Podcasts about Blitzer

In this episode of The Deal, Alex Rodriguez and Jason Kelly talk with David Blitzer, Blackstone’s chairman and the co-founder of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, about how his teams use data and analytics to improve fan experience. In this conversation, which was taped in front of an audience at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, Blitzer tells the hosts how a “failed athlete” came to be the first person to own teams in all five major American sports leagues, what he’s doing to invest in the “massively fragmented” world of youth sports and why having a favorite sports team is like having a favorite child.

Nirgendwo auf der Welt fragt man sich wohl so oft "Ist das noch lustig?" wie in Deutschland. Das liegt wohl an der Geschichte, wie auch der Wissenschaft des Landes - und einem Blitzer. Eine Glosse von Severin Groebner.

Ein Fake-Blitzer macht im Landkreis Tuttlingen Schlagzeilen. Die täuschend echt aussehende Attrappe steht am Ortsrand auf einem Firmengelände. Im Inneren hat sie statt einer Kamera - ein Gurkenglas. Und trotzdem funktionierts: Autofahrer, die da gerne mal mit Karacho vorbeirauschen, gehen vom Gas, wenn sie die Säule sehen. Ist das jetzt die Lösung aller Raser-Probleme - wenn einen zu schnelle Autos nerven, stellt man einfach einen Blitzer auf sein Grundstück? Ganz so einfach ist es nicht, sagt Paul Raboldt aus der SWR-Rechtsredaktion. "Das kann strafrechtliche Konsequenzen haben". Im Gespräch mit SWR Aktuell-Moderator Bernhard Seiler erklärt der Rechtsexperte, warum das so ist. Und klärt die Frage, ob es erlaubt ist, selbstgebastelte Verkehrsschilder, zum Beispiel "Freiwillig Tempo 30", privat aufzustellen.

WBS.LEGAL hilft euch: https://wbs.law/verkehrsrecht KI macht immer weiter Fortschritte und integriert sich mehr und mehr in unseren Alltag. Wie jetzt bekannt wurde, wird zukünftig auch künstliche Intelligenz bei Blitzern angewendet. Und zwar nicht, um beispielsweise Geschwindigkeitsverstöße genauer zu berechnen. Sondern für Handy-Verstöße. Verkehrssünder, die mit Smartphone am Ohr fahren, könnten bald durch neue KI-Blitzer erwischt werden. Allerdings gibt es für die Pläne auch viel Kritik, insbesondere hinsichtlich Datenschutz-bedenken. Sind diese neuen Handy-Blitzer wirklich legal und müssen Verkehrssünder bald tief in die Tasche greifen?

Dicke Luft im Podcast-Bunker! Moser & Schelker hauen sich gegenseitig die Brennstäbe um die Ohren, bei einem Streit zum Thema Atomenergie. Kollateralschaden erleiden auch Nachbarskatzen, Segway Bussenschreiber, Blitzer und Kampfstiefel.

In Essen ist die dritte Bombe des Jahres gefunden worden. 6.500 Menschen mussten ihre Wohnungen verlassen. In unserer Stadt hat es im letzten Jahr wieder öfter gekracht, das zeigt die Unfallstatistik der Polizei. Drei Unfälle waren besonders tragisch.

CNN's Wolf Blitzer is best known as one of the most recognizable faces in broadcast journalism, but did you know he's also a Hollywood regular? Over the years, Blitzer has made cameo appearances in some of the biggest blockbuster films, always playing himself—a trusted news anchor bringing credibility to the big screen.

His presence adds an air of authenticity to the film's political and media-driven themes. The Brink (2015) (TV Series)Though not a film, Blitzer's guest appearance in HBO's satirical political series starring Jack Black and Tim Robbins was another nod to his pop culture presence. The Campaign (2012)In this political comedy starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis, Blitzer plays a key role in delivering the latest on the outrageous congressional race, bringing his signature news delivery to the film's hilarious political antics.Blitzer's ability to seamlessly transition from real-world reporting to fictional storytelling makes him a unique fixture in Hollywood.

Eigentlich sollte diese Episode vor allem für Menschen gemacht werden, die voller Wissbegierde und Lerngeilheit sind. Endlich sollte der gute, alte Eulsche Bildungsauftrag wieder erfüllt werden. Und eigentlich sollte dafür auch der perfekte Gast voller Lerninhaltevermittlungspotential kommen. Die gute Nachricht: Der Gast ist gekommen. Und es ist niemand geringeres als Klaas Heufer-Umlauf himself (von Joko & Klaas). Die noch gütere Nachricht: Es wurde einfach über alles geplauscht, geschwelgt und gekichert, was vor die Sprachflinte kam. Wie haben sich die drei Transmitter und Klaas eigentlich kennengelernt? Wie oft hat Frank Klaas eigentlich verkabelt? Wofür taugt Applaus? Wer schämt sich in dieser Runde am meisten und wofür? Und ist tatsächlich damals jemand während der Aufzeichnung der TV-Show “Glücksrad”im Publikum verschieden? Inhaltlich ist diese Folge über alles andere erhaben. *** Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Vorher müssen zwar noch andere wichtige Fragen geklärt werden, wie z.B. “Ist Frank ein Vampir”, “Auf welche Uniformen steht Basti” und “Was ist Timing-Pech”, aber dann knallt es richtig im “True Crime Oppossum”-Gebälk.

