In this episode of Geek Freaks, Frank and Squeaks sit down with middle school teacher Mark Daumier, who's using comic books to revolutionize how kids engage with reading. Mark shares how he turned his love of comics into a classroom staple, building a library of over 14,000 comics and using them to teach visual literacy, historical events, and critical thinking. Plus, the Geek Freaks crew breaks down everything from the new King of the Hill revival and Vision series casting to the cancellation of EA's Black Panther game and the Switch 2 release. If you're a fan of comics, games, or how pop culture shapes education, this one's for you.

Mark Daumier uses over 14,000 comics in his curriculum, including creative assignments like comic-style reports. Comics like Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns are powerful but carefully used depending on student maturity. Star Wars, Captain America, and Spider-Man continue to resonate with students. The Vision series and Jocasta casting hint at deeper Marvel storytelling on the horizon. EA's canceled Black Panther game reflects broader industry issues. The Switch 2 launches with improvements but raises concerns about internet requirements. Original stories from Disney and Pixar are in demand more than retellings. Memorable Quotes: “If you read 20–25 comic books, that's the same as reading a novel.” — Mark Daumier “Comics help kids visualize what they're reading. That unlocks everything else.” — Mark Daumier “I was like, can I teach in your class now?” — Frank Lourence “Nintendo throws stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Sometimes they reinvent the industry.” — Squeaks Call to Action: Love what you heard? Subscribe to Geek Freaks on your favorite podcast platform and leave us a review.

Then, we go full throttle on the Ghost Rider casting rumor — no, it's not Nic Cage, but the Russos are allegedly cooking something spicy with the Spirit of Vengeance for Avengers: Doomsday. Could Ryan Gosling be the next flamehead? Next up, rumors swirl around Spider-Man 4: Scorpion, Boomerang, Tombstone, and maybe Mister Negative? We talk casting, leaks, and the potential return of Better Call Saul's Michael Mando. We also discuss Krysten Ritter being spotted on the set of Daredevil: Born Again, and Disney+ going all-in on Emmy submissions for Daredevil and Agatha All Along. Plus:

We move around a Taxidermist's candlelit workshop. It is full of dark, dusty objects cluttering every nook and cranny. Stuffed animals, piles of bones, amphibians pickled in formaldehyde; all tools of the trade, all laid out ready for use. We then reach Mr Stuffit, huddled up by the fireplace alongside his daughter Jocasta; who is a stunning thing of great beauty. Nineteen and never been kissed, but if eerie Gothicness was ever made an Olympic sport, with her tatty Victorian clothing, wild black hair, alabaster complexion and antique Caliper strapped around her leg, then Jocasta would already be on the podium.

"Oedipus Rex" (Ancient Greek: Οἰδίπους Τύραννος, Oidipous Tyrannos), also known as "Oedipus the King" or "Oedipus the Tyrant," is an Athenian tragedy by Sophocles that was first performed about 429 BC (noted classicist Gilbert Murray, translator of this version of the play, rendered the title as "Oedipus, King of Thebes"). It was the second in order of Sophocles's composition of his three plays dealing with Oedipus. Thematically, however, it was the first in the trilogy's historical chronology, followed by Oedipus at Colonus and then Antigone. "Oedipus the King" tells the story of Oedipus, a man who becomes the king of Thebes, whilst in the process unwittingly fulfilling a prophecy that he would kill his father Laius and marry his mother Jocasta. The play is an example of classic tragedy, notably containing an emphasis upon how Oedipus's own faults contribute to his downfall (as opposed to making fate the sole cause). Over the centuries, "Oedipus Rex" has come to be regarded by many as the Greek tragedy par excellence.

