Welcome to Databank Brawl Rewind! Databank Brawl was a series that ran on ForceCenter from 2016 to 2020, and it remains one of our more beloved shows. Though Databank Brawl is on hiatus, we wanted to celebrate it along with longtime listeners of the podcast and reintroduce it to the ForceCenter listeners who began listening to the podcast after the end of the show's run. Though all of the episodes remain on our podcast feed, it can be daunting to scroll back and find them, so we're launching Databank Rewind. Here's your chance to go back to those episodes week by week and laugh with us at old jokes, memorable moments, unforgettable guests, and, yeah, old microphones, recordings, and perhaps some Star Wars predictions that came true alongside many that most certainly did not. Databank Brawl -- where Star Wars characters are plucked from the entries of the StarWars.com databank and forced to fight it out in an off-the-cuff podcast moderated by Joseph Scrimshaw. It's time to fight...From the minds of Ken Napzok (comedian, host of The Napzok Files), Joseph Scrimshaw (comedian, writer, director of Dead Media), and Jennifer Landa (actress, YouTuber, crafter, contributor on StarWars.com) comes the ForceCenter Podcast Feed. Here you will find a series of shows exploring, discussing, and celebrating everything about Star Wars. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.

Before the MCU, before the modern wave of DC Comics movies, and long before superhero films dominated the box office… there was The Phantom (1996). In this episode of the SuperHero Homies Throwback Series, we revisit the cult comic book movie The Phantom starring Billy Zane and Treat Williams to see if this forgotten superhero film holds up today… or if it belongs deep in the jungle with the Skull Cave. Our Throwback episodes celebrate older movies (usually 25+ years old) with humor, nostalgia, and a fun pop culture discussion. This time, a fan of the show suggested we review The Phantom, and it turned out to be an absolute blast. Even though we don't think this 90s superhero movie is technically good, it ended up being one of the funniest and most entertaining watches with friends we've had in a while. In this episode we discuss: • The full plot breakdown of The Phantom (1996) • The movie's roots in the classic Phantom comic strip and comic books • Billy Zane's performance as the legendary purple-suited hero • Treat Williams' over-the-top villain energy • The action scenes, adventure tone, and jungle setting • The unintentionally hilarious dialogue • Why the cinematography and action choreography feel so dated • The strange charm that makes this movie oddly enjoyable • Our favorite ridiculous and memorable moments Even with its awkward dialogue, lackluster plot, stiff action scenes, and questionable filmmaking choices, The Phantom somehow manages to deliver a weirdly charming comic book adventure that's perfect for a group watch with friends. But before we jump into this 90s superhero time capsule… Cold Open Topics Include: • Our thoughts on the new Lanterns TV series trailer • Our favorite moments from DC Comics' Doomsday Clock storyline • The infamous Ace Ventura rhino prop being put up for sale • The recent bizarre Jim Carrey controversy circulating online If you enjoy: Superhero podcasts Comic book discussions Throwback movie reviews Pop culture debates Nerd culture analysis MCU & DC commentary Retro comic book movies “So bad it's good” movie discussions …then you'll feel right at home with the SuperHero Homies. About SuperHero Homies SuperHero Homies is a superhero and pop culture podcast where we discuss Marvel, DC Comics, comic book movies, superhero TV shows, Star Wars, and everything in nerd culture.

In episode 005 of The Leadership Contrarian, Michael Redman explores how our cultural picture of leadership has evolved—from the lone hero archetype to the kind of leadership required in today's organizations. Classic movie heroes like John Wayne taught us that leadership meant strength, certainty, and independence. But stories like Star Wars revealed a different kind of leadership—one where very different people must learn to trust each other and work together to overcome challenges. Modern leadership isn't about the lone hero riding in to save the day. It's about bringing people together, building trust, and helping teams succeed collectively. This episode introduces two of the five relational capabilities that research has shown to be foundational to effective leadership: Caring Connection and Fostering Team Play. Michael reviews how trust, honesty, and shared responsibility can transform both culture and performance. If leadership today requires more than grit and determination, the real question becomes: what skills actually allow leaders and teams to thrive together?

