SCHEDUKE JBS 7-21-26Elizabeth Peek joins John Batchelor to discuss how rising gasoline prices act as a talisman for consumer sentiment and presidential approval. Despite low unemployment and rising real wages, the public remains fixated on energy costs. Peek criticizes Republican messaging and highlights the massive AI-driven investment boom currently occurring. (1)Elizabeth Peek discusses New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's inability to define the "working class." She argues the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) primarily represent white, college-educated liberals rather than manual laborers. They also discuss Kevin Warsh as a potential Fed chairman and the independence of interest rate decisions. (2)Peter Berkowitz examines Vice President JD Vance's views on restoring Christianity in America. Berkowitz highlights the ambiguity in Vance's stance regarding government involvement in religion. They contrast Vance's rhetoric with James Madison's historical opposition to state-funded religion, emphasizing the constitutional separation of church and state. (3)Ahmad Sharawi reports on Syria's interception of sophisticated Iranian weapons—including cruise missile components—destined for Hezbollah. The weapons were concealed in Iraqi oil tankers. This move is seen as Al-Shara's attempt to gain international trust and investment by demonstrating a commitment to containing Hezbollah's rearmament. (4)Mary Kissel discusses the ongoing conflict with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. She argues there is no diplomatic overlap because Iran views nuclear weapons as essential for survival. Kissel notes the lack of a broad international coalition and warns that regional allies might seek accommodation with Tehran. (5)Mary Kissel turns to NATO's lack of unity regarding the Ukraine war. Kissel argues that while Eastern Europeannations feel the threat, Western Europe focuses on domestic politics. She highlights the emergence of a "new alliance" of Russia, Iran, and China, which poses a significant hybrid threat. (6)Joseph Sternberg analyzes China's struggling economy, noting that official growth targets are likely overstated. Facing a real estate crater and demographic decline, China is reverting to an export-heavy model. Unlike Japan's past recovery, China's adversarial stance makes trading partners less willing to absorb its gluts. (7)Joseph Sternberg discusses the transition to Prime Minister Andy Burnham in the UK. Burnham, who took office without an election mandate, faces a heavily taxed economy and bond market skepticism. Sternberg critiques Burnham's big-government agenda and resistance to market reforms, suggesting it may drive away wealth. (8)Gregory Copley evaluates Prime Minister Andy Burnham's new cabinet, specifically John Healey as Chancellor and Wes Streeting as Defense Secretary. While the government aims to boost defense spending and support Ukraine, Copley questions its legitimacy without a fresh mandate and notes a lack of long-term global strategic planning. (9)Gregory Copley covers the alienation of Canada under the Trump administration. Copley explains how Canada is diversifying its defense procurement—buying Swedish aircraft and Australian radar—rather than relying on the US. This shift threatens the NORAD partnership and results in billions of dollars lost for US aerospace industries. (10)Gregory Copley explores the "balance of ignorance," where declining literacy and social media lead to a loss of national identity. He argues that governments make poor strategic decisions because they no longer understand their own history or adversaries, citing the current US conflict with Iran as a primary example. (11)Gregory Copley explains King Charles III's role in forming Andy Burnham's government. The King's "blessing" provides constitutional legitimacy to the transition. Copley notes Burnham is the first practicing Roman Catholic Prime Minister and highlights the King's departure to Glasgow to open the Commonwealth Games. (12)Former Congressman Thaddeus McCotter discusses how rising gas prices and inflation hurt Republicans in swing states. They also examine the Trump administration's use of the Smoot-Hawley Act to threaten tariffs on Canada. McCotter views these as punitive measures that weaken the broader argument for necessary trade protections. (13)Thaddeus McCotter comments on a recent presidential address regarding the 2020 election. He argues that claiming the system is "rigged" is counterproductive for Republican turnout. McCotter suggests that voters care far more about the "price of gas" and groceries than relitigating past elections that the party lost. (14)John Batchelor and Peter Huessy review classic nuclear war films like Godzilla, On the Beach, and Dr. Strangelove. Huessy argues that while these films highlight the horrors of nuclear use, real-world focus has evolved toward deterrence and sophisticated safety systems designed to prevent accidental or unauthorized missile launches. (15)Peter Huessy continues the discussion of nuclear films like Fail Safe and The Day After. Huessy disputes claims that The Day After motivated Ronald Reagan's arms control efforts, noting Reagan was a committed advocate for nuclear reductions long before the movie's massive 1983 television broadcast. (16)Corrections applied silently: Ahmad Sharawi (4) and Thaddeus McCotter (13, 14) per the log.
Peter Huessy. Peter Huessy and John Batchelor review classic films like Godzilla, On the Beach, and Dr. Strangelove to discuss cultural fears of nuclear war. They contrast cinematic depictions of accidental launches with modern safeguards, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a credible nuclear deterrent in a complex geopolitical landscape. (15)1940

We dive into how the project came together, why the series embraces mystery and rotating protagonists, the thinking behind its striking character designs, and yes, the return of blind bag comics. It's a fun, wide-ranging discussion packed with insight into one of the year's biggest new launches.

