Tuesday, June 16, 2026OG Danielle is back in the studio with Brock, and the show kicks off with a debate over what officially counts as a puppy versus a dog, which somehow turns into Pound Puppies, dog noises, and Danielle's house full of actual puppies.The trending thread of the day asks: What phrase do you hate? Listeners and the crew go after phrases like “chef's kiss,” “I did a thing,” “this wasn't on my bingo card,” “so blessed” as a humblebrag, “unpopular opinion,” “my journey,” “that's my truth,” “I don't know who needs to hear this,” “normalize,” “it's giving,” and basically anything that sounds like it came from an influencer caption.The show also gets into plenty of “What the Heck” moments, including more than 1,000 people dressing as Marilyn Monroe for a world record, a birthday cake shaped like an eight that accidentally looked very inappropriate, a Florida man speeding with 34 empty White Claws in the passenger seat, Hawaii having the most expensive medium cheese pizza, and a fisherman catching a small great white shark off Nantucket.Brock and Danielle take a surprisingly real detour into forgiveness, difficult relationships, texting versus talking in person, and how things can get lost when serious conversations happen over messages instead of face-to-face. They also roll through random facts about NBA Jam making a billion dollars, wolves not actually howling at the moon, lightning striking Earth around 100 times per second, James Naismith having a losing record as Kansas basketball coach, and the Onyx River in Antarctica.The episode also highlights Bentonville Film Fest week, with Danielle sharing events, family programming, free movies at the Momentary, the Crayola Creative Studios competition, Cookie Queens, Geena Davis, and the opening film connected to Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick. Brock and Danielle also talk about downtown Bentonville changes, including the new club-style version of The Meteor, The Barber, and whether Bentonville can really sustain late-night nightlife.Good news includes two Iowa teens rescuing an elderly woman who had been trapped outside for more than 16 hours, Danielle getting ready to print her 12th magazine issue, her family's double doodle puppies needing homes, and finally having a working car again. The show also covers Gen Xers still depending on parents, the great wealth transfer, nursing home vending machines loving Dr. Pepper, Spielberg movie rankings, World Cup talk, Star Wars minutes, kids and table manners, “exhaust-overwhelmulated,” coffee snobbery, expensive whiskey mistakes, Bentoville food talk, celebrity news, summer camps, kids losing electronics until the house is clean, Toy Story 5 making parents hate technology, and college home videos that apparently involved way more nudity than expected.It is a funny, fast-moving, very Brock-and-Danielle episode full of phrases we all secretly hate, local Bentonville talk, family chaos, puppies, coffee, and just enough emotional honesty to keep things interesting.
Movie of the Year: 2006Slither The Slither Podcast Brings Body Horror to the 2006 BracketThe Slither podcast episode unleashes the first true horror movie on our Movie of the Year 2006 bracket. After opening the season with Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story, the Taste Buds trade metafiction for meteorites. Consequently, things get slimy fast. Ryan, Mike, and Greg welcome producer and festival programmer Drea Clark to dig into James Gunn's gleefully gross directorial debut. Together, the panel asks whether a movie full of alien slugs deserves a deep run in the bracket. Above all, they ask whether Slither has more on its mind than exploding deer and tentacled husbands.About the FilmSlither is a 2006 science fiction horror comedy written and directed by James Gunn. A meteorite crashes outside the small town of Wheelsy, South Carolina, carrying an alien parasite. The parasite infects wealthy local Grant Grant, played with squirming brilliance by Michael Rooker. Soon, Grant transforms into a tentacled monster, and slug-like creatures spread through the town. Meanwhile, police chief Bill Pardy (Nathan Fillion) and Grant's wife Starla (Elizabeth Banks) try to stop the invasion.Universal released the film on March 31, 2006. Notably, it flopped at the box office, grossing under $13 million against a $15 million budget. However, critics largely embraced it. Roger Ebert praised its Troma-loving spirit in his RogerEbert.com review, and the film became a cult favorite on home video. In addition, it launched the directing career that eventually gave us Guardians of the Galaxy and the new DC Universe.Guest Panelist: Drea ClarkThis week the Taste Buds welcome Drea Clark, a true film industry polymath. Drea co-hosts Maximum Film! on the Maximum Fun network, the long-running movie podcast she shares with film critic Alonso Duralde. Furthermore, her credentials behind the scenes run deep. She has served on the Sundance Film Festival