Widely heralded as the most provocative Norwegian writer since Ibsen and simply ‘one of the finest writers alive' by the New York Times, Karl Ove Knausgaard's five-part autobiographical novel sequence My Struggle sent him into the stratosphere of literary fame, inspiring a wave of imitators that continues to this day and cementing his place as an outspoken giant of contemporary literature. A long-time resident in London, Karl Ove now turns his attention to the capital for the first time in The School of Night, transporting us back to 1980s Deptford and into the psyche of Kristian Hadeland, a deliciously loathsome young Norwegian willing to do anything for art and for fame. Joining us for an exclusive conversation with the author of Boy Parts, Eliza Clark, Karl Ove will take us on an unforgettable journey into the darkness of the human psyche and explore the Faustian pacts we make for artistic glory.

25 movies and 0 hits: it's been a particularly rough quarter for Hollywood. But as I discuss with the cultural commentator David Masciotra, it's actually been a pretty strong quarter in terms of movie quality. From Paul Thomas Anderson's “One Battle After Another” and Jennifer Lawrence's astonishing performance in “Die My Love” to a glitteringly bald Emma Stone in “Bugonia” and Ethan Coen's “Honey Don't!”, Hollywood is producing high quality, relevant material. One problem, however, is that Gen Z has abandoned cinema. Another is that Hollywood's penchant for movies dominated by memorably uncompromising female leads like Stone and Lawrence might be out of step with a broader culture still imprisoned by a nostalgia for a dominant masculinity. Perhaps that's why “One Battle After Another”, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio as a pathetically redundant Sixties radical, is the one hit of the season. And it may also be why the excellent Springsteen biopic, “Deliver Me From Nowhere”, featuring a clueless Bruce trying to find himself by recording “Nebraska”, was such a flop. No, men don't matter, either in Hollywood or in life. Even when they do. One Battle After Another (Paul Thomas Anderson) The season's sole commercial success ($70 million) works because it satirizes everyone. DiCaprio's incompetent ‘60s radical provides comic relief, but it's Chase Infinity's cynical Gen Z daughter who steals the film (even if Gen Z'ers have given up going to the movies). Anderson's Pynchon adaptation makes absurdity central to American identity, both then and now—the villainous Christmas Adventures Club in golf attire perfectly capturing MAGA's ridiculousness.Die My Love (Josephine Decker) Jennifer Lawrence delivers an astonishing performance confirming she's among Hollywood's greatest actors. The film died at the box office despite critical praise—perhaps because audiences resistant to female-dominated narratives won't show up even for exceptional work like this. Her assertiveness and complexity highlights exactly what's missing from contemporary male performances.Bugonia (Yorgos Lanthimos) Emma Stone continues her fearless run in this cultish, visually striking film. Her performance demonstrates creative risk-taking unavailable to today's male leads. Jesse Plemons plays the archetypal basement-dwelling conspiracy theorist—masculine id of our internet age. Its commercial failure suggests audiences aren't ready for cinema that interrogates rather than celebrates American mythology.Honey Don't! (Ethan Coen) Coen's lesbian B-movie homage to film noir, which David Masciotra loved, deserved better than its catastrophic box office. Margaret Qualley's detective becomes a feminist hero fighting idiotic patriarchy without losing entertainment value. Set in Bakersfield and focused on religious hypocrisy, it feels both familiar and innovative. Its death proves even clever, relevant films can't entice Gen Z'ers back to the movies.Deliver Me From Nowhere (James Mangold) The season's most revealing failure. The film captures Springsteen's Faustian bargain—trading artistic integrity for superstardom, making “Nebraska” his final serious work before “Born in the USA”'s commercial conquest. It depicts fierce masculine anxiety through Bruce's mentally ill, violent father and his own depression. Yet it bored audiences with its introspective approach—ultimate proof that even films about masculine crisis can't reach audiences imprisoned by nostalgia for an imaginary American masculinity that never existed.

Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, and Kevin Tumlinson as they discuss the week's entertainment news, including stories about the Frankfurt Book Fair, New York Comic Con, and the Pushkin job. Then, stick around for a chat with Thomas Olde Heuvelt! Thomas Olde Heuvelt is an international bestselling author from The Netherlands. His breakthrough novel HEX was published in over twenty-five countries and hailed as 'totally, brilliantly original' by Stephen King and as 'phenomenal, phenomenal' by film director Mike Flanagan. His follow-up novels Echo and Oracle have since seen global publication, the former boasts, according to the Guardian, 'possibly the most frightening prologue ever written', while the latter was judged by The New York Times to be his 'sharpest, most compelling work to date'. His newest novel, Darker Days, is a devastating modern take on the Faustian bargain. It will be published in the US with Harper Books and in the UK with Bantam in October 2025. Olde Heuvelt, whose last name in Dutch dialect means 'Old Hill', was the first translated author to win a Hugo Award, in 2015. He lives in the south of France with his partner and pet lizard.

In this week's episode of Book Talk for BookTok, Jac and Amy sit down with Natasha Siegel, author of As Many Souls as Stars, a hauntingly beautiful sapphic romantasy inspired by the Faustus legend. Together, they explore how Natasha's background in historical fiction, romance, and Jewish-Danish heritage shaped her richly imagined world of love, loss, and the meaning of the soul. Through the lenses of literary analysis and character psychology, we unpack: How Natasha's research for Solomon's Crown and The Faithless informed her fantasy world-building The subversion of the Faustian Bargain trope and why Cybil's resistance makes the story unforgettable Why sapphic romance was essential—not optional—for the emotional truth of Miriam and Cybil's journey The book's exploration of humanity, identity, and transformation Which side characters Natasha wishes she could have written more of (and what might come next) If you love sapphic fantasy, queer romance, and emotionally charged romantasy with literary depth, this conversation is for you. As Many Souls as Stars combines feminine power, moral complexity, and lush romantic tension, making it a must-read for fans of T. Kingfisher, Samantha Shannon, and Alix E. Harrow. About the Guest: Natasha Siegel is a London-based author of historical fiction, fantasy, and romance. Her debut, Solomon's Crown, was a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice. Her latest, As Many Souls as Stars, reimagines the Faustus myth through a sapphic lens, blending moral temptation with tender humanity.

Happy Halloween, listeners! This month on Collecting Issues, the monthly comic book book club, Michael and Benjamin skirt the rules to cover an anthology: Come Find Me: An Autumnal Offering.This 2024 one-shot is published by the new, creator-owned DSTLRY Comics. It's an... interesting business model of limited digital runs and resellable digital rights. (Wait, did we just buy an NFT? Is this the blockchain?)Curated by horror maestro Becky Cloonan, Come Find Me is a collection of six chilling mini-stories steeped in folk and medieval horror. Join us as we apply "useful frameworks" (much to Michael's disgust) to break down every tale in this unnerving collection from a lineup of incredible female and non-binary creators.We discuss:"Devil's Trill" (Hamlet Machine): A sexy, weird, and wordless Faustian pact that sets a spectacular gothic tone."Portorium" (Becky Cloonan): A classic tale of grave robbery, Roman gods (hello, Orcus), and why you should never steal from the dead."Down by the Water" (Molly Mendoza): A beautiful, abstract, and unsettling story of gossip, grief, and... frog spawn?"Coal &Clover" (Vanessa R. Del Rey): A straightforward folk horror revenge story set in a brutal American company town. Don't make deals with the Fae!"La Chéta" (Celine Loup): The one that left us scratching our heads. A sketchy, Alpine tale of a sexy widow and... well, we're still not sure."Warmth of the Hunt" (E.M. Carroll): An absolute banger to finish the anthology. A stunning, timeless depiction of the Wild Hunt with tattoo-worthy art.Which stories gave us "oozing dread" and which one was less fright and more...?Follow the Podcast:Join the Discord and read alongRead Our SubstackFollow us on InstagramFollow us on TiktokWatch us on YoutubeNext Comic:Local Man, a deconstruction of the Big Guns and Pouch era of 90's comics by Tim Seeley and Tony FleecsTime Stamps:00:00 Introduction to 'Come Find Me'01:33 Overview of DSTLRY Comics04:01 Exploring the Anthology's Themes04:53 Spotlight on Becky Cloonan09:03 Diving into 'Devil's Trill'21:32 Analysis of 'Portorium'32:04 Molly Mendoza's 'Down by the Water'36:20 Unraveling the Mystery of the Drowned Lover38:33 The Grim Trysts and Henry's Dark Secrets39:54 The Frog Spawn Mystery and Henry's Duality44:17 Medieval Horror and the Tale of Coal & Clover44:37 The Dark Art of Vanessa Del Ray48:57 The Folkloric Influence in Horror Comics01:04:17 The Wild Hunt and the Art of EM Carroll01:10:32 Final Thoughts and Upcoming Reads Hosted on Acast.

