We kick off FOLLOW UP by checking in on Elon Musk's personal dumpster fire, where the EU is investigating Grok for deepfake slop while Tesla's “unsupervised” robotaxis turned out to be supervised by literal chase cars — shocker. At least some of you are getting Siri settlement crumbs in your bank accounts, though you could probably double it betting against Musk's worthless promises on Polymarket.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Tesla is killing off the Model S and X to build robots while sales crater, proving that mixing hard-right politics with EV sales is a brilliant move for the balance sheet. Meanwhile, the corporate bloodbath continues with massive layoffs at Ubisoft, Vimeo (courtesy of the Bending Spoons buzzsaw), and Amazon, because “removing bureaucracy” is apparently HR-speak for 16,000 families losing their livelihoods. If that's not enough, Google is settling yet another privacy suit for $135 million, the EU is threatening to weaponize its tech sovereignty against the US, and the Trump administration wants Gemini to write federal regulations—because if there's one thing we want drafting airline safety rules, it's a hallucinating chatbot.Still IN THE NEWS, Waymo is under federal investigation for passing school buses and hitting children, while South Korea's new AI laws manage to please absolutely no one. Record labels are suing Anna's Archive for a cool $13 trillion—roughly three times the GDP of India—and the Winklevoss twins have finally admitted that NFTs are dead by shuttering Nifty Gateway.We pivot to MEDIA CANDY, where the Patriots and Seahawks are heading to Super Bowl 60, and the Winter Olympics are descending on Milan. We're doing the math on the Starfleet Academy timeline, celebrating the return of Ted Lasso and Shrinking, and trying to decide if Henry Cavill is the second coming of Timothy Dalton in the Highlander reboot. Plus, Jessica Jones is back in the Daredevil: Born Again trailer, and Colin Farrell's Sugar is returning to explain that wild noir twist we all totally saw coming.In APPS & DOODADS, the TikTok Armageddon is upon us as the new US owners break the app and drive everyone to UpScrolled, while Native Instruments enters insolvency, leaving our music-making dreams in restructuring limbo. Apple is dropping AirTag 2 with precision finding for your watch, which is great for finding the keys you lost while doom-scrolling.We wrap up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, featuring the new Muppets trailer and Steve Whitmire's deep thoughts on the state of the felt, plus a look at the artisans in Disneyland Handcrafted. Finally, Looney Tunes finds a new home on Turner Classic Movies, proving that the classics never die—they just move to a cable channel your parents actually watch. Dave finally learns about the Insta360 camera, a countertop dishwasher but no Animal Crackers, and a guide to gas masks and googles... for no particular reason.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

Paul Dano is officially weighing in on Quentin Tarantino's recent comments, and the conversation has sparked a bigger discussion about actors, auteurs, and how modern Hollywood views performances. On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down what Dano had to say and why his response is getting so much attention. We also dig into new details revealing that Wonder Man was nearly Marvel's version of Batgirl, how close the project came to being shelved, and what that says about Marvel's shifting strategy. Plus, huge news for fantasy fans as Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere scores a rare Apple TV deal, with Mistborn being eyed for movies and The Stormlight Archive for television. On top of that, we react to the first look at Henry Cavill in the upcoming Highlander reboot and discuss Netflix officially moving forward with a live-action Gundam project.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Mike back on the show to discuss the 1986 fantasy flick The Highlander.  In this time-spanning epic, a French dude plays a Scottish dude.  A Scottish dude plays an Egyptian dude disguised as a Spanish dude, and Mr Krabs plays the bad guy.  In a movie that purports that there can only be One, there does seem to be a lot of these guys kicking around.  There are some women in this movie, but they are just there so there is no mistaking the sexuality of the protagonist, because if they weren't there, mistakes would be made.  Enjoy the podcast. Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.#jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new

