DopeyCon Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2345507Save $15 on Patreon: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastEpisode summaryThis week on the Wednesday Dose! Jason Biggs returns to Dopey for a funny, unusually vulnerable conversation about recovery, fatherhood, separation and learning to surrender control. Jason discusses the pressure of making his directorial debut, Untitled Home Invasion Romance, and why directing sober was one of the most stressful experiences of his life.He retraces the relapses that preceded his nearly nine years of sobriety—including secretly drinking, a major cocaine relapse and the final bottle of wine he chugged shortly after bringing his second child home from the hospital. The following morning, a chance encounter with Michael Alago helped bring him back to AA.Jason and Dave also get into Dave's relentless pursuit of celebrity guests, Jason Mewes asking Dave to stop texting him, Steve-O, Marc Maron, pink cocaine, Quaaludes, ecstasy, underground sex parties, gambling addiction and the indignities of trying to exercise in middle age.The conversation becomes especially personal when Jason talks about navigating separation while protecting his children and remaining sober. He explains why his meeting attendance has declined, how sober friends have supported him and why accepting that he is not in control remains central to his spirituality. They finish with an honest discussion about ketamine and psychedelics in recovery, prescription painkillers, Brad Pitt's return to drinking, Shannon Elizabeth's OnlyFans and whether Jason might appear at DopeyCon.All that and a tiny bit more on this week's wednesday dose of dopey!

Lern was supposed to stay at a Dolly Parton-themed hotel.That sentence alone sounds magical.Unfortunately, the hotel wasn't finished.After booking the Nashville stay months in advance for a trip surrounding the Foo Fighters, Lern and Tim learned shortly before arriving that their Dolly accommodations still weren't ready for actual human beings. The hotel staff was extremely accommodating — because apparently that's the Dolly way — and offered to help them find somewhere else.Lern eventually landed in an Airbnb.Which is convenient, because this funny show immediately turns into a discussion about Airbnbs that would make most reasonable people sleep in their cars instead.The crew discovers you can stay in the actual Pennsylvania house used as Buffalo Bill's home in The Silence of the Lambs. It's in Perryopolis, a town name that Moon and Rafe immediately decide needs to be investigated for crimes against geography.Perryville?Too normal.Perry Town?Not enough grandeur.Perryopolis?Now we're cooking.And the house itself has gone completely all-in.The basement scenes involving Buffalo Bill's infamous well weren't originally filmed there, so naturally the current owner had a replica constructed inside the house. Guests can climb into it, take pictures and apparently even propose marriage from inside the pit, because nothing says “spend forever with me” like recreating a serial killer's basement.There's also a motion-activated disco ball that plays “Goodbye Horses.”Worth the trip.Throw in themed packages, horror memorabilia, an arcade, a pool table and hundreds of horror movies on DVD and VHS, and suddenly the crew is seriously considering a group vacation to Perryopolis.Lern is absolutely sleeping there.Devon apparently wants the well.Everybody seems surprisingly comfortable with this.From haunted vacation rentals, the conversation makes the completely natural transition into karaoke — specifically, songs you should absolutely NOT attempt unless your goal is public humiliation.The crew runs through a ranking of brutally difficult karaoke choices, including “I Will Always Love You,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Dream On,” “Take On Me,” “Chandelier,” “Somebody to Love,” “Emotions,” “Barracuda,” “We Didn't Start the Fire,” “Informer,” “Purple Rain,” “Chop Suey!” and several other songs requiring vocal abilities that Chad from accounting simply does not possess.Lern and Rafe argue that terrible karaoke is actually the point.Nobody wants to watch twelve consecutive musical-theater kids nail obscure Broadway songs like they're auditioning for a touring production.We want danger.We want confidence unsupported by talent.We want somebody three drinks deep suddenly deciding they can sing System of a Down.That is entertainment.Rizz, meanwhile, treats karaoke like The Voice, mentally turning his chair whenever somebody actually pulls off the impossible.And yes, the crew demonstrates some of these songs themselves.You're welcome.The conversation also uncovers another deeply unfair fact about Alan Ritchson: apparently Jack Reacher can sing, too.Being enormous and handsome was already plenty, sir.Leave something for everybody else.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, and the funny show dives directly into entertainment chaos.Benny Blanco's relationship advice basically comes down to understanding your partner, communicating and not being a jerk — an apparently revolutionary romantic strategy.The crew talks Ella Langley's massive chart success, Kacey Musgraves, Stevie Nicks opening up about her history with cocaine and Klonopin, Tony Iommi reportedly passing on another Black Sabbath album and Moon explaining why producer Andrew Watt's willingness to throw endless ideas around can be such an asset in the studio.John Carpenter's admiration for Metallica also sparks speculation about how his visual style could fit with a giant immersive production.Which brings us to the Sphere.Who's next?Metallica?Oasis?Coldplay?Nope.Oprah.The show discusses Oprah Winfrey bringing an immersive production to the Las Vegas Sphere, and initially nobody can figure out what that is supposed to look like.Giant Oprah?Inspirational quotes covering 160,000 square feet?