Buck takes aim at the newly opened Obama Presidential Center. From its nearly $1 billion price tag to its towering design, Buck argues the project is less a presidential library and more a monument to the Obama brand. He breaks down the cost, the controversy, the architecture, and why he believes the center reflects the legacy of the Obama years.

The Barack Hussein Obama Presidential Library is now open to the public and it’s already being called the most hideous presidential edifice in American history. Some have likened the drab, gray, dystopian obelisk to a guard tower at a North Korean prison camp. Others have said ti bears a striking resemblance to a Death Star. It is also the most expensive presidential library in history. The original budget was $330 million but costs exploded to more than $850 million. And Fox News reports the final price tag could exceed $1 billion. But not everyone is all hope and change and yes we can. It turns out that a number of black contractors have not been paid. One plumbing company says they are owed nearly $4 million. The African American Contractors Association says they have never seen anything like this happen in the history of their organization. Are we really that surprised that Obama is not paying his bills? He stiffed black Americans during his 8 years in the White House – and he’s stiffing in them in the private sector too. By the way, if you plan on visiting Chicago, bring a valid form of identification. You’ll need that not to vote, but to gain access to the library.

In 1981, National Public Radio turned the biggest movie in the world into a thirteen-episode radio epic that went on to break the network's listening records. George Lucas sold the rights for a single dollar and handed over the original sound effects and John Williams' score, letting a full cast bring the galaxy to life in sound alone. Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels reprised Luke Skywalker and C-3PO in a sweeping retelling that expands well beyond the film — the original Star Wars as you've never heard it.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Marcia Lucas has passed away. She edited the original Star Wars and won an Oscar for it alongside Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew. She's the one who told George Lucas to let Obi-Wan die, cut the Death Star trench run out of 40,000 feet of footage, added the ticking clock for the Death Star firing on Yavin, and kept the kiss for luck between Luke and Leia. A New Hope doesn't work without her, and most people don't even know her name. In this video I want to talk about what she really gave us. Rest in peace, Marcia. Thank you for everything.

What if humanity's understanding of the cosmos is only scratching the surface of a much bigger reality? In this fascinating and consciousness-expanding episode, Chris O'Connor joins Michael Jaco to discuss hidden cosmic mysteries, Saturn's moon Mimas, expanding human awareness, extraterrestrial possibilities, and the deeper spiritual and energetic connections between humanity and the universe. Drawing from the themes explored in his book Man of Mimas, Chris shares perspectives on cosmic intelligence, multidimensional reality, advanced civilizations, and the growing realization that humanity may not be alone — nor isolated — within the greater fabric of existence. The conversation explores the strange fascination surrounding Mimas, one of Saturn's most mysterious moons, often compared visually to the “Death Star” because of its unusual appearance. Chris discusses why certain celestial objects continue capturing the attention of researchers, experiencers, and those studying ancient cosmic symbolism and hidden knowledge. The deeper this conversation goes, the more it becomes about humanity's awakening to a larger cosmic identity. Chris and Michael discuss consciousness evolution, synchronicity, spiritual awakening, energetic resonance, and why more people around the world are beginning to question the conventional explanations they were given about reality, history, and humanity's place in the universe. The episode also touches on the role of storytelling, symbolism, media, and disclosure in helping people expand their awareness beyond purely material explanations of existence. At its core, this conversation is about curiosity, expansion, and remembering that the universe may be far more alive, intelligent, and interconnected than most people have ever imagined. This is a discussion for anyone interested in cosmic mysteries, higher consciousness, hidden truths, extraterrestrial possibilities, Saturn symbolism, and the ongoing awakening happening across humanity right now.

