Tonight's Triple Feature is a director spotlight on Michael Mann, a filmmaker who has built his career around professionals under pressure and the costs of living by codes.We begin with Ferrari (2023) — a film Mann spent decades trying to make. Starring Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari, the movie takes place in the summer of 1957, when Ferrari's company was facing bankruptcy, his marriage was crumbling, and the infamous Mille Miglia race loomed large. It's not just a biopic but a portrait of obsession: the relentless drive to build something lasting, even as personal and public tragedies pile up.From there we move to Heat (1995), Mann's defining crime epic. Al Pacino plays Vincent Hanna, an LAPD detective, while Robert De Niro plays Neil McCauley, a career thief. Both men are at the top of their respective crafts, and both are consumed by their work to the point of personal ruin. The film's legacy is monumental—praised for its authenticity, its attention to detail in portraying criminal life, and of course, the first face-to-face meeting of Pacino and De Niro on screen.Finally, we close with Collateral (2004), a lean, modern thriller shot largely on digital cameras when that technology was still new. Tom Cruise plays Vincent, a contract killer who hires Jamie Foxx's cab driver, Max, to ferry him around Los Angeles during a night of assassinations. It's a film about chance encounters, moral choices, and the ways ordinary lives are disrupted by the professional ruthlessness of others.Together, these films illustrate Mann's enduring obsessions: characters defined by their craft, stories where professionalism is both armor and curse, and worlds where the pursuit of excellence isolates people from human connection. Whether it's a race car mogul, a master thief, or a contract killer, Michael Mann's protagonists live—and often die—by the codes they set for themselves.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Welcome, everyone, to tonight's episode. We're diving into A Simple Favor and its sequel Another Simple Favor — two stylish, twisty thrillers that sit at the intersection of dark comedy, mystery, and melodrama. But behind the glamour and plot turns lies an interesting story of studio strategy, financial risk, and evolving distribution models.Let's start with the original. A Simple Favor (2018) is directed by Paul Feig, from a screenplay by Jessica Sharzer, and stars Anna Kendrick as Stephanie and Blake Lively as Emily. The film is based on the 2017 novel by Darcey Bell. Its budget was modest — around 20 million dollars — and it went on to gross nearly 98 million worldwide. Critics generally responded well, with a Metacritic score in the high 60s and audiences giving it a CinemaScore of B+. Rotten Tomatoes praised it as “twisty, twisted, and above all simply fun.” Part of the allure is the tone: it plays like a “mommy noir” — elegant, sharp, with sharply drawn characters and unpredictable turns. It was a strong showing for a midtier studio film, and helped cement A Simple Favor as a cult favorite in the thriller and women-driven mystery niche.Fast forward to 2025, and we have Another Simple Favor. This sequel is not based on a book — unlike the original, it's an original screenplay by Jessica Sharzer and Laeta Kalogridis. The production is a co-venture: Lionsgate still participates, but distribution shifted. Another Simple Favor was released on Amazon Prime Video rather than in theaters, with Amazon MGM handling distribution. Filming took place in 2024, in locations like Capri and the Villa Adriana in Italy. Critically, the sequel has earned mixed reviews. Some praise Lively's magnetic presence, gorgeous costumes, and the ambition of the story's escalation. But others argue it feels overstuffed, that pacing sags in parts, and that it lacks some of the tightness or novelty of the first film. One reviewer summed it up: “It works better when its characters are just allowed to be marvelous instead of mysterious.” It also premiered at SXSW in March 2025 before its streaming release on May 1. The fact that its home is Prime Video, rather than a theatrical run, signals some of the shifting business realities behind studio films — especially for sequels that may carry higher risk.These two films provide an ideal case study in how creative ambition, risk, and studio strategy collide. The first film was a midbudget gamble that paid off. The second gives us lessons in modern distribution, content partnerships, and the pressures on midsize studios to share risk or cede control with streaming giants.Tonight, we're going to compare the narratives, the characters, the successes and stumbles — but also look behind the curtain: how studios like Lionsgate are navigating a volatile business environment, why a sequel would skip theaters, and whether the shift in approach gives Another Simple Favor an edge or a handicap.So grab your martini, or mocktail — let's get into A Simple Favor and Another Simple Favor.