Havva Sevay: Success Is Feedback, Not Metrics—And the Power of Standing in Someone Else's Shoes Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "My success is not metrics or numbers—that was my controller past. I measure myself through feedback, and through team satisfaction." - Havva Sevay   As a former project controller, Havva could have defined success in numbers. Instead, she measures it through feedback and team satisfaction. As long as people keep talking to her—telling her how she can be a better Scrum Master—she considers that success, and she treats even hard feedback as learning. But the most striking part of her definition is the discipline of standing in someone else's shoes. When a developer suggested she'd give better advice if she understood programming, she took the Scrum Developer training—the hardest training she's ever done—just to feel the team's daily reality. Vasco connects it to coaching a team that builds tools for other teams: the role isn't to produce the system, it's to make the other teams' lives easier. Havva's takeaway for every Scrum Master: put your shoes in a different position. Understanding the work from the other person's perspective is what drives team success.   Self-reflection Question: How do you measure your own success as a Scrum Master—and when did you last experience your team's work from their perspective?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

The Birth of the Doggy Bag: From Wartime Thrift to Everyday RitualLong before paper sacks and foil swans appeared at the end of a meal, people found ways to carry food home. In ancient Rome, dinner guests often brought their own napkins, which served dual purposes: wiping hands and mouths between courses and, by around the sixth century BCE, wrapping leftover morsels to take away. The practice was practical in an era without refrigeration and socially acceptable, since hospitality included sharing abundance rather than discarding it. Similar customs appeared in other cultures, where leftovers might go to servants, the poor, or household animals. The modern doggy bag, however, is a distinctly American invention born of scarcity, pet ownership, and a polite fiction. The contemporary story begins in the 1940s United States during World War II. Food rationing and shortages made waste unpatriotic. Pet owners were encouraged to feed table scraps to dogs and cats when commercial pet food was scarce. Restaurants, however, had not yet standardized packaging for unfinished plates. In 1943, cafés in San Francisco began offering “Pet Pakits”—cartons diners could request for leftovers destined for Fido. Around the same time, hotels in Seattle provided wax-paper bags labeled “Bones for Bowser.” The idea spread: eateries across the country started providing similar containers, framed explicitly as a kindness to animals and a hedge against waste. The pretext was important. Asking for leftovers for personal consumption could signal stinginess or gluttony in an era when dining out still carried social weight. Claiming the food was “for the dog” offered cover. By the late 1940s the practice had a commercial backbone. One frequently cited origin points to Dan Stampler's Steak Joint on Greenwich Avenue in New York City. Customers requested bags for bones and scraps; Stampler responded with greaseproof bags featuring his Scottish terrier and the name “doggie bag.” Bagcraft Corporation of Chicago, founded around 1948 by Albert Meister and partners, manufactured these specialized containers and supplied restaurants more widely. Jane Meister later wrote a lighthearted poem printed on millions of bags: “Oh where, oh where have your leftovers gone? Oh where, oh where can they be? If you've had all you can possibly eat, Please bring the rest home to me!!” Other restaurants, including Lawry's the Prime Rib in Beverly Hills and the Old Homestead Steak House in New York, have also claimed early adoption of the concept or the name. The precise “first” is less important than the rapid diffusion. Early printed references to “Doggie Pack” or “Doggie Paks” appear by 1952; “doggy bag” itself surfaces in newspapers in the mid-1950s, with the Oxford English Dictionary citing evidence from 1957. Even as the bags proliferated, social acceptance lagged. Etiquette authorities remained wary. Emily Post's 1968 column declared she did not approve of taking leftover meat home from restaurants; doggy bags, she insisted, should be restricted to bones for pets. Many diners felt the same unease—requesting one could feel like admitting poverty or greed. Newspaper advice columns of the 1960s and 1970s received letters asking whether it was proper to ask for a bag if one did not actually own a dog. Economic pressure helped normalize the practice. Larger American portion sizes, rising food costs, and the inflation of the late 1970s made leaving food behind feel wasteful. A Pittsburgh columnist later dubbed 1980 “the year of the doggy bag.” High-end restaurants that once resisted gradually relented. By the 1980s and 1990s, the polite fiction largely dissolved: people openly took leftovers for tomorrow's lunch.