programming team, led narrative feature programming at Slamdance for over a decade, spent ten years with the LA Film Festival, and curated Geena Davis's Bentonville Film Festival. As a producer, her features include The Last Time You Had Fun, Lake Los Angeles, and No Light and No Land Anywhere, the latter executive produced by Miranda July. In short, few guests are better equipped to judge a scrappy genre debut from a first time director.James Gunn as a First-Time FilmmakerBefore Slither, James Gunn was a writer with a strange resume. He cut his teeth at Troma on Tromeo and Juliet, then wrote the live action Scooby-Doo movies and the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake. Consequently, Slither arrived as his first chance to direct his own material. The panel debates what the film reveals about Gunn as a filmmaker. Specifically, they trace the DNA that later shows up in Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad, and Superman. The needle drops, the found family of misfits, and the sincere heart under the gross-out gags all start here. Moreover, Drea brings a programmer's eye to the question of how debut features signal a career to come.Sex and Violence on the Slither 2006 PodcastSlither earns its R rating with enthusiasm. The Taste Buds tackle how the film weaponizes both sex and violence, often in the same scene. Grant's infection plays like a grotesque infidelity story, and the alien's reproductive plans push body horror into genuinely uncomfortable territory. However, the violence stays cartoonish enough to keep the comedy alive. The panel asks where Gunn draws that line, and whether the bathtub scene, the barn scene, and that infamous bursting body still shock today. Ultimately, the conversation lands on a bigger question. Does the film use its excess for a purpose, or is the excess the point?Is Slither an Allegory?Every great monster movie smuggles in a meaning, or so the theory goes. Therefore, the panel puts Slither on the couch. Is the film an allegory for toxic marriage, with Grant's transformation literalizing a controlling husband? Is it about small town conformity, as a hive mind absorbs an entire community? By contrast, maybe Gunn simply loves slugs and explosions, and the search for subtext misses the joke. Drea, Ryan, Mike, and Greg each stake out a position. Nevertheless, the debate keeps circling back to Starla, whose arc gives the film its surprising emotional weight.TriviaNo Movie of the Year episode is complete without Trivia. This week's round digs into Slither's production and its B-movie family tree. Expect questions about the practical effects, the casting, and the film's connections to Troma legend Lloyd Kaufman, who cameos in the movie. Additionally, the segment tests whether the panel can untangle Slither from the movies it lovingly rips off, including Night of the Creeps and Shivers. Play along and see if you can outscore the Taste Buds.Dream Blunt RotationNew season, new games. In Dream Blunt Rotation, the panel assembles the ultimate smoke circle from the world of Slither. Which characters make the cut, and which get left outside the garage? Mayor Jack MacReady seems like a chaotic invite, while Bill Pardy might be the chillest hang in Wheelsy. Meanwhile, the conversation drifts toward the cast and crew themselves. Listen to find out who earns a spot in the rotation and whose vibes get vetoed.Awards and RecommendationsThe episode closes with Awards and Recommendations, the segment where the Taste Buds hand out honors to the film's cast, crew, and creatures. Nominees this week range from Michael Rooker's fearless physical performance to the effects team behind the slugs. As a result, expect passionate cases and at least one baffling pick. The winners stay a surprise, so you will have to listen for the results. Afterward, the panel shares recommendations for what to watch next if Slither leaves you hungry for more horror comedy.Why Slither Still MattersTwenty years later, Slither looks like a turning point hiding in plain sight. It kept practical creature effects alive at a moment when Hollywood was abandoning them. Furthermore, it proved that horror comedy could carry real emotion, a balance Gunn has chased ever since. The film's box office failure also tells a story about 2006 itself, a year when audiences ignored a future superstar director. In practice, the Slither podcast episode asks the question this whole season exists to answer. Does cult status and influence make a movie a contender for the best film of 2006? Listen and judge for yourself.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 2006Movie of the Year: 2006 — Intro, Part 1Movies of 2006: The Bracket RevealTristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull StoryAll Movie of the Year episodesFAQ: Slither Podcast and FilmWhat is this episode of the Slither podcast about?Ryan, Mike, and Greg debate whether James Gunn's Slither deserves to advance in the Movie of the Year 2006 bracket.

