YOUR NERD SIDE

Fonseca talks with Alexis Cruz American actor, known for his performances as Rafael in Touched by an Angel and as Skaara in Stargate and Stargate SG-1. Born in The Bronx of Puerto Rican descent. His mother, Julia, was a songwriter. He currently resides in Los Angeles. He started his acting career when he was 9. However, when he was 13, and was auditioning for a role, the director explained to him that he was a bad actor, so Cruz decided to enter The School of Performing Arts that same year.
Cruz appeared as assistant D.A. Martin Allende in the legal drama Shark, with co-stars James Woods and Jeri Ryan. In the 1998 film Why Do Fools Fall In Love, Cruz played the role of Herman Santiago, one of the original members of the rock and roll group The Teenagers. Along with Erick Avari, he is one of only two actors to appear in both the original Stargate film and the spin-off series Stargate SG-1.

Star Wars is one the most popular film franchises of all time, with entire generations brought up on the galaxy far, far away. The nine-film Skywalker Saga ended with J.J. Abrams' The Rise of Skywalker last December, which provided an ending to the story that moviegoers had been following for decades. But it turns out that Episode IX should have actually had the name of a previous movie-- at least according to one fan who swapped all of the titles of the movies. And my mind is blown.
The clip goes chronologically through the Star Wars franchise, and argued why each title should actually be swapped. Funny enough, the hypothesis actually trades the name of Episode I and Episode IX in a way that really makes sense. Since OG prequel Episode I is focused on a young Anakin Skywalker, it would make sense for the movie to be titled The Rise of Skywalker. More literal right?

And as Palpatine is revealed to be the puppet master behind the events of the sequel trilogy in Episode IX, the video claims that it should be titled The Phantom Menace. After all, J.J. Abrams' blockbuster revealed that the events of the previous two movies including Snoke were actually all at the behest of Palpatine and his secret, menacing ways.

Fonseca and AMV talk with voice actor Larry Kenny, Kenney was part of the regular cast on the Imus in the Morning radio show from 1973 to 2007, where he recorded impersonations of dozens of characters, including General George Patton, Andy Rooney and Ross Perot. Also in 1973, Kenney joined 1050 WHN (now WEPN), a country music station in New York City. He originally announced the afternoon drive-time, before taking over the prestigious morning drive-time in 1974. He stayed at WHN until the fall of 1979. His show was a hit, not only for the music, but also for his comical characters who "joined" him while performing his deejay duties. He was the host of the New York edition of the television show Bowling for Dollars on WOR-TV (now WWOR-TV) from 1976 to 1979.

He is also known for his voice work as Lion-O on the 1980s Rankin-Bass cartoon ThunderCats, and Karate Kat, a martial arts blackbelt cat featured as part of The Comic Strip. He was also the voice of Bluegrass in SilverHawks and Dolph in TigerSharks. Kenney also did voice work for several breakfast cereal characters, including Count Chocula and Sonny the Cuckoo Bird. In recent years, he has reprised this role for humorous ThunderCats references on the animated series Family Guy. In the 2011 ThunderCats animated series on Cartoon Network, Kenney returned to the series, but as Claudus, Lion-O's and Tygra's Father.

Kenney provided voice-overs for The State, the 1990s sketch comedy cult classic which featured his daughter, Kerri Kenney. He was also the announcer for VH1's Best Week Ever during its run from 2004–2009, and provides introductions for Westwood One's radio coverage of Monday Night Football and various other commercial work.[citation needed] He was the announcer for "102.7 The Beat" in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV and K.T.I Radio in the L.A.

How Han Solo’s Infamous Kessel Run Tied Into Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Trace, Rafa and Ahsoka in Star Wars: The Clone Wars
For years, Star Wars fans have heard Han Solo brag about his famous Kessel Run, which he completed in exactly twelve parsecs thanks to the Millennium Falcon. They also got their chance to finally witness the actual feat in 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. Kessel is definitely a location in the Star Wars universe that’s almost exclusively linked to Han but, after the latest episode of The Clone Wars, that may not be the case moving forward.

For those who aren’t caught up on what’s been happening in the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the show’s latest arc centers on Ahsoka Tano, who has left the Jedi Order. Since her departure, she’s been living in the Coruscant underworld but recently found refuge with an aspiring pilot named Trace and her shady sister, Rafa.

