It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... a robot cockroach? In this cinematic story about cockroaches, cyborg technology, search-and-rescue science, and underwater exploration, Mindy, Guy Raz, and the crew take you on a wild adventure to discover how scientists are transforming an unlikely insect into a tiny, remote-controlled rescue robot!

This adventure is packed with movie-theater mayhem, hilarious hijinks, scientific surprises, and one seriously superpowered six-legged hero. By connecting laughter to learning, this cockroach episode shows how scientists can look to the natural world for unexpected solutions to some of humanity's biggest challenges.While heading to the movies to see Pigeon Patrol, Mindy, Guy, Dennis, Reggie, Gramma G-Force, and Thomas Fingerling stumble across a preview for a very different kind of superhero movie: RoachBot: Super Cyborg Scuba Scout! But when Mindy discovers that the movie is inspired by a real scientific study, their trip to the theater quickly turns into a real-life science adventure!In this episode, kids and families will discover what a cyborg actually is, and how scientists can combine living organisms with technology. They'll learn why cockroaches make surprisingly useful search-and-rescue helpers, thanks to their ability to squeeze through tiny spaces, scramble over messy terrain, and move using their own muscles without needing batteries. They'll also discover how engineers designed a miniature waterproof shell and oxygen system that allowed a cyborg cockroach to walk underwater for hours before returning to land.

As we all count down the hotly anticipated release of Grown Ups 3 in H1 ‘27, today we explore the sequel to the adored 1996 comedy classic Happy Gilmore, Happy Gilmore 2, directed by Kyle Newacheck (Workaholics). This cinematic project could be considered the artful packaging of a financial transaction between 200 brands and personalities. It could be considered a rather cynical and lazy successor to a film that was responsible for making Adam Sandler a breakout hit, and household name. It could also be held up as a rare example of Rob Schneider being seen amongst normal entertainers in 2026. What is could not be identified as, however, is a good movie. Hosted on Acast.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Sidey, Dan, Reegs and Cris take on Steven Soderbergh's Traffic, the Oscar-winning 2000 ensemble drama about the war on drugs, starring Michael Douglas, Benicio del Toro, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Don Cheadle, Luis Guzmán, Erika Christensen, Dennis Quaid and several thousand other people you recognise from better-lit rooms.The episode begins with Reegs back from France, a heroic return to walking football, a 6–2 win, snacks from Grand Marché, Rioja on the table and the usual sense that the podcast might be more structured if anyone genuinely wanted that. Recent viewing includes Dan on Early Man, Ted Lasso and Grown Ups, Reegs going deep into Reacher, Cris bringing a bit of cartel-adjacent homework energy, and Sidey watching Barry plus Netflix serial-killer thriller The Whisper Man, a film he enjoys until the last-minute ghost business turns up and starts knocking over the furniture.Before the main film, the dads count down Steven Soderbergh and Soderbergh-adjacent favourites. Cris explains how Benicio del Toro led him towards Traffic and Che, while the conversation takes in the myth and reality of Che Guevara, Soderbergh's habit of editing and shooting under pseudonyms, and the frankly annoying fact that he appears to have made several films since this paragraph began. The list includes Solaris, Contagion, Syriana, Logan Lucky, Erin Brockovich, Magic Mike, Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Thirteen, Haywire, Her, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and Sidey's beloved Out of Sight, which he still considers a 10-out-of-10 film thanks to Clooney, J-Lo, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Keener, David Holmes and the sort of charm that should probably be illegal.Then it is time for Traffic, a film the dads remember as serious, long, colour-coded and very much trying to win awards, which, to be fair, it did. The review follows the film's interlocking stories: Javier Rodriguez trying to do good police work in Mexico while the system around him is already captured by cartel politics; DEA agents Montel Gordon and Ray Castro attempting to protect an informant long enough to bring down Carl Ayala; Helena Ayala discovering that being a wealthy pregnant society wife becomes much more complicated when your husband is dragged away by federal agents; and Robert Wakefield becoming America's new drug czar just as his own daughter Caroline falls into addiction.The dads dig into the film's bleak central point: the drug war is not really a war that can be won, because every apparent victory is also part of somebody else's business model. Sidey describes the film as showing where drugs come from, how they move, how people try to stop them, where demand lives and why the whole machine is so