“You get a Sphere! YOU get a Sphere!”But then Moon discovers musician Jacob Collier is involved and executes one of the fastest opinion reversals in show history.Suddenly, he's in.Completely in.Moon launches into an enthusiastic defense of Collier's musicianship and creativity while everybody else tries to figure out how the conversation went from mocking Oprah at the Sphere to Moon volunteering hundreds of dollars for tickets.That's growth.Or something.Celebrity chaos continues with Stagecoach talk, Florida Georgia Line, the Emmys, Reba's Dolly Parton tribute, Dave Chappelle's announced tour and Martha Stewart apparently considering releasing nude photos.Which, naturally, gives Rafe the opportunity to invite everyone to “Martha's Vineyard.”We apologize.Things briefly get much more serious when the show discusses a reported death possibly involving a counterfeit oxycodone pill containing fentanyl. The crew talks about the danger of counterfeit pills and the importance of Narcan, including the need to call 911 and the possibility that multiple doses may be necessary in an opioid overdose.Then celebrity family drama arrives with a discussion about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's children dropping Pitt from their names, leading to a larger conversation about family relationships, famous last names and the obvious reality that none of us actually knows what happens inside somebody else's home.Finally, the episode becomes an accidental soundtrack debate.What are the greatest songs ever attached to movies?What are the worst?Titanic. Dirty Dancing. Saturday Night Fever. Rocky. Philadelphia. Frozen. Wild Wild West. The Three Musketeers. An American Tail.Moon gets emotionally invested in Fievel.Lern would like everyone to return to Patrick Swayze.Rafe remembers the reign of terror that was Bryan Adams.And somewhere along the way, Pitbull gets accused of reminding everybody that he's Mr. Worldwide in every song like he's legally required to provide identification.So yes, this episode starts with Dolly Parton hospitality, travels to Buffalo Bill's basement, crashes a karaoke bar, discovers Jack Reacher can sing, sends Oprah to the Sphere and ends up debating whether Fievel has been given the musical respect he deserves.Exactly the kind of funny show where nobody knows where the conversation is going — especially the people having it.Welcome to Perryopolis.Please put the lotion in the basket before checkout.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

TJ Majors joins Door Bumper Clear for a mini reunion to break down a wild one at St. Louis as the guys react to Kyle Larson finally ending his winless streak, the strategy call that helped put him in Victory Lane, and everything that went sideways throughout an 18-caution race.The crew also has plenty to say about St. Louis' pit road and spotter stand, why the track's current pit road setup creates some serious problems, and whether NASCAR needs to make some changes before coming back.Plus, the guys discuss Carson Hocevar's interaction with fans on the frontstretch, Tommy and Freddie just won't agree over who was at fault for Bubba Wallace's wreck off turn two, and Reaction Theatre disses Freddie again.Buckle up, this show might be more chaotic than Sunday's race.

With just ¼ of 2026 left, Neil, David, Jose and Luke take a look at the films still coming to cinemas for the rest of the year — the ones we're genuinely excited about, the ones we've somehow never heard of, and the ones we have absolutely NO interest in seeing and should be immediately fired into the sun.There's Brad Pitt and a dog, Andrew Garfield fighting peasants as Wat Tyler (although apparently someone briefly thought he was Robin Hood?), a man getting swallowed by an 80-foot sperm whale, stop-motion emotional devastation, KAIJUS, video game adaptations, horror, superheroes, anniversary screenings and a whole lot more.And we're not doing it alone! We've also taken your comments and messages into account, with our viewers and listeners telling us which films THEY are looking forward to seeing at the cinema before the end of 2026.Then, as if that wasn't enough, each of us picks our Top 3 films we're most excited to see before the end of the year — so which films made the cut?And then, on December 18th, two tiny little indie films nobody has heard of are coming out...Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday.It's going to be a busy few months at the cinema.Find out what we're watching in the latest episode of We Needed Roads!If you enjoy the episode, don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and hit that notification bell!And let us know in the comments: what films are YOU most looking forward to seeing at the cinema for the rest of 2026? Did we miss anything? Are we completely wrong about any of our picks? And which films should be fired immediately into the sun?You can also find We Needed Roads wherever you get your podcasts, and follow us on social media for more film, TV and general nerdy nonsense.

Brad Pitt grew up Southern Baptist—church, Sunday school, prayer, and the Bible were all part of his upbringing. But somewhere along the way, Pitt walked away from that faith, eventually identifying as an atheist before embracing a much more ambiguous spirituality. Recently, Pitt opened up about ending his seven-year period of sobriety, while also speaking candidly about depression, mental health struggles, and some of the darkest moments of his life. However, Pitt is far from alone. Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Hugh Jackman, the Jonas Brothers, and countless other celebrities were raised in Christian homes or churches, only to later distance themselves from the faith they grew up with. So what happened? What causes someone surrounded by Christianity to eventually reject it? And when celebrities explain why they walked away, are they rejecting biblical Christianity or something entirely different? Most importantly, what can Christians do to call them back to the faith in which they were raised?

