Today Griffey and Dandino grab their mitts and head down for a fight in Sin City. They discuss the film's unique journey from page to screen, the blend of noir style with modern aesthetic, and which of these wild crime stories is the top of the heap. Frank Miller's gritty, black & white crime classic made a truly Messed Up Movie complete with a little human buffet. Synopsis: An exploration of the dark and miserable Basin City and three of its residents, all of whom are caught up in violent corruption. Starring: Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson, Michael Clark Duncan, Benicio Del Toro, Josh Hartnett Directed by Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez, Quinten Tarantino Youtube: https://youtu.be/CYvsYfw82D0 Help us make our first feature length Messed Up Movie: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mr-creamjean-s-hidey-hole-horror-comedy-movie#/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
Inside Man is a clever heist film with the twist staring you in the face from the beginning. It's also the first Spike Lee or Jodie Foster film to be reviewed on Have You Ever Seen in quite some time. Foster and Denzel Washington's scenes together are fantastic. The 2 of them, plus Clive Owen, Christopher Plummer, Willem Dafoe and Chiwetel Ejiofor deliver. Ironically, though, for a film with such intensity for 2 straight hours, the actors are generally calm. Well, Denzel is showboating, but he's Denzel. You can't reign in that charisma machine. So for my 734th episode, settle in to hear about a snappy caper film as I monologue about Spike Lee's biggest hit, Inside Man. Subscribe to Have You Ever Seen in your app. Rate and review it too. Look for me on Letterboxd (RyanHYES). I'm "@moviefiend51" on Twitter, "ryan-ellis" on Bluesky and "haveyoueverseenpodcast@gmail.com" via email.
[School of Movies 2026] Robert Rodriguez reaches his masterpiece. This film is truly magnificent as an adaptation of cinema to the aesthetics and hallmarks of this particular pitch black graphic novel series. It seems like every element combined in swift, smooth and effortlessly striking fashion as this sleazy, stark crime opera anthology drew on every skill Robert had learned over the 90s and somehow focused all of his haphazard digital work into one infinitely sharp point. The flourishes of colour and thundering automobiles hypnotising us like deer in the darkness of a snowy woodland road. It was also blessed with an astonishing cast; Mickey Rourke making a comeback that would lead him to The Wrestler (2008), Bruce Willis in one of his last great performances, Clive Owen at his snarling hungriest, Rosario Dawson setting the screen on fire, Benicio Del Toro as a powder-keg of entitled misogyny, Michael Clarke Duncan delivering a captivating Terminator-Bear hybrid, Rutger Hauer, Powers Booth and Nick Stahl as the most detestable richly-connected psychopath villains imaginable, and even little Elijah Wood chilling our blood by playing a sprightly cannibal who neither talks nor blinks. Bringing in Frank Miller himself and crediting him as co-director while humbly taking the mantle of the man who ‘Shoots and Cuts', Robert was able to make this feel extraordinary in a way its imitators, including Zack Snyder's 300 (2006) and Watchmen (2009), Frank Miller's own The Spirit (2008) and even Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For (2014) could not possibly match. And folks supporting us for five bucks on our Patreon bonus feed can, this coming weekend hear all about how that second film imploded.
“It's not about the money.” Join Ian & Megs for our 324th episode as we step into the perfectly constructed, quietly audacious bank heist of Spike Lee's Inside Man (2006). Clocks are ticking, identities are shifting, and nothing is quite what it seems as we try to work out who's really in control… and who never was. This week we discuss: Denzel Washington as Detective Frazier — cool, controlled, and always just one step behind. Is this one of Denzel's most understated performances? Clive Owen's Dalton Russell — precise, patient, and almost philosophical. Is he a villain, a hero, or something far more interesting? Also, is he more than just a poor man's Gerard Butler? Jodie Foster's power broker — calculated, composed, and operating on a completely different level of influence. Do we forgive her more easily because of her gender? The structure of the heist — meticulous, layered, and deliberately misleading. How does the film hide its intentions in plain sight? Megs explores the film's themes of power and privilege — what's really being stolen, and who actually gets away with it. Ian breaks down Spike Lee's direction and cinematography — style, pacing, and how he injects social commentary into a genre film without slowing it down. The use of misdirection — costumes, timelines, and narrative sleight of hand. When does the audience realise they've been played? The “show vs tell” balance — how much does the film explain, and how much does it trust the audience to catch up? The ending reveal — clever, satisfying, or just slightly too neat? Does the film even know what the ending of its own plot is? Are we satisfied with how it ended and what would be the danger of making it more explicit? The moral question — is justice served, or simply… redirected? And finally, whether Inside Man is the Best Film Ever — or one of the smartest, most rewatchable heist films of the 21st century.

