Fetal personhood is one of those doctrines that have moved from the fringes of the conservative legal movement (and even from the fringes of right wing theology) to the center. While it is not clear how much support there is at the US Supreme Court for the idea that fetuses are people and have rights under the 14th Amendment, this once-obscure doctrine has been filtering into abortion and pregnancy criminalization since the Dobbs decision. In this episode, Moira walks Adrian through the strange history of this doctrine, and through its awful consequences for pregnant people or those who can become pregnant.

In our last solo review before the finale, Frank breaks down Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 7, “Like a Thief in the Night.” We cover how the Earth X arc reframes the team's choices, why Adebayo finally steps from reactive to proactive, the surprising nuance to Augie in a fascist world, and how Vigilante's sacrifice resets the board for the finale. We also talk about the episode's strongest character beats, where the mechanics show, and why John Cena's work this season stands out as his best to date. untitled Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro, episode plan, and what's coming for the finale 00:44 Dropped into Earth X and the Argus escape 01:09 Adebayo and Judo Master connect, seeing the world for what it is 03:06 Team regroups with two Vigilantes, plans the house infiltration 04:16 A different Augie in a different world, and what that says about DCU Augie 06:15 Chris vs. the past he can't outrun 07:14 Keith's near-death, Chris's breaking point, and a choice with consequences 08:27 The portal sequence, who stays behind, and what it sets up 09:10 John Cena's leap from Season 1 to now 09:52 What worked: real consequences, character-first storytelling, grounded stakes 15:44 Where it stumbles: mechanical connectors and limited Earth X texture 17:26 Performance shoutouts: Holland, Brooks, and scene craft 18:42 Why this is a perfect penultimate chapter and what we want from the finale Key Takeaways Earth X is a mirror, not a gimmick. The episode uses the setting to highlight privilege, hate, and willful blindness, pushing Chris to confront what he doesn't see until it's too late. Adebayo steps up. She's the glue when she's active, not reactive. This is her most decisive episode of the season, rallying the team and reframing her personal accountability. Augie's complexity lands. In a world that validates him, Augie isn't “better,” but he's different. That contrast sheds light on how alienation hardened DCU Augie. Consequences feel real. Death is on the table, choices cost something, and quiet character beats carry more weight than the explosions around them. Cena levels up. The grief and surrender scenes rank among the season's best acting, selling Chris as a broken man trying to do one right thing. Minor stumbles. A few transitions feel mechanical and Earth X's texture could use more on-screen shading to heighten anxiety and stakes. Quotes “This episode is character first, even when the world is exploding around them.” “Adebayo works best when she's leading, not reacting.” “Augie isn't redeemed here, he's contextualized. The world that embraced him made a different monster.” “Cena's performance turns Chris into a man who can finally look his guilt in the eye.” Call to Action If you're enjoying these breakdowns, follow and subscribe, drop us a rating and review, and share the episode with a friend using #GeekFreaksPodcast.

Greg Alba, Roxy Striar & John Humphrey dive into Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 7, titled “Like a Keith in the Night.” This penultimate chapter amps up the stakes as the team scrambles to escape the horrors of the parallel Earth-X and rescue Leota Adebayo from harm. Meanwhile, Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) - after last week's surprise Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) appearance - brings in yet another Superman Cameo in Sydney Happersen (Stephen Blackehart) as they attempt to track down the interdimensional portal...John Cena returns as Chris Smith / Peacemaker, still torn between the fantasy world where his family is alive and the reality he must fight to return to. Danielle Brooks delivers another intense performance as Leota Adebayo, whose identity and safety are under threat as the Earth-X dimension reveals its darker nature - leading to an unlikely alliance as Judomaster (Nhut Le) comes to her rescue just in time. Jennifer Holland's Emilia Harcourt, Steve Agee's John Economos, and Freddie Stroma's Adrian Chase / Vigilante all continue to navigate shifting alliances, moral compromise, and survival. The episode features haunting visuals, emotional confrontations, and the building momentum toward the finale. The teaser images suggest one of the team could be taken prisoner, while the DCU connection via Lex's cameo adds weight to the larger universe stakes.

