Podcasts about Gladiator

Russell Crowe says the original “Gladiator” worked because it had a clear moral core: a man consumed by vengeance for his murdered wife and son, a journey he fought to protect on set by rejecting studio‑pushed sex scenes that would weaken Maximus' single‑minded purpose. He argues “Gladiator 2” failed at the box office, even allowing for inflation, because the sequel didn't understand why people loved the first film and “destroyed that moral centre,” trading a clear code and emotional spine for empty spectacle.

Gladiator II, Eddie Murphy, Michael Jai White Analysis by Talented Slackers

Die dem Sneakpod Geweihten grüßen Euch und begeben sich in die Arena, um sich mit ihren unterschiedlichen Meinungen zu Gladiator II zu attackieren, allein einig darin, dass der Original-Gladiator der bessere Film war. Die Croods hingegen sind eines der raren Beispiele, bei denen der zweite Teil besser als der erste ist und die Handmaids-Tale-Fortsetzung The Testaments liest man vielleicht doch lieber als Buch. Die Nutztier-Rubrik handelt diese Woche von Pferden und (Carbon-)Eseln und da der Triathlon erbarmungslos näher kommt, wurde natürlich auch wieder fleißig trainiert, wenn auch kaum die Sportarten, die verlangt sind.

Cathy and Todd discuss Gladiator, released in 2000 and directed by Ridley Scott, it stars Russell Crowe as Maximus, a Roman general betrayed by the Emperor’s son Commodus, who murders his own father Marcus Aurelius to seize power, then orders the execution of Maximus and his entire family. Sold into slavery and forced into the arena, Maximus fights his way back to Rome for one purpose: vengeance. With a box office of $466 million, five Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor for Crowe, and a Hans Zimmer score that became one of the bestselling soundtracks of all time, the film didn’t just succeed, it reinvented an entire genre and inspired everything from HBO’s Rome to The Hunger Games. It’s filled with unforgettable lines like, “What we do in life echoes in eternity” and “Are you not entertained?”, and it happens to be one of Cathy’s all-time favorite movies.

For some, online shopping is a chore but for others it is a real problem. A company in South Korea has found a solution. Apparently online shopping isn't about the products it is more about the thrill of purchasing, so they have developed a fake online shop that won't accept payment. Also on the show, we will hear about the cat that stole the show at a ballet performance. Plus, we find out the one thing Russell Crowe refused to do on the set of Gladiator.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.For this "Hollywood Edition" of the Great Rosary Campaign, let us pray for the conversion of one of the world's greatest film composers: Hans Zimmer. Whether it be "Prince of Egypt," "Gladiator," or Batman, Zimmer has written some of the world's favorite music. In gratitude for his work, and out of love for his soul, let us pray that comes to the fullness of truth in the Catholic Church, and that his gifts may be fully put in the service of Christ.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:Keeping the FaithMoral renovationConversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com

Bonterra Resources Chairman Cesar Gonzalez discusses new deep drilling from the Barry deposit, where five kilometre-scale holes all intersected mineralization between roughly 750 and 850 metres, supporting the company's down-dip model within the Urban-Barry camp. Gonzalez also updates the Goldfields earn-in, the recent Windfall Impact Benefit Agreement, and how Barry and Gladiator could fit into a broader regional mining complex. The conversation also covers Bonterra's 10,000-to-12,000 metre Desmaraisville program, the ongoing CEO search, and upcoming summer catalysts.

