Superman (2025) Look, up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it another confused entry into the DC Extended Universe pantheon of super hero films?! No!!! This is something else entirely! James Gunn (Peacemaker, Guardians of the Galaxy) takes on the D.C. Universe with Superman and is clearly building something new and different… but crucially; is it any good? It's made a butt-tonne of cash, and out-scored the Snyder-verse it is taking over from, but does it have a beating heart? There's some division in the ranks over this one, with everyone having a very different approach to this film that is not just rebooting a universe, but attempting to wash away some of the bad vibes of 12 years of questionable decisions. The whole team is in for this with Dion and Jill in our legion of Doom and Quinny and Peta suiting up as the Justice Gang. You will believe a podcast can fly!!! Synopsis When Superman gets drawn into conflicts at home and abroad, his actions are questioned, giving tech billionaire Lex Luthor the opportunity to get the Man of Steel out of the way for good. Will intrepid reporter Lois Lane and Superman's four-legged companion, Krypto, be able to help him before it's too late? https://youtu.be/4x2C9DIB9Fo A huge shout-out to the beautiful, punk as heck, loveable super crew (and their little dog too) who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST.

Send us a textHave you ever been tempted to "get back" at an ex who wronged you? Before you plot that revenge, this brutally honest conversation might change your mind. We're diving deep into the psychology of revenge, the emptiness of retaliation, and why leveling up your own life is the only truly satisfying response to heartbreak.Through raw, unfiltered dialogue, we explore why revenge is ultimately a childish pursuit that leaves you stuck in the past rather than moving toward your future. When you're focused on getting even, you're still giving that person power over your emotions and decisions. Instead, we make the case for quiet dignity, personal growth, and letting your success speak for itself. The best revenge isn't complicated – it's becoming better than you were when you were with them and redirecting that negative energy toward positive self-improvement.We also tackle the problematic trend of broadcasting breakups on social media, airing dirty laundry, and why these behaviors reflect more poorly on you than the person you're trying to expose. Through honest conversations about relationship boundaries, respect, and authentic living, this episode challenges listeners to examine their own behaviors and consider whether they're contributing to their own happiness or sabotaging it with petty pursuits.Remember that people's opinions are like assholes – everyone has one, but that doesn't mean they're entitled to dictate your happiness. Your life is yours alone, and living it authentically is the greatest freedom you can give yourself. Subscribe now for more unfiltered conversations about relationships, personal growth, and finding your path to genuine happiness.Support the show

Send us a textEver notice how some people can't keep their mouth shut about anything? That's exactly what this raw, unfiltered episode tackles head-on. We dive into the recent censorship of adult websites requiring ID verification and question whether this represents genuine protection or just another form of control in our increasingly surveilled digital landscape.At the core of this episode is a powerful message about personal boundaries and privacy. Why do we feel compelled to broadcast every detail of our lives? Who actually deserves access to your personal business? Using a brilliant basketball arena metaphor, we explore how certain people will join you on your journey while others merely watch from the sidelines—sometimes with motives that aren't in your best interest. This distinction becomes crucial when deciding who to let into your inner circle.The most compelling moments come through vulnerable personal stories, including a shocking revelation about a family member living a double life and a traumatic encounter with an ex-partner that resulted in physical injury. These raw experiences underscore why processing difficult truths requires time and space, and why walking away from potentially explosive situations can prevent regrettable decisions. For anyone struggling with oversharing, maintaining authentic relationships, or setting healthy boundaries, this episode offers both tough love and practical wisdom. Listen now, then ask yourself: are you letting the right people know your business?Support the show

