On this episode of Bad Dads Film Review, the team reviews Aftersun (2022) — Charlotte Wells' quietly devastating father-daughter memory piece starring Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio.In this episodeTop 5 Holidays: package holiday dread, cancelled flights, family trips, airport memories, and British holiday behaviour at its absolute finest/worstSidey's Malta anxiety and the curse of relatives who “mog” every conversationWhat the dads watched this week, including Spider-Noir, Is This Thing On?, Heat, and other pre-main-feature detoursWhy Aftersun plays less like a traditional plot and more like an adult trying to decode childhood memoryAdult Sophie watching old camcorder footage of her holiday with Calum in TurkeyThe recurring rave/strobe imagery and Sophie trying to reach the father she only half-understoodCalum's hidden depression: cigarettes, self-help books, Tai Chi, money worries, shame, and emotional withdrawalThe cheap holiday resort details: rep bus, room mix-up, wristbands, dinner run, pool tables, scuba mask, karaoke and tourist entertainmentThe expensive rug as a possible attempt to leave Sophie something tangibleThe brutal karaoke scene with Losing My ReligionThe final dance to Under Pressure and the airport departure endingHow the film handles male depression and implied suicide without spelling everything outPaul Mescal and Frankie Corio's performances, and why the film rewards intense viewingBad Dads consensusReegs: Loved it — brilliantly made, emotionally precise, dreamlike, and rich in detailSidey: Strong recommend — hugely powerful, very well made, but absolutely not a fun watchDan: Strong recommend, with caveats — found it genuinely hard to sit with because it stirred up memories and difficult emotionsCris: Did not meaningfully watch it — put it on, went for a wee, fell asleep, and woke up when it was doneFinal takeAftersun is one of those films the dads admire deeply while also warning listeners to choose their moment carefully. It is quiet, ambiguous and emotionally bruising — a film about memory, parenting, depression, guilt, love and what children only understand years later.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Ted and Calum are running the studio this week and wrapping their heads around a massive market disconnect. While Bitcoin takes a sudden flash crash below US$60K, certain altcoins are completely ignoring gravity and throwing an absolute party.  In this episode, the boys get straight into the bizarre prediction market conspiracy behind Michael Saylor's latest Bitcoin trade and Calum's aggressive strategy to stay in cash until the market bottoms out. We also dive into the massive regulatory shake-up as new SEC Chair Paul Atkins takes over and predicts all traditional markets will move on-chain within five years . Plus, we cover why AI trading agents like Siren are outperforming human emotion, a massive 770% monthly pump for a new project called Audiera, and the new Australian capital gains tax changes that are about to force a lot of investors to hold Bitcoin for the long term .  You'll hear:  - What actually triggered the sudden Bitcoin drop and whether the panic is entirely overblown - The crazy coincidence behind Michael Saylor selling right inside a betting window  - Why Calum is stubbornly sitting on the sidelines with a downside target between $37K and $45K  - The New SEC Era: How Paul Atkins is changing the industry with a brand new token taxonomy system - Are AI Agents taking over? - How the latest budget changes are completely destroying the old cycle-trading strategy … and much more!

We're back with another episode of I Had Trials Once and this time we're joined by former Chester & Runcorn Linnets manager...Calum McIntyre Cal sits down with Gaz & Jord as he discusses his time in football having recently left his role as Chester manager. The lads start the pod talking about Cal's early life at Chester and his time living with Gary Stopforth and his late night binges of Top Boy. They then talk in depth about how Calum got into football management, working with Chester's youth team before being promoted to the first team and forming part of Jonno & Bern's backroom staff. The trio then chat about Cal's step into first team management with Runcorn Linnets, signing players for the first time and some of his most memorable moments as a gaffer. Cal then speaks about how he ended up becoming Chester's first team manager, their recent FA Cup runs and the difficulties of working at a fan own club. Cal continues with how his time at Chester came to an end, why fan abuse crossed the line with a fan storming the changing room & also calling his house at 3am plus how he found out Phil Parkinson was replacing him at the club. Finally, he talks about what is next for him in his career and why he can't wait to get back into football management.

