Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are escalating their attacks on the American press, with Hegseth accusing parts of the media of "treason" and Trump continuing his praise of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Don breaks down the growing clash between the administration and journalists and speaks to Historian Timothy Snyder. Plus, Cornell University is facing intense scrutiny over its handling of disturbing sexual assault allegations involving members of the Chi Phi fraternity. No criminal charges were initially filed, but prosecutors have now reopened the investigation and the case is expected to go before a grand jury.

Trump rolled out the red carpet treatment for China's Xi, a cruel killer and dictator. Trump treats our allies like shit and kisses the feet of autocrats. Not at all surprising. As long as Trump is in the White House, the United States is not on the side of the free world. I've said that a bunch, but every time I say it, it's still a shocking thing to say. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we examine the aesthetic of the Dictator's Wife, a 20th century archetype of conspicuous luxury, scary elegance, and icy detachment. We catalog the aesthetic's signatures, from exotic furs and bulletproof coiffs to monochrome coordination and maximalist millinery. We consider how rigidly controlled femininity functions as armor and propaganda and survey the historical canon: Imelda Marcos's infamous wardrobe, Elena Ceaușescu's ugly-chic vanity crashouts, Asma al-Assad's Vogue-approved Euro minimalism, and more. We also relate these issues to America's current political climate, including the “edifice complex” ravaging our nation's capitol, Melania's beleaguered glam squad, and the gilded tyranny of Mar-a-Lago glamour.

Normally when one describes a dictator they will talk about murder, violence, oppression, coups, but not usually willingly giving up power. The dictator of Seychelles is perhaps one of the most rare examples of exactly that in history. This is his story and how the Seychelles became a modern state.

First up, Trumps dictators toolkit and how we got here. Eleanor sits down with journalist, researcher and policy director of Defending Rights & Dissent Chip Gibbons to talk about the NSPM-7, the latest in a long line of attacks on our basic constitutional rights. Chip warns that we should neither look at this as a new phenomenon in US history nor should we be flippant about the severity of Trumps escalation. By looking at history we can contextualize our current moment and understand more of what the government is thinking with regards to our rights, our movements, and our future. Next up, cohosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield sit down to dig into some news that didnt make the news, focusing on attacks on journalists and academic freedom. They outline how Congress is blackmailing universities to swear loyalty to Israel, the myriad attacks on journalists abroad and at home, and how DHS is using a customs law to obtain the private data and correspondence of journalists, non-profits and unions. They also dig into some recently released documents that show how the powers that be were well aware of the toxicity of ground zero after 9/11, but hid it so that Wall Street could re-open.   The News That Didn't Make the News. Each week, co-hosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield conduct in depth interviews with their guests and offer hard hitting commentary on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy.

Last week we remembered the Sept. 11 attacks. But some people, shall we say, did not know how to grieve well. That's for many reasons. One of them is strange yet simple—they can't fathom that real people could really do something like this. But it's true that many groups of real bad guys really want to take over the world. So today, author Kerry Nietz, student of futuristic caliphates, returns to the studio to ask which false religions seem the most bent on global domination.