Ahsoka and Trace quickly became firm friends, especially after Ahsoka saved her life on two separate occasions. However, their friendship was really put to the test this week after Rafa arranged for the group to complete a job using a freighter that Trace restored.

As it so happens, Rafa arranged for the three to fly to Kessel, where they were to pick up and deliver a large shipment of spice to a crime family. Knowing the stories that surround Kessel, Ahsoka wass apprehensive, but Trace naively went along with her sister’s plan. In the end, the three found themselves captured by the Pyke crime syndicate.

Solo did an effective job of emphasizing how dangerous of a place Kessel can be, and Clone Wars does the same. Ahsoka makes repeated attempts to make Trace understand that making a spice run could have dangerous results, including losing one’s ship. It’s this specific point that causes Trace to make a rash decision.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars does an effective job of building on franchise lore and expanding on it in new ways. This can definitely be said of the “Bad Batch” story arc that kicked off the season. In terms of Kessel, its presence on the show never feels like fan service but more like a natural decision given Rafa’s desire for big jobs from high-paying clients. Giving viewers a look at how spice is processed through the use of slave labor was also a clear way of expanding what we know about Kessel and sending a pretty poignant message as well. Also, the plan Ahsoka comes up with to outsmart the Pykes is so risky it would make Han Solo proud.

With Ahsoka, Trace and Rafa now caught in a deadly situation, we can only imagine that next week’s episode will give us an even better idea of the dangers of Kessel. Star Wars: The Clone Warsis now streaming on Disney+.

Fonseca talks with actor Sean Whalen is an American actor and writer. He is known for his work in numerous TV shows, including Shannon's Deal and Grace Under Fire, as well as movies, including The People Under the Stairs and Doppelganger. He is also known for appearing as a hapless history buff in the first commercial of "Got Milk?", directed by Michael Bay, which aired in 1993.
Superman is one of DC’s strongest heroes, and can be a thorn in the side for any comic book or screenwriter who tackles him. That’s mainly because he’s super hard to defeat, so much so that ensemble features typically have to burden him with one specific task to prevent the reader to ask why he doesn’t just do everything the rest of the team is working on. Superman has had his troubles in the DC Universe, though I believe he’d struggle much more with a solid number of Marvel villains.

There are some Marvel villains that would easily crush Superman in a fight. With that being said, I’m not just going to rattle off the strongest villains that would vaporize the Man of Steel on sight. Instead, I’m taking things down a few levels and presenting some options that could be defeated by Superman, but would overall be at an advantage against him. Long story short, don’t expect Onslaught or Franklin Richards, but this list may have some touches of cosmic strength as one works their way down.

Dark Phoenix Marvel
Dark Phoenix

As demonstrated in Dark Phoenix, the Phoenix force is among the strongest entities in the X-Men universe. Through Jean Grey, it allows for psychic and telekinetic abilities that are off the charts in terms of strength. The only real way to defeat Dark Phoenix is to get through to the real Jean, who Superman doesn’t know.

immune to the effects of telepaths. This Marvel villain would be able to dominate the mind of Superman with little to no effort, and he’d be bent to her will and ultimately defeated in whatever way she chose from there. As long as Dark Phoenix didn’t try to make Supes a puppet to do her bidding and buy him time for the real Jean to intervene, I’d say this battle would come to an end rather easily.

Doctor Doom Marvel
Doctor Doom

Doctor Doom isn’t just one of the greatest Marvel villains ever conceived, he’s also a formidable foe for nearly any hero. This includes Superman, who could easily overpower Doom when it comes to brute strength, but is outmatched when it comes to matters of the mind. Doom would certainly find a way to create or find kryptonite to weaken the hero, and drastically lower the gap of strength between them.

Beyond being intellectually superior, Doctor Doom is one of the more magically proficient Marvel villains out there. Superman is invulnerable to many things, but magic is notoriously one of the things he struggles a great deal with. Provided Doom could prevent the physical power of Superman, he could easily subdue him with plenty of magic and some advance planning. If the two were to just meet on the street randomly, however, it’d really come down to how Doom learned Supes’ weakness, and if he could exploit it before Superman took a shot.

