Fifty years after its inception, Dungeons & Dragons has become more than just a fantasy game for nerds. It's a cultural phenomenon, thanks in part to Netflix's “Stranger Things” and livestream channels like Critical Role. So how can D&D's parent company Wizards of the Coast keep the momentum going and deliver more innovations? Ryan Dancey, former VP at Wizards of the Coast, breaks down this D&D ‘Golden Age' and explains what it will take for the game to enter a new digital realm.

Pop 3: Netflix's number-one doc The Reckoning dives deep into the rise, chaos, and explosive allegations surrounding Diddy, featuring never-before-seen footage, insider interviews, and a shocking look at the power, protection, and alleged abuses that followed him for decades. Meanwhile, Vanderpump Villa's Marciano Brunette is officially suing MomTok's Demi Engemann for defamation after she accused him of sexual assault, with newly obtained legal documents claiming their interactions were consensual and continued for months afterward. And finally, breakup buzz is swirling around Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios after his absence from DWTS, conflicting long-distance rumors, and Alix posting a TikTok filmed inside his Miami house. Deep Dive: The Summer House trailer might be the best thing Bravo has produced in years, and I'm breaking down all the chaos, nostalgia, and new dynamics. From the return of the original theme song (instant chills), to the emotional throwbacks of Lindsay and Carl in 2017 and Kyle proposing to Amanda, to SIX new cast members signaling a potential series split, this trailer has everything. We unpack Ciara-West-Jesse love triangle breadcrumbs, the never-ending Kyle and Amanda cycle, the explosive Carl vs. Kyle confrontation, and the bigger shifts happening within the cast. Final Thoughts: The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion format just isn't working, and it shows. With season 4 already filming and producers trying to avoid spoilers, the season 3 reunion ends up feeling like a filler episode instead of a true reckoning. Most of the focus drifted to DadTok and Vanderpump Villa crossovers, and honestly, if you skipped the reunion entirely, you'd miss nothing going into next season. As the show speeds up production, the reunions are becoming less meaningful, less cohesive, and increasingly unnecessary… and it might be time for the franchise to rethink whether they need them at all. *Shop MPT Merch* ►⁠ https://shop.hurrdatmedia.com/collections/morgans-pop-talks⁠ *Listen to the podcast* ►⁠ https://hurrdatmedia.com/network/show/morgans-pop-talks/⁠ *Join my Patreon* for exclusive minisodes each week! ► http://www.patreon.com/morganspoptalks for exclusive minisodes each week! *Subscribe to my weekly newsletter* for reminders, important links, and additional surprises! ►⁠ https://www.morganptalks.com/⁠   *About Morgan's Pop Talks* Welcome to Morgan's Pop Talks – your weekly VIP pass into the world of reality TV and pop culture!

We've been talking about the Paramount Skydance/Warner Brothers Discovery/Netflix Billionaire Boys Club Spectacular for a few days now. But it's really worth digging into the details to understand how all of this could reshape our media diets – and our politics. If Netflix buys Warner Bros. Discovery, that could be very bad news for Hollywood. But if Paramount buys Warner Bros. Discovery, the Trump-supporting Ellisons would own: CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, DC Studios, TNT Sports, Warner Bros., Oracle and a whole bunch more. It's basically a big, complicated mess — so to unpack what it means for consumers and why on earth President Trump is involved, we spoke to Ben Smith. He's co-founder and editor-in-chief of Semafor, and host of the Mixed Signals podcast.And in headlines, Trump brings his economic message to the American people on the first stop of his affordability tour, the Supreme Court hears arguments over campaign finance limits, and will Americans follow Australia's footsteps and ban social media for children?Show Notes:Check out Mixed Signals – https://tinyurl.com/ycxvkz6fCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, Scott sat down with Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien and Contributing Editor Alex Zerden to talk through a few of the week's big national security news stories, including:“Finding the Road to Damascus.” Former dictator Bashar al-Assad fled Syria one year ago this week, bringing a precipitous end to the country's more than decade-long civil war. In the year since, has the country been able to make progress toward the optimistic future many hoped would follow al-Assad's ouster? And what obstacles still lie in its path?“Civilizational Self-Confidence Scheme.” The Trump administration has undergone the once-per-term statutorily-mandated ritual of releasing its National Security Strategy. It claims an intent to stay the course on many key bipartisan pillars of U.S. foreign policy, but mixes in heavy doses of isolationism, ethnonationalism, and criticism of Europe for losing its “civilizational self-confidence.” How seriously should we take this document? And what does it tell us about the likely trajectory of U.S. foreign policy?“A Dimon in the Rough?” JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has announced a ten-year initiative to invest $1.5 trillion in U.S. companies critical to U.S. national security and economic resilience. Is this an attempt by Dimon to repair his sometimes frosty relationship with the Trump administration by complimenting its “America First” strategy? Or is it an initiative that more genuinely strikes at the intersection of market logic and U.S. national security?In object lessons, Tyler is exploring the great heritage of American landmarks with “Lost in America: Photographing the Last Days of our Architectural Treasures” an archive of the Historic American Buildings Survey. Scott is embracing the holiday season the classic way—by settling in with delightfully cheesy films like A Merry Little Ex-Mas and Jingle Bell Heist on Netflix. And Alex is broadening the lens with “The World For Sale: Money, Power, and the Traders Who Barter the Earth's Resources,“ by Jack Farchy and Javier Blas, a deep dive into the global trade networks and power brokers who shape the flow of the planet's resources.Rational Security will be having its traditional end-of-year episode later this month, which will focus on listener-submitted topics and object lessons!