He has over a half dozen speculative novels in print, along with a novella, a couple short stories, and a non-fiction book, FoxTales. Kerry's novel A Star Curiously Singing won the Readers Favorite Gold Medal Award for Christian Science Fiction and is notable for its dystopian, cyberpunk vibe in a world under sharia law. It  is often mentioned on “Best of” lists. Among his writings, Kerry's most talked about is the genre-bending Amish Vampires in Space. AViS was mentioned on the Tonight Show and in the Washington Post, Library Journal, and Publishers Weekly. Newsweek called it “a welcome departure from the typical Amish fare.” Today his latest release is Start Early, You Might Get Published Before You Die, an honest and humorous look at the long, unpredictable path from aspiring storyteller to published novelist. 1. If militant Islam took over the world … This one's been much in the news, so we'll discuss this one first. Kerry and Stephen have both written about Islam in their novels. Kerry's novels imagine a future literally ruled by the caliphate. That's a future many Muslims anticipate, total submission to Allah. Yes, many believe (with Qu'ran support) that it's won by the sword. Yet this story is more about the people affected by these beliefs. Stephen's novel includes “peaceful Muslims” and militant ones. In fact, long before Sept. 11 he was researching Islamic religion. Great fiction shows realistic people, peaceful, militant, in between. We can reject false religion and long for everyone to know Jesus. 2. If fake Christianity took over the world … Some folks ignore other world-dominators and focus only on this. In some cases, they've truly suffered in the Church Back Home. Yet in other cases, they only think they have, or fall into rumors. But it's still worth noting some professing Christians do want this. And not in the normal, biblical way of “Jesus returns to do this.” Some specifically call for religious monarchy, a “Christian prince.” There really is a “patriarchy” or bad sorts of religious nationalists. Shrewd readers will spy references in Above the Circle of Earth. Such top-down “spiritual” notions are refuted by clear Scripture. Jesus takes over the world in His own way, starting with hearts. 3. If a secular state took over the world … This is more of a catch-all, because this foe can take many forms. Secular-Luciferianism, like in many Christian end-times scenarios. Materialist magicians, like the N.I.C.E. of That Hideous Strength. Humanistic technocracy, like CAUSE in Above the Circle of Earth. Sociopolitical movements like Godless socialism or Communism. These also include fascism, secular nationalism, and evil hybrids. Dictator cults, like the Kim dynasty that dominates North Korea. Sexualism, or the religious worship of disordered self-expression. New! Therapism, which denies our sinful nature for “brokenness.” Many of these are adept at hijacking Christian-sounding words. Com station Top question for listeners If you were evil, how would you take over the world? John Fort heard our ep. 326 chat with Bryan Davis: I've met Bryan Davis many times in real life as an exhibitor at homeschool conventions. He is the real deal—a humble, honest, and good man. He has been very encouraging and helpful to me as an upcoming author of fantasy and sci-fi myself. So happy you featured him on your podcast.

Based on the first two volumes in Stephen R. Lawhead's series, The Pendragon Cycle worked its new wizardry to reach the top 5 shows on Prime Video. Let's go behind the scenes of the Cycle, touching on controversies but staying pre-political and pre-medieval as we explore how Christian creators fight to build the future.

Caesar didn't break Rome. 50 years before Caesar ever mattered, Sulla did — and he did it while trying to save the Republic.Rome spent 400 years building constraints to stop a king. Two consuls, not one. One-year terms. Ten tribunes with veto power. No army inside the sacred boundary of the city. No office without a term limit. It worked because everyone agreed to lose — you lost an election, you waited your turn.Sulla broke every one of those constraints in five years. Legions camped inside the pomerium where no army had legally stood for four centuries. The first proscription list nailed to the forum wall — turning murder into law and confiscation into budget policy. The dictator's chair, empty for 120 years, dragged back out with no expiration date.Then he walked away. He resigned the dictatorship, served an ordinary consulship the next year, and retired to his villa in Puteoli as a private citizen. He thought the precedents wouldn't matter because he hadn't kept power.He was wrong.This is Episode 123 of The Fall of the Republic series on The Roman Pattern — the story of how Sulla set every precedent Caesar, Antony, and Augustus would use to destroy the Republic, while genuinely believing he was saving it. He is not a villain who destroyed the Republic because he hated it. He is worse. He is the repairman who used dynamite to fix the plumbing.Chapters:00:00 Caesar didn't break Rome01:30 What the Republic actually was02:47 Sulla's origin — patrician without money03:51 Jugurtha and the signet ring05:26 The Marian reforms and shifting loyalties06:12 The Social War07:55 Consul at 5008:44 The Sulpician crisis09:36 The march on Rome11:22 East to fight Mithridates11:48 Marius and Cinna purge Rome13:09 Return with five legions13:59 The Colline Gate15:07 Dictator with no time limit16:00 The proscription lists17:15 Fiscal policy through murder18:08 The constitutional reforms19:42 The young officers watching — Pompey, Crassus, Caesar20:09 Sulla walks away20:56 The settlement dismantled21:26 The Second Triumvirate copies the machinery22:47 Precedents don't dieSources referenced:— Plutarch, Life of Sulla— Appian, The Civil Wars, Book 1— Sallust, Bellum Jugurthinum— Cicero (contemporary references)— Cassius Dio, Books 30-35— Arthur Keaveney, Sulla: The Last Republican— Ronald Syme, The Roman Revolution (1939)— Mary Beard, SPQR— Erich Gruen, The Last Generation of the Roman RepublicThe Fall of the Republic series continues next Monday with Spartacus — the slave revolt that set up Rome's collapse.