Send us Fan MailObtaining justice in court is a never-ending process of learning; self-development; blood, sweat and tears; self discovery; inter-discovery; often deep pain that can transform into strength and growth, but often with more pain along the way; banding together with birds of a feather; and giving back what we have learned. Texas criminal defense lawyer -- moved recently from Houston to Maryland -- Eric J. Davis (until he has a website, reachable at eric.davis@gmx.us and 713-227-2727) believes strongly in giving back what he has learned, and in integrating what he learns into what he already knows, rather than shedding valuable experience and ability with the latest teachings. Fairfax, Virginia criminal defense lawyer Jon Katz met Eric at the spring 2026 National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers program, and learned that Eric, like Jon, is a Trial Lawyers College alum, where Eric is on the TLC board and staff. Eric is also a member of the NACDL board of directors. He states straight out that the criminal justice system evolved out of racism, and finds positive ways to deal with that, including bringing race to the attention of jurors so that they will help criminal defendants when they spot racial bias and unfairness. Eric is full of optimistic energy and fight, including in talking about his acquittal for a firearm defendant by focusing on how police rushed to judgment and narrowed themselves to finding evidence to prove him guilty, rather than considering other possible suspects after finding a firearm in an empty vehicle.  Eric talks about how his experience with the Trial Lawyers College and its focus on psychodrama and storytelling helped him feel freer in pursuing justice for his clients, including focusing on the emotions of the case, the emotions of the jurors and of the actors in the case and their motivations for how they acted. Eric tells a great personal story during jury selection / voir dire to inspire them to be open about racial issues -- rather than expecting to transform their prejudices in the short timespan of a trial -- by recounting how he had his defenses up when walking to fill his empty gas tank when a truck with an older white driver slowed down, and how the driver -- after they learned how much they had in common -- told Eric how he at first thought Eric was up to no good, and Eric confessed to having first had the same view of the truck driver. And then Eric asks the jurors about any assumptions they are making about race, to start the discussion. Pure brilliance. Rules that help for a fair trial for a criminal defendant are great, but often are few and far between, and are not always sufficiently enforced. That is why I prominently display a Gladiator film clip board in my office, as a reminder of how Russell Crowe's Maximus Decimus Meridius and his teammates win despite the absence of any rules protecting them, and despite the lowest and basest violence from their opponents. Eric Davis reminds us that we can win justice for criminal defendants even when the rules do not appear to be in our favor nor to be sufficiently enforced when those rules are favorable to criminal defendants. He starts by diving deep into the jury selection process, with conversations in which he steers guilty verdict-leaning jurors closer to his side, sometimes by adding one variation to the conversation at a time. (See minute 29 in his presentation here.)  We can open and widen avenues to acquittal. This Beat the Prosecution episode is also available on YouTube and Apple podcasts. This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

The greatest truism in movies - trailers never lie. However truncated the format, trailers give a great indication as to the quality of the dialogue, acting and overall tone of a film. My fear was the casting, no not THAT casting. My excitement around such an exciting project was dampened every time announced each new cast member was yet another populist, light-weight actor. The trailer has confirmed these worries, the dialogue and interactions were nearly hokey, closer even to Gladiator 2 than Gladiator, I'll be amazed if I end up giving this over a 6/10.