My guest today is director Rian Johnson, which is exciting for me, because I've been a huge fan of his ever since seeing his first feature film, ‘Brick,'  in 2006. Since then, he's made six more feature films, including ‘Looper‘ in 2012; ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘ in 2017; the murder mystery ‘Knives Out‘ in 2019; and his most recent movie, another in the 'Knives Out' series, ‘Wake Up Dead Man,‘ which is already out in theaters, and comes to Netflix on December 12. I talked to Rian about a piece of music that had a profound impact on him, which was the overture to ‘Das Rheingold‘ by Richard Wagner. For more info, visit songexploder.net/rian-johnson.

Last Friday, Netflix announced that they would be acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery, a massive megamerger that would let the number one streaming service acquire the third biggest streamer (HBO Max), the entire Warner Bros. film catalog, its cable channels, and the Discovery+ streaming service. But before any shareholders could celebrate, Paramount Skydance, the megaconglomerate led by the Trump-favored Ellison family, launched a hostile takeover. Which company will emerge victorious here…will the biggest loser be the cinephile consumer? Guest: Nitish Pahwa, Slate staff writer covering business and tech. Want more What Next?

Trump has confessed that he will be using his presidential power and the DOJ's antitrust division to benefit his son in law Jared Kushner and his Arab investors and try to win Warner Brothers and its CNN assets for Trump's bff, Larry Ellison and his son who own and control Paramount Skydance. If successful in defeating US Based Netflix in its bid to acquire Warner Brothers, Trump will have effectively taken over 2 main stream media companies in CBS and CNN in less than 6 months, as his assault on independent media continues. Michael Popok joins to explain the Hostile Take Over Process through his Wall Street lens, and to explain how Trump's family stands to benefit from defeating Netflix and letting the Arab World control Warner and CNN.

Last Friday, Netflix announced that they would be acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery, a massive megamerger that would let the number one streaming service acquire the third biggest streamer (HBO Max), the entire Warner Bros. film catalog, its cable channels, and the Discovery+ streaming service. But before any shareholders could celebrate, Paramount Skydance, the megaconglomerate led by the Trump-favored Ellison family, launched a hostile takeover. Which company will emerge victorious here…will the biggest loser be the cinephile consumer? Guest: Nitish Pahwa, Slate staff writer covering business and tech. Want more What Next?

My podcast guru CHRIS BROUSSARD (no, not that guy) joins us, and as a father with 2 sons who went to Notre Dame, he was ready to stuff me into a locker! Also Jalen Hurts has 2 TO's on one play.

Trigger Warning: discussion of mass shootings. In this powerful episode (originally aired on 3/19/25), I sit down with Sandy Hook survivor, Ella Seaver, to discuss the lasting impact of gun violence on mental health, the importance of activism, and the need for change in gun laws. We explore her journey of healing, the challenges of leaving her supportive community for college, and how she's found purpose in pain through advocacy. This conversation sheds light on the often-overlooked mental health consequences of mass shootings and offers a unique perspective on gun violence from someone who experienced it firsthand. For a special intro to this episode, we are joined by CBS News correspondent and journalist, Steve Hartman, to talk about Netflix's new documentary, All The Empty Rooms, a seven-year-long project that documents the empty bedrooms of children killed in school shootings. This episode is a reminder to us all that we can no longer become numb to this issue.Key Takeaway / Points:What led Steve Hartman to embark on the project, All The Empty RoomsSteve's emotional experience documenting the empty bedrooms left behind of children killed in school shootingsSteve's hope to bring awareness and open minds through watching this documentaryElla shares the lasting mental health impact of surviving a mass shootingChallenges of leaving a supportive community after experiencing traumaThe importance of therapy and mental health resources for survivorsHow activism can provide purpose in pain and healing for survivorsThe need for an assault weapon bansThe "spiderweb effect" of gun violence on families and communitiesElla's journey towards healing and finding her voiceThe role of therapy and grounding techniques in managing PTSD symptomsThe impact of "thoughts and prayers" versus actionable changeSign the March Fourth petition HEREDonate to March Fourth HEREWatch All The Empty Rooms HERELearn more about All The Empty Rooms HEREWatch this episode on YouTube HEREFollow me:Instagram: @cameronoaksrogers and @conversations_with_camSubstack: Fill Your CupWebsite: cameronoaksrogers.comTikTok: @cameronoaksrogers and @conversations_with_camYoutube: Cameron Rogers

