We return this week with a special episode featuring Theo Rossi (Come with Me, Bruton, Sons of Anarchy), who sat down with us for an absurdly unhinged conversation about horror movies, practical effects, childhood nightmares, and movies that permanently damage your ability to sleep throughthe night. A Staten Island native, Rossi brought his own history with horror into the conversation, with discussing growing up in the 1980s seeing films like The Howling, The Omen, being terrified by A Nightmare on Elm Street, and the completely rational childhood decision to put a giant Freddy Krueger poster above his bed as a form of psychological warfare against his own nightmares. Naturally, it didn't go as planned. We celebrate our love of what makes horror scary, comparing supernatural monsters and traditional slashers with the more realistic, cerebral terror of The Strangers, Vacancy, and The Poughkeepsie Tapes, along with why Achilles tendon injuries might just be the most skin crawling thing in horror. It wouldn't be a CREEP-O-RAMA episode without random tangents, either. From discussing the upcoming AI meets Mad Max apocalypse, Antarctica, aliens, and why the correct survival strategy for the end of civilization is to equip the appropriate boots, this episode's got em'. Join us as we gush blood over our favorite horror tropes, VHS nostalgia, and a childhood filled with monsters come to life.CREEP-O-RAMA is: Store: CREEP-O-RAMAYouTube: @creep-o-ramaJosh: @joshblevesqueArtwork: @bargainbinblasphemyTheme: @imfigureAudio: @stranjlove
This week on The 3 Retro Movie Geeks, we're putting the pedal to the metal for a very special episode celebrating the greatest movie cars of the 1980s! With Paul and Scott away, Rob is joined by returning favourites Marc Parslow and Mark Bearling to debate, reminisce, and ultimately decide which iconic movie car deserves to be crowned the king of the decade. From the time-travelling DeLorean in Back to the Future to KITT from Knight Rider, the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the Ford Falcon Interceptor from Mad Max 2, and the Ghostbusters' legendary Cadillac, the team take a nostalgic drive through some of the most recognisable vehicles ever to grace the big screen. Which car had the biggest cultural impact? Which one would we most love to own? And which still makes us feel like kids every time it appears on screen? Expect plenty of friendly debate, surprising opinions, behind-the-scenes trivia, and a healthy dose of 80s nostalgia as the guys share their personal favourites and invite listeners to do the same. Buckle up, turn the key, and join us for an episode packed with horsepower, memories, and pure retro movie magic!
Stijn Schmitz welcomes Doomberg to the show. Doomberg is the Head Writer For The Doomberg Team and the Creator of the Doomberg Substack. Doomberg analyzes the escalating geopolitical risks following the significant damage to Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline, a critical artery for crude oil exports. He argues that while the initial closure of the Strait of Hormuz did not cause the expected price shock, the pipeline attack pushes an already stressed system into a red zone, with Brent crude nearing demand destruction levels. The core risk, however, extends beyond oil flows. Doomberg describes Arab Gulf states as metastable constructs propped up by the illusion of U.S. military hegemony. The rapid territorial gains by the Houthis in Yemen represent a potential catalyst for a sudden collapse of this perceived stability, where the common knowledge that a regime is weak can trigger rapid, systemic change. He suggests the possibility of a Saudi leadership crisis, such as MBS fleeing, is a low-probability but enormously consequential event that markets may be underpricing. The discussion shifts to the war in Ukraine, where Doomberg predicts a devastating Russian strike on energy infrastructure, citing public Russian military orders and U.S. intelligence warnings. He notes that attacks on refineries paradoxically cap crude oil prices while causing diesel crack spreads to explode, as refineries are the sole customers for crude. This dynamic, combined with refineries running at dangerous capacity, creates acute tightness in refined products. Doomberg emphasizes that in conflicts, victory often belongs to the side with higher pain tolerance, and he assesses that Iran and the Houthis can endure far more hardship than Western consumers. He warns that the convergence of these crises in the Middle East and Ukraine, alongside reckless rhetoric from NATO-aligned nations, creates a genuine risk of uncontrollable global escalation.

Regional Australia has been key to so much of Australia's cinematic success. Can Australia's film industry produce another outback classic like Crocodile Dundee?
