James Bond legend Roger Moore's son calls out TikTok culture, Hollywood's recycled comic book movies
Forget bigger explosions — Geoffrey Moore says Hollywood needs better stories.
The son of the late James Bond legend Roger Moore told Fox News Digital that today’s films have become too reliant on recycled comic book material and big-budget spectacle, while originality and meaningful dialogue have taken a back seat.
"I think that today, it's too much TikTok," the actor told Fox News Digital. "A person will have a conversation with you, and it's the conversation that he read or heard on TikTok, as opposed to actually having read Hemingway and knows what he's talking about."
"I think it's important that the art of storytelling maintains the culture," Moore said. "There's just too many studio executive heads deciding what's right, as opposed to what people want to hear or people should hear and see."
Moore stars in the British spy thriller "Knightfall," which has its share of guns and fight scenes. However, he said the film doesn't rely on over-the-top action to keep audiences hooked and instead leans on a strong storyline and sharp dialogue.
"I would like to see more culture in films, as opposed to the regurgitation of these comics," Moore said.

"And everything's so negative. Oh, my goodness. It's like, you need to have a certain budget with helicopters flying upside down. But the storyline has to be strong. Good dialogue, good storywriting, are key. You don't have to have constant action to keep the person's attention going. You also need action in the storyline, in the words."
Moore also believes "Knightfall" has something else working in its favor in the social media era: It doesn't overstay its welcome.
The actor said the film was deliberately kept short, acknowledging that today's audiences may not have the patience to sit through a lengthy saga.
"You can't sit through a three-hour movie," he argued. "You can imagine today, it's just everyone on the treadmill. You need that right amount of length before someone starts asking, 'When is it over?' That's the direction I would take with today's films."
For Moore, "Knightfall" also marks a full-circle moment.
The actor grew up immersed in the entertainment business as the son of one of Hollywood's most famous spies. Now, decades later, he's stepping in front of the camera as a spy himself at roughly the same age his father was when he made his final James Bond film.

"I have not been an actor all my life, even though I did start as a child actor," Moore said. "My second womb was the soundstage. But just because you're related to someone in the entertainment industry, it doesn't make me a part of the entertainment industry or even an actor. But this time, it just felt right. It wasn't forced. And also, it's never too late. I mean, yes, go figure, it's a spy film, but there's a twist. And really, it's never too late."
Moore was six years old when his father filmed his 007 debut, "Live and Let Die," which was released in 1973. The Telegraph reported that Moore was present for all of his father's Bond films and the famous stunts that came with them. Once the director yelled "cut," the patriarch would look at his son and ask if he wanted to get ice cream.
"Look, I've been on enough film sets to know how laborious it can be," Moore said. "It's a demanding schedule and you mustn't break your ankle. But I've never had a big role where I'm doing a lot of running around. I have to say on some mornings when I wake up, if you've ever been horseback riding, you recognize muscles you never knew you had. I'm doing all of this running around and going, 'Oh my goodness, I thought I was fit!'"
"I was never like, 'I'm looking for a job in front of the camera,'" Moore continued. "It just felt right. And I was intrigued. It's an independent British film and very few films aren't dictated by executive heads. This isn't a regurgitation of another franchise where they're spending lots of money. Here, the conditions were harsh. It was physically demanding. Rewrites are happening on the day. It was back to back."
"The food was good, considering this wasn't a multimillion production," he said. "And if the money is good, that'll get your attention."
Moore said the key to making it in the movie-making business is simple: don't take yourself too seriously.

"If an actor shows up on the set and doesn't understand the importance of the production, what each person does, then they're in the wrong business," he said. "It's a team effort. Everyone is as important. You're nothing without the guy who knows how to keep you in focus. If you make something look good, it's usually not that easy. And to be a film star, you have to be a good actor. There's no such thing as an ignorant person who can act."
Despite following in his father's footsteps by playing a spy, Moore isn't campaigning to become the next James Bond.
"I think the next James Bond should be someone who can carry the decade, a reflection of the times," Moore said. "When it comes to who's the next Bond, it's really who depicts the times, who is relevant to today, whether it be a tall person, a short person, someone who doesn't know how to tie a tie or who doesn't know how to read because he's on TikTok the whole time. Who knows who they'll choose."
"I think they know what they'll be doing. They're not just handing it over to Amazon, that was basically a delivery service, and now they're in the film business. Who they ultimately choose is someone relevant to the times. And I think that's the key to Bond."
Amazon MGM Studios gained creative control of the James Bond franchise in 2025 after forming a joint venture with longtime Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. The transaction closed March 24, 2025, with Amazon MGM Studios, Wilson and Broccoli remaining co-owners of the franchise.
Several actors have been linked to the role, including Paul Mescal, Jacob Elordi, Jack O'Connell, Jack Lowden and Callum Turner.

The next installment will be the 26th film in the official Bond series, which began with "Dr. No" in 1962. Denis Villeneuve is set to direct, with "Peaky Blinders" creator Steven Knight writing the screenplay.
As Moore looks ahead to making more films, there's one piece of advice from his late father, who died in 2017 at age 89, that he hasn't forgotten.
"Make sure you get paid," he joked.
"Knightfall" is available on digital and on demand.
Mullin calls Mamdani's anti-ICE rhetoric 'dangerous' following New York shooting
Department of Homeland Security Press Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Friday pushed back on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani who had lambasted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after agents opened fire and shot an individual in the city.
Mamdani said on Thursday that ICE has "killed far more of our neighbors than they could ever have claimed to save," and reiterated his call to abolish the agency.
"His words are dangerous and incite hostility," Mullin said. "Well mayor, if you abolish ICE, who's going to take criminals off the streets of your own town?"

