Petula Clark has been famous since she was a child, when she was discovered on a wartime BBC radio show, and she has been on the radio, film and television ever since. In this episode she talks to Gyles about her remarkable and long career, about what it was like to grow up as a child star and about her complex relationship with her father. She talks about finding fame in France, and about Downtown, Don't Sleep in the Subway and working with Fred Astaire. She talks about her mother's early death from tuberculosis, and the death last year of her husband, Claude Wolff. This is a fascinating, poignant and intriguing conversation with one of our most enduring stars. Petula Clark's new book, "Is That You, Petula?" is out now and available here. Thank you Petula for taking the time to talk to us at Rosebud. Cue the music. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Summer. 1997. Four good-looking teens hit someone with their car and decide the best move is to dump the body and never talk about it again. A year later, surprise — someone knows what they did last summer. Cue the fisherman with a hook, a lot of screaming, and enough 90s angst to power a Dawson's Creek marathon. This is I Know What You Did Last Summer — where bad decisions, shiny hair, and slickers collide.
In this episode, we break down The Batman (2022) — Matt Reeves' dark, grounded, and psychological take on Batman. We explore Robert Pattinson's brooding portrayal of Bruce Wayne, the film's neo-noir detective tone, and how it redefines Gotham City through atmosphere and realism. We also analyze the movie's stunning cinematography, haunting score, and the deeper themes of vengeance, justice, and identity. From Paul Dano's terrifying Riddler to the emotional weight of Batman's journey, we discuss why The Batman stands apart from every version before it — and why it may be the best Batman movie ever made.

This is the Husker Doc Talk Podcast — 2025, Episode 16 — with Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka. If you're watching on YouTube, smash that subscribe button and ring the bell so new episodes land right away. Listening on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere else? Tap “Follow” so we're always in your queue, and leave a quick review to help more Husker fans find the show. This week, we start with the Saturday night roller coaster in Lincoln. Nebraska had USC on the ropes at halftime, and Travis was ready to declare it Matt Rhule's signature win… until the second half flipped. We dig into the turning points: Dylan Raiola's third-quarter exit, why Nebraska's run fits unraveled, and how a defense that held USC to 337 total yards still surrendered the game on the ground. Dr. Rob walks through the trenches: the interior getting knocked back, contain issues on the edge, and what that means in a Big Ten built on downhill football. Quarterback talk is unavoidable. Raiola isn't the problem — but does TJ Lateef's mobility unlock a different ceiling for this offense? We kick around what a full week of starter reps could look like for Lateef, what the receiver room needs to do to separate, and the difference between “better play-calling” and “good play-calling.” On the bright side: Emmett Johnson keeps carrying the load (29 carries, 165 yards in this one) and is tracking toward an All–Big Ten season. Then it's the stretch run: UCLA, Penn State, and Iowa. Which is the most winnable game — and why are the guys circling Penn State on the road? Rob resets expectations (seven wins feels like the realistic new baseline) and pinpoints the line play improvements from Evans at center and the one-and-done boost from Rocco Spindler — plus where tackle remains a concern. Would a dedicated tackles coach help? (Cue the Brian Ferentz-as-OL-coach debate and a few memes.) We also tackle the “blackout” conversation. Production value? A+. The look? Eerie and cool. But do alternate uniforms move the needle when you're not stacking wins? Travis argues it's a gimmick fans love but recruits don't care about in the NIL era — wins matter most. Agree or disagree, the crowd delivered. From there we zoom out to the national picture: the coaching carousel spinning, big-name jobs opening, and why stability in Lincoln still matters. Rhule's extension makes sense, but staff self-scouting has to be ruthless. Want to build sustainably? We go deep on recruiting philosophy with a Bill Bush-inspired segment: the #1 trait is competitiveness — grit — not just measurables. It's why some overlooked kids become program pillars while five-stars fade. That launches a lively sidebar on in-state QB recruiting (hello, Braylon Warren), relationship equity, and why you still offer your best local players even if the depth chart is crowded. We even sneak in some winning football: Augustana is 9-0 and sitting pretty in its super region despite injuries — Rob's rocking the powder-blue lid and explains DII regional calculus like a pro. Speaking of lids, we commiserate about $50 hats and why the right one is worth it. Shoutouts to the folks who keep this free for you: Orr Law Group — litigation, estate planning, NIL savvy and more.