Jim talks with Alex Ebert about the ideas in his Substack essay "New Age and the Religion of Self: The Anatomy of a Rebellion Against Reality." They discuss the meanings of New Age and religion, the New Thought movement, the law of attraction, manifesting, Trump's artifacts of manifestation, the unmooring from concrete artifacts, individual and collective hallucinations, intersubjective verification of the interobjective, the subjective-first perspective, epistemic asymmetry as the cool, New Ageism's constant reference to quantum physics, manifesting as a way to negate social responsibility, the odd coincidence of leaving the gold standard and New Ageism, spiritual bypassing, a global derealization, new retribalized collective delusions, the Faustian bargain of AI, rationality as a virus, the noble lie, indeterminacy as a sign of emergence, nostalgia as a sales pitch, regaining the sense of hypocrisy, localized retribalizations, GameB as a series of membranes, and much more.

Topher Gardner returns to Nephilim Death Squad for a deep dive into BIOCHAR: how it's made, why it's not just “charcoal,” and how its diamagnetic charge can help remediate glyphosate and clean up water. We also get into structured water, fascia conductivity, cloud seeding and weather steering, soil rehab for homesteads, and the “little season” theory behind lost building tech (domes, indestructible stonework) and why modern convenience is the real Faustian bargain.Topher shares practical how-tos (DIY smokeless fire-pit method, rain catch + biochar filters), why rivers are “juvenile” from particulates, the obesity–glyphosate link, and why small gardens + hoop houses matter even if the sky is dirty.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's bold move to create a public-private pipeline consortium, forcing a political showdown with Ottawa and British Columbia over energy infrastructure. They examine Alberta's potential "Faustian bargain," which is to accept federal involvement through carbon capture subsidies in exchange for pipeline approval. They warn that this could transform Alberta's market-driven economy into something resembling the government-dependent "Laurentian capitalism" of central Canada. In the second half, they address the growing problem of "AI slop"—mediocre, artificially-generated content flooding digital platforms—and its impact on productivity and authentic human communication.

What happens when you mix Keanu Reeves, a scenery-chewing Al Pacino, and a Faustian bargain?Andrew Neiderman's novel was originally going to be adapted in the early 90s, directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Brad Pitt, but casting Satan proved difficult and so the project was halted.Speak of the devil, the O.J. Simpson trial gave new life to this story, and everyone became interested in courtroom drama and corrupt lawyers. The movie was resurrected, with Keanu Reeves choosing it over Speed 2, and the production desperate to entice Al Pacino to play the devil. Maybe they made a deal with the devil? In a bizarre twist worthy of the film itself, a copyright violation lawsuit forced the studio to digitally amend key scenes, proving that even fictional devils face real-world consequences.Inspired by John Milton's Paradise Lost, Dante's Inferno, and the Faust legend woven into late 90s Manhattan, The Devil's Advocate remains a fascinating time capsule of '90s excess while asking timeless questions about the price of success and the susceptibility of human ambition and greed.

