Nerd Culture #269 is ook te bekijken op https://youtu.be/glS_AYkpva8 Deze week schuift Jelle weer aan naast Koos voor een aflevering die volledig in het teken staat van Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Koos zag de langverwachte Marvel-film in de bioscoop en deelt zijn uitgebreide, spoilervrije indrukken, waarna ze natuurlijk ook dieper op de film ingaan. Daarnaast bespreken ze het laatste nieuws uit San Diego Comic-Con, met updates over Ghost Rider, Black Panther 3, Lanterns, Home Alone, Indiana Jones en nog veel meer uit de wereld van films, series en comics. Spider-Man Brand New Day Review Spider-Man is terug en hoe. Koos dook de bioscoop in voor Spider-Man: Brand New Day en deelt zijn uitgebreide, spoilervrije indrukken van misschien wel de belangrijkste superheldenfilm van het jaar. Is Marvel er na No Way Home opnieuw in geslaagd een onvergetelijke Spider-Man-film af te leveren? Daarnaast bespreken Koos en Jelle waarom Peter Parker ogenschijnlijk immuun is voor de veelbesproken 'superhero fatigue'. Terwijl andere Marvel-films wisselende resultaten boeken, lijkt Brand New Day af te stevenen op een van de grootste openingsweekenden ooit. Uiteraard duiken we ook in wat dit betekent voor de toekomst van Spider-Man én het Marvel Cinematic Universe. X-Men '97 Season 2 Review Na een ijzersterk eerste seizoen is ook X-Men '97 terug, en zowel Jelle als Koos hebben de eerste drie afleveringen van seizoen 2 gezien. Weten de makers het hoge niveau vast te houden, of blijkt een vervolg op zo'n geliefde serie toch lastiger dan gedacht? Ze bespreken hun eerste indrukken, de nieuwe verhaallijnen, de terugkeer van bekende mutanten en waarom X-Men '97 opnieuw laat zien waarom de X-Men tot de sterkste Marvel-franchises behoren.

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; even though we are Celebrating our 10th Year of Podcasting; we unfortunately exhausted all our energy on the Previous SDCC Reveals & Announcements Ep. So we are giving you a ReIssue episode instead from the Vault. (Originally Posted as Ep #143 - from October 2019). Original blurb: It’s a very special ep as we’re joined by not one, but two of favourite guests in Davey Damaged and Scotty so that’s right – it’s a Homer episode! Trent takes us through a vintage retrospective look at The Addams family by Playmates. Perfectly timed for Halloween, we wonder what could have been with this short-lived line and look to the future of the franchise as a new movie approaches. What characters didn’t get made, which ones make the camera glow and where does MC Hammer fit into it all? We make the jump to Show and Tell as Davey tries to trump us all with a purchase so large, we doubt it will actually fit in his toy room! There’s some DC, MOTU and even Final Fantasy options to choose from. Frank gives a lovely tribute showing that sometimes, the value of a toy; lays in more than its sticker price. Then it’s Quiz time and with Davey onboard, anything is possible. To say this episode goes off the rails is putting it mildly – but on the plus side we learnt that Trent can’t hold his liquor, Ben thinks photos record sound, Space Jam was an event and Rick Moranis is Trent’s muse. So hold on for this crazy ride that also serves as a farewell for one of the team…Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We dive into The Mandalorian and Grogu and break down the galaxy's cutest duo as they jump to the big screen. Found family, space‑western chaos, and plenty of Grogu antics.
The gourd has matured; Brandon has not. As Credere tries to tackle a few serious topics: purpose, life goals and shit not stopping; Brandon in his highness acts a fool. Episode 375 and 475 flashback. No car payment, new phone. Parking spots and Brandon's run for office. Mandalorian and Grogu (nice name…NOT) review.
The Mandalorian and Grogu movie is still in some theaters and now available in your home! In August, you'll be able to own a hard copy. Starfighter's writer, director, and lead actor will colaborate again soon, but for Marvel instead of Lucasfilm. VFX workers UNITE! SWZC is a thing and it's almost here. SDCC 2026 is a thing, and it just happened. Wait until you hear about all the new collectibles!

