Send a textKnights, Nazis, submarines, and a three-headed robo-dragon walk into a Transformers sequel… and somehow the wildest ingredients still feel weightless. We dig into Transformers: The Last Knight to figure out why the VFX slap while the story slips, how the Arthurian hook gets buried under MacGuffins, and where the franchise lost the character charm that made the first film sing. We compare Shia's live-wire energy to Mark Wahlberg's steady center, debate Cogman's C-3PO-adjacent chaos, and explain why Anthony Hopkins turning exposition into mischief nearly steals the movie.From the medieval prologue to a London chase that forgets who's in which car, we track the editing choices that drain tension and the dialogue tics that mistake “joke density” for personality. The TRF heel turn, the Witwiccan lore tangle, and Optimus Prime's mind-controlled pivot to Nemesis Prime get a clear-eyed autopsy. We also spotlight what works: Bumblebee's mid-fight reassembly is kinetic and clever, the robot silhouettes are finally readable, and the sound design keeps even thin scenes feeling huge. When Bumblebee briefly regains his voice, you glimpse the beating heart this franchise can still find—if the script lets it.If you love franchise archaeology, blockbuster craft talk, and a fair share of roast with your reverence, you'll feel at home. We sketch the version that might have landed: fewer MacGuffins, real consequences, a focused treasure trail for Vivian's historian skills, and a talisman that pays off a character arc rather than a single slow-motion block. By the end, we answer the big question: underrated chaos or unwatchable noise?Enjoy the ride, then tell us your pick for the series' last truly good entry.

Tim Veekhoven is voorzitter en founding member van dé Belgische Star Wars-fanclub TeeKay 421. Hij stond stand-by voor elke mogelijke aflevering die ik wou maken. Maar deelde me ook een persoonlijke passie binnen de passie: die voor de cartoonreeksen 'Star Wars: Ewoks' en 'Star Wars: Droids' uit de jaren 1980.We hebben het over de goedkeuring van Lucas voor de 'Holiday Special'-cartoon, de visuele stijl van Franse tekenaar Moebius en het aanstekelijke themalied van Stewart Copeland van The Police. Over Anthony Daniels die opnieuw C-3PO inspreekt, de klungelige Duloks als tegenstanders en waarom Lucasfilm 20.000 animatiecellen per aflevering wilde in plaats van de gebruikelijke 9.000.En wist je dat 'Droids' en 'Ewoks' de enige Star Wars-producties zijn waarin muziek van onze planeet aarde te horen is? Dat er een onderscheid is tussen Star Wars Legends en de canon? En dat Tim voor Lucasfilm heeft gewerkt en enkele personages een naam mocht geven?Als ik een liefhebber ben, is Tim de kenner. Heel blij deze aflevering met hem te kunnen maken. Meer over TeeKay 421 vind je hier.

Is AI conscious? Will it be someday? And should we be nice to it now... just in case?This FAFO Friday, Kwaku and I dive into the mind-bending world of machine consciousness.We cover a lot of ground, weaving from the different ways that Luke (co-dependent with R2) and Han (barking commands at C-3PO) treat their droids to whether Pascal's Wager informs whether we should believe in AI consciousness just in case they do come alive and have been keeping score. (Pascal figured it was the safe bet to believe in God, just in case; maybe we should do likewise?) That's from us knuckleheads, but we've also got a true expert on consciousness. This week I interviewed Daniel Hulme, one of the world's leading AI researchers. He's the Chief AI Officer at WPP, the CEO of Satalia (which WPP bought) and just founded and is CEO of Conscium, which is researching AI consciousness, efficiency (he thinks we're scaling wrong and LLM's are not the way), and building a platform to verify AI agents are safe. You'll hear the first five minutes of my interview with Daniel. Daniel was not surprised by Moltbook (the Reddit-style site that AI agents built for themselves). That's because he's been putting agents together (in a “primordial soup” as he put it) for decades to observe the wild and wonderful ways they behave and to see if they'd create intelligence.Daniel does not think today's agents are conscious, but can see a path to it. And he believes that a conscious superintellignece would be safer than a “zombie” one. But mostly he doesn't want machines to feel pain and suffer. Huh???My brain is still kind of broken from our hourlong chat, which I'm producing now and will be released in a few weeks. For now, enjoy this preview and more from Kwaku and me as we talk about what we expect from machines, whether we want to be one with them, and more…