Dana and Tom with 5x Club member and CLP contributor, Peterson W. Hill (Co-Host of the War Starts at Midnight podcast), discuss Inside Man (2006) for its 20th anniversary: directed by Spike Lee, written by Russell Gewirtz, cinematography by Matthew Libatique, music by Terence Blanchard, editing by Barry Alexander Brown, starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Christopher Plummer, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Willem Dafoe.Plot Summary: Inside Man follows a tense bank robbery in New York City that quickly becomes a battle of wits. Denzel Washington plays a sharp detective sent in to negotiate when a group of masked robbers, led by Clive Owen, take control of a crowded Manhattan bank. As the police try to understand the robbers' plan, the situation grows more complicated. A powerful banker played by Christopher Plummer secretly hires a smooth and mysterious fixer, played by Jodie Foster, to protect a dangerous secret hidden inside the bank.Guest:Peterson W.

This week on The Netflix Problem, we tackle the big one: enshittification. Why streaming feels worse, how Netflix dug itself into this hole, and what it would actually take to climb back out. We talk fixes, fantasies, petty rebellions, and the kind of transparency the platform desperately needs.Then we cleanse the palate with Tony Scott's 2002 fever‑dream Beat the Devil — eleven minutes of pure early‑00s chaos featuring James Brown, Gary Oldman, and a very confused Clive Owen.And finally, we hit the Danger Zone with a dive into Top Gun (1986): Cruise in larval form, baby's‑first‑adrenaline‑addiction, and the film that accidentally invented the modern Tom Cruise stunt cult.It's streaming slop, devilish shorts, and supersonic nostalgia — all in one episode.

We're in 2027 with Alfonso Cuarón to talk a dystopian classic. John, Westy, and Matt dive into the story of how Cuarón created one of cinema's most visually stunning achievements - a film that turned a difficult-to-adapt novel into a breathtaking technical marvel. From those legendary long takes (yes, including that car scene) to Clive Owen's career-best performance (YMMV), we explore how Cuarón and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki revolutionised action filmmaking. How did they pull off shots that shouldn't be possible? Why does the world-building feel so unnervingly real? And can humanity ever truly find hope in hopelessness?Telling the story of Hollywood, one film at a time.Connect with ATRM: To join our fantastic community of film fans, support what we do, access our archive, listen to exclusive episodes, and a whole lot more, become an ATRM patron:Join the ATRM Community We're available on any podcast platform:Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyYouTube: Subscribe to our channelWe're across all major social channels too:Twitter: @ATRightMoviesInstagram: @allthe_rightmovies Facebook: Join our movie groupBluesky: @alltherightmovies.comTikTok: @alltherightmoviesWebsite: alltherightmovies.com
Tune in as Rolo Tony (@PoorOldRoloTony) hops back into his guest chair for a review and recap of Shoot ‘Em Up, the 2007 action movie about a carrot-munching drifter who puts his mastery of gun fu to good use by going on a mission to protect a newborn baby from an assassin and his many goons. Comparing this bonkers ride to flicks like John Wick and Falling Down, the spanking gag and other moments of misogyny that haven't aged well, the surprisingly left-wing themes that you can find while reading this film through a political lens, and taking a look at Stephen McHattie's filmography pop up as some of the subjects for this episode.Written and directed by Michael Davis, Shoot ‘Em Up stars Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, Monica Bellucci, Stephen McHattie, Greg Bryk, Daniel Pilon, Ramona Pringle, Julian Richings, Tony Munch, and Scott McCord.Spoilers start at 36:50Madonna STAR BMW Commercial 2001Smith's Hand on Internet Movie Firearms Database, AKA IMFDB (only click on this if you're ready for spoilers)Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere's how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere's how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere's how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Rolo Tony: The Mountain by Gorillaz• Arthur: John's Not Mad and The Boy Can't Help ItReach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree
Spike Lee's bank robbery crime drama is packed with talent: Denzel, Clive Owen, Jodi Foster, Christopher Plummer, among others, but we get into what made this movie work, with heavy leaning on its clever twist ending. Movies with big third act twists often live or die by them, and Inside Man lives. We had a good time talking about this movie that is, shockingly, 20 years old this year. And our random unrelated mention on this episode goes out to Traci Bingham. Thanks for listening to who our close friends and family objectively call the greatest nostalgia movie podcast of all time. Be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!