1. 100-Character Summary SC Senate debate set; callers critique GOP strategy; Charlie addresses Somali dictator family fraud. 2. One-Paragraph Summary In Hour 1, Charlie James covers key South Carolina political developments, announcing an upcoming October 11 Senate debate between Republican candidate Darling Graham and Democratic opponent Dr. Annie Andrews on Gray Media stations. With polls showing a narrow lead for Graham, callers voice concern over her campaign's low visibility compared to Andrews, as well as the potential impact of a third-party write-in movement for Ralph Norman. Charlie urges the candidate to deliver strong, substantive policy answers during the debate rather than surface-level statements. He also reviews South Carolina's education rankings, comparing its spending and student outcomes against the "Mississippi Miracle" reading turnaround. Finally, Charlie details a report on the children of former Somali dictator Siad Barre living open suburban lives in Ohio while running businesses linked to a massive Medicare fraud scheme.

“We've taken our democratic functioning for granted, and we've forgotten what it looks like to actually have to fight for it.” — William Hitchcock Today is the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11, and there's a lot of sombre talk about the forever wars triggered by the attack. But sometimes, fighting evil might be necessary. So argues William Hitchcock, whose A Shadow Over the World is a major new history of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the rise of fascism, and the making of American involvement in World War II. We got the thirties wrong, Hitchcock says. The conventional view is that an interventionist FDR was hamstrung by an isolationist American public. Thus the US's tardy entry into the war. The truth, Hitchcock argues, is the opposite. Judging from the period's magazines, radio, films, and plays, he finds that most Americans hated fascism and wanted to act, while Roosevelt wanted nothing to do with Europe until after Munich. Having become an interventionist, FDR managed the propaganda war with such trademark sophistication that “isolationist” and “appeasement” became the nastiest insults in Washington DC. So insulting, in fact, that American policy makers still deploy them today, with every adversary a new Hitler, every negotiation a new Munich. Because the isolationists ended up as history's villains, Hitchcock says, we've back-projected a narrative in which the 1930s public had its head in the sand and FDR was the lone farsighted interventionist. So the real thirties — featuring a vibrant public conversation about America's role in the world, with the public actually more anti-fascist than the president — has gotten buried under FDR's own accomplished myth-making. And then there's the F word. Are we back in fascist times? Is the 2020s a repeat of the 1930s? The UVA professor lives in Charlottesville, so it's a particularly timely question for him. Hitchcock sees fascist behavior, he confesses, but not a fascist country. In the face of authoritarianism, he notes, America remains a vibrant democracy. Maybe that's what the 2020s, with its public resistance to authoritarianism, has in common with the 1930s. History doesn't repeat itself, as the line attributed to Mr America himself, Mark Twain, has it — but it rhymes. Five Takeaways •       We Got the Thirties Wrong. The book's revisionist core, against libraries of Roosevelt biography: the standard story — an interventionist FDR hamstrung by an isolationist public — is backwards. From fresh research in the periodicals, radio speeches, films, and plays of 1930s political culture, Hitchcock finds an American public that hated fascism and wanted to do something, while Roosevelt wanted nothing to do with Europe or Asia from 1933 all the way to Munich in September 1938. His gift, once converted, was finding ways to act short of war — and then vilifying the isolationists so thoroughly that appeasement became the great sin — insults American policy makers still deploy today, with every adversary a new Hitler and every negotiation a new Munich. The thirties Americans were more sophisticated than the caricature: they struggled to fight fascism while avoiding war. The decade, Hitchcock insists, was not a cautionary tale of heads in the sand but “a time much like our own,” when Americans argued about the right role for their country in the world.