Beginning with a pair of twisted tales from The Twilight Zone, through Buffy the Vampire Slayer's addressing of death in The Body, the tragedy of M.A.S.H., the mistake of fan-service in Moonlighting, to the mind-blowing finale of The Leftovers; there is a lot to discuss.

Jack Reacher is a retired military investigator who simply wants to now live his life however he sees fit. But after a murder is pinned on him and things somehow get even more personal, Reacher sets off for justice by using the little details that matter to find those responsible and – if possible – burn them all to the ground. He’s a man who never bluffs, never quits, and he never backs down. On this episode, REACHER star Alan Ritchson sits down with Aaron from The Hollywood Outsider to discuss bringing Lee Child's iconic character of Jack Reacher to the streaming masses with this new series, available on Prime Video beginning February 4th.

Alan Ritchson is an actor, writer, and director who you might know from his roles in Blood Drive, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, not to mention his beloved roles as Thad in Blue Mountain State or Hawk in Titans. In this interview, we discuss Alan’s take on the role, what Reacher means to fans, how genuine those insane fights scenes are, which Reacher book he would love to see made for a future season, and a lot more.

Enjoy this interview with Alan Ritchson, and be sure to stay tuned after the interview as we deliver our spoiler-free review of REACHER: Season 1, which begins streaming February 4th on Prime Video. Scroll down for the video interview.

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we discuss every single aspect - spoilers and all - of the biggest movie of the entire year, Spider-Man: No Way Home! 

Tom Holland returns for the conclusion of his trilogy which began with Spider-Man: Homecoming as director Jon Watts pulls out all of the stops. Peter Parker's choices, returning villains, navigating potential franchise missteps, the strange choices of Doctor Strange, stellar surprise casting, and enough heart-filled Marvel nostalgia to power a DeLorean. Nothing is out of bounds on our latest spoilercast. 

Following the events of Far from Home, where Mysterio outed Peter’s true identity on his deathbed, his life is becoming straight-up chaos. His identity upends everyone’s life that he cares about: Aunt May, Ned, MJ, Happy. Peter (Tom Holland) gets the questionable idea of reaching out to Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and asking him to throw down a little spell that forces the world to just forget about ole Spidey’s identity and needless to say, things do NOT go as planned. Marvel’s Multiverse opens up, and fan service takes a collect call direct from Kevin Feige’s cinematic prison. Also, the true Peter Parker finally emerges.

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we're discussing the 20th anniversary of the beloved cinematic nerd achievement Lord of the Rings, the beginning of one of the ballsiest choices Hollywood has ever made: filming a fantasy trilogy, all at once, when fantasy like this was not popular at all. And make no mistake, you can thank this series for Game of Thrones, Wheel of Time, Witcher, and numerous other fantasy shows getting greenlit. It showed there was an audience for it as long as you did it right.

Also this week: we say goodbye to 2021 by discussing Kevin Feige and Disney's inconsistency on whether the Netflix Marvel shows are connected to the MCU, the disaster that is known as entertainment journalism, and podcasting officially becoming mainstream by showing up in film & television, as well as Movie Innuendo returns for a Christmas edition.