MONSTER PARTY POWERS UP AN OLD TOPIC! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD revisit one of their earliest talking points! It's a celebration of mechanics, synthetics, and cybernetics, certified to scramble your circuitry called… ROBOTS REBOOTED!!! During the first year of MONSTER PARTY, when the show was recorded on a stone slab with a live pterodactyl beak, we did an episode simply titled… ROBOTS!!! The show was quite a bit shorter than our current entries, but displayed a primitive charm that would soon morph into what can only be described as a juggernaut of charisma. But now, with over a decade of experience under our belts, and robots and A.I. on the verge of making the world of TERMINATOR a reality, we knew this was the right time hit this subject again. Aside from discussing some of the most beloved robots from film and TV history, like Robby from Forbidden Planet, B-9 from Lost In Space, Gort from The Day The Earth Stood Still, and C-3PO and R2-D2 from Star Wars, we'll also focus on the world of androids and cyborgs. We're talking Data from Star Trek: Next Generation, the replicants of Blade Runner, The Daleks from Doctor Who, Bender from Futurama, Robocop, The Terminator, and more! And by more, we mean toys, of course. Joining us for this robotic rager is a guest making his MONSTER PARTY debut! He's an amazingly talented comedian, writer, actor, columnist, and activist, who also happens to be an award-winning hip-hop artist and juggler. Please welcome to the show… NGAIO BEALUM! (THE SARAH SILVERMAN PROGRAM, STAB!, COMICS UNLEASHED, CANNABIS PLANET) IF YOUR SAFE WORDS ARE "GORT VARINGA," THIS EPISODE WILL DEFINITELY COMPUTE!

This archival episode reaches all the way back to 1996 for a rare and insightful conversation with Anthony Daniels, the iconic performer behind C‑3PO. At the time, Daniels had just wrapped his work on the Return of the Jedi radio drama, once again lending his unmistakable voice and personality to the galaxy's most anxious protocol droid.

Special guest Steve Lawley joins Jason to discuss the animated Star Wars Spin-off 'Droids', and we wonder just what reference material the animators were using for some scenes!Covering the episodes 'The White Witch' and 'Escape into terror'.

When you think "droids", most people's minds drift back to that shiny golden automaton and his rolling trash compactor of a counterpart. That's right, we're talking the walking panic attack and his little buddy, C-3PO and R2-D2.But what makes these characters stand out? Is it their personalities? Is it their position as stand-ins for the audience? Is it the fact they are the only two characters to appear throughout the Skywalker Saga?Join Mark and Garrett as they discuss these topics and try to answer the big questions, like which one gets listed alphabetically first?

This episode of Star Warsologies we delve into classical studies - languages, archeology, and epigraphy, which is study of ancient inscriptions! Giraffe joins us to talk about her early introduction to languages with Stargate and The Mummy. She explains the difference between scripts and languages. She also answers important questions like: Does Yoda talk that way just to be different? and Why does anyone hang out with C-3PO? We also get into the inevitable discussion of AI's role in translating and understanding ancient languages and scripts, as well as how the Empire removing people from their individual cultures comes straight from the colonizer's playbook. Show Notes: Check out Giraffe on the Star Trek podcast Strange New pod, which is live every Thursday at 6:30pm Pacific time! And find her on Instagram and BlueSky!

This is A More Civilized Age: Three hours of podcast when another team would make an hour and a half. Distractions. Diatribes. Deep dives into the databanks to learn, live on air, factoids about characters who hardly matter. But that's what makes A More Civilized Age A More Civilized Age: All of it might matter. Five years running and it's still asking questions a first year podcast might.  And today it is going to learn what it already knew: That Anakin Skywalker is driven by love and fear in equal, but precarious measure. That Obi-Wan Kenobi, the ultimate blueprint of a Jedi, always knows when he's looking at a butt. That R2-D2 and C-3PO are slaves, but like, don't worry about that so much, they're more like friends, right? That Palpatine always has a plan, but always loves to pivot.

R2-D2 and C-3PO were the first Star Wars characters we met in 1977 and have been an iconic and comedic staple ever since. These bickering best friends ground us in our galaxy far, far away and help to safeguard our story. Devoted and loyal, these two droids are friends to us all, for that and so much more is why we love R2-D2 and C-3PO! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In honor of the tenth anniversary of The Force Awakens, Ryan and Dylan kick off the Star Wars specials with a look at the highly divisive, yet often wonderfully brilliant, conclusive trilogy to the Skywalker Saga.