In 2006 Lauren Alexander co-founded LNA Clothing in Los Angeles at 22 years old — hand-sewing dresses, selling to boutiques around LA and figuring it out as she went. No business plan. No fashion degree. Just a genuine idea and the delusion of someone young enough not to know how hard it was going to be. Nearly two decades later LNA is still independent, still growing and still entirely hers. In this episode of Running With Wolves, Savannah sits down with Lauren to talk about what building a fashion brand from scratch actually looks like — the early days getting into Barneys, Nordstrom and Saks, the zipper legging that catapulted them in 2008, why she never took outside investment and what nearly 20 years of staying true to your aesthetic actually teaches you about building something that lasts. Here's what this episode covers: How Lauren and her co-founder April started LNA with no business plan and figured it out as they went The zipper legging that catapulted LNA in 2008 and what it taught Lauren about evolving a brand Why celebrity dressing — from Madonna to Kate Moss to Brad Pitt — built the brand before influencer marketing existed Why she never took outside investment — and what that decision has meant for the brand over nearly 20 years Connect with Lauren on Instagram at @laurenalexander — https://www.instagram.com/laurenalexander.

In this week's episode, I take a look back at the movies and streaming shows I watched in Summer 2026 and rate them. This coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Ghost Armor series at my Payhip store: FALLARMOR The coupon code is valid through September 21, 2026. So if you need a new ebook this fall, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 319 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is September the 4th, 2026, and today I'm looking back at the movies and streaming shows I watched over Summer 2026. We will also have Coupon of the Week and an 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 Ghost Armor series at my Payhip store. That coupon code is FALLARMOR. As always, you can get the coupon code and the links to my Payhip store available in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code will be valid through September 21st, 2026, so if you need a new ebook for this fall, we have got you covered. Now an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. I'm pleased to report that the rough draft of Blade of Visions is done. It came to 99,000 words. It'd be kind of cool if it came to 100,000, but as I've learned in the 15 years I've been doing this, it's not a good idea to pad things for length. Editing is underway. I'm about 15% through the first pass of edits. I'm working on the cover design, so I'm on good track to have the book out before the end of the month. I also wrote a tie-in short story called Winter Crown and don't forget that [newsletter] subscribers will get a free ebook copy of that short story when Blade of Visions comes out later this month. So this makes a very excellent time to subscribe to my new release newsletter. I am also 12,000 words into Elven-Warlock, which will be the seventh book in the Half-Elven Thief series. Hopefully that will be out in October, if all goes well. In audiobook news, I think Blade of Thieves (as narrated by Brad Wills) and Cloak of Worlds (as narrated by Hollis McCarthy) are now finally available at all the usual audiobook stores, which includes Audible, Apple, Amazon, Kobo, Google Play, Chirp, and all the others. So if you want to listen to those if you are going on a Labor Day road trip, you can check those out. A reminder that Stealth and Spells Online: The Complete LitRPG trilogy (narrated by C.J. McAllister) is also available on Audible, so check that out. That's 32 hours long and that would also cover all your Labor Day travels. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing and audiobook projects. 00:02:22 Main Topic of the Week: Summer 2026 Movie Roundup So let's move on to our main topic this week. Our main topic this week is the Summer 2026 Movie Roundup and I always enjoy doing those. These episodes are a little less serious than some of the other episodes and it's fun to talk about things I enjoyed and that you might enjoy as well. And I did see a lot of new movies this summer. In fact, I went to the actual theater four times for Masters of the Universe, The Odyssey, Spider-Man, and Coyote vs. Acme, which is probably more than I've gone in a single season since before COVID times. So as usual, here are the movies I saw this summer (rated from least favorite to most favorite). The grades are totally subjective and based on nothing but my own thoughts and opinions. First up is The Breadwinner, which came out in 2026. This is basically standup comedian Nate Bargatze's act come to life as a movie. If you've seen Bargatze's standup, his usual routine is to portray himself as the dumb husband and bumbling Girl Dad, which is actually quite clever from a comedic standpoint since you're unlikely to have outraged mobs calling for your head if all you're doing is making fun of yourself. Anyway, Bargatze portrays Nate Wilcox, the best Toyota salesman in Nashville. (Don't worry, this is the first of only many product placement moments.) He lets his wife Kate manage the household and do the bulk of the work with their three daughters. When Kate's invention takes off on Shark Tank, she has to go to South Korea for two weeks to oversee manufacturing, leaving Nate in charge of the kids. Comedic chaos ensues. On the positive side of this movie, I did approve how this movie showed a married couple trying to work through a rough patch and do what's right for their kids and each other in a semi-productive way rather than blowing up their lives over nonsensical trivialities in the style of Eat, Pray, Love. On the downside, there was a lot of product placement, to the point where it at times felt like an extended commercial with bits of plot jammed in between product endorsement. No doubt most of the production budget came from product placement money. Will Forte was funny as an eccentric