Manchmal gibt es Regisseure, die nicht in eine Top 10 passen, weil sie schlicht und einfach zu wenig gedreht haben. Damit sie trotzdem für eines unserer Filmduelle in Frage kommen, haben wir uns gedacht, wir bilden einfach mal sinnvolle Gruppen: in diesem Fall vier Regisseure, die so kräftig an der Australian New Wave beteiligt waren, dass sich danach Hollywood-Studios um sie gerissen haben: Baz Luhrmann, der nach „Strictly Ballroom“ in Australien in den USA „Moulin Rouge“ gedreht hat, Peter Weir, dessen „Picknick am Valentinstag“ zu „Der Club der toten Dichter“ führte, Phillip Noyce, der „Todstille“ gegen die Jack-Ryan-Filme mit Harrison Ford eintauschte, und George Miller, der nach „Mad Max“ in Australien nach Übersee ging, um – nun ja – noch mehr „Mad Max“-Filme zu drehen. Und da in diesem Fall nicht nur unterschiedliche Filmgeschmäcker, sondern unterschiedliche Vorlieben oder Antipathien für/gegen einzelne Regisseure mit reinspielen, könnte es wieder einmal hoch hergehen.

Come with us to a land down under this week as we head back to Australia for a look at Peter Weir's first feature film, The Cars That Ate Paris. Paris is a small town with a terrible secret. Cars roll off the road at an alarming rate. The drivers are often killed in the crashes or rendered brain damaged. What's going on there? Poor mild-mannered Arthur finds out the hard way when his brother crashes the car and he is the only survivor left to find his way in this town where the people lure drivers to their deaths and then loot what remains. Things were going so well but the youth are restless. They tear around town in cars cobbled together from bits and pieces, nightmare vehicles that threaten to consume the entire town in a demolition derby of mayhem if anyone in town tries to impose any kind of order on them. In many ways, Weir's movie is a forerunner for Mad Max, painting a picture of an Australia in crisis. Fuel is as hard to come by as work is. Everyone is on edge and the old order is desperate to hold onto its power. It's an odd movie that Dave loves and Bryan is conflicted over. Check out this episode to get all the info.

PACIFIC WATCHJeff Bliss, "Pacific Watch," and Michael Vlahos ("Germanicus"), join John Batchelor in a combined Pacific Watch and Londinium Chronicles session. Bliss reports on Southern California's intense high-pressure ridge and tropical moisture pushed up by storms off Mexico, creating a highly humid, Florida-like climate with inland desert temperatures consistently reaching 110 to 115 degrees. Off San Diego, ocean temperatures have surged to an unprecedented 79 degrees, sparking explosive growth in the stingray population, drawing in numerous great white and hammerhead sharks, and prompting massive tuna runs unlike anything in recent memory. At the Newport Harbor entrance, southern storms are generating massive swells that bounce off a stone jetty to create "the Wedge"—a notoriously dangerous surf spot where waves abruptly swell from 4-foot faces into towering 20-to-25-foot walls that break directly on the shore. Bliss then describes "dystopian" homeless encampments in Berkeley and Los Angeles that resemble scenes from Mad Max, enabled by local policies that do not roust campers and provide clean needles and meth pipes. Organized crime syndicates have begun controlling some of these spaces, renting out tent plots and broken-down RVs to the vulnerable, and the extreme lack of sanitation has triggered a modern typhus outbreak—prompting Bliss and Vlahos to compare the camps to ancient leper colonies and disease-ridden medieval crusader camps outside Constantinople. (1)LONDINIUM CHRONICLESGaius (John Batchelor) and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos): Meeting at their expanded wine bar by the Thames in 92 AD Londinium—amid first-century trademark disputes, Greek vintners, and the Eighth Legion—the hosts dissect contemporary international conflicts, arguing that the modern "emperor" is actively exacerbating chaos. They analyze the "phony war" dynamics of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, pointing to CIA Director Ratcliffe's unacknowledged mission to Moscow, Belarusian combat readiness drills, Polish tank movements along the Kaliningrad border, and Ukraine's severely depleted military budget. Germanicus predicts that the current global tension will not escalate into a global death spiral, but will instead end "not with a bang but a whimper" via the collapse and humiliation of American global power—much like the sudden and abrupt collapse of British imperial power in 1948.

