Podcast appearances and mentions of Jeff Bridges

It's that time again. When Disney decides it's time to wring more money out of the Tron franchise with the release of Tron: Ares. So to celebrate (

When TRON: Legacy hit theaters in December 2010, Disney wasn't just reviving an old IP—they were resurrecting one of the strangest, most ambitious sci-fi concepts ever made. The original TRON from 1982 was a groundbreaking attempt to visualize the inside of a computer at a time when most people hadn't even touched one. It imagined programs as people, code as architecture, and morality as circuitry. It was visionary—and it bombed.By the 2000s, though, culture had caught up. The Matrix had turned cyberpunk into mainstream mythology, and the neon-noir look of Blade Runner had become visual shorthand for the future. Enter Joseph Kosinski—a former architect with a designer's precision—who re-engineered TRON not as a hacker fantasy, but as a digital myth about creation, perfection, and control.Garrett Hedlund plays Sam Flynn, son of Kevin Flynn, the hero from the first film, who vanished decades earlier. Sam follows a mysterious signal and is pulled into the Grid—his father's virtual world, now ruled by CLU, a digital clone obsessed with “perfection.” Within minutes, we're deep in a story that mirrors Star Wars: the fallen apprentice turned tyrant, the exiled master, the reluctant heir, and a world that must be remade. Kevin Flynn is both Obi-Wan and Yoda—haunted and withdrawn. CLU is his Darth Vader, a creation corrupted by its maker's arrogance.But the movie also borrows Matrix DNA. The Grid works like a virtual prison where sentient programs fight and dream of freedom. Quorra, played by Olivia Wilde, is the last of the “isomorphic algorithms,” lifeforms that evolved on their own—straight out of Ghost in the Shell's questions about digital souls. The film isn't about coding; it's about consciousness.Kosinski builds this world like a cathedral. Production designer Darren Gilford fills it with clean geometry and luminous voids. The suits by Michael Wilkinson and Christine Bieselin Clark refine Syd Mead's 1982 designs into sculpted futurism. And Daft Punk's score—half orchestra, half circuitry—turns the film into an electronic symphony. Even those who forgot the plot still remember that sound.Critics complained it was cold, that the script sounded like it was written by people who'd never heard of Google. My son Jonas nailed it: “This sounds like nobody who wrote it had heard of the internet.” And he's right. The film imagines computers as isolated kingdoms, not the networked web we actually live in. It's a pre-internet vision dressed in post-Matrix clothing.Yet that's what makes it fascinating. TRON: Legacy isn't really about technology—it's about fathers, sons, and the danger of mistaking perfection for love. Kevin Flynn's failure isn't technical; it's paternal. He built a world in his image and abandoned it. CLU inherited his father's obsession with order, and Sam inherited his resentment. The conflict isn't between man and machine—it's between generations.Kosinski would revisit that theme in Oblivion and Top Gun: Maverick: the architect of the system confronting the cost of control. TRON: Legacy is the prototype—a meditation on beauty, regret, and the limits of design.Fifteen years later, it feels almost prophetic. CLU's dream of a flawless system sounds uncomfortably close to the rhetoric of Silicon Valley. The movie's warning—that perfection becomes tyranny—lands harder in an age of algorithms, A.I., and curated identities. Its message is simple: imperfection is the only thing that makes us human.So tonight, as we gear up for TRON: Ares, we're putting Legacy on trial—not as a sequel that glitched, but as a digital myth that might've been too early for its own time. It's Star Wars rewritten by a coder, The Matrix without the leather, and Ghost in the Shell with a heartbeat.Load the disc. Power up the light cycles. Let's head back to the Grid.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Jeff Bridges returns for a second season of 'The Old Man', historical epic 'King & Conqueror' takes the crown and 'Blue Lights' is back with more high-stakes action. And that's just the beginning. (SBS On Demand) - 世界のTVシリーズや映画を無料で楽しめる SBS On Demand。今月配信作品のハイライトを日本語で紹介します。

Despite all the reasons to hate on the government, they did give us a reason to watch George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, and Jeff Bridges dropping acid in the desert while cosplaying psychic soldiers. This week, we're finding out if truth is actually dumber than fiction with The Men Who Stare at Goats. We stare deep into the third eye of government-funded weirdness, talk mind tricks, and wonder why anyone would second-guess killing goats with brainwaves as a solid use of taxpayer money. Clooney's rocking a mustache, McGregor's trying not to say “Jedi,” and Jeff Bridges is vibing through Vietnam like a barefoot guru with Pentagon backing. It's chaos with a side of hummus. We dig into psychic shenanigans, questionable soundtrack choices, and the real-life lunacy behind it all. And we can't help but hold a a heated debate about the fine art of the fart joke. Crank up the Boston, grab an energy drink, and prepare for invisible soldiers, hamsters in peril, and enough deviled egg talk to make your grandma nervous. This one's weird, loud, and probably more accurate than you'd like to believe.