However, strong reviews and home video sales turned it into a cult classic.Is Slither a remake?No, but it wears its influences proudly. Gunn openly drew on Night of the Creeps, Shivers, The Blob, and the Troma catalog, where he started his career.Who is the guest on this episode?Drea Clark, producer, festival programmer, and co-host of the Maximum Film! podcast on Maximum Fun.Why does Slither still matter?It launched James Gunn's directing career, championed practical effects, and perfected the horror comedy tone that countless films have imitated since. The Slither podcast episode makes the full case.
Today Griffey and Dandino hop a jet to a billionaire nightmare in Blink Twice. They cut into the film's weaponization of real world rationalizations often used to defend scumbags, how the movie uses time and repitition to keep the audience entranced just like the ladies, and the epic finale where evil is unmasked and tossed on a short leash. This is a modern Messed Up classic that we hope you enjoy with us. Synopsis: When tech billionaire Slater King meets cocktail waitress Frida at his fundraising gala, he invites her to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island. As strange things start to happen, Frida questions her reality.

A lead actor named Chris was more likely to headline one of the UK's top-grossing films over the past three years than a woman over 60. Even talking animals came out ahead according to a new study from the UK's Age Without Limits campaign. Animals were four times more likely to be the central character than an older woman. More than two decades ago, actress Geena Davis decided to challenge Hollywood's blind spots by founding the Geena Davis Institute, which tracks who gets seen and who gets left out and how women of all ages are portrayed. Madeline Di Nonno is the Institute's President and CEO where they use data to help the entertainment industry see what's missing on the screen.

Andrew Mercado and James Manning review three new TV series this episode: Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed (AppleTV, 10 episodes)Paula (Tatiana Maslany) is a magazine fact-checker in the midst of a messy divorce from her ex-husband Karl which centres around the custody arrangements of their daughter Hazel. She begins paying Trevor, a webcam boy, for his time, during which she vents about her life and enjoys sexual experiences with him. One night, during one of their sessions, Paula witnesses Trevor being brutally attacked in his home. Reporting it to the Police, Detective Sofia Gonzalez believes it to be a scam. Co-starring are Murray Bartlett and Dolly De Leon. The Boroughs (Netflix, 8 episodes)The Boroughs is a Netflix sci-fi series executive-produced by the Duffer Brothers. It follows a quirky, resilient crew of retirees in a seemingly idyllic retirement community. The story kicks off in a picturesque retirement community, where a grieving newcomer experiences a bizarre and monstrous encounter. Super cast including Alfred Molina, Geena Davis and Bill Pullman. Kylie (Netflix, 3 episodes)Believe the hype, this really is an unfiltered look at the singer life including the major hits and plenty of revealing insights about and from her family and lovers. It doesn’t cover everything which would be a huge undertaking beyond the scope of this doco. There aren’t a lot of interviews but the director has secured the best with contributions from Pete Waterman, Jason Donovan, Nick Cave and sister Dannii – in addition to several sessions with Kylie on the couch. Plus: Andrew also talks about a new Crawford Productions YouTube channel which is home to some classic Australian TV series. James sounds a bit excited about watching Keeley Hawes playing a nun in the forthcoming series Falling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La película "Fjord" se alzó el sábado con la Palma de Oro a la Mejor película al término de la 79ₐ edición del Festival de Cannes. La elegante velada en el Palacio de los Festivales congregó a la crema y nata del cine mundial, con la presencia de artistas como Penélope Cruz, Zoe Saldaña o Geena Davis. El aclamado director rumano Cristián Mungiu alzó el sábado la segunda Palma de Oro de su carrera por "Fjord", un drama sobre las diferencias culturales entre los países de Europa a través de una piadosa pareja rumano-noruega que se instala con su familia en un fiordo. Cuando las maestras de los niños descubren moretones en sus cuerpos, la sociedad comienza a cuestionar las costumbres conservadoras de los padres evangélicos y estalla un álgido debate en medio de la atmosfera glacial nórdica. “Déjenme por favor saborear este momento. Un premio de esta categoría, por segunda vez… Hoy en día es un riesgo elevar la voz frente a los peligros que nos acechan. Hay cosas de las nadie quiere hablar. Las sociedades están fracturadas. Y esta es una película contra el autoritarismo”, dijo Mungiu al recibir la máxima recompensa del festival.