Democrats are changing their transgender message. Republicans say they’re just flip-flopping
South Carolina Democratic Senate nominee Dr. Annie Andrews appears to be distancing herself from her past opposition to restricting transgender athletes in girls' sports, telling Fox News Digital she opposes biological males competing in women's sports and gender transition surgeries for minors.
As Democrats fight to regain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections, Andrews is among a group of candidates in competitive races in red and swing states who seem to be shifting positions on transgender issues. Meanwhile, Republicans are aiming to use the highly-charged issue as a cudgel to bash Democrats for a second straight cycle.
"I don't support biological men playing in women's sports, and I don't support gender surgery on minors," Andrews told Fox News Digital.
Andrews, who's locked in an increasingly competitive midterm election showdown with Republican Sen. Darline Graham in reliably red state South Carolina, delivers the same message in a new campaign commercial, adding, "I want you to hear me loud and clear."
DEMOCRATS THINK A BLUE WAVE IS FORMER - HERE ARE THREE FACTORS THAT COULD STOP IT
But Graham, who was appointed to the Senate following the sudden death this summer of her older brother, longtime Sen. Lindsey Graham, is accusing Andrews of trying to conceal her previous position on transgender athletes.
Andrews "has spent years supporting biological males competing in girls’ sports. Now that she’s running for Senate, she’s trying to hide from that radical record," Graham recently charged.
Graham and Republicans point to Andrews' opposition to a 2022 South Carolina law barring transgender athletes from competing on girls' and women's public school sports teams.
"This is shameful legislation that does nothing to protect or support women or children in SC. In fact, it is actively harmful. I will always support trans youth," Andrews wrote in a social media post at the time.
Republicans are seeking to once again make the issue a campaign liability.
The GOP effectively blasted Democrats in the 2024 election, with President Donald Trump's campaign targeting Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris with ads declaring "Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you."
WHO'S UP AND WHO'S DOWN IN THE LATEST FOX NEWS MIDTERM POWER RANKINGS
Republicans spent more than $200 million to run ads targeting Democrats on the transgender issue in the 2024 campaign, arguably helping the GOP to sweeping victories.
The latest national polls indicate that most Americans oppose transgender athletes playing on sports teams that don’t match their birth sex.
More than three-quarters (76%) of those questioned in a Fox News national poll conducted last month backed banning biological men from competing in women's sports, with one in five opposed. The survey indicated bipartisan support, with 90% of Republicans, 77% of independents and 61% of Democrats backing the ban.
Facing a rough political climate amid an unpopular war in Iran and soaring gas and diesel prices as they try to hold their fragile congressional majorities, Trump and the GOP are increasingly looking to replay their transgender political playbook.
Trump, at last month's GOP midterm convention, described anti-trans messaging as one of the party’s most effective campaign tools to drive voter turnout and target Democrats in the final stretch leading up to Election Day.
"It’s one of our great sound bites of all time," the president said at the two-day confab in Dallas.
DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB
And some of the other top speakers at the convention, including Vice President JD Vance, Speaker Mike Johnson, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and Senate and House GOP re-election chairs Sen. Tim Scott and Rep. Richard Hudson highlighted the issue in their addresses.
Meanwhile, Republican ads on the issue are running for a second straight cycle.
But Democrats are recalibrating, and learning to fight back.
One of the first to pivot following the 2024 election setbacks was California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate. In early 2025, he suggested that biological males playing in women's sports was "deeply unfair."
Also making headlines and sparking a debate among Democrats was Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, who said soon after the 2024 elections that he opposed transgender athletes competing in girls' sports and that Democrats spent too much time trying not to offend people.
Veteran Democratic strategist Maria Cardona told Fox News that "Democrats are being smart on this issue in terms of defining where they are on it so their opponents can't define them and then pivoting back to the issues that they know that voters actually care about."
"I have two little girls, I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I'm supposed to be afraid to say that," Moulton told The New York Times.
Fast-forward to present day, and while most Democratic politicians remain steadfast supporters of transgender rights, there are an increasing number who have changed course.
Texas state Rep. James Talarico, the Democratic Senate nominee trying to flip a GOP-held seat in red-leaning Texas, has been targeted by Republicans over his past support for allowing transgender athletes in girls' sports. But he told Fox News last month, "I oppose trans athletes playing in girls’ sports if it endangers safety or fairness."