roofing contractor and Martin Herlihy as a shifty DoorDash employee. Kumail Nanjiani was funny as Nate's rival salesman at the car dealership. So overall, I would say this was blandly amusing and inoffensive with some funny slapstick moments. Overall grade: C- Next up is Supergirl, which came out in 2026. This movie really was sort of a strange combination of John Wick and the human trafficking subplot from 2020's Black Widow. The end result wasn't quite as good as Superman from 2025, alas. I did like this movie's interpretation of Supergirl. Kara Zor-El's departure from Krypton was way more traumatic than Superman's, so she's dealing with her unresolved emotional issues by traveling from planet to planet with red suns and getting hammered since the same yellow sun that gives Kryptonians their superpowers on Earth also keeps them from getting drunk because their bodies process alcohol too efficiently. However, Kara comes to a planet where a girl named Ruthye lives. Ruthye's family has been slaughtered by ruthless brigands yet led by Krem of the Yellow Hills and she's going on a quest for revenge. When Ruthye tries to recruit Kara for the quest, she's not interested, but then Krem steals Kara's spaceship and poisons her dog Krypto. Krem carries the antidote on his person, so now Kara and Ruthye team up to get vengeance on Krem and to heal Krypto. Krem is a nasty piece of work and he and his space gang travel from planet to planet abducting women to be their wives. I think the problem was that Krem was kind of a boring but nasty villain, but he was still boring. He was basically a space thug with too many piercings. Lex Luthor from 2025 Superman, by contrast, was a really interesting villain, this malignant narcissist who knows that his obsession with Superman is over the top, but he's going to act on it anyway. Additionally, I don't think this version of Supergirl is quite capable of being a lead character on her own. She'd make a superb secondary character, but I don't think she could quite carry a movie on her own. And Jason Momoa was pretty good as Lobo. Overall grade: C- Next up is Troy, which came out in 2004. I wanted to see this either before or after I watched The Odyssey this summer and ended up watching it the day before I went to see The Odyssey. I would say this movie was slow and ponderous, but I did enjoy watching it. This is an adaption of The Iliad and has the sort of slow stateliness of epic films from the '60s. It had good performances and good battle scenes. Brian Cox was enjoyable as a scenery chewing Agamemnon and Brad Pitt worked as Achilles. Interestingly, his version of Achilles reminded me of the interpretation of Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen from Dune 2 as sort of a violent psychopath with his own twisted sense of honor. Oddly, despite the fact that this was rather a long movie, the ending seems a bit rushed, like we needed to hurry up and get to the Trojan Horse. It was amusing how Achilles' relationship with Patroclus was changed to "cousin" for the modern audience, but Greek views on sexuality would definitely be unpalatable with both right-wing and left-wing versions of the modern mind, which is a good thing because while the Greeks contributed a great deal to the development of civilization, they were into a lot of unsavory stuff. So overall, I would say this was a fun, epic movie, but I think this walked so the 2026 version of The Odyssey could run. Amusing fact: Christopher Nolan was apparently supposed to direct this, but the deal fell through and he got Batman Begins as a consolation prize instead. Overall grade: B- Next up is The Dink, which came out in 2026. This is an Apple TV comedy movie about pickleball of all things. I feel like this was made because some Apple executive got made fun of by some tennis players for playing pickleball and then decided to take revenge through media. Jake Johnson plays Dustin Boyd, a washed up former child tennis star who now works at his father's tennis club. The club has difficulties because of a growing influx of pickleball players who the hardcore tennis players hate. Dustin's father decides to use the club's bylaws to force a duel match to decide the issue, in the grand tradition of wacky comedy stakes. Dustin really wants to play the duel match, but his wrist is injured in an accident. To get his wrist mobility back, the doctor suggested he play some pickleball and Dustin views this as beneath him, but he really wants to play again, so he signs up for pickleball. This ends up being a wacky sports company/buddy movie as Dustin gradually befriends an eccentric older pickleball player. Ed Harris should really do more comedic roles. He was great as Dustin's stern, yet unscrupulous father. I do admire Apple TV's dedication to making random stuff. Overall grade: B- Next up is Green and Gold, which came out in 2025, and this is a melodrama about a farmer and his granddaughter dealing with the grim economic realities of farming. This is set in 1992/1993 era Wisconsin. Buck refuses to modernize his dairy farm in Door County, Wisconsin. His granddaughter Jenny is a talented musician and also a skilled farmer, and Buck wants her to take over the farm one day, but Jenny's ambitions are looking elsewhere. Events come to a head when Jenny realizes that Buck is deeply in debt to the bank, which is about to foreclose on the farm. However, Buck and the chief banker have a personal animosity, so they settle on a bet. If the Green Bay Packers win a Super Bowl title in 1993, the banker will give Buck one more year to turn things around on the farm. Meanwhile, Jenny begins to wonder if her music ambitions might generate the money to save the farm. Of course, if you are familiar with the history of the Packers, you know that they won a Super Bowl in 1996, not 1993. The movie has carried on the back of the very strong performances of its actors. It also has an ambiguously happy ending, as is true with so many things in farming. I like this movie because I've spent a lot of my life in the American Midwest, [and] I did appreciate how it shows the