The end of this third entry in the franchise officially marks the halfway point of our look at the six Milla Jovovich/Paul WS Anderson Resident Evil movies. And it might just be the highpoint of the series. Undead crows, dried out beef jerky desert zombies, a Mad Max setting plus the inclusion of both Claire Redfield and Albert Wesker, essential video game characters! These movies are good and will almost certainly without question remain good from here on out.

“We are the beginning of a bright and shiny dark age.” — Kurt Andersen, from The Breakup It's 2045 and America has got divorced. That's the premise of The Breakup, by the historian and novelist Kurt Andersen. “The future is fiction. It hasn't happened yet,” the historian in Andersen reminds us. But his near-term fictional future, an America of civil war and national divorce, certainly isn't inconceivable. Nor, in an increasingly divided United States between high-tech coastal elites and a medieval hinterland, does such a scenario appear quite as nightmarish as it once did. In contrast with the bloodiness, say, of Alex Garland's Hollywood version of an American civil war, Andersen's literary breakup is the “scattered violence of a Middle Eastern kind.” Lebanon comes to the United States in the form of loosely confederated militias, assassinations and kidnappings. This war kills 28,000, half of them civilians. It could have been worse. Indeed, it is worse today — when compared to the 44,000 people killed by guns each year. The novel also tells the story of the breakup of a twenty-three-year marriage between the Tennessean poet Natalie and the San Francisco tech bro Asher. Natalie doesn't much like Silicon Valley and warns that “we are the beginning of a bright and shiny dark age.” But for Andersen this age isn't totally dark. Marriages and countries break up, he reminds us, and that is often the beginning rather than the end of the story. Not quite darkness at noon. So get ready for the mid-21st-century break-up of the United States. Such a split might actually be brighter than America's current dark marriage. Five Takeaways • The Future Is Fiction. After Fantasyland (five hundred years of how America went haywire) and Evil Geniuses (the last fifty), Andersen considered a third history — of the future — and realized the genre is folly: futurism is just experts guessing, Alvin Toffler in a new suit. “The future is fiction. It hasn't happened yet. It's imaginary until it happens.” So the trilogy's conclusion became a novel — his fifth — and the bookseller algorithms' “dystopian” label gets a correction: dystopian satire, maybe, but “we are in a dystopian period now.” Where Alex Garland's Civil War embedded journalists inside the fighting, The Breakup lives with a couple seven years after it — the good, the bad, the thank-God-we-were-okay — and, chalk it up to the Midwestern upbringing, it ends ambiguous but not without hope.• A Manageable Civil War. The backstory his fictional journalism flashes back to: a blue political comeback — Supreme Court expansion, Puerto Rico and DC statehood — ignites a ferocious right-wing backlash, and the violence that follows is “scattered… of a Middle Eastern kind”: loosely confederated militias assassinating, kidnapping, and bombing, while a presidential administration insists it's a crime spree — until the military crushes the insurgency with drones and robots in eighteen months. The toll: 28,000 dead, half civilians, 45,000 wounded — numbers Andrew notes are roughly a single year of American gun deaths, and that Andersen's character Natalie keeps in proportion: “could have been worse… We're not living in Mad Max time.” Against the 1860s — millions dead from a far smaller population — this is a war America can talk itself into surviving. Which may be the scariest thing about it.• The Disunion's Logistics. The novel's deep research problem: how would you actually do it? You can't draw an 1860 line, because the real divide runs between cities and countryside, not North and South — so the negotiated Disunion takes seven years, producing Natalie's Free American Republic and Asher's smaller United States. The Brexit analogy gets swatted (“the EU is not a country” — this is a whole different deal), balkanization into five or twelve republics is doubted (the prosperities of scale), and the best twist is secessionist remorse: Montana runs the numbers and realizes the West, unlike the South, gives more to Washington than it takes — so why join them? Beneath it all, the state nobody thinks they need: Medicare, Social Security, the federal machinery people discover only as DOGE-style contempt dismantles it. And still, the magic holds: immigrants keep coming, because only in America do you become American by showing up.