Halloween season always brings a wave of paranormal films, and this year is no different. The Conjuring franchise is still raking in millions, turning Ed and Lorraine into pop culture icons. A new film titled "Him," from the production company of Jordan Peele, is grabbing headlines, seemingly centered around a football star who looks like he's being offered a Faustian pact with the devil in order to reach his goals. Even from the trailer alone, the film is already drenched in occult and blatantly blasphemous imagery. Another supposed Halloween treat is the theatrical release of Shelby Oaks, from a former movie critic who stated that his childhood in a cult has shaped the path he is on today, as his debut horror film is centered around the world of paranormal investigators. These movies thrive during Halloween, and audiences eat them up, but here's the real question: what's behind the stories, the symbols, and so-called entertainment? What spiritual influences are at work, and what are you actually being sold when Hollywood packages the demonic as a blockbuster thriller?   Follow Good Fight Ministries on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodfightministries    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodfightministries    Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/goodfightmin    TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodfightministries    Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodfight    Hollywood's War on God https://www.goodfight.org/product/hollywoods-war-on-god/ Harry Potter: A Spirit Conspiracy? https://www.goodfight.org/product/harry-potter-a-spirit-conspiracy/    ☑️ HELP US REACH 300,000 YOUTUBE SUBSCRIBERS! https://tinyurl.com/Subscr2GF

For anyone who has seen Michael B. Jordan's excellent new movie Sinners, it's clear that any sort of deal with the devil - what has become known as the Faustian Bargain - is still very much alive. So relevant, in fact, that cultural historian Ed Simon has a book, just out in paperback, about its enduring relevance entitled Devil's Contract. From Shakespeare and Goethe to Thomas Mann and Donald Trump, Simon argues, the Faustian Bargain is more than just a literary trope. In fact, he suggests, it is as relevant today, in our social media age of the Mephistophelian Donald Trump as it was in the German Reformation of the equally populist Martin Luther. The Art of a Deal with the Devil. And we all know how it ends. Go and see Sinners. Spoiler warning: not without the spilling of a great deal of innocent blood. 1. The Faustian Bargain is Fundamentally About Irrationality Despite knowing the terrible consequences, Faust signs the contract anyway. As Simon explains, "if you know that the devil is real and that the Devil collects souls at the end of your life, then like you'd never sign on the dotted line. And yet these characters continually do." This captures our human tendency to act against our own best interests.2. The Contract Makes It Modern What distinguishes the Faust legend from earlier devil stories is the literal paperwork. Simon argues this bureaucratic element - signing on the dotted line - transforms it into a distinctly modern tale about legal systems, capitalism, and bureaucracy. It's not just about temptation; it's about documentation.3. AI is Our Latest Faustian Bargain Simon sees artificial intelligence as having "a shockingly obvious kind of Faustian gloss" - from the magic of conjuring something from nothing to the environmental destruction of massive server farms. We're trading our future for technological convenience, knowing the costs.4. Trump is Mephistopheles, Not Faust In Simon's reading, Trump isn't the one making the deal - he's the devil others make deals with. JD Vance becomes the perfect example: fully aware of what Trump is, yet "willing to seemingly abandon whatever principles he may have had in the past... for power alone."5. Sometimes Faust Wins (But Usually Doesn't) While Goethe's Faust finds redemption and salvation, most versions end badly. The American "Yankee Faust" tries to trick the devil but still gets his house burned down. The lesson? You might think you're clever enough to beat the devil, but the house always wins.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

For thousands of years, humans and fire had a deal. Fire exists because of the oxygen generated by life. Civilization exists because it partnered with fire.          Fire had co-evolved with Life. We carried fire to new places, fire gave us power to reshape the world. That ancient partnership made civilization possible—and breaking it may destroy us.The fires burning today aren't the fires our grandparents knew. They're faster, hotter, and more destructive than anything in recorded history. Forest fires that once burned every few years now explode into crown fires that kill everything. Grass fires race through suburbs faster than people can flee. Lightning-fast fuel conversion turns safe landscapes deadly in hours.How did we get here? A century of fire suppression broke nature's "herd immunity"—turning forests from parklike landscapes into overgrown tinderboxes. Climate change loaded the dice for extreme fire weather. Now we live in what fire historian Stephen Pyne calls the "Pyrocene"—a fire age replacing the ice ages.The ancient contract that made us human has become a Faustian bargain. We gained incredible power but lost the balance that kept fire manageable. Now fire is writing the rules. Learn how we need to toss all we thought about how fire use to work, and how we can play by those new rules. A CALL TO ACT: A Comprehensive On-line Database of Eco-Solutions"TRUMPING TRUMP" Database for the New American Resistance Revolution