Shat The Movies unsheathes the katana and heads to modern-day Japan for The Hunted, a mid-'90s action oddity that asks a very important question: What if Christopher Lambert was a reluctant samurai caught in a centuries-old ninja blood feud? Released in 1995 and promptly forgotten, this movie blends corporate intrigue, mystical warrior clans, and neon-lit Tokyo alley fights into one very strange package. Gene and Big D break down Lambert's perpetual confusion, Joan Chen's elegant menace, and the film's commitment to taking ancient honor codes extremely seriously—despite feeling like it was shot between episodes of Highlander. Along the way, they debate whether The Hunted is an underrated cult action flick or just a slick-looking B-movie that never quite finds its footing. Behold The Hunted, a hidden gem of '90s action cinema and proof that not every movie needs ninjas, boardrooms and spiritual destiny all in the same script.

Your hosts Barry and Julia return for the 6th season of SIMAFC to discuss Russell Mulcahy's "Highlander" (1986). This cult favorite and surprise franchise spawner stars the French Christopher Lambert as a Scottish warrior and Sean Connery as an Egyptian/Spanish mentor. It doesn't make sense and neither does the Dracula-esque story. What works? The awesome tunes of Queen, clanging sword battles and quotable dialogue. We discuss how old Connor McCloud really was when he "died," how many wives he could have had and how even men at 400 years old don't understand women. Follow the show behind the scenes on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic.

Photographer Dennys Ilic discusses his passion for candid photography and his dream of working as a unit stills photographer on major sci-fi and fantasy projects like *War Hammer 40K* or *Highlander*, fueled by his love for gaming culture. He shares his experience as a boutique publisher, noting the continued success of his first book, *Men of Science Fiction*, and the logistics of managing his book stock in Australia, which he may visit at Easter instead of Christmas due to show preparations. The discussion also touches on the universal comfort of coming home after long work periods, with Dennys reflecting on a recent period of relaxation after a shooting series, and Paris Chong mentioning her upcoming 15-hour trip to Greece for portfolio reviews.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Dennys Ilichttps://youtu.be/c_IR4DRVq6ohttps://www.theparischongshow.com

This episode has nothing to do with Highlander, although that is a mistake on my part. I'm sure it would have been a far more awesome episode if it was about Highlander, but it's not. That's my fault, and I'm owning it. We just have to collect ourselves and move on. Why don't we try to just enjoy whatever this week's episode actually IS about? I'm sure it's good. Well, I'm sure it's fine. Probably.

Epic landscapes deserve an equally epic way to travel. We're diving into the romance and reality of rail: why trains make holidays start at the platform, how sleepers turn miles into memories, and which routes around the world are worth planning your next adventure around.We start with five reasons trains win: lower emissions and real sustainability gains, genuine comfort with room to move, dining cars and proper beds on night services, centre-to-centre arrivals that beat transfers, and the human connection that long-haul flights often erase. From there, we share our top 10 rides: Norway's Flåm Railway twisting from fjord to mountain, Scotland's Highlander leg of the Caledonian Sleeper, the Night Riviera to Penzance with a seaside breakfast, Vietnam's Reunification Express and its restful private berths, and Japan's immaculate Shinkansen that makes precision feel effortless. Add New Zealand's TranzAlpine across the Southern Alps, Switzerland's UNESCO Bernina route, Sri Lanka's lush Ella to Kandy journey with open windows and waves, India's Nilgiri Mountain Railway “toy train,” and Amtrak's unhurried yet soulful Coast Starlight.We also open our notebook of dreams. The Ghan across Australia's red centre calls with big skies and outback tones. Canada's Rocky Mountaineer tempts us with glass-domed cars through the Rockies. And South Africa's Rovos Rail pairs classic carriages with sweeping views to Cape Town and beyond. Along the way we share booking tips, comfort hacks, and how to swap premium expresses for local trains without losing the scenery. If you're craving slow travel, rail itineraries, sleeper train advice, or scenic routes that deliver real immersion, this conversation is your map.Got a favourite rail journey we missed?

