Podcasts about boosters

Dean Cheng, co-host Gordon Chang: Cheng analyzes China's space program and its pursuit of reusable booster technology to match SpaceX's cost-saving launch cadences. Although China has successfully recaptured first-stage boosters, it has not yet demonstrated refurbishing or reusing them. Cheng notes that China seeks space dominance to deploy six mega-constellations and establish moon colonies. He suggests that a delay in China's lunar south pole probe—officially blamed on solar exposure—is likely due to the ongoing accident investigation of the Long March 7 rocket failure. Cheng predicts a Chinese astronaut will walk on the moon by December 31, 2030. (6)

Back in 2018, we covered writer/director Boots Riley's Sorry to Bother You in Episode 18 of the Lodgecast. In 2026, Boots Riley has returned to the big screen with his wild new crime comedy I Love Boosters. The movie follows a group of professional shoplifters who are targeting a fashion mogul. The film stars Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza Gonzalez, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, Don Cheadle, and Demi Moore. It's a chaotic capitalist critique that left us with much to discuss!

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden COVID Reckoning, Fauci Fallout, and the Culture-War Fight Over Women's Sports Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden host The Chuck and Julie Show with guest Dr. Brian Joondeph for a sharp political and cultural discussion on COVID-era policy, Fauci logs and accountability, media complicity, medical trust, censorship, midterms, the WNBA transgender-athlete controversy, and broader debates over science, institutions, race, gender, and political power. In December of 2020 Dr.Brian Joondeph was criticized for what a liberal writer called his “contrarian” COVID views. Turns out Joondeph was right… while Fauci lied to us all along. He joins the show today to let us know if the reporter ever corrected his story. Guest Spotlight: Dr. Brian Joondeph This episode of The Chuck and Julie Show, hosted by Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden, features guest Dr. Brian Joondeph, identified in the corrected transcript as a guest commentator and physician. The transcript notes that statements involving politics, medicine, COVID policy, elections, race, gender, public figures, and other disputed topics are preserved as speaker claims and opinions rather than verified facts. COVID Contrarians, Fauci, and the Westword Article Chuck and Julie open by introducing Dr. Brian Joondeph and revisiting a 2020 Westword column that had described his COVID views as contrarian. Julie asks whether the writer has followed up now that, in her view, more information has emerged supporting many of the objections raised during the COVID era. Dr. Joondeph responds that he has not heard from the writer and jokes that Dr. Fauci's own diary appears to have been more “contrarian” than Fauci's public statements. This sets up the main interview theme: how public-health narratives were shaped, defended, enforced, and later left without clear accountability. Public-Health Rules, Censorship, and Institutional Trust The conversation moves into masks, distancing, PCR testing, COVID death counts, school closures, church closures, business shutdowns, riots, and the contradictions of elite behavior. Dr. Joondeph argues that physicians and commentators who challenged the COVID consensus risked professional punishment, censorship, deplatforming, or threats to their licenses. He also criticizes the use of PCR testing as a mass-screening tool and says COVID death numbers were overstated. Chuck and Julie frame the larger issue as a collapse of trust in journalists, doctors, public-health institutions, and political leaders who, in their view, pushed rules on the public while exempting themselves. Fauci Logs, Celebrity Culture, and Accountability The hosts and Dr. Joondeph then discuss newly discussed Fauci logs, diary entries, private communications, and public statements. Dr. Joondeph argues that Fauci said one thing privately and another publicly, especially around lab-origin possibilities, masks, distancing, and vaccine messaging. He also criticizes Fauci's celebrity status, describing him as starstruck and distracted by contact with famous figures while ordinary people were dealing with hospital isolation, mandates, and fear. Julie and Chuck repeatedly ask where accountability is, while Dr. Joondeph says the medical and media establishments still avoid a serious reckoning. Vaccines, Boosters, Medical Honesty, and Future Emergencies The interview continues into vaccine claims, booster injuries, hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, Big Pharma influence, and the loss of faith in medical institutions. Dr. Joondeph says public-health officials and media figures made overconfident promises about vaccines preventing infection and transmission, when they should have been honest about uncertainty. He compares this to surgical practice, where a physician explains risks and probabilities rather than guaranteeing an outcome. The conversation ends with a warning that another emergency could be attempted in the future, possibly under a different label such as climate, and that local, state, and federal elections will determine how much resistance is possible. Caller Comment, Fauci Allegations, and the WNBA Turn After Dr. Joondeph leaves, Julie reads listener comments about Fauci, and caller Sherrie raises allegations connected to the BBC documentary Guinea Pig Kids, Celia Farber, AIDS drug testing, orphan children, and unmarked graves. Julie says she has not heard those claims and will look into them, while also expressing skepticism. The show then turns to the WNBA, Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, and the transgender-athlete debate. Julie says Dr. Joondeph has written about the WNBA at American Thinker, and the hosts argue that the controversy exposes what they see as contradictions in claims about sex, gender identity, athletic fairness, and women's sports. Royce White, Satire, and the WNBA Trans-Athlete Dilemma The hosts play an audio clip from former NBA player and political candidate Royce White, who says he sometimes identifies as a woman for the purposes of professional basketball and intends to declare for the WNBA draft. Julie and Chuck discuss this as satire meant to expose the league's dilemma: if the league says it respects gender identity, what happens when male professional athletes claim eligibility for women's basketball? They argue that the situation makes the debate absurd and forces the WNBA to confront the biological realities of elite athletic competition. The discussion remains framed through the hosts' viewpoint and political-cultural commentary. Midterms, Cambridge, Equality Claims, and Closing Tease The closing section broadens into midterms, the possible balance of power in Congress, intelligence-community influence, pharmaceutical companies, and a Cambridge professor named Jason Arday. Julie describes Arday's public backstory and says later scrutiny raised questions about his claims and scholarship. Chuck links the story to larger debates over equality, intelligence, sex differences, race, and institutional ideology, while Julie ties the same thinking back to the WNBA controversy. The episode closes with a preview of Janice Fiamengo's upcoming appearance and thanks to Dr. Joondeph, the Zoom audience, BBS, and the show's supporters.

