Episodio 82 de En Ocasiones Veo Fraudes, el pódcast de FACUA. En el editorial, Rubén Sánchez te habla acerca de la necesidad de que el Gobierno expediente a aquellas compañías eléctricas que incumplieron sus obligaciones el 28 de abril, el día del apagón, y que han estado involucradas en la interrupción masiva de luz que ocurrió aquella fecha. Los tres temas de actualidad: las eléctricas no pueden subir las tarifas de mercado libre con la excusa del apagón hasta que toque la renovación anual del contrato; celebramos el expediente sancionador que Consumo ha abierto a una inmobiliaria e instamos a las comunidades autónomas a que hagan lo mismo; y denunciamos a la promotora de la Comic-Con 2025 de Málaga por impedir el acceso con comida y bebida del exterior. En Terror en el supermercado, David Ávila te cuenta cómo han subido los precios de los alimentos básicos este mes de junio. En Te Ayudamos, Keka Sánchez te habla acerca de qué puedes hacer si te suben tu tarifa de la luz con la excusa del apagón. En Te puede pasar a ti contamos el caso de Raúl, que decidió devolver una motocicleta de segunda mano ejerciendo su derecho de desistimiento y a quien hemos logrado que le devuelvan las cuotas que le cobraron.

In this high-octane episode, the Geoholics gang sits down with forensic legend turned Leica laser-scanning maestro, Ryan Rezzelle—a man who's equally comfortable at a quadruple homicide scene and in full cosplay at Comic-Con. From his roots in shrinking Erie, PA (home of the world's coldest windchill and warmest hearts), Ryan walks us through a career that spans 800+ homicide investigations, NCAA football, and selling cutting-edge 3D tech like it's hotcakes at a garage sale. Oh—and he once solved a case involving a live grenade. Casual. Career plot twist: Ryan swapped body bags for point clouds and now helps AEC pros digitize the built world, proving that real superheroes don't always wear capes—sometimes they wear high-viz and sell scanning systems. His passions? Hosting 1,000+ movie nights, running an eBay shop, and blogging as the “Reel Rhino”—because who wouldn't need Batman-level escapism after years of CSI work? Plus: we get tech tips, tales of courtroom drama, Leica learning curves, and an inspiring look at the future of digital forensics. Whether you're a geospatial geek, true crime addict, or cinephile with a Leica wish list—this episode's got something for you. Music by Everclear!!!

As we stood there on the shore of San Diego Bay taking in the sights of Comic-Con, Clint looked at me and asked, “Darrell, why do you do all of this?” I took a moment and gave him an answer I wasn't happy with then and I'm not happy with now. I told him that I enjoyed being around the celebrities and learning about all the new stuff that's coming out on TV this season. He looked at me with a dissatisfied expression. I've thought a lot about it since then, and here's the truthful answer he deserved that day. I wanted the recognition. I wanted the notoriety. I was motivated heavily by selfish ambitions.

Put on your latex head-cap and grab your Thermian translator — this week, your starfleet of snark is diving headfirst into the unlikely sci-fi cult classic that beamed itself into nerd hearts everywhere. Jordan and Heigl travel back to 1999 to explore how a fake show about fake space heroes somehow made real Trekkies weep with joy — and earned an honorary place alongside the actual Star Trek movies. You'll hear how Leonard Nimoy accidentally inspired the original script, why Kevin Kline (not Buzz Lightyear) was supposed to lead the crew, and how Alan Rickman — literal Shakespearean royalty — somehow found himself next to a farting Tim Allen...and hated every second of it. (So did everyone on the set.) Heigl delves deep into Allen’s pre-fame life as a coke mule with a prison stint under his belt, Jordan talks about psychologic effects of space travel and Orson Welles’ touching friendship with Winston Churchill (for some reason), and they both luxuriate in the decades-long feuds between Star Trek cast members. The pair go on to discuss the worst-dubbed F-bomb in cinematic history, why comedy legend Harold Ramis prematurely departed the project, and all the reasons why the producers were terrified they were going to get sued. You’ll also discover how the film’s parody became prophecy, predicting not just the rise of fandom, but the emotional power of obsessive nerdery years before Comic-Con went corporate. So whether you’re a diehard fan or just here for the fart jokes, this one’s for you. By Grabthar’s Hammer — it’s podcast time!

