This episode is a little delayed but look at that runtime! And no, it's not all The Love Boat, but there's plenty of that. On this episode of Across the Omniverse we watch a season one episode of the primetime broadcast anthology show from the 1970s, featuring guest stars like Bill Bixby and Milton Berle. We talk about what a creep Doc is, the weird way you can get from Bixby to the Trump administration, and how Charo overexposed herself into obscurity.Before that we have news, like the winners of the Critic's Choice Awards, and we go long on Stranger Things season 5 and the finale. How long? Let's just say that you should skip from 47:01 to 1:45:05 if you don't want to get spoiled or just don't care about the topic. And that's a good point to start at if you want to simply get to the The Love Boat.Want your questions answered on the show?

Three pieces of correspondence sent to TGCTS form the basis of Episode 60, which opens with the story of Marty's surprise meeting in a drug store with a former NDP cabinet minister. You'll then hear a letter sent to Premier Wab Kinew and Justice Minister Matt Wiebe by an aggrieved NDP supporter. He had asked for help with an arbitrary punishment imposed by Manitoba Public Insurance on his driving record despite a court dismissing the ticket- and got no response from Kinew or Wiebe."This record has already resulted in my being denied employment. I am a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record who is simply trying to earn a living."14.35 Part 2- A follower of our independent reporting sent a note reflecting on the coverage we have provided this past year. He touched on the federal election campaign, "the rise in unchecked anti-semitism in our city" and "the Province trying to push through a safe injection site that would be so destabilizing to the community it is established in."21.35 - Listen to an op-ed submitted to local media outlets by Portage La Prairie PC MLA Jeff Bereza, after he took part in all four of the public meetings held in December about a proposed Safe Consumption Site for 366 Henry Avenue in the North Logan neighbourhood. Noting how the announcement of the new location was made after the Legislature had wrapped up the fall session- meaning there could be no debate about the SCS in the House, Bereza noted: "Only one thing is abundantly clear following these four sessions: there is no plan."As the Critic of Homelessness, Housing, and Addictions, he itemized the unanswered questions from stakeholders, and the illogical claims from Minister Bernadette Smith and site proponents about staffing and policing for the drug user site. Bereza concluded that "The accusation that push-back and questions from neighbours and businesses is nothing more than nimby-ism is unfair and insulting."You can read the entire op-ed in the post for Episode 60 at ActionLine.ca.******MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OUR LISTENERS AND SUPPORTERS!

THE POWER AND DECLINE OF WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST Colleague David Pietrusza. Media magnate William Randolph Hearst, who controlled a vast empire of newspapers and radio stations, shifted from a Rooseveltsupporter in 1932 to a fierce critic by 1936. Hearst's reputation suffered after a controversial meeting with Adolf Hitler, which he attempted to downplay, but which accelerated his decline in popularity. Roosevelt, concerned about "crackpot ideas" and opposition from the wealthy, attempted to neutralize Hearst through intermediaries. However, the President's "soak the rich" tax policies deeply angered Hearst, leading the publisher to order his income reduced to avoid taxes and solidifying his break with FDR. NUMBER 5