Most small business owners don't realize they've built a job instead of a business – and they find out the hard way when it's time to sell. Lynn Bowser and Drew Webster of Elevate Strategy and Consulting join Jeff to explain why a company doing $10 million in revenue can be worth $1.5 million, while a $1.5 million company can be worth far more.Lynn and Drew get into what they call the "accidental CEO" problem – the attorney, dentist, or med spa owner who suddenly has 20 employees and never went to business school – plus where profit quietly bleeds out, why handing the business to your kid or your employees is riskier than it sounds, and Drew's rule for the whole thing: build a business you could sell tomorrow, but don't want to.Learn more:https://www.elevatescgroup.com/Hosted by:Jeff HammBest Lake Norman NC Realtorhttps://lknreal.com/Support the show

Episode 637: The Longest Win Streak in Modern Franchise History Has Finally Been Snapped The Red Sox took two out of three against the Orioles and tied the franchise record for most consecutive wins. The 15-game winning streak has breathed new life into the 2026 season. As Dave O'Brien put it, “We have our summer back.” Jared, Coley, Steve, and Tyler break down all the ramifications of this historic stretch, including Craig Breslow's newfound job security, the budding friendship between Willson Contreras and Caleb Durbin, and ideas for trade targets to bolster the team's playoff chances in October. Tyler brings the vibes down with a negative update on ace Garrett Crochet, then the guys discuss a potential playoff rematch against last year's Wild Card opponent and what their hypothetical plans would look like. They wrap up the show by talking about Dennis Eckersley's half-inning return to the broadcast booth, the heater O'Brien has been on lately, and their shared love for Lou Merloni.

After Rebirth, I'm gonna switch to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, followed by Mina the Hollower and then Hades and Chained Echoes OctoRock_1982 — 6/28/2026 2:51 PM I finally got to dig into Mina The Hollower. I'm about 15 hours in and having the time of my life. The game scratches such a specific type of itch for me, and I'm sure would do the same for veteran gamers of a certain era. It somehow feels authentically retro and yet wholly unique at the same time. As much as the game is touted as a top down Zelda-like, it borrows just as much DNA from the likes of NES games like Dragon Warrior, StarTropics, Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden. So, as you might expect, I'm in heaven playing this game.   Trey — 6/28/2026 3:02 PM I bounced onto starfox and castlevania harmony of dissonance since getting the gba castlevania double pack last week. It's my first castlevania and my first starfox 64 playthrough! I hope to return to Mina the hollower after but rhythm heaven is coming soon!   BeerBierCerveza [nDAD],  — 6/28/2026 3:58 PM I've been playing through the games in the Resident Evil bundle. Finished Requiem, then played through biohazard, and I just rolled credits on village this weekend. All of these games were amazing! I was certain at least one of the games in the bundle was going to be a dud, but I was wrong. Requiem is definitely a contender for GOTY!   Drex1981 [ARC],  — 6/28/2026 4:39 PM I've been playing the New Star Fox remake which has been really good. Also Marathon, Dispatch, Mario Kart world, and Final Fantasy 6 for my snes. And also Street Fighter 6 I've been competing in Tournaments   Your Wallet's Ambassador — 6/28/2026 6:46 PM I've been playing Super Mario Galaxy, trying to get to 242 stars as quickly as possible for Retro Rewind. I've also been playing an Archipelago run with some college friends, where I'm playing Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Episode 627: A series win for the Red Sox feels like a confusing process in 2026. Stories about the Sox have given the guys plenty of news to react to, and the latest batch continues to highlight just how dysfunctional the front office has become. Sam Kennedy's quotes about selling in early June brought the reality of the season into sharp focus, leaving the boys asking whether simply winning series is what fans should even want for the rest of the year. The team's recent form won't stop Jared, Steve, and Tyler from heading to AMB. They recap their latest Fenway Friday experience—including an interview that will be released soon! Trade rumors continue to swirl, highlighted by Aroldis Chapman calling out Yankees GM Brian Cashman. Willson Contreras has carried the Red Sox on his back all season, and the crew weighs the risk of trading him while he still has control left on his contract. The Tartan Army's takeover of Fenway during Sunday Night Baseball took center stage, sparking a plea to bring them back for the next series against the Blue Jays. Stevie Stats drops some eye-popping numbers that may cause early-onset baldness, and for the first time in a long time, the Klark's Ketchup MVP is handed out. 00:00:00 - Section 10 Discord, Elite00:03:36 - AMB Fridays00:07:33 - An Interesting Sighting at Fenway00:12:41 - Sam Kennedy's Quotes | Do We Want Sam on The 10?