Die Bündner Polizei soll künftig sagen, wo geblitzt wird. Wie im Kanton St. Gallen soll vor Blitzern gewarnt werden. Diese Forderung kommt aus dem Kantonsparlament. Das Thema sorgt immer wieder für Diskussionen und beschäftigt nun auch die Bündner Regierung. Weiter in der Sendung: · Biathlon-WM auf der Lenzerheide: Interview mit Martina Kindler, Physiotherapeutin der Schweizer Biathleten.

Er ist der zentrale Platz in der St. Galler Innenstadt und es wird schon lange über ihn diskutiert: Der Marktplatz. Zwei Tage vor dem Ende der öffentlichen Auflage kommt nun Kritik am Neugestaltungs-Projekt vom Heimatschutz St. Gallen-Appenzell Innerrhoden. Weitere Themen: - Leicht mehr Gewinn für Raiffeisenbanken in den Kantonen St. Gallen, beiden Appenzell und Glarus im Jahr 2024 - Verkehrsbetriebe St. Gallen warnen vor Betrüger - Drogen im Wert von über 200'000 Franken im Kanton Graubünden sichergestellt - Bündner Kantonsparlament fordert die Polizei auf, die Standorte der «Blitzer» zu veröffentlichen - Toggenburger Unternehmer Eugen Kägi im Alter von 96 Jahren gestorben

Seit einigen Jahren gibt die Kantonspolizei St. Gallen wöchentlich bekannt, wo im Kanton die semistationären Geschwindigkeitsmessanlagen stehen. Die Massnahme diene der Erhöhung der Verkehrssicherheit, heisst es. Aus dem Bündner Kantonsparlament kommt nun die gleiche Forderung. Weitere Themen: - Heimatschutz kritisiert das Neugestaltungs-Projekt des Marktplatzes in der Stadt St. Gallen - St. Galler Stadtrat will keine Pride-Beflaggung während der nächsten Pride Parade in St. Gallen - Biathlon-WM auf der Lenzerheide: Interview mit der Physiotherapeutin des Schweizer Biathlon-Teams

Ohne allgemeines Tempolimit gilt Deutschland als wahres Schlaraffenland für Raser. Doch mit moderner Blitzer-Überwachung lassen sich viele Verstöße feststellen, wie die Polizei in Berlin beweist. An manchen Straßen sind dabei sogar fast alle Autos zu schnell unterwegs. Konsequenzen müssen Fahrer jedoch nicht fürchten – bisher.

Die traurige Wahrheit vorneweg: Thomas Normal Cool hat schon wieder etwas verloren. Nach seiner Tränenflüssigkeit im Alter von 12, seinem schönen Äußeren seit er gefeedet wird, fehlt nun auch noch seine Stimme. Einst glockenhell, voller Witz und Subversivität bleibt nur noch ein heiseres Krächzen, als hätte Mario Basler mit einer Käsereibe kopuliert. Wie sich das auf die aktuelle Folge auswirkt, müssen die mutigen Receiver für sich selbst entscheiden. Es wurde aber auf jeden Fall etwas recordet. Es wurden sogar mehr als heikle Themen angefasst. Es wird mindestens einen halben Fäkalienwind geben. Und es hat sogar ein Überraschungsgast seinen Weg ins Studio gefunden. Das ist ja wohl immer noch besser als nichts! *** Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Darf eine Podcast-Folge jemals mit dem Satz “Die Gießfähigkeit Ihrer Tülle ist suboptimal, Herr Martiens?” anfangen? Das Volksohr würde natürlich sofort “Nein” sagen, aber die mutigen Schweinesäue von “Eulen vor die Hunde” wagen diesen Schritt trotzdem. Und damit ist eigentlich auch alles schon gesagt. Alles, was danach folgt, ist absolut vernachlässigbar. Es geht lediglich um Neuentdeckungen von Accessoires und technischen Bedeutsamkeiten. Und um die große Kunst des Rumtüdelns, innerhalb, außerhalb und mittendrin von Wohnräumen und Köpfen. Es geht um absichtlich herbeigeführte Hässlichkeit, um Alltagslügen und natürlich gibt es auch wieder Neues vom Feeder. Diesmal folgerichtig eingerahmt in das, was es ist: ein neues TRUE CRIME OPOSSUM. Thomas Normal Detektiv Cool hat eine Liste potentieller Täter erstellt und erzwingt damit hoffentlich bald den Durchbruch (bevor seine Hose bricht). *** Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Diese Folge Eulensau steht ganz im Zeichen der Opferigkeit: Thomas Normal Cool ist nach wie vor Opfer eines Feeders, der diese Woche übrigens besonders perfide zugeschlagen und ein neues Level der psychologischen Kriegsführung erreicht hat. Frank wurde Opfer eines sehr unverfrorenen, penetranten Gegenübers und ist in eine ultimative Ehrlichkeitstestfalle getappt, die ihn beinahe Reputation und Leben gekostet hätte. Und Basti ist Opfer seiner eigenen Sportlichkeit geworden und kämpft nun mit den Folgeerscheinungen als Junginvalide. Ansonsten geht es wie immer um die ganz heißen Themen der Woche. Darf ein Hauseingang als Toilette benutzt werden? Warum chargieren Jan Köppen und Daniel Zietlow wie zwei Didi Hallervorden durch die “Dschungel-Camp”-Moderationen? Wer zum Geier liebt allgemeine Mehligkeit? Was sind Niedrigpositions-Mützen? In welchen Situationen darf man sich selbst Verbrennungen zufügen? Und wie genau ist eigentlich das Wort “Akt” definiert?

