Persona is heading to live-action, and Netflix has the rights. The breakdown covers the creative team now attached, what the deal signals about Netflix's growing video game pipeline, and why Persona 5 fans should keep their expectations measured for now.

This one runs through the names that matter: Christopher Monfette as writer and showrunner, with Shawn Levy and Robert Atwood of 21 Laps producing, the same banner behind Stranger Things. From there it widens out to Netflix's track record with adaptations like The Witcher, Arcane, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and Castlevania, then lands on the bigger picture for the franchise, with Persona 6 confirmed this month and Persona 4 Revival on the way. The development is early, no cast and no story details yet, so this is the ground floor of a project worth tracking.

• 00:00 Persona Live-Action Series Announced
• 00:15 Netflix's Video Game Adaptation Track Record
• 00:31 Persona 6 and Persona 4 Revival

• Shawn Levy and Robert Atwood of 21 Laps are producing, the same company behind Stranger Things.
• The project fits a clear Netflix pattern of video game adaptations, from The Witcher to Arcane, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and Castlevania.
• Development is still very early, with no cast and no plot details announced.
• The news arrives during a busy stretch for the franchise, with Persona 6 confirmed and Persona 4 Revival on the calendar.

• "Persona five is getting that live action treatment out of Netflix."
• "Netflix has been farming those video game adaptations."
• "All those are pretty decent quality actually. Castlevania, I love Castlevania."
• "We're pretty early in development for this. We don't have that cast or anything like that."

DC Studios dropped three major animation announcements at Annecy this morning, and this episode breaks down all of them. The headliner is an Absolute Batman animated series with the comic's own creative team steering the ship, followed by Joker: Laugh Riot, an original anime that flips the Batman formula on its head, and a Krypto series that brings a much lighter, family-friendly energy to the slate. No manor, no money, all Batman, and that is just the start.

Beyond the three big reveals, this one digs into why these announcements matter for the bigger picture. With projects like Mister Miracle from Tom King already in the works, DC is treating animation as a real priority rather than a side project. The takeaway is simple: animation has become the place where these characters can be told accurately and ambitiously, the same way Invincible and X-Men '97 proved the medium can carry the most compelling superhero stories around.

• 00:00:00 DC Studios' Big Annecy Announcements
• 00:00:04 Absolute Batman Gets an Animated Series
• 00:00:29 Joker: Laugh Riot, DC's First Anime
• 00:00:57 Krypto and the SpongeBob Connection
• 00:01:17 Why Animation Is No Longer a Side Project for DC
• 00:01:32 Listener Question and Sign Off

• Absolute Batman is getting an animated series with Scott Snyder showrunning and artist Nick Dragotta producing, so the comic's creative team stays intact. No release date yet.
• The Absolute Batman comic has sold more than 6 million copies, with the first volume already on its 11th printing. This version is a working-class Bruce Wayne with no fortune, no manor, only one parent lost, and a civil engineer who builds all his own tools.
• Joker: Laugh Riot is an anime from WB Animation, DC Studios, and Japan's SOLA Entertainment, the studio behind The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, with the same director attached.
• The Joker story is original: after Batman is killed, the Joker tears through Gotham's underworld hunting the culprit, because he realizes he does not know who he is without Batman.
• The Krypto series is the furthest out and the most lighthearted, following Superman's dog as he runs with a gang of misfit criminals. C.H. Greenblatt of SpongeBob fame is developing it, so expect that playful energy.
• The bigger story is that DC is putting real weight behind animation now, with Mister Miracle from Tom King and more on the way. Following the lead of Invincible and X-Men '97, animation is where these comic-accurate stories can truly shine.

• "If you're not on the absolute train yet, get on it. It's so good."
• "He works on the city during the day, fights crime at night, and he's beefy as hell."
• "Animation is no longer a side project for these guys. They're actually putting a lot of mustard behind this."