In Republican-dominated Iowa, where Democrats are aiming to capture another open-GOP held Senate seat, Democratic nominee state Rep. Josh Turek has expressed opposition to biological males competing in women's sports and gender transition surgeries for minors after facing Republican criticism.
Longtime Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, who is facing a tough re-election bid, is running ads saying "boys should not play in girls’ sports" and that she is focused on "making your life more affordable."
In her campaign mailers she touts that she "voted to ban schools from touting gender ideology in classrooms," and, "Unlike the far left, I believe boys shouldn't play girls' sports."
But the National Republican Congressional Committee pointed out that Kaptur voted against the GOP-led Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act in April 2023 and January 2025.
LONGTIME DEMOCRAT GETS HIT FROM THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT OVER THIS ISSUE
"Lies from desperate Democrat Marcy Kaptur can't erase her radical record. Kaptur is in damage control, and she must remove herself as a co-sponsor of the Equality Act and disavow her previous votes or remove her lies from the airwaves," NRCC spokesman Zach Bannon told Fox News Digital.
Rep. Don Davis of North Carolina, another vulnerable Democrat seeking re-election, was one of only three House Democrats who voted last year for a GOP bill that could lead to prison for health care workers providing gender-affirming care for minors.
Davis, who played football at the Air Force Academy, appears alongside a football field in a re-election advertisement, saying, "I believe states should decide what's right for protecting women and girls, and North Carolina has decided."
But both Kaptur and Davis have faced pushback from Democrats over their messaging on the transgender issue.
And in deep blue Massachusetts, Moulton, who apologized for his past transgender comments, was still trounced in last month's Democratic Senate primary by progressive Sen. Ed Markey, who accused his challenger of throwing transgender children "under the bus."
CHECK OUT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POLLS IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS
Republican strategist Colin Reed, pointing to Democrats who've shifted their positions, told Fox News Digital that "voters should be very skeptical in the authenticity of any shifting policy positions that occur weeks before an election, especially in red parts of America where these types of issues have proven to be so politically toxic in the past."
But Cardona, a veteran of the Bill Clinton administration, the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns and the Democratic National Committee who currently serves as a DNC committee member, said Democrats are "defining where they are on the issue so their opponents can't define them and then pivoting back to the issues that they know that voters actually care about."
She argued that "Republicans won't be able to weaponize this issue this cycle the way they were able to in 2024 for two reasons. Democrats are fighting about and actually talking about it and defining themselves. But more importantly, when people can't make ends meet, they're not going to be drawn into culture issues which don't make a difference when you go to gas pumps and can't fill up your car to go to work."

New poll shows Washington state voters are ready to end boys competing in girls' sports
The people of Washington state haven't officially spoken yet, but new polling revealed what they might actually say.
The hottest-button issue on the Nov. 3 ballot is Initiative 638, a measure that would ban biological boys from competing against girls in K-12 sports. And Wednesday, data suggested that it has a strong chance of passing.
Let's Go Washington, the group behind the initiative, released numbers showing that 56% of 7,500 of likely Washington voters would vote "yes" on I-638, 24% would vote "no" and 22% were undecided. In terms of support by political affiliation, the poll showed that 73% of Republican respondents support the measure, along with 48% of Democrats and 52% of independents.
MAINE BALLOT INITIATIVE BARRING BOYS FROM USING GIRLS' LOCKER ROOMS IN DANGER OF BEING BLOCKED
Keep in mind, this was not an independent poll, and the full methodology — including margin of error — has not been disclosed. But these data don't suggest a photo finish on the initiative come November so much as a rout.
"We're not surprised by the results, because it's exactly what we've been hearing from people when we're making calls, knocking on doors and talking to people at events," Let's Go Washington communications director Hallie Herzberg told OutKick. "The opposition is loud and they're intimidating and they're trying to bully people into being quiet, but we've seen and heard from people standing with us saying "enough is enough, high school girls are not the villains."
As it stands, 27 states have laws prohibiting biological males from competing against girls in K-12 sports. But 27 were won by Donald Trump in 2024, and none of those laws were enacted by voters.
So not only could Washington become the first blue state with enforced gender separation in school sports, but also the first where voters themselves put that policy into place.
This was a point of emphasis at an I-638 rally in Vancouver, Wash., last Saturday, where five female athletes who had to compete against biological males and/or share a locker room with them shared their stories. One of them spoke about two mustached boys flexing in the mirror of the girls locker room before her basketball game, while another detailed how the WIAA — Washington's high school sports governing body — launched an investigation for harassment and bullying because she said "you're a man" to an 18-year-old male her team had to compete against.

But it wasn't just current or former Washingtonians speaking up on the issues — it was women from around the country. Because they know that I-638 passing could set off a chain reaction across the nation.
"If we can show that a state like Washington has enough common sense to stand up for the girls and women, then any other state can do so as well," said student-athlete Frances Staudt. "I think we need to know that it's possible to be done."
Opponents of the initiative aren't arguing that girls competing against boys is perfectly fine. Instead, they're resorting to scare tactics — warning that I-638 could subject girls to "invasive genital inspections" as early as kindergarten. But the initiative contains no language regarding such inspections, and as XX-XY Athletics founder Jennifer Sey has pointed out, none of the 27 states with enforced gender separation in sports are performing these exams. Why would it be different in Washington?
Biological males taking over girls' spaces in sports is no phantom issue in the Evergreen State. Last year, trans track athlete Veronica Garcia won the Washington state title in the 400 meters. Last week, OutKick reported that a Washington family requested a SCOTUS injunction after their daughter was allegedly assaulted by a trans athlete last year. And this fall, Camas High cross country runner Logan Mihailoff switched from the boys team — where he finished 76th in a September event — to the girls team midseason. He has already won a varsity meet against the girls.
These are precisely the kinds of situations that Let's Go Washington says I-638 is intended to prevent. Which is why Herzberg cautioned supporters not to take the poll results for granted.
"It's not a shoo-in by any means," she said. "We don't feel like we can just relax now and ride the wave. There's still a ton of work that needs to be done."
Don't underestimate the fear this bill's foes can instill in voters. It's what they specialize in. But this poll suggests Washingtonians are standing up to the bullies. Sanity may indeed prevail.
‘Expect deaths at this factory’: Former employees describe hazardous conditions at Chinese-owned Ohio plant
A Chinese glass manufacturer’s decision not to comply with a congressional oversight inquiry prompted Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., to convene a revealing roundtable with the plant’s former workers, where they described a series of hazardous work conditions and fears for their safety.
Khanna, the ranking member on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), first reached out to Fuyao Glass America and its Chinese parent company Fuyao Glass Industry Group Co., Ltd. in July, requesting documents detailing the company’s business and labor practices.
Fuyao quickly drew the attention of Americans in the Rust Belt and beyond when it became the subject of the 2019 Netflix documentary "American Factory," which chronicled its takeover of a former General Motors plant outside of Dayton, Ohio.

