EXCLUSIVE: MEGHAN & HARRY'S NETFLIX “RENEWAL” FIZZLES, BEN AFFLECK SNUBBED FROM MATT DAMON & CHRIS HEMSWORTH'S STAR-STUDDED IBIZA BASH, AND SNL CAST FED UP WITH PETE DAVIDSON'S “CELEB BOYFRIEND” REPUTATION

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s much-hyped Netflix “renewal” is more smoke than fire, with insiders insisting the PR spin far outweighs any real payday. Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworth’s 42nd birthday in Ibiza brought out a galaxy of stars — Matt Damon, Rita Ora, Taika Waititi, Liam Hemsworth — but notably left Ben Affleck off the guest list. And back in New York, Pete Davidson’s claims of feeling like an outsider on Saturday Night Live aren’t winning sympathy, with sources saying the cast is tired of him being “more famous for dating than comedy.” Instinct magazine’s Corey Andrew joins Rob with all the dish!

Cultists, continuing with the Sinners theme. Another one of the film's often cited influences was Stephen King's Salem's Lot. Adapted as a two part TV movie by Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper, this Gothic Horror throwback scarred the Gen X kids that grew up with it on television, and gave us one of the ‘70s most iconic vampires the Nosferatu-esque Kurt Barlow.

Alright, in this episode we bounce around a bit—AI, social media trends, random life stuff—but the real juice is all about the latest Marvel and DC movie news. The crew dives into the new Fantastic 4 flick, throws some shade (and some love) at Taika Waititi directing Judge Dredd, and unpacks all the casting rumors and plot teases from the MCU and DCU. Quick hits: • The Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle ad drama takes center stage. We shut down the Nazi imagery claims—says it's a reach. • Taika's officially doing Judge Dredd and everyone's kinda like… “Will the goofy vibes work for this one?” • The Fantastic 4 reboot is getting solid praise—great characters, solid writing—but a few folks wish it dug a little deeper. • Marvel boss Kevin Feige's got a whole seven-year MCU roadmap cooked up: reboot with Franklin Richards, fresh takes on Blade and X-Men, and a pivot toward younger fans and heroes like Spidey. • Over in DC land, James Gunn's teasing multiverse madness, maybe a new Batman, and upcoming shows like Peacemaker (yep, it's back) and Creature Commandos.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesMarvel Studios may be sitting out of this weekend's storied San Diego Comic Hall H, but that hasn't stopped the big news and updates from pouring in. First, last week in a huge move, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige invited a small group of journalists to Marvel Studios' offices where he laid out the future for the next 5 to 7 years for the MCU. The biggest takeaway, arguably, was Feige's cagey hints regarding a likely reset to the universe during the events of Secret Wars, saying, “Reboot is a scary word; Reboot can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Reset, singular timeline — we're thinking along those lines.” Other tidbits from Feige's comments include a commitment to recasting the X-Men with new actors for their post Secret Wars film, an update on the Mahershala Ali-led Blade film and Sony's mandate that they stay away from a live action Miles Morales until the conclusion of the animated Spider-Verse trilogy. In Marvel news that looks to the more immediate future, director Matt Shakman shared that John Malkovich's role and performance as the Red Ghost has been removed from The Fantastic Four: The First Steps, which opens this week!Superman continues to live up to its name when it comes to its performance, as the superhero flick passed $409 million at the global box office in its second weekend of release. The $58 million second weekend, which is a respectable -54% drop from the opening weekend, is in keeping with 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine and bodes favorably compared to other recent releases from the comic book genre; plus coupled with other wins like A Minecraft Movie and Sinners, the latest success has helped Warner Bros become 2025's top earning studio with $1.32 billion in ticket sales. In other news, Variety confirmed Supergirl writer Ana Nogueira has been tapped to pen the Wonder Woman reboot for the DCU in addition to being attached to a live action Teen Titans project for the studio.Lots and lots of trailers hit the interwebs last week, lets run them down and talk about ‘em:Alien: EarthPredator: BadlandsTron: AresStranger Things S5Mortal Kombat IIChristopher Nolan made history by putting tickets on sale for The Odyssey exactly one year before the film's release, marking the first time any movie tickets have sold a full year in advance.

