Somehow we've already reached the point where the conversation spirals from Steven Spielberg's new alien movie into whether Lear's digestive system could accidentally start an interplanetary war.Just another totally normal morning.The gang kicks things off with a packed weekend preview, including Lear's big Pageant event, Moon's soccer watch party in Illinois, and the upcoming Night at the Rizzlies. Then things take a sharp left turn into the great extraterrestrial debate after discussion of Spielberg's latest sci-fi blockbuster sparks a surprisingly deep conversation about intelligent life beyond Earth.Do aliens exist? Are they already here? Is Earth basically the North Sentinel Island of the galaxy? Could heaven secretly be a spaceship? These are apparently the questions that happen when you give a radio show access to microphones before coffee fully kicks in.The crew dives into theories ranging from religion and simulation concepts to alien overlords, government coverups, and whether any of us would voluntarily board a mysterious spacecraft in the middle of nowhere. Some members of the show are ready to leave Earth immediately. Others have follow-up questions about bathrooms.There's also a healthy amount of celebrity and entertainment chaos. Learn breaks down the new Sublime album featuring Jakob Nowell, Fleetwood Mac's upgraded greatest-hits collection, Motley Crue's theatrical return, Sammy Hagar's upcoming tour, and Larry David's newest HBO project. Along the way, the gang somehow turns a discussion about classic rock into a deep dive on band members dating each other, divorcing each other, and then somehow continuing to make hit records together.The movie conversation keeps rolling with discussions about Spielberg's return to alien storytelling, the highest-rated films of the last 25 years, Christopher Nolan's domination of IMDb rankings, and why Whiplash remains one of the most stressful movies ever made.Plus:The Blues' Stanley Cup anniversary memoriesO.J. Simpson jokes that somehow still happenThe weirdest alien theories you've ever heardWhy Moon thinks Earth might just be a tiny forgotten corner of something much biggerMotley Crue appreciation hourTom Hanks versus voice acting categoriesAlan Tudyk getting the respect he deservesLarry David being Larry DavidBirthday shoutouts and Crap on CelebritiesIt's the kind of daily comedy show episode that starts with local events and ends with humanity questioning its place in the universe.If you enjoy pop culture commentary, weird news, celebrity gossip, classic rock debates, science-fiction rabbit holes, and a daily comedy show that never stays on topic for more than three minutes, Episode 200 delivers exactly the kind of beautiful disaster you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show.Thanks for making this daily comedy show part of your day.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://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.

Laci and Matt kick off the Summer of Nolan with a look at Nolan's early career—his feature debut Following (1998) and then his breakout hit Memento (2001). But first, we share our big-picture thoughts on Christopher Nolan: Why is he the world's most popular director? Does he identify too much with J. Robert Oppenheimer? Is he too boring and well-adjusted to make a good subject for a podcast miniseries? Like his hero Steven Spielberg, Nolan didn't attend film school. Instead, he taught himself to make movies by making movies. He self-financed and produced Following a few hours at a time, but it already showed his gifts as a director and the writing and editing styles that would become hallmarks of all his future films. Working on a considerably larger budget, Nolan then made Memento, which became an indie sensation on the late-90s/early-2000s film festival circuit. It then became a surprise hit at the box office and an even bigger success on home video, launching Nolan's storied Hollywood career. 1-Week Rental tells the story of Memento before diving deep into a discussion and analysis of the movie itself. Watch this episode in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/c5RuE5-Xv1A Next week (June 19, 2026). The Summer of Nolan continues with Batman Begins (2005)! The Summer of Nolan is our summer 2026 miniseries covering the movie career of Christopher Nolan through nine movies on the main feed (plus additional episodes on the Patreon!), presented in chronological order, starting with Memento and going through Oppenheimer.