The Magic School Bus is heading to the big screen for the first time ever, and this one is for the millennials. On this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we break down the news that Elizabeth Banks (Hunger Games, 30 Rock, The Lego Movie) is attached to star as the legendary Ms. Frizzle in a live-action adaptation. Rob Letterman, who directed Detective Pikachu, is writing the treatment and directing.

We get into why this has been a long time coming, with Legendary having held the rights since 2020 and sitting on the project for about six years. We also talk format: this will not be fully live-action but a hybrid, which likely means a CGI or animated bus, and we float whether the movie will be an origin story or just one of Ms. Frizzle's classic adventures.

From there we go nostalgic, looking back at the original 1994 to 1997 PBS series and the icon that is Lily Tomlin, and we get honest about the bigger question: do we even need a remake, or should kids just watch the originals? The answer comes down to access. These stories about friction, motors, and the digestive system still have a lot to teach, and if a new generation gets to ride along with Ms. Frizzle, that is a trip worth taking.

• 00:00 The Magic School Bus Heads to Live-Action
• 00:13 Six Years in Development at Legendary
• 00:25 Hybrid Format and What the Movie Could Be
• 00:33 Franchise History and the Lily Tomlin Legacy
• 00:42 Remake Debate: Do We Need One
• 00:55 Why Ms. Frizzle Still Matters
• 01:11 Listener Question: Your Favorite Episode

• Elizabeth Banks is attached to star as Ms. Frizzle in the first-ever live-action Magic School Bus movie.
• Rob Letterman, director of Detective Pikachu, is writing the treatment and directing.
• Legendary has held the rights since 2020, so this has been roughly six years in the making.
• The film will be a hybrid rather than fully live-action, so expect the iconic bus to be CGI or animated.
• It is still unclear whether the story will be an origin tale or a standalone Magic School Bus adventure.
• The first books arrived 40 years ago, and the beloved PBS series ran from 1994 to 1997 with Lily Tomlin voicing Ms. Frizzle.
• The remake conversation lands on access: a lot of kids today simply do not have these classic stories in front of them, and Ms. Frizzle still has plenty to teach.

• "This one's for the millennials."
• "Lily Tomlin as the voice of Miss Frizzle. What an absolute icon."
• "You don't need a remake to just have the kids watch the originals."
• "Miss Frizzle has a lot to teach."

Peacock has handed Dungeon Crawler Carl a straight-to-series order, and this one is locked in. No pilot, no waiting to see if it sticks. In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we break down the greenlight, why the project went live-action instead of animated, and the single thing author Matt Dinniman did to make sure the show would actually look good before signing off.

We also get into the San Diego Comic-Con panel that should reveal a lot more about season one, plus a quick personal check-in on the Dungeon Crawler Carl reading journey so far. If you have been following this story since the rights deal first surfaced, this is the payoff moment fans have been waiting on.

Timestamps

• 0:00 Peacock officially greenlights the Dungeon Crawler Carl series
• 0:14 The animation vs. live-action debate and Matt Dinniman's response
• 0:20 The Princess Donut CGI test that locked in the greenlight
• 0:31 The San Diego Comic-Con panel with Chris Yost and Matt Dinniman
• 0:38 Personal reading update and joining the Carl fan community

Key Takeaways

• Peacock ordered a full first season, not a pilot. The project is fully confirmed and moving forward.
• The biggest fan complaint from previous coverage was that the show should have been animated rather than live-action.
• Dinniman addressed that head on, saying he would not let the project move forward if the CGI looked bad.
• CGI work was already done on Princess Donut, the most prominent CGI character, to prove it would hold up. That test is what cleared the way for the greenlight.
• A Comic-Con panel with Chris Yost and Matt Dinniman is on the schedule, likely bringing season one details.

Memorable Quotes

"It's official. Dungeon Crawler Carl series just got greenlit over at Peacock."

"He was not going to let this project happen if the CGI looked bad."

"Matt himself is the one that said the CGI is good enough for the show to happen."

