You get chaos, secrets… and one very suspicious death.In this episode, I chat with British comedian-turned-mystery author Fergus Craig about his latest cozy crime novel, I'm Not the Only Murderer in My Retirement Home. We talk about writing a likable serial killer, the art of “cracked cozy” mysteries, and how parody crime novels unexpectedly launched his fiction career. If you love cozy mysteries with a dark twist — and characters who blur the line between wrong and relatable — this one's for you.We also dive into his favorite reads (including a book he calls the best he's ever read), and why sometimes escape fiction is exactly what readers need right now.

Erica Rhodes joins the pod to roast cocky comics, debate conspiracy theories, discuss her viral JonBenét Ramsey moment, compare injuries, and sage the negative the fuck away. Erica and I bond over working in radio, being former background extras, and hating on SNL. Toxic hookups, viral moments, jury duty, copycat comics... we shit talk everything! Burn some sage with us and get a taste of Erica's hilarious 2026 Call Me Crazy Tour in this candid conversation.

Send a textIn this episode of the Pop Cult Experience Podcast, we discuss the exciting changes in the podcast, including a soft reboot and new co-hosts. We dive into the anticipated TV shows, movies, albums, concerts, comics and gaming releases for 2026. We highlight the return of beloved series like Scrubs and Ted Lasso on the small screen. We discuss upcoming albums and concerts, from the likes of The Maine, New Found Glory and Broadside.  We get between the covers in anticipation of some comic books and graphics novels coming out this year, with Saga being one high on the radar. Before dipping into the movies we are most looking forward to this year, we discuss irreplaceable experience of watching movies in the theater, and the multifaceted world of cinema, discussing the shared experience of watching certain movies with a crowd versus those films that require an individual focus. We then delve into the upcoming movie release calendar, highlighting those we deem to be of the must watch variety. We hope you enjoy.  (As this is a longer episode we have added chapter markers for your convenience)

El presidente Trump ha dicho que EEUU necesita Groenlandia y que por las buenas o por las malas, lo tendrá. Si invadiera la isla sería un evidente casus belli que enfrentaría a Estados unidos y a la Unión Europea, que tendría que salir en defensa de Dinamarca. Sin embargo, ambas naciones son democracias consolidadas y muchos politólogos afirman que existe una ley histórica que asegura que nunca ha habido una guerra entre naciones democráticas.La Teoría de la Paz Democrática postula que las democracias son menos propensas a entrar en guerra entre sí debido a normas compartidas de resolución pacífica de problemas, instituciones transparentes y la rendición de cuentas de los líderes ante los votantes, aunque también se critica por justificar intervenciones militares en países no democráticos,sugiriendo que las democracias son más pacíficas con otras democracias pero más agresivas hacia regímenes autoritarios, buscando una "paz perpetua" a través de la expansión democrática. Pero Trump no tiene ideología más allá de su propio poder,del mismo modo que no tiene un sentido de Estados Unidos como objeto más allá de su propia persona. En esta vertiginosa disolución de los límites, hay poco que pueda frenar su hambre de poder ilimitado. Con los recursos de la nación más rica del mundo y el ejército más poderoso a su disposición, Trump reclama una licencia sin fronteras para volverse contra sus supuestos enemigos. A pesar de todas sus aspiraciones pacifistas, Trump ha recurrido a la fuerza. Su segundo mandato se ha caracterizado por amenazas agresivas y actos de violencia militar contra objetivos extranjeros, llevados a cabo sin informar al Congreso y muchomenos sin solicitar su aprobación previa. Las democracias son los sistemas políticos más inteligentes, pero necesitan aprender más, porque la mayoría de los problemas con que nos enfrentamos necesitan más y mejor saber, no basta con voluntad política y autoridad.Atribuciones:                   “Battle in Space  – Soundlufs“Dramatic Suspenseful Orchestral Trailer”  – AudioZen“Star Spangled Banner”  – gballx“Imperial Order”  – SpaceStockFootage“March”  – alexbirdEntradilla y cierre: “The Comedy” deplaincaskMúsica de fondo: “Dark Comedy” de AudioAgent