• The Soft Breakup Papers. The nonfiction beneath the novel is Andersen's New York Times essay: America as a long, loveless marriage — separate lives, separate tracks, staying together for the kids — that may already have had its soft breakup. His research assembled what nobody had put together: ten- and twenty-state climate alliances, sanctuary cities, Second Amendment sanctuary states and a thousand such counties — “governmental apparatuses emerging for these separate governments” since 2009, unremarked because the only people saying “national divorce” were Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rush Limbaugh, and nobody serious could agree with them. The mechanism is Hemingway's bankruptcy: gradually, then suddenly. Fintan O'Toole warned him the book could become self-fulfilling prophecy; Andersen answered that the elephant in the room must be named — and he has the Cassandra receipts, having published Fantasyland's post-truth diagnosis before Trump was first elected. “Don't blame me. We'll reconnoiter in ten or twenty years.”• A Bright and Shiny Dark Age. The episode's keeper, from the novel's tech-despising heroine: “We are the beginning of a bright and shiny dark age.” One political party marches back toward the medieval — no public health, no vaccines, no intellectualism — while the Bay Area ships magic, William Gibson's unevenly distributed future arriving all at once. In 2045, AI is background hum “like electricity,” the tech trillionaires are plural, and the robots are everywhere and unremarkable — though Andersen's own book trade is his caution against straight lines: print was declared dead fifteen years ago and still sells half of all books. The age of anxiety — the loneliness, social media's riled-and-angry business model (30% of the blame or 70%, “but it's large”), a president “selling pessimism” in his simultaneous idiocy and brilliance against optimism's old American pillar — reads, in the novel's hindsight, like the premonition of the breakup. And yet no zombies, no rubble: not without hope. About the Guest Kurt Andersen is the New York Times bestselling author of the histories Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire and Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America, and the novels Turn of the Century, Heyday, True Believers, and You Can't Spell America Without Me. Co-founder of Spy magazine and longtime host of the Peabody-winning public radio program Studio 360, he has written for the New York Times, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker. The Breakup (Random House, August 2026), his fifth novel, is set in the AI-suffused, post-civil-war America of 2045 — “the most brilliant social novelist of our time,” per Walter Isaacson, “in the tradition of Tom Wolfe and Don DeLillo, but even funnier and deeper.” ...

40ème édition du festival Nuits d'Afrique, zoom sur le Congo. Nos invités avec une forte délégation congolaise : Diblo Dibala, Fulu Miziki, Joyce N'Sana + La Murga Ensamble (diaspora pan-latino), Ed People influenceur (Belgique). 1er invité : Diblo Dibala (RD Congo) Diblo Dibala n'est rien de moins que le créateur du soukous et l'un des artisans des grandes heures de ce genre musical si entraînant. Une véritable légende respectée, qui a inspiré plusieurs générations de jeunes artistes. Chacune de ses apparitions, sans exception, au Festival international Nuits d'Afrique ces 40 dernières années a fait le buzz. Surnommé Machine Gun pour sa dextérité à la guitare et ses sébènes affolants, Diblo Dibala livre un soukous explosif qui fait monter la température en crescendo, défiant quiconque de résister à l'envie d'onduler du bassin. Autre légende – et pilier de groupes de référence comme Bella Bella (avec Kanda Bongo Man), Loketo (avec Aurlus Mabélé) et Matchatcha, Diblo Dibala continue de laisser sa marque après plus de 50 ans de carrière. Dans la lignée des génies de la guitare universelle, Dibala tombe dans