Un artículo científico asegura que hay un agujero negro de ADN en el centro de la Tierra. Suena descabellado, y lo es: se trata de una trampa brillante para dejar en evidencia a las llamadas revistas científicas depredadoras, publicaciones que presumen de revisión por pares pero que no leen ni lo que publican. Y no es un caso aislado: en 2017, un neurocientífico logró colar un estudio sobre los midichlorianos de Star Wars en varias revistas. ¿Qué dice esto del sistema en el que se apoya buena parte de la ciencia que consumimos? Hoy tiramos del hilo y lo que encontramos al otro lado es bastante inquietante. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Episode Title: "Bang Bang A-Boom!" - Season 12 Retrospective & Big Finish Review - Patreon Exclusive #85 SPECIAL MAIN FEED RELEASE - PATREON SHOWCASE DOCTOR WHO THEME MONTAGE: The Tardis Elliot Video: John sent Jim a montage from Tardis Elliot (a fan who makes trailers of Doctor Who episodes) featuring title opening sequences. John's Reasoning: "This is the last, with Tom Baker, the last hurrah for the original version of the Doctor Who theme. After this, we're going to start seeing the variations. I thought, give me a little sneak peek at what's in store for you if you continue on into the new series and all." NO COMIC THIS WEEK: Jim: "What a relief that was. It's terrible for me to say that, but what a relief. It was nice having a break. It really was." SEASON 12 RETROSPECTIVE: SEASON AVERAGES: Jim: 10.2/15 John: 11/15 Overall Average: 10.6/15 Jim: "Some of that is nostalgia for you." John: "Absolutely." SEASON 13 SPOILER CARDS: The Three Cards: Ncuti Gatwa Fembots Classic Movies JIM'S CHOICE PROCESS: "How in the world could I possibly pick? I can pretty quickly eliminate Classic Movies, even though I like classic movies. I'm really intrigued by the other two." Fembots: "I'm not as big of a Bionic Woman fan as you are. I didn't watch it regularly like I did $6 Million Man. I know who the Fembots are and I liked that she had a recurring adversary, that was sort of her Daleks." THE PICK: NCUTI GATWA THE REVEAL: PYRAMIDS OF MARS BIG FINISH: BANG BANG A-BOOM! Release: December 19th, 2002 (their second Christmas episode) Writers: Gareth Roberts & Clayton Hickman Director: Nicholas Pegg Doctor: Sylvester McCoy Companion: Mel THE BASIC PLOT: "Star Trek meets Space 1999 meets Eurovision." The Setup: "The TARDIS lands on Dark Space 8 and finds themselves dealing with a whole bunch of aliens who are on the station because the Doctor is mistaken for the replacement commander for the station." The Backstory: "The TARDIS winds up on a shuttle that's transporting the new commander, but it explodes before it reaches the station. They are beamed onto the station - he and Mel - as the only survivors of it." Beamed vs. Transmitted: "They actually say 'beamed' in this case. They don't use the term transporter though. But I think that term was already being used in science fiction before. It's like blasters. I was naive enough to think that blasters came from Star Wars, but in Foundation by Isaac Asimov, the guns are called blasters." THE ELEMENTS: Space 1999: "The Space 1999 bit is the medical doctor who sounds an awful lot like Barbara Bain. She's going out of her way. She's the one doing medical logs like Bain did in Season 2 of Space 1999. Barbara Bain had a very distinctive voice. This woman seems to be placing that same emphasis on it there." Star Trek: "There's a lot of references to Star Trek. You look and you go 'Oh, now they're referencing this episode. Now they're referencing that episode.'" Eurovision: "They got someone who did a dead-on impression of the guy. For years Eurovision was hosted by a BBC presenter Wogan from Northern Ireland. So they have their version being Logan and he sounds just like him. It was cute." THE INTERGALACTIC SONG CONTEST: "On the station, while he's trying to figure out who tried to kill or not try to but successfully killed the new commander, the Doctor's also got to deal with an intergalactic song contest." JOHN'S VERDICT: Worth It? "It's worth a listen, especially if you are a Star Trek fan. And in my case, I had to laugh at the Eurovision spoofing they did." NEXT TIME: Friday (Patreon): Big Finish's "The Ark" - Jon Lucarotti's original story before it became Ark in Space Saturday (Main Feed): Reissue/release of a Patreon episode - Jon Pertwee Retrospective Monday (Patreon #86): "Primarily we're going to be focusing on the comic strips that were on during the break." The Reality: "It's going to be a mix of stuff from the strip and also a comic from the TV Comic Annual for 1976." "And that is our Big Finish for this show!"

David explains why the original vector-display Vectrex remains so special, the challenges of recreating it with modern hardware, and how the Kickstarter campaign unexpectedly smashed its funding goal.