On this week's episode, Gabfest old friends Steve, Julia, and June Thomas convene on two showbiz works of midlife retrospection and regret: the new film Jay Kelly and Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along. The former, directed by Noah Baumbach, stars George Clooney as the titular movie star looking back on his life while on a European train picaresque. The latter was a legendary flop for Sondheim, had a triumphant Broadway revival starring Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Mendez, and now has arrived at movie theaters. In our third segment, the panel turns to another showbiz saga full of bitter regret: the fight to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery. Joined by writer and Hollywood watcher Mark Harris, they untangle the fight between Netflix and Paramount to outbid each other for the legacy film studio—and what it all has to do with Trump and the future of movie-going itself.  In an exclusive bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, it's back to join the Joined in our recap discussion of Pluribus episode 7 “The Gap.”  Act now, there's still time to leave us a voicemail with your burning cultural queries for our annual call-in show by calling us at 347-201-2397.

The Netflix documentary film The Stringer: The Man Who Took the Photo follows war correspondent Gary Knight as he attempts to learn who actually captured the famous “Napalm Girl” picture. The hunt for the unidentified photographer will take him across the globe and put him at odds with a journalistic community deeply protective of Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Nick Út's legacy. Knight enlists a visual forensics team to pinpoint which cameraman in Trảng Bàng was in position to snap the picture that altered the way many viewed the war in Vietnam.  In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews director Bao Nguyen. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched The Stringer yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on.  Dig deeper into all of your favorite Netflix documentaries and films at tudum.com.

The boys gather to talk about the white supremacist rhetoric from Trump and other conservatives against Somali immigrants in Minnesota, honing in on a few fraud schemes to demonize the entire group. In other, also awful, news, CNN announced a partnership with the prediction market Kalshi to bring real-time betting odds into their reporting. From casual war profiteering to promoting destructive gambling addictions, what could go wrong with this partnership? Lastly, the boys denounce Netflix's acquisition of Warner Bros. and Fulnecky's growing celebrity.Nominate for the 2025 HITO Awards Show: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfoDuNNegEB-dgyLC0RnIzZiZVWNhZKDX_OkwYtt46_VKePvA/viewform?usp=publish-editorPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodSubstack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/HITO Merch: https://headintheoffice.com/ Get 40% off Ground News: https://ground.news/checkout/all?fpr=headintheoffice YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeThreads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheofficeDiscord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: headintheofficepod@gmail.comSeen on this episode:Trump hates Somalis for no reason - https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/minnesota-fraud-trump-somali-community-8433f648?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqfrxWl99wmk-xeLofMLTjP9beB3VOHp5pX9NGfkj0MKK13ka8Rw_woVMKjk3AQ%3D&gaa_ts=6935aa1a&gaa_sig=tCrGR26-toDHtihr4yV5ArTtu783KOXrczRjoSh3jB8EFucn8w0WSv24BqC0jtwEJ42uCq-NatOdaegdLnRjmQ%3D%3D https://www.npr.org/2025/12/03/nx-s1-5631809/somali-immigrants-minnesota-twin-cities-trump-ilhan-omar https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/us/politics/trump-somalia.html https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/report/economic-impact-refugees-america/ https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/somali-minnesotans-drive-economic-growth-pay-67m-taxes-annually/ https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2022/05/who-is-receiving-social-safety-net-benefits.html CNN & Kalshi team up for evil - https://news.kalshi.com/p/kalshi-cnn-prediction-market-partnershiphttps://polymarket.com/event/will-israel-launch-a-major-ground-offensive-in-gaza-by-october-31?tid=1765155882932https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonwingard/2025/11/19/the-polymarket-effect-how-prediction-markets-are-beating-the-experts/