In this week's episode, I take a look at the movies and streaming shows I watched in Spring 2026, and rate them from least to most favorite. This coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Dragontiarna series at my Payhip store: DRAGONJUNE The coupon code is valid through June 15, 2026. So if you need a new ebook this summer, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 305 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is May 29th, 2026 and today we'll be discussing my Spring Movie Review Roundup for 2026, where I discuss the movies and streaming shows I watched over the last few months. We will also have Coupon of the Week and a progress update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Dragontiarna series at my Payhip store. That coupon code is DRAGONJUNE. And as always, you get the coupon code and the links in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code will be valid through June the 15th, 2026. So if you need a new ebook for this summer, we have got you covered. Now let's move on to my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. As I mentioned last week, Dragon-Mage is out and you can get it at Amazon and Kindle Unlimited and it's doing well, so thank you for that. My next main project is Blade of Thieves and as of this recording, I am on chapter 11 of 25, though that'll probably expand in the final draft, which puts me at 56,000 words in. So I'm almost halfway through. I think probably it's going to be the length of Blade of Wraiths or a little longer, but we'll see. I'm hoping to have it out towards the end of June, but depending on how June goes, that might slip till July. Hopefully we can avoid that. I'm also 5,000 words into Cloak of Frost and that will be my main project once Blade of Thieves is done. I'm hoping to have Cloak of Frost out towards the end of July, but depending on how June goes, it might slip to August. For audiobook projects, Blade of Wraiths is still processing at ACX, though I believe as of right now, you can get it at Google Play, Kobo, Spotify, and my own Payhip store. The other stores should be available within a few weeks. As of right now, I don't actually have any current audiobooks in production, though we have some scheduled for the future. Once Blade of Thieves is finally done, Brad Wills will record that for us. Hollis McCarthy is scheduled to record Cloak of Worlds in June, if all goes well. Leanne Woodward will be recording Dragon-Mage sometime in July, if all goes well. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. Hopefully we'll have new things for you to read and listen to before much longer. 00:02:32 Main Topic: Spring 2026 Movie Review Roundup Now without any further ado, let's move on to our main topic, my Spring 2026 Movie Review Roundup. It's time for the Spring 2026 Movie Review Roundup, where I review the movies and streaming shows I watched over the last few months. As always, they're listed from least favorite to most favorite. The grades are wholly subjective and based on nothing more than my own opinions and thoughts. With that disclaimer out of the way, let's go to the movies. First up is Kicking and Screaming, which came out in 2005. This is a family comedy with Will Ferrell and Robert Duvall. Pharrell plays Phil Weston, a mild mannered vitamin store owner and Duvall plays his father, Buck Weston, owner of a successful chain of sports equipment stores. Buck is one of those hyper competitive guys who has to win at everything and Phil has always rolled with it. But when Phil's son is a benchwarmer on the youth soccer team that Buck coaches, Phil's had enough and starts coaching a rival team to get his son into the game and to defeat his father. Along the way, of course, he descends into Will Ferrell style comedic lunacy, but the PG version since this is a PG movie. Mike Ditka was also hilarious as Phil's sidekick and assistant coach. It seemed like an '80s family movie. It was a sort of movie where you could have taken the entire family to the theater in 2005 and everyone would have been at least moderately entertained. Overall Grade: C Next up is the animated Lord of the Rings, which came out in 1978. As I mentioned, this was the animated version of Lord of the Rings from 1978. Extremely ambitious, but I think it's fair to say this landed in ambitious failure territory, but they tried the best they could given the constraints of the technology at the time and the actual available budget. They tried to pack the entirety of the Fellowship of the Ring and the first half of The Two Towers into about two hours and 20 minutes. I'm sorry to say it just didn't work. Like Dune, the Lord of the Rings is one of those books that requires like 10 hours of very expensive filmmaking to pull off properly. That said, I think it is fair to say that this stumbled so that the Peter Jackson live action trilogy could run. Adapting a book (especially a big book) into a movie is a challenge and I don't think this quite got there. Too much was cut out and if you hadn't read the book, you would probably have no idea what was happening or just been confused the entire time. Additionally, the movie relied heavily on rotoscoping and it didn't always quite work. Like the rotoscope Nazgul looked creepy and unsettling, so that worked for them. However, the rotoscoped orcs just looked bad. You know how in live theater stagehands will dress all in black? The orcs kind of looked like that, albeit they're wearing yellow ponchos over their black