Immigration has been the cornerstone of Donald Trump's political career, and in his second successful Presidential campaign he promised to execute the largest deportation in history. Stephen Miller, Trump's key advisor on hard-line immigration policy, said that the incoming Administration would “unleash the vast arsenal of federal powers to implement the most spectacular migration crackdown,” possibly involving the use of the military. “I do think they're going to strain the outer limits of the law on that,” the staff writer Jonathan Blitzer tells David Remnick. “We're entering unprecedented territory.” Blitzer unpacks some of the anti-immigrant rhetoric, and explains measures that the new Administration is likely to take. “I.C.E. has a policy that discourages arrests at schools, hospitals, places of worship, courts,” he says. That policy can change and, he believes, will. “You're going to see arrest operations in very scary and upsetting places.” The aim, he thinks, will be “to create a sense of terror. That is going to be the modus operandi of the Administration.” Blitzer is the author of “Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here,” a definitive account of the immigration crisis.  

In this episode of Words on a Wire, host Will Rose sits down with Jonathan Blitzer, New Yorker staff writer and author of the New York Times Top 10 Book of 2024, Everyone Who Was Gone Is Here. Blitzer delves into the intricate and often overlooked ties between U.S. foreign policy in Central America and the modern immigration crises at the southern border. Drawing on years of immersive reporting and personal interviews, Blitzer highlights the human stories behind the headlines, including the transformative narratives of individuals like Juan, whose life embodies the far-reaching consequences of Cold War-era policies.The conversation touches on key moments in immigration history, such as the evolution of deterrence strategies in El Paso, the humanitarian crisis fueled by asylum seekers, and the shifting demographics of border crossings. Blitzer also shares his concerns about the potential consequences of a second Trump administration, predicting aggressive policies that could reshape immigrant communities and asylum processes.

In Filderstadt hat man jetzt aus dem Rathausfenster geblitzt. Das wirft natürlich Fragen auf, zum Glück hat einer Antworten...