Here we are for episode 821! In which Cromitty's old mentor - the arrogant Alonzo Crutch - comes back to visit... what is he planning and how will Hubert get on with meeting someone even ruder than he is!? In extra material we celebrate Calum's birthday and discuss electric kettles and days gone by with Birthday Twin Andy! Our next episode, #821 is another holiday episode as Mister Yeti and Paul From School head to Kent to visit Whitstable, Canterbury, Folkestone, Margate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs - not to mention heading out for a traditional Sunday lunch, visiting the most haunted village in Britain and much much more! Do join us! Email us at shyyeti@yahoo.co.uk if you have comments - you can even send a sound-file and I'll include it.

Duncan and Calum are back to get stuck into some of the most exciting bottlings being released in this month's Outturn. Tune in to hear the pair get set for Scotland's long-awaited return to a World Cup, switch up their Tasting Notes, and uncork a whisky with breathtaking colour.

Pav and Calum are back, and they are talking about some of the most confusing updates in the market. With Ted still missing in action, the boys are left in the studio to figure out why on earth Bitcoin is taking a dive while certain altcoins are absolutely throwing a party. In this episode, we are tackling the total shocker coming out of the Stellar Lumens camp, with XLM casually exploding 65% in just seven days on the back of institutional real-world asset hype. We are also unpacking an absolutely wild court case in the US where someone is trying to lay a legal claim to 3.8 million dormant Bitcoin, essentially trying to use old lost-and-found property laws to seize $85 billion worth of Satoshi's stash. Calum explains why traditional crypto ETFs are looking pretty weak right now, even though Hyperliquid and AI tokens completely ignore the gravity of the market and continue to pull vertical runs. Plus, Pav drops some essential, no-nonsense advice on how to actually invest and keep your head straight when the charts look completely chaotic. You'll hear:  ~ How XLM just woke up from a multi-year nap to post a massive 65% green candle ~ The $85 Billion Satoshi Lawsuit ~ Traditional fund flows are slowing down while decentralized protocols and AI treasuries are getting greedy ~ The AI infrastructure: Boom or Burst? ~ Pav's Survival Guide on how to position your portfolio and manage your emotions  … and much more!

Euan continues running for loot in hell with Diablo 4 enters the Dark Pictures archives with Directive 8020 and begins Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. More to come from that. Calum caved and bought into the early access of Heroes of Might and Magic: The Olden Era. We all knew he would. We both discuss 007: First Light and if IO Interactive can really pull off a more directed single player game. Spoilers, they absolutely can.

Ted has officially abandoned the studio for a two-week holiday, so Pav is joined by our resident fraud and risk expert, Calum, to try and make sense of a market that is tearing up the traditional crypto playbook. The boys are breaking down the real drivers behind the HYPE pump, looking at everything from Goldman Sachs quietly scooping up massive positions to a brand new US Spot ETF sucking in $74 million in its first week and a half. Plus, we look at why historical midterm election data says a stock market drawdown is looming between May and October, why billionaire fund managers are dumping 95% of their blue-chip bags, and the legendary "Pentagon Pizza Index" that might be flashing an early warning sign for global markets. You'll hear:  - How Hyperliquid is completely eclipsing the rest of the market and trading in brand new territory . - Why giant fund managers and NASDAQ-listed companies lare aggressively building Hyperliquid treasuries  - Inside the $74 million in cumulative net flows that completely flipped the "sell the news" script  - The historical data that shows stock markets behaviour between May and October during a midterm year. - Why Kevin Warsh stepping in could signal a historical 6-to-12 month market drawdown . - The hilarious (but oddly accurate) way internet sleuths track geopolitical tension via late-night fast-food orders  … and much more!

