This week, Kelly is...gone, so Byron and a very special guest chat about the horrors of 2026 so far, before talking modern Creepy Kid™ flicks...and unfortunately AI, reviewing Eli Roth's "Ice Cream Man".

A silent ice cream vendor arrives in a suburban town and hands out treats that turn the local children into homicidal maniacs. It is the first theatrical release from The Horror Section, Roth's new studio co-founded with Bloody Good Horror's Jon Schnaars. Made for roughly 5.5 million dollars, with about 10 percent of the company sold to around 2,500 fans through the investment platform Republic. TALKING POINTS Where Eli Roth sits now after Borderlands, the low-budget theatrical horror model and why five million is the sweet spot, the practical-versus-CGI blend, the teen paralysis lore hole, and the AI question: Roth's initial denial, the later walk-back to a sketches-handed-to-an-AI-company framing, and what that does to how genre fans watch low-budget movies going forward.

Ultrarunning eventually becomes a mental problem. The body hurts, the race stops going to plan, and the question becomes what the best ultrarunners understand about continuing when quitting makes sense.Harvey Lewis has spent 30 years figuring that out. In part two of our conversation in Ohio, we get into the mental strategies behind Backyard Ultra, why different races require different mindsets, the failures that changed how Harvey competes, and what decades of Badwater, journey runs, and 200-milers have taught him about going farther than he thought possible.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Thumbnail photo by Romain MayambiTopics / Timestamps00:00 Harvey Lewis Intro01:15 The Mental Game of Ultrarunning10:47 Learning How Not to Quit14:06 Different Mindsets for Different Races16:55 Pilgrimages and Journey Runs23:31 What Failure Taught Harvey Lewis30:33 What the Best Ultrarunners UnderstandResources / LinksSalt Lake Foothills Trail Races Borderlands.ccHigh TonesRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

A man goes missing. Fifteen months later, his family finds a fresh concrete slab poured in his backyard. What's buried underneath changes everything. Five years ago, journalist Justine van der Leun started sending letters to Kwaneta Harris, a convicted murderer in a Texas prison. She was also a gifted writer, "Mama Detroit" to the women around her. She swore the story wasn't what it seemed. So Justine went digging. What she found was a decade-long relationship curdled, a body under a concrete slab, and a trail of stolen identities and lies. Who is Kwaneta Harris? From the team behind Borderlands, What She Buried is available now on The Binge Cases feed, wherever you get your podcasts.

Harvey Lewis is one of ultrarunning's most accomplished endurance athletes, but the more interesting question might be how a high school civics teacher from Ohio became capable of doing any of this. Badwater, Backyard Ultras, Barkley, 250-mile runs. Harvey has built an extraordinary career without making running his entire life.I spent a morning with Harvey at his home in Ohio, days before his 16th consecutive Badwater, trying to understand what makes Harvey Harvey. We talk about the dreamer and engineer he inherited from his parents, the teachers who changed his life, how running and teaching grew together, and why the hardest races have become something closer to pilgrimages.The conversation ends somewhere more personal, with Harvey remembering the person he still imagines waiting for him when things get hard.Thumbnail photo by Romain MayambiPlease give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps2:17 Harvey Lewis' Origins6:33 Harvey Lewis' Parents: The Dreamer and the Engineer18:39 Running and Teaching30:59 Running as PilgrimageResources / LinksTINAR Race Series | RegisterBorderlands.ccLa French TrailSubwhateverRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Hebben jullie er een beetje zin in? Wij wel. Zeker omdat de zon zich lekker gaat laten zien. Onze vreugde gaan we laten zien en voelen in een nieuwe episode van Einde van de Week Live. De hosts van vandaag zijn Jelle, JJ en Koos. De heren gaan met elkaar in discussie over een breed scala aan onderwerpen. Zo maakte Rockstar bekend dat ze op 27 augustus op Netflix een deep dive van GTA 6 de première laten beleven. Waarom Netflix? Wat hebben die betaald, of zit dat anders? En wat vinden we van deze aanpak? Ook kijken de drie heren naar de 25-jarige verjaardag van de Ghost Recon franchise. Hoe gaat Ubisoft dat vieren en vieren we de verjaardag met ze mee? Het antwoord op al die vragen krijg je in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 7 augustus 2026. Rockstar gaat meer van GTA 6 laten zien op Netflix Andere onderwerpen die behandeld worden zijn onder meer de reden waarom de Borderlands film zo hard flopte, de eerste beelden van de DLC van de laatste Mafia-game en de rating van Wolverine, die toch wel wat zegt over wat we van het spel kunnen verwachten.

