Podcasts about Dead man

In this episode, we unravel the shocking true story of Tony Kiritsis and the 1977 hostage crisis that became known as the "Dead Man's Wire" case. Armed with a sawed-off shotgun connected to a homemade dead man's wire, Kiritsis held mortgage executive Richard Hall hostage for more than 60 hours, turning a personal grievance into one of the most bizarre standoffs in American history. We examine the events that led to the kidnapping, the intense negotiations that played out live on television, and the legal battle that followed. We also compare how the story has been portrayed in the film Dead Man's Wire and documentary Dead Man's Line, exploring what the adaptation gets right, what they change, and how Hollywood interpreted one of America's strangest true crime cases.

This beach is a crime scene… but thanks to Marc Davis, we have enough evidence to solve the crime. On this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we slide down into the ghostly grotto to explore Dead Man's Cove and Hurricane scenes in depth. Along the way, we take the microscope to the history of this iconic scene to explain what actually happened to the pirates, identify some sea critters and plant life, and explore the creative process that brought us to the final version using rare Imagineering documents, concept art, and never-used (but recorded) audio tracks. Kate checked out Marc Davis's 1951 library books to identify a source of inspiration, Kirk takes us on a journey through shipwrecks and crabs, and we both have some questions about what ACTUALLY happened to the real human remains from 1967 after they left the attraction… including some evidence that a story commonly told may not be entirely true. Join us LIVE on YouTube every week!

Victoria Taft delivers a masterclass in geopolitical realities and media manipulation. We break down Donald Trump's jaw-dropping "Dead Man's Switch" order to completely flatten Iran if their state-sponsored plots successfully target him, arriving right on the second anniversary of the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt. We also share the staggering story of independent journalist Delicia Ballinger, who was summarily fired from a Memphis news publication for simply posting a video thanking Trump for sending the National Guard to quiet the violent gunshots in her neighborhood. Plus, we feature two world-class interviews: former UK Ambassador Edmond Fitton-Brown delivers an emergency Iran SITREP on autonomous drone boats and the collapsed Gulf ceasefire, and former federal prosecutor John O'Connor drops by to expose how the CIA and the Washington Post actively manufactured the Watergate scandal to take down Richard Nixon.

That despite this being one of the smallest tallies of titles that Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have ever covered. (Cause we don't like to repeat ourselves.)

June has come and gone and it's time to look back at some of the comics we read with: Jay & Silent Bob: Jays Of Future Past #1, The Deadman #1 and Fantastic Four #12. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jace and Rocky break down all 11 DC releases for the week of July 1, 2026. Absolute Green Lantern #16 brings the Absolute Lantern spectrum closer together as Hal Jordan uses violet light to protect the group from the Black Star of Sinestro, Jo Mullein weaponizes the people of Evergreen inside the Green Lantern construct, and Jessica Cruz's connection to Mogo threatens to throw the fight sideways. Poison Ivy #46 moves the pieces into place for Bad Seeds without Pamela appearing in the issue, as Janet from HR explains why Harley may be the only person who can reach Ivy and why Pamela's love for Harley makes her feel vulnerable. Batman #11 brings Lady Ojo back into the story as Batman clashes with her, the Minotaur's hold on Gotham's criminal money comes back into focus, Dr. Zeller deals with the fallout of Bruce's almost-date, and Verity Pennyworth makes her first appearance at Wayne Manor. Adventures of Superman: Book of El #10 continues Philip Kennedy Johnson's House of El story as Superman battles for his adoptive children, the fight on Tamarian escalates, and Kryl-Ux proves how powerful he has become by taking on a Sun-Eater. Batgirl #21 brings Cassandra Cain back to Gotham as Doctor Forget-Me-Not forces her to confront memories of a young girl named Victoria who may have been killed by Cassandra when she was younger, while the issue continues building Batgirl's own supporting cast. 100 Bullets: The U.S. of Anger #1 returns to Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's world in black and white, following Lono through a grim, angry story involving podcasters, gang violence, police violence and the fractured state of America. Deadman #2 improves on the first issue by bringing in Plastic Man, showing Deadman fail to take over Batman because of Bruce's psychological defenses, and expanding the villain's interference with souls transitioning into the afterlife. Supergirl: Survive #2 turns Kara and baby Kal-El's escape into a galaxy-hopping Elseworlds adventure as Lobo's gang hunts the last Kryptonians, the Lantern Corps appears across the emotional spectrum, and Kara receives a hope lantern ring after Saint Walker's death. Absolute Martian Manhunter #12 closes the series by focusing on John Jones' relationship with his son Tyler, how his inability to understand Tyler helped fracture his family, and how the Martian Manhunter experience lets him see others differently as he chooses a second chance with his wife and child. JSA #21 explores the Spectre's origin and has the spirit of vengeance jump between different JSA hosts, including Obsidian, Jade and Wildcat, while Metron suggests the mystery depends not only on the Spectre's beginning but also on Jim Corrigan's origin. Batman / Green Arrow / The Question: Arcadia #4 continues Gabriel Hardman's political mystery as Batman, Green Arrow and the Question push deeper into the conspiracy around Arcadia, with the book still functioning more as a dense ideological thriller than a traditional superhero team-up. They also give a rundown of this week's collected editions, reprints and facsimile releases. As always, all books are ranked from top to bottom and each host gives a Book of the Week pick.

