It's Die Hard on a runaway train! With the last stop now in sight, it's full steam ahead on the show this week as the boys attempt “to run this bitch down” (in the nicest possible way of course) by discussing Tony Scott's swaggering swansong UNSTOPPABLE (2010) in the context of disaster movies, Die Hard, and the action genre in general! When a massive freight train designated 777 accidentally escapes a Pennsylvania railyard under its own power, the authorities scramble to find a solution as the driverless locomotive increases its speed. This highly dangerous situation is yet further complicated when they become aware of 777's volatile chemical cargo, that effectively turns the runaway train into “a missile the size of the Chrysler building”…a missile that's now heading into inexorably into a heavily populated area. Fate and circumstances mean that two unlikely heroes – veteran train driver Frank Barnes (Denzel Washington) and rookie conductor Will Colson (Chris Pine) – find themselves on a collision course with the errant vehicle – and with the help of canny yardmaster Connie Hooper (Rosario Dawson), they hatch an audacious plan to try and stop this metallic monster from causing mass destruction in the area they all call home. In this thoughtful and emotive conversation, Phil and Liam discuss the film's importance both as the last film of an iconic artist, and as arguably the last pure action movie ever made…before the entire genre changed forever. They muse on its standing as one of the greatest working class pictures of all time, discuss the potential for it being the best disaster movie ever committed to celluloid, and elaborate further on the idea of the “competency porn” that's writ large throughout Tony Scott's filmography. As always there's detailed analysis of UNSTOPPABLE's bountiful “Die Hard DNA”, before the lads trade their yellow vests for tuxedos to hand out the “Die Hard Oscars”, and finally the guys bring this beast to a halt with the ever-popular “Double Jeopardy” trivia quiz! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l__gGyq21U8At the time of release, UNSTOPPABLE is streaming on Fubo, Starz, and Philo and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms!

Frank is joined by Scott for a packed episode that jumps from Hollywood headlines to deep-dive reviews. The conversation opens with a fun Question of the Week about how the Oscars could feel more relevant, then shifts into the latest talk around a possible Firefly animated revival, The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, and Amazon putting key Prime Video features behind a higher-priced tier. In the back half, Frank and Scott get into full review mode with One Piece Season 2 and World of Warcraft: Midnight, comparing what works, what frustrates them, and why both projects still have them invested. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and welcoming Scott back to the show 00:15 Question of the Week: what new Oscars category would make the awards more relevant? 03:02 Nathan Fillion says a Firefly animated series is in development 07:35 The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum and Kate Winslet joining the cast 11:44 Amazon Prime Video puts 4K and premium features behind a pricier ad-free tier 15:23 One Piece Season 2 review and why the live-action series keeps winning them over 31:15 Quick sponsor mention for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 home release 31:54 World of Warcraft: Midnight review, zone impressions, nostalgia, and housing talk 40:18 Geek Freaks Network updates and what else is happening across the shows 41:23 Weekly recommendations, including One Piece, Star Trek, and Invincible 42:26 Outro Episode Summary This week's episode balances fun fandom talk with real critique. Frank and Scott debate whether the Oscars need categories tied more closely to online culture and cultural impact, then get into the surprising news that Firefly may be returning in animated form. From there, they discuss how much excitement there really is for a new Lord of the Rings film centered on Gollum, especially with Kate Winslet now attached. The Prime Video pricing conversation turns into a bigger discussion about streaming fatigue and what audiences are willing to pay for. The second half is driven by reviews. Frank and Scott are both enthusiastic about One Piece Season 2, praising how the live-action adaptation embraces the weirdness, heart, and adventure of the anime while still feeling accessible. They also break down World of Warcraft: Midnight, highlighting the strength of Silvermoon, the unevenness of certain zones, and Blizzard's growing sense of confidence even when every choice does not fully land. Key Takeaways Frank thinks the Oscars could use a category centered on cultural impact, especially for blockbusters and genre films. Scott likes the idea of bringing in younger audiences through categories tied to online filmmaking and long-form digital content. A Firefly animated revival feels like a compromise, but maybe the right one given the cast's age and the current strength of adult animation. Frank is surprised that The Hunt for Gollum is not generating more conversation, especially for a new Lord of the Rings movie. Prime Video's new pricing structure feels like another example of streaming services pushing viewers too far. One Piece Season 2 won both hosts over by fully committing to the tone, style, and emotional logic of the anime. Scott gives One Piece Season 2 a 10/10, while Frank lands at a 9/10 because the fun outweighs nearly every complaint. World of Warcraft: Midnight earns a 7/10 from both hosts, with strong atmosphere and story beats but uneven feature execution. Silvermoon is one of the biggest highlights of Midnight, especially for longtime Horde players. Housing in Midnight got plenty of attention before launch, but neither host seems deeply invested in it yet. Memorable Quotes "I would go with a category that's like cultural impact." "When they said they were making a live action One Piece, I was like, there's no way this works." "It's just pure escapism." "When you see it, you'll see it." "You have to just believe in magic a little bit." "They took what Silvermoon was supposed to be and finally made it."

