Today on Word Balloon, I'm joined by acclaimed TV writer and comic book creator Christopher Cantwell. You know him as the co-creator of AMC's Halt and Catch Fire, but today we're diving into his latest project: the brand-new IDW Star Trek series, Redshirts — a sharp, subversive take on the classic Trek trope that finally gives the most expendable crew members their due. We also explore his standout Marvel runs, including a definitive modern take on Iron Man, the psychological complexity of Doctor Doom, and the gritty crime world of Golden Goblin. Plus, we get into his recent DC Comics work, where he brings the Challengers of the Unknown back into the spotlight in a wild miniseries featuring the Justice League.

Het plotselinge ontslag en de even snelle terugkeer van OpenAI-topman Sam Altman, in een bizarre soap die zich eind 2023 ontspinde, wordt momenteel verfilmd. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Deze OpenAI-soap wordt onder de naam 'Artificial' verfilmd onder leiding van Luca Guadagnino (bekend van de romantische tennisfilm Challengers uit 2024), nota bene in opdracht van Amazon, dat eigenaar is van MGM Studios. Andrew Garfield, die ruim tien jaar terug nog Spider-Man speelde, zou in beeld zijn voor de rol van Altman. Verder in deze Tech Update: Google en OpenAI krijgen nieuwe concurrentie uit China want ook Manus laat je nu video's genereren met AI, maar dan met meerdere scenes in een groter geheel Bekende pornosites Pornhub, YouPorn en RedTube zijn door het moederbedrijf Aylo uit de lucht gehaald in Frankrijk, als protest tegen nieuwe leeftijdsverificatie-eisen See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Luca Guadagnino returns to the cinema following the roaring success of Challengers with an adaptation of William Burroughs' auto-fictional experimental novel of love in the age of intensely felt internalised homophobia, Queer. Beyond the film continuing the trend for gorgeously dirty white linen suits on film, Queer is a masterful, impressionistic exploration of living in bodies and with desires that are tangled up with socially shaped self-loathing and the loneliness that follows from fear.

¡Muy buenas, chavalería! Volvemos con un episodio post-Campamento Barton 2025 para repasar todo lo vivido, las risas, las partidas y hasta los goles inesperados. En este episodio especial, Kalino, Arribas, Amarillo y Carte se sientan a charlar, ya más relajados, sobre el tinglado que montaron en Zaragoza del 8 al 11 de mayo, también está Clint, pero no mucho.Nos metemos de lleno a reflexionar sobre cómo fue esta edición, desde la organización (con sus cosillas del hotel y los agradecimientos a toda la gente que echó una mano, que no fueron pocos, ¡mil gracias a todos!) hasta el ambientazo que se vivió. Hablamos de la importancia de la integración de la gente nueva (¡que este año fue un 30%!) y damos algunas ideas locas (o no tanto) para futuras ediciones.Por supuesto, comentamos las actividades y torneos que montamos, como el **Vis Bellicum**, el campeonato de **Challengers** o el genial torneo de **Blitzbowll** que se curró Sandodenko Producciones. También dedicamos un buen rato a hablar del currazo que se hizo con el **Clocktower** para mejorar la experiencia. ¡Chapó para esa comunidad que escucha y reacciona! ¡Gracias!Y, cómo no, repasamos algunos de los juegos que pasaron por mesa. Hubo de todo: desde wargames como **Stonewall Jackson Way**, **New Cold War** o **Gunslingerl**, euros intensos como **Civolution**, o el inesperado "golazo del campamento": el **Monopoly Knockout**, que se ha convertido en la sensación piscinera del verano y aún no ha empezado. También charlamos sobre joyitas como **Rise & Fall**, **Moon Bloodbath Colony**, **Seti**, **Habemus Papam** y el rápido y tenso **Batman: Gotham City Chronicle**.Escucha nuestras batallitas, nuestras impresiones (las buenas y las no tan buenas), las anécdotas y qué juegos nos volaron la cabeza (o nos dejaron un poco fríos).#podcast #juegosdemesa #boardgames #CampamentoBarton #VisLudica #analisis #reseña #CharlasLudicas #eventosludicos #boardgamepodcast