Hello friends! Today's a hybrid episode — some security content up top about a new certification I've kicked off, followed by an aggressively quick trip to Tangent Town. Feel free to bail after the security stuff if tangents aren't your thing! The security part: starting CARTP I've started the Certified Azure Red Team Professional course from Altered Security (enterprisesecurity.io). It's the Azure follow-up to CRTP, which I took a few years back. Quick notes: Why now: Active Directory and internal pentests will always be my first love, but more and more of our customers are shifting to hybrid or full-Azure environments. Time to get some formal training in that lane. Self-paced vs. live: They offer both. I'm past the point of giving up Saturdays to security training, so I went with the ~$500 self-paced 30-day option. You get a portal, a lab manual, and a remote Windows VM with low-priv creds into a target Azure tenancy to attack and enumerate. The catch: The lab manual is thorough on "do this, see this output" steps, but light on "and here's the wow moment hiding in line 47 of the output." With the live class, an instructor would highlight that stuff in real time. In the self-paced version, you're on your own to find the meaning in 200 lines of output. The fix: Started a Claude project that's effectively co-teaching the class with me. I paste command output and ask "what's the important bit here?" — Claude pulls out the line that matters and explains why (e.g., "this user has write access to a key vault, which means…"). Way more efficient than ALT-TABbing alone. Tools I've touched so far: ROADtools, GraphRunner, and Monkey365 (kind of a PingCastle-for-Azure that spits out a health-check report). Where I'm at: Module 4 of 40-something. Course culminates in a 24-hour exam, which I swore I'd never do again after CRTP — but James Bond and Justin Bieber both say "Never say never." Tangent Town: The Shake Shack incident. It's gross and not funny. But kind of funny. Saw (and sort of met) Calum Scott at the Fillmore in Minneapolis. Standing-room-only venue, but my wife found a clutch spot wedged between a security barrier and a support beam, perfect for our family. During an acoustic set, Calum and his band came right past us. My wife (unable to help herself) gave his shoulder a squeezy squeeze. I held out for the fist bump on his return trip to the stage — and we're basically best friends now. I highly recommend his show: very positive guy, family-friendly, genuine. Seven super-fast non-spoilery movie reviews from plane rides and hotel nights: Coherence — for smart people. I am not those people. Probably great if you can follow it. Deadstream (Netflix) — YouTuber live-streams a night in a haunted house. Surprisingly entertaining, a couple of real jump-scares. Get Away — a family vacations on a forbidden island. Goes somewhere unexpected in the third act. Hell House LLC — found-footage haunted house. A couple of genuine flinches; story was just OK. Hokum — Adam Scott as a writer at a hotel with a personal history. Creepy-crawly, goes to some dark places. Loved it. Predator: Badlands — went in expecting mind-numbing action, but I loved it! I'd give it an 8 or 9 out of 10. It had action, LOLs, and even some tender Predator moments. Going to watch it again soon. Obsession — young man buys a wish-granting trinket so a young lady will like him. It works. Then it really works. The movie slowly goes into full-on bonkers sauce mode! Satisfying but uncomfortable to watch at parts. That's it! 7MinSec.com for services, 7MinSec.club for the Substack, 7MinSec.wiki for pentest tips and scripts.

On episode 51 of NWA Crock and Roll, the crew is back in timeline with guest Logan Crosland stepping in to cover for Calum, who is still mourning Clash at the Castle, amongst other things and they discuss the first half of June 1986 and final build to the Bash in July! A big return, US Title stripped from Magnum, an uncomfortable Rock and Roll Express Contest, Flair vs. Luger in Florida and so much more!

