There’s a new man Without Fear in town! At long last, Netflix has released a full trailer for the much anticipated third season of Daredevil.
When we last saw Matt Murdock, he was believed to have died with Elektra in the climactic finish of The Defenders. However, he was shown to be very much alive and in hiding in the final scene.
This season sees the main antagonist role return to Wilson Fisk, aka The Kingpin, played by Vincent D’Onofrio. Matt again dons the homemade black costume, and continues his vigilante ways. Why he has not reached out to his friends Foggy and Karen will probably have to wait until the season drops on October 19th.
As to who this imposter Daredevil is, Netflix may have spilled the beans. Actor Wilson Bethel has been confirmed to play Benjamin Poindexter, aka Bullseye. Smart money would seem to point to Bullseye making his Netflix debut impersonating The Man Without Fear. Colin Farrell had previously played Bullseye in the 2003 feature film that starred current Batman Ben Affleck in the title role.
What did you think of the trailer? Are you excited to see another take on Daredevil vs. Bullseye?
A few photos have leaked from the set of the yet to be titled fourth Avengers film. The movie will of course be released in 2019 as a direct follow up to Avengers: Infinity War. If you’ve seen that film (and if you haven’t, why are you reading this?) you know that half the universe’s population is willed out of existence by Thanos.
Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and many of the other major players made the survive list, while Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Nick Fury weren’t so fortunate.
Now, with the leaking of this photo on the next page, we can that as some point during the film, Steve Rogers…
… SHAVES! Yes fans, that is a clean shaven Cap below!
Hopefully that got you to laugh or smile. Only eight more months until the fourth Avengers film hits theaters, and we can finally see the fate of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!.
In the latest chapter in the ongoing controversy for Guardians Of The Galaxy 3, the movie is reported to be on hold after Disney made the decision to not reinstate director James Gunn. Dave Bautista has stated that he isn’t sure he wants to return.
“They’re putting the movie off. It’s on hold indefinitely. To be honest with you, I don’t know if I want to work for Disney.”
2. Also part of the DC Movie Universe will be an as of yet untitled Joker/Harley movie that would further explore the relationship between Joker and Harley Quinn. Leto and Robbie would likely return for that film that has been described as “When Harry Met Sally On Benzedrine”.
Also on the docket, a possible Birds Of Prey movie. Margot Robbie has reportedly expressed desire to portray Harley in her own standalone film. Birds Of Prey has been a title for DC that involved an all-female cast in various incarnations over the years. Harley has been part of the group in the comics since her turn as a more anti-hero type character. Cathy Yan (Dead Pigs) is set to direct off a Christina Hodson (Bumblebee) story. It is yet to be announced whether the film will feature Leto as Joker.
It’s the last show of the month. And to be a little different, we are debuting a new segment. We like to call it Geekville Radio’s Nostalgia Trip. The debut edition of Geekville Radio’s Nostalgia Trip is devoted to the classic 1980s TV show The Dukes Of Hazzard. Seth “Zandrax” Zillmann and “Crazy Train” Jonathan Bolick talk the history of the show and why it is so iconic almost 40 years later.
As ardent fans know, Dukes was actually spun off of a 1975 feature film Moonrunners, which had a very similar vibe. Both that film and the TV series were created by Gy Waldron, and are based on the stories of Jerry Rushing. Crazy Train provides a brief course in moonshine whiskey and moonshine running.
How well do you know the background of Bo, Luke, Daisy, and Uncle Jesse? No matter your level of Dukes fandom, you might learn a few things. Which Duke was a Vietnam Vet? Which was a star football player in high school?
And of course, what good are the heroes without the villains? JD “Boss” Hogg, Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane, Deputies Enos Strate and Cledus Hogg made up the recurring antagonists for The Duke family. Then of course there were the out of town strangers that would be up to no good each week.
You knew trouble was coming to Hazzard when you saw a basic Plymouth Fury riding into town.
Seth and Train also dive into the 1982-83 season which had the controversial replacement Dukes, Coy and Vance.
But perhaps most importantly, they talk the vehicles.
While Hazzard Country Georgia may not actually exist, Train does provide geographical evidence as to where Hazzard County would be on a map if it did. Don’t believe us? Listen to Train’s evidence and you’ll hear why.
Now you know where to find Hazzard County Georgia!
If you’re a 70s kid like Train, an 80s kid like Seth, or even came to love Dukes Of Hazzard after the fact, there is something for you in this edition of Geekville Radio’s Nostalgia Trip. Our goal is that, regardless of your level of fandom, you’ll enjoy this podcast and maybe even learn something about what was arguably the most “Southern” TV show to ever air on television.
As mentioned during the show, Crazy Train has amassed a list of Outlaw Country songs for Spotify, which fit perfectly with the attitude of Dukes Of Hazzard.