Los españoles Javier Ambrossi y Javier Calvo fueron honrados con el Premio a la Mejor dirección por « La bola negra », junto al polaco Pawel Pawlikowski por su increible "Fatherland", sobre un viaje del escritor Thomas Mann y su hija por Alemania. El jurado decidió entregar su premio a la alemana "La aventura soñada" de Valeska Grisebach, mientras que "Minotauro" del ruso Andrei Zviaguintsev ganó el Gran Premio.

Para esta película sobre un funcionario colaboracionista con el régimen nazi, Marre se inspiró de la historia de su bisabuelo. El premio a la Mejor interpretación masculina fue entregado a Emmanuel Macchia y Valentin Campagne, protagonistas de "Coward" de Lukas Dhont. De su lado, las actrices belga Virginie Effira y la japonesa Tao Okamoto fueron premiadas por sus respectivos papeles en "All of a sudden" de Ryusuke Hamaguchi.

Streissand sin embargo no pudo estar presente, aunque envió un mensaje donde habló de su pasión por el cine y de su poder para "abrir corazones y mentes". En esta edición del Festival de Cannes se entregaron otros dos reconocimientos similares, a Peter Jackson y John Travolta. El primer premio anunciado durante la velada fue el galardón al Mejor Cortometraje, que fue para el argentino Federico Luis, por su cinta "Para los contrincantes", que cuenta el universo de las peleas de boxeo infantil en el barrio de Tepitos, en Ciudad de México.

Willkommen bei Filmweise! In dieser Woche haben sich Holger, Michael und Rüdiger drei Filme angeschaut, die allerdings einen Serien-Hintergrund haben. Und für "The Mandalorian & Grogu" (29:01) haben sie sogar ihr Sofa verlassen und auf dem Weg zum Kino die Sonne gesehen. Kann der Film den Charme der ersten Staffel von "The Mandalorian" zurückbringen und nach jahrelanger Pause das "Star Wars"-Moratorium im Kino erfolgreich beenden? Den Schritt ins Kino hat sich Prime Video mit "Jack Ryan: Ghost War" (1:03:12) nicht getraut, aber der Film von und mit John Krasinski soll Tom Clancy's Figur drei Jahre nach der letzten Staffel wieder zum Actionhelden machen. Eine gute Wahl? Auch Jon Bernthal legte bei "Punisher: One Last Kill" (49:13) selber Hand an und schrieb das Drehbuch für die Special Presentation bei Netflix. Eine ganze Seite hat er dabei vollgekritzelt, denn 70 Prozent der 50 Minuten bestehen nur aus Actionszenen. Damit aber auch Serienfreunde auf ihre Kosten kommen, haben wir uns die Netflix-Serie "The Boroughs" (3:24) vorgenommen. Die von den Duffer-Brüdern produzierte Serie mit Alfred Molina, Geena Davis und Alfre Woodard wird bereits jetzt gerne als Pensionärs-"Stranger Things" bezeichnet. Aber stimmt das wirklich? Und wäre das etwas Schlechtes? Darüber gibt es zwischen den drei Podcastern deutliche Meinungsdifferenzen. Cold-Open-Frage: "Wen sollte die BBC als neuen Hercule Poirot besetzen?"

