James Gunn Does Interview In Casket For ‘Grave Conversations' Season 3
Superman filmmaker James Gunn lies in a casket for an interview with his friend and colleague David Dastmalchian for Season 3 of Dastmalchian's talk show Grave Conversations.
Gunn, of course, is the co-CEO of Warner Bros.' DC Studios with Peter Safran. DC Studios is about to kick off a new era of the DC Universe with Superman, written and directed by Gunn, on Friday, July 11.
Dastmalchian — whose long list of credits includes The Dark Knight, the Ant-Man trilogy, Oppenheimer, Late Night with the Devil and most recently, Murderbot and The Life of Chuck — began hosting Grave Conversations on Instagram and YouTube in April 2024. Dastmalchian also played Polka-Dot Man in Gunn's DC antihero movie The Suicide Squad in 2021.
Grave Conversations was developed by Elan Gale and produced by Dastmalchian's Good Fiend Films. Gale and Dastmalchian partnered with Titan Casket and its founder and CEO Scott Ginsberg to bring the unique talk show to life.
In a press release to announce the show in 2024, Dastmalchian said, 'The opportunity to interview my friends and colleagues presented itself with Grave Conversations, a hilarious, heartfelt, and personal exploration of some of the things that matter most in life. And death.'
Gunn is among the 10 new guests that Dastmalchian is interviewing for Grave Conversations Season 3. Gunn's episode will premiere on Monday, July 7, on YouTube, just days before Superman's release on July 11.
'I'm a huge fan of Grave Conversations,' Gunn said in the trailer for the show's third season, which was released on Wednesday. 'I'm what you call 'a superfan.''
Who Else Will David Dastmalchian Interview In 'Grave Conversations' Season 3?
In addition to James Gunn, Grave Conversations will feature David Dastmalchian's interviews with She-Hulk and Star Trek: Prodigy star Jameela Jamil, Superman and The Rookie star Nathan Fillion and comic book creator and toy company owner Todd McFarlane.
'I'm going to be on Grave Conversations. It's important. Standing up interviews and sitting interviews? This is how it's done," McFarlane said of the talk show's unique format in the Season 3 trailer. "There's going to be a new wave. It's cool.'
In addition, Dastmalchian will be interviewing Shadowhunters and Arrow star Katherine McNamara, actor-director Mark Duplass, actor-director Kevin Smith, The Suicide Squad star Flua Borg, Traitors star Chrishell Stause and M3GAN and M3GAN 2.0 star Violet McGraw.
In Seasons 1 and 2 of Grave Conversations, Dastmlachian did interviews with the likes of The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass creator Mike Flanagan and star Kate Siegel, Scream and Five Nights at Freddy's star Matthew Lillard, The Boys star Jack Quaid and Final Destination star Devon Sawa.
Grave Conversations Season 3 premieres on YouTube on Monday. James Gunn's Superman, starring David Corenswet as the new Clark Kent/Superman, opens in theaters nationwide on July 11.

Excitement mounts as the Oasis reunion tour prepares to kick off in Cardiff
LONDON (AP) — Oasis is due to take to the stage in Cardiff, Wales on Friday, kicking off a hotly, and somewhat anxiously, anticipated reunion tour. The return of the Britpop-era rockers after a 16-year hiatus is a major moment for fans. Will it be a storming success? Definitely maybe. Predictions are tricky when it comes to Noel and Liam Gallagher, the sparring siblings who give Oasis its charisma, and its volatile chemistry. 'That's one of the attractions about Oasis — they bring this element of risk,' said author and music journalist John Aizlewood. He said the 'alternative aura that they have cultivated with the age-old pop story of fractious brothers' is part of the band's appeal. Unless the brothers' combustible relationship derails proceedings, two nights at Cardiff's 70,000-capacity Principality Stadium on Friday and Saturday raise the curtain on a 19-date Live '25 tour in the U.K. and Ireland. Then come stops in North America, South America, Asia and Australia, ending in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Nov. 23. Founded in the working-class streets of Manchester in 1991, Oasis released its debut album, 'Definitely Maybe,' in 1994 and became one of the dominant British acts of the 1990s, releasing eight U.K. No. 1 albums and producing hits including 'Wonderwall,' 'Champagne Supernova,' 'Roll With It' and 'Don't Look Back in Anger.' The band's sound was fueled by singalong rock choruses and the combustible chemistry between guitarist-songwriter Noel Gallagher — a Beatles and glam rock-loving musician with a knack for memorable tunes — and younger brother Liam, a frontman of compelling swagger and style. Then and since, the brothers have often traded barbs — onstage, in the studio and in interviews. Liam once called Noel 'tofu boy,' while Noel branded his brother 'the angriest man you'll ever meet. He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup.' Oasis finally split in 2009, with Noel Gallagher quitting the band after a backstage dustup with Liam at a festival near Paris. The Gallagher brothers, now aged 58 and 52, haven't performed together since, though both regularly play Oasis songs at their solo gigs. They long resisted pressure to reunite, even with the promise of a multimillion-dollar payday — though Liam sounded more open to the idea. The singer told the Associated Press in 2019 that Noel 'thinks I'm desperate to get the band back together for money. But I didn't join the band to make money. I joined the band to have fun and to see the world.' Now they have agreed on a tour that will see them joined — if reports are right — by former Oasis members Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs and Gem Archer on guitars, bassist Andy Bell and drummer Joey Waronker. The announcement of the U.K. tour in August sparked a ticket-buying frenzy, complete with error messages, hours-long online queues, dashed hopes and anger at prices that surged at the last minute. Some fans who waited online for hours at the Ticketmaster site complained that they ended up paying 355 pounds ($485) for regular standing tickets instead of the expected 148 pounds ($202). The ticketing troubles sparked questions in Britain's Parliament, where Arts Minister Chris Bryant criticized 'practices that see fans of live events blindsided by price hikes.' Britain's competition regulator has since threatened Ticketmaster — which sold some 900,000 Oasis tickets — with legal action. Tickets for the U.K. shows sold out in hours, with some soon offered on resale websites for as much as 6,000 pounds ($7,800). That suggests major pent-up demand, both from the original fans — a male-dominated cohort now well into middle age — and from a younger generation. No plans have been announced for Oasis to record any new music, and the tour is being presented as a one-off. Aizlewood said it's an opportunity for Oasis to 'tend the legacy' of the band, and remind people of the power of the Oasis brand. 'There should be a sense of huge joy and life affirmation about these shows. And I think if they can just play it right, then that can be a massive burnishing of their legacy,' he said. '(There is) this enduring love for Oasis — and love means money.'

But reaching a broad audience and riding a wave of '90s Britpop nostalgia to higher sales in North America is worth being here now.
