afloat despite ongoing superhero fatigue.Drawing parallels to Batman success, we look at why the industry sometimes confuses brand loyalty with genre revival. If you follow comic book movies, you need to understand this critical distinction regarding audience behavior. We explore whether Marvel is correctly identifying what actually drives ticket sales today.Subscribe for weekly pop culture commentary and character breakdowns, and let us know in the comments if you prefer conventions for the community or the exclusive announcements.

主播：Flora（中国）+ Erin（美国） 音乐：Suite New Day 最近，《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》（Spider-Man: Brand New Day）在国内上映，收获了不少好评。不少观众表示，这是近年来最好看的一部蜘蛛侠电影。主播Flora表示，自己已经“二刷（watched it twice）”了。不过，如果你还没有观看这部电影，可以先简单回顾一下上一部《蜘蛛侠：英雄无归》（Spider-Man: No Way Home），因为这两部电影的故事是紧密联系的。当然，大家不用担心，今天我们不会有太多spoilers（剧透），只是借着这部电影，聊聊几个特别有意思的英语表达，以及片名背后真正想表达的含义。01. Why Is It Called Brand New Day? 为什么叫《崭新之日》？电影还没开始聊，很多人第一眼看到片名时，就已经产生了一个疑问：Brand New Day为什么不用简单的New Day？很多人看到brand，第一反应都是"品牌"。但其实，brand new是英语里一个非常常见的固定搭配，表示"全新的、崭新的"。这里的brand不是品牌，而是起强调作用，相当于completely（完全地）new。比如，你刚买了一个包，就可以开心地说：Look at my brand new purse!“快看我新买的包！”相比单纯的new，brand new更强调“刚刚拥有、崭新无比”的感觉，语气也更强烈。除此之外，它还有一个特别温暖、也特别常见的用法。当今天过得并不顺利时，很多英语母语者都会安慰自己：Tomorrow is a brand new day.“明天又是崭新的一天。”02. More Than Spider-Man 不只是蜘蛛侠，更是Peter Parker《崭新之日》最打动人的地方，并不是某一场惊险刺激的打斗，而是Peter Parker这四年来所经历的成长。为了保护身边的人，Peter主动选择让所有人忘记自己。他原本以为，失去了家人和朋友，就不会再有那些让他变得“脆弱”的东西（what makes him "weak"），也就能够成为一个更好的Spider-Man。然而，现实却远比他想象得更加复杂。It's actually really lonely.四年来，Peter几乎失去了一切。他不能告诉MJ真相，也不能和最好的朋友重新建立联系。曾经最熟悉的人，如今都成了Strangers（陌生人）。也正因为如此，这部电影最让人揪心的地方，不是Villain（反派）有多强，而是Peter所承受的那份loneliness（孤独）。This is probably the most heartbreaking（令人心碎的） part of the entire movie.Peter一直认为，自己的选择能够保护所有人，却没有意识到，这份成长最终付出的代价和经历的internal conflict（内在冲突、内心挣扎），远比想象中更加沉重。电影里有一个非常经典的片段。当“反派”问他：Are you Peter Parker or Spider-Man?Peter坚定地回答：I'm both.这个也是整部电影最重要的转折点。那一刻，他终于意识到，自己既是Spider-Man，也是Peter Parker；真正的英雄，并不是抛弃真实的自己，而是学会接受完整的自己。他开始真正理解love（爱）、relationships（人与人之间的关系），也开始接受自己的vulnerability（脆弱）。过去，他把亲人和朋友看成自己的软肋（what makes him "weak"）；如今，他终于明白，真正给予自己力量的，也正是这些看似让自己“变弱”的人和情感。因此，Spider-Man: Brand New Day最让人惊喜的一点，就是它并没有继续歌颂“孤胆英雄”式的自我牺牲，而是带来了一种崭新的英雄主义。Sometimes, sacrificing yourself for others isn't a grand heroic gesture（为他人牺牲自己并非伟大的英雄行为）. You should also put yourself at the forefront of your priority list（把自己放在人生优先考虑的位置）.很多人认为，责任意味着不断付出、不断牺牲自己。但这部电影却告诉我们：Taking care of yourself is also a responsibility（照顾好自己，同样是一种责任）。