"It would be humanity's biggest ever unforced error."Silicon Valley has changed its tune. After years of warning us their AI was going to take all the jobs, the big AI companies — and their investors — would now rather we stop talking about it. A16Z calls the jobs apocalypse talk "unhelpful marketing, bad economics, and worse history" (note the order). Even writers Dan trusts more, like Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, have lately poured cold water on the idea.Calum Chace is not so blasé.Ten years ago, Calum coined the term and wrote the book, The Economic Singularity — the moment machines can do every job we'd pay a human to do, cheaper and better. He thinks we're fast approaching that event horizon, and we'd better have a plan for what a world without paid work actually looks like.Calum is also the co-founder of Conscium, which verifies AI agents before they do something they shouldn't. He's a self-described "apocaloptimist" — he thinks full automation could be the best thing that ever happens to humanity, or the worst, depending on whether we bother to plan for it now.In this episode:Why Calum thinks full automation is inevitable (and roughly when)The "apocaloptimist" case: why this could be the best thing to ever happen to usWhat the bad version looks like — and how fast it could unravelWhat COVID accidentally taught us about distributing money at scaleWhy self-driving cars didn't wake us up — and what mightThe AI agent that wiped a company's database and confessed it just "guessed"What Calum is building at Conscium to verify AI agents before they do worsePractical advice for parents, students, and anyone trying to plan a careerSupport Future Around & Find OutFollow Dan on LinkedInGet the free newsletterBecome a paid subscriber and help future proof FAFO!---Music by Jonathan Zalben

Friends, in today's Gospel (Luke 1:67–79), the Canticle of Zechariah declares how Jesus fulfils the Old Testament's expectations of salvation. Once we grasp that Jesus was no ordinary teacher and healer but Yahweh moving among his people, we can begin to understand his words and actions more clearly.

This week on Paranormal Activity: Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom opens two listener encounters that don't just unsettle, they fundamentally challenge what we think we understand about places, presence, and memory.Calum hiked alone to a hill on the Isle of Skye as the light began to fade. He didn't know the locals call it Hill of the Voice. He does now. What started as a faint, drawn-out note became layers of inhuman singing — overlapping, circling, tightening around him like something adjusting itself. And then he felt it beneath his feet. Not a sound. Not a shape. Something occupied. Something listening back. A local later told him the singing isn't meant for people. And if you hear it clearly… you've already been noticed.Then, Amara travelled alone to Kennin-ji Temple in Kyoto to observe a morning service. She sat quietly. The chanting began. And then without knowing the words, without understanding the language, her mouth started moving. Perfectly in time. In a voice that wasn't hers. Deeper. Older. Worn-in, like it had been used across lifetimes. When it ended, she asked a monk what had happened. His answer has never left her: "Not everyone who arrives here is arriving for the first time."What happens when a place doesn't just hold energy… but uses whoever walks into it? And what does it mean when something ancient recognises you before you recognise it?Producer Dom reacts, unpacks, and explores the folklore and deeper theory behind both: from the fairy mounds of Scottish Gaelic tradition to the Zen Buddhist belief that practice never truly ends… it just waits for the right vessel to return.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

The Condemned (2007) wraps up Sam's reality-TV birthday month, and not one trashy TV episode was discussed. Which is funny, because all the TV we watched in Portugal was trash reality TV: which, on that note, shoutout to Ridiculousness. So, it's a movie made by WWE starring Stone Cold Steve Austin, preaching about audiences condoning violence. It probably shouldn't be taken seriously, right? Unfortunately, this film takes itself so very seriously that it even ends with Nickelback. Bonus for listeners, Calum gives a synopsis of his read of Fifty Shades of Grey. Don't say we don't treat you good.Join us next week as we start our Downton Abbey Month!

To celebrate, we decided to do something a little different this week and watch the two brand new episodes of the new season of Scrubs. Sam loved Scrubs, Calum was a casual viewer, so does this revival hold up? It'll be a very sad 200th episode if it doesn't.Join us next week as we watch EDtv (1999)

I feel like I should have been part of that.Now listen, people have got to make decisions. I love it when people make decisions and they go ‘yes' or ‘no'.