Zo kijkt Alex enorm uit naar Spider-Noir, de eerste serie waarin Nicholas Cage een hoofdrol speelt. En is Anke benieuwd naar én sceptisch over The Boroughs, de serie waar Stranger Things' The Duffers nauw bij betrokken zijn met Alfred Molina en Geena Davis in hoofdrollen. [25:45]Dan komen ze terug op twee titels die ze eerder al even aanstipten, namelijk het erg leuke en goede Mocros (NPO Plus) [40:37] en het verrassend sterke tweede seizoen van Beef (Netflix) [45:40].Tot slot, een van de beste series van het moment en misschien wel van het hele jaar: Widow's Bay (Apple TV+). Alex en Anke jubelen over deze ontzettend grappige en tegelijkertijd super enge serie met een uitzonderlijke Matthew Rhys in de hoofdrol en heel veel geweldige andere 'character actors' in de cast. Een echte sitcom-horror die wonderwel werkt. [55:00](Hier vind je trouwens de legendarische tweet van showrunner Katie Dippold.)Veel luisterplezier!Ps. Wil je nog meer luisteren? Alex en Anke namen ook alvast de plus-aflevering op waarin ze diep ingaan op 'Gary', de verrassingsaflevering van The Bear.

In Folge 99 sprechen Jan und Eric über die unergründliche Faszination von "Etty", einer ARTE-Serie über die jüdische Künstlerin Etty Hillersum, deren Tagebücher aus der Zeit des von den Nazis besetzen Amsterdams posthum berühmt wurden. Komplett fiktiv ist dagegen eine Gruppe älterer Menschen, die Hauptfiguren in der Netflix-Fantasy-Drama-Horror-Komödienserie "The Boroughs" sind. Gespielt werden sie unter anderem von Alfred Molina, Bill Pullman und Geena Davis. Danach wird's politisch. "Im Maschinenraum der Macht" heißt eine Doku in der ZDF-Mediathek, die den Anspruch erhebt, prominente Mitglieder der schwarz-roten Bundesregierung im ersten Jahr ihrer Amtszeit "hautnah" begleitet zu haben. Danach geht es um eine - ja ihr hört richtig - deutsche Science Fiction-Komödie & Romcom: "Stardust Hotel" findet ihr in der ARD-Mediathek. Zum Schluss gibt es wieder unsere neue Rubrik Q&A, bei dem nur einer von uns beiden ein Format gesehen hat und der andere dazu Fragen stellt. Heute hat unser Q&A allerdings ein gemeinsames Thema, denn wir reden über den skandinavischen Streamingdienst Viaplay, den ihr über über Amazon zubuchen könnt. Zwei neue Serien dort haben wir uns da angeschaut: die finnische Bürokratiegroteske "Welfare Warriors" und die schwedische Dramedy "Keep it Together".
Indul a rendes tudósításunk a cannes-i filmfesztiválról, ahol kiderül, hogy melyek azok a filmek, amelyekről a következő egy évben mindenki beszélni fog. Az első nap még laza programmal indult, először A faun labirintusa huszadik évfordulóját ünnepeltük a rendező Guillermo Del Toróval együtt, aki azóta Oscar-díjat is nyert (A víz érintése) és legutóbb a Netflixnek hozott dicsőséget a Frankenstein feldolgozásával, de az egykoron megkérdőjelezhetetlen menőségéből mára sokat veszített.Del Toro egyedi látványvilága és féktelen kreativitása húsz év után is lenyűgözött bennünket és lelkesedése megfelelő indítást adott a 79. cannes-i fesztiválnak. Hozzá hasonló pályát futott be Peter Jackson is, akit a nyitógálán életműdíjjal tüntettek ki, amit A Gyűrűk Ura Frodója, Elijah Wood adott át. Jackson díjazásának apropója nem volt teljesen világos, hiszen az utóbbi időben alig alkotott emlékezteset, bár a cannes-i programigazgató nagy becsben tarthatja a négy évvel ezelőtti Beatles-dokusorozatát, mert annak a címadó dala, a Get Back a gála zenei csúcspontja is volt.A megnyitón felvonult az idei zsűri is, amit ezúttal a koreai mester, Park Chan-wook vezet, akinek a filmjeiből csodás montázst láthattunk, viszont a koreaiul elmondott köszöntőszavait nem sikerült a közönség számára tolmácsolni. Stellan Skarsgard, Ruth Negga és Chloé Zhao mellett a zsűri legismertebb tagja idén Demi Moore, akit két éve Cannes fedezett fel újra A szer főszerepében. A 63 éves színésznő azonban úgy tűnik, nem a megfelelő tanulságokat vonta volna le a zseniális testhorrorból és mintha kezdené túladagolni azt a szert, amitől csontvázszerűvé vált a megjelenése. Amikor ceremónia végén bejelentették, hogy két nő jön megnyitni a fesztivált, azt lehetett remélni, hogy az idei plakáton lévő Geena Davis és Susan Sarandon (a Thelma és Louise volt a zárófilm itt 1991-ben) lesz az, de nem, Gong Li és Jane Fonda teljesen random párosa érkezett a színpadra. Mindenesetre a hihetetlenül energikus, 88 éves Fonda lelkes ordibálása legalább felébresztette az egybegyűlteket.A lanyha megnyitó után kellemes meglepetés volt a francia nyitófilm, a The Electric Kiss, ami elsőre egy könnyed kis meseszerű limonádénak tűnik, ám fokozatosan feltárulnak a mélységei. Egy szerelmi három-, majd négyszög kerül bemutatásra úgy, ahogy eddig még sosem láthattuk, egyenlő fontosságot adva minden karakter nézőpontjának. A főszerepekben Pio Marmaï, Anaïs Demoustier, Gilles Lellouche és Vimala Pons lenyűgöző alakítást nyújtanak. Közülük Lellouche-t pár nap múlva újra láthatjuk majd, Nemes Jeles László versenyfilmjének (Moulin) a főszereplőjeként. Filmek, amikről szó esik az adásban:A faun labirintusa (Guillermo Del Toro)The Electric Kiss (Pierre Salvadori)Készítette: Varga Ferenc és Onozó RóbertZene: Hegyi OlivérJó szórakozást az adáshoz, és ha tetszik, kérlek támogasd a Filmklub podcastot a Patreonon, egy dollár is nagy segítség!