Berly and LA dive into the emotional rollercoaster that is Supernatural's Season 8 finale, and spoiler alert: there were tears. Like, a LOT of tears.The episode kicks off with Crowley crashing Sheriff Jody Mills' blind date in the worst possible way (choking her out, not the fun kind), leading to Dean making a deal he swore he wouldn't make. Sam continues the demon-curing trials while injecting Crowley with purified blood, which leads to Mark Sheppard delivering a heartbreaking performance about just wanting to be loved. Meanwhile, Castiel gets manipulated by Metatron in what turns out to be a scheme to cast all angels out of heaven—not exactly the "closing the gates" plan they signed up for.The hosts are especially emotional about the final church scene between Sam and Dean, where Sam confesses he feels like he constantly lets Dean down, and Dean finally tells him to stop the trials. Cue the waterworks. Also featuring: Abaddon's fiery return (RIP that nice suit), Kevin stress-drinking whiskey in the bunker, and a whole lot of screaming at the TV about whether Jody survived.Fair warning: bring tissues and prepare for your heart to shatter into a million pieces.

Turn on the shower. Disrobe. Cue the music! Tonight, Ben Lewandowski and I consider the merits of the classic 1960 thriller PSYCHO, directed by the master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock. As well as the very curious remake in 1998 directed by Gus Van Zant. This is an interesting one folks, since no other filmmaker has ever intentionally set out to copy a film to this degree. Ben and I had a great time discussing these films and we hope you will have just as good a time listening to our ramblings. Let's go!

There's a dual focus to this show as we reflect on an incredible week while also taking an overall look at the year as our friends at PFA Ireland have given us the honour of naming the Premier Division team of the year on this week's show.

In our Halloween special, we dive into Sinister — the #1 scariest movie ever made, according to a scientific study that measured audience heart rates. We break down why this movie hits so hard psychologically, how its use of sound and visual dread creates a lasting sense of terror, and why it's considered one of the most effective horror films of all time. From the chilling Super 8 tapes to Baguul's eerie presence, we explore every detail that makes Sinister such a disturbing masterpiece. Chapters: 00:00 How science proved this to be the scariest of all time 6:12 Crazy stories from on set 11:36 Ethan Hawke is so unlikable in this movie 24:30 The worst death in the movie 29:50 So you're telling me kids can pull these crimes off? 32:55 Horror movies mess too many kids up 36:56 Ethan Hawke was so close to a hit book 37:53 How good of a deal would it take to buy a murder house? 41:28 Breaking down the evil children's short films 49:43 Mr. Booger is pretty creative 51:47 The plot hole in the movie 54:11 They filmed Ethan Hawke's genuine reaction to the tapes 56:25 Back to Ethan Hawke being a terrible father 1:02:58 Our official rating & final thoughts 1:15:02 Cue the music
Send us a textStep into the roar of 1859 as we stage a real-time radio reenactment of John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry. We don't narrate from a safe distance; we drop you into the town as telegraph wires snap, church bells turn to alarms, and the first shots streak over the Potomac. The result is a tense, immersive experience that reveals how a desperate plan by 21 men pulled a divided nation closer to civil war.We follow Brown's radical vision to seize the federal armory, arm the enslaved, and trigger an uprising, then measure it against the cold reality of Marines assembling under a colonel named Robert E. Lee. You'll hear the clatter of boots outside the engine house, feel the helplessness of hostages, and sense the moral heat that pushed abolition from prayer to powder. By simulating breaking news, we capture uncertainty as it happened—before verdicts, before myth, while choices still splintered by the minute. That immediacy surfaces questions that echo now: when is force justified, what does courage cost, and how do tactics reshape a cause?Beyond the drama, we unpack why a failed raid could still rewrite the nation's timetable. The operation collapses within 48 hours, but its shock travels farther than any telegram. Trials transform into platforms, newspapers harden into trenches, and compromise gives way to confrontation. Through layered sound design and focused storytelling, we show how communication, logistics, and conviction collided at Harper's Ferry—and why the blast wave still ripples through debates on resistance and justice today.Cue up the episode, put on your headphones, and walk into the engine house with us.