In this candid team meeting, Bryan — a founder of Kalos Services and a veteran of residential HVAC — gathers his install crew to have an honest conversation about what goes wrong on the job. With summer around the corner and the workload about to spike, Bryan circles back to his roots in residential HVAC to lead a round-table discussion on the pain points his technicians face every single day. Rather than pointing fingers, he opens the floor for every team member to voice the specific frustrations that slow down their installs, and what emerges is a surprisingly consistent list: size and clearance problems, missing small materials, incomplete job photos, and last-minute schedule changes that leave crews scrambling before they even pull out of the shop. Bryan draws on his own humble origins as a one-man operation hauling equipment on a Gladiator trailer — doing installs, service calls, and waste runs all in the same day — to remind his team that chaos is not inevitable; it is the byproduct of poor process. He is refreshingly self-aware, admitting that he was a very bad installer who routinely showed up with equipment that did not fit the space. That honesty sets the tone for the entire session: this is not a lecture about accountability, but a collaborative problem-solving conversation about building repeatable systems that prevent the same mistakes from happening over and over again. As Bryan frames it, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result — and right now, the team is living that cycle. The heart of the session focuses on a three-phase planning framework: what should be done the night before a job, what should happen at the shop before the crew leaves, and what needs to occur during the first 30 minutes on-site. Bryan emphasizes that skipping proper measurements and job photos should carry the same weight as failing an inspection or leaving a refrigerant leak — because the downstream cost is just as real. He breaks down the two categories of mistakes that are truly unacceptable for any installer: refrigerant leaks from improper brazing, and water leaks from poorly executed drain lines. No amount of clean workmanship makes up for either of those failures, and he walks the crew through the non-negotiable steps — pressure testing and bubble solution on every single joint — that prevent them. Bryan wraps up by tying individual preparation habits to the bigger picture of company growth. He acknowledges that last-minute installs and mid-job equipment runs may never fully disappear, but that investing 15 minutes the evening before and 30 minutes on arrival creates a compounding tipping point effect — over time, the crew gains back hours, reduces surprises, and frees up the time that matters most: commissioning the system properly. Checklists, he argues, are not about turning skilled tradespeople into robots; they are about transferring institutional knowledge to the next generation of technicians and ensuring that nothing critical gets overlooked, no matter how many times you have done the job before. Topics Covered Common install-day problems surfaced in a round-table with the install crew Equipment size and clearance issues — why measurements matter before the truck leaves the shop The critical role of detailed job photos in preventing on-site surprises Missing small materials (wire nuts, spray foam, surge protectors, breakers) and how to stock proactively Scope and de-scope review: aligning the proposal with the homeowner before work begins Bryan's three-phase planning framework: the night before, at the shop, and on arrival Why refrigerant leaks and drain-line failures are the two non-negotiable mistakes to eliminate Pressure testing and bubble solution as a standard, every-joint practice The role of checklists in training new technicians and preserving institutional knowledge Handling last-minute installs and the logistics of getting equipment to the job site Condenser access obstacles — bushes, parking, property layout — and how to communicate with homeowners Faulty or missing parts out of the box and strategies for catching them early Panel rework and surprise platform rebuilds: planning for the unexpected How improved preparation leads to better commissioning time at the end of every job Building a culture of process over blame — poor planning is a system problem, not a people problem Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

In the year 2000, Lance Wallnau picked up the phone to prep for an interview with a U.S. senator who had been clinically dead for nearly 30 minutes. The voice on the other end told him a story about seven islands rising in heaven — a story that would become the Seven Mountains Mandate. Years later, when Lance called the woman back to confirm the details, she said five words that changed everything: "I never told you that." So who — or what — was actually on the other end of that call? Prophetic voice Lance Wallnau opens up about the moment he believes he was speaking not to a human, but to an angel — and the chain of supernatural events that birthed the Seven Mountains revelation now reshaping the global Church. What if the message reshaping the Body of Christ was confirmed by heaven itself? In this episode: * The Acts 12 "Peter's angel" parallel Lance says happened to him personally — and the woman who insists she never made the call * The Senator Mike Crotts resurrection story: dead 25-30 minutes outside a Marriott, commanded back to life by his wife Phyllis * The heaven vision of 7 islands and 1 great mountain — and the words Jesus spoke: "There must be agreement" * The Isaiah 45 / Cyrus prophecy Lance heard audibly about Trump as the 45th president — years before the 2016 election * Kim Clement's prophecy that hospital staff couldn't stop from being fulfilled * The hidden "Diamond" code in the Gladiator arena scene — and why Lance says it's a prophetic parable for end-times unity * The Voice of Apostles 2000 moment in Harrisburg when an entire crowd reported hearing angels echo "AS ONE" * The final phone call from Senator Kratz the day before he died: "Now's the time." This isn't a sermon. This is the origin story Lance has rarely told publicly — the supernatural fingerprints behind every Seven Mountains conversation happening today.

