This Not The End For Swoozie and Sam Wilson Is Captain America

November 10, 2026

This week on Next Take Podcast, Canada’s own Mikel dives into two compelling conversations making waves in entertainment and pop culture! First, he explores “This Is Not the End for Swoozie,” examining the popular YouTube creator’s journey, challenges, and what the future could hold. Then, Mikel shifts gears to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to discuss “Sam Wilson Is Captain America,” breaking down the significance of Sam Wilson taking up the iconic shield, the legacy of Steve Rogers, and what this new chapter means for Marvel’s future.

YouTube veteran and animation pioneer sWooZie, whose real name is Adande Thorne, has found himself at the centre of a growing controversy following the release of his latest video, Fast and Curious 4.

After nearly two decades of entertaining millions through his unique animated storytelling, sWooZie is facing criticism over his decision to incorporate artificial intelligence into his content. The backlash intensified when animator Ashley Nichols publicly questioned the use of a character design she originally created for him. Despite the criticism, sWooZie has defended his creative decisions, explaining that AI could help him produce more content while potentially generating additional revenue to hire human animators.

The shield has been passed, but what does it truly mean to be Captain America? After Steve Rogers stepped away from the role, Sam Wilson took on the responsibility of becoming the next Captain America, marking a significant turning point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From his beginnings as the Falcon to becoming one of Marvel's most recognizable heroes, Sam Wilson's journey explores leadership, identity, legacy, and the challenges of living up to an iconic symbol.

Lawyer Goes Missing After Stealing from Clients, Archeologist Discovery 7 Ft Tall Statue and Police Talk Progress on Reform

November 9, 2026

This week on Next Take Podcast, Canada’s own Mikel and Tanyka dive into three compelling headlines: a lawyer who mysteriously disappears after allegedly stealing from clients, archaeologists uncovering a remarkable seven-foot-tall statue, and police officials discussing the progress and ongoing challenges of police reform.

A shocking case out of Toronto has raised serious questions about trust, accountability, and corruption within the legal profession. Toronto lawyer Maria Mikhailitchenko mysteriously disappeared after allegations surfaced that millions of dollars belonging to her clients had been misappropriated. A Law Society of Ontario disciplinary tribunal later determined that she had knowingly misappropriated approximately $3.5 million in client funds, leaving investigators searching for answers.

A remarkable archaeological discovery in Turkey has uncovered a mysterious 7-foot-tall marble statue dating back approximately 2,500 years. Found in the ancient city of Sardis, once the capital of the powerful Lydian Empire, the statue depicts a young man wearing unusual clothing and holding what researchers believe may be a piece of fruit. What makes this discovery particularly fascinating is that the statue was found broken into two pieces and buried face down beneath an ancient Roman road, where it had been repurposed as paving material centuries ago.Archaeologists believe the statue dates to approximately 470–450 BCE, but questions remain about the identity of the figure, its original purpose, and the cultural influences behind its unusual design.

Police reform remains a major topic of discussion as law enforcement agencies face growing pressure to improve accountability, transparency, and public trust. Police officials are speaking out about the progress made toward meaningful reform, highlighting efforts to improve officer training, strengthen community relationships, and address concerns surrounding misconduct and the use of force.