成长，并不一定意味着变得无坚不摧；有时候，愿意承认自己的局限，接受自己的脆弱，也是一种成长。Peter最终学会的，并不是如何一个人承担一切，而是明白了：真正完整的Spider-Man，从来都离不开Peter Parker。03. Jackie Chan's Stunt Team 成家班让蜘蛛侠"拳拳到肉"除了剧情之外，《崭新之日》的动作戏（action scenes）同样成为不少观众讨论的焦点。这次电影邀请了成家班参与动作设计。节目中提到，原来我们常说的“成家班”，英语可以说成Jackie Chan's stunt team，其中stunt team就是“特技团队、动作团队”的意思。成家班多年来一直以香港动作电影风格闻名，而这一次，他们也把这种风格带进了蜘蛛侠的世界。The action was choreographed(设计) with the help of Jackie Chan's stunt team.在他们的设计下，这部电影的动作戏少了一些超级英雄电影中常见的夸张特效，多了一份真实感：The fights feel grounded（贴近现实的）, physical（充满力量感的）, and almost acrobatic（如同杂技般灵活的）.相比近年来越来越依赖CGI-heavy action（大量依赖电脑特效的动作场面）的超级英雄电影，《崭新之日》的每一场打斗都显得更加流畅，也更有“拳拳到肉”的质感。不少漫画迷都表示，这一次终于看到了漫画里的Spider-Man真正“动起来”的样子。就连一些对电影剧情持保留意见的观众，也一致认为：The action scenes were the best part of the movie.动作戏是整部电影最大的亮点之一。除了动作设计之外，这次还有一位新演员的加盟让不少影迷感到惊喜。曾在《怪奇物语》（Stranger Things）中饰演Max的Sadie Sink也出现在了这部电影中。She is amazing in the movie!如果你本身就是Sadie Sink的粉丝，那么这部电影绝对值得期待。影片上映后，观众和媒体的评价也相当亮眼。根据知名电影评分网站Rotten Tomatoes（烂番茄）的数据，截至节目录制时，影评人（critics）给出了90%的新鲜度，而观众评分（audience score）更是达到了惊人的98%。其中有一条特别打动人的观众评价："A beautiful movie about mental health, which taught me you don't have to go through life alone."这位观众认为，这不仅是一部超级英雄电影，更是一部关于mental health（心理健康）的电影。它告诉我们，没有人需要独自面对人生，也没有人必须一个人承担所有责任。也许正因为如此，《崭新之日》真正打动观众的，并不仅仅是精彩的动作场面，而是它在英雄故事之外，讲述了一个关于成长、陪伴与自我接纳的故事。04. With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility 能力越大，责任越大Peter曾经努力尝试独自承担一切，认为只有远离家人和朋友，才能真正保护他们。但经历了四年的孤独之后，他终于意识到：doing it alone（独自承担一切）并不是解决问题的方法。蜘蛛侠在电影里说到：I tried, but I can't.（我试过了，但做不到）正如节目中所说，成长并不一定意味着变得越来越坚强，有时候，accepting your own vulnerability（接纳自己的脆弱），也是成长的一部分。Erin也分享了一句特别喜欢的话：Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is admit that you can't do everything alone.有时候，一个人最勇敢、也最强大的时刻，恰恰是承认自己并不能独自完成所有事情。这也让人重新理解了蜘蛛侠系列最经典的一句话：With great power comes great responsibility.我们把它翻译成“能力越大，责任越大”。但《崭新之日》赋予了这句话新的意义。Responsibility doesn't mean isolation（责任并不意味着孤独）.那些你想保护的人，其实也一直在保护着你。The people around you aren't just people you need to protect（你身边的人不仅是你要保护的人）, they're also the ones who protect and give you your power（他们同样会保护你，并给予你力量）.这或许也是《崭新之日》区别于很多超级英雄电影的地方。它没有继续歌颂孤军奋战，也没有把自我牺牲塑造成唯一的英雄主义，而是告诉我们：真正的英雄，不仅有勇气保护别人，也有勇气接受别人的帮助。Being a hero isn't about having superpowers. It's about choosing to do the right thing. Every ordinary person can be a hero.英雄并不一定拥有超能力，而是在每一次选择中，坚持做正确的事情。每一个普通人，都可以成为自己的英雄。那么，你已经看过《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》了吗？你最喜欢电影中的哪一幕？是Peter成长后的那句"I'm both."，还是精彩的动作戏，又或是那些关于成长与责任的思考？欢迎在评论区分享你的观影感受，也告诉我们，你最喜欢哪一部蜘蛛侠电影！