la marmite à l'adolescence. Autodidacte virtuose à 15 ans, on le réclame dans plusieurs groupes établis de Kinshasa. Son talent naturel ne se cantonne pas longtemps à la RDC, et il déploie ses ailes vers Bruxelles puis Paris dans les années 80. Diblo crée ce son unique effréné des cordes s'emballant sans contrôle, comme si une force externe les pinçait en une partition folle dans la durée qui fait bouger-bouger aux premières secondes jusqu'au silence final. Une vraie aérobie en musique qui marque les rassemblements de l'existence, baptêmes et mariages. À plus de 70 ans, Diblo impressionne par sa vitalité rythmique agissant comme trame percussive de chaque composition. Il est le chef d'orchestre, le meneur de bande, la clef de sol à lui seul. Une superstar soukous qui rend hommage à la gamme des sentiments et sensations, avec des pièces étourdissantes de plaisir comme « Amour et souvenir », « Laissez-passer » et en 2021, « Etoula », en collaboration avec les légendes Loketo, ambassadeurs mondiaux du genre soukous. Instagram. Puis nous recevons Joyce N'Sana (Congo-Brazza/Québec). Révélation Radio-Canada, Joyce N'Sana conjugue Reggae, Gospel, Hip-hop, Jazz et Afro-blues en ce qu'elle nomme son Afrobluehop, un cocktail explosif bien ancré dans la tradition musicale du Congo et portant un message de paix, qu'elle délivre de sa voix puissante aux inflexions Soul, en anglais, en lingala, en lari et en créole. L'auteure-compositrice et interprète grandit dans le contexte des guerres congolaises. Elle livre un message clair et déterminé et propage un art de paix. Elle a été élue en 2022 révélation Radio-Canada en Musique du Monde. Instagram. C'est au tour de Fulu Miziki (RD Congo) Le collectif capte « le son des poubelles » de leur quartier kinois Ngwaka, et sa résultante est hallucinante ! Leur vision en cinq blocs : Eco-Friendly-Afro-Futuristic-Punk ! Dans leur imaginaire, l'être humain baigne dans la plénitude, en respect de la Nature. Fini le gaspillage est leur appel mondial, c'est pourquoi les jeunes hommes créent aussi leurs tenues à base d'éléments recyclés. Jusqu'à leurs masques mystérieux… Dans leurs voix, l'expression du panafricanisme, l'espace continental de tous les espoirs. Et un souhait pour la paix dans leur pays ballotté par des affrontements et tant de personnes déplacées. Pour ces artistes que Libération qualifie de force « Mad Max 3.0 », il ne faut rien lâcher et croire. Cet optimisme leur porte chance car le collectif essaime les festivals d'Europe en 2024, des Vieilles Charrues à Couleur Café à Bruxelles jusqu'à Berlin au Humboldtforum. L'effet « Twerkanda », la traduction de leur démarche artistique combinant tant de styles : afro, disco, house et bien sûr, le soukous congolais qui fait bouger et sauter ! La fabrication de leurs propres instruments, costumes de performance et masques est essentielle à leur démarche. Leur son unique supporte un message panafricain de libération artistique, de paix et un regard sévère sur la situation écologique de la République Démocratique du Congo et du monde entier. Pour le collectif, tout peut être récupéré et ré-enchanté. En parallèle, le collectif anime des ateliers interactifs autour de la création musicale et du recyclage, adaptés à tous les âges. Ces ateliers, basés sur les principes de l'éducation populaire, permettent aux participants de fabriquer leurs propres instruments et de réfléchir à l'écologie de manière ludique et créative. Nous avons rencontré Pitschou Bosele Bokungako. Instagram. Sans oublier La Murga Ensamble (Colombie/Québec/AmLat) La Murga Ensamble est un collectif musical né à Montréal en 2023, fondé par les Colombiens Mateo Díaz et Juan Quintero, animé par le désir de faire revivre la salsa live telle qu'elle vibre en Colombie. Ancré dans la salsa dura, le boogaloo et les rythmes afro-caribéens, le groupe revisite les sonorités des années 60 à 80 avec une énergie résolument contemporaine. De rencontres spontanées, est née une formation nomade capable d'investir scènes, salles et espaces alternatifs. Réunissant certains des meilleurs musiciens afro-latins de Montréal, La Murga cultive une approche ouverte et collaborative, mêlant concerts et DJ sets vinyles. Chaque performance célèbre la danse, la communauté et la fête collective à travers une salsa puissante et contagieuse. Nous avons parlé à Mateo Diaz. Instagram.

