After years of being in the industry, Taylor Sheridan finally made his presence known to people worldwide through Yellowstone, which became an instant hit among fans as soon as it was released. And yet, despite being one of the actor cum director’s best-ever projects to date, the series still seemingly faces the wrath of critics, as Sheridan himself admitted it.

That said, the 54-year-old cowboy never hesitated to respond back to all of those critics either. In fact, if anything, he used that very star-studded Kevin Costner-led series to troll critics as a response to their critical reviews on the same. And now, the Wind River helmer seems to have finally revealed the real reason behind just why his genius decided to take this approach.

We've been hearing whispers about a potential small-screen 300 spin-off for years, and it seems a series may finally be moving forward - but it more than likely will not be based on Frank Miller's graphic novel or the movie adaptations that followed.
According to scooper Mttsh, a "300 TV series is officially in development."
We don't have any more to go on for now, but THR recently reported that Zack Snyder, who helmed the 2006 movie, had regained the rights to Blood and Ashes, which was originally pitched to Warner Bros. as a follow-up to 300 and its sequel, Rise of an Empire.
The story, which Snyder began writing while working on Army of the Dead, moves away from the Spartans to focus on the relationship between Alexander the Great and his second in command, Haphaestion.
“We got the rights back so we can make if we want it,” Snyder told the trade in a 2023 interview.

At 29 years old, Quentin Tarantino made his directorial debut with "Reservoir Dogs." With its punchy pacing and electric performances, it was a brash, violent film that put him on the map as an audacious new storyteller. From his humble beginnings as a Video Archives store clerk to the script landing in Harvey Keitel's hands, Tarantino was able to raise $1.5 million to make the movie and debut it at the Sundance Film Festival.
Duane Byrge from The Hollywood Reporter covered the overwhelming audience response to the searing film: "[T]his plug gutter is wiping out audiences here at the Sundance Film Festival. Those who survive it emerge in a shell-shocked euphoria — so good and so blunt is the writing." Miramax won the subsequent bidding war, but although distribution was secured, the road to release was rocky.

With Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. became an A-list star and the face of one of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters ever in 2008. Of course, there was one actor who left the superhero flick feeling completely let down by Marvel Studios.

But don’t worry, it seems Howard has moved on and has no ill will toward the franchise or his former co-star, Downey Jr., despite his initial shock and disappointment at not being cast as Rhodes in the later films.

Taylor Sheridan began his career as an actor but shot to fame as a writer with TV shows such as Yellowstone and Tulsa King, and movies such as Sicario and Wind River. Sheridan’s works are known for their explorations of rural American life and often see a clash between traditional American life and modernity.
One of the primary examples of this school of thought is the Kevin Costner starrer Yellowstone. The show has garnered a dedicated fan following and constantly has a massive viewership, despite not impressing critics. Sheridan reportedly mentioned that he knows that critics hate his show as there is ‘no plot’ in it and is designed to be hated.

Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver” debuted on Netflix on April 19. Critical pans aside (IndieWire’s David Ehrlich called Part Two “almost as disastrous” as Part One and gave it a D. Perhaps David’s the real “Scargiver.”), the sequel to the 2023 “Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire” became the streamer’s biggest film (in any language) for the week of April 15-21. It was watched for 44.2 million hours; based on its 2:04 runtime, Netflix translates that to 21.4 million views.
On the March 6 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Snyder said “Rebel Moon — Part One” was seen by more people (on Netflix) than the smash-hit “Barbie” (in theaters).
“Say right now, [Part One is] like almost 90 million views… 80 or 90 million accounts turned it on, give or take,” Snyder told Rogan. “They assume two viewers per screen, right? So that’s 160 million people supposedly watching… at $10 a ticket,...