This week on the podcast, Bob is joined by Matty Bonez for a passionate, hilarious defense of Scream 7 — or at least the idea of Scream 7 — as they unpack franchise loyalty, Ghostface obsession, sequel burnout, and whether this latest entry is truly as bad as the internet says. From AI-fueled plot complaints and trailer oversharing to the enduring appeal of a good whodunit slasher, it's a fun conversation about why some horror fans keep coming back no matter how messy it gets. They also close things out with a chaotic blind ranking of major movie franchises, forcing Matt to stack Scream, Rocky, Harry Potter, Fast & Furious, Halloween, Star Wars, and more in real time. It's part horror debate, part franchise therapy session, and fully the kind of movie-nerd chaos we live for.

It's time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin dive into a "what would you do" based on another Reddit story, this one involving a student who accidentally submitted erotic fan fiction to their professor instead of their term paper. Doug then tells Justin a tale about an unwanted timeshare pitch that happened at a hotel while spending a weekend in the Wisconsin Dells. Needless to say, Practical Doug and Justice Doug were very much on edge. The dorks finally make it to the main topic, when a sequel accidentally rewrites the moral of the original. They discuss examples like Jurassic Park, Rocky, Rambo, Wall Street, Star Wars, and X-Men.   Things are wrapped up with a game of Tagline Trivia, where Justin reads three taglines for a movie and Doug has to pick which one is the real one.   Check out our YouTube channel!

https://lnk.bio/Jeditalk  There was not a ton of Star Wars news for episode 430 - so Tom and Brad do what we do best.  We eventually get to talking about what might make The Mandalorian and Grogu the BEST Star Wars movie yet - although it's insurmountable.  On the way to our chat about Mando and Grogu...we touched briefly on MetallicA's Sphere tickets going on sale. Tomorrow and Brad both played and finished Resident Evil: Requim and give non spoiler thoughts.  Thanks for listening!  https://lnk.bio/Jeditalk 

Author and broadcaster Samira Ahmed used to watch A Hard Day's Night once a week and she's just written an enthralling account of the shoot and its impact for the BFI's Classic Films series. A movie, she points out, that celebrates Britishness and suburbia made largely by immigrants that broke every Hollywood rule, a film made to capture the essence of the Beatles before the bubble burst “which turned out to be the start of something not the end”. She talks to us here about … … the film's connections with the Goons, the Young Ones, Dr Strangelove, Star Wars, Billy Liar, It's Trad Dad and the Nouvelle Vague … and its influence - from the Dave Clark Five's Catch Us If You Can and Paul Jones' Privilege to Charlie XCX and the Moment … how the train sequence for I Should Have Known Better invented pop video … the play John and Paul wrote (Pilchard!) that was a homage to its scriptwriter Alun Owen … Paul's two-day solo shoot with Isla Blair and other (mercifully) deleted scenes ... Profumo, pirate radio, the changing Britain of 1964 … Pattie Boyd, Anna Quayle, Alison Seebohm and other stand-out female stars … Wilfred Brambell's gigantic fee and how badly his part has aged … why George and Ringo emerged as the stars … surely the greatest scene? – “She's a drag, a well-known drag. We turn the sound down on her and say rude things” … “hair that moved!”: the film's impact in the USA … “beat-up and depraved in the nicest possible way” … and how the dubbed-on dialogue about Ingmar Bergman made the German version “a film for cineastes”.

This week on Men of Steel, Case and Jmike are joined by Jay McKiernan to explore the Legends of Dead Earth annual for Superman: The Man of Steel from 1996. Written by Kurt Busiek, this issue delivers a sweeping space opera full of big ideas, bold heroism, and some seriously strong artwork to match. Spoiler alert: we all love this one.

