With a little help from filmmaker Ben Wheatley, our 2000 AD obsession kicks into high gear this week. The filmmaker behind such brutally banger movies as Kill List, A Field in England, High-Rise, and this year's Bob Odenkirk actioner, Normal, joins the podcast to discuss his eight-chaptered 2000 AD comic, Judge Dee, which recently wrapped in Prog 2487. Even better, Judge Dee is a sequel to an iconic Judge Dredd story from forty-two years ago, The Haunting of Sector House 9, which encouraged us to dig deep in the franchise's history. It's only fitting that Wheatley layers his 2000 AD tale with a classic, 80s-era cinematic sub-genre, the buddy-cop adventure. It's a little Lethal Weapon, but maybe even more Heart Condition, for those that can recall that complicated (ie problematic) Denzel Washington/Bob Hoskins ghost cop comedy. Ya see, PSI Judge Dee carries a secret. Wherever she travels, she's got a demonic passenger with her, Klato. However, this is not a case of a filmmaker making their way to comics for a little fun. Wheatley is a lifelong Prog reader. It's been his dream to finally scrounge around Mega-City One and add a little lore to this massive universe. Given the opportunity, he knew he wanted to springboard from The Haunting of Sector House 9, pick up where that horror left off, only decades later, and deliver his unique, grotesque, and funky perspective. This week, we're talking Judge Dredd, binary thinking, buddy cops, and surviving the dystopian present with Ben Wheatley. Judge Dee is written by Wheatley, illustrated by Simon Coleby, colored by Jack Davies, and lettered by Simon Bowland. Judge Dee chapters one through five can be found in Progs 2467 - 2471, and Judge Dee chapters six through eight can be found in Progs 2485 - 2487. You can find them all on 2000AD's website. You can follow Ben Wheatley on Instagram. This Week's Sponsors The Future is Calling! 2000 AD is the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, with new issues published every single week!

Welcome back to our ongoing "Candice's Perfect Day" series! This time, we're heading to Disney's Hollywood Studios for a day that's equal parts Toy Story, Star Wars, snacks, and spirited debate.Before we even make it to the park, we're tackling an important question: what is the catchiest song in all of Disney? (Spoiler: there are strong opinions involved.)Then it's time for a leisurely morning at Beach Club, breakfast with Mickey waffles, and a boat ride over to Hollywood Studios. From Toy Story Land to Galaxy's Edge, Candice maps out her ideal day—complete with Toy Story Mania, Alien Swirling Saucers, Slinky Dog Dash, Ronto Wraps, Black Caf cold brew, Blue Milk, and a trip aboard Rise of the Resistance.Along the way, we dive into one of our biggest Disney disagreements yet: why Hollywood Studios is in the running for Scott's favorite park but Candice's least favorite. Is the park brilliant storytelling, or is it Disney's biggest cash grab? We discuss theming, transitions between lands, the loss of the MGM Studios identity, and what Hollywood Studios still needs to become truly cohesive.Of course, no perfect day is complete without some favorite stops:• Baseline Tap House and its giant pretzel and charcuterie board• A photo with Sorcerer Mickey• Dinner at 50's Prime Time Café• Peanut butter and jelly milkshakes and peanut butter chocolate cake• One Man's Dream and the new animation experience• Evening strolls through Galaxy's Edge and Toy Story Land after dark• A nightcap from Hurricane Hanna's back at Beach ClubYou'll also hear which Hollywood Studios icons surprisingly do NOT make Candice's must-do list, including Tower of Terror, Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, Fantasmic!, and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.Everyone's perfect Disney day looks different, and that's what makes these conversations so much fun. So tell us: what would YOUR perfect Hollywood Studios day include?Come join the conversation on Facebook and Instagram, and let us know where you agree with Candice—and where you think she's completely wrong.Thanks for hanging out with us, and remember...There's always a great big beautiful tomorrow.#DisneyPodcast #HollywoodStudios #DisneyAdults #DisneyWorld #GalaxyEdge #ToyStoryLand #BeachClubResort #BaselineTapHouse #50sPrimeTimeCafe #HanginAtTheHangarBar