We're slinging into this week's episode...webslinging that is, because we're reviewing SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY (2:22). Tom Holland and Zendaya are back as Peter Parker and MJ, but this time they have to find their way back to each other in the wake of SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME's events. (By the way, how is the last live-action Spider-Man movie already from five years ago?!)  With the world having forgotten Peter Parker ever existed, our favorite wall-crawler has to face a powerful new villain while battling his own worst instinct: that he has to handle everything alone. Is it the best Spider-Man movie? Probably not. BRAND NEW DAY has plenty of great ideas, but too many of them feel underdeveloped. It runs longer than it needs to, and at times feels less like a complete story and more like a setup for whatever Marvel has planned next. In other news, in this week's Patreon exclusive audio, we're reviewing the winner of our Sam Neill poll, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER!

This week we've been revisiting all our old Spider-Man/Tom Holland episodes in the run-up to the release of Brand New Day. Today we're revisiting 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, which we saw with an excited and masked audience in the middle of a pandemic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"IT'S WHAT WE DO." The end of the Spider-Marathon is here! After the web-head's month-long stint in legal limbo, Sony and Marvel came to a new agreement for his movies. As the third in his trilogy soon became mired by COVID and the potential extinction of theaters, the two studios decided to make this the biggest film yet -- bringing back past villains and Peter Parkers wholesale. While the movie resurrected theaters from the pandemic and received raving reviews and reactions, peoples' feelings on it have waned over time. So, does it still hold up? Before you see Brand New Day (or after, who knows!), come join Brian, Alec, Darby, and Trey as they finish up the Spider-Marathon with a film that still feels a little unreal -- the extended version of SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME!

pWotD Episode 3374: Spider-Man: Brand New Day Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 361,888 views on Tuesday, 28 July 2026 our article of the day is Spider-Man: Brand New Day.Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a 2026 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. Produced by Columbia Pictures, Marvel Studios, and Pascal Pictures, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it is the 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the fourth film in the MCU Spider-Man film series following Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). The film was directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Tom Holland stars as Peter Parker / Spider-Man, alongside Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, and Mark Ruffalo. In the film, Parker anonymously protects New York City as the hero Spider-Man and investigates a powerful new threat while his superpowers undergo a surprising and potentially dangerous evolution.Sony was developing a fourth MCU Spider-Man film by August 2019, and producer Amy Pascal revealed in November 2021 that it was intended to be the first in a new trilogy starring Holland. Work on the story began that December, with Holland more involved in development than he was for the previous films. McKenna and Sommers returned as writers by February 2023, Cretton was hired to direct by October 2024, and the title—derived from the 2008 comic book storyline "Brand New Day" that reset Spider-Man's status quo—was announced in March 2025. The producers wanted Holland's Parker to be a "proper Spider-Man" for the first time, on his own and fighting street-level crime in New York City. Ahead of filming, Bernthal and Ruffalo were revealed to be reprising their MCU roles of Frank Castle / Punisher and Bruce Banner / Hulk. Filming took place from August to December 2025, with location filming in Glasgow, Scotland, and throughout England. Soundstage work occurred at Pinewood Studios in England.Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiered at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on July 27, 2026, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 31, as part of Phase Six of the MCU. The film received positive reviews from critics.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:54 UTC on Wednesday, 29 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Spider-Man: Brand New Day on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Danielle.