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Tonight on Triple Feature, we peel back more than just plot—this episode explores how each film was built, the bold choices behind them, and what makes them tick both on screen and in the cutting room.First, Sinners, the ambitious 2025 hybrid of Southern Gothic horror, musical, and supernatural thriller from Ryan Coogler. Coogler not only directed but wrote and produced, putting this deeply personal project through his Proximity Media banner. It was rumored to have sparked a fierce studio bidding war early on. The film was shot over spring and summer 2024 on location in Louisiana, and it pushed technical boundaries by being shot on 65 mm film—including IMAX 15-perf and Ultra Panavision 70 formats—allowing Coogler and cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw to shift between widescreen and immersive aspect ratios. Coogler also consulted real-life twins to help Michael B. Jordan ground his dual roles—Smoke and Stack—with distinct emotional and physical nuances. The production even reused costumes originally designed for Blade after that project shifted direction, thanks to designer Ruth E. Carter.Sinners is more than a genre film: it's built with weight, history, and intention, demanding you think about racially charged myth, redemption, and community as much as it scares you.Next up is Drop, directed by Christopher Landon and co-written by Jillian Jacobs & Chris Roach. On paper, it's a taut thriller: a widowed mother on her first date in years suddenly receives chilling anonymous messages via “DigiDrop” threatening the lives of her son and sister unless she follows orders—including committing murder. But behind that premise, the film draws from a real-life anxiety: the idea of unexpected AirDrops in public spaces. Production began in Ireland in April 2024, and the movie's contained setting (almost entirely within a restaurant and tied intimately to a digital device) turned constraint into tension. The director even explained that the final act's identity reveal and pivot underwent dramatic changes deep into post-production. The villain behind “Let's Play” commands the narrative with digital terror—a modern twist on classic “phone call from nowhere” horror tactics.Lastly, Echo Valley brings us out of the city and into Pennsylvania farmland, where Julianne Moore plays a horse trainer whose life becomes entwined with the state of her daughter, played by Sydney Sweeney. The screenplay, penned by Brad Ingelsby, layers in addiction, familial secrets, and the quiet violence that festers in isolated communities. Moore anchors the emotional ground, imbuing her character with both grief and steely resolve, while Sweeney provides the restless, volatile counterpart. The tension in Echo Valley often breathes through landscape and silence—what's not said becomes as dangerous as what is. The film has been praised for allowing Moore and Sweeney to take the emotional reins and carry scenes with minimal exposition, trusting the actors and the visuals to convey the weight.Three films. Three different modes of storytelling: Sinners with its genre-bending ambition and technical daring; Drop with its high-concept, digital-age suspense and careful spatial design; Echo Valley with its character-driven brood and sense of place. All three ask us to lean in—not just watch, but feel the mechanics behind them. Strap in.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Tonight on The IndySiders, we're taking a closer look at WWE Wrestlepalooza — the Premium Live Event that aired last Saturday on ESPN — and then shifting gears for our indie spotlight on Beyond Wrestling's Americanrana.Wrestlepalooza marked WWE's first major show on the ESPN platform, held at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar opened the card, with Lesnar dominating in a ruthless return. In tag action, Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed — The Vision — took down the reunited Usos, with guest ref LA Knight playing a role in the outcome. Stephanie Vaquer edged out Iyo SKY to capture the Women's World Title, while AJ Lee made her long-awaited return, teaming with CM Punk to defeat Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch in a mixed tag. The night closed with Cody Rhodes retaining the Undisputed WWE Championship over Drew McIntyre, though the match drew criticism for being short and feeling more like a TV main event than a PLE closer.Critical reception was mixed. Some fans praised the historic ESPN debut and Vaquer's title win, while others saw the card as underwhelming, with only a few standout moments.So, was Wrestlepalooza the triumphant ESPN debut WWE hoped for — or a misstep in execution? We'll unpack that in tonight's review. Then we'll contrast it with Americanrana, where indie wrestling thrives on long-term storytelling, rising stars, and match-driven narratives.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

It feels like deja vu has hit all over again, with Microsoft announcing yet another price increase on Xbox consoles. Is it really all about macroeconomic conditions? Should we be concerned about what the next-gen Xbox console will actually become? Do Sean and Marc have concerns that there could even be one at this rate? And why haven't Microsoft revealed the price of the ROG Xbox handhelds yet, with less than a month to go now before they go on sale? At least there's some positive news about Xbox Game Pass for once, maybe? On the Sony side of things, Tencent has fired back that Horizon devs at one point expressed concerns about the game being very similar to another gaming series. Are they right? Or is Tencent just grasping at straws? How hyped or not hyped are we for Ghost of Yotei as we inch ever closer to its release? And will we ever get that Bloodborne remake? Plus, an instant reaction to the first trailer to Palworld Devs new game, Palfarm. Borderlands has sold well despite all the performance controversy. Sean gives his thoughts on the Six One Indie Showcase, Marc has been playing the Assassin's Creed Shadows DLC, is he excited about more RPG mechanics in a potential AC Black Flag Remake? What are Marc's Metal Gear games he'd like to see remade? All this and more on this edition of Video Games 2 the MAX.