We wrap up the our second (and final) episode on our favorite STAR WARS moments that live rent-free in our brains:   Why does Mace Windu flat-out rule?   Why is Darth Vader far more badass in ROGUE ONE?   Why is Luke at his best when he finally goes apeshit while fighting his dad?   All that and why the making of the Death Star trench run is just as fascinating as what's still visualized on-screen!     GUESTS: Aaron Harris (Star Wars Reactions Podcast), Cliff & A-aron, Delvin Cox, Geoff Arbuckle (Film Seizure), Charlie Hildebrand, Ryan McGann (Offtopic Podcast), Travis Crawford (TV's Travis), Sam Willing (The Outer Reels), Oreo Brewer, Tom Lindaman, Mike Ensing, Gil Palmer, James Bruno & Josh Hansen     VOICE-MAILS: Mike-EL, Dave (The Insanely Dangerous Retro Podshow), Lezlie Sawyer, Natalia McCarty, 0.7 Jarrod Alberich (Action Film Face-Off Podcast), Bart Plaster (TV Shows We Love) & Cam Ray SemiProductions     SONGS: "Dance of the Fates (Extended Clean)" by Auralnauts Main Theme from Star Wars/Leia's Nightmare" by Joel McNeely (Shadows of the Empire OST) Bounty Hunter Videogame OST by Jeremy Soule "Star Wars Gangsta Rap" by Jason Brannon & Chris Crawford "Because I'm Jedi" by The Great Luke Ski "Angry Nerds" by Insane Ian & The Great Luke Ski

The Star Wars 50th Anniversary celebration continues on The Commentary Boothas Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey dive headfirst into one of the franchise's most divisive chapters, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.Set 10 years after The Phantom Menace, the galaxy is on the brink of civil war. Anakin Skywalker is no longer the bright-eyed child destined for greatness, he's reckless, emotional, and already showing signs of the darkness to come. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan Kenobi uncovers a mysterious clone army, Count Dooku begins pulling strings behind the scenes, and Padmé Amidala somehow ends up trapped in one of cinema's most awkward romances.Jamie and Corrina hold nothing back as they dig into why Attack of the Clones is widely considered the low point of the Skywalker Saga — from the notoriously painful script (locked in just three days before cameras rolled), to the all-CGI arena battle that left its own cast looking confused, to Anakin's legendary sand monologue that somehow became one of Star Wars' most iconic, even if unintentionally hilarious, moments.But it's not all criticism. The duo also celebrate what actually works: the subtle visual storytelling genius of clone troopers always moving right-to-left on screen, the sheer joy of Samuel L. Jackson demanding a purple lightsaber and getting it, Christopher Lee's undeniable gravitas as Count Dooku, the first glimpse of the Death Star blueprints, and a sly Jango Fett head-bang Easter egg that Disney has since made even better.Highlights Breakdown: - Why Attack of the Clones remains the most controversial Star Wars prequel - Breaking down the awkward Anakin and Padmé romance - The political themes and rise of Palpatine's power - Samuel L. Jackson demanding a purple lightsaber - The evolution of CGI and why parts of the film haven't aged well - Yoda's first lightsaber battle and “flippy-do” combat - Behind-the-scenes trivia about the rushed screenplay and production - Whether you're a die-hard Star Wars fan, a casual viewer revisiting the prequels, or someone who just needs to hear two people validate your feelings about this film — this is the episode for you.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

The two-part compilation of STAR WARS related humor concludes here:   Why is Wilford Brimley part of the universe?   Should the fandom had been more oversaturated back in the '80s?   Did Yoda mate with Yaddle?   Why was TK-421 actually stunned on the Death Star?   How is R2-D2 like Kenny on South Park?   How is this whole franchise borderline-taboo at this point?   Is Mace Windu actually still alive?   And is Obi-Wan homeless most of the time?         OPENING CLIP: "Mark Hamill Wants To See An R-Rated STAR WARS" (Funny Interview)     SONGS USED: "Ewok Yub Nub Theme Song" by John Williams "Star Wars Gangsta Rap 2" by Jason Brannon       GUESTS: Geoff Arbuckle (Film Seizure), Lezlie Sawyer, Travis Crawford, Will Styer, Night Taylor, Jon Mark, Ryan McGann, Roger Priebe, Matthew Soto, Sam Willing (The Outer Reels), Joseph Burke, Delvin Cox, Cliff & A-aron, Oreo Brewer, Jarrod Alberich (Action Film Face-Off) & Aaron Harris (Star Wars Reactions Podcast) 

We're back! After a long break, SF Radio returns to take us into a galaxy far, far away. With THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU, Star Wars steps back onto the big screen with a small, intimate film about fathers and sons. But is that what fans will be looking for in a world of lightsabers and Death Stars? This week, Dave Voight ( @intheseats7388 ) and Nick Van Dinther ( @bitesizebreakdown ) join Steve to talk about finding fathers and managing fan expectations. PLUS, they take a look at the upcoming summer box office to see what they're excited (and not-so-excited) about seeing in theatres!THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU is available exclusively in theatres now.