stagehand outfits, almost like the stagehands were expecting inclement weather backstage. That said, the vocal performances and the music were very good. So an ambitious and admirable failure. As I said, I think the filmmaker's vision exceeded the grasp of their budget and the available technology of the 1970s. Overall Grade: C Next up is Airplane!, which came out in 1980. It was interesting to watch this as a cultural artifact. It had the leisurely pace of an '80s movie, with far more absurdist humor. It was a parody of various airplane disaster movies from the 1970s. It's also interesting that this is remembered as a Leslie Nielsen movie nowadays, though Leslie Nielsen 's character is only a supporting character. For all that he's known for his absurdist humor these days from later movies, Nielsen plays his character stone cold dead straight, which makes him all the funnier, amazingly enough. Some of the jokes in this movie have aged very badly, but it's still worth watching as an interesting and amusing cultural artifact, given how it influenced the entire genre of comedy movies afterwards. There's also the obligatory three seconds of nudity that can get cut on cable TV broadcast. Overall Grade: B- Next up is the Thomas Crown Affair, which came out in 1999. This is an interesting remake of a movie from the 1960s. Pierce Brosnan plays Thomas Crown, a billionaire who has grown bored with his life, so he orchestrates the theft of a priceless Monet painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The heist goes off flawlessly and the museum's insurance company sends out investigator Catherine Banning (played by Renee Russo) to retrieve the painting and avoid a hundred million dollar insurance payout. Banning immediately intuits that Crown is the thief and sets about to find the painting. This investigation is complicated by the fact that Crown and Banning immediately develop a strong attraction and start an affair. It was interesting to watch since neither Crown nor Banning are particularly sympathetic characters. In 2026, the phrase "bored New York billionaire" has much more sinister connotations than it did in 1999 and Banning breaks all kinds of laws and sleeping with her target is not a particularly bright idea. That said, the opening heist was interesting and Crown's final gambit to return the painting was extremely clever and enjoyable to watch. So overall, I like the movie, but there's still way too much nudity. Cable broadcasts are probably like 10 minutes shorter than the actual runtime from cutting it all out. Overall Grade: B- Next up is Whiskey Galore, which came out in 2017 and this is a remake of the original Whiskey Galore from 1949. Honestly, this is exactly the same movie from 1949 that I watched in the Movie Review Roundup for Summer 2025, just updated with modern filmmaking techniques. If the movie makers in the '40s could have done it this way, they would have. Though I would recommend watching the 1949 one first and then the one from 2017. Overall Grade: B Next up is Super Mario Galaxy, which came out in 2026. And I have to admit, it felt a little strange to be the oldest person at the theater watching Super Mario Galaxy, but I've been playing Mario games since before any of these kids were born, so I think I had a right to be there. Anyway, I would say this movie is about 75% as good as the first one. It was a little overpacked and the plot wasn't quite as tight, but it's still fun to watch. The animation was excellent and I enjoyed all the callbacks to the various Mario games and since I haven't actually played all the Mario games (as a reminder, I played no console games of any kind between 1998 and 2019), I'm sure there were quite a few I missed. The plot is that Bowser Jr is coming to rescue his father, Bowser, who's been held captive since the end of the last movie. To power his doomsday weapon, Junior kidnaps Princess Rosalina and Princess Peach goes to rescue her while Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi stay to protect the Mushroom Kingdom. Their separate subplots will end up crossing when Bowser Jr. invades the Mushroom Kingdom to get Bowser. Glen Powell was an excellent choice to voice Fox McCloud. I'd say if you could imagine a movie that the audience would enjoy and the critics would hate, you'd end up with Super Mario Galaxy. Since that appears to be what happened to the tune of $970 million, it appears that metaphor was accurate. Also, to be less glib, "movies you can take your kids to" do serve a valuable social function (in my opinion). Overall Grade: B Next up is the Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins, which came out in 2026. This was a comedy with a fun premise. Reggie Dinkins (played by Tracy Morgan) was an elite NFL player who got bounced out of the league for placing bets on himself. Years later, he teams up with an indie filmmaker named Arthur Tobin (played by Daniel Radcliffe), to make a documentary to rehabilitate his image. However, Tobin has his own issues. He has an Oscar, but after the Oscar, he got hired to direct a Marvel movie and cracked under the pressure. He and Reggie have to go on a journey to recover their reputations. I thought this was a pretty funny sitcom. Tracy Morgan is a comedic natural, but Daniel Radcliffe turned out to be an excellent comedic actor as well. He was great in that Weird Al biopic a few years ago and he's very funny in this. Craig Robinson was also great as Jerry Basmati, Reggie's sleazy nemesis. Overall Grade: B+ Next up is The Mandalorian and Grogu, which came out in 2026. I enjoyed this. It was like three pretty good episodes of The Mandalorian show put together. The end result was an adventure movie that kind of reminded me of the best of 1980s fantasy and sci-fi movies with a lot of creature work and a lot of action scenes. For an extended stretch of the movie, Grogu takes over as the primary protagonist, and given that Grogu is a very expensive puppet, that's an impressive feat. The plot picks up from the end of The Mandalorian show. The Mandalorian and his adopted son Grogu are now working for the New Republic, helping to hunt down Imperial warlords. Mando gets assigned to hunt down in a mysterious Imperial warlord named Commander Coin, but the only people who have information on Coin's location are the Twins, a pair of Hutt crime lords and relatives of Jabba the Hutt from Return of the Jedi. The Twins are willing to give up Coin's location if Mando does a job for them, but as Han Solo could have warned Mando, working for the Hutts is not a good idea. I was surprised that the reviews for this movie were as mixed as they were, but I suspect that's a combination of three social factors: Number one, cumulative ill will towards Disney as a corporation, which has done numerous sketchy things in the 2020s. I think something similar happened with Microsoft and Starfield. Number two, the lingering bad aftertaste of the sequel trilogy and number three, the tendency of the hardcore Star Wars fandom to chronically overthink things. Overall Grade: B+ Next up is the animated Hobbit, which came out in 1977. Peter Jackson's Hobbit Trilogy from the 2010 famously stretched The Hobbit across three movies, which really didn't work and added a bunch of epic battle scenes, which was totally off for what was essentially a children's book. The animated 1977 version of The Hobbit, by contrast, went in a different direction, neatly adapting it down to 70 minutes or so, presumably because animation is very expensive. At the time, this got mixed reviews, but looking back nearly 50 years later, I think we can appreciate it more because of the sheer amount of work that goes into hand-drawn animation. Like computer-based animation is unquestionably a lot of work as well, but hand-drawn animation is on something of a higher level in terms of difficulty, in my opinion. That said, I think this adaptation did a better job of compressing the story down than the animated Lord of the Rings movie I mentioned earlier in this episode. There's also a lot of 1970s style folk singing-like a LOT. I suspect J.R.R. Tolkien would have hated every single adaptation ever made of any of his works (with perhaps the exception of the audiobooks), but he would have approved of the number of songs and poetry in this. Though it was amusing that the high elves in this movie sing in a '70s folk music style. It would be humorous if in the Silmarillion, Earnedil the Mariner had finally crossed the Sundering Seas to reach Valinor and appeal the aid of the Valar against Morgoth and his hordes, only to hear '70 style folk music echoing across the shining hills of the Undying Lands. Anyway, it's definitely worth watching this if you like The Hobbit or old style animation. Overall Grade: A- Next up is House of David Season 2, which came out in 2026. I wrestled with what grade to give this because it used a lot of AI for the big battle scene in episode one and as long time readers and listeners know, I do not generally approve of LLM generated slop. Ironically, I think episode one, the big battle sequence with all the AI, was definitely the weakest point of the entire second season. Everything else was better. That said, all the character drama and interactions and acting were really good, which amusingly shows that while LLM stuff can generate blurry scenes of mounted soldiers charging at night, the real human emotion comes from, well, real human emotion. Anyway, this picks right up from the end of Season 1, right after David kills Goliath, which means it takes place during most of the events with the third quarter of the book of 1 Samuel from the Bible. David becomes one of the chief commanders of King Saul, but David is secretly the anointed king of Israel. Saul's deteriorating mental state becomes threatening to David while Saul's children scheme for position (with the exception of Jonathan, who has accepted that God has chosen David as the next king of Israel) and the Philistines prepare for war against Israel. It is interesting how the show alternates between leaning into the Grimdark aspects of life in the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age and avoiding them. Like, constant warfare was a fact of life for a Mesopotamian king around 1000 BC. But the show also shows David as having passionate romantic love for Saul's daughter Michal and in the Bible, David ended up with at least eight wives that we know about (there were likely others) and an unnamed number of concubines. So late Bronze Age/early Iron Age monarchs were not likely to have been in the grips of fervent romantic love. Though based on the Psalms he wrote, David seems to have been a man who definitely was in touch with his emotions and quite possibly he would have passionately loved multiple women at the same time. Anyway, I enjoyed the show. While I am not an expert, I probably have a higher than average level of Old Testament knowledge. So when the show expanded on something from 1 Samuel (such as the role