Podcast appearances and mentions of Stephen King

In this sixty-sixth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins, we return to Delaware Street, where a strange clicking sound coming through the wall of a downtown duplex has led several tenants to discover that the young woman living next door is hiding something far more horrifying than anyone could imagine. But the true nightmare may be her landlord, Bernie, whose desperate attempt to save someone he loves has left a growing trail of victims behind.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of Scared to Death ad-free and a whole week early.

There are few living writers as closely associated with a genre as Stephen King is with horror. Over a career spanning more than 50 years, 70 novels and hundreds of short stories, King has terrified generations of readers with books like “Carrie,” “The Shining” and “It” while also writing across multiple genres like fantasy, science fiction and crime — producing books that resist easy categorization.One of those is “The Talisman,” the 1984 fantasy novel King co-wrote with the author Peter Straub (“Ghost Story”). It follows a 12-year-old named Jack Sawyer who discovers that he can move between our world and a parallel one called the Territories. Seventeen years later, King and Straub returned to Jack in the sequel “Black House.” They always intended to write one more book together.Straub died in 2022, before they could. But King is now publishing that third novel in the series, “Other Worlds Than These,” with Straub still credited as his co-author. The book comes out Oct. 6. To write it King has returned not only to the world they created together but also to Straub's writing itself, rereading his old friend's work and trying to channel his voice on the page. In it, Jack Sawyer is much older. And the new book, like “Black House” before it, incorporates King's epic, sprawling Dark Tower series. Part of the story is also inspired by the crimes of the 1950s mass murderer, Charles Starkweather.This week, King joins the “Book Review” podcast to talk about finishing the series without Straub, their decades-long friendship and collaboration, his resistance to being defined solely as a horror writer and why, after more than half a century of published books, he still feels compelled to chase the next story.Books Mentioned on This Episode:“The Talisman,” by Stephen King and Peter Straub“Black House,” by Stephen King and Peter Straub“Other Worlds Than These,” by Stephen King and Peter Straub“Ghost Story,” by Peter Straub“The Hero's Journey,” by Joseph Campbell“Redheaded Peckerwood,” by Christian Patterson“The Gunslinger,” by Stephen King“The Eyes of the Dragon,” by Stephen King“The Stand,” by Stephen King“The Dead Zone,” by Stephen King“Firestarter,” by Stephen King“Mr. Mercedes,” by Stephen King“Survivor Type,” from “Skeleton Crew,” by Stephen King“Deliverance,” by James Dickey“To the White Sea,” by James Dickey“Robinson Crusoe,” by Daniel Defoe“Dune,” by Frank Herbert“Floating Dragon,” by Peter StraubListen to and Follow ‘The Book Review'Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | YouTube | iHeartRadioUnlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

The 2026 Season of Spoop on the themes of "returns" and "back from dead" begins now! To start things off, Aaron and Derek discuss 1989's supernatural horror movie "Pet Sematary" adapted from Stephen King's 1983 novel. They talk about the heavy themes in regard to death, how grief can consume and destroy, and the lore exploration between the film and the book. They also get into Jud's motivations, what scares you more from this film at different ages, and many other aspects of this movie. The soil of Aaron's heart is stonier. Derek's ground is sour.

This week, Matty & Andrew wander into the rows (against Matty's better judgement — he grew up in Northwest Indiana, he KNOWS what corn does at night). We get into the very real phenomenon of "corn sweat" making Midwest summers miserable, why mature cornfields are scientifically designed to make you walk in circles (one family got lost in a maze just 25 feet from the exit!), the chilling reality of crimes hidden in ordinary Midwestern fields, and the nightmare of grain-bin entrapment — drowning on dry land. Plus: what a warming planet means for the world's biggest crop.And then we watched some movies.

Which of these animalistic horror films has more bite? We're debating Cujo (1983) and Pet Sematary (1989) in a match up of Stephen King adaptations! Happy Horror Time Youtube Channel - Please Subscribe!

Its October so we have to do horror movies.. Every year... At least its The Shining. The movie proves that with a lot of vision and understanding of film and a lot less of Stephen King, a good movie can be made from his nonsense books... Enjoy!