Il manifesto della 79ª edizione del Festival di Cannes è dedicato a Thelma e Louise, il road movie diretto da Ridley Scott nel 1991, con Susan Sarandon e Geena Davis, diventato nel tempo un cult assoluto, caposaldo della cultura femminista.

This week, the boys teleport back to 1986, when Jeff Goldblum was awkward yet ripped and writing was weird, especially for women. Only our second David Cronenberg after “Crimes of the Future”, we dive into “The Fly”: the tropey writing, the B-movie plot outline done at an A-list scale with top-notch hair and makeup, and why we all walked away with different ratings for the movie.

Natalie's friend, Jessica Toukatly, is on the show today to talk about the important work started by The Geena Davis Institute for Gender and Media. Geena Davis was watching television with her kids one day when she noticed a sharp difference between the amount of lines given to male characters versus the female characters in the show. So she started tallying and collecting data. Jess will go over the ways Geena used her standing in Hollywood to meet with executives to bring light to how little women were being represented in media when it came to their male counterparts. There will also be a discussion on what quality female representation looks like in film, how the institute eventually expanded to collecting data that would represent other marginalized voices' time on screens, and other women who have pioneered paths forward when it comes to getting women's stories told.

Shat The Movies heads to New York City for Quick Change, the 1990 crime comedy starring Bill Murray as a master planner who pulls off the perfect bank robbery… only to discover escaping Manhattan is the real heist. Directed by Murray and Howard Franklin, the film pairs Murray's signature dry frustration with a city that seems determined to sabotage every step of the getaway. Gene and Big D break down the chaotic charm of Geena Davis and Randy Quaid, exploring why the movie obsesses over the uniquely exhausting experience of navigating New York City. From the clown-mask bank robbery to wrong turns, broken taxis, suspicious cops, and Tony Shalhoub, Quick Change becomes less about the crime and more about the slow psychological breakdown of trying to leave town. Is Quick Change an overlooked Bill Murray classic, or just a very specific kind of urban nightmare that only works if you've ever tried to get across Manhattan in a hurry?