The company has since been mired in scandals ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for workplace safety violations to the 2018 death of factory worker Ricky Patterson.
In a subsequent October letter to Fuyao leadership, Khanna decried the company’s refusal to dialogue, condemning them for only sending one single letter in response to his numerous inquiries. Fuyao's Sept. 23 response, Khanna wrote in his Oct. 1 letter to the company, "answers virtually none of the Committee’s questions in a material way and fails to include any document submissions."

Despite Fuyao’s silence, Khanna made the journey to Western Ohio, an area of the country decimated by a loss of manufacturing jobs in recent decades.
Khanna convened a roundtable discussion on Tuesday involving former Fuyao employees and current union leaders at the Industrial Division of the Communications Workers of America (IUE-CWA) headquarters in Dayton, Ohio.

During the discussion, former Fuyao workers described unbearable heat, an inability to communicate with their Chinese supervisors, and apparent labor violations involving their Chinese counterparts, among other grievances.
"The heat in there is unbearable. They don't care," Tiffany Moore, who worked at Fuyao for three years, told the group.
AMERICA’S BROKEN LEGAL IMMIGRATION SYSTEM IS REPLACING US WORKERS BY DESIGN
"There's the language barrier. They can't communicate with you. When you try to communicate with them, they'll send someone else to you. Maybe one of them speaks English," Moore continued.
Like many of the former Fuyao employees at the table, Moore now works at Duramax, a General Motors-owned engine manufacturer, where she says she is much happier. But to even apply for the position she had to employ clandestine measures to avoid retaliation from her Fuyao bosses.
I'M THE ACTING SECRETARY OF LABOR AND I'M HERE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE AMERICAN WORKER
"You can't put your two weeks in because if you put your two weeks, they'll get rid of you before your two weeks come up for any reason. They'll tell you they don't have to have a reason to get rid of you just so that they can fill your position. So when I left there, I had to actually sneak out, do my orientation at DMAX. And then call them and tell them that I wasn't coming back and for them to release my 401k," Moore said.
Demetria Hodges, another worker who fled Fuyao for Duramax, recounted the time a Chinese forklift driver, who she believed to be unlicensed, struck her with the machine and faced no accountability.

"It was on camera, they have cameras in there, and they acted like they didn’t know who the forklift driver was," she told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview. "So when I tried to pursue a lawsuit and my workman’s comp, they pretended like they didn’t know who the person was."
While the American workers described abysmal conditions for themselves, they said the Chinese workers were treated even worse.
WHAT THE GOLF CART INDUSTRY CAN TEACH US ABOUT CHINA’S THREAT TO AMERICAN JOBS
"They were treated horrible," Moore told the group. "They weren't allowed to take anything from us. They weren't really allowed to communicate with us. They weren't allowed to mix with us."
Moore, Hodges and others said the Chinese workers were almost always the ones chosen for promotions because Fuyao could pay them less. They also said the company was constantly busing in new workers from elsewhere.
CORPORATE AMERICA'S CHINA ADDICTION HAS BECOME A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT
"They used to rotate them out every couple months. Like they will go to New York and get a bus for or a van full of people and bring them down here. And they work for a certain amount of months and then they rotate and send them back," Hodges said.
When Hodges explained that workers were still forced to come to work the day after part of the factory caught fire, Khanna asked her if the workers were undocumented.
"I believe that's why they accepted it because they were undocumented," Hodges said.
Darrell Jones, another former Fuyao employee, told Khanna he felt the workers needed a union backing them, a point which quickly drew heated commentary from the group.
"They wouldn't let a union come in there," Moore chimed in. "You couldn't even speak of a union being in there."
"Or you could lose your job," Hodges added.
Jones went on to explain that Fuyao threatened employees, telling them the company would take away their health insurance if they unionized. Hodges then added that the company offered employees a one-time pay bump of $2 an hour if they voted no on a planned unionization referendum.
"They said if we ever get a union there, he was going to shut it down," Jones recalled a supervisor telling him.
Jones also recalled the circumstances that led up to the tragic 2018 death of 57-year-old Fuyao factory worker Ricky Patterson.
"When that guy got smashed by that glass, we had to work that day," Jones recounted.
"He was a little shaky because he had just lost his mom. He was trying load up to glass. He cut one end of it. And then he was supposed to put the forklift in front of it, but he didn't put the forklift in front of it. When he cut that first side, the other side was loose," Jones said.
"Crushed him," he concluded.
OSHA fined Fuyao $7,000 in an informal settlement for a safety violation that led to Patterson's death.
"There's a guy used to work there, he passed away, he used to tell me all the time, he said he told you guys that 'you ought to be able to expect deaths in that plant,'" Sam Sanders, the president of IUE-CWA's local Dayton chapter told the group.
"He said what?" someone asked.
"Expect deaths in that plant," Sanders reiterated.
Khanna told the group he thought America needed new standards for foreign businesses purchasing or building factories in the U.S., a point he reiterated during an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.
"We can welcome foreign investment in the United States of America, we should if they want to open factories, but they have to play by our rules. They have to do things, not like they do in foreign countries, but like they do in America," Khanna told Fox News Digital.
"That means having safety standards. That means safety standards that are enforced. That means labor neutrality, so you can't have anti-union campaigns. That means complying with anti-discrimination laws based on gender and race. That means having communication where workers have a voice, that you can treat workers is dispensable," he continued.
The Silicon Valley congressman went on to explain that he hoped to be able to craft legislation that would reform the current process that allows foreign companies to purchase U.S. factories without much oversight. He also argued that American manufacturing needs a boost from the U.S. government.
"We need an industrial development bank in the United States that invests in places like Dayton, Ohio, to build new factories, to support manufacturers who are making things which we're currently importing. Why are we just relying on foreign investment?" he asked.
After not being granted an oversight look into the Fuyao factory itself, Khanna still wanted to get a look at the plant from outside, stopping to pose for a picture just a few feet off of company property.
"We need to understand how they're setting standards. We need to understand how they are complying with American labor law. We need to understand what the impact of foreign investment is so that we can craft legislation to address the issue," Khanna told Fox News Digital.
"I'm disappointed they aren't complying because it's not in any way a gotcha issue. Legislators need this information to be able to address the issue," he said.
"Everyone should want good jobs where American national security is protected and American standards are protected," Khanna concluded.
Fuyao Glass America and Fuyao Glass Industry Group Co. did not respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment.
MLW star Donovan Dijak calls Watermania event the 'craziest thing' he's ever done in the sport
Last month, OutKick Dropkick highlighted one of the most unique events in pro wrestling.
Banger Zone Wrestling, a European promotion, held Watermania at an aquatics center in France. Videos from the event showed the ring propped up in a pool with wrestlers slipping and sliding in the ring and taking bumps into the water.

