    Come da tradizione, in questa puntata di fine anno si riavvolge il nastro per un viaggio nel tempo, alla riscoperta delle uscite più interessanti del 2025, da recuperare se ve le siete persi! Tra le proposte divisive dell'anno c'è la serie tv "M. Il figlio del secolo" proposta da Sky, mentre tra i titoli più apprezzati non possono mancare "It, Welcome to Derry" su Sky e "Pluribus", interessante proposta recente di Apple Tv. Se pur partita tra le polemiche, ha fatto presa sul pubblico la serie medical-drama "The Pitt" di Sky. Non si possono non citare alcuni successi Disney come "The Bear", "Daredevil: Rinascita" o la miniserie Netflix "Adolescence", rivelatasi uno dei casi di maggior successo dell'anno. Tra gli altri top di gamma del 2025: la serie Apple "The Studio", il giallo alla Casa Bianca "The Resident" e la miniserie in otto episodi "Black Rabbit" su Netflix, per non parlare dell'immancabile "Stranger Things", che proprio in questi giorni si sta avvicinando al finale conclusivo. Anche "The Last of Us" è sicuramente tra le proposte più amate dell'anno, mentre tra le proposte di Prime Video citiamo "Sorelle sbagliate (The Better Sisters)". Spostando l'attenzione al mondo del cinema, escludendo i film in sala in questo periodo, andando indietro nei mesi i successi maggiori sono stati il romantico "Follemente", l'horror "The Conjuring - Il rito finale", il volutamente fastidioso film di Angelo Duro "Io sono la fine del mondo" e tanti altri…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    This holiday week episode of the Epic Universal Podcast was recorded on Christmas Eve, which means Jim and Eric are juggling last minute shopping, customer service horror stories, and a surprisingly full slate of Universal news. From attractions closing sooner than expected to permits hinting at big changes in Islands of Adventure, this show looks both at what is ending and what might be coming next. They also zoom way out, from Epic Universe's nighttime ambitions to the possibility of Universal's next global park landing in a very hot climate. NEWS • The Horror Make-Up Show at Universal Studios Florida is officially closing January 4, with speculation swirling about what kind of reimagined experience might replace it. • New permits tied to Intamin suggest real movement in the Lost Continent area at Islands of Adventure, fueling renewed talk of a possible Legend of Zelda attraction. • Universal files trademarks for Celestial Goodnight, pointing strongly toward a nighttime spectacular at Epic Universe. • Ongoing guest surveys hint that a FanFest-style separately ticketed event could be headed to Universal Orlando, featuring IPs like Lord of the Rings, Pokémon, Godzilla, and K-Pop Demon Hunters. • Universal is reviewing bids for a long-term transportation system connecting Epic Universe with the original Universal Orlando campus. FEATURE • A Wall Street Journal report revives talk of a Universal Studios park in Saudi Arabia, likely financed by the Saudi government through a licensing deal. • How this potential project echoes past international ventures like Dubailand, including what went wrong and what Universal may have learned. • Why indoor, climate-controlled parks are the only viable model for the region and how this mirrors Disney's recent Middle East strategy. • What all of this says about Universal's future, from regional parks like Universal Kids Resort to massive international expansions.

    On this special Christmas holiday episode of the podcast, Chauncey DeVega reflects on this very surreal and challenging year and tries to find some mirth, merriment, positive energy and joy to refill his (and our) hope tanks. Chauncey taps into the joy of childhood nostalgia and a longing for a simpler time as he looks through store catalogues from the 1980s in search of his favorite Transformers and G.I. Joe toys, and then calculates how much they would cost in today's dollars. Chauncey soon realizes he likely would have been the parent telling the kids, "Hell no!" Disney, the WWE, and other entertainment companies have announced that they will be using AI programs to "assist" in their creative process. In the spirit of embracing the future, Chauncey DeVega asks an AI to write a Christmas-themed crossover mega-event movie featuring Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, James Gunn's version of Superman, Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman, and Krampus. The results are "troubling" for what they suggest about the present and future of mass media in the 21st century and beyond.   This year's Christmas and holiday season are a painful reminder that the collapse of American democracy in the Age of Trump is also an extreme moral crisis, touching almost every aspect of American society and life. To that point, Chauncey shares a recent news story about how ICE has enlisted "Santa Claus" — equipped with a red bulletproof vest and handcuffs — to assist in its mass deportation campaign.    WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

    [School of Movies 2025] It has been ten years since Disney relaunched Star Wars in the cinema, delivering what felt like a special globally-unifying grand, historical event... that a bunch of Star wars fans complained felt too much like the 1977 original special globally-unifying grand, historical event. J.J. Abrams has proved over the years that he is far better at restarting big, exciting new worlds off with a bang (as he did with Mission Impossible and Star Trek before this) rather than somehow closing them out with anything approaching that same level of satisfaction (as with Lost and The Rise of Skywalker). But after all these years with all the Star Wars movies and TV and books and comics and video games that have played out since then, is The Force Awakens STILL my unlikely favourite of the whole series that has been with me since my life began in 1980? Yes. Put simply, this film transcends its own oversimplifications to become a joyful celebration of Star Wars, retreading many previous paths with a heartfelt energy the world badly needs again. And in this revisit show, Sharon and I talk about what has changed since we first recorded nearly four hours on it at the end of 2015 along with multiple guests at the opening of the gates to new adventure. That show can be found here, and since we also revisited the third film in the Sequel Trilogy back in 2024 after a serious re-edit allowed me to make peace, that leaves The Last Jedi for some point in the near future.