The one to the north. The World Series. The two baseball writers discuss whether the Los Angeles Dodgers, who may not be ruining baseball, might just be ruining the National League. The Dodgers are playing for their ninth World Series championship -- a total that would tie them with the Boston Red Sox and Nomadic Athletics. It would also put them three titles shy of leapfrogging the Cardinals' historic trademark trait and overtaking them as the pre-eminent National League team when it comes to trophies. Author of "The Grandest Stage: A History of the World Series," Kepner offers perspective on the Dodgers' chances while also detailing what this World Series means to Don Mattingly and how the Blue Jays can overtake the favorites from Hollywood. There is a story about an autographed baseball, too. To quote Kepner: "Cue that jaunty music." Kepner joins the Best Podcast in Baseball from Toronto, where he's covering the World Series as a senior writer for The Athletic and baseball writer for the New York Times. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.
So apparently Steve Bannon announced in an interview that Donald Trump will run for a third term. Because, you know, why start following the Constitution now? We'll break down this latest descent into delusion, and Trump's childlike meltdown over Canada's anti-tariff ad. (Yes, he's mad at Canada again. Cue the tiny violins.) Joining Don tonight is comedian Jay Jurden, who's bringing the laughs as we try to make sense of the nonsense. Because sometimes the only way to deal with this circus is to laugh at it.
This week's episode opens with our hosts in recovery mode from another whirlwind of watch events in New York City. Between too many cocktails, too few hours of sleep, and an overload of new releases, they manage to squeeze in some insight into what makes this strange little world of watch collecting tick.Our recent watch-enthusiast survey gets dissected, revealing that the average collector spends less than you'd think, most of them also play guitar, and nearly everyone pretends to understand constant-force mechanisms. Cue a lively debate about integrated bracelets (“Free the bracelet!”) and why the supposedly sacred “three-watch collection” rule might be the dumbest idea the hobby ever produced.Omega's latest Speedmaster drops into the conversation like a well-timed meme — inspiring both awe and eye-rolls. The crew then takes a detour into rebranding gone wrong, using the fictional “Brahmot” as a case study in how to confuse your fanbase while trying to sound modern. Spoiler: Clear communication still matters more than Helvetica font choices.The discussion gets philosophical — and slightly unhinged — about consumer education, certification programs, and Seiko's website, which earns the definitive verdict: “Seiko doesn't run good websites.” Somewhere between talk of health insurance, music, and cultural references, the group concludes that the watch industry runs best on caffeine, optimism, and a bit of chaos.It's a fast, funny, and brutally honest ride through the watch industry's weird ecosystem — equal parts therapy session and roast. Whether you're rocking a Speedmaster or a Seiko 5, remember — collecting watches is supposed to be fun. Don't let your bracelet hold you back.

Nels & Mollie Sitting in a Tree (K-I-S-S-I-N-G… sorta) Hold onto your bonnets, folks—Nels Oleson is LIVING. HIS. BEST. LIFE.This week, we dive into Season 6's “Second Spring,” aka the midlife crisis episode we didn't know we needed. Nels finally gets fed up with Harriet, Nellie, and Willy's constant harping and dinner demands, and decides it's time to take a little “business trip” … and maybe find himself a little happiness while he's at it.Cut to: Nels, free at last, living his prairie bachelor fantasy at a charming boarding house run by Mollie — a sweet Irish beauty with a soft brogue, a warm heart, and the kind of kindness Harriet wouldn't recognize if it smacked her with a bonnet. Suddenly, Nels is smiling again, cracking jokes, and looking suspiciously like a man who's discovered the meaning of life (and maybe love) over a cup of tea.Meanwhile, back in Walnut Grove, Harriet realizes something terrifying: Nels might actually not come back. Cue full panic mode. It's possibly the most begrudging display of vulnerability ever committed to frontier television.Will Nels leave his life for Mollie's kindness and her lilting accent? Or will Harriet's last-ditch charm offensive win him back? Either way, the Olesons are serving up one of the wildest emotional rollercoasters this side of Plum Creek. (Is it just me or are we kind of rooting for Team Nels & Mollie?)Tune in as we unpack this one, and celebrate the fact that—for one glorious episode—Nels Oleson said “I choose me.”Then, join us on Patreon where Dean and Alison talk all things Richard Bull!Links and Resources:Haven't signed up for Patreon yet?