Eine Gesellschaft, die verarmt, starke Umweltzerstörung, Einwanderer als Sündenböcke, die in Käfigen gehalten, deportiert oder getötet werden von bis an die Zähne bewaffneten Einsatzkräften, ein autoritärer Polizeistaat – klingt vertraut? Jedesmal, wenn ich diesen Film von 2006 anschaue, rückt der Film näher an die Realität und kommt er mir weniger wie ein Science-Fiction und mehr wie eine Reportage vor.Aber CHILDREN OF MEN ist nicht nur eine große und berührende Erzählung über die Zerbrechlichkeit von Zivilisation und das Bewahren von Hoffnung, er ist auf vielen Ebenen auch ein herausragender Film. Vielleicht das realistischste World Building der Filmgeschichte, ein fantastisches Drehbuch mit einer Dramaturgie, die einen nicht mehr loslässt, atemberaubende Kameraarbeit, vielschichtige Charaktere und herausragende Schauspieler von Hauptrollen bis in die exzellent geschriebenen Nebenrollen.Wir haben CHILDREN OF MEN in einer Wiederaufführung im Capitol in Mainz gesehen – und auch die Unterbrechung durch einen Feueralarm im Kino konnte unsere Begeisterung nicht schmälern. Am Mikrofon direkt nach dem Kino: Johanna und Thomas. (Ausnahmsweise spoilern wir von Anfang an.)
It's Die Hard in a bank! This week we're discussing Spike Lee's outstanding heist movieINSIDE MAN with the help of our own “inside man” Randy Wilkins, a frequent Spike collaborator who actually worked on this movie! When calculating master thief Dalton Russell (Clive Owen) puts in motion what he claims is the perfect robbery and takes multiple hostages inside a Wall Street bank, eccentric NYPD detective Keith Frazier (Denzel Washington) is assigned to lead the hostage negotiations. However, the fragile situation is complicated yet further when the enigmatic high-level fixer Madeleine White (Jodie Foster) is tasked by the bank's owner Arthur Case (Christopher Plummer) to retrieve a mysterious artefact located inside a safe deposit box. In order to save the hostages and diffuse the crisis, Detective Frazier must navigate a complex spider's web of hidden agendas, misdirection and politics both inside and outside the besieged bank, as well as locking horns with the calm, calculating robber who appears to be much smarter than anyone else involved…including himself. The guys get into Randy's long-standing professional relationship with Spike Lee and how he came to work on this particular picture, then move into the ‘DIE HARD DNA' section where the many connections between the two films are discussed. They break down what makes this film unique in the over-saturated ‘heist movie' genre, examine its political themes, and discuss the three central performances of Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster (as well as the wider cast). Awards are handed out in the ‘Die Hard Oscars' and as always events culminate with the ‘Double Jeopardy Trivia Quiz', where the scores can really change!TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G7n7O5pel0At the time of release, INSIDE MAN is streaming on Starz and Philo in the US and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms!