It's weird. We don't quite understand it either. We also discuss the trailers for TRON: ARES, Mortal Kombat II, and Hoppers! All this, plus a whole lot more nonsense!

Welkom bij Nerd Culture Episode 2018, de podcast waar popcultuur, films en nostalgie elkaar elke week in de armen vliegen. Deze week gaan we vol in de spoilers met een uitgebreide nabespreking van James Gunn's Superman. We reviewen ook Ballerina, de John Wick-spin-off met Ana de Armas, én Marvel's nieuwste poging tot iets fris met Thunderbolts. Daarnaast veel heet nerdnieuws: van Judge Dredd door Taika Waititi tot Zelda-casting, Mortal Kombat II, Stranger Things S5, en nog véél meer. Kortom: Nerd Culture zoals je het gewend bent. Let's go!Superman Spoiler ReviewSpoiler alert! In deze aflevering van Nerd Culture duiken we diep in James Gunn's nieuwe Superman, dit keer mét Jelle aan tafel. We bespreken alles wat vorige week nog onbesproken bleef: van het openingsshot tot de climax, de rol van Lex Luthor, Krypto's screentime, en Gunn's visie op het DCU als geheel. Wat werkt er wél, wat niet, en wat belooft dit voor de toekomst van DC? Als je de film nog niet hebt gezien: dit is je laatste kans om weg te zappen. Ballerina ReviewWe bespreken Ballerina, de nieuwste spin-off in het John Wick-universum met Ana de Armas in de hoofdrol. Is dit een stijlvolle uitbreiding van de Wick-wereld of een nutteloze zijstap? We duiken in de actiechoreografie, worldbuilding, bekende gezichten (hallo, Keanu!) en vragen ons af of dit de juiste richting is voor de franchise. De film belooft veel, maar weet hij het niveau van John Wick vast te houden? Wij delen onze ongezouten mening.Thunderbolts / The New Avengers ReviewWe hebben eindelijk Marvel's Thunderbolts gezien. In deze review bespreken we of dit antiheldenteam — met o.a. Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova en Red Guardian — het MCU nieuw leven inblaast of juist voelt als mosterd na de maaltijd. Hoe verhoudt de toon zich tot eerdere Marvel-projecten? Werkt het teamdynamiek? En is dit het begin van een donkerdere, gedurfde Marvel-fase? Wij nemen je mee door de highs, lows en alles ertussenin.Judge Dredd krijgt reboot met Taika WaititiTaika Waititi stapt naar Mega-City One! De regisseur van Thor: Ragnarok werkt aan een nieuwe Judge Dredd-film, geschreven door Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3, Hobbs & Shaw). Volgens insiders krijgt deze versie een iets lichtere toon dan de eerdere, rauwe interpretaties met Stallone en Karl Urban. Wat betekent dat voor een franchise die bekendstaat om z'n grimmige dystopie en ultrageweld? Is Waititi de juiste man om Dredd naar het grote scherm terug te brengen? Wij bespreken wat we tot nu toe weten — en of dit goed nieuws is voor Dredd-fans.Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #21800:00:35 Wat gaan we vandaag doen? 00:00:00 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd? 00:00:46 Superman Review00:01:30 Superman Spoilers00:26:40 Superman II Review00:30:10 Superman II Spoilers00:33:48 Ballerina Review00:39:35 Thunderbolts Review00:41:59 Thunderbolts Spoilers00:50:02 Stranger Things Season 5 Trailer00:52:55 James Gunn onthult eerste key art Supergirl00:54:30 17 jaar geleden verscheen Nolan's The Dark Knight 00:55:43 Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey uitverkocht00:56:35 Een eerste blik op Nick Frost's Hagrid & de nieuwe Harry00:58:30 Emmy's01:03:50 Live-action Captain Planet serie in de maak bij Netflix01:04:35 Invincible krijgt een seizoen 501:07:00 Tron: Ares Trailer01:09:20 Eerste teaser clip voor Mortal Kombat II's Johnny Cage01:10:00 Uncaged Fury poster bekendgemaakt01:11:00 Mortal Kombat II Trailer01:13:00 The Last of Us seizoen drie laat lang op zich wachten01:15:45 Live-action Assassin's Creed in de maak bij Netflix01:17:23 Nintendo kondigt castings aan voor The Legend of Zelda01:19:00 Is er een Donkey Kong film in de maak bij Universal01:19:39 Een eerste blik op Splinter Cell bij Netflix01:21:00 Taika Waititi en Drew Pearce slaan de handen ineen voor Judge Dredd01:23:03 Alien: Earth Trailer01:25:00 Koos met Magic The Gatherting: Final Fantasy