We also discuss creativity as a form of belief, and the challenges of telling a complete story in one sitting.

Dave: Iron Man #7 (1:25 Dave Rapoza Variant) Alex: The Deadman #2 (Alex Eckman-Lawn variant) & The Mortal Thor #12 (Alex Ross) Interview: Mark Russell - The Forgotten Divine Ahoy Kickstarter Link.  The Forgotten Divine digs into why people are drawn to cults and belief systems. What was the starting point for you, and what did you want to understand or say about that impulse? Rodney feels like a very grounded, human entry point into a story that quickly spirals into something much bigger. How did you approach building him so readers stay with him even as things get more extreme? There's a real balance here between empathy and critique. You can understand why these characters believe what they do, even as things go off the rails. How do you walk that line without judging them or letting them off the hook? The preview pages have some striking bits of philosophy, like “the secret to happiness is low expectations.” How do those ideas emerge for you, and are they things you believe or more reflections of the characters' mindset? The idea that “where you are is who you are” feels especially loaded, almost like a commentary on class, fate, and identity. Was that always baked into the concept, or did it grow as you developed the story? When we glimpse the alien world, it feels almost overwhelming, with that massive eye and the intense color palette. What were your conversations like with Russ Braun in shaping how that world should feel versus how the “real” world reads? You've done a lot of satire, but this feels like it leans harder into psychological and emotional territory. Did this project push you in new directions as a writer? AHOY has built a reputation on smart, risk-taking books, and this is their first Kickstarter. How does that format change how you think about the book, if at all? The story seems to ask whether there's something real behind the visions or if belief itself is the point. How important was it to keep that tension alive rather than give clear answers? Fun one to close: If you started having Rodney's dreams tonight, what's the first sign you'd think, “Okay, I might actually be starting a cult”?

He was dead for 25 minutes. No heartbeat, no oxygen, doctors already asking his wife to sign organ donor papers. When he came back, he had one thing to say — and it wasn't about heaven's gates. It was about ours. What does a dead man see that the living can't? Lance Wallnau tells the full story of what one man witnessed while clinically dead — a body of water, islands rising up, and people occupying them with an anointing tied to their calling, not their title. Lance believes what he saw was the Seven Mountains. And he believes it's a blueprint for right now. In this episode: * The complete resurrection account — dead 25+ minutes, brought back by a prophetic declaration in a hospital room * The vision a dead man saw in Paradise: what the seven islands represent and why it matters for this generation * Why the people in the vision weren't primarily preachers — and what that means for you * The Nehemiah parallel: rebuilding gates and walls as a spiritual and cultural strategy * Why "occupy till I come" is more than a verse — it's a mission with a deadline * The Melchizedek priesthood: why the kingly and priestly anointings are merging in this season * How to find your mountain, your gate, and your assignment in your own city You don't die when you get old.

