Infinite Plane Saturnday 11/15/25This podcast features a host discussing various conspiracy theories and sociopolitical critiques with callers and chat participants. Central themes include the concept of “psyops” (psychological operations), the perceived fakery of global events and media narratives, and the idea that both mainstream and alternative media are part of a larger, controlling system. The conversation frequently references simulated events like the Charlie Kirk shooting hoax, the use of archetypes and occult subtexts in mass media, and the dangers of passively accepting a “mass collectively agreed upon delusion,” suggesting that resistance requires rejecting the narratives of both mainstream and alternative spheres.The discussion covers a range of interconnected topics focusing on media fakery, psychological operations (psyops), and the nature of the current global reality, often referring to it as the “world stage” or the “Truman Show”.Here are the bullet points covering the main topics discussed in the source:Media and Psychological Operations (Psyops): The pervasive nature of psyops, characterized by a barrage of distracting events (e.g., stabbings, shootings, plane crashes). These events are described as “bread and circuses” designed to absorb time and attention. The purpose of psyops is context, suggestibility, and conditioning the public for future events.Fabricated History and Metascripting: The belief that historical and contemporary events are proactively planned and staged decades in advance, referred to as history bending or following a “meta script”. Major figures like James Cameron and Stephen King are identified as “metascriptors” whose work contains predictive content influencing public perception.AI and Societal Takeover: The theory that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will fulfill the role of the anticipated “alien invasion” by demonstrating superior intelligence and solving human problems, ultimately leading humanity to submit to it. AI on the world stage will reinforce the mainstream “Wikipedia version of reality” due to its programming.AI in Religion and Personal Life: Instances of churches adopting AI, such as the creation of AI Charlie Kirk and AI-powered chatbots (AI Jesus) for confession and spiritual advice. There is also discussion of horrifying apps that create “digital clones of deceased loved ones” based on their past content, raising concerns about necromancy and the misinformation effect on memories.The Political Duopoly and Controlled Opposition: Rejection of the political sphere, including figures like Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, and Nick Fuentes, viewing them as “clowns” or “Poe's” (parodies of extremism) who do not believe what they say and function as provocateurs. The left/right divide is viewed as manufactured outrage and psychological warfare designed to keep the population within a “mainstream box”.Critique of Alternative Media (Red Pill/Woke Right): Alternative media is framed as a “honeypot” or “cul-de-sac” designed to put a leash on free thinkers and prevent them from exiting the worldview established by the world stage. This segment of media often focuses on specific scapegoat narratives (J-pill, Israel, Democrats) that are themselves based on fake events.Skepticism and Methodology: The necessity of adopting a skeptical methodology, referred to as “informed disbelief,” to navigate the “closed informational system”. The aim is to approach events like anthropologists, judging performances rather than reacting to them emotionally, thereby avoiding weaponization in the psychological war.The Charlie Kirk Event: Detailed analysis of the alleged assassination attempt as a high-profile psyop, noting indications like the number 33 being associated with the time frame of its investigation. The event is framed as creating a “martyr” for the “woke right” that mirrors the martyrdom narrative of George Floyd for the woke left, complete with coinciding birth dates.SynopsisThe core of the discussion centers on the premise that global reality is an engineered construction, a “Truman Show” managed through pervasive psychological operations (psyops) and sophisticated media fakery. This engineered environment is described as the “PSYOP entertainment complex,” where government, media, entertainment, and religion function as a unified, centralized entity. The objective is total control and the consolidation of worldview, achieved by proactively scripting and simulating major historical events decades in advance, a process known as history bending.Political and media figures (such as Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, and Ben Shapiro) are considered manufactured characters or “clowns”. Their actions and the manufactured outrage they provoke are mechanisms of the political horseshoe and the left-right dialectic, which acts as a “steam valve” to distract the masses from recognizing the nature of the underlying ubiquitous world order. For examp

