THE SHAZAMILY JOINS THE DCEU!! Shazam! Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects With Superman & the DCU soaring at the Global Boxoffice + Peacemaker Season 2 on the horizon, Andrew & Tara RETURN to their DCEU Marathon giving their Shazam! Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review!! Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson react to the electrifying 2018 DC Extended Universe film Shazam!, directed by David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation). A refreshing blend of superhero action and heartfelt comedy, Shazam! follows 14-year-old Billy Batson (Asher Angel – Andi Mack, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series), a foster kid who is granted the ability to transform into an adult superhero (Zachary Levi – Chuck, Tangled) by the ancient wizard Shazam (Djimon Hounsou – Gladiator, Guardians of the Galaxy). With the help of his foster brother Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer – It, Luca), Billy must learn to harness his newfound powers while navigating teenage life in a grown-up's body. The film's main villain, Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, is played by Mark Strong (Kingsman, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), a man corrupted by the Seven Deadly Sins and bent on stealing Shazam's powers. As Billy embraces his heroic destiny, he discovers the importance of family and teamwork, especially when his foster siblings—played by Grace Caroline Curry, Meagan Good, Michelle Borth, Ross Butler, Adam Brody, and D.J. Cotrona—transform into a team of adult superheroes in one of the film's most crowd-pleasing, highly searched moments: the Shazam Family reveal. Packed with hilarious training montages, heartfelt family dynamics, and high-stakes action—especially the final battle at a winter carnival—Shazam! stands out as one of the most joyful entries in the DCEU.

THAT BRAIN DINNER SCENE!! Hannibal Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order Now that they've seen The Silence of the Lambs, Roxy & Andrew RETURN for the sequel to give their Hannibal Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Full Movie Spoiler Review!! Roxy Striar & Andrew Gordon sink their teeth into Hannibal (2001), the intense horror thriller and sequel to The Silence of the Lambs, directed by Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Alien) and based on the novel by Thomas Harris. Anthony Hopkins reprises his Oscar-winning role as the brilliant yet monstrous Dr. Hannibal Lecter, while Julianne Moore (Boogie Nights, Still Alice) steps into the shoes of FBI Agent Clarice Starling, now hardened and disgraced after a botched drug raid. The story picks up a decade after Lecter's escape, as Clarice is drawn back into his orbit when a disfigured, vengeful billionaire named Mason Verger—played hauntingly by Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy)—plots to lure and kill Lecter as revenge for a past encounter. Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, Narc) appears as Justice Department official Paul Krendler, whose grotesque fate in one of the film's most infamous and highly searched scenes—the brain dinner sequence—remains a shocking highlight. Set across Florence, Italy, and the U.S., the film explores dark themes of obsession, power, and retribution, backed by a haunting score from Hans Zimmer and lush, eerie cinematography. With its stylish violence, operatic tone, and controversial finale, Hannibal pushed the boundaries of the franchise and left audiences divided and disturbed. Roxy & Andrew dive into its most iconic moments, character dynamics, and legacy as one of the most polarizing sequels in horror history.

Our goal is to give you the information you need to see if watching BLACK BAG is worth your time and money. Listen to find out what they think. BLACK BAG is a spy movie, not an action movie.

The cast is excellent with Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett, Tom Burke, Marisa Abela, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris, and Pierce Brosnan. Some of the topics we discuss include in this review are: · How this is a different type of spy movie · The Cast and their roles · What movies may have influenced some of the scenes? · The direction, cinematography, and production design · What sets looked best · Our favorite scenes (while not spoiling anything) · The pacing of the movie · And More … We've also included some comments from other people who watched this movie when we did.