Major League Wrestling (MLW) star Donovan Dijak was a part of that event. He said in a recent interview that Banger Zone Wrestling called him to see if he was interested in performing at the event. He said when he initially saw it on social media, he thought it was the "craziest thing" he’d ever seen.
When Dijak learned the company was going to put on another show, he had to be there and made it work despite having a booking at Progress Wrestling. He said he didn’t want to be on his "deathbed" thinking about the time he had passed on doing something as interesting as Watermania.
"As I was watching the show and watching them put together the ring, I was like this is surreal, so much so that like just as a fan I started recording clips and the viral clip that everybody saw of the ring kind of tilting and coming back up was me," he told OutKick Dropkick. "I recorded that just as a fan, and then 20 minutes later I was wrestling in the ring, which I'm going to be honest, I'm always honest, did not feel safe because it was sopping wet. Thankfully, again, like we just talked about, when you get an opportunity like that, take advantage of the uniqueness of the scenario."
Dijak said he only really wanted to perform moves into the water and maybe a headlock in the ring, "which is exactly what you saw."

"You saw me chokeslamming him into the water, moonsaulted in the water, then we brawled around the pool and he started drowning me and stuff like that because that's what's different," he said. "I can grab a headlock and do a headlock takeover and do a hip toss into a cool spot in any ring. I can do it any weekend. I do it all the time. When am I ever going to be able to chokeslam someone in off the top rope to the floor, basically into a pool that explodes with water and then moonsault into a pool. Never ever again, right? I knew I wanted to get out of that scenario, and we got so many incredible moments and incredible clips from that match."
Dijak said he hopes to one day to wrestle his opponent, Scar, again in the future.
"That was an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience. I'm not saying I won't do it again, because I probably would if the opportunity presented itself, but it's not something I'm going to go out of my way to do like I did the first time because it was so much fun. It was such an incredible experience, but you know, there's some risk involved. There's always risk involved in professional wrestling. That ring, very wet, right, which is gonna happen. It's on a pool, right? So we knew the risks going in, but once you step in it and you start slipping around, you're like, we gotta get to the pool fast."
Dijak is one half of a tag team known as The Skyscrapers. He was one half of the tag team champions for nearly a year before dropping the belt to the Good Brothers.
The Skyscrapers can be seen in the ring on "Fusion," which airs on Tubi, Veeps and YouTube.
WWE star Jacy Jayne has her eyes set on winning Money in the Bank, being 'obnoxious' with the briefcase
Women’s United States champion Jacy Jayne is set to make her first appearance in the Money in the Bank ladder match with hopes of grabbing the briefcase and earning herself a world title shot.
As far as her strategy goes, Jayne wasn’t exactly going to share that plan with OutKick Dropkick.

"I definitely have a strategy. I’m not going to tell you what it is," she said. "You gotta watch the match to find out. But I know all the girls in this match very, very well. I’ve been working with them for years. So, I’ve definitely been watching tape back to refresh my memory, like, this person moves like this. This person does this, let me watch out for that.
"I’m ready to climb that ladder and be 'JC in the Bank.'"
Jayne isn’t exactly looking too far ahead into a potential women’s champion she’s targeting. Right now, Stephanie Vaquer is the women’s world champion and Chelsea Green is the WWE women’s champion.
Green would be the optimal target given both wrestlers are on the SmackDown roster. But Jayne made it clear everyone is a target.
"Everyone’s a target. I want to keep everyone’s head on a swivel. I want them to not know what way I’m coming, when I’m coming. I might pretend I’m going to cash in 52 times before I actually cash in," she said. "I want people to be paranoid – terrified, paranoid, all of the above.
"I want to be the most obnoxious human being alive with this briefcase."
It wasn’t that long ago when Jayne was the NXT women’s champion. She told OutKick Dropkick in the spring she was ready for a main roster call-up. In April, Jayne, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid each made their SmackDown debuts.