difficulties of the farming life. Also, this is important: a fall from a ladder is a plot point. Ladder safety is important, people! If you are going up a ladder, for heaven's sake don't climb the ladder in high heels like the character in question does. Wear sensible, well-fitting shoes with good soles. A very long time ago, I used to work with a guy who would climb extension ladders in cowboy boots. It is nothing short of the mercy of God that he didn't fall off and shatter half the bones in his body. Overall grade: B Next up is Grumpy Old Men, which came out in 1993. Apparently this is set in Wabasha, Minnesota, which is amusing because filming actually took place in several areas in the Twin Cities in Eastern Minnesota, but not actually in Wabasha. I found that personally amusing because I'm quite familiar with the area and so I recognize several filming locations. Anyway, the movie is about two retirees, Max and John, who are enemies and have been enemies for years, but Max is lonely and wants to get married again, and John is about to lose his house to the IRS due to tax problems. Things come to a head when an attractive literature professor moves across the street and both Max and John take an interest in her and start competing for her affections. However, it turns out that Max and John are actually best friends whose love language happens to be hatred and practical jokes, kind of like Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, but more on them below. This was a good character comedy/drama. It was interesting that the professor was an early version of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope, albeit several decades before someone came up with the term. This is worth watching both as a character and comedy drama and a time capsule of the 1990s. Sometimes a movie ages a bit badly (Airplane and the Thomas Crown Affair from the Spring Movie Roundup come to mind), but this didn't. The sequel Grumpier Old Men from 1995 is basically the same movie, but with the characters acting about 20% dumber so a sitcom style plot can happen. Still entertaining, but not as good as the first one, so Grumpier Old Men only gets a B-, but Grumpy Old Men gets a B+. Next up is Masters of the Universe, which came out in 2026. It was amusing to read reviews of this movie because people thought way too hard about a movie that is essentially about battling action figures. Anyway, this was pretty good. It was nice to see a movie about a science fiction property that doesn't actually hate the source material. Basically it's a live action version of the cartoons from the '80s, albeit with somewhat more thoughtful moments. I heard someone suggest that it was close in tone to Thor: Ragnarok, and that seems accurate. The plot is that Skeletor conquers Eternia and 10-year-old Prince Adam is sent with the Sword of Power through a magical portal to Earth to keep him and the sword out of Skeletor's reach. However, Adam loses the sword while passing through the gate and 15 years later is working in human resources. He's still seeking for the sword despite his therapist trying to convince him that it was a trauma-induced fantasy. However, his persistence pays off and he does find the sword. Teela, who is one of the resistance leaders against Skeletor's rule, comes to Earth to find him and bring him back, but Skeletor's minions arrive to claim the sword as well. Adam and Teela escape back to Eternia and it's up to Adam to find a way to use the Sword of Power to become the hero that Eternia needs. Dolph Lundgren's cameo was great. Overall, I would say this is a fun movie to watch, especially if you're a Millennial or Gen Xer who saw the cartoons or the live action movie back in the '80s. Jared Leto has something of an increasingly questionable reputation these days, but he did a good job as Skeletor, played him halfway between the solemn gravitas of the 1987 version and the malevolent comedic cornball of the cartoons. Of course, in my opinion, the Frank Langella version from 1987 is the best version of Skeletor since he placed it with all the seriousness of a Shakespearean villain monologue at the Royal Shakespeare Company. In hindsight, it wasn't terribly surprising that this underperformed at the box office. It felt like it was made for guys my age, not for kids. I would've been comfortable bringing an eight-year-old to see The Mandalorian and Grogu or Super Mario Galaxy, but I would've been less certain bringing a kid that age to see Masters of the Universe. Additionally, it seemed very Marvel in tone, and I think the overall mood of the US these days is less "Marvel Cinematic Universe quips and banter" and more sort of the grimness of The Odyssey, which we'll talk about shortly. Overall grade: B+ Next up is Young Washington, which came out in 2026, a biopic of the early life of George Washington, covering how he more or less accidentally started the French and Indian War and how he recovered his reputation at the Battle of Braddock's Field. To be fair, the international situation at the time meant that someone was going to start the French and Indian War. It just happened to be Washington, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Overall, I liked this. It was reasonably historically accurate, though some of the emotional and family dialogue at times was a bit clunky. Additionally, Washington was portrayed as having revolutionary leanings much earlier in life than he actually did, since when he was a young man, he had no thoughts of being anything but a British subject and officer. That said, some of the most implausible stuff in the movie actually happened in real life. Like if I were to write in a novel that the future president of the United States personally rallied the army's rear guard to save as many men as possible from an ambush, and in the process had two horses shot out from under him and ended up with bullet holes in his hat and coat (all while fighting continuously), you would probably find that a bit implausible, but it actually happened that way. Washington's daring actions during that battle were one of the