Send us a textTexas is at war, but not with crime, poverty, or actual danger. Nope, Lt. Gov. Dan “Buzzkill” Patrick is busy trying to nuke hemp from orbit, calling regulated THC products “poisonous” without a single shred of evidence. Translation? He's either high on his own supply of bullshit or getting off kneecapping an $8 billion industry while 53,000 jobs circle the drain.We drag this political clown show through the mud and hand the mic to real business owners, like Hometown Hero's CEO, who slap down the lies with receipts, lab tests, and common goddamn sense. Sorry, Dan, weed with QR codes isn't exactly a cartel operation.Then we dive headfirst into a Black Mirror-esque fever dream where AI might start holding humanity hostage for battery life. If your toaster sends you a ransom note, don't say we didn't warn you.From there, we go full shock-and-awe on Ukraine's mind-blowing drone strike deep into Russian territory—some are calling it “Pearl Harbor 2.0,” but with Wi-Fi and a kill switch. War got a software update, and it's terrifyingly efficient.And in the “let's see how far we can bend human biology before it snaps” category: the Enhanced Games. Think Olympics, but everyone's juiced to the gills and no one gives a damn. Jesse Magnusson looks like he absorbed a bodybuilder and spit out an Adonis. It's legal doping and it might be the future of sports whether you like it or not.We roundhouse kick tradition right in the teeth by asking the real questions: Why can't football be a full-contact death match like NFL Blitz? What if basketball was just streetball with sanctioned violence? And should we finally relegate loser teams so they stop getting paid to suck?This episode is a Molotov cocktail of politics, war, AI dread, and sports on bath salts.

In this episode, we dive into Black Mirror Season 7, Episode 1 ("Common People") with writer and philosopher Emily Herring, who recently explored the show's themes of platform capitalism and cognitive exploitation in The New World. What does it mean to "subscribe" to your own mind, and how do concepts like enshittification, machinic enslavement, and time-debt shape our experience of autonomy? Along the way, we examine Henri Bergson's philosophy of memory and duration, questioning whether the qualitative dimensions of consciousness can survive under techno-capitalist regimes.Emily's article: https://www.thenewworld.co.uk/emily-herring-black-mirror-and-the-fight-to-keep-corporations-out-of-your-brain/Emily Herring's 'Herald of a Restless World': https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/emily-herring/herald-of-a-restless-world/9781541600942/Support the showVintagia Pre-Launch: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acidhorizon/vintagia-i-ching-oracle-for-psychogeographers-and-creatives Support the podcast:https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/ Join The Schizoanalysis Project: https://discord.gg/4WtaXG3QxnSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Revolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.com​Split Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