MOTEL HELL arrived only months after FRIDAY THE 13TH, poised to be regarded as merely another slasher imitator looking to cash a quick buck. However, Kevin Connor's horror-comedy, penned by brothers Robert & Steven-Charles Jaffe, deceptively avoided the pitfalls of its contemporaries. This movie, about a farmer and motel owner (Rory Calhoun) killing wayward travelers to grind into the blend for his famous smoked meats, dives into psychedelia, satire, even thoughtful discussions regarding social fears of the time.If the world is overpopulated, isn't Farmer Vincent doing the greater good by eliminating the riff raff? The sex workers, the weed-smoking rock and roll ruffians, the degenerate swingers, the health inspectors working as pawns for a meddling bureaucracy? Vincent's crusade might even be a calling from the Almighty.But nobody's perfect and when Vincent takes a liking to his newest would-be victim, a beautiful blonde named Terry (Nina Axelrod), the threads of this backwoods operation begin to unravel.Cue chainsaws, hypnosis, pig masks, mass hysteria and a stellar country song. Can you really ask for anything better?MOTEL HELL is available to watch on Tubi.---Follow, rate and review THE MOVIES wherever you listen to podcasts!Follow THE MOVIES on Instagram, Bluesky & Letterboxd
From the smoky streets of Little Italy to the milk-stained benches of a hitman's apartment, Born to Watch takes aim at one of the most unique and controversial action dramas of the '90s with its Leon: The Professional (1994) Review. In this week's episode, Whitey, Damo, and Dan on the Land dive deep into Luc Besson's stylish, unsettling, and surprisingly heartfelt film about an unlikely bond between a hitman and a 12-year-old girl.Would this movie be made today? Probably not. But that's part of its enduring intrigue. The crew revisit the world of Jean Reno's stoic assassin, Gary Oldman's manic DEA agent, and Natalie Portman's breakout performance as Matilda, the orphan who turns vengeance into a calling.As the boys reminisce, they take a nostalgic trip back to 1994, the year that gave us Green Day's Dookie, Nirvana's Unplugged, Pearl Jam's Vitalogy, and The Offspring's Smash. It was also the year they thought they were "arty as hell" watching French cinema in suburban multiplexes. Cue the milk, the braces, and the John Wayne impressions; this episode delivers the perfect blend of pop culture, humour, and heartfelt nostalgia that makes Born to Watch such a cult favourite.Damo questions the fascination with milk-drinking hitmen, Dan lists the defining albums of '94, and Whitey recalls seeing the film in cinemas, not realising it would later feel very different once he had an 11-year-old daughter of his own. Together, they unpack the film's layered characters:Leon (Jean Reno): slow, gentle, and dangerous, with an oddly pure soul.Matilda (Natalie Portman): vulnerable yet vengeful, performing far beyond her age in a debut that stunned the industry.Stansfield (Gary Oldman): a villain so unhinged, it's impossible to look away. His Beethoven-fuelled rampage remains one of the most gloriously overacted performances in movie history.The trio debates whether the film's tone, which sits somewhere between action, arthouse, and morality play, could survive modern scrutiny. There's talk of Luc Besson's eccentric direction, Portman's controlled emotional performance, and the film's moral discomfort that keeps audiences divided decades later.They also share behind-the-scenes gems, such as Portman's parents' restrictions on smoking scenes, her early mastery of on-screen crying, and Luc Besson's knack for finding raw emotion in unlikely places. Damo draws parallels to The Exorcist, Dan applauds Reno's physical subtlety, and Whitey argues that Portman should have received an Oscar nomination if not for Anna Paquin's earlier win for The Piano.The gang laugh their way through some classic Born to Watch segments:The Cry-Meter: Whitey admits to misty eyes (7.5%) during the early tragedy.The Snorb's Report: Featuring Elle Macpherson in Sirens, naturally.The Hit, Sleeper, and Dud: With shoutouts to The River Wild, Wagons East, and Legends of the Fall.By the end, the trio agree that Leon remains both haunting and hypnotic, a masterpiece of tone, performance, and ambiguity. It's a film that feels both dangerous and tender, and is completely unforgettable.JOIN THE CONVERSATION Was Gary Oldman the most unhinged villain of the '90s? Why do all hitmen love milk?