Anatol Lieven: The discussion highlights a dystopian shift in modern naval combat, where the Russian ghost fleet employs Mad Max tactics, using netting and spikes, to defend against Ukrainian drone attacks. Anatol Lieven describes a global spread of drone technology that threatens energy prices and international stability. Both Russia and Ukraine suffer from the illusion of an imminent total victory, despite a grinding stalemate in which Russia holds a stronger economic position because of its self-funded war effort while Ukraine remains dependent on precarious European aid. Lieven warns of a potential sea war escalation if Russia retaliates against the seizure of its ships, potentially drawing NATO and the US into a direct naval clash. The conversation also touches on British politics, noting that Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces immense pressure regarding immigration and military spending despite his desire to focus on domestic issues.

TABLE OF CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-23-3036.Anatol Lieven: The discussion highlights a dystopian shift in modern naval combat, where the Russian ghost fleet employs Mad Max tactics, using netting and spikes, to defend against Ukrainian drone attacks. Anatol Lieven describes a global spread of drone technology that threatens energy prices and international stability. Both Russia and Ukraine suffer from the illusion of an imminent total victory, despite a grinding stalemate in which Russia holds a stronger economic position because of its self-funded war effort while Ukraine remains dependent on precarious European aid. Lieven warns of a potential sea war escalation if Russia retaliates against the seizure of its ships, potentially drawing NATO and the US into a direct naval clash. The conversation also touches on British politics, noting that Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces immense pressure regarding immigration and military spending despite his desire to focus on domestic issues. (1)Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Wall Street Journal editorial board: Venezuela is grappling with the aftermath of severe earthquakes while navigating a complex political transition under the Trump administration's influence. Despite increased oil production, major oil companies are hesitant to invest because of a lack of contractual assurances, bureaucratic overreach, and the absence of a legitimate rule of law. Mary Anastasia O'Grady explains that the current provisional government, led by Delcy Rodríguez, is associated with the previous narco-terror regime, creating a transparency crisis regarding oil profits held in US escrow accounts. While the administration pursues a three-phase plan of stabilization, recovery, and a return to democracy, O'Grady argues the regime is simply buying time to stay in power. As long as oil prices remain high and the US is preoccupied with conflicts in the Middle East, the illegitimate regime has little incentive to hold the free and fair elections demanded by popular opposition leader María Corina Machado. (2)Veronique de Rugy: Veronique de Rugy critiques the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, commonly known as the Jones Act, which requires cargo moved between American ports to be transported on ships that are US-built, US-owned, and US-crewed. Originally intended to protect the American merchant marine after World War I, the act has instead caused domestic shipbuilding costs to skyrocket, making American vessels four to five times more expensive than those built in Asia. Consequently, the US fleet has dwindled, and consumers face higher prices for goods as transportation shifts to more polluting methods such as trucking. Despite its failure to achieve its stated goals, the act is sustained by special interests, including unions and specific shipyards, which exert significant political influence. Current efforts to maintain waivers for energy and fertilizer transportation are facing strong opposition from 52 House Republicans. (3)Craig Unger: Craig Unger explores a sidetracked FBI counterintelligence investigation into Donald Trump's decades-long ties to Russian interests. Unlike criminal inquiries, counterintelligence investigations focus on national security breaches and the laundering of influence, even when no explicit crime is proven. Unger asserts that Russian mafia figures, acting as adjuncts to state intelligence, began bailing out Trump's failing real estate ventures as early as 1984. These transactions, often involving cash purchases of condominiums in Trump Tower, allegedly turned the former president into an asset of Russian intelligence. Unger argues that the Robert Mueller investigation was a dud because it focused narrowly on criminal acts rather than this broader compromise. The discussion concludes by noting Trump's consistent, long-standing hostility toward NATO, which Unger says mirrors Soviet-era talking points and raises ongoing concerns regarding US national security. (4)Graham McAleer: Pope Leo has issued a bold encyclical addressing the ethical and social threats posed by artificial intelligence. Graham McAleer explains that the Pope uses the biblical