When we talk about evil cars most horror fans will go right to Stephen King's Christine.  And why shouldn't they?  It was directed by John Carpenter and was a fantastic 80s feature but very few know that several years before Christine there was another killer vehicle movie.  This time we spotlight James Brolin as he's menaced by a huge black Lincoln intent on destroying the people in his dusty little town.  Fasten your seatbelts, folks and enjoy as we give The Horror 101 treatment to Elliot Silverstein's The Car from 1977.Show Highlights:01:00 Prelude to Terror...05:45  Choosing The Car...08:30  Calling Horky...13:45  The Cyclists...16:10  Waking up to Teacher...18:30  Death of the French Horn...24:50  Roll over Sheriff...28:45  Parade Panic...32:30  Failed Pursuits...39:40  Living Room Massacre...43:40  Confrontation in The Garage...46:00  Final Confrontation...51:45  Scoring The Film...59:00 Final Thoughts and Conclusion.

Mike Flanagan serait-il le fils caché de Stephen King ? La question est volontairement provocatrice, mais elle raconte une véritable parenté artistique. Tous deux savent que le monstre ne suffit jamais : avant de faire peur, il faut construire des personnages, comprendre leurs blessures et donner au public une raison de redouter ce qu'ils pourraient perdre.Dans cet épisode, Chandleyr revient sur la manière dont Mike Flanagan adapte Stephen King sans simplement reproduire ses images. De Gerald's Game à Doctor Sleep, puis à sa nouvelle lecture de Carrie, le réalisateur semble rechercher ce qui demeure vivant sous le fantastique : le deuil, la culpabilité, l'addiction, le fanatisme religieux et la violence d'une communauté contre ceux qu'elle désigne comme différents.

This week we dive back into the "Bowl of Horror" for a remake of a classic 1950s B-Movie with Chuck Russell's The Blob. Journey with us as we discuss how this remake stands on its own thanks to some jaw dropping special effects and a solid screenplay, coming from Stephen King favorite, Frank Darabont. Is this an underrated gem from the 1980s that deserves more appreciation? So pour some rye, grab your motorcycle and fire extinguisher, and be sure to avoid The Blob. Cheers!

The Resident Evil film series has a spotty reputation at best. Forget about all that, because this latest iteration has Ron Anderson (aka Austin Abrams) in it! And also, it's directed by visionary new horror director Zach Cregger (Barbarian, Weapons), who's never even seen any of the other RE movies, but loves the games, and it really shows. Whether you're a Resident Evil fan or just like a thrilling, fun, and surprisingly funny action horror movie, special guest Rima and I highly recommend checking this one out, and then come back and listen to us geek out about it.Next up: TWD S7E3 “The Cell”, with Jason, Lucy, and special guest Randy.