Alan dives into the rejuvenating power of a tech refresh in the dental operatory. After a brief detour discussing the bittersweet postseason fate of the Miami University Redhawks basketball (they made it!), the focus shifts to a trio of "new toys" that have transformed his clinical workflow. The centerpiece is the installation of the Zumax OMS 2050 microscope, which Alan credits with finally removing the ergonomic and software barriers to becoming a full-time microscope dentist. He breaks down the benefits of a compact head, improved wall-mounting strategies, and the game-changing internal 4K camera software that allows for instant patient education. The episode also covers the arrival of a sleek, Mac-integrated cart for the ELF scanner and a surprisingly impactful low-tech upgrade: more flexible slow-speed handpiece tubing from net 32. Ultimately, Alan reflects on how reducing friction in the daily workflow doesn't just improve clinical results—it makes showing up on a Tuesday morning something to look forward to.

The Trio declares this an AI-free episode and dives into Apple's latest hardware announcements. Kotaro, Steve, and Aaron break down the new MacBook Neo, its surprisingly capable A18 chip, aluminum build, colorful design, and its potential to expand the Mac market at just $600. Then Steve takes The Trio on a deep dive into his increasingly desperate search for the perfect external monitor, weighing the refreshed Studio Display, the new Studio Display XDR, BenQ's upcoming 5K Mac monitor, Dell's 4K Thunderbolt hub display, and BenQ's programmer-focused 3:2 aspect ratio monitors. What follows is a lively debate over 120Hz refresh rates, macOS 4K scaling quirks, nano-texture vs. glossy glass, multi-monitor setups, MacBook Pro pricing strategies, and whether Kotaro and Aaron can convince Steve to just pick one already.## Chapters00:00 Introductions01:48 MacBook Neo18:31 The Studio Display (2026)22:17 The Studio Display XDR25:26 Understanding 120 Hertz Displays27:49 Evaluating Cost vs. Performance in Monitors29:24 Comparing Alternatives to the Studio Display31:27 The BenQ Monitor: A Viable Contender33:06 Dell 4K and macOS Scaling36:43 BenQ Programmer Series Monitors42:28 Multiple Monitors vs. One High-End Display43:55 Navigating MacBook Pro Configurations45:34 Understanding RAM and Pricing Strategies48:11 Choosing the Right Display for Your Needs53:33 A Digression About Apple Care Prices55:53 A Monitor Intervention01:00:30 Wrap-Up01:00:58 One More Thing...01:02:24 Tag## Show Notes- Apple announces new hardware including the MacBook Neo, refreshed Studio Display, and the new Studio Display XDR- The MacBook Neo starts at $600 ($500 education), features an A18 chip, aluminum unibody, colorful options, and is capable enough for 4K video editing in Final Cut- Touch ID is a $100 add-on: The Trio agree it's worth the upgrade- The refreshed Studio Display gains Thunderbolt 5 and daisy-chaining support but remains 60Hz- The Studio Display XDR starts at $3,299 with mini-LED backlighting, 120Hz ProMotion, and the stand included- Steve's monitor search considers: Studio Display ($1,500 edu), Studio Display XDR ($3,200 edu), BenQ 5K Mac monitor (~$1,000), Dell 4K Thunderbolt hub (~$800), and BenQ RD280UG programmer monitor (~$700)- Discussion of macOS 4K scaling issues: macOS renders at 5K and downsamples to 4K, which can cause artifacts- The BenQ programmer monitor features a 3:2 aspect ratio (28"), 120Hz, dark/light mode presets, and a halo backlight, but weaker color reproduction- Nano-texture vs. glossy glass: nano-texture reduces glare but can appear slightly fuzzy; standard glass is easier to clean- Apple's MacBook Pro pricing now ties higher RAM options to higher chip tiers, effectively bundling price increases- AppleCare One costs more per additional device ($6/mo) than standalone AppleCare Plus ($5/mo): a pricing quirk Steve finds baffling- BentoFit, The Trio's health kit dashboard app, gets a plug: download it at bentofit.app- Kotaro asks if this is the "Steve intervention podcast" as the monitor debate spirals.

The group dives into the latest Apple news and beta updates including visionOS 26.4 beta 4, iOS 26.4, and other platform updates. They also spend significant time discussing the newly released MacBook Neo, Apple's surprise entry-level Mac that is already shaking up the PC and Chromebook market. The panel explores how the MacBook Neo performs in real-world scenarios, including video encoding tests and education-focused use cases. Early impressions suggest Apple may have dramatically changed the budget laptop landscape. The discussion also touches on how competitors like ASUS are already reacting to the Neo's disruptive price point and performance. Vision Pro remains part of the conversation as the group discusses new features in the latest visionOS beta and a curious real-world incident where a passenger was asked to remove their Vision Pro during a flight. The panel debates airline rules, passenger etiquette, and how spatial computing devices fit into public environments. One of the biggest topics this week is Apple's newly released MacBook Neo, and both Marty Jencius and Eric Bolden share their early hands-on impressions. Marty puts the machine through a real-world test by converting a 4K video project to 1080p in Final Cut Pro, revealing performance that surprised even seasoned Mac users. Eric also shares his experience using the Neo alongside Apple Vision Pro in a coffee shop workflow, highlighting how the device works well as a lightweight entry point into the Mac ecosystem. Dave also shares his first impressions of the new iPhone 17e, which he recently picked up through a carrier upgrade. He talks about the improvements over the previous model, including the return of MagSafe, a better display, and increased base storage. While positioned as Apple's entry-level iPhone, Dave explains why it may be an excellent option for many users looking for a capable iPhone without stepping up to the higher-priced Pro models. Other topics include Apple continuing security updates for older devices, new Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball announcements, and reflections on Apple's upcoming 50th anniversary celebration. The group also shares personal stories about the Macs that meant the most to them over the years.

