Bill Burr, Mark Normand, Vic Henley, Matt Pinfield, Ben Mezrich 2/20 The final year of my radio journey holds a special place in my heart, made even more poignant by the loss of my cherished friends, Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley. Reflecting on that time, I rediscovered the pure passion and exhilaration that drew me to radio in the first place. Amidst the chaos and challenges, we found endless moments of hilarity and camaraderie. Alongside Carl, Vic, and Sherrod Small, we shared unforgettable experiences both on and off the airwaves, our tight-knit bond shining through every episode. That year also marked Carl Ruiz's meteoric rise to stardom, inspiring me to launch the Opie Radio podcast with him. I'm immensely grateful to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul, and Louis for joining us on this wild ride. Get ready to dive into the rollercoaster of emotions—the highs, the lows, and the laugh-out-loud moments—that defined my last year in radio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew joins Ben this week to talk about a particular piece of punctuation that isn't a dinkus!  People have strong opinions about when and where the ellipsis should and shouldn't be used, so our hosts decided to investigate… for SCIENCE!  Along the way they discovered a number of new words to share (including dinkus)!  Fortunately there won't be a vocabulary quiz at the end of the show, but there will be an exploration of the use of the ellipsis in the text and dialog of comics, manga, and video games.  Finally, they close the show with a couple of odd questions from Ben and some of their soon to be famous tangential discussion nonsense. 00:00:21 - Unrefrigerated, getting a Whirlpool, Kevin Meaney, and no refrigerator magnets?! 00:02:56 - Ben throws some crazy, cabinet positions, still a general, and getting over… again 00:04:53 - Birthday time travel, trust the process, meeting on Threads, and Judy Blume books 00:08:04 - Best social media wingman, and “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai…” references 00:10:00 - Ben wants to compare arcade attendant notes with streamer AdventurerJessica  00:11:47 - Visual migraines, multifactorial, “the matchy color fun game,” and accomplishment 00:14:16 - Breaking up chapters, text message teaser, a very wordy hybrid, and linguistics 00:16:45 - Greek origins, graphs, two dollar words in 1800s, and the MLA format for writing 00:20:00 - Andrew thinks it's judgmental, prescriptive versus descriptive grammar, and ain't  00:22:31 - Interesting trends in language development, dialect coaches, and Ohio is derpy  00:24:51 - Generation Alpha's meme inspired phrases, Florida man, and ellipsis use in texting  00:28:03 - Unspoken anger, punctuation usage confusion, the Mongolian ellipsis, and math 00:30:52 - Folding, nobody else cares, picking up styles, and guides for technical writing 00:35:10 - Vocabulary words of the episode: aposiopesis, cæsura, and “elision or deletion” 00:37:40 - Andrew goes off on Shakespeare, the days of Solid Snake, and fancy Breakout  00:39:46 - “Goddess of Victory: Nikke” conversations, and Zero Wing's bad translations 00:42:07 - Pac-Man eating punctuation, more frequent in Japanese media, and pauses 00:44:12 - Widening the gap, interpreting the worst, and problems deciphering body language 00:48:29 - Andrew hopes he's getting paid, the movie rights, and Ben Mezrich's strategy 00:50:32 - Who would play you in a movie about your life, and does the face include ears?  00:52:34 - Tenet, Andrew's nemesis, Inception, and Ben threatens to buy Andrew a BluRay    00:54:10 - Final thoughts, to confuse and annoy, that's it, and a hero named “The Ellipsis”  Follow Andrew / Partly Robot Industries on… His website: https://partlyrobot.com/ On Instagram: https://instagram.com/partlyrobot On TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@partlyrobot On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/partlyrobot Follow Two Vague on… Our website: https://www.twovaguepodcast.com  On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/two_vague_podcast On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twovaguepodcast For show appearance and other inquiries, contact us at: twovaguepodcast@gmail.com -AND-  …for all of your PRI and 2VP merch check out the Partly Robot Industries store at TEEPUBLIC! https://www.teepublic.com/user/partly-robot-industries References, Links, and Tags Threads/IG Shout Outs for Liz, Kaja, and Jessica… (please be on the podcast)! https://instagram.com/liz_lapoint AND check out her GenXcellent Substack! https://instagram.com/booksbyblackley https://instagram.com/adventurerjessica  #Podbean #DIYPodcast #ApplePodcast #VideoGames #Trivia #Comedy #Talkshow #2VP #TwoVaguePodcast #PodernFamily #InterviewShow #GamersofThreads #Gamer #PartlyRobot #PartlyRobotIndustries #TeePublic

