Podcasts about Black Flag

What happens when we slow down, step outside the usual narratives, and simply ask better questions? In today's episode of Noggin Notes, we sit down with Philip O'Reilly, writer and creator of Hoist the Black Flag, for a wide-ranging conversation exploring the ideas, assumptions, and cultural forces that shape the way we understand ourselves and the world around us. Without being confined to a single topic, Philip brings a curious and questioning perspective to a conversation that moves across culture, society, freedom, human behaviour, personal responsibility, and the stories we tell ourselves. We explore what happens when we challenge conventional thinking, examine the assumptions behind our beliefs, and become more willing to sit with complexity rather than reaching for easy answers. This is ultimately a conversation about curiosity—the willingness to question, listen, disagree, and keep thinking. Because sometimes the most interesting conversations are the ones that don't start with all the answers.

It's Friday on The Rizzuto Show, which means this comedy podcast is landing the plane with music nostalgia, celebrity chaos and enough questionable information to ruin several perfectly good movies.First, Rizz gets ambushed by his own shuffle when a Rollins Band song he hadn't heard in roughly 25 years suddenly comes back from the dead. That launches the crew into Henry Rollins memories, MTV, Beavis and Butt-Head, Black Flag, Lollapalooza and the fascinating contradiction that is Henry Rollins: an inspirational motivational speaker who always looks like he's about three seconds away from yelling at a parking meter.Some of the crew remembers the song. Some absolutely do not. Rizz insists everybody needs to listen to it. Rafe now apparently has new music for the closet he cries in. Great start.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where Foo Fighters joining AC/DC in St. Louis continues to be enormous news. Dave Grohl explains just how much AC/DC influenced him, while everyone tries to figure out what happened to The Pretty Reckless and whether the lineup change was designed to give ticket sales another shot of adrenaline.Either way, September 8 is shaping up to be massive.Unfortunately, so is the parking nightmare.From there, celebrity news takes the wheel and immediately drives directly into a ditch. The upcoming Michael Jackson biopic sequel is expected to tackle the controversial later years of his life. The ongoing Tupac Shakur murder case raises new questions about alleged connections to Sean “Diddy” Combs. Then Biggie's family enters an estate fight after changes were reportedly made to his mother's will shortly before her death.Nothing brings a family together quite like hundreds of millions of dollars.We also get new music releases, Dr. Phil lawsuit news and one of the uglier family betrayals in comedy history. Dane Cook's documentary revisits his rise to superstardom and the revelation that his own brother, who handled his finances, embezzled roughly $12 million.Imagine becoming one of the biggest comedians in America and still discovering the most expensive heckler was sitting at Thanksgiving dinner.The entertainment rundown keeps rolling as Yellowjackets heads toward its final season and Dave Bautista takes over as Kratos in Amazon's God of War. The original actor had already gotten himself ridiculously ripped for the role before suffering a torn bicep and losing the job, which is one of those stories that makes your bad week seem slightly more manageable.Then Moon performs an important public service by warning everybody away from a movie he describes, with tremendous critical nuance, as a total piece of crap.You're welcome, America.And because apparently we haven't damaged enough childhood memories, Lern brings in a list of famous movie and TV couples who reportedly hated each other while working together. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey had issues before Dirty Dancing. Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn clashed on Four Christmases. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams reportedly needed a screaming match while making The Notebook before eventually dating in real life. Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte? Apparently not exchanging Christmas cards.Claire Danes wasn't thrilled with Leonardo DiCaprio's behavior on Romeo + Juliet, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny went through rough stretches on The X-Files, and Sarah Silverman had her own memorable confrontation with Michael Richards on Seinfeld.Romance is alive, everybody.We finish with celebrity birthdays before the Friday tradition manages to make things uncomfortable one last time, because this comedy podcast refuses to simply arrive at the weekend like a normal program.It's forgotten music, rock news, celebrity gossip, Hollywood feuds, ridiculous show-business money, St. Louis entertainment and enough sarcastic humor to make HR quietly close the browser tab. In other words, another perfectly normal episode of your favorite comedy podcast.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There is a scene in the 1999 documentary Beyond the Mat where Dennis Stamp tells Terry Funk why he's not going to be at his retirement show: "Because I'm not booked." Dennis would end up appearing on the show, but "I'm not booked" became a classic line from the movie. In music, there are plenty of songs that are "not booked," so to speak, in that they don't make the original tracklist for the album. They might end up appearing on B-sides, reissues, deluxe editions, compilation albums, or box sets. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Kevin Hare (Voices of Wrestling, 185 Miles South) play a selection of songs that didn't get booked. Artists played include Alkaline Trio, Faces, Chamillionaire, Oasis, Black Flag, The KLF, The Undertones, and many more. Grab the weights and jump on the trampoline, because you never know when the next booking will come.Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrewListen to Kevin on the 185 Miles South podcast: 185milessouth.comAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/DonateAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Palworld just did something almost no Early Access game manages — it actually finished. Roughly a quarter of Early Access games on Steam ever reach a full release, and Pocketpair's 60-person team crossed the line with a doubled map, a reworked progression system, and no price increase for existing owners. We dig into why the survival-crafting, creature-collecting, base-automation mashup works when it shouldn't, and whether 1.0 is a "come back" moment or a "start fresh" commitment that busy players should think twice about. Then it's Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, where the critics and the players are pointing in opposite directions. Reviews landed lukewarm while it sold two million copies in a day and set a franchise record for concurrent players on Steam. We make the case that the "inessential remake" take misses what's actually great here: a vast Caribbean built out of bite-sized islands packed with Legendary Ships, Mayan Stelae, caves, and underwater wrecks — a structure that respects a player working with 45-minute windows instead of full weekends.  Community developer Zac joins us to talk about Garden College, the top-down RPG he's building, and what running and participating in game jams has taught him that solo project work never could. And we return to Sony's disc decision from a completely different angle — not the ownership debate we already had, but the dependency stack underneath it. PSN's July outage was reportedly tied to the same AWS infrastructure that delayed patient care and grounded travelers last October. Halo buyers who paid extra for early access couldn't launch a single-player campaign because login servers were overloaded. One man lost 25 years of purchased games to a hack and only got them back after his post went viral. The through line: how many companies have to be having a good day for you to play something you already paid for?