Caleb is introduced as a fisherman whose community is attacked by the Empire, triggering his journey with freedom fighters and discovery of his potential powers from absorbing stellar radiation. The story takes place substantially further in the future than the Legion of Superheroes, with hints suggesting several thousand years ahead, involving a cyclical rebirth of Superman-like figures. The setting and plot borrow heavily from classic sci-fi tropes, especially Star Wars, with Empire-like antagonists and clone troopers, making it easy for readers to engage with familiar themes while exploring a fresh character. Character and Costume Design Caleb's design and costume stand out as a major positive, combining classic Superman elements with a unique space barbarian aesthetic (09:52). The costume features a red belt breaking up the silhouette, inspired by Chris Prowse's Legion era designs, which help avoid the "columnar" look typical of Superman's outfit. The only notable design critique was the oversized bracers and a 90s-style hairdo, which some felt clashed with the otherwise sharp look. Caleb's character design matches his personality and setting, with long hair and a rugged vibe fitting the spacefaring, water-world environment, enhancing his appeal as a heroic figure. Plot Developments and Key Conflicts The narrative efficiently covers Caleb's rise and battles against the Empire, culminating in his confrontation with Lex Luthor the 60th (35:00). Caleb's powers develop over time, including space-time warping and remote sensing abilities, which provide a fresh take on traditional Superman powers adapted for a sci-fi setting. The Empire's force, led by a long-lived Lex Luthor using cloned armies and Kryptonian technology, creates a formidable adversary, deepening the story's stakes and enhancing the space opera feel. The story ends on an open note, with Caleb and his love interest Lang expecting a child on a remote planet named Solitude, leaving the final battle unresolved and inviting reader imagination. Creative Team and Storytelling Quality The story benefits from the involvement of veteran creators Kurt Busiek, Paul Ryan, and Joe Rubenstein, resulting in a well-crafted and engaging narrative (13:32). Busiek's experience shines through with a concise yet dense script that balances action, character development, and world-building without unnecessary filler. The art consistently supports the story's energy, with Paul Ryan's layouts and finishes providing clear, dynamic visuals that highlight the vast space battles and intimate character moments. The use of water metaphors and first-person narration by Caleb adds depth and a unique voice, enhancing the immersive quality of the story. Strategic and Thematic Insights The annual explores themes of legacy, cyclical rebirth, and moral responsibility in a far-future setting, positioning Caleb as both a fighter and a moral center (45:16). Caleb's ethical decision to protect a newly discovered Krypton-like world instead of exploiting it for military gain underscores his role as a leader with a strong moral compass. The story embraces the idea of multiple Superman-origin planets, enriching the DC Universe's multiverse concept and allowing fresh storytelling avenues. The Empire's conquest and use of cloned soldiers and stolen technology reflect classic villain archetypes, reinforcing the narrative's deliberate homage to space opera traditions while keeping the tone accessible. Audience Reception and Legacy Potential Hosts expressed high regard for this annual, considering it one of the best in the Legends of Dead Earth line due to its clear storytelling, strong art, and compelling character (49:10). The story's straightforward approach and well-paced plot make it highly recommended and enjoyable even for readers less familiar with extended Superman lore. Despite its quality, Caleb's story appears to be a one-off with no known follow-ups, though the hosts expressed hope that the character and concept could be expanded in future multiverse or alternate universe tales. The annual's blend of familiar sci-fi elements with a fresh Superman iteration creates potential for inspiring new stories that merge classic superhero themes with space opera drama.

En este programa de La Guarida del Sith nos metemos en terreno pantanoso: hablar sin filtros de lo peor de Star Wars. Sí, ese universo que amamos… pero que también tiene decisiones, momentos y cosas que nos hacen llevarnos la mano a la cara como si acabáramos de ver un droide intentando pilotar un X-Wing. Entre cachondeo, vaciles y mucho debate, repasamos algunas de las cosas más cuestionables que han salido de una galaxia muy, muy lejana: ideas raras, personajes discutibles, momentos que dividen al fandom y decisiones creativas que todavía hoy hacen que medio internet se pelee. Nada de solemnidad Jedi aquí. Esto es una charla entre colegas donde el respeto convive con el humor ácido, la nostalgia y algún que otro sablazo verbal digno del lado oscuro. En la mesa del caos galáctico: Amelia, Fer, Gonki, Almu y El Mamado, repasando con humor y bastante mala leche todo aquello que, incluso siendo fans de la saga, nos hace decir: “George… ¿pero esto qué es?” Si te gusta Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, The Mandalorian y en general el universo de Darth Vader, este programa es para ti… sobre todo si también sabes reírte un poco de sus meteduras de pata. Prepárate para un debate friki, caótico y muy divertido. Porque amar Star Wars también significa poder bromear sobre sus momentos más discutibles.