Frank breaks down Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 6, “Ignorance Is Chris,” and why the “better world” finally shows its cracks. From the diner photo that warps, to Harcourt and Chris opening up in an interrogation room, to Vigilante meeting his Earth X counterpart, this episode clicks into place. We also hit Rick Flag Sr.'s prison visit with Lex Luthor, the Sons of Liberty twist, and the hallway tells that confirm where we are. It is a tense, funny, uneasy chapter that sets up a high-stakes sprint to the finale. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and episode plan 00:23 Housekeeping, L.A. Comic Con updates, why last week skipped 00:44 Frank's knee update and getting back on mic 01:01 The big swing lands: “Hello, Earth X, mind the flags” 01:19 Diner scene breakdown and the melting-faces photo 02:01 The inevitability of the reveal and why the vibe felt off 02:28 At Adrian's place: mom cameo, “secret room,” evidence stash 03:33 The Beanie Baby closet and recreating the portal 04:06 Back in the portal room: the neighbor-alien and why it matters 04:44 Sneaking the Smith mansion and the rising tension 05:20 Harcourt's snow globe stall, the car ride with Keith 06:10 Music clues in this world, no rap, the whitewashed timeline 06:33 Eagly raid in the kitchen, the mess to clean up 06:55 Vigilante meets Vigilante, animal “facts,” and the glasses tell 08:12 Sons of Liberty inversion and why Alt Adrian hates Peacemaker 09:39 Rick Flag Sr. visits Lex Luthor at Belle Reve 10:38 The deal for portal tech and the DCU bridge it hints at 11:19 Harcourt and Chris finally say the quiet part out loud 12:40 Adebayo's walk, “one got out,” and the street chase 13:59 Auggie ambushes Economos at the mansion 14:47 Alt Harcourt flips the switch at A.R.G.U.S. 15:08 The flag with a swastika and the words that land like a punch 15:47 Wrap up, what 6 through 8 now promise, social plugs and sign-off Key Takeaways The episode earns its dread by letting small details stack until the Earth X truth can no longer be ignored. Vigilante meeting himself is both the funniest stretch and honest character work that reframes his bravado. The Harcourt and Chris scene gives the alt-world twist emotional weight and nudges their relationship into something healthier. Rick Flag Sr. and Lex Luthor open the door to wider DCU stakes without hijacking the episode. Adebayo's street sequence and the desk flag reveal are the gut checks that make the cut to black land. Quotes “Hello, Earth X, mind the flags.” “One got out! It's a black.” “This is your perfect world.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this breakdown, follow the show, leave a rating, and share the episode with a friend who is watching along.

The Batman 2 Villain, Scarlet Witch X-Men Variant & Avengers Doomsday Doctor Doom's Motivation — Greg Alba, John Humphrey & Coy Jandreau (DC Studios) dig into all the big Marvel & DC Universe scoops you need to know. First up: rumor from The Cosmic Circus that Scarlet Witch returns in Avengers: Doomsday as an X-Men universe variant, possibly part of a Magneto-led royal family with Erik (Magneto), Pietro, Polaris, Wanda, exploring long-teased father-daughter dynamics. Then: Doctor Doom's motivations reportedly center around a vendetta against the Multiverse – protecting Earth-616 from destruction caused by the X-Men universe – setting Doom up as a multiversal threat on par with or above Kang. Also: the Avengers: Doomsday chair reveal dropped a massive cast list: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Paul Rudd, Tenoch Huerta Mejía, and less-expected faces like Lewis Pullman (Sentry), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Thing), among many others. On the DC side: we're covering Peacemaker Season 2—James Gunn's Season 2 is streaming now on HBO Max, bringing back John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Robert Patrick, Steve Agee, with new DCU characters like Hawkgirl, Maxwell Lord, Guy Gardner, and tying directly into the Superman (2025) film and foreshadowing Man Of Tomorrow. And don't miss our thoughts on what villain will finally push Bruce Wayne in The Batman: Part II, a bad guy “never really done before.” Smash that like, ring the bell, subscribe — you know we go deep.

Q&A on the series Peacemaker with actor Jennifer Holland. Moderated by Mara Webster, In Creative Company. Picking up where The Suicide Squad (2021) left off, Peacemaker returns home after recovering from his encounter with Bloodsport - only to discover that his freedom comes at a price.