What happens when an ordinary New Bedford whaling voyage turns into one of the most extraordinary survival stories in American maritime history? In this episode of The Photo Detective, I talk with bestselling maritime historian Eric Jay Dolin, author of The Wreck of the Mentor. Dolin has written more than seventeen acclaimed books on maritime history, environmental policy, pirates, privateers, hurricanes, and the American whaling industry, including Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America and A Furious Sky.We explore the tragic 1834 wreck of the Mentor, whose crew became stranded for years on the islands of Palau after their ship struck a reef. Erick shares how firsthand survivor accounts, newly digitized archival sources, and years of historical research allowed him to reconstruct this remarkable story of endurance, cultural encounters, and rescue. Along the way, we discuss why these stories matter to genealogists and family historians seeking to understand the lives—and sometimes mysterious disappearances—of their seafaring ancestors.Related Episodes:Episode 266: Military Images Magazine's Ron Coddington shares the stories behind Civil War PhotosEpisode 240: The Hidden Stories of Tattooing: Dr. Matt Lodder on Tattoos in Photography and SocietyLinks:Sign up for my newsletter.Watch my YouTube Channel.Like the Photo Detective Facebook Page so you get notified of my Facebook Live videos.Need help preserving your photos?

A new report from a trusted gaming industry analyst projects PlayStation 6 to launch in 2028 and sell only four million units in its first calendar year on the market. When you consider that even PS3 managed to sell three and a half million units in a mere four months, well, it might be a tough row to hoe. And when you take into account that this analysis assumes PS6 will sell for between $600 and $800, Sony may be in for a rude awakening indeed. We discuss. Then again, other analysis paints a far rosier picture, at least as far as Grand Theft Auto VI pre-sales are concerned, where Sony will be raking it in by the many hundreds of millions in royalties alone. Other news this week includes EA's reversal on its controversial College Football 27 microtransactions, the dominance of Call of Duty: Black Ops I and II's PSN release, the delay of the upcoming first party fight stick FlexStrike, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is PlayStation in dire need of a spokesperson? Does Crunchyroll's new approach with its subscription portend a dicey future for PSN? Have we ever lent a physical game to a friend (or someone else) and never received it back? Could Episode 420 mean throwing all caution to the wind?

David Markey is a resilient and resourceful filmmaker who has sustained a truly independent career in the shadow of Hollywood and against the backdrop of corporate America for over four decades. As a self-taught filmmaker and musician, Markey brings together underground music, experimental cinema and contemporary culture in a direct and insightful way. His unique take on pop culture and sometimes dark wit are also present throughout his work, the majority of which has been self-funded and distributed.His films include the acclaimed documentary "1991: The Year Punk Broke" (1992) and the Los Angeles Punk Super-8 cult classics "The Slog Movie" (1982), "Desperate Teenage Lovedolls" (1984), and the sequel "Lovedolls Superstar" (1986) which were all produced before he was of legal age. His international Film Festival favorite "The Reinactors" (2008) had him traveling the world exhibiting his film, inclusion in film festivals in Argentina, England, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Australia, and China. 2012 saw the release of his feature length documentary on Los Angeles' long running punk band, Circle Jerks entitled "My Career As A Jerk" and his first published book "We Got Power: (Hardcore Punk Scenes From 1980's Southern California)."Markey's body of work is also historically significant, representing a unique record of the punk scene in Southern California. Markey has worked with Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Redd Kross, The Ramones, Black Flag, Meat Puppets and artist Raymond Pettibon to name a few. Markey's indefatigable DIY aesthetic continues to drive him, as well as inspire a whole new generation of filmmakers, musicians and artists. His latest documentary is "The Secret Lives Of Bill Bartell" (2025), which tells the tale of a shadowy figure from the punk world, who would go on to have a lasting influence on pop culture of the 20th and 21st Century.

This episode kicks off with a Kelly fact about one of America's strangest historical figures...

So we finally have a week that isn't dominated by bad news. But don't get me wrong, it's still there. From more layoffs to more physical media options being lost to the expectations that our RAM pricing issues will only get worse. But let's focus on the good for a bit at least. Summer Games Done Quick raised over TWO MILLION dollars for charity and that's just an absolutely wonderful thing to share. I'm not sure where it stands among previous efforts but it doesn't matter. Anything raised when there was none before is always a good thing. In the “captain obvious” segment of the news we heard that analysts predict a slump in console sales on the horizon. Given the fact console prices keep increasing this didn't really take a particularly strong set of mind powers to foresee. We again state, as we have for a while now, the best time to buy was yesterday. The second best time is today. This advice will now continue to be the case until sometime in 2028 or further. And Ubisoft made the news but not for good reason as there have been more layoffs after the VERY successful launch of the Black Flag remake. They still have not yet released Splinter Cell. Ubisoft, it's been 4,717 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 8,527 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

V nejnovějším Questu se Jarda, Lukáš a Šárka vracejí ke hře, o níž mnozí nejspíš ani netušili, že si ji chtějí zahrát znovu. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag se po třinácti letech dočkal přepracované verze s podtitulem Resynced, která znovu otevírá stavidla do pirátského Karibiku. A přestože se od vydání originálu herní svět v lecčems výrazně proměnil, v některých aspektech funguje stejně dobře jako tehdy.