To quote Robert Downey Jr. in ‘Infinity War,’ “Your math is blowing my mind.” Last month, director Zack Snyder appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience (you can watch/listen below) to promote his latest film, “Rebel Moon: Part Two” (read our review). Among many of the comments made and stories told, Snyder suggested that more people saw his movie on Netflix than “Barbie” in theaters, a hot take the director used to defend using “Netflix math.”
Pulling 160 million viewers seemingly out of the air, Snyder tried to make a 1:1 comparison between theater tickets sold and the number of people streaming, which is tricky and dubious given dozens of reasons.

Zack Snyder made waves during a March appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” when he claimed that his critically panned space opera “Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire” was seen by more people when it dropped on Netflix than “Barbie” was during its massive theatrical run. The comments earned him plenty of criticism from cinephiles who felt that he was minimizing the importance of movie theaters, but the director is standing by the math that led him to make the claim.
“You think about Netflix, for instance, where you push a button. ‘Rebel Moon,’ right? Say right now, it’s like almost 90 million views… 80 or 90 million accounts turned it on, give or take,” Snyder said at the time. “They assume two viewers per screen, right? That’s the math… so that’s 160 million people supposedly watching. One hundred and sixty million people at $10 a ticket, that’s $1.6 billion.

At one point in “Little Empty Boxes,” Kathy Lugavere looks into the camera and struggles to find the words to describe her feelings about dementia. Her case is severe enough to rob her of independence, but new enough that she could still remember what life was like before it hit. After fruitlessly searching for a metaphor, she ends up saying that all of her boxes used to be full, but now they’re empty. When asked what she meant by that, she declines to elaborate.
The vague yet haunting imagery creates a fitting title for Max Lugavere’s new documentary, which follows the nutrition influencer as he struggles to manage his mother’s simultaneous battles with dementia and Parkinson’s Disease. Despite building a thriving career as an anti-carb crusader in Los Angeles, America’s most fitness-obsessed city by a considerable margin, Max began to recognize signs of his mother...

Robert Downey Jr. played a Method actor in Ben Stiller’s comedy “Tropic Thunder” and things got meta on set. In a new GQ video interview, Downey’s co-star Danny McBride remembered accidentally hearing Downey going Method himself and staying in character as he went to take a bathroom break in between takes.
McBride played an explosives expert in the film and was given an earpiece to communicate with the set as his character was perched in a watchtower above the production. It turns out the earpiece was connected to the microphones of several of the cast and crew down below.
“I guess during one of the takes, they had left Downey’s mic on, and so I’m sitting up there, and I’m like, ‘Oh shit, I can hear what he’s saying,'” McBride said. “He was talking to people, and he was in character the whole time.

Being one of the most revered boxers and Mma fighters in history, the Irishman recently mentioned that acting was much harder than trading blows in the Octagon. He said that he found it to be more daunting as there was more than just fighting and stunts.

Actor Kevin Conroy has been synonymous with Batman ever since he rendered his voice to the character in Batman: The Animated Series. The actor has gone on to lend his voice to Batman and Bruce Wayne in other media such as the Arkham games as well as WB’s DC Animated Universe films such as Batman: The Killing Joke and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
While Conroy has been known for his particular brand of performing the iconic superhero, he reportedly had issues with the way Zack Snyder depicted him in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016. The voice actor reportedly had issues, particularly with Batman’s penchant for killing in the film as he is famously known for his ‘no-kill’ rule.

The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Mitchell’s rep and Spotify for comment.
In January 2022, Mitchell announced that she was removing her music catalogue from the streamer in solidarity with Young. “I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify,” she wrote on her website at the time. “Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives. I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.”

Joe Rogan is widely regarded as the most popular podcaster on Spotify. Now, there’s public data that backs up that assertion. A new feature launched by Spotify allows users to track the follower counts of specific podcasts, and The Joe Rogan Experience has nearly three times more followers than the next show on the list.
Bloomberg located the follower counts of top podcasts by relying on a feature Spotify has been testing over the past month. The unnamed tool lets users swipe through episode previews and follow podcasts that pique their interests. Each show’s total follower count is listed as part of that display.
According to that public count, The Joe Rogan Experience has 14.5 million followers on Spotify. No other podcast listed in Bloomberg‘s report has more than five million followers. The list of shows with seven-digit follower counts includes several creator-led programs, such as Alex Cooper...

