'You podcasters think you've inherited the kingdom,' Spacey, in character as Underwood, tells Dillon in the video released Tuesday. 'Whispering in ears, swaying elections, spinning the truth like it was cotton candy, when in fact, you're nothing but a bunch of clowns juggling boner pills and hair tonic.'
'Frank Underwood? I thought you were dead,' Dillon replies.
'I'm as dead as John McCain,' Spacey quips back.
Spacey's Underwood then tries to blackmail Dillon, using his DoorDash receipts and compromising photographs as leverage. However, his plans are quickly foiled as Dillon tells him, 'These photos you gave me, I've posted them all. I'm on the internet. We don't have blackmail. We have content.'
'There is no limit to your duplicity, to your pandering, to your shameless and desperate desire to cling to relevance,' Spacey retorts. 'You're my kind of bastard.'
Dillon then informs Spacey of his Netflix special. When Spacey learns which streaming service 'I'm Your Mother' is on, he calls Dillon 'a foul, lonesome, evil little cockroach.'
In 2022, five years after Spacey was kicked off Netflix's 'House of Cards' for allegations of sexual assault against young men, a judge ordered the 'American Beauty' star to pay production company MRC roughly $31 million in damages for sexual misconduct on the set of the White House drama. In 2024, that figure was reduced to $1 million.

The Last of Us Creative Team on How They Crafted Season 2's Most Crucial Episodes
Full Spoilers for The Last of Us Season 2 follow. At IGN Live today, The Last of Us Co-Creator and Executive Producer Craig Mazin was joined by several of the show's core creative team – including Ksenia Sereda (Cinematographer), Ann Foley (Costume Designer), Don Macaulay (Production Designer), Alex Wang (VFX Supervisor), Timothy Good (Editor), and David Fleming (Co-Composer) – to discuss the tremendous amount of work that went into the just-completed second season of the HBO series. As the panel began, Mazin remarked, 'The truth is that Neil [Druckmann] and I are vastly over-credited for the success of the show. We work really hard on it but these are the people that bring it to life and they deserve so much credit… All of it is necessary to make it what it is.' When the panel was asked to name their favorite episode from Season 2, nearly everyone named either episode two ("Through the Valley") or episode six ('The Price'), which made sense since they were such standouts - and segued nicely into the fact that these were the two episodes moderator Amelia Emberwing focused on for the conversation. "Through the Valley' of course had two monumental events, including the horde of infected attacking Jackson and, well… that other thing which we'll get back to. With footage of the massive attack sequence playing, Mazin noted that there were visual effects in basically every shot, saying, 'I think Alex had to touch nearly everything here.' Rewatching the attack on Jackson, Macaulay joked, 'All I can think about is the thousands of meetings we have,' saying they quite seriously probably had 10 meetings about how the barrels would be launched from the town gates into the horde. As he put it, 'Nearly every shot in this took 10-15 meetings. Craig loves meetings!' Even after all of that there was 'a lot of retrofitting on set. Lots of rooftops we weren't planning to do.' Foley said episode two was definitely the hardest part of the season for her as the costume designer because of how many actors and extras were in that episode working on multiple filming units - and that it was all taking place while they were also working on the Seraphite costumes for upcoming episodes. As she explained, this involved "65 people in three different areas.' Wang stressed that previs is crucial, and the many discussions they have about what Macaulay will build vs. what Wang will oversee being added digitally. It's a long process, with Wang noting, 'You're planning for success 6-8 months down the line' and that he's constantly in communication with Macaulay, the stunt team, and many more. Mazin joked that when he calls Wang in for one of his infamous meetings, 'His heart sinks because he knows he's about to go over budget again.' One reason the infected horde was so tricky was that it dealt with such a large army and as Wang explained, in the visual effects world, when you have a group that large 'repetition is usually okay,' since you have characters in the same costumes or creatures of the same type. Here though, Mazin wanted to sell