**Infinite Plane Radio Broadcast: November 23rd, 2025**This broadcast provided an analysis of current media narratives and political events, framing them as components of the broader **Psyop** Entertainment Complex designed to maintain a controlled worldview through a media duopoly, predictive programming, and reinforcement messaging.* **The Media Duopoly and Controlled Opposition** * The media operates via a duopoly: "Mainstream and alt-mainstream. But the two are triangulated against one another". * Pundits like Candace Owens, despite having the "number one podcast in the world", are seen as "controlled opposition". * Her role is to serve as a bridge, redirecting followers from questioning media (red pill) into specific political narratives (J pill). * "No, she got her start with Project Veritas. I mean, this is all just controlled opposition." * "She's a bridge from red pill to J pill where, yeah, these conspiracies aren't really true. The real truth is this." * "Candace Owens is leading people down well-paved rabbit trails."* **Charlie Kirk (CK) Event as a Staged Psyop** * The purported assassination of Charlie Kirk (CK) is viewed as a "staged **Psyop**" or "magic show". * The CK event was "likely planned, at least scheduled... in the mid-90s". * The narrative structure involves three phases: "predictive programming", "concurrent programming" (e.g., Charlie Sheen discussing JFK assassination on Joe Rogan just before the CK news), and "reinforcement programming" (Candace Owens dominating the topic). * "I think that politics... needs to be looked at as part of the **Psyop** entertainment complex." * "The assumption that people die in **Psyops**" is described as a "guardrail" that prevents people from viewing media fakery in its entirety. * "So now the dominant narratives on this topic are saturated with the alt media perspective clashing with the mainstream. And that's it." * "But the assumption that they're dead is sort of a, it's a guardrail."* **Political Theater and Societal Control** * The entire political system is characterized as "bread and circuses" designed to give "subjugated populations" an "illusion of power". * The political horseshoe split maintains division, enforced by provocateurs. * QAnon is described as a "cult" involving a "syncretic blend of Christianity and politics". * "I think MAGA's on the way out. I think it served its purpose." * "It's clear to me... that there's such a heavy-handed control over worldview that it constitutes a monopoly..." * "I mean, you have to recognize the effectiveness of this systemic media fakery and manipulation of worldview through the fabrication of historic events."* **Predictive Programming and Monolithic Symbolism** * Historical events are forewarned through "predictive programming," acting as "product placement for future fake events". * This manipulative worldview is described as "monolithic," drawing parallels to the monolith in *2001 Space Odyssey*. The monolith represents "the ubiquitous worldview that is a merging of real and fake. Hyper-reality...". * The concept of a "design authority" or "Saturnian presence" is linked to figures like the Man in Black in *Westworld* and Ed Harris's character in *The Truman Show*, who controls time and space. * "I look at it as product placement for future fake events." * "I think what he's giving away with that movie is that we are being moved into this space odyssey." * "The design authority, the meta-scripters, they are the Saturnian presence here." * "If you can plot a timeline and plan in advance 30 years prior to major historically significant events, you control time."* **Color and Archetypal Symbolism (Green/Joker)** * The color green is frequently associated with class warfare and left-wing revolutionary archetypes. * The Wicked Witch in *Wicked* is described as "100 antifa coded", rebelling against a "fascist wizard of oz". * The Joker archetype is highlighted as a "class warrior" linked to "kill the rich" themes. * "So the Joker is accosted by some rich guys on a subway, and he kills them. And he's now a hero." * "The green beret, the Joker, kill the rich, kill the CEOs. This is like a building theme..."* **The Nature of Reality and Disbelief** * The mainstream perspective often equates to the information provided by systems like "Wikipedia or chat GPT". * True skepticism is based on "informed disbelief," achieved by examining all sides, rather than "low information belief". * Psychological operations are only effective because "empathic people weren't being triggered and emotionally manipulated". * "The reason she's number one is she's propped up. I don't think it's organic." * "If your sole frame of reference is your seat and what the magician tells you to lo

Welcome back to SuperHero Homies! In this episode, we launch the ULTIMATE Superhero Actor Tournament — a 16-actor bracket showdown to decide who is the greatest superhero actor of all time. From Hugh Jackman's Wolverine to Chris Evans' Captain America, Heath Ledger's Joker, Christopher Reeve's Superman, and more, we break down iconic performances, legendary moments, and why each actor deserves (or doesn't deserve) to advance. But first… we kick things off with a fun cold open, where we briefly discuss Wicked For Good (no spoilers), and then dive into three major video games: Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, and Expedition 33. We cover the pros, cons, gameplay, storytelling, and whether they live up to the hype. Then it's on to the main event:
You have had your Thanksgiving dinner. Now it's time for dessert, the final Thanksgiving parade of the 1980s. As always, highlights of pop culture from the year make appearances, as well as ads for the must-have items for the holiday season. In 1989, we also get a weird appearance from The Joker (no Cesar Romero and his orange wedges) plus a troupe of dancing chickens.
Marc Bernardin slides into the digital Scum & Villainy Cantina with an installment of Black Man Beyond with special guest Princess Weekes ( @Princess_Weekes ) to give their perspectives on the Netflix original FRANKENSTEIN, Edgar Wright's THE RUNNING MAN, and the Apple TV+, Original PLURIBUS, with a hint of audience Q&A to wrap it up. ►► Your Holiday wardrobe awaits!