On this episode of Bad Dads Film Review, the team reviews This Is England (2006), Shane Meadows' raw, semi-autobiographical coming-of-age drama starring Thomas Turgoose, Stephen Graham, Vicky McClure, Joe Gilgun, Andrew Shim, Rosamund Hanson, and Jack O'Connell.In this episodeRecording outside the man cave in brutal heat, with England playing later and possible background birdsReturning to Shane Meadows after the dads' love for Dead Man's ShoesMeadows writing from lived experience and Shaun Field as a loose version of the young Shane MeadowsThe film's 1983 setting: Falklands aftermath, Thatcher-era mood, working-class Midlands anonymity, and immaculate period detailShaun's grief over his father's death and the brutal school bullying around his clothesThe infamous Mini joke, the playground fight, and Reegs' detour into the real-world Mini passenger recordWoody's gang as surrogate family: underpass tea, derelict-house “hunting”, haircuts, boots, braces, and the gifted Ben ShermanSkinhead culture before the racist takeover: ska, soul, punk, clothes, belonging, and styleSmell, the shed snog, New Romantic fashion, and the very awkward age-gap discussionCombo's entrance from prison and the immediate tonal shift from funny coming-of-age story to something threateningStephen Graham's performance as Combo: vulnerable, pathetic, charismatic, manipulative, racist, and terrifyingCombo gaslighting Woody, exploiting Shaun's Falklands grief, and splitting the gangThe National Front meeting: respectable presentation, simple blame politics, Frank Harper's speaker, and Gadget's “NASHNIL” spellingShaun's corruption under Combo: racist intimidation, the corner-shop robbery, and the stolen language of national prideLol rejecting Combo and the emotional humiliation that turns outward into violenceMilky and Combo bonding over music and roots before Combo's jealousy eruptsThe brutal beating of Milky, Shaun being forced to watch, and Combo's immediate collapse into remorseShaun throwing the St George's flag into the sea as a rejection of the racist version of EnglandThe continuing relevance of the film's politics from 1983 to 2006 to nowStrong recommendations for the follow-up series: This Is England '86, '88, and '90Bad Dads consensusSidey: Strong recommend — sees it as at least a 9/10 and reads the final flag moment as Shaun rejecting the National Front's corrupted version of England.Pete: Strong recommend — praises the film's lived-in authenticity, performances, and the follow-up series; still holds Dead Man's Shoes as a 10/10 comparison point.Reegs: Strongly positive — highlights the bleakness, the current relevance of the racist rhetoric, and Stephen Graham's frighteningly layered work.Cris: Engaged with the period detail, humour, and discomfort of the film's tonal shift, particularly once Combo arrives.Final takeThis Is England begins as a warm, funny, scruffy story about a lonely boy finding friends, then slowly reveals how easily grief and poverty can be weaponised by people offering simple enemies and ugly certainty. It is beautifully observed, brilliantly acted, deeply uncomfortable, and still horribly relevant.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Clear History (2013) Director: Greg Mottola Cast: Larry David, Michael Keaton, Bill Hader, Jon HammWhat happens when you take a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, forget to trim the fat, and stretch it into a feature film? You get Clear History — and honestly? It's still kind of great, even if it refuses to be anything other than exactly what it is.This week John and Sean dive deep into this 2013 HBO gem, requested by Patreon member Greg (host of You Can Eat That Crust and Pizza Bones), where Larry David plays a man who gives up a billion-dollar stake in an electric car company over a name, disappears to Martha's Vineyard, and plots revenge against the guy who got rich off his stupidity. You know — totally relatable stuff.In this episode, we discuss:Larry David Playing Larry David (Again) — The guys break down why this movie is essentially an uncut Curb episode with a different character name slapped on it. Is that a bad thing? Is that a great thing? The answer is: yes, and also both.They Didn't Trim the Fat — A deep dive into what separates a tight 40-minute Curb episode from a 100-minute movie that wanders into dead spots. Spoiler: it's editing discipline, and this movie didn't have enough of it.Joe Stumpo Steals the Whole Damn Movie — Michael Keaton shows up playing the town drunk on Martha's Vineyard and absolutely runs off with every scene he's in. Sean makes the case that Keaton is the unsung MVP of this entire production, and it's hard to argue with him."I Know There Aren't Any Women That Have It" — The guys land on the single funniest line in the movie, a throwaway bit about old bald guy fetishes and prison demographics that somehow perfectly encapsulates everything Larry David is as a comedian.We Also Talked About:WWE Legends: Legion of Doom (Amazon) (Biography Special) — Sean watched the documentary on Hawk and Animal, and it goes places. Specifically: a deeply emotional story about a penlight on a fishing boat that Nikita Koloff somehow turned into a religious experience. You have to hear it to believe it.The Boys (Amazon) (Season Finale) — Sean finished the series finale and loved it. No spoilers, but he makes a pointed observation about a show that commentates on superhero movie culture while simultaneously spinning off into... more superhero content.Faces of Death (Amazon) (2026 Remake) — A surprisingly solid new take on the concept, reframed around a content moderator on a fake social media platform stumbling onto recreated snuff-style videos. Sean gives it half a hot dog and means it as a compliment.Magnum Opus (Ebay) (Youtube) (The Movie) — Directed by friend of the show Addison Bennick (Psycho Ape I & II), this DIY Jackass-style movie is a 20-year labor of love and John genuinely digs it. Available through Addison's eBay store — physically, like a lunatic, the way movies should be sold.Six Days to Air (Youtube)— The South Park documentary. John finally watched it. Trey Parker and Matt Stone spend most of the six days doing absolutely nothing, and it's riveting.Dead Man on Campus (Amazon) (1998) — Mark-Paul Gosselaar in a movie about two college kids trying to get their suicidal roommate to actually do it so they can pass their classes. Even by 1998 standards, John was a little stunned this got a theatrical release. No Jeremy Piven, though, so it edges out PCU.Some of the above links are affiliate links — if you purchase through them we get a small kickback, and it's the best way to support the show.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week.

