Is Lanterns officially the first massive television hit of James Gunn's DCU? With the Lanterns finale right around the corner, new numbers claim the HBO series is averaging approximately 19 MILLION viewers per episode. On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the reported viewership numbers for Lanterns, the response to the season so far, and what its success could mean for Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Green Lantern, and the future of DC Studios. With the finale approaching, we'll also look back at the season and discuss whether Lanterns has lived up to the hype. Has the series successfully established Aaron Pierre's John Stewart as one of the major characters of the new DCU? And where does Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan go from here? NO FINALE SPOILERS YET — we'll save the full season and finale spoiler discussion until after the episode airs. We also have a potentially enormous development for Hollywood. Warner Bros. and Paramount are preparing to become Skydance, and a new trailer promoting the merger is highlighting the absolutely enormous collection of franchises that will exist under the combined company. We're talking DC, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Top Gun, Mortal Kombat and many more. What happens when this many major entertainment properties exist under one corporate umbrella? And most importantly for DC fans, what does this mean for James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Studios? #Lanterns #GreenLantern #JohnStewart #HalJordan #AaronPierre #KyleChandler #DCU #DCStudios #JamesGunn #WarnerBros #Paramount #Skydance  #MovieNews #TVNews #KristianHarloffShow

EVEN MORE about this episode!What actually happens inside the brain when someone channels—and who, or what, are they communicating with? Julie Ryan sits down with Darryl Anka, who has spent more than 40 years channeling the entity he calls Bashar, for a fascinating conversation about altered states, consciousness, UFO encounters, spirit guides, belief systems, soul purpose, and the nature of reality itself.Darryl's extraordinary journey began after two close-range UFO sightings in 1973. Years later, he attended a channeling class and began experiencing an intense altered state that eventually developed into his decades-long work with Bashar.But what happens to Darryl while he's channeling?Darryl discusses EEG testing conducted during the making of his documentary First Contact and what he was told about changes in his brain activity while entering the channeling state. Julie shares her own experience having her brain scanned while communicating with Spirit, and together they explore whether channeling may involve measurable changes in consciousness.Then comes an even bigger question:Who are we actually communicating with when we channel?Darryl shares his understanding of Bashar and describes channeling as potentially connecting with information beyond ordinary conscious awareness. Julie and Darryl compare their experiences with spirit guides, soul families, angelic beings, intuition, imagination, and altered states of consciousness.Darryl also explains why he believes everyone experiences forms of channeling when deeply immersed in creativity or doing something they love.The conversation then turns toward one of Bashar's best-known teachings: following your highest excitement. Darryl explains a five-step framework for identifying what excites you, acting on it to the best of your ability, releasing attachment to the outcome, maintaining a constructive state, and examining beliefs that arise along the way.Julie and Darryl explore how beliefs may shape perception and behavior, why people remain stuck in circumstances they consciously say they don't want, and how identifying underlying beliefs can help change recurring patterns.They also venture into provocative questions about physical reality, imagination, soul roles, extraterrestrial intelligence, spiritual guidance, and whether our earthly lives may have a much larger purpose than we realize.And finally, Julie asks her signature question:Why do we incarnate?Darryl's answer brings the entire conversation full circle—from knowing something intellectually to experiencing it through physical life.Whether you believe channeling represents communication with another intelligence, spiritual guidance, or an unusual state of consciousness, this conversation offers a fascinating look at what happens when we explore the boundaries of the mind.Guest Biography:Darryl Anka is an internationally known speaker, author, filmmaker, and channel who has spent more than 40 years exploring metaphysics and consciousness through his work with Bashar Communications. His seminars have inspired more than 20 books published in the U.S. and Japan. Darryl also has an extensive career in film, contributing visual effects, storyboards, sets, and designs to major productions including Star Trek, Iron Man, The Aviator, and Pirates of the Caribbean. He has written, directed, and produced three internationally distributed films and is the author of the sci-fi novel series Shards of a Shattered Mirror.Episode Chapters:(0:00:00) He's Been Channeling Bashar for 40 Years(0:02:00) Two Close-Range UFO Encounters Changed Everything(0:09:55) What Did It Feel Like When Bashar First Appeared?(0:17:57) What Happens to the Brain During Channeling?(0:26:03) Who Are You Actually Talking to When You Channel?(0:35:02) Is It Intuition, Imagination—or Something Else?(0:42:00) Bashar's 5-Step Formula for Following Your Soul Path(0:47:46) Are Hidden Beliefs Controlling Your Reality?(0:54:30) What If Physical Reality Isn't What We Think?(0:58:14) Following Your Passion in the Real World(1:04:21) Why Do Our Souls Choose to Incarnate?➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️Download the Ask Julie Ryan® App➡️ Julie's Intuitive Trainings✏️Ask Julie a Question!