Loki Marvel
Loki

The god of mischief Loki may not be a physical threat to Superman in any way, but he does have the standard durability of an Asgardian. That alone allowed him to take a thrashing from Hulk in The Avengers, and while it didn’t look like it tickled, it was shown he walked away from the encounter in Avengers: Endgame with seemingly little to no long term damage. That’s impressive, not to mention a little intimidating.

Much like Doctor Doom, Loki is one of the notable powerful magic users of the Marvel universe. His command of magic combined with his ability to keep Superman adequately confused with his vast array of tricks, I don’t see any scenario where Superman would easily defeat Loki on his own. With the full power of the Justice League he may get it done faster than The Avengers did, but that’s not what this list is about.

Venomsaurus Rex Marvel
Venomsaurus Rex

The MCU has come a long way in elevating the quality of superhero movies, but even now, there are some things that can only be done in the comics. Case in point, we have Venomsaurus Rex, who was first conceived during the Old Man Logan comic run. This is essentially a Tyrannosaurus Rex from the Savage Lands that had eaten a symbiote chasing Logan and Clint Barton. It’s still a T-Rex, though everything about it is enhanced due to it also being inhabited by the Venom symbiote.

The Marvel villain would be one tough nut to crack for Superman, for various reasons. To start, it’s a freaking dinosaur, and while it can’t throw a punch, that symbiote ability will allow it to do a bunch of things a typical dinosaur couldn’t. Also, let’s not forget the symbiote itself would see a superior foe in Superman, and try to attach itself accordingly. Even if the T-Rex itself was killed, I’d have to think the symbiote attaching to Superman and corrupting him would be a definitive win for Marvel villains everywhere.

Electro Marvel
Electro

I’ll be the first to admit this is a dicey option. Again though, I’m looking for villains that would give Superman a run for his money, not necessarily Marvel villains that would demolish him immediately. Even still, the iconic Spider-Man villain Electro is a long shot, but under the right circumstances he could take Superman to the limit, and maybe even defeat him in a one on one battle.

While it isn’t always true of the character, Superman has been shown to be sensitive to electricity. Provided this is the case in a battle with Electro, that’s a trump card that the villain can go to again and again to exploit against Superman. With that said, even Superman is frequently shown to overcome insurmountable odds, so I could definitely see him overcoming Electro through some planning eventually. Electro would have to strike fast and keep the pressure on, and if he did that, I think he’d pull out the win.

Juggernaut Marvel
Juggernaut

With the power of Cyttorak flowing through him, Juggernaut is a powerhouse. His strength is limitless, he’s physically invulnerable, and nigh-impossible to stop physically when he gains momentum. He’s one of the stronger people in the Marvel universe, but still below as powerful as the Marvel strength chart can go. Not counting Gods though, it took Hulk being enhanced as a Horseman of Apocalypse with Celestial technology to physically stop Juggernaut in motion. In layman’s terms, it took a hell of a lot power to make that happen.

Superman would not be able to physically stop Juggernaut without some modifications of his own. Even though, the mystical power of Cyttorak is a form of magical ability, which would feasibly mean that merely getting struck by Juggernaut would injure Superman greatly. The best Superman could hope for is to outsmart or fool Juggernaut into some trap, though I don’t see a situation where the Man of Steel could effectively overcome this Marvel villain.

This week on the show the guys talk about Coronavirus and what its doing to movies, comics and more. Fonseca sits down and talks with Chase Masterson Since 2010, Masterson has reprised her role as Leeta from Deep Space Nine, both in hologram form and in her "mirror universe" guise, in Cryptic Studios' Star Trek Online.After Masterson appeared in two Doctor Who audio adventures from Big Finish Productions, it was announced on October 19, 2012, that she would star in her own spin-off series, Vienna, as "impossibly glamorous bounty hunter" Vienna Salvator

The Most Iconic LEX LUTHOR Actors, Ranked
6. Jesse Eisenberg
Jesse Eisenbrg’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Lex Luthor isn’t exactly a fan favorite (though he’s got his admirers to be sure), but it’s hard to argue Eisenberg found a niche for Luthor as a demented wunderkind bent on manipulating the world’s heroes into fighting each other.
It’s unclear what future if any Eisenberg’s Luthor has on film, but he was last scene in a post-credits scene for Justice League in which he seemingly recruited Deathstroke to a big screen version of the Legion of Doom that may or may not ever come to fruition.
5. Jon Cryer
When The CW first announced their decision to cast Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor in Supergirl, the skepticism ran deep. Four years after finishing his 12-season run on CBS's Two and a Half Men, the actor, who many still think of as Pretty in Pink's iconic, lovable, nerdy character Duckie, the actor took a huge risk in stepping into the villainous role.