On one hand, tariffs are causing significant disruption in the global automotive industry. On the other, the electric vehicle (EV) market continues to surge, seemingly unaffected. According to the latest Q1 2025 data from Rho Motion, 4.1 million EVs were sold globally in Q1 2025—a 29% year-over-year increase compared to Q1 2024. Growth is particularly strong in China (+36%), followed by Europe (+22%) and North America (+16%).To help make sense of these opposing dynamics—and to assess which OEMs are likely to lead or fall behind—Laurent and Gerard have brought in a top-tier expert: Michael J. Dunne. Michael is the CEO of Dunne Insights LLC, a San Diego-based firm specializing in electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and battery supply chains. With over three decades of experience, Michael has held prominent roles including President of General Motors Indonesia and Managing Director of JD Power China. He is also the author of American Wheels, Chinese Roads (2011), and the host of the podcast Driving With Dunne.Key Insights from Our Conversation:China: BYD reigns supreme, followed by legacy brands, tech giants, and emerging players.Japan: Toyota, the shogun of the market, stands tall—while the rest struggle to keep up.Korea: A tale of strong potential under threat.Germany: VW appears stuck in reverse, Mercedes feels increasingly "Chinese," and BMW navigates a narrow path.USA: Stellantis, Ford, and GM—industries in limbo, often described as “zombies.”The Wild Card: Tesla. With Elon at the helm, anything is possible—genius or chaos.Across all regions, we forecast who the likely winners are, who may barely survive, and who seem destined for the dustbin of history.

When a baseball connects perfectly with the bat and sails over the fence, there's a special feeling that stays with you forever. That magical moment—one that Clearwater Little League board member Amanda Cole hopes every child experiences—sits at the heart of our latest conversation about youth sports, community building, and creating future leaders.Fresh off our successful fundraiser that raised $3,500 for the league, Amanda reveals what makes Clearwater Little League special beyond the typical base hits and strikeouts. With over 360 players each season, their programs extend far beyond traditional baseball, including six Challengers teams that provide children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to experience America's pastime. Every fall, they host the statewide Challenger jamboree, welcoming teams from across Florida for a weekend celebration of inclusive baseball.Behind the pristine fields and impressive facilities lies a volunteer-driven organization tackling significant challenges. Hurricane damage last season forced the closure of five fields, while annual expenses—including a surprising $10,000 just for baseballs—require continuous fundraising efforts. Yet through careful stewardship, registration fees remain remarkably affordable ($35 for T-Ball), ensuring financial barriers don't prevent participation. The league provides equipment for newcomers and creates a supportive environment where players can develop confidence while building relationships with caring adults.Amanda's vision for the future includes doubling their softball program and increasing female representation in coaching and umpiring roles. However, with seven fields already booked from afternoon until night throughout the season, community support through sponsorships (ranging from $600 to $25,000) and volunteering has never been more crucial to their continued growth.Whether you're looking to register a player, volunteer your time, or support youth development through sponsorship, visit clearwaterlittleleague.com today to discover how you can help build brave, honest leaders who care about their community both on and off the diamond.

It's game, set and love matches in our Yosra's pick of 2024 films, as she, Mick and Hannah watch Luca Guadagnino's sweaty tale of rivalry on and off the courts. Starring Zendaya, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist, it was a bit of a critics' darling and a box-office champ. But does that mean a flying sausage for our three women? Or will they take issue with the plot, the characters, the tennis, the depiction of women (woman), and the Golden Globe-winning score? Ooh, it's a mystery.  Learn more about your ad choices.

365 days ago, the greatest film--no--piece of art to ever graze this stratosphere was released. Of course, we are referring to the ever-evolving, life-altering, sweaty crevices-loving, Challengers. Julia and Miranda discuss their favorite (underrated) scenes, strongest (often unknown) details, biggest aha moments, greatest background character, and more. Join these two on this Challengersversary as they reminisce on literally the one thing they are very genuinely qualified to discuss. Luca, Zendaya, Josh, Art, Justin, Atticus, Trent, Darnell, and everyone else who may have ever been involved (us included...), we will see you next year. Thank you for everything, sincerely. ATP 4EVEREp. Recorded on Apr. 26, 2025.Follow us on Instagram! @the.p.in.rasp@juliapeterkins @miranda.macgillivraySend us a textSupport the show
