Returning from a brief hiatus, we're bringing you a comprehensive roundup of the most significant entertainment news that's been shaking up the industry.The awards season delivered its verdicts with Anora claiming five prestigious Oscar wins including Best Picture, while Madam Webb took the dubious honor of Worst Picture at the Razzies. The casting world has been particularly active, with Stranger Things star Sadie Sink joining Tom Holland in Spider-Man 4, sparking intense speculation about whether she'll play Jean Grey or the "real" Mary Jane Watson. Meanwhile, the Scream franchise continues its resurrection strategy by bringing back David Arquette as Deputy Dewey Riley, joining other returning favorites in what's shaping up to be a nostalgic entry in the series.Perhaps most concerning is the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike affecting video game performers. While film and television actors reached agreements months ago, voice actors remain on picket lines fighting against potential AI abuse that threatens their livelihoods. With more than 160 games having signed interim agreements protecting performers from algorithmic exploitation, the battle continues against major companies reluctant to offer similar protections – highlighting a critical moment for creative professionals in the digital age.From Bong Joon-ho's Mickey 17 struggling at the box office to the Harry Potter HBO series assembling its impressive cast (including Pappa Essiedu as Snape), we're covering everything that matters in film, television, and gaming. Whether you're curious about Battlefield 6's promising leaked footage or wondering why GTA 5's Enhanced Edition is facing unprecedented backlash, we've got the insights you need to stay informed about the entertainment world.Subscribe, share your thoughts in the comments, and join us as we navigate the constantly evolving landscape of geek culture!Music Produced by BlackOutBeatz414: https://www.youtube.com/@BlackOutBeatz414Facebook: www.facebook.com/GeekVisionz/Twitch: www.twitch.tv/geekvizentYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GeekvisionzEnt.

I'm tired and lazy so here's the first few paragraphs of the movie from Wikipedia. Baby Geniuses is a 1999 American family comedy film directed by Bob Clark and written by Clark and Greg Michael, from a story by Clark, Steven Paul, Francisca Matos, and Robert Grasmere. It stars Kathleen Turner, Christopher Lloyd, Kim Cattrall, Peter MacNicol, and Ruby Dee. The film has the distinction of being the first full-length feature to use computer-generated imagery for the synthesis of human visual speech. 2D warping techniques were used to digitally animate the mouth viseme shapes of the babies which were originally shot with their mouths closed. The viseme shapes were sampled from syllables uttered by the babies on the set. Baby Geniuses was almost universally panned by critics, who lambasted its acting, humor, special effects, writing, and directing, but it grossed $36.5 million worldwide against a production budget of $12 million. In 2004, it was followed by a sequel, Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, which was a box office bomb, and received even worse critical reviews, receiving a nomination for Worst Picture at the 25th Golden Raspberry Awards. throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

After just doing an episode about the Oscars, the boys decided to keep things exciting and do another one immediately after. But the Oscars are half the podcast's title, so we think our hosts deserve a pass for this one. Today they take a look at some films which have recently won Best Picture at the Academy Awards or Worst Picture at the Golden Raspberry Awards, trying their best to recast the movies and flip the outcome of the awards. In other words, can Sonny and Tom take a Best Picture film and make it bad by changing the cast? And can they take a Worst Picture film and make it good the same way? The short answer is no, as the cast can only affect a film so much if you can't change everything else. So the boys quickly decide that they actually are allowed to change everything else, basically reshaping the movies entirely and rendering the episode's title inaccurate. And that should give you an idea of how much they planned for this one.Of course, Sonny and Tom begin with a round of Arnold in a Famous Role, which takes them to Cliff Robertson's 1968 win as Charly in the film "Charly," which was based on the story "Flowers For Algernon." The boys discuss if Arnold Schwarzenegger would do well in this role as an intellectually disabled person, a kind of role which pretty much died off about 20 years ago. They also take a moment to acknowledge Cliff Robertson's late-career turn as Uncle Ben in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies. In the process, they come to the realization that Uncle Ben only works if the character is old, as a youthful and spry Uncle Ben would detract from Peter Parker's nerdy ways. That's the kind of discourse you come here for.Hosted by Sonny de Nocker (@swankysonny) and Tom Price (@thomas_price22).Theme by Josh Britt (jbrittmusic.com)Instagram: AnOscarForArnoldTwitter: @AnOscar4ArnoldTikTok: AnOscarForArnoldContact: AnOscarForArnold@gmail.com