They analyzed the painting's composition, colors, and techniques, considering whether it was truly a self-portrait or perhaps a character study. Don Bertram shared insights as an artist and collector, while José and Ryan explored themes of transformation and creativity. They also briefly discussed the 2022 Hellraiser movie release and its special features. The conversation concluded with plans to vote on future art pieces to analyze. Summary Clive Barker Self-Portrait Discussion The group discussed a self-portrait painting by Clive Barker from 2007, which was selected through a listener vote. José provided context about the painting, including its size (60x48 inches), medium (oil on canvas), and exhibition history at the Bert Green Gallery. The painting sold for $8,000 and was described as a beautiful character portrait. The discussion concluded with José inviting the participants to share their analysis of the portrait's style and emotional impact, though specific reactions were not captured in the transcript. Clive Barker Self-Portrait Discussion Don and Ryan discussed a large self-portrait by Clive Barker, noting its similarities to his "Abarat" style and comparing it to earlier works. Don expressed a preference for Barker's more cerebral images over this illustrative piece, suggesting the large size (4 by 5 feet) might be intended to command attention rather than being a traditional self-portrait. José proposed that the size creates a sense of confrontation and demands engagement, while Don speculated that the piece might originally have been intended for a different character in the Abarat series before being repurposed as a self-portrait. Clive Barker Painting Analysis Discussion The group discussed a painting that appears to depict Clive Barker, with José arguing it's a self-portrait while Don suggested it might be a portrait of another character. José analyzed the artistic elements, describing the symmetrical composition and expressionistic style with bold brushstrokes and flames as an aura rather than a setting. The discussion included comparisons to other Barker works and references to specific book editions, with Don suggesting the painting might be used as a dust jacket or limited edition book cover. Clive Barker Painting Interpretation Discussion The group discussed a painting of Clive Barker, interpreting the fire surrounding him as representing transformation, danger, or creative intensity. José and Ryan connected this to Barker's recurring theme of characters being forged or transformed through proximity to powerful or high-stakes events, while remaining intact. They noted the painting's medium of oils, which allows for layers and revisions similar to how people build their self-identity, and expressed interest in seeing a higher quality image of the painting. Gallery Exhibition Art Discussion The group discussed a painting that was part of a gallery exhibition called "New Paintings and Works on Paper" in 2007. They clarified that the $8,000 price listed on Phil and Sarah's website represents the original asking price rather than a confirmed sale price. José shared his screen to show other paintings from the same exhibition, including "She Waits" and "Voices of the Damned," which was possibly related to Barbie Wilde's book. The discussion also touched on other works by Aberet, including some black and white pieces and drawings. Clive Barker Self-Portrait Analysis The group discussed a self-portrait painting by Clive Barker, examining its artistic techniques and comparing it to other Barker self-portraits. They analyzed specific elements like the use of color, eye details, and the symbolic representation of a monster inside the artist's head. The conversation concluded with a brief discussion about the Hellraiser 2022 Blu-ray release, including its special features and the inclusion of one of Barker's paintings in the film, though it was covered with plastic and barely visible.

UGREEN, a leading global consumer electronics brand, announced on March 6 that pre-orders have opened for its latest Maxidok line of docks, an all-new collection of Thunderbolt 5 docking stations for the European market. As a leading docking station brand on Amazon Europe, UGREEN brings next-generation desktop connectivity to the lineup, with higher bandwidth, lower latency, and greater expansion capabilities, providing a significant boost in performance and workflow flexibility. As laptops become thinner and lighter, the trade-off is fewer available ports. At the same time, demand for faster data transfers, multi-display outputs, and external storage continues to rise. The Maxidok line, the latest flagship in UGREEN's Revodok series, is built to resolve these challenges with Thunderbolt 5 technology. It eliminates port and bandwidth bottlenecks that traditional docks struggle with for 4K/8K and multi?device workflows, fully utilising the high bandwidth and advanced display capabilities of Thunderbolt 5. The result is a powerful tool built to accelerate creative workflows and truly help users "Max Out Your Productivity." The Maxidok line offers three new models, all certified for Thunderbolt 5, to meet different needs. Certification ensures strong compatibility with MacBooks in terms of connection stability, transfer speed, and display quality. Positioned as a flagship dock for peak productivity, the UGREEN Maxidok 17-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Dock integrates 17 ports covering data, video, networking, storage, and charging. It supports bandwidth up to 120Gbps and includes built-in M.2 SSD expansion that enables users to open and edit large 4K assets directly without relying on slower external workflows. The dock delivers up to 240W total power for charging laptops and phones together, while also powering external displays. It also enables single 8K@60Hz or dual 6K@60Hz outputs on macOS and supports three independent displays on Windows systems. The 10-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 desktop hub offers a streamlined and powerful alternative that features dual Thunderbolt 5 ports, 140W total power with up to 100W charging for laptops, Gigabit Ethernet, and multi-display capabilities. Designed to eliminate the need for additional adapters, it consolidates high-use ports into a single, cost-efficient solution. UGREEN will also introduce a dedicated 10-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Mac mini dock, built to sit flush with the Mac mini M4 chassis while maintaining airflow integrity. It supports native dual extended displays on macOS and delivers up to a single 8K@60Hz or dual 6K@60Hz outputs without requiring third-party display drivers. The Mac mini model also includes built-in M.2 SSD storage expansion, high-speed USB-A ports, SD/microSD 4.0 card readers, and a hybrid cooling system combining an aluminium heatsink with intelligent fan control. By integrating high-speed bandwidth, multi-display performance, stable power delivery, and engineering-grade thermal management, UGREEN is positioning its new Thunderbolt 5 docking station lineup as a productivity upgrade. Designed for workflow?intensive scenarios, the lineup excels in demanding environments such as high?resolution video editing, real?time 3D rendering, multi?app creative production, immersive gaming setups, and multi?screen productivity workstations. Priced at €459.99/£419.99 and €299.99/£249.99 respectively, the flagship 17-in-1 and standard 10-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 docks will be available for pre-order through UGREEN's official website, with sales beginning March 24 on Amazon and direct channels. The Mac mini model is scheduled for release in late April or early May.