Tom Holland stars as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in four mainline live-action films, alongside appearances in several Marvel Cinematic Universe crossover events. His solo trilogy includes Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), followed by the standalone entry Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026).The character was first introduced in Captain America: Civil War (2016), and Holland has also appeared in major ensemble crossover films like Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

For nearly a decade, we've followed Tom Holland's Peter Parker through almost every defining moment of his life. From his recruitment in Captain America: Civil War to the heartbreaking ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the MCU has given us something no other live-action Spider-Man has experienced: one continuous coming-of-age story. But with Spider-Man: Brand New Day on the horizon, that's about to change. In this episode, I revisit the Home Trilogy and explore why this next chapter feels so different. We talk about Peter's journey from responsibility to independence, the evolution of his Spider-Sense, why the Home Trilogy may secretly be one giant origin story, and why the first real time jump in MCU Spider-Man history has me more excited than ever. Could Brand New Day be the first time we're meeting a Spider-Man who's been growing without us? Swing into the conversation, and let's talk Spidey.

Monströs, chaotisch und gelb: MINIONS & MONSTER überrascht, während THE PIANO TUNER ein paar altmodische Hollywood-Töne anstimmt und Alejandro González Iñárritu noch mal mit seinen AMORES PERROS Gassi geht. Für Sean Pean und Emile Hirsch geht's derweil noch mal INTO THE WILD, während Kommissar Rizzo, alias Bud Spencer alias SIE NANNTEN IHN PLATTFUSS ein weiteres Mal in Neapel aufräumt. Daneben darf sich Schlogger anhand der Streaming- und Mediatheken-Tipps outen, dass sie noch nie DIRTY DANCING gesehen hat. Dafür ist sie aber voll dabei, dass 22 BAHNEN, JOHN WICK: KAPITEL 4 und UNDERWATER: ES IST ERWACHT schon sehenswert sind. Genau wie LEBEN UND STERBEN IN L.A., den Schröck ihr dann noch sehr ans Herz legt. Abgerundet von SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME, FINAL FANTASY VII: ADVENT CHILDREN, SCARFACE und der Fortsetzung STAYING ALIVE, die leider immer noch darunter zu leiden hat, dass sie weniger Menschen kennen als ihren Titelsong. Und das war's dann auch schon. Kurz, knapp, informativ und hoffentlich reich an Watchlist-Material. Am Samstag geht's dann weiter mit HEIMKINO+. Bis dahin: viel Spaß und bleibt so gesund wie gut drauf. Au revoir. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The guys continue with their Marvel Rewatch - watching the Phase 4 films, The Eternals (2021) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). This week, we dissect the highs and lows of the MCU with these two films. Watch along to join the conversation!

This week, join three brothers and their dad as they talk about what they've been watching lately, including Spider-Man: No Way Home. They also rank the remaining Disney movie releases for the year based on expected box office performance, and wrap things up with a review of Sleeping Beauty.

The nostalgia bomb has officially detonated. Ryan and David are covering Spider-Man: No Way Home. This month on Puny Pod, the MCU rewatch podcast that covers the Marvel Cinematic Universe in release order, Ryan and David dig into the movie that made $1.9 billion dollars, broke the all-time trailer record, and — depending on who you ask — is either a top-tier MCU entry or a brilliantly engineered feelings delivery system masquerading as a film. Spoiler: they do not agree. At all. But they both have a very good time arguing about it. Along the way they break down the comics, the wild behind-the-scenes story of how this movie almost didn't happen, the villain who absolutely steals the show, and why Andrew Garfield might deserve a little more credit than he ever got. Plus post-credits scenes, MVP picks, and Ryan making a confession about his relationship with nostalgia that explains a lot. Themes by J.R.

