SUZUKI=BAKUDAN ist ein Katz-und-Maus-Spiel zwischen einem Bombenleger, der den Polizeibeamten Hinweise auf kommenden Anschläge gibt und den Polizisten, die verzweifelt versuchen die Rätsel rechtzeitig zu lösen, um Menschenleben zu retten. In Hollywood ist die große Zeit der Bombenlegerthriller vorbei – hier konnten wir noch einmal richtig eintauchen in das Genre. Achtung: Der Film zeigt auch die Anschläge, zeigt Tote und Verletzte. Auf der einen Seite spannend und sehr unterhaltsam, auf der anderen Seite ziemlich kompliziert in den verschachtelten Rätseln. Für tiefere Charakterzeichnungen fehlt der Raum und die eine oder andere Polizeiarbeit wird in der Realität hoffentlich professioneller umgesetzt :-) Den Podcast haben wir direkt nach dem Film auf Nippon Connection 2026 aufgenommen. Am Mikrofon: Karoline (DieMelanie), Markus Mäurer von translate or die und Thomas. (Diesmal ab 3:50 milde Spoiler)

Who was Stanley DeSantis? Why is a 2004 Slipknot tee selling for $2,000? And what does a Daft Punk Roulette residency shirt have to do with how fashion brands sell you a lifestyle in 2026?Sol Thompson and Michael Smith return from their Neuehouse live recording for Episode 3 of Pair of Kings Season 14, continuing the season's deep dive into integrated fashion — the symbiotic loop where brands, hobbies, and ephemera matter more than the clothes. This week the boys go solo on the post-COVID explosion of the vintage band tee resale market and the story of Stanley DeSantis, the late character actor turned licensing impresario whose 90s company Passing For Sane made some of the most collectible all-over print T-shirts ever: X-Files, Aeon Flux, Spawn, Wizard of Oz, Speed Racer, Beavis and Butt-Head, Gone With the Wind, Pink Panther, Independence Day. The man licensed everything.Sol and Michael unpack why vintage T-shirts became fashion's most contested asset class: NYC's 8x vintage multiplier, why Slipknot Iowa-era merch and Daft Punk Vegas Roulette tees command four-figure resale on eBay and Whatnot, single stitch vs. double stitch hems, and the rodent-brain instinct of saving a Dub Tribe Sound System eBay search for years. They revisit the Miu Miu Literary Club through intellectual signaling (Simone de Beauvoir, Fumiko Enchi), the Aimé Leon Dore x Porsche 993 Turbo collab, defend RRL as American integrated fashion's original blueprint, and confront the imposter syndrome of wearing someone else's faded jeans.Other topics: Hedi Slimane Dior Homme resale gatekeeping, Charlie XCX Pop 2 merch as a future grail, the $3,700 Lady Gaga Schott Perfecto, why Akira and Ghost in the Shell tees became NFTs from first principles, scenecore and metalcore history (Suicide Silence, Dance Gavin Dance, The Used, Odd Future), Graceland Ridgewood, Rick Birkenstocks, and a moment for the goat — Stanley DeSantis, 1953–2005.Brought to you by ScentSplit.

Big stream or big screen? This week, Tosin Ajayi and Shaun Harris fly solo as Sharon enjoys a getaway in Dorset and Holly explores the culture of London. The duo settles in to decide if your hard-earned money is better spent at the cinema or in the comfort of your own home.Lee Cronin's The Mummy: Tosin dives into this Blumhouse production, which swaps desert adventures for a harrowing psychological horror story in Cairo and New Mexico. While praising the performances of Jack Reynor and the child actors, Tosin finds the film's two-hour runtime a bit bloated. Rating: 3/5 Stars40th Anniversary Re-release of Akira: Shaun witnesses the legendary 1988 anime on the big screen for the first time. He finds the first hour of neo-Tokyo biker gang warfare and military experimentation gripping, though he admits the final act gets a bit "slow and weird." Rating: 3/5 StarsEagles Over London (Amazon Prime): Shaun revisits this 1969 "Macaroni War" film (the Italian war movie equivalent of a Spaghetti Western). He enjoys the D-Day sabotage plot and the classic 1960s use of split-screen, despite the technically inaccurate period equipment. Rating: 3/5 StarsCaptive Audience (BBC iPlayer): Tosin explores this three-part true-crime documentary about the 1972 disappearance and miraculous return of Steven Stayner. While the first two episodes are riveting, Tosin feels the final installment falls into the trap of sensationalism. Rating: 3/5 StarsWith every review landing a solid average, Tosin and Shaun declare this week a dead tie between the cinema and the streaming platforms.Next Week: The team prepares for the highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic!Join the Conversation!Think we're crazy for giving Akira only three stars?

Akira 1 introduces readers to a gritty Neo-Tokyo, built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by a blast of unknown origin that triggered World War III. The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever when paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, making him a target for a shadowy agency that will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like the one that levelled Tokyo. At the core of the agency's motivation is a raw, all-consuming fear of an unthinkable, monstrous power known only as Akira.News 1:43Akira 9:20Back Matter Matters 46:58The Pull-List 50:14Linktr.ee/tradewaitersFollow Us!