This week we're all enjoying The Empire Strikes Back - Dave's favourite Star Wars film. Rob's favourite Star Wars film. Not Nath's though, but he does still like it. You could describe Empire as the beginning of Star Wars as a 'franchise' - it's a film brimming with confidence, with characters hitting their stride (Darth Vader is definitely evil now and C3PO is a bit nicer) and with ships and set-pieces that would make excellent toys. Then there's that bit - one of the most famous twists in cinema history, a moment that ignited spoiler culture as we know it. Let's dive in!We'll be watching the original Star Wars trilogy followed by the prequel trilogy, all through December and January. Dates are below!Star Wars: An Intro - 8/12/25Bonus - Star Wars Games - 10/12/25A New Hope - 15/12/25Empire Strikes Back - 22/12/25Mail Bag End 2 - 24/12/25 Hosted on Acast.

David Wilcock is back and he is vigorously begging for some donor. The man lives for the dono and nothing else.

Democrats Abroad member Bob Vallier explains what a party platform is, what it does, how it's made, and Democrats Abroad's new efforts to ensure proper platform planning. He discusses how preparing a party's platform can stimulate the grassroots at the local level, leading to member engagement and volunteer recruitment. DA members should watch for opportunities to participate and engage others in this process. Bob also shares tales of doing stand-up in the Netherlands and France, and of the philosophy podcast he co-hosts, Hotel Bar Sessions.

Somna, i natt bjuder jag in en gäst som du redan känner: Ältaren. Vi sätter oss i en sal med tolv stolar—lejonfåtöljen blinkar rött, korgstolen knarrar tyst inom sig—och försöker välja. Samtidigt snurrar en liten tygkanin på räls runt en inre hundkapplöpningsbana, och hundarna (mina tankar) springer tills de glömmer varför de sprang. Vi pratar om Darth Vader eller C-3PO i leksaksaffären, den där pizzamenyn som aldrig tar slut, historien som glömmer våra små detaljer, och hjärnan som kanske mest är ett dämpningssystem för allt för mycket verklighet.Jag predikar lite, ber om ursäkt, predikar igen (förlåt), och kommer fram till att grindarna redan är öppna: du är både hunden, rälsen och den som tittar på. Vägarna du ser finns inte än. De blir till när du börjar gå.Det är som det är. Det som händer, händer. Och just nu finns ingenting som vi kan göra åt det. Nu börjar vi.Sov Gott!Mer om Henrik, klicka här: https://linktr.ee/HenrikstahlLyssna utan reklam, få extraavsnitt, spellistor med mera på: https://somnamedhenrik.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Just when we thought we found all the actors who've played Darth Vader, another emerges. Tom Bewley was the first actor to portray the Dark Lord of the Sith on screen after Return of the Jedi. He appeared in the Frank Oz-directed 1985 film, The Indian in the Cupboard. In his very first podcast interview, Tom opens up with never-before-heard stories from behind the mask. He shares what it was like stepping into Vader's boots for The Indian in the Cupboard, his duel with the Energizer Bunny in a now-legendary commercial, memories from the Star Wars 10th Anniversary convention preshow with George Lucas, and plenty more surprises. TODAY in Star Wars History 9/16/1977 48 years ago... ABC aired The Making of Star Wars as Told by C-3PO and R2-D2, an hour-long special hosted by R2-D2 and Anthony Daniels as C-3PO. Coming in the same month as Donny & Marie, Richard Pryor, and Saturday morning Star Wars previews, the special stood out by placing R2 and 3PO in a futuristic Star Wars setting to share behind-the-scenes stories. It was a clever move—fans didn't have to wait for The Empire Strikes Back to get “new” Star Wars, all thanks to Charlie Lippincott's promotional vision.

【欢迎订阅】每天早上5:30，准时更新。【阅读原文】标题：Feuds, grudges and revengeWelcome to the dark side of the workplace正文：One of the more touching on-screen relationships is that between C-3PO and R2-D2, two robots who appear in the “Star Wars” films. The actors behind the droids got on less well.“He was in a box he couldn't do anything with,” Anthony Daniels dismissively said of Kenny Baker, the man who played the part of R2-D2. “Rude to everyone”, was Baker's verdict on his fellow actor.知识点：droid /drɔɪd/，n. a robot, especially one that looks or acts like a human（机器人，尤指外观或行为类似人类的机器人）• The sci-fi movie features a droid that helps the main character on their mission（这部科幻电影中有一个机器人，在主角的任务中为其提供帮助）• This new droid can perform a variety of household chores automatically（这款新型机器人能自动完成多种家务）获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！【节目介绍】《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。【适合谁听】1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等）【你将获得】1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

Potentially hitting the low point for the Clone Wars, this two episode pair focuses almost entirely on C-3PO and R2-D2, and could be completely skipped over without losing anything for the larger Star Wars storylines. While they introduce some interesting Willow inspired magic and creatures, they are never mentioned again in canon and so, by the end, it's like the story never even happened.