We're throwing you another psychagogic V8 Radio Podcast with your hosts Kevin Oeste and Mike "Q-Ball" Clarke! This time, the guys dive deep into the chaotic, unscripted realities of owning and building classic cars. From Kevin's hilarious (and soaked) misadventure driving his top-down '62 Ford Galaxie convertible through a torrential downpour without working windshield wipers, to Mike's update on his ongoing '67 GTO project, the garage banter is in full gear. Kevin also shares a detailed recap of his recent trip to Washington, D.C. with SEMA, advocating for the "Right to Modify" and explaining how advanced safety tech impacts the future of hot rodding. Plus, the V8 Speed and Resto Shop Engine Shop is absolutely humming with engine builds, including Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Cadillacs, and a very stubborn Buick 350. Topics Covered The Anatomy of a Rainout: Kevin recounts getting trapped on the highway in his '62 Ford Galaxie convertible during a sudden storm with an inoperable hydraulic top and missing wiper arms. Engine Shop Chronicles: A look inside the booming V8 Speed and Resto Engine Shop, highlighting the trials of a finicky Buick 350 timing cover, numbers-matching Chevelles, and a rare Palisade Green '70 GTO. SEMA Takes D.C.: Kevin breaks down his recent trip to Washington, D.C., educating lawmakers on the ADAS Integrity Act and preserving our freedom to modify vehicles without government intervention. Tuning and Fuel Economy Woes: Kevin tries to solve the mystery of why his fuel-injected, overdrive Galaxy is suddenly getting worse mileage after a complete 20-year tune-up. PLUS: Automotive Trivia Questions (No Spoilers!) What does the "SC" stand for in the classic American Motors Corporation (AMC) SC/Rambler produced from 1958 to 1969? How many total Pontiac Firebird convertibles were built across all generations?

Kalshi just brought crypto perps to the US, targeting a $90 trillion offshore market. Its Head of Crypto, John Wang, explains the bet, the risks, and who Kalshi is actually competing with. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor!

Kalshi — the prediction market exchange that raised $1 billion at a $22 billion valuation — launched the first CFTC-approved crypto perps, becoming the only domestic exchange approved on launch day. John Wang, Kalshi's Head of Crypto, joins Laura Shin to map how perpetual futures work, why Kalshi's guarantee fund and segregated accounts differ from what offshore venues provide, and how the exchange plans to compete with Hyperliquid, Coinbase, and Kraken. Wang pushes back on CME Group CEO Terry Duffy's claim that crypto perps are "a disaster waiting to happen," noting CME's own futures carry higher leverage than Kalshi's platform. He covers the ARCA and Galaxy block trades on Kalshi's prediction markets, insider trading protections built around athlete and congressional staff lists, and the regulatory filings separating Kalshi from perps on equities. Wang estimates only 0.2% of the US has adopted perpetual futures — the real growth has barely started. Host: Laura Shin, Host / Unchained Guests: John Wang - Head of Crypto at Kalshi Timestamps