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, speaks to Frank, who discussed his mental health struggles, including major depressive disorder and chronic suicidal ideation, and how humor helps him cope. Frank emphasized the importance of starting conversations about suicide, noting that one person dies by suicide every 40 seconds globally. He highlighted the need for empathy and intervention to prevent suicides, sharing stories of how his talks have helped individuals. Frank aims to save a life a day through his work. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/frank-king     Highlights from today's episode include:  For some people, suicide is always an option their brain offers, even for small problems (e.g., car breaks down: "fix it / buy a new one / kill myself").  Naming it ("chronic suicidal ideation") helps people realize they're not freaks and not alone, which can be profoundly relieving and life-changing. Suicide often results from a cascade of factors, like a car accident with many causes (nighttime, rain, slick road, etc.). A simple intervention—someone asking, "Are you okay?" or showing they care—can interrupt that cascade and literally save a life (e.g., Kevin Hines on the Golden Gate Bridge). You highlight that in contexts like MAID in Canada, people are often met with serious validation of ending life but not always offered a gap—humor, caring connection, or alternative ways of seeing their situation.   ABOUT FRANK KING: Frank King, Suicide Prevention Speaker, writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years, speaker and comedian for 39. His speaking is informed by his lifetime of Depression and Suicidality and coming close enough to ending his life that he can tell you what the barrel of his gun tastes like. Turning that long dark journey of the soul into 13 TEDx Talks, sharing his lifesaving insights with corporations, and associations. He's shared the stage with comedians, Jeff Foxworthy, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Dr. Ken Jung, Ellen DeGeneres, Dennis Miller, and Bill Hicks, as well as entertainers, Lou Rawls, The Beach Boys, Randy Travis, and Nancy Wilson. On top of all of that, he has survived 2 aortic valve replacements, a double bypass, a heart attack, and losing to a puppet on the original Star Search and has lived to joke about it all.

Travis Hopson reviews Paul Feig's THE HOUSEMAID starring Amanda Seyfried, Sydney Sweeney, and Brandon Sklenar!SYNOPSIS: THE HOUSEMAID is a wildly entertaining thriller starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, based on the best-selling book. From director Paul Feig, the film plunges audiences into a twisted world where perfection is an illusion, and nothing is as it seems. Trying to escape her past, Millie (Sweeney) accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar). But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous — a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power. Behind the Winchesters' closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end.THE HOUSEMAID is in theaters now.All of this and more can be found at www.punchdrunkcritics.com!Subscribe to Punch Drunk Critics on YouTube:    / @punchdrunkcritics1  Follow Punch Drunk Critics on Twitter:   / pdcmovies  Follow Punch Drunk Critics on Facebook:   / pdcmovies  You can also subscribe to our podcast Cinema Royale anywhere you get your podcasts!#TheHousemaid #SydneySweeney #AmandaSeyfried

Please note: In the interest of artistic verisimilitude, the section "The Horrors of Weaponized Eros" (from 28:12 to 32:21) contains some rough material. If you skip it, I won't mind a bit, I promise. If you listen to it, don't say I didn't warn you.I DON'T WANT YOUR SELF-HELP — I WANT YOUR SURRENDERListen up, you beautiful disaster. You're not lost - you're exactly where the universe wants you to be: face-down in the cosmic mud puddle of your own making. And I'm here to tell you that's perfectly fucking fine.You want to know about modern life? It's a three-ring circus where everyone's a clown but nobody's laughing. You're juggling your daddy issues with one hand and swiping Tinder with the other, while some tech bro guru tells you to manifest abundance through crystal-activated blockchain meditation.But here's the thing: I don't care about your journey to enlightenment. I care about your descent into glorious chaos.You see, Los Angeles isn't a city - it's a shared hallucination where every sunset is an Instagram filter for your existential crisis. We're all out here playing spiritual Halloween, dressed up in personalities we borrowed from TED talks and therapy podcasts.Want real power? Stop pretending you don't want it. My clients come to me thinking they need "boundaries" and "healing." What they really need is permission to be the magnificent monster they already are. Think less "mindful meditation" and more "mindful manipulation." But with style. With grace. With the kind of raw charisma that makes people want to burn their life down just to warm their hands in your flames.You're not afraid of intimacy - you're afraid of how good you are at avoiding it. Those trust issues? They're your survival instincts doing jazz hands. That imposter syndrome? It's just your ego having performance anxiety.Let's talk about sex, because that's what you really want to know about. Not the vanilla self-help "love yourself" bs. I'm talking about the kind of connection that feels like psychological parkour. The art of being emotionally unavailable while remaining physically irresistible. It's a special kind of power, making people crave your absence as much as your presence.And relationships? They're just temporary autonomous zones where we play-act at permanence. Your polyamory isn't progressive - it's prehistoric. We're all just cavemen with credit cards, trying to finger-paint our way through intimate connections with fingerless gloves on.But here's the secret they don't want you to know: none of this matters, and that's what makes it magnificent. Your neuroses are your superpowers. Your damage is your brand. Your chaos is your calling card.I don't want to fix you. I want to watch you set yourself on fire and sell tickets to the show.So stop gripping that rearview mirror like it's a life raft. The past is just badly written fan fiction of your life. The future? It's a Nigerian prince email scam. The present is all we've got, and it's a hell of a lot more interesting when you stop trying to make sense of it.Welcome to the shit show. Admission is free. Your soul is the collateral.And trust me - I don't care if you trust me. That's what makes me trustworthy.All that plus a postcard from friend of the show Helena the Brit!Join us.