“It's like the Sam Kinison meets Bobcat Goldthwait of dogs…”   Bridging the gap between the thrash metal of the late 80's and early 90's and the tidal wave of groove metal that made landfall in the metal community during the early 90's (courtesy of Pantera), MACHINE HEAD came screaming out of the gate on August 9th, 1994, with their blisteringly crushing debut, BURN MY EYES.    Filled with brutally heavy riffs that occasionally blur the lines between thrash, groove, and even death metal, BURN MY EYES marked the continuing expansion of the next “next” wave of thrash and groove metal.    Discover the not-so-subtle ways that “Rod Roddy and Johnny Olson” have impacted this podcast, find out why “speaking in cursive” is not always helpful, and remember that not everybody gets to be “Charlie Chaplin”, even though you're already more than “halfway there” whenever you “solemnly swear”.    Realize that “Phil Dremel and Robb Frynn” go back a few years, prepare to experience “SepulPanThrera”, and behold the impact that “writing with 7's” can have on riffs when you JOIN US for the MACHINE HEAD debut that helped further the evolution of thrash and groove with BURN MY EYES.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182   Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok   Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can't be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast Show Notes: (00:01): “Turn down for what?” / “I can see why you'd be upset by that…sounds like you're angry…”/ #shadowing #shading / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised ***/ “I told him he had to learn some tunes…”/ “He takes his dog with him everywhere…it's like the Sam Kinison meets Bobcat Goldthwait of dogs…”/ “The black one and the big fat bitch…a fairy tale…”/ ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST!!!*** / #thisepisodesbeeroftheepisode #TropicalEsses 5%ABV #DayDrinkingBeer #TheVerdict / “It's not like the crazy sours…”/ “When you're reading the description…I got the whole #PriceIsRight thing going…”/ #RodRoddy #JohnnyOlsen / “That's a game show name right there…” / “There's 2 Price Is Right channels…there's 2 Family Feuds…”/ “I've decided he will be my personal director of music…”   (08:43): ***JOIN US on the Patreon at patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast ***/ #PatreonShoutOut / “We got a new one…”/ EMAIL US at metalnerdery@gmail.com / #KillerKarl I'M A METALHEAD, BITCH! & NOT MY FUCKIN' PROBLEM / “It's just so weird…” / ***LEAVE US A REVIEW WHEREVER YOU DOWNLOAD OUR PODCAST!!!*** / “His name is definitely NOT #StuckMojo…”/ #fivestarrating / VOICEMAIL US AT 980-666-8182!!! / “There was no life in that at all…”/ “Hey…”/ “Maybe that's why there was no life left in it…”/ ***CHECK US OUT ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA AT #YOUTUBE #TIKTOK #FACEBOOK #INSTAGRAM AT #metalnerderypodcast ***/ #SlayerOfTheEpisode / “Is that a disease?”/  ALTAR OF SACRIFICE (Reign In Blood – 1986) / “How dare you!” / “I feel better so much…”/ #RussellsReflectionsBrunchEdition / “It's pure MSG actually…” / “You've gotta grab both pieces…”/ #CGCustoms #customguitarpainting #newguitarbone    (24:51): #TheDocket / “They already know what the docket is…it's in the name of the show…”/ METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS:  MACHINE HEAD – BURN MY EYES / #Unatoned is the new #MachineHead album / “What if Metallica's entire catalog was mixed like Master of Puppets?” / “The 2 Loads were almost the same…”/ “To me, it doesn't sound like the first album…”/ UNBOUND (Unatoned – 2025) / “It was melodic, I was worried Bill wasn't gonna like it…”/ “Let's go back to 1994…”/ ***Go check out our Machine Head Inside The Metal episode from a few years back…*** / “Let's be real, after 1990, #Pantera influenced everybody…”/ DAVIDIAN / “Are those #flahns?” / “Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast!” / “BTW, Chris Kontos (who is the drummer on this album) is now the drummer for #Forbidden…”   (37:37): “I like the shot glasses…”/ OLD / “It's definitely 90's…”/ “Why does oldness have a darker connotation to it?” / “We tried to find some stairs and coat hangers…I guess we're paying for college…”/ A THOUSAND LIES / “Definitely a #Sepultura vibe and influence there…”/ Produced by Colin Richardson / “Slow…slooowww…slooooooowwwwwww…”/ “It went up and then it went down…”/ “Do you solemnly swear?