Episode 106: End by David Eldridge Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: David Eldridge Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. David Eldridge's new play End is the final instalment of what David has described as a "triptych for the theatre", following Beginning in 2017, and Middle in 2022. Each of the plays in the series presents a snapshot of a couple at a particular time of life. In End we meet a couple who are facing the premature end of their life together. The play is not only an emotionally painful meditation on mortality, but also a testament to the life affirming power of love. As we record this episode End is playing at the National Theatre in London, with Saskia Reeves and Clive Owen as the couple. I was privileged to talk with David about Beginning way back in episode 11 of the podcast, and then Middle in episode 47, so I am delighted to be able complete the trilogy by welcoming David back to talk about End.
On today's new episode and the last of 2025, the guys discuss the 1998 classic Small Soldiers directed by Joe Dante and starring Tommy Lee Jones and Kirsten DunstBut first, are Clive Owen and Gerard Butler basically the same guy? Do we love the cast of this movie? Is this our first edition of The Boys Talk Toys? Did we all see this in theaters? Does this movie have Gremlins vibes and easter eggs? How was the CGI for a 1998 film? If Toy Story had Apocalypse Now vibes would it be Small Soldiers? For a kids movie does this have intelligent critiques of the military industrial complex? Were they trying to make Jay Mohr a thing in the 90s? Was this move Phil Hartman's last role? Did Andy Dick OD recently? Is Cody the Alan Abernathy of the pod? Does this movie get a 6 on the Foley? Would Avatar exist without Small Soldiers? Is this movie insanely quotable? Is Stephen Lang the real life Chip Hazard? Was Led Zeppelin cool in the 90s? Does this movie have a crazy soundtrack? Is this movie too violent for kids? Did the boys have encyclopedias growing up? Is this a “holiday” movie? Can these toys feel pain or reproduce? Will there ever be a Small Soldiers 2? Was this movie a box office flop? Do we each have a favorite Adam Sandler-produced movie that the others hate? Why do we need to ban Elon Musk from watching Small Soldiers? Were there any Small Soldiers video games? Are we The Heavy Duty Boys? Who is Reba playing in the MCU?Check out the Kickstarter pre-launch page for Superguy issue #2 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mrtonynacho/superguy-2-my-date-with-the-presidents-daughter?ref=creator_tabNew episodes every THURSDAYFollow us on social media!

Hubo un tiempo en el que los quirofanos fueron circo y teatro. Una funcion, con publico, en la que participaron Rembrandt, Clive Owen o el senor Burns.
It's been a hectic week and things in the world don't feel like calming down at the moment. Hopefully we weather this time with some light hearted material. Soooo... let's dive right into the life of Rob Reiner. This dark moment leads us down the entertaining rabbit hole of filmography of Rob as well as a few others. Somehow we find our way to Spike Lee and a couple of his films as well as Clive Owen. We take a moment of looking into the World Cup and some of the issues peaking their little heads in. As well as we do a little look into the Vanity Fair article recently released. Hopefully everyone is staying safe out there in this wild ride of a plane we're living on.
This week, we continue our Mike Nichols miniseries with a deep dive into Closer (2004), joined by Sean Fennessey of The Big Picture. It's a film that captivated many of us in our early 20s only to unravel under rewatch with age, perspective, and healthier emotional boundaries.We unpack why Closer once felt like “grown-up cinema,” how its theatrical origins shape its structure, and why its four leads Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, and Clive Owen are all performing at maximum intensity inside a script that might not deserve them. From the infamous strip-club scene to the messy power dynamics, contradictions, and emotional violence embedded in Patrick Marber's writing, we ask the question: does any of this actually work?Sean brings insight into Nichols' career, the film's mid-2000s cultural footprint (including its unexpected influence on emo/screamo lyrics), and the era's attempt to manufacture Jude Law into Hollywood's next megastar. And yes, we talk about Damien Rice, the Oscars, and why Closer remains a fascinating artistic contradiction: a film full of great performances inside a story that collapses under scrutiny.