The Rizzuto Show accidentally becomes the FBI of lunch when Rafe embarks on a highly scientific sandwich reconnaissance mission that quickly spirals into one of the greatest culinary betrayals of modern history.After yesterday's LeGrand's sandwich feast, questions remained. Important questions. Questions like: Who ate the last sandwich? Why did Rafe immediately end up at Penn Station? And most importantly, why was every sandwich somehow loaded with onions despite specifically trying to avoid onions?This episode begins with a completely normal discussion about Letterkenny Live coming to town before veering directly into a full-blown sandwich investigation. Rafe reports back from his undercover visit to Penn Station, where he encountered slippery floors, mysterious customers, questionable air conditioning, suspicious fries, and enough onions to launch an international incident. Moon defends his beloved Penn Station while everyone else attempts to determine whether the establishment is a restaurant, a social experiment, or a front for something far stranger.As the evidence piles up, the crew debates bread quality, sandwich chain rankings, air fryers, and whether Jimmy John's bread should be classified as food, flotation device, or building material.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, featuring Green Day's upcoming movie New Year's Rev, Christopher Nolan movie rankings, the ongoing Beckham family feud, Home Improvement reboot rumors, and a look at the upcoming Social Network sequel starring Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg.The chaos continues when the gang dives into a debate over the greatest TV and movie vehicles of the 1980s. The General Lee, Ecto-1, KITT, the Family Truckster, Christine, Ferris Bueller's Ferrari, and more all enter the conversation as Moon somehow finds a way to turn the segment into a masterclass on obscure movie cars nobody else remembers.Along the way you'll also hear:Letterkenny Live excitementBret Michaels coming to townThe world's saddest Penn Station dining roomThe mystery of the fake-bearded customerWhy fries belong in cupsChristopher Nolan argumentsProperty Brothers confusionDavid Beckham's Hollywood honorThe Skarsgård family group chatWeirdly passionate bread discussionsClassic movie car nostalgiaAnd enough sarcasm to power an entire cityIf you're looking for a daily comedy show packed with ridiculous stories, pop culture commentary, food reviews gone wrong, celebrity gossip, and absolutely unnecessary debates about sandwich bread, you've come to the right place.This daily comedy show proves once again that no topic is too small to become a full-blown argument. Whether it's onions, movies, family feuds, or fictional vehicles, the crew somehow finds a way to make everything significantly more complicated.Thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your routine.

Film producer Jason Solomons and Guardian columnist Zoe Williams join Tom Sutcliffe to discuss Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day – a film which looks at whether aliens are really out there. John D. MacDonald's psychological thriller The Executioners has inspired two Cape Fear films and now there's a 10-part TV series starring Amy Adams and Javier Bardem. Jason and Zoe give their verdicts. They also talk about M. C. Escher's major exhibition at Somerset House. Famous for drawing optical illusions, impossible buildings, and endless patterns, the Dutch artist's work has inspired film scenes in Labyrinth and Christopher Nolan's Inception. Plus we will be revealing the winners of the Women's Prize for Fiction and Non-Fiction.Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe Producer: Claire Bartleet

