Cult members. Fanatics. Selfish. Evil. All words that have been used to describe climate activists in the mainstream media. Just Stop Oil have made many headlines since 2022, be it by stopping traffic or throwing powder on Stonehenge in their token orange shade. Last month, five members were sent to prison with the longest sentences ever given for peaceful protest in the UK. But what does the group actually want? If it weren't for the name, Just Stop Oil's aims would be largely absent from press reports, which focus on the public nuisance caused by the group rather than the climate change message behind it. Are the horror stories of blockaded ambulances all to be believed, or is the media misrepresenting the group? If so, why? Why do the public apparently hate them so much? And why hasn't this stopped them? We're joined by Just Stop Oil spokesperson Adrian Johnson and climate journalist Diyora Shadijanova. Plus, your round-up of the headlines through a Media Storm lens: exposés of NHS strike 'plots', the reasons for inaccuracies coming out of Gaza, an Islamophobic Daily Mail front page, and... dogs?  As a take home message, we also speak to Emma Webber, mother of Nottingham attacks victim Barnaby Webber, about victims' consent in true crime and her reaction to the riots that followed the Southport stabbings.

A fine Friday crossword by Adrian Johnson, his 5th NYTimes Crossword contribution.

We also had 21A, Bird whose largest species is called the Goliath. HERON; and 46A, Romanian philosopher Cioran, EMIL.

That's why our business worked, and cementing that was the trust that we had and we built over the years. And of course we ended up becoming very good friends - Adrian Johnson [25:34]On the way Germany handled business ventures after the wall came down: I think what has worked very well in Germany is that sort of the social democratic structure, so there was not this massive transfer - as many east germans feared - that the wealthy Germans would come in and take all the wealth and we'd end up with a load of very rich people and a load of very poor people. - Adrian Johnson [36:43]The problem is France didn't have any real role models, successful entrepreneurs. There's no Bill Gates, there's no Steve Jobs or Elon Musk. - Adrian Johnson [49:07]Entrepreneurship can create, not can, but does create wealth not just for the entrepreneurs that are successful but for the entire economy and employment - Syd Finkelstein [57:57]There's still a lot of innovating to be done around how to more effectively use technology to help kids learn. And maybe it's not just in the content delivery but its the process of; how do you actually teach, how do people learn, and can they learn more effectively. - Adrian Johnson [62:11]Stay Connected: Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastAdrian Johnson:Website: adrianjohnson.comBlog: Adrian JohnsonINSEAD: Adrian JohnsonTwitter: @acvjohnsonSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.

There are jobs, there are careers, and then there are undeniable careers. On today's podcast, we get into it as we celebrate three renowned actors with long and studied careers: Sir Anthony Hopkins (The Silence of the Lambs, Amistad), Robert De Niro (The Godfather II, Raging Bull) and Samuel L.

Today’s podcast is a review of 'The Fast and the Furious' the 2001 action film about illegal street racing starring Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster. With the ninth installment of this series steering its way into theaters soon, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the landmark original. That's right, it's Dom, Letty, Brian, Mia, Vince, and the villainous Johnny Tran and his gang. And Ja Rule, too.The three of us jumped right in the driver's seat discussing the cast and themes in the movie, obvious comparisons to 1991's 'Point Break', the stunts and set pieces, and how 'Fast 1' birthed what has become a billion dollar franchise. Later, we switch gears and ask the big question: HOW MANY MORE OF THESE CAN THEY MAKE?All right, all right, pump your brakes ... we're just kidding. Thanks for listening. SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2021 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson

Today's podcast is a throwback to the great 'What If' and 'Elseworlds' comics of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. We're talking alternate reality stories of Batman teaming up with Harry Houdini, Superman as a Soviet agent, Jane Foster finds the hammer of Thor and Iron Man as a traitor.You see, for fans like us, what blew our minds about these stories wasn’t simply the out-there nature of these ideas. It was the infusion of real consequence and change into familiar characters who often remained in stasis. In the conversation, we reminisce about some of our favorite 'What If' and 'Elseworlds' stories and have a few laughs, especially while discussing a classic,  all-star issue of Marvel's 'What If?' (#34 to be exact).What are some of your favorite 'What If' and 'Elseworlds' stories? Hit us up on our socials and let us know. And as always, thanks for listening.SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2021 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson

The man in the beskar armor has returned in Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni's epic tale of bounty hunting, double crosses, giant monsters, and galaxy-hopping adventures in season 2 of Disney’s ‘The Mandalorian’. All of the familiar faces from season one are back, too: Cara Dune, Greef Karga, Moff Gideon, and of course, Baby Yoda (we find out his true name). But we also get some fresh faces with this new season: Morgan Elsbeth, Cobb Vanth, and from ‘Rebels’ and ‘Clone Wars’, Bo-Katan Kryze and Ahsoka Tano. It's a real hoot!In the conversation, Dwight and Swain compare the violence and kills from seasons one and two, talk about the casting choices of Rosario Dawson, Katee Sackhoff and Timothy Olyphant, and revel in the return of Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett. Also, RIP to the Razor Crest.Both seasons of ‘The Mandalorian’ are available on the Disney+ app. Check 'em out ASAP. We have spoken.As always, thanks for listening to the podcast. And don’t forget to share us on your social media so new listeners can find us as well.SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2021 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson

Today’s episode is an epic lovefest for two of the greatest science fantasy magazines ever published: Epic Illustrated and Heavy Metal. Like an entire generation of readers, Dwight and Swain became huge fans of Epic and ‘Métal Hurlant’ back in the mid 80s. The most revered science fiction, fantasy and comic book storytellers of all time were featured in their hallowed pages: Moebius, Michael Moorcock, Jim Starlin, Wendy Pini, Boris Vallejo, Luis Royo, Jon J. Muth, Richard Corben, Jo Duffy, Enki Bilal, Marie Severin, Jeffrey Catherine Jones, H.R. Giger, Simon Bisley, Pepe Moreno, Harlan Ellison, the Hildebrandt Brothers and many, many more.In the conversation, Dwight and Swain give their first impressions of the magazines, namecheck their favorite artists from that era, and of course, discuss the 1981 ‘Heavy Metal’ movie as well as a one-time rumored David Fincher/James Cameron produced sequel.The hosts of Sidebar Forever are of the opinion that Epic Illustrated and Heavy Metal closed the gap between amazing book cover paintings and amazing comic book art. They were tastemakers and showed the world what great fantasy stories could, and should be. By the way, four decades later, Heavy Metal magazine is still being published. As always, thanks for listening to the podcast.

‘Wonder Woman 1984’ was among several blockbuster films scheduled for release in early 2020 that ended up delayed due to low theater attendance. Over the last few weeks, its parent studio Warner Brothers announced that not only would it be releasing ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ on Christmas Day via theaters and HBO Max, but it would do the same thing with its entire slate of 2021 releases. So starting on December 25th, you can see movies like ‘The Matrix 4’, ‘The Suicide Squad’ and ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ in your local cinema as well as from the comfort of your own home. This struck us as a real game changer for the moviegoing experience and worthy of discussion. Will other studios like Universal and Disney follow the Warner Bros. model? Will megaplex theater chains like AMC and Regal become relics of the past? And what does a move like this mean for the kinds of films filmmakers can and want to make? For more episodes, subscribe to us at sidebarforever.com or wherever you get your podcasts.SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2020 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson

On December 10, 2020, we, just as legions of fans across the world, were devastated by the news of the passing of Richard Corben. Corben was stated to have passed following heart surgery a week prior on December 2.In tribute to this monumental creator, we wanted to re-present an episode dedicated to Corben from our archives.Originally broadcast on April 17, 2015, this episode was for a segment that we called ‘Shine On’ spotlighting artists who may not have been widely appreciated and unsung as ‘household names’ so to speak.And Corben was obviously beyond worthy.Please enjoy our humble retrospective on Corben’s career and art that broadened, titillated and ultimately inspired the imaginations of generations of fans and artists worldwide.For more episodes, be sure to subscribe to sidebarforever.com or wherever you get your podcasts. SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2020 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson

What’s the most '80s thing you can think of? Colorful leg warmers and headbands? Odd slang like "grody" and "tubular?" Pop metal bands with big hair and tons of makeup? On today’s episode, we each made a 'top 5' list of the most 80s movies we could think of. Not necessarily our favorites from that era, but ones that really exemplify the decade for good or ill. Fame, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo's Fire, Beat Street, and Top Gun are just a few of the films we celebrated from the 'decade of greed'. "I know, right? Gag me with a spoon!" Thanks for listening to this "super not-serious but awesome totally-awesome" episode of Sidebar Forever! For more episodes, subscribe to us at sidebarforever.com or wherever you get your podcasts. SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2020 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson     

It’s that time of year when we reflect on what we have, where we are and give thanks. Yes, today, it's a very special Sidebar Forever. Just kidding. But not really. Dwight suggested the three of us sit down, take a look back at 2020, and make note of some things for which we’re truly grateful. He tells a story about a scene from 'Guardians of the Galaxy 2' that he relates back to his late father. Adrian discusses losing his own dad earlier this year, as well as being there for his mom. Swain celebrates mentors and surrogate parents via the films 'Antwone Fisher' and 'Jingle Jangle', the new Netflix Christmas special. And believe it or not, amidst the deep reflection, we managed to get a few chuckles in there to lighten the mood.Another thing we're thankful for is you, our listeners. We appreciate you checking in with us each episode and following us wherever you get your podcasts. And if you live here in the States, please have a happy and safe Thanksgiving. SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2020 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson    