In this episode, we dive deep into Donnie Darko — a cult classic that mixes psychological thriller, sci-fi, and existential drama into one mind-bending story. We break down the film's themes of time, fate, and mental illness while exploring how Richard Kelly crafted a story that feels both cosmic and intimate. We analyze Donnie's character arc, the meaning behind Frank the Rabbit, and the subtle clues that explain the movie's mysterious ending. From the alternate universes to its philosophical undertones, we discuss why Donnie Darko continues to captivate audiences decades later.

Angel Tuccy is an award-winning speaker, radio host, TV producer, media specialist. She's the author of 15 bestsellers, and hosts multiple successful online events. A recent one had 6,000 attendees. So this girl knows how to throw a party. So I was surprised, when we talked about the first party she tried to throw which didn't go the way she hoped. What Was the Idea? Angel wanted to create a space where podcasters and potential guests could connect. In 2020, she launched the Need a Guest Facebook community. It took off like wildfire, growing to 10,000 members in just two years. What Went Wrong? Angel built the community but forgot one very important piece: the email list. Ten thousand people in her group… and not a single email address. No opt-in. No funnel. Nothing. As Angel put it, that number was a big fat goose egg. Cue the collective groan ... and laughter. How did Angel Turn it Around She started by adding a Chrome extension to collect emails as new members joined and sent a personal welcome message. That simple change meant every new connection is automatically added to her CRM, where she can follow up directly. Within two years, the group grew from 10,000 to 40,000 members, and this time she captured emails from every single one. Then came the second pivot. With the help of copywriter Jamie Atkinson, Angel went from sending no emails at all to sending a daily message. The result was immediate. Her audience, who had been waiting to hear from her, started responding. In the first month, six new clients signed on. From there, daily emails turned into conversations, conversations turned into sales calls, and sales calls turned into revenue. Building systems that connected the dots between community, communication, and clients was a game changer. ABOUT ANGEL Angel Tuccy is an award-winning Speaker, Radio Host, TV Producer, PR Media Specialist, and author of 15 bestsellers.