futile. Cris particularly likes the Mexico storyline and the way the film's colour palette helps you instantly know which world you are in, while Reegs connects the whole thing to the kind of institutional fatalism later explored in The Wire.A major talking point is the subtitle disaster. Dan and Sidey both watched versions where the Spanish sections were not properly translated, which is not ideal when huge parts of your Oscar-winning bilingual drama are in Spanish. Dan's version apparently just told him people were “speaking Spanish”, which he had already managed to work out by being awake. Reegs uses this as a chance to grumble, correctly, about the loss of physical media and the way streaming platforms can serve up broken versions of films without anyone seeming to care.The film itself gives the dads plenty to chew on: Benicio del Toro's quiet moral centre, the funfair arrest and “don't shoot the clown”, Luis Guzmán's excellent Ray Castro and his brutal car-bomb exit, Catherine Zeta-Jones going from shocked wife to ruthless operator, Dennis Quaid sniffing around the Ayala money, Caroline Wakefield's awful spiral, Michael Douglas having to confront the war on drugs happening in his own house, and Javier's beautifully modest final request for electricity so kids can play baseball at night.Verdicts are positive, but not breathless. Sidey thinks Traffic is extremely well made, handheld, fluid, serious and still strong, but also calls it a one-and-done rather than a film he would rush to revisit. Dan struggles more, partly because the missing subtitles kneecapped the experience and partly because the film is long, worthy and occasionally lost up its own arse; if forced to choose, he is watching Gladiator twice before watching Traffic twice. Cris is warmer on it, praising the acting, the structure, the Mexican material and the way the separate stories connect without turning into a neat crossover event.So the Bad Dads verdict lands somewhere between strong recommend and medium-well: a serious, grown-up Soderbergh drama about drugs, power, money, family and futility, admired more than loved, and improved enormously if your streaming service can manage the advanced technical feature known as subtitles.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Nothing brings a morning show together quite like football, competition and immediately arguing over whether one member of the team's score should even count.Episode 101 kicks off with the crew sorting through their Seahawks picks and realizing Devon's presence has created a strategic probem in the season-long competition against The Fast Lane. If one team has an extra player, does Devon's score count? Do they add somebody to the other side? Take the best five scores? Pretend nobody thought about this until the season had already started?All excellent questions. Very few useful answers.What we do know is that Rizz is technically sitting in first place, Moon is second, Lern is third, Rafe is behind them, and Devon's zero becomes the center of a debate that feels significantly more serious than the actual stakes deserve. In other words, exactly how a funny podcast should handle sports.Then it's time for Take Five, sponsored by Universal Windows Direct, with listeners trying to match answers with members of the show for a chance at tickets to Candlebox, Violent Femmes, Toadies with Local H, Babymetal with Halestorm and Rush.The concept is simple: one member of the crew goes into isolation while a caller answers three category questions. When the crew member comes back, they get five guesses to match the caller.Simple game. Deeply complicated people.Lern goes first with Tom, who needs her to match an NFL team with an animal mascot, a South American country and a Will Ferrell movie. “Jaguars” takes Lern all the way to her fifth guess, but she gets there. Anchorman proves much easier, and Tom walks away a winner.Then Moon gets paired with Ray, and things immediately begin deteriorating.Ray picks “I Want to Hold Your Hand” for a Beatles song, Big Daddy for an Adam Sandler movie and Deep Purple for a band with a color in its name. Moon responds to the Beatles category by initially offering “Let It Go,” which would have been revolutionary news for both John Lennon and the Walt Disney Company.He recovers with actual Beatles songs, but never finds Ray's answer.Then comes Adam Sandler. Happy Gilmore. Billy Madison. The Wedding Singer. Grown Ups. Punch-Drunk Love. Moon circles practically the entire Sandler cinematic universe without landing on Big Daddy.Deep Purple becomes even more painful. Moon rattles through Blue October, Green Day, Blue Öyster Cult and The White Stripes, at one point getting tantalizingly close with “deep blue something.” Deep Purple was sitting right there, waving at him from across the room.Ray and Moon lose together. Friendship through mutual disappointment.Next up, Victoria is paired with Devon for categories including a famous person named Mike, a microwave food brand and something with a handle. Victoria chooses Mike Tyson, Banquet and a pitcher.Devon immediately says