She was a nutritionist in St. Louis with a new camera she'd bought to photograph the stars. She didn't believe in any of this.⠀Then the sky started answering back.⠀Diamond craft over her neighborhood. A voice named Talia in her head. A future self she didn't know was her future self, teaching her how to make contact. A blue-skinned being from Andromeda who turned out to be the woman staring back from her bathroom mirror.⠀Today Lily Nova joins me to talk about what she's seen through her lens, what her guides have told her about 3I/ATLAS, what's coming for humanity in the next four years, and how anyone can make contact starting today.⠀She's coming to Sedona in November.⠀

"We do not know when it will be safe to go outside. We only know that day is not this day." That's what Ben Lindbergh says to himself when he's working from home, but not when he's in studio to discuss 'Silo' and other recent nerd-culture releases! On this month's Recommends, Ben brings on Alex Kirshner to make the case for 'Silo' as a series worth sticking with, discuss the explosive end of Season 3, and look ahead to the final season. Then Scott Tobias and Keith Phipps join to talk 'Dark Matter' Season 2, share their all-time tier lists of Apple TV sci-fi series, break down 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 4, assess the state of 'Star Trek' as the franchise turns 60, and cover Korean sci-fi epic 'Hope' and, briefly, 'Practical Magic 2.' Finally, Ben recommends 'Lego Star Wars: The Mandalorian' and other Disney+ kids' content and muses about the rapid rise and fall of 'The Mandalorian' and live-action 'Star Wars' and MCU streaming series.(00:00) Intro(03:09) Alex joins the show(16:27) 'Silo' spoilers(39:20) Scott and Keith join the show(40:08) Talking 'Dark Matter'(53:00) The Apple TV tier list(72:03) ‘Strange New Worlds'(81:52) The state of ‘Star Trek'(89:02) 'Hope'Host: Ben LindberghGuests: Alex Kirshner, Scott Tobias, and Keith PhippsSenior Producer: Steve AhlmanAdditional Production Support: Arjuna Ramgopowell Learn more about your ad choices.

Moose and Gamegod kick off with Star Trek Day and use the milestone to talk about why Star Trek still matters after 60 years. From there, the conversation widens into collectibles, Apple's upcoming event, Dragon Con, Lanterns, and the latest Street Fighter trailer. It's a fan-heavy episode packed with sci-fi, pop culture, and a few strong predictions. Key topics In this episode, Moose and Gamegod celebrate 60 years of Star Trek, noting the franchise's size with 11 television series, 14 movies, and more than 900 episodes. They compare Star Trek's staying power to Star Wars and argue that Star Trek still works because it helped define the genre. Moose shows off his 3D-printed Star Trek hand salute accessory and tricorder, turning the opening into a full-on show and tell moment. Gamegod shares recent Lego pickups, including Arcanine and C-3PO, which leads into a broader conversation about collecting and running out of display space. We discuss Apple's upcoming event and the rumored foldable iPhone, along with expected updates to the iPhone line, Apple Watch, and AirPods. Moose and Gamegod debate whether a foldable phone is actually useful, or just a very expensive novelty. The conversation shifts to GoPro's newest gear, including high-end video features like 8K capture, 50 megapixel photos, and extremely high slow-motion frame rates. They talk about Halloween decorations, including animated displays and Star Wars-themed transformations like a Jawa-style setup. Dragon Con comes up as the ultimate fan convention, with both hosts agreeing it beats San Diego for pure fandom energy and cosplay culture. The episode also covers Spider-Man Noir getting canceled despite strong Emmy recognition and audience reception. Moose and Gamegod break down Lanterns, praising DC's TV formula and comparing its weekly momentum to peak Walking Dead and early Game of Thrones. They discuss Marvel's attempts to borrow that formula, including Strange Academy, Werewolf by Night, and Heroes for Hire. The episode closes with a detailed reaction to the Street Fighter trailer, including a debate over whether it feels faithful to the game and how it compares to Mortal Kombat.

You've got decades of experience, a coaching offer you believe in, and a real desire to help. So you hand people everything at once: the full program, the 50-page workbook, the whole planet. And they don't come closer. They back away.This is Part 3 of the "I Know a Guy" series. Adam and Jess already built the Sun, which is the tension you solve over and over, and the Planet, which is the one offer built around it. Now they're adding the Moons: the small, attractive pieces that orbit your offer and pull the right people toward it. In plain terms, lead magnets.Adam brings the food court. Anyone who walked through a mall in the 80s remembers the person holding out one piece of orange chicken on a toothpick. You didn't get the whole plate. You got one bite, it was good, and you went and bought lunch. He also points to Sam Gaudet on Instagram as an example of giving simple, specific value with no strings attached. Jess brings the build: what a lead magnet actually is, why it should deliver a win in under 30 minutes, and why half of what she gives away is a Google Doc. She's grown her own email list almost to the size of ILC's in six months, mostly through lead magnets. She's not bragging; it's what happened, and it shows how easy the trade is when the value is obvious.What you'll learn:What a lead magnet actually is: a small solution to a micro problem, exchanged for an email addressWhy a quick win in under 30 minutes builds more trust than a 56-page workbookHow to lower the friction (and why "book a call" or a ten-field form kills the trade)Why the gift is a microtransaction, not a sales pitch, and why that still builds a relationshipThe long play Sam Gaudet and Caleb Ralston run, and why most coaches need a shorter oneHow to build lead magnets from content you already have, like ILC's Maslow's Mountain seriesWhy you can have several moons for different rooms, all pointing back to one offerThe Big Idea: Experienced coaches struggle with this more than anyone. They either want to give it all away or keep it all locked up until someone pays. Neither works. People don't want proof of how valuable you are. They want a payoff on a problem they already know they have. Give away one piece of your best stuff, small enough to finish and good enough to trust, and the bigger conversation gets much easier.Notable Quote: "You have to let go of some of your highest and best things, and those become the attractors, the moons that orbit the planet." — Jess WebberResources Mentioned:Lead Magnets Made Simple (Jess's class recording, built to help you launch a lead magnet in under an hour): https://jesswebber.com/leadmagnetsBig Ideas Made Simple Ep. 34, "They Don't Need All of It, They Need the Best of It" (Jess's episode from the same week on simplifying what you teach): https://jesswebber.com/bigideasmadesimple/simplify-what-you-teachJess's inbox organization lead magnet, as an example of a low-friction opt-in: inbox.bigideasmadesimple.comMaslow's Mountain series and workbook, as an example of a lead magnet built from existing podcast content: ilovecoachingco.com/maslowILC's "Find Your Path" / "Start Here" lead magnets: ilovecoachingco.comSam Gaudet on Instagram (Adam's example of simple, value-first lead magnets)Caleb Ralston and Ralston Select (Jess's example of the long audience-building play)Ep. 192, "I Know a Guy, Pt. 1: Find Your Coaching Gravity"Ep. 193, "I Know a Guy, Pt. 2: Find Your One Planet"Instagram: @ilovecoachingco / @adamrroach / @thejesswebberYouTube: youtube.com/@ilovecoachingcoTimestamps: [00:00] Intro: Star Wars, Star Trek, and the Moons [00:51] Recap: the Sun, the Planet, and why the whole offer overwhelms [01:44] Gravity, tractor beams, and pulling people into your world [03:45] What a lead magnet actually is [05:20] Adam's mall food court: orange chicken on a toothpick [07:13] Sam Gaudet and value with no strings attached [08:25] The long play: Sam Gaudet and Caleb Ralston [09:43] It's a microtransaction, not a sales pitch [10:30] The under-30-minute win (and why 56 pages misses it) [11:00] Jess's inbox lead magnet and the easy-to-remember URL [12:33] Lower the friction: the form fields nobody needs [14:19] Build from what you already have: Maslow's Mountain [15:10] Google Docs count, and how Jess grew her list in six months [16:20] Big thinkers give away too much, or nothing at all [17:11] People want a payoff, not proof of your value [18:20] The toothpick vs. the whole plate [20:18] Multiple moons for different rooms, one offer [21:50] Where to go nextJoin the Community: If you've been giving away the whole planet and wondering why nobody's orbiting, start with the simple stuff.

The child-like, mischievous entity known as Q is one of the more popular characters to appear in the modern era of Star Trek. Actor John de Lancie injects so much energy into this "trickster god" that he is hard to resist. But what if he were to come up against an intellectual giant like Mr. Spock? That's exactly what they did at a convention several years ago. Join us as we take a look at this memorable moment.

This week on Science Faction, we tackle the important questions: Is bread actually good? Can a Disney Channel movie sneak science fiction past Steven? Can Star Trek: Strange New Worlds finally make Ben stop complaining? And, most importantly, how did a movie about sheep detectives turn out to be legitimately great? Then, in Future or Now, things get a little more serious as Devon brings us a massive Kelvin wave moving toward California, while Ben explores a fake version of Windows 11 that leads us into a much bigger question: why are we still using computers basically the same way we have for decades? Real Life We begin, naturally, with bread. Ben is against it. Devon, who apparently becomes increasingly French whenever bread is involved, is very much in favor of it. Steven loves sourdough and becomes increasingly concerned about what exactly Ben considers the staple crops of his diet. Devon settles the matter with perhaps the strongest argument anyone can make: fresh French bread is amazing, and he will eat all of it. From there, Steven has two movies to discuss, neither of which would normally be considered science fiction. Or would they? First up is Big City Greens: Spacecation, which gets a thumbs-up from Steven. It's a Big City Greens adventure that sends the family into space, which certainly sounds suspiciously like science fiction. There's also a familiar name in the writing credits: Mike Trapp. Then there's The Love Hypothesis. If you've listened to Steven talk about romantic comedies before, you probably already know where this conversation is headed. If you don't, well…he's going to tell you. Meanwhile, Ben has reached the end of another season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which raises an important question: is there a limit to how long Ben can complain about Star Trek? Season four is over, and somehow the show may have accidentally made a good Star Trek episode. That sends us into a bigger discussion about what some fans want from the franchise: an aspirational future where science, discovery, truth, and people working together matter more than enormous space armadas and the latest galaxy-ending artificial intelligence. Could this finally make Ben stop complaining about Star Trek? Maybe for five minutes. But the biggest surprise of Ben's week was The Sheep Detectives. And apparently it was EPIC. Ben calls it a genuinely smart movie and, perhaps most impressively, says it succeeds where Cars 2 failed. Beneath the absurd premise of sheep solving a mystery, there's a story dealing with grief and trauma that worked far better than Ben expected. Ben recommends it. Strongly. Future or Now Devon brings us something considerably larger than sheep detectives: a slow-moving, planetary-scale Kelvin wave heading toward California. The Guardian: Concern mounts over planetary-scale Kelvin wave heading for California The enormous mass of warm water is moving across the Pacific and could affect sea levels along the California coast, with changes potentially approaching a foot in some areas. That leads us into a conversation about what these enormous ocean systems actually mean when they finally reach land—and, for Devon, a much more personal connection involving his son and the devastating flooding in Texas. Then Ben takes us somewhere considerably sillier. Definitely Not Windows is exactly what it sounds like: a parody of Windows 11 that gives us an excuse to complain about modern operating systems. But the joke leads into a much more interesting question. Why do computers still work like this? Windows, icons, folders, desktops, applications—we've been iterating on essentially the same basic ideas for decades. Ben brings in Scott Jenson's exploration of what could come next and asks whether we're really going to use the same desktop UX forever. Scott Jenson: Are we really going to use the same Desktop UX forever? If artificial intelligence changes how we interact with computers, maybe the future isn't simply an AI assistant sitting inside the same old operating system. Maybe the entire idea of what an operating system looks like—and how we tell a computer what we want—needs to change. So this week we've got bread, romantic comedies, surprisingly good Star Trek, emotionally complicated sheep, planetary waves, fake Windows, and the possible death of the desktop. You know. Science Faction.

The Machine That Said It Was Alive | Can AI Be Conscious?In 2022, Google engineer Blake Lemoine became convinced that LaMDA, a conversational AI system, was sentient. Google rejected his claim. But the conversation he published left many people asking: If a machine says it is afraid, how do we know what those words mean?In this episode of Echoes Through Eternity, Rev. Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner explores the LaMDA story alongside Star Trek's “The Measure of a Man,” where Data's right to make his own choices is put on trial. What can a conversation tell us about consciousness? Where does evidence end and our imagination begin? And how might the way we speak about machines affect the way we treat our neighbors?This episode approaches those questions through faith, science, and story. It does not claim that LaMDA was conscious or that a fictional hearing proves anything about today's AI. It asks us to think carefully, hold uncertainty honestly, and practice love of neighbor as technology changes.What evidence would persuade you that a machine could have an inner life? I'd welcome your thoughts on this episode.Production note: The LaMDA voice is a dramatized reading, not original audio of Google's system. The published LaMDA conversation was assembled from multiple sessions and edited for readability.Sources and further reading:Blake Lemoine's published LaMDA conversation:https://www.e-flux.com/notes/475146/is-lamda-sentient-an-interviewGoogle's introduction to LaMDA:https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/products/lamda/Alan Turing, “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”:https://academic.oup.com/mind/article/LIX/236/433/986238Butlin and colleagues, “Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence”:https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.08708Star Trek on “The Measure of a Man”:https://www.startrek.com/news/taking-measure-measure-manHosted by Rev.

A desperate war rages between sky-borne colonists and unseen creatures that rule the stone beneath their feet. One accidental visitor from another age may decide whether an alien civilization survives or is erased from history. Against the Stone Beasts by James Blish. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Author James Blish became one of science fiction's most respected writers and critics. He began publishing fiction in the 1940s and went on to write the celebrated Cities in Flight series, along with the Hugo Award-winning novel A Case of Conscience. Blish was also among the earliest writers to adapt Star Trek episodes into books, introducing those stories to countless readers. He died in 1975 at the age of 54, leaving behind a remarkably influential body of science fiction. Our story was published in the Fall 1948 issue of Planet Stories, on page 74, Against the Stone Beasts by James Blish… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Three ancient aliens awaken aboard a human freighter, and neither species can understand what the other intends.

As Star Trek celebrates its 60th anniversary, The Trek Files welcomes a performer who was there before the beginning and then came back for the episode that introduced the series to television audiences. Stunt performer Sandy Gimpel first entered the Star Trek universe as one of the Talosians in "The Cage." When the series went into production, she returned to inhabit one of its most memorable creatures: the shape-shifting M-113 creature, better known to generations of fans as the Salt Vampire, in "The Man Trap." This week's document is an excerpt from George Clayton Johnson's June 16, 1966 final draft of "The Man Trap." Before the story even begins, a note to the director explains the creature's ability to appear differently to different people and suggests giving "Nancy" an identifiable gesture to help the audience follow her transformations. The script's cast list, meanwhile, simply identifies the creature as a silent role ("CREATURE (?)") giving little indication of the character that would become one of the most recognizable images from early Star Trek. Sandy joins Larry to remember what bringing that creature to life actually required in 1966: a plaster cast of her head, a custom-made mask and costume, severely restricted vision, and an ingenious low-tech technique for matching her position to actress Jeanne Bal so the two could transform into one another on camera. When the costume made it nearly impossible for Sandy to hit her mark opposite William Shatner, she asked Gene Roddenberry to let her rehearse without it, counted her steps like the dancer she was, and then repeated the movement once she had been sewn back inside the creature. The conversation also reaches beyond Star Trek, tracing Sandy's remarkable career from dancer and background performer to stuntwoman, stunt coordinator and director.

Pretty Maids All in a Row is a 1971 comedy about a serial killer at a high school and statutory sexual assault, starring Rock Hudson and Angie Dickinson, written and produced by Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek. Yes. This is a real movie. That's whose in it, and that's who made it. Diamond Feit bravely joins me to dive into the minefield of a movie that, while I find immensely entertaining and enthralling, has aged terribly and may have shone just a bit too much light into the somewhat askew mind of one of the most beloved TV producers and writers of all-time. All the content warnings.

Send us Fan MailThis week on the Hey You Guys Podcast, Liam, Rob and special guest Dave revisit JJ Abrams' Star Trek — a film that somehow pulls off the impossible. Part prequel, part reboot, part alternate‑timeline legacy sequel, it's a movie that shouldn't work… yet absolutely does.The guys dig into how Abrams threads the needle between honouring decades of Trek lore and delivering a fast, fun, blockbuster‑style reinvention for newcomers. They debate the film's breakneck pacing, its “too fast, too furious… in space” energy, and whether the emotional beats still land. There's praise for the pitch‑perfect casting, side‑eye for the lens‑flare‑heavy Apple Store aesthetic, and a full breakdown of why Nero might be one of Trek's most underwritten villains despite Eric Bana's great performance.They also get into the big swings: destroying Vulcan, reworking Spock's backstory, giving every legacy character their own moment, and the surprisingly divisive introduction of young James T. Kirk — including whether stealing his stepdad's classic car is the coolest character intro ever.Expect arguments about Chekhov's accent, Scotty's comedy detour, Bones' homage‑heavy performance, and how this film compares to Trek's top five movies. Plus: nostalgia, chaos, and a whole lot of lens flare.

This week we're joined by Anita Nittoly, a stunt performer, fight choreographer, and rigger whose work has helped bring the action of modern Trek!Anita takes us behind the scenes of creating the fights, falls, stunts, and physical performances that make Trek's biggest action moments believable. We talk about what goes into choreographing a fight for the screen, the difference between performing a stunt and making sure another performer can do it safely, and what it takes to build a career in the stunt world.Plus, we get into Anita's journey from dance and stage combat to working on some of the biggest shows in the Star Trek universe. It's a conversation about creativity, collaboration, safety, and the people who literally put their bodies on the line to make Trek exciting!https://anitanittoly.com

STAR WARS: EPISODE X Is Happening?! Jon Watts To Direct NEW Skywalker Trilogy! | Kristian Harloff Show Star Wars: Episode X is reportedly moving forward — and the Skywalker Saga isn't over! Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts is set to direct the first movie in a brand-new Star Wars trilogy, with Rey expected to return as Lucasfilm continues the story beyond The Rise of Skywalker. On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down this potentially massive development for the future of Star Wars. Is continuing the Skywalker Saga the right move? What happened to the previously discussed Rey/New Jedi Order movie? And is Jon Watts the filmmaker who can successfully launch the next era of Star Wars on the big screen? After directing Tom Holland's Spider-Man trilogy for Marvel Studios and Sony, Watts taking on Star Wars: Episode X would be a major move. But after the divisive response to the sequel trilogy, does Lucasfilm need Episode X — or should Star Wars finally leave the Skywalker Saga behind and focus on completely new characters and eras? We're also talking about the absolutely massive performance of Avengers: Endgame Encore. The re-release reportedly earned $86 million worldwide, including $26 million domestically and $60 million internationally. Seven years after Endgame originally hit theaters, audiences are still showing up for the Avengers. Does this prove Avengers: Doomsday could be even bigger than we're expecting? Speaking of Doomsday, the Russo Brothers are teasing a very different Thor. After the increasingly comedic direction of Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder, Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder is reportedly going to have a much more serious presence in Avengers: Doomsday. Is this the Thor MCU fans have been waiting to see again? And finally, John Cho is looking back at the Star Trek movie that almost happened with Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino's proposed R-rated Star Trek remains one of Hollywood's biggest "what if?" projects. Would his gangster-inspired take on Star Trek actually have worked? #StarWars #StarWarsEpisodeX #EpisodeX #Rey #JonWatts #SkywalkerSaga #Lucasfilm #AvengersEndgame #AvengersEndgameEncore #AvengersDoomsday #Thor #ChrisHemsworth #Marvel #MarvelStudios #MCU #StarTrek #QuentinTarantino #MovieNews #KristianHarloffShow Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at square.com/go/kristian! #squarepod Download the Kalshi app and use code KRISTIAN to get $20 when you trade $20.

What did we all do to deserve this? Patrick Horvath and Tyler Crook are collaborating on Archie in Hell, part of the new Oni Press/Archie Comics partnership. They're two of the best cartoonists working in the industry today. We never imagined them together on the same book, especially one that sends America's favorite teenager straight to H-E double hockey sticks. Whatever we did, let's keep doing it. Coming straight out of Baltimore Comic-Con, having just moderated the Archie Comics panel with Oni Press President and Publisher Hunter Gorinson and Archie Comics President and Editor-in-Chief Mike Pellerito, we're buzzing with a new passion for this 85-year-old universe. This week's podcast starts with a Baltimore Comic-Con review (spoilers: another blast was had at one of the country's best and most proper comic book conventions), before diving into everything currently going down at Archie Comics…and, yeah, we do mean DOWN. We spoke with both Patrick Horvath and Tyler Crook about Archie in Hell, and clearly they're having the time of their lives working together, as this conversation is filled with all the giggles. Why does punishing Archie Andrews feel so good? Why is horror such a fun genre to splash atop Riverdale? Those questions are at the heart of today's show. Archie in Hell #1 is written by Patrick Horvath, illustrated by Tyler Crook, and colored by Francesco Segala. It arrives in comic book shops on November 4th, but Final Order Cutoff (FOC) is September 28th. Follow Patrick Horvath on his website, Instagram, and Bluesky.

This Week's Sponsors In the bloodstained tradition of Afterlife With Archie, something wicked this way comes to Riverdale in an infernal new ongoing series from multiple Eisner Award nominee Patrick Horvath and Russ Manning Award winner Tyler Crook. They say that every small town has a secret. Well, in the case of Riverdale, it's one heck of a humdinger… An ancient order of cultists has infiltrated the town, and they need a human sacrifice to bring their century-old plan to fruition. Their target? Hometown football champion and all-around good guy Archie Andrews. Unstuck from time and space. Bound to a terrible curse. Late for school. Face the fire when Archie in Hell #1 arrives in comic shops everywhere on November 4th. Art fans, character-design lovers, and anyone who appreciates anime-influenced illustration, you're going to want to check this out.

Shrinksrap.com  was selected for MillionPodcasts' 2026 Top 100 Psychology Podcasts list.Dr. Jim Bramson interviews Dr. Tracy Baldo-SenstockWhat happens when you spit in a tube—and your origin story changes?In this episode of ShrinksRap, Dr. James Bramson sits down with his former professor and dissertation committee member, Dr. Tracy Baldo-Senstock, to discuss her lived experience of discovering her biological father through genetic testing. Dr. Baldo-Senstock is a former dean in Walden University's School of Counseling, emeritus faculty at the University of Northern Colorado, a Purdue University graduate, and recipient of the Robert O. Stripling Award for Excellence in Standards. Dr. Tracy is not alone. Most of us know someone who has discovered a biological relative through genetic testing. Pew Research found that 27% of Americans who have used mail-in DNA testing discovered close relatives they previously didn't know about. Drs. Jim and Tracy explore her origin story—and what happens when DNA collides with family mythology: identity, family secrets, truth, and transparency. They also discuss the power of emboldened vulnerability and what it means to live more fully in truth. Why do families keep secrets? Sometimes to protect a parent, preserve a reputation, shield a trauma survivor, or hold an established family structure together. That can work…until somebody spits in a tube. For many people, keeping secrets may not be the psychologically healthy choice. And before deciding what a DNA discovery means—or what to do about it—perhaps there's a lesson from Star Trek's Mr. Spock: stay in the fascination. Lead with curiosity, stay heart- centered, gather the data, and then decide whether—and how—to reconnect. Part psychology, part genealogy, and part family detective story, this episode explores the risks and surprising power of telling the truth—and what “family” means when DNA suddenly rewrites the cast of characters.Credits:River is High, Ticketless TravelerCarl Reisman, guitar, singer, and songwriterJenny Goodwine, vocalsJames Singleton, bassJohnny Vidocovich, drumsDave Easley, steel guitarProduced by Morgan Orion Reismanfor more information, carlreisman@gmail.comCopyright 2025WCMI networking group A networking group for mindfulness-focused clinicians dedicated to learning together & collaborating for more information click here