Freddie is recording from a kitchen in Sardinia — Cynthia on the couch, Gladiator 2 queued up, and a commitment to never miss a Monday. In this solo dispatch, he revisits the recent episode with Elaine Pauli and MagnaWave, sharing new clinical data that wasn't in the original episode: PEMF therapy didn't just reduce prostate size by 27% in 30 days — it actually changed how mitochondria process carbohydrates and sugar, restructuring the cell's ability to generate energy going forward. He connects this to one of the most compelling proofs in the field — a non-union fracture that fails to heal for seven years suddenly restarting bone growth when exposed to high-powered PEMF — and the Kentucky Derby winner who crossed the finish line after using MagnaWave every day in training. This isn't fringe anymore. It's FDA cleared as a Class II medical device. And Freddie has been waiting for this moment for over five years. He also shares a personal announcement: after championing Light Path LED since 2018, Freddie has officially stepped into a leadership role at the company alongside founder Scott Kennedy and Ben Carlson. He breaks down the new Titan panel — six feet of full-body red light coverage, three spectrums, 1,000+ LEDs, a mechanical adjustable stand, and a five-year warranty — and explains why even a 0.2% daily increase in mitochondrial output compounds into something profound over seven years of consistent use. The episode closes with something rarer in the wellness space: a genuine reflection on the healing power of doing nothing. Florence, Rome, Sardinia, good food, long walks, and people watching. No emails. No protocols. Just presence — and the reminder that the tools only work if the nervous system is calm enough to receive them.    Episode Highlights [02:38] – New MagnaWave findings on prostate size and mitochondrial function [03:42] – PEMF as a signaling tool rather than the source of healing itself [06:00] – MagnaWave's FDA-cleared progress and the future of PEMF adoption [07:10] – Freddie announces his leadership role with Light Path LED [09:15] – The new Titan red light panel and why accessibility matters [13:50] – The compounding effect of small daily wellness habits [15:02] – How chronic illness forced Freddie to rethink his lifestyle choices [16:05] – Why travel and unplugging can be deeply therapeutic [17:58] – Reflections on rest, perspective, and slowing down outside daily routines   UPGRADE YOUR WELLNESS Get AuraWell PEMF: https://calendly.com/cameron-ci3b/podcast Silver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN LightPathLED https://lightpathled.com/?afmc=BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN Code: beautifullybroken STEMREGEN: https://www.stemregen.co/products/stemregen/?afmc=beautifullybroken Code: beautifullybroken Flowpresso 3-in-1 technology: (https://calendly.com/freddiekimmel/flowpresso-one-on-one-discovery) CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Chicago-based director Jared Isaac recently directed his debut feature film AN AUTUMN SUMMER, which releases next month. A great conversation about the joys of shooting an indie film in the hidden cinematic gem of Northern Michigan. We spoke about the personal nature of this film and how it's based on some of his closest friends...and the fascinating story of how he was able to, against-all-odds, cast Tony Horton as the father. Horton is the founder of the ground breaking, immensely popular, workout program P90X. We also spoke of a couple of his favorite movie scenes from Ridley Scott's GLADIATOR as well as Matthew Mcconaughey's  as Wooderson in Richard Linklater's DAZED & CONFUSED.

**Jason Ake from ASFIR 4x4 (Asphere) | 40 Years of Bolt-On Off-Road Protection | Jeep Talk Show** In this episode of the Jeep Talk Show, we sit down with **Jason Ake** from **ASFIR 4x4** (Asphere) — a company that's been building serious bolt-on underbody armor since 1986.