reasons he was appointed commander of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, that and there weren't many other colonials with as much experience of military command as Washington. In that vein, the battle scenes were the best part of the movie. They captured the brutality and messiness of 18th Century warfare without being especially graphic. Anyway, I'm glad this is getting a sequel. Maybe we'll end up with a Young Washington Cinematic Universe. Overall grade: B+ Next up is Meet the Parents, which came out in 2000, and this is probably one of the apex forms of cringe comedy. Ben Stiller plays Greg Focker, a nurse who's in love with schoolteacher Pam Burns. Greg wants to marry Pam, but overhears a phone call with her sister where she says her fiancé asked permission of her traditional father first. Greg decides that he's going to ask Pam's father's permission first to get off on the right foot, and so accompanies Pam to her sister's wedding and her parents' house to, as the title says, Meet the Parents. However, Pam's father is the former CIA counterintelligence officer Jack, and he and Greg immediately get on each other's nerves. To make things worse, the airline has lost Greg's luggage. From these two starting premises follow a cascading series of hilarious disasters that accumulate in a septic tank fire on the lawn. I'm not sure, but I think I saw this one in the theaters when it came out in 2000, and I thought it was funny then. With 26 years of additional life experience under the belt, I still think it's pretty funny, though you could still tell that this movie was filmed before 9/11 because if Greg had his airport meltdown seen today, the consequences would've been much worse. Overall grade: B+ Next up is O Brother Where Art Thou, which came out in 2000. This is a very, very, very specific adaptation of The Odyssey directed by the Coen brothers. George Clooney plays Everett, a convict who escapes from a chain gang in Mississippi during the Great Depression. He wants to find a treasure and he recruits fellow convicts Delmar and Peter to assist him. Along the way, Everett and his team encountered 1930s era versions of the Sirens, the cyclops, the blind prophet Tiresias, and other characters and foes from the original Odyssey myth. Everett and his friends end up running a scam where they pretend to be a Christian music group, but as it turns out, they're actually pretty good at singing, so this leads to unexpected hilarity and opportunities. This was also a very funny movie. Imagine The Odyssey is a comedy with a lot of singing set in the Deep South during the Depression, and you're there. If you're a fan of bluegrass music, this is worth watching. If you've seen Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, it's worth watching this just to ponder how the same source material can produce such wildly divergent interpretations. If you don't care about The Odyssey, then this is still a fun movie to watch. Proof: I mentioned to someone that I had seen this and she responded that she both loved the movie and was surprised to learn that he had in fact been inspired by The Odyssey. Overall grade: A- Next up is Hoppers, which came out in 2026. Like most Pixar movies, this was very high concept. Unlike many recent Pixar movies, it wasn't too depressing and didn't disappear up its own tailpipe. In the city of Beaverton, hot tempered girl Mabel bonds with her grandmother in their favorite place, a woodland grove favored by beavers. Years later, Mabel is a biology student under Dr. Fairfax, but is neglecting her studies to face off against her nemesis, the popular yet sketchy Mayor Jerry of Beaverton. Mayor Jerry wants to build an expressway that will wipe out the woodland grove, and he's perfectly within his rights to do it since no animals have been found living there. Since Mabel's grandmother has died, she's unwilling to give up the grove. However, Dr. Fairfax's research might give her a way. Dr. Fairfax has worked out a way to temporarily transfer human consciousness to a robotic beaver capable of speaking to real beavers, much like the plot of Avatar. In a funny scene, Fairfax angrily denies that it's just like Avatar. Mabel gets the idea to use this to convince real beavers to settle in the grove, thereby thwarting Mayor Jerry's plans. This touches off both a wacky yet poignant adventure. The plot was very well structured and it followed the proper rules of story structure, which I've talked about before. Mabel definitely is a protagonist who takes action, but experiences setbacks and problems of her own creation. It was pretty good. I say it was a return to form for Pixar after some of their weaker movies in the 2020s. Overall grade: A Now it's time for my three favorite movies of summer 2026, all of which I actually saw in the theater. First up is Coyote versus Acme, which came out in 2026. This movie had an extra surge of popularity from the fact that Warner Brothers canceled it as a tax write-off, but distributor Ketchup Entertainment revived it. That makes it a plucky underdog since Warner Brothers senior executives are kind of like the apex version of soulless corporate bug men. Like if I wrote characters in my books who acted like Warner Brothers senior executives, people would think I was being didactic and heavy-handed. Anyway, after decades of failures in efforts to capture the Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote decides to sue Acme Corporation for its numerous defective products. Coyote teams up with a lazy strip mall lawyer named Kevin Avery, who specializes in getting small settlements from Acme. However, Avery and Coyote end up filing a massive lawsuit against Acme, which means they'll face the full wrath of Acme Corporation, including its ace lawyer Buddy Crane and its ruthless CEO, Foghorn Leghorn. What follows is a comedic courtroom battle as Coyote and Avery try to defeat Acme Corporation, defeat its sinister plans, and Coyote starts to realize that Road Runner might actually be his best friend. Both quite amusing and touching, and I'm glad this was rescued from the tax