Taika Waititi is officially directing a new Judge Dredd movie, with Drew Pearce (The Fall Guy, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation) writing the script. Both are longtime fans of the Dredd comics and are promising a return to the dark satire and heavy worldbuilding of the original 2000 AD stories.In this video, I break down everything we know about the project, including the team's goal to distance it from the 1995 and 2012 versions, their hopes for a Dredd universe, and whether Taika's style can actually work for something this gritty. I also share my own thoughts—because let's be honest, the Stallone and Urban movies still have their charm.Drop your thoughts in the comments: Are you excited for this version? Or worried it'll be too goofy for Mega-City One?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 14, 2025 is: bamboozle • bam-BOO-zul • verb To bamboozle someone is to deceive, trick, or confuse them. // The salesperson bamboozled us into getting a more expensive item than we had planned to buy. See the entry > Examples: "'We're not trying to make a perfect film that's, like, got a twist: Oh my God, the coach is a ghost! We're not out to bamboozle audiences or get awards or anything,' [Taika] Waititi told Polygon. The director continued, 'We want to make a nice movie, a true story about a football team, and the only message is, "Be happy and don't live in the past."'" — Monica Mercuri, Forbes, 20 Feb. 2024 Did you know? In 1710, Irish author Jonathan Swift wrote an article on "the continual Corruption of our English Tongue" in which he complained of "the Choice of certain Words invented by some pretty Fellows." (Note that pretty originally meant "artful, clever.") Among the inventions Swift disliked was bamboozle, which was used by contemporary criminals. Beyond those who favored the word, little is known of its early days, but the word has clearly defied Swift's assertion that "All new affected Modes of Speech ... are the first perishing Parts in any Language." With its first syllable like a sound effect, bamboozle hints at mystification or magic when it is used to mean "to confuse, frustrate, or perplex," as in "The batters were bamboozled by the pitcher's dazzling curveball."

Bikepacking New Zealand: Waihau Bay, Māori Resilience & Surfing in Gisborne – Part 2

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP Well, guys, if you enjoyed part 1 of my epic trip across to New Zealand then get yourself a cold one, sit back, relax, and get ready to enjoy the second part of the story. If you didn't catch part 1 earlier this week then make sure you go back and listen to that first. We pick up the journey at the start of day 3, and head straight to the iconic Waihau bay. This stunning area was made famous by Taika Waititi's film ‘Boy', and oh man was it special; what a way to kick off the second half of the trip. After some delicious home made ice cream at the Pacific Coast Macadamia Store we cracked on down the coast. I bumped into a fella called Giles who was undertaking a similar bikepacking trip with his son, and we cracked open a few Gizzy Golds and yarned into the evening.  Heading back down the coast towards Gisborne we took in more stunning views, and surveyed the aftermath of Cyclone Gabrielle that struck the region back in 2023. Still in the cleanup stages, it's clear to see how the disaster decimated the land and the sea, but the way the Māori people have rallied around each other and is really heartening, and left us all feeling pretty inspired.  What better way to wrap up a trip through some of the hottest surfing on the planet than with a quick lesson? I was taken out into the water with legendary local surfer, Holly Quinn, who showed me how to master the waves and helped me get up. We sealed off the adventure by visiting Sunshine brewery; the home of the iconic Gizzy Gold which I'd become so familiar with over the week. Honestly, guys, if you ever get the chance to head out to the North West coast of the North Island and explore Gisborne and the surrounding area - jump on it; you won't regret it.  I hope you really enjoyed listening to these two eps; I had an amazing time and I'm really grateful to Tairāwhiti Gisborne - the Gisborne Tourism Board - for making it happen.