[SEGMENT 1-1] Democracy WAS on the ballot 1 I read an article where the author claimed that Democrats screed about "democracy is on the ballot" fell short. I disagreed. Democracy was indeed on the ballot in 2024, just not in the way Democrats intended. Democrats plastered the phrase across ads, speeches, and campaign rallies. But their actions told a very different story. As Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) insisted they were the stewards of democratic ideals, they sabotaged their own processes. They silenced dissenters, and manipulated election mechanisms in ways that left even their own base skeptical. Ironically, this made their loss to Donald Trump not only inevitable, but richly poetic. Democracy by Any Means Necessary? The Democrats' rallying cry of “saving democracy” was undermined from the start. Shielding Joe Biden from primary challengers was their first move, a tactic that looked more like damage control than democratic engagement. Prominent figures like Representative Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) and Marianne Williamson openly criticized this strategy. They sounded the alarm, warning that Biden's isolation from scrutiny would backfire. The DNC then doubled down by canceling the Florida primary outright and attempting similar maneuvers in Wisconsin, only to be blocked by the courts. When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dared to challenge the Democratic establishment, they deployed an entire “war room” to discredit him. Ultimately, they not only pushed him out of the race as a Democrat, but they push him out of the party altogether. Meanwhile, Harris—who dropped out of the 2020 race without earning a single vote—was anointed as the party's new figurehead once Biden became too much of a liability. Their so-called defense of democracy had all the hallmarks of a monarchy, minus the pageantry. Democracy for Us, Not for You It wasn't just presidential politics where the Democrats' hypocrisy shone. In multiple states, they fought tooth and nail against ballot measures aimed at expanding voter participation. Reforms in Arizona, Colorado, Washington, D.C., Nevada, and South Dakota sought to give independent voters a voice in primary elections. But the Democrats actively campaigned against these reforms. The message was clear: democracy is fine as long as it serves our interests.  [SEGMENT 1-2] Democracy WAS on the ballot 2   [X] SB – Katt Williams on CNN being wrong This isn't a new phenomenon. For years, the DNC has resisted primary election reform, even in states where it could strengthen democratic processes. In places like California and Washington, where voters implemented open primaries, the party has lobbied to return to exclusionary systems. The irony? The party that brands itself as the champion of democracy consistently works to suppress it when it threatens their grip on power. The 14th Amendment Fiasco As the general election approached, Democrats took their anti-democratic antics to new heights. In states like Colorado and Michigan, they pursued legal battles to bar Trump from the ballot, citing the 14th Amendment's clause against aiding an “insurrection.” It was a novel—and transparently desperate—interpretation of constitutional law. Voters saw it for what it was: a last-ditch attempt to win by disqualification rather than persuasion. This legal gambit didn't just fail; it galvanized the Trump base and alienated moderate voters. Americans may have disagreements about Trump, but they overwhelmingly rejected the notion that the electoral process should be circumvented to deny voters their choice. When Hypocrisy Meets Reality Democracy wasn't just on the ballot—it was the ballot. And voters delivered a resounding verdict: they want leadership that respects the process, not a party that manipulates it. While Democrats lamented their loss, leaders like Nancy Pelosi now bemoan the very lack of openness they orchestrated. It's a convenient pivot, but one that smacks of opportunism, rather than genuine reflection. The broader issue here isn't just that the Democratic Party lost—it's that they lost credibility. For years, they've positioned themselves as defenders of democracy while engaging in the very behaviors they accuse Republicans of: voter suppression, exclusionary tactics, and backroom deals. This hypocrisy has finally caught up with them, and voters are no longer buying what they're selling. A Lesson in True Democracy Americans care deeply about democracy, despite what pundits might suggest. But they won't be lectured by a party that cancels primaries, silences challengers, and manipulates election systems. In 2024, voters made it clear that they're tired of being told what democracy looks like by Leftist demons who have no intent of practicing it. As Democrats process their historic loss, they have a choice to make. They can continue down the path of hypocrisy, or they can take a hard look at their own undemocratic tendencies and work to rebuild trust. Either way, democracy has spoken—and it's Trump who emerged as its unlikely standard-bearer.  [SEGMENT 1-3] Democracy WAS on the ballot 3   [X] SB – Scott Jennings asked by Blitzer why Harris lost No one to blame but themselves.

I disagreed. Democracy was indeed on the ballot in 2024, just not in the way Democrats intended. Democrats plastered the phrase across ads, speeches, and campaign rallies. But their actions told a very different story. As Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) insisted they were the stewards of democratic ideals, they sabotaged their own processes. They silenced dissenters, and manipulated election mechanisms in ways that left even their own base skeptical. Ironically, this made their loss to Donald Trump not only inevitable, but richly poetic. Democracy by Any Means Necessary? The Democrats' rallying cry of “saving democracy” was undermined from the start. Shielding Joe Biden from primary challengers was their first move, a tactic that looked more like damage control than democratic engagement. Prominent figures like Representative Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) and Marianne Williamson openly criticized this strategy. They sounded the alarm, warning that Biden's isolation from scrutiny would backfire. The DNC then doubled down by canceling the Florida primary outright and attempting similar maneuvers in Wisconsin, only to be blocked by the courts. When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dared to challenge the Democratic establishment, they deployed an entire “war room” to discredit him. Ultimately, they not only pushed him out of the race as a Democrat, but they push him out of the party altogether. Meanwhile, Harris—who dropped out of the 2020 race without earning a single vote—was anointed as the party's new figurehead once Biden became too much of a liability. Their so-called defense of democracy had all the hallmarks of a monarchy, minus the pageantry. Democracy for Us, Not for You It wasn't just presidential politics where the Democrats' hypocrisy shone. In multiple states, they fought tooth and nail against ballot measures aimed at expanding voter participation. Reforms in Arizona, Colorado, Washington, D.C., Nevada, and South Dakota sought to give independent voters a voice in primary elections. But the Democrats actively campaigned against these reforms. The message was clear: democracy is fine as long as it serves our interests.  [SEGMENT 1-2] Democracy WAS on the ballot 2   [X] SB – Katt Williams on CNN being wrong This isn't a new phenomenon. For years, the DNC has resisted primary election reform, even in states where it could strengthen democratic processes. In places like California and Washington, where voters implemented open primaries, the party has lobbied to return to exclusionary systems. The irony? The party that brands itself as the champion of democracy consistently works to suppress it when it threatens their grip on power. The 14th Amendment Fiasco As the general election approached, Democrats took their anti-democratic antics to new heights. In states like Colorado and Michigan, they pursued legal battles to bar Trump from the ballot, citing the 14th Amendment's clause against aiding an “insurrection.” It was a novel—and transparently desperate—interpretation of constitutional law. Voters saw it for what it was: a last-ditch attempt to win by disqualification rather than persuasion. This legal gambit didn't just fail; it galvanized the Trump base and alienated moderate voters. Americans may have disagreements about Trump, but they overwhelmingly rejected the notion that the electoral process should be circumvented to deny voters their choice. When Hypocrisy Meets Reality Democracy wasn't just on the ballot—it was the ballot. And voters delivered a resounding verdict: they want leadership that respects the process, not a party that manipulates it. While Democrats lamented their loss, leaders like Nancy Pelosi now bemoan the very lack of openness they orchestrated. It's a convenient pivot, but one that smacks of opportunism, rather than genuine reflection. The broader issue here isn't just that the Democratic Party lost—it's that they lost credibility. For years, they've positioned themselves as defenders of democracy while engaging in the very behaviors they accuse Republicans of: voter suppression, exclusionary tactics, and backroom deals. This hypocrisy has finally caught up with them, and voters are no longer buying what they're selling. A Lesson in True Democracy Americans care deeply about democracy, despite what pundits might suggest. But they won't be lectured by a party that cancels primaries, silences challengers, and manipulates election systems. In 2024, voters made it clear that they're tired of being told what democracy looks like by Leftist demons who have no intent of practicing it. As Democrats process their historic loss, they have a choice to make. They can continue down the path of hypocrisy, or they can take a hard look at their own undemocratic tendencies and work to rebuild trust. Either way, democracy has spoken—and it's Trump who emerged as its unlikely standard-bearer.   [SEGMENT 1-3] Democracy WAS on the ballot 3   [X] SB – Scott Jennings asked by Blitzer why Harris lost No one to blame but themselves.

