CONTENT WARNING: occupation, assassination, Israel & Palestine. We try not to be too political on this show, but sometimes a movie forces our hand. Still, Spielberg's third labor of love isn't a mess because of its subject matter. Instead, it's a messy rush job that has little to no historical value and also fails at being an entertaining movie. Nothing about this story passes the smell test, down to the fact that it looks like a crappy action movie from 2005. We know you can do better, Steven. We're rounding up a group of assassins and wondering if we're the baddies as we watch 2005's Munich on Have a Good Movie! You can email us with feedback at macintoshandmaud@gmail.com, or you can connect with us on BlueSky!

Our bonus episode this time is on “I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter” by Isabel Fall. Deep in the Year in the Shell, it seemed like a good time to revisit this incredible short story that looks at the intersection between state-sanctioned violence, bodies, specialized machines, and gender. You can find Isabel Fall's story archived on this NeoCities site, and the episode of the Clarkesworld podcast where it was read aloud thanks to the Internet Archive here. The article about the aftermath of the Twitter meltdown from Emily St. James of VOX is here. Content warnings for this episode: frank discussions of bodies, military reconditioning, gender and gender dysphoria, war, sex and sexuality, allusions to gendered and sexually violence, social media brigading/dogpiling, and mental health issues. On the Shoulders of Giants is hosted by Alice (she/her), Brian (he/they), and Niko (she/her). Join OSG's Discord here. You can find us on Bluesky @osgpod, TikTok @osg_pod, YouTube @osg_pod, and Tumblr @osg-pod. Visit our website at osgpod.com and send questions/feedback to questions@osgpod.com.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of homophobia, sexual assault, spousal abuse. This week's movie may not be the gayest movie ever but it's certainly one of the most famous. The star power here is off the charts, with two absolute bona fide movie stars and a perfect up and comer as our three gorgeous, fabulous, out of this world drag queens. Unfortunately the movie seems to think that ultimately we need less time with the queens and more time with a small town looking for help. It's a mistake, and one that keeps the movie from being in the ultimate pantheon. But my, what a magic fairy-dust ride it is. We're headed to Hollywood as we watch 1995's To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar on Have a Good Movie!

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation. While presented in a lighthearted manner, listener discretion is advised. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or experiencing suicidal thoughts, please call or text 988 for help. Savage Steve Holland probably never contemplated his cartoons and wacky sense of humor would result in him making a true cult teen classic, but that's exactly what happened. John Cusack is just starting to find his path to the ultra-awkward teen of our dreams, and his supporting cast is pretty fun to boot. But mostly, the bits just keep on coming and just when you think a joke is overdone, a new one pops up in its place. We want our two dollars as we watch 1985's Better Off Dead on Have a Good Movie!

Radio Crystal Blue Top 100 All-Time Artist Countdown This special countdown covers the top 100 artists ranked by annual chart placement, covering the years 2003 to 2024. Artists are ranked by their entire body of work, not 1 song or one album. I actually ranked a total of 211 artists, but I keep it to the top 100 for sake of the countdown. Here's numbers 100 through 91. For each artist I picked one song that seemed to be best representative of their work, or otherwise their most popular. I am counting down these artists, 10 a time until we reach 10-1. Download/stream/share this show, in the same RSS feed as my standard podcast.