Jayne proved she was more than ready to get to the main roster.
"When you believe in yourself, you can accomplish crazy things," she said. "You almost fake it ‘til you make it in a way. I knew I was ready. There were times in the past that I was like, ‘I’m ready, I’m ready,’ but I wasn’t ready.
"This time, I really knew I was ready and when I got that opportunity, I was not going to lighten up."
Jayne won the women’s U.S. title against Tiffany Stratton and later saw her Fatal Influence stablemates – Henley and Reid – win tag team titles as well.
She said she felt like a "proud mom" seeing them get some gold for themselves.
"I felt like a, especially with Lainey because she’s so new coming into this (and) hasn’t been wrestling that long, I felt like a proud mom watching her win the title," she told OutKick Dropkick. "I feel like I’ve seen them also struggle and doubt themselves. Everyone has their ups and downs, it’s inevitable. So, when you see people that you care about get to the next level and win, it’s very special and I’m glad to be a part of it.
Jayne will be competing in the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match on Saturday. She goes up against Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Roxanne Perez, Lash Legend and Tiffany Stratton in that match to see who will become an immediate contender for the world title.
The premium live event takes place Saturday at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans and can be seen on ESPN Unlimited at 6 p.m. ET.
Dallas Cowboys fans leave ruthless comments for TE's wife after terrible game, Dak memes & Jerry's mad
Welcome to Screencaps, "America's Best Daily Column," as named by the readers. Screencaps, which publishes seven-days-a-week, is a mix of sports, pop culture, and emails from sane readers from around the world. This column isn't for the coastal elites. Give us a week to steal your heart. Our track record is pretty good. Let's have some fun.
That was pure cinema last night when Jerry Jones, 83, took his hand and slammed it into a table as his Cowboys were on their way to a loss to winless Tampa. Part of me actually felt bad for this geriatric, especially after he got all cocky earlier this season with that line about being a dangerous old man with money to burn.
Uh, you might want to burn some of that money on coaches, Jer. The Buccaneers ran for 241 yards. Now, that's not all on the defensive coordinator, but this morning's Fort Worth Star-Telegram has a headline stating "In humiliating defeat, Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator looks overwhelmed."
BRIAN SCHOTTENHEIMER NOW SITS ON HOTTEST SEAT IN NFL AFTER COWBOYS COLLAPSE AGAINST BUCCANEERS
Yeesh. Bad look, Jer.
That coordinator would be 34-year-old Christian Parker. His defense just got lit up by an undrafted quarterback. The Cowboys were 9.5-point favorites. Let that sink in.
While Jerry was banging his fist, Cowboys fans were on social media taking out their frustrations with tight end Jake Ferguson on his wife, influencer Haley Cavinder, who showed up to last night's game wearing these "Kiss my Dallas" pants.
"Better divorce now when he still has money cause this was his last game," an angry fan wrote on Instagram. "Tell your husband to catch the DAMN BALL," another guy fired off.
(Sorry if this Instagram embed doesn't load. I swear that's what the pants say on her butt.)
And then there's this video where Haley is being ruthlessly mocked as well. "I assume he likes a lot of butter and eats with his hands?" one guy wrote of Ferguson. "It must be something greasy Although that duck that Prescott through was pretty greasy also," another guy tweeted after a late 4th quarter pass to Ferguson bounced off his face mask and into a Tampa defender's hands.
It just kept going from there. "Maybe give him some extra hand wipes to wash all the butter off his fingers...good grief," some guy named Randy chirped.
More observations from last night's game:

At one point in September, I thought Hooters might be OK. The company announced it was releasing a 2027 bikini calendar, which was a great sign the breastaurant might hold on during these tough economic times.
Then, on Thursday, Screencaps reader David E. tipped me off that he was hearing that the Daytona International Speedway Hooters was dead. He was right. The parent company removed the location from its website and updated its Facebook page to say the location had been permanently closed.
This comes days after Jacksonville lost its last store. If a Hooters can't make it outside the most iconic holy spot in stock car racing, there's no hope. I'm not even sure if Hoots can survive in Clearwater where it all began.
Can the company stop the bleeding? There's no sign it can at this point.
– Ryan in Oklahoma is fed up: Not in the five figures, but I did have a pallet of ammo delivered to my front door, in an apartment complex, two days before it was supposed to be, and I wasn’t home. And it was obviously ammo, straight up OD green cases. Honestly surprised that no one either a) snagged it up or b) that Biden’s ATF/department of injustice didn’t target my ass.
Greater question needs to be asked; what is the quality of your delivery driver experience these days? I swear to god, for my construction sites, I create a multiple page document that includes an address, a site contact, a Kmz, and literal 10 digit grid, and these mouth breathing truckers still manage to not figure out where to deliver. Sure plenty of them are illegals, but holy hell even the ones who can speak English are the dumbest people you’ve ever encountered in a truck stop. Idiocracy was supposed to be funny, NOT REAL LIFE.
Anyways, enjoy a far more optimistic weekend than me being pissed about it all. Cowboys still suck.
Kinsey: My dad's retirement job is delivering equipment to job sites. He might be one of the final remaining English-speaking, sane delivery guys out there. Ryan, fly him out. He'll fit right in and get your stuff to where it needs to be.
– Doug in Texas has a big decision to make on taking on a massive delivery: I saw your post about the $28K delivery. It made me chuckle as the firm I worked for sold last year. I have almost $500K in my 401K account that I need to roll over. Only the payroll company won’t do it. It’s a nationwide payroll company and they will not complete a direct company to company transfer. They insist on mailing me a check addressed to the new 401K sponsor so that I can complete the transfer myself. So I am left with trusting USPS with that check. Color me nervous.
– Darren in McDonough emails: This incident happened at a XC meet in my wife’s hometown of Newnan recently. You never know these days.
https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/uga-student-charged-high-school-cross-country-race-attack.amp
– Beer Guy Thomas V. in NC checks in: Home Depot officially joined my boycott list, by running a Christmas ad on the radio today.
Kinsey: Full disclosure — Mrs. Screencaps is going on a girls' trip this weekend to a town with a massive Christmas store. She hasn't even decorated for fall. TOO DAMN SOON, MRS. SCREENCAPS! However, I'd prefer she goes now before it starts snowing in Michigan.
– Paul in SoDak tells me: Good evening, Joe and screencaps nation. I want to apologize for my last correspondence…not that I think I made much of an impact on readers. Hating on Team Moms: Baseball in the moment after a 14-hour day and x wife drama wasn’t well thought out. I still won’t watch another minute of it, but that being said, God Bless America for playoff baseball…and football, lots of it.
You graciously shared my post about my Dad passing earlier this year. He was a huge Dodgers fan, as was his father, which made me a Dodgers fan. I know there are a lot of people who definitely do not want them to three-peat, and I get it…payroll…LA etc…but watching them and the other series games…football…brings back great memories of watching games with him. We talked about the 1988 World Series so much my Mother, not a sports fan, probably knows more about it than most Dodgers fans. Like you say Joe, sports is a common denominator for so many. Enjoy it while you can, Joe; keep writing about it. Screencappers keep sharing your thoughts and experiences. I look forward to reading the column every day.
I’m going to wear my Hershiser jersey to work tomorrow and stack shit on my friend who is a Yankees fan…good times.
– Nick S. asks: Who do you think is the most obnoxious college sports fanbase? I'd go with Pitt. They haven't won a National Championship in any sport in 50 years, but you would never know it from the way they act.