Ciele helped change what running looked like, but the more interesting story is what sat underneath the aesthetic. This episode is for runners curious about how a hat brand became part of running culture without losing the product discipline that made it credible in the first place.What began as a film about Ciele turned into a deeper look at the rise of running as lifestyle, the influence of skate and snow culture, and the unreleased Miles hat that existed before Ciele had its name. Along the way, a portrait emerges of a brand whose visual identity was copied everywhere, while the craft, function, and ethos behind it were much harder to replicate.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Resources / LinksWatch the Ciele doc on YouTubeJosh Rosenthal on IGBorderlands.ccLa French TrailSubwhateverRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Their playful rapport sets the tone, as they dissect the impact of Lilith's character on the narrative and how she serves as a beacon for other characters, like Ava and Roland. They also explore the notion of mentorship in gaming, pondering how Lilith's leadership style contrasts with traditional military structure, leaning more towards a passionate, supportive approach. As the conversation unfolds, they touch on personal experiences with the game, from geeking out over national parks to the intricacies of character dynamics within the Borderlands universe. They even toss around the idea of Lilith's potential influence on future characters and story arcs, debating who she inspires and how her legacy might unfold in subsequent games. The episode is a delightful blend of humor, insightful commentary, and a look back at the gaming experiences that shaped their fandom, all while keeping the listener engaged and entertained throughout. Toward the latter part of the episode, the focus shifts to the broader themes of sacrifice and leadership in the Borderlands narrative. Joshua and TJ engage in a light-hearted yet profound discussion about the sacrifices made by characters like Roland and the implications of Lilith's decisions as a leader. They humorously liken her to historical figures, adding a layer of depth to their analysis. This exploration not only highlights the emotional weight of the story but also reflects on real-world leadership qualities. The episode wraps up with a teaser for future discussions, leaving listeners eager to dive back into the chaotic yet charming world of Borderlands, while pondering their own gaming experiences along the way.Takeaways:Lilith from Borderlands is a complex character who embodies both leadership and rebellion, influencing others while maintaining her unique style.The dynamics of mentorship between Lilith and characters like Roland and Ava highlight the importance of guidance in shaping heroes.Lilith's powers and her role as a Siren are central to the story, impacting not just her but also the fate of the Crimson Raiders.The podcast dives deep into how Lilith's character evolves from a rebellious spirit to a compassionate leader, reflecting on her relationships and sacrifices..Be sure to check out our merch, find extra content, and become an official member of Systematic Geekology on our website:https://systematic-geekology-shop.fourthwall.com/.Check out all of our annual theme for 2026 ("The Faces Behind Us") series:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/dd903597-98be-49ed-998c-5cdaf73b6af4.Hear more of our gaming episodes:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/409f2d81-9857-4426-b1f0-d8a02e58b150.Check out the first episode in our other series "Gamer's Garage":https://player.captivate.fm/collection/3706021e-22e5-4598-ae1d-732ec8e275a9.Check out other episodes with Joshua:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/642da9db-496a-40f5-b212-7013d1e211e0.Check out other episodes with TJ:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/f4c32709-d8ff-4cef-8dfd-5775275c3c5eMentioned in this episode:Check out our Fourthwall site for quite literally everything to do with our show!All SG merch, extra content, our youtube page, SG memberships, tips / donations, etc. can all be found at this one convenient spot!SG on FourthwallThe Anazao Podcast NetworkBe sure to check out the network website to see other podcasts trying to engage honestly with Scripture, Theology, Pop Culture, Martial Arts, Science, and more!Anazao Podcast NetworkBecome a member of Systematic Geekology on our Website!Check out the link to become a member of Systematic Geekology!