Childminders play a vital role in the early years of children's lives, offering care, stability and a familiar face during those formative years. But their numbers are in sharp decline. Many are no longer able to offer places for three and four year olds, citing government funding pressures. Today, Ofsted have released new figures on how many childminders are leaving and joining the profession. Childminder Georgina Young joins Nuala McGovern to share her experience of the joys and challenges of childminding, and what the future might hold for the profession.Saskia Reeves is the theatre, film and TV actor known for her many roles including Katherine Standish in the hit Apple TV series Slow Horses. She's now back at the National Theatre, in a new play, End – the last in a trilogy of plays by David Eldridge - Beginning and Middle – with Clive Owen, exploring love and relationships. Saskia joins Nuala to discuss. The Independent Commission on UK Counterterrorism has just published its report after three years. A long and detailed report, it estimates there are up to 70 UK-linked individuals, mostly women and children—most under 10 years old—believed to still be in camps or other detention centres in Iraq and Syria. Professor of Religion, Gender and Global Security, Katherine Brown, is one of the 14 commissioners. She explains why the women and children remaining in these camps is "unsustainable" and why an organised programme of return, rehabilitation, and integration is, they believe, the best long-term option for managing the risk to public safety. Frank Gardner, the BBC's Security Correspondent, joins them to discuss.Coroners' advice and concerns on maternal deaths in England and Wales are being ignored despite them raising repeated issues, a new study has found. Dr Georgia Richards, the founder of the Preventable Deaths Tracker at Kings College London who is on the line from New Zealand, discusses the findings.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey
Step into the shadows with Say Whats Reel as we dive into Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's gritty 2005 masterpiece Sin City.

André Holland has wowed us in movies like MOONLIGHT and his new Sundance hit LOVE, BROOKLYN. But he says that he gets the most comments -- and perhaps even owes his career -- to his role as Dr. Algernon Edwards in the Steven Soderbergh-helmed Cinemax series THE KNICK. It was a role he could relate to, and of the kind he'd been searching high and low for -- one that fit. He and Jordan talk about the essential perspective that role brought to the Peak TV era, and the show's often unsettling resonance for today (despite being set in 1900).Then, Jordan offers a tribute to the indelible actor Graham Greene. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we discuss John Frankenheimer, a true expert of the craft and a man who could make any kind of film. Our B-Sides today include Prophecy, 52 Pick-Up, Dead Bang, and the HBO Film Against the Wall (for which Frankenheimer won an Emmy!) Our guest today is the great Blake Howard of One Heat Minute Productions. He's just wrapping up his podcast series Romin, in which Blake discusses Frankenheimer's late-period action masterpiece (and certified A-Side) Ronin with incredible film minds (and also two schlubs from The Film Stage). In this episode, I tell a fairly interesting first-hand story about original Ronin screenwriter J.D. Zeik! The superb interview book John Frankenheimer: A Conversation With Charles Champlin is referenced quite a bit throughout, as is this interview with Ben Affleck (which includes a funny memory of the temperamental Frankenheimer on the set of Reindeer Games). Frankenheimer's BMW Films short with Clive Owen comes up, as does underrated character actor Tim Reid. We admire the nastiness of 52 Pick-Up, the way that Against the Wall looks, and the ambitions of Prophecy, failed though they may be. Then there's Dead Bang, a deeply troubled production with a supremely strange William Forsythe performance. Additionally, Frankenheimer made his bones in live television, specifically being the lead director of Playhouse 90. One episode we talk about a bit is “Forbidden Area.”