Terminal throws readers right into a chaotic, violent world. When you were building the first issue, how did you approach onboarding readers without giving too much away? The book opens with some striking and surreal imagery, especially the eye and the idea of Maculox. What was the origin of that concept, and how central is it to the larger mythology? There's a clear tension between evolution and destruction running through the story. How did you want to frame that conflict without falling into a simple good versus evil dynamic? The first issue makes some bold narrative choices in terms of expectations around who the story might follow. Without getting into spoilers, should readers expect that kind of unpredictability to be a core part of the series? Robert and Joe, how does your collaboration work on a project like this? Are you breaking story together, dividing scripts, or building off each other's strengths in a specific way? Andy, the character designs, especially on the more villainous side, feel really eclectic and distinct. What were your inspirations when developing the look of this world and its characters? There's a bit of a “hidden world” structure here, where a regular person is pulled into something much bigger. What drew you to that kind of setup, and how do you keep it feeling fresh? The series feels like it has big, long-term potential, but also a very focused central idea. Is the plan for Terminal to be a long-running series, or are you working toward a more defined endpoint? For all three of you, what was the moment in developing Terminal where you realized this was something special or different from other superhero books you've worked on or read?
Where one summer ends another summer begins as two kings reawaken in full force to Anime Was (Not) A Mistake. Both have been sleeping beneath the bubbling magma as The Summer of Dan kicks off with Koji Hashimoto's The Return of Godzilla (1984). Our humble little podcast takes its first gargantuan steps into the Heisei Era with a reboot/sequel to the original Kaiju film that started it all. When a fishing vessel is attacked off the Japanese coast, a sole survivor, Hiroshi Okumura, claims that Godzilla is back to rage once more. This cold-blooded Kaiju spikes old Cold War tensions between Japan and the U.S.S.R. and the world must watch as this terror's wake of destruction starts anew. Intrepid reporter Jonathan must watch, in horror and awe, as Daniel pilots the Super X. Truly, this is humanity's last bastion of hope. It's going to be a long summer...

In this inspiring episode of Reading With Your Kids, we blast off from a tiny Minnesota town all the way to the International Space Station—and then settle into the balcony of a creaky old movie theater. First, Jed chats with astronaut Dr. Karen Nyberg and her co-author Anne McCallum about their beautiful picture book A Quilt of Stars: Astronaut Karen Nyberg Stitches a Dream. Karen shares how her childhood love of sewing and her dream of space travel came together when she actually sewed in space, using Velcro, Ziploc bags, and a makeshift sewing nook on the ISS. She describes the powerful "overview effect" of seeing Earth without borders and how that perspective shaped both her life and this book. Anne talks about discovering Karen's story, the global quilt project that collected over 2400 star-themed blocks from more than 30 countries, and how this book can spark family conversations about dreams, perseverance, and our shared humanity. Then we head from orbit to the projection booth with author Brad Barkley, who introduces his YA novel The Real Life of Zara Keig. Zara is a 16-year-old still grieving her mother's death, hiding out as a projectionist in a rundown theater that only shows old black-and-white monster movies. As she navigates first love, loss, and a distant dad, the book gently explores grief, mental health, and figuring out who you are—for both teens and parents. Jed and Brad highlight how co-reading this novel can open honest, heartfelt conversations in families.

We dive deep into Absolute Batman, the newly announced animated series, why he believes monthly comics need to embrace what makes the medium unique, and the creative philosophy driving one of comics' biggest successes. It's a candid, wide-ranging discussion on storytelling, the future of superhero comics, and why taking big swings matters more than ever. Visit our Patreon page to see the various tiers you can sign up for today to get in on the ground floor of AIPT Patreon. We hope to see you chatting with us on our Discord soon!