Apple has launched a more affordable laptop and phone If you spend a lot of your day on email, browsing the web, or in docs and spreadsheets, this is the machine for you. Designed for the 'everyday' type activities, the Macbook Neo is competing with lower-end Chromebooks and Windows PCs. It does come in one the high side of that market but has a premium feel with its all-aluminium design. This is the first time Apple has used one of its phone chips in a MacBook. It is able to connect to an external display, has two USB-C ports, and a headphone jack. There are two models – one with TouchID and one without. The only drawback is that it's missing a backlit keyboard. It comes in silver, black, and two fun colours and starts at $NZ1,149. They also launched the iPhone 17e Slightly smaller than the iPhone 17, it is missing the wide-angle lens, the 'dynamic island', and 'center stage' feature which keeps you in frame on video calls. But it does have industry leading features like the satellite SOS mode, MagSafe, and 4K video. It starts at $NZ1,199 – $500 less than the 17, $1,150 less than the 17 Pro. Anthropic has been designated a Supply Chain Risk As we talked about last week, the beef with the DOD/W has turned into the designation. But it's narrower than the department was alluding to last week – it's only preventing Anthropic from working with companies specifically in their work with the Pentagon, rather than a blanket ban across all departments. Anthropic is taking this to court. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"What time is it?" It's time to talk Oscars, but more specifically, Kerry and Collin are focusing on one of the front-runners to win the night, Paul Thomas Anderson's timely and sensational "One Battle After Another," a movie that somehow predicted our world today, with often comedic and exciting results. What does it have to do with Christmas? Well, it's highly recommended that you see the film before listening to the episode, because it certainly can't be explained in a single-paragraph summary for a podcast episode. How did Anderson get this film through the studio system? Just how powerful is the Christmas Adventurer's Club? What are its chances of winning Best Picture? All these questions, plus some general Oscar talk and some new blu-rays forth adding to your collection.  Go to MovieZyng to start or continue your DVD/blu-ray/4K collection.   Visit collinsouter.com RogerEbert.com Follow Collin and Kerry on Letterboxd.

It's DIE HARD on the New York subway! This week we welcome back special guest Jason Bailey (who completes his hat trick of appearances) to discuss THE TAKING OF PELHAM123 (2009)!When a ruthless thief who calls himself Ryder (John Travolta) takes over a New York city subway train and demands a $10 million ransom for the hostages, disgraced MTA official Walter Garber (Denzel Washington) finds himself in the middle of the crisis. Garber must now somehow attempt to negotiate his way through this high stakes situation, which soon becomes even more perilous and political when a suspicious NYPD hostage negotiator (John Turturro) and the slippery Mayor of New York (James Gandolfini) both get personally involved. As the body count rises and tensions increase, Garber finds himself drawn into a strange, almost symbiotic relationship with the unhinged hijacker…and ultimately has to go into the lion's den to confront him personally. While the bulk of this episode is focused on the 2009 Tony Scott remake, inevitably the guys talk extensively about the 1974 original (and even the 1998 TV movie version). Things are starting to come full circle now, as a seventies film that influenced the original 1988 Die Hard is then remade for a post 9/11 landscape…with new Die Hard DNA inevitably added to the mix. The chaps talk about the story's themes (particularly the astute and incisive examination of big city politics), the inherent challenges of remakes, and the excellent, layered acting performances. As always the guys hand out ‘Die Hard Oscars' and wrap things up with a challenging edition of the ‘Double Jeopardy' trivia quiz.

This week on Two Shot Tuesday, we revisit 1408 (2007) — the Stephen King adaptation that somehow slipped past a lot of people, despite delivering one of the most intense single-location psychological thrillers of the 2000s.Starring John Cusack in a near one-man performance and Samuel L. Jackson in peak cool-and-cryptic form, the film traps its lead inside a haunted hotel room that doesn't rely on ghosts so much as pure psychological warfare.We break down:How this short story adaptation punches above its weightThe differences between the theatrical and director's cutsAnd how the 4K restoration completely elevates the experiencePlus, we talk Seinfeld in 4K (and why we've been watching it wrong), and somehow end up debating whether we'd survive a trip to the moon.Stephen King. One room. No escape.