On episode 158 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Griffin Schiller discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, Inception (2010). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. How does someone follow up one of the most popular, important films of the last 25 years? Make one of the most original films of a generation, as Nolan cashed in his blank check from The Dark Knight to create a heist, action film set within the world of people's dreams. Inception became the next obsession for audiences, fully trusting Nolan to take them on a thrilling ride, making him more than just the guy who can director the Batman films, but a filmmaker that conjures up event films that every needs to see urgently once they are released. Over time, Inception has become, for people like Griffin, an important piece of art that has shaped their movie-going experience, or for Ryan and Jay, a nostalgic experience that's legacy is complicated due to its pacing issues and over-explanations; thus making for an episode where a balanced conversation over this complicated movie takes place. Ryan, Jay, and Griffin break down their thoughts on the film, when and where they saw it, Nolan's action set pieces in the film, DiCaprio's involvement in the making of the film, what ultimately works and doesn't work inside the film, and if Nolan should ever make a Bond film. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h27m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Christopher Nolan with a review of his next film, The Dark Knight Rises. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Programa dedicado a los experimentos realizados por el investigador y científico Jacobo Grinberg Zylberbaum para profundizar en el proceso de creación de las experiencias y su relación la mente. Jacobo Grinberg fue un investigador de la mente y de la conciencia, pionero en su campo y que llegó a desarrollar un trabajo muy amplio. Grinberg hizo propuestas basadas en sus experimentos, en lo que encontró que la realidad tal y como la percibimos, es un producto elaborado por nuestro cerebro a partir de una interacción con un campo global y tras un procesamiento jerárquico.Conceptos como la teoría sintérgica, el hipercampo, el factor de direccionalidad o la expansión del presente los desarrolló tras los hallazgos encontrados. Investigando en los diferentes grados de organización del espacio y el tiempo, trató de conocer a fondo estas dimensiones así como la materia. También llevó a cabo experimentos de percepción extrasensorial con niños con el finde averiguar si la percepción va más allá de los órganos sensoriales, con resultados sorprendentes.

Ian Hunter has spent four decades building miniatures, supervising visual effects and thinking like a filmmaker on some of the most demanding productions in Hollywood. In this episode, he traces a career that began in a garden shed with a punched-up piece of German black velvet and ended up — via James Cameron, Tim Burton, the Coen Brothers, and Christopher Nolan — on some of the most iconic screens in the world.Ian grew up surrounded by art. His father painted oils and acrylics, played music and did pastel portraits, and encouraged his three sons to make things — even when those things destroyed the materials he'd given them. The moment that really clicked, Ian recalls, was being handed a model kit as a kid and taking to it immediately. That creative instinct only grew stronger. In high school, he and his brothers were making Super 8 films, scratching laser effects onto the film with a pin and blowing up overloaded resistors for explosions. One of those films required them to fake-rob a local bank — and the encounter that followed, with the surprisingly enthusiastic vice president of the Monrovia Wells Fargo, led to a meeting with the mother of Rick Baker, whose work Ian had recently encountered in a traveling special effects exhibition and been completely floored by.After drifting away from an aerospace course at Cal Poly Pomona and working in an acid bath plastics factory, Ian answered a classified ad looking for model makers — and on the strength of a modest portfolio, was hired the same day. His first feature was The Abyss. He and fellow model maker Jim McGee built the flooded engine room of the Montana submarine with almost no direction beyond James Cameron's bare-bones description, and shipped it to South Carolina having never seen a frame of the live action. The production was not without its disasters — Ian found himself entangled in the notorious wax crane fiasco, and talks about the valuable early lesson of knowing when to call something out before it goes wrong.From there, a friend pointed him toward Boss Film, Richard Edlund's company in Marina del Rey, where a chance encounter with departing model supervisor Mark Stetson changed everything. What was supposed to be a one-week favour on a music video turned into six years. Working with Stetson took Ian from being a junior model maker building things in isolation to visiting sets, talking directly with directors, and understanding that miniature work only succeeds when it becomes invisible — just more shots in a movie, telling the story rather than showing off the technique.Among the projects from that period, Ian talks at length about Total Recall — including the behind-the-scenes chaos of a scale miscommunication on the final day of shooting, a scene involving a little person that nobody had accounted for, and the moment he glued a Coke can to a model building because they were running out of time. That Coke can, dressed up and shot from the front, made it into the finished film. So did one in Waterworld. And Inception. And Interstellar. And, after the story apparently got around, director Fede Álvarez greeted Ian on Alien: Romulus by asking exactly where he was planning to hide it.Ian built the suburb for Edward Scissorhands — deliberately making it more bland and mundane than real life — and talks about one of his proudest in-camera shots: the final view through the bedroom window and out over the snow-dusted neighbourhood, achieved with a 1:24 scale model and real snow shakers on the night. On Batman Returns he built the Penguin's zoo, and describes receiving one of his all-time favourite compliments from Tim Burton — who, after watching a pyrotechnics test, asked simply: "Where did you shoot this?" Not realising he was looking at a miniature. The zoo also gave Ian one of his best examples of a happy accident: a polar bear sculpture that was supposed to explode but instead toppled slowly sideways with flames coming out of its feet. Tim Burton loved it. The entire subsequent engineering challenge was figuring out how to recreate the mistake.On the X-Files movie, Ian and his partner Matthew Gratzner built a collapsing federal building on a tight budget, referencing Oklahoma City bombing photographs for the detail of damaged concrete and exposed floors. The late Roger Ebert reviewed the finished film and said the sequence should have been cut — because it was too reminiscent of real tragedy. Ian reflects on that as a marker: they'd gotten past the technique and into the emotion.The conversation turns to Christopher Nolan, with whom Ian has worked across multiple films. Ian describes Nolan as collaborative but definitive, someone who discusses a shot in depth and then tells you exactly what he wants. He talks about the liberation Nolan offered on Interstellar when he told the crew to stop following the previs — pre-vis is just a guy at a computer on a Friday trying to get the shot out the door, Nolan told them; if you can see a better angle, do that instead. The result was that the miniature crew started shooting faster, and a number of shots that had been planned as digital moved across to the physical side. Ian also describes the meticulous sun-angle calculation that went into matching the Inception hospital sequence — setting up models in a parking lot at a precisely calculated skewed angle to hit the exact quality of light that had been captured in Calgary on a specific date.On First Man with Damien Chazelle, Ian had drawn storyboards before the first meeting proposing a documentary approach — cameras attached to the spacecraft, nothing sweeping or cinematic, everything either very close or very wide as if shot from another ship. Chazelle walked in and described exactly the same idea. They spent twenty minutes together going through the sequence, working to an animatic cut to music, and Ian went off and shot it. That shorthand — that moment of being in sync before the conversation has really started — is something Ian describes as central to how he has survived in an industry where so many practical effects houses have not. He's a model maker, yes. But more than that, he's a filmmaker.This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