Yorgos Lanthimos has a new movie dropping and this time Emma Stone isn't naked. Bugonia is a solid flick that relies heavily on the actors and light on the plot, so much so I was interested in how the movie interested me so much. Jesse Plemmons plays Teddy, a tin foil hat guy who listens to too much Joe Rogan and is convinced Michelle (Stone) is an alien who wants to eliminate the human race, one bee colony at a time. Is Teddy nuts or is Michelle not who the world thinks she is? Lanthimos delivers the goods with this remake of a 2003 Korean flick that had me guessing till the end.If you're not doing so already, please like and follow Classic American Movies on Instagram and Facebook. I do free movie giveaways, mini movie reviews and more! Also, I decided to dabble in making my own slasher film called “Bishop's Day”. Check out the Instagram page for updates.

Send us a textHost Joe Curdy sits down with writer-director Michael Diliberti and actor Johnny Simmons to talk about their new 2025 action-comedy film BAD MAN — a wildly entertaining, small-town crime farce starring Seann William Scott, Rob Riggle, and the late Chance Perdomo. The conversation dives into the film's creation, the mix of chaos and charm behind its southern-fried humor, and how the cast brought this offbeat world of loveable lawmen and outlaws to life.From writing and production challenges to capturing the spirit of SUPER TROOPERS crossed with NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN for a new generation, Diliberti and Simmons share stories from the set, insights into their characters, and what made BAD MAN such a memorable and heartfelt project — both on and off camera.Thank you for listening!

5. Monsieur Verdoux Flop and HUAC Persecution Scott Eyman Charlie Chaplin versus America: When Art, Sex, and Politics Collided Chaplin purchased the idea for Monsieur Verdoux from Orson Welles, but the 1947 film—a dark comedy about a serial killer—became his first commercial failure, released at an inopportune moment following World War II. Though the FBI had surveilled Chaplin and confirmed he was not a Communist, they sought to remove him due to his politics and what they deemed his "flamboyant sex life." HUAC avoided calling him to testify in order to maintain their narrative. Gossip columnist Hedda Hopper personally pursued a negative campaign against him, projecting her loathing of her ex-husband onto Chaplin. 1921

In this 2018 Word Balloon conversation, comedian, writer, and producer Dana Gould joins John Siuntres for a deep dive into his creative journey adapting Rod Serling's original Planet of the Apes screenplay into a graphic novel for BOOM! Studios. Gould discusses how Serling's early drafts differed from the final 1968 film — delving into the satire, social commentary, and Cold War paranoia that Serling originally intended.The interview also explores Gould's other creative outlets, including his acclaimed “Dana Gould Hour” podcast, where his sharp wit and fascination with old Hollywood, horror, and pop culture shine through. Rounding out the discussion, Gould talks about his work on IFC's Stan Against Evil — the offbeat supernatural comedy he created and starred in — and how it channels his lifelong love of classic horror and monster movies. It's a lively, funny, and insightful chat with one of the sharpest minds blending comedy, commentary, and the weird corners of genre storytelling.

Episode 96: Eddington This week on Philosophy in Film, the gang rides into the dust and disinformation of Ari Aster's 2025 neo-Western Eddington. Set during the upheaval of 2020, the film pits Joaquin Phoenix's stoic, conspiracy-prone sheriff Joe Cross against Pedro Pascal's pragmatic mayor Ted Garcia in a small New Mexico town splintered by mask mandates, social media warfare, and secrets. Craig sounds the warning in Producer's Notes (9:59), rallying the posse to get ready; Alain draws the map of conflict in the Beauclair Synopsis (20:57), threading the political grievance, personal betrayal, and escalating paranoia. Chris then steps into Philosopher's Corner (41:16), tuning into the film's narrative pulse. At The Round Table (54:36), the gang debates whether Eddington mirrors our fractured moment or indulges in fever dreams, before Reviews (1:28:46) and Mailbag (1:37:54) bring listener dispatches from the divide. As always, we tackle the philosophical and non-philosophical standoffs within, as every showdown leaves a mark.