This year we had the pleasure of hosting two Collider Ladies Night panels at San Diego Comic-Con. The first leaned heavily into the horror genre by putting the spotlight on Dafne Keen, Sophie Nélisse, Alexandra Shipp, Katie Douglas, Hassie Harrison and their upcoming IFC and Shudder titles. Then, the next night, I had the great honor of taking the stage with Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Danielle Pinnock and Marissa Bode to celebrate Peacemaker, The Bad Guys 2, Ghosts and Wicked.Every edition of Collider Ladies Night demands a significant amount of prep work, including these live versions of the show. But, ultimately, the success of a Ladies Night interview comes down to the guests, and with this group, we truly hit the jackpot. Bode, Pinnock, Holland and Brooks all took the stage with a sky-high passion for their current projects, a deep respect for what it took to hit this point in their careers, and an eagerness to celebrate one another.During the panel, Holland recalled first moving to Hollywood as a teenager and her ongoing journey of finding a sense of belonging, Pinnock looked back at her time “scamming” and the day she found out she booked her first series regular role, Brooks discussed why her time at Juilliard teed her up for great success in the superhero genre, and Bode discussed making her feature debut with one of the biggest hits of 2024, Wicked.After that, all four took a moment to look forward to all the good on the horizon - specifically Peacemaker Season 2, Ghosts Season 5 and Wicked: For Good.

Greg Alba & John Humphrey break down the brand-new Peacemaker Season 2 trailer, reacting to all the biggest reveals: the multiverse “two dimensions” premise, the DCEU → DCU transition, and Peacemaker confronting another version of himself in a parallel reality. We dive into how Superman (2025)'s ending and the surprise Maxwell Lord cameo tie into this DCU setup, plus expect appearances by Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Green Lantern Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), and Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn) Returning Season 1 cast John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Robert Patrick, and new additions Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Sol Rodríguez, David Denman, Tim Meadows, and Michael Rooker are all confirmed. We also examine the elephant in the room: which DCEU Peacemaker storyline remains canon and which elements are being rebooted under James Gunn's stewardship—and how this sets up Secret Wars vibes, new DCU Justice Gang politics, and Rick Flag Sr.'s vengeance arc.

We know that people can have different types of intelligence, but what about our dogs?  I think every pet parent I know has been astonished by how smart their dog is – and usually in a good way. Author Jennifer Holland explores the many different ways that dogs show their intelligence in her new book Dog Smart: Life Changing Lessons in Canine Intelligence. Jennifer interviewed everyone from scientists to dog trainers to pet parents to learn how dogs demonstrate their smarts.  I was fascinated to learn about all the different types of working dogs – some of which I'd never heard of before! But what does this mean for pet parents?  Jennifer shares with us what she now does differently with her own dogs after everything she learned while writing Dog Smart. We also discuss the types of intelligence we've seen in our own dogs. Jennifer may also have the most adventurous career I've ever heard of. While working on assignment for National Geographic, she did everything from swim with sharks to camp out amongst the Indigenous people of Papau New Guinea (and the mosquitos!). While writing Dog Smart, Jennifer's intrepid spirit shows when she dons a “bite suit” to be “attacked” by a law enforcement K-9 and again when led blindfolded through the streets of Manhattan by a guide dog-in-training.

Jennifer Holland is a longtime writer for National Geographic where she has covered animal behavior, evolutionary biology, natural history, and more. She is also a book author, whose latest work ‘Dog Smart' looks at the different ways we can re-consider the intelligence of our canine companions. Instead of anthropomorphizing them and evaluating against our own standards, we need to look at them for who they truly are. Former guest and psychologist Dr. Chris Blazina is the contributing host for this conversation with Jennfier about her new book and what she learned in the process of writing it.For more information about the episode, guest, and featured links: www.dogsavethepeople.com/episodes/jennifer-holland-2024   

Join host Robert Forto as he welcomes best selling author, Jennifer Holland as she talks about her new book, Dog Smart: Life-Changing Lessons in Canine Intelligence. You might mostly think of dogs as the furry treat-hounds snoring at the foot of the bed, put on earth solely to provide us with endless feelings of comfort, loyalty, and companionship. But despite their carefree and playful demeanor, dogs possess many kinds of intelligence, from the sensory to the social— and they've used these smarts to become one of the most successful species on the planet. We, as humans, just need to unlock the secrets behind those mysterious smarts. Dogs smarts, that is.    