This week we're rooting on Australia's bold new experiment: a nationwide social media ban for teens under 16 (even though we're not quite sure how it's gonna work). With companies on the hook for massive fines, we break down how the government plans to enforce it, what apps are included, and how we would've handled this kind of restriction as teens ourselves. Would we support something similar in the U.S., and would parents actually help enforce it? We also talk VPN loopholes, whack-a-mole app workarounds, and the nostalgia of being slightly less online growing up. We're also talking Hollywood's latest attention-grabbing strategy: vertical micro-dramas. With Netflix's bombshell bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery and streamers scrambling for our eyeballs, these 45-second, swipe-friendly “shows” are becoming a real investment. We discuss whether they work, why the “second screen problem” is driving this trend, and if TV has actually gotten worse, or if we've all just gotten too distracted. We wrap with recs: Think of setting New Year's themes, not resolutions (Andrew), vibration plates (Laura), and buying cleaning brush attachments for your drill head instead of buying a whole new cleaning appliance (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: We get some follow up tea on family holiday drama, and we ask each other some probing questions about ourselves inspired by Teen Vogue's list of 215 questions to ask your friends.

Most people think sales is about talking. Ryan Serhant knows better — it's about translating. After closing over $20 billion in real estate deals and building one of the fastest-growing brokerages in America, the star of Netflix's Owning Manhattan has cracked the code on how to get anyone to say yes. From selling homes to billionaires to building a media empire on the back of reality TV, Ryan reveals the brutal truth about what it actually takes to win at the highest level. In this raw conversation, Ryan breaks down the orchid trick (he's sent 2,000 of them), why silence is violence in negotiations, and how a fake Rolex changed his entire life. We dive into why wealthy people don't pay for information or access, but instead pay for confidence; how to get a stranger to trust you with real money; and why the best negotiators throw the first punch. But this isn't just about closing deals — it's about building an empire. Ryan reveals how he's stacking businesses under one holding company (brokerage, media, education, and AI), why his LTV to CAC ratio is 6x while the industry averages 1x, and how he's building real estate brokerage 3.0 with no physical offices. If you've ever wondered how to sell to the ultra-wealthy without sucking up, how to build unshakeable confidence when you're broke, or why setbacks are just speed bumps and not brick walls, this episode will change how you think about sales, negotiation, and what it takes to become the best in the world at what you do. Protect what you own. Next makes it fast, simple, and painless.

Michelle Wolf is probably best known for being the comedian who roasted Sarah Huckabee Sanders to her face at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2018. Seven years later, her only regret is that she wasn't meaner. In this episode, Wolf reflects on how much—and how little—has changed since, from Donald Trump's escalating attacks on comedians to her new identity as mom of two, which she explores in her new Netflix special ‘The Well.' She discusses her complicated reasons for turning down the Riyadh Comedy Festival, explains how her short-lived talk show ‘The Break' predicted Trump 2.0, and shares her take on the fragile state of late-night TV. And later, Wolf reveals how she ended up writing Kim Kardashian's SNL monologue after the reality star decided Amy Schumer's jokes weren't funny enough.

Diddy's mother is firing back at Netflix — and the accusations are personal. The documentary "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" doesn't just cover Diddy's trial and conviction. It makes a bigger argument: that the behavior that landed him in federal prison started in childhood. That it was learned. Normalized. That before there was Puff Daddy or Bad Boy Records, there was a kid in Mount Vernon — and whatever happened to that kid matters. Two witnesses make the case against Janice Combs. Tim Patterson, a childhood friend, says he watched Janice physically abuse Sean for years. He describes parties at the family home with pimps, drug dealers, and adults having sex in rooms kids could walk into. Kirk Burrowes, who co-founded Bad Boy Entertainment, says he witnessed Sean slap his mother during an argument after the 1991 City College stampede that killed nine people. Janice is calling it all lies. She says she raised Sean with love and hard work as a single mother. She says Patterson's claims are "salacious" and designed to promote the documentary. She says Burrowes has been trying to steal Bad Boy Records for thirty years and this is just his latest play. But here's what she doesn't address: There's footage of Janice herself joking about giving Sean "a lot of beatings" on national television. And Burrowes kept handwritten journals from his time inside Bad Boy. Today we break down the allegations, the evidence, the rebuttals, and the credibility problems on both sides — including the fact that this documentary was executive produced by 50 Cent, Diddy's longtime rival. Sean Combs was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. Janice Combs denies all allegations. All parties are entitled to the presumption of innocence on unproven claims. #Diddy #SeanCombs #JaniceCombs #Netflix #TheReckoning #TrueCrime #CrimeWeekly #BadBoyRecords #50Cent #DiddyDocumentary Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