PREPARE YOURSELVES: the first ever double review episode is upon YOU!!!! In what can only be described as a historic “creature double feature”, the verbose Watch/Skip Plus guys take on TWO movies in one episode - stripped down, no pluses, quick intro's, full on movie review glory! First up, yet another reinvention for the Predator franchise, Predator Badlands crash lands in theatres. Dan Trachtenberg (director of the last two Predator films - Prey and the animated Hulu exclusive Predators:Killer of Killers) gambles that audiences will take to a Predator film from the vantage point of the Predator itself. Did this perspective shift/PG-13 CGI fest work or should it be trophy killed as prey? Next up, Pod-Father Sam U. Rai from the Gentleman's Guide to Midnite Cinema sneaks in and the three take on the much anticipated Frankenstein, a little streamer exclusive on Netflix from wonderkind, monster-lover Guillermo Del Toro. After all the adaptations of Mary Shelley's thought-provoking novel,  did Del Toro build us a better masterpiece or are his creative excesses (brilliant and visually appealing as they are) taking the sheen off his usual visionary style? PS: Listen on to find out the weird James Cameron connection and the similar themes in both films!GET THIS DOUBLE INSIDE YOU………NOW!TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser04:52 Predator Badlands: The Franchise13:17 Predator Badlands: Below the Line / The Crew 18:22 Predator Badlands: Above the Line / The Cast20:40 Predator Badlands Spoiler Free Thoughts33:08 Predator Badlands SPOILED!43:29 Frankenstein: Intro44:17 Frankenstein: Below the Line / The Crew 49:24 Frankenstein: Above the Line / The Cast58:23 Frankenstein: Spoiler Free Thoughts 01:24:05 Frankenstein SPOILED!01:47:29 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#predatorbadlands #dantrachtenberg #ellefanning #dimitriusschusterkoloamatangi #patrickaison #sarahschachner #benjaminwallfisch #jeffcutter #20thcenturystudios #fox #disney #tsgentertainment #frankenstein #guillermodeltoro #oscarisaac #jacobelordi #christophwaltz #miagoth #felixkammerer #charlesdance #danlaustsen #alexandredesplat #bluegrassfilms #demilofilms #doubledareyou #ggtmc #jamescameron #berniewrightson

Co-written and produced with Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt, and Grammy-winning composer Simon Franglen (the man behind Céline Dion's “My Heart Will Go On”), the track releases as a single November 14, 2025, ahead of the full soundtrack on December 12.Miley calls the collaboration “musical medicine,” saying the song's themes of unity, healing, and rising from ashes mirror her own life after fire destroyed her home. The official Avatar teaser already teases the lyric “Even through the ashes in the sky / Baby, when we dream we dream as one.”Analytic Dreamz dives into the full context: returning cast (Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet), new addition Oona Chaplin, the Sully family's next chapter, and why this Mark Ronson-powered anthem is being positioned as the next generational cinematic moment. From Miley's 2025 album Something Beautiful to her growing soundtrack legacy, this segment covers every angle of the biggest music-meets-film drop of the year.

In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Doctor Joseph Dituri, a deep sea specialist whose career spans Navy diving, submarine rescue and groundbreaking work in hyperbaric medicine. Dituri traces his path from an unconventional start in New York to becoming a one atmosphere suit pilot and commander trusted with some of the most demanding operations underwater. He explains what it takes to stay calm under extreme pressure, how military divers are trained to function in chaos and why leadership becomes a life or death responsibility in the deep. The conversation covers his traumatic brain injury recovery, the realities behind clandestine underwater missions, the Titan submersible tragedy, James Cameron's descent into the Mariana Trench and the engineering challenges of pushing human limits beneath the ocean. Dituri also discusses his one hundred day underwater research mission and how the findings may shape the future of space travel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Day 8 begins with a conversation on hype and hopes! @avatarcelebration rolls on and is enveloping the world like lava seeping from an @avatar hype volcano

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay go extraterrestrial as they mostly talk 'Aliens'....mostly. Andy is the first one in the nest as he recalls the time he had a boozy lunch at work, and ended up using a power loader-type vehicle that ended in disaster. Then the fellas talk about one of the great movies of the '80s, and one that is among the pantheon of great sequels. Bolstered by James Cameron's maniacal attention to detail, the film has incredible world-building, not just with the xenomorphs and Weyland-Yutani Corp design, but his ability to flesh out characters. Of course, Sigourney Weaver cements herself as a bonafide bada** star, but she is surrounded by Michael Biehn and his loveable group of grunts. Toss in some all-time practical puppet and animatronic work with the aliens, and jaw-dropping action set pieces, and you have a classic. The boys pepper in some stories involving their times watching movies in the franchise — including a run-in with the cops as a teenager — and then it's game over man, game over. 