image of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel to characterize AI as a manifestation of human darkness and godlike pride. A primary concern is the asymmetry of wealth, in which a small, secretive class of Silicon Valley oligarchs controls a technology that operates largely outside state law. While the Church acknowledges AI's potential benefits in medicine and education, it warns that the oligarchic structure of the industry challenges state power and treats users as livestock for data farming. The Pope explicitly calls for government regulation to protect human dignity, yet McAleer notes the fundamental contradiction of expecting the state to control private entities that have already become more powerful than many governments. (5)Alex Wright — Multi-Part, Part One: Alex Wright, author of Empire of Ink: The Printers and Radicals Who Invented the American Newspaper, details the uniquely American invention of the newspaper, beginning with Mary Katherine Goddard's printing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Early printing was a grueling, high-status trade where printer's devils, or apprentices, worked with lead and ink balls. Technological evolution was driven by necessity; rag shortages in the nineteenth century led to bizarre experiments, including turning imported Egyptian mummy linen into paper. The Penny Press, pioneered by Benjamin Day, revolutionized the industry by catering to the working class with tabloids and hoaxes, much to the horror of elitists such as Charles Dickens. Wright emphasizes that early American journalism thrived on a sharing economy in which newspapers were exempted from copyright and postal subsidies encouraged editors to cut and paste each other's work, effectively networking the young nation together. (6)Evan Ellis, US Army War College and a State Department voice: Professor Evan Ellis provides a comprehensive update on Latin American stability, starting with Chile's President Kast, who is tackling immigration and the rise of gangs such as Tren de Aragua while balancing economic ties with China. In Colombia, President De la Espriella is implementing a hardline approach against narco-terrorists following a devastating 7.4 earthquake. The situation in Venezuela remains critical; while oil production has increased to 1.16 million barrels per day, there is zero transparency regarding the $13 million in monthly profits allegedly flowing to the Rodríguez gangsters. Opposition leader Dinora Figueroa is negotiating a gradual return to trust, but the regime shows no intention of relinquishing power. Finally, Ellis notes that El Niño poses a severe threat of drought to the Panama Canal, which will likely disrupt international shipping and further strain regional economies. (7)Wright's Part Two runs tomorrow and takes its own tail in that day's sequence.
Deke from Sidetrackd16 enters the post-apocalyptic fray as we discuss a film that is an audacious blend of Mad Max, Escape from New York, and Planet of the Apes. That's right! It's Sergio Martino's 2019: After the Fall of New York from 1983. So, grab a seat as we dive into the singular thing that is Italian Cinema, pay a small tribute to the legend that is George Eastman, and try to get out with our minds and bodies intact.
Harrison and Nick break down this weeks news and milestones including peculiar moves by Venable, Julio Rodriguez not getting a challenge when asked, Mad Max, Aaron Nola and Mike Trout Milestones and Out of Left Field Discussions. Harrison has created 2 New Types of Trivia also so stay around for that!! Come be a part of the only Baseball Show out there, where YOU are a part of the discussion ALWAYS!
Sho Alli and Kaitlyn McGrath break down the Blue Jays' 7-5 extra-innings win vs. the Phillies to take the series! They take your calls and texts, and discuss Max Scherzer notching four strikeouts over 5.1 IP to take sole possession of 10th place on the all-time strikeout list with 3516 Ks - how did Mad Max look against the Phillies, and is there a chance of him hitting ninth place this year with 19 Ks to go? Plus, they discuss the bullpen figuring it out in real time in the games post-trade deadline, some terrific plays from Nathan Lukes on both offence and defence, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. smashing a solo bomb early on as he got on-base three times - how much more do we need to see from Vladdy before we say 'he's back'?

It's a very upsetting time for us all having to revisited Space Jam 2. I mean sure it stars four times champion NBA superstar LeBron James plus the Looney Tunes plus every IP Warner Brothers has ever had their sweaty hands on (Game of Thrones, The Matrix, Gremlins, Harry Potter, Clockwork Orange, IT, Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, The Joker, Rick & Morty, Mad Max etc). The result is a more Ready Player One than Roger Rabbit which some people might like but I don't like that.

This time, we're looking at two characters - Mr Norton and the Vulvalini General - played by the same actor.
This time, we’re looking at two characters – Mr Norton and the Vulvalini General – played by the same actor. The post Mad Max in Character – Mr Norton first appeared on NEOZAZ.