It's finally happened. We're giving the world not the podcast it deserves but the one it needs right now. And what the world needs is a movie podcast where three early-middle-aged straight, white guys talk about Christopher Nolan films.First up is Memento, Nolan's critically-acclaimed mainstream debut from 2000 that - despite its raw, indie feel - carries itself with the artistic swagger of a surefire summer hit. Within it you can already see a few Nolan trademarks: a non-traditional narrative structure and a preoccupation with time (and how we always seem to be running out of it). Is the film as good as we remember? Let's jump in and find out...We're not just doing this for the sake of it, however.

Hace unas semanas hablamos en la sección sobre ciencia-ficción a cuenta de la película "Project Hail Mary" (en España, "Proyecto Salvación"), y la criticamos moderadamente por su falta de interés en la faceta científica de la historia. Hoy hacemos todo lo contrario: hablamos sobre películas que sí tienen interés en la ciencia, y más importante todavía: en las emociones que la ciencia puede aportar a una historia. Hablamos de películas que incorporan la fascinación del descubrimiento y el proceso mental que nos permite llegar a él. Tomamos como botón de muestra dos filmes: La llegada (Denis Villeneuve, 2016) The Man from Earth (Richard Schenkman, 2007) Sin hacer muchos espóilers comentamos qué hay en cada una de estas películas que las convierte en "ciencia-ficción pata negra", y dejamos para otro día hablar de alguna otra. FE DE ERRORES: Durante la sección decimos varias veces que la música de "La llegada" es de Max Richter, cuando en realidad es de Jóhann Jóhannsson. Nuestros respetos al maestro islandés, que nos dejó demasiado pronto. Si os interesa la ciencia en el cine hay varios episodios que podéis reescuchar para ir tomando nota de elementos interesantes. El capítulo en el que criticamos a "Project Hail Mary" es el s08e31. Además, en este mismo pódcast hemos comentado "Oppenheimer", de Christopher Nolan (s05e22) y "El problema de los tres cuerpos", la serie basada en los libros de Liu Cixin (s06e15). Durante la sección comentamos que ya habíamos hablado sobre "Interstellar", de Christopher Nolan: fue en nuestro pódcast hermano, La Brújula de la Ciencia, en el capítulo s04e10. También, si os interesa simplemente el cine, podéis escuchar a Alberto Aparici analizar películas en el pódcast "Esto salía en una peli francesa", disponible en todas las plataformas. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 4 de junio de 2026. Podéis escuchar el resto de audios de Más de Uno en la app de Onda Cero y en su web, ondacero.es