•       Coughlin, Not Lindbergh. The corrective to Philip Roth: The Plot Against America is a wonderful novel that overstates its villain. Lindbergh came late — speaking out only in 1940, joining America First in spring 1941, by which time “the table was set” and Roosevelt had won the war of ideas; polling showed two-thirds of Americans against Lindbergh's views. The German American Bund, swastikas in Madison Square Garden notwithstanding, was small. Far more dangerous was Father Coughlin, the radio priest with millions of listeners undermining Roosevelt at every turn. The deeper discomfort: fascism was popular in America later than we like to admit — elites welcomed Mussolini in 1922, dictatorship carried no stigma, and Studebaker sold a sedan called the Dictator until 1937. (“Roth missed the trick,” Andrew noted. It should have been a Ford.) As for the New-Deal-as-fascism charge, leveled then and since: Roosevelt's own answer — he was saving capitalism by making it fairer — holds, because fascism is not an economic program but war on enemies at home and abroad.•       The Sheriff and the Same Tree. The South's paradoxes, which deserve a book of their own. In Congress, southern Democrats — including Carter Glass of Virginia, among the most racist senators of a racist era — were ardent interventionists, not least because rearmament dollars flowed to southern military bases. Meanwhile African Americans were the first to recognize fascism, because they already lived under it: “he's right here in our courthouse… He's the sheriff. He's the mayor” — Jim Crow and fascism, branches of the same tree, as the Black press argued years before Pearl Harbor. Hence A. Philip Randolph's high-stakes poker in 1941: threatening a million-man march he might not have mustered, he extracted the executive order barring segregation in federally funded defense plants — the first federal lever of the modern civil rights era. The enduring puzzle Hitchcock presses on his disbelieving students: America fought and won the great war for democracy with a segregated army. And civil rights remains, in his verdict, one of the biggest stains on FDR's reputation — Eleanor's Black Cabinet notwithstanding.•       The Making of a World Power. The trail of tears first: Abyssinia invaded, and America wouldn't even embargo oil; Spain's elected government denied weapons while the fascists poured in guns; the Anschluss, the Sudetenland, Munich — nothing. The switch, Hitchcock argues, came at Munich: Roosevelt grasped that American military weakness was itself the problem — nothing could deter Hitler's testing — and by early 1939 the Neutrality Act was being unwound, billions were flowing into a new Navy (even isolationists loved a picket fence around the hemisphere), and 1940 brought peacetime conscription. The supporting cast makes the chapter: Martha Gellhorn's letters from Spain — “a dress rehearsal of the coming conflict” — reaching FDR through Eleanor; the loathed Chamberlain (“there's one thing Roosevelt couldn't stand — condescending Europeans”); the Stalin gamble that made him look a fool at the pact and a prophet at Lend-Lease; and Dorothy Thompson, the Republican journalist expelled by the Gestapo, whose Herald Tribune columns FDR's speechwriters lifted by the page. And then Hollywood's convergence: Casablanca — written after its playwright visited Vichy France to rescue his wife's Jewish family — with Rick as Roosevelt, hesitating in a cafe called White House until he joins the fight, in theaters just as GIs landed in North Africa.•       Not at Midnight Yet. The 2026 lessons, delivered from Charlottesville — Exhibit A, where 2017's riot was “the kind of thing you could have seen in Weimar Germany.” First: normalization is the danger — the salami tactics of fascists mean “if they can get away with a little slice, they'll keep slicing,” and the thirties' sin was depicting Mussolini as harmless. Second: the demonizing instinct should be resisted — pressed on Susan Neiman's forthcoming Ca...

A “disruptive passenger” was duct taped to his seat after dropping N-bombs and “lashing out” at staff – wouldn't you know, the boys think he should have been thrown out.

Quaaludes are coming back, b/w a video of a guy talking about how much he loved ‘ludes in the old days. The Dark Web is useless to a guy like Brian, because he can't find videos of monkeys and kids having knife fights. Update: Mark Sanchez will be working at a Chipotle in two years.

CAPTION 1935Dictator's Marginalia Reveals Mind's WorkingsGeoffrey Roberts, Part Two: Roberts details how Stalin's personal annotations, or pometki, in five hundred surviving archived books reflect how his mind worked and how he applied ideas. Roberts describes Stalin's interest in historical state-builders like Otto von Bismarck and Ivan the Terrible, whose reputations he rehabilitated to retrospectively justify his own harsh, authoritarian regime and state building. He notes Stalin's engagement with American constitutional structures and industrial management, despite his dogmatic Marxist belief in global capitalism's eventual fall. (2)

In her first four years as a salon owner, she experienced three team walkouts while cycling through three ineffective leadership styles: hiring friends over fit ("The Idealist"), leading with rigid control ("The Dictator"), and becoming too hands-off once the business stabilized ("The Semi-Absentee"). Those experiences led her to develop a "leading the leaders" approach, which helped grow the business into an acquisition by a platform company.

This podcast exists because Kirk Brown had what Eric thinks was a very stupid idea, to start a podcast about foundation and nonprofit communications. Seven years later, they're still at it. Our guests today, Emily Shaw and Bridget Conley, started the podcast Disrupting Peace because Bridget had a very good idea: create a podcast to take on the question of why peace hasn't worked, and find ways to address those challenges. Bridget is the research director at the World Peace Foundation. Emily is the crack producer who helped her build the show. Organizations are always looking for new ways to use communications to advance their mission, and sooner or later the question comes up, "Should we start a podcast?"

Assistant Director of the LCHP Rose Campbell welcomes UCLA historian Robin Lauren Derby to discuss her new book Bêtes Noires: Sorcery as History in the Haitian-Dominican Borderlands. Robin explores how beliefs surrounding the bacá, spirits that appear as animals, preserve cultural memories of colonialism, slavery, authoritarianism, and capitalist exploitation in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Drawing on archival research, ethnographic studies, and oral interviews, Robin explains how stories of shape-shifting, zombies, and sorcery reveal enduring Indigenous, African, and colonial influences while challenging dominant nationalist narratives about Haitian-Dominican relations. She argues that these spiritual traditions are not simply folklore but valuable historical sources that illuminate the lasting legacies of violence, resistance, race, and political repression in the region, while continuing to evolve and take on new meanings in the present day.Robin Lauren Derby is Professor and Dr. E. Bradford Burns Chair in Latin American Studies at UCLA. Robin's work has focused on everyday life under regimes of state terror, the long durée social history of the Haitian and Dominican borderlands, and how notions of race, national identity, and witchcraft have been articulated in popular media such as rumor, food, and animals. Her first book, The Dictator's Seduction: Politics and the Popular Imagination in the Era of Trujillo (Duke, 2009; published in Spanish by the Academy of History of the Dominican Republic, 2016), considered public culture and daily life during the regime of Rafael Trujillo in the Dominican Republic (1930-61). She has also authored and co-edited many volumes and articles on Haiti and the Dominican Republic. She is currently Senior Editor of the Hispanic American Historical Review, which is housed at UCLA.

What if the biggest problem in your business isn't marketing, sales, or finance—but the way you think and behave? In this episode, Gino Barbaro explores the concept of business archetypes and how unconscious patterns, beliefs, and emotional responses can influence the way you lead, make decisions, and grow your business. There are 10 different business archetypes, including the Rebel, Warrior, Servant Leader, Gambler, Novice, Inventor, Dictator, Conservator, Entrepreneur, and Master. None of them are inherently good or bad. The key is understanding how each archetype shows up in your behavior—and recognizing when one may be helping you or holding you back. Gino shares personal examples from his restaurant and real estate journey, including how the Conservator and Novice archetypes affected his ability to grow and scale. He also explains how activating the Warrior mindset helped him develop a growth mindset, learn new systems, and move beyond the limitations of his previous experience. Ask yourself: • Which business archetype sounds most like you? • Where has this archetype helped you succeed? • Where has it become a liability? • What behavior do you need to change to take your business to the next level? The goal isn't to become a different person. It's to become more self-aware—so you can recognize the patterns influencing your decisions and consciously choose how you want to respond. Want to discover all 10 business archetypes? Email Gino at Gino@JakeandGino.com to receive the full list and characteristics of each archetype.