Paradise Lost formed in Halifax, England, back in 1988, and from the start they carved out a reputation as pioneers of the death-doom sound. Their second record, Gothic, released in 1991, reshaped heavy music by weaving melody, keyboards, and gothic atmosphere into the slower, heavier framework of doom metal. That album set the stage for an entire subgenre, and over the next three decades Paradise Lost would keep evolving—sometimes experimenting with electronic elements, sometimes returning to pure heaviness, but always circling around the same dark, melancholy gravity. Their mid-nineties high point, albums like Draconian Times, showed how their knack for blending soaring melody with bleak subject matter could reach both critics and a wider audience. Through lineup changes and shifts in the metal scene, the core of Nick Holmes, Gregor Mackintosh, Aaron Aedy, and Steve Edmondson has stayed intact, giving the band remarkable stability over nearly forty years. With more than two million albums sold worldwide, their influence runs deep across doom, gothic, and extreme metal.That long history sets the stage for Ascension, the band's seventeenth studio album, released September 19th, 2025, on Nuclear Blast Records. It's their first collection of new material since Obsidian in 2020, making this the longest wait between original albums in their career. The release also marks a turning point, as it is the final record with drummer Guido Montanarini, who departed earlier in the year. Produced by guitarist Gregor Mackintosh and mixed and mastered by Lawrence Mackrory, the album was recorded at Black Planet Studios in Yorkshire and in Swedish studios for drums and vocals. The cover art is The Court of Death by George Frederic Watts, a Victorian painting steeped in allegory, perfectly in line with the album's themes of mortality and despair.Ascension offers ten tracks, beginning with “Serpent on the Cross” and including “Tyrants Serenade,” “Lay a Wreath Upon the World,” and the lead single “Silence Like the Grave.” It balances crushing riffs and dense atmospheres with gothic grandeur, delivering what Paradise Lost have always done best. Critics across the board have praised the record. Tuonela Magazine called it one of the strongest in their catalogue, while Angry Metal Guy highlighted the consistency and lack of weak songs, even if “Sirens” didn't land as powerfully as the rest. GhostCult singled out Nick Holmes' performance and the sheer force of the rhythm section. Most agree the band hasn't reinvented themselves here, but instead delivered a refined, cohesive statement of what Paradise Lost represent in 2025.The significance of Ascension is that it feels less like a radical new chapter and more like a powerful reaffirmation. After almost four decades, Paradise Lost remain vital. They don't need to chase trends or reinvent themselves; they simply have to continue walking the path they created in the first place. With Ascension, they prove they're still doing it with conviction, consistency, and the same bleak sense of grandeur that has kept their music resonant for so long.Videoshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M1yG0qmT0QAt The Gates - Blinded by FearCooperhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpxFUo7oxWMPowerwolf - We Drink Your BloodMikhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvuCvGUpFpARoyal Republic - Stayin' Alive (Official Video)Jesse Starcherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17lFxyH4YE0Fra Diavlo - Every Irish Song EverMarkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1_kMRiyt5wPARADISE LOST - Tyrants SerenadeDisclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Tonight's Triple Feature brings together three wildly different but thematically connected films: Happy Gilmore 2, Heads of State, and The Thursday Murder Club. Netflix leads with Happy Gilmore 2, directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya) and marking Adam Sandler's return to his most iconic role in a sequel that blends nostalgia with heart. Amazon Prime counters with Heads of State, an action-comedy from Ilya Naishuller (Nobody) starring John Cena and Idris Elba as unlikely political partners, mixing campaign satire with explosive buddy-movie energy. Rounding things out is Netflix's adaptation of Richard Osman's bestseller The Thursday Murder Club, helmed by Chris Columbus and headlined by Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, and Ben Kingsley in what looks to be the start of a cozy-crime franchise. Critics call Happy Gilmore 2 a fun if uneven revival, Heads of State a brash but entertaining streaming-era crowd-pleaser, and The Thursday Murder Club charming and faithful, if leisurely paced. Together, these films explore the comedy and drama of second chances and reinvention—whether it's Sandler's aging golfer taking another swing, Cena and Elba finding common ground in chaos, or a group of retirees proving that friendship and wit never go out of style.