Amazon's buy two, get one free book deal is live, and this episode is a fast hit list of what is actually worth stacking in your cart. The rundown moves from page to screen picks like Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and the full Hunger Games run by Suzanne Collins, into BookTok favorites like A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, plus the nightstand pile of Fourth Wing and Red Rising that is still waiting to get read.

From there it is classics worth revisiting (The Outsiders, Holes, and The Hobbit as the perfect one chapter a night read with kids), a heartfelt nod to Born a Crime by Trevor Noah, and the latest from John Green. The comic corner gets real love this week with Absolute Batman Volume One leading DC's current renaissance and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow standing out as a personal favorite of the decade, with the movie adaptation landing soon. The whole thing builds to one top recommendation that the entire friend group is hooked on right now: Dungeon Crawler Carl, the paperbacks included in the deal, the audiobooks worth the Audible promo, and Princess Donut earning her own hand painted figurines.

• 00:00:00 Welcome and the Amazon buy three book deal
• 00:00:13 Page to screen: Project Hail Mary and The Hunger Games
• 00:00:26 BookTok picks and the growing nightstand pile
• 00:00:39 Classics worth revisiting and Born a Crime by Trevor Noah
• 00:00:57 Comic corner: Absolute Batman and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow
• 00:01:33 The number one pick: Dungeon Crawler Carl
• 00:02:10 Princess Donut, figurines, and the Audible deal
• 00:02:25 Shop local, used books, and closing thoughts

• The Amazon deal applies to full franchises, not single titles, so you can grab every Hunger Games book in one cart instead of just the first one.
• BookTok keeps delivering. A Court of Thorns and Roses, Fourth Wing, and Red Rising are the BookTok and nightstand trio worth starting with.
• The Hobbit is the standout family read, built for one chapter a night with kids.
• Absolute Batman Volume One is proof DC is in a creative renaissance right now, and the trade collections finally make it easy to follow.
• Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow carries Saga and Guardians of the Galaxy energy with artwork worth getting tattooed, and it is the source material for the upcoming movie. At seven dollars it is a steal.
• Dungeon Crawler Carl is the top recommendation of the week, with paperbacks included in the deal and an Audible three months for a dollar promo making the audiobooks an easy entry point.
• Shopping local is always the first suggestion, and Amazon's used book listings from libraries and Goodwill are a solid budget route, even if they sit outside this particular promo.

"If you're like me and TikTok will get you buying a book any day of the week, here's some TikTok gold."

"It's a renaissance in DC right now, and one of, if not my actual favorite comic books in the last decade."

"It's got Saga vibes, kind of Guardians of the Galaxy vibes. There's heart and pain in it, but also just beautiful artwork. Tattoo worthy artwork."

"It is my most highly recommended media of everything right now."

"If you told me how much I would love a little cat with a tiara on her head. I just want everything for Princess Donut."

Yeah, baby... maybe? Mike Myers stopped by Trevor Noah's podcast and lit the fuse on a question fans have been circling for years: are we getting another Austin Powers movie? In this Geek Freaks Headlines breakdown, we unpack Myers' tease, weigh whether the franchise still has a place in 2026, and dig into why the math might actually work even if the films haven't aged gracefully. With Shrek already on his comeback slate, the conversation turns into a bigger debate about nostalgia, mid-budget comedies, and which revival fans would actually welcome. (Hint: Wayne's World keeps coming up.)

Topics covered: the Mike Myers Austin Powers tease, the aging-franchise problem, the Scary Movie comedy comparison and its soft box office, the economic case for mid-budget studio comedies, and the revival fans might prefer instead.