What will it take to get humanoid robots out of the experimental phase and into our daily lives? A lot of us always dreamed of having our own C-3PO at the ready, but how close are we really?Well, it's a little more complicated than simply getting them on a production line. If we want robots to make an appearance not just in the manufacturing space, but also in healthcare, construction, public spaces, and even at home, there's a whole lot more work to do.In this episode, we bring you a two-part conversation, recorded live at the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston. First up, Aaron Prather, Director of Robotics & Autonomous Systems Program at ASTM, sits down with Jake Hall, the Manufacturing Millennial, to talk about the number one important thing shaping robotics – safety standards. We talk about how safety standards have a long way to go and will need to look a bit different in different industries.Next, we speak to Spencer Krause, the President and CEO of SKA Robotics, about the best use cases for robots right now and where they could end up in the future. We look at healthcare and hospitals, mining and construction, and break down what will need to happen to increase robotics use and make it a buyer's market one day.In this episode, find out:Aaron explains his work at ASTM and the importance of pairing standards with new technologyThe biggest hurdles to improving standards for humanoid robotsWhy we'll need different standards for different scenarios if we want robots in the home, in healthcare, and industryThe most exciting use cases for humanoids and why there's still a lot of work to do to make it feasible How interest in robotics is growing, as shown by increased talk outside of technical fields in social science, law, and moreSpencer explains his work at SKA Robotics and how robotics is evolvingWhere the biggest current use cases for robotics are nowHow robotics is branching out into industries like mining and constructionWhat will it take to push robot use in areas like healthcare from the current 3% in the USWhy safety, use, and productivity are the keys to making robotics a buyer's marketEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“More people will embrace the idea of robotics and look for those solutions, and ultimately that's what we need. We need more problem solvers at the table because not all of these are technical.” – Aaron Prather“In the last five years, what we've been able to see with the ability to run perception on the edge and some of these AI algorithms has been incredible.” – Spencer Krause”We're going to see more and more different types of niche surgical robots coming out in the hospital logistics space. That's a market that's only penetrated 3% of hospitals so far in the US. I think we'll see more of that.” – Spencer KrauseLinks & mentions:Robotics Summit & Expo, robotics convention that brings together over 5,000 developers focused on building robots for various industries including aerospace, defense, healthcare, and logisticsSKA Robotics, robotics hardware, software, and systems engineering developer

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHTHE DEAD SPEAK! The opening crawl reveals that a mysterious broadcast has been heard across the galaxy in the voice of the late Emperor Palpatine. BUT HOW?! Leia dispatches agents across the galaxy to gather information on this, while Kylo Ren, now Supreme Leader of the First Order, searches for Palpatine in an effort to eliminate all potential threats to his power.Kylo Ren finds this triangle thing which leads him to a hidden planet where he finds Palpatine, still kicken.  Palpatine unveils a fleet of Star Destroyers and offers it to Kylo if he finds and kills Rey, who is continuing her Jedi training under Leia. During Rey's training, She has a chat with Kylo Ren through their Force bond—brief flashes of the past—and accidentally crushes BB-8 during training. I was so mad at her for hurting sweet BB-8.Poe announces to the Resistance that Palpatine is alive and plans to unleash his fleet. To stop him, they need the Sith Finder which Rey believes to be on a planet called Pasanna.The. crew lands during a sick dance party. Rey meets a local who gives her a necklace—through their Force bond, Kylo take it from her and determines her location. Rey is soon approached by Leia's contact—Lando Calrissian. He explains that he and Luke once searched for a Sith hunter named Ochi, who may have held the key to finding the Wayfinder. They found his ship, but no trace of him.Stormtroopers arrive, and the heroes flee into the desert, falling into quicksand that leads to an underground cave. There, they find a Sith dagger inscribed with a clue. Unfortunately, C-3PO's programming prevents him from translating Sith text.Rey senses Kylo approaching and confronts him while the others prepare for takeoff. She brings down Kylo's ship but is shocked to see Chewie captured. As she and Kylo both use the Force to stop a transport from leaving, Rey loses control and unleashes Force lightning—destroying the ship and, seemingly, killing Chewie.Don't worry - Chewie is fine. He was on a different ship and they're going to hold him captive.Poe takes the gang to see an old friend, Zorii Bliss.