The screenwriter Peter Straughan has become adept at taking well known — and beloved — books and adapting them for the big and small screens. He was first nominated for an Oscar for his screenplay of the 2011 film “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” based on the classic John le Carré spy novel, and then adapted Hilary Mantel's “Wolf Hall” trilogy into an award-winning season of television, with an adaptation of the third novel coming out soon. Now he has been nominated for a second Oscar: for his screenplay for “Conclave,” based on Robert Harris's political thriller set in the secret world of a papal election.“It's almost like mosaic work,” Straughan tells Gilbert Cruz, the editor of The New York Times Book Review, about adapting books. “You have all these pieces; sometimes they're going to be laid out in a very similar order to the book, sometimes a completely different order. Sometimes you're going to deconstruct and rebuild completely.”In the third episode of our special series devoted to Oscar-nominated films adapted from books, Cruz talks with Straughan about his process of translating a book to the screen, and about the moments in ‘‘Conclave” that he found most exciting to adapt.Produced by Tina Antolini and Alex BarronEdited by Wendy DorrEngineered by Daniel RamirezOriginal Music by Elisheba IttoopHosted by Gilbert Cruz Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

Today, we're heading in our proverbial Popemobile to Rome, with the BAFTA Award-winning writer of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Men Who Stare At Goats and more. Peter Straughan's latest film, Conclave, directed by Edward Berger, is essentially Succession at the Vatican – a masterful, muted thriller about the election of a new head of the Roman Catholic Church.

Surrounded by powerful religious leaders in the halls of the Vatican, he soon uncovers a trail of deep secrets that could shake the very foundation of the Roman Catholic Church. There are more twists and turns in this film than the ruthless Cardinal Tedesco could shake a vape pen at – and in the spoiler conversation, we get to the bottom of each and every one of them, including the shocking revelation at Conclave's conclusion – an ending that Peter says is both radical and at its core, deeply Christian.Get ready to discover how the writer's own background as a lapsed Catholic helped guide his writing process. Discover whether or not Donald Trump and Joe Biden served as inspirations for certain members of this warring clergy. And find out what's really happening as bombs explode outside the Vatican's walls – a plot thread that we as an audience, sequestered with these cardinals, never quite see the full truth of.

‘David at his worst was a liar but John le Carré at his best was a truth teller.' These were the intriguing words with which his biographer Adam Sisman concluded the conversation when he joined the Slightly Foxed Podcast team at the kitchen table to discuss the life and work of the writer who was born David Cornwell but who is better known to the world as John le Carré. Graham Greene, whom le Carré greatly admired, once said that ‘an unhappy childhood is an asset for a writer', and this young David had in spades. He was only 5 when he and his older brother were abandoned by their mother, to be brought up by their father, a domineering, larger-than-life conman, wife-beater and sexual tyrant, whose overwhelming personality would haunt David for the rest of his life and was the inspiration for his novel A Perfect Spy. These ‘hugless' childhood years, as David called them, were ones of stark contrasts. At one moment the family would be living like princes, the next bailiffs were in the house and their father might even be in jail. The boys were taught early on to lie convincingly in order to bail their father out, so the scene was set for the kind of double life that David would later lead when he worked for the secret service, and for the shadowy worlds of violence and betrayal that he created in his novels. It also produced a man who sought out danger, both in doing his meticulous research, and in his multiple affairs with women, a subject Adam explored in a second biography, The Secret Life of John Le Carré, published after le Carré's death. Adam speaks fascinatingly about his often tense relationship with this complex, brilliant and seductively charming man whose great Cold War novels such as The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, with their brilliant dialogue and scene-setting and their unforgettable central character George Smiley, are felt by many to far transcend the genre of spy fiction. To finish, there's the usual round-up of reading recommendations including a personal and passionate account of Putin's Russia through the eyes of a BBC journalist, Goodbye to Russia by Sarah Rainsford, and A Voyage around the Queen by Craig Brown, an exceptionally researched and hilarious biography of sorts of our late Queen Elizabeth II.