Timestamps

• 0:00 Austin Powers Might Be Back
• 0:09 The Nostalgia Problem and an Aging Cast
• 0:21 The Scary Movie Comparison
• 0:37 The Case for Bringing It Back
• 0:52 Your Take in the Comments

Key Takeaways

• Mike Myers floated the possibility of a new Austin Powers during his Trevor Noah podcast appearance.
• The skeptic case is real: the films lean on humor that hasn't aged well, and the cast keeps getting older.
• Shrek is already returning for Myers, so an Austin Powers revival would stack onto a growing nostalgia slate.
• The new Scary Movie sits in the same tongue-in-cheek, embrace-the-silly comedy lane, but it underperformed at a reported 175 million worldwide.
• The counterargument is jobs: mid-budget comedies keep crews working and money moving through Hollywood.
• If any Myers revival lands cleanly, a new Wayne's World might be the easier sell.

Memorable Quotes

"I love nostalgia like every other millennial, but I don't know if we need this one back."

"This is one of those mid-budget movies that actually keeps Hollywood flowing, gets people employed, so why not bring it back?"

"Mike Myers, you can make something new."

The first full trailer for Shrek 5 finally arrived, and this episode breaks down everything it shows one year out from release. We cover the new footage, the storybook opening that pays homage to original author William Steig, and our best look yet at the redesigned Shrek and Donkey. The trailer takes the whole Shrek family, now with adult kids in tow, to a new and noticeably rainier corner of the map that feels less friendly than the Far Far Away fans know. The standout gag is a creepy snowman who reads a lot like a parody of Olaf, and it sets the tone for a movie that looks ready to have a lot of fun.

We run through the returning trio of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz, plus the new generation joining the cast: Zendaya as daughter Felicia, with Marcello Hernandez and Skyler Gisondo as her triplet brothers Fergus and Farkle, the same babies fans met in Shrek Forever After. There is also good news behind the camera, with franchise veterans Walt Dohrn and Conrad Vernon back in the director chairs. From there it gets personal with some millennial nostalgia, a Toys R Us Shrek 2 stocking story, and an appreciation for one of the all-time great DVD menus.

Key Takeaways

• The first full Shrek 5 trailer is here, releasing one year ahead of the June 30, 2027 launch
• It opens on a storybook that pays homage to original Shrek author William Steig
• This is the clearest look yet at the redesigned Shrek and Donkey, and the new look plays better in motion

• "They're gonna have a lot of fun with this one."
• "If you watched that first movie, how those knees feeling?"

Cap is coming home. Chris Evans appears to have confirmed what a lot of us already suspected, that Steve Rogers is suiting up again for the next chapter of the Avengers saga. The confirmation did not come from a press release or a Marvel panel. It came from a personalized anniversary video that surfaced through Instagram user Jessica Zebrowski, who goes by Comic-Con Mom, in which Evans casually mentions he starts work on the next one in a couple of months. For a return this big, it is a wonderfully low-key way to drop the news.

In this episode we break down what Evans actually said, how it lines up with the assumption that Steve Rogers survives Doomsday, and why Secret Wars is shaping up to be an Endgame-style reunion that pulls every corner of the MCU back into frame. We also get into the likely scale of his role, why the heavy lifters of Doomsday may step back for Secret Wars, and which characters, from X-Men and Deadpool to the Disney Plus crowd like Moon Knight, could be set up to carry the franchise forward.

• 0:00 Chris Evans hints at a Captain America return
• 0:23 The anniversary video and Evans confirming the next one
• 0:36 Will Steve Rogers survive Doomsday and how big is his role
• 0:55 Doomsday and Secret Wars release dates plus final thoughts

• Chris Evans signaled he is in the next Avengers film, with production starting in a couple of months.
• The reveal came through a personalized anniversary video shared by Instagram user Jessica Zebrowski, known as Comic-Con Mom.
• Steve Rogers is expected to survive Doomsday and appear in Secret Wars.
• Secret Wars looks set to be an Endgame-level reunion bringing the wider roster back together.
• Characters with major Doomsday roles may take smaller parts in Secret Wars, while future-facing names like X-Men, Deadpool, and Moon Knight could move into the spotlight.
• Avengers: Doomsday is slated for December 18th, with Secret Wars following the next year on December 17th.