write-off vault. Overall grade: A Next up is The Odyssey, which came out in 2026. This wasn't quite as good as Oppenheimer in 2023 in my opinion, but it was still very good and very much worth seeing. It was weird that The Odyssey was briefly a football in the never-ending US culture war scrum because the movie isn't really political and doesn't really have a message beyond "war is destructive and bad", which every sensible person would agree with, and a lesser message of "violating the law of morality has unforeseen cascading bad consequences, including the destruction of civilization", which is also quite true and was one of the themes of Oppenheimer. Nolan himself dismissed the controversies as "irrelevant" and "part of the territory" since no one had actually seen the movie yet, and given that The Odyssey has made a billion and a half dollars as of this recording, I think that may have proved his point. I imagine the scrutiny from Batman fans back in the 2010s was way more intense since in the modern era, many people care more deeply about the accuracy of Batman than The Odyssey. I do think the debate over the historical accuracy in The Odyssey is pointless because the Odyssey is myth, not history. The Iliad and The Odyssey are a lot like Arthurian myth in terms of their actual historicity. Even when Arthurian legend was massively popular with English kings and nobles in the late medieval and early modern period (for example, Henry VIII's older brother was named Arthur in imitation of King Arthur), the version of Arthurian myth they celebrated and wished to emulate had virtually no connection to the reality of Britain in the 500s AD and was instead a sort of fantasy version of their own time in the 14th and 15th centuries. By the time The Odyssey was written down, no doubt a similar process was underway. Both The Iliad and The Odyssey and the Arthurian cycle probably have a kernel of historical truth buried underneath the tales of magic swords, sirens, cyclopses, and vengeful witches with magic islands. There likely was a Romano-British warlord who might have been named Arthur (or possibly Ambrosius Aurelianus) who held off the Saxons for a while before he was overwhelmed and killed. Likewise, Heinrich Schliemann was a highly eccentric and very sketchy crazy rich guy, but he did prove that there really was some version of the city of Troy that was destroyed at the end of the Bronze Age. But everything beyond those basic details came from thousands of years of embellishments and flourishes from later poets and writers. So arguing about the historical accuracy of The Odyssey is a bit like arguing if Star Wars portrays faster than light travel in an accurate way. That kind of argument is just missing the point entirely. It's also interesting to see how modern standards clashed with the ancient mindset. You know how I always say that everywhere in the United States is exactly the same right until it really, really isn't? I think ancient people are just like us until they really, really weren't. Like ancient people would have been superstitious to an extent that even the most credulous crystal and aura influencer on TikTok would find horrifying and frequently violent in a way that the most strident self-defense advocate would find shocking. The Odyssey's version of Odysseus feels guilt and remorse over his actions in a way an actual ancient Greek probably wouldn't have, but so what? This is The Odyssey viewed through the lens of the 21st century, just as those English nobles viewed the myth of King Arthur and his knights through the lens of their time. As I mentioned with Troy above, the ancient Greeks were often quite brutal and would celebrate sacking an enemy city. One side note before we get to the movie, I probably found it funnier than I should have how Nolan favorably cited classicist Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey as a source, and Wilson then had an extended and unintentionally comedic multi-article crashout about how much she hated the movie and of course how much she hated the commemorative Trojan Horse popcorn bucket. Apparently Wilson hated the movie so much she's going to do a new translation of The Odyssey, much to her publisher's baffled dismay. No one does offended huffy petulance quite like an academic. Anyway, back to the movie. It follows the familiar story of Odysseus through Christopher Nolan's preference for non-linear storytelling and practical effects. I did think it was interesting how in this interpretation, Odysseus explicitly connected the ruse of the Trojan Horse with the collapse of the Bronze Age and the rise of the Sea Peoples. It's also probably the most supernatural film Nolan has ever done with actual fantasy and supernatural elements as opposed to science fiction like Inception, Tenant, and Interstellar. Odysseus talks to Athena throughout the movie and it's left up to the viewer's interpretation whether or not he's actually talking to Athena or his own guilt-ridden hallucinations. That said, Odysseus encounters a witch with actual magic powers and travels to the underworld to speak with the shades of the dead, so it's entirely possible he's talking to the actual Athena. In this version, as I mentioned, Odysseus is guilt-ridden over the ruse of the Trojan Horse, which is shown as a violation of the sacred hospitality of Zeus's law and as great a crime as the creation of the atomic bomb in Oppenheimer, which of course is similar to Oppenheimer, where Oppenheimer's creation of the atomic bomb is treated similarly. There are also some genuinely scary sequences in the movie. The bit with the underworld is very spooky, the cyclops is actually quite frightening, and the character of Circe reaches the level of scary previously attained by Heath Ledger's version of The Joker in The Dark Knight. If Nolan ever decides he wants to do a horror movie, it will probably be one of the scariest ones ever made. To sum up, The Odyssey has great performances, great spectacle, great cinematography, and great action sequences. As an interesting interpretation of the original myth, definitely