The conversation with Dean Kinzer goes even deeper as Sports Cards Live explores the parallels between ancient coin collecting and modern sports card collecting through the lens of grading, eye appeal, originality, restoration, and authenticity. Jeremy and Dean compare the philosophies behind both hobbies and uncover just how similar collectors really are, despite collecting objects separated by nearly 2,000 years of history. Topics include: Eye appeal versus technical grade Why some lower-grade items look better than higher-grade examples Fine style designations and “star” eye appeal coins Whether grading companies should recognize eye appeal directly Toning, luster, strike quality, and surface preservation Cleaning and restoration controversies in both hobbies Why originality matters to collectors “Buy the coin, not the grade” versus “buy the card, not the grade” How grading legitimized cards and coins as tradable assets Cracking slabs and resubmitting for higher grades Population reports and grading consistency Why ancient coins can still surprise collectors with new discoveries The discussion also explores: Whether cards and coins should ever be restored Why some collectors prefer naturally aged items How grading companies influence hobby psychology Why eye appeal may eventually become part of mainstream sports card grading Later in the episode: Dean discusses rarity, scarcity, and historical demand The impact of movies like Gladiator on coin prices The similarities between modern hobby hype cycles and historical collectibles The challenge of attracting younger collectors into the coin hobby Why ancient coin collectors admire the energy of sports card shows

"My Name is Gladiator!" On this episode of the podcast, we rewatch one of the greatest epics ever made, Ridley Scott's Gladiator (2000). This Best Picture Winner was a defining film in the genre and helped reinvent the Historical Epic on the big screen. Looking at it more than 25 years later, what do we think of the movie, of Russel Crowe, and of Epic's in general!

JD sits down with Virgil from NorthBound Expeditions and NBX Trail Gear for a laid-back conversation about Jeeps, handmade gear, and the kind of trips that stick with you long after you get home. Virgil shares how he went from growing up in Luxembourg to building a life in Nova Scotia, serving in the Canadian Army, creating overland content, and turning his own need for better storage into NBX Trail Gear. The conversation gets into his JK “Fury,” his new 2025 Gladiator build, G.A.R.B. bags, custom trail gear, Cordura fabric, YouTube storytelling, and why good overlanding gear usually comes from people who actually spend time on the trail. JD and Virgil also talk about Eastern Canada travel, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick woods restrictions, and how quickly access issues can hit a community when nobody is organized to push back. This one is a good hang for anyone who loves Jeep builds, overlanding, handmade trail gear, and the stories behind small companies in the off-road world.

The movie that put Russell Crowe on the map and ultimately landed him the role of Maximus in Gladiator, L.A. Confidential is a throwback detective-noir drama that holds up 30 years later. Did Dudley kill Exley's Father? Probably not, but maybe? We go on a ton of tangents on this one, that somehow directly or indirectly relate.Thanks for listening to what many are calling the greatest nostaglic movie podcast of all time. Be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!

We were very fortunate to be joined by the delightful Dr Simon Elliot in this special episode about his latest book, The African Emperor: The Life of Septimius Severus.Dr Elliott (now forever known as Dr E) is a historian, archaeologist and broadcaster. His PhD is in Classics and Archaeology from the University of Kent. Dr E is the author of nineteen books (yes, nineteen!) on the ancient world, including Early Imperial Romans, Pertinax: The Son of a Slave Who Became Roman Emperor, and Roman Britain's Missing Legion. To find a full list of his many endeavours, check out his website.However, it is Septimius Severus, ruler of the Roman Empire from 193 to 211 CE, who we want to focus on today. You may not be particularly familiar with this emperor, but if you have seen Gladiator 2, you have met his children. Severus was the father of Caracalla and Geta who do not have the best reputation. But there is much more to his story than his disappointing children.Dr Elliott takes us through the remarkable rise of this man: from Leptis Magna to the imperial purple. In this interview, we tackle the following questions: · How did Severus emerge victorious from the chaos of The Year of Five Emperors?· What made him the most successful Severan emperor? (Aside from not being murdered with his mum) · Was Septimius Severus responsible for a genocide during his campaign in Britain?· Is there a case to be made that Septimius Severus deserves to rank alongside the likes of Augustus and Trajan?· When is Netflix going to make I, Julia – a series revolving around all of the Julias from the Severan dynasty? (Copyright, The Partial Historians, 2026)Join us for the fascinating life story of the founder of the last dynasty before the near collapse of the Empire in the third century CE. And don't forget to grab yourself a copy of the book, currently a Sunday Times bestseller.Please note: at around 39:11, when Dr E is discussing the women in the Severan dynasty, he makes reference to Julia Domna's sister as Julia Soaemias. A slip of the tongue, as Julia Domna's sister was Julia Maesa, and her daughters were Julia Soaemias (mother of Elagabalus) and Julia Mamaea (mother of Severus Alexander).Sound CreditsOur music is by Bettina Joy de GuzmanFor our full show notes and edited transcripts, head on over to https://partialhistorians.com/Support the showPatreonKo-FiRead our booksRex: The Seven Kings of RomeYour Cheeky Guide to the Roman Empire Hosted on Acast.