In this week's episode, I review the movies and streaming shows I saw in the second half of summer 2024. The episode concludes with a preview of the audiobook of HALF-ORC PALADIN, as excellently narrated by Leanne Woodward. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 218 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is September the 13th, 2024 and today we are discussing my Summer Movie Review Roundup, Part 2. Just to note to say that you may hear some odd background noises in this episode. My neighbor across the street is getting his roof replaced. I can't begrudge them that because no one likes a leaky roof, but it is slightly inconvenient because this is the only time today I have to record the podcast. So if you hear the occasional pop in the background, that is the sound of a nail gun driving shingles into a roof. Before we get to our main topics, let's have an update on my current writing projects and then we will do Question of the Week. First up, Shield of Conquest is very nearly done. I am about 2/3 of the way through the final round of editing and if all goes well, it should come out shortly after this episode is available, so be sure to check your favorite ebook retailer and see if it is out. Once that is done, I will be going full speed ahead on Ghost in the Tombs and I'm currently 48,000 words into that, so about halfway through the rough draft, give or take, depends on how long the rest of the book takes and how certain scenes in the final half of the book out. In audiobook news, Half-Orc Paladin is done, and it's now available on all the major audio stores: Audible, Amazon, Apple, Google Play, Chirp, Kobo, Payhip, Spotify, and a couple others, and you can get it there. We will close out this episode with a preview of Half-Orc Paladin (as excellently narrated by Leanne Woodward). 00:01:30 Question of the Week Now let's have a Question of the Week. Question of the Week is designed to inspire interesting discussions of enjoyable topics. This week's question: what is your favorite superhero movie? No wrong answers, of course (including “I don't like superhero movies”, but it turns out no one said that, so I guess superhero movies are quite popular). The inspiration for this question was that I was thinking about how superhero movies are such a major part of pop culture. Nowadays when people think of superhero movies, they usually think of Marvel and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but there were major superhero movies before the whole Marvel Cinematic approach really got going in the 2000s/2010s and they've been obviously part of pop culture for a very long time, and as you could expect, we had a wide range of responses from this. Our first response was from JD, who says: If I had to pick just one, it would probably be Guardians of the Galaxy. The first film had a near perfect mix of action, drama, and comedy. For me, the best Batman film was the 1966 one starring Adam West. Joaquim says: In the last millennium, when I was a child, we had DC Comics and Marvel Comics. I did like Batman in DC, Spider-man and The Avengers in Marvel. In the movies, I did not particularly like Batman, but I like the early Marvel movies, Avengers 1 and Captain America 2 the most. Mary says: X-Men. Todd says: 1978 Superman. Visually at 15, I believed a man could fly. Juana says: My superhero is actually a couple - The Vision and Scarlet Witch (before they turned Vision into an emotionless thing a while back). What's interesting is that the guy who was in charge of Picard Season 3, which I quite liked, is apparently going to be running a Vision show for Marvel sometime in 2026 (assuming Disney doesn't run out of money first), so it should be interesting to see how it turns out. Stephen says: I know this is random- Shang Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings. I know it was not completely an original storyline, but I liked it a lot. I agree with Stephen. I thought Shang Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings was one of the stronger Marvel movies and it's too bad it hasn't had a sequel. Becca says: The Dark Knight trilogy. Those are the real Batman films for me. Ledger was certainly the best Joker. I do love the happier Batmans, too. I grew up on West's version of Batman. For me, V for Vendetta is my favorite superhero movie and one of my favorite movies ever. I usually watch it at least once a year. Michael says: Captain America: The First Avenger. Juliana says: Second Captain America. The spy aspect really married well with the superhero genre in this one. I agree with Juliana. I think Captain America: Winter Soldier is one of the better Marvel movies. Roger says: only because we're entering the season, The Christmas Chronicles with Kurt Russell. Andrew says: Deadpool and Wolverine, followed by The Dark Knight trilogy. James says: I know Fox's X-Men get a bad rap generally, but Days of Future Past was amazing. I'd have to go with that, with The Dark Knight, Thor: Ragnarok, and Wonder Woman as runner-ups. Cheryl says: don't really have favorites, but for eye candy, Thor. Catriona says: The original Christopher Reeve Superman. Jenny says: Mystery Men. Jeanne says: Megamind. Randy says: Christian Bale and Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight movies are definitely in the top three but Iron Man has always been my favorite. Good story, good pacing, and Robert Downey Junior just nailed playing Tony Stark, in my opinion. Not to mention it kicked off the longest, largest, story movie arc to this day. BV says: Superman 1978. Terry says: Fifth Element. Gary says: Hancock. For myself, I think my favorite superhero movies would be the Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale Dark Knight trilogy. Strong performances, great action, and they managed to do something very difficult, namely bring a satisfying end to a superhero story arc. It almost feels like The Dark Knight movies are the “real” events of Batman and all the other comics and cartoons and movies are legends and exaggerations after the fact, like how the whole glittering mythos of King Arthur and the Round Table developed around an obscure Roman British warlord in the 500s AD. Also, Heath Ledger's version of the Joker was amazing. That said, for Marvel movies, which have been kind of the dominant form of superhero movies for the last decade, I think the best one of those would be Captain America: Winter Soldier (in my opinion). 