Opie swore he was chill today. Lasted about three seconds. Ron shows up sunburned like a peeled tomato after trusting Joe Rogan's zinc oxide sunscreen (spoiler: he looked like a powdered-wig Founding Father and still got roasted). Tony drops the “feminine shoulders” bomb and suddenly we're mid-shoulder-off. Meatball hygiene debates, De Niro face-offs, a pot dealer who ghosted, e-bikes turning NYC sidewalks into Mad Max, and the uncomfortable truth that Opie's dog has… strong opinions about delivery guys. Also: North West tickets got canceled, cats are garbage, and nobody can finish a sentence without Ron interrupting. The same unfiltered chaos that made the old Opie and Anthony days legendary — classic early FU Friday energy. Hit play before they start matching denim again.Thanks for donating to the podcast https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/JANCGHFW7GJHA helps us keep going. Have a great day!

This very podcast was predicated upon one of our favorite movies from one of our favorite directors, 1990: Bronx Warriors from director Enzo G. Castellari. The following year we covered its sequel, Escape From The Bronx but there's a secret sequel and we felt incomplete leaving it out. Until now! The New Barbarians is a sequel in the loosest possible sense. It takes place in 2019 and steals liberally from George Miller's 1981 sequel to Mad Max, The Road Warrior. We find Mike Brady lookalike, Scorpion driving the post-apocalyptic wasteland, on the run from his former gang, the genocidal Templars. Mike's dedication to the loner lifestyle is put to the test when he rescues a mysterious injured woman from the Templars and he'll be called on to protect a colony of survivors when the ghosts of his past return to settle an old beef. New Barbarians leans into the spaghetti western overtures that inspired Mad Max while stealing from the same movie but on a significantly smaller budget. Italian Mas Max ripoffs are already a cheap, threadbare affair but this movie, the very first of many more to follow, starts off from an even cheaper, more threadbare position and it's quite frankly amazing that this movie proved that ripping off a high-flying Australian stunt spectacular with the crappiest cars and wasteland punks you've ever seen.

Max Scherzer returned to Nats Park this week for what could be the final time in his career – and we break it down, hear from Mad Max, and wonder if the Nats should retire his number in this week's Best of Nationals! Plus, an interview with new Nats LHP Connelly Early, and a question about the surging Nats being able to steer the DC sports conversation away from the Commanders this summer and fall!

On July 30, 2026 Wizards of the Coast announced the return of the Dark Sun setting. If you are not familiar with this setting, think of it as Mad Max meets Dungeons and Dragons, but without the guns and cars. This is an impromptu episode where I discuss my thoughts on the return of this setting.
En esta nueva entrega de cine de verano, Nerea Pérez de las Heras, parte de la película 'Mad Max' para mirar al mundo. Nerea cuenta como una película de ciencia ficción critica la explotación de los recursos naturales y de los cuerpos humanos. La cinta tiene una lectura feminista, ya que pone en el centro a mujeres que luchan por su libertad frente a un sistema opresivo. También reflexiona sobre la representación de la discapacidad en el cine y cómo los cuerpos diferentes pueden mostrarse con naturalidad.
Arrancamos el programa del jueves con el fotoperiodista Antonio Sempere desde Ceuta, que ha relatado la llegada masiva de personas migrantes desde Marruecos que ha marcado la actualidad este jueves y ha descrito la labor de rescate y ayuda humanitaria de los voluntarios, de la mano de una fotografía que ha recorrido hoy todos los medios de un bebé envuelto en un cleco de la Cruz Roja.Laura Piñero recorre con Manuel Burque las calles de Madrid en la sección de #ElCaminante del Faro de Verano.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 3-2 win vs. the Nationals to open the series in Washington! They take your calls and texts, and discuss the return of Max Scherzer against his former team (on his birthday no less) - did they see enough from Mad Max to roll him out against the Cardinals on the weekend? They get into the bullpen going Rogers-Hoffman-Varland - is this how it was always supposed to look, and can it stay this way moving forward? Plus, they continue the trade deadline discussions with less than a week to go.