Joni Mitchell has quietly followed Neil Young and put her music back on Spotify.
Unlike Young, there was no official statement from Mitchell or her camp announcing or explaining the decision. Rather, it was fans on social media who noticed her catalog was back and spread with the news with all-caps fervor: “Joni Mitchell Music Back On Spotify This Is Not A Drill,” tweeted one user.

Neil Young is ending his two-year Spotify boycott.
The celebrated singer is returning his music to the audio giant after Joe Rogan signed a $250m deal to make his podcast available on multiple platforms, rather than remaining a Spotify exclusive.
Young withdrew his music from Spotify in January 2022 due to its support for Rogan, and a number of big-name artists including his former bandmates Crosby, Stills and Nash followed suit.
Young’s issue with Spotify was that the platform was backing a podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, helmed by someone who was spreading vaccine misinformation.
Young yesterday indicated that his music’s return to the platform does not reflect a reversal of his stance against Rogan. He has previously said that Spotify represented 60% of his streaming revenue globally, leading to a “huge loss” for his record company.

“I’m Batman” is one of the defining lines in all of superhero movies. And while a number of actors have uttered it and tried to make it their own, to director Zack Snyder, there’s only one man who is truly Batman. Except it has nothing to do with their inherent skills but rather their hulking, bulky look in the costume…which is about the most Zack Snyder take we can expect. And that Batman is Ben Affleck.
Appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience (via Cbr) earlier this week, Zack Snyder said that the size of Ben Affleck was what drew him to cast the star. “I wanted Affleck, because, to me, Batman’s a big dude…Affleck’s 6’4”, you know? He’s a legit big dude. And the shoes, the boots are like two inches, so he’s literally almost 6’6” in the costume. When he comes out in the costume – I mean,...

Zack Snyder still stands by his choice of actors in the Dceu movies, especially Batman actor Ben Affleck. While fans retrospectively show more love towards Henry Cavill’s Superman, not many seem to share the same feelings for Affleck. For Snyder, though, the Gone Girl actor is a better choice for the Caped Crusader than Christian Bale. Snyder also revealed a reason behind this controversial revelation, which some comic book fans may find valid.

Snyder shared that he preferred a bulkier Batman and found the perfect casting in Affleck who looked the part. However, Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight films cast Christian Bale in the lead role, who was a smaller Batman compared to the comics.

It has been quite a while since Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. had been talked about in the same sentence. Since the release of the filmmaker’s version of Justice League was demanded to be released by the fans, things have been tense. Even so, the failed Dceu will always be part of Snyder’s legacy in cinema, which, more often than not, will overshadow all of his wonderful creations.

By the look of it, Zack Snyder’s Gerard Butler-led 2007 action-adventure movie, 300, seems to be dominated by alpha males with violence radiating through their eyes. However, Snyder, co-writer and the director of the movie, feels differently.

While the director confirmed the episodic rerun of the popular action saga adding up to its universe, he explained that there might be some elements of homoeroticism. In its essence, Snyder emphasized that he would make what Frank Miller and Lynn Varley’s comic book dictates. Also, the director sees his 2007 movie to be one of the gayest movies ever made.

Zack Snyder said in a recent interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience” that he doesn’t understand when fans’ hatred of his work becomes personal. Amid poor reviews for his latest directorial effort, Netflix’s “Rebel Moon,” Snyder read one article that referred to him as a “love him or hate him” filmmaker.
“I have no issue with you not liking the movie,” Snyder said. “That’s not the question. Who cares? The thing is, like, you would personalize. You’d hate me because of it. I don’t understand that.”
Snyder had to deal with a lot of fan hatred when he greatly upset comic book movie fans with the 2016 release of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” which featured a more aggressive version of Batman. Ben Affleck’s iteration of the superhero was one who branded criminals and even killed some of his enemies. The choice ignited outrage...