This playlist is 63% vinyl friendly. Very poor. The Vertere DG-1 Dynamic Groove. One commentator queried whether ‘the design wandered in the direction of form over function‘, but this, the company’s entry level version, was voted in What Hi-Fi‘s updated 2025 ‘20 very best turntables of (the magazine’s) lifetime‘… but it had detractors elsewhere. My first thought was ‘sandwich’ and lo and behold the review mentions the plinth’s ‘three layers of acrylic reinforced with a steel chassis to give a rigid yet well-damped structure‘ with that middle layer, from a distance, reminding me of some marbled cheese. Near £2k for one standard version spotted on eBay and £3550 for a DG-1S updated model, with a bullet pointed spec to match. When you get up to these prices (and way, way beyond) manufacturers are duty bound to work overtime to justify their prices. NB: Apologies. A bit of a glitch in recording my parts for this show but they just about do the job. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. Lyric of Playlist 149 On another day and in another frame of mind it could have gone to Baby Rose but much aided by a gorgeous key change backdrop, the gold star sticker goes to Banderas! It’s hard to tell though if their ‘There is no rehearsal. No second chance. No false start. No better circumstances… ‘ words of wisdom would change much with the type of peeps in their video. 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – Doubts Even Here (Instrumental) (Cargo Demo) (2019 Remaster) – Movement, Definitive Edition Boxset – Warner Music – 2023 Doubts Even Hear? I should coco, and if you want ‘tentative’ in your music then this has it in shed loads. My guess is this maybe wasn’t Hooky’s first stab at the track in the band’s rehearsal room but you can nearly hear him finding his way into and over the ARP Quadra’s strings. 05.15 COCTEAU TWINS – Road River and Rail (Live) – Stream only – 2026 Live in 1991 but only very recently uploaded to the net, a mixing desk recording from The Warfield, in San Francisco and a rare treat to hear Liz this clear in a gig setting. At your leisure, search out the rest of the gig. There’s no visual from the above show, so here’s a barely rescued – but previously unseen/unpublished – photo of mine. Liz and Simon soundchecking at Newcastle’s Tiffany’s, 19.4.84. Photo credit / copyright: Dec Hickey 08.37 JOHN CALE – Thoughtless Kind (M:FANS) – M:FANS, 2LP – Double Six – 2016 A pedestrian, sledgehammer beat and a more forceful take on the lyrics than found in the ex-Velvet Underground man’s original. To my ears, they’re better suited here. 13.59 EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER – Take A Pebble * – Emerson, Lake & Palmer, LP – Island – 1970 I bought this album maybe four or five years after release and without doubt after having heard maybe just one of the three tracks on it I had taken to. I wouldn’t have been listening to any radio that might have played this album, so I’m guessing I borrowed it from a mate – very likely Phil Harris or Tom Locke (RIP). Greg Lake’s vocals were the thing for me back then and on my National Panasonic SG-1070L I’d have skipped Keith Emerson’s often lengthy rock-orchestral leaning keyboard workouts from all three… and likewise it’s a massive edit on the show for Take A Pebble. 17.33 BABY ROSE – Stop The Bleeding – Through And Through, LP – Secretly Canadian – 2023 If I thought the vibrato in Baby Rose’s vocal on the last 41 Rooms’ show entry (‘Go’) reminded me of Anonhi/Antony and the Johnsons then this does so with knobs on… as it maybe sounds even more of a song and arrangement the latter could have penned. 21.17 A RACE OF ANGELS – Golden – Broadcast No. 1, CD only – Luv Classics – 2005 It’s not often a CD gets a visual look in on 41 Rooms but the majority of Broadcast No. 1’s tracks have been or are on course for inclusion… and there was no vinyl. A 21st century left field folk soul beaut. Saluting Yeofi Andoh once again. 23.56 KRAFTWERK – Boing Boom Tschak * – Electric Cafe, LP – Kling Klang / EMI – 1986 The German maestros with some playful mid ’80s electro. Who else could it be? 27.01 BESIDE (with BERNARD FOWLER) – Odeon (Dance Mix) – 12″ – Celluloid – 1984 In 1984 the only place I’d have heard this was on John Peel’s radio shows – and he was partial to some electro. With the other side playlisted on 41 Rooms years ago, that would make this Afrika Bambaataa-produced 12″ a bargain to me these days, at less than the price of a pint on Discogs. Back in 1984, ordering it on import from Bedford’s HMV (as I did) its £5.29 price tag would seemingly have between five and ten pints plus worth! 32.37 MIDNIGHT STAR – Midas Touch (Vocal Extended Remix) – 12″ – Solar – 1986 With Electro roots, some breezy mid ’80s glitzy dance which has aged far better than – ‘Look away now’ (or don’t look at all) – the clothes and hair in the video. 38.42 ROZALLA – Born To Luv Ya – 12″ – Pulse-8 – 1990 At some point, when I do get to wade through the Record Mirror‘s I have from the the late ’80s/early ’90s I’d put a quiet fiver on the late James Hamilton having used ‘bubbling’ in a review of this particular mix of the tune. Par for the course lyrics but given some decent beats Rozalla has a voice that more than matches. 43.00 THOMAS LEER – Forgive and Forget – 1982, CD only – Klanggalerie – 2015 When I first happened on the 1982 CD recordings I thought Leer had re-found his youthful energy in the ‘now’. It’s in the title, Dec… so, a ‘series of tracks for unreleased album circa 1982‘ states the man himself. That would put them around the time of his Letter From America and Contradictions EPs but way before the ‘pop’ album, The Scale Of Ten. Forgive and Forget is though definitely a dry run for that album’s belter, Control Yourself. 47.23 MINT ROYALE – I Don’t Care – See You In The Morning, CD only – Faith & Hope Records Limited – 2005 Aagghh, it’s another CD… but needs must, as no vinyl surfaced and by this point Neil Claxton was flying solo as Mint Royale. 51.48 OSCAR FARRELL (feat SAMPHA) – Dream Therapy (George FitzGerald remix) – Download only – ? – 2026 The So Far South EP original rightly has many admirers but I’m more with this moodier take. Screenshot 55.22 NOSTALGIX – Mess With Me – Download only – Confession – 2019 Out of Vancouver, British Columbia, she seems through the years to have occasionally just digitally floated singular tracks out there. 58.32 SUICIDE – Ghost Rider – Self-titled, LP – Red Star Records – 1977 There’d be a bunch of my early ’80s mates who’d have gone for the album but it’s only this track that grabbed me. 01.01.01 CABARET VOLTAIRE – Nag Nag Nag (Live 2025 Single Edit) – Download only (for now) – Mute – 2026 ‘Updating’ and then capturing – just ‘right’ – this classic track’s first live outing in forty five or so years could have gone wrong but all involved nailed it, and seeing as I caught four of the Cabs’ six gigs last year there’s a good chance I was in on this actual recording. In fact, given the advances in sound technology Nag is likely sounding better in the room than it would have done live back in 1979-82… something I never witnessed. 