#16 Halloween Special from The Ryde Hotel part 2

10/30/2023
Part 2 We go in the dinner room and the hotel rooms.... Fonseca joins the Napa City Ghosts and Legends walking tours with Ellen MacFarlane and Devin Sisk. This year they take on a tour of the Ryde Hotel located in Walnut Grove, Ca. Operating at the height of the prohibition Era, “Hotel Ryde” became notorious and surely enshrouded by a veil of exciting mystery. These days were not long lived. Three early raids on the Speakeasy discouraged business in the the late 20’s and a fourth, in 1930 led to the tunnel being sealed over forever and the bootleg booze went down the drain, both figuratively and factually speaking. While dinners were still served in the main dinning room, the hotel trade dwindled and the elegance faded. The lively riverboats, in time disappeared from the river taking with them much of the color and enchantment. The hotel was reduced to a dwelling place for migrant workers. The casino beneath became a massive storeroom where mounds of junk mingled with pieces of lovely imported furniture, boxes of small demitasse cups and other treasures, all growing moldy and dusty, guarding their well kept secrets from out of the past. Listen to what I hear and find in this haunted location and what happens to me! Fonseca

Universal Studios Hollywood is adding a Fast and the Furious roller coaster to its theme park. The coaster is going to have a drift effect like the cars in the movie do Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning director Christopher McQuarrie tells Games Radar that he almost used de-aging technology to make Tom Cruise appear younger at the beginning of the film. "Originally, there had been a whole sequence at the beginning of the movie that was going to take place in 1989, We talked about it as a cold open, we talked about it as flashbacks in the movie, we looked at de-aging. One of the big things about [the de-aging] I was looking at while researching, I kept saying, 'Boy, this de-aging is really good' or 'This de-aging is not so good.' Never did I find myself actually following the story. I was so distracted by an actor that I had known for however long was now suddenly this young person.” The Daily Star says Hugh Grant is under fire for playing an Oompa Loompa in the new Willy Wonka film. Little People actors are furious that he was cast as a little person. Former WWE wrestling star Hornswoggle says, “Don’t get me started on the forthcoming Willy Wonka movie. In Mel Stuart’s 1971 version, he cast 10 dwarfs to play the Oompa Loompas. In Tim Burton’s 2005 remake, the role went to 4ft 4in Gurdeep Roy, who was digitally cloned. So why has the role now gone to 5ft 11in Hugh Grant? People need to see real dwarf actors in blockbuster fantasy movies.” The Daily Mail says Jennifer Garner is taking boxing classes in Los Angeles to prepare for her role as Elektra in ''Deadpool 3’'. Tom Holland says getting sober has been one of the best things he's done in his life. Entertainment Tonight quotes him as saying, “I didn’t one day wake up and say I’m giving up drinking. I just, like many Brits had, had a very, very boozy December, Christmas time I was on vacation, I was drinking a lot, and I’ve always been able to drink a lot. I think I get my genes from my mum’s side in that thing, not I can, I can drink. And I decided to just give up for January. I just wanted to do dry January and all I could think about was having a drink. That’s all I could think about. I was waking up thinking about it. I was checking the clock, when’s at 12pm? And it just really scared me. I just was like, wow. Maybe. Maybe I have a little bit of an alcohol thing. So I sort of decided to punish myself and say, I’ll do February as well. I’ll do two months off. If I can do two months off, then I can prove to myself that I don’t have a problem. Two months go by and I was still really struggling. I felt like I couldn’t be social. I felt like I couldn’t go to the pub and have a lime soda. I couldn’t go out for dinner. I was really, really struggling and I started to really worry that maybe I had an alcohol problem.” The Daily Mail says Tom Cruise wants to star in a movie with Margot Robbie. A source tells the newspaper, 'He's got his eyes on his next project and wants Margot to be his leading lady. Tom and Margot made 'tentative plans' to meet up and discuss the project when they return to Los Angeles,

"Given that "at that time we (had) scratched the surface of AI, artificial intelligence. Think about that. Now over the course of decades, it has become a reality. So it's not any more fantasy or kind of futuristic. It is here today. And so this is the extraordinary writing of Jim Cameron. I can only take credit of the character that I played and the way I played it. But I mean, he has created this character. He has written it so well, he's written the movie so well, and that's why he is, you know, the number one director in the world.” Harrison Ford tells Deadline Hollywood that the only reason he was cast as Indiana Jones is because Tom Selleck had a previous obligation. ''How I got the job? Tom Selleck had the job, but he also incurred an obligation to do a television series and he was unable to get out of that contract. I became the ‘second’ choice, and I’m very grateful for Tom. Thank you, Tom, man. If you’re listening, thank you again.''''Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny'' opens Friday