The Last 28 Years of Us The last 28 years (or there abouts) of zombie films have really changed the face of the genre. With the introduction of fast zombies, and then the addition of different zombie types; like Rage monsters, infected, fungus monsters, behemoths, clickers, alphas, etc... we have come a long way from the barely threatening shambling shufflers of yesteryear. We're not even confined to the big screen any more, with Zombies being perfect fodder for prestige TV, as well as cinema screens. Two watershed moments are our topic for discussion in this show; the continuation of the genre re-defining 28 Days later series and the second season of the Televisual video game adaptation tour-de-force series The Last of Us. In this episode both Dion and Jill are your designated survivors, while Quinny and Peta both try to outrun hordes of zombies in very different parts of the world. Synopsis It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory. Still living in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amid the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of them decides to venture into the dark heart of the mainland, he soon discovers a mutation that has spread to not only the infected, but other survivors as well. https://youtu.be/USl_egGRxD4 A huge thank you to all our undead and rage filled friends who listen avidly to each show, occasionally snarling or clicking in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

Deon Patrick's story takes a harrowing turn as he recounts the events leading to his arrest, characterized by a shocking encounter with law enforcement that he initially perceived as a misunderstanding. The interrogation process emerges as a focal point of the discussion, illustrating the psychological tactics employed by police that ultimately coerced him into a false confession. Deon's firsthand account of being subjected to mental duress, isolation, and manipulation underscores the vulnerabilities faced by individuals, particularly young men with limited support systems. The narrative offers a critical examination of how systemic biases and procedural injustices can lead to wrongful convictions, as Deon discusses the trial that followed, which was marred by a lack of credible evidence and a jury influenced by societal fears rather than facts. This segment of the podcast serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for reform within the justice system, advocating for a more equitable approach that considers the humanity of those involved and the consequences of their legal decisions.TakeawaysThe profound influence of a strong maternal figure is essential in shaping one's resilience and determination to achieve personal goals. Experiencing loss at a young age can lead to misguided choices and a descent into negative influences, highlighting the importance of guidance and support. The interrogation process often employs psychological manipulation and deprivation tactics, which can lead to false confessions even from innocent individuals. Systemic flaws within the justice system can lead to wrongful convictions, underscoring the need for reform and accountability in law enforcement practices. The stigma of having a criminal record persists even after exoneration, creating significant barriers to reintegration into society, such as securing housing and employment. A legacy of positive influence and mentorship is vital for those who have experienced incarceration, aiming to prevent others from enduring similar hardships.

Send us a textYour browser history might be your most closely guarded secret. We all have those moments—hovering over the delete button, wondering if anyone else might see the digital breadcrumbs of our curiosity. This episode dives headfirst into those moments when our private digital lives suddenly become exposed.Jack kicks things off with a provocative thought experiment: what's your honest reaction when you discover something unexpected in someone else's browser history? Through hilarious personal anecdotes—including an unforgettable night at a Guam nightclub called "Denial" that takes an unexpected turn—we explore how these moments of accidental discovery can create both comedy and crisis in our relationships.The humor here isn't just for laughs; it reveals something deeper about how we navigate privacy, judgment, and acceptance in the digital age. When someone's browser history exposes interests or preferences they haven't shared with you, is it a betrayal or simply a part of their private world you weren't meant to see?This episode also debuts our new segment "No Face, No Case," where listeners can anonymously submit their relationship questions and dilemmas. Our first submission tackles a painful situation: discovering a long-term partner is bisexual and has been unfaithful with a mutual friend. Through this discussion, we examine how couples might better navigate curiosity and desire together rather than separately.Whether you've had your own "delete my history" moment or you're curious about how others handle digital privacy in relationships, this raw, unfiltered conversation offers both entertainment and insight.