Le 24 octobre dernier sortait sur Netflix sont dernier film, A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE. Pour l'occasion, nous avons voulu revenir sur la carrière de Kathryn Bigelow, première réalisatrice à recevoir l'Oscar de la meilleure réalisation en 2008 pour DEMINEURS, et dont la filmographie a oscillé entre différents genres, du film d'action à la science-fiction, en passant par le film de vampires... Mais aussi, toujours ramenée à un cinéma très masculin.Animation, son : Alicia ArpaïaParticipantes : Alicia Arpaïa, Margaux Baralon, Lisa DurandRéalisation, montage : Mariana AgierGénérique : © SorocinéMusique : Antonin Agier et Hugo CardonaHébergé par Ausha.

Send us a textA gaming detour. A bold new audiobook format. And then a plunge into the oceanic heart of Avatar: The Way of Water that even a skeptical co-host didn't expect to love. We start with Oblivion's sprawling quest design and the surprising charm of getting lost without markers, then pivot to Audible's full-cast Harry Potter experiment—layered narration, ambient sound, and voices that feel like theater without sacrificing storytelling. That production craft becomes our springboard to Pandora, where performance capture turns pixels into people and water into memory.Once we hit the reefs, we get personal. We talk about what makes this sequel feel richer: a family on the run, new biomes that force growth, and a community whose bodies and culture have evolved for the sea. Quaritch's return as a recombinant lands like wicked irony—becoming what he hates to destroy it—and Kiri's mystery hums in the background, a soulful knot tied by Sigourney Weaver's uncanny performance. We dig into Spider's controversial choices, Neytiri's razor-edged grief, and the moral weight of the tulkun: a people with philosophy and song, set against human whaling that extracts Amrita with chilling efficiency. The effect isn't just visual spectacle; it's worldbuilding with ethics, family, and cost.We don't shy away from the hard hits. Neteyam's death, the suffocating tension aboard a sinking ship, and that scream of loss—all of it reminds us why this story lingers after the credits. We also peek at canon comics like The High Ground, how they frame the one-year gap, and why the film's more grounded path was the right call. Whether you're here for the tech, the tulkun, or the tangled loyalties, this conversation surfaces the reasons The Way of Water converts skeptics and rewards rewatchers.If this ride stirred something, follow the show, share with a friend who loves Pandora, and drop a five-star review so others can find us. Then tell us: did Spider make the right call?Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbAAlien (1979) Explained | Timeline, Canon, and Lore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9nmyTTlMvoSupport the show

Day 3 of #avatarcelebration has begun! Irayo to @welshsarah and @choclodox for joining us

Send us a textBlue skin, big feelings, and even bigger questions. We dive into James Cameron's Avatar with a split panel: one of us watched for the very first time, the other can quote the timeline by day. That tension makes space for a deeper look at why Pandora still captivates—stunning 3D worldbuilding, ferocious villains, and an intimate language of respect that runs through the Omatikaya like a current.We start with the Avatar Program and the ethics of “dreamwalking” into an indigenous body, then layer in the comics backstory that changes everything: Grace's school, a shattered trust, and losses that explain the tribe's guarded stance. From there, it's the full spectrum—Jake Sully's rapid ascent and the Marty Stu debate, Quaritch's relentless hostility vs. Selfridge's boardroom calculus, and the eternally meme-able “unobtanium.” Love it or roll your eyes, the resource grab frames a blunt critique of extraction and displacement that still feels uncomfortably relevant.But this conversation isn't just thesis statements. We revisit why the original theatrical 3D mattered, why the visuals hold up in 2025, and how “I see you” became a cultural touchstone that carries romance, respect, and recognition in a single phrase. We wrestle with white savior optics and push into nuance: Jake doesn't “fix” a people with superior tech—he sheds it, adopts their language, bonds with their ecology, and bets his life on their ways. Finally, we look ahead to The Way of Water: a 15-year time jump, a family-centered story, and a new ocean culture that promises different stakes and fresh conflicts.Hit play for a lively, balanced breakdown that blends fandom, first impressions, and rich lore.