One question lingered for them both: When did George Smiley discover who the mole was?"Your opinion of George Smiley will change if you read THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD, because there his morality is laid bare. His duality, or his willingness to sacrifice innocence, is more laid bare." - Melanie HillRELATED STORY NERD EPISODESThe Dry (Season 9, Episode 2) For information about Valerie's upcoming webinars, visit: www.valeriefrancis.ca/webinarsFor access to writing templates and worksheets, and more than 70 hours of training (all for free), subscribe to Valerie's Inner Circle: www.valeriefrancis.ca/innercircleTo learn to read like a writer, visit Melanie's website: www.melaniehill.com.auFollow Valerie on X, Instagram and Threads @valerie_francisFollow Melanie on X, Instagram and Facebook @MelanieHillAuthor
SERIES 2 EPISODE 128: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: I think this fraudulent FBI 'whistleblower' who was arrested after confessing to making up the Hunter Biden story - Alexander Smirnov - the one who admitted the story was being spread by people connected to Russian intelligence? I think he's flipping. I think there is one thin reed of evidence supporting what I admit is a hunch. Maybe a second one. More importantly, maybe, I think this man David Weiss who was - until Smirnov's story collapsed - the Special Counsel PROSECUTING Hunter Biden, has also flipped, and now intends to prosecute everybody who turned him into a Russian stooge, two steps removed. And I think he and Smirnov are going to take down at least the scum on the lower levels of the Russian Ring in this country (more likely the Russian operatives themselves, maybe James Comer, but just possibly running up the ladder to Jordan and Sean Hannity and, please God, Trump). But we're going to need a new Special Prosecutor to round all of the big names up. And a Senate Judiciary investigation on how this sack of crap was turned into the prosecution of the president's son, and the attempted impeachment of the sitting president. In an election year. At the direction of Vladimir Putin. We've been invaded again. And the Russians didn't need to shoot or bomb their way in here. Because all the Comers and Greenes and Jordans and Grassleys and Hannitys and Trumps just opened the doors for them. And may they burn in hell for doing so. Because I think Smirnov is flipping. B-Block (26:25) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Republicans select a California banker as their Wisconsin Senate candidate who's so non-Wisconsinian that in his introductory commercial he never SAYS which state he's running in. Jon Stewart is going to bothsides us into prison camps - and how DARE he attack Mary Trump. And how dare a Biden National Security Council spokesperson blame the betrayal of Ukraine on CONGRESS. It is the REPUBLICANS who did this. You are paid to say the truth - do your damn job. C-Block (33:25) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I've played this before. I needed the laugh again.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 87: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Dictator-On-Day-One Trump continues to measure the windows for the new curtains in his White House, and I don't know if that has been PROCESSED on the fascist side or if we have properly done so on the, you know, Non-Dictatorship Side but it is increasingly obvious that Trump is increasingly confident that he will seize power next year. That is the ONLY possible explanation for what he has now done: leaking, to the gullible and willing stenographers from Axios Mike Allen and Jim Vandehei for publication yesterday, a set of choices for his administration that would make Jair Bolsonaro blush: Vice President Tucker Carlson, Chief of Staff Steve Bannon, CIA Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Stephen Miller, or Attorney General Mike Davis, or Attorney General J.D. Vance, Secretary of Defense Tom Cotton, Secretary of Denial Kari Lake, Secretaries-of-to-be-announced Kristi Noem, Byron Donalds, Johnny McEntee, and of course Secretary of Lecterns Sarah Huckabee. We will never fully now, not even after the autopsy, what PRECISELY is wrong with Trump's brain but it seems clear that whatever it is one of its symptoms is that he must convince himself that he IS winning, WILL win, will ALWAYS win. Jack Smith is right and he IS a serial election denier but it's deeper than that: at his advanced age and with his advanced diseases, if he ever believed he was defeated, he would die – figuratively or maybe literally. So the greatest relief he could possibly have would be to believe, 334 days before it happens, that he has already won the 2024 election and that is how he is behaving and I'm not sure WHAT to do with that but it HAS to make him sloppy and vulnerable and better minds than ours can problem figure out which soft spot on his head to PUSH. What VALUE is there in saying “here's Tucker Carlson: psychopathic white supremacist whose career stability makes Keith Olbermann's look like that of Bob Cratchit – I'm going to put him in government. Along with Kari Lake, whose highest elected office was weekend weather-girl in Rock Island.” It's the kind of things you do NOT to rally your base and NOT to scare your opponents but because you really can't STOP yourself from doing them, and suddenly you are more convinced than ever than you can get away with them. And if that isn't a motto for the entire Trump Nazi Party I don't know what is. PLUS: Matt Gaetz is about to get Robespierred, J.D. Vance wants to get a head start on prosecutor writers. And competing January 6 Truthers fight it out over whose bullshit is true. (17:35) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: MAGA Congresswoman McClain makes a fool of herself but not as much as would-be MAGA Congressman Philip Sean Grillo does. The NFL coach who really doesn't have to "hand it to" the 9/11 plotters. Poor Nick Fuentes and Vivek Ramaswamy pushing white supremacy without realizing that if the Trumpers run out of brown immigrants, the next people they'll purge will be... Fuentes and Ramaswamy.