Ahead of its screening at the Kerry Film Festival, Gemma Creagh talks to Trish McAdam, Director of Songs Of Blood And Destiny. Based on the epic poem, iGirl, by Marina Carr. A narrator unravels her own life like some knotted ball of string, reflects with dark humour and heavenly wit on humanities destiny and evokes voices past and future. ​ The filmmaker takes the semi-autobiographic words of Marina Carr's epic poem, as if they were her own, encouraging the audience to do the same. Using her unique visual language, the filmmaker mirrors the slippery nature of Carr's work, fire, earth, air, water, crash and bump, contradictory truths told by a dynamic troupe of actors, banging on the forth wall. Visuals untangle, re-tangle in multi-layered collages to augment performances of Eileen Walsh, Cathy Belton, Brian Gleeson, Brian Quinn and new-comers Ella Lilly Hyland and Holly Sturton. The present day narrator is curious, funny but unforgiving, evoking voices, past and future. Joan of Arc, the warrior, Antigone, the truth teller, and the incestuous Jocasta and her son Oedipus, victims of homosapiens tragic fate of our own making. Looking forward from our contemporary, messy domesticity, back to the extinction of the Neanderthals, the film reminds us of the potential extinction of the planet, and ourselves, driven by our very desire to avoid it, fuelled by sci-fi fantasies of somewhere better in the beyond, transhumants of the future.

Sophocles' play Oedipus Rex begins with a warning: the murderer of the old king of Thebes, Laius, has never been identified or caught, and he's still at large in the city. Oedipus is the current king of Thebes, and he sets out to solve the crime. His investigations lead to a devastating conclusion. Not only is Oedipus himself the killer, but Laius was his father, and Laius' wife Jocasta, who Oedipus has married, is his mother. Oedipus Rex was composed during the golden age of Athens, in the 5th century BC. Sophocles probably wrote it to explore the dynamics of power in an undemocratic society. It has unsettled audiences from the very start: it is the only one of Sophocles' plays that didn't win first prize at Athens' annual drama festival. But it's had exceptionally good write-ups from the critics: Aristotle called it the greatest example of the dramatic arts. Freud believed it laid bare the deepest structures of human desire.

You see, in the comics, Jocasta was still alive long after Order 66. She remained in the temple and protected the archives, namely, the restricted section. The very same archives that housed the dark saber for many years after the death of Tarre Vizsla. It was here that she found the grand inquisitor, as well as Vader himself. Now, Vader was after her because she possessed the data drive that had all the force sensitive children in the galaxy known to the Jedi and where to find them. This was the Jedi order's list of new force sensitives to recruit. They would find these children, and bring them back to the temple to be trained from infancy. This was very valuable to Palpatine and Vader for many reasons. 1 to complete Order 66. 2. To possibly be used for Palpatine's experiments with cloning force sensitives or harbouring their blood as he tried with Grogu in the Mandalorian and 3. For Palpatine to replace Vader with now that he isn't as strong as Anakin Skywalker would have been had he not lost to Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. Vader apprehends Jocasta and if you want to see the full story in order of comics released, you can either buy the Marvel comics, or check out my coverage and explanation of them on the channel with sound fx, voice acting and music. Vader grabbed the data chip from her and saw all the names when plugging it into his ocular lenses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P29v5GtoaXw&t=4s Jocasta Nu met her untimely demise at the hands of Vader aboard an LAAT gunship and then immediately crushed the data chip with all the names of force sensitives, locations, and birthdays. He wouldn't ever be replaced by the Emperor, and so he destroyed the chip and when Palpatine asked him if he found anything of value, he lied telling his master, no, nothing. The treachery amongst the Sith knows no bounds. Vader destroying this information might have done more harm than good. It would have been valuable to know the list of many future Jedi or Sith out there, but now we may never know. I believe it was Jocasta Nu who saved Grogu. He was heavily guarded, and maybe there were more younglings who were being guarded, but for now it looks like it was just him. I believe he was a special case in the sense that he was very rare. We've only seen 3 yoda species in Star Wars to date, yoda, yadel, and now Grogu. I believe Grogu was extremely powerful and may have been able to stop that wave of 501st troopers, allowing Jocasta to get him to safety behind a closed door or hidden wall. Either that, or, Grogu was already safe and he was watching what was happening on a giant security monitor where Jocasta had taken him. Jocasta was alive for several months after Revenge of the Sith, this gave her enough time to get Grogu off world, or to keep him with her under her watchful eye. What could have happened was, she wiped his memory when things got a bit dangerous. When the Empire began to take control of the Jedi temple and she saw the shock troopers coming in. Then when the grand inquisitor arrived and then Vader soon after, that could have been when she wiped Grogu's memory and then possibly shipped him off somewhere on auto pilot, or sadly left him at the temple where the Empire found him and brought him to Palpatine. I like to think she sent him off to someone and his journey and adventure surviving order 66 begins with that person, who eventually falls to the empire, maybe an inquisitor or Vader himself, and has his mind wiped then and there as he's captured. I'm very excited to discover more behind Grogu's experience with order 66 and his survival as well as his interactions and abilities during his time at the Jedi temple with yoda, Mace Windu, Dooku, qui-gon and more.