Moose and Dews catch up once again this week in an entirely pre-recorded form, as Dews has got himself a new job! The wolves keeps hammering on the door, so in an effort to stave them off for a while longer, Dews is going out to work a proper job and - while not entirely looking forward to his *exciting* new role as a delivery driver - it does present several opportunities that may be worthwhile. To business, and the guys cover the latest rock news, including Linkin Park's recent appearance at the UEFA Champions League Final, and The Osbournes' upcoming appearance at Comic Con Midlands, prompting the question; Why? For someone with a net worth reportedly in excess of $200 million, why would Ozzy et al. be appearing at a comic con? This leads to an exploration of the dynamics of celebrity appearances at events like Comic-Con, and the revelation of the truly eye-watering amount of money Dews spent for his ex-wife to meet Lieutenant Commander Data. They also explore the financial implications of meet-and-greets for musicians, and the harsh realities faced by modern bands in the music industry.

I am SO excited to share this podcast episode, where I had the great pleasure and opportunity to speak with the CEO of Fanatics Events, Lance Fensterman. Lance was the president and founder of ReedPOP, which helped produce some of the biggest conventions, such as New York Comic Con, Emerald City Comic Con, Complex Con, Star Wars Celebration and PAX. Since becoming CEO, Fanatics Events created WWE World at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia, WWEW World at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, and the inaugural Fanatics Fest at the Javitz Convention Center last year.Avid listeners of this podcast know that I like to go long form and go down rabbit holes and tangents, but for this one, we only had 20 minutes and so I did my absolute best not to do that this time!However, in the beginning of the conversation, we learn that Lance is an avid Minnesota sports team fan, and we talk about how one of the differences he has noticed with attendees of Comic Cons and Fanatics Fest is the inherent tribalism that occurs within sports, which does not necessarily exist in the worlds of Pokemon, Star Wars, etc.These 20 minutes just went by so quickly, but I had SO much fun with this one and I hope that you enjoy my conversation with Lance!

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes.Last week Disney pushed Avengers: Doomsday from its May 1, 2026 release to December 18, 2026 and Avengers: Secret Wars from May 7, 2027 to December 18, 2027. The studio also removed several unannounced Marvel titles from its release calendar: a February 13, 2026 dated release has been removed entirely while November 2026 and 2027 releases have been rebranded from untitled Marvel films, to untitled Disney films.Memorial Day weekend's $326.7 million haul at the domestic box office was enough to earn it the title of the highest grossing Memorial Day weekend ever, with newcomer, Disney's live action Lilo & Stitch remake leading the way with $183 million, overtaking Top Gun: Maverick's $160 million weekend from 2022. Speaking of Tom Cruise, he was no slouch either, with the Mission: Impossible franchise's latest and supposed final installment, The Final Reckoning, earning a franchise high of $77.5 million.While appearing on a recent episode of The Box Office Podcast, Ryan Reynolds revealed he pitched an R-rated Star Wars film to Disney, saying, “I pitched to Disney, I said, ‘Why don't we do an R-rated “Star Wars” property? It doesn't have to be overt, A+ characters. There's a wide range of characters you could use,'” he said. “And I don't mean R-rated to be vulgar. R-rated as a Trojan horse for emotion. I always wonder why studios don't want to just gamble on something like that.” The Deadpool actor clarified the film would not be for him to star in, but contribute behind the scenes by writing and producing. Notably absent from the conversation is Disney's reception to the pitch.After an extensive search auditioning more than 30,000 actors, HBO's Harry Potter series has finally found its Harry, Hermoine and Ron, as Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout have been cast in the respective roles. Much like their predecessors from the films, our three leads are relative newcomers, with McLaughlin appearing alongside Hagrid-actor Nick Frost in the upcoming Sky comedy, Grow, and Stanton having starred as Matilda in Matilda The Musical on West End from 2023 to 2024, while this will be Stout's first significant role.Kieran Culkin has been cast as Caesar Flickerman in Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.The reboot of medical comedy Scrubs from Bill Lawrence and ABC currently in development has officially cast Zach Braff who will return to the series to reprise the role of JD, a character he played for 9 seasons.A24 confirmed Alex Garland will write and direct a live-action Elden Ring film with Bandai Namco Entertainment. The acclaimed game won the 2022 Game of the Year Award and has sold over 30 million copies.The Wheel of Time has been canceled after three seasons at Amazon‘s Prime Video. The series, from Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios and based on Robert Jordan's best-selling series of fantasy novels, aired its third-season finale on April 17.James Gunn confirmed DC Studios will attend Comic-Con this year(July 24-27) with a panel focusing on Peacemaker season 2. The new season will feature another dance sequence in its opening credits, like season 1.Marvel and DC will be collaborating on a crossover comic between characters for the first time in two decades. A series of one shot comics will be released in September of this year featuring a crossover between Deadpool and Batman, with more character crossovers planned for next year.