Kash Patel continues living like a ten-year-old who found a winning lottery ticket. Trump's supporters debate the strict meaning of “worship” with regards to the golden statue of him they built to take pilgrimages to. Then, we get into Mr. Wonderful's planet-eating Death Star of a data center project in Utah, the fight against it, and his ability to sniff out all the Chinese A.I. saboteurs who've, uh, lived in Box Elder County, Utah, their whole lives.This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

STRAP IN!!!!! Star Wars is BACK!!!!!!! ............... But a what Cost $$$$$$$$$$ On the latest episode of Fandom Awakens Radio, your hosts David Senden and Kyle Wagner reaction to the latest trailer for the Mandalorian & Grogu,  well *sigh* here we are a meer 7 days from the Mandalorian & Grogu, hype levels should be OVER the DEATH STAR this close to the release of a Star Wars movie Thus far initial reactions from early reviews out there have ranged from “Mandalorian and Grogu is a blast on the big screen. It captures everything that makes Star Wars special. Heart, adventure, and scale, while telling a story that actually feels worthy of theaters. This is Star Wars at its best.”   To:   “One of the weakest ‘Star Wars' movies. An emotionless, predictable experience that doesn't push Din Djarin anywhere interesting. Dull, unexciting fight scenes; just CGI monsters. Action figures mashed together. A long, colorless made-for-TV movie.”   HA certainly sounds like yet another Solo: A Star Wars Story 2018 split LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL that went well last time     BOTH yours truly and co-host Kyle Wagner are seeing in Thursday, and we will have on the REGULAR flagship Fandom Awakens Radio pod a FULL review in the coming weeks ...............   Like our SHOW sign off says which is very Mando influenced obviously You can like Star Wars warm, you can like Star Wars cold, you can like Star Wars Mustafarian HOT but at the end of the day ............ STAR WARS is the Way   a BRAND NEW episode of Fandom Awakens Radio starts RIGHT NOW !!!!!!!!!

In this episode of The NIDS View, Jim and Curtis celebrate May 4th and Star Wars Day by exploring the strategic parallels between Star Wars and real‑world debates over deterrence, space warfare, and global security. From the Death Star as a symbol of coercive deterrence to Cold War–era missile defense and the militarization of space, the conversation unpacks how science fiction both reflects—and shapes—strategic thinking. The discussion traces the historical roots of space and missile defense in the 1970s, examines how popular culture influences military imagination and technology, and draws connections between the Star Wars universe and today's geopolitical competition. Along the way, the episode highlights enduring questions of vulnerability, survivability, and signaling in deterrence strategy—and why space remains both a contested domain and a potential arena for cooperation. https://thinkdeterrence.com/ Like and follow us –The NIDS View: https://media.rss.com/nuclearview/feed.xmlLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thinkdeterrence X.com: https://x.com/thinkdeterrence YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyGa4dcPqONWzjmbuZMOBHQ Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/NIDSthinkdeterrence Global Security Review: https://globalsecurityreview.comOur Free Events: https://thinkdeterrence.com/events/

Return of the Jedi is a haunted movie. It is haunted most obviously by the ghosts of the past films: droids walking across desert wastes, fateful holograms delivered in desperation, deflector shield substations, robotic hands, and a Death Star hanging above the world.  But it is also haunted by the future of the franchise: further reliance on ambitious CGI, a subtle sanding down in humor and character, dozens of little creatures whose names are never said but whose identity marketing has taught you before you ever see the text start rolling across the screen. Star Wars, as we know it, has arrived.