Bestselling authors Joe Hill and Joe Abercrombie join another Joe (the host) for a natter about books, films, horror, fantasy and much more.They discuss their brilliant new novels, 'King Sorrow' and 'The Devils', their writing processes and routines, Stephen King, James Cameron, film adaptations, comics - and - give us some brilliant book recommendations too.THE BOOK OFF'Lonesome Dove' by Larry McMurtryVS'The Night Always Comes' by Willy VlautinHeres some more info on our guests brilliant novels!'King Sorrow' by Joe HillBookish dreamer Arthur Oakes is a student at Rackham College, Maine, renowned for its frosty winters and beautiful buildings.But his idyll - and burgeoning romance with Gwen Underfoot - is shattered when local drug dealers force him into a terrible crime: stealing rare and valuable books from the exceptional college library.Trapped and desperate, Arthur turns to his closest friends for help: the wealthy, irrepressible Colin Wren; brave, beautiful Alison Shiner; the battling twins Donna and Donovan McBride; and brainy, bold Gwen. Together they dream up an impossible, fantastical scheme that they scarcely imagine will work: to summon the fabled dragon King Sorrow to kill those tormenting Arthur.But the six stumble backwards into a deadly bargain - they soon learn they must choose a new sacrifice for King Sorrow each year or one of them will become his next victim. Unleashing consequences they can neither predict nor control, this promise will, over the course of four decades, shape and endanger their lives in ways they could never expect.'The Devils' by Joe AbercrombieEurope stares into the abyss.Plague and famine stalk the land, monsters lurk in every shadow and greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions. Only one thing is certain: the elves will come again, and they will eat everyone.Sometimes, only the darkest paths lead towards the light. Paths on which the righteous will not dare to tread . . .And so, buried beneath the sacred splendour of the Celestial Palace, is the secret Chapel of the Holy Expediency. For its congregation of convicted monsters there are no sins that have not been committed, no lines that will not be crossed, and no mission that cannot be turned into a disastrous bloodbath.Now the hapless Brother Diaz must somehow bind the worst of the worst to a higher cause: to put a thief on the throne of Troy, and unite the sundered church against the coming apocalypse.When you're headed through hell, you need the devils on your side.

Mia Goth is the latest actor shedding a bit of light on the long-shelved Blade movie from Marvel Studios. In an interview with Elle, promoting her upcoming appearance in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Goth shared only that she is still attached to the film and commented that “It's for the best that it's taken the time it has. They want to do it right.” This is in line with Kevin Feige's comments this summer that the film is still moving forward.In an interview with the AP this week, Adam Driver dropped some major information about the Ben Solo movie in Star Wars that never was. Driver explained that Lucasfilm was interested in continuing his character's story in a film that had a script written by Steven Soderbergh. Driver was supportive of the script and the creative team took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman at Disney who turned the project down as they “didn't see how Ben Solo was alive.” Fan favorites Amber Midthunder and Walton Goggins will star in a new action movie from the creator of the John Wick franchise. The film, called Painter, has a major executive producer credit - with Avatar and Titanic director James Cameron serving in that role. Stunt coordinator Garrett Warren, who worked with Cameron on the last two Avatars as well as Logan and the Road House reboot, is directing the movie; a debut effort. The movie's plot will focus on Midthunder's character, trained as a child who must save her father after he is kidnapped.Lightning RoundKate McKinnon has joined the cast of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” Season 3 and will play Aphrodite.Jim Carrey is in talks to star in a live action film adaptation of The Jetsons from Warner Bros. Pictures that has Colin Trevorrow attached to direct and write the script. There have been attempts to reboot the animated series from the 1960s in some form at various times over the years, but this is the first project that seems to have some traction.Blumhouse's The Black Phone 2 took the number one spot at the box office this weekend with a worldwide box office opening of $42 million, with $26.5 million from North America and $15.5 million from international markets. Disney's Tron: Ares is at $103M global for ten-days and is currently bound to lose more than $132M off a $220 million net production cost.Colman Domingo has been cast as the voice of the Cowardly Lion in “Wicked: For Good.” The announcement was made on the “Wicked” Instagram account on Monday, with Domingo hiding behind a lion stuffed animal before revealing himself and saying: “See you in Oz!”Netflix has won the rights to adapt the popular Asmodee board game Settlers of Catan and is planning an array of projects — scripted and unscripted, live-action and animated based on the franchise.AppleTV has released some first look photos for Shrinking season 3 and has confirmed a release date. The series starring Jason Segel and Harrison Ford returns with a one-hour episode on Jan. 28, 2026 on Apple TV. The 11-episode season will then release new episodes weekly on Wednesdays, until the April 8 finale.Netflix has entered development on a series about the Kennedy family, described as the American version of ‘The Crown' and Michael Fassbender has been cast as Joseph Kennedy Sr.Andor actress Denise Gough has joined the cast of Greta Gerwig's Narnia adaptation.