Comedian and all-around solid dude Anthony Stiriti joins Randy on the Ready Set Blow podcast. The boys sit down for another raw, uninhibited and hilarious conversation about gambling, bad 90's fashion style, tattoos, religions sexual rules, the perfect dating app, east coast cities, the difficulty of landing dark humor jokes on stage, having to take a dump while on a date, playing “would you rather…”, and the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Continuing their episode cycle discussing films related to "Audience Interrogation", Emilio, Julian and Madeline strap on their masks, observe social distancing guidelines, and harken back to the recent past with 'Eddington', Ari Aster's darkly comedic Neo-Western and one of 2025's more polarizing and thought-provoking releases.  In true lockdown fashion, the cohosts are joined by virtual guest Mariquita Reese, a top-shelf cinema fangirl and cohost of Post Film Clarity, to dig into the film and how it made them feel.  The group shares their 2020 experiences and the aspects of that time the film captured, how 'Eddington' compares to other recent films that address Covid and quarantine, the performative nature of almost every character, the biggest (uncomfortable) laughs the film elicited, the unsettling fate of Michael, what to make of the film's violent third act, what other movies 'Eddington' reminds them of and why, and much more!Follow Mariquita on IG, Tik Tok and Letterboxd at keeta_babe - and check out Post Film Clarity, her podcast with cohost Lindsey Strickland, at postfilmclaritypodIf you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

Alas, we have neared the end of our exclusive "FEMALE" August season, and we've taken this chance to usher in this close with a special guest. Laura and Ryan know next to nothing about the work of John Waters, which is both abhorrent and indicative of our glaring ignorance. That's why we invited Josh, who basically said we should have invited someone else if we wanted to talk about John Waters. Either way, enjoy this deepish dive into FEMALE TROUBLE and the revelation we'll be uncovering far more of his work in the future!

Although “Jawbreaker” is a dark comedy that has inspired so many teen flicks since its release, Writer/Director Darren Stein originally intended it to be a horror film. Tune in to hear all about what inspired this 1999 cult classic, what it was like working with its all-star cast so early in their careers, and the reason behind that very homoerotic popsicle scene we all loved.

Zac and Jay sit down with Dave Manheim – creator of Dopey, the darkly hilarious and deeply moving podcast about “drugs, addiction, and dumb sh*t,” or as he now calls it, “the dark comedy of drug addiction.” What began as two friends swapping war stories has grown into a full-blown cultural force, with a diehard community, celebrity guests, and an archive of the funniest, most heartbreaking, and most brutally honest stories in the recovery world.Dave talks about launching Dopey just four months into sobriety with his late co-host Chris, the tragedy that reshaped the show, and why humor – especially the twisted kind – is a lifeline. He opens up about chasing guests like Marc Maron, Boy George, and Jason Biggs (and getting ghosted), his complicated feelings about being called “Dopey Dave,” and how working at Katz's Deli taught him more about recovery than any rehab ever did.They get into podcast beefs, the sad reality of grief that often shadows recovery, the great weed debate, and what happens when someone who never set out to “help people” accidentally does just that – over and over again. Dave's smart, incredibly earnest and very, very funny.If you've ever been told “once a junkie, always a junkie,” if you've experienced unexpected loss in recovery, or if you believe this addiction stuff is heavy enough and that humor is an essential ingredient in getting through it – please give this episode a watch or listen.Link to Dave's podcast: Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug AddictionConnect with Zachttps://www.instagram.com/zwclark/https://www.linkedin.com/in/zac-c-746b96254/https://www.tiktok.com/@zacwclarkhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/55697553https://twitter.com/zacwclarkIf you or anyone you know is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact Release:(914) 588-6564releaserecovery.com@releaserecovery

Hey Horror Fans!!!This week we are joined by David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano, the filmmakers (and real life couple) behind I Don't Understand You, a sharp and offbeat dark comedy about an American couple navigating the adoption process while on vacation in Italy. As tensions rise and misunderstandings multiply, the film explores what it means to stay connected when everything around you starts to fall apart...and turn murderous!!We talk with David and Brian about drawing from their own journey toward parenthood, how they approached the story's unique mix of humor and discomfort, and why they wanted to center a queer couple whose love isn't in question. We also get into the pitch perfect performances from Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells, the grounding warmth of Amanda Seyfried, and the joy of working with Italian legend Nunzia Schiano. Funny, tense, tender, violent and totally original, this is a conversation you wont want to miss about love under pressure, identity abroad, and the messy beauty of trying to be understood sooo....COME HANG OUT!!!Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage on all socialsSean: @hypocrite.ink on IG/TikTok, @hypocriteink on Twitter/XEnjoy this episode?
