"Was the legendary sheriff Buford Pusser a hero—or a killer hiding behind Hollywood myth?"In this jaw-dropping episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray unravel a decades-old cold case that inspired not one, but two Hollywood films—and may have been built on a lie.True Crime Turner takes center stage as KT dives into the 1967 murder of Pauline Pusser, wife of Tennessee sheriff Buford Pusser. Once hailed as a vigilante icon and immortalized in the cult classic Walking Tall, new forensic evidence suggests Buford may have staged the entire ambush and murdered his wife in cold blood. The twist? Blood spatter outside the car and a suspicious close-range wound on Buford's cheek contradict his heroic tale.The crew explores how this revelation shakes the foundation of a story that spawned a 1973 film starring Joe Don Baker and a 2004 remake with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Ben hilariously speculates, “This is going to get The Rock canceled!” while Skin wonders if the truth was buried until Joe Don Baker's passing earlier this year.

Han är Hollywoods bäst betalde skådespelare, med ett förflutet som kung i en annan värld späckad av drama och högtflygande stunts. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. När supersnuten Luke Hobbs, svettigt, ilsket, och muskulöst spelad av Dwayne Johnson, drabbar samman med Vin Diesels lika grovhuggna antihjälte Dom Toretto i actionfilmen ”Fast five” är det en ostoppbar kraft som möter ett orubbligt föremål. Den filmiska krocken skakar om biosalonger världen över, och när intäkterna har räknats samman är det ett kvitto på att Dwayne Johnson är mannen Hollywood ska ringa för en kassainjektion.Så inleds berättelsen om en klättring till den absoluta toppen av underhållningspyramiden i USA. Men Dwayne Johnsons historia börjar mycket tidigare än så. För innan han fick folk från Texas till Tianjin att flockas till biograferna var han redan den största stjärnan i wrestling – en bransch som mainstreamkulturen länge rynkat på näsan åt, och en företeelse som belackarna har kallat fejk men vars äkta fans är gränslöst lojala.Det är i slutet av 90-talet som Dwayne Johnson gör entré i ringen som wrestlaren The Rock. Hans bisarrt kaxiga attityd, matchad av en lika vågad garderob, överträffas bara av hans förmåga att trollbinda publiken med sina fysiska konster. Snart har han blivit wrestlingvärldens starkast lysande stjärna.Bakom sig har Johnson en uppväxt i en familj där fribrottningen alltid har varit närvarande, på gott och ont. I skuggan av en berömd pappa, och dennes svaghet för ”livets goda”, har Dwayne Johnson tvingats navigera genom både ekonomisk och känslomässig otrygghet, besvikelser och stängda dörrar.Det är också de erfarenheterna som, tillsammans med en omtalad förmåga att förutspå vad publiken vill ha, ligger till grunden för vad han själv har pratat om som ett möjligt nytt kapitel i livet: en karriär inom politiken.I avsnittet medverkar Messiah Hallberg, komiker, programledare och tidigare wrestlingentreprenör, och Amy Nicholson, filmkritiker på tidningen The Los Angeles Times.Klippen i avsnittet är hämtade från WWE:s Youtubekanal, The Joe Rogan Experience, PBD Podcast, What Now? With Trevor Noah, Movieclips, The Oprah Winfrey Network, Vanity Fair, Fox News, Dwayne Johnsons X-konto.

Pain & Gain is Michael Bay's magnum opus, a razor-sharp dissection of the American id. This movie has it all: Con artistry, prosperity gospel, and drugs, drugs, drugs! It also features career-best performances of Dwayne Johnson, Mark Wahlberg, and Anthony Mackie, and it's easily Bay's best movie. Indeed, it's a look at an alternate career for Johnson where he could play interesting, complicated, vulnerable characters like he does in this movie. Instead, he made a bunch of movies with big cars and/or gorillas. Still, Pain & Gain is an absolute blast and we had a great time breaking it down, marveling at how much fun it is and how well it predicted what America would feel like in 2025. Next week: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long!

This week on Bros, Foes & Heroes, we jump into Part 3 of our All-Star Superman deep dive, covering issues 7–9 — and things get wonderfully weird. We talk Bizarro world (and the lonely genius ZiBarro), Superman's DIY rocket escape, bizarre Justice League knock-offs, and what happens when two other Kryptonians show up and decide Earth needs a new management team (spoiler: it doesn't go well). Along the way, we get sidetracked on everything from the Superman movie's perfect “golly” moments to popcorn salt overload, James Gunn's Peacemaker, the future of DC movies, and the tragic downfall of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in our hearts. It's part myth, part Silver Age fever dream, part love letter to Superman — and all chaotic fun. Tune in as we build toward the final chapters of this classic run and gear up for the big Superman movie talk coming Wednesday! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Long before he raised the People's Eyebrow, dropped the People's Elbow, and laid the smackdown on the candyass world of Hollywood, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson ran a jewelry theft ring in Waikiki. He and his peers worked the posh shopping district, snatching and grabbing whatever they could get their hands on and then pawning their haul for cold, hard cash. As a result, he was arrested nearly ten times before he turned 17 years old. But perhaps the only thing more insane than that story is the tale of how Dwayne Johnson transcended a life of petty street crime to become one of the biggest cultural icons of the 21st century.