Marvel's new five-issue Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge -- Echoes of the Empire debuts this week, with a story that spans the Saga timeline yet zeroes in on events between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as Luke, Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2 travel to Black Spire on Batuu. Written by Ethan Sacks, who's an old hand at plotting real-world aligned stories such as these (Galaxy's Edge, Halcyon Legacy), illustrated by Jethro Morales and Roi Mercado, colored by Rachelle Rosenberg and lettered by VC's Clayton Cowles, the first issue starts strong, hitting the right beats with a crafted blend of nostalgia for the Original Trilogy while proliferating The High Republic and Sequel Trilogy, too. Comics Discussed This Week:Galaxy's Edge -- Echoes of the Empire #1 (of 5)Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:

On this episode of Star Warsologies, we talk cybersecurity (or lack thereof) in Star Wars with expert Malia Mason. There's a lot of plot points around stolen data in Star Wars - Rebel Base locations, Death Star plans, undercover ISB agents just to name a few. Malia talks about her work and whether she would work for the good guys or end up recruited by the Imperials. Of course we cover R2-D2's ability to plug into a random port on the Death Star and download information. Could that be because he was once Anakin Skywalker's droid and has outdated permissions? And what does our expert think of data centers like on Scarif? Would she have cleared Galen Erso to work on something as critical to the Empire as the Death Star? We also talk about the meta level, as Star Wars uses deep fakes to de-age actors for prequels and uses artificial intelligence to bring us Darth Vader's voice. Note: We recorded this conversation on February 27, 2026 - the day before the US began attacks on Iran, so our discussion of cyberwarfare does not include breaking news. Show Notes: If you haven't already, listen to our previous episode about wearable technology, which we discuss in terms of cybersecurity of all that personal medical data. Check out this article about cybersecurity lessons in Star Wars! And it's never a bad time to rewatch Saturday Night Live's Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base sketch, and the follow up sketch.

The strongarming of Houston by Governor Greg Abbott, who is threatening to withdraw $110 million in first responder funding over the city's policy limiting the Houston Police Department's interactions with ICE, is the latest example of state-level politics interfering with the right of Texas cities to run themselves as they see fit. With Abbott running the state government like a Death Star, maybe he shouldn't be surprised to see Texas' major cities slipping through his fingers.Thanks for listening!

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is doing something rare for a franchise show: it's willing to put its own hero institution genuinely on trial — and Matthew sits down with Matt Carroll, co-host of the Star Trek Universe Podcast and founder of the Stranded Panda Podcast Network, to dig into all ten episodes with full spoilers in hand.At the center of the season is a storyline connecting Captain Ake, Anisha Mir, and her son Caleb; a morally tangled triangle of guilt, projection, and hard accountability that both hosts find unexpectedly moving. They debate how the show handles its courtroom climax, where the villain Noose Braca's grievances against the Federation turn out to rest on factually false memories. The hosts see a deliberate political metaphor but wish the Federation had been made to answer for more. They also get into the Klingon cadet who wants to be a nurse, the war college subplot as Star Trek's latest engagement with its own military identity, and a three-stakes framework for evaluating action sequences that lights up a new way of thinking about everything from the Daredevil hallway fight to Luke's Death Star shot.The conversation doesn't stay in the story, because the story of what's happening to this show turns out to be just as urgent. Both hosts make the case that Starfleet Academy's pre-emptive cancellation before Season 2 even airs looks a lot less like a business decision and a lot more like a targeted act of political interference — and that watching the show is itself a small form of pushback.Mentioned in This EpisodeStar Trek Content DiscussedStar Trek: Deep Space Nine — “In the Pale Moonlight”Star Trek: PicardThe Orville (Season 4 reportedly in production for a late 2026/2027 release)Other Shows & Films ReferencedDaredevil (Netflix) — hallway fight scene, Season 1Buffy the Vampire SlayerLuke CageIf Starfleet Academy has been sitting in your queue, this is the episode that'll send you straight to it — or send you back for a rewatch with sharper eyes.About Matt CarrollMatt Carroll is the co-host of the Star Trek Universe Podcast and the founder of the Stranded Panda Podcast Network, home to the Marvel Cinematic Universe Podcast, Multiverse News, and more.