Kinsey: This is the easiest question you could ask, Nick. It's simple: Michigan fans. The only time the school has won anything in 30 years comes when scumbag Jim Harbaugh goes out and magically comes up with some sign-stealing special agent who then sends the program on a massive string of success.
Michigan fans now get to live with that era of show cause penalties, and scumbags being run out of college football.

How to save a video frame as a photo on your phone
Have you ever recorded a great video and then realized the moment you really wanted was buried somewhere in the middle? Maybe your grandchild flashed the perfect smile for half a second. Perhaps your dog made an expression you could never get again. You might even have caught the exact moment someone crossed a finish line or blew out birthday candles.
A lot of us would pause the video and take a screenshot. That can work, but your phone may already have a better way to pull a frame directly from the video and save it as its own photo.
Apple now makes this especially easy in iOS 27. Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy owners can do it too, although the buttons are in different places. Here's how to find them.

HOW TO SEARCH ANYTHING ON IPHONE, GALAXY AND PIXEL
Apple added a dedicated Save Video Frame as Photo option to the Photos app in iOS 27. It lets you find a specific moment in a video and save that frame as a separate image in your photo library.
Steps to save a video frame on iPhone
Your iPhone saves the frame as a separate photo in the Photos app. To find the photo you just saved, open Photos, tap Collections at the bottom, scroll to Recent Days, then tap Saved Today and look for the new frame.
Samsung Galaxy phones have a similar tool built into the Gallery app. Once you find the moment you want, you can use the capture button to turn that video frame into a photo.
Samsung notes that menus and settings can vary by Galaxy model, software version and region.
To find the photo you just captured, open Gallery, tap Albums, tap View all if needed, then open the Video captures album.
12 BIGGEST APPLE WWDC 2026 TAKEAWAYS YOU NEED TO KNOW
Pixel owners can use Google Photos to pull a still image from a video. Google calls the feature Export frame. Google has changed where this control appears in newer versions of Photos, so you may need an extra tap before you see it.
Settings and wording may vary slightly depending on your version of Google Photos.
If Export frame does not immediately appear, do not assume the feature disappeared. In newer versions of Google Photos, selecting the frame or tapping the camera icon can reveal the export control.
Google Photos saves that moment as a separate still image. To find the photo you just created, return to the main Google Photos screen and look in your recent photos. You can also tap Collections and check the relevant album if needed.
Taking a screenshot can still get the job done, especially when you are in a hurry. However, using the built-in frame tool gives you a dedicated photo created from the moment you selected in the video. It also makes the process easier because you do not have to worry about hiding video controls before taking the screenshot. Once the frame is saved, you can treat it like another photo in your library. The finished image can only be as good as the frame inside the original video. A sharp frame from a high-resolution video may look great. On the other hand, fast movement, low light or heavy compression can leave an individual frame blurry.
ANDROID MALWARE CAN STEAL YOUR PIN AND BANK LOGINS
Here is one tip that can make a big difference. Slowly move through the video around the moment you want instead of stopping at the first frame that looks good. Just a fraction of a second can change someone's expression or give you a sharper image. You may also find a frame with less motion blur than the one you originally noticed. This is especially handy with family videos, pets and sporting events where the best moment can disappear almost instantly.
There is another phone trick that sounds similar but works differently. An iPhone Live Photo captures a brief period of movement around a still photo. Many Android phones offer a similar feature called Motion Photo. With those, you can often go back and choose a better frame from the short clip surrounding the original picture. Here, we are starting with an actual video and pulling one frame from that recording to create a separate still image. If you are trying to rescue a group photo because somebody blinked, Live Photos and Motion Photos may be the better place to start.
Start with the same photo app you used to create the frame. On iPhone, the saved frame goes into your Photos library. On a Galaxy phone, Samsung saves it in Gallery and may also place it inside the Video captures album. Pixel owners will find the exported image in Google Photos. If you have thousands of photos on your phone, search can save you from endless scrolling. Names, locations and objects can often help narrow down the image much faster.
I like this trick because so many of the moments we want to keep happen while we're recording video. You may think you missed the photo, only to discover that the exact expression or moment you wanted was sitting inside the recording all along. Apple, Google and Samsung each approach the feature a little differently, but you can get to the same result without downloading another app. Before deleting a video or giving up on a shot you thought you missed, take a closer look at the frames inside it. You may find a keeper.
Have you ever pulled a great photo out of a video, and what other camera feature do you wish Apple, Google or Samsung would make easier to find? Let us know by writing to us at Cyberguy.com.