Live from HeroesCon 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina, we're celebrating the beautiful kinship between cartoonists Kyle Starks and Chris Schweizer, the industry's most notable BFFs. Their meet-cute occurred ten years ago at HeroesCon, the most comic book comic convention in America, but it solidified during an adventure to claim a “Tiger Truck.” You can take a second to unpack that last sentence, or you can just go ahead and press play on this week's podcast episode. We discuss how a passion for comics, Kyle's location, and its relation to a town where Chris collects his lumber brought these friends together. Eventually, this would lead to collaboration on books such as Rock Candy Mountain, Mars Attacks, 6 Sidekicks of Trigger Keaton, and Karate Prom. They are two singular creators with the determination to do things their own way, but somehow, through the bickering, they make magic. It was a pleasure to sit across from these two while they regaled us, and a HeroesCon audience, with tales of triumph, defeat, and consternation. One's a grump. One's chill. One's an optimist. One's a realist. Who's who might surprise you. We're delighted to platform these comic book besties. Recently, Kyle Starks wrapped up Wrestle Heist for Image Comics, and it will land in bookstores on August 4th. He also completed Where Monsters Lie: Dead End via Kickstarter and is currently writing the Vertigo Comics series, End of Life. Follow him on BlueSky, Instagram, Patreon, and his Website. Chris Schweizer is weeks away from launching his next Kickstarter campaign for Outlaw's Apprentice: Broken Blade, the first graphic novel in his Appalachian-inspired swashbuckling fantasy series. You can also read it on Webtoon and Patreon. Follow him on BlueSky, Instagram, and his Website.

The Story That Beats Coronation Street (But Divides the Hosts) Stephen Wyatt returns after Paradise Towers to deliver a circus-themed finale to Season 25. Expanded from three parts to four at John Nathan Turner's request, this story follows the Doctor and Ace arriving at the psychic circus on the planet Seganax—except Ace hates circuses, and the Doctor seems unusually fascinated by performance, danger, and magic. It wins over behind-the-sofa panelists and pulls the highest ratings of McCoy's entire run (beating Coronation Street for the first time), yet one host finds it compelling while the other considers it nearly unwatchable. What makes the difference? Production Under Impossible Circumstances The asbestos discovery that plagued Silver Nemesis forced this finale into a makeshift tent rigged in the parking lot. The budget is visibly exhausted by this point, yet the production team managed to secure Jeffrey Durham (The Great Soprendo) as the first magic consultant since 1977 to coach McCoy in juggling. The explosion sequence near McCoy was supposed to be blown air with added effects—until last-minute testing showed it looked unconvincing, so they switched to live pyrotechnics without telling the lead actor. He didn't blink on set because he believed there wouldn't be a retake. The Doctor's Behavior: A Fundamental Divide One host sees a character temporarily set aside his usual competence for story purposes. The other sees the Doctor acting like a completely different person—gullible, clumsy, silly, and uncharacteristically unable to read situations. The proactive crime-fighter from Remembrance and The Happiness Patrol has vanished, replaced by someone who falls into obvious traps and does pratfalls. McCoy's physical comedy training makes the juggling work, but does the writing serve the character he's been becoming over the last three stories? The Satire Cuts Both Ways Whiz Kid represents fandom—earnest, excited, devoted to the circus's history. His reward is a cruel, unnecessary death played as harsh comedy. What's the point of making fun of fans, especially when the message seems to be that fans should be punished for their devotion? Meanwhile, the real family in the audience—who turn out to be the Gods of Ragnarok—are abstract divine beings demanding entertainment. Who is the story really criticizing? A Pantheon Problem The Gods of Ragnarok are named after Norse mythology's apocalypse, yet they look almost Egyptian with their eye-based design. They get referenced later in New Who (specifically with the Fifteenth Doctor), which raises the question: did this story earn that future callback, or does the massive concept introduced in Part Four feel tacked on? What does naming them after Ragnarok actually accomplish? Character Choices Captain Cook is largely despised—a manipulative bore whose presence never makes sense. Mags is the victim of a rushed werewolf transformation that doesn't commit to either wolf or cat form. Kingpin is confusingly established as the former circus leader, but the revelation lands without impact. Bellboy's name suggests something, but what? The food cart lady exists to expose hippies. Meanwhile, the Chief Clown—sinister, physically controlled, genuinely threatening—stands out as the most interesting antagonist, but even he doesn't quite fit the larger story. Does a Four-Part Circus Need to Be This Long? The production feels stretched, relying on repetitive moments (running through quarries, hiding in tents, escaping robots) that feel interchangeable by Part Three. Could this have been told in three parts? Would removing redundant sequences have tightened the narrative? Does the extended runtime serve the story, or does it expose the thinness of the plot? Production Highlights: Music: First original song for Doctor Who since The Gunfighters (1966). Performed by Rico Ross, who played Private Frost in Aliens. Magic Consultant: Jeffrey Durham (The Great Soprendo)—first since Talons of Weng Chiang (1977) Guest Star: Jessica Martin (Mags) returns to the role in Big Finish and will later play Queen Elizabeth in Voyage of the Damned Ratings: 5.0–5.3–4.8–6.6 (the finale pulls the highest numbers of McCoy's entire run) Coming Up Next: Friday (Patreon): Doctor Who: The Ultimate Adventure (1989 stage production with John Pertwee—the clearest footage available on YouTube). Following Wednesday (Main Feed): Colin Baker retrospective (hiatus episode).