In anticipation for Tron Ares, we thought it was a good time to go back to the Grid. Scott from the A Film By podcast joins Dayton and Liam as they discuss the classic sci-fi film from 1982 and the much maligned sequel. Likes, dislikes, favorites and facts from each film. Let's meet at Flynn's arcade and go back to the grid. Send us a textTwitter @dockingbay77podFacebook @dockingbay77podcastdockingbay77podcast@gmail.compatreon.com/dockingbay77podcasthttps://discord.gg/T8Nt3YB7 https://www.youtube.com/@DockingBay77podcast

Emmy Winning writer (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver) and very funny standup comedian (People Pleaser) Josh Gondelman returns to The Spiel to talk about a film that most people probably forgot was produced by Steven Spielberg: 2010's True Grit starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and Hailee Steinfeld in her first major role. Based on the Charles Portis novel, previously adapted as a starring vehicle for John Wayne, True Grit is about a young girl who hires a drunk and haggard Marshall to hunt down the man who killed her father. The Coen Bros wrote and directed this incredibly entertaining and highly quotable flick and Vespe and Gondelman delight in going back through the story, finding their favorite moments, and figuring out why the movie is so damn good, even if Spielberg had almost nothing to do with it.

In the 1970s, actress Candy Clark shot relaxed, intimate portraits of her friends and boyfriends, including Jeff Bridges, Nicolas Roeg, and Ed Ruscha. The images are now part of a new book.

My guests today are Charys Schuler and Marwan El Mozayen from Silvergrain Classics. In an age of AI and digital consumption on ever increasing numbers of screens, they are charting a path in the opposite direction. Analogue photography of all kinds is celebrated every quarter in their beautiful magazine which they produce in Germany and send around the world. They are also half of a new company Silver Bridges, helping to bring back the wonderful Widelux camera, a favourite of many photographers and in particular loved by Jeff Bridges, yes, that Jeff Bridges.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

There have been a number of big summer movies like "F1: The Movie," "Superman" and "Jurrassic World: Rebirth." But these popcorn movies are not likely destined for big awards.

"What happens when you're trying to honor a loved one with Frank Sinatra… and a fiber supplement ad crashes the moment?"In this unforgettable and side-splitting episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into one of the most bizarre and hilarious stories you'll hear all week: a solemn ash-spreading ceremony on a lake in Seattle, set to the emotional strains of Sinatra—until a Spotify ad for colon cleansing hijacks the moment.From there, the crew spirals into a laugh-out-loud discussion about the dangers of free Spotify, Uber rides scored by Sinatra, and the timeless genius of Spinal Tap. KT's joke about wanting his ashes thrown into Jeff Bridges' beard might just be the funniest thing you'll hear today.

A newly declassified annex to Special Counsel John Durham's report includes a March 2016 memo showing that Hillary Clinton personally approved a campaign plan to publicly tie Donald Trump to Russian election interference, allegedly to distract from her private email scandal. The intelligence indicates the Clinton campaign enlisted both the DNC and outside groups to shape that narrative, then encouraged the FBI to amplify it.  Despite FBI skepticism and internal disagreement over credibility, the Steele dossier was used to launch the public "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation, further fueling the false Russiagate storyline. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point out how Jimmy got this story right from the beginning, yet was widely smeared even by others on the independent media left. So will apologies and mea culpas be forthcoming? Don't hold your breath. Plus a segment on economist Jeffrey Sachs' scathing indictment of Trump's plan to saddle Russia with additional sanctions unless a ceasefire in Ukraine can be reached in ten days. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Jeff Bridges!

Why would the expensive wireless headphones I bought actually work? I went to the Deftones themed bar event in downtown LA this weekend hoping to meet chicks, and it went about is as well you probably expect it did.

