Podcasts about Battle of the Sexes

It's the end of 2025, so naturally we're settling scores. The gang kicks off revisiting what we somehow rated the highest this year and arguing whether those scores still hold up. From anime to TV, movies, and games, we run through our favorite 2025 recommendations—and a few picks that definitely say more about us than the media itself.We dive headfirst into a full spoiler discussion of the Plur1bus finale, breaking down what worked, what didn't, and whether the ending actually earned its big swings.Izzy gives his take on the live-action How to Train Your Dragon, wrestling with nostalgia, shot-for-shot faithfulness, and the uncomfortable realization that it might actually work.Mox checks in with Another World, spotlighting a lesser-talked-about animated film out of Hong Kong and why it stood out visually and thematically.Gibbs unloads by suffering through—and reporting back on—a pile of truly awful Christmas movies, because someone had to do it, and it definitely wasn't going to be Izzy.Finally, we close out 2025 by diving into a full review of Battle of the Sexes as part of the ongoing Emmaverse, unpacking its themes, performances, and whether it deserves its place in our ever-growing Emma Stone–adjacent cinematic journey.End-of-year chaos, Emmaverse commitments, strong opinions, questionable rankings, and absolutely no restraint. See you in 2026.Support us on Patreon!

This episode I am joined by two-time Academy Award nominee, film editor Pamela Martin. She edited the recent Springsteen biopic “Deliver Me From Nowhere”. The film was directed Scott Cooper, adapted from Warren Zanes' book documenting the making of Springsteen's stark classic “Nebraska”. Pam has worked on movies including King Richard, Little Miss Sunshine, Battle Of The Sexes, Free State Of Jones, Hitchcock, and many more. If you're listening to this as a Springsteen fan I think you'll find it fascinating, but even if you're interested more broadly in film making, I think this is the first time I've had an editor on the show, so it was interesting for me to learn more about the parameters and responsibilities of the role, and Pamela was fantastic company and had so much to say. Her passion for her work really comes through. I hope you enjoy it. I certainly did. I also give a run-down of my favourite albums and events of the year. Find me on Instagram @sendingsignalspodcast

Long before the trans athletes in women's sport debate became as toxic as it has, there was a far more jovial contest over the sporting supremacy of the genders called The Battle of the Sexes, with female tennis superstars taking on men in big televised exhibitions. Margaret Court lost to Bobby Riggs in the first back in 1973. Riggs then sensationally lost to Billie Jean-King later that same year, with a TV audience of 50 million.Riggs was by that time 55 years old, 26 years older than King. And then the great Martina Navratilova lost to Jimmy Connors in 1992, putting the debate to bed for good... until now. The world's number one in women's tennis, Aryna Sabalenka, will take on the world's number one in tennis tantrums, Nick Kyrgios, on the 28th of December in Dubai. Both of them join Piers Morgan to discuss the contest and more.Piers Morgan Uncensored is proudly independent and supported by: ExpressVPN: Right now you can get an extra four months of ExpressVPN for free.

Welcome to the new era of the podcast – now known as Body-Led Woman. We live in a time where women are told to be hyper-independent and self-sufficient. A time where we're told we don't need men. But beneath the ambition, the independence, and the pressure to have it all together, there is often a deep hunger for love. A longing to be chosen, held, and adored. To feel safe to soften. → Join Receiving Him – the 7-day somatic immersion – become the woman who inspires his love and leadership – and knows how to receive it in her body and heart Yet because we've created a culture where women feel safer doing everything themselves, where the idea of worshipping your beloved feels radical AF. We want strong, grounded masculine men, but we also take up all the leading space. And then we feel disappointed when they're not rising to meet us in our power. So how do we love men in a world that is so wildly confused about love, men and women? In this episode, you'll hear the deeper reasons women push away the love they want and why surrendering to men feels so edgy. You'll learn how hyper-independence becomes a new cage that blocks intimacy. How do we love men in the post-feminist era and ending the quiet battle between the sexes that is exhausting us all? How do we honor our power, independence, ambition, and leadership without losing the capacity to surrender, soften, and open to devotional love? If your body has been aching for a new paradigm, if your heart has been whispering that there must be a way for men and women to rise together, this conversation is an invitation to rethink how we love, how we relate, and how we can co-empower each other.  HIGHLIGHTS: The truth about why modern dating feels so confusing (for both men and women). The hidden double bind men are facing today that no one talks about. The underlying wounded narratives shaping modern womanhood. How to become the kind of woman who inspires devotion and leadership in a man. The collective resentment towards men Ending the battle of the sexes Why loving men in the post-feminist era has become an act of rebellion. How "not needing men" becomes a new cage that blocks women from receiving love.   → Join Receiving Him – the 7-day somatic immersion – become the woman who inspires his love and leadership – and knows how to receive it in her body and heart

George Bellshaw, Calvin Betton and James Gray unpick another "complicated" week of tennis news - because nothing is ever straightforward in this sport! They discussed... - A date has been confirmed for a new "Battle of the Sexes” with Aryna Sabalenka vs Nick Kyrgios set for 28 December in Dubai - Elena Rybakina wins the WTA Finals and is then determined to embarrass WTA boss Portia Archer over her role in banning coach Stefano Vukov - Aryna Sabalenka loses another big final and ends up in tears - Jack Draper says players need to stop talking and start doing over complaints on the gruelling tennis schedule - Novak Djokovic wins title No 101 in Athens, ripping off his shirt in celebration and becoming the oldest man to win a title in 48 years. It took him all of three gruelling hours against Lorenzo Musetti - whom he then told at the net that his defeat was meaningless and the Italian would still qualify for ATP World Tour Finals because Djokovic was pulling out - Learner Tien beat Cam Norrie in a fine Metz final to claim his first career title and confirm a top 30 debut. Breakthrough player of the year? - And finally, many congratulations to Ons Jabeur, who has announced that she is expecting a baby boy in April Learn more about your ad choices.

In another episode that was already released as a video overnight for our Patreon backers, Ben and Tumaini wrap up what was a very busy Saturday in the world of tennis, including three simultaneous finals. We start with the WTA Finals in Riyadh, where Elena Rybakina won a very high-quality, high-level tournament that still looked small. How is the WTA going in Saudi Arabia after two years? Should they extend their stay there? Read Tumaini's column on the state of the WTA for more. We then discuss the down-to-the-wire (down-to-the-netcord?) drama around the race to Turin, where Novak Djokovic made Lorenzo Musetti and Felix Auger-Aliassime sweat it out until the last possible moment before withdrawing from Turin. Was that fair or foul? We also discuss the newly announced "Battle of the Sexes" between Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios, which we both think is a bad idea (but for a different perspective, read Ben's interview with the organizer, Stuart Duguid).  And then for a fun finish, Tumaini waxes lyrical about his love for 1 Point Slam, which is returning in Melbourne next year in a much bigger form. Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR! And we especially thank our GOAT backers: Pam Shriver and J. O'D. And please check out Ben's new writing home, Bounces! And Tumaini's work at The Guardian!