Family has been an inexhaustible source of conflict for writers from the ancient to modern worlds – maybe even more inexhaustible than war. From Greek dramatists Aeschylus and Sophocles to Confucius, family is a source of both self-destruction and self-actualization. In this episode, we explore how family dynamics have changed over the centuries but have surprisingly universal characteristics across time and space. We are joined by Krishnan Venkatesh, host of the “Continuing the Conversation” podcast. We being with a journey deep into the heart of Thebes—where King Laius has died at the hands of his own son Oedipus, and Oedipus has unwittingly married his mother Jocasta—and a subtler journey into the world of 20th century Japanese filmmaker Yasujirō Ozu, where a happily domiciled father and daughter, Somiya and Noriko, will be ripped apart by the norms and expectations of tradition. This is an exploration of the nature of family, the tension between the safety and anxiety that family creates, and the rich and multiple ways that different societies express these insights.

Tim Arnold in conversation with David Eastaugh https://timarnold.co.uk https://timarnold.bandcamp.com/album/super-connected# Singer songwriter, film-maker, composer, social activist and founder of Save Soho. In recognition of his constant change of musical direction, Iggy Pop noted in an interview with NME that Tim's music reminded him of David Bowie.  Tim scored music for Iggy's film, Blood Orange, featuring the theme song, “Money Kills Love.”  Tim is also the last artist to collaborate with Bowie and Kate Bush mentor, Lindsay Kemp. Their 2018 video single and live arts installation ‘What Love Would Want' was inspired by the United Nations' ‘He for She' campaign for gender equality and has since sparked a movement for social and human rights in Europe and North America. Tim is an active and vocal LGBTQIA+ ally.