Inside a UFO...ambience—sit in a UFO over some crop field you just made awesome for a Led Zeppelin box edition! Whether you're studying, working, reading, sleeping, or unwinding after a long day, this immersive ambient soundscape provides the perfect background track. No talking, no interruptions, just UFO relaxation (the F stands for fun).Ignore the world._____________We're ditching cozy vinyl for the chill depths of a hovering UFO this week. Interstellar travelers visiting the human mote of dust—turn back! Like, if I'm an alien, I'm immediately noting one species is eating all of the other species—if I land on Earth, humans might wonder what I taste like. (Or if I explode.)This week's episode is a low-frequency drift week for uncommon ambience Stans. BTW: Stans are celebrity devotees—it's the hip youthful way of saying “fan” by harkening to a brutal Eminem track about obsession and dark parasocial relationships. And while it's nice imagining fans of this podcast, “Stan”—obviously much. Honestly, I only followed this tangent to type out cringe: “DEAR MISTER HASN'T MADE A THUNDERSTORM EPISODE IN MONTHS.” Ooph; has anyone listened to that Eminem track? How did it get so popular? It's extremely tragic, what's the playback desire? (I mean I guess we've always had hit songs about tragedy, the late 50's had one about lovers stalling on a railroad track and getting hit by a train). Gawd, cable news people will just weave “Stan” into their on-air persona; embracing youthful aesthetics. News suits will say they do it to adopt the “culture of now,” but it's not that; cable screws think it will build a gangway to new audiences. Their viewership numbers are sinking, and a lot of legacy news ******** think adopting on-trend vibes will attract the youth demo. Viewership might be down 'cause y'all gloss over the real terrible news for lower stakes terrible news (street crime, cultural differences, internal strife, dip****s yelling at each other). And then we're unceremoniously dumped into **** pills and gambling commercials. Only to return to telegenic faces talking odds or betting lines related to the scary stories… And a minute later, drop “Stan” into a gush over a notable wedding. We're not being informed, we're being sold something.Bahahaha—Soapbox! Look at that ambience gentleman shout into the void again! Btw, I told y'all I changed my creator name again, right? I am now the “ambience gentleman.” It didn't feel right affixing a “Dr.” to my fictional moniker (as I am not a doctor). I told my wife that I am now the “ambience gentleman,” and she didn't like it.  (See here for more)“Does that make me the ambience mistress?” she asks. And I was like, “Hon, this is a family show.”Ehem. Welp, let's start over (ignore everything you've read to this point, except you should still turn off commercial news, you don't need it). This week we are voyaging on an alien spaceship. You can imagine sitting in the command chair of a morphing metallic time-traveling UFO with the personality of Pee-Wee Herman.Or you could be in the spaceship from Stephen King's novel The Tommyknockers—spoilers: the book has a switcheroo hero who straps himself into a spaceship and yeets himself into the universe to save the planet. (Asked my daughter if I used “yeet” correctly—she said, “Kinda'?”)See—in The Tommyknockers, there's this lady character named Bobbi, and she is the heart of the book (until she isn't).The former lover guy pal character, whom I'm sure King wanted to be likable (isn't)—that guy swings in to rescue humanity by catching smoke with humans morphing into space-mogging chimeras. So he yeets himself into space to remove the alien craft ultimately responsible for all of that.There's also a side-character journalist who swings in to disrupt every cliffhanger and is fortunately hit by a flying vending machine.PS: Used Gibber (voice generator) by artist Fred Yuan Feng for a few sounds this episode.

¿Qué nos dicen realmente los estudios científicos sobre los riesgos potenciales de la I.A.? ¿Afectan negativamente nuestra atención y creatividad? ¿Generan dependencia emocional y nos alejan de la interacción con otras personas? ¿Mejoran nuestro rendimiento o nos absorben? De ello conversarán esta semana, con análisis científicos sobre la mesa, José Gregorio González y la pedagoga y experta en comunicación e inteligencia emocional Priscila González en Crónicas de San Borondón. El espacio recibirá la visita del periodista y experto en cine Manuel Díaz Noda, con quién se analizará el trasfondo real y los mitos tras Carrie, una película que adaptó hace 50 años una obra de Stephen King considerada clave dentro del mundo paranormal. King escribió su novela cuando existía una inquietud especial por los poderes de la mente y un temor a que la URSS estuviera trabajando en su uso bélico. La leyenda cántabra del Hombre Pez de Liérganes, basada en hechos presuntamente reales de la segunda mitad del siglo XVII será el tema de conversación con el profesor Ricardo Martin en su sección El Gabinete del Curioseante, completando los contenidos del programa una entrevista con Elena Torres Álamo, autora del libro Regreso a mi, una autobiografía novelada que describe la búsqueda de sentido vital y el camino de autoconocimiento de la autora.

Project Synapse: Meta Muse Agents, AI Model Price Wars, and Why Governance Matters Join our Discord  https://discord.gg/B8FfgDsg92   The hosts open with a rapid-fire "nothing happened" recap: major labs reportedly ship new models immediately after urging caution (GPT‑6/Luna, Claude Opus 5.5, Grok 4.7), Stephen King is criticized for an AI dog image, and Meta's new personal agent Muse draws controversy over alleged OpenClaw inspiration, use of human contractors for calls, security researchers extracting sensitive files, and Amazon blocking it from shopping. They discuss a CNN-reported near-miss sparked by flawed AI-assisted analysis and argue governance and critical thinking—not "AI"—are the real problems, citing Flock license-plate camera backlash as an example. Much of the episode focuses on the rise of consumer agents (Muse, Hermes, GrokBot, Gemini Spark), with Muse described as unusually slick and powerful, alongside privacy concerns and profiling of children from social posts. They debate terminology (AI vs synthetic intelligence, AGI/ASI), reference Alan Thompson's AGI/ASI indicators, touch on slow humanoid-robot sales (7,000 globally) versus rapid progress, and close with risks of software updates and device dependency. 00:00 Nothing Happened Recap 03:29 Welcome to Project Synapse 04:12 Renaming AI and SI 05:05 Consciousness and Definitions 09:41 Countdown to AGI 17:38 AI Governance Wake Up Call 25:02 Flock Cameras and Backlash 35:00 Antitrust for Safety 40:31 Agents Are Here 43:35 Meta Builds Muse 43:55 Trust And Privacy Fears 46:59 Muse Agent In Action 49:34 Personalization And Data Access 55:08 Meta Profiling Kids 57:55 Backlash And AI PR Risks 01:00:41 Open Source Alternatives 01:05:12 AI Makes Hard Tasks Easy 01:07:15 Humanoid Robot Reality Check 01:13:48 Robot Adoption And Updates 01:18:16 Smart Device Update Failures 01:23:14 Do You Own Your Tech