of Doeg, the murderous Edomite shepherd), I could see where they were coming from. Or the subplot where Jonathan falls in love with an Israelite woman since in the Bible, David took care of Jonathan's son, Mephibosheth, logically, Jonathan had a wife at some point. Related to that as Saul continues his descent, in a moment of rage in 1 Samuel, he calls Jonathan "the son of a perverse and rebellious woman" and the show has a subplot explaining how Saul came to see Queen Ahinoam as a "perverse and rebellious woman". So I enjoyed this and will definitely watch Season 3 when it comes along. That said, the opening battle with the AI generated battle scenes is still definitely the weakest part of the series, though. Overall Grade: A- Next up is Maul: Shadow Lord, which came out in 2026. And in my opinion, this was pretty good. I think he could call the plot Sith Noir. Maul, desiring vengeance against the Emperor for all the pain he has endured, has decided to rebuild his criminal syndicate (previously destroyed in the Clone Wars) and use it to bring down the Empire. Meanwhile, Captain Lawson, a detective on a minor world, is trying to rebuild his relationship with his teenage son and keep his career afloat. This becomes tricky when a pair of fugitive Jedi fleeing from the Inquisitors turn up on their world. But in the younger of the two Jedi, Maul sees a potential apprentice for himself, one he could corrupt to the dark side. The animation has improved by quantum leaps and bounds since the days of the Clone War show. The lighting and the shadows are excellent. Maul looks spooky and a little uncanny. The lightsaber fights are quick and fluid. No spoilers, but the final episode is absolutely excellent. I also think one of the best things about the Star Wars animation shows is how Maul's character has evolved from simply the cool swordsmen at the end of The Phantom Menace to a sympathetic yet still evil warrior-philosopher, a tragic figure whose every effort always contains the seeds of its own downfall. Overall Grade: A Next up is Emma, which came out in 2020. This is an excellent adaptation of the Jane Austen's novel. Good performances, good cinematography, and it captures the essence of the novel quite well and it's probably a must for Austen fans to see. I don't really have anything negative to say about it, say that it has the three seconds of unnecessary nudity that can be cut in cable broadcasts. Ironically, and quite amusingly, that three seconds of nudity is quite literally the only thing this movie has in common with Airplane!. Overall Grade: A Next up is No Packers, No Life, which came out in 2025. This was a fun documentary about a group of Japanese Green Bay Packers fans. Obviously, there are fairly large cultural and linguistic divides between the United States and Japan, so American football is not hugely popular in Japan. However, the Green Bay Packers are the only community owned team in the NFL to this day and so they're quite a bit more sympathetic than one that's owned by a faceless billionaire. Anyway, an American businessman goes to Japan and stumbles across a Japanese man wearing a Packers jersey at a bar. From there, he learns of a small club called the Japanese Packers Cheering Team that gathered to watch Packers games. This businessman in question happened to be from Wisconsin, so he befriended the Japanese Packers Cheering Team and invited them to Green Bay for a game. The invitation snowballed and so the entire club and their families arrived to watch the game. Sports fandom really isn't one of my interests, so it's always interesting to look at it from the outside. That said, this was an enjoyable documentary about cross-cultural communication at its best. Overall Grade: A Let's close out this episode with my favorite thing I saw in spring 2026, which was Project Hail Mary, which came out in 2026. This is another "science man solves space problem that saves the day with math and science", type science fiction adventure like The Martian, though some new twists on the formula. Dr. Ryland Grace wakes up alone on a spaceship with all the other crew dead and no memory of how he got there. Gradually, he partially remembers and works out that he is part of Project Hail Mary, a last ditch effort to stop Earth's sun from dimming due to an extremophile organism called the Astrophage. Only one other star in Earth's stellar neighborhood was showing no signs of Astrophage infection, so Grace's ship was sent there on a suicide mission to try and recover some means of defeating the Astrophage. While there, he encounters an alien ship with a sole survivor and he slowly works out how to communicate with the alien, who he dubs Rocky. It turns out Rocky's people sent him there on a mission to solve the Astrophage problem as well and together Grace and Rocky try to work out how to save their respective home worlds. Quite enjoyable and worth seeing. At the time I typed this in March of 2026, it was the highest-grossing movie of 2026 and I think it deserved that, though it did eventually get overtaken by Super Mario Galaxy. Overall Grade: A I suppose that was an eclectic range of movies, wasn't it? Interestingly, I actually saw three of them in theaters: Project Hail Mary, Super Mario Galaxy, and The Mandalorian and Grogu, so I went to the theater three times in three months. I think that's the most I've been to the movie theater in a single year in the entirety of the 2020s. So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show.

In this week's episode, we speak with Dr. Rachel Bowser of Agnes Scott College about redefining AI fluency as a core component of a liberal arts education. Rather than focusing on technical skills alone, they explore how teaching students to critically evaluate AI—understanding its biases, limitations, and role in learning—can strengthen their ability to think, question, and make meaning. The conversation also highlights how embedding AI literacy alongside experiential learning—like global travel and workplace immersion—creates more equitable, high-impact opportunities for students. Ultimately, it's a call for institutions to shift from gatekeeping knowledge to expanding access, ensuring all students are equipped to navigate an AI-driven world with confidence and curiosity.

Send us Fan MailThe Super Mario Bros Movie is the kind of film that can make you feel eight years old again and also make you ask, “Wait, is that all it wanted to be?” We jump into our full review with the stuff that matters to longtime Nintendo fans: the decision to start Mario and Luigi in Brooklyn, the joy of seeing the Mushroom Kingdom in crisp modern animation, and the constant stream of references that try to trigger that old-school Mario magic.We get specific about what works and what doesn't. Jack Black's Bowser is an easy highlight, especially once “Peaches” enters the chat, and we talk about why that moment feels more memorable than a lot of the movie's dialogue. We also dig into voice casting and character choices, from Charlie Day's Luigi energy to the debate around Chris Pratt's Mario and whether Seth Rogen's Donkey Kong pulls you out of the world. Along the way, we nerd out about Luigi's Mansion potential, the Mario Kart sequence, and the film's funniest curveball character.Then we go bigger: what should a great video game adaptation aim for in 2026 and beyond? We compare Illumination's kid-forward style to the DreamWorks approach, with Shrek as the measuring stick for an animated movie that truly serves adults and kids at the same time. If you've been searching for a clear Super Mario Bros Movie podcast review, a take on Nintendo lore, or a thoughtful debate about nostalgia versus storytelling, you'll fit right in.Subscribe for more geek culture deep dives, share this with the friend who still knows every Mario sound effect, and leave us a five-star review if you want to support the show.

Welcome to another episode of Death Don't Do Fiction, the AIPT Movies podcast! The podcast about the enduring legacy of our favorite movies! It's April, so that means it's time for our “No EscApril” series, where we celebrate the wonder of thrillers! Not quite horror, not quite action, that sweet spot in the middle where danger is afoot, and lives are still on the line! In this week's episode, Alex, Tim, and guest K-Tron discuss Brian De Palma's 1984 entry in the “pro-peeping tom propaganda” subgenre, Body Double! Excessive voyeurism! Open disdain for subtlety! Inept cops! A hotdog-shaped hotdog store! A bizarre and touchy acting class/therapy session! Troy McClure's weird Chemosphere house from The Simpsons! An insane Frankie Goes To Hollywood music video in the middle of the movie! Hide and seek-related trauma! A claustrophobic sardine who can't scream! A platinum blonde 80s vampire! Motion sickness-inducing bed drinking! A blatantly labeled door! Cultural insensitivity! A dizzying and confusing makeout session! A disturbing drill with a surprisingly short power cord! The Gone with the Wind of adult films!  A random Nostromo hat from Alien! R-rated end credits! Rear projection and matte paintings! Great cinematography and camerawork, including several split diopter shots! An excellent musical score from Pino Donaggio! A fun cast that includes Dennis Franz, Barbara Crampton in her first role, Craig Wasson being convincingly pervy, and a fearless Melanie Griffith! All that and more in this unapologetically 80s thriller that explores the seedy underbelly of Hollywood, and may be the pinnacle of HitchSchlock! In addition, Tim recommends Sam Raimi's Send Help, K-Tron discusses the trippy 1961 film The Mask, while Alex gives his spoiler-free thoughts on Lee Cronin's The Mummy, the new Faces of Death, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and the Netflix shark thriller Thrash!