Introduction of the 1990 Richard Linklater film Slacker and its unconventional narrative structure focusing on small amounts of time with multiple characters. Deep Dive into Cultural and Generational Impact (07:48 - 18:08) Discussion on the generational divide (Gen X vs Older Millennials) and how the film captures the directionlessness and creative spirit of early 90s youth culture, especially in Austin, Texas. The movie's reflection on mental health, societal roles, and the slacker ethos as a distinct identity with unique struggles and ambitions. Storytelling Methods and Character Vignettes (18:08 - 33:46) Exploration of the film's narrative style: non-linear, vignette-driven, character-focused, with no resolved plot but connected by settings and interactions. Notable memorable characters and scenes: hit-and-run guy, conspiracy theorist, woman recently discharged from a mental hospital, and the 'you should quit' mantra. Film Production Context and Cultural Legacy (33:47 - 50:34) Examination of the extremely low $23,000 shooting budget using film stock, guerrilla filmmaking style, and unpaid or deferred payment cast and crew. Discussion on Austin's artistic community's role in the movie's creation and legacy. The film as a time capsule and cultural snapshot of Austin's 1990 scene. Comparison to Other Films and Audience Engagement (50:35 - 01:00:49) Comparison with contemporaneous movies, e.g., Dances with Wolves, Misery and other 'weird' indie films, and Linklater's other work like Dazed and Confused. The film's thematic core of human connection and authentic interaction despite being a clear time capsule. ️ Personal Experiences and Generational Nostalgia (01:00:50 - 01:07:45) Hosts share personal anecdotes about high school experiences, alternative schools, and the value of finding 'freak' communities. Reflection on generational transitions and the continuation of youth culture patterns despite changing technology and social tools. Accessibility and Appeal of "Slacker" Today (01:07:46 - 01:14:15) Discussion on how the film's reputation preceded the viewing experience, yet it remains accessible and enjoyable regardless of familiarity or age. Analysis of the film's tightly scripted dialogue despite its casual and naturalistic style, and comparison with mumblecore movies and shows like Seinfeld. Closing Remarks, Promotions, and Actionable Content for Audience (01:14:15 - 01:20:16) Guest Xan Sprouse promotes her podcasts Gold Standard and Drunk Cinema and her social media (udinax19). Case and Sam promote the Certain POV network, including Patreon tiers, Discord, YouTube channel growth, and new shows like Trade School. Announcement of next episode covering Highlander 2: The Quickening and closing credits.  

For our 60th episode, we weave words with DIY working class wizard Will Wright. Will is an occult artist, a narrative film maker and a magic practitioner. He finds himself at the intersection of many realms and subcultures and is the editor of acclaimed occult art zine Wyrd Zine, exploring contemporary shamanism, animism and visionary art.Here, in the Borderlands, we delve into a variety of diverse, yet interconnected, themes. Our lost relationship with the Neanderthals. The Cosmic Tree of Yggdrasil as an image of the human nervous system. Meetings with the fae and machine elves. A call to anarcho-animism. Stories of magic and wonder.WILL WRIGHT LINKShttps://www.instagram.com/wyrd.zine/https://www.wyldheartandwright.co.uk/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL contact@intheborderlands.com TORGRIM'S LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL'S LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESAlejandro Jodorowskyhttps://www.instagram.com/alejandro.jodorowsky/Mad Maxhttps://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Max_(franchise)Alan Moorehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_MooreStanley Kubrickhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_KubrickAkira Kurosawahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_KurosawaFrench New Wavehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_New_WaveThe Texas Chainsaw Massacrehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Texas_Chain_Saw_MassacreJaws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaws_(film)Lars von Trierhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lars_von_TrierAlfred Hitchcockhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_HitchcockPanpsychismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PanpsychismNLPhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programmingChaos Magickhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_magichttps://books.google.se/books/about/This_Is_Chaos_Embracing_the_Future_of_Ma.html?id=sOkZEQAAQBAJ&redir_esc=yRobert Anton Wilsonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Anton_WilsonOdinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OdinTerence McKennahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_McKennaDennis McKennahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_McKennaHeroic dosehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGqFxjQI3isKilling Jokehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_JokeThe KLFhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_KLFMaria Kvilhaughttps://www.patreon.com/mariakvilhaug/about?Brian Bates: The Way of Wyrdhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/767358.The_Way_Of_WyrdKundalinihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KundaliniVedashttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VedasRené Descarteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_DescartesBaruch Spinozahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baruch_SpinozaMidgardhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MidgardPsilocybinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PsilocybinInclosure acthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclosure_actMímirhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%ADmirTitanshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TitansNephilimhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NephilimJötunnhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6tunnFlood mythhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_mythFáfnirhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A1fnirJörmungandrhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6rmungandrFairyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairyHighlanderhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlander_(film)Herne the Hunterhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herne_the_HunterRobin of Sherwoodhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_of_SherwoodValhalla Risinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valhalla_Rising_(film)Nicholas Winding Refnhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Winding_RefnThe Neon Demonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Neon_DemonDario Argentohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dario_ArgentoSwamp Thinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swamp_Thing_(comic_book)Howl´s Moving Castlehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howl%27s_Moving_Castle_(film)Blurhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blur_(band)Göbekli Tepehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_TepeSomahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma_(drink)Paul Stametshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_StametsSanxingdui Bronze Treehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SanxingduiArchonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArchonThe Last of Ushttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_of_Us_(TV_series)Nicole Kidmanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_Kidman