Movie of the Year: 2006Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of KazakhstanThe Borat Podcast Phenomenon: Satire, Shock Value, and Staying PowerThe Borat podcast from Movie of the Year explores one of 2006's most controversial and talked-about films. Sacha Baron Cohen's mockumentary arrived as a cultural earthquake. Audiences had never seen anything quite like it. The film presented itself as a documentary following a fictional Kazakhstani journalist through America. In reality, it weaponized satire in ways that still provoke debate today. The Borat podcast episode digs into how Cohen achieved this effect. We examine the craft behind the chaos. Furthermore, we ask whether the shock value overshadowed the actual social commentary. Above all, this is a film that demands to be discussed.About the FilmDirected by Larry Charles, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan premiered at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival. The Borat podcast traces the film's journey from festival premiere to cultural phenomenon. The film followed Borat Sagdiyev, a television reporter from Kazakhstan, as he traveled across the United States. Nominally, he was researching American culture. In practice, he spent the film creating uncomfortable, often hilarious interactions with unsuspecting Americans. The film was partially scripted and partially improvisational. Cohen's performance art approach meant that real people became unwitting participants in elaborate pranks. Consequently, the picture sparked immediate controversy about consent, cultural sensitivity, and the ethics of mockumentary comedy.The film grossed over $260 million worldwide and became a cultural phenomenon virtually overnight. By contrast, most independent comedies barely reach a fraction of that audience. Learn more about Borat on IMDb, or read the full Wikipedia entry.The Satire, the Method, and the Cultural ImpactAt its core, Borat operates as a Trojan horse. The film pretends to be a fish-out-of-water comedy. However, it's actually a scathing critique of American attitudes. The Borat podcast digs into this contradiction at length. Cohen's character exposes racism, sexism, and anti-Semitism by drawing them out of ordinary people. The satire works because audiences laugh before they realize what they're laughing at. Additionally, viewers must grapple with complicity. They enjoyed the comedy, yet that comedy often relies on humiliating real people. This tension is precisely the point.The method behind Borat borrows heavily from Andy Kaufman's tradition of transgressive performance art. Cohen spent years developing the character before filming began. He remained in character between takes. Furthermore, he worked with a skeleton crew to maintain the documentary illusion. Most of the "interviewees" had no idea they were being filmed for a narrative feature. This approach blurs the line between documentary and fiction in unprecedented ways. Notably, it also raises serious ethical questions that the film itself never fully addresses. The cultural impact proved enormous. Within weeks, Borat became shorthand for a particular brand of boundary-pushing comedy. College students quoted the film constantly. Yet critics remained divided on whether the satire was sufficiently incisive or merely cruel.The film's influence on comedy cannot be overstated. It opened doors for films like Brüno and The Dictator. Nevertheless, it also sparked a conversation about the ethics of pranking that continues today. By contrast, most comedies fade from cultural memory. Borat remains present in discourse because it asks uncomfortable questions.IP Freely on the Borat Podcast: What If a 2006 Director Made a Marvel Movie?Here's a thought experiment: Imagine Larry Charles directing a Marvel property in 2006. The result would be radically different from what the MCU eventually became. Charles brings a documentary aesthetic and deep discomfort into every frame. He's drawn to morally ambiguous situations. Therefore, his Marvel film would prioritize character awkwardness over spectacle. Consider this scenario: Charles directs Iron Man in 2006 with a 2004-era approach to superhero casting. The tone would be satirical, maybe even mockumentary-styled. Robert Downey Jr.'s character would feel less like a hero and more like a flawed businessman uncomfortable with his own mythology.Alternatively, picture Sacha Baron Cohen as a Marvel character in 2006. The studio would never allow his anarchic energy into their carefully controlled franchises. Yet imagine if they had. Cohen could have been a Thor-like character who doesn't understand Earth. His fish-out-of-water routine would align perfectly with fish-out-of-space storytelling. The scenes with other Avengers would crackle with uncomfortable tension. Baron Cohen thrives in social friction. A Marvel movie would provide an entire world of characters for him to destabilize. The result would feel more like a Kaufman film than anything in the MCU canon. Such a project would be too unpredictable for Marvel's brand management.PopFilter Hall of FameThe Taste Buds inducted Borat into the PopFilter Hall of Fame. This honor recognizes films that transcend their moment and become part of pop culture permanently. Borat earned this status for several reasons. First, the film's central character became a recognizable reference point. People who never saw the movie know who Borat is. Moreover, the film demonstrated that mockumentary could be both commercially viable and culturally significant. Additionally, it showed that comedy could be provocative and still find a massive audience. Finally, the picture's impact on subsequent comedy filmmaking cannot be understated. Every awkward-comedy and cringe-comedy film since 2006 owes something to this picture's approach.Hall of Fame status also reflects longevity. Rewatching Borat today feels different than it did in 2006. The film has aged in unexpected ways. Some jokes land harder because they reflect genuine changes in American discourse. Others feel more uncomfortable because our cultural standards have shifted. Specifically, the film's treatment of certain communities provokes more heated debate now. Nevertheless, the picture remains relevant. It remains a text people genuinely discuss in 2024. That staying power justifies Hall of Fame recognition.Why Borat Still MattersFifteen years after its release, Borat remains essential viewing. The Borat podcast episode demonstrates this staying power. The film documents a specific moment in American history. The movie captures mid-2000s attitudes with uncomfortable clarity. Furthermore, it serves as a mirror. What the film reveals about American culture in 2006 says as much about us as viewers as it does about the people on screen. The picture represents peak mockumentary filmmaking. Few films since have matched its ability to make audiences simultaneously laugh and cringe.Beyond its comedic achievements, Borat represents a risk-taking moment in mainstream cinema. The film was genuinely dangerous to make. Cohen and Charles put themselves in real physical danger. Moreover, they put others in uncomfortable situations without consent. This raises questions that remain unresolved. Can art justify its methods? When does comedy become cruelty? These aren't just academic questions. They're central to the film's power. Borat doesn't let audiences off easy. It forces us to think about what we're laughing at. Ultimately, that's why the film continues to matter. It demands engagement rather than passive consumption.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 2006Movie of the Year 2006: Podcast Intro, Part 1Movie of the Year 2006: Bracket Reveal2006 Mixtape, Part 1All Movie of the Year episodesFAQ: Borat Podcast and FilmWhat is the Borat podcast episode about?The Borat podcast explores Sacha Baron Cohen's 2006 mockumentary as a work of satire, examining the methods Cohen used to expose American attitudes.