It became a fight over price, fashion, authenticity, and what running culture is supposed to protect.Josh and Inky Steve look at what the collaboration actually did, why Adidas seemed to gain all the upside while Satisfy absorbed the backlash, and what the circle pit revealed about how tribal running has become.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Resources / LinksBorderlands.ccLa French TrailSubwhateverRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Trail running in the Midwest looks different. No mountain towns. No towering peaks. Just a different kind of commitment. On the drive to Harvey Lewis's house, Josh and Sam Hartman explore what it means to build a trail running culture in flat country, and why some of the sport's deepest communities exist far from the places most runners imagine.Sam Hartman, founder of TINAR Races in Columbus, Ohio, argues that community matters more than scenery, why Midwest trail runners develop a different relationship with the sport, and how trail running becomes part of your identity when getting to the trails takes intention. It's a conversation about place, belonging, and a side of trail running that deserves far more attention.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Resources / LinksTINAR - Alley Trail ClassicBorderlands.ccRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack
Matthew Longo, The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain. The focus shifts from political elites to young activists in the Hungarian "borderlands." In late June 1989, inspired by a speech from Otto von Habsburg, a young woman named Maria and a man named Ferenc hatch an audacious plan in the city of Debrecen: they will throw a party—the Pan-European Picnic—at the Iron Curtain itself. Maria, showing incredible initiative in a country with few phones, begins calling government officials and border guards to organize the event. The original vision for the picnic was "euphorically ignorant": the organizers imagined a thin fence where Hungarians and Austrians could pass sausages and beer to one another. In reality, the Iron Curtain was a "death zone" several kilometers wide, filled with watchtowers, dogs, and layers of fencing. However, the process of de-electrifying and dismantling the fence was moving faster than expected. The organizers eventually secured a location near the town of Sopron and convinced the authorities to allow a one-time-only opening of a border gate, allowing Austrians to cross into Hungary to celebrate "European togetherness."

This one's a little different. Aaron, Matt, and Jonathan talk with Ken Salazar—former US Senator from Colorado, Secretary of the Interior under Obama, and Ambassador to Mexico under Biden—about why Democrats need to rethink their approach to the US-Mexico border and start treating immigration not as a liability to be managed, but a genuine opportunity to be seized. We also discuss the politics of Mexico and Ken's experiences with AMLO, Mexico's former insanely popular populist president, and Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's current insanely popular populist president. Aaron even tries to get a little feisty with Ken about his climate record, but fails spectacularly due to Ken's kind grandpa demeanor. Oh well.Check out Ken Salazar's new book, Borderlands.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Hardrock 100 gave aging trail runners something many of us didn't realize we needed: hope. Ludovic Pommeret broke the course record at 50. Courtney Dauwalter won again and still walked away chasing something more. If you've ever wondered whether your best running is behind you, this conversation is for that part of you.Josh reads Bryce Carlson's essay Hardrock 100 in real time, stopping throughout to explore why Hardrock rewards wisdom as much as fitness, why experience compounds in endurance sports, and why the stories we tell ourselves about getting older might be our biggest limitation.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps00:00 The Unexpected Gifts of Hard Rock02:29 The Significance of Ludovic Pommeret's Wisdom as Performance06:21 Stripping Away Excuses and Embracing Aging in Running08:20 Ludovic Pomerret's Record at 5009:39 Courtney Dauwalter's Continued Excellence15:00 The Field Size and Competition Dynamics17:48 Remarkable Feats: Tara Dower's Double22:37 Age as an Accumulation of WisdomResources / LinksBryce's articleBorderlands.ccLa French TrailSubwhateverRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

If you're building a brand, launching new products, or wondering how companies grow without abandoning what made them special, this conversation is for you.Thomas Cykana and Travis Wiseman pull back the curtain on HOKA's collaboration strategy, why they refuse to make "toy shoes," and how fashion found HOKA before HOKA ever chased fashion.

Since the Treaty of Lisbon entered into force in 2009,the European Union has faced numerous significant crises. At the same time, the Union's member states have largely proven unable or unwilling to amend the EU's treaties. While this has often created impasses and deadlocks, it has not stoppedthe process of European Integration. On the contrary, some scholars have argued that the EU almost relies on crises, as its member states often are only able to build consensus on further large steps of European integration in exceptional situations. Over the last fifteen years, significant developmentshave allowed the EU to respond to new challenges. Many of them have been enabled through creative interpretations of the EU treaties rather than formal amendments. In this conversation, Päivi Leino-Sandberg critically analyzes therecent application of the doctrine of living constitutionalism by EU institutions.