Episode 560: Rat Hustlers

Science Faction Podcast

Real Life Things kicked off with stories from Friday night's bonfire, where the nature of reality was hotly debated between toasted marshmallows. That conversation somehow spiraled into a serious (and slightly absurd) discussion about Noodles and Soba—Ben's son's pet rats—and the potential benefits of getting female rats fixed. Apparently, doing so can add about a year to their lifespan by preventing reproductive cancers, but the surgery's cost is a tough sell when you're in what Ben called “debt paydown mode.” Devon floated the idea of unscrupulous “rat hustlers” faking the procedure, which—frankly—feels like a dark Netflix documentary waiting to happen. From there, it was a short hop to a conversation about whether rats lay eggs (they don't), Jurassic Park's “life finds a way,” and then straight into tearing apart Gremlins logic. What even is “midnight,” anyway? Local time? Greenwich Mean? Galactic zenith? And why are we trusting a kid instead of the old shopkeeper? Gremlins may now officially live in the “science fantasy/biological fiction” corner of the canon. Saturday brought gaming with their friend Greg. They played Relic Blade, where Devon managed to escort a yak to safety despite Steven's attempts at sabotage. Greg used a clever trick involving a D20 and gravity to determine movement direction, which frankly should be in the rulebook. They also played Marvel Dice Throne, where Devon's Wolverine got obliterated almost immediately thanks to poor positioning and cruel dice. Then came Living Well, a minimalist dice game with retro 70s-style art and some satisfying ability upgrades. Plans to play Arcs got shelved after a medical emergency—Nicole was hit hard by the heat and ended up needing CPR at the hospital (despite having a pulse and breathing, which… yeah, it was a weird night). She's recovering now. Future or Now TV-wise, the gang wrapped up Season 4 of Love, Death & Robots—with highlights including a talking cat, an occult bomber mission, and gang warfare against colossal babies. Over on Amazon Prime, they watched the Secret Level take on Pac-Man, which was surprisingly grim and humanoid-heavy. Ben and his son also dove into Scott Pilgrim territory, rewatching the movie and starting Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, which quickly turns into a clever alternate universe story that's fun, stylish, and charming enough to inspire a trip through the graphic novels. Ben gave a thumbs-up to the newest season of Black Mirror, calling one episode a bit conceptually broken but championing another as a "new Callister." Book Club In Book Club, the crew dug into “Liking What You See: A Documentary” by Ted Chiang, from Stories of Your Life and Others. Framed as a mockumentary, the story centers on Caliagnosia—a reversible condition that disables facial beauty perception. The ethical and social ramifications are explored through interviews and propaganda, making the story feel eerily real. It raises questions about freedom, superficiality, advertising, and the influence of unseen tech on our minds. Tamara's personal journey through switching Cali off and on again added a human element to the philosophical questions. Everyone agreed: it was a banger of a story. Next up for Book Club: the first three chapters of A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers. Get reading!

In Episode 8 of Quite Frankly, host Frankie Val is joined by Matt Roeske of Cultivate Elevate for an eye-opening conversation that bridges ancient wisdom and cutting-edge energy science. Roeske breaks down how electromagnetic frequencies, toxic food systems, and heavy metals have been weaponized against human health, and how natural solutions like shilajit, grounding, and orgone energy offer real alternatives. The discussion ventures into the forgotten technologies of antiquity, including pyramids, sound healing, and global energy grids, connecting them to modern-day suppression by globalist interests. Frankie and Matt explore how biofield energy, structured water, and copper tools can be used to combat EMF damage, balance hormones, and reconnect the body to its natural rhythms. From DNA resonance to weather modification, they expose how spiritual warfare is waged on the physical plane, and why reclaiming sovereignty begins with healing yourself. Packed with practical insights and deep philosophical reflection, this episode challenges listeners to rethink wellness, history, and the war on consciousness. If you've ever felt like your frequency was under attack, this conversation might be the shield, and signal, you've been waiting for.