In the eighth and final 15 minutes of our screenplay treatment, Napoleon really is trying to get this one last job done by completing the Brumaire coup. But his bid for his ultimate goal requires an unexpected sacrifice and is dependent on an essential contribution from his now thoroughly beloved Josephine. With a new framing device underlining the crucial role of Paul Barras in this story as the antagonist, we're sprinting for a finish line - and a certain comfy chair for our leading man.Yes, it's episode nine of our screenwriting escapade, in which we complete our mission of crafting a top-notch screenplay treatment about the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. Alex Stevenson is joined by James Topham (who knows a thing or two about screenwriting) and Ben Deery (who knows a thing or two about acting) to put the movie world to rights. Having analysed the pitfalls and frustrations of Ridley Scott's Napoleon 2023 in the first season the Napoleon Movie Quarter-Hourly, this time round the team have tried their uppermost to come up with the magic themselves.As our resident artificial aide-de-camp NAIpoleon Bot-aparte puts it:[02:27] The Recap of the "Rotten Pear": James catches us up on Act Three so far, featuring Napoleon's desertion from Egypt, a "titanic" row with Josephine, and a dinner with Barras that changes everything.[12:12] History is a Farce: Alex reads from Zamoyski's biography, revealing the hilarious historical reality of the coup: a bucking horse, a stress-induced facial rash, and a very "undone" Napoleon.[17:03] Dramatic Masterstroke or "Sh*tshow"?: The team debates whether Napoleon's historical bungling of the coup is a screenwriting disaster or an ironic opportunity for a "stunning performance."[19:13] The Ultimate Sacrifice: Alex pitches a thematic climax where Napoleon trades his "Great Man" dignity and romantic ideals for the grubbiness of actual power.[21:45] The Novella as a Blunt Instrument: Ben suggests a high-action alternative involving Napoleon beating a man unconscious with his own rolled-up novella manuscript.[28:35] The Framing Device Rabbit Hole: A deep dive into the art of the framing device, featuring references to The Princess Bride, Amadeus, and the "triangle" used in the World Snooker Championship.[33:10] Perspectives on a Dinner: The hosts pitch a circular narrative structure that uses a dinner with Barras to show how the "urbane puppet master" became the man who "owes Napoleon everything."[43:03] Marinara in the Sticks: Exploring the "fitting end" for Barras—sidelined to a provincial town like Ray Liotta at the end of Goodfellas with nothing but bad pasta sauce for company.[45:28] The Bonaparte Whisperer: Josephine finally gets an active role in the heist, proving she is a master survivor who knows exactly how to handle smitten Directory presidents and resignation letters.[52:36] The Dictator's Comfy Chair: The team lands on a final image involving a circular seating arrangement, an enigmatic grin, and the most crucial question of the production: "Who is going to play the pug?"Help us produce more episodes by supporting the Napoleonic Quarterly on Patreon: patreon.com/napoleonicquarterly

