Kristian Harloff is back for another SUPER SIZED ep of the Kristian Harloff Show. We open today with Emmy award producer Andew Fried who makes his return to the show. The pair talks Chef's Table, building a brand, changing with the times, funny stories and more.
Kristian and Kris Carr will break down the biggest movie and entertainment news of the day, led by a major update on the future of DC Studios. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the Warner Bros. Discovery/Paramount merger, a new report says James Gunn and Peter Safran are expected to remain as co-heads of DC Studios regardless of the outcome. What does that mean for the future of the DCU, Batman, Superman, and the projects currently in development?
Plus, the search for the next James Bond is heating up! Callum Turner, Jacob Elordi, and Paul Mescal are reportedly among the names on the Bond 26 shortlist, but another actor may have emerged as the new frontrunner. Who should replace Daniel Craig as 007, and what direction should the franchise take with its next Bond?
We also have a big Spider-Man: Brand New Day box office battle this weekend. Can Coyote vs. ACME or Ridley Scott's The Dog Stars finally knock Tom Holland's Spider-Man out of the top spot?
Then, The Penguin star Cristin Milioti addresses whether Sofia Falcone could return in The Batman Part II, and Ridley Scott confirms he's developing another Alien prequel that would bring back Michael Fassbender's David.
Today's show has major updates for DC Studios, James Bond, Spider-Man, The Batman Part II, and Alien. With James Gunn and Peter Safran reportedly staying in charge of DC regardless of the merger outcome, what could that mean for the long-term DCU plan? And as the race for the next 007 heats up, is Hollywood getting closer to finally announcing the new James Bond?
If you're a fan of DC Studios, James Gunn, Batman, James Bond, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Batman Part II, The Penguin, Alien, Ridley Scott, or the latest movie news, this episode is for you!