300 was a highly stylized retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae adapted from the comic by Frank Miller, and director Zack Snyder recently spoke about the movie on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Although historians have found plenty of evidence of homosexuality in Ancient Greece, 300 doesn’t really touch upon it. When asked if he ever thought “about putting a bunch of gay stuff in there,” Snyder replied that he was adapting a comic, not real history. However, the director did say that he’s been talking about a 300 series which would include more of those elements.
“It’s Frank’s book. I made what Frank wrote,” Snyder said. “And we’ve been talking about doing a series where I really wanted to introduce those concepts a lot more because I just feel like it’s important. If we go forward and do more in the ‘300’ universe,...

Zack Snyder is eyeing a “300” TV series with a subversive twist.
The “Rebel Moon” director revealed during an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast (in the below video) that following his 2007 film and its subsequent 2014 sequel “300: Rise of an Empire,” he wants to explore the historic cinematic universe by way of an episodic structure.
“All my movies are just a little bit weird, in a good way. ‘300,’ for all the like coolness of it as far as like ‘Yeah, let’s go fight,’ it’s still a weirdo movie,” Snyder said.
Podcast host Rogan asked the filmmaker, “Did you ever think about putting a bunch of gay stuff in there?” to which Snyder pointed to Frank Miller and Lynn Varley’s comic book that he adapted for “300.”

“Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb!” Zack Snyder lit the fuse of several fandoms while appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience after saying Batman is “irrelevant” if he can’t kill, and more people saw Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire on Netflix than Greta Gerwig’s billion-dollar cinematic sensation, Barbie, in theaters. During his chin-wag with Rogan, Snyder expressed his gratitude for partnering with Netflix for several projects, including Army of the Dead, Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire, and upcoming features like Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas, Planet of the Dead, and Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver.
According to Zack Snyder, he’s done the math and believes more people streamed the first chapter of his Rebel Moon saga on Netflix than Gerwig’s $1.4 billion grossing pink-coded box office blockbuster. Math was never my strong subject in school,...

He came into the limelight with movies like 300 (2006) and Watchmen (2009), and then went on to establish the Dceu with movies like Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the directorial cut of the 2017 release, Justice League.

Zack Snyder appeared on “The Joe Rogan Experience” and championed his recent pivot to Netflix. The 58-year-old filmmaker spent the bulk of his career making movies at Warner Bros., but he made the jump to streaming starting with the 2021 release of his zombie action movie “Army of the Dead.” Snyder’s latest Netflix original was “Rebel Moon,” which debuted in December and kicked off a new space saga for the streaming giant. A second “Rebel Moon” film arrives this spring.
During a two-hour conversation with Joe Rogan, Snyder marveled at the reach Netflix has compared to traditional film studios. He ran some math to prove his point and deduced that “Rebel Moon,” despite being panned by film critics, probably got seen by more people than Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” a box office powerhouse with $1.4 billion worldwide (which made it the highest grossing film of 2023 and Warner Bros.’ top grosser in history).

Call of Duty nourished an era of competitive gamers, playing in open lobbies as they showcase their skills and how well attuned they are to the gameplay and knowledge of various maps but have gone a step too far with excessive cheating and exploits that even Joe Rogan can’t believe. The sports commentator is all about fairness and sportsmanship but after witnessing how players use dishonorable tactics and cheats to win is something he wishes to go away.
Unfortunately, cheating is everywhere and just in gaming, companies have taken preventative measures in the past but worked to no avail. Cheaters have discovered ways how to bypass the security of games where they can now produce certain mods that will give players specific advantages. It is sad to see well-respected franchises like Call of Duty be desecrated by this mischievous act.