Une loi, qui vise à diminuer le taux de cadmium dans les engrais, a été adoptée en première lecture. Géraldine Woessner admet qu'il s'agit d'un métal lourd, toxique et cancérigène par inhalation, mais pour elle, le scandale est plutôt médiatique et politique que sanitaire, même s'il y a bien une alerte sanitaire. La France devait se conformer à la transparence totale des salaires, mais elle n'y est pas encore arrivée. Selon François Lenglet, c'est peut-être mieux ainsi. Il y a des différences de salaires justifiées. Le nombre d'heures produites ne dit pas grand-chose. L'engagement, la créativité et l'expérience jouent. Après une rumeur selon laquelle Lupita Nyong'o incarnerait Hélène de Troie dans le prochain film de Christopher Nolan, elle est au cœur d'une polémique raciste. La seule exigence d'Homère, c'est qu'Hélène soit la plus belle femme du monde. Abnousse Shalmani trouve Lupita très belle et, qu'en plus, c'est une excellente actrice. Du lundi au vendredi, à partir de 18h, David Pujadas apporte toute son expertise pour analyser l'actualité du jour avec pédagogie.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Deze week staat Nerd Culture volledig in het teken van nostalgie, superhelden, filmklassiekers en opvallende franchise-updates, net als vorige week trouwens. Huey en vriend van de show Daan duiken terug naar de jaren 90 met een deep dive in het LEGO schandaal en halen herinneringen op aan hun favoriete sets uit de jaren 90. Daarnaast bespreken ze de HBO-serie Rooster en is die viespeuk van een Daan weer met Euphoria in de weer geweest. Verder komen onder meer The Boys, Mandalorian and Grogu, The Invite, Superman Man of Tomorrow, House of the Dragon seizoen drie en Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey aan bod. Zoals altijd combineren Huey en Daan het laatste nerdnieuws met persoonlijke herinneringen, scherpe analyses en een flinke dosis nostalgie. Kortom: een aflevering vol popcultuur, filmnieuws, superhelden en klassiekers die je niet wilt missen. The Boys Review Daan en Huey bespreken deze week het vijfde en tevens ook laatste seizoen van The Boys. Na jaren van corrupte superhelden, exploderende hoofden, politieke satire en een zorgwekkende hoeveelheid lichaamsvloeistoffen heeft de serie zijn einde bereikt. Met Homelander die machtiger is dan ooit, bespreken de mannen of satire nog wel van deze tijd is. We bespreken alles, van de verwachtingen vooraf aan het laatste seizoen, tot aan het vraagstuk of The Boys erin kon slagen om sterk af te sluiten. Het LEGO schandaal Daarnaast duiken Huey en Daan deze week in een van de vreemdste internet-verhalen van de afgelopen jaren. In Oregon werd een man opgepakt nadat hij voor honderdduizenden dollars aan gestolen LEGO-sets zou hebben doorverkocht. Het incident laat zien hoe LEGO allang niet meer alleen speelgoed is, maar inmiddels ook een serieuze verzamelmarkt met enorme bedragen en een opvallend schimmige onderwereld. Dat nieuws vormt voor ons de perfecte aanleiding om terug te kijken naar onze eigen LEGO-jeugd. Welke sets wilden we vroeger het liefst hebben? Welke kregen we nooit? En welke jaren 90-klassiekers zouden we vandaag zonder nadenken opnieuw kopen? Van cowboys tot X-Wings: we halen herinneringen op aan een tijd waarin een zaterdagmiddag met een handleiding en een bak steentjes nog het hoogtepunt van de week was. Eerste beelden Lex Luthor Warsuit Huey bespreekt deze week de eerste beelden van Lex Luthor's Warsuit in Man of Tomorrow. Na jaren van speculatie hebben we eindelijk een goede eerste blik gekregen op het iconische pantser waarmee Lex het in de comics opneemt tegen de Man van Staal. En laten we eerlijk zijn: een boze miljardair in een gigantisch hightech pak blijft een concept dat verrassend goed werkt, toch Bruce? Is dit eindelijk de Lex Luthor waar fans al jaren op wachten? En hoe groot is de kans dat Superman straks niet alleen tegenover Lex staat, maar er pal naast? Dat en meer in deze aflevering van Nerd Culture.Wil je adverteren bij de podcast Nerd Culture óf misschien bij een andere podcast van ILVY Network?