We have bad news for you, bank teller person. The robbery is coming from inside the bank! Of course robberies usually happen inside a bank if they are bank robberies. Ones conducted outside of them are can be classified as cash in transit heists if the thieves are stealing from the vehicle itself. Important notes if you're planning on being listed on the FBI's list of most wanted bank robbers. That way you can say you were on the scoreboard when you're in federal prison. In that vein Weltall has Inside Man[2006]. The Clive Owen and Denzel Washington movie directed by Spike Lee about a bank heist. Only it's not … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 246: Want Inside"
“This is a Spike TV movie, right?” - Eric On this week's episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza gets down and dirty for the all-or-nothing days as we chat about Robert Rodriguez's still totally wild comic translation, Sin City! Thankfully, folks, this movie still looks totally rad! How eerie is Elijah Wood as Kevin? Even with as fun a ride as this is, did we really need to adapt every bit of the Miller sleaze vibes? Will Rodriguez ever get his edge back? How great is Mickey Rourke in this movie? Was having three different musicians do three different scores a good idea? Should the Hartigan story have been cut in two or should the film have been left as the triptych with the Hartnett character as the bookend? PLUS: Kurt Russell and the arctic crew from The Thing all check to see who's The Thing by doing the asparagus pee test! Sin City stars Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Josh Hartnett, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Clarke Duncan, Carla Gugino, Rutger Hauer, Jaime King, Tommy Flanagan, Nick Offerman, Marley Shelton, Nick Stahl, Elijah Wood, Devon Aoki, Alexis Bledel, Powers Boothe, and the late, great Michael Madsen as Bob; directed by Robert Rodriguez. [EDITOR'S NOTE: We recorded this episode on June 18, several weeks before we lost Michael Madsen. The guy was a total legend, a singular performer who gave us so many memorable film appearances that we've loved and quoted a ton over the years. We'll miss the guy, gone way, way too soon. — Andrew] Our three-night, six-show residency at the Oxford Comedy Festival starts THIS FRIDAY, July 18th! We'll be there through the 20th doing WHM, WLM, Animation Damnation, Gleep Glossary and Nexus shows! The Quantum of Solace and Hellraiser shows are sold out, so don't wait, snag your tix now, UK!

Sean and Amanda return to continue their yearlong project of listing the 25 best movies of the 21st century so far. Today, they discuss Alfonso Cuarón's ‘Children of Men,' a deeply upsetting 2006 apocalyptic thriller starring Clive Owen and Julianne Moore, which features some of the most emotionally moving image-making of all time. They explore how this film altered the trajectory of Cuarón's “shapeshifter” filmmaking career, celebrate Owen's amazing physical performance, and revisit the Academy's baffling decision not to honor the film with a single Academy Award.

Send us a textWhen Joey, a seemingly ordinary window cleaner played by Daisy Ridley, reports for her night shift at a towering London skyscraper, she has no idea she's about to be thrust into a deadly game of survival. As she dangles precariously outside the building's glass exterior, a sophisticated group of eco-terrorists infiltrates a corporate gala inside, taking hostages and making demands that blur the line between justice and vengeance.Cut off from help and with only her wits and climbing skills to rely on, Joey becomes the unexpected wild card in a high-stakes confrontation that grows more morally complex by the minute. The terrorists, led by a charismatic activist played briefly by Clive Owen, aren't just seeking ransom – they're exposing horrific environmental crimes committed by the very executives now held hostage. As corporate secrets bubble to the surface, Joey must decide whether she's fighting to save the innocent or protecting the guilty."Cleaner" delivers heart-pounding vertical action sequences while forcing viewers to question their own moral compasses. When the terrorists reveal that the corporation has silenced whistleblowers through murder, the traditional lines between hero and villain begin to dissolve. Joey's struggle isn't just about physical survival – it's about navigating an ethical minefield where doing the right thing becomes increasingly unclear.The film challenges conventional action thriller formulas by presenting antagonists with legitimate grievances and protagonists with questionable motives. As Joey fights to protect her vulnerable brother caught in the chaos, she must also confront uncomfortable truths about the powerful people she's trying to save. In a world where corporate crimes often go unpunished, "Cleaner" asks: Who are the real terrorists, and what price are we willing to pay for justice?Written Lovingly by AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT

After weeks of speculation, Liz Kendall has confirmed what benefits are to be axed in order to save £5 billion from the welfare bill - but at what cost for sick and disabled people?Keir Starmer says the rising benefit bill is “devastating for public finances” and has “wreaked a terrible human cost”. But many of his own Labour MPs have accused him of selling cuts as compassion and in the words of Clive Lewis “causing pain for millions”. Zoë Grünewald steps in for Nish to survey the fallout with Coco. And the cuts don't stop there - NHS England's abolition and unprecedented cost-cutting could see up to 30,000 jobs lost. Zoë and Coco discuss the “high-stakes” move, which the Institute of Fiscal Studies has said is “not fully thought through”.Next up, the Tories and Reform are trying to seize the news-agenda with a pair of not-so special special announcements.