Why I'll Never Make It - An Actor’s Journey
Joe DiPietro and How Theater Has Made a Difference in His Own Life and Others

Why I'll Never Make It - An Actor’s Journey

For the past 23 years, a non-profit theater company called Only Make Believe has been creating and performing live in-person and virtual interactive theater for children in hospitals, care facilities, and special education programs. It started here in New York City but has since opened an office Washington, DC with some outreach in other cities as well. In the next episode you'll hear an encore presentation of my conversation with founder Dena Hammerstein. But for today, I'm sitting down with one of the board members and the director of their annual gala, who has known Dena and OMB since its inception. Joe DiPietro is certainly no stranger to theater and has been writing for the stage since 1991. His musicals and plays have received multiple awards and nominations on and off-Broadway, including Memphis starring Montego Glover and All Shook Up with Cheyenne Jackson. He talks about these two talented performers and shares his affection for Only Make Believe. We also get into two of his most recent Broadway shows: Diana, the Musical and Living on Love, his lone Broadway play so far (starring former WINMI guest Douglas Sills). Both shows had their own challenges coming to and surviving on Broadway. In fact, Diana filmed their stage production for Netflix during the Covid shutdown, and that movie notoriously went on to win Golden Raspberry Awards for Worst Screenplay and Worst Picture, among others. But Joe takes it all in stride and shares with us not only his passion for theater but also what has kept him going through the ups and downs. You can support Why I'll Never Make It as well through Subscriptions or Donations. 03:02 - Joe's introduction to theater 05:30 - Only Make Believe and its mission 13:58 - Montego Glover and Cheyenne Jackson 19:32 - How you can help OMB and WINMI 21:37 - Diana, the Musical 34:31 - Living on Love 45:16 - His theater writing process   Staying cooped up anywhere can be difficult for anyone, but facing the four walls of a hospital room 24/7 can be especially tough -- draining even. For more than 20 years, Only Make Believe has brought happiness to thousands of children in hospitals and care facilities in New York City and the DC area through live interactive theater. To date, approximately 95,000 children have been impacted by OMB's services, and that number continues to grow each year. Because OMB knows that “freeing a child's imagination is a valuable part of the healing process,” the organization works with a team of professional actors to provide interactive theater for sick children using nothing by a backdrop, along with a supply of props, costumes and imagination, of course. What happens next is quite magical to say the least. By the end of an OMB show, the same children who were having the worst day imaginable and didn't intend on participating are dancing, laughing and having fun. Professional actor Chris Wilson, who has since gone on to become OMB's Director of Programming & Communications, calls days like this a job well done. “Only Make Believe allows theater to become a truly immersive experience. The actors transform the space, interact with the audience, and adjust the show to the needs of each group of children,” Wilson said. “I am a firm believer that the performing arts have the ability to allow children to think and grasp concepts in a different way.” Learn more about Only Make Believe and how you can help.   The 2022 Only Make Believe Gala Join OMB as they celebrate those who inspire us with their dedication to philanthropy and raise funds to support our interactive theatre programming in hospitals, care facilities, and schools with special education programs. They have garnered so much the support for their virtual & hybrid galas over the past 2 years, and are certainly ecstatic to be BACK ON BROADWAY in person with former WINMI guests like Brad Oscar and Kathryn Allison. Only Make Believe's annual gala has earned a reputation as New York's most entertaining and unique charity event of the season! So join them if you can.