Dave: A Mischief of Magpies #1 (Bilquis Evely) Chris: Nightwing #140 (Jorge Fornes Main) Interview: Interview: Scott Snyder 1. Manga storytelling influence Joe Kelly recently mentioned how manga like One Piece can devote entire chapters to a single action sequence, something that's harder to replicate in American comics because of page counts and production realities. Is manga storytelling an influence on your work, and do you find yourself thinking about how to capture that same sense of scale and rhythm within Western comics? 2. Marvel and DC I recently spoke with Josh Williamson about writing Iron Man, and it was fascinating hearing how he's consulting on DC projects while also becoming part of Marvel's plans. Seeing creators move more freely between publishers these days, does that ever make you want to jump back into Marvel for another major project? 3. Harley Quinn and Joker The revelation that Joker is Harley's father completely reframes both characters. What made that the right relationship for the Absolute Universe, and what storytelling opportunities does it create that couldn't exist with their traditional dynamic 4. Designing Gotham's monsters Body horror and transformation have become defining visual elements of Absolute Batman. What are your guiding principles when reinventing characters like Poison Ivy, Clayface, and others while still making them instantly recognizable? 8. Absolute Batman animated series You're serving as showrunner on the newly announced Absolute Batman animated series. How does that creative role differ from making comics, and what has surprised you most about translating this version of Batman to animation? 10. Court of Owls Finally, the Court of Owls has entered the picture. Without spoiling anything, what can readers expect from your take on one of the most important Batman concepts you've ever created?

They discuss the return of El Niño, why some scientists are calling it a “Godzilla El Niño,” and what it could reveal about the future of global warming. They also explore climate adaptation, political complacency, extreme weather, technological progress, and whether humanity is prepared for the world it's creating.

When a giant green Frankenstein emerges from the ocean, he starts to take bites out of sailors like so many canapés. But after he makes his way towards mainland Japan, it's up to the crack team at the Frankenstein Institute of Technology to determine just what's going on. Is Russ Tamblyn the real monster? Will the war end with a Godzilla from the machine? Did 60's cinema have a volcano mandate? It's the episode that always bets on octopus.

It's our anniversary! Thank you for listening! Let's celebrate at the beach. Hoops (John Cusack) and his buddy George (Joel Murray) have just graduated high school. They're both a bit directionless, so they decide to spend their summer in Nantucket. Hoops needs to find himself. Is it that kind of summer? Sure is! And, Cassandra (Demi Moore) needs help saving her house and the spirit of the island or something like that. RTS goes full Godzilla with the aid of the Stork brothers, Egg (Bobcat Goldthwait) and Clay (Tom Villard). Jeremy collects bomb shells on the beach with Ack Ack (Curtis Armstrong). It's a sweet conversation piece when chatting up the beach babes. They're looking at you, Cookie (Kimberly Foster). La-Mar demonstrates his crossbow abilities. Lobsters beware! Collin becomes the king of all of Boscoe's puppies. Squid Calamari (Kristen Goelz) is pleased. Emily takes the rocket launcher right off the rack. A radio station better pay up! During all of this, there's a regatta contest that we need to win. This is one crazy summer!

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Psychonauts. We dive into (ha) the lungfish levels and the Milkman Conspiracy and talk about the tension between systems and individually scripted experiences, before turning to user questions. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: To Milkman Issues covered: a special announcement, turkeys everywhere, long digression into weird Spelunky, setting up the Lungfish, hunting down all the collectibles, an underwater bubble and moving around, consistency in levels, coming in with different player options, involving the empathy of the player, the limits of other genres in engaging empathy mechanically, the difficulty of reading the environment, the unfortunate PS4 port from the PS2, avoiding oysters, a direct lineage of creativity, becoming Godzilla, reuse of abilities when you return, every level being a genre, leading the way creatively, parallel to indie film, re-entering the levels and the tongue-in-cheek, going every direction and the costs, relearning rules each level, the cost of testing boundaries due to other mechanics, jumping between gravity spaces, describing the Milkman level, conspiracy mad-libs, being in an environment where you will fail again and again, memorable levels here and elsewhere, zingers of stingers, lines in movies vs lines in games, reinforcing them, a typical day in the life for a game designer, iterating to solve problems, getting people on board and carrying vision, people who show what's going on with the project, building consensus. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Spelunky, Andy Nealen, mysterydip, Beyond Good & Evil, Crash Bandicoot, King's Quest, Costume Quest, Headlander, Keeper, Stacking, Trenched/Iron Brigade, Tim Schafer, Daron Stinnett, LucasArts, Community, Velvet Underground, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Psychodyssey, Nintendo, Majora's Mask, Microsoft, Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, Outer Wilds, Portal, Duke Nuke'em, John Carpenter, Them, Roddy Rowdy Piper, Sasha/scarytiger, Jonno, Starfighter, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.