    Puntata a cura di Jacopo Bulgarini d'Elci e Livio Pacella.A dispetto del proprio titolo, Modern Family è una sitcom sostanzialmente reazionaria, e quindi perfetta per l'intrattenimento natalizio. Perché nei 250 episodi delle sue 11 stagioni, in onda con enorme successo tra il 2009 e il 2020 (oggi su Disney+), la messa in scena della famiglia che costruisce non ha il coraggio, o l'anticonformismo, o neppure la “modernità” che il titolo sembra promettere. Intendiamoci: è uno show fatto benissimo, spesso divertente, che nella sua corsa ha raccolto ben 22 Emmy e che si può guardare con piacere. Ma resta un piacere dopolavoristico, superficiale, impalpabile - il canto del cigno di un'idea di famiglia che nella realtà non esiste più. “Nuovi classici”: il podcast a due voci di Mondoserie su show che diventano fenomeni immediati.Leggi il nostro approfondimento su Modern Family: https://www.mondoserie.it/modern-family/Parte del progetto: https://www.mondoserie.it/  Iscriviti al podcast sulla tua piattaforma preferita o su: https://www.spreaker.com/show/mondoserie-podcast  Collegati a MONDOSERIE sui social:https://www.facebook.com/mondoserie https://www.instagram.com/mondoserie.it/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwXpMjWOcPbFwdit0QJNnXQ  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mondoserie/

Daniel dives into vaporware's inspirations and it's ongoing influence on his albums, work with the Safdie brothers (GOOD TIME, UNCUT GEMS, Showtime's THE CURSE and A24's MARTY SUPREME), and music producing career with The Weeknd.Plus, Timothee Chalamet's visit to his studio drinking a Red Stripe — and we ask Daniel if he can confirm or deny that Chalamet may have a secret music career as Liverpool rap artist EsDeeKid.

    A little Christmas magic meets marathon grit. We open with holiday cheer, community thanks, and a few playful ideas—from telethons to extra-big meetup cookies—before diving into a rewind that still gives us goosebumps: the Walt Disney World Marathon story of first-time marathoner and champion, Stephanie Muscat.Stephanie's path started in the pool. Years of swimming turned into tentative laps on an indoor track, then into local 5Ks and half marathons that built confidence. She explains why runDisney hooked her—the DJs at 3 a.m., the pre-start electricity, and the promise of sprinting past Spaceship Earth—and why Disney was the perfect stage for a marathon debut. On race day she kept the goal simple: a smart run around three hours. The early lead surprised her, Main Street USA brought tears, and a bike lead quietly guided the way. At mile 19, rain poured at Blizzard Beach, second place loomed a few minutes behind, and Stephanie turned the weather into fuel. By the time she entered EPCOT, the possibility became a pulse, then a certainty: tape up, arms high, a finish line she won't forget.We also share practical updates for runners prepping for Marathon Weekend, Princess, and Springtime Surprise—training checkpoints, ADR reminders, and big news from runDisney: Dopey Challenge merchandise access limited to registered Dopey runners on day one, with verification and item limits. Our Disney Springs meetup is set, free, and cookie-powered, with a flag raffle and a group photo at 3:30 p.m. The race report packs in festive wins from across the country: PRs and age-group podiums, costumes and community, and a subzero grind that ended in hot chocolate.Whether you're chasing a BQ, jumping into your first 5K, or just here for the Main Street chills, you'll leave fired up with clear tips, real talk, and a reminder that if you make it to the start, you're already winning.

    What do technical renderings of plant cells in trees have to do with Disney's animated opus Fantasia? Quite a bit, as it turns out: such emergent scientific models and ideas about nature were an important inspiration for Disney's groundbreaking animated realism. In Drawn to Nature: American Animation in the Age of Science (University of Minnesota Press, 2025), Dr. Colin Williamson presents a vivid portrait of how developments in biology, physics, and geology between 1900 and the long 1960s influenced not just Disney but the American cartoon industry as a whole. Drawing on original research on the scientific appetites of animators and studios such as Winsor McCay, the Fleischer Brothers, Walt Disney, and United Productions of America, Dr. Williamson opens new avenues for understanding the history and aesthetics of cartoons. Interrogating the differences between art and science and reconsidering the realms of dream, magic, and fantasy as they pertain to pop culture, he yields novel proposals for bridging longstanding divides between animation, live-action cinema, and the history of science. Drawn to Nature not only illuminates the extent to which animators have drawn on scientific insights, it also considers seriously how commercial animations themselves participate in scientific discourse. It revises and revitalizes our existing narratives about the history of American animation to uncover the many ways science informs our collective cultural imagination. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