She is perhaps best known for the role of Suzy Song in the 1998 film Smoke Signals, an adaptation of a Sherman Alexie collection of short stories, as well as for providing the speaking voice for the titular character in the 1995 animated film Pocahontas.[2] Bedard reprised her role as Pocahontas in the film's direct-to-video follow-up, Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World (1998) and for a cameo in Ralph Breaks the Internet Collider magazine says work on the second Super Mario Bros movie has been halted because of the Hollywood Writers Strike T Paramount+ is developing a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV show. The series would take place after the upcoming Mutant Mayhem movie and may launch as soon as 2024. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he beat out OJ Simpson for the role of The Terminator because no one at Orion Pictures was convinced Simpson was a killer. The Daily Mail quotes Arnold as saying, ''During our conversation, it became clear no one was hooked to OJ Simpson playing Terminator because he could not be sold as a killing machine.’' Chris Hemsworth tells GQ magazine that his three children aren't fans of his Thor movies.“It’s a bunch of eight-year-olds critiquing my film. ‘We thought this one had too much humour, the action was cool but the VFX weren’t as good'. I cringe and laugh equally at it. It’s always hard being in the center of it and having any real perspective… I love the process, it’s always a ride. But you just don’t know how people are going to respond.” The JoBlo movie website says filming on ''Deadpool 3'' has begun. Ryan Reynolds is not allowed to improvise on the set because of the writer's strike. He can't use new lines for the film because he is officially credited as a writer on it. The Writer's Union has guidelines that do not allow lines to be changed when a movie is filming during a strike. Media Entertainment Arts says there is a growing number of people, who want Chris Pratt to replace Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones.The Internet reacts ...“We shouldn’t have to raise Harrison Ford from the dead to enjoy another #IndianaJones adventure. After seeing Chris Pratt in both GotG & Jurassic World, he became my new candidate for a recast. It’s not hard.''“I may get heat for this but Chris Pratt as Indiana Jones would rock.”“I hope they continue the Indiana Jones franchise and cast Chris Pratt as Indy.”“If they ever decided to make a rebooted version of Indiana Jones in the near future? The only two individuals I could see playing Indy? Are Chris Pratt or Bradley Cooper? Both of which have worked for Disney before and look like Harrison Ford.” Entertainment Tonight says Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd are reuniting for a new horror comedy called ''Zombie Town''. The movie is about a film that turns an entire town into zombies before two teenagers save everyone. Chevy and Dan haven't worked together since the 1991 movie "Nothing, But Trouble".

Look how many characters and great talent there is in the movie. There was no way I can pull that off unless I had everyone on for five seconds. These characters are appealing and we need to see more of them.” Fast and the Furious producer Neil Moritz tells Entertainment Weekly that Timothy Olyphant, and not Vin Diesel, was the movie studio's first choice to play Dominic Toretto. “The studio said, "If you get Timothy Olyphant to play the role of Dominic Toretto, the movie's greenlit. We went to Tim and he passed, and we wondered if we were going to get to make it.”As for Diesel, Neil says, “I remember I'm sitting at the bar waiting for him, and, boy, when those doors opened, it was like there was a klieg light on him — here comes the biggest star in the world.