Selling your soul to the Devil.  It sounds like something out of Faustian legends or a horror movie.  But the truth is that people willingly enter into agreements with evil spiritual entities in order to reap material rewards (fame and fortune) in exchange for furthering their evil agenda.  Unfortunately, people can also enter into these agreements indirectly by exposing themselves to occult influence and opening themselves up to false spirituality.  If you were to tell these people – you are selling your soul to the Devil, they would dismiss you.  But they are slowly corrupted by the demonic forces until they end up doing their will anyway.  Unlike fallen angels, demons cannot physically manifest.  They can only possess and corrupt.  And selling your soul to the Devil is one of their favorite ways to achieve their goals.  In this week's podcast, we will discuss the reality of selling your soul to the Devil and how it works.

We offer today two examples of eerie rock music - notable records that have been inspired by horror literature, and classic suspense. H.P. Lovecraft's folky psychedelia, and Paul Williams' soundtrack for Phantom of the Paradise both fit the bill for spine tingling tunefulness.Rock's dramatic possibilities seem obvious, but have rarely been successful. Theater would seem to be the ideal medium for rock music, but early attempts to mix the two were awkward because creators, trying to appease the commercial audiences of the late 1960s, were not attracting the young people — the folks who were actually listening to the cutting edge music of the time.  This, of course, changed over the years, as the young people matured into middle age, and now into late-life. Today, they flock to see shows like Dylan's Girl From the North Country. Rock is the standard musical vehicle for storytelling. PHANTOM OF THE PARADISEPaul Williams, the diminutive maestro of pop song craftsmanship starred in, and scored, Brian De Palma's 1974 re-imagining of Phantom of the Opera, a Faustian fever dream. The composer of “We've only just begun” (originally a bank commercial), and many other pop hits, put his considerable chops on the line for this cinematic effort - which flopped everywhere but Winnipeg, Canada for some reason, and the soundtrack went gold there.Williams, who started his career as a child actor, developed into a popular raconteur, a staple of late night television talk shows, and this exposure perhaps over shadowed his immense acting and musical talent. In this cut, “The Hell of It” his power is persuasive.HP LOVECRAFTGeorge Edwards, a folk singer from Chicago, teamed up with Dave Michaels, a versatile, multi-instrumentalist, to create the Psyche band, HP Lovecraft. The name was chosen by their benefactors, horror aficionados Bill Traut and George Badonsky at Dunwich Records (a label also named for one of the horror master's stories) - and the rest is history in the annals of Buried Musical Treasure. The lifespan of the group was brief, producing only two albums, with personnel changes happening practically from the beginning, but something significant was in the offing.Spin Spin Spin, from the group's second album is a good example of their unique mesh of folk style with classical flavors, featuring swirling harmonic pulsations - which conjure a mysterious aura. A definite time capsule from the Lava Lamp era.

"I quote a study that looked at  84 countries in terms of internal migration and India was dead last. That's not a knock against the culture. It's just not part of the culture that young women in particular leave home at 17, go to the other side of the country and work in a factory. You don't have that. So what's the phrase: Culture eats strategy for breakfast. Apple might have a plan, but  like good luck upending 5,000 years of Indian culture to make it happen." - Patrick McGee, author of "Apple in China" Fresh out of the studio, Patrick McGee, San Francisco correspondent for the Financial Times and author of "Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company" joined us in a conversation to unravel the extraordinary story of how the world's most valuable company became inextricably entangled with China. Patrick shared the backstory behind Apple's century-defining Faustian bargain and progressed through how he uncovered the untold story of Asia's contract manufacturing history through Apple's supply chain point of view. He unpacks the famous "Apple Squeeze" philosophy of paying suppliers minimally while providing invaluable training, and shares fascinating stories from characters like the ruthless negotiator Tony Blevins to the tragic figure of Jackie Haynes. Throughout the conversation, Patrick demonstrates how Apple inadvertently created China's contract manufacturing capabilities and explains why the company's current attempts to diversify to India face insurmountable cultural and political barriers. Last but not least, he argues that Apple's very success in China has become its greatest vulnerability, trapped in a relationship where going too fast risks Beijing's ire, while going too slow means remaining stuck in an increasingly untenable position.