Deon Volschenk returns with his latest Folk-Pop single, "Stay." He dives into the importance of connection through the ups and downs of life. Don't miss it!
Imagine being just 20 years old when police force you to confess to a double murder you didn't commit. Then imagine spending the next 21 years of your life behind bars, with no hope of release.This isn't fiction; it's the reality Deon Patrick lived before his exoneration in 2014.In this powerful conversation, Deon shares how Chicago police built a false case against him and seven others, including a 15-year-old with borderline intellectual disability. One of the most shocking parts? His co-defendant, Daniel Taylor, was already in police custody at the time of the murders, yet authorities fabricated evidence and hid documentation that could have freed them decades earlier.When Deon was imprisoned, his daughter was just eight months old and his son eleven months old. He watched them grow up through brief visits, powerless to guide them. Even after a $13.4 million civil judgment, Deon says: “I still can't remove some of the barriers I have within myself and in my head that have happened in my life.”The prosecutors and police responsible for this miscarriage of justice faced no consequences. As Deon puts it: “They're still collecting their pension. They just as arrogant as they were back in 1992.”Today, Deon documents his story through advocacy and co-authorship. Alongside three others who were wrongfully convicted in the same case, he wrote "The Hazel Boys: The Trials of Four Innocent Men"—a memoir and a vital teaching tool for law students and the public alike.For anyone still fighting for their freedom, Deon offers simple advice: “Never give up.”Have a comment?

Send us a textTrust is sacred, but easily broken. This raw, unfiltered episode dives deep into the dangerous territory of oversharing and misplaced loyalty that can devastate your personal life.Your host opens with a powerful message that sets the tone: certain things in life aren't meant for public consumption. Through painfully honest storytelling, he recounts his own experience of betrayal when a trusted friend became involved with someone he was seeing while deployed overseas in Japan. This gut-wrenching betrayal serves as the foundation for an important life lesson about guarding your privacy and being selective about your inner circle.The conversation takes us through multiple real-world examples of how sharing intimate details can backfire spectacularly. From stolen belongings at house parties to friends turning on each other over romantic interests, each story reinforces the central theme: "Everything ain't everybody's fucking business." These experiences highlight how easily information transforms into weapons when relationships sour.What makes this episode particularly valuable is the practical wisdom on identifying false friends and recognizing when to walk away from toxic situations. The host introduces the concept of "cutting someone's ward off" – withdrawing attention and care rather than engaging in confrontational endings – as a powerful response to betrayal. This approach forces the other person to sit with the consequences of their actions rather than providing them the comfort of explanation.As you navigate your own relationships, remember that maintaining strong boundaries isn't selfish – it's self-preservation. Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of trust, privacy, and the courage to keep your circle small but meaningful.

Send us a textFinancial survival sometimes feels like a high-wire act without a safety net. Ever had that sinking feeling when you discover your car wasn't stolen—it was repossessed? That moment of panic when you realize you've lost your transportation, your independence, and possibly your dignity all at once?This raw, unflinching conversation dives deep into the economic pressures crushing everyday Americans. When Tesla vehicles can now repo themselves and drive back to the dealership, we've entered a new era of financial humiliation. But beyond the technology, it's the human cost that matters—the shame of sitting across from someone who scolds you like a child while you scramble to get your life back on track.The numbers tell a stark story: $215,000 annually for a family to live "comfortably" in Atlanta. College professors moonlighting at grocery stores just to make rent. Young adults with jobs who can't afford to move out. What happened to the American dream? We're examining how the gap between income and cost of living forces impossible choices—including people staying in unhealthy relationships purely for financial security.Child support presents another complex dimension, where well-intentioned parents sometimes find themselves labeled "deadbeats" while struggling to support themselves on what remains after payments. The quick social media judgments miss the nuanced reality many face trying to fulfill obligations to multiple households on insufficient income.Ready for an honest conversation about survival economics? Listen in, and maybe you'll feel less alone in your own financial struggles. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is push pride aside and acknowledge we weren't "designed in this life to be here by ourselves."Support the show
Air Date: 5-26-25 *CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE “SINNERS”* You thought you were going to listen to SOLVED! today, and you're not alone. We also thought we were going to make an episode of SOLVED!, but this turned into something a little bit different. So, we're calling it a “special” in which Jay!, Amanda, Deon and Erin discuss storytelling and mythology in general, and the extremely relevant and fascinating themes of the new Ryan Coogler film “Sinners,” in particular. Because storytelling is the process by which humans attempt to understand ourselves, it is, by its nature, never ending.