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Nintendo surprised with an announcement of a 60-minute Nintendo Direct that happened on Friday, and boy did they have some things to announce, including the title of the next Mario Movie being Super Mario Galaxy, a new Fire Emblem game, the release date for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and a heck of a lot more. Sean and Marc discuss their favorite things from the Big Direct. Was it Fire? Or was it a bit of a smokescreen? Also, Nintendo was awarded a patent in the United States for summoning a monster to battle for you and there's concern this could lead to more patenting of concepts in gaming, but will this be something Nintendo actually uses against other game developers to prevent their games from releasing? Plus, Sean played the demo of Digimon Story: Time Stranger and beat Mafia: The Old Country, Marc is stuck on farming sims, Wolverine could release in 2026, a new report from Newzoo suggests that there's an optimal time to release from early access, and more on this edition of Video Games 2 the MAX!

We present our reviews of Nimona the comic and the movie!Nimona is a science fantasy graphic novel by American cartoonist ND Stevenson. The story follows the title character, a shapeshifter who joins the disgraced knight Ballister Blackheart in his plans to destroy the over-controlling Institute. Blackheart's intent to operate under his code of ethics contrasts with Nimona's natural impulsivity.Stevenson began working on Nimona while attending the Maryland Institute College of Art, revisiting a character he had created in high school. Stevenson published Nimona as a webcomic from 2012 through 2014, initially through Tumblr, developing the story and the art style as time progressed. The finished work ultimately doubled as his senior thesis. After an agent reached out to Stevenson, HarperCollins released Nimona in print form in 2015. It has been translated into at least 16 other languages and adapted into an audiobook.Nimona's accolades include an Eisner Award, a Cybils Award, and a Cartoonist Studio Prize. Reviews and academic analyses have highlighted themes of queerness and fluidity of identity and how they oppose and subvert traditional controlling institutions and exclusionary systems.Nimona is a 2023 American animated science fantasy action-adventure film directed by Nick Bruno and Troy Quane from a screenplay by Robert L. Baird and Lloyd Taylor, based on the 2015 graphic novel of the same name by ND Stevenson. Set in a medieval-futuristic kingdom, the film features the voices of Chloë Grace Moretz as the eponymous shapeshifting character and Riz Ahmed as her boss and former knight Ballister, with Eugene Lee Yang and Frances Conroy voicing supporting roles.Originally a production of Blue Sky Studios, it was set to be directed by Patrick Osborne, with an initial release date of 2020. Following the Walt Disney Company's acquisition of 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Blue Sky, it was delayed multiple times before being canceled due to Blue Sky's closure in April 2021. However, Annapurna Pictures revived the project the following year, with Bruno and Quane announced as directors, DNEG Animation providing animation, and Netflix acquiring worldwide distribution. Christophe Beck was hired to compose the film's rock-inspired score.Nimona had its world premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 14, 2023, was released in select cinemas on June 23, and made its streaming debut on June 30. The film received critical acclaim and was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Critics' Choice, Annie Awards and Academy Awards.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Steel Magnolias is a 1989 American comedy drama film directed by Herbert Ross and starring Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis, and Julia Roberts. The screenplay by Robert Harling is based on his 1987 play of the same name about the bond a group of women share in a small-town Southern community, and how they cope with the death of one of their own. The supporting cast features Tom Skerritt, Dylan McDermott, Kevin J. O'Connor, and Sam Shepard. Harling based the story in part on his sister, Susan Harling Robinson, who died in 1985 of complications from type 1 diabetes. In the film, Roberts plays Shelby, the character based on Susan.The film was released on November 15, 1989, and received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the humor and performances but criticized its portrayal of the South. Roberts, Field and MacLaine earned nominations for their performances; Roberts (who won Best Supporting Actress) and Field at the 47th Golden Globe Awards