Frank Lavin talks with Patrick McGee, the author of “Apple in China” and discusses how Apple came to enjoy enormous success in China and eventually came to pay a price for that success, which Patrick terms “Faustian.” It is a fascinating book that encompasses some of the more important themes in the world today, including Globalization, the rise of China, tech policy, and supply chains. Patrick suggest also reading “The Maniac” by Benjamin Labatut.

Trailblazing AI journalist Karen Hao comes all the way from Hong Kong to San Francisco to discuss the issues raised in her new book, Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI. Hao tackles the hard-hitting questions many people are afraid to face about the disruptive power of artificial intelligence and the forces driving its rapid ascent. A longtime AI insider with unparalleled access to OpenAI and its key players, Hao has spent years investigating the industry's hidden costs—human, environmental, and geopolitical. As a journalist whose award-winning work has been cited by Congress and featured in leading publications such as The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal and MIT Technology Review, she has become one of the most authoritative voices on AI today. Now Hao pulls back the curtain on the tech arms race reshaping our world in real time. From the breakneck rise of OpenAI and its Faustian bargain with Microsoft to the global supply chains powering AI's insatiable appetite for data, energy and human labor, she reveals the staggering scale of the industry's ambitions—and its consequences. With exclusive behind-the-scenes insights, including the dramatic firing and reinstatement of Sam Altman (a highly public corporate drama that began just days after Altman talked AI ethics on the Commonwealth Club stage), Hao will discuss not just a corporate saga but a crucial examination of the future of power, technology and society itself. Join us for this urgent and thought-provoking conversation about the past, present, and future of AI—what's at stake, who stands to gain, and who is being left behind.   Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California is a nonprofit public forum; we welcome donations made during registration to support the production of our programming.

On the latest LGM podcast I had the good fortune to speak with Dr. Ian Ona Johnson about his book Faustian Bargain: The Soviet-German Partnership and the Origins of the Second World War. The subject is interwar cooperation between the Red Army and the Reichswehr, a subject near and dear to my own academic interests.

Trey reviews Ryan Coogler's Sinners: a $100-million genre-bending vampire western horror musical set in 1930s Mississippi. It's Coogler's boldest, weirdest, and most ambitious film to date, blending myth, legacy, identity, and the cost of assimilation into a chaotic cinematic experiment. Trey unpacks the film's anti-genre intentions, its Faustian themes, its wild tonal swings, and the standout performances from Michael B. Jordan and breakout star Miles Caton. Is it a masterpiece? A mess? Both? This is a conflicted breakdown of a movie that might not work...but absolutely demands to be seen.(00:00) Ryan Coogler(01:26) Non-Major Spoiler Review(02:03) What Works(08:24) What Struggles(12:49) The Extra Credits of Sinners(14:56) Final ThoughtsThe Extra Credits YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠How to link Patreon to Spotify and Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd: ⁠The Extra Credits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: The Extra Credits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reddit: r/TheExtraCredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠@theextracredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠@theextracredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com

In the week that the world changed, we're talking about the last time things got this crazy.   Katherine Arden is the author of The Warm Hands of Ghosts — a novel set in the trenches of the First World War and on the borderline between horror and fantasy. It's a Faustian pact made in No-Man's Land, where our memories are the price we pay for keeping ourselves alive.   In this episode we talk a lot about history, about inflection points and moments of no-return. We talk about how systems of power can seem so complex that they lead only to ruin – but we also talk devils and fairies and angels and brave, brave nurses with scarred hands.   It's a joy of a conversation, about the most hideous time to be alive.   Enjoy!   Other books mentioned:   The Bear and the Nightingale (2017), by Katherine Arden The Buffalo Hunter Hunter (2025), by Stephen Graham Jones Wasteland: The Great War and the Origin of Modern Horror (2018), by W.