It’s been a strange few weeks for Saturday Night Live. Two weeks ago, during a night hosted by Madame Web actress Dakota Johnson, cast members Bowen Yang and Sarah Sherman distanced themselves from Dave Chappelle when the transphobic comedian crashed SNL’s goodbye segment at show’s end. Then, last week, the show laundered Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s racist Civil War denialism. Now, America’s premier sketch-comedy series has decided to welcome Shane Gillis to host.
Back in 2019, SNL announced that Gillis would be joining the cast of the show.

The Joe Rogan Experience renews its deal with Spotify but moves to a non-exclusive distribution plan
Spotify is all-in to keep The Joe Rogan Experience on its streaming platform. Today, the music, podcast, and audiobook platform announced it’s inked a multi-year extension to host Rogan‘s top-rated program. However, rather than make Spotify the only place you can listen to The Joe Rogan Experience, the interview podcast is going non-exclusive, opening the door up for listeners across a spectrum of streaming services.
Other platforms set to host The Joe Rogan Experience include Apple, Amazon, and YouTube. Spotify began laying the groundwork for Rogan to expand his reach in 2023, and now that shift is happening. Instead of letting Rogan roam free, Spotify “will work closely with Joe and his team to continue to maximize the audience of the show across platforms.”
Streaming competitors have kept close watch over the expiration of Rogan’s current deal, which some estimate was for $200 million. Knowing other platforms would poach Rogan without hesitation,...

By 2018, Will Compton, a 28-year-old backup linebacker on a one-year contract with the Tennessee Titans, knew his playing days were numbered. Contemplating a career after football, he considered going into real estate or coaching but couldn’t muster much enthusiasm for either. Driving home after a game one evening, he called Taylor Lewan, an offensive tackle for the Titans and his closest friend on the team, with whom he’d just done a postgame segment on Titans Radio. The two, who had bonded over their fondness for podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience, had undeniable chemistry on the air, and the experience got them thinking about starting their own podcast. For Lewan, who had just signed a six-year deal with the Titans, it sounded like a fun time. For Compton, it was a go-for-broke career plan. The following year, they launched Bussin’ With the Boys.

Some have come down on Downey Jr. in recent years for doing Blackface in the film, but the actor has never agreed with the backlash.

Podcast creators on Spotify and YouTube keep hearing it: if they post video versions of their episodes, they’ll reach more listeners and build stronger connections with their core audience.
James and Anthony Deveney, hosts of Raiders of the Lost Podcast, tell Tubefilter they think that’s true.
“Video podcasting is a format that we adopted day one with our show and moving to Spotify opened the door for us to share the video version of our podcast with as many listeners as possible,” they say. “We saw the signs of high engagement implementing video years ago, plus the potential for growth it offers by standing out in the booming industry of podcasts. Video gives us a personal connection to our listeners because they feel even more like they’re in the studio with us and Spotify has helped us achieve goals that were only dreams a few years ago.

MoistCr1tikal, Wendigoon, and Jackson Clarke have joined forces for a cryptid, conpiracy, and cult-themed podcast that swiftly rose to the #2 spot on U.S. podcast charts, beaten out only by longtime most-listened-to show The Joe Rogan Experience.
Each episode of Red Thread will “investigate the peculiar space just beyond reality,” according to the show’s official description.
Red Thread‘s debut ep followed an urban legend: the Goatman, already popularized on YouTube and in memes by skeptic-in-chief Shane Madej during an episode of and Ryan Bergara‘s hit series BuzzFeed Unsolved. Its second chronicles the bizarre final months of Charles Morgan, who lived a seemingly normal life until he vanished March 22, 1977, and reappeared three days later suffering from intense paranoia.
Both episodes are uploaded in video form on YouTube, with the first bringing in nearly 900,000 views, and the second bringing in just under 400,000.