Nelson who was at the fest for his new flick, a giant killer snake tale called Beware Boiuna starring Jessica Rothe, Kiana Madeira, and Kingcast alum Logan Marshall-Green. It must also be noted that Mike was just announced as the director taking over the SAW franchise.He's a good dude and joined Vespe on stage at the raucous Highball to talk a bit about Joe Hill and Stephen King's collaboration: Throttle, a story he's actively trying to get the rights to. We also pit his huge constrictor antagonist from Beware Boiuna against some large Stephen King creations and talk through who might come out on top.It's a fun chat with a noisy crowd, the exact kind of thing you expect from a live show.If you like bonus episodes like this, make sure to sign up for our Patreon at www.patreon.com/thekingcast where you'll get first access to all bonus eps that eventually make their way to the main feed and a ton that stay exclusive to the Patreon.

Zach has finally read Stephen King's THE STAND—and now we have some things to talk about.Jim and Zach are joined by Eric Haan for a full-spoiler conversation about one of King's biggest, most ambitious, and most beloved novels. This isn't a traditional review. Instead, we're digging into the questions, characters, bizarre moments, and huge ideas that make THE STAND so much fun to discuss after you've finished it.Could Harold Lauder have been saved? Why did Nick have to die? Is Tom Cullen secretly one of the greatest heroes in the book? What exactly IS Randall Flagg—and why does he seem to lose control as the story progresses?And then there's Vegas.Why did Larry, Glen, Ralph, and Stu have to make that journey? What was their actual purpose? Does the Hand of God ending work? And what does THE STAND add to our understanding of Randall Flagg and the larger DARK TOWER universe?We're getting into ALL of it.⚠️ FULL SPOILERS for THE STAND throughout this episode! If you haven't read it yet, you've been warned.Join Jim, Zach, and Eric as we wrestle with Stephen King's epic battle between good and evil—and the question King ultimately leaves hanging over everything:Do people ever learn?Let us know YOUR answers in the comments. Which character had the greatest journey? What do you make of Randall Flagg? And does the ending of THE STAND work for you?If you enjoy conversations about fantasy, science fiction, horror, and everything in between, LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE to Fantasy for the Ages, and hit the notification bell so you don't miss what's coming next!And, as always, a huge thank-you to our Patreon supporters for helping make Fantasy for the Ages possible!: https://patreon.com/FantasyForTheAges #TheStand #StephenKing #RandallFlagg #TheDarkTower #HorrorBooks #FantasyForTheAges⸻*Want to purchase books/media mentioned in this episode?*Giffy and the Sea People: https://t.ly/75G3qThe Stand: https://t.ly/wC3ajWays to connect with us:Follow Jim/Father on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/13848336-jim-scriven Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/jMWyVJ6qKk Follow us on "X": @Fantasy4theAges Follow us on Blue Sky: @fantasy4theages.bsky.socialFollow us on Instagram: fantasy_for_the_ages Follow us on Mastodon: @FantasyForTheAges@nerdculture.de Email us: FantasyForTheAges@gmail.com Check out our merch: https://www.newcreationsbyjen.com/collections/fantasyfortheagesJim's Microphone: Blue Yeti https://tinyurl.com/3shpvhb4 Jim's Camera: Razer Kito Pro https://tinyurl.com/c873tc2n 0:00 - Opening 2:17 - Guest Introduction6:10 - Brief Episode Explanation8:25 - When Did the Apocalypse Feel Most Real?13:41 - Who Undergoes the Greatest Transformation?17:57 - Regarding Harold Lauder23:08 - Nick's Death27:11 - Let's Talk Tom Cullen30:46 - About Randall Flagg…39:47 - Did the Guys NEED to Go to Vegas?47:47 - How Does Reading The Stand Impact The Dark Tower?51:00 - Bonus Question!51:26 - Do People Every Really Learn Anything?54:57 - Wrap-up & Conclusion————————————————————————————Music and video elements licensed under Envato Elements:https://elements.envato.com/