Tim and Guy are up against it. It's only the second watch and Guy fears the pair are in too deep a water already. That is a scary prospect for two men looking down the barrel of 12 more watches in just 4 short days. Let us gaze upon the beautiful cinematography and excellent acting of Joker 2 and marvel at how it stills somehow manages to be a really stinky film. Tim offers advice for his friends in the MRA community and swears to all Holy powers above that David Bowie most probably played The Sims.Support us, and watch these episodes early, ad-free and in video form (plus bonus content) at twioat.substack.com Hosted on Acast.

For this Thanksgiving-week DC Spotlight covering the books of November 26, 2025, Jace and Rocky tackle one of the biggest slates of the year and find a lively mix of event chaos, holiday charm, grounded character work, and absolute-universe bombast, even as they debate whether the buzz around the Absolute line and DC KO is starting to overshadow the strong "regular" DC books. They unpack how Superman #32 quietly becomes one of the most essential KO tie-ins by finally revealing how the villains escaped the Phantom Zone and entered the tournament; how Flash #27 and Justice League Unlimited provide fun but mixed connective tissue to KO; and how Christopher Condon's Green Arrow #30 delivers another emotional gut-punch of Ollie, Roy, and Lian's family drama as the run nears its end. They also spotlight the gritty precision of Gabriel Hardman's new Black Label debut Arcadia with Batman, Green Arrow, and the Question, revisit the escalating mystery in Immortal Legend: Batman, cheer on the kaiju spectacle of Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, and take a surprisingly deep dive into the holiday anthology I Saw Ma Hunkel Kissing Santa Claus, praising the meta-hilarious Animal Man riff, the charming Supergirl/Brainiac 5 romance, and a Dr. Light/Atom story that may even seed future key elements. But the episode ultimately belongs to the Absolute Universe, with the guys debating what works in Absolute Wonder Woman #14 before completely losing their minds over Absolute Batman #14, a gloriously unhinged action-packed fight finale to the Abomination arc filled with skyscraper-dropping theatrics, venom-fueled warfare, Killer Croc callbacks, and a chilling Joker twist that redefines Bane's future. They celebrate Nick Dragotta's wildly ambitious layouts—now finally earning the industry recognition his East of West work always deserved—while reflecting on how the issue crystallizes what makes this version of Batman so different: a hero who fights not to win, but because fighting is the point. The episode wraps with their week-end rankings, teases of upcoming Fireside Chats, YouTube shout-outs, and a Thanksgiving sendoff that doubles as a rallying cry for the week's standout title: "Welcome to Gotham."
It's time for our annual tradition here at BatChat, up there with cranberry sauce from a can, stuffing that's a little too dry and avoiding conversations about politics with your red baseball cap wearing relatives: it's all ages Thanksgiving. Three stories of Batman for the whole family come in some very different flavors this year: the next volume of the Webtoons Wayne Family Adventures Strips, a younger readers OGN that retells classic children's stories with a Batman twist and the second volume of the strangest concept we've ever talked about, the manga where Joker raises a de-aged baby Batman. Happy holidays to those who celebrate here in the states, and know we are thankful to all of you who listen.

Juggalo News Presents: The Carnival Grounds with Madd Maxxx and Reverend Television
On this long awaited episode of The Carnival Grounds, Maxxx and the Reverend Television finally make their return to the airwaves after more than a year of waiting with a very special guest, OG Juggalo Legend Boppo the Clown, as we discuss the 3rd Joker's Card in the Second Deck, the albums of Lost & Found that are The Marvelous Missing Link. This very thinly veiled homage to the duality of Heaven and Hell as described in Catholicism/Christianity has always been a very polarizing album to the Juggalos, some love it, most hate it, few are indifferent to it. We discuss the parallels between "God" and "Religion" as well as just kick it old school like you would imagine 3 elder Juggalos would. Don't miss our return to the pod, because now that the final card in the Second Deck has dropped we can finally bring this portion to a conclusion. The Carnival Grounds will always remain, but once we reach The Naught, things will inevitably change. Stay Tuned!

Shai Gilgeous Alexander vs Nikola Jokic In Another MVP Battle HEATS UP Gil's Arena as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to SGA & The Joker leading the race for the NBA MVP for the 2nd straight season and debate what Jokic needs to do to dethrone Shai and reclaim his spot as the best player in the world. They also react to Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Victor Wembanyama joining Shai & Jokic in the top 5 for the NBA MVP and debate if this will be the first time we see an all foreign All-NBA First Team before giving their take on what's causing the current smattering of injuries running though the NBA. Next, they react to a wild finish in the New York Knicks vs Dallas Mavericks game that saw Jalen Brunson earn his first win of the season and debate if this Knicks team is good enough to deliver on their preseason hype as the favorites to come out of the Eastern Conference. Finally, they continue to break down the turmoil with the Dallas Mavericks as Anthony Davis has gone down with injury and Cooper Flagg publicly called out the team's decision to start him at point guard.

Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to review the episode that flaunts itself all over town, Joker's Millions. Alex and Will discuss the many redesigned characters that appear in this episode, including The Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and The Penguin. Then they shift their attention to the storyline and discuss it's more comical and silly side. Such as Joker committing crimes only for the money, or the fact that he's living in an apartment that would make even Harvey Bullock feel dirty to step foot in. Our hosts also notice that Nightwing goes on a "just friends" date with Barbara to the Iceberg Lounge, Batman discovers a new way to interrogate thugs, and Joker gets imprisoned for tax evasion and meets a new character named D-Pop (don't ask what the D stands for).

Nol-vember continues this week on We Drink & We Watch Things as we charge headlong into what is maybe the greatest superhero film ever made: The Dark Knight (2008). Forget the cape and cowl - this is a sprawling, high-stakes crime epic that pits the fragile notion of order against the pure, terrifying force of chaos. Grab a drink and prepare to discuss a film that still defines cinematic villainy.This week, we are dissecting Heath Ledger's legendary, Oscar-winning performance as the Joker, who isn't interested in money or power, but in proving that all of society's rules are meaningless. We'll be talking about the film's philosophical backbone, exploring the tragic fall of Harvey Dent, and debating whether Batman's moral line—that he "won't kill"—is a strength or a dangerous liability when facing a truly limitless enemy. It's a discussion about necessary lies, the burden of heroism, and the ultimate sacrifice required to save Gotham's soul.If you love deeply layered crime thrillers, philosophical debates masked as superhero movies, or just want to appreciate the absolute brilliance of a film that transcends its genre, this is the episode you've been waiting for. We're blending our analysis of its narrative depth with our usual casual banter, making this an essential chapter in our month dedicated to Christopher Nolan.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

In this episode, Chris sits down with Austen Gray of Joker's Republic to unpack the writing and recording of their 2022 single, “Gin and Tonic.” From the raw, emotionally charged lyrics drawn from personal experience to the bold sound of a three-piece ska band unafraid to break tradition, Austen offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the song came together. The conversation explores how working with veteran producer Roger Lima reshaped the band's creative approach, the importance of trust and collaboration among bandmates, and how this song in particular required little reworking. Tune in for a fun and insightful talk with one of the young songwriters that's keeping ska-punk alive and thriving.

We may have two wait a few decades for the tell-all Todd Phillips memoir that finally explains what led to JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX being, well, JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX.

Actor Cesar Romero is probably best known for his role as The Joker in the 1960s Batman series, a portrayal that would later define the character and cast a large shadow over future screen adaptations. But well before Romero put on the green wig and red lipstick, he had a successful and varied career. He acted alongside the Rat Pack in Ocean’s Eleven and Carmen Miranda in Week-End in Havana. Most of his roles fell into the ‘Latin Lover’ stereotype, a mold he did not fit in his everyday life. Yet, despite on-screen limitations, Romero was still able to imbue each character with a sense of humanity. In the new biography Cesar Romero: The Joker is Wild, author Samuel Garza Bernstein goes in depth about Romero’s life pre-Hollywood, his career pre-Joker, and his 1980s renaissance as an A-list TV actor. On FilmWeek, Larry speaks with Garza Bernstein about Romero’s legacy.

Voice actor JP Karliak (Morph in X-Men '97, Gargamel and Razamel in Smurfs) joins us for a fascinating discussion about how nerdy media shapes our understanding of identity, community, and civic participation. As founder of Queer Vox, a nonprofit supporting LGBTQIA+ voice actors, and co-founder of NerdsVote, which works to get nerds involved in democracy, JP brings a unique perspective on how superhero stories and geek culture can serve as gateways to uncomfortable but necessary conversations about representation and social change.Key Discussion Points:How voice actors can use their "notable nerd" status to mobilize fan communities toward civic engagementWhy nerddom inherently connects to empathy and understanding otherness, particularly through franchises like X-MenWhat authentic casting means for LGBTQIA+ characters beyond performative diversityWhy seeking only comfort in entertainment prevents engagement with different perspectivesThe essential role of discomfort in growth and understandingJP brings depth and nuance to these topics through his experience voicing Morph, a non-binary shapeshifter in X-Men '97, while sharing insights about the voice acting industry and the importance of authentic representation both in front of and behind the microphone.The conversation weaves through representation, activism, and the power of storytelling to create change, ultimately highlighting how superhero narratives can serve as modern mythology that helps us process and progress through today's most challenging social issues.Guest Bio:JP Karliak is a veteran voice actor whose characters span animation, gaming, and anime.