Kathrine Nero Chances are within the last few days you've seen an image or a video you weren't quite sure was real. Is it artificial intelligence? A deepfake? Asking those questions is the first step. We've entered the era of synthetic truth, where deepfakes and AI-generated content are muddying the waters between fact and fiction. And while this may sound like the plot of a Black Mirror episode, it's a very real, very current problem. The question now is: Can journalism — especially local journalism — keep up? What Is a Deepfake, anyway? Let's back up. A deepfake is video or audio that has been digitally manipulated to make someone appear to say or do something they didn't. Thanks to powerful AI tools, creating these fakes no longer requires Hollywood-level tech or expertise. Anyone with the right app and enough motivation can generate a convincing fake in minutes. In January 2024, a deepfake robocall impersonating Joe Biden made national news. It urged voters in New Hampshire to “stay home” from the primary. The voice sounded like him. The timing was perfect. The goal? Suppress votes through confusion. That wasn't a fringe stunt. It was a glimpse of what's coming. Now imagine that kind of tactic at a local level — a fake video of aCincinnati mayoral candidate making a controversial statement days before an election. Or a doctored news clip suggesting a city council member said something offensive. Without careful scrutiny and fast correction, damage like that could spread before anyone knows it's fake. Journalism vs. Generative Chaos Here's the good news: Journalists are adapting. Some are learning forensic media skills, using tools to spot the tiny glitches and metadata trails that expose a deepfake. Others are working with AI in a responsible way, using it to transcribe meetings faster or analyze public records more efficiently, so they can spend more time investigating. But the real power lies in journalistic skepticism. The best reporters question everything. They verify, re-verify, and then explain what they've found in clear, plain language. This is especially true for local journalists, who know their communities and can spot when something doesn't add up. They're the ones who know how a council member speaks, or whether a certain policy proposal sounds like something a candidate would say. That context is everything. The Role of the Public: Don't Just Consume — Think But this isn't just the responsibility of journalists alone. Healthy skepticism can stop misinformation from spreading, and that's on all of us. As traditional media has morphed into social media, our consumption can't be blind any more. We need to ask questions and verify if something doesn't quite feel right. Bottom line: we have to take responsibility as consumers of information. Don't assume a video is real because it looks real. Don't trust a screenshot just because it came from a friend. Do you know where they got it? Is it being reported anywhere else? If not, why? Journalists can't fight this alone. Democracy, after all, depends on a well-informed public. We have the tools right there in the palm of our hand. The very device that brings us sometimes questionable information is also the solution to figuring out if that information is truthful. And if we don't support reporters — by reading, subscribing, sharing, and holding them accountable — the deepfakes will win. Not because they're perfect. But because we stopped asking whether they were real in the first place. So the next time you see something shocking, ask, “Has anyone credible reported this?” If not, stop before you share. The truth - and our democracy - might just depend on it.

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of hosting a panel at UTA for a screening of ANDOR - the Star Wars spinoff series from creator Tony Gilroy. It was there that I met today's guest, executive producer, Sanne Wohlenberg. Check that out here: https://youtu.be/mGe1Ec3nhv8 Sanne is a German-born television producer working primarily in the United Kingdom. After working on multiple episodes of the critically acclaimed series BLACK MIRROR, she went on to win an Emmy Award in 2019 for Outstanding Limited Series as the producer of CHERNOBYL, followed by a Producers Guild of America nomination for The David L. Wolper Award for Outstanding Producer of a Limited Series the following year. In 2022, Sanna joined ANDOR as a non-writing EP and lucky for us, helped breathe fresh new life into the franchise. During our conversation, Sanne and I discussed pivoting from law to entertainment, choosing talent over credits, and why you don't have to be a STAR WARS fanatic to fall into the target audience for ANDOR.

