Bizzlecast Podcast By The Bizzle

Yes we know it's been a few weeks but after the mindblowing politically radical ending to THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER we just had to re-release our WANDAVISION Party Spectacular. Coming later this week, an extended NEW intro discussion with Jason Jimbo Ritter about these two fantastic shows we've gotten already from the MCU on Disney Plus and more great stuff to come with LOKI, HAWKEYE, and more!

A BizzleCast Politique - FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER was far more radical politically than anyone saw coming. Marvel Studios talking as radical as Malcom X? Believe it.

Because we fans of THE WITCHER have already learned to reconcile differences and/or contradictions between Book Lore and Video Game Lore (and really it doesn't bother us much at all), the fight over what's "Canon" and what's not -- see: STAR WARS Canon vs. Legends/EU etc. -- hasn't been much of an issue with the TV series on Netflix and is really liberating to Lauren Hissrich and the filmmakers there. Here's a quick summation of how this fortunate set of circumstances came to be by yours truly, The Bizzle.

Wherein I predict 16 months ago in 98 seconds that Hailee Steinfeld and Alena Smith’s DICKINSON would challenge THE MANDALORIAN as the biggest, best, most-watched streaming service launch show #HumbleBrag #BizzleCast (ed.)

Tease: Ahsoka Tano is my Party Leader! With STAR WARS back on top and the impending released of WONDER WOMAN 1984 which should be DC Comics biggest and best film release yet, combined with the spectacular and still growing success of CRITICAL ROLE and the rebirth of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, it felt like the perfect time to re-release this fantastically fun and nerdy two-part BizzleCast with long-time BizzleCast contributor Matty G. We take all the major DC Comics superheroes (Matt) and Star Wars legends (Biz) and figure out which ones fit the classic 12-class Dungeons & Dragons mythos archetypes, leading to a 7-member party out of those 12. It’s even nerdier but also funnier and more entertaining than you think, and one of my favorite podcast ideas AND executions ever. Thank you Matty G!

It’s crazy to think this classic Bizzle rant ft. the great Simi Climo was waaay back in **AUGUST of 2019** when we first thought Hailee Steinfeld was *CONFIRMED* to be Kate Bishop. While we were forced to suffer for almost a year and a half before getting our first photos of Hailee filming with Jeremy Renner aka Hawkeye in NYC (and she does indeed look SPECTACULAR in the Purple & Black!!!) we finally got her where she belongs — as a major Avenger for the near future and, in this Bizzle’s opinion, the future leader of the Avengers taking over from Captain America (more on that in an upcoming podcast with Jason Ritter about Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda aka the Scarlett Witch). This is a fun one, glad we finally got our girl!!! (2021 update note & Possible trigger warning: we all still thought Joss Whedon was awesome all around 2 years ago, but I don’t want to mess with history by cutting out a couple minutes of praising him because hey, he indeed put Babs Gordon on WB’s radars where she should’ve been all along.

Hey guys - I actually have a BizzleCast for you! As I prepare for the release of my book and BizzleCast 2.0 which will involve interviews, videocasts, audiobooks, deep-dive podcast miniseries on science, politices, and more — I’m thrilled to bring you a video games podcast with my good old buddy and ORIGINAL BizzleCast Senior Contributor Adam Tuck. GAME AWARDS 2020 have a fantastic slate of nominees, and we run through them as far as we can in the limited time we have. But ultimately it comes down to HADES and THE LAST OF US PART 2, two extremely different games from two extremely different companies. Who will come out on top? How did ANIMAL CROSSING cause such a worldwide sensation? And much more... enjoy, Bizzlers!

Set photos and casting roles continue to bolster the BizzleCast Prediction that Team Witcher is not going to stop at the end of THE BLOOD OF ELVES (Ciri Saga Book 1) for the end of Season Two on Netflix but in fact would ***go deep into Ciri Saga Book 2, THE TIME OF CONTEMPT*** having to do with getting the main bad guys and plot going sooner than later.... ***This podcast contains *MAJOR SPOILERS* for Book Two of the Ciri Saga, THE TIME OF CONTEMPT, so I highly recommend you get through at least half of that book as I will be putting forth a theory having to do with that book appearing in the upcoming Season Two rather than waiting for Season Three and has some MAJOR reveals. Be warned and enjoy!**** PODCAST: https://soundcloud.com/jessemodiba/a-bizzlecast-prophecy-fulfilled-the-witcher-set-photos-confirm-bizs-biggest-season-2-prediction

2018: AU’s awesomest nerd journalist Alaisdair Leith of Novastream and Leithal Live returns!! It’s been almost 15 years since I first spent time in Africa and fell in love with the people of the Light Continent, so I need all the perspective possible on what people new to African culture think of BLACK PANTHER. Luckily, I have awesome friends and colleagues coming on to talk about it, and it’s fitting that Alaisdair from Novastream Network is the first, as you’ll hear in a podcast that I think holds up great and Alaisdair has some great insights that are even truer today.