Thirteen years after The Empire Strikes Back, the long-delayed finale arrived in 1996 — six episodes that brought the original trilogy to a close. Funding cuts had stalled production for more than a decade, but the conclusion was completed at last, with Anthony Daniels returning one final time as C-3PO, joined by Brock Peters as Darth Vader, John Lithgow's Yoda, and Ed Asner as Jabba the Hutt. Still carried by John Williams' score and the original sound effects, it's Return of the Jedi as you've never heard it. | #RRStarWarsLook for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Recorded live at Indiana Comic Convention - Holly Frey and Bryan Young gathered before a live audience to talk about the challenges facing the production of A New Hope, the original Star Wars film as George Lucas worked feverishly to complete the film as Fox got more and more impatient with how over schedule and over budget the film was. Still, he had some decisions to make.

Jace and Rocky break down all 13 DC releases for the week of June 17, 2026. They discuss Batwoman #4, where Kate Kane and Renee Montoya begin searching for Alice as the mystery involving Beth, the Darkseid cult and Gotham's elite finally starts coming into clearer focus. Absolute Flash #16 sends Wally and Linda deeper into their search for Ray Palmer as young Grodd leads them toward Gorilla City and the Rogues close in.

Deathstroke the Terminator #4 finds Rose Wilson saving Deathstroke before father and daughter struggle to connect during a tense conversation that forces Slade to confront what kind of parent he has become. Lobo #4 follows the Main Man's attempt to break into Superman's off-world "Fortress of Storitude," bringing him into conflict with Supergirl while Krypto and Dawg create their own chaos. Absolute Green Arrow #2 sees Dinah Lance and Merlyn questioning figures from Oliver Queen's past while the mysterious archer targeting billionaires remains one step ahead of their investigation. Catwoman #88 reveals that Katarina Belova survived the fire and has been manipulating Black Mask's campaign to destroy Selina, bringing the European conspiracy and Gotham storylines together. New Titans #36 finds the team settling into Titans Mountain as Starfire leaves, Cyborg secretly works to activate a massive Mother Box and questions continue to surround Eva's nanite-based body. Justice League: Dream Girls #3 sends Galaxy back into Dreamer's mind to rescue her from the Key while the Justice League questions Galaxy's actions, and the backup follows Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy through a quiet day together. Nightwing #139 sees Dick Grayson use his scientific training to examine bodies recovered from the water while facing pressure to surrender for a crime he did not commit, leading to a confrontation with a priest whose actions create a difficult moral dilemma. Superman Unlimited #14 intensifies the questions surrounding the young Jon Kent as kryptonite, old memories and Batman's investigation begin exposing cracks in his story. Absolute Batman #21 pits Batman against the Robins before Jack Grimm confronts Bruce Wayne and claims responsibility for creating the man he became.

Alex Thorn talks with Anthony Pompliano (ProCap) about ProCap's acquisition of Sylvia, an AI CFO, how AI-generated research could upend Wall Street, Bitcoin treasury companies building operating businesses, the CLARITY Act and the stablecoin yield fight, whether February's wick below $60K was the bottom, and Pomp's case for asset inflation alongside consumer deflation.