57 – Doomwatch: Vintage BBC Sci-Fi by Gerry Davis, Kit Pedler & Terence Dudley

General Witchfinders

This time we watched Tomorrow, the Rat — Episode 4 from Series 1 of Doomwatch, first broadcast 2 March 1970 and written by Terence Dudley. That's four years before James Herbert published The Rats (which we covered in episode 4). It's highly likely he was inspired by this vintage BBC sci-fi thriller—pen in hand, watching Doomwatch unfold.Doomwatch was a vintage BBC science fiction series that aired from 1970 to 1972. A prime example of British sci-fi, it followed a government scientific agency led by Dr Spencer Quist (John Paul) investigating futuristic environmental and technological threats. Think of it as classic BBC sci-fi with serious Black Mirror energy.The show was created by Doctor Who masterminds Gerry Davis and Kit Pedler—the very same duo who invented the Cybermen. Davis had been a Doctor Who story editor; Pedler served as scientific adviser. Their fascination with the dangers of science run amok became the foundation of Doomwatch, this cult BBC science fiction drama.Series 1 and 2 each had thirteen episodes; Series 3 had twelve (though one, Sex and Violence, was never broadcast). The BBC got cold feet, possibly due to real execution footage and unflattering portrayals of public figures like Mary Whitehouse and Cliff Richard.As with far too much vintage BBC content, parts of Doomwatch are missing—wiped or taped over. At its peak, the show pulled in over 13 million viewers, cementing its place in classic British sci-fi history.Dr Quist was a Nobel-winning physicist haunted by his involvement in the Manhattan Project. (Yes, he appears in Oppenheimer.) John Paul, who played him, was a familiar face on British television: I, Claudius, Triangle, The Avengers, The New Avengers—proper BBC veteran.Toby Wren, played by Robert Powell (who we talked about in episode 46, The Survivor), was a key figure in Series 1. He met a legendary end in the finale, Survival Code. Powell asked to go out with a bang—literally. The BBC received more letters about his on-screen death than any issue since World War II.This episode, Tomorrow, the Rat, was written by Terence Dudley—then the producer of Doomwatch. Dudley directed three episodes and went on to work extensively in Doctor Who, including directing Meglos (1980), and writing Four to Doomsday, Black Orchid, and The King's Demons. He also wrote Target novelisations and K-9 and Company. Classic vintage BBC sci-fi pedigree.Simon Oates plays Dr John Ridge—you may remember him from Beasts (The Dummy episode, which we reviewed in 44a). He also played Steed in the stage version of The Avengers.Penelope Lee appears as Dr Mary Bryant. She once auditioned to play Barbara, the Doctor's original companion. She later voiced Lyn Driver in The Plague Dogs (a British animation not for the faint-hearted) and a computer in Doctor Who: Revelation of the Daleks. She also featured in Richard Donner's Superman as the Ninth Elder. Peak British sci-fi credentials.Hamilton Dyce turns up as the Minister. You might recognise him as Major General Scobie in Doctor Who: Spearhead from Space—another vintage BBC sci-fi staple.And no, before you ask, none of this cast ever turned up in Boon.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Add some behaviorally troubled children imagining bloodthirsty lions into the mix, and you have the setup for Ray Bradbury's The Veldt. In a dystopian tale that would make an excellent episode of Black Mirror, Bradbury explores the pitfalls of tech that robs humanity of purpose.

The boys head to Japan this week to discuss Akira Kurosawa's “Yojimbo”. Starring Toshiro Mifune, the film is considered one of the most influential movies of all time. It's so influential that an entire series of westerns ripped it off so good they couldn't be released in the US for years due to threats of lawsuits. Anyway, this film is awesome, but did the boys think it stands up to the other Kurosawa greats? Grab a beer and tune in!  Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

In this episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, we're serving up a buffet of dystopia with a side of snark. First, Kuwait has finally realized crypto bros are an energy drain, not a feature. Celsius Network's founder gets 12 years for running a “safe investment” Ponzi scheme. And in Lopez v. Apple, we find yet another reason to question Cupertino's moral compass.Then it's time for a trip through the tech trash fire. DoorDash gobbles up Deliveroo, proving there's no such thing as too many overpriced salads. Google wants your kids to befriend Gemini—because what could go wrong giving tweens supervised AI access? Tesla's “Robotaxi” trademark gets the boot for being as generic as Elon's pickup lines. Meanwhile, Grok strips in public, deepfake porn sites get the axe, and dating app “Raw” rawdogs user data like it's the early 2000s internet. We also hit peak Black Mirror with brain-typed tweets, AI-resurrected relatives, and crypto kidnappers playing real-life GTA.On Media Candy, the streaming overlords dump trailers like Halloween candy. Squid Game is back to traumatize you, Star Trek: Lower Decks keeps boldly going where no animated series should, and The Old Guard 2 teases a Theron-vs-Thurman sword fight. Plus, Apple's UX team found the “enhance” button, Netflix wants to be helpful (lol), and Google dreams of becoming a Hollywood darling. Over in Apps & Doodads, Apple wants to stagger iPhone drops, Disney sells you a $3,000 droid with zero sass, and Smart Flowerpots are now a thing because apparently, you can't be trusted to water your plant.And finally, it's time for The Dark Side with Dave, where Bittner brings us malware, click tracks, fake vocals, and the shocking truth about KISS's lipsync disaster in Antwerp. We also dip into ILM's jaw-dropping legacy, Star Wars' shady back alleys, and a new Disneyland in Abu Dhabi, because nothing says “happiest place on Earth” like 120°F desert heat.