and MacLaine at the 44th British Academy Film Awards. At the 62nd Academy Awards, Roberts earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actress (her career-first nomination)Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Tonight's triple feature is about bodies turned into currency — fought over, driven to the edge, and sculpted into impossible ideals.We open with Queen of the Ring — Ash Avildsen's new biopic of Mildred Burke, starring Emily Bett Rickards. Burke wasn't just a wrestler, she was the first million-dollar female athlete, the longest-reigning women's world champion, and a single mother who forced her way into a sport that didn't want her. Rickards trained with real wrestlers like Kamille and Toni Storm to capture not just the bumps and holds, but the physical revolution Burke embodied. It's a film about blood, sweat, and every ounce of will it takes to demand equality through violence in the ring.From there, we slide into Joseph Kosinski's F1 — a story of speed, ego, and mortality. If Burke's ring was four ropes, Mann's arena is the racetrack, where every corner can kill you and every victory requires putting body and machine in perfect sync. It's about men who turn themselves into missiles, knowing one wrong turn means fire and death.We close with Magazine Dreams — Jonathan Majors' portrait of a bodybuilder dissolving under the weight of his own ambition. His body is a weapon, his physique his calling card, but the more he sculpts himself into perfection, the further he drifts from humanity. It's a movie about the cost of being seen — and what happens when recognition never comes.Taken together, these films form a grim but riveting arc: the wrestler, the racer, the bodybuilder. Three people who make their bodies into tickets — to fame, to survival, to love — only to discover the price is higher than they ever imagined.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

After years of waiting and anticipation building for its ultimate release, Hollow Knight Silksong is FINALLY out, and Sean has played at least the first few areas. How is this game for newcomers to the series? Does it make it easy to get into the flow of things? And how long does it take to get difficult? (Not very long). Once again, Xbox Game Pass is under fire this time from former Xbox executives who are concerned about its effects on first-party developers and what it means for returns for the actual game makers compared to what they would receive in the traditional model, where gamers would buy the games instead. Is this the true killer of gaming? Or is it actually something else that gets brought up less (Free-to-Play Games, maybe? Also, Marc has more on WWE 2K25, MachineGames says the New Wolfenstein is meant to be a trilogy, Nintendo wins yet another lawsuit against Emulation, Ubisoft brings a unique perspective to the Game Keycard debate, PlayStation 6 is getting a detachable drive at launch, Life is Strange is getting a TV series, and much more!You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/OCT1cBvn6AMLinks: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/sp/video-games-industry-revenue-growth-visual-capitalist/

Tonight's Triple Feature takes us across three very different animated landscapes: Predator: Killer of Killers, The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, and Love Me. At first glance, they don't seem to belong together—sci-fi bloodsport, dark fantasy folklore, and surreal romance. But when you strip them down, they share a common pulse.Each film uses animation not just as a style but as a weapon. Predator turns combat into operatic spectacle, the Witcher refracts violence through moral ambiguity, and Love Me translates intimacy into something jagged and strange. They're all asking the same question: how do you capture the extremes of human experience when realism isn't enough?These stories lean on mythology and the superhuman—hunters, monsters, and lovers blown up into archetypes. And they all circle around alienation. The Predator is literally alien, Geralt is permanently the outsider, and Love Me lingers on the alienation baked into desire itself. What unites them is the uncanny, the surreal, the sense that the only way to tell the truth about violence and intimacy is to exaggerate it until it breaks.So that's the throughline tonight: three animated visions that turn estrangement, myth, and brutality into something bigger than life—and maybe, because of that, closer to the truth.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Tonight we celebrate the career of Terry Gilliam!What happens when the animator from Monty Python decides to direct movies? You get Terry Gilliam — an American who somehow made the most British films imaginable.Gilliam's fingerprints are all over Monty Python's Flying Circus — those cut-out animations, the grotesque faces, the surreal leaps between worlds. And when he moved into directing, he carried that style with him: cluttered sets, exaggerated characters, satire of authority, and a constant blur between dream and reality.You see it evolve across three films. Time Bandits — childhood fantasy meets biting satire, a boy escaping his consumer-obsessed parents to loot history with dwarves. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen — a sprawling tale of impossible adventures, about how imagination itself becomes resistance in a world closing in. And Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas — Hunter S. Thompson's American nightmare, filtered through Gilliam's absurd, grotesque lens, with Johnny Depp mumbling like a Monty Python character for two straight hours.Gilliam's films are infamous for their production disasters — blown budgets, lawsuits, near career-enders. But that's exactly why he matters. In an age of safe blockbusters, Gilliam shows what happens when you chase imagination at any cost. His movies are messy, personal, and unforgettable.Terry Gilliam isn't just a filmmaker. He's the warning and the inspiration — proof that cinema can still be wild.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Apologies for being a day late, as the Labor Day holiday delayed the episode. But at least there's plenty to discuss on this episode, mainly PlayStation, as a leak has surfaced from the reliable Moore's Law is Dead, stating that the PlayStation 6 Portable could be available at the launch of the console and will be presented as its own unique SKU, and not tied to the console like the PS Portal. Is this forward-thinking by Sony? Or could this become another Series S-type situation? Sean and Marc discuss it all. Also, does the departure of the Fairgames Creative Director count as catching failure early or late in the process? Hermen Hulst gave an interview discussing the failure of Concord and how they want to avoid that at all costs in the future. Plus, Marc has finished Donkey Kong Bananza, Sean keeps moseying along in Mafia: The Old Country, Xbox also has its own news with a Call of Duty movie in the works at Paramount, layoff fears at Candy Crush maker King, and Take-Two almost saved Perfect Dark, Nintendo being weirdly selective with Switch 2 Devkits, and a lot more on this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX!You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/OCT1cBvn6AM

Born in 1984 from the demented minds at Troma Entertainment, The Toxic Avenger was part parody superhero, part splatter comedy, and all gross-out rebellion. What began as a cheap exploitation gag — a mop-wielding mutant janitor fighting crime in Tromaville — somehow spawned three sequels, a Saturday morning cartoon, comic books, action figures, and now, decades later, a big-budget remake.Across four films — The Toxic Avenger (1984), Part II and Part III in 1989, and Citizen Toxie in 2000 — we'll trace how this franchise evolved from grindhouse trash to meta-satire, all while swimming in buckets of slime, gore, and politically incorrect humor.These aren't polished Hollywood blockbusters. They're outrageous, juvenile, and often disgusting — but they've endured because they tap into something deeper: our culture's weird love affair with the gross, the transgressive, and the so-bad-it's-good.Tonight on Long Road to Ruin, it's time to talk cult cinema, Troma style — this is the rise, fall, and mutation of The Toxic Avenger.”Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Tonight on Triple Feature we are doing a director focus on Joel Schumacher. We are reviewing The Lost Boys, Falling Down and 8mm!Most people only remember Joel Schumacher for Batman & Robin. Neon lights, Bat-nipples, toy commercials. He did what Warner Bros. told him to do, and he got crucified for it. But if you actually look at his career, Schumacher wasn't a hack. He was a stylist with something to say—especially about male power.Take The Lost Boys. It looks like a teenage power fantasy—motorcycles, leather jackets, eternal youth. But it's really about the seduction of that brotherhood, and how it traps you.Then Falling Down. A middle-aged man, angry at the world, trying to take back control. It feels like vigilante wish-fulfillment, but Schumacher shows it as a breakdown. Male power here isn't noble—it's pathetic and dangerous.And finally 8MM. The darkest version: power as voyeurism, where wealthy men turn suffering into a commodity. No fantasy, no cool factor—just exploitation laid bare.Put together, these three films form Schumacher's real trilogy. They're about how men chase power, how it seduces them, and how it destroys them. And that's a far richer legacy than just being the guy who put nipples on the Batsuit.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

We present our review of Babymetal - Metal Forth and more!Babymetal's Metal Forth, released August 8th, 2025, on Capitol Records. It's officially their fourth canonical album — they set The Other One aside as a concept project — and it's the first full record to feature Momometal as a permanent member alongside Su-metal and Moametal.The title is a play on words: “Metal Forth” as in moving forward, and “Metal Forth” as in pushing beyond the genre itself. And that's exactly what they try to do. This record is built almost entirely on collaborations. Only three of the ten tracks are just Babymetal. Everywhere else you've got guests: Poppy, Spiritbox, Polyphia, Electric Callboy, Slaughter to Prevail, Bloodywood, even Tom Morello dropping in with that unmistakable guitar attack.Clocking in at just over 35 minutes, it's lean, polished, and loud. You get flashes of nu-metal, deathcore, alt-metal, even EDM crossover, all stitched together by Babymetal's trademark pop-metal energy. It's maximalist by design — a chaos of styles colliding with choreography and gloss.Critics were split but mostly positive. Clash called it “unrelentingly maximalist” and gave it a 7 out of 10. Blabbermouth went higher with an 8, praising it as their snappiest record to date. Kerrang! and Dork both landed at 4 out of 5, while NME and Sputnikmusic were less impressed, arguing that some collabs drowned out the band's core identity. Louder Sound described it as “a high-stakes experiment in what heavy music could become if it stopped worrying about authenticity and genre loyalty.”And that's the big takeaway: Metal Forth isn't about purity, it's about possibility. Babymetal has always been divisive, but here they lean into that division as a statement. The album says metal can be pop, it can be global, it can be hybridized beyond recognition — and still be metal.

Tonight we conclude our monthly look back at The West Wing by reviewing Season 7.The seventh and final season of the American political drama television series The West Wing aired in the United States on NBC from September 25, 2005, to May 14, 2006, and consisted of 22 episodes. The series changed time slots from Wednesdays at 9:00 pm to Sundays at 8:00 pm, and the series struggled in its new time slot against ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and CBS's Cold Case.The seventh and final season principally follows Santos and Vinick on the campaign trail, while also addressing the aftermath of the space shuttle leak investigation. The Bartlet administration's last year in office is featured, but not prominently. Toby admits to leaking the story about a military spacecraft and President Bartlet is forced to fire him. Later, Toby refuses to name his recently deceased brother as the source of the classified information, despite being urged to by his ex-wife, his lawyer and a federal prosecutor, as he feels it would be wrong to dishonor his brother's memory. C.J.'s tenure as Chief of Staff becomes more stressful as she deals with the war between Russia and China over Kazakhstan. The presidential race tightens up when Vinick's lead is dampened by an accident at a nuclear plant he had championed. Leo suffers a heart attack and dies on the night of the election, reflecting the death of actor John Spencer. Santos wins the election, and the last few episodes show the final days of the Bartlet administration and Santos' transition. In the series finale, Santos is sworn in as president.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

The beginning of a new month brings with it a sense of excitement about what lies ahead, while also putting the previous month's issues in the rear view. However, for Nintendo, there's one thing that seemingly will not go away, and that's the controversy regarding Game Key Cards. Physical game collectors like Marc are not happy about the half-measure that allows third-party publishers to save money, while somewhat providing a physical version of the game. Sean wonders if it really is as big a deal as everyone's making it out to be. Also, the duo also discusses the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, which seemingly lit a fire under the issue, as well as bringing another one about the lack of Switch 2 devkits too. Sean also played two demos from that direct the Adventures of Elliot and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, along with Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, while Marc finally got to check out Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.Plus, more Xbox games are coming to PlayStation amid good news regarding Xbox Game Pass and improvements for Xbox's content and services department. Nintendo keeps selling Switch 2's, but why are the prices of Switch 1 SKUs going up? Warner Bros is doing ANOTHER live service game, Battlefield 6 is getting an open beta, and BioShock 4 is in development hell, too.