For Episode 202, we're heading to another galaxy with Mario and Luigi. That's right, we had to dive into the latest from the Nintendo world with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. We're joined by Lisa (ReelMovieLovers) and Dave (Brickwall Review) to break it all down. We show love to the one and only Jake Black for what he brings to Bowser, and we get into a big discussion about the film's pacing, did it try to do too much, or did it strike the right balance? We were split on that one, so we want to hear what you think. Of course, we had to talk about Mario landing himself in the “friend zone,” plus that Star Fox cameo… which wasn't all that surprising. Sometimes, certain things are better left unspoiled before a film drops. The crew dives into all of it and as always, we close things out with the big question, Was It Good Though?Be sure to like and subscribe!

Burnie and Ashley discuss Monty Pyhton, cease fire theter, anti-paleontology rhetoric, Richter units, Bowser heritage, arch support, BAFTA games, Expedition 33, Atomfall, and the Windscale nuclear disaster.

DC is a big city, but did you know that it's actually illegal to build anything other than a suburban-style house in most of it? According to today's guest David Alpert, that's one reason housing is so expensive in Washington. Alpert has spent years advocating for rewriting the rules, and this month, he's among the folks who are bitterly disappointed that the Bowser administration's land-use map for the next couple decades is basically the same as the one we've had since the 20th century. He's here to explain what happened and where things go from here. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC.

Released on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, the film earned $34.5 million on its domestic opening day from 3,821 theaters, claiming the #1 opening day of 2026. It surpassed Project Hail Mary ($33.1M) and the first Super Mario Bros. Movie ($31M–$31.7M). Globally, the movie collected $68.4 million on day one, with $33.9 million from international markets across 78 territories. International highlights include record-breaking performances in Mexico ($6.7M, biggest Universal animated opening ever), the UK & Ireland ($4.3M), Germany ($3.8M, biggest animated opening of all time), Spain ($3.0M), and France ($2.9M). Additional strong openings were recorded in Central America, Italy, Colombia, Australia, and Austria. Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, the film features the voice talents of Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Donald Glover as Yoshi, and Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr. With a $110 million production budget, the movie is projected to reach break-even around $275 million and is expected to turn a profit within its opening weekend. Domestic 5-day opening weekend projections range from $186M studio estimate to $190M–$200M tracking. Global opening is forecasted at $350M–$375M. These figures position The Super Mario Galaxy Movie to challenge or match the first film's strong launch, which ultimately grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide. This segment breaks down the day-one numbers, key market performances, family film industry trends, Gen Alpha audience behavior, and the broader implications for theatrical animated franchises in 2026.  Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Playing happens in boundaries. Whether it’s poetry, the playground, or praying the Psalms: things get interesting when we explore the edges.

It finally happened. After years of aerial photographs, land speculation, and breathless anticipation, Mike and EB walk through the gates of Universal Epic Universe — and it does not disappoint.   Well, mostly. Stardust Racers is still closed, Yoshi's Adventure is aggressively just a Yoshi that meanders, and someone on Twitter says the whole thing might need to be torn down. But other than that? Top five park day. Tom from Louisville said so himself, and Tom from Louisville has been to a lot of parks.   Mike and EB go portal by portal through the whole thing — 1920s Paris at Ministry of Magic (280-minute wait; they waited 20. We said what we said.), Le Cirque Arcanus with the magic tent that's bigger on the inside, Bowser's Challenge being better than advertised, Donkey Kong Country being exactly as fun as a cartoon mine cart should be, Hiccup's Wing Gliders being a surprise contender for ride of the trip, and Monsters Unchained delivering actual honest-to-God jump scares in a theme park.   They also discovered that the Burning Blade Tavern serves drinks in a beaker with what may or may not be microplastics in it. It was delicious.   Plus: Seven Six Flags parks are sold for $342 million — less than the cost of a highway overpass. Disney's parks get a new worldwide president, and they hope he lives long enough to be a hero. Muppet Vision 3D is going to VR, a decision that exactly zero people are satisfied with. And Barracuda Strike opens at SeaWorld San Antonio — the family invert where the artwork shows the track going underwater, but the track does not go underwater.

Jim Hill and Drew Taylor are back together after Drew's birthday escape to Palm Springs, and they've got plenty of animation news to talk about. Pixar has its biggest ever box office for an original film opening, Pete Docter's Wall Street Journal interview takes an odd turn but at least they have a musical on the way, and of course there are the Old Spice marketing tie-ins to the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy movie that want you to smell like Bowser.
