Is the SnyderVerse returning with the WB sell?! Today on The Kristian Harloff Show, we dive into a massive wave of breaking news across the industry — and yes, that includes the big headline: Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan & Saudis set to bring back the SnyderVerse in a potential new deal still rumor at this point. With reports that Saudi Arabia's PIF enters the Warner Bros. bid mix, there's a lot to unpack about what this could mean for DC's future and whether the SnyderVerse could actually return. We also cover the latest box-office and franchise updates, including Now You See Me 3 topping the global box office, plus confirmations of Black Panther 3 and Now You See Me 4, giving movie fans plenty to look forward to. On the DC side, BLACK ADAM star Pierce Brosnan says Doctor Fate will appear in Man of Tomorrow, which adds more intrigue to James Gunn's Superman plans. In industry news, Tom Cruise has finally received an Oscar, marking a major moment in his legendary career, and we touch on comments from the Naked Gun director, who is unimpressed with the reboot. Join Kristian as he breaks down all of this movie news, the business side of Hollywood, and what these developments could mean for the future of Warner Bros., DC Studios, and your favorite franchises.

This week we take a look at James Gunn's new DCEU with the first film Superman.
It is time for the final fight. It is the one you have been waiting for. The biggest fight of the century. That is right, Ant Man versus Doctor Doom.....wait....that can't be right. Really, these two? There have been many great one on one fights that have occurred over time. Superman vs Spider-Man, Hulk vs Thing, Impossible Man vs Warlock....but we should figure out what makes a fight epic. I guess one of the ways to know if it is a great fight, is to see who shows up to watch the fight. If the best you can pull are a couple of kids on bikes, it is probably going to be a stinker. If you pull a couple of celestial heavyweights, you may be swinging for the fences. It helps the fight if you have props. I am not talking about tables or chairs, although wrestling does prove that it does help. No, I am talking about proven scientific electrical devices designed to suck the energy out of their bodies. SCIENCE! No matter what happens, you should always have an ambulance on hand in case of an emergency. You never know what could happen. Someone could get hit in the head with a radioactive pebble, or maybe they take a cosmic ray to the eyeball. Anything could happen. Or, you could have your arms crushed while wearing armored gauntlets. You just do not know. Safety first kids. Again, choose your opponent well. Know their strengths and weaknesses. Have they been resurrected recently? What is their strength versus durability? Do they have arms and legs or are they a meeple? Know this before you throw a punch. And then, when the fight starts, don't forget to punch. Look at the pretty artwork here: https://jeffandrickpresent.wordpress.com/2025/11/16/ff-v2-16-for-all-we-have-and-are/ We also have some merchandise over at Redbubble.

Having found myself on the wrong side of 55, I attempt to distract from this devastating realisation by responding to some Movie Monday feedback before indulging in a little retail therapy. First up is James Knight with a call about September's movie Richard Donner's Superman, then we have calls from Joe Richter of Hindsighless and MW Lewis of The Worlds of MW Lewis regarding the October choice Fred Dekker's Monster Squad. I mention a Dungeon Craft review of Chris McDowall's Mythic Bastionland that you can watch here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsJ5px6_8ew This is followed by that strangest of phenomena, the audio unboxing. I take a peek inside Free League's new Vaesen Starter Set, Casey Garske's Stay Frost Remastered, Loke Battle Mats' Dungeon Designer's Deck (as featured on Geek Gamers) and Diogo Nogueira's Screams Amongst The Stars. Check out the Dungeon Designer's Deck here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FuEq0yen-Y This month's Movie Monday is 1984's animated pre-Ghibli classic Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

In this special bonus Ankler Agenda episode, Richard Rushfield chats with Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group co-chairs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy about their journey to Warners, their record-breaking year at the box office and why their strategy paid off on hits from ‘Sinners' to ‘Superman' — all in the face of relentless negative headlines about their bold and risk-taking slate. With a combined 70 years of making movies, these two have seen it all — hits and flops, unexpected wins and surprising losses. But even now, with so many signs pointing to the contrary — and the fate of their studio in doubt, as it's officially up for sale — they both retain a sense of hope and wonder for the best that Hollywood can be.

