| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. Welcome to Slash Film Weekly. It is Wednesday, July 2, 2025. And on today's |
| 0:04.9 | episode of the show, we're going to be talking about the latest film and TV news. We'll talk about |
| 0:08.6 | Joe Kaczynski's F1, Megan 2.0. We'll play the Iron Heart interview that we teased last week, |
| 0:14.2 | and we'll also celebrate the 41st anniversary of This Is Spinal Tap. My name is Ben Pearson. I'm an editor at slashfilm.com. |
| 0:22.0 | And before we get started, I want to very briefly say that as of last night, I have |
| 0:26.3 | launched a brand new podcast called Pop Cultured. |

| 1:05.0 | in the world of James Bond. So hilariously, just a couple of hours after last week's podcast was published, we learned that Deney Villeneuve has been hired to direct the 26th James Bond movie. |
| 1:18.3 | And there's a list of actors who are rumored to be in contention for the part. |
| 1:22.4 | So let's take these things one by one. |
| 1:24.7 | I know you're a big Bond guy. |
| 1:26.3 | What do you think about Denny as the director |
| 1:28.1 | of the next Bond film? Look, it's one of those things where it'd be hard to be anyone who |