Welcome back to The Kristian Harloff Show, your daily source for the biggest movie news, TV updates, and pop culture discussions! On today's episode, Kristian Harloff breaks down the biggest headlines in entertainment—from DC Studios and HBO to major upcoming films hitting theaters in 2026. First up, the LANTERNS trailer has finally dropped, giving fans their first look at the upcoming HBO Max DC series featuring Hal Jordan and John Stewart. The grounded tone and detective-style story have sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans loving the gritty approach while others question the direction of the DCU. Is the reaction justified, or are fans overreacting to an early teaser? The series is expected to arrive on HBO and HBO Max in 2026 and will follow the two Green Lanterns investigating a mysterious murder tied to the larger DC Universe. Next, we discuss the fascinating production detail behind Project Hail Mary, the upcoming sci-fi film starring Ryan Gosling. According to the filmmakers, the movie was shot without using a single green screen, with massive practical sets built to create the spacecraft environment. This ambitious approach could give the film a more realistic look compared to typical CGI-heavy space movies. We also talk about The Bride!, the new monster film inspired by Bride of Frankenstein, which is receiving very mixed early reviews from critics. Is this a bold reinterpretation of a classic horror story, or another divisive remake? Finally, there's an update on DC projects Man of Tomorrow and The Batman Part II, as reported shooting start dates give fans a timeline for when production could begin. However, if you were hoping for a crossover between the two worlds, the current reports suggest you shouldn't count on it. Join Kristian as he breaks down all of today's stories, reacts to the latest trailers, and gives his take on where the future of DC, sci-fi films, and major studio releases might be headed.

A long time ago in a galaxy, far far away... there was a spaceship with a princess and a pair of droids and a malevolence dressed in black. There was a desert world with two suns and a farm boy whose only chance at escaping the planet's gravity was a wizard who lived out in the hills and couple of smugglers looking for a big payday. And there was something grey--aggressively grey--a sphere in the darkness of space, blocking out the stars, lighting up envy green, and insisting on its own place in the orbits of galactic lives. Today we talk about Star Wars.

Darth Maul doesn't just survive; he conquers. With Matthew out of town, Alex and Erin take over Star Wars Generations to dig into Maul's arc across The Clone Wars Seasons 4 and 5: the Death Watch alliance, the takeover of Mandalore, and the cold, calculated murder of Satine — engineered specifically to break Obi-Wan.The hosts trace how Maul goes from drifting through space to ruling a planet and commanding multiple crime syndicates in a matter of weeks, and what it reveals about his obsession with Kenobi. They also reckon with Palpatine's stunning arrival on Mandalore — dual-wielding lightsabers, dissolving Savage to nothing — and what it means that the Emperor kept Maul alive on purpose. Plus: the tragic arc of Savage Opress, Almec's return as a puppet ruler, and the surprisingly deep roots these episodes put down for The Mandalorian, Rebels, and everything that came after.Related episodes: Maul's revival in S4 E21–22 · The Box arc with Embo, S4 E15–18**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Maul searches for identity even after he's found, surprisingly alive in Rebels episode Brothers. His multi-tiered life to exact revenge on the Jedi that left him for dead and stole every opportunity given to him, according to Maul himself.

In this episode, Jim Hill and Dan Graney zoom out and look at the chessboard. With Josh D'Amaro stepping into the CEO role and a noticeably restrained tone coming out of Disney leadership, the conversation isn't about splashy announcements. It's about positioning. From Avengers: Doomsday reshoots and Doctor Doom Oreo rollouts to Sony's Spider-Man reset and Lucasfilm's next theatrical move, this week felt less like checkmate and more like pieces quietly sliding into place. HIGHLIGHTS • A major executive profile previews Josh D'Amaro's March 18 CEO transition and underscores how Parks and Experiences now drive the majority of Disney's operating income. • Disney leadership publicly tempers expectations around Marvel while privately expressing confidence in Avengers: Doomsday as a potential 2026 event film. • Reports of three weeks of Doomsday reshoots in London raise the question: routine refinement or cause for concern? • A premium screen showdown looms as Doomsday is currently slated opposite Dune: Part Three, which holds IMAX exclusivity opening weekend. • Marvel lays groundwork for Doctor Doom across publishing and consumer products, including a coordinated comic relaunch and national Oreo promotion. • Sony Pictures signals a “full-scale reboot” of its live-action Spider-Man villain universe, pivoting back toward hero-centered storytelling and deeper collaboration with Kevin Feige. • A quick Star Wars temperature check, including internal reactions to The Mandalorian & Grogu marketing and early buzz around Star Wars: Starfighter.