that these were all originally different human beings who were different sizes and ages in different outfits before they were infected. As he put it, they nearly 'broke Wētā [FX]' over the specifics they asked for. Then there's Good and his crucial work as editor. He has to begin editing without the final effects in place, which can be tricky. And not just because, as he pointed out, in the early footage 'a Bloater isn't a Bloater, it's a green dot.' But after they may have cut of the episode they're happy with, 'we get the animation back and everything's changed. The motion's become faster than a human actor is able to do," so they have to re-edit to adjust. When it came to scoring the 'Through the Valley,' Fleming described it as particularly challenging, because Mazin asked him, 'How do we start this at 11 and then keep going up for the whole episode?' The idea was they were 'building up momentum so it just felt relentless relentless relentless. Then at the end, it was kind of the opposite with the pivotal scene with Joel.' When Fleming paused and said he'd been avoiding talking about how that episode ended for so long, Mazin couldn't resist chiming in: 'He died!' As Fleming explained, the original music for Joel's wrenching death scene was much busier but then 'Craig asked 'strip it back.' It was a less is more situation.' While praising the performances of Pedro Pascal, Kaitlyn Dever and Bella Ramsey, Good revealed that for Joel's death 'I actually edited it five times before I was ready to show it to Craig,' because he knew how important it was to get it right. As Joel's death scene played out, the panel couldn't help but become somber and when Mazin cracked, 'Let's talk about the golf clubs we picked out. They have lots of meaning" to release some tension, he then paused and added that actually, when it came to which exact club Abby would use to beat Joel with, 'There was a whole discussion!' The conversation then moved to episode six and its flashbacks to Joel and Ellie together set between Season 1 and 2. The sequence where Ellie climbs the dinosaur was shown and Mazin remarked, 'I love this in the game. I love that we got to do it!' He added that this was a funny situation where the actual dinosaur built for Ellie to climb 'was wobbling too much so then Alex stopped it from wobbling. But then it looked fake so we had to make it wobble [again] a little bit.' Discussing Joel and Ellie's clothes, Foley noted they did their best to match their looks in the game, though there might be slight changes occasionally for specific reasons. One such case was in the museum scene. In the game, Ellie is wearing a tank top in this sequence. However, on the show, they wanted to underline that Bella Ramsey was playing a more youthful version of Ellie in these flashback scenes, so they ended up making it a t-shirt because 'changing it from a tank to a t-shirt made it look baggier and make her look younger.' In general though, 'Joel and Ellie are in the same things they wear in the game because there's no reason to change it.' Ksenia Sereda said she was both excited and nervous about shooting the scene where Ellie and Joel go inside the space capsule, because 'the way it was done in the game was so brilliant,' including the close up on Ellie smiling, imagining going into space. Sereda joked the game provided 'the most expensive previs I've ever had to work with.' Mazin marveled how Sereda lit the screen so that all of the light changes on Ellie's face were done practically, without visual effects needed. Sereda explained how difficult it was, because 'the whole sequence is lit through this teeny tiny window on the side of the capsule. It was very challenging to find this whole look.' This sequence had particular significance to Mazin because 'This is the first thing that Neil ever showed me from the second game.' He elaborated that when he went to Naughty Dog to speak to Druckmann about turning The Last of Us into a TV show, the team were nearing the completion of The Last of Us Part II. When Druckmann showed Mazin the space capsule sequence, his response was, ''We're doing that!' In my mind, I was like, 'We need to do a good enough job for Season 1 that we're renewed [to do that].'" With Season 3 of The Last of Us now in the works, Mazin said he was eager to get back in the thick of it, turning to his fellow panelists and saying 'I can't wait to do that. I can't wait to do that with all of you.' He then proclaimed: 'Don, are we going to have meetings!!'