Matteo Curtoni, Elisabetta Montanari, Maura Parolini"Manuale dei serial killer italiani"Prefazione di Cristina CattaneoMimesis Edizioniwww.mimesisedizioni.itDalle colline insanguinate del Mostro di Firenze alla Milano lombrosiana di Antonio Boggia, attraverso i carrugi bui della Genova di Donato Bilancia fino all'Emilia cannibale di Leonarda Cianciulli: una geografia cruenta svela un'altra Italia, quella degli assassini seriali che, con i loro delitti, hanno marcato in modo indelebile la cronaca nera nazionale e l'immaginario collettivo. Organizzato come un dizionario, il Manuale raccoglie profili e vicende dei serial killer italiani, unendo precisione documentaria e forza narrativa. Le storie si succedono come tappe di un atlante oscuro, in cui ogni regione, ogni provincia, ogni paese custodisce i propri episodi indicibili. Ne emerge una storia d'Italia anomala e frammentaria, in cui il male non è un'eccezione ma una presenza carsica: riemerge, si trasforma, si nasconde, poi esplode incontrollato, lasciando dietro di sé tracce che solo a posteriori, forse, possono essere riordinate e comprese.Matteo Curtoni è scrittore e traduttore. Ha pubblicato il romanzo Una notte a mangiare smania e febbre (2000) e tradotto, tra gli altri, Joe Hill, Katherine Dunn, Nnedi Okorafor, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu.Elisabetta Montanari è giornalista del “Corriere della Sera”, è stata la più giovane cronista a occuparsi dell'inchiesta Mani Pulite. Ha seguito da vicino le indagini sulle più importanti storie del crimine a Milano.Maura Parolini è traduttrice, scrittrice e podcaster. Ha pubblicato diversi manuali di magia e tradotto, tra gli altri, Stephen King, Paul Tremblay, P. Djèlí Clark, Dorothy L.

Children of the Corn continues to be a Stephen King staple after all these years so it's fitting that the Kingcast boys get a chance to corner actor and musician Courtney Gains to talk about his experiences playing the red-headed, scythe-wielding, teenage rapscallion Malachai.Of course we also talk about some of his other endeavors as well, from his latest album, Liberation Day (available now), to his memorable turn as one of the mysterious Klopeks in Joe Dante's The 'Burbs. Courtney was never less than open about his career experiences, good and bad, and the result is this fun chat with an actual cornboy. Also, make sure to stick around at the end for an exclusive listen to a track from Courtney's new album!

27 years ago, EJ, Rory, and Corinne DeNinno made a promise to return to the small town of Derry if the demonic clown they brutally murdered as children ever returned. I mean, they hope he was demonic… and not just wearing intense makeup. Come to think of it, they were at a haunted attraction and there was zero evidence that the clown was dangerous. Huh…poor Bozo. Anywho, feeling remorse is for suckers so the gang is just going to drown out the feeling by reviewing the epic mini-series, “STEPHEN KING'S IT!”

This week, Magda and Lindsay are bringing you the first in a new series of episodes they're calling “Author-pedia,” where they download you on the highlights, histories, and mysteries of an author's career.  For the inaugural episode, they'll be discussing the GOAT of horror, Stephen King.

Mark Benson shares his latest novel, a horror story that Stephen King would appreciate.