00:05:45 Main Topic: Summer 2024 Movie/TV Roundup, Part 2 And now on to our main topic of this episode, my Summer 2024 Movie Roundup, Part 2. And if this movie roundup has a theme, it's miscellaneous. The reason for that is I did not actually watch all that many movies in the second half of the summer. There was no nefarious reason for that. I was just busy with travel and busy with multiple instances of home repair and busy finishing Half-Orc Paladin and Shield of Conquest. So I mostly watched some older stuff that I found on streaming, especially on Tubi, which has the delightful attribute of being free with ads. As usual, the movies are listed from my least favorite to my most favorite and the grades are totally subjective and based upon my own thoughts and opinions and nothing more substantial than that. So with that in mind, let's start out. First up is The Burbs, which came out in 1989. It's a dark comedy/horror movie satire starring Tom Hanks as Ray, a suburban homeowner with a wife and a son. On vacation for the week, Ray becomes obsessed with the Klopeks, a new family that has moved on to his street. The Klopeks have no interest in maintaining their property and show signs of other odd activities: going out only at night, constant digging in the backyard, and strange noises and lights coming from their basement. Soon, Ray and his two neighbors become determined to find out just what the Klopeks are up to. It was darkly funny, though you could tell that the ending had been rewritten a few times. The movie couldn't decide if it wanted to be a satire of clannish homeowners or to totally validate their concerns, or both. I think it tried for both and couldn't quite get there. Though it does kind of show how much the United States has changed or possibly declined in the last 35 years. Ray and his friends are shown as kind of losers, but they live in enormous, well-maintained houses. It's like how Homer Simpson in the first couple seasons of The Simpsons was shown as a bumbling loser, but yet he could afford to live in a four bedroom house, his wife didn't work most of the time, they had two cars and three children, and all without Homer having a college degree. By the standards of 2024, Homer Simpson lived like a king. Amusing anecdote-one scene in The Burbs was clearly inspired by A Fistful of Dollars, which I talk about more below. Overall grade: C Next up is The Batman vs. Dracula, an animated movie which came out in 2005. In this movie, Batman goes up against Count Dracula. This was probably as dark and gory as something can be while still technically remaining targeted at children. When a robbery goes bad, the Penguin accidentally releases Count Dracula from his tomb and becomes the Vampire Lord's new chief servant. Dracula is fascinated by the modern world, but he's especially fascinated by Batman since for obvious reasons he admires Batman's bat-themed motif. Dracula offers Batman the chance to become his chief lieutenant, which Batman refuses and Dracula takes that personally. He'll get his revenge by turning Gotham City into a city of the undead and taking Bruce Wayne's girlfriend, Vicki Vale, as his new vampire bride. Unless, of course, Batman stops him. It was interesting how neatly Dracula slots into becoming a good enemy for Batman. After all, in the original Dracula novel, Dracula's nemesis Van Helsing was definitely a man of science who brought logic, reason, and scientific method to his fight against Dracula. Batman is also a man of science in the sense that he's a detective, so he does some detective work to unravel Dracula's weaknesses and to build weapons to use against him. Overall Grade: B Next up is Set It Up, which came out in 2018. This is a romantic comedy that reminded me a bit of the more cynical 1940s-era romcoms like The Shop Around the Corner. The female lead Harper works as a personal assistant for a workaholic female sports writer who terrorizes her employees. The male lead Charlie works for workaholic male venture capitalist who also terrorizes his employees. Both their bosses are miserable, demanding people who make everyone around them unhappy. One day, both Charlie and Harper are dispatched to get dinner for their bosses and end up fighting over the last available delivery man. However, in the wake of the encounter, Harper hatches a plan. Both she and Charlie know everything about their respective bosses, so why not manipulate their calendars and schedules so they fall in love? They might be more cheerful, or at the very least they'll be in the office less frequently. Charlie has his misgivings about this plan, but after one more unfortunate encounter with his boss, decides to embark upon Harper's plan. Of course, Charlie has a high maintenance girlfriend who wants him to make a lot more money, and Harper is trying to find a boyfriend, but as per the rules of romcoms, perhaps Charlie and Harper will have more in common than they might think. This had a bit more crude humor than I might prefer but was still enjoyable. It did remind me quite a bit of the more cynical ‘30s and ‘40s movies like My Man Godfrey or the Shop around the Corner. Overall Grade: B Next up is The Bank of Dave, which came out in 2023. This is basically the cynical British version of a Hallmark movie, but with better production values. It is very, very loosely based on the activities of Dave Fishwick, a successful van dealer in the north of England who decides to start a local bank for local people, feeling that the Big London banks have lost sight of that. To do that, he recruits a London lawyer named Hugh to help him navigate a labyrinth of regulation around financial institutions. Of course the big banks dislike this idea and come after Dave hard. Dave is definitely the local Big Man, and it's interesting that humanity's default mode of government seems to be Local Big Man. However, if one must have a Big Man, one could only hope he is as benevolent as Dave. The movie was pretty funny, though a lot of the humor comes from the UK's class and regional divides, which are rather more pronounced than in the United States. Here in the United States, you can drive for 300 miles and be in the same state the entire time, and the local culture won't change all that much. The cliche is that the US East Coast and the US West Coast look down upon flyover country, but you can drive something like 1,000 miles from New York before you even get to Flyover Country. If you drive 300 miles in the UK, you've probably gone through six or seven regional accents and local traditions. The Bank of Dave does kind of turn into a Hallmark movie since Hugh falls for David's doctor niece. So basically a romance with the backdrop of British class/regional struggle as comedy. Overall grade: B Next up is Cool Runnings, which came out in 1993. A sports comedy film very (and I mean very loosely) based on the debut of the Jamaican Olympic bobsled team in the 1988 Winter Olympics. When sprinter Derice Bannock is unable to qualify for the Jamaican Olympic team due to an accident, he decides to instead to start a bobsled team to represent Jamaica in the Games. To do this, he recruits washed up former bobsledder Blitzer (played by John Candy) to act as the team's coach. What follows is a pretty good example of a sports movie. The team must come together and perform while overcoming their own personal challenges and inner conflicts, especially Coach Blitzer, who has to dig deep and overcome his past to effectively coach the team. It's interesting that sports movies tend to follow one of two trajectories. Either the team rallies and wins the championship, or they don't win the championship and nonetheless achieve moral victory by overcoming their internal difficulties in learning to work together. I won't spoil which path Cool Runnings follows. Overall Grade: B Next up is Uncle Buck, which came out in 1989. This is a coming-of-age comedy film about a 40 year old man, oddly enough. I did think this was pretty funny. Bob and Cindy are a married couple with three children living in the suburbs of Chicago, and when Cindy's father has a heart attack, they need to rush to his side. Due to the unexpected nature of the news, they have to find someone to watch the kids while they're gone. In desperation, they turned to Bob's brother Buck, who alternates between working for his girlfriend at her tire company and making money on rigged horse races. While Buck is kind of a loser, he's basically a decent guy, just averse to responsibility and settling down. He quickly steps up to take care of the children, though he conflicts with the oldest daughter Tia, who is in the grips of a full-blown adolescent rebellion. Buck soon realizes that he's come to a crossroads in his life, which is reinforced when Tia runs away to a party for the weekend. Slightly dark in places, but definitely more family friendly than many ‘80s comedies. Overall Grade: B+ Next up is the Adjustment Bureau, which came out in 2011. It is a science fiction romantic thriller based on the Philip K. Dick story, which is a very odd sentence to say, but it's true. Matt Damon plays David Norris, a congressman from New York who just lost the Senate race. Preparing for his concession speech. He meets Elise (played by Emily Blunt) and is immediately smitten with her. A month later, he runs into her by accident on a bus and receives her phone number. However, soon mysterious suited men with unusual powers arrive and burn the paper with the phone number. The men explain to David that they are The Adjustment Bureau, charged with making sure history unfolds according to the mysterious Plan. The Plan says that David can never see Elise again. David of course is not the sort of guy to take that lying down, so he soon finds himself trying to outwit the Time Cops and find Elise. It was interesting that The Adjustment Bureau was very similar to the Time Variance Authority from the Marvel Loki show, so I wonder if they drew on some of the same sources of inspiration. An interesting movie and worth watching. It actually wrestled with the oldest philosophical question in Western civilization: are all things predestined or do we have free will? Or is it somehow both? I have to admit that the scene where Elise dunked David's BlackBerry in coffee was very satisfying to me personally, since I had a lot of support headaches with Blackberries back in the 2000s. Overall Grade: B+ Now, finally the favorite thing I saw in the second half of the summer 2024: A Fistful of Dollars, which came out in 1964. This was the first Spaghetti Western I've seen, which means it's Italian director Sergio Leone's sort of stylized version of what the Old West was like. Of course, the movie actually ripped off the Akira Kurosawa samurai movie Yojimbo. In fact, it was so heavily ripped off Yojimbo that Kurosawa sued, settled out of court, and received 15% of A Fistful of Dollars' revenue. Apparently Kurosawa made more from the settlement than he did from Yojimbo. Legal troubles aside, it was quite good and I could see how it heavily influenced many subsequent movies. For example, the Star Wars character of Boba Fett was inspired by A Fistful of Dollars and Boba Fett in turn inspired the Mandalorian. Stephen King's rather disappointing Dark Tower series was inspired by Dollars as well. And there are many other examples, such as the scene in The Burbs I had mentioned above earlier. Anyway, Clint Eastwood plays The Stranger, a mercenary gunslinger who seems to be drifting from town to town without a purpose. He arrives at San Miguel, a US-Mexican border town that is dominated by two crime families at each other's throats, the Rojos and the Baxters. Both clans seek to hire The Stranger for their organizations and the gunslinger begins playing them off each other for personal profit. As mercenary and as ruthless as he is, The Stranger seems to have a core of honor to him. A couple of times he goes out of his way to help people because he can, which sometimes gets him into trouble. Definitely worth watching as a classic film.