#5 Fonseca talks with Maria Canals-Barrera actress and voice of Hawk Girl

5/23/2023
Maria Canals-Barrera is an American actress. She is known for starring as Theresa Russo in the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place (2007–2012), Connie Torres in Camp Rock (2008) and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (2010), and Daniela in the ABC comedy series Cristela (2014–2015). Canals-Barrera has voiced Shayera Hol/Hawkgirl in a lead role in Justice League (2001–2004) and Justice League Unlimited (2004–2006) and in a guest appearance in Static Shock as part of the DC Animated Universe, Sunset Boulevardez in The Proud Family (2001–2005) and Paulina in Danny Phantom (2004–2007). On the Show: Disney Fans Overrunning Austrian Village That Inspired "Frozen": The NY Post says the Austrian village that inspired the movie ''Frozen'' has shut down it's lakefront viewing area because it is being overrun by tourists. The town of Hallstatt has 750 residents. Over 7,000 people a day are now visiting the city because of the Disney film. Mayor Alexander Scheutz was left with no choice, but to shut down the viewing area due to heavy traffic and privacy concerns. Gizmodo says Disney is opening a theme park based on the movie ''Frozen''.The park is part of Hong Kong Disneyland's expansion. It will open later this year. The Liverpool Echo newspaper says a bar, inspired by the Top Gun movies, is going to open in Merryside, England. The bar is called Maverick's. It will feature a jukebox, vintage neon signs, an American flag and a Statue of Liberty. Owner Andrew Mikhail says, "Top Gun is my favorite film of all time and so the bar just had to have a nod to the iconic Tom Cruise film. There's one thing that holds true for all American dive bars: If you visit one, you're always going to have a story to tell later, and that is what we want to achieve with Maverick’s". Uproxx says Eddie Murphy is in talks to star in the next Pink Panther movie as Inspector Clouseau. Amazon owns the rights to the Pink Panther franchise FanFest says Bradley Cooper has allegedly turned down the role of Lex Luthor in the upcoming ''Superman: Legacy'' movie. The film is going to be released on July 11th, 2025. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to play Conan the Barbarian again. Ace Showbiz quotes him as saying; "It's been pending for the last ten years. [Fredrik] Malmberg owns the rights. He comes to me and says, 'Oh, I have a deal with Netflix' and when we ask Netflix, they don't know anything about it. It's one of those crazy things. I hope he figures it out. I think you do it like 'Unforgiven', where you play the age. There's a great script out there that John Milius wrote, and others have written one. The story is there. There are directors who want to do it. But he has the rights, and until he sells the rights for one or two movies, or for the franchise, there's nothing you can do about it."Arnold Schwarzenegger tells The Hollywood Reporter that he is done playing the Terminator. “The franchise is not done. I’m done. I got the message loud and clear that the world wants to move on with a different theme when it comes to The Terminator. Someone has to come up with a great idea. The Terminator was largely responsible for my success, so I always would look at it very fondly. The first three movies were great. Number four [Salvation] I was not in because I was governor. Then five [Genisys] and six [Dark Fate] didn’t close the deal as far as I’m concerned. We knew that ahead of time because they were just not well written.” Michael J Fox tells Variety magazine that he doesn't care if ''Back to the Future'' gets rebooted. “I’m not fanatical. Do what you want. It’s your movie. I got paid already. I don’t think it needs rebooting because are you going to clarify something? You’re going to find a better way to tell the story? I doubt it.”Christopher Lloyd, aka Doc Brown, says, “I would love to do a sequel, but I think Bob Zemeckis and [producer Steven] Spielberg felt that they told the story in the three episodes. But if somebody has a brilliant idea that would...

These are separate ticket events that take place on a select number of nights each year. Special exclusive Star Wars characters will be out in the parks. Last year we loved seeing the Ewoks. Characters mentioned already for the 2023 event include Captain Phasma and her Stormtroopers appearing in Tomorrowland and the Tusken Raider and Jawas.There will also be a lightsaber instructional demonstration where you'll learn to handle a lightsaber through a series of elite moves to bring our your inner Jedi.Guests will also receive a commemorative credential and guide map as well as unlimited downloads of Disney PhotoPass digital photos taken during the party. (Credentials and maps are limited to one per ticketed person.)You'll also find Star Wars-themed eats and treats, merchandise, photo opportunities, and more.Star Wars costumes are encouraged though guests will still have to follow the Disneyland costume policy. The main entertainment showstopper is the Star Wars themed fireworks which take place at 9:30PM. This is definitely the not miss event of the evening! Star Wars fans will love this fireworks show. My favorite part was easily the snippet featuring Duel of Fates. The fans in the crowd went wild for this- myself included!But the fireworks are such a big draw that you can easily use this time to take advantage of shorter character lines!Other notable entertainment options include:

We had hundreds of hours of footage of him in close-ups, in mediums, in wides, in every kind of lighting, night and day.

But at the same time, I'm very, very precious with it. It's like this little shiny thing that I have that I love so much, and I just don't want to mess up in any way, and I was a part of something that was so special for the special period of time and in a way, it really landed so well. As much as I'm connected to that role and love telling those stories and working with...

He is known for The Mask of Zorro (1998), The Air I Breathe (2007) and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) Voices on Batman Beyond and Justice League. ET's Call Home Would Cost $76 Quadrillion: The telecommunications provider TollFreeForwarding says ET's famous phone call home would cost $76 quadrillion dollars because his home planet of Brodo Asogi is 3 million miles away. For comparison purposes, it costs less than a dollar to call the International Space Station and $900 to call the Moon. It would cost $3 million dollars to call someone on Saturn Michael J.Fox tells Entertainment Tonight that he has an idea for a ''Back to the Future'' reboot. "I actually had this thought that if they did the movie again, they should do it with a girl as Marty. There’s something about it that connects with people on every level. I just feel like it will come around again. What’s most amazing about Back to the Future is that -- and it has nothing to do with me -- but it has this life. People don’t just like it and remember it, they celebrate it and embrace it and get my face tattooed on their leg, and I mean, it’s crazy but in a good way.” Avatar director James Cameron ripped Marvel and DC yesterday during an interview with the NY Times newspaper. He said, “When I look at these big, spectacular films — I’m looking at you, Marvel and DC — it doesn’t matter how old the characters are, they all act like they’re in college. They have relationships, but they really don’t. They never hang up their spurs because of their kids. The things that really ground us and give us power, love, and a purpose? Those characters don’t experience it, and I think that’s not the way to make movies.”