JONATHAN TURLEY: France's free speech crackdown shows what happens when politicians define truth
French President Emmanuel Macron went full Orwell recently. While long the darling of Western media, Macron has been one of the most anti-free-speech leaders in the world. On Sept. 29, he declared that "The so-called American ‘free speech’ today, which some people have promoted, is the opposite of free speech." Having Emmanuel Macron holding forth on free speech is akin to Joey Chestnut proselytizing on veganism.
France has been in a headlong plunge into censorship and speech criminalization. These laws criminalize speech under vague standards referring to "inciting" or "intimidating" others based on race or religion.
For example, fashion designer John Galliano was found guilty in a French court on charges of making antisemitic comments in a Paris bar in 2010 and 2011.
MACRON TRASHES AMERICAN FREE SPEECH AS RIOTS GRIP FRANCE — INTERNET UNLOADS: ‘ENORMOUS FOOL’
In another case, the father of French conservative presidential candidate Marine Le Pen was fined because he had called people from the Roma minority "smelly" in 2013. A French teenager was charged for criticizing Islam as a "religion of hate" in 2020.
Many of us were disgusted recently when Macron celebrated Brigitte Bardot's life as someone who "embodied a life of freedom." As I discussed, the French government repeatedly prosecuted Bardot for speaking about her views.
FRANCE BECOMES FIRST EU NATION TO BAN SOCIAL MEDIA FOR CHILDREN UNDER 15
Macron’s praise for Bardot’s "life of freedom" is reminiscent of the reaction of French officials to the massacre of editors at Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine. After hounding the victims for years with criminal investigations, the French government organized a march for free speech. As predicted, it then used the killing by Islamic extremists to further crack down on free speech.
In my book "The Indispensable Right," I discuss how France has careened down the slippery slope of censorship for decades, and the desire to silence others has now become an insatiable appetite.
Macron has supported figures like his anti-free-speech ally Thierry Breton in globalizing the reach of the infamous Digital Services Act (DSA) to curtail speech, including Americans and American companies.
In his latest pitch for censorship, Macron pulls out an old saw that if everyone can speak freely, no one can speak freely.
BIBLE VERSE LEADS TO TRIAL IN EUROPE. GROWING CRACKDOWN THREATENS OUR US-UK VALUES
Macron declared that: "There is no freedom if there is no limit to my freedom, which begins with the freedom of others and respect for a common framework. I know this when I walk down the street: my freedom cannot mean hitting you, insulting you or trashing the public space we all share."
That line is remarkably telling. It captures how even "insulting" language is treated as a crime in France.
UK LAWMAKER WARNS IT’S ‘OPEN SEASON’ ON CHRISTIANS AS HE SOUNDS ALARM OVER ‘TWO-TIER JUSTICE’
Since then, France has been a leader in the rollback of free speech in the West, with ever-widening laws curtailing free speech. France regularly charges people for political and religious speech, including comedians and those criticizing the police.
Macron's visceral reaction to free speech is shared by many in the European Union.
ERDOGAN'S TURKEY CRACKS DOWN ON LGBT COMMUNITY IN NAME OF PRESERVING FAMILY VALUES
I spoke in Berlin at the World Forum, which boasted the slogan, "A New World Order with European Values." Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and other Americans cheered on the European efforts.
The Digital Services Act bars speech that is viewed as "disinformation" or "incitement." When it was passed over the condemnations of many of us in the free speech community, European Commission Executive Vice President Margrethe Vestager celebrated by declaring that it is "not a slogan anymore — that what is illegal offline should also be seen and dealt with as illegal online. Now it is a real thing. Democracy’s back."
JONATHAN TURLEY: COMEY’S SHELL POST MAY BE CRASS, BUT CHARGING HIM IS A FREE SPEECH TRAP
Despite his unpopularity in France, Macron remains a favorite of the establishment and the media in the United States. I was appalled years ago when he came to Congress to spread his anti-free speech gospel. Macron called for a joint war against "fake news" and declared, "Democracy is about true choices and rational decisions. The corruption of information is an attempt to corrode the very spirit of our democracies."
Our representatives applauded like seals with little recognition that he was referencing censorship. Macron believes that he should be able to dictate which views are "corrosive" to the spirit of democracy.
LEGAL EXPERTS WARN COMEY ‘86 47’ INDICTMENT FACES FIRST AMENDMENT HURDLES
The claim that more speech means less speech is an oxymoronic talking point of the anti-free-speech movement. As I discussed in my book, there has not been a single censorship system in history that has worked to kill a single idea or movement. Instead, it has given more power to politicians like Macron to silence critics and intimidate opponents.
In the end, the only true solution to bad speech is better speech. The public can sort out its own values and weigh opposing views without the strict guidance of the government. Free speech serves as its own disinfectant.
Ultimately, allowing people not just free inquiry, but free expression bends the arc of humanity toward truth. Hate and prejudice are inherently flawed values that tend to collapse when exposed to full, robust debate.

That does not mean that it will eliminate racism, sexism or other forms of hate. Neither censorship nor free speech can make everyone better people. However, what Macron is peddling is the same tired, dishonest claim that free speech is harmful, and the government must control what people see and say in public discourse.
This is a nation that still echoes the cry of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity ("liberté, égalité, fraternité"). However, in today’s France, "liberté" remains a declining value. Individual rights of religion and speech are routinely sacrificed in the name of "equity" and "fraternity."
