Welcome to Underworld. I reckon' it's raining here, as if you hear someone say "reckon'" on the streets of Budapest. I am @underworldpod, on Twitter, and hello we have a new url - underworldpod.com. You can also find us at: Soundcloud.com/underworldpod. (Backward slash, I am using the proper term today.) We are legit cohesive, homes. This is podcast exhibit C: Lady Mary Crawley.

Underworld News - Spoilers Abound in this podcast

1.  Underworld (2003) is available on Netflix this month, April 2015. geeksofdoom.com - Underworld Article

I just learned that Crackle is backed by Sony. I learned that from a Kate Bosworth tweet, the actress Bosworth- one of my favorite Lois Lane. Besides Man of Steel I've seen every actress portrayal of the Lane character. It's Amy Adams and she will hit it out of the ballpark. I'm sure she was good in that role. Yesterday, I listened to "Fat Man on Batman". Where Smith and Bernardin (did I pronounce that correct? Sorry, I'm bad with name pronunciation. No one pronounces my last name correctly, so it goes hand in hand.) talked about in the perfect movie world, Rosario Dawson would have Amy Adam's movie role career. How they project Dawson to achieve an Oscar someday. At least I hope she get's an Emmy nomination for Daredevil. Or, at least is in the mix. The first movie I saw Dawson in was Kids. Kids came out in 1995, Twenty years ago. Unbelievable. I'm scrolling down her IMDB page and a title catches my eye, "Raze", 2013. Surely, I would have gotten a memo about our favorite Lycan. It's not about him, but there are a lot of female actresses in this movie.

Back to crackle, Crackle is an online digital streaming service. How long will Underworld be on Netflix?  I don't know. If I learned anything you can't wait to watch something on Netflix because it's..oh, gone. I wanted to watch the 2011 movie "Red State" and now I can't find it on Netflix. Are Netflix searches like Google searches? Does the household income, level of education, and the location in which I live in determine which shows I can watch? What do I want to watch right now besides Underworld? Daredevil, Comic Book Men, Top Gear, Cranford and Red State. I still haven't watched "Bloodline" on Netflix, shhhh don't tell anyone. I'm in a Cranford mood. Maybe an actor from Cranford will be cast in Underworld? That's how I roll now. I watch things and think could this actor be in Underworld? I watched Turn last week on AMC. Or, the show formerly known as Turn with a reversed "N", now called Turn: Washington's Spies.  I like the guy who looks like Tom Hiddleston, JJ Feild who portrays Major Andre. Feild was also in the movie Austenland. However, if you like Underworld you will know Mr. Feild from Captain America - both action genre movies. But, if you watched U.A. (Underworld Awakening) for Theo James you may be familiar with Austenland. Going back, Cranford was on the BBC in 2007-2008 based on the novellas by Elizabeth Glaskell. Bessie, Dearest. Michelle Dockery, is in the Cranford series, but we will get to her later.

2. A headline from the Franchise Herald, which I have never heard of before. Underworld 5 movie cast will no longer include "Insurgent" star Theo James as Kate Beckinsale hints return in the franchise. Dated 4/6/15 article by Aurora Banks. 
No to Theo, Yes to Selene.


Thank you Aurora Banks. I love that name, Aurora, ever since I watched Sleeping Beauty as a tike. Top 5 Disney movies and Sleeping Beauty is on my list.  I don't think Aurora Banks is a real person. I digress.

This news item also appears on Christian Post and the Classicalite websites. It pretty much regurgitates the Digital Spy interview. We knew about this last month. Apparently they have not seen my first Underworld Next Generation casting bracket. Where Theo James is my Cinderella pick for N.G..





It's like in Downton Abbey season 1 where Lady Mary would rather talk to Kemel Pamuk, my Turkish lover, instead of Evelyn Napier and Cousin Matthew. Theo James is Lady Mary in this instance. Which is very meta because he is being charmed by himself. But, that is neither here nor there. Kemel Pamuk are other acting opportunities for Mr. James. (I think an Oscar is in his future. Allow him to be cast in a musical role, a successful Oscar campaign and presto.)