Andy and Jeff talk NBA with Spike Eskin and break down his comments on the Cavs and the Blitzer Group. 

Project 2025 is a 920-page bloated opus about taking our fragile democracy and turning into Christian Nationalist nightmare if Trump gets back into the oval office. And Beth read it!! Well, skimmed some portions because oh my god was this bureaucratic gibberish. But that's the point; onslaught us with so much information, we're too numb to fight back. Listen to part one on Strange Country where Beth and Kelly detail how the Project 2025 authors, an assortment of Garbage Pail kids, pin all of society's ills on “wokeness,” abortion, and gay people having rights. The plan is to get rid of all those things. Theme music: Big White Lie by A Cast of Thousands.

In the shadow of another election year, Democrats and Republicans are at a bitter crossroads over immigration, as the system becomes increasingly unmanageable. With as many as twelve thousand migrants arriving at the border per day, and resistance to asylum seekers growing—even among Democrats—the Biden Administration is in a political bind. “You have a global moment of mass migration converging on the border at a time when resources are down. Congress is refusing to give the president the money that he needs for basic operations—it's a perfect storm,” The New Yorker's Jonathan Blitzer tells David Remnick.  Blitzer has covered immigration for years, and his new book, “Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here,” takes a long and deep look at U.S. policy and the forces that drive migrants to undertake enormous risks. According to Blitzer, both sides are obscuring the actual problem. “There's always been an assumption that the case for immigration makes itself—that the moral high ground makes sense to everyone, that we should be welcoming, that people showing up in need obviously should seek protection,” Blitzer says. “I don't think defenders of immigration have squared the high ideals with some of the practical realities. And sadly the border, which is a tiny sliver of what the immigration system is as a whole, ends up dominating the conversation.”Plus, the pop singer and songwriter Olivia Rodrigo's rise to fame has been meteoric. She talks with David Remnick about her models for songwriting, dealing with social media as a young celebrity, and how it feels to be branded the voice of Generation Z.

Hundreds of thousands of people, mostly from Central America, arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border every year. What to do with these migrants is one of the most divisive issues in Washington. New Yorker staff writer Jonathan Blitzer says the crisis is partially the result of decades of American policy. Blitzer's new book is called Everyone Who is Gone is Here. He also recounts the stories of those attempting to cross the border.

New Yorker writer Jonathan Blitzer gives a deeper lens into Johnson, a conservative who refused to certify the 2020 election results. Blitzer also talks about the influence of Rep. Jim Jordan. Kevin Whitehead reviews a new album from big band composer Darcy James Argue.