01.05.10 THE SOUND – Heartland (Mike Read session, 1980) – The BBC Recordings – 2CD only – Renascent – 2004 If Adrian Borland and crew were pushing for a radio session in their early throws (who wasn’t) I’d have thought John Peel would have got in there first. The band did subsequently do a Peel session but here Mike Read edged it and the band were firing. 01.08.19 JOY DIVISION – Warsaw – An Ideal For Living, 7″ EP – Enigma – 1978 I never owned this original 7″ but somewhere around 1980-81 and through the back pages of the inkie press I bought the subsequent 12″ from an ‘MJ’ in Crewe who reckoned in an enclosed note he’d leant Steve Morris £60 to pay for the sleeves. When I sold the single years later I thought I’d kept the note… but if I did, it then went AWOL. 01.10.40 TURNSTILE – Dreaming – Never Enough, LP – Roadrunner – 2025 They’ve eased up here on their early hardcore leanings which might go some way to why this tune gets a thumbs up from me and those who take occasionally take a punt on an album because of the sleeve could still be in for a shock. 01.13.00 TV21 – Ideal Way Of Life – A Thin Red Line, LP – Deram – 1981 Other tracks on the album have already graced 41 Rooms as indeed they did back in Winkles in 1981-82. 01.15.27 THE TEARDROP EXPLODES – Went Crazy – Kilimanjaro, LP – Mercury – 1980 Julian in 1980. Sounding ‘quirky pop’ in 2026? 01.18.03 NATURAL SCIENTIST – See Through You – 7″ – Dental Records – 1982 Even though I bought their Terminal Velocity debut 12″ at the time, this their follow up somehow by-passed me for four decades 01.22.07 IRMA THOMAS – My Heart’s In Memphis – My Heart’s In Memphis – The Songs Of Dan Penn, CD only – Rounder Records – 2000 Criminally, only seven thousand plus peeps have ever viewed the fan video online of Irma on an outside stage, live in New Orleans from 2003 and I nearly went with its muffled sound here, as the more she gets in to the song the more she really lives it. 01.25.53 STEVIE WONDER – (I) Don’t Know Why (I Love You) – 7″ – Tamla Motown – 1968-9 For the UK release Motown couldn’t quite make up there mind on the title – but this stark outpouring and arrangement is still a killer, even though it was maybe trumped for radio play by the lusher, romantic appeal of the b-side, My Cherie Amour. 01.28.25 MT JONES – I Don’t Understand – Joy, LP – ? – 2026 New(ish) blue-eyed retro soul with as much effort on the visual. A fab single but I’ve got a feeling an album of his accentuated vocal might be too much for me. We’ll see. 01.31.49 WILLIE HUTCH – Hurt So Bad – Season For Love, LP – RCA – 1970 Before his switch to maybe his more spiritual Brother’s Gonna Work It Out home of Motown. 01.34.39 BANDERAS – This Is Your Life (PanoΣigma Edit) – Stream only – ? – 2019 Just the one album, squarely aimed at the mainstream, and some cerebral tunes from these two shaven-headed girls. I’m not sure how much the decent lyrics and sumptuous key change helped but this was their biggest UK hit. Even in the sometimes throwaway nature of ‘pop’ charts, quality will out. 01.39.36 DIANA BROWN & BARRIE K SHARPE – Eating Me Alive * – 12″ – FFRR – 1992 ‘Weaving together many different dance music sounds of the late sixties/early seventies, including such as vintage Jackson 5 and Norman Whitfield era Temptations, Timmy Thomas beats and Chicago Transit Authority guitar chords (“I’m a man, yes I am, and I love you so”), this brilliant intensely driving jiggly chugger has been promoed as a twinpack with 0-104.7-0bpm Undisputed Mix Part 1 & Part II, 0-104.7bpm Original Groundbeat, 0-105.25-0bpm Funky Funky Sugar Heavy Groundbeat Mix, 0-105.4bpm One Trip Too Many Mix, more recently influenced grooving 115.8-0bpm Groundbeat House Ensemble/Instrumental, hi-hat hustled 118.7bpm Undercover Dub Mix 1 and 118.6bpm Undercover Dub Mix 2, Dianamite!‘ – James Hamilton, Record Mirror (Music Week), 20.6.92 Any time I re-edit etc I really should remember the source of the original… and there’s a heavy 41 Rooms re-edit going on here. Whatever. James Hamilton’s ‘vintage Jackson 5’ reference is spot on and the bridges and chorus are so strong they make the verses sound absolutely tepid. Weird. 01.45.08 RHYTHIM IS RHYTHIM – Strings Of Life (‘Original Piano Mix’) – 12″ – Transmat – 1987 ‘So enduringly popular and still steadily selling that it could follow A Guy Called Gerald up the chart, Derrick ‘Mayday’ May’s synthetic strings stabbed and sawed techno pioneeringly jerky instrumental leaper is now out here in its frantic acidic 130/129 1/5-130-0bpm Exclusive Remix, more scrubbingly hustling organ accented 128 1/5-127 4/5-128-128 1/5bpm Flam-boy-ant Mix, and piano emphasising jerkier 122 1/5-122-121 2/5-121 1/5bpm Piano Mix, flipped by the washing machine ‘sizzled’ 129-129 1/3bpm ‘Kaos’ plus the ‘Magic Juan’ Atkins created jiggly wriggling Model 500 ‘Off To Battle’ in its 125 2/3-126 1/5bpm 2emix and 126 1/5-126 2/3bpm Original Version‘. – James Hamilton, Jocks, 3.89 ‘Based on a piano sequence by May’s friend Michael James. He dropped in for a visit at May’s house and sat down to play a piano ballad he had been working on called, “Lightning Strikes Twice”. This piece went into May’s sequencer and was kept there until May decided to listen to it all the way through. He found some portions which interested him, and he started to work with it. The song was originally at 80 BPM before May increased the tempo, chopped it up into loops, and added percussion and string samples’. Wikipedia The history of this stark track is interesting. I called this ‘near punk like, house / techno’ on the show, what with its crude/rough arrangement feeling like it nearly takes four minutes to settle… just in time for it to sound like it’s breaking down on the outro! And it’s become a classic! Enough to warrant a bunch of remixes and the mighty ‘live with orchestra’ version that follows. 01.52.18 RHYTHIM IS RHYTHIM – Strings Of Life (Live, Weather Festival, Paris, France) – Stream only – 2015 Derrick May, with Francesco Tristano (ex-Aufgang) loving it big time on extra keyboards, with the weight of the full Philharmonic Orchestra Lamoureux, under the direction of Dzijan Emin… and all beautifully captured by ‘producer, Amos Rozenberg and Paramax Films in 4K with 9 Cinema cameras by Samuel Petit for Arte TV‘… it says somewhere. Strings Of Life, indeed. Catch the video in the usual places. Show 150 will upload April 5. Dec x The post Post Punk Plus Podcast Playlist 149 – Original upload 1.3.26 appeared first on 41Rooms.