Berly and LA tackle Supernatural Season 8, Episode 19: "Taxi Driver" - and the episode title should really be "We Told You So" because the hosts called EVERYTHING.The episode opens with Kevin having horrific hallucinations of Crowley dismembering him on that disgusting houseboat (still not the bunker, Sam and Dean!). The hosts are STILL demanding Kevin get moved to safety, and spoiler alert: he doesn't, which goes about as well as you'd expect.Kevin deciphers the second trial: rescue an innocent soul from Hell and deliver it to Heaven. The hosts were thrilled at the prospect of seeing both realms, but the 45-minute runtime had other plans. Sam and Dean torture a crossroads demon (after filming the Harlem Shake video at that location - priorities!), who tells them about Ajay, a Reaper who smuggles souls for a price.Enter Ajay, a "cutie patootie" Reaper taxi driver who agrees to help for the low price of a future favor. He drops Sam in Purgatory (Hell-adjacent real estate!), which leads to the easiest journey ever - one monster fight, a conveniently placed weapon, and boom, he's in Hell. The hosts were suspicious of how smoothly everything went.The heartbreaking twist: Ajay reveals he took Bobby Singer to Hell. Sam rescues Bobby from his cell (Bobby's ghost skills are on point now!), and they escape back to Purgatory. But Ajay has been killed by Crowley, leaving them stranded.Cue the tears: Dean calls Benny for help. The vampire who doesn't fit in with humans OR vampires agrees to sacrifice himself, leading Sam through Purgatory to the portal. Benny stays behind to fight off other vampires, choosing to remain in Purgatory rather than return. Berly was SOBBING, noting this was somehow more tragic than if Benny had succumbed to bloodlust.Sam successfully gets Bobby's soul to Heaven (with Naomi's help - she's maybe not completely evil?), completing the second trial. But back at the houseboat, Crowley captures Kevin after killing Mrs. Tran off-screen (the hosts are NOT okay with these beloved character deaths happening off-camera).The episode ends with everything gone - Kevin, the tablet, all his notes. The hosts smugly remind everyone they predicted Sam would come around on Benny once he actually met him, and Dean admits he didn't burn Benny's bones, leaving the door open for his return.Berly and LA were emotionally wrecked by Benny's sacrifice while simultaneously vindicated by their predictions. They're still confused about Naomi's true motives but appreciate finally getting some forward movement on her character."I already said goodbye to you once, Sam. Didn't seem to take. No reason to think I won't see you again somewhere down the road."Sources:https://supernatural.fandom.com/wiki/Taxi_Driverhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2076426/episodes/14802473Send us your review!Support the showTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING!Please rate and review Denim-Wrapped Nightmares wherever you get your podcasts!

Aziz Ansari is a comedian who seems to always have been intrigued by the idea of status, and the stranglehold it can put people in. You might not immediately think of it when you think of his work, but the 42-year-old seems drawn to dreamers and strivers and people who yearn to transcend their station in life, finding comedy and drama in the gap between what they have and what they covet.In Parks & Recreation, the hit sitcom that made him a household name, Aziz played Tom Haverford, a small-town entrepreneur obsessed with expensive colognes, designer clothes and living a luxury existence; this despite working in the not exactly glamorous world of local government. His acclaimed stand-up work has also touched on materialism. And who can forget Master Of None, the Netflix series he wrote and directed, from 2015 to 2021. That Emmy Award-winning show frequently discussed social mobility. As a child of Indian immigrants, Aziz's character Dev found himself on more than one occasion reflecting on the life that he gets to live compared to the one his parents sacrificed to give him.Which brings us to Good Fortune – the comedian's hilarious feature directorial debut. It's a movie that could only exist in our depressing era of gig work and Amazon so-called fulfilment centres. Aziz plays Arj – a Task Rabbit employee trying and failing to make ends meet. At his wits end after a series of setbacks, he's visited by an angel named Gabriel, played by Keanu Reeves, who swaps him into the shoes of his ultra-rich boss, Jeff, played by Seth Rogen. He's meant to learn that actually, money isn't the solution to all your problems. True happiness comes from within. Just one problem – in our cost-of-living crisis era, money does at the very least make people's lives much easier. Arj doesn't want to swap back. Cue a ridiculous and ridiculously funny romp through LA's glitziest parties and seediest shadow spaces. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Aziz tells me about actually becoming a Door Dash worker in real life, delivering food to people's doors, as a window into the impossible economics of jobs like that. We break down the funniest moments and the most powerful truths in this tale. And you'll also hear Aziz reflect on his own relationship with luck and so-called good fortune.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Brooke wants it simple and minimal—no balloons allowed—which is not exactly Kelly's style, but she's stepping back and letting Brooke take the lead… even if it's hard!The moms also share a sweet message from a listener who says the girls clearly had a strong support system to come through Dance Moms with class and grace—something that wasn't always on display on-screen. Cue the well-deserved pats on the back.Finally, the ladies open up about how old clips resurfacing on social media can stir up more than just memories. Do they still feel the drama?