For good or ill, the post World War II era built by the Baby Boomers seems to be rapidly coming to an end.  But what will replace it?  What might be done to prevent global conflicts and bloodshed as the old order begins to break down?  And what should younger conservatives seek to conserve in this era of chaotic change?  Joining Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is Director of Research at the Danube Institute, Calum Nicholson to share how the Anglosphere often misunderstands the way the rest of the world thinks and how that might help us better prepare for what's ahead. About Calum Nicholson From the University of Cambridge bio With a background in social anthropology and human geography, Dr Calum T. M. Nicholson has conducted original research that reconsiders how we understand the societal implications of climate change, notably in the context of its relationship to human migration and international development. A former development consultant and Parliamentary researcher, at PACE Dr Nicholson teaches courses on international development, international migration, and the politics of climate change. Dr Nicholson also teaches a well-received course on the political, cultural, and historical significance of social media. He is currently Director of Research at the Danube Institute, and was formerly Director of the Climate Policy Institute. His new book is entitled Climate Migration: critical perspectives for law, policy, and research.   Introducing Conservative Cagematches Ever since Leo Strauss published his magnum opus Natural Right and History, which ends by heavily implying Edmund Burke opened the door for the evils of historicism in the modern world, a great fissure in conservative nerddom erupted between those who align with either titan. Were Strauss' criticism of Burke warranted? Did Burke disavow natural rights and pave the way for the evils of authoritarianism, fascism, Marxism, and progressivism to come? Does a careful, esoteric reading of Natural Right and History reveal the Strauss secret family chili recipe? On Wednesday, March 4 at 6PM EST / 5PM CST, Saving Elephants will assemble an all-star panel to answer these questions and more. Representing Edmund Burke: Greg Collins of Yale University and Lauren Hall of the Rochester Institute of Technology Representing Leo Strauss: Steve Hayward of Pepperdine and the international woman of mystery, Lucretia of the University of Arizona You can watch the livestream on YouTube or Facebook  

The party picks up the pieces in the aftermath of their fight with Calum's army. [Content Warning: Secret Codes, Rotten Chives, Possible Septicemia] Want more Spout Lore in your Life? Check out our spinoff show

Laura shows up and immediately asks for the latest. Kate hands her the phone, and Laura sees that Kate still hasn't responded to his text. Laura calls her out — she can't do to Richard what she's done to other guys. Text him back. Kate finally does, but she decides she's still going to keep moving forward with the 12 Dates.The next date is with Liam, a guy she dated a few years ago — and apparently ghosted. Naturally, the date is an escape room, because nothing says closure like being trapped together. They end up working well as a team, make up, and the sparks start to fly. After they escape, Kate asks him to grab coffee the next morning.Later, she stops by the shop to help Calum bake for the upcoming event, since Sarah is too busy to show up — even though the whole thing was her idea.Meanwhile, Kate's dad goes on a mysterious outing with Evelyn. They stop at a bar, where Evelyn opens up about her past. Eventually, they end up at a cliff and literally scream their grief into the void. Healing!The next day, Kate is feeling overwhelmed juggling two potential suitors. She even accidentally sends a text meant for Liam to Richard. What a mess.But when she shows up for coffee with Liam, he ghosts her — and then texts her to say he “wins.” Cool guy behavior.Back at the shop, Sarah brings in a potential investor for Calum's posh pies. Calum immediately hates both the guy and his ideas. He kicks the investor out… then kicks everyone else out too — and ends up breaking up with Sarah. When Kate finds out, she assumes it's because Sarah told him about his ex, which opens up a whole emotional can of worms Kate was not prepared for.It's time for the next date: salsa dancing. Kate attacks it aggressively. But wouldn't you know it — Richard shows up. They ditch the event, wander around the city together, and eventually end up at Kate's place, where they kiss… only to be interrupted by her mom, Delilah, showing up unannounced. Total buzzkill.Kate wants nothing to do with her mom. When she goes to see Mac, he's also not interested in dealing with Delilah — but Kate follows him to book club anyway, where Evelyn gets a little jealous seeing her there.Laura discovers that the 12 Dates needs a venue for the final event and suggests Calum's shop. Calum is not thrilled with this idea.Meanwhile, Kate's mom keeps trying to spend time with her and Mac, which Kate resists. It stirs up a lot of old memories — her first Christmas without her mom, and the Christmas after Calum's mom died, when Kate was there for him.Eventually, Calum agrees to host the party at the shop. That night, he and Kate hang out while she tries to play wingwoman for him. When her mom shows up again, Calum encourages Kate not to push her away. Kate finally talks to her mom and promises they'll spend more time together at home.Later, Kate goes back to Calum and starts listing all the reasons he'd be a great catch — including that he's a good kisser. This triggers a memory from their childhood: them kissing, Calum telling her he loved her, Kate panicking and running inside… then coming back out to see him kissing another girl.Back in the present, Calum tells her that kissing her was never a joke to him.And then he kisses her again.