He may have played Lex Luthor's nephew Lenny in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, but that movie wasn't — how should we put this? — good. 33 years later, could Cryer find redemption in returning to this universe and playing the corrupt billionaire? Absolutely.

Cryer's take on the famous supervillain is much darker than what Gene Hackman did with the role. He's a lot closer to the comic book version of Luthor. But there is a sinister glimmer in this Luthor's eye here that is slightly reminiscent of Hackman's scenery-chewing glory. Let's be clear here, though: Cryer does not chew the scenery at all as Lex Luthor.

This Lex is self-obsessed and self-important. But he is also an absolute sociopath. It's a challenge for any actor to portray someone this evil and still make him fun for audiences to watch. Somehow, Cryer is able to find the inner joy in bringing Luthor to life. And that sinister glimmer we referenced earlier makes Lex Luthor's ongoing conflict with Supergirl all the more entertaining to watch.
4. John Shea
John Shea’s charismatic Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman version of Lex Luthor was somewhat ahead of its time, posing Luthor as an Elon Musk style tech entrepreneur with his fingers on the pulse of cutting edge technology. But unlike the modern real world archetype he foreshadowed, Shea’s Luthor had those same fingers spread into the criminal underworld as well.

Shea’s Luthor oozed confidence and friendly favor to the public, but behind the scenes his ruthless machinations and hatred of Superman colored his every action. Lois and Clark’s Luthor followed an arc far different from most versions of the character, but at the same time presented one of the most complete pictures of Luthor’s dual nature yet on screen.
3. Michael Rosenbaum
Michael Rosenbaum played perhaps the scariest version live action version of Lex Luthor – because we saw him evolve from Clark Kent’s friend to the nascent Superman’s arch-enemy almost in real time. Rosenbaum’s likable but increasingly cold Luthor was a major departure from previous well-known versions of the character like Gene Hackman’s Superman: The Movie version.

Oddly enough, Rosenbaum also portrayed the Flash in the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated series – and he also got a chance to portray a very different version of Luthor on that show as well in an episode where Wally West and Lex Luthor switch brains (a la Freaky Friday). The result is Rosenbaum doing his best version of Luthor impersonating the Flash, while JLU’s Luthor Clancy Brown (remember that name) turns in a performance as Rosenbaum’s Wally impersonating him – a classic bit of switcheroo.
2. Clancy Brown
Unlike his Gotham City arch-criminal equivalent the Joker, Lex Luthor doesn’t have a rich history of iconic voice portrayals that immediately spring to mind. But Clancy Brown’s Luthor, whom he voiced from Superman: The Animated Series through Justice League Unlimited, breaks that mold.

Brown’s Luthor carried a snide edge that was clearly informed by Gene Hackman’s Superman: The Movie performance (more on that later), but which went an extra mile in its vicious sarcasm. Brown’s Luthor moved from the LexCorp boardroom into the Hall of Doom and eventually to deep space, seamlessly exuding Lex’s confidence and arrogance in every context he was placed.
1. Gene Hackman
Much like his heroic counterpart Christopher Reeve’s good natured take on Superman, Gene Hackman’s affable but diabolical robber baron/real estate developer version of Lex Luthor defined the character for a whole generation of fans in Superman: The Movie and its sequels.

Hackman’s portrayal is worlds apart from some versions of the character – he’s not exactly the mad scientist supervillain type – but his Lex still informs aspects of Luthor in both comic books and subsequent film portrayals, where his grandiosity and borderline madness often come through – along with his off-beat humor.

Now Hackman's Luthor has another, more direct legacy in Superman media. John Cryer, who played Lex Luthor's nephew Lenny Luthor alongside Hackman in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, will now portray Lex Luthor on CW's Supergirl.