When the luxury liner SS Morro Castle erupted in flames off the New Jersey coast in 1934, it left behind 137 dead, a captain's corpse that vanished before it could be examined, and a heroic radio operator whose criminal past suggested he may have started the fire himself. | #WDRadio June 14, 2026==========HOUR ONE: Jeannie Saffin already had a tough life, being born with a birth defect that stunted her mental growth, leaving her with the mind of a child, never getting married and having kids, never dating… but that all pales in comparison to how she died: bursting into flames for no apparent reason. Was Jeannie Saffin the victim of spontaneous human combustion? (The Spontaneous Combustion of Jeannie Saffin) *** Sometimes it's easy to get a girl to go out with you – just be polite and ask. Some men resort to cheesy pickup lines thinking it will help their chances. But one man chose to call upon a woman in a very unusual way… by purchasing a gravestone. (Pitching Woo With a Tombstone) *** If a man demands his girlfriend give up the baby they conceived, otherwise he would no longer be with the woman – what is that newborn's mother to do? Sadly, Emily Dunn made the wrong decision – with tragic results. (The Durbin Baby Murder) *** The transplanting of an organ is almost a routine procedure now in the 21st century – even doing a transplant of an arm or a leg isn't uncommon. But when you talk about transplanting a living head onto a dead body – that's when things get tricky. But Robert White thought it could be done – and even tried doing it. (The Man Who Wanted To Do a Head Transplant) *** Imagine getting onto a plane and once in the air finding out that the pilot wasn't qualified to fly that kind of plane – and that he was only there because the original pilot wasn't available due to being dead. That's what happened in 1934 on the boat, the SS Morro Castle. And it was the beginning of tragedy after tragedy. (Mystery, Mismanagement, and Mayhem on the SS Morro Castle)==========HOUR TWO: In June of 2009 a man calling himself Peter Bergmann checked in to a hotel in Sligo Town. Five days later his body was found on Rosses Point Beach. But Peter Bergmann was not Peter Bergmann – so who was he? (The Peter Bergmann Mystery) *** Sharing stories from people who are frightened by a bump in the night or a strange shadow on the wall in their bedroom is one thing, but when you get professional ghost hunters telling of the scariest experiences they've had, you know it has to be some freaky stuff. (Scariest Experiences of Ghost Hunters) ==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: More of the scariest experiences of ghost hunters! *** I'll tell you about that time when a dam failed – and because of it, people were legally allowed to marry the dead. And still do to this day. (That Time A Failed Dam Led to Marrying Corpses) *** Personal experiences of those who have stayed at the Wolf Creek Inn, plus some hard evidence, seems to indicate that spirits who haunt the place are not only benign in nature, but even protect the guests and owners from other malevolent spirits which roam there as well.