Winner of the Studs and Ida Terkel Prize A groundbreaking look at how ordinary people are fighting back against their local and state governments to keep their communities safe, by an award-winning journalist Most Americans are likely to encounter the effects of government malfeasance or neglect close to home—from their governors, mayors, town councils, school boards, police, and prosecutors. In fact, deals shrouded in darkness are regularly made at the state and local levels, often the result of closed-door discussions between governments and industry without any scrutiny whatsoever from the public. Too often, as this groundbreaking new work of investigative reporting reveals, residents are intentionally kept on the outside, struggling to get information about significant issues affecting their communities—from car crashes and dirty drinking water, to failing safety gear—until the backroom deals are done and it's too late to challenge them. A work of riveting narrative nonfiction based on years of original reporting, Backroom Deals in Our Backyards: How Government Secrecy Harms Our Communities and the Local Heroes Fighting Back (The New Press, 2025) tells the story of five “accidental activists”—people from across the United States who started questioning why their local and state governments didn't protect them from issues facing their communities and why there was a frightening lack of transparency surrounding the way these issues were resolved. The secret deals, lies, and corruption they uncover shake their faith in government but move them to action. For readers of Chain of Title and Superman's Not Coming, Spivack's revealing take on a hidden dimension of American politics will outrage and educate anyone who cares about the forces shaping their own communities.

Join us for a powerhouse conversation with Jason Aaron, one of the most versatile writers in comics. We dig into the bold reinvention behind Absolute Superman, his upcoming Thundarr the Barbarian series at Dynamite, and his Namor mini at Marvel. Jason also previews the wild sci-fi chaos of Bug Wars from Image, wrapped up his year on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and looks back at career-defining work on Thor, Scalped, Wolverine, and his other creator-owned favorites. It's a candid, craft-driven talk about legacy characters, new worlds, big swings, and why he's still chasing the kind of stories that punch you in the gut.