In this bonus episode, The Spark, we welcome back Sam Gilbey, the pop culture illustrator whose work brings our favourite films to life, for a lighter, more personal chat. After Monday's nostalgic deep dive into his creative journey, Sam returns to answer some of our signature questions, offering a glimpse of the person behind the prints. From his controversial view on talent (spoiler: he's not sure it exists) to why OK Computer still hits after all these years, Sam talks about creativity with humour, humility, and heart. We talk Comic Cons, the comfort of pop culture, and the Sunday roasts and video games that make life sweet. He also shares the embarrassing moment he met his childhood hero Tony Hart—on national TV—and why his worst nemesis is often… himself. This is a joyful, down-to-earth episode that celebrates fandom, family life, and the magic of just making stuff. This season is proudly sponsored by the School of Communication Arts.
Irina and Michelle have on this episode the wild tale of Kate, a successful lawyer and mom in her 50s in the Southern United States, and the same-aged man she met on Feeld while traveling, Doug (both pseudonyms). Doug seemed like the perfect boyfriend in many respects, and Kate dated him for three months long distance while he lived in a different Southern state. Doug claimed to be working at sci-fi conventions and concert venues, yet he somehow hardly seemed to leave his home and was constantly broke. Nothing could have prepared Kate, however, for the revelations of a group of women known as "The Club" who found her on social media. Did Doug really engage in cancer charity and GoFundMe frauds? Was he dating women his age only to fund his sugar baby habit? And what was up with the rumors that he may have killed his own father? Come join us for part 1 of this breathtaking story! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week, we're joined by the brilliant Sam Gilbey – a celebrated illustrator known for his detailed, painted portraits of cult movie characters, iconic pop culture figures, and, more recently, football heroes. In a lively and nostalgic conversation, Sam and host Katy Cowan explore what it means to survive and thrive as a creative today — through economic downturns, industry disruption, and the ever-looming rise of AI. From early web design adventures and building Weetabix's first website, to becoming a go-to artist for Blu-ray covers and film posters, Sam reflects on more than two decades of creative resilience. He talks candidly about the shifts he's seen, the challenges illustrators face now, and why doubling down on your passion — even when things get tough — is more important than ever. We also hear how becoming a dad sparked a major career pivot, how Sam built a reputation in the pop culture gallery scene, and how he's learned to spot opportunities when things go quiet. Along the way, there's talk of cereal box nostalgia, VHS cover art, Comic Con antics, and a surprising run-in with Tony Hart on national TV. It's a conversation packed with humour, insight, and a big dose of honesty — perfect for any creative wondering how to keep going, keep growing, and keep doing what they love. This season is proudly sponsored by the School of Communication Arts.