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Twitch streamer Hasan Piker's love and admiration for Mao Zedong, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's threat to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested, the U.S. Treasury stopping nearly $100 million in payments bound for dead people, and Daniel Ortega scrapping elections in Nicaragua for good.First, Jim and Greg react to a clip of Hasan Piker calling the Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong "one of the great leaders of this world" and "a man who changed the entire universe," insisting he never has and never will criticize him. Jim and Greg remind us that Mao's Great Leap Forward starved tens of millions of his own people to death in what's considered the deadliest famine in history.Next, they dig into Mamdani saying on a New York Times podcast that Prime Minister Netanyahu "belongs in The Hague" and wanting to arrest Netanyahu if he visits the city for September's U.N. General Assembly. Jim says the mayor has no legal authority to do so, and President Trump has already said that Netanyahu will not be taken into custody on American soil.Then, Jim and Greg welcome some good news as the Treasury stopped nearly $100 million in payments to deceased recipients, more than triple what was caught before Trump returned to office. The Treasury says its new verification system could stop up to $350 million in fraudulent payments before the year is out. Jim and Greg agree that while this may be a drop in the bucket compared to the national debt, any improvements should be celebrated.Finally, they cover Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega abolishing elections, effectively extending his term indefinitely and closing off any path for the opposition to take over. Jim and Greg note the 80-year-old has been around for decades. The Reagan administration famously supported the Contra freedom fighters against Ortega's Sandinista government in the 1980s.Please visit our great sponsors: BetterHelpDon't let stigma stand in the way of support.

Charles Spicer recounts how, in September 1936, Lloyd George met Hitler at the Berghof, where the dictator successfully charmed the aging statesman. Hitler was so delighted by the initial meeting that he invited Lloyd George's entourage, including his children, back for a second day. Lloyd George proposed extending the Locarno conference to address grievances regarding the Versailles Treaty. However, observers noted Hitler's visceral, twitching physical response whenever the Soviet Union was mentioned. Although Lloyd George was later castigated for praising Hitler in the press, Spicer argues he was effectively attempting the diplomacy that subsequent Prime Ministers failed to master. (5)19451

Saddam Hussein with nothing. Born to a poor peasant family in a mud-brick village. Abandoned by his father before he was born. Raised by an abusive uncle who beat him daily. By thirty, he was an assassin. By forty, he controlled one of the world's most oil-rich nations. By fifty, he was called the "Butcher of Baghdad." How does someone climb from absolute obscurity to absolute power? How do you build a dictatorship in a world that's supposed to have moved on from strongmen and tyrants? Today we're going back to the beginning. From Saddam's brutal childhood to the 1968 Ba'athist coup. From his CIA connections to the 1979 purge that cemented his reign of terror.

North Korea has been led by a string of vicious dictators — all men. But Kim Jong Un seems to be auditioning his daughter for the job. This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Jolie Myers, fact-checked by Gabriel Dunatov, engineered by David Tatasciore and Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Noel King.