Western States and UTMB are often framed as opposite visions for the future of trail running. One protects through limits. The other protects through growth. But after publishing an episode on that tension, I received an unexpected response from Bob Crowley, former President of the International Trail Running Association (ITRA).Bob argues that both sides may be focused on the wrong thing. What follows is a conversation about culture, stewardship, local races, and whether the values that built trail running can survive success. Somewhere along the way, the debate stops being about Western States and UTMB and becomes something much bigger.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Resources / LinksWestern States Wants to Protect, UTMB Wants to GrowBob's Full Op-edBorderlands.ccLa French TrailRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack
Long before Putin's invasion of Ukraine, conflict was simmering on Europe's borders. In overlooked territories in eastern Europe, the eastern Mediterranean and the Caucasus –from the Balkans and Cyprus to Abkhazia on the fringes of Georgia – local disputes spiral into regional crises, global alliances are forged and broken, and power is brokered while the West looks elsewhere. In this episode, acclaimed correspondent Hannah Lucinda Smith joins Adam McCauley to discuss her new book Hinterlands: Journeys through Europe's Unfinished Frontiers. She draws on vivid first-hand experience to paint a gripping portrait of Europe at its edges - and the struggles that will define its future. Hannah Lucinda Smith is a journalist known for reporting across the Middle East and Europe for The Times of London, The Atlantic, WIRED, and others. She is the author of Erdogan Rising, an account of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rise to power, and Zarifa, the memoir of Afghan human rights activist Zarifa Ghafari. Adam McCauley is a journalist, academic, and policy analyst currently based in Ottawa, Canada. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Western States and UTMB have become the two most influential institutions in trail running, but beneath the debate over lotteries, race series, and growth is a deeper question: when something becomes successful, how do you protect it?Josh explores why UTMB believes trail running is important enough to scale globally while Western States believes it's important enough not to.

What goes bump in the night giving Kyle a fright? This week it's The Borderlands aka Final Prayer (2013) directed by Elliot Goldner.

Today's guest is Claudette Zepeda, award-winning chef, mom, self-described border kid, poet, and author of the new cookbook “Cooking the Borderlands: Spice and Smoke Between Mexico and the States.” Claudette's book is a deeply personal celebration of the food, family, and culture that shaped her, from Tijuana and San Diego to Jalisco and beyond. Claudette joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the long road to writing her first cookbook, why she was determined to create something that would stand the test of time, and how her identity as a border kid informs everything she cooks. She shares stories about her family, her kids, the recipes they inspired, and the women who taught her resilience, creativity, and the power of the village. They also dive into recipes from “Cooking the Borderlands,” including her White Widow salsa, arroz poblano, birria, and the Chinese-Mexican dishes that reflect the food culture of Tijuana and Mexicali. Plus, Claudette talks about her San Diego airport restaurant project with Tony Hawk, her salsa macha collab with Señor Lechuga, and the life-changing experience of walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain.

As today's UFO conversation becomes increasingly centered on American military footage and government hearings, it's important to remember that this phenomenon has never respected borders. In this re-release of Somewhere in the Skies, Ryan revisits the 2004 Mexican Air Force UFO encounter, where infrared cameras aboard a military patrol aircraft captured multiple unknown objects during an official mission. Along with military testimony, radio transmissions, and reports delivered to Mexico's Secretary of Defense, the case remains one of the strongest examples of UFO activity beyond the United States. Joined by researcher Ruben Uriarte, Ryan explores extraordinary cases spanning Mexico and the American Southwest, including the Cisco Grove encounter, the Carlos de los Santos incident, and the rumored Coyame UFO crash. Revisiting this conversation today serves as a reminder that the UFO mystery is global, deeply human, and far bigger than any one country's narrative.

Kacey Musgraves' album Middle of Nowhere finds the country outlaw taking a break from exploring her inner life to look outward, back to her roots: the regional stylings of Texas. She says the album was inspired by a sign in her hometown that read “Golden, TX: Somewhere in the middle of nowhere.” The album's sounds probe this same borderland mentality, encapsulating desert noir, Norteño, tejano, and soft rock. Plus, Willie Nelson. The result is a collection of songs that are funny, moving, and reaching back to the sound Musgraves established in her debut record 13 years ago. But the world of country has changed since then – artists like Ella Langley have taken over the charts, cribbing Musgraves' sound while courting a more conservative audience.

Consciousness is this amazing, mind-bending riddle. It's the only thing any of us truly knows. We experience everything else in life through it. And yet we barely understand it. We don't know what it's made of or how it works or why it exists. But scientists and theorists have been trying to answer those questions, and have made some startling discoveries. The science writer Michael Pollan, known for books like “The Omnivore's Dilemma” and “How to Change Your Mind,” spent five years on the vanguard of this research. And his new book, “A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness,” shows that the closer you look at consciousness, the weirder it gets. I asked Pollan to walk through some of the places his mind wandered on this journey — including the role of the body and feelings in consciousness, fascinating studies that provide evidence for plant sentience, the researchers who have abandoned their old theories after trying psychedelic drugs, and the possibility that consciousness may not emerge from inside us at all. “I've entered this ‘never say never' realm with this research,” Pollan told me.