Look up our shows on Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts. You can find us on Facebook and Twitter, and Crazy Train can be reached on Twitter. Give us a subscribe and let us know! We encourage your feedback!
Zandrax and Crazy Train are back with four main topics in the news.
First off, Mark Hamill has been cast in the second season of Knightfall. He will portray Talus, and will debut in the second season.
“a battle-hardened Knight Templar veteran of the Crusades, who survived captivity for ten years in the Holy Land and is tasked with training the new initiates to the Order”
No premiere date is listed as of our recording, but presumably the second season will premiere late this year.
Disney has released the first glimpses of the Resistance animated series with this trailer
This is quite the departure from the 3D CGI animated of the previous two series. Does this look like another can’t miss? Or is it less appealing that the previous shows.
Marvel has teased the full blown Iron Fist costume in the teaser for Season 2.
Both Zandrax and Train liked the trailer, and any fan of Iron Fist comic will probably be happy with what’s teased.
In DC news, Watchmen has been picked up for a full season on HBO. Jeremy Irons leads the cast for the series that will be set in present day, 30 years after the events of Watchmen took place.
What did you think of these trailers? Or any of the other news? Sound off below!
Geekville Radio is back with the usual co-hosts Seth and Crazy Train at the helm.
Dave Bautista has publicly stated that wants James Gunn reinstated as director for Guardians Of The Galaxy 3. Could this mean Drax is written out of the film? Could other actors follow suit? Heck Marvel themselves are backing Gunn, so what could be the outcome?
I will do what Im legally obligated to do but @Guardians without @JamesGunn is not what I signed up for. GOTG w/o @JamesGunn just isn’t GOTG. Its also pretty nauseating to work for someone who’d empower a smear campaign by fascists #cybernazis . That’s just how I feel https://t.co/Ym4FwruVDu
In another casting that has taken the geek world by storm, Ruby Rose has been confirmed to play Batwoman in the upcoming Arrowverse crossover in December.
Speaking of TV, the big rumor going around is that the Star Wars live action series for the Disney streaming service will be a 100 million dollar ten episode season. Not only that, it will center around the planet Mandalore in a post-Return Of The Jedi galaxy. Fitting given creator Jon Favreau’s connection to Mandaloreans from The Clone Wars.
All this and more in another fun-filled episode of Geekville Radio!
If you’re a “trekkie” or “trekker”, you’ve come to the right place! This episode of Geekville Radio is devoted almost entirely to Star Trek
In a move that has been speculated for some time, Sir Patrick Stewart officially announced his return to the Star Trek franchise as Jean-Luc Picard. While the details are not made yet, Picard’s presence will be on the as yet unnamed second Trek series slated for CBS All-Access. Seth and special guest Will give some fun speculation on what Picard might be doing.
Not to be outdone by TV, current Spock Zachary Quinto gives an update on the rumored Quentin Tarantino helmed feature film. Given Tarantino’s style, it’s almost assuredly an R-Rated movie. If that is the case, it will mark the first time Star Trek has ventured into R-Rated territory. The big question looms: Is Tarantino a fit for Star Trek?
In late breaking news, veteran Trek actor Brent Spiner has been announced as part of the cast for Supergirl’s fourth season. Plus, Orange Is The New Black’s Ruby Rose has been cast as the previously announced Batwoman.
All this and more in another fun-filled edition of Geekville Radio
In a casting coup that will likely please the geek community, Ruby Rose has been revealed as the new Batwoman. The character was announced several months back as a focal part of this year’s Arrowverse crossover, which has become an annual event for the CW superhero shows.
Rose is of course best known for the smash hit series Orange Is The New Black, currently in its sixth season on Netflix.
Batwoman, not to be confused with Batgirl, was introduced in the 1950s. The character was revamped in 2006, and given her own series in 2011.
The multi-part crossover special will air in December on CW. If all goes well, Batwoman will be given her own TV series. Though no indication yet which of the existing 53 Earths she’ll hail from.
One of the biggest stories in all of geekery finished another chapter. The merger of Disney with 20th Century Fox properties has been approved by stockholders. This brings us another step closer to Disney having control of Fox material. This has obvious effects on two major properties
Marvel
How would this affect the MCU?
Could we get Hugh Jackman back?
What could be airing on the upcoming Disney streaming service?
Star Wars
Will we get a Disney produced box set?
What about the 3D releases?
Will we finally get the original Unaltered Trilogy?
In other Star Wars news, Lucasfilm has officially announced that Carrie Fisher will be appearing in Episode IX via unused footage from The Force Awakens. Plus, two more names have been announced in Richard E Grant and Naomi Acke.
And of course, Episode IX looks to be the final Star Wars movie in the Skywalker saga. Does this mean the end of the “Episode Format”?
The second half of the show is devoted to panels from San Diego Comic-Con. Mainly the Arrowverse shows, but there’s a little bit of Wonder Woman and Shazam talk. The panels are linked below