"I can tell you that I start work on the next one in a couple months, so I'm in the next one."

"Secret Wars, much like Endgame, is just going to bring everybody out of the woodwork."

The Department of Justice just approved the Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery deal, and it is the biggest media story of the week. In this quick hit episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, Frank breaks down what the $111 billion sign-off actually means, which regulators are still standing in the way, and why he believes this merger is bad news for fans, creators, and the entertainment industry as a whole.

This is the largest federal hurdle the deal had to clear, and now that Washington has stepped aside, the conversation shifts to the state attorneys general and overseas regulators who could still slow it down. Frank also lays out exactly which franchises and brands would end up under the same corporate umbrella, from DC and Harry Potter to Star Trek and Top Gun, and makes the case for why all of that consolidation should worry you.

• 0:00 DOJ Approves the $111 Billion Paramount and Warner Bros Deal
• 0:16 The Studios and Franchises Being Combined
• 0:25 Why Frank Thinks This Deal Should Be Stopped
• 0:33 What Comes Next and Final Thoughts

• The DOJ has approved the Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery deal valued at $111 billion, clearing the biggest federal antitrust hurdle the merger faced.
• The fight is not over. The California AG, New York, and nearly a dozen other states are still reviewing the deal, along with regulators in the UK and EU.
• Australia cleared the deal on June 9 and Germany cleared it earlier this year, so international approvals are starting to stack up.
• The combined company would unite DC, Harry Potter, Looney Tunes, and CNN with Paramount franchises like Star Trek, Top Gun, and Mission: Impossible.
• Frank's take is that this consolidation hampers creativity and leads to job losses, making it a win for the Ellisons and wealthy investors but a bad deal for everyone else.

"The DOJ just approved the Paramount and Warner Brothers deal for $111 billion. This clears the federal antitrust hurdle."

"In my opinion, this deal has to be stopped. It will hamper creativity. It will be job losses."

"This is a big win for them. As we get more information, I'll make sure to share it."

The Transformers franchise is shifting gears again, and this episode breaks down the latest writer news and what it signals for the road ahead. Paramount and Hasbro have brought in Jason Fuchs to write a new live-action Transformers movie, and his resume reads as a mixed bag of big swings, from Wonder Woman and Welcome to Derry to Argylle and the 2015 fantasy film Pan. That hire lands at a pivotal moment, with a second live-action project already moving as a Transformers and G.I. Joe crossover written by Derek Connolly.

This is a franchise squarely in rebuilding mode. Transformers One underperformed at the box office despite being better than its reputation suggests, Rise of the Beasts performed commercially but took critical hits, and the well-liked Bumblebee approach has been left behind. The big question on the table: is a reboot coming too soon, or is fresh blood exactly what Transformers needs to win over a new generation?

• 0:24 Transformers One, Rise of the Beasts, and Bumblebee
• 0:30 Can a Reboot Make Transformers Feel Fresh Again
• 0:35 Your Turn: Too Early for a Reboot?

Key Takeaways

• Jason Fuchs is set to write a new live-action Transformers movie for Paramount and Hasbro
• Fuchs is best known for Wonder Woman, Welcome to Derry, Argylle, and Pan, making his track record a mixed bag
• A separate Transformers and G.I. Joe crossover is being written by Derek Connolly
• The franchise is in a clear rebuilding phase after recent box office and critical struggles
• Transformers One underperformed despite being a stronger film than it got credit for
• Rise of the Beasts did well commercially but was panned by critics
• The Bumblebee style appears to be off the table going forward
• A reboot could be the move to make Transformers feel fresh for a new generation

Memorable Quotes

• "We're walking away with a mixed bag here on this one, guys."
• "Transformers One just bombed at the box office. It was a better movie than people gave it credit for."
• "Hopefully, with a new little reboot, the franchise can feel fresh for an entirely new generation."