With contributions by Blake Smith, Roger Lancaster, David Moulton, Stephen Adubato, Amir Naaman, Ran Heilbrunn, Pierre d'Alancaisez, Travis Jeppesen, Oliver Davis, Yotam Feldman, and Marcas Lancaster. Today's world of PrEP, Pride parades, and gay marriage eclipses the wildest dreams of the sexual revolution. While it was formerly deviant to promote gay lifestyles, it is now 'problematic' to suggest that not all departures from the norm are in the homosexual's best interest. Amidst this excess, a new wave of discontentment rises among the once-keenest proponents of sexual progress: gay men. What happened in the transition from inversion to homosexuality, gayness, and queerness? Why do some gay men lament the freedoms afforded to them by sexual and social acceptance? Bold and daring, the essays in Inversion: Gay Life After the Homosexual (Verdurin, 2025) reflect on the vicious cycle of debasement, acceptance, sacrifice, and liberation that homosexuality has been stuck in for longer than it wishes to acknowledge. As gay culture fails to confront its history, it adopts hollow narratives of struggle. Some gay men fear losing their freedoms, some advocate for sexual restraint, while others, lost in the ever-expanding LGBTQIA+ 'community, ' continue to make maximalist ideological demands of those outside. These responses mark a fracture in gay life. If there is some essence to homosexual desire, how is it being served by today's gay culture and queer politics? Has the gay man - homosexual, queer, or inverted - rendered himself obsolete? Bringing together contributions by eleven leading thinkers, theorists, and critics who examine the consequences of pink-washing history, denial of sexual realities, and the memetic nature of desire, Inversion reclaims homosexuality's lost depth in an era of profound discontent. Fearless in its critique and challenging in its proposals, Inversion considers the cultural and political aspects of gay life after homosexuality as it battles with queerness and the allure of a reactionary return, pharmacologically fueled sexual degeneration, and existential dread. Pierre d'Alancaisez is a critic, curator, and researcher interested in the changing role of art and its social institutions. His writing has appeared in The Critic, ArtReview, The Spectator, and Compact. Amir Naaman worked as a mailman, a cook, a bookseller, a comics publisher, a house painter and is now a personal trainer at the gym. His first novel The Hummingbirds, a homosexual horror story, was published in 2020. Learn more about your ad choices.

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 celebrate filmmaker James L. Brooks! His new movie Ella McKay is in theaters now! Our returning guest is very good friend Adam Drosin, and together we are The Brooks Brothers. Our B-Sides today are I'll Do Anything (musical cut included), Spanglish, and Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. We discuss Brooks' impossibly successful career as a producer of both film and television, his keen eye for talent (his support of superb filmmaker Kelly Fremon Craig), and, of course, his reckoning with failure. There's also the recipe for that sandwich in Spanglish, Julia Roberts' feelings about Nick Nolte on the set of I Love Trouble (which came out the same year as I'll Do Anything, a rough year for Nolte professionally), and that Gracie Films fanfare. We also give The Critic some deserved love. We ponder the editing choices in Brooks' 2010 debacle How Do You Know and celebrate his acting in the masterpiece Modern Romance (directed by Albert Brooks!). Cinematographer John Seale also said in an interview that the movie he shot that he used the most film on was Spanglish!

Dr. Marc Lewis is a neuroscientist, psychologist, and psychotherapist who taught developmental psychology at the University of Toronto for over 20 years. He's the author of "Memoirs of an Addicted Brain" and "The Biology of Desire: Why Addiction Is Not a Disease". Drawing from both his personal recovery journey and decades of research, Dr. Lewis offers a revolutionary perspective on addiction neuroscience.WHAT WE DISCUSSEDNEUROSCIENCE INSIGHTS:Why dopamine isn't a "pleasure chemical" and what it actually does in addictionThe real difference between healthy learning and addictive learningHow the striatum, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex create compulsive behaviorWhy different types of emotional pain lead to different substance choicesThe neuroplasticity principle: "what fires together, wires together"THERAPEUTIC PERSPECTIVES:Why addiction is NOT a chronic relapsing brain diseaseInternal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and how it heals addictionThe three parts: The Critic, The Firefighter, and The Exile (inner child)Why self-compassion is non-negotiable for recoveryHow to talk to the different "parts" of yourselfMark's approach with his 20-30 weekly therapy clientsPERSONAL WISDOM:Mark's 8-10 year journey through heroin and cocaine addictionHis daily practices for staying present and connected at age 74How he faced a terrible year (divorce, family estrangement, illness) with IFS toolsWhy connection (not sobriety) is the opposite of addictionPractical steps for breaking bad habits and building new neural pathwaysPARENTING & PREVENTION:How to talk to kids about drugs in a way they'll actually listenWhy loneliness is the biggest risk factor for addictionThe critical importance of movement, sleep, and feeling understoodWhy some childhood experimentation is actually healthyKEY INSIGHTS:"The opposite of addiction is not sobriety.