And discussed as well as whether or not he will be in the new Christopher Nolan version of the epic poem.

Jim Hill and Eric Hersey cover a busy Universal news week, from Universal Kids Resort pricing and seasonal operations to new rotating experiences planned for Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas. They also check in on Universal Studios Hollywood's Mega Movie Summer, including Wicked meet-and-greets, Minions menu items, Fast and Furious teases, Jaws treats, and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey getting some serious backlot synergy. Then Jim digs into the surprisingly fiery history of Universal Studios Hollywood, tracing nearly a century of backlot blazes, rebuilds, and close calls. NEWS • Universal Kids Resort in Frisco now has a July 1 grand opening date, with one-day tickets, two-day tickets, annual passes, and resort packages revealed. • Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas appears to be leaning into a year-round event calendar, with rotating seasonal experiences planned through 2027. • Universal Studios Hollywood's Mega Movie Summer includes The Odyssey props, Minions meet-and-greets, Fast and Furious food, Jaws-themed treats, and Wicked photo opportunities. • Jim and Eric speculate that all the Fast and Furious activity at Universal Hollywood may point to Hollywood Drift getting closer to opening. FEATURE • Jim walks through the major fires that have hit Universal Studios Hollywood, from brush fires in the 1930s and 1940s to suspected arson on the lower lot. • The episode revisits the devastating 1990 fire that destroyed portions of New York Street, Courthouse Square, classic cars, and parts of the tram tour. • Jim explains how the 2008 backlot fire destroyed the King Kong Encounter and led to King Kong 360 3D becoming part of the Studio Tour. • The conversation also touches on Universal's repeated rebuilding efforts, its water-pressure problems, and why so much of the backlot is more recreation than original movie history.

