episode Lyra Valkyria talks AAA dream matches, the John Cena classic and SYMPHONIC METAL! cover

Description

There’s a moment, tucked away in Lyra Valkyria’s story, that says more about her journey than any championship ever could. It doesn’t happen under the bright lights of WrestleMania, or with a title belt raised high. It happens in a small venue in Bray, Ireland, when she’s just starting out, waiting for her cue to step through the ropes. “I’ll never forget doing matches in Bray in Ireland, and the fear that I had of, like, I’m getting in next, you know, when I was just starting out, and honestly, that fear was way scarier than standing behind the curtain at WrestleMania.”   More at: https://www.soundspheremag.com/

JCW's Father Bronson comments on Xavier Woods' next move in wrestling, takes over SOUNDSPHERE

On screen, in the world of JCW, we see a towering figure in black, red-tinted sermons to the camera, eerie roll calls and cryptic messages about “Red Love.” It looks, at first glance, like a brilliantly unhinged wrestling gimmick: a cult-adjacent preacher, a strange sidekick in the form of Mr. Wiggles, and an ever-growing list of names who’ve made the Red Roll Call. But sit down with Father Bronson—as we did, somewhat nervously, over a screen from the UK—and the language of “gimmick,” “character work,” and “promos” doesn’t just fall away. It’s rejected, dismantled and thrown back at you. “You’re using words like promo and vignette,” he says, eyes locked forward. “I think you might be under the wrong impression. You might think that this is an act… that red love doesn’t fuel the fibers of my being, because it truly does.” For more visit: https://www.soundspheremag.com/

Leo Woodall and Havana Rose Liu talk working with Dustin Hoffman on Tuner, learning piano and MORE!

When two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman first read the script for the indie film,  “Tuner,” he was surprised how Academy Award-winning documentary director Daniel Roher (“Navalny”) had navigated his first narrative fiction thriller. When two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman first read the script for the indie film,  “Tuner,” he was surprised how Academy Award-winning documentary director Daniel Roher (“Navalny”) had navigated his first narrative fiction thriller. Having spent his life playing piano and taking legendary roles like “The Graduate” and “Midnight Cowboy,” Hoffman had attended the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music, and actually hoped to become a concert pianist. “The role of a piano tuner immediately resonated with me on a personal level,” he said.  “This was the first time in over 50 years of doing this, a guy came up to me and said, I wrote this for you,” he acknowledged during a press chat.   Hoffman plays veteran tuner Harry Horowitz, a gifted man who is well-versed in fixing pianos. Later, at a private screening at Black Bear Pictures in Los Angeles, the seven-time Academy Award nominee told the audience: “Somehow Daniel knew that (in real life) I played the piano.” He continued: “Daniel sent me a script, and I liked it very much. I told him it was very well written….I was in Europe, and he flew over to London on his own dime, and we just talked….What particularly struck me was the original way the story evolved into a heist genre; it felt fresh and compelling.” Hoffman said he was “shocked” because he had never met anyone like Roher before, who had worked on many layers of the crime-romance..   For more visit: https://www.soundspheremag.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDhud2lWbHNrYnJvNFZXUTZlM0hQWG1QTGRzQXxBQ3Jtc0tuNGhReG5mcE9RWlRWRHAxOTN0bDZVR0s3T0phcXE0cmNTOGdaQlNVc2lnZU5IbHN0UVVZQVdMVzZCVzhRWXB1ZlNfRWctQWQxdHdIQTN2aTdBR3ZMeUV1YnRPcEJqNlltbk9fM0xiMDBmTnYxcmpUMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.soundspheremag.com%2F&v=4PcnQWi-ePc]