Amanda Jones has had quite a career, as evident in this really insightful conversation about her journey as a film and television composer. One of her latest projects, Number One on the Call Sheet, is a prolific, eye-opening two-part Apple TV+ documentary featuring candid conversations with some of the entertainment industry's biggest stars, like Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Jamie Foxx, Idris Elba, Whoopi Goldberg, Viola Davis, Denzel Washington and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, to name just a few.Amanda's career includes BET's Twenties from Lena Waithe, OWN's Cherish the Day, produced by Ava DuVernay and A Black Lady Sketch Show, produced by Robin Thede and Issa Rae. We learn about the empowerment she received from this powerful group of Black women so early in her journey.Amanda earned her first Emmy nomination for Home, an Apple TV+ series and became the first Black woman nominated for an Outstanding Music Composition for a Documentary Series or Special (Original Dramatic Score) Emmy. Later, Amanda was awarded a Daytime Emmy Award for Home.The idea of following one's passion resonates heavily throughout this conversation. Amanda shares that her love of sounds, more specifically music, started around the age of 3. After graduating from Vassar College and later, studying film scoring and orchestration at Berklee College of Music, she landed an internship with Hans Zimmer and it was an opportunity at Lionsgate that helped give her a more 360-degree sense of the business side of things.Other takeaways from this multifaceted chat hone in on creating a sonic language for films and TV, the importance of asking questions, communication and collaboration during the creative process, having a strong creative voice, knowing when to delegate as well as fighting off stigmas reserved for women of color and mothers.A co-founder of Composers Diversity Collective, Amanda's other credits include Somebody Somewhere, Good Trouble, Naomi, Young Love, 7 Days, Dreamland: The Rise and Fall of Black Wall Street, Definition Please, Moving On, The Perfect Find, Mea Culpa, Jodie and the new Apple TV+ series, Murderbot.

They're the ones everyone looks to for guidance, but who also just want to curl up with a good book and be left alone.Here's what makes them tick:- Three distinct life phases that shape their journey- A natural ability to see the bigger picture- The need to retreat and recharge before sharing their wisdom- That unique quality where people feel their presence even when they're being quietWhy This MattersWhether you're a 6/2 yourself or have someone important in your life with this profile, understanding this dynamic can transform relationships and self-acceptance.

The Craic is back! Petesy Carroll is joined by the usual suspects, Chuck Mindenhall and Ben Fowlkes, to break down all the latest headlines. They kick things off by discussing Ilia Topuria, who's set to fight at UFC 317 on June 28th — but who's his opponent? The lads weigh in on who they think would make for Topuria's most exciting matchup (03:58). One of those opponents is Islam Makhachev, but does Makhachev want to fight Ilia, or move up to welterweight to face the winner of Jack Della Maddalena vs. Belal? The trio explore what the lightweight champions options are (07:52). Staying with the welterweight division, the conversation shifts to Ian Garry's recent decision win over Carlos Prates.

Meanwhile, over in the PFL, Dakota Ditcheva is making waves — not in the cage, but online. Her recent social media posts suggest growing frustration. The crew unpacks the situation and what it might mean for the promotion's image (20:35). Next, the focus turns to UFC Iowa, where Ben Fowlkes shares insights from his recent conversation with Reinier de Ridder ahead of his bout with Bo Nickal. Can RDR derail the Bo Nickal hype train?

On this impromptu Easter Day installment of the podcast, Chauncey DeVega reflects on our collective discombobulation (and mass disinhibition), building our inner Noah's Ark to survive these dark times that are getting much worse and much faster with Trump's return to power, and the symbolism and metaphorical power of the Easter holiday and the spring season. Following through on the importance of building our inner Noah's Ark and filling it with things that bring us joy, Chauncey shares his thoughts on this year's WWE WrestleMania 41 event, and what should have been an epic bout between John Cena and Cody Rhodes with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson playing his part as "The Final Boss". Chauncey also shares what it was like to interview Peter Weller aka the star of Robocop at the C2E2 convention in Chicago last weekend. The titan Nikki Giovanni transitioned to the next stage of existence on December 9, 2024. This week's episode features Chauncey DeVega's conversation with Giovanni, which was shared here four years earlier, on December 8, 2020. *** Nikki Giovanni is one of America's greatest living poets. She has written dozens of collections of poetry as well as non-fiction and other work. Giovanni has received many awards and other honors including a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and three NAACP Image awards for literature. She was also a central voice in the Black Arts Movement. Giovanni is currently University Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech. Nikki Giovanni's new book is Make Me Rain: Poems & Prose.
