Can Gekko Be Trusted?

Gekko offers guidance but with a hidden agenda: to reconnect with his estranged daughter Winnie (Carey Mulligan), who is engaged to Moore. Still harbouring resentment for her father’s past sins, Winnie is wary of his intentions. As Moore follows Gekko’s advice, the lines between ambition and manipulation blur.

A Complex Web of Alliances and Betrayal

Moore works for James, unaware of James’ connection to Gekko. Meanwhile, Gekko manipulates Moore to gain access to a hefty sum from Winnie. The audience is left wondering: will Gekko redeem himself or betray his family again? Can Moore find a way to take down James?

A Star-Studded Cast Delivers Gripping Performances

This sequel boasts a stellar supporting cast, including Vanessa Ferlito and Susan Sarandon and a surprise cameo by Charlie Sheen. Michael Douglas reprises his iconic role with a chilling portrayal of a reformed (or is he?) Gekko.

WrestleMania 42 Card Takes Shape as Randy Orton Bloodies Cody Rhodes

Randy Orton sat across from Cody Rhodes at the WrestleMania 42 contract signing, told him everything he wanted to hear, and then kicked him in the groin, smashed his head between a steel chair and the ring steps, and left him bleeding while holding the WWE Championship. That is how you build a WrestleMania main event. Dave Simon and Genesis Johnny North watched it unfold live, simultaneously booking out the full 13-match card across two nights. They also previewed every match on the AEW Revolution card, splitting on the main event — Dave picks Hangman Page, Johnny picks MJF in the Texas Death Match. Plus: Seth Rollins’ masked army gets torched, Danhausen’s curse works, and Team Canada falls to the USA in the WBC quarterfinals.

UFC Freedom 250 Exposes the UFC’s Broken Promise Machine

The UFC promised us the greatest card in history for the White House event. Six or seven title fights. Jon Jones. Conor McGregor. Francis Ngannou. What we actually received was UFC Freedom 250 — a card with Topuria vs Gaethje and Pereira vs Gane, but no superstars, no superfights, and the quiet confirmation that Jon Jones will never fight in the UFC again. This week, Jones fired back at Dana White on Twitter revealing he was actively negotiating and received stem cell treatment. Ronda Rousey went scorched earth on the streaming model. And the Conor Benn Zufa Boxing payday exposed how dramatically the UFC undervalues its own fighters. Dave Simon calls it what it is: over-promising and under-delivering.