Historien om, hvordan GameStop blev verdens hotteste aktie! Er filmen ligeså vild som de virkelige hændelser? “Dumb Money” er en film baseret på virkelige begivenheder. En film, der fortæller historien om YouTube- og internetpersonligheden Keith Gill, der går under navnet Roaring Kitty, og hvordan han tog kampen op mod Wall Street. Han formåede ikke kun at få GameStop-aktien til at stige, men også at gøre den til en af de hotteste aktier i nyere tid. Filmen er altså en biografi og kombinerer både komedie og drama. Dette kommer især til udtryk i filmens stærke ensemblebesætning, der inkluderer skuespillere som Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, Nick Offerman og Seth Rogen, for bare at nævne et par stykker. Instruktøren bag filmen er Craig Gillespie, der tidligere har arbejdet på to andre biografiprojekter: filmen “I, Tonya” og serien “Pam & Tommy”. “Dumb Money” er baseret på bogen “The Antisocial Network” af Ben Mezrich og fortæller en moderne David mod Goliat-historie om almindelige mennesker, der bliver rige ved at gøre GameStop til verdens hotteste firma og vender op og ned på Wall Street. Det er en spændende historie, men er det lykkedes at gøre “Dumb Money” til en spændende film? Det er det store spørgsmål. Ikke desto mindre er denne film særligt relevant lige nu, fordi Roaring Kitty har været tavs siden 2021. Men den 7. juni i år 2024 lavede han sin første live-stream i 3 år, og hele aktiemarkedet holder vejret, mens de følger med. Nu vil vi anmelde filmen om ham, men inden vi starter, skal vi lige sige, at denne anmeldelse indeholder store spoilers fra filmen, da vi bliver nødt til at tale om filmens portrættering af de virkelige begivenheder. I denne episode medvirker Mikkel Juel Gregersen, Daniel Møgelhøj, Sebastian Volder og Morten Urup. Tusind tak fordi du lytter med!

En este episodio charlo con Nacho Theveritas sobre los interesantes aprendizajes financieros de la película “Golpe a Wall Street”, titulada "El Poder de los Centavos" en Hispanoamérica y “Dumb Money” en Estados Unidos. La película, estrenada en 2023, nos cuenta la historia real de la subida espectacular del precio de las acciones de GameStop (GME), una cadena de tiendas de videojuegos, consolas y productos electrónicos, en el mes de enero de 2021. Está basada en el libro “The Antisocial Network” de Ben Mezrich, publicado a los pocos meses de finalizar los hechos. El protagonista es Keith Gill (interpretado por Paul Dano), un analista financiero y youtuber que invirtió la mayor parte de sus ahorros comprando acciones de GameStop desde julio 2020, publicando dichas inversiones en su canal de Youtube y en el foro “WallStreetbets” de Reddit. Esta apuesta a largo por el valor iba en contra de fondos como Melvin Capital, liderado por Gabe Plotkin, que se habían puesto cortos en la acción. Con Theveritas ya grabé el episodio 81 del podcast sobre la película “Margin Call” y el episodio 72 sobre su trayectoria como inversor particular. Tiene el blog "Definitivamente quizá" en Rankia. La situación de pandemia, el auge de las redes sociales y la facilidad para invertir que proporcionaron brokers como RobinHood también se narra en la película y en nuestra charla.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for information about all your favorite fictional Universes. Everyone's favorite villainous character actor Giancarlo Esposito made waves by announcing he has been cast in an MCU film with the added caveat that it is not a role fans have speculated about. Actor and writer Paul Walter Hauser - who has been in the news a lot lately - is also joining the MCU in Matt Shakman's Fantastic Four movie in an unknown role. The casting news comes on the heels of Bob Iger's comments today about shrinking the volume of the MCU to three films and two television series per year. May the Fourth has come and gone, but with it Lucasfilm provided a full trailer for June's new live action series, The Acolyte. Fans of the franchise who enjoyed seeing The Phantom Menace back in theaters last weekend were also treated to an extended look at a scene from the first trailer featuring Carrie Ann Moss. James Gunn took to social media, rather than the sky, and debuted a first look at the Superman costume that will be donned by David Corenswet. Set against a Metropolis that looks to be in distress, Corenswet appears to be getting ready to go to work as the new Man of Steel. The baddest superheroes around will soon be back.  The Boys Season 4 trailer dropped this week showcasing a crossover with characters from Gen V. Late Gen V actor Chance Perdomo's character Andre Anderson will not be recast in that show's second season, according to a joint statement from the producers. A24 has secured the rights to produce Checkmate, a project centered on a book proposal by Ben Mezrich, the author whose books were adapted into films such The Social Network and Dumb Money. Checkmate will reteam Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone to direct and produce and will tackle a recent public chess cheating scandal between chess players Magnus Carlsen and Hans Niemann. Paul Walter Hauser is set to play Captain Ed in director Akiva Schaffer's untitled new Naked Gun film that Paramount Pictures plans to release July 18, 2025. Hauser will star opposite Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson. Anna Sawai, the breakout star of the hit FX series Shōgun, revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that she was forced to turn down an audition for the part of Katana in the 2016 film Suicide Squad because the company behind FAKY, the J-Pop girl group to which she then belonged, forbid it. The upcoming live action adaptation of Masters of the Universe finally has a release date of June 5, 2026. Bumblebee director Travis Knight will direct. Netflix announced the sixth and final season of Cobra Kai will consist of 15 episodes, with the season split into three, five-episode blocks. The first five episodes will premiere on July 18th. Kristen Stewart and Oscar Isaac are set to star in Flesh of the Gods, an 80's vampire thriller to be directed by Panos Cosmatos, the filmmaker best known for his hallucinatory 2018 horror movie Mandy. Wheel of Time and Gone Girl star Rosamund Pike has joined Lionsgate's Now You See Me 3, the upcoming installment in the magic heist franchise. Steve Carell is set to star opposite Tina Fey in the upcoming Netflix comedy series Four Seasons. The series is based on a 1981 film of the same name. A24 has picked up Onslaught, the upcoming horror action film from director Adam Wingard. Wingard is fresh off directing Godzilla x Kong and Warner Brothers hopes that following the filming of Onslaught, he will return to direct another chapter of the monsterverse. Hugh Jackman and Emmy winner Jodie Comer are set to star in The Death of Robin Hood, a dark reimagining of the legend of Robin Hood. A Quiet Place Day One director Michael Sarnoski will write and direct the feature. Ahmed Best who played Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars prequel films, will return to voice Darth Jar Jar, a Sith version of the character for an upcoming Lego Star Wars special titled Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, which will debut on Disney+ on September 13.