     Trump's war on free speech escalates with the "Take It Down Act," a satire-slaying Trojan horse, as he targets the Constitution and Thomas Massie as well     Meanwhile, the CIA's satanic puppet masters arm jihadists to butcher Christians in Syria they supported with A-10 Warthogs inter alia     Enter Unreal Milk, a lab-grown climate con blessed by Trump's USDA cronies and Bill Gates' millions—no cows, all control!     The elder-killing scandal: midazolam and morphine as chemical executioners, courtesy of Hancock's stockpiles.     Peter McCullough's bird flu grift collapses under scrutiny, but real heroes—like a West Texas doc defying BigPharma & MMR's—shine through NBC's smear campaign.2:30 Trump Wants Massey Gone, Constitution Next, and Satire Outlawed“Continuing Resolution” is an oxymoron.  They CONTINUE to kick the can down the road expecting something different because they have no RESOLUTION, simply feckless cowards.  But the manufactured outrage is NOT about the CR or budget — just like the Canadian tariffs are NOT about fentanyl.  Meanwhile, Trump pushes the “Take It Down Act”, a trojan horse anti-speech bill to outlaw satire.  Heres how it could be fixed — but won't be fixed. 15:45 The Importance of Constitutional Government VS Trump Ego-nomicsA much needed lesson for our time. 25:59 The Who & Why  Behind Trump's Attack on Massie Promises Bought, Promises Paid — BOUGHT & PAID It's easy to see…follow the money.  42:07 Trump Violates Due Process & Law to Follow His Masters: ADL & GreenblattIsrael's shadowy influence looms large. Is this anti-Semitism or anti-Netanyahu-ism? 57:10 CIA's Satanic Shadow Government Unleashes Jihadist Hell: Christians ButcheredFrom Afghanistan to Syria, they've armed bloodthirsty jihadists—like the Al-Qaeda poster child now slaughtering thousands in Latakia—with A-10 Warthogs and heavy weapons, all to topple Assad and install a terrorist worse than ever. Door-to-door executions, women paraded naked and shot, kids forced to kill their families—these U.S.-backed monsters proudly post their atrocities online, screaming "Allah Akbar" over bleeding corpses.

But wait—who's in charge? The USDA, meant for farm-fresh fare, bizarrely claims jurisdiction over this petri-dish potion, while the FDA sits on the sidelines. Critics cry foul: no cows, no agriculture—yet Trump's crew, including Brooke Rollins, rubber-stamps it alongside mRNA jabs for livestock! Bill Gates and Israel fuel the frenzy, pumping millions into this “no-milk milk” to dodge methane-farting cows. It's an unreal saga that reeks of the climate MacGuffin BS2:30:41 Chemical Restraints Exposed: Midazolam & Morphine Used to Kill the Elderly During “Covid”A shocking revelation that'll turn your stomach!  Matt Hancock's UK midazolam stockpile and GlaxoSmithKline's Irish vaccine agenda hint at a sinister elder-cleansing scheme—pension relief by lethal injection 2:41:39 Peter McCullough's Bird Flu Grift Unravels He can't even make a coherent argument for his “lab leak” nonsense.  And other people are starting to point out his grift.  It's Alex Jones 2.0, spinning half-truths into a fear-fest to sell product.    But there are REAL wins with REAL doctors who have REAL character—like the West Texas family physician who's ditching vaccines.  NBC attacks him for their BigPharma masters but in doing so, they prove his point 2;57:37 What Happens to Gold When the Stock Market Drops by 10% or More?Historical data looks good for gold bugsIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-show Or you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to DavidKnight.gold for great deals on physical gold/silverFor 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to TrendsJournal.com and enter the code KNIGHTFor 10% off supplements and books, go to RNCstore.com and enter the code KNIGHTBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