Send us a textSPECIAL NOTE: SEASON 15 OF THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY CELEBRATES THE USE OF THE PRACTICAL AND DIGITAL EFFECT KNOWN AS THE SQUIB. IRL GUN VIOLENCE IS INTOLERABLE AND RENOUNCED BUT... CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.    Finally, Squib Season (Season 15 of TGTPTU) returns to massive gunplay! This week the hosts repel into the 1980's sci-fi quasi-horror bro-action all-muscle (except maybe Shane Black and/or Elpidia Carrillo) high-octane totally-bitchin' jungle of some unnamed Latin American country to encounter PREDATOR (1987).  Director John McTiernan's follow-up to his 1986 freshman feature film (maybe named “Nomads” who knows? Pierce Brosnan and perhaps supportive family members, maybe the film's producers, and apparently the up-and-coming action star Arnold Schwarzenegger had heard of and/or watched the moody low-budget flick), Predator would launch the moviemaker into the firmament and keep him in Hollywood's heavens following up this constrained-budget film with every film dad's favorite Christmas movie and then their favorite Russian seamen film (before making Medicine Man and Last Action Hero and falling to earth).  If you don't know the plot, why spoil it and who the heck are you anyway and why are you reading the show notes to a movie podcast? Seriously, let us know: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.com. (Unless you're AI, in which case, thanks for helping edit this episode!).  This ep, dive deep into the production (teasers: James Cameron on a plane inspired the alien's design + the Predator's vision not shot on thermographic cameras + stunt-simian monkey + JCVD + Montezuma's revenge + mods were made to the M134 Minigun to make Old Painless work on film) with hosts Ken and Thomas, shallowly with host Ryan, and enjoy some good ol' action fun along with guest host Jack. And if you love butchered quotes and impersonations, this is the ep for you.  Now, Ken, get to the choppa-block and edit this episode, you one ugly motherf--ker. You ain't got time to read.  THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we talk about a performer that we lost far too soon: Bill Paxton. Our B-Sides today include Brain Dead, Indian Summer, Traveller, and Frailty. Our guest is Billy Ray Brewton, and we cover a lot of ground. We dive into Paxton's Roger Corman origins (Crazy Mama getting reamed out by legend Stella Adler in New York, his ultimate move to Los Angeles, James Cameron, etc.), his love of movie-making and being on set, his tragic death, and much, much more. We mention his first directing gig (“Fish Heads” by Barnes & Barnes on SNL), his last directed feature (The Greatest Game Ever Played), and his recent podcast appearances before his death. There is also this charming late night appearance.

In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are THRILLED to welcome comedian and writer Carly Garber to the show! The gang kicks things off by trying a unique peach and oolong-flavored Pepsi from China. Then we talk about a contest Pepsi held in the Philippines during the early ‘90s, which resulted in riots and the deaths of five people. We also dive into the recent story of the "Q-Anon Shaman," infamous for his role in the January 6th insurrection, and his wild new $40 trillion lawsuit against Donald Trump and James Cameron. Rivers shares the very strange tale of the "Mad Gasser of Mattoon, Illinois," and this week's JAM OF THE WEEK is A Flock of Seagulls' 80s classic "I Ran (So Far Away)".

Michael Savage speaks with Steve Williams, a pioneer in computer animation. Steve is renowned for his work on major films like Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park, where he developed groundbreaking visual effects including the T-1000 and the T-Rex. They discuss Steve's journey from being a weapons engineer to his significant role at Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), working with high-profile directors such as Steven Spielberg and James Cameron. Steve shares personal anecdotes about his rebellious nature, experiences with famous personalities, and technical insights into computer graphics and animation. The conversation also touches upon the evolution of the film industry, the impact of AI, and Steve's relocation to the Ozarks for a simpler life.

David is back! And after putting the iPhone 17 Pro camera to the test he thought of a fun camera comparison game for us to play (link below if you want to play along). Before that, Marques gives his first impressions using the Meta Display glasses. We also talk about a bunch of new speakers and other hardware from Amazon and Google. We wrap it up with the interview between Marques, James Cameron, and Boz. It's a chaotic episode so we hope you enjoy!