Today on part two of our conversation on the Rarified Heir Podcast, this episode continues our conversation with Peter Rafelson, son of director and producer Bob Rafelson. Recorded the week after part one, this episode delves into some pretty heavy as well as some pretty of the wall stuff. And as you have heard on part one, it seems like that was par for the course in the Rafelson household in the 1960s and 1970s. As one of the leading figures in the American New Wave filmmakers, Bob Rafelson was responsible for producing or directing some classic, seminal films that influenced generations of film makers. It's quite a resume including films like The Postman Always Rings Twice, Head, The Last Picture Show, Easy Rider, The King of Marvin Gardens, Mountains of the Moon, a film we discuss at length, Stay Hungry as well as an unfortunately named anthology, Porn.com. Beginning with Davy Jones, we also discuss what each member of The Monkees was like off camera, how he spent the Summer of 1975 pumping iron with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Alabama, his role in the Alan Parker movie Fame, how the magazine Psychology Today saved his bacon growing up as a kid and everything in between. We discuss dyslexia, smoking pot with your teachers, trade school, working with his dad scoring a film and much more. So get ready for part two of our conversation with guest Peter Rafelson and learn what it was like having The Monkees instruments in his basement for years after the show ended its run. It's up next on part two of our conversation with the son of an Easy Rider or a Raging Bull. We're just not sure which one it was. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.

This is a special edition when The Bureau meets Jason Woodbury of Aquarium Drunkard for a joint transmission.     Los Angeles-based online music magazine Aquarium Drunkard is a one-of-a-kind map to the sprawling and often overwhelming landscape of independent music.  Founded in 2005 and piloted for over twenty years by Justin Gage, it has served as a curator, a passionate advocate, and a community for those seeking sounds beyond the mainstream. The Aquarium Drunkard podcast - Transmissions - hosted by Jason Woodbury, has become a massive resource for deep dives into music and culture via conversations and with an amazing range of musicians and cultural figures including Jeff Bridges, Jim Jarmusch, John Lurie, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, Devendra Banhart, Lee Ranaldo, Bonnie "Prince" Billy,  Shirley Collins, Gina Birch of the Raincoats and many, many more. Jason and I decided to make a joint transmission to talk about Aquarium Drunkard and Bureau of Lost Culture, and why we do it.   As well as writing for AQ, Jason writes for Pitchfork and Stereogum, is the creative director of WASTOIDS audio network, makes radiophonic sound collage, and he is a musician himself, so, of course, one of the first questions I ask him his how he gets it all done - especially as he has two dogs at his home in the Sonoran desert.     There is a bit of mutual back scratching, but we soon get onto the much more important topics of: the best time for creative work, not eating in your twenties, smoking, dreaming, the collective unconscious, David Lynch who really owns The Beatles song Yesterday, AI, consciousness, the most emotional moments from shows, the power of conversation and storytelling, who we'd really like to interview and what's next..

Today, I'm excited to speak with Brad Mindich, CEO and Founder of Inveniem, the leading archiving & fan engagement company that works directly with artists, estates, athletes, brands, and individual celebrities on finding, organizing, preserving, and monetizing their artifacts and history. Brad also founded Agent Phoenix, a brand realignment and creative consulting agency, which works with companies to improve and enhance their relationships with their target audiences. Brads businesses have served such iconic artists as Coldplay, Metallica, Norah Jones, Jeff Bridges, Questlove, and Elvis Costello, to name just a few. Prior to founding Inveniem and Agent Phoenix, Brad was President of the Phoenix Media/Communications Group, a multi-media organization, and is a veteran of several media and technology start-ups in the US and UK. Brad talks about the world of iconic creators – artists, actors, athletes, and other creative personages – and provides an overview of this exclusive niche and how he and other experts serve these VIP UHNW clients, especially helping them preserve and manage their intellectual property, intangible assets, and unique artifacts. The knowledge, tools, and processes Brad and his firm have developed and apply are not limited to just in this creative niche of the market. Brad describes how families of wealth can also leverage this approach and solutions to preserve and pass down their artifacts, heirlooms, and collections – but also their legacy and values more broadly. Brad goes over the practical steps of how families and UHNW clients can get started on this journey of understanding, managing, and making the most out of their creative assets and intellectual property. He delves into one of the most common roadblocks for many families and clients – how to first organize all the artifacts and creative assets they have so they can know what is there, what exists, and then follow the robust process to begin to manage these collections of unique, alternative assets. Enjoy this informative conversation with the leading service provider in this exclusive niche of the UHNW wealth management landscape.