And Trump tries to buy time with the egg crisis scrambling to find any egg-stra in any country (because no other country is killing off its food supply like USA).  Was it Biden? Yes.  But the partisan media doesn't give you full story 16:32 Turns out Biden Couldn't Even Sign His Own Name (at least didn't)Trump-sucker Proxy Media is so proud of their guy who can at least sign his name.  But apparently Trump endorsed the Blackrock checks with Panama prizes while the company is busy buying up ALL American homes…so American, so proud. 27:04 Ukraine's Kursk Calamity: Putin's Drone-Powered Trap Snaps Shut on Zelensky's Doomed ArmyZelensky's desperate bid to stall Putin and score a bargaining chips now handing Putin a jackpot of prisoners as Poland and US bicker over Starlink 53:54 Trump Cuts Radical College Funding as Shin Bet Exposes Netanyahu Funding HamasBacked by Trump's $4 billion war chest, Netanyahu's not just bombing—the bombshell revelation from Shin Bet (Israeli Security Agency) says he's funding Hamas Trump cuts $400 MILLION in funding to wealthy Ivy League college.  Conservative media says the college radicals want to destroy Western Civilization and are racist.  So what's new?  Funding these radical seminaries has long been unconstitutional and their racism has long been unconscionable and institutional, but ignored until now 1:33:54 Trump's Gaza AI Satire Sparks Free Speech FirestormAn AI-generated video mocking Trump's wild idea to transform Gaza into a glitzy Vegas-style paradise —complete with bearded belly dancers and casino swagger—started as an inside joke, only to explode when Trump himself snatched it up and flaunted it.  Was he unaware that it was satire or was he infatuated with all the gold statues of himself?  Either way the creators say satire should be off limits with AI.  THEY COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG.  That's exactly the opposite of where the real danger of AI lies 1:51:58 Trump's Punishment of the Elderly Who Got in His in Atlantic City & ScotlandJust like Pixar's “Up”, no one's home is safe if the Don wants it for his casino or golf course. 1:53:53 Soros, NGOs, and Satan's Puppet MastersForget just Soros—Brandon Smith's explosive article unveils how the Ford Foundation, Rockefellers, and a web of NGOs, fueled by the U.S. government and CIA, birthed Gay Pride and transgender insanity out of thin air, morphing them into the woke wildfire torching Western civilization.  But it's all orchestrated by unseen principalities to shred family, faith, and freedom. This isn't just politics; it's a spiritual war, and the stakes couldn't be higher 2:09:36 Massive Slaughter of Christians by U.S.-Backed Jihadis in Syria and AfghanistanA sickeningly familiar pattern of US allies murdering Christians since terrorists are our allies and partners in geopolitics 2:;17:14 From Chris Pratt's Pact to Kirby's Pain: Faith's Fierce Test in Life's Darkest Storms As a new Christian, Hollywood's golden boy Chris Pratt vowed to give God everything if his premature son survived—now he's preaching unashamed faith from the rooftops. But what happens when the miracle doesn't come? Cue the gut-punching story of YouTuber Joe Kirby, Off the Kirb Ministries, whose baby girl died despite desperate prayers, leaving him and his wife to wrestle with grief amid snowdrops and shattered dreams. 2:31:55 Senator Cassidy (R-LA) Pushes Again for MAHA Heroes to Sign a Pact with the Devil — AND SUCCEEDS!Swear your fealty to BigPharma.  Swear you will NOT investigate the plague of Autism and what causes it — BECAUSE CASSIDY ALREADY KNOWS.  Jay Bhattacharya folds and fails.  “Shall we do evil so that good may come?”  Bhattacharya supports MMR, measles fear mongering and now opposes any research on autism.  MAHA is a joke — HAHA.If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-show Or you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to DavidKnight.gold for great deals on physical gold/silverFor 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to TrendsJournal.com and enter the code KNIGHTFor 10% off supplements and books, go to RNCstore.com and enter the code KNIGHTBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.