This week's show sees us discussing The Razzies, the annual award ceremony dedicated to celebrating the very worst that Hollywood has to offer. Publicist John J.B. Wilson held a reverse Oscars party at his house in 1981 in which Stanley Kubrick and Brian De Palma were nominated for Worst Director, Shelley Duvall was proposed for Worst Actress and FRIDAY THE 13TH was on the shortlist for Worst Picture which neatly sums up just how credible the awards have been since their inception. Harmless fun some may say, while others might declare the whole concept to be lazy, mean spirited and critically irrelevant, with a bought for membership who are subject to serious lapses in judgement, guilty of a nasty piling in type mentality and completely devoid of any understanding of what constitutes cinema or art. We'll discuss the award shows apparent antipathy towards Sylvester Stallone, the brave souls who turned up in person to collect their prizes and some undeserving recipients as we discuss the Top 5 Razzie Award Nominees or Winners. NOBODY is director Ilya Naishuller's action thriller variation on the classic former killer who is brought out of retirement to deal with a personal threat type plot, sharing much in common both conceptually and aesthetically with JOHN WICK, a fact compounded by the involvement of that movies screenwriter Derek Kolstad and co-director David Leitch. The film's greatest achievement is making the star of this dark and violent tale the comedy writer/ character actor Bob Odenkirk who trained for 2 years to be believable as the brutal and efficient former 'auditor' Hutch Mansell, who becomes involved with Russian gangsters when his daughter's kitty bracelet is stolen. With incredible and painful looking stunts, inventive fight choreography, a good sense of humour and a playful use of jazz and pop songs as ironic commentary this was of course a hit with all the Bad Dads though it never directly addresses the obvious criticism that could be made about it, namely that a movie about a man whose masculinity is in crisis and that rediscovers his joie de vivre through brutal violence is a bit of a disturbing theme. Poised for a sequel we probably don't need (but I would almost certainly watch), the main question is which celebrities should be toughened up and given their own action-genre classics...how about Larry David, Meryl Streep or Graham Norton? I would watch any one of those movies. MR BENN was an animated children's show which first aired on British television in 1971. He lived at Number 52 Festive Road and could nearly always be found dressed in a black suit, white shirt, black tie, and smart bowler hat, evoking proper British respectability to one and all. I say nearly always because Mr Benn's daily constitutional took him near a fancy-dress shop where, as if by magic, a shopkeeper appears offering him the chance to try on a costume and go on a fantastical adventure. Dan selected episode 2 "The Hunter" for us to watch and we were all delighted to see the subject tackled with a surprising amount of compassion for a show more than 50 years old.We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. Try us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review or on our website baddadsfilm.com. Until next time, we remain... Bad Dads

Notoriously troubled production WATERWORLD (1995) wasn't the Box Office flop it was portrayed to be upon release by a critical establishment gleefully surfing a wave of anti-Costner feeling but it's also not the misunderstood gem that revisionists positioned it as a few years later when the movie was reevaluated free from the shackles of it's initial reception.Kevin Costner is The Mariner, a mutant who roams the seas of a drowned Earth and becomes the protector of Enola (Tina Marjorino), a young girl whose tramp stamp may hold the secret to finding dry land. Denis Hopper's maniacal "The Deacon" leads the villanous Smokers from the wreck of the Exxon Valdez and is a decent foil to Costner's stock stoically dull persona though not everyone agrees with that assessment, with Hopper winning the Worst Supporting Actor award at the 1995 Razzies and the film itself being nominated for Worst Picture, Actor and Director which seems a smidge unfair, especially when you consider Michael Bay's BAD BOYS was released the same year.The stunts are all impressive and the set pieces are big and well designed albeit a bit bombastic for my personal taste but the movie is long and rambling and lacks world building, with a curiously small feel despite how impressive the sets are. Costner doesn't quite have the charisma to carry off the man with no name but with gills vibe and the acquatic mutation itself barely features in the story in any meaningful way, either plot related or thematically, so they seem a weird digression without further explanation. A mixed bag which doesn't withstand the inevitable comparisons to the superior MAD MAX franchise, but the glorious  4K UHD version currently showing on Amazon Prime makes this worth revisiting as an odd curio, and we're all unanimously in favour of this being rebooted.

For our season 1 finale, we finally tackle the movie that SHOULD have been named Worst Picture of 2021, Thunder Force. While it wasn't nominated for a single Razzie, Ben Falcone and Melissa McCarthy's latest collaborative effort is but one of a whole line of films that beg the simple question: Why? We don't just tear Thunder Force apart -- we go back through the entirety of On The Day Production's films (2014's Tammy, 2016's The Boss, 2018's Life of the Party, and 2020's Superintelligence) to show conclusively that Falcone has not learned much as a director, writer, or storyteller, and break down the bad habits he and McCarthy fall into in the process. But, really, are they ALL bad? Join us for an academic treatise comparing On The Day's work to that of Adam Sandler, the absolute worst super powers you've ever heard of, bewilderment over Octavia Spencer's utter lack of emotion, and more praise for one weird crab man than you probably needed to hear. We also take a moment to gush about how good The Batman and Everything, Everywhere, All At Once are, because we clearly needed to talk about anything other than these bad comedies for a bit.