Harvey Weinstein Found Guilty of Sexual Assault After Tensions Explode on New York Jury
Harvey Weinstein has been convicted of one count of committing a criminal sexual act but acquitted on another in his sex crimes retrial in New York City. The majority-female jury on Wednesday found the former Hollywood producer guilty of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley, but acquitted him of a second charge of sexually assaulting Kaja Sokola. The jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on a third count involving Jessica Mann and was told to resume deliberations Thursday morning. More from Variety Amanda Seyfried Grossed Out She Invited 'Dictator' Harvey Weinstein to Past Sundance Premiere: 'It's Just the Way It Was - We All Needed Him' Harvey Weinstein Says He Has 'Regrets' and 'Acted Immorally' Ahead of New York Retrial Verdict: 'But Never Illegal, Never Criminal' Harvey Weinstein's New York Retrial Closes With Prosecutors Urging Jury to 'Let Him Know the Rules Apply to Him' Ahead of Deliberations The partial verdict comes after a weeks-long trial that began in April, during which three women testified about the alleged sexual assaults committed by the former Hollywood producer. Weinstein faced two counts of committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree and one count of third-degree rape. Prior to the mixed verdict, Weinstein himself addressed the court, urging the judge to declare a mistrial as several jurors reported ongoing tensions in the deliberation room. 'This is my life that's on the line,' Weinstein told Judge Curtis Farber, adding, 'I am not getting a fair trial.' Weinstein then told the judge, 'You are endangering me, Your Honor.' Earlier on Wednesday, the jury foreperson in Weinstein's retrial informed the judge that tensions remained during deliberations and requested a private meeting with the judge and attorneys to discuss the situation. In court, Farber conveyed the foreperson's account, stating that there was infighting among the jurors and that the foreperson was 'not going to change his position — whatever that position is.' 'He did indicate that at least one other juror made comments to the effect of 'I'll meet you outside one day,' and there's yelling and screaming,' the judge said. 'A crime was committed against this juror,' Weinstein's lawyer Arthur Aidala argued, describing the situation in the deliberation room as 'menacing and harassment.' Aidala added: 'Their verdict is all about coercion and threats.' Prosecutor Matthew Colangelo, however, argued that the foreperson didn't seem frightened or apprehensive — just 'stubborn.' 'He said he'd made up his mind, he didn't want to change it, and people were pressuring him to change it,' Colangelo said. 'That's what jury deliberations involve.' In his 2020 trial, Weinstein was found guilty of sexually abusing Haley and Mann. He was serving a 23-year sentence in New York until those convictions were overturned in April 2024. Weinstein pleaded not guilty to all charges in his retrial; both Haley and Mann testified against him again. In their testimonies, Haley alleged that Weinstein forcibly sexually assaulted her at his apartment in 2006, while Mann accused him of raping her at a hotel in 2013. Sokola, who did not testify in Weinstein's 2020 trial, was first identified by the prosecution during opening arguments in late April. (She was previously referred to as Complaining Witness No. 3.) In her testimony, Sokola described two alleged sexual assaults by Weinstein: one in 2002, when she was 16, and another in a Manhattan hotel in 2006 — the latter being the incident for which Weinstein was charged in the retrial. Weinstein is still serving a separate 16-year prison sentence following his 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles.