BOSSes, Anne Ganguzza welcomes  powerhouse talent Mark Rider, whose voice has defined campaigns for Ford, Game of Thrones, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Beyond his iconic sound, Mark is a dedicated coach and creator of the VO Life Coach app. In this episode, we explore the parallel between jumping horses and taking creative risks, the "10,000-hour" journey to natural delivery, and why a healthy voice acting mindset—rooted in self-care and mental clarity—is the only way to survive the high-pressure world of trailers and promos.     Chapter Summaries: Horses, Fear, and Character Building (01:48) Anne and Mark bond over their shared passion for horses. Mark notes that jumping a 1,200-pound animal requires staring fear in the face—a skill that translates directly to the booth. They discuss how "eating dirt" (falling off) builds the resilience and character necessary to handle rejection and technical failures in a voiceover career. The Birth of the VO Life Coach App (05:19) Mark shares the "come to Jesus" moment that led to his app. Wrestling with his two loves—performing and coaching—he sought a way to "clone himself" to provide spiritual and professional guidance to talent globally. He emphasizes that "unstucking" talent often involves addressing life strategy rather than just reading scripts. The Myth of "Just Be You" (21:45) Mark issues a controversial reality check: the advice to "just be you" is often misleading. Most scripts are not written for your natural persona. He argues that you must "finish the sentence"—it's about you acting. Successful talent are voice artists who use their unique personality as a tool to inhabit characters and scenarios that are fundamentally different from themselves. The 10,000-Hour Matrix (16:39) There are no workarounds for experience. Mark describes reaching "Year 15" as a "Matrix moment" where auditions began to move in slow motion. He explains that sounding "natural" is a learned skill that only comes after thousands of hours of breaking down copy and internalizing intonation until it becomes instinctual. Zen vs. Chaos: Promo vs. Corporate (41:13) Mark and Anne compare their working styles. While Anne thrives in the "Zen" flexibility of non-broadcast corporate work, Mark admits he craves the "psychotic" chaos of trailer and promo work—getting out of bed at 12:45 AM because a network needs a tag immediately. They agree that the industry has enough room for both mentalities, but you must know which one feeds your soul. Inner Dialogue: Your Biggest Enemy (42:22) Mark's biggest piece of advice for any voice acting mindset is to gain control over your internal dialogue. You don't fail because someone pulls you down; you fail because you allow your own "demons" to tell you that you aren't enough. He recounts wisdom from Maurice Tobias: "Get your life straight first, or the acting won't matter."     Top 10 Takeaways for Voice Actors: Resilience is Rooted in Experience: Much like riding, you aren't a professional until you've "fallen off" and gotten back up several times. Strategize Before You Launch: Don't rush into getting a demo Invest time in planning and building a foundation so you do it right the first time. Self-Care is Non-Negotiable: Your mental and physical health directly affects your vocal production. Put your sanity first. Master the "Unstuck" Mindset: When you feel stuck, it's often a sign that you need to shift your focus from performance to business strategy or mental clarity. Experience Takes Time: Respect the "10,000-hour" rule. Longevity comes to those who are willing to put in the years of daily practice. "Be You" Means "Act as You": Learn to bring your unique spirit to scripts that weren't written for you. It's about authentic interpretation, not just reading. Find Your Niche Energy: Determine if you prefer the stability of corporate narration or the adrenaline of "right now" promo work. The Power of "No": Having the confidence (and the savings) to say no to low-paying, high-stress jobs is a hallmark of a VO Boss. Use Creative Promotional Tools: Mark's "Be Awesome" BBQ sauce serves as a brilliant conversation starter and follow-up tool for building client relationships. Your Inner Voice Rules: Monitor your self-talk. If your internal dialogue is negative, your performance and business growth will suffer.