It's Jimmy Kimmel in tears. The late-night host puts the jokes on hold to share a very personal loss. The band leader he's had for the entire 22-year run of his show has died... At age 59. Last night Kimmel shared his heartbreak with viewers. And it's a hot new country song at the top of the charts...with a catchy tune sung by a handsome cowboy. But don't hold your breath to see him sing it live... Because he's not real. The singer and the song were created with AI technology. Plus, she starred on the popular show Smallville about Superman's early years... Then became a high-ranking member of a sex cult where women were branded. Now after being released from prison... Allison Mack is speaking out. And it's common for men to take testosterone. Millions take it as they get older in the hopes of refueling their energy and libido. But what may surprise you is that some women are now taking it... Saying it's helping them stay young too.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesThough Disney and Marvel Studios have remained tight-lipped and cagey concerning details around the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, the Internet, and a few reputable trades, have collectively discerned that we apparently “know when the Avengers: Doomsday trailer is coming.” The prognosticators have deytermined the trailer will be attached to December's Avatar: Fire & Ash – big news, if true! Another unconfirmed, but believable rumor that has taken the Internet by storm concerns Marvel TV's Wonder Man series and its episode run times, which places the longest episode at 34 minutes and the shortest at 23 including credits. Per The Hollywood Reporter, DC Studios has greenlit a Superman spinoff series focusing on standout Skyler Gisondo's Jimmy Olsen and coming to us from Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, the creators of Netflix's award-winning mockumentary American Vandal. The series is said to focus on Olsen and other Daily Planet reporters, (though Lois Lane and Clark Kent were conspicuously excluded,) as he tackles cases involving superpowered villains, with Season One featuring Flash rogue Gorilla Grodd as a big bad. Predator Badlands was the apex, ahem, predator at the box office last weekend debuting to $40 million domestically and doubling the haul internationally at $80 million worldwide. The film outperformed expectations, representing a much-needed shot of adrenaline in what has been a lethargic Fall box office, while also putting up bests for the franchise; beating out 2004's Alien Vs Predator and 2018's The Predator in the domestic and global arenas, respectively.Blue Beetle and Cobra Kai star Xolo Maridueña has been cast in season 3 of Netflix's One Piece and will play the character Portgas D. Ace.Jennifer Lawrence recently revealed that she and Emma Stone are developing a movie about the iconic Muppet Miss Piggy with Oh, Mary! writer and Tony winner Cole Escola penning the script, marking the character's first solo outing siynce Jim Henson debuted her on The Muppet Show in 1976.Netflix and Sony have finalized a deal for another “KPop Demon Hunters” movie, with plans to release the animated musical sequel in 2029.Lionsgate has released the first trailer for Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' starring Jaafar Jackson, the nephew of the late pop icon. The film from director Antoine Fuqua is set to hit theaters on April 24, 2026, after its release was delayed several times.Prime Video announced that season two of The Night Manager, starring Tom Hiddleston, will premiere on January 11. The second season comes back to Prime ten years after the first season debuted. Warner Brothers has set a release date for the next film in The Gremlins franchise of November 19th 2027. Steven Spielberg is returning to executive produce “Gremlins 3” while “Harry Potter” filmmaker Chris Columbus is set to direct and produce. Disney has released the first official trailer for season 2 of Percy Jackson and The Olympians, which begins streaming on December 10th. In gaming news, Skydance Games is once again pushing the release for the much-anticipated “Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra” video game from May 2026 to November 2026. Rockstar Games also announced that they would be delaying Grand Theft Auto 6 once again, this time from May 2026 to November 2026 as well. Ryan Reynolds and Amazon MGM have teamed up to develop a remake of Thunderbolt & Lightfoot, a 1974 action comedy that starred Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges. Reynolds is eyeing to star in the adaptation and is also collaborating on the script with writers Enzo Mileti and Scott Wilson, a writing team who worked on season four of comedic crime show Fargo. Shane Reid, who edited Reynolds' Deadpool & Wolverine, will make his directorial debut with the project.

Today Alyshia sits down with Pierson Fodé: an actor who you likely have seen all over your Netflix homepage this year. Pierson breaks down the brutal soap-opera contract that became the "best acting bootcamp" he ever had, memorizing up to 120 pages a day, and how he later reinvented himself as an actor to shake casting directors' "soapy" perceptions. We also get into why he loves self tapes including the unconventional farm-boy slate that impressed James Gunn during his Superman audition. He shares his audition approach and belief that hard work is your luck in this industry. Pierson now stars in Netflix's upcoming holiday rom-com A Merry Little Ex-Mas and recently led Netflix's #1 film worldwide The Wrong Paris. Up next, he joins Jennifer Lopez in Robert Zemeckis' highly anticipated thriller The Last Mrs. Parrish. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Pierson Fodé right here.

Great morning, world—welcome back to Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick, where confusion dies and progress thrives. Today, I'm joined by someone who has changed the way thousands of people think about motivation, achievement, and the stories we tell ourselves about success—Nic Voge. Nic is a Senior Lecturer at Princeton University and one of the foremost voices on Self-Worth Theory, a framework first developed by Dr. Martin Covington. His work brings this theory to life, helping students, professionals, and leaders understand how the drive to protect our self-worth often hides beneath patterns like procrastination, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. You may know Nic from his viral TED Talk, where he reveals why high achievers often struggle the most—and how true confidence comes not from doing more, but from redefining where our sense of worth comes from. This isn't just a conversation about productivity—it's about identity.It's about how we relate to failure, success, and the quiet belief that we are—or aren't—enough. So take a deep breath.Because today, we're going to make sense of the stories that shape our self-worth—with Nic Voge.