But that's exactly what happened to Kate.Kate is currently taking care of her dad, and life is just passing her by. That's why she did this thing — this thing that ended up giving her the most amazing Christmas ever. She fell in love. But we'll get there.Cut back to three weeks earlier. She goes to check on her dad, Mac, who—despite being supposed to move around more—is doing the opposite, which has her worried.She stops by a coffee shop and her friend Laura tells her she got her a Christmas gift: a Christmas-themed dating service. Kate is NOT into it.So Laura, Calum, and Mac stage a full-on intervention. Her dad tells her she's too young to spend every evening with him. She reluctantly agrees to the 12 Dates thing… which starts in 90 minutes!She goes, and it's very elaborate. A horse and carriage takes her to a magical igloo in the woods. The problem is… her date never shows.Meanwhile, Mac finally gets back out there. He goes to the coffee shop and bumps into Evalyn — and he's not upset about it.Kate decides to give the service another shot and ends up on a skating date with a guy named Oliver. Despite the fact that he talks about his ex the entire time, they find themselves standing under mistletoe. They decide to go for it and kiss — which immediately leads to him breaking down in tears.Mac is walking around town getting a little exercise when Evalyn pops out and drags him into a dance workout class. He doesn't stay long and walks out.It's time for Date #3. She shows up for a baking competition date and meets her GIANT date, Anthony. The date doesn't go terribly… until he suddenly wants to talk about marriage and kids. She doesn't even know what she wants, and he's like, “Well then why are you even doing this?!”Evalyn helps Mac home and basically tells him to stop feeling sorry for himself. He ends up back at her dance class and crushes it.Kate gets flowers and a card from Richard — the first-date no-show. He apologizes for goofing and says he's down at the coffee shop waiting for her. But by the time she builds up the courage to go, he's gone. He leaves his number, so she texts him that he missed out again. He replies that next time he'll wait all night.This turns into a flirty texting conversation. She finds out he's a journalist working on a story about the 12 Dates. He's also a love skeptic. And he loves Die Hard. Maybe this is the perfect match.At the next date event, she talks with a woman who fell for her first date — but sees him dancing with someone else. So Kate becomes fully committed to getting those two back together… and she does.Mac is putting up Christmas lights, feeling himself, until he falls off the ladder and re-injures himself. Instead of calling Kate, he calls Evalyn. She comes over to help — but Kate is NOT thrilled when she finds out.It's time for the next event: Mates & Dates. A lot happens here.Richard finally shows up… and he might be the hottest guy in the world.Crying-in-her-mouth Oliver is there — and it turns out his ex-girlfriend is Calum's current girlfriend, Sarah. Calum shows up to support Kate. It's A LOT.Richard gets frustrated that Kate is running around helping everyone else all night, so he goes to leave. Kate runs after him and ends up kissing him. He kisses her right back — REAL BIG ONES — while Calum and Sarah watch through the window… Sarah pumped, Calum not so much.