Former OceanGate employees slam Titan sub disaster company CEO in new doc: ‘Borderline clinical psychopath'
A damning new documentary condemns Stockton Rush, the founder and CEO of OceanGate, the defunct company whose Titan submersible imploded in the Atlantic Ocean June 2023. Former employees allege in 'Titan: The OceanGate Disaster' on Netflix that their boss' self-absorption and consistent willful negligence tragically led to the death of the five passengers, including Rush — a news story that captured the entire world's attention for days. 'I worked for somebody that is probably [a] borderline clinical psychopath,' said former OceanGate engineer Tony Nissen. 6 The late OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush is ripped by former employees in 'TItan: The OceanGate Disaster.' Courtesy of Netflix 'He wanted to be a Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk,' said Bonnie Carl, director of finance and administration, in the doc. 'He referred to those guys as 'big swingin' dicks,' and he loved that term and used it all the time.' Engineering project manager Emily Hammermeister added that repeatedly expressed safety concerns by workers with years of expertise fell on deaf ears and Rush's tunnel vision. 'Stockton was just so set on getting to the Titanic that nothing that anybody said made much of a difference,' she said. Rush was a wealthy California-born engineer who loved 'Star Wars' and 'Star Trek.' He co-founded OceanGate in 2009 with the goal of bringing deep sea exploration to the public — especially dives to the Titanic. In pursuit of his pipe dream, he decided to create the first submersible made from carbon fiber, a strong and cheap material consisting of many small strands. 'It's not like metal,' said Wired journalist Mark Harris, who profiled Rush. 'You know, titanium is extremely well understood. Carbon fiber is far more idiosyncratic in that the little fibers inside there can snap.' 6 Rush aimed to take paying passengers down to the Titanic in cheaply made submerssibles. Courtesy of Netflix Knowing the risks, OceanGate engineers built sensors into the hull — a series of small microphones — to alert people in the sub if there were breaches to the carbon fiber so they could quickly surface. In theory. 'The monitoring system for the hull was something that was dreamt up by OceanGate to try and give some comfort to people who were asking too many questions,' said submersible operations expert Rob McCallum. The film terrifyingly shows years of pressure tests conducted on the sub in which the hull cracked and the vehicle imploded. 'Pop' noises of breaks are loud and frequent — portending the loss of life that was to come. 6 Titan's hull was made of carbon fiber. Courtesy of Brian Weed 'I just can't believe it,' Rush angrily reacted during a trial five years before their first dive. 'We couldn't even get past f–king 4,300 PSI.' Eventually, Titan successfully reached the Titanic — in spite of persistent safety issues. 'It was a mathematical certainty that it would fail,' said McCallum. 'So, having a dive or two or 10 to the Titanic is not a measure of success. And personally I will never understand how it survived the first test dives.' 6 Rush routinely dismissed his experts' safety concerns. Courtesy of Netflix Lochridge emailed Rush and others a safety report in 2018, and was called into a contentious meeting the next day. Rush recorded the interaction. 'I don't want anybody in this company who is uncomfortable with what we're doing,' said an irate Rush. 'We're doing weird s–t here, and I am definitely out of the mold. There's no question. I'm doing things that are completely non-standard. And I'm sure the industry thinks I'm a f–king idiot. That's fine. They've been doing that for eight years. And I'm going to continue on the way I'm doing, but I'm not going to force people to join my religion if they don't want to.' Reacting to Lochridge's report, an angry Rush told Nissen, his engineer, that 'it would be nothing for him to spend $50,000 to ruin somebody's life.' 'That changed my life in that company,' said Nissen. 'I had to make sure nobody spoke up.' 6 Courtesy of Netflix Nissen, Lochridge, Hammermeister and Carl went on to all leave the troubling company. Carl was pushed over the edge when Rush brazenly suggested she assume the role of lead pilot. 'Are you nuts? I'm an accountant,' she remembered thinking. On June 18, 2023, one hour and 33 minutes into a dive, the Titan lost communication with the surface. A four-day search ensued and voracious news outlets displayed countdown clocks of when the sub would run out of oxygen. Debris was finally discovered on June 22. The Titan had actually imploded the same day it ceased pinging. The passengers — Rush, Hamish Harding, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Suleman Dawood and Shahzada Dawood — all died. Hammermeister still feels shaken up by her association with OceanGate. 6 The five passengers aboard the Titan all died on June 18, 2023. AP 'I've reflected a lot on my time there,' she said. 'And my time there was not normal. I mean, I think back to the times where I was part of dives that happened. And thinking back how uncomfortable I felt bolting people into the sub. And so when that initial news article popped up and it said 'Tourist sub lost in the Atlantic,' I knew right away it was OceanGate.' Lochridge said the tragedy was a result of Rush's narcissism. 'He wanted fame,' he said. 'First and foremost to fuel his ego, fame. That was what he wanted. And he's got it.'
