The Rabblecast

*Show Note: This episode was originally recorded on May 30th.

We start off the episode with some bad accents. I mean, really bad. But that leads us down a rabbit hole of X-Men movie history discussions. More specifically, we find out which iteration of Juggernaut that Doug enjoys most!

Hernandez talk about his trip to the theaters to catch the 40th Anniversary celebrations of The Transformers on the big screen. (Not to be confused with the Transformers: The Movie Anniversary which is coming up in August.)

Last but not least, we talk about the 2022 Australian supernatrual horror film, Talk To Me. Directed by Danny and Michael Philippou in their feature directorial debuts.

We wanted to have this episode up much sooner but as the saying goes, better late than never. We are celebrating 18 years of The Rabblecast! Thank you to everyone that has been on this crazy journey with us. We appreciate your continued support.

On this episode, we talk about the launch of, Jason Universe! All things Jason Voorhees will fall under this new umbrella of a multimedia company from Horror Inc.. Movies, games, collectibles, and much more! Are you ready for a multimedia blitz of the horror icon? We delve into the history that led up to the formation of this new company for the beloved slasher franchise.

Staying on the topic of horror, Doug mentions a movie he is looking forward to watching. In a Violent Nature (Which by now has been released and we will touch upon in a later episode) written and directed by, Chris Nash. Released by IFC Films.

We also take a further look at X-Men '97 since the first season has wrapped up on Disney+. Worry not, we stay spoiler free for those of you who have yet to watch an episode. To sum it up, if you have not watched any of the first season, make sometime to watch it. You will not be disappointed.

Streaming platforms have become the norm. Netflix, Paramount+, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, Max(HBO) and many, many others. All of them have the same thing in common. They want your money, preferably on a monthly basis.

Well, now they are trying create large bundles to entice you when you make your decision. In this case, Disney+, Hulu, and Max(HBO). Would a bundle plan make a difference in your entertainment choices?

While we talk about TV and movies, we would like to remind you, if you enjoy any show, series, or movie and you want to watch it whenever you so choose, but a physical copy. Bypass all the streaming platforms that can and will pull content on a regular basis depending on viewing trends. Buy it, save it, and enjoy it whenever you want without a monthly subscription.

We start the show with a story out of left field. Hernandez brings us the tale of one, Georgia Tann. Tann was an American social worker and child trafficker who operated the Tennessee Children's Home Society, an unlicensed adoption agency in Memphis, Tennessee. Her operation ran from the 1920's until to 1950. One of her countless victims includes a wrestling legend, Ric Flair.

We also share some stories about recent workout adventures. From power lifting to martial arts, we share some personal experiences.

Then, Doug shares his thoughts on a movie. Late Night with the Devil (2023) starring: David Dastmalchian, Laura Gordon, and Ian Bliss. The supernatrual horror film depicts what happens when a late night talk show invites a former cult member onto the show to talk about their experiences.

Fallout, the popular role playing game from, Bethesda has become a series on Amazon Prime Video! Hernandez takes the dive into the wastelands and relays most of what he found to Doug. We try not to spoil any big story points in the series but we do know that the second season of the show will be heading to a popular in-game location. New Vegas, baby!

We also touch upon the recently release, Road House. Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Daniela Melchior, and Conor McGregor(making his film debut). Does it live up to the original Patrick Swayze film? Maybe the better question is, does it have to live up to the original?

From there we also dive into the film work of, John McTiernan. Nomads, Die Hard, Predator, Medicine Man, The Last Action Hero, and many others. This part of the conversation was inspired by a podcast called, Blank Check. A show that looks at the filmography of successful directors in Hollywood and how their careers turn out after some success and some failures.

Reboots, reboots, reboots! It seems that movie studios love to raid the toy chest when it comes to making new films out of existing franchises. Transformers One is the latest entry into the Transformers franchise from Hasbro and Paramount Animation. Starring the voice talents of: Chris Hemsworth as Orion Pax/Optimus Prime, Brian Tyree Henry as D-16/Megatron, Scarlett Johansson as Elita, and Keegan-Michael Key as B-127/Bumblebee.

With the recent trailer we can clearly see that the movie is aimed at a younger audience. Just like other popular intellectual properties, we get a new retelling of the lore for a new generation. But, how will the older fan base react to it?

Finally... we get to talk about WWE's, Wrestlemania 40! Professional wrestling's largest show of the year, the "Stage of the Immortals", "Where it all begins..." You get the idea.

With all of the recent news surrounding WWE as a company it has been interesting to see just how management has been able to navigate the troubled waters they have been going through. This also marks the beginning of a new era for the company after the resignation of, Vince McMahon.

We rundown the different matches and go over some of the highlights of both night's of Wrestlemania 40! Who retained their title? Who made cameo appearances? What's next for WWE and their roster?

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, or any Ghostbusters film for that matter, has a tall order as far as what movie goers expect. Fans will love the film undoubtedly. But this iteration of the extended Ghostbusters lore feels like coming home again. We go over the film itself and do a brief rundown of the past films that led up to this point. Ghostbusters new and old come together to fend off a new threat to New York and the world.

We also delve into older movies, the other show that Doug does with friends(Wings on Wings Podcast), lottery tips, and show memories!

X-Men '97 has hit Disney+ and everyone is talking about the return of the X-Men animated series, and what this could mean for Xavier's Mutants going forward. Could this incarnation of the animated launch the X-Men into the MCU, much like how the original series helped to usher the merry mutants into live-action?

We also touch upon the release of, Beau DeMayo (Writer, Creator, and Producer of the series). The news of DeMayo's release came a week before the debut of the series on Disney+ and shortly before the premier screening. No real reason has been given at this time.