They also discuss Xenoblade Chronicles X Nintendo Switch 2 Edition getting a big 60fps and 4K visuals, while new footage of No Rest for the Wicked running on the console shows up from Moon Studios. To wrap things up, they react to Sonic the Hedgehog 4 casting Kristen Bell as Amy Rose and the reveal of a gorgeous new The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Link statue.This and more on Nintendo Pow Block.

Most Men Aren't Ready For Real Violence and Here's Why. The World Needs Dangerous Men (Not Soft Ones)   Most Men Aren't Ready For Real Violence (Here's Why) Strength without skill is just theater. In Episode 2 of The Dangerous Man, we tackle a hard truth: muscles don't make you dangerous—precision does. Some men bark. Others fold. Both are untrained, and both are a liability. But a man who's trained? He's calm under pressure. Dangerous in all the right ways. In this episode, I'll give you the exact roadmap to start combat training—from mindset to methods—and show you how fighting builds the self-control, humility, and spiritual strength every man needs. Because training isn't about ego. It's about responsibility.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1277: The Supreme Court narrows emergency tariffs—but most auto duties remain, reshaping pricing and payments. Lamborghini shelves its EV plans in favor of hybrids. And Gen Z is ditching smartphones for iPods, chasing simpler tech in a distracted world.In our ASOTU daily email this morning, the team broke down the recent tariff news and what they mean for dealers. While one layer of trade pressure is gone after the Supreme Court's ruling, most auto-related tariffs affecting dealers and buyers remain in place.The ruling targeted emergency tariffs under IEEPA, not those imposed under Sections 232 and 301—where most auto exposure still sits.Steel and aluminum levies remain active, keeping pressure on parts, repair costs, and supplier pricing.VIN-level data shows uneven price impact: Canada-built vehicles up nearly $4K, Japan-built up ~$3.3K, Germany-built ~$2.8K, and Mexico-built over $1.5K.Pricing is largely baked into 2026 MSRPs, so expect stabilization—not rollbacks. Incentives and allocation will move before stickers do.Bottom line for dealers: focus on payment certainty, availability, and clear next steps—not promises of price drops.Lamborghini is officially backing away from its all-electric ambitions. CEO Stephan Winkelmann says the brand's customers just aren't ready—and going all-in on EVs risks becoming an “expensive hobby.”The Lanzador EV, first shown in 2023, has been quietly canceled after internal debate stretching into late 2025. Instead, by 2030, every Lamborghini will be a plug-in hybrid.Winkelmann says the “acceptance curve” for EVs among Lambo buyers is flattening and “close to zero.”Gen Z is rediscovering the iPod—and not just for the nostalgia. With schools banning connected devices and digital burnout on the rise, Apple's discontinued music player is becoming a low-tech escape hatch from the algorithm-driven chaos of smartphones.Google Trends shows 2025 searches for iPod Classic and Nano up 25% and 20% year-over-year.Refurbished iPod sales have climbed an average of 15.6% annually since 2022, according to Back Market.Students are using iPods as a workaround in phone-restricted schools—offline music without the distraction.The vibe shift? A simpler, distraction-free tech era that “felt more hopeful”—and a reminder that sometimes less tech is more freedom.Today's show is brought to you by ESi-Q.

