Tonight on Damn You Hollywood we are reviewing SoulM8te. The 2026 science fiction erotic thriller is a spin-off of M3GAN and the third installment in the franchise. Directed and co-written by Kate Dolan, the film stars Lily Sullivan, David Rysdahl and Claudia Doumit, with Jason Blum and James Wan producing under the Blumhouse and Atomic Monster banners. The story follows a grieving man who beta tests an android companion as a way of coping with the death of his wife, only for the experiment in artificial intimacy to become increasingly dangerous. SoulM8te originated from a story by Wan, Ingrid Bisu and Rafael Jordan, with Dolan rewriting Jordan's original screenplay. Filming took place in Dublin from September through November 2024. Originally scheduled for a theatrical release in early 2026, the film was pulled from Universal's calendar before eventually premiering at the Gaze International LGBT Film Festival Dublin on July 31. Universal released it straight-to-digital on August 1, 2026.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 looking at Michael, Bohemian Rhapsody and The Doors. Three movies about three of the most recognizable figures in popular music, and three very different ideas about what a musical biopic is supposed to accomplish. Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury and Jim Morrison were all transformed by fame into something larger than human beings, but Hollywood has approached their stories with very different agendas. Michael examines the construction of a global phenomenon while navigating the controversies surrounding Jackson's legacy. Bohemian Rhapsody rearranges Freddie Mercury's history into a crowd-pleasing story of estrangement, redemption and the triumph of Live Aid. Oliver Stone's The Doors goes in the opposite direction, exaggerating Jim Morrison's darkness until the mythology nearly consumes the man. We'll discuss the performances, the music, the history, what each movie changes or leaves out, and whether a music biopic owes us the truth or just a great show.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 

Another week in video games, and it feels like more of the same with XBOX introducing more backwards compatibility, this time with XBOX 360 being next in line. Along with the possibility of their own version of the platinum trophy after so many years of requests. Asha Sharma also sets out a plan of how XBOX will get back to where it needs to be by 2027 to 2028, but perhaps the most frightening thing is that hot off the heels of the release of HALO: Campaign Evolved's release, there are already layoffs at HALO Studios as the game is doing "fine" but not what you'd expect a major first-party to do for XBOX. Finally, someone from Sony responds to the controversy of deciding to end disc production in 2028 and the physical media enjoyers won't be happy with the Sony CFO's statement essentially stating that they have no other choice and they now have to figure out how to give their best with digital media as the focus. Does Marc still believe Sony will change course? Plus, Sean's been playing Beasts of Reincarnation; Dave Batista may be Kratos in the God of War TV Series, EA completes its 55 Billion sale to the Saudi PIF, Capcom reports 93% of its sales are digital. PC Motherboards and NVIDIA GPU's are going up again soon too.

Tonight on *Damn You Hollywood*, we're swinging back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe to review **Spider-Man: Brand New Day**! Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the fourth MCU Spider-Man film finally strips Peter Parker back to basics after *No Way Home*. With the world having forgotten Peter Parker, Tom Holland's wall-crawler is once again your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man—alone, anonymous, and protecting New York one street at a time. But a mysterious new threat, the arrival of Jean Grey (Sadie Sink), the Punisher, Bruce Banner, and Peter's own evolving powers threaten to upend his hard-earned fresh start. Is *Brand New Day* the grounded reset fans have been waiting for, or just another chapter in Marvel's ever-expanding machine? Join Mark Radulich and the panel as they break down the action, performances, story, comic inspirations, and whether Spider-Man's new beginning is worthy of the web-head's legacy.

Tonight on Triple Feature, we turn the spotlight on Molly Ringwald through three films that capture the rise, strain and collapse of her iconic teenage screen persona. Pretty in Pink places her at the center of a class-conscious romance, where style, poverty and social humiliation matter as much as love. The Pick-Up Artist tries to move her into adult sexuality, pairing her with Robert Downey Jr. in a strange collision of screwball courtship, gambling debt and urban menace. For Keeps? pushes her further, using teen pregnancy, marriage and economic pressure to test whether intelligence and determination are enough to survive adulthood. Across all three films, Ringwald plays young women forced to become more responsible than the men around them, often while managing absent, broken or unreliable fathers. We discuss why she became the defining female face of 1980s teen cinema, how these movies have aged, and whether Hollywood ever truly understood what made her such a compelling star.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 second of the major releases is out now everywhere on PC, XBOX, and yes, even PlayStation 5, as HALO Campaign Evolved has come out of its early access period, and both Sean and Marc have played it, so they have thoughts on whether it delivers and if this really is the definitive way to play the first HALO game. Also, XBOX has begun its backwards compatibility program to PC beginning with four original XBOX games, with promises of more to come, and it may even possibly extend to third-party games as well. There's even the promise of achievements being added to the games as well. Could we see PlayStation doing anything similar to this at all? And will this eventually extend to a large portion of the library? Plus, a blackout is being organized to continue the rebellion against PlayStation for stopping the production of physical discs in 2028. Could this be the thing that gets their attention? Alanah Pearce also has evidence that Sony knows full well there would be backlash against them and gave very strict social media guidelines to follow as well. God of War: Laufey has a release date, and 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/RYSt-2VEIDQ