Replacement captain William Warms steered into gale-force winds and waited 38 minutes to send a distress call, paint-gummed lifeboats refused to lower, untrained passengers broke their necks jumping in faulty life jackets, and at least 137 of the 549 aboard died before the charred hulk ran aground at Asbury Park, New Jersey, where souvenir stands sprang up around the wreck. Suspicion later fell on chief radio operator George White Rogers, the disaster's celebrated hero, whose hidden history of arson convictions, an aquarium-heater bomb built to maim a police lieutenant asking too many questions, and a double murder ended with his sudden death in Trenton State Prison — and the disappearance of his prison records.From there the episode lightens briefly with a pair of newspaper accounts of courtship by gravestone: an 1896 story from the Cincinnati Enquirer about a widower who finally bought a $50 monument for his wife of five years past — not out of grief, but to impress a wealthy widow who had called him too cheap to mark the grave — and a 1924 item from the Kansas City Star about a Kansas woman who married a widower precisely because he kept his first wife's grave so well.Next comes Dr. Robert J. White, the Cleveland neurosurgeon who watched the first successful human kidney transplant in Boston in 1954 and spent the rest of his life pursuing something far stranger: transplanting a living human head onto a donor body. In March 1970 he performed the operation on monkeys, moving one animal's head onto another's decapitated body in an 18-hour surgery; the hybrid lived nine days. White, a devout Catholic who sparred publicly with journalist Oriana Fallaci and animal rights activist Ingrid Newkirk, came close to attempting the procedure on a quadriplegic human volunteer through Russia's medical system before he died in 2010, leaving behind questions about consciousness, identity, and death that medicine has yet to answer.The hour then turns to Jeannie Saffin, a 61-year-old London woman with the mental capacity of a child who, on September 15, 1982, burst into flames while sitting calmly at her father's kitchen table in Edmonton with her hands in her lap. Her father Jack and brother-in-law Don Carroll doused the fire, but Jeannie — burned to the subcutaneous fat on her face, hands, and abdomen — never screamed, slipped into a coma, and died eight days later. The chair she sat in was unmarked, the nearest flame was a shielded pilot light five feet away, and a police constable concluded it was spontaneous human combustion, a verdict the coroner rejected. Skeptic Joe Nickell's pipe-ember theory accounts for some details, but not how a human body ignited so completely in under two minutes while burning nothing around it.Then the mystery of Peter Bergmann: the tall, gray-haired man with an Austrian accent who arrived in Sligo, Ireland by bus on June 12, 2009, checked into the Sligo City Hotel under a false name and a fabricated Vienna address, and over three days left the hotel thirteen times carrying a full purple plastic bag — returning empty-handed each time, never once caught by CCTV disposing of anything. He bought ten international stamps, cut the labels from his clothes, folded them neatly on a rock at Rosses Point Beach, and was found dead at the water's edge the next morning near Dead Man's Point. The autopsy revealed terminal prostate cancer he could not have been unaware of, yet he died of cardiac arrest, not dr

Ep. 409: Chris LeMaire on Bleak Week + John Wilson on Beak Week 2026 Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The 2026 edition of Bleak Week marks the fifth year of the acclaimed series at the American Cinematheque, which now also takes place in other theaters across the nation and the globe. Happily I was able to talk to Chris Lemaire, director of programming at the American Cinematheque in Los Angeles and co-founder of Bleak Week, about a few fantastic selections in the ongoing series, including tribute programs for guests Isabelle Huppert and Warwick Thornton, rarities like Letters from a Dead Man and Eureka, and restorations such as Buster and Billie. On the second half of the episode, I was lucky to catch filmmaker John Wilson, co-founder of the Low Cinema in Ridgewood, in the midst of the theater's delightful Beak Week program. Wilson talks about a personal favorite from the bird-centric lineup, a special recent surprise guest, a program of pigeon shorts, and some infrequently screened titles in the lineup.