Spotify put the original episode in jail for showing the clips from Star Wars: A New Hope. So unfortunately, this episode has no clips--however, if you'd like to engage in the full episode, visit https://youtu.be/nRP8201-qgk to view the episode in its entirety on the YouTube channel.Every man arrives at the moment where he has to answer the question: Am I really who I think I am?Luke Skywalker faces that moment 30,000 feet above the Death Star — guidance computer off, Obi-Wan's voice in his head, Vader on his tail. No proof. Just faith.Author, documentary filmmaker, and men's coach Eric Rogell joins Paul to break down Star Wars: A New Hope through the lens of origin stories, fear vs. courage, and what it actually takes for a lion raised by lambs to become who he's meant to be. Eric's story — raised by a single mom, kept safe from everything, angry about it for years — mirrors Luke's more than he realized. And probably yours too.In this episode: why stories are the software of the soul, the difference between a culture of fear and a culture of courage, why the villain is just the hero of the other side, and the moment Luke stopped being a farm boy and became who he was always meant to be.Find Eric's book Lions Raised as Lambs at lionsraisedaslambs.com.

Do NOT confuse this title for another Caravan of Courage on the Ewok moon Before he was the martyr of Rogue One, Diego Luna was a desperate thief who accidentally lit the spark of the Rebellion in the 2022 series Andor. Is he better off making Death Star parts in prison with Andy Serkis, or facing the consequences of the Imperial robbery he pulled for chameleon Stellan Skarsgård? And can Senator Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly) keep footing the bill while Forest Whitaker, Denise Gough, and Kyle Soller follow the money? Join rebels Justin, Arnie, and Stuart for the darker side of Star Wars right now!

We return with the back half of a little movie called Star Wars. We can finally talk about some of the most foundational moments in the franchise. The very first lightsaber duel--and its relationship to a little tv show called Obi-Wan Kenobi. The series' three protagonists finally sharing screen time. The Death Star trench run and its relationship to the Force and Technology. But we also get to talk about some of the stuff that gets lost along the way. Like about just how funny Star Wars has always been. How the Empire is already a bit of a send-up of bureaucrat sci-fi baddies. And how whether Lucas knew the particularities of their history or not, Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi show up with enough ambiguity and depth to carry years and years of storytelling to come.

What makes a great base of operations?In this episode of Nerd of Godcast, we explore some of the most iconic fictional headquarters in pop culture. From Castle Grayskull, the Batcave, and the Death Star to Hogwarts and other legendary locations, we talk about the bases that define heroes, villains, and epic stories across movies, comics, TV, and video games.As Nerd of Godcast relocates our own recording headquarters, we reflect on what it means when the location changes but the mission stays the same. We also connect this idea to faith, discussing how believers are called to adapt to new environments while staying focused on God's purpose.Plus, we're officially on the road to MegaCon Orlando as we prepare for our outreach to the nerd community at one of the biggest fan conventions in the country.If you love nerd culture, fandom discussions, and faith, this episode is for you.Topics include:Iconic fictional bases of operationsThe Batcave, Castle Grayskull, Hogwarts, and moreWhy heroes need a headquartersStaying on mission when your location changesOur journey to MegaCon Orlando

The human body has so many superfluous bits and is lacking cool things like extra knees and we here at Plumbing the Death Star are the perfect trio to come up with brilliant and very smart ideas to change things up. Let's take a hard look at our beautiful bodies and just go buck wild with it. Swapping genitals? A little guy that does all our poops for us? A big eye on the top of our head on constant watch for big birds? All this AND Jackson has a weak little mouth on another exceptional episode of what is fundamentally a pop culture podcast.Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+ Hosted on Acast.

The anticipation for what was to be the final Star Wars film, Revenge/Return of the Jedi was at an absolute boiling point in 1983. What was to become of Han Solo? Would Luke Skywalker defeat Darth Vader and turn from the dark side? Will Princess Leia kill a giant peverted slug in a gold bikini? These questions and more were wrapped up at the end of the original trilogy which brings the Emperor of the Galaxy to the forefront of story now with a second and even bigger Death Star.