Dearest faithful EIC listeners, happy Friday, it's time for a round table discussion to dissect the biggest stories from the week.The UK's first ever celebrity Traitors is here, following beloved series across in the US. This cohort include huge figures like Stephen Fry, Claire Balding, Jonathan Ross, Charlotte Church, Alan Carr and Nick Mohammed to name a few. The show, which was recorded earlier this year at Ardross Castle in Scotland, features 19 celebrity contestants competing for a prize of £100,000 for a charity of their choosing. We talk about whether or the beloved show is executing this new famous format.Next up, sugar daddy finances. We recently read a piece for Bustle by Camille Soheet Pesha called Even The Sugar Daddies Are Feeling The Squeeze: As costs of living climb, high earners who once had money to burn on their sex lives are cutting back.” And in the piece she explores a troubling trend where the men who were once willing and able to splash the cash on sugar babies are now struggling to keep up. Sugar dating, for anyone not aware, is a type of transactional relationship where sugar daddies, typically older and wealthier, would offer gifts and money and a better quality of life to often younger, very beautiful women who offer companionship and intimacy. We discuss our thoughts on the piece.Lastly, last year we had Brat girl summer, but the season of green might not be over yet, are we potentially having Zack Polanski autumn? The Green party has reached over 110,000 members at the time of recording, for the first time. In England and Wales the party has had over a 55% rise in membership since Polanski took over last month. Polanski has had an unconventional path to politics, previously working as an actor, hypnotherapist and mental health counsellor. And yet is proving to be one of the most effective communicators we've seen in a very long time. One of Polanksi's slogans is ‘Let's make hope normal again', is this stratospheric new interest in the Green Party making us feel hopeful?We hope you enjoy listening, please do leave us a review on Apple Podcasts and a rating on Spotify or wherever you get podcasts, love, O,R,B xxRuchira's been loving: RoofmanBeth's been loving: Better ManOenone's been loving: Game Of ThronesThe Celebrity TraitorsEven The Sugar Daddies Are Feeling The SqueezeGreen Party over 100k membersThanks so much to Cue for editing this podcast.

"Is lobster from a fast food window the future of dining — or a culinary crime?"In this deliciously chaotic episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray serve up a sizzling segment of food talk that's equal parts hilarious and surprisingly insightful.The gang dives into the strange world of fast food innovation, starting with the mysterious rise of steak bites — and Ben's brutally honest review: “Man, it was ass.” From cold steak nuggets to leather-textured protein, the crew doesn't hold back. Skin jokes, “I love steak leather. You can use it for protein or as a wallet.”Then comes the big reveal: a new two-in-one restaurant opening in Plano — Angie's Lobster and Angie's Prime Grill — promising luxury eats like lobster rolls for just $9.99. But would you trust lobster from a drive-thru? The debate heats up as the team weighs in on hot vs. cold lobster rolls, butter vs. mayo, and the food truck vs. fast food experience.Krystina drops a bombshell: “I just don't like lobster.” Cue the collective gasp.
In this segment of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into a whirlwind of celebrity news and personal reflections, kicking things off with a somber yet heartfelt tribute to R&B icon D'Angelo, whose untimely passing at 51 from pancreatic cancer left fans reeling. Skin shares a deeply personal story about his connection to D'Angelo's music, including seeing him live in Dallas three times since 1995. But it's not all heavy. The gang lightens the mood with a hilarious breakdown of D'Angelo's infamous “Untitled” music video — yes, the one with the V. KT confesses it inspired him to start doing sit-ups at age 11, while Ben and Skin riff on the absurdity of being a reluctant sex symbol. Cue the panty-throwing concert stories and a perfectly timed jab: “No one wants to be R. Kelly. Hindsight.”The segment also touches on the passing of Diane Keaton (no, she's not related to Michael Keaton — we Googled it too), and the surprising hospitalization of Home Alone star Daniel Stern, prompting KT to jokingly predict he might be next in the celebrity “comes-in-threes” curse.From gut-punching grief to gut-busting laughs, this episode is a rollercoaster of emotion, nostalgia, and classic Ben and Skin banter.
It may be "end of line" for Earth's Mightiest Critics as we sift through the corrupted-file wasteland of Tron: Ares!Jared Leto stars as the titular security program caught in the middle of a corporate struggle to bring digital avatars into the real world. Cue the light cycles, data discs, sky-beam portals, and a fistful of other jangling keys meant to distract from a story that literally sets the franchise back by more than a decade.The gang also looks at other franchises crushed under Disney's IP onslaught, and assesses DC's prospects for doing something different with its own blockbuster properties (spoiler alert: it's grim).Join us for a code-bashing (and head-bashing) roundtable review--where we also take your questions, comments, and SuperChats!Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon, subscribe to us on YouTube, and follow us at:XLetterboxdInstagramFacebookShow LinksWatch the Tron: Ares (2025) trailer.Support all of Earth's Mightiest Critics at their various outlets:Keep up with Jeff York's criticism and caricatures at The Establishing Shot and Pipeline Artists.Check out Mark "The Movie Man" Krawczyk's The Spoiler Room Podcast.Get seated with The Blonde in Front!Follow David Fowlie's film criticism at Keeping It Reel.Get educated with Don Shanahan at Every Movie Has a Lesson…...And Film Obsessive...and the Cinephile Hissy Fit Podcast.Keep up with Annie Banks at The Mary Sue....and We Got This Covered.Make Nice with Mike Crowley of You'll Probably Agree.And save your celluloid soul with Dave Canfield's Substack, "Creature Feature Preacher".