Guest host Geena Davis guides us through the research on love that stretches beyond romance and friendship, showing up in our bonds with objects, nature, grief, and the collective moments that connect us to something larger than ourselves.Summary: In this final episode of our 3-part series on The Science of Love, researchers reveal how love expands our sense of self and strengthens our bond to humanity. We also explore why objects can feel meaningful, how love of nature can motivate care for the planet, he ways grief reshapes our capacity for connection, and our love of humanity.Related The Science of Happiness episodes: The Science of Love Series: https://bit.ly/TheScienceofLoveThe Science of Love, with Geena Davis (Episode 1): https://tinyurl.com/bfave5wdHow 7 Days Can Transform Your Relationship: https://tinyurl.com/bdh2ezhrRelated Happiness Breaks:Visualizing Your Best Self in Relationships: https://tinyurl.com/4797z2vfA Guided Meditation on Embodied Love: https://tinyurl.com/3dmpfam6A Meditation on Love and Interconnectedness: https://tinyurl.com/ye6baxv3Today's Guests:AARON AHUVIA is the most widely published and cited academic expert on non-interpersonal love.Learn more about Aaron Ahuvia here: https://thethingswelove.com/about-aaron/JESSICA EISE is a social and environmental scientist and is an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health with Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington.Learn more about Jessica Eise here: https://jessicaeise.com/YURIA CELIDWEN is an indigenous scholar of contemplative studies, and author of the new book, Flourishing Kin: Indigenous Foundations For Collective Well-Being.Learn more about Yuria Celidwen here: https://www.yuriacelidwen.com/MARY-FRANCES O'CONNOR is a psychologist and professor at the University of Arizona, where she directs the Grief, Loss, and Social Stress Lab.Learn more about Mary-Frances O'connor here: https://maryfrancesoconnor.org/SHIRA GABRIEL is a Professor of Psychology at SUNY, University at Buffalo.Learn more about Shira Gabriel here: https://tinyurl.com/2vvav8xjMessage us or leave a comment on Instagram @scienceofhappinesspod.

Guest host Geena Davis helps us explore how the love we feel —for our partners, friends, family, even our four legged companions—shapes our brains, bodies, and lives.Summary: On this episode of The Science of Love with Geena Davis, we delve into the many forms of love, and experts share research on how small daily actions, physical touch, and emotional attentiveness strengthen relationships, while evolutionary and neuroscience studies reveal why these bonds matter. We also explore practical strategies for cultivating deeper connections and understanding the biological and psychological roots of love.Scroll down for a transcription of this episode.Related The Science of Happiness episodes: The Science of Love Series: https://bit.ly/TheScienceofLoveThe Science of Love, with Geena Davis (Episode 1): https://tinyurl.com/bfave5wdHow 7 Days Can Transform Your Relationship: https://tinyurl.com/bdh2ezhrToday's Guests:DANIEL LEVITIN is a neuroscientist, musician, and bestselling author of the books, Music as Medicine: How We Can Harness Its Therapeutic Power and I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music As Medicine.

An all new Appreciation Month is upon us here at Cinema Degeneration and this time we are delving into the twisted works and mind of the one and only Canadian filmmaker David Cronenberg whose career started in the late 1960's! It's a month long celebration of all things body horror, strange killers, telekinesis, rampant diseases, sexual perversions, more body horror, technological mutations, oh and did we mention body horror??? Our 2nd episode is based upon Cronenberg's only filmed remake to date with the 1986 body horror classic "THE FLY". Starring Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis and John Getz. A remake of the 1958 black & white classis starring Vincent Price. It's a twisted tale of a scientist gone mad that results in a botched experiment that transmutes the man into a monstrous insect. Not for the squeamish or faint of heart, we assure you. It begs the question of what happens when a man tries to play God and what the consequences can be. If that doesn't sound intriguing to you, then you've got to check your pulse because you may already be dead. Our deep dive discussion and dissection on this film is headed off by Cameron Scott and Tom Komisar, the hosting duo of "Grindhouse Pizzeria". Buckle in because it's going to be a wild ride! "The medicine cabinet is now the Brundle Museum of Natural History. You wanna see what else is in it?"
Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us.

