Fallout Season 1 Discussion | The Cosmic Circle May 05, 2024

Show notes

The Fallout series has been an astounding hit for Prime Video, still holding spots at the top of the charts on the streaming service. The renewed interest has even made physical copies of the game, harder to find, speaking to the success and reach that the show has brought forth. We were corralled into a vast world with three intertwined stories, from Ghouls, to Vaulties, to the Brotherhood of Steel. Luckily, a second season has already been ordered, giving everyone plenty of time to play the games while we wait for the show to begin filming again.

Join host Anthony Flagg (X/Twitter: redovah_) and his guests Drew Reed (X/Twitter: drewreed1099) and Cameron Brook (X/Twitter:: camandfilm) as they discuss their favorite facets of Fallout. In this episode, we get the varied context from some of the guests who have not played the games previously! Also, there are discussions about what they want to see in Fallout season 2, and their plans to play the major game franchise in the future.

’Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ Discussion | The Cosmic Circle Apr 08, 2024

Show notes

The Titan-sized box office hit Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire popped up from the depths of Hollow Earth into theaters last week. The movie, the latest from director Adam Wingard, is the 38th Godzilla film and the newest entry into Legendary's MonsterVerse.

The film brings together Apple TV+'s Monarch in expanding the world and also gives us the impossible not-to-meme visual of Godzilla sleeping in the Coliseum like a giant Cat. With impressive acting from Rebecca Hall, Kaylee Hottle, Dan Stevens, and The Eternals' Brian Tyree Henry, the movie left us at The Cosmic Circus with many monstrous thoughts on this post-Mechagodzilla universe.

Join host Ayla Ruby, Brian Kitson, Uday Kataria, as they discuss Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Beware, spoilers for the city-smashing Titan story, as well as Monarch, are discussed within and below.

Dune Part Two Movie Discussion | The Cosmic Circle Mar 11, 2024

Show notes

Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two is here, and we here at The Cosmic Circus are ready to accept Timothée Chalamet (and Zendaya's!) ascendancy. It's been a long road to the second half of this newest adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic novel from 1965, and there have been a few bumps along the way. From teases to whether or not "Part Two" of Dune would actually happen to dual strikes in Hollywood thanks to some greedy behavior by the AMPTP, the project has faced some delays. But now it's here in (mostly) IMAX projected glory with an impressive cast, including Rebecca Ferguson, Austin Butler, Javier Bardem, Florence Pugh, and more.

Join host Ayla Ruby, Uday Kataria, and John Dotson as they discuss Dune: Part Two. Warning: Spoilers for the latest spice-powered epic are discussed within.

Director Douglas Schulz & Horror Legend Doug Bradley Talk ’Thorns’ | Exclusive Interview Feb 17, 2024

Show notes

It's never the wrong time to watch a horror film, right? While so many I know wait until October and stockpile their scary movies to marathon for Halloween (peak spooky season vibes), I'm in the wheelhouse that horror is perfect for any reason and any season. While the snow piles up outside my window and the wind roars throughout the sky, it smells like the perfect time for a new horror film. So if you're like me, there's a new horror film that's just having its premiere! Thorns begins its limited release in theaters on February 23 and opens with a wider release on March 13. I was able to sit down with director/writer Douglas Schulze and one of the stars Doug Bradley (who you may know as Pinhead from Hellraiser) about the experience with this film!

In our conversation, Schulze discusses how he developed the story of Thorns, how the monster came to be, how the practical effects and 80s vibes came to be, and the positives of filming in Michigan. Bradley speaks on what drew him to the film and role and why it's important to support indie films in an industry of superhero blockbusters!

Thorns arrives in theaters for a limited release at Emagine theaters on February 23 and opens with a wider release on March 13. https://www.emagine-entertainment.com/movies/thorns/

Composer Stefan L. Smith on the Sound of Superhero Adventures | Exclusive Interview Feb 12, 2024

Show notes

Stefan L. Smith is a talented composer who lent his talents to the animated Batman film Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham last year. He's back with another set of superhero compositions, this time for PBS. Smith scored Super Why's Comic Book Adventures, a show geared towards helping young children improve their reading skills, with a superhero twist. The music is catchy and has a great purpose, so we were excited to chat over Zoom with him about bringing this project to life.

‘Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur’ EPs Steve Loter and Rodney Clouden Talk Season 2 | Exclusive Interview Jan 29, 2024

Show notes

Lunella Lafayette (Diamond White), aka Moon Girl from Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, is a super-genius who just wants to help and protect her community. Season 2 of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur hits the airwaves on February 2 on the Disney Channel and Disney XD and the next day on Disney+. Last week over Zoom, we chatted again with executive producer Steve Loter and co-executive producer Rodney Clouden, two of the creative minds who have helped bring the amazing Lunella to the screen.

It was exciting to talk to the duo about this upcoming season, and we learned a lot about what to expect for Lunella and her family. Loter and Clouden shared some of how Lunella's superhero life would clash with her family life, and what that would mean for both of them. We talked about one of the new big villains this season, Molecule Man (Edward James Olmos), and some other guest voices.