Take a listen to our live coverage of Day 2 of the Republican National Convention, live from Riverwest Radio in Milwaukee.It's a perfect day to have veteran journalist Bob Hennelly, as Senator Bob Menendez is found guilty of all corruption charges. Bob talks with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.In this episode, reporter Sara Gabler travels to an info session on Moms for Liberty, and debriefs with Mother Jones senior editor Kiera Butler.Then we turn our attention to abortion. The Republican party platform on abortion, officially adopted yesterday, is just one paragraph and makes reference to states rights. It also says, quote "We will oppose Late Term Abortion, while supporting mothers and policies that advance Prenatal Care, access to Birth Control, and IVF (fertility treatments)."Wisconsin Watch reporter Phoebe Petrovic joins us to talk about her latest article about militant anti-abortion activist Pastor Matthew Trewhella.And, Jennifer Holland has been studying conservative anti-abortion organizing through the decades. She's the author of Tiny You: A Western History of the Anti-Abortion Movement, and joins us to analyze the contradiction between the platform and more hardline efforts like Project 2025.Ali Muldrow, executive director of the Wisconsin Women's Fund, tells us the current status of abortion in Wisconsin, and unpacks specific claims made yesterday by Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance about "tax-payer funded abortion. "We go to the intersection of North 14th and West Vliet Streets, less than a mile from the perimeter, where a Milwaukee man is dead after being shot by five police officers from Columbus, Ohio — who were sent to assist at the RNC. Reporter Peter Donalds was there to speak with some of the family and neighbors.Then we turn our attention to some of the super-rich of the Republican Party, including the Ricketts family and Wisconsin's own billionaire Diane Hendricks, who's here in Milwaukee.Dr. Everett Kelley rounds out the show. He's the national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, which is the largest union representing federal and D.C. government employees. 

Dog breeds get stereotypes. There's the well-heeled, intelligent border collie or the good-natured, but not-so-bright golden retriever. Jennifer Holland's new book, Dog Smart digs into what we actually know about dog intelligence. And: In recent years, honeybee-keeping has seen an impressive increase in the U.S. The rising numbers means more beekeepers are concerned with viruses that threaten hives. Wei-Fone Huang is studying honey bee pathogens and hopes to find novel solutions to fight them. Later in the show: If you grew up with pets, you probably had a local vet who saw every pet in town. Vets offices used to be pretty mom and pop. Lisa Scott says that these days, they're way more specialized and operate a lot closer to the way human medicine does, with vet techs–like nurses–doing a lot of the work. Plus: Pet ownership is up and it's getting harder and harder to find medical care for beloved animal friends. Megan Taliaferro explains why there's a shortage in veterinary care and how she's working to address it. Megan Taliaferro was named an Outstanding Faculty member by The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia.

McGruff the Crime Dog arrived on the scene at the dawn of the 1980s, just as a firehose of anti-drug PSAs was inundating the youth of America. These messages didn't always work as intended—but they did work their way into the long term memories of the kids who heard them.  In the second episode of our two-part series on the weird world of PSAs and very special episodes, we look at how the McGruff Smart Kids Album influenced everything from straight-edge hardcore to a couple's wedding playlist. We'll hear from Sarah Hubbard, Dan Danger, Joseph Cappella, David Farber, Mike Hawes, Robin Nelson, Daisy Rosario, and Tatiana Peralta.

Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that gave women in the U.S. the legal right to an abortion, has now been officially overturned. The Supreme Court rarely reverses itself. The ruling means states can set their own laws around abortion. Many plan to ban it outright. How did we get to this point?  For decades, mostly White Evangelicals and Catholics joined forces to put political pressure on Republicans to oppose abortion access – which has serious implications for communities of color. Reporter Anayansi Diaz-Cortes talks with Jennifer Holland, a history professor and author of the book “Tiny You: A Western History of the Anti-Abortion Movement,” and Khiara Bridges, a reproductive justice scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, about the racial dynamics of the fight over abortion.  Most abortions now happen with pills rather than a surgical procedure at a clinic. The ability to get the pills via mail and telehealth appointments has helped expand access to abortions. Now, religious anti-abortion activists are promoting the unproven idea that medication abortions can be reversed. Reporters Amy Littlefield and Sofia Resnick investigate the science and history of this controversial treatment called abortion pill reversal. But there's another religious voice that often gets drowned out by the anti-abortion movement. Reveal's Grace Oldham visits the First Unitarian Church of Dallas, which back in the late '60s was part of a national hotline for people seeking an abortion. Callers could be connected with clergy members who would counsel them and give a referral to a trusted doctor who would safely perform abortions. We hear how the church is continuing its legacy of supporting abortion access today, helping people in Texas who want abortions get them out of state.