White-clawed crayfish were once common in Britain's waterways. But thanks to a restaurant craze in the 1970's, that brought the American signal crayfish to our shores, our only native freshwater crayfish is under threat from this invasive species.  White-clawed crayfish are eco system engineers keeping rivers and streams clean and they also have amazing limb re growing superpowers. But they're being outcompeted for food and habitat by the American signal crayfish and succumbing to a killer plague being spread by them. But, with a little help from Ranger Nick Allen and the team at Wallington estate in Northumberland, habitats are being created where white-clawed crayfish can thrive. Join Rosie and follow the story and the lives of the plucky little characters fighting for survival in England's Northeast.Production: Host: Rosie Holdsworth Producers: Michelle Douglass and Katy Kelly Sound Editor: Jesus Gomez Contributor: Nick Allen  Discover more: Find out more about Wallington and their work with the white-clawed crayfish: Saving the native white-clawed crayfish | National Trust  Follow us @ wildtales Instagram account If you'd like to get in touch with feedback, or a story idea, you can contact us at podcasts@nationaltrust.org.uk

JD sits down with Steve and Katie Botkin of Epic Adventure Duo for a fun, grounded conversation about marriage, overlanding, and the kind of off-road life that's built on real miles instead of parking-lot hype. They talk through how camping, dirt bikes, and years of Jeep ownership led them to Trail Hero Expeditions, where their expert navigation, camp rhythm, and well-used Gladiator helped carry them to a third-place finish. Along the way, they swap stories from Moab, Sand Hollow, Baja, and Montana snow wheeling, plus a few challenge moments that were equal parts chaos and comedy. The episode also gets into gear choices, trail strategy, and why the Grand Canyon stretch of the route became one of the most memorable parts of the whole experience. If you like real-world adventure couples, capable rigs, and honest trail talk without the fluff, this one's worth your time.Steve & Katie Botkin: Epic Adventure Duo

Bizarre News: March 2026 | Paranormal Podcast This month's Bizarre News had us kicking things off close to home — literally — with a wild Bigfoot flap happening right in our backyard in Northeast Ohio, plus a meteorite that was loud enough to rattle windows across multiple states and had one of us genuinely wondering if the neighbor's house exploded. From there we covered dozens of sheep vanishing without a single trace of bone or wool from remote Norwegian islands, leaving farmers, police, and us absolutely baffled about what — or who — could possibly be pulling this off. We also dove into a fascinating new study linking UFO hotspots to deep underwater canyon systems along the US West Coast, which has researchers seriously asking whether something non-human might have been operating beneath our oceans this whole time. We also threw in a story about a Detroit church that's been selling out hundreds of seats for giant mech suit gladiator battles — and honestly, we have more questions than answers about all of it.

This week Jolenta is looking into The Protector archetype and his evil twin, The Gladiator. These archetypes help us understand why some TV characters are so aggro and obsessed with fighting everyone. Turns out they're trying to protect their loved ones… or just satisfy their bloodlust.