Você sabia que nostalgia já foi considerada uma doença mental diagnosticável? Que soldados suíços no século XVII eram internados por sentirem saudade de casa? E que hoje, você pode ter nostalgia de uma década que nunca viveu?A indústria cultural descobriu que vender o passado é mais seguro (e lucrativo) do que arriscar no futuro. Nove dos dez maiores sucessos de bilheteria de 2025 eram sequências ou remakes. Mas por que isso acontece? O que a neurociência diz sobre nossa relação com memórias? E como um conceito chamado Anemoia explica por que a Geração Z tem saudade dos anos 80 sem nunca ter pisado neles?Rafael Arinelli, Reinaldo Feurhuber e Manel Messias tem um papo filosófico e científico sobre a nostalgia. Eles discutem Hauntology (vivemos assombrados por futuros que nunca chegaram?), falsas memórias induzidas por críticos de cinema, e por que remakes de Rei Leão e Akira existem quando os originais são perfeitos.Tem Mark Fisher, Fredric Jameson, capitalismo tardio estragando hobbies, e a pergunta que ninguém quer responder: será que perdemos a capacidade de imaginar o novo?• 04m05: Pauta Principal• 1h10m02: Plano Detalhe• 1h18m11: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • André Marinho Moreira• Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Guilherme S.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to you heard it here last, where we talk about news, you've already heard.https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/parable-games/ion-heart-multiplayer-a-lo-fi-mech-ttrpg/launch_partyThe fantastic Ion Heart a solo roleplaying game from Parable Games where you take on the role of a mech and it's pilot is making the leap to multiplayer. Christina and I reviewed the Ion Heart Solo game for Pop Geeks last year and we are getting ready to dive in and give this one a review as well so look for that review to drop in the next month or so. I am looking forward to seeing how the quirky and fun game translates into a multiplayer platform and I really love everything that's coming out of Parable Games right now.Christina, I know you haven't seen the game, but any thoughts?[Kick to Christina]Mike, while you didn't review the game you have a lot of history with solo roleplaying games, you wrote one yourself with the Radiance Engine. What are your initial thoughts on taking a solo game and turning it into a multiplayer game.[Kick to Mike]Ion Heart dropped to Bakerkit on March 24th, so check it out.Next up we've got an upcoming tabletop roleplaying game covering one of my favorite anima films, Ghost in the Shell. https://www.enworld.org/threads/a-second-ghost-in-the-shell-ttrpg-is-on-its-way.718020/Mantic Games has announced that the new Ghost in the Shell TTRPG will be based solely off of the acclaimed manga. The plan to publish the TTRPG in 2026. The game uses an all-new system created by Alessio Cavatore of Games Workshop fame and Zak Barouh a writer, editor, and game designer. While I am not very familiar with the manga, I was a huge fan of the 1995 film. That film and Akira opened my eyes to Japanese animation. There have been attempts at turning the source material into a game before and this one isn't the only Ghost in The Shell game planned for 2026.

Together, they explore how politics has evolved from Pat's first-hand experiences growing up in the 1970s to the complex and often volatile landscape we see today. Beyond politics, the conversation takes a powerful turn as he opens up about his near-death experience—an event that profoundly reshaped his outlook on life, priorities, and what truly matters. It's a rare and candid moment that adds a deeply human layer to their discussion. This episode is an honest, intergenerational dialogue—one that blends history, personal experience, and hope for what comes next.  Produced by Gael Force Media.

(Presented by TLPBLACK: High-fidelity threat intelligence and research tools for modern security teams. From curated Passive DNS and real-time C2 monitoring to actionable IOC feeds and daily malware samples, we help defenders detect, hunt, and disrupt threats faster, with seamless integration into SIEM and SOAR workflows.) Huntress threat intelligence analyst Greg Linares shares insights on the modern ransomware ecosystem, including how crews operate like businesses and why Akira, Medusa, RansomHub, and Qilin cause so much damage. Plus, signs of overlap between ransomware and nation-state activity, what “time to ransom” really means for defenders, and why techniques like ClickFix and credential theft keep working at scale. The conversation also covers the surge in RMM tool abuse, how “living off the land” attacks can unfold without traditional malware, and the basic defenses smaller organizations can prioritize.

In this episode of Missing Frames, John Mills returns to tackle one of Akira Kurosawa's most acclaimed films: HIGH AND LOW. Along the way, Shawn and John discuss the film's remarkable cinematography, its influence on filmmakers from David Fincher to Michael Mann, and why Kurosawa's storytelling still feels strikingly modern more than sixty years later. They also reflect on Kurosawa's legacy in global cinema, how his work shaped everything from the American Western to Star Wars, and why High and Low deserves to be considered one of the greatest crime films ever made. HOSTSShawn EastridgeJohn Mills