Tonight on Triple Feature we are reviewing Deliverance, Dog Day Afternoon and The Deer Hunter. Three landmarks of the New Hollywood era, these films represent a time when Hollywood trusted audiences to sit with ambiguity, moral complexity, and characters who felt like real people. We discuss why Deliverance remains a brutal examination of civilization and survival, why Dog Day Afternoon may be one of the funniest and most deeply human crime dramas ever made, and why The Deer Hunter stands as one of cinema's greatest tragedies. Along the way, we explore the changing face of American filmmaking, the evolution of masculinity on screen, trauma, ritual, and why movies like these feel increasingly impossible to make today. Join us as we revisit three masterpieces from the golden age of American cinema and ask what we've gained—and lost—since.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 

Many will see it as a deflection from the bigger problem, and perhaps it is for XBOX, but the reality is, Bethesda essentially confirmed their major franchise slate for the foreseeable future. Starfield is still getting content, and Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas remasters are real; The Obsidian Fallout game is also confirmed, Fallout 5 is officially in pre-production but is still coming after Elder Scrolls VI. Does this really do anything for Sean and Marc with all these games coming at some point? Also, there's further evidence at least from the United States side of why Sony has gone this NO DISC route, and even Gamestop calls them irrelevant. Do we still believe this could be turned back? Plus, Take Two Interactive could be in the business of buying other studios, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced apparently didn't use the original code, actual XBOX devs have spoken out about Xbox Game Pass behind the scenes, EA wants in-game ads to become defacto in gaming, and 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/26pzk7CMby8Listen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

Tonight on **Damn You Hollywood**, we're reviewing Christopher Nolan's *The Odyssey* (2026), a $250 million epic action-fantasy adapting Homer's timeless tale of war, survival, and the long road home. Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, whose decade-long journey after the Trojan War pits him against monsters, gods, and his own pride as he struggles to reunite with Penelope (Anne Hathaway). The ensemble cast also features Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron. Inspired by multiple translations of the poem as well as classics like *Ran* and *Andrei Rublev*, Nolan shot the film entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras across Europe and North Africa. Released on July 17, 2026, *The Odyssey* has become both a critical and commercial triumph, continuing Nolan's run as one of Hollywood's premier blockbuster filmmakers.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

A week after the major XBOX layoffs we've had some fallout with parts of Bethesda threatening to strike, and finding out that Id software is actually still making a new DOOM game despite all of the dismissals at the studio. There's also a new Fallout game in development from Obsidian and yes, they are still making Avowed 2 for the time being too. So there's some good and bad coming from what's been a torrid few weeks for XBOX. PlayStation is also having to deal with its own fallout from their major decision to stop making discs, with petition's to prevent it from happening getting louder and PC players taking unfortunate matters into their own hands, none of this may deter Sony from turning back according to a certain Dr. Serkan Toto. Not to mention, some lawsuits that may already be in the works too. Plus, some news on the Resident Evil Requiem story DLC, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is selling well, and 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/ThfjPkC-Y-4