What if North Korea tried to capture an asteroid and turn it into a second moon? What if they created their own version of Godzilla — a giant iron-eating monster that leads a peasant revolution?This is the bizarre, wildly imaginative, and heavily propagandistic world of North Korean science fiction.In this episode of My Dark Path, host MF Thomas explores the surprising stories, books, and films created under the Kim regime — from the thrilling asteroid-mining epic Course No. 651 to Pulgasari (North Korea's homegrown kaiju classic), children's propaganda tales, robots, space battles, and how Kim Jong-il personally sparked a sci-fi boom to shape the future.Timestamps:0:00 – Course No. 651: North Korea's Plan to Create a Second Moon4:05 – Welcome to My Dark Path7:10 – The Division of Korea & the Birth of the DPRK12:55 – Socialist Realism and the Rise of North Korean Sci-Fi18:40 – Kim Jong-il's 1988 Speech That Sparked a Sci-Fi Boom24:15 – Robots, Propaganda & Anti-American Themes29:50 – Social Science Fiction & the Politics of NK Sci-Fi35:10 – Children's Sci-Fi: Brainwashing the Next Generation40:05 – Pulgasari: North Korea's Insane Homegrown Godzilla43:35 – Final Thoughts: What North Korean Sci-Fi RevealsIf you love weird history, propaganda deep-dives, and stories that sound too crazy to be true, this episode is for you.

Mechanical Violator Hakaider (1995) synopsis: “The popular villain/antihero from the classic "Kikaider" TV series stars in his own movie, as a dark defender in a post-apocalyptic future.”Starring: Yûji Kishimoto, Mai Hôshô, Jiro Okamoto, and Yasuaki HondaDirector: Keita AmemiyaThis week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review Mechanical Violator Hakaider! A violent, post-apocalyptic version of The Power Rangers!

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, we watched Roland Emmerich's attempt to bring Godzilla to Hollywood in the appropriately titled Godzilla. Ostensibly a film about the dangers of nuclear testing, Godzilla is a total mess, a miserable failure that deserves its poor reputation.We talked about that deservedly poor reputation, as well as changing American perceptions of the military as the 1990s came to a close. Tune in!In our next episode, we tackle Michael Bay's masterpiece Armageddon, one of two movies that year about an asteroid hitting earth. And our Patreon, we watched two movies about the Nuremburg trials — from 2000 and 2025 — and talked about them. Listen to that episode, and more, at patreon.com/unclearpod.
Some episodes start with breaking news.This one starts with grown adults passionately debating whether the Juicy Fruit commercial was secretly the weirdest advertisement ever made.Welcome to another comedy podcast where absolutely nothing goes according to plan.The crew dives headfirst into nostalgia after discovering an old collection of TV commercials that somehow unlocked memories nobody asked for. One innocent Juicy Fruit jingle quickly turns into an investigation involving skiing, bananas, questionable marketing decisions, and whether "Take a sniff, pull it out" should have ever made it onto national television.Naturally, things only get weirder from there.Moon and Rizz square off once again in another edition of Match Up With Moon, where the trivia somehow covers pocket watches, Salvador Dalí, Oreo history, sunscreen, Weird Al, Netflix originals, Air Bud, Godzilla, James Bond, harmonicas, golf scoring, accordion buttons, and the Bare Naked Ladies...all in one game.It's the kind of trivia round that makes you wonder what exactly King Scott's browser history looks like.Expect plenty of roasting, second-guessing, accidental confidence, forgotten TV shows, wildly incorrect movie franchise guesses, and the usual chaos that somehow keeps this show moving every single morning.Highlights include:• The Juicy Fruit commercial that gets progressively stranger every time they replay it.• Moon trying to identify what flavor Juicy Fruit actually is.• Rafe questioning why gum companies targeted skiers.• Rizz completely blanking on a TV show he absolutely knows.• Air Bud becoming the unexpected MVP of the day.• King Scott asking trivia questions nobody has ever prepared for in their entire lives.• One surprisingly heated debate about accordion bass buttons.As always, the laughs come from watching everyone confidently explain things they absolutely shouldn't be confident about.If you love random conversations that spiral completely out of control, pop culture nonsense, nostalgic commercials, weird facts, and friends roasting each other for nearly half an hour, this comedy podcast has everything you didn't know you needed.Whether you're listening during your commute, pretending to work, or hiding from responsibilities for a little while, thanks for hanging out with us.If you laughed, yelled an answer at your speakers, or immediately wanted to look up an old commercial on YouTube afterward, mission accomplished.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The weather is hotter than a dashboard in August, which naturally leads the gang to ask the important scientific questions... like whether eating ridiculously spicy food actually cools you off or if someone's "Mexican friend" just made that up.Then things take an unexpected turn when the crew debates one of life's biggest questions: January or July? One side argues for sunshine, pools and BBQs, while the other passionately defends fireplaces, blankets and seasonal depression. Somehow everyone makes a compelling argument... even if none of it makes any sense.Meanwhile, Learn officially declares Dry July after an absolutely legendary night that ended exactly the way every adult swears will "never happen again."
