On this episode of The Drive & Dish NBA podcast, hosted by Kevin Rafuse (@rafusetolose) and Justin Cousart (@JustinContheAir), Kevin is joined by WOKV's Chase Bunker (@chasebunker) to first survey the league almost ten games into the new season. Who has surprised us and who has disappointed? Then, Ja Morant voices his displeasure with the Grizzlies and gets suspended for a game. An early debate about what the market value for Ja Morant would be if he's traded and if there's any hope of salvaging the relationship in Memphis. Finally, in Who's Ballin Who's Fallin, the Lakers white guys, Wemby meets his Star Wars heroes, a slow start for the Magic and a season ending injury for Walker Kessler.

“Today it's breaking a chair. Tomorrow, the Death Star.”The Clone Wars S2E4 "Senate Spy" & S2E15 "Senate Murders"The hosts examine two Padmé-focused episodes that explore The Clone Wars beyond the battlefield. "Senate Spy" depicts Anakin's toxic jealousy when Padmé goes undercover with former acquaintance Senator Clovis, while "Senate Murders" delivers a political whodunit following the assassination of Senator Onaconda Farr during debates over military funding.Topics Discussed:Is Anakin's jealousy romantic or a red flag? How the episode portrays possessiveness and attachment as warning signs rather than endearing qualitiesDoes Clovis treat Padmé better than Anakin? Examining moments of genuine sacrifice versus entitled possession in their respective relationshipsHow did Anakin build an idealized version of Padmé in his head? The trauma bonding of their first meeting versus ten years of fantasizing about "the perfect woman"Does "Senate Spy" lay groundwork for Revenge of the Sith? Comparing strong Padmé here versus her weakened characterization in Episode IIIWhat makes "Senate Murders" relevant to modern politics? Parallels between fictional war profiteering and real-world military-industrial influence in governmentWhy was Lieutenant Tan Divo such a condescending diva? The inspector's on-the-nose name and his dismissive treatment of both Jedi and senators**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

[Meta: This is Max Harms. I wrote a novel about China and AGI, which comes out today. This essay from my fiction newsletter has been slightly modified for LessWrong.] In the summer of 1983, Ronald Reagan sat down to watch the film War Games, starring Matthew Broderick as a teen hacker. In the movie, Broderick's character accidentally gains access to a military supercomputer with an AI that almost starts World War III.“The only winning move is not to play.” After watching the movie, Reagan, newly concerned with the possibility of hackers causing real harm, ordered a full national security review. The response: “Mr. President, the problem is much worse than you think.” Soon after, the Department of Defense revamped their cybersecurity policies and the first federal directives and laws against malicious hacking were put in place. But War Games wasn't the only story to influence Reagan. His administration pushed for the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") in part, perhaps, because the central technology—a laser that shoots down missiles—resembles the core technology behind the 1940 spy film Murder in the Air, which had Reagan as lead actor. Reagan was apparently such a superfan of The Day the Earth Stood Still [...] ---Outline:(05:05) AI in Particular(06:45) Whats Going On Here?(11:19) Authorial Responsibility The original text contained 10 footnotes which were omitted from this narration. --- First published: November 3rd, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/uQak7ECW2agpHFsHX/the-unreasonable-effectiveness-of-fiction --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:

Our celebration of Revenge of the Sith continues with a discussion of Matthew Stover's novelization.
Here is the thirteenth and final chapter of the audiobook of Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker by George Lucas (Alan Dean Foster ghostwriter). Read by David Garfield.
Danny and Kevin gather to eulogize the late, great Drew Struzan and sing the praises of the Movie Poster. This lost art has been replaced by cheap physical media packaging or reduced to thumbnail imagery on a streaming service. But there was a time when a good movie poster promised cinematic greatness whether or not the movie was actually good or not. So listen as the fellas discuss things they like for a duration usually reserved for a terrible Star War.

This episode of Star Warsologies covers feminism and gender representation in Star Wars with author and historian Becca Harrison. Becca Harrison tallied up all the screen time for female characters in Star Wars movies over the decades and even made cuts of the film with only dialogue from female characters. They get a lot more screen time these days and we talk about why that's important. We discuss feminism, gender identity, and the importance of representation when it comes to Star Wars, including within the fandom itself. Becca is a freelance academic who has studied Star Wars from multiple academic angles including historical, data technology, gender identity, and even environmental.

"In 1994, at age 40, Pastor Richard Gazowsky saw his first movie. Later that year, he received a vision from God." So begins the saga of AUDIENCE OF ONE, a brilliant documentary that serves as a cultural Rosetta stone for our podcast, an intimate portrait of where faith in God meets faith in movies. It's both a monument to the power of belief and a sobering testimony of how unchecked pride can poison spiritual authority. Director Michael Jacobs was given deep access to Gazowsky, his family, and his church (Voice of Pentecost, San Francisco). The film opens as the congregation-turned-film crew prepares their first feature. Having felt "called" by God to make a movie, Gazowsky appoints himself director and enlists family, parishioners, and a few hired outsiders despite no one having experience. Their ambitious project, GRAVITY: THE SHADOW OF JOSEPH, reimagines the biblical story of Joseph as a futuristic, Star Wars-inspired epic to be shot in Italy. Funded through church offerings, the production quickly spirals. Gazowsky secures favors and finances he can't repay, including a $17,000-per-month studio he's eventually evicted from. His leadership is strikingly confident, and he makes quick decisions and commands authority, but many are disastrous. He insists the film be shot on 70mm at 60 frames per second, a technically absurd and prohibitively expensive choice. In Italy, the crew manages to film only two incomplete, soundless scenes before the production collapses. Yet Gazowsky remains undeterred. In the film's haunting conclusion, he preaches that his next plan is to create a company producing 47 films a year, alongside resorts, airlines, and a space program. Gazowsky's faith seems consumed by ambition, though his audacity occasionally borders on genius. Still, his willingness to endanger and exploit his congregation, including children on unsafe sets, feels reckless and cruel. AUDIENCE OF ONE is an extreme but eye-opening look at faith-based film, where the movie is a powerful totem that allows the filmmaker to create an idol to both himself and God. In a roundabout way, it is an inspiring tale of faith, art, and the creative spirit.