Peter Bellwood (1939–2025) was many things — screenwriter, satirist, collaborator, mischief-maker, and one of the great characters in Ojai's creative community.After rising through the English Satire Boom of the 1960s, performing alongside Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, and writing the cult classic Highlander, Peter moved to Ojai in 1993 to escape the L.A. riots. He quickly became part of the valley's daily rhythm — the wit in the corner of the Coffee Connection, the conspirator behind countless theater projects, and a friend whose generosity and curiosity seemed endless.In this memorial episode, a tapestry of voices gathers to celebrate the man who filled so many lives with laughter, wonder, and stories:Malcolm McDowell, who knew Peter since the 1960s and remained a dear friend throughout his lifeMark Lewis, journalist and chronicler of Peter's remarkable journeyJerry Dunn, reflecting on Peter's remarkable generosity and creativityKim Maxwell, who collaborated with Peter on stage projects at Theater 150Tom Miller, sharing a London voicemail about Peter's lifelong influenceJon Furness, proprietor of the Coffee Connection, where Peter held court dailyJB White and Jim Lashly, founders of Household Gods and longtime creative partnersTogether, they paint a portrait of a man who lived fully in the realm of imagination — and who made Ojai brighter, funnier, and more alive merely by being here.Hosted by Bret Bradigan, this episode is not a eulogy but a celebration of a singular life, lived entirely in stories.

Director Russell Mulcahy going all out for better or worse! All that and more in this sequel that takes more big swings than the ending of Signs and was such a dramatic departure from the original film that they released a new version of the movie in an attempt to make people forget the theatrical cut ever existed!

They're on a boat! This week, Emily and V finally tackle a topic requested by one of our wonderful Patreon supporters, @elismor, who also wrote up an AMAZING primer about the fandom and the event. We're venturing back to the wonderful, weird world wide web of the late '90s to see a mailing list [WAR!] -- a round-robin, not-technically-roleplaying-but-it-kinda-is, fanfiction extravaganza. But delightfully, more than being about producing more #content, it was about... making friends. And fandoming together. And we think that's beautiful.

The STEAM punks meet new Highlander Charter School Principal, Dr. J, on her 12th day. Hear about her 200+ vinyl collection (Frank Sinatra & Marvin Gaye are top two), and her mission to make Highlander a second home and foster student leadership. Dr. J shares her vision for the future, including community outreach, addressing the cold building, and unveiling the "caught being good" passes. The students discuss the need for more sports and the challenges of long commutes (some wake up at 4 a.m.!). It's all about building relationships and family.#STEAMBox #HighlanderCharter #DrJ #Education #Principal #VinylCollection #StudentVoice #SchoolCulture #Steampunks