Like a chump the audience is Evelyn Napier standing next to Matthew who is Sony Pictures. Does that make any sense? Don't do it Lady Mary! Your virtue is at stake. Someday I'll diagram this scenario. 


Why can't Evelyn Napier come back as Lady Mary's consort? Oh, right she doesn't like him. Who is this Henry Talbot. Jumping into his 1927 Bentley (3 Litre, chassis number RE1400) in the Christmas episode of Season 5? It's the car of the future


Someone has to be Evelyn Napier and why not Underworldpod?



2a. Look at the dissension in this 2 1/2 year old picture. 



If it wasn't for Mr. James I would never have watched U.A.. Which was the first movie that I watched from the franchise. 



  March 23, 2015
Legit only watching Underworld Awakening for Theo #theojames #underworld #awakening



I too legit only watch U.A. for David.

I listened to a Howard Stern interview of comedian and actor Aziz Ansari. It is on Youtube, the 2014 interview. Around the 12 minute 49 second mark.  Aziz quotes Stern:

"The best part of making the deal, like that, is the announcement. After that it is all downhill."


Lucky for us, at Underworldpod, it only took 6 months for it (the announcement of Mr. James returning to the 5th movie) to go downhill.

2b. The Franchise Herald article also discusses casting two female leads. Will a new actor be portraying Eve? Will anyone from U.A. return to the 5th installment of Underworld? I would like to see Michelle Dockery in the Underworld series. From Downton to Underworld, with love. Where Theo James makes a cameo and Lady Mary kills him. 

Fast and Furious has proved that a 7th film can be successful. How to Fast and Furious the Underworld franchise? Chris Morgan magic. Wouldn't it be something if Michelle Rodriguez was in Underworld. She would be in Resident Evil and Underworld. 

If, only some actor was featured in Resident Evil, Underworld, Ghost Busters, Spider-Man and Men in Black then solve who hacked Sony Pictures. That person would win the Sony Golden Ticket. Playstations, TV's and Sony Bucks will fall from the sky. Is Sony Bucks still a commodity?


In an era where Star Trek meets Planet of the Apes in comic book form. When will we see Underworld meets Resident Evil? Not enough cash, brother. Did I do that justice?


I was listening to the What Say You Pod and I loved it when Let's Get Sexy and Patches say "Letty" together. When Letty, Michelle Rodriguez, is featured in the Post credit scene of Fast Five. I liked their analysis of the franchise. I would never have gotten Sandwich Crazy if it weren't for those pods. I use Sandwhich Crazy often now.  So, thank you guys. 


I like that term Sony Golden Ticket.


Name ideas for our Underworld Bracketology...


  1. Beckinsale Bracketology
  2. Bill Nighy Bracketology

I caught Mike and Mike on ESPN2 and remembered about "Sheets of Integrity". What can we call our brackets without the bracketology moniker?  Ahhh, let's take a song title from the soundtrack. How about...?


  1. Bring me the Disco King by David Bowie
  2. Rocket Collecting by Milla Jovovich (as Milla)
Both are song titles from the 1st movie soundtrack. I like Bring me the disco king as the title of this game. I'm listening to a live version of David Bowe singing this song right now. 

Our bracketology, where you can have the actor and character name. It's mathematically in the predictors favor, May the odds be ever in your favor. Then again, the actor and character could vanish from Underworld. There you go, a busted bracket. 

Bring me the disco king for Next Generation - Elite 8 for Podcast Exhibit C: Kate Beckinsale, India Eisley, Michelle Dockery and Michael Ealy. Is that a boring final four? Take 2: Michelle Dockery, Kate Beckinsale, {Kee-nan} Keiynan Lonsdale (In the movie Insurgent, he plays Uriah) and Jude Law  That is an interesting casting choice.