The AI industry spent the week arguing with itself, which is honestly the healthiest thing it's done in years. One coalition led by Nvidia begged regulators not to slow down open AI models, while more than 1,100 AI workers signed another letter asking regulators to do exactly that. Anthropic warned about bioweapons, OpenAI admitted the four-hour workweek isn't happening after all, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella reminded everyone that building your entire business on someone else's AI is a fantastic way to outsource your own brain. In other words, the people selling the future still can't agree on what they're selling, except that you'd better buy it fast.Meanwhile, the AI bubble keeps demanding sacrifices. Patreon, BuzzFeed, and Uber all swung the layoff axe while insisting AI isn't replacing humans... it's just reorganizing them out of a paycheck. Nvidia is floating another three-quarters of a trillion dollars in infrastructure deals that have people muttering "AI subprime mortgage crisis," China has discovered there's money in renting your face to AI companies, and the U.S. is carving data centers out of pollution rules because apparently acid rain is a small price to pay for chatbot dominance. Add in ChatGPT suddenly refusing to imitate famous authors, researchers discovering AI coding assistants are happily installing malware if you ask nicely, and Meta launching an ad campaign about the wonders of AI that somehow forgets to mention what any of those wonders actually are.Elsewhere in Tech Hell™, eBay finally paid the price for its executives' unhinged harassment campaign involving pig masks and live insects, Elon is shopping The Boring Company while promising money won't matter in the AI utopia of 2036, and a traveler is headed to court after allegedly triggering GrapheneOS's "duress PIN" during a border search. We also hit Media Candy with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Silo, Blade Runner 2099 and Neuromancer, celebrate Dave Bittner's birthday, marvel at Jason's ever-growing Boneyard of dead websites, and somehow end up discussing thermal cameras, piano repair, and old-man bladder supplements. Because that's what happens when Gen X gets older - we just add more tabs instead of closing the old ones.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.StoryBlocks - For a limited time, they're offering 15% off any annual plan at storyblocks.com/gogPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Can lightsabers work like mood rings for your soul? Matthew Fox and Erin McGowan get listeners ready for "Star Wars: Visions Presents - The Ninth Jedi," the new eight episode series expanding two existing Visions shorts about a girl named Kara, her captured father, and lightsabers that change color depending on who's holding them. They break down both shorts scene by scene, plus read written thoughts from absent co-host Alex Kormann.Erin makes the case that these lightsabers track a person's pull toward the dark side almost in real time, while Matthew connects the droid Teto's advice about admitting failure to Yoda's line from "The Last Jedi." They also debate how much a story needs to fit official canon to still feel like real Star Wars, and end with a theory about who else from the galaxy's past might turn up a thousand years later.Full show notes and resources**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Holly Frey and Bryan Young were invited to the press roundtable for the Star Wars Visions series The Ninth Jedi and were able to speak with Supervising Director Kenji Kamiyama, Director Shunsuke Tada, and Producer Hitoshi Ito about the new show. The conversation remained spoiler-free for those wanting to hold out for the show coming out in early August.
Episode 152: John Goodson (Part 1) John Goodson is a model maker and digital artist who spent more than three decades at ILM. His credits span The Rocketeer, Star Trek: First Contact, the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Rogue One, and most recently The Mandalorian and Grogu. In this first of two episodes, I talk to John about his lifelong obsession with spacecraft and model-making, how he got to ILM, what the model shop was like at its peak, and the craft philosophy that has defined his career. In this episode:Growing up obsessed with Lost in Space, Star Log, and the making-of books that shaped his ambitionsWriting letters to ILM at age 14 — and getting politely told to stopHow a childhood friendship and a homemade recreation of the Battle of Hoth eventually led to his first visit to ILMThe advice that sent him back to finish school — and why it was the right callGetting hired for one week on Body Wars and spending the first three days hiding in the model shop hoping nobody would noticeWhat the ILM model shop culture was like at its peak, and what he absorbed from Bill George, Lorne Peterson, Larry Tan, and the rest of that teamThe 18-foot Titanic model for Ghostbusters II and learning to just start buildingThe 33-foot Hindenburg for The Rocketeer — eight months of construction, a night shoot at a decommissioned Air Force base, kerosene running out of the holes, and a cherry picker at 25 feetThe pasta trick, pancake syrup, and other unexpected materials that found their way into ILM shotsWatching the digital wave arrive and feeling like parts of the machine were being taken awayThe transition to digital model-making and eventually finding his footing with MariWhat it felt like to return to physical model-making for The Mandalorian — and what was hardest about working without the model shop around himThe mechanical language of spacecraft: why weathering works, what Star Crash got wrong, and the disposable camera exercise that taught a kit-bash class to see the real world differentlyHow the Razor Crest started as a 3D-printed assembly that couldn't survive construction — and what he did about itPart two is coming soon...This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

The Mandalorian and Grogu home video digital release happened this week so we're going under-the-hood to check out the bonus features and analyze highlights about bringing Embo, The Amanin, and the Droid Gotra to life. Looking ahead to Star Wars: Starfighter, we listen to highlights from a recent interview with screenwriter Jonathan Tropper. Convention season is here so we preview the major Star Wars happenings going down at Rebel Scum Con and San Diego Comic Con.

Not to mention the fact that our prediction about the return of Star Wars Detours just came true! Later they dive deep into The Mandalorian And Grogu, discussing its use of every production tool in the toolbox, and how it compares visually to other Star Wars films. Plus, where does the MandoVerse go from here? How does the movie's less-than-stellar box office affect things? And can Star Wars just be "fine"? Tune in for all that and so much more!

Jim Hill and Dan Graney examine the Avengers: Doomsday poster everyone may have looked at wrong, including a nearly hidden Loki positioned at the center of the multiverse and a newly powered-up Thor. They also discuss Marvel Comics leaving New York for Burbank, Kevin Feige's apparent Spider-Man: Brand New Day spoiler, and the increasingly wild X-Men casting rumors ahead of San Diego Comic-Con. Plus, Dan challenges the online narrative surrounding Supergirl and explains why theatrical box office may no longer tell the whole story. HIGHLIGHTS • Marvel Comics prepares to leave New York City after nearly 90 years and relocate its publishing operation to Burbank. • Stephen Wacker takes over as Marvel editor-in-chief while C.B. Cebulski shifts his focus to manga and Asian publishing projects. • Loki may be hiding in plain sight at the exact center of the Avengers: Doomsday ensemble poster. • Thor's orange lightning could signal the arrival of the Odinforce and the MCU's most powerful version of the character yet. • Andy Park's final major Marvel Studios artwork carries an unexpectedly poignant Endgame connection. • Kevin Feige may have revealed Yelena Belova's surprise appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. • X-Men casting rumors intensify ahead of Marvel Studios' Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con. • Vision Quest gets an October release date, Élodie Yung returns as Elektra, and Nova reportedly evolves from a series into a feature film. • Supergirl, The Mandalorian and Grogu, and Masters of the Universe raise bigger questions about online negativity, streaming strategy, and how studios now measure success.