Edition No254 ||| Day 1,339 ||| 15-10-2025 - This is your Silicon Bites Daily Geopolitics Brief, with a rundown of news stories on 15th October 2025. We cover Ukraine, Russia, China and the global struggle against autocracy. We start with a moment of extraordinary weakness, a comment that could act as a red rag to a bull, as far as Putin is concerned, because he is provoked to aggression by weakness, not by strength and push back. Mark Rutte claims that shooting down Russian jets breaching allied airspace would be a sign of weakness. Cue a storm of criticism from Ukrainians and Eastern Europeans who actually live under the flight paths of Russia drones and missiles. We also examine Russia's latest winter strikes on Ukraine's grid; Kyiv hits back deep inside Russia; Poland warns Europe to prepare for “deep” Russian attacks; and NATO scrambles for fresh air defences as aid dips. ----------This is super important. There are so many Battalions in Ukraine, fighting to defend our freedoms, but lack basics such as vehicles. These are destroyed on a regular basis, and lack of transport is costs lives, and Ukrainian territory.

In this long-awaited episode, Gyles (and Harriet) talk to the psychotherapist, writer and broadcaster Julia Samuel about bereavement. As regular Rosebud listeners will know, bereavement - whether in childhood or adulthood - is a recurring theme on the podcast, and we have received and shared many heartfelt and deeply moving emails from listeners who lost parents and family members when they were very young, and in difficult circumstances. We also know that we're listened to by lots of recent widows, and others who are grieving. This special episode is for you, and for anyone else who knows the pain of grief... which is probably most of us, let's be honest! Julia Samuel is the founder of Child Bereavement UK, an experienced psychotherapist, and the writer of the best-selling book Grief Works (which is also an app and a podcast). She is one of the UK's foremost experts on bereavement and grief, the ways it affects us, and the ways we can heal and grow through it. In this long and fascinating conversation, she talks to Gyles about the importance of "jumping in the puddle" of grief, and not denying or ignoring it. She talks about the best ways to support someone who has lost a loved one. She talks about her own family history, and the way her family story, with its secrets and buried feelings, led her to work in this field. And the podcast ends with Julia talking to Harriet about her experience of the death of her mother, who took her own life when Harriet was 13. (This episode does contain references to suicide). We would love to hear your thoughts and stories that arise from listening to this edition of Rosebud. Email us any time at hello@rosebudpodcast.com and Harriet will try her best to reply! You can also chat to fellow listeners on our Facebook page, Rosebud Reflections. Lots of people are sharing their stories on there. We're honoured to have Julia Samuel with us today. And we're honoured that you're listening to us. Cue the music... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