On episode 157 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by founder and podcast host at InSession Film JD Duran and Editor-In-Chief of InSession Film Dave Giannini discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, The Dark Knight (2008). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. In what might be the single most important film of the 21st century for blockbuster filmmaking, The Dark Knight turned Christopher Nolan into the legend, iconic filmmaker he is today, creating a comic book, action packed crime thriller that elevated the entire genre, creating a film that audiences would obsess over for decades to come; the definitive comic book movie. With an all-time performance from the late Heath Ledger, Nolan upped the stakes of this second Batman film to be more about the fight to save soul of Gotham City, and gain hope in the future beyond the capes and clowns, and created a epic masterpiece. Ryan, Jay, JD, and Dave break down their thoughts on the film, the action set pieces, the battles for Gotham with our flawed heroes, Ledger's iconic Joker, the special effects work on Two-Face, the legacy of this film and why it's (more or less) aged so well. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h53m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Christopher Nolan with a review of his next film, Inception. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it. Music: MUSICALIFE, from Pond5 (intro) and "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Aside from the release of Christopher Nolan's period piece magician caper The Prestige, the year 2006 had one more trick up its sleeve in the form of Neil Burger's adaptation of Steven Millhauser's short story "Eisenheim the Illusionist." Set in turn-of-the-century Vienna, Austria, the film stars Edward Norton as a poor magician who falls in love with a countess (Jessica Biel) while rivals Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell) and Chief Inspector Uhl (Paul Giamatti) seek to discredit and apprehend him. With a star-studded cast and music by Philip Glass, Burger's film weaved in historical events to cast a spell over audiences and critics alike. And even though it pulled off the trick of getting into cinemas a month and a half before The Prestige, this flick didn't quite steal as much coin as Nolan's. However, both films scored Oscar nominations for their cinematographers - Bill Pope for this one and Wally Pfister for The Prestige - and are roughly tied on ranking sites like Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and Letterboxd. But where does reality end and imagination begin? We're pulling back the curtain to see if there is truth in The Illusionist!

Join the guys this week for a quick takedown of three recent translations of Homer's Odyssey, courtesy of Prof. Richard Whitaker of the University of Cape Town (Acta Classica, 2020). In six weeks, the Christopher Nolan adaptation of the Odyssey will hit the big screen, based on Emily Wilson's translation. But does this new rendition of the epic have sufficient gravitas, not to mention accuracy, to carry the story? Dave and Jeff look at this question from as many angles as a 30-minute episode will allow, including: style, word choice, faithfulness to Homer's moral vision, and more. There is also a quick take on the Anthony Verity and Peter Green versions, with their respective strengths. So grab some Classics on the go (take them in kinda between meals) and keep them down! You'll be gurgling all the way to greater Classical profundity. And don't miss secret code words like braggart, and fantastic summer sales, AESTAS15!

There Are No Girls on the Internet is a weekly podcast hosted by Bridget Todd. Every week, we break down the tech and internet stories that deserve more attention — especially when they're about AI, power, gender, race, and who actually gets hurt when systems fail. This week: Elon Musk using a Hollywood casting decision to push white nationalist conspiracy theories. The government is surveilling people who oppose data centers as potential terrorists. The DOJ is going after a billionaire who helped fund E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit against Trump. And researchers who study online hate speech being threatened with deportation. If that sounds like your thing — Apple Podcasts | Spotify | and come back every week. HERE’S WHAT WE’RE WATCHING THIS WEEK:
Christopher Nolan is one of Hollywood's last great filmmakers. Many of his previous movies have even been considered conservative or reactionary for the different themes he has addressed. But Nolan's new version of "The Odyssey" looks to be filled with woke tropes and modern rewriting. Author James Keena joins me to discuss why everyone in Hollywood is so desperate to change the source material they are using to tempt audiences into the theater.

Mike shares what he believes to be the Top Cult Classics that defined the 2000s. These are the movies that either confused audiences, got dumped by studios, or flat-out failed at the box office… but later became beloved cult classics through DVD, cable, streaming, memes, and word-of-mouth. Mike talks to Emile Hirsch who talks about his love of the video store as a kid, landing the role of Speed Racer, working with his heroes, getting an early start as a child actor and his roles in Lords of Dogtown and Into the Wild. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Mortal Kombat 2. Johnny Cage joins other fighters in the ultimate, no-holds-barred battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn, a powerful tyrant who threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders. Mike shares why unfortunately it wasn’t better than part 1, Karl Urban’s lackluster performance and why it feels like an off brand Avengers Infinity War. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan. Odysseus, king of Ithaca, embarks on a perilous journey to return home after the Trojan War. Mike shares why he is now hype for the movie after he initially thought it was going to be a snooze fest. New Episodes Every Monday!
