30 years ago, a board game from the darkest wilds took us on an adventure. JUMANJI was just a simple book about a couple of kids who find a board game that does magical things. In 1995, legend of comedy Robin Williams, along with director Joe Johnston brought that book to life. With state of the art effects, unforgettable production design, character acting, and a rare subdued performance by Williams, does JUMANJI still bring that same magic it did all of those years ago? Logan from @videovillaentertainment joins us to play the game you may never come back from.

Aug-Heist comes to a close with this 1995 Michael Mann film starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, sharing screen time for the first time in their careers. Mann already made this movie once, in 1989 as a made-for-TV movie called L.A. Takedown. In this iteration, De Niro plays the leader of a sophisticated band of thieves while Pacino plays the hardboiled detective obsessed with taking them down. The film features an all-star ensemble including Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Amy Brenneman, Diane Venora, Wes Studi, Dennis Haysbert, Jon Voight, and a young Natalie Portman. Critics praised the film, yet it opened behind family-friendly fare like Jumanji and Toy Story. Retrospective reviews have named it one of the most influential crime films of all time, inspiring works as diverse as The Dark Knight and Grand Theft Auto, there is a sequel/prequel, Heat 2, is due out next year. Now Aug-Heist calls in our last score for this year with Heat! For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Alana Newell is CEO of Crafty Apes, a company that grew through the worst stretch this industry has seen in decades. She got there the rare way. She came up as a compositor, ran 2D, and took on what was effectively a chief operating officer (COO) role at Rising Sun Pictures because she was tired of watching the end of the pipeline absorb every problem created upstream. Then she went and got a master's in business to understand how the machine actually works. She still holds both jobs. Her read on why most visual effects companies struggle is uncomplicated: the business is people, and the paycheck is not what motivates them. Alana walks Chris and Daniel through the three values she reverse engineered by watching the founders work instead of putting them in a room and asking, the one company one profit and loss rule that keeps a dozen satellite offices from competing against each other, and why agility beats chasing tax subsidies. She makes the case that machine learning is a feature of the visual effects pipeline and not a bug to be engineered out, argues that pretending you do or do not use AI is equally dishonest, and explains why the projects nobody could afford to attempt before are the real opportunity. Plus Wizard of Oz at Sphere, the VES Award for The Residence, Jumanji, the Australia expansion, and why the only operational problem she has never solved is the speed of the Earth's rotation.

Mike talks to director Lee Kirk about his new Green Day comedy, Nimrods, which follows a group of teenagers who road-trip to Los Angeles for the chance to open for their heroes, Green Day, on New Year’s Eve. Lee shares how he first connected with Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, the real-life band stories that inspired the movie, and what it was like directing a cast that includes Green Day playing themselves, Mason Thames, Mckenna Grace and Lee’s wife, Jenna Fischer. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Super Troopers 3. The troopers try to bring down a new drug ring, while Farva's wildly over-the-top engagement to Thorny's sister spirals into chaos. Mike talks about why he thinks this proves comedy movies are dead, why Broken Lizard's comedy has aged poorly and what movie they should have made instead of this one. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Jumanji: Open World where the in-game avatars Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan enter reality stuck in malfunctioning "demo mode," forcing real