Tonight on Damn You Hollywood we review the live-action remake of Moana. Released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on July 10, 2026, the film adapts Disney's acclaimed 2016 animated hit and marks the first live-action entry in the franchise. Directed by Thomas Kail in his feature film debut from a screenplay by Jared Bush and Dana Ledoux Miller, the film stars Catherine Laga'aia as Moana alongside Dwayne Johnson, who reprises his role as Maui while also serving as a producer. Returning as Tamatoa is Jemaine Clement, with Rena Owen, John Tui, and Frankie Adams rounding out the cast. Disney first began exploring the remake in 2019 before officially announcing it in 2023 as part of its continued live-action strategy during the company's centennial celebration. Produced on a reported $200–250 million budget and filmed in both Hawaii and Atlanta, the project also carries personal significance for Johnson, who has described Maui and the story's Polynesian heritage as a tribute to his culture and his late grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia.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 Metal Hammer of Doom we are reviewing Tarja - *Frisson Noir*, the long-awaited return to full-fledged symphonic metal from the former Nightwish vocalist. After spending the better part of seven years exploring orchestral projects, Christmas albums, live recordings, and collaborations, Tarja returns with what she has described as the heaviest album of her solo career. Featuring guest appearances from Marko Hietala, Dani Filth, Apocalyptica, and even Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, *Frisson Noir* aims to blend crushing guitars, cinematic orchestration, and Tarja's unmistakable operatic voice into an ambitious modern metal statement. Having followed Tarja's solo career for years—from *The Shadow Self* through *From Spirits and Ghosts* and *Dark Christmas*—we revisit one of symphonic metal's most distinctive artists to find out whether this latest effort finally delivers on the promise of pairing her extraordinary vocal talents with songwriting and production worthy of them. Does *Frisson Noir* represent a triumphant return to form, or is it another beautiful performance searching for stronger material? We discuss all that and more on this edition of the Metal Hammer of Doom.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 TV Party Tonight we are reviewing K Street, Steven Soderbergh's ambitious 2003 HBO experiment that blurred the line between fiction and reality long before audiences were ready for it. Set inside a bipartisan Washington lobbying firm, K Street combines fictional characters with real political operatives, including James Carville, Mary Matalin, Howard Dean, Chuck Schumer, and dozens of other familiar faces, all reacting to the political news of the week through largely improvised dialogue. We'll discuss how Soderbergh's guerrilla filmmaking style created one of television's most unusual political dramas, why the conversations between actors and real politicians feel so radically different, and how the series has transformed from an overlooked curiosity into a fascinating time capsule of pre-social media Washington. Is K Street a failed drama, an experimental documentary, or one of the most unique political television series ever produced? Join us as we revisit one of HBO's boldest and strangest forgotten series.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 big moment has finally happened: XBOX announced its huge restructure on Monday, laying off 1,600 employees effective immediately and another 1,600 throughout fiscal year 2027. They've also divested of four studios and already started the process to possibly do the same with Arkane Studios as well. Layoffs are happening all across their studios; IPs are going with the divested studios. XBOX CEO Asha Sharma even admitted that the XBOX business is not doing well, and that's part of this too. Sean and Marc discuss it all, and will this truly RESET XBOX? Also, PlayStation is not without its bad decisions this week, as they not only are closing the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita online store, but they announced that, as of 2028, there will be NO MORE Physical Disc games made. Essentially ripping a hole into the physical vs. digital debate once and for all. But will this decision actually stick?

Tonight on Damn You Hollywood we review Minions & Monsters (2026), the latest entry in Illumination's billion-dollar franchise and the seventh film overall in the Despicable Me series. Directed by Pierre Coffin and written by Coffin and Brian Lynch, the film features the familiar Minions alongside a voice cast that includes Trey Parker, Allison Janney, Christoph Waltz, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeff Bridges, Zoey Deutch, Bobby Moynihan, and Phil LaMarr. Set in 1927—more than four decades before the events of the first Minions film—the story follows Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and the gang as they head to Old Hollywood with dreams of making their own monster movie. Since the first Minions surprised us with an unexpectedly thoughtful story about purpose, belonging, and finding something larger than oneself to serve, and The Rise of Gru shifted toward a lighter coming-of-age adventure, the question becomes whether this latest prequel recaptures the philosophical weight of the original or settles for slapstick and spectacle. We'll break down the story, animation, performances, themes, and where Minions & Monsters ranks within Illumination's remarkably successful franchise.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 Sessions, we sail back to 2022—a year when my personal life was coming apart, my creative world was under siege, and a simple review of The Northman became something much bigger. What started as a movie podcast evolved into a three-hour conversation about friendship, creativity, courage, and what happens when living communities slowly become institutions."We Were Northmen" isn't really about Vikings. It's about brotherhood. It's about the halls we build together and how they don't always fall to outside enemies. Sometimes they're hollowed out from within by fear, bureaucracy, and the relentless desire to make everything safer, quieter, and easier to control. Inspired by the speed and ferocity of melodic extreme metal and the sweeping grandeur of Nordic folk traditions, this song transforms one chapter of my podcasting history into a saga of longships, burning kingdoms, ravens, and weary warriors who remember a time when the fire burned brighter.Some stories deserve to be told as essays. Others deserve to be sung over thunderous drums with hammers in hand. Tonight, we remember who we were.We Were Northmen.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

With the rumors and reports continuing to swirl regarding the bloodletting that is due to ensue next week from Xbox, even more information has been released this week, narrowing down the studios that could be affected even further. Not only that, but now XBOX is cutting funding to projects and even Xbox Game Pass third-party deals, plus they even raised console prices AGAIN. As XBOX evaluates everything, actual employees are already reporting they are looking for work. Bad news all around for the green brand. Sony also had its share of bad news with the major Bungie layoffs and the removal of purchased digital content due to licensing agreements, and more rumors that the PlayStation 6 will be rather expensive, and apparently they still want live service stuff too. Plus, Grand Theft Auto costs $80, and the special edition is $100. Persona is getting a live-action show from Netflix, NBC Universal may get into gaming, Unreal Engine 6 is really going heavy on A.I. and more.

Supergirl is a 2026 superhero film based on the DC Comics character, directed by Craig Gillespie from a screenplay by Ana Nogueira. Produced by DC Studios' James Gunn and Peter Safran, it is the second theatrical entry in the new DC Universe (DCU). Milly Alcock stars as Kara Zor-El alongside Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, David Corenswet, and Jason Momoa. Adapted from Tom King and Bilquis Evely's acclaimed Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the film follows Kara on a galaxy-spanning quest for vengeance that ultimately forces her to confront grief, justice, and her own identity. A standalone Supergirl project had been in development during the DC Extended Universe era after Sasha Calle's debut in The Flash (2023), but Gunn and Safran rebooted the concept following their appointment as co-heads of DC Studios in 2022. Filmed in England and Scotland during early 2025, Supergirl premiered in Brooklyn on June 22, 2026, opened nationwide on June 26 as part of DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, received mixed reviews from critics, and has grossed approximately $63 million worldwide to date.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 a very much unintended week off, Sean and Marc are back discussing the latest in what's going on in gaming and a few big stories from the week before, too. Valve not only revealed the Steam Machine pricing at an incredible $1049 (USD) for the 512GB version and $1349 (USD) for the 2TB version, but there are also official reviews out there for the set-top PC, and the thoughts are all over the place. Showing some of the strain that the machine may be able to play the latest games in the AAA space, but it could be a great thing for indies. So, is this something either Sean or Marc would consider purchasing it at any point? And what about for others at large? Also, XBOX CEO Asha Sharma has now ended her own honeymoon period with XBOX players by posting another internal memo called the Next 100 Days XBOX Reset. In it is some damning state of XBOX by looking at the realities of where they are and where they need to go. Also in there are hints at layoffs with rumors of several studios being closed. Could XBOX even get a chance at resetting at all? Plus, Grand Theft Auto VI is about to be available for pre-order, the game industry is now over $200 billion, Capcom is making more Resident Evil news, Sea of Thieves is getting a movie, more studios with layoffs too sadly.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/hTx40v2pQH4Listen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

This week on Damn You Hollywood, we're heading back to the toy box one more time with Toy Story 5. Directed by Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton, the latest installment reunites Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the gang for a new adventure centered around Bonnie's growing attachment to a tablet named Lilypad. Set two years after Toy Story 4, the film explores the increasingly familiar tension between traditional play and modern technology, asking what role toys have in a world dominated by screens.Returning voice cast members Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack are joined by newcomers Greta Lee, Conan O'Brien, Craig Robinson, Shelby Rabara, Scarlett Spears, and Mykal-Michelle Harris. With Randy Newman back to compose the score and Pixar once again bringing its trademark visual polish, Toy Story 5 arrives carrying the weight of one of animation's most beloved franchises.But after the seemingly definitive endings of both Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4, does this sequel justify its existence? Is there still something meaningful left to say about identity, purpose, childhood, and growing up? Or is this another example of Disney's increasingly aggressive reliance on familiar brands and established intellectual property? Join us as we discuss the latest chapter in Pixar's flagship franchise, its themes, its place within the larger series, and whether the toys still have one more story worth telling.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 TV Party Tonight, we wrap up our retrospective on Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom with a look at Seasons 2 and 3, where the series shifts from an idealistic defense of journalism to a critique of its failures. Season 2 centers on the Genoa scandal, a disastrous report alleging the U.S. military used sarin gas in Afghanistan. Inspired by CNN's real-life Operation Tailwind controversy, the storyline explores confirmation bias, source reliability, and the dangers of reporters becoming too invested in a narrative they want to be true. We discuss whether the season's conspiracy-driven plot ultimately undermines its message and why Maggie's Africa storyline remains one of the show's most emotionally powerful arcs.Season 3 turns its attention to the Boston Marathon bombing, citizen journalism, whistleblowers, and government secrecy. As Neal Sampat becomes entangled in a Snowden-era leak and Will McAvoy faces jail rather than betray a source, The Newsroom asks whether journalistic principles can survive in an age of social media, corporate ownership, and political pressure.Join us on our journey to Memphis.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 

Steven Spielberg returns to one of the defining obsessions of his career with Disclosure Day, a science-fiction thriller inspired by modern UFO disclosure debates and decades of speculation about extraterrestrial life. Written by longtime Spielberg collaborator David Koepp from a story Spielberg reportedly carried with him for years, the film stars Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo in a story about government secrecy, hidden truths, and humanity's first official reckoning with the reality of alien contact.Released on June 12, 2026, Disclosure Day has been praised by critics for its ambition, performances, and Spielberg's trademark sense of wonder, while generating a far more divided reaction among audiences. Is the confirmation that aliens exist still the earth-shattering revelation it once was, or has popular culture spent the last eighty years preparing us for that moment? In this episode, we discuss whether Spielberg's latest film is a hopeful meditation on truth and humanity's place in the universe, or a story built around a revelation that no longer carries the dramatic weight it did in the era of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Join us as we break down the film, its themes, its cultural relevance, and whether Disclosure Day arrived at exactly the wrong moment in history.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 

This Pride Month, Damn You Hollywood examines three acclaimed queer films from very different worlds: Dallas Buyers Club (2013), Cassandro (2023), and Solo (2023). We explore how each project came together, from the long development of Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack's Oscar-winning AIDS drama, to Roger Ross Williams' adaptation of the real-life lucha libre legend Cassandro, to Sophie Dupuis' intimate Canadian drama set in Montreal's drag scene. We'll discuss the casting of Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, Gael García Bernal, Théodore Pellerin and Félix Maritaud, the directing choices that shaped each film, and how production realities influenced the stories that ultimately reached the screen.Beyond the behind-the-scenes history, we'll examine the critical and commercial reception of all three films. Why did Dallas Buyers Club become an awards-season powerhouse despite modest box office expectations? Why was Cassandro celebrated by critics yet largely bypassed by mainstream audiences? Why did Solo earn festival acclaim while remaining relatively unknown outside cinephile circles? We'll also tackle the controversies and criticisms surrounding each film, including historical accuracy, representation debates, narrative choices, and the challenges of bringing LGBTQ stories to wider audiences. Join us as we look beyond Pride Month labels and evaluate these films as works of cinema, business ventures, and cultural artifacts.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

Summer Game Showcase has officially come to a close, but at least there was one more of the big names left to show off what they were bringing for at least the summer and maybe a little further out, and that was Nintendo, which had its first major Nintendo Direct in close to 9 months. What did Sean and Marc think of the presentation, are there any games to be excited about? Was this more of a great list of games presented badly? They get into all of this, and they also give their favorite showcases and favorite games from SGF as well. Plus, Sean gives his thoughts on the He-Man Masters of the Universe movie too.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/mF9VAGuDBCEListen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

Tonight on Damn You Hollywood, we review Masters of the Universe! Based on Mattel's iconic franchise, this 2026 fantasy adventure marks the long-awaited return of He-Man to the big screen, nearly forty years after the cult-classic 1987 film. Directed by Travis Knight and starring Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He-Man, the film follows Adam's journey back to Eternia, where he must embrace his destiny, wield the Power Sword, and defend his world from the sinister Skeletor, played by Jared Leto. Featuring a cast that includes Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, Morena Baccarin, Kristen Wiig, and Idris Elba, the film blends sword-and-sorcery action, science-fiction spectacle, and classic 1980s nostalgia. After a troubled development process that bounced between studios for over a decade, Masters of the Universe finally arrives in theaters. Did Amazon MGM successfully bring Eternia to life, or should this franchise have remained in Castle Grayskull?

The other major showcase of Summer Game Fest is always the Xbox Games Showcase, and this is significant because it is the first one headed up by new XBOX CEO Asha Sharma. Sean and Marc give their reactions to the Xbox Showcase, the surprises, including the first teaser trailer for Persona 6, which will be Day One on Xbox Game Pass too. The exclusives are back as Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are both console exclusives. But why not the rest of the games along with it? Some of this is directly alluded to by Asha in her recent interview with Bloomberg, where she speaks on exclusives and the direction of XBOX, among other things.Does the future look bright for the green brand? Or is it just more of the same?

Tonight on the Long Road to Ruin, we look back at Grease and Grease 2! One of the most successful movie musicals ever made spawned one of Hollywood's most infamous sequels, and we're breaking down how it happened. We examine Grease as both a beloved coming-of-age romance and a 1970s nostalgia machine, exploring how a rough-edged stage musical evolved into a polished cinematic fantasy of 1950s adolescence. Then we shift gears into Grease 2, a sequel that kept the leather jackets, motorcycles, Pink Ladies, and T-Birds but seemingly lost the magic that made the original a cultural phenomenon. Was Grease 2 truly the disaster its reputation suggests, or was it simply misunderstood? Join us as we discuss the music, performances, production history, themes of identity and belonging, the economics of sequels, and why one film became a timeless classic while the other became a cautionary tale of franchise filmmaking. Grab your leather jacket and join us at Rydell High!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 

Marvel's Wolverine and ended with the reveal of the latest God of War title, God of War: Laufey. What did Sean and Marc think of the showcase as a whole? Was there anything else that caught their eye? Not surprising but Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 was announced and is set to release October 23. Plus, Marc has more thoughts on 007: First Light, Fable gets delayed, Sony first-party games have declined in sales, Clutch gets revealed and more. We will be having reaction shows this week for Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Showcase as well. So you'll be getting more from us as SGF season rolls along.

Tonight on TV Party Tonight, we're reviewing Season 5 of The Boys, the fifth and final chapter of Eric Kripke's satirical superhero saga based on the comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television, the season brings back Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Karen Fukuhara, Chace Crawford, Laz Alonso, and the rest of the core cast, with Daveed Diggs joining the ensemble. As Homelander tightens his grip on America and seeks the original Compound V formula that could make him effectively immortal, Billy Butcher and The Boys unite for one final mission, armed with a virus capable of wiping out every Supe on Earth. Premiering on Prime Video in April 2026 and concluding in May, the season earned generally favorable reviews for its action, performances, social commentary, humor, and emotional payoff, though some critics cited pacing issues and a lack of focus. Tonight, we'll see if the finale sticks the landing.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 

Few actors have embodied obsession, corruption, guilt, and authority quite like Harvey Keitel. In this Triple Feature actor focus, we examine three defining performances across three decades of filmmaking: The Duellists (1977), Bad Lieutenant (1992), and Cop Land (1997). From Ridley Scott's visually stunning debut feature, where Keitel plays a Napoleonic officer consumed by honor and vengeance, to Abel Ferrara's infamous portrait of addiction, moral collapse, and redemption in Bad Lieutenant, to James Mangold's examination of loyalty, corruption, and institutional decay in Cop Land, these films showcase the remarkable range and intensity that made Keitel one of the essential actors of the New Hollywood generation. Along the way, we'll discuss masculinity, power, violence, faith, police culture, and the evolution of American cinema from the 1970s through the 1990s. Join Mark Radulich and company as they explore three unforgettable films connected by one of the most compelling screen presences of the last fifty years.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 

On an unintended Wednesday evening episode, Sean and Marc discuss the big game release of the week with 007 First Light, as Marc has been playing it and has plenty of thoughts. Sean's also played a brand new indie Pokémon-like LumenTale: Memories of Trey. Should this be one to check out? Also, as we get ever closer to the summer of gaming chaos, we already know that Sony has a huge, possibly 90-minute, State of Play happening on Tuesday, June 2. The guys discuss games that could appear at the show aside from Marvel's Wolverine. There are also some other indie showcases that have already happened or are about to happen in the lead-up to Friday, June 5. Plus, Valve announces Steam Deck price increases, Xbox makes new hires and other news, Bungie finally ends development on Destiny 2 and expects layoffs, the Witcher 3 expansion is finally revealed, some news on Grand Theft Auto VI and 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/DIdEIuph1WQListen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

Tonight on Damn You Hollywood, we're reviewing Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, the first theatrical Star Wars film since The Rise of Skywalker and the cinematic continuation of the hit Disney+ series. Directed by Jon Favreau and co-written with Dave Filoni and Noah Kloor, the film follows Din Djarin and Grogu as they work with the New Republic to rescue Rotta the Hutt while uncovering new Imperial threats in the fractured post-Empire galaxy. Pedro Pascal returns alongside Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White, and Jonny Coyne, with Ludwig Göransson once again handling the score. Originally conceived as The Mandalorian Season 4 before the Hollywood strikes and Lucasfilm's pivot back toward theatrical releases, the film represents Disney's attempt to transform streaming-era Star Wars back into event cinema. Mixed critical reactions have praised Pascal and Göransson while questioning whether the series' episodic DNA fully translates to the big screen.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 Metal Hammer of Doom, Mark Radulich and Jesse Starcher review Empty Hands, the latest album from Poppy. Once dismissed as an internet-art curiosity built on surreal YouTube performance pieces and synthetic pop aesthetics, Poppy has evolved into one of the more fascinating figures in modern heavy music. Empty Hands pushes deeper into industrial metal, metalcore, glitch electronics, and emotionally raw songwriting, blending crushing riffs and breakdowns with hyper-polished hooks and digital-age anxiety. Produced by Jordan Fish (formerly of Bring Me the Horizon), the album explores identity collapse, emotional exhaustion, fame, alienation, and the cost of living inside algorithmic culture. Is this Poppy's strongest statement yet, or another example of modern genre mashups substituting style for substance? We break down the music, themes, performances, and where Empty Hands fits in the evolving landscape of contemporary metal.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 

Sessions returns to one of the strongest conversations in the Radulich in Broadcasting Network archive: the Jupiter's Legacy review with Robert Winfree. What begins as a discussion of a Netflix superhero series becomes a sharper debate about power, restraint, morality, and the terrifying question at the center of the whole thing: if people don't agree with what those in power are doing, who could stop them? The show frames that conflict through Sheldon and Walter, two men arguing over whether power should be limited by principle or used to reshape the world. From there, the conversation expands into modern anxiety about oligarchs, sealed files, private justice, public decay, and systems that no longer seem answerable to anyone. The result is “WHO COULD STOP US?”, an industrial rock track built like propaganda music for a collapsing empire: mechanical, confrontational, danceable, and paranoid in all the right ways. This is what Sessions is for—not recap, but extraction. Find the argument. Turn it into a song.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 

Forza Horizon 6 from Playground Games, one of 2026's biggest releases, is finally out for everyone to play, and it's already setting critical and financial milestones. Although Sean didn't get to play it yet, he and Marc discuss the prospects of what this game will mean for XBOX, if it will make it to the Game of the Year table, and does it actually come to PlayStation this year or not? Speaking of PlayStation, a lot of their news falls on the negative side this week with hacks on PSN, an increase to the PS Plus subscription for new subscribers, Hermen Hulst confirms no more single-player PC ports, and more bad news concerning Bungie too.

Tonight on Triple Feature, we're diving into three 2026 streaming-era genre swings: Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, Pretty Lethal, and Thrash. On paper, each one has the kind of premise that sells itself before the movie even starts: gangsters, romance, crime, and time travel; ballerinas forced into violent survival mode; and a hurricane-flooded coastal town where sharks are suddenly part of the disaster plan. But that is also the problem. These are not old-fashioned star vehicles or theatrical events. They are premise-first movies built for the thumbnail age, where the logline has to do most of the work. So the question tonight is not simply whether these movies are good or bad. It's whether the modern streaming B-movie still has personality, danger, and invention — or whether it has become a content slot wearing the skin of exploitation cinema. Are these sharp little genre machines, disposable algorithm bait, or proof that dumb fun still has a pulse? Gangsters, ballerinas, hurricane sharks — the algorithm wants blood.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

They say controversy creates cash, and by-in-large that's mostly true but sometimes it can also just create a crapstorm on the internet as well. Of course, we are talking about Mixtape the newest title from Beethoven & Dinosaur that has made waves with critics and of course it has become a haven of hatred for gamers as well. Sean and Marc discuss the "it's not a real game" issue and the whole concept of paid off reviews and if that's even a thing. Does the game really deserve this much hate? Also, Sean and Marc have both watched the Mortal Kombat II movie and they have thoughts. Is it better than the first one? They debate. Plus, Nintendo raises the price of the Nintendo Switch 2, But they also announce another remake of Star Fox 64 simply titled Star Fox. Sony weighs in on their third party relationships and A.I., Mina the Hollower gets a release date, Ebay rejects Gamestop's bid to buy them pretty decisively and 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/tU05dOlu6_8Listen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

On this episode of Damn You Hollywood, Robert Winfree, Jason Teasley and Mark Radulich review Mortal Kombat II (2026), the long-awaited sequel to the 2021 reboot based on the legendary video game franchise created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. Directed by Simon McQuoid and written by Jeremy Slater, the film brings back Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Lewis Tan, Joe Taslim and Hiroyuki Sanada, while adding Karl Urban as fan-favorite Johnny Cage alongside Adeline Rudolph as Kitana, Martyn Ford as Shao Kahn and Tati Gabrielle as Jade. This time the actual Mortal Kombat tournament takes center stage as Raiden's Earthrealm warriors battle Outworld for the fate of humanity. Does the sequel finally deliver the crowd-pleasing martial arts spectacle fans wanted, or is it just another CGI-heavy nostalgia machine? We break it all down.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 Comic Stripped we head to Antarctica to compare Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber's acclaimed indie noir graphic novel Whiteout with the 2009 film adaptation starring Kate Beckinsale. Originally published by Oni Press, Whiteout helped define the late-90s crime-comic boom with its blend of procedural mystery, environmental horror, and psychological isolation. But when Warner Bros. brought the story to theaters, the material was reshaped into a glossy late-2000s action thriller. We examine what was gained, what was lost, and why Hollywood often sands down strange, atmospheric stories into familiar formulas. From Carrie Stetko as a grounded, damaged professional to Antarctica itself functioning as a character, we break down adaptation choices, industry economics, noir storytelling, and whether Whiteout was simply ahead of its time.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 TV Party Tonight, Jesse and Mark revisit Season One of HBO's The Newsroom, Aaron Sorkin's cable news drama that premiered June 24, 2012. Starring Jeff Daniels as anchor Will McAvoy, the series follows the staff of fictional network ACN as they attempt to produce serious journalism inside a system driven by ratings, corporate pressure, and personal dysfunction. Featuring Emily Mortimer, Olivia Munn, Sam Waterston, Dev Patel, Alison Pill, John Gallagher Jr., and Thomas Sadoski, the show blends newsroom chaos with Sorkin's signature rapid-fire dialogue and moral grandstanding. Critics praised the performances—Daniels won an Emmy—and the ambition of the series, while others criticized its smug tone, hindsight politics, and lecture-heavy writing. More than a decade later, The Newsroom remains a fascinating time capsule of the early 2010s media landscape and the growing battle between journalism, entertainment, and outrage culture.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 the one-day delay, but Sean and Marc are here to discuss what's going on in the world of video games this week. PlayStation had one of their two major releases drop in Housemarque's Saros, and Sean's been playing it, and he has some thoughts. What does Sean think of the game, even though he didn't play their other title, Returnal? Should gamers who aren't fans of Roguelikes try it out? Is it a Game of the Year contender? Also, Sean has thoughts on some other games he's been playing this week, too, such as the newly released indies Motorslice, Wax Heads, and Dead as Disco, along with a game that released last week in Soul Quest as well. Marc played a lot of Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred Expansion and checked out Forbidden Solitaire. Plus, Asha Sharma does away with Copilot, Gamestop wants to buy Ebay, Sony gives an answer on the DRM check-in, and it's good news, there's an Atomfall TV Series in development, Forza Horizon 6 has gone gold, and more!

Three very different 2026 releases, one shared question: what does modern genre filmmaking actually produce anymore? Amazon's The Bluff, directed by Frank E. Flowers and produced by the Russo Brothers, was built as a global star vehicle for Priyanka Chopra—an efficient pirate revenge story designed for streaming scale. Netflix countered with War Machine, Patrick Hughes' $80M military sci-fi spectacle starring Alan Ritchson, originally intended for theaters but ultimately optimized for worldwide engagement, pulling Predator-style structure into algorithm-friendly action. And then there's Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die—Gore Verbinski's first film in nearly a decade, a long-gestating, director-driven sci-fi comedy led by Sam Rockwell, released theatrically and drawing attention as a rare original swing in a franchise-heavy market. Together, these films sparked conversation not just about content, but about process—three models of development, distribution, and authorship colliding in real time.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