Adapt Deez, a brand new season of GateCrashers, is dedicated to appreciating media adaptations in all their many forms! From the classic book-to-movie adaptations to the many iterations associated and in-between, episodes of Adapt Deez will focus on a specific property and its (officially licensed) adaptations. Not simply a recounting of the differences and similarities between each adaptation, Adapt Deez aims to highlight the ways in which each iteration shines and how its individual media-specific properties—such as film scores, casting, and packaging—elevate the material and affect the way each work is received.  In today's episode, Amanda, Amir, and Jon discuss the Academy Award-winning movie The Social Network. The film—which received eight nominations at the 83rd Academy Awards, including for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for leading man Jesse Eisenberg, and won for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Film Editing—released in 2010 from Sony Pictures, and was directed by David Fincher. The screenplay was written by Aaron Sorkin, and was adapted from The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, a Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal, a work of narrative nonfiction by Ben Mezrich that was published in 2009 by Doubleday. The Social Network tells the story of the founding of social media service Facebook in 2004 by Harvard college students Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes, and Andrew McCollum. Focusing primarily on the relationship—and fall out—between Zuckerberg, played by Eisenberg, and Saverin, portrayed by Andrew Garfield in what would become his international breakthrough role, The Social Network spans several years from Facebook's inception to the depositions between Zuckerberg and Saverin, and Zuckerberg and Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (Armie Hammer/Josh Pence), twins and fellow Harvard students. If you think that sounds dry, just wait until you witness Amanda, Amir, and Jon's dramatic reenactments of iconic scenes—we guarantee you'll be just as riveted by this biographical drama as we were more than a decade ago.

In October 2022, Elon Musk barreled through Twitter's front doors carrying a kitchen sink, tweeting a message to his millions of followers: "Let that sink in." His takeover came with the promise of fundamental changes, but nothing could prepare the company for the turbulence to come-brutal, sometimes arbitrary mass firings, an exodus of advertisers and users, and a vicious internal battle for control. With unique access to Twitter employees and Musk's confidants, this is the astonishing story from all sides, revealing a wealth of new details, including: * The events and motivations that led Elon to take over the social media site at the center of our global conversation. * The chaos of the first few days after Elon and his "goons" crashed through Twitter's front door. * The fiasco of Elon's relaunched "Blue Check" system, and the near collapse of Twitter's revenue stream. * The series of events - darkly comic, self-inflicted, and sometimes frightening-that led to Elon's emotional and dangerous downward spiral. * And what, ultimately, Elon hoped to accomplish: Why the battle for Twitter isn't simply about money, of whim, or even political reach.

Ben Mezrich has sold over 10 million copies of his books.And, by the way, that's not even the impressive part. The impressive part is that he sells EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS BOOKS as a movie or TV show; in fact, if Hollywood isn't interested in the treatment, he doesn't even write the book.Mezrich has gotten into this position because of a chance encounter with some MIT students, which led to his writing Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions, which led to Kevin Spacey snapping up the film rights before the book was even out, which led to the book spending over 60 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.Then there was his book, The Accidental Billionaires, which David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin jumped on as Mezrich was writing the book and which, of course turned into the multi award-nominated movie The Social Network. (Mezrich is the only non-fiction author to have two adaptations open at #1 at the box office.)He's written numerous other books, including Bitcoin Billionaires and The Antisocial Network and is also a consulting producer on Billions. Oh, and his most recent book, The Midnight Ride, has an NFT component that already has over 3500 owners.So how does this happen? How does a former struggling novelist become Hollywood's go to guy pursued by designers who want to dress him for his book tours?