“According to New Testament scholar Frank Stagg and classicist Evelyn Stagg,[1] the synoptic Gospels of the canonical New Testament contain a relatively high number of references to women. Evangelical Bible scholar Gilbert Bilezikian agrees, especially by comparison with literary works of the same epoch.[2]: p.82 Neither the Staggs nor Bilezikian find any recorded instance where Jesus disgraces, belittles, reproaches, or stereotypes a woman. These writers claim that examples of the manner of Jesus are instructive for inferring his attitudes toward women and show repeatedly how he liberated and affirmed women.[1] Starr writes that of all founders of religions and religious sects, Jesus stands alone as the one who did not discriminate in some way against women. By word or deed, he never encouraged the disparagement of a woman.[3] Based on the account of Jesus' interaction with a Syrophoenician woman in Mark 7:24-30 and Matthew 15:21-28, Karen King concludes that "an unnamed Gentile woman taught Jesus that the ministry of God is not limited to particular groups and persons, but belongs to all who have faith."[4] “In psychoanalytic theory, the Jocasta complex is the incestuous sexual desire of a mother towards her son.[1] Raymond de Saussure introduced the term in 1920 by way of analogy to its logical converse in psychoanalysis, the Oedipus complex, and it may be used to cover different degrees of attachment,[2] including domineering but asexual mother loves – something perhaps particularly prevalent with an absent father. The Jocasta complex is named for Jocasta, a Greek queen who unwittingly married her son, Oedipus. The Jocasta complex is similar to the Oedipus complex, in which a child has sexual desire toward their parent(s). The term is a bit of an extrapolation since in the original story Oedipus and Jocasta were unaware that they were mother and son when they married. The usage in modern contexts involves a son with full knowledge of who his mother is. Theodor Reik saw the "Jocasta mother", with an unfulfilled adult relationship of her own and an over-concern for her child instead, as a prime source of neurosis.[3] George Devereux went further, arguing that the child's Oedipal complex was itself triggered by a pre-existing parental complex (Jocasta/Laius).[4] Eric Berne also explored the other (parental) side of the Oedipus complex, pointing to related family dramas such as "mother sleeping with daughter's boyfriend ... when the mother has no son to play Jocasta with".[5] With her feminist articulation of the Jocasta Complex[6] and Laius complex[7] Bracha L. Ettinger criticizes the classical psychoanalytic perception of Jocasta, of the maternal, the feminine, and the Oedipal/castration model in relation to the mother-child links. Atossa, in the Greek tragedy The Persians, has been seen as struggling in her dreams with a Jocasta complex.[8] Some American folk tales, like Jocasta, often feature figures expressing a maternal desire for their sons.[9]” According to The Bible, Jesus' cousin John was beheaded to death and put in prison, Herod committed incestuous marriage with his brother's wife, Herod was seduced by a striptease by Herodias' daughter, and Herod wanted infant Jesus to be a fatality via infanticide. That's Biblical organized crime. Judas was a rat and snitch according to organized crime figures. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Family is an inexhaustible source of conflict for dramatists, novelists, and filmmakers—perhaps more inexhaustible than war. From Greek dramatists Aeschylus and Sophocles to Confucius, Vyasa, and Ozu, family is a problem, a question, and a source of both self-destruction and self-actualization. In this episode,  Santa Fe host Krishnan Venkatesh is joined by tutor Aparna Ravilochan for a journey deep into the heart of Thebes—where King Laius has died at the hands of his own son Oedipus, and Oedipus has unwittingly married his mother Jocasta—and a subtler journey into the world of famed Japanese filmmaker Yasujirō Ozu, where a happily domiciled father and daughter, Somiya and Noriko, will be ripped apart by the norms and expectations of tradition.

Welcome back Obsassenachs! This week on The Sassenach Files I'm discussing 605: “Give Me Liberty”. Join me as I talk about Roger's soft spot for young mothers and how that drives him towards a civil servant career path, along with the news that Bree is pregnant, and Jocasta's true reasoning for buying Fergus that print shop. I also express my sympathy for Lord John as he once again is placed in a tight political squeeze while protecting Jamie from the ire of the crown and it's agents. Creative production choices were also on full display this episode a la Bonnie Prince Charlie's escape “over the sea to Skye” and the “Colonel Bogie March” in the closing moments of the episode, so stay tuned to see what I had to say about those things as well–among other things :)

Ro talks with Rob of the Jedi Temple Archives, appropriately about everyone's favorite Jedi archivist, the venerable Jocasta Nu. What secrets are in the archive? What's she protecting? Or better yet, what is she hiding? Take a deep dive with us and see what we came up with. Are you intrigued as we are? Jocasta Nu's Jedi roots are shrouded in mystery. Plus, we asked you on Twitter to give us WRONG answers on what Jocasta is hiding in those archives and you guys came up with some funny ones. Ro reads the Twitter posts from some of our followers. Good stuff. We are a proud founding member of the Red5Network. #WeAreRed5

Some say that neither party comes out of it well, but there are also serious concerns that this televised court case is harmful to victims. New sentencing guidelines regarding child sexual offences come into force today. Child abusers will now face tougher sentences for the act of planning or facilitating sex offences even if sexual activity doesn't occur or the child doesn't exist, for instance, where police pose as children in sting operations. We hear from Gabriel Shaw, Chief Executive of the charity NAY-PAC, National Association for People Abused in Childhood. And for the first time in Scotland, some victims of rape and domestic abuse will be able to formally meet those who harmed them. In a process called restorative justice, victims of crime, such as sexual abuse or assault, can ask for a face-to-face meeting with the perpetrator. Andrea talks to Gemma Fraser, head of Restorative Justice Policy at Community Justice Scotland, and Ashley Scotland, Chief Executive of the charity Thriving Survivors, which will offer a specialist service for cases involving sexual harm.