P.S.  Bring me the disco king is a beautiful song.

Nothing on the Underworld Reboot for now. I'm going to concentrate on N.G. on this podcast.

Pod Homework


  • Watch Spectre. The Fall release of the Bond movie franchise. 
You are a kite dancing in a hurricane, Mr. Bond. I wish someone would say that about me. You got the usual ingredients for an action movie trailer: Shot of a car, chess set, baddie and Bond. Loved it.  
  • Read up to chapter 6 of Underworld by Greg Cox.
I was shaken up by Rigel's death. I don't know why it greatly affected me in written form. 

In Talking Dead (AMC) they have a We Remember video montage, a segment of the deaths featured in the lastest episode of The Walking Dead.  I want to do a "We Remember" montage of the deaths in Underworld. This is my Irish wake for you, brother. Pardon can you play Danny Boy. 


What I am about to say has nothing to do with the book - Rigel we remember your classic good looks. The way you expertly took photographs of the Lycans heading into the Metro station. You fought valiantly, death dealer. But, when you harness the sun into a bullet form, the moon no longer holds her sway. In the afterlife I hope you have endless cameras at your disposal. Time to take those rainbow pictures you are fond of.  Thank you for your contributions to the coven.

Trix
Poor Trix. They wouldn't even take the remaining silver bullets out of your body. I hope you had a proper burial. Or, did they leave you among the bones and rats in the tunnel? In the afterlife I hope you have an endless buffet of raw meat.

R.I.P. Nathaniel.  

Thank you for being the back up. In the movie you are reading the newspaper, but in the book you are across the street recalling the words of John Milton. Sorry things didn't work out. In Underworld you are the closest thing we have to Indiana Jones. 

On to he unfortunate descendants of Corvinus. Subject A and B, in the book. The two gagged captive humans. Damn my DNA. Sorry the Lycans used you as lab rats.  Don't worry the baddies in this scene die in the third act. Hopefully, you have a pleasant afterlife. 

We remember your deaths, oh Lord until you come again. 


Sony Minute
Formerly the Sony Pictures minute. Where I'm going to keep this in a minute form. Sony Pictures the studio behind the Vampire, Lycan, Hybrid and Human love story. 

Sony Pictures re-tweeted a Ron Howard tweet. The tweet: @realronhoward 4/17 An excellent day of rehearsal for InfernoMovie. 


The third novel in the Robert Langdon series. Which should be released next year.


A tweet from @SonyElectronics, 4/9/15. An octopus takes pictures using a Cyber -shot TX30 Camera. I watched this video. It unnerved me a bit. I felt sorry for the octopus. The octopus is named Rambo, Rambo the female octopus. The footage was filmed at the Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life Aquarium in New Zealand or Aotearoa. Where you can "snorkel with the sharks in a Shark Cage experience". No, thank you. 

I'm too chicken to get my ears pierced, no way would I jump into a tank with a shark. Also, I don't know how to swim. I wanted to get my ears re-pierced for my 12th year of sobriety. Yes, I am 12 years sober. But, I've been putting it off. My parents pierced my ears when I was a toddler and the holes have closed up since then. I want to get a numeral 1, for one ear and a numeral 2 for the other ear. Like how I worded that? Or, giant door knocker, hoop earrings with the number 12 on them. It's on my to do list. 


I'm proud of reaching my sober birthday. I'm not depressed, I wrote lyrics to a song and I'm playing Sim City Underworld. All four pod goals achieved. 


Was that a minute? Oh, well.

Pod Homework
Continue to read "Underworld".

 "We're out of time, we'll try to do better the next time." 

I'll record another pod next week, since I missed last week.  I like dropping a pod every two weeks. I don't have a lot of franchise news to maintain a weekly presence. Plus, that seems a bit draining to do it once a week. I'm shooting for a bi-monthly recording.  

Thank you for listening to the Underworld pod. You can find us at @underworldpod on twitter, underworldpod.com and soundcloud.com/underworldpod.