Sigillgravören och handelsmannen Aaron Isaac (1730–1816) var den förste jude som beviljades permanent uppehållstillstånd i Sverige utan krav på konvertering. Han anlände till Stockholm 1774, och redan året därpå fick han och två andra judar personligt tillstånd av kung Gustav III att bosätta sig i landet utan att överge sin tro.Isaac åtnjöt kungens förtroende och banade väg för en organiserad judisk närvaro i Sverige. Han grundade den första judiska församlingen i Stockholm och fick stort inflytande över judarnas situation i landet.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikern Carl Henrik Carlsson, författare till boken Aaron Isaac – Sveriges förste jude, om hur en målmedveten invandrare lade grunden för en hel minoritet – och hur synen på judar förändrades genom århundradena.Aaron Isaac föddes den 16 september 1730 i den lilla tyska staden Treuenbrietzen, där judar levde på samhällets rand och endast med särskilda tillstånd. Redan i unga år visade han konstnärlig och hantverksmässig talang, särskilt inom gravyr – ett yrke han lärde sig på egen hand. Men framtidsutsikterna i hemlandet var begränsade.I Mecklenburg byggde han upp en framgångsrik verksamhet och blev nyfiken på Sverige efter affärer med svenska officerare under det pommerska kriget. När han senare fick ekonomiska bekymmer begav han sig motvilligt till Sverige – trots avrådan från sina närmaste. En midsommardag 1774 steg en envis och målmedveten Isaac i land i Ystad, med sig hade han gravyrverktyg, ett rekommendationsbrev – och en vilja att leva som jude i Sverige.Med stöd från svenska ämbetsmän och tack vare sina unika färdigheter – sigillgravyr var högt eftertraktat – lyckades han efter en lång process få ett unikt tillstånd att bosätta sig i Stockholm utan att konvertera. Det var första gången som den svenska staten accepterade en jude som medborgare utan religiös konversion.Gustav III:s beslut speglade upplysningstidens idéer och påverkades av nationalekonomer som såg judisk invandring som ett sätt att stärka ekonomin. Trots kungens stöd mötte Isaac motstånd från präster och köpmän – något han vittnar om i sina memoarer.År 1782 formaliserades statens hållning i Judereglementet, ett toleransedikt som tillät judar att bo i Stockholm, Göteborg och Norrköping utan att konvertera. Men lagtexten begränsade samtidigt deras rättigheter: inga offentliga ämbeten, inga blandäktenskap, ingen mission, och kraftigt reglerad rörelsefrihet.Aaron Isaac grundade Stockholms första judiska församling, tog emot nya invandrare, organiserade gudstjänster och anlade en judisk begravningsplats. Som hovagent och arméleverantör blev han en bro mellan minoriteten och makten.Bild: Aaron Isaac var Sveriges första öppet levande jude, porträtterad av okänd konstnär. En affärsman, sigillgravör och visionär som år 1775 blev den förste att få tillstånd att bosätta sig i Sverige utan att överge sin tro. Hans insatser låg till grund för etableringen av Sveriges första judiska församling. Bild: Judiska museet (CC BY)Musik: Abe Schwartz's Orchestra.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of gaslighting, spousal abuse, spousal murder, murder, misogyny. We're getting a little spooky this week with a slow-burn cult horror classic that dares to make its female characters complex and unique and its male characters thoroughly one-dimensional. Somehow it's the men that are utterly unbelievable for a change. That said, there's a pretty great movie to be found in among the wreckage, a fact that filmmakers 30 years later were utterly and completely unable to reconcile. People in 2004 thought that making a dark, subtle allegory for the horrors of the patriarchy into live-action Looney Tunes was a good idea, and then made it. And since we're completionists, we subjected ourselves to both. Join us as we enjoy 1975's and despair 2004's The Stepford Wives on Have a Good Movie!

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of gambling. One would think that with the steely blue eyes of Steve McQueen and the highest-stakes poker game ever concocted, we'd be cooking with fire with this next film. Instead, we get one of the most boring 100-minute movies committed to celluloid. Nearly an hour of this movie is preamble and exposition and when we finally get to the poker game we might as well have just had the Kid lose in the first few hands. There are many ways to approach a good poker movie, and this movie chooses literally none of them. Join us as we yawn through 1965's The Cincinnati Kid on Have a Good Movie!

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of death, knife fights, gunfire, murder, sexual misconduct, parental trauma, parental negliect, parental abuse. We weren't aware there was such a thing as being a method director, but this legendary film seems to have proven that's a thing. Because it's one thing to make a schlocky B-movie for teenagers about juvenile delinquents. It's another completely to try to reverse engineer that terrible movie into art for a budding movie star and enable his worst tendencies while also having an affair with his 16-year-old co-star, and his other co-star, and possibly him. This movie is a mess, which is actually being kind, because its director might be even more of a disaster. Somehow a bad movie with great acting gives us perhaps some of the greatest trivia of all time. We're deep in our angsty feels as we watch 1955's Rebel Without a Cause on Have a Good Movie!

The year was 1981 and the world of video games was about to get HORNY, but probably not the kind of horny you expect. Through the early '80s and mid '90s, one video game series was injecting both passion and stank into computers everywhere. That series was known as Leisure Suit Larry, and this is his story.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of murder, sex work. We've jumped ahead to 1945 to tackle the question of whether it's possible for a movie to have only one likeable character but still be compelling. The verdict - still unclear. This is a bizarre movie, down to the doctor who tries to save a dying young child trying to gain sympathy for having to drive all the way out to the house in the first place. Only one main character is likeable, and fortunately Joan Crawford is up to the task with the role. In fact, for a melodrama with more of a premise than a well-rounded plot and wildly uneven acting, Joan Crawford is the glue that holds all of this together.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of racism, sexual assault, false imprisonment. We've got a new name, a new season, and a new series! First up, we talk about our name change with a tagline you may be familiar with. Then, we kick off a new series with a trip through ALL the decades - if the year ends in 5, we're watching a movie from it! We kick things off with a frothy, zippy, real humdinger of a musical with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers doing their thing. Remarkably, this movie is incredibly wholesome and unproblematic, its most offensive thing being a wacky Italian accent that angered Mussolini - in short, a net benefit.

This Day in Legal History:  The Killing of Maximum JohnOn May 29, 1979, U.S. District Judge John H. Wood Jr. was assassinated outside his home in San Antonio, Texas. Nicknamed “Maximum John” for his reputation of handing down the harshest possible sentences in drug-related cases, Wood had become a prominent figure in the federal judiciary's war on narcotics. His assassination marked the first killing of a sitting federal judge in the 20th century, a grim milestone that shocked the legal community and raised urgent concerns about judicial security. The investigation into Wood's murder quickly became the most extensive and expensive federal inquiry of its time.Attention soon turned to Jamiel “Jimmy” Chagra, a wealthy drug trafficker facing trial before Judge Wood. Fearing a life sentence, Chagra orchestrated the murder by hiring Charles Harrelson, a known hitman and the father of actor Woody Harrelson. Harrelson was reportedly paid $250,000 for the job. Chagra's wife, Elizabeth, played a key role in facilitating communication between her husband and Harrelson, and was later convicted in connection with the plot. Authorities used wiretaps, surveillance, and confidential informants to build their case.Charles Harrelson was eventually convicted of murder and sentenced to two life terms, though he maintained his innocence for years. Jimmy Chagra was acquitted of the murder charge but later admitted his involvement in exchange for a lighter sentence in other cases. The killing of Judge Wood underscored the dangerous intersection of the judiciary and organized drug crime in the late 1970s. It prompted significant reforms in judicial security, including increased protection for judges handling high-risk cases. The case remains one of the most chilling examples of retaliation against a federal judge in American legal history.The Trump administration announced it is rescinding a 2022 Department of Labor (DOL) directive that had discouraged the inclusion of cryptocurrency options in 401(k) retirement plans. The original Biden-era guidance had urged employers to exercise "extreme care" when considering crypto investments for employee retirement accounts. It signaled a shift away from the legally required neutral stance of the DOL's Employee Benefits Security Administration. The 2022 policy had also threatened an investigative program targeting plan sponsors who offered cryptocurrency, either directly or through self-directed brokerage windows.This earlier approach significantly dampened growing interest in crypto within retirement planning, despite companies like Fidelity exploring such offerings. With the Biden guidance now repealed, the Trump administration hopes to renew momentum in this area. However, broader market enthusiasm for alternative investments in 401(k)s has lessened in recent years, making the potential impact of this policy shift uncertain.Trump Boosts Cryptocurrency in 401(k)s by Axing Biden GuidanceThe Trump administration instructed U.S. embassies and consulates to halt the scheduling of new student and exchange visitor visa appointments. This pause comes as the State Department, under Secretary of State Marco Rubio, prepares to implement expanded social media vetting for foreign applicants. According to an internal cable, appointments already scheduled will still be honored, but unfilled slots should be withdrawn. The administration is conducting a review of the screening processes for F, M, and J visa applicants, which is expected to result in new vetting procedures.This decision aligns with the administration's broader immigration agenda, which includes increased deportations and visa revocations. Critics argue that these actions infringe on free speech, particularly in cases where student visa holders have expressed pro-Palestinian views. A Turkish student from Tufts University, for example, was detained for weeks after co-authoring an article critical of Israel.Meanwhile, protests erupted at Harvard University, where students and faculty opposed both the visa freeze and the administration's recent move to revoke Harvard's ability to host international students—who make up about 27% of the student body. The government has accused Harvard of resisting policy reforms and challenged its global academic role.Trump administration halts scheduling of new student visa appointments | ReutersIn a great piece by Mike Masnick over at Techdirt, the spotlight falls on an unusual and troubling scenario at the U.S. Supreme Court: five Justices recused themselves from a single case, Baker v. Coates, because of overlapping financial ties to the same book publisher, Penguin RandomHouse. Four of the recused Justices—Sotomayor, Gorsuch, Barrett, and Jackson—have publishing deals with Penguin, which is a named plaintiff in the case. Alito also recused, though no reason was provided. While watchdogs like Fix the Court praised this as a rare display of ethical self-restraint, Masnick (to my mind, rightly) questions the broader implications.If recusals due to publishing ties become the norm, the Court may be unable to hear any case involving Penguin RandomHouse—a massive player in media litigation. The publisher is involved in major lawsuits, including ones against the Internet Archive and various state book bans, and could soon be in litigation involving AI training data. If too many Justices are conflicted out of hearing such cases, key legal battles may be effectively resolved by lower courts, potentially leading to inconsistent outcomes across jurisdictions.Masnick argues this is a symptom of deeper flaws in Supreme Court ethics. Justices have long accepted book deals, speaking fees, and gifts, often without disclosing or recusing appropriately. Now that some are finally acknowledging conflicts, the Court risks becoming dysfunctional. His provocative solution? Expand the Court to around 100 Justices who rotate in panels, limiting the influence of any one Justice and allowing recusals without impairing the Court's ability to function. Until systemic reform occurs, we're left with a Supreme Court that either ignores ethics or freezes itself into inaction—neither of which bodes well for public trust.When Half The Supreme Court Has Book Deals With The Same Publisher, Who Decides Its Cases? | Techdirt This is a public episode.

For this episode of In Bed with the Right, Adrian and Moira return to the year 1933. They continue the story of how Hitler seized power, what it did to society, what it felt like to live through it, and -- as always -- what role gender and sexuality played in events. Reminder: We're going month by month for these episodes. This second installment covers May 1 to May 31 -- the fate of trade unions, the nascent LGBT movement and the women's movement.Here are the books/texts we refer to in this episode: Timothy Mason, Nazism, Fascism and the Working Class (1995)Laurie Marhoefer, Sex and the Weimar Republic (2016)Richard J.

Gustav III:s statskupp den 19 augusti 1772 satte stopp för frihetstiden och mer än 50 år av ständervälde. Gustav III (1746-92) var en begåvad maktpolitiker som direkt efter sin faders död började planera för statskuppen med syftet att återinföra enväldet.När den planerade statskuppen höll på ett rinna Gustav III ur händerna tog konungen själv över ledningen av kuppen i Stockholm. Trots att Gustav III motiverade kuppen som en kamp mot adelsvälde var det i allra grad adelns privilegier som kungen försvarade.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Hugo Nordland historiker och författare som arbetar på en bok om Gustav III.Gustav III kallade sin statskupp för revolution. Kuppmännen som leddes av Gustav III personligen arresterade rådet. Sveriges första politiska partier, hattarna och mössorna, upplöstes. Detta satte punkt för de partistrider och den korruption som tidigare hade präglat svensk utrikes- och inrikespolitik. Kuppen stöddes av Frankrike med både pengar och direktiv.Under frihetstiden i mitten av 1700-talet radikaliserades politiken med fokus på ökade sociala rättigheter. När adelns privilegier utökades till rättigheter för hela folket skapades ett stort missnöjde bland adeln. Utan adelns missnöjde skulle inte Gustav III kunnat genomföra sin statskupp.Genom den nya regeringsformen från 1772 delades den politiska makten återigen mellan konungen och riksdagen. Samma år avskaffade Gustav III även tortyr som förhörsmetod, och tortyrkammaren Rosenkammaren stängdes för alltid. Gustav III genomdrev dessutom en inskränkt tryckfrihetsförordning 1774.Lyssna också på Svenska flottans historia: Vad Gustav III inte visste om öl.Musik: Gustavs skål av Carl Michael Bellman framförd av United.

Libraries carry the past forward to the present and into the future. The knowledge and truth stored safely from the Library of Alexandria through to the likes of Wikipedia and The Internet Archive, and all libraries, are the creations of our minds and those looking to control the narratives of history are oft times fearful. It is not that long ago that the burning of books took over from the burning of witches. The concept of an open and acsessable library is an ancient democratic idea, and for the destruction of democracy access to knowledge and art must be curtailed.

He's the nicest bad guy in town. His last name is an adverb. And he's got some pretty wacky bits!

Things we attempt to understand in this episode: the cultural legacy of Joe Piscopo; the actual joke that's being told in the “Your Testicles and You” animated reel / is there one?; Marilu Henner's insane memory thing; if the Danny DeVito bull scene is a parody of anything; why does Richie Rich have cent signs in his name if he's so rich?; and most crucially - why is this movie so damned hard to see in 2025?!?!

EPISODE 84 - “THE MAKING OF MAGIC: BEHIND THE SCENES ON THE WIZARD OF OZ - PART 1” - 4/21/2025 Perhaps one of the most beloved movies of all time, the MGM classic The Wizard of Oz debuted in that magical year of 1939. Based on the popular children's books by Frank L. Baum, it tells the story of a Kansas farm girl, Dorothy Gale, who, along with her devoted dog Toto, is transported to the magical land of Oz. This beloved classic has become such a touchstone in pop culture that phrases like “There's no place like home,” “Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore,” and “I'll get you, my pretty” have entered our collective lexicon. This week, we offer the first of a two part episode that explores the making of this MGM classic film.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Adapting The Wizard of Oz: Musical Versions From Baum to MGM and Beyond (2019), by Danielle Burkett & Dominic McHugh; The Wizard of Oz FAQ: All that's Left to Know About Life According to Oz (2014), by David J.