Vi tok ei ukes pause men det var fordi vi seilte på bøljan blå! Nå er vi tilbake fra tokt og kan snakke om Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, remaken av 2013-spillet som mange (inkludert vi) er gl… Les mer

Als 2013 das Original erschien, war es für viele das beste Assassins Creed seit dem 2. Teil mit Ezio. Auch ich habe so empfunden. Die Geschichte war gut, und das Piratensetting war eine tolle Idee. Und nach wie vor ist für mich Black Flag das beste Piratenspiel. Selbst Ubis eigenes Skull & Bones hat es nicht überholen können. Nur einen Koop-Multiplayer habe ich vermisst, seit ich in Sea of Thieves mit Sebastian die Meere unsicher gemacht habe. Nun, den Koop Multiplayer gibt es leider noch immer nicht in Black Flag, aber dafür wurde die Singleplayer Kampagne wunderbar aufgearbeitet. Black Flag Resynced ist keine billige HD Konvertierung sondern strahlt dank Anvil Engine in neuem Glanz. Man merkt, dass das Spiel insgesamt modernisiert wurde, auch Inhaltlich. So muss es sein wenn man ein älteres Spiel neu auf den Markt gibt. Es macht einfach Spaß, wieder in Edwards Welt einzutauchen. Auch wenn man das Spiel vor 13 Jahren gespielt hat, so bietet es einiges Neues und kann dadurch auch wieder überzeugen. Fans des Originals, von Open Worlds und Piratensettings kommen hier deshalb gleichermaßen auf ihre Kosten.

Black Flag Resynced just became the biggest Assassin's Creed launch in history — and it's a remake of a 13-year-old game with mixed Steam reviews. The boys break down the day-one microtransaction backlash, whether the remake gold rush is good for gaming, and which classics deserve the full ground-up treatment next. Then it gets heavier: Microsoft's July layoff wave hit Bethesda and ZeniMax hard, and Raz makes the case that AI is a top-three reason why. Plus the office memorial HR forced down, 14 layers of management, and why Elder Scrolls 6 should have shipped a decade ago. Also on the docket: Doom: The Dark Ages – Revelations DLC and its Metroidvania-inspired level design, Stop Killing Games taking Ls in the EU and California (and the list of "dying" games nobody has ever heard of), the full corrected rundown of Tarkov's Kord Breach Season 1 modifiers, and the BO2 remaster shipping with bugs that were patched a decade ago. One host thinks the ownership question matters. The other thinks the market already answered it. You know how this goes. 0:00 - Intro 3:48 - Black Flag Resynced: biggest AC launch ever 12:35 - The day-one microtransaction backlash 24:29 - Remakes are the new meta 34:19 - Doom: The Dark Ages – Revelations DLC 42:29 - Bethesda layoffs 43:35 - Did AI cause the layoffs? 47:50 - The office memorial HR took down 53:43 - Where the hell is Elder Scrolls 6? 1:01:12 - AAA studios don't take risks anymore 1:07:45 - Stop Killing Games takes two Ls 1:10:01 - Roasting the "games being killed" list 1:16:47 - Our AI's $70 take gets destroyed 1:18:51 - Brazil is bigger than Australia?? 1:20:52 - Gold injections & ayahuasca (don't) 1:26:43 - Tarkov Kord Breach: what we got wrong 1:40:28 - BO2 remaster: same bugs, 12 years later 1:41:49 - Jake's Tarkov check-in 1:45:38 - Announcements & Patreon _Note: timestamps may be slightly misaligned on podcast apps (but not on YouTube) due to dynamic ads._ The podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts, and ad-free & early access versions - as well as bonus episodes - are available to all of our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thedropshot) supporters.