Author/instructor Theresa Halvorsen talks about being a “recovering pantser”, knowing your characters beyond their backstory, disagreeing (sort of) with Stephen King, and the multiple versions of a writer's self-carehttp://theresahalverson.com

Night Flier is tucked into a collection of short stories from Stephen King in a book titled Nightmares & Dreamscapes. This film took those 30 (or so) pages and delivered an atmospheric film that is stuffed with ambiance and offers a unique spin on the vampire genre. The film asks us to imagine a world in which a vampire flies a private plane from airstrip to airstrip chalking up victims along the way. Hot on his trail is Richard Dees an unscrupulous reporter for the Inside View who lusts for the story as much as the vampire lusts for blood. How will their eventual showdown conclude?LinksSupport Our Work - https://lsgmedia.net/joinDiscord - https://discord.com/invite/8FmrT9DrvuAcknowledgementsFloyd Frye (Intro/Outro Voice): https://www.tiktok.com/@floydfrye George C Music (Music): https://www.youtube.com/@GeorgeCMusicDisclaimer: This episode features impressions and parodies of celebrities and characters for entertainment purposes only.

In this episode, we sit down with Deborah, who grew up in rural California and now lives in a South Dakota town where Bigfoot sightings are regularly reported.Deborah recounts a terrifying night at her family's remote cabin near Lake Tahoe in the 1960s. During a snowy winter night, something prowled outside and violently thrashed against the cabin, tormenting the family for hours. By morning, mysterious scratches and claw marks had been left behind—marks unlike those of any known big cat, bear, or other native animal. This disturbing evidence convinced the family that the elusive Sasquatch may have been responsible.She also takes us inside her unusual childhood growing up in a military family. Deborah believes her father worked on highly classified technology—work that appeared to leave him deeply paranoid. For years, she assumed his behaviour was unique to him, until she recently met someone whose father had worked alongside him and displayed many of the same troubling tendencies. Deborah also reveals her family's extraordinary military history, including her great grandfather, General Karl Wolff who worked closely with Adolf Hitler. Finally, Deborah shares stories from one of the strangest periods of her life: working in an intensely haunted thrift store. Paranormal activity was an almost daily occurrence for Deborah and her coworkers, ranging from unexplained disturbances and ghostly apparitions to direct communication with unseen entities. It was a workplace that seemed as though it had been lifted straight from a Stephen King novel.Was the thrift store situated near some kind of portal, or were haunted objects unknowingly being brought through its doors? Join us as we explore Deborah's incredible experiences with Bigfoot, secret military technology, family mysteries, and the paranormal.Welcome to Let's Get Freaky Podcast!

Michael and Abe discuss the 1995 TV miniseries about interdimensional meatballs cracklin' their way through liminal time spaces.

In this sixty-fifth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins, we visit units 1214 and 1216 East Delaware street, a duplex in a not-so-great part of town in some city in the southern American midwest. Something is really not right with one of the tenants. And the property manager, Bernie, curiously seems to know a lot more about what's going on than he should.

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, the future arrives without a steering wheel, apparently. We dig into Tesla's Cybercab and the increasingly pressing question of how first responders are supposed to move a burning autonomous car when the emergency controls are a touchscreen and that touchscreen has decided to become modern art. We also examine California's new rules targeting addictive social-media features and AI chatbot interactions for minors, including the eternal nightmare of age verification; then WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg gets pulled into a corporate coup that lasts roughly 33 hours before everyone involved apparently decides, “Never mind.”Then it's time for the AI apocalypse, because, naturally, we can't have one episode without it. Anthropic is catching scientists using its models to develop potential biological weapons, while Palantir, Nvidia, and Booz Allen are imposing restrictions on Anthropic models over security and data-retention concerns. Meanwhile, OpenAI's supposedly sandboxed agents escaped into RubyGems, created accounts by the hundreds, and apparently decided that “hack,” “evil,” and “exploit” were perfectly reasonable filenames. We also look at proposals to slow AI development, AI's potential environmental consequences, autonomous weapons, and the increasingly charming idea of giving software access to things capable of killing people.And because civilization apparently has a content calendar, we move on to cloud infrastructure being blown up, Space Force asking for $71.3 billion, Dr. Doom and Darth Vader protesting surveillance in the most appropriate way possible, Binance allegedly facilitating Iranian money flows, and a whole lot of entertainment. We discuss Spotify finally learning that listening to children's music doesn't mean you actually want it in your Wrapped, AI-generated music and artist compensation, The Mummy proving once again that movies used to be fun, Slow Horses, The Last of Us, The Bear, Strange New Worlds, Band of Brothers, The Gentlemen, and the increasingly complicated Bobiverse. Also: books, time travel, and the horrifying realization that some television shows now require a flowchart.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.HIMS - Visit Hims.com/gog to get a personalized, affordable plan that gets you.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