What have you done today to earn your place in this crowded world?  Dwight and Swain are here to do a short review of the Amazon Prime series ‘Utopia’, written and executive produced by Gillian Flynn of 'Gone Girl' fame.  ‘Utopia’ is a story about a band of obsessed comic book fans knee-deep in a conspiracy theory-turned-real that could lead to a literal Armageddon. On the episode, Dwight and Swain explain how they came to the show, break down a few characters like Jessica Hyde, Arby, and the nefarious biotech engineer Kevin Christie (played by John Cusack), as well as comment on the "dangers" of putting out a TV show about a pandemic in the middle of a pandemic.  By the way, the version of ‘Utopia’ we're reviewing today is the American adaptation. The original cult favorite was created by Dennis Kelly and aired on Channel 4 in the U.K. back in 2013.                                     As always, thanks for listening and don’t forget to subscribe to the show on sidebarforever.com or wherever you get your podcasts. SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2020 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson

On this episode, Dwight and Adrian pay tribute to Sir Sean Connery. Connery passed away on October 30, 2020 and we wanted to take the opportunity to reflect upon his imprint on cinematic history.While most will forever regard Connery as THE definitive James Bond in beginning the titular franchise, his filmography is rich with other roles equally as memorable. From James Bond to an aged Robin Hood to espousing ’The Chicago Way to commanding a Russian nuclear submarine, Connery will be forever remembered for the incredible charisma and authority that he brought to the screen.                                        As always, thanks for listening and don’t forget to subscribe to the show on sidebarforever.com or wherever you get your podcasts. SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2020 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson

On this special Halloween-themed episode, we chose a topic we could truly ... sink our teeth into. Vampires have been a go-to in the horror genre since the 1922 silent film 'Nosferatu' and they show no signs of going to that eternal sleep. From Bela Lugosi to Christopher Lee to ‘Fright Night’ and ‘The Lost Boys’ to ‘Buffy’ and ‘Blade’, all the way to modern day with things like ‘Twilight’ and ‘What We Do in the Shadows’, people dig these bloodsucking creatures of the night. But as the writers and directors (and mediums) have changed, so has the popular image of the vampire. Is this how the undead have managed to survive all these years?Thanks for checking out the podcast and don't forget to subscribe to the show here on sidebarforever.com or wherever you get your podcasts.  Lastly, the pandemic has a lot of us keeping it close to the house this Halloween. And with good reason --it's scary out there. To our listeners and friends who do decide to venture out this Saturday, please be safe. And definitely wear your mask! SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2020 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson

Hughie, Marvin, Frenchie, Kimiko and Butcher have returned for season two of Amazon Prime’s hit streaming series ’The Boys’. With more heroism (and carnage) at the hands of the vainglorious Supes, and more ingenuity (and infighting) from our ragtag squad of anti-Supes. And we three are here to chop up all of it!On this episode, we start with major takeaways, do a short dive into new characters like Stormfront and Lamplighter, and praise Antony Starr’s nuanced portrayal of the powerful yet broken Homelander. Also addressed in the conversation are the elements of Nazism and racism that have come to the fore, as well as a few of our critiques of season two.And of course, we couldn’t skip over that epic season finale beatdown!

Today, we start a new movie review series called Playback. This first episode looks at the cult classic action-fantasy ‘Highlander’ starring Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery and Clancy Brown as the menacing Kurgan. Released to theaters in March of 1986, 'Highlander' is the tale of immortals warring across time for the ‘Prize’ - to become mortal. We discuss our favorite scenes, performances, cool trivia, and give praise to the film’s memorable score by composer Michael Kamen and the rock band Queen. Also, we delve into the franchise of sequels and spinoffs birthed by the film.We've referenced ‘Highlander’ many, many times on past episodes, so this was a long time coming. As always, thanks for listening and please subscribe to the show at Sidebar Forever.com or wherever you get your podcasts.SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2020 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson

Let’s play a game, shall we?On today’s episode, we resurrect a game we used to play on the previous iteration of the show. It's called "Either Or, Choose One No More" and it goes like this: You present the players with two pop culture options and they have to choose one or the other.Simple, right?But the object of the game is to create pain, if you will, in the choosing. To really make your players think about — and care about — their answers.For example:"Alien or Aliens? Either or, choose one no more."or"American Gods or Penny Dreadful?  Either or, choose one no more." Today, we play that game amongst ourselves and it could not have been more fun. We won’t give away the specific rules we played by here, but please know, there was a TWIST! Thanks again for listening to Sidebar Forever and please subscribe on sidebarforever.com or wherever you get your podcasts. SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2020 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson

Back in 2012, on our previous incarnation, we released a two-parter reviewing HBO’s lauded crime drama 'The Wire'. Created by former Baltimore journalist David Simon, 'The Wire' is known, almost unequivocally, as the greatest show in television history. Sidebar Forever shares that opinion, full stop. And since the pandemic has us all spending far more time at home, we thought: "Maybe it's time to re-up?" Inspired by another Wire podcast, as well as a terrific book that chronicles the behind-the-scenes of the show, we re-watched all five seasons. That's right, we're checking in on the detail: McNulty, Lester, Kima, Cedric, Herc, Carver, Prez and Ronnie. And not to mention: Avon, Stringer, Wee Bay, D'Angelo, Bodie, Omar and even the silver-tongued Senator himself, Clay Davis ("...Sheeeeiiiiiiiiid"). It's been almost 20 years since "The Wire" debuted on HBO, and in that time, many of its character arcs and ruminations on inner-city life and the systems therein, continue to resonate powerfully. Join us as we cruise the streets of West Bald'more; looking for stash houses and unsuspecting corner boys. Cuz the game is the game — ya feel me? As always, thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe to Sidebar Forever online wherever you get your podcasts. SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2020 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson

The recent HBO series 'Lovecraft Country' is a hit, and as a result, there has been renewed interest in the works of the horror writer H.P. Lovecraft from whom it takes its name. However, Lovecraft was a notorious racist and xenophobe and the show doesn't shy away from acknowledging his personal legacy of hate and ignorance, while at the same time, celebrating his contribution to the genre of horror.In other words, they don't cancel him.But that doesn't happen for everyone. Celebrities such as Bill Cosby, Louis CK, Kevin Spacey, Roseanne Barr and actor Chris D'Elia have all been cancelled for gross, ugly and in some cases, criminal behavior. Even the microcosms of the comic book industry and the visual arts have not been unscathed as several known figures within them have been cancelled due to sexual impropriety and harassment.On this episode, we ask a few questions: Has 'cancel culture' put power in the hands of fans, and honestly, do we like canceling people?Why are some celebrities persona non grata after cancelation (Michael Vick) while others never get called out in the first place (Cardi B)?And ultimately, do we as a society stand to lose out on great art in the future because we can't separate the art from the artist? As always, thanks for tuning in!   — Don't forget to subscribe and follow Sidebar Forever online wherever you get your podcasts! —  SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2020 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson

All in good fun, of course. The three of us chop it up about costume designs dating back to the golden age of the 1930s and 1940s and bring it up to modern day. We cover some trends, shout out some cool shit, call out some design faux pas, as well as some plain old design missteps. We also touch on how the box office success of comic book movies has affected how characters are portrayed on the comic book page.  Thanks for listening and if you aren't subscribing to the show, please do so wherever you get your podcasts. SIDEBAR FOREVER ©2020 Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson

Hosts Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson chop up the evolution of style across the strata of popular media -- comics, art, film, TV and music. Do some styles have a shelf life? Why are some styles timeless and seem as fresh today as in their particular heydays? Are there ingredients for a style to become classic?   

On this episode, hosts Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson chop up the Amazon original series 'The Boys'. Adapted from the popular comic book series of the same name by writer Garth Ennis and artist Darick Robertson, 'The Boys' details a world where superheroes are treated almost as professional athletes and celebrities with endorsement deals, corporate sponsorships and the adulation of millions. However, there is a very dark undercurrent to these glorious heroes that is discovered by a rogue band of normal humans to bring down these 'supes' -- 'The Boys'.We discuss 'The Boys' as a product of a post-'Watchmen' take on superheroes, how the characters are very much like your workplace and the many 'Oh S**t!' moments that the series delivers. 

The African-American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC) wants to be considered a preferred diversity, equity, and inclusion partner for the credit union system, says Adrian Johnson, chief financial officer at $1.2 billion asset MECU Credit Union in Baltimore and AACUC chairman. In this episode of the CUNA News Podcast, recorded during AACUC’s 21st annual conference in Charlotte, N.C., Johnson discusses the organization’s unique role within the credit union system, opportunities that await AACUC, and his experiences at MECU. Plus, Adrian’s wife, Zelda, shares the story of a health scare she experienced in 2017, and how that event changed her and Adrian’s lives.

In this inaugural episode, hosts Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson discuss the cultural phenomenon that is HBO's 'Game Of Thrones'. Based on the books by author George R.R. Martin, the television series has seemingly captured the zeitgeist and transcended every demographic since its debut in April 2011. 'Thrones' has absolutely asserted itself into the same pantheon as the greatest sci-fi/fantasy franchises like 'Star Wars', 'Harry Potter' or 'The Walking Dead'.We chop it up over its impact on popular culture, its loyal fanbase and the backlash over the show's final season in May 2019.

He has spent his entire working life making a difference in the lives of the people in his credit union and his community.