OUR MAN FLINT, the 1966 spy spoof that shook Hollywood, is back under the microscope. Dan and Tom from Cracking the Code of Spy Movies decode this James Coburn classic in their signature style. Released just weeks after THUNDERBALL, this movie punched well above its weight. It spoofed James Bond, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.", and even drew from vaudeville comedy traditions. The movie's story follows Flint, a brilliant ex-agent pulled back to stop mad scientists bent on world domination through weather control. Highlighted themes in this episode: · James Coburn's portrayal of Derek Flint · Jerry Goldsmith's iconic score, which blends jazz, electronics, and exotica. He's ahead of his time. Some critics called this score better than anything from the Bond series. · ZOWIE, GALAXY, and SPECTRE: the movie directly mocks Bond's spy-agency formula with wit and precision. · Austin Powers' DNA traces directly back here — from the harem of women to the multifunction lighter. · Vaudeville roots: We uncover surprising comedy traditions hidden in the movie's structure Dan and Tom explore the movie's influences — from Fritz Lang's 1929 Spies to Sherlock Holmes — and trace its legacy through DIE HARD, KINGSMAN, AUSTIN POWERS, and beyond. Whether you're a die-hard spy movie fan or new to the genre, this episode will make you see Flint in a whole new way. This movie was the predecessor to IN LIKE FLINT. Tell us what you think of our decoding of OUR MAN FLINT Have you seen OUR MAN FLINT? If so, what are your thoughts? What spoofs did we miss? If you haven't seen it, does our decoding session make you want to watch it? Would you like us to decode the other "Flint" movie, IN LIKE FLINT? Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you think of this episode. Just drop us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.

Any residents of a galaxy in the constellation Serpens have a big problem: They’re being blasted by a death ray from a black hole. The galaxy is a companion to a bigger galaxy, known as 3C321. They’re more than a billion light-years away. A supermassive black hole inhabits the heart of the larger galaxy. It’s surrounded by a giant disk of gas that’s heated to millions of degrees. Powerful magnetic fields funnel charged particles from the disk into jets. They squirt away from the poles of the black hole at almost the speed of light. One of those jets is firing toward the companion galaxy, which is just 20,000 light-years away. Observations by telescopes on the ground and in space show that the jet is hitting the edge of the companion, creating a hotspot. The encounter deflects the beam off its original course, but the beam continues for hundreds of thousands of light-years. The particles and radiation in the beam could destroy the ozone layer of any planet the beam hits. That would leave the planet exposed to radiation from the beam itself, and from other cosmic sources. So anything living on the planet would be in danger. And the situation is getting even worse. The smaller galaxy appears to be just entering the black-hole jet. Over time, more of the galaxy will pass through the jet – possibly exposing even more planets to this “death ray” from another galaxy. Script by Damond Benningfield
Star Wars Galaxy's Edge is going through some, uh, changes. It's not aging—it's de-aging. Part of the land is going back in time, while part of the land is staying the same. This is normal stuff for a massive, multi-million-dollar IP-based theme park land entering its seventh year on planet Earth.

Over the past month, there have been two dominant stories in American foreign policy. One, of course, is the war with Iran. The other is the much-anticipated summit between President Trump and Xi Jinping of China. And I think if you look closely at both of these stories, you see that our foreign policy has entered into a period of absolute incoherence. I'm not even sure what the status of the Iran war is at this point. What is Trump trying to achieve? What is he willing to accept? Taking a more hawkish approach to China has been a core and consistent principle of Trump's since his first term. He's been insistent that China has taken advantage of the United States and that America needed to change that dynamic and flex more power. But is that happening? Is that even Trump's position anymore? So I wanted to do an episode looking at China and Iran and trying to assess Trump's foreign policy in general and the ways he's remaking what America means on the world stage. Ian Bremmer is the president and founder of Eurasia Group, a political risk research and consultancy firm, and the global affairs publication GZero.