In a week full of news, there are standouts from each of the big three. A job listing includes Sony, multiplatform, and both Xbox and Nintendo? What's this all about, and does it really mean Sony is going to join Microsoft in bringing more of its games to more places? Or is this really just an extension of the live service initiative? Sean and Marc discuss the possibilities and do PlayStation fans need to get ready for the console wars to truly be meaningless? On the Xbox side of things, a major about-face comes as a surprise as the push towards $80 games is no more, at least for the time being, with the announcement that Outerworlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, and the rest of Xbox's holiday slate will go back to being $70. Will this spur a big batch of preorders for these games? Or should Microsoft have stuck to the original plan? Nintendo also got a major sales data boon as the Nintendo Switch 2 sold 1.6 million in the United States alone. Mario Kart World also performed super well, and even third-party titles like Deltarune, Cyberpunk 2077, and Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma had standout numbers. Not to mention, the Pokémon Presents had some interesting reveals for what's out now and what's to come in the future. Plus, Sean has spent even more time with Donkey Kong Bananza, Sony sues Tencent over copying the Horizon series, the Elden Ring franchise just keeps making bank, Final Fantasy Tactics is actually a remake for an interesting reason, a Star Wars Outlaws sequel got canceled, and much more!

Welcome to tonight's Triple Feature, where we're diving deep into three searing portraits of adolescent collapse: Bad Boys (1983), The Basketball Diaries (1995), and Over the Edge (1979). These films don't just shock or provoke—they document. They document a particular strain of American decay that metastasized during the twenty-year stretch from 1959 to 1979—a period when the traditional family structure, once upheld as a Cold War ideal, began to fracture under economic pressure, suburban disillusionment, and institutional mistrust. This wasn't a clean break. It was a slow corrosion. The result? A generation of young men left untethered—adrift in a world that could neither protect them nor punish them fast enough to matter.We begin with Over the Edge, a 1979 cult classic that captured the disaffected spirit of middle-class youth like few films ever have. Set in a prefabricated suburb designed more for investment than living, the kids here are not impoverished—but they are neglected. Their world is one of false promises and fenced-in futures. There are no fathers, not really—just overworked salesmen and checked-out authority figures. The emotional distance is palpable. This is what happens when you build communities as holding pens, not homes. The result is explosive. These teens aren't rebelling against strict parents or moral codes—they're lashing out at an emotional void.Next, we jump to The Basketball Diaries—a harrowing look at addiction and alienation set against the backdrop of 1990s New York but rooted in a true story from the ‘60s. Jim Carroll's descent into heroin addiction is often read as a personal tragedy, but in context, it's emblematic of something larger: the erosion of protective adult guidance and the seductive power of oblivion when reality offers nothing back. His mother, present but overwhelmed, is powerless to stop the spiral. Authority comes too late and in the wrong form. There's no community here, only institutions—and institutions don't love you. They process you. In many ways, this film picks up the thread left dangling by Over the Edge: What happens when the fallout of that suburban collapse reaches the inner city and there's no illusion of a future left?Finally, Bad Boys—a film that doesn't blink. Released in 1983, it thrusts us into the juvenile detention system and strips away every layer of protection we pretend still exists for troubled youth. Sean Penn's character is a product of pure hardening. There's no fantasy, no poetry, no redemption arc—only survival. The family here is nonfunctional to the point of irrelevance. The state is a gladiator pit. Violence isn't dramatic—it's pragmatic. What Bad Boys does so brutally well is force us to confront what happens when boys become men too early, too alone, and too angry.What ties these three films together is not just their focus on troubled youth, but their implicit accusation: We made them this way. Through neglect, economic expediency, and the slow abandonment of any consistent moral or emotional scaffolding, American society left millions of young people to fend for themselves. These aren't just stories of crime or rebellion. They're stories of abandonment. And that's why they matter—especially in 2025. Because while the details have changed, the pattern remains. We live in a world where young men are still falling through the cracks—only now the cracks are digital, pharmacological, or ideological.Watching these films today isn't about nostalgia. It's about recognition. It's about asking how many more generations we can afford to lose before we start reckoning with the systems that keep producing them. So let's talk about it.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