Deondray Gossfield and Quincy LeNear Gossfield chat about how Lena Waithe loved their short film so much, she hired these “first-time directors” as director/producers on her show, “The Chi”.It's a fun episode about their very real journey of multiple successes, pivots, and frustration so great they nearly gave up on the industry. But after putting in thousands of hours and doing things they never really set out to do, like becoming the kings of unscripted, reality, competition shows, they built a skillset and way of working that is so impressive, you won't want to miss it.This episode is for you if you ever wondered, “Will I ever get hired again?” or “How can I possibly define my niche and brand when I have so many interests?!”Help Matts' film: https://wefunder.com/badfeelingHelp our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/JustShootItPodMatt's Endorsement: Palomino Black Wing pencils.

There are few things I like to do more than argue about the fine gradations of Who Is A Star Today And Why. I love the categorization element (what's the difference between a heartthrob and a sex symbol??) but I especially love thinking about what the actors we designate as heartthrobs tell us about our current understandings of masculinity. Is Pedro Pascal a heartthrob or a boyfriend? Is Leonardo DiCaprio the Eternal Heartthrob? Are the stars of Heated Rivalry the Official Heartthrobs of 2026? Do our heartthrobs age with us, or are they eternally 22? Romance author and male celeb aficionado Adib Khorram joins me to work through all of the above and so much more.

Whatever your relationship is with your parents — incredibly close, estranged, somewhere in-between — there's just so much to handle when one of them dies. It doesn't matter if the death was sudden or a long time coming, our reticence to deal with (or even talk about) the postscripts of our lives leaves people scrambling, untangling, and slamming up against walls of legal bureaucracy. So we wanted to talk to someone who's been through it — and has accumulated a deep well of knowledge about preparing for these scenarios and navigating them when they've arrived. Certified death doula Becky Robinson offers deeply practical advice that's also filled with compassion — and I know we'll continue to build on her advice in the comments.

Ep. 413: Jourdain Searles and Maxwell Paparella on Backrooms, Maddie's Secret, I Love Boosters, Rose of Nevada, Disclosure Day Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. As the summer settles in, I thought it was high time to catch up with a few theatrical releases of note. I had a wonderful time with my two guests who've each previously been on the show but not together: Jourdain Searles, critic and programmer, and Maxwell Paparella, deputy editor of Filmmaker magazine. We wove a thread or two through several titles that hopefully by now listeners have had a chance to see: Backrooms (directed by Kane Parsons), Maddie's Secret (John Early), I Love Boosters (Boots Riley), Rose of Nevada (Mark Jenkin), and Disclosure Day (Steven Spielberg).

On the two hundred and ninety-eighth episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST, the crew are in their dialectical materialism era.Christian, Jericho, and Armando unionize to discuss Boots Riley's wacky capitalism satire, I LOVE BOOSTERS, and pair it with the more subdued 1978 Paul Schrader working class drama, BLUE COLLAR. In the Recently Watched Segment, Jericho runs down a slate of Henry Jaglom films, Armando mentions BACKROOMS and THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD (2022), and Christian rounds things off with his remaining Park Chan-wook blindspots. They also chat about which actor is the most likely to be memed from THE ODYSSEY, tease ideas for the upcoming 300th episode, reveal their "quirk-o-meter" tolerances, and wonder whether there's any chance at making a difference from within a corrupt system.Subscribe to Jericho's Substack: symbioticreviews.substack.comKeep in touch with us on Instagram and email us anytime at: TheThirdActPodcast@gmail.com

We love our boomer moms. And our boomer moms are complicated. When Tracy Clark-Flory first told me about her memoir — in which she discovers the half-sister her mother had at age 19, and was forced to give up for adoption — I immediately thought about how so many of our boomer moms' choices were limited in ways we struggle to imagine. No matter how feminist their current politics may be, it doesn't change the fact that so many of them grew up (and became adults) in deeply patriarchal, racist, restrictive, and incredibly anti-sex families and communities. So in this episode, Tracy and I work to activate some deep empathy for boomer moms just generally — but we're also very real about how some of the patterns they couldn't escape have affected their children. We talk about boomer moms who loathe feminism, who've dealt with un-present partners, who struggle with bitterness, who reproduce the criticalness of their own parents, and who really, really want to give gifts. The goal for this episode is empathy that doesn't shy from consequences; became a paid subscriber so you can continue to work through these themes in the comments!

FIRST THINGS FIRST: IF YOU NEED HELP ADDING YOUR SUBSCRIBER-ONLY FEED TO YOUR PODCAST PLAYER, JUST CLICK HERE! Dark Academia is a literary genre. Dark Academia is an aesthetic. Dark Academia is a fantasy space. Or maybe Dark Academia is kind of a overgeneralizing label that few authors actually embrace. That's what R.F. Kuang, author of Babel and Katabasis thinks — and having her on the pod to talk about the trappings of the genre made for a fascinating discussion. We talk about the rise of genre right now, whether it subverts or reinforces the world it depicts, why State School Dark Academia doesn't really exist, and of course race, class, and the ideologies fantasy allows us to explore (and explode), just generally. Come hang out in R.F. Kuang's brilliant mind!!

Oakland filmmaker, rapper and activist Boots Riley's new film ‘I Love Boosters' is a surreal crime comedy that follows three women who shoplift clothes to make ends meet. Like all of his work, there's radical pro-worker politics, indictments of industry, and funk-filled absurdism. We'll talk to Riley about his distinctive storytelling and how it centers his hometown. Guests: Boots Riley, writer and director, "I Love Boosters;" his previous films include "Sorry to Bother You" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We're back with some more Gilmore Girls! Join us in this journey on social media - @gilmorethemerrierpod. ABOUT: GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 7) Lorelai is appalled to find herself modelling matching outfits with her mother after volunteering the inn as a venue for a charity fashion show, and Rory seeks to overturn her reputation as a loner. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 7) November 13, 2001 | The WB CAST & CREW OF: GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 7) Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore Alexis Bledel as Rory Gilmore BRAN'S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 7) SYNOPSIS The car battery is dead. That leads to some classic Gilmore Girl banter. At school, Rory is called to the Guidance Counselor's office. Apparently, there's concern over her social behavior. She's unapproachable. She's a loner. So Lorelai shows up to give Headmaster Charleston a piece of her mind and he's like well....you're not a very active parent. You're a bit of a loner. You should think about being more involved. Rory takes the criticism to heart and sits down with some random girls at lunch. After lunch, Paris comes over and is like HOW'D YOU GET THE INVITE TO SIT DOWN WITH THE PUFFS? Rory has no idea what she's talking about. Apparently that friend group that she randomly sat with is the popular girls. Paris asks her to help her sit at their table. The popular table extends to the Boosters which Lorelai shows up for. They're planning the fall fundraiser. Lorelai offers to hold the event at the Inn. Rory successfully gets Paris an invite to sit at the Puffs table. At the inn, they're getting ready for the event and one of the Booster moms takes quite the liking to Luke. Apparently, the moms all do a fashion show and Lorelai & Emily are teamed up and Emily is LOVING life, dancing to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. And Lorelai eventually joins in. Afterwards, Emily points out that it's interesting to see her fitting in so well into the world that she ran away from. The Puffs show up and kidnap Rory and the other new potential Puffs. They're being PUFF'd! They break into Headmaster Charleston's office and just as Rory is saying her pledge to the Puffs, the night is ruined by Headmaster Charleston. He's lecturing them when Rory speaks up - I'm only here because you all demanded that I begin to socialize. So I sat down at a random table and was kidnapped in the middle of the night all because I was trying to appease you! Headmaster Charleston tells her that she's right and that he will make sure this doesn't count against her. Lorelai tells Luke she doesn't want him to go out with that mom from the Boosters. They argue and then he says she only asked him for directions. The episode ends with Rory back at her own table at lunch and is joined by another girl who also only wants to read.

In this episode, we review the 2026 crime comedy I Love Boosters, the second film written and directed by Boots Riley, starring Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, LaKeith Stanfield, and Demi Moore. We discuss whether this film is a strong follow-up to his well-received movie Sorry to Bother You. We also debate whether his writing style remains unique and entertaining without becoming too over-the-top or preachy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vulture critic Roxana Hadadi joins Adam to break down the first theatrical Star Wars feature in eight years, The Mandalorian and Grogu. They discuss whether its wall-to-wall action reveals true character, how the helmet creates a literal performance straitjacket, and if the film works for anyone walking into the theater without three seasons of television homework. Then, they pivot to a very different kind of crew in Boots Riley’s politically uncompromising sophomore feature I Love Boosters.

This week, the OG three Steve, Dana, and Julia dig into the visually stuffed, Marxist smorgasbord that is Boots Riley's latest film I Love Boosters. Starring Keke Palmer and Demi Moore, the candy-colored agitprop is about exploitation, the fashion world, shoplifting as class warfare, and— as they discuss—perhaps more than one movie can handle. Next they turn from Marx to Freud and analyze the critically adored reality TV phenomenon Couples Therapy, now entering its fifth season. Is the office of Dr. Orna Guralnik a site of transcendent psychological revelation or panoptic exploitation? They unpack.Finally, they talk lingvo itself by way of a recent article in Harpers by Katie Thornton about the unlikely resurgence of interest in the artificial language Esperanto. In a bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, they answer a listener question about what long-running pieces of culture they've stuck with over years.Ĝuu!EndorsementsDana: The book The Artificial Language Movement by Andrew Large about the centuries-long history of utopic language projects.Julia: Lena Dunham's memoir Famesick and Dialed.gg, the internet's latest color perception test.Steve: The music of the indie shoegaze band Slowdive—particularly the album Souvlaki—and the solo efforts of its frontman Neil Halstead—particularly the song “Witless or Wise” and the album Palindrome Hunches; check out Steve's mega playlist for more.---Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com.

In the new film I Love Boosters, Keke Palmer is the ringleader of a shoplifting crew that squares off with an unethical fashion CEO played by Demi Moore. It's from the bizarro visionary director Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You) and it may be his most delightfully unhinged project yet. Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureSubscribe to Pop Culture Happy Hour Plus at plus.npr.org/happyhour See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