***Dedicated to the immortal Chadwick Boseman*** A Love Letter To Africa: THE BLACK PANTHER shines so brilliantly that its few flaws are clear to see while simultaneously being rendered irrelevant by its glorious vision. I have a long, love-filled relationship with Africa both personally and at one time professionally in the African music business, and it still brings tears of pure joy to this Bizzle’s eyes to watch the world witness and embrace it through this great film by Ryan Coogler. Flawless casting, kinetic action, and Oscar-level drama at all the right points — I’m absolutely thrilled and honored to be able to do this. Blessings, fam, and thank you. #ReverseHeartOfDarkness *MUSIC BY THE AMAZING LUDWIG GORRANSON* ALL RIGHTS RESERVED by The BizzleCast (Jesse F. Brenner) (2020)

I feel pretty good about these, you guys let me know what you think. These are not based on any spoilers coming out of the production but simply reading the books tons of times and watching THE WITCHER Season One on Netflix a whole bunch. BE WARNED: These five predictions assume you have either read THE BLOOD OF ELVES which is the first book in the Ciri Saga and the basis of Season Two, OR you are cool with hearing some of the major events of that book. 2ND WARNING: The 5th and final prediction contains potential *MAJOR SPOILERS* for Book Two of the Ciri Saga, THE TIME OF CONTEMPT, so I highly recommend you get through at least half of that book as I will be putting forth a theory having to do with that book appearing in the upcoming Season Two rather than waiting for Season Three and has some MAJOR reveals. Be warned and enjoy! *AMAZING COMPOSITION FOR THE WITCHER SERIES BY THE AWESOME SONYA BELOUSOVA* *THANKS TO DODGER, ALISON HAISLIP, ALEX ALBRECHT, and SAM “STRIPPIN” FOR THEIR BIZZLE-ING* ALL RIGHTS R

DC Fandome aka Comic-Con was a MASSIVE success, and DC Comics superfan Alaisdair Leith from Australia’s Novastream and his brand Leithal Live is here to break down the two phenomenal looking video games, GOTHAM KNIGHTS (we got Barbara Gordon!!) and SUICIDE SQUAD: KILL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE. Other video games on the docket are ASSASSIN’S CREED ODYSSEY which we are *obsessed* with as well as THE WITCHER 3 and THE WITCHER series, ANIMAL CROSSING, STARDEW VALLEY, all the amazing PS4 Exclusives, and thoughts about the next generation of consoles. So great to have him back, join us to nerd out on the best video games of this past few years and some DC talk as always.

DC Fandome aka Comic-Con 2020: THE BATMAN Exclusive with Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves! And then a mind-blowing first trailer... What can you say - the brilliant, sensitive, eccentric, electric young actor who will probably end up being the best, longest serving, and/or most definitive Bruce Wayne/Batman in Robert Pattinson; followed by a phenomenally thoughtful, insightful, and engaging look into the making of THE BATMAN series with genius director Matt Reeves with an assist from the lovely and super cool Aisha Tyler. This is a MUST WATCH, and following (what we thought was) a spectacular first trailer for THE BATMAN, Jason "Jimbo" Ritter and I do a quick wrap-up of a mostly very successful day for DC Comics on film.

WONDER WOMAN is back with the incredible Gal Gadot! THE BATMAN already shaping up spectacularly with Robert "Battinson" and Zoe Kravitz leading the way. Time to cast yourselves back to the *last* great Batman movie (sorry BvS fans just our opinions) that was rated great at the time but seems to have aged not so well among super fans, especially after Joss Whedon's Avengers took the world by storm mere months before THE DARK KNIGHT RISES was released in the summer of 2012. It’s a huge week for Batman and DC fans with DC Comic-Con this Saturday! Here’s a little 5-course appetizer to whet your appetite, loyal BizzleCasters. Despite it’s problems - and there are problems and we will discuss them and determine if they are "game-breaking" (spoiler alert: we love this movie so not a whole not a lot of big mega cheese fries full of problems). We LOVE this movie, and you’ll see why (spoiler alert: the cast is one of the greatest ever assembled and every one of them put in 110% or more to try and make an inconsisten

A brand new BizzleCast show about DC Comics starring Jason “Jimbo” Ritter! Aug. 22: Who will show up at DC Fandome aka Comic-Con? New Wonder Woman trailer? THE BATMAN photography has begun in London!