In a culture that often reduces love to romance, we explore the science of love across the lifespan—revealing how our bonds with parents, friends, partners, and communities shape our health, happiness, and survival.Summary: Love is commonly understood as a feeling, yet scientific research increasingly points to its role as a core biological drive. In this episode of The Science of Love, we explore how love is expressed through caregiving, friendship, romantic attachment, and shared experience, and how these connections leave measurable effects on the brain, body, and even the microbiome.

I continue my reviews of unconventional Christmas movies with the yuletide classic, “The Long Kiss Goodnight”, in which you get scenes that mix automatic weapons, Christmas lights, yummy treats, bad beats, pies in the face, mistletoe and bombs that blow. Geena Davis plays Samantha Caine who can't remember most anything past 8 years ago but steadily is getting memories back. Meanwhile, the covert American government agency she, unbeknownst to her, was an assassin for, thought she was dead but now they know she's alive and they want to reverse that. Samuel L. Jackson plays Mitch Hennessey, a low-rent private eye, trying to help Samantha remember who she was. He gets caught in the crossfire as naughty government elves come to take Samantha's Christmas spirit away AKA put her in the ground. All the while, in the background, this movie drops the needle on some great Christmas tunes, which just makes this a bullet-riddled Christmas classic all the more. “The Long Kiss Goodnight” also stars Craig Bierko, David Morse, Brian Cox, Yvonne Zima, Patrick Malahide, Tom Amandes, Melina Kanakaredes, Joseph McKenna, Dan Warry-Smith, Rex Linn and Edwin Hodge.

"We are the monsters" — that's the premise for the genre of film known as body horror — movies that fixate on monstrous and grotesque changes to the body. There have been good body horror films and bad ones, but "The Fly" starring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis was perhaps the most consequential. The movie captured anxieties around bodily autonomy and physical decay, just as the AIDS epidemic was becoming catastrophic. Forty years later, Body Horror is back with films like "The Substance" and "Together." Producer Matthew Lazin-Ryder examines what these films reveal about our bodies, our minds and our sense of who we are.
It's the final Mighty Monday of 2025, and Ryan is closing things out with one of the most iconic sports movies of all time — A League of Their Own.ABOUT A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWNDuring World War II, when most of the men are off fighting overseas, two sisters join the first professional women's baseball league and struggle to help it succeed amid their growing rivalry.AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWNJuly 1, 1992 | Theatrical ReleaseCAST & CREW OF A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWNGeena Davis as Dottie HinsonTom Hanks as Jimmy DuganLori Petty as Kit KellerMadonna as “All the Way” Mae MordabitoRosie O'Donnell as Doris MurphyJon Lovitz as Ernie CapadinoDavid Strathairn as Ira LowensteinBill Pullman as Bob HinsonDirected by Penny MarshallBRAN'S A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN SYNOPSISThe movie kicks off in 1988 with Dottie Hinson attending the opening of a new exhibit at the Baseball Hall of Fame that celebrates the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.Suddenly, we're transported back to 1944 to learn how the league began. We meet a younger Dottie and her sister Kit, working hard on the dairy farm. A scout named Ernie arrives and tries to convince Dottie to join the league, but she agrees only if Kit can come too.Off to Chicago they go to try out for the league — and they make the Rockford Peaches.But who's going to manage this squad? Former star player Jimmy Dugan. Jimmy Dugan sucks. He's an alcoholic who only takes the gig to make some money so he can buy more booze. He doesn't want to be there, which forces Dottie to step up as the team's leader.As the league grows more and more popular, the stadiums start selling out. The teammates bond, and everything is going great — until the guy running the league makes Dottie the face of it, which upsets her sister and ultimately leads to Kit getting traded.The Peaches finish the season with the league's best record, qualifying for the World Series. That evening, Dottie gets a surprise when her husband, Bob, shows up — wounded and discharged from the Army.Jimmy discovers that Dottie plans to go home with Bob. He tries to talk her out of it, telling her she'll regret not staying.Before the final game of the World Series, Dottie rejoins the team, while Kit is the starting pitcher for the opposing team. Dottie and the Peaches end up winning, and the sisters reconcile afterward.Back in the present at Cooperstown, Dottie is reunited with the other players — including Kit. They all sing the team song and pose for a photo. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?
