Dune Part Two Movie Discussion | The Cosmic Circle Ep. 51

 
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 | Cosmic Cafe

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 | Cosmic Cafe

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 | Cosmic Cafe

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.