Mike Myers…and then discovers that apparently every other famous Mike has been temporarily deleted from her brain.Fortunately, “TV dinner” is close enough to Banquet for the crew to show mercy, and Devon somehow lands on coffee cup for something with a handle — remarkably close to Victoria's pitcher and enough to prove once again that Devon can be sneakily dangerous in these games even while claiming she knows only one Mike.Finally, Rizz enters isolation for the last round.His caller chooses Dr. Strange for a famous fictional doctor, Frosted Flakes for a breakfast cereal and Lex Luthor for a famous bald person.Rizz tears through Dr. Dolittle, Dr. Seuss, Dr. Feelgood, Dr. Frank-N-Furter and Doctor Octopus without finding Doctor Strange. Then he absolutely crushes Frosted Flakes on his first try, setting up one final category for the win.Name a famous bald person.Vin Diesel.The Rock.Bruce Willis.Howie Mandel.Jason Statham.All extremely bald. All extremely famous. All completely wrong.The answer was Lex Luthor.That leads to the perfectly reasonable postgame argument over whether “famous bald person” should cause a human being to think of an actual celebrity or a fictional supervillain. Technically Lex Luthor is famous. Technically the caller followed the rules. Technically none of this makes Rizz feel any better.Episode 101 is a funny podcast built around exactly the kind of low-stakes chaos The Rizzuto Show somehow turns into a major competitive event: Seahawks strategy, questionable team math, listeners trying to crawl inside the crew's brains, Moon confusing Frozen with The Beatles, Devon forgetting famous Mikes exist and Rizz losing to the most famous bald supervillain on Earth.It's Take Five, except everybody's dignity gets fewer than five chances.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 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.

Remember the thrill of a brand-new Trapper Keeper, freshly sharpened pencils, new clothes, new classes, and walking into school knowing you were officially one grade older? Why did we stop getting that feeling just because we grew up? In Episode 129 of Tales from The Lane, Kate takes a playful look at the internet's obsession with "September resets" and asks what back-to-school season could look like for those of us whose lives require slightly more maintenance than washing the duvet cover, restocking the fridge, and taking a hot-girl walk. Because while a Saturday reset probably isn't going to overhaul a grown-up life, there is something powerful about using these natural moments of transition to notice where we are, shake up our routines, and decide who we want to become next. Kate shares seven ways she's harnessing that back-to-school energy this September, including: Choosing something new to learn or improve Picking up an "extracurricular" purely because it's fun Finding your grown-up version of the new Trapper Keeper Refreshing your wardrobe without buying an entirely new one Using scent to mark a new season Renewing old friendships and making room for new ones Creating your own step-up ceremony to celebrate how much you've grown Kate also reflects on her own six-year evolution from professional cellist and teacher to coach, author, speaker, podcaster, and entrepreneur, and the throughlines she can finally see emerging from all of the experiments along the way. Because you didn't become the person you are today overnight. And you're not done becoming her. If this episode has you excited about what's next, enrollment is open for the Creators Leadership Mastermind, officially beginning in October. But you don't have to wait until then to start benefiting from the group, office hours, conversations, and accountability. The Creators Leadership Mastermind is designed for people with a meaningful project, goal, or next chapter they're ready to actually follow through on. Book a short call with Kate to learn more and see whether the room is right for you.

They discover that as the mice practiced, the activity of their neurons became more organized—offering a WOW-worthy glimpse into how practice can help the brain get better at remembering and performing tasks!This episode is a hilarious journey into the science of learning and memory. Along the way, kids and families will discover how neurons communicate, how scientists study brains to understand behavior, and how repeated practice can strengthen the brain's ability to remember. And, of course, Mindy puts the science to the ultimate test as she attempts to transform her truly terrible baseball stadium organ playing into something resembling actual music!This is the Who, What, When, Where, Why, How, and Wow of practice, memory, neurons, learning, and the incredible science of how our brains get better at things over time!✨ Don't miss the chance to explore even further with Wow in the World:Grownups can visit tinkercast.com/join-twaaw to join the World Organization of Wowzers (WOW) and unlock exclusive activities, birthday cards, quarterly mailings, first dibs at events, and a welcome kit with an autographed photo of Mindy & Guy Raz!