Captain Speckobst und "Greybeard" Manu stechen in See im Remake zum wohl beliebtesten Assassin's Creed. Als "Resynced"-Version wurde Black Flag von Grund auf neu an moderne Seh- und Spielgewohnheiten angepasst. Die beiden Landratten haben sich das Remake intensiv vorab angeschaut und verraten euch im Cast, ob Ubisoft mehr gemacht hat als nur Karibik-Nostalgie in hübsch neu zu verpacken. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag kehrt als "Resynced"-Remake in prachtvoller Next-Gen-Grafik zurück und lässt unsere geliebte Piratenfantasie um Edward Kenway endlich wieder aufleben! Doch hinter der wunderschönen Karibik-Fassade und den coolen spielerischen Neuerungen versteckt sich ein gewaltiger Haken, denn durch eine unausgegorene Balance ist das Abenteuer selbst auf dem höchsten Schwierigkeitsgrad viel zu leicht. Wir klären im großen Review-Talk, ob die Neuauflage trotzdem überzeugt und für wen sich Resynced lohnt. Alle Links zum GameStar Podcast und unseren Werbepartnern: https://linktr.ee/gamestarpodcast

And what about women asking men to marry them? Is this okay? The text line blows up in response, and not entirely in the direction you might suppose.

Baxie talks to the legendary Kira Roessler! From 1983 to 1985 Kira found herself touring with Black Flag (arguably one of the most important hardcore bands in history). During that time, Kira recorded three albums, three EPs, and toured relentlessly with Black Flag. Simultaneously she was also busy studying for a degree in applied engineering from UCLA. Kira also recorded several albums under the name DOS with her then husband Mike Watt from The Minutemen. But that's not the end of it. Kira has also had a very successful career in film—winning an Oscar in sound editing for Mad Max: Fury Road. She's also won two Emmy awards for her work on the John Adams miniseries and for Game of Thrones. Kira is about to release her second solo album “Enigma” on July 10th. The record was produced by her brother Paul Roessler (formerly of The Screamers and 45 Grave). Just an amazing conversation with one of the most important women in punk rock!

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got an absolute legend of the punk rock world in conversation with one of his band's biggest fans—who also happens to play bass in one of the world's most famous rock bands. It's Joe Keithley and Duff McKagan. Joe Keithley has been known for the vast majority of his life as Joey Shithead, singer and guitarist for the band D.O.A., which is coming up on its 50th year of existence. D.O.A. are absolute legends that have always existed on the margins—I don't think they'd have it any other way—and who influenced and crossed paths with countless bands over the years. They're credited with bringing the word “hardcore” into the punk lexicon with their album Hardcore ‘81, and guys like Billie Joe Armstrong and Kurt Cobain were vocal fans. Politics and activism have always been part of D.O.A.'s DNA, so it's no surprise that Keithley decided to run for office in his native Burnaby, Canada. It was a surprise, even to him, that he actually won, and he's been representing his area for nearly eight years. There's a new documentary out now called Something Better Change that covers his life both as a musician and a politician, and it's definitely worth your time. It even comes as a DVD extra in a new double-LP greatest hits collection called Take on the Tyrants: The Very Best of Punk Rock's Most Enduring Band. Check out the trailer for the doc right here. Duff McKagan is a lifelong D.O.A. fan; as you'll hear in this chat, he was onto them super early, including attending a legendary hardcore festival in Canada. McKagan probably needs no introduction here: He's the longtime bassist and founding member of Guns N' Roses, with whom he still tours—he Zooms into this chat having just landed in Poland for some gigs. But McKagan's fascinating career and history goes well beyond GnR; he was part of the Seattle punk scene starting as a teen, and he's been a member of more bands, big and small, than you can count. He's also an accomplished writer whose autobiography is well worth a read and he's got a string of solo albums and collaborations. He's always busy, and he clearly loves music, as you'll hear in this chat. In addition to talking about his love for D.O.A., McKagan talks with Keithley here about the good old days of punk rock, diving deep on Black Flag in particular. They also chat about Keithley's political career and his new venture as the face of a Canadian guitar company.