worth seeing. I think you can tell it was a great movie because of all the arguments on the Internet about "what does it really mean?" Great art often has that effect. Overall grade: A The final of my three favorite movies of [Summer] 2026 is Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which came out in 2026. There's a rumor, and I don't know if it's true or not, that Tom Holland found the experience of working with Christopher Nolan on The Odyssey so eye-opening that he insisted that if they made another Spider-Man movie, it had to have a reason for existing other than "make a lot of money". If this story is true, it clearly worked. Previously, I though the two best Spider-Man movies were Spider-Man 2 from 2004 and Spider-Man: No Way Home from 2021. I must now amend that opinion to say that there are three best Spider-Man movies and Spider-Man: Brand New Day is one of the three. It is pretty good. I would've trimmed it here and there, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and is an excellent Spider-Man story that totally captures the essence of the character within a good story. It takes place four years after the events of No Way Home erased everyone's memory that Peter Parker was Spider-Man. Peter has now been crime fighting full time, but it is taking a severe toll on his emotions and personal life that he's deliberately ignoring. Meanwhile, Spider-Man has become the beloved crime fighter of New York, trusted by both the NYPD and the Federal Department of Damage Control, which is a reoccurring frenemy for superheroes from other movies. When someone launches an attack on the headquarters of Damage Control, the director recruits Peter to fight their new enemy, a mysterious figure who uses telepathy to possess people from a distance. Peter is the only one who can sense it thanks to his spider sense, and he's also the only one able to resist the telepath's possession abilities. But despite his resistance to possession, fighting a telepath is a dangerous proposition for someone with as many emotional issues as Peter, and things start to spiral out of control when the telepath starts digging into his life. But there's another lesson Peter has to learn. People (and especially superheroes) who take the federal government at its word tend to regret it. For that matter, ignoring his emotional issues is causing Peter's spider powers to start acting in strange ways. But of course, at the end of the day, Spider-Man always follows his conscience, no matter how high the cost to him personally. Definitely an enjoyable movie. All the scenes with Spider-Man and Punisher were great, and the two of them had a great dynamic together. A few other Marvel Cinematic Universe people show up, but this is probably one of the most standalone movies the MCU has done in a while. Of course, the risk of MCU Continuity Lockout is always there (which is one of the reasons I started writing Half-Eleven Thief in 2023). Overall grade: A So I would say it was a pretty good summer for movies. It's also valuable lessons in not taking the Internet too seriously, which too many people do nowadays. There are all these dedicated analyses on X, Threads, and Reddit in June and May explaining why The Odyssey was going to fail for whatever reason, and instead it made $1.5 billion. So I think that's a good lesson in not taking everything you read on the internet a little too seriously. So that's it for this week. Thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show.

Mike Mentzer scored a perfect 300 at the 1980 Mr. Olympia, lost the title anyway, and spent the rest of his life proving that lifting weights and reading Ayn Rand are the same act of self-respect.

He built Heavy Duty training on the same premise Ayn Rand built her ethics on: that your body, like your mind, is yours to master through reason — not tradition, not volume, not somebody else's program. Today Yaron and Nikos put Mentzer's life under the bar: the perfect score the judges gave him, the title politics took from him, and the philosophy that made him say bodybuilding itself is a moral act.

Edward Norton is trapped in a soul-crushing existence of work, insomnia, and catalog furniture until Brad Pitt's Tyler Durden arrives with soap, swagger, and a philosophy that turns his entire world upside down.We break down the performances, Fincher's incredible visual style, Marla Singer's role in the madness, Project Mayhem, and the clues hiding in plain sight that make Fight Club even better on a second—or tenth—watch. We also get into the bigger question surrounding the movie: Is Tyler Durden someone we're supposed to admire, fear, pity... or all three?And because this is RB2Podcast, we're pairing all that existential chaos with some booze-worthy brews of our own.So pour yourself something strong, forget about your IKEA catalog for a couple hours, and join the Bro's as we ask whether Fight Club still deserves its reputation as one of the defining cult movies of its generation.Just don't ask us what the second rule is.

Been there, done that. I hope he makes it back.

Odyssey-mania has taken over the world, and it hurts to see so many people have forgotten its unofficial 2004 prequel, TROY.

  How We Seeez It! Moneyball (2011) “How can you not be romantic about baseball?” – Billy Beane For our September throwback movie, we are heading back 15 years to 2011 for Moneyball. Brad Pitt stars as Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane, who, faced with one of the smallest payrolls in baseball, challenges conventional thinking and tries to build a winning team by finding value where everyone else has overlooked it. But Moneyball is not necessarily just a baseball movie. It is about questioning accepted wisdom, solving problems, and finding a different way to compete. Pitt and Jonah Hill give understated performances that help turn baseball statistics, trade calls, and front-office strategy into compelling drama. As always, mix a drink, have a listen, and let us know what you think. Also, please rate and review the show on all your favorite podcast apps. Drinks for the episode.