'Night of the Juggler' is either one of the best 70's film titles or one of the worst. Honestly I enjoy it, for it's uniqueness and complete (well...near complete) relevence to the film's plot.  It's certainly memorable, if not directly speaking to the film's setting...which is mostly in the daytime of a VERY 1978 NYC. 'Night of the Juggler' had long been sort of like that Jerry Lewis Holocaust film; never-seen, long-rumored to be secretly great...elusive. But KinoLorber has finally rescued the film from obscurity with a new 4K transfer, available now on YouTube and other streaming platforms for purchase. It's well worth the trip. And it IS a trip, of the best, cinematic kind. NY Times Article on the Film's Re-Release & Backstory Link to buy the new DVD release with special bonus features.

On this episode of She's All Over the Place, host Katie Chonacas sits down with acclaimed filmmaker Cate Shortland, director and pioneering voice for women behind the camera, to discuss her landmark debut feature Somersault. Originally nominated for Un Certain Regard and the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Somersault follows teenage Heidi, who escapes home after a traumatic encounter and attempts to rebuild her identity in a frozen ski town. Through isolation, longing, and fragile connection, the film explores adolescence, intimacy, and the human need for belonging. We go far beyond filmmaking technique. This conversation becomes an honest exploration of creative courage, emotional exposure, and artistic voice, especially for female storytellers navigating an industry that often discourages vulnerability. Cate shares: • How Somersault was conceived and made • Working with early-career actors Abbie Cornish and Sam Worthington • Why vulnerability is a strength in storytelling • Emotional truth vs. performance in film • The responsibility of female filmmakers to tell authentic stories • Finding confidence as a woman director • Creative intuition, sensitivity, and psychological depth in cinema We also discuss the film's new 4K restoration and its continued cultural relevance, over 20 years after its Cannes premiere. More than a film discussion, this episode is a masterclass on owning your voice, telling your story, and making art that feels emotionally truthful. About the Film – Somersault Following a reckless encounter with her mother's boyfriend, teenage Heidi flees home and takes refuge in a motel in the winter town of Jindabyne. She finds work at a petrol station, befriends a coworker, and begins a complicated relationship with Joe, a young man dealing with his own emotional wounds. Together they confront isolation, desire, addiction, and the search for connection. Written & Directed by: Cate Shortland Cast: Abbie Cornish, Sam Worthington, Lynette Curran Genre: Drama Runtime: 106 minutes Restored in 4K from the original 35mm negative by Piccolo Films

Stadium lights. A turn of the head. A breath held before the snap. We sit with the founder of Shang Hi Media to unpack how self-taught skills and a deep love for community transform youth sports into stories families keep for life. What begins as a COVID-era creative outlet becomes a craft rooted in respect—reading plays before they form, catching the quiet moments people miss, and stitching them together with music that carries the weight of a season.We talk process without the fluff: shooting 4K at high frame rates, managing terabytes of footage, choosing songs that set emotion, and building edits that feel inevitable. He admits missing shots and shows how presence, anticipation, and luck all play a part. Access matters too; we cover earning sideline credentials, staying safe, and filming with empathy so no one becomes a punchline. You'll hear how he avoids gear FOMO, why he sticks with Final Cut Pro, and how today's autofocus and sensors let vision take the lead over specs.What makes this conversation special is the why. Social media is the distribution engine, but the mission is local: highlight Hawaii's athletes, give parents goosebumps, and help a recruit get seen. Confidence grows when a student hears “I saw your clip” in the hallway. Communities rally when a championship run is captured with dignity and heart. We dig into collaboration over competition, advice for new videographers, and the discipline required to find flow state without burning out your life outside the edit bay.If you care about storytelling, sports, or building something from the ground up, this one delivers practical insights and honest perspective. Listen, share it with a parent or athlete who needs a lift, and if it resonates, follow the show, leave a review, and tell us the moment you'd want on film.

A NOTE FROM OUR GUEST: "I wanted to make one correction that you can add to the podcast notes. I was saying General Early's Army at Nashville; I meant to say General John Bell Hood's Army was at Nashville. His army was defeated at Franklin and then Nashville. The losses from those two battles had lowered his army from 60,000 down to 8,000. Sorry, I got caught up in the conversation and said the wrong general's name. I just came back from a Mardi Gras event at church and it just hit me as I got back on my computer that I said Early instead of Hood."   IN THIS EPISODE-

Most brands think viral marketing takes months of planning and massive budgets. Nick Tran engineered it in 72 hours. In this segment from Marketing Trends, the former Global Head of Marketing at TikTok breaks down the exact reverse-engineered playbook that turned unknown creators like the Ocean Spray skateboarder into overnight viral sensations, and why the traditional 2-3 month campaign timeline is dead. From understanding why Nick tells marketing leaders to "kill your KPIs" and hire for intuition instead, to learning how he identified viral potential before it happened, this is a masterclass in speed-to-market and cultural relevance. If your team is still running 90-day campaign cycles while competitors are shipping in weeks, this framework will show you exactly what you're missing, and how to move faster without sacrificing quality. Chapters:00:00 - The Reverse-Engineered Playbook04:32 - Project Cheetah: 72 Hours to Viral09:15 - Moving Upmarket Without Losing Your Soul13:48 - Five Things Marketing Leaders Must Unlearn  This episode is brought to you by Lightricks.
