Movie Trivia Schmoedown

The Minecraft movie is absolutely crushing expectations at the box office — and we’re breaking it all down on today’s episode of The Kristian Harloff Show. With over $300 million worldwide and $165 million domestic, this PG-rated fantasy comedy is now the biggest video game movie opening of all time, even beating out The Super Mario Bros. Movie! We’re diving into how this thing became such a phenomenon, why audiences are going wild in theaters, and what it means for Warner Bros. moving forward.

We kick things off with a full breakdown of the extended sneak peek at James Gunn’s “Superman”—including first impressions, character reveals, and why this might just be DC’s big comeback moment. Then we dive into Disney’s CinemaCon presentation, which offered new looks at “Avatar 3: Fire & Ash,” “Zootopia 2,” and even early footage from “Lilo & Stitch,” “Freaky Friday,” and the new Benedict Cumberbatch/Olivia Colman comedy “The Roses.” But perhaps the biggest update? The live-action “Tangled” remake has stalled indefinitely. We discuss why Disney might be rethinking its remake strategy. Marvel also made waves at CinemaCon, with Kevin Feige teasing “Avengers: Doomsday,” “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” and a wild reveal of Julia Garner as Silver Surfer. Plus, we got a few more details about “Thunderbolts” and what’s going on with Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes. Not to be outdone, Paramount d

Whether you call it the Superman Legacy trailer, the Superman reboot trailer, or just the new Superman movie — we’ve got you covered with all the juicy details. Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, and the rest of this stacked cast are front and center, and the hype for the Superman Legacy official trailer is real.

SPIDER-MAN 4: BRAND NEW DAY is official! Sony Pictures Entertainment took the stage at CinemaCon and dropped some major Marvel Studios news — including the full title for Spider-Man 4, a release date, and who’s back! On today’s episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break it all down — from Tom Holland’s video message to director Destin Daniel Cretton’s comments about Peter Parker’s new chapter. Spider-Man: Brand New Day promises a reset for the wall-crawler following the events of No Way Home, and it’s arriving July 31, 2026.

The MCU is once again in the spotlight as major Avengers: The Kang Dynasty leaks have surfaced online—and we’re diving into everything we’ve learned. On today’s episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the original plan for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, its evolution into Avengers: Doomsday, and what it all means for Marvel Phase 5, Secret Wars, and the future of the Multiverse Saga. Marvel Studios seems to have scrapped Kang as the main villain in favor of Doctor Doom—and for good reason. After Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania flopped and Jonathan Majors’ legal issues became a major concern, insiders say the studio lost faith in the Council of Kangs storyline. Now, with Stephen McFeely rewriting both Avengers 5 and Secret Wars, and the Russo Brothers returning to direct, the entire direction has shifted. We’re breaking down the leaked Kang Dynasty script that includes wild reveals like a Moon Knight team-up, Miles Morales’ MCU debut, a Deadpool 3 crossover, and even a Spider-Man: No Way Home reunio

Disney’s live-action Snow White has officially hit theaters… but the numbers aren’t exactly what the Mouse House was hoping for. Kristian Harloff and John Rocha are breaking it all down on today’s show! Did the online controversy and social media backlash play a role in Snow White falling short of expectations? Was the movie’s reception doomed from the start, or was it a case of audiences just not connecting with another remake? The guys discuss the latest reports showing Snow White pulling in just $43 million domestically and $44.3 million internationally, landing the film at an $87.3 million global total—far under the $65M domestic target. We’ll talk about Deadline’s comparison to Dumbo, the CinemaScore, and the film’s polarizing reactions. Plus, did Rachel Zegler’s casting really hurt or help in certain markets? And what about those claims that the film overperformed in conservative counties despite the “Snow Woke” criticism? But that’s not all! Kristian and Rocha also cover:
