MUSICRoger Daltrey of The Who is now SIR Roger Daltrey. He was knighted by Prince William at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. It's in recognition of not only his musical achievements, but also his charity work. Here he is on the award, and what his younger self and band would've thought back in the day. https://consequence.net/2025/12/sir-roger-daltrey-knighted/ Sharon Osbourne has given her first interview since the death of her husband Ozzy this past July.Appearing Wednesday on the British TV show Piers Morgan Uncensored, hosted by her longtime friend, she opened up about his health struggles, doing his final show this past July 5th in Birmingham, England, their last conversations and much more. You can watch the show on YouTube, and here are a few excerpts:Sharon Osbourne on the last two weeks of Ozzy's life. OC:...in seven years. :27 [Courtesy of Piers Morgan Uncensored]"He was so happy Piers afterwards. And he kept looking at the papers and he goes to me, 'I never knew so many people like me.' But that was the way he was. I mean, he knew he was famous, but not to the amount that people loved him. It's a whole different thing. And he was just so happy. Happier than we'd seen him in seven years."Sharon Osbourne on dreams Ozzy was having the last week of his life. OC:...he was ready. :26 [Courtesy of Piers Morgan Uncensored]"He was having dreams the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew. I said, 'Well, what kind of people?' He goes, 'All different people. And I just keep walking and walking and I'm seeing all these different people every night. And I go back there and I'm looking at these people and they're looking at me and nobody's talking.' And he he knew. He was ready." Sharon also talked about the first time she and Ozzy met, when they fell in love, how she will never want to get married again, how if she didn't have kids she would have killed herself when he died, and the thing she misses most is holding his hand.On a lighter note, she also talked about how she wanted to get back at Roger Waters for the negative things he said about Ozzy after he died. And that was by sending him a Tiffany box filled with feces, which she used to do to critics who wrote negative reviews about Ozzy's shows without being there. When she did, it was her infant son Jack's poop that would be used.She ultimately decided against it, saying, “Even that is a waste, to send [crap] to him. It's a waste because he's really insignificant. But I just thought, anybody that passes has a family… you don't do that.” (Sharon's not the first musician's wife to do that. Paul and Linda McCartney sent some of their daughter Stella's poop to a journalist who earned their trust, then betrayed them.)Going forward, Sharon says she's continuing to work on an Ozzy bio-pic and that she knows who she wants to play him. When asked if it was Yunglbud she didn't confirm nor deny.https://youtu.be/aaLMsEJKZEQ Kurt Cobain's MTV Unplugged Martin D-18E has been donated to the Royal College of Music London by Peter Freedman, who paid $6,010,000 for it at an auction in 2020.

But there are plenty of other films that spark the same argument, "Is this actually a Christmas movie?" Here are 13 more:1. Every "Harry Potter" movie (2001 - 2011). All the "Potter" flicks . . . with the possible exception of the last one . . . have some kind of yuletide vibe . . . or at least a wintry one.2. "Batman Returns" (1992). One of the big set pieces is the lighting of the Gotham Christmas tree.3. "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999). Even though it was released in July, it takes place over Christmas.4. "Gremlins" (1984). This one has Christmas written all over it. And also little green, murderous demons.5. "First Blood" (1982). The first of the "Rambo" films has a Christmas tree in the background of one scene. So . . . Christmas movie!!!6. "Trading Places" (1983). There's a Christmas party, and Dan Aykroyd as a drunken Santa waving a handgun. But it doesn't end on December 25th. If it's a Christmas movie, then it also qualifies as a New Year's movie.7. "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" (2005). This one takes place during the Christmas season in L.A. And it was released in November.8. "Edward Scissorhands" (1990). Kind of a no-brainer.9. "Lethal Weapon" (1987). Another one of those action movies that HAPPENS to take place around Christmas.10. "Rocky" (1976). This might be the greatest American holiday film of all time, because it includes Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. And also punching.11. "Hook" (1991). The scenes in the real world, outside Neverland, are set at Christmas. 12. "Iron Man 3" (2013). The whole movie plays out around Christmas.13. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993). Is it a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? Why not both?AND THAT IS YOUR CRAP ON CELEBRITIES!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jamie Lee Curtis, Albert Brooks and Woody Harrelson are among the impressive supporting cast. In theaters. DUST BUNNY: Writer-director Bryan Fuller (TV's "Pushing Daisies," "Hannibal") makes his feature debut with this delightfully dark tale. A precocious girl (Sophie Sloan) hires a hitman (Mads Mikkelsen) to kill the monster beneath her bed. But is the creature real, or just in her imagination? Sigourney Weaver and David Dastmalchian co-star. In theaters. If you're looking for Alonso's Christmas movie livestream, here it is, free to view on our Patreon.

I have checked out the show, and I think it's definitely worth giving a listen. I think you will enjoy it. Bobby graciously lets me play one of the songs by The Checks, and I think you will enjoy that as well. I can't thank Bobby enough for being on the show. Make sure you show him some love!

More dead animals—Tracie's kid's rat died on Halloween. Mariah Carey's ammual "It's Time"—which marks the end of Halloween and the beginning of the Christmas season—was sponsored by Sephora this year. Jamie Lee Curtis posted an alarming amount of photos of Sydney Sweeney in her silver titty dress. We get the giggles talking about Cheesequake, which we previously thought was a town off the Garden State Parkway, but as it turns out, it's a state park. And we finally figure out the birth and death order of the Golden Girls.To access video episodes, bonus episodes and our premium series WAWU check out our Patreon.Pot Psych merch is available at Pipe Dreams, where there is a big sale on smoking accessories.Check out potential drama and our Diamond Girls on our Instagram. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
In this episode, we review Kathryn Bigelow's 1990 thriller, "Blue Steel," where Jamie Lee Curtis shines as a rookie cop entangled in a psychological battle with Ron Silver's unnerving antagonist. We critique the film's narrative structure, character development, and Bigelow's evolving directorial style, offering insights into both its strengths and missed opportunities. Join us for a thoughtful analysis of this intriguing yet imperfect cinematic piece.
Everyone longs for the glory days—that moment in life or career when everything clicked and it felt like you couldn't miss. On this episode, we're talking about actors and filmmakers who decided, decades later, to try and capture that magic again. From Tom Cruise revving back up as Maverick, to Michael Keaton slipping on the wig and makeup for Beetlejuice once more, to icons like Harrison Ford, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Mark Hamill stepping back into their legendary roles—we're digging into what it means when stars revisit past hits. We also look at directors like Tim Burton, Ridley Scott, and Roland Emmerich returning to the worlds that made them famous, and comic book legends Frank Miller, Chris Claremont, and Jim Starlin revisiting their signature creations and stories. Oh, and we've got a confession about this version of Sidebar that fits right in with this theme. Plus, we ask: – What really drives these creative run-backs—fan service, nostalgia, or the quest for relevance? – Do these returns add to a legacy, or water it down? – And is there any "nostalgia porn" we'd actually welcome?
We wrap up our time with Slasher Sevens by welcoming back Jamie Lee Curtis to the Halloween franchise with Halloween H20: 20 Years Later. Journey with us as we discuss this sequel that pits Michael Myers against Laurie Strode and how it reinvents itself with a new timeline and with a post-Scream influence. Is this the sequel to finally get the series going again or is this a poor attempt to bring back legacy characters? So pour some rye, grab you CGI Michael Myers mask, and get ready to face off with the boogeyman. Cheers!
Financial Symmetry: Cluing You In To Financial Opportunities Missed By Most People
When people think of what could haunt their retirement, they often imagine running out of money, facing unexpected expenses, or living too long. But as we discuss in this episode, there's a more insidious villain: sequence of return risk. Sequence of return risk refers to the threat of poor investment returns occurring early in your retirement years, just when you start withdrawing funds. Even if the average returns over your retirement are sufficient, early losses can irreparably damage your nest egg and dramatically increase the odds of running out of money. To bring these concepts to life (with a Halloween twist), we walk through a scenario featuring Jamie Lee Curtis's iconic character, Laurie Strode, imagining her retirement through 25 years of market ups and downs. The outcome all depends on her initial withdrawal strategy and, crucially, how her portfolio is allocated. Outline of This Episode [00:00] A Halloween retirement survival tale, ft. Laurie Strode. [03:16] Retirement withdrawal scenarios analysis. [07:30] Optimizing financial asset allocation. [11:47] Diversification protects retirement portfolios. [15:16] Retirement portfolio stress testing. [16:41] Retirement planning for stability. ***********