At the end of the show a question from Gerry Mulvenna. Recommendations: David: The Pigeon Tunnel - Apple TV Academy Award-winning documentarian Errol Morris pulls back the curtain on the storied life and career of former British spy David Cornwell — better known as John le Carré, author of such classic espionage novels as The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Constant Gardener. Set against the turbulent backdrop of the Cold War leading into present day, the film spans six decades as le Carré delivers his final and most candid interview, punctuated with rare archival footage and dramatized vignettes. "The Pigeon Tunnel" is a deeply human and engaging exploration of le Carré's extraordinary journey and the paper-thin membrane between fact and fiction. https://www.apple.com/uk/tv-pr/originals/the-pigeon-tunnel/ The Pigeon Tunnel: Stories from My Life (Paperback) https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-pigeon-tunnel/john-le-carre/9780241976890 Stuart: The Boat Story - BBC Two strangers. One boat. Nothing to lose. An unexpected discovery could mean a second chance - or a bloody end. Dark comic thriller with Paterson Joseph and Daisy Haggard. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p0glbknc/boat-story Eamonn: Lockerbie - Sky LOCKERBIE, a new mini-series that will be based on the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 and the search for justice by Dr Jim Swire and his wife Jane who lost their beloved daughter, Flora, in the air disaster in 1988. The five-part series will be written by Academy Award nominees Jim Sheridan (In The Name of The Father, My Left Foot) and Kirsten Sheridan (In America, Dollhouse). All 259 passengers and crew were killed when the bomb exploded over Lockerbie 38 minutes after take-off, with a further 11 residents losing their life as the plane came down over the quiet, Scottish town. Thirteen years later, in 2001, Libyan national Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of the crime and later released on compassionate grounds in 2009. Shortly after the Lockerbie bombing, one of the worst terrorist attacks in history, some families of the victims joined together to launch a campaign for truth and justice. Among them was Dr Jim Swire whose campaign has taken him to the sand dunes of Libya to meet face-to-face with Colonel Gaddafi, to 10 Downing Street to meet with successive Prime Ministers and to the corridors of power in the US where he worked with the American victims' groups to mount pressure on Washington for tighter airport security, well before 9/11. The moving series will explore events from 1988 to the present day, while providing an intimate account of a man, a husband, and a father who pushes his marriage, his health, and his sanity to the edge. https://www.sky.com/watch/title/series/8a3430f6-066b-3397-abec-1d72b380ed90

In 1963, a British spy writing under the pen name John le Carré published a novel that shot to the top of best-seller lists worldwide. After the success of “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold,” le Carré became known as the king of the modern spy thriller, and his gritty, political books helped define the genre until his death, in 2020. On this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz dive deep into the le Carré œuvre, delighting in the “glorious confusion” of works like “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” “The Constant Gardener,” and “A Perfect Spy.” They also discuss le Carré's life in light of two retrospectives out this month: “The Pigeon Tunnel,” an Errol Morris documentary on Apple TV+; and “The Secret Life of John le Carré,” an addendum to Adam Sisman's definitive biography that exposes decades of affairs in which the novelist ran women like agents. With these details as a jumping-off point, the hosts explore the themes of intimacy and romance across the spy genre, including the Martini-soaked romps of Ian Fleming's James Bond and the FX show “The Americans,” where romance functions as a metaphor for spycraft. “One question I'm asking is, Why are sex and love so much part of the archetype of the spy?” Schwartz says. “When you're pretending and playing at being so many different things, love is usually one place where the truth must out.” New episodes drop every Thursday.

We are concluding our Graham Greene series with an obscure spy drama from director Otto Preminger, the 1979 film "The Human Factor." It is of a piece with "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" and to that point, Jamelle and John spend this episode discussing the connections between the two works and the similarities (and differences) between how Le Carre and Greene view betrayal and deception."The Human Factor" is pretty good — Preminger was a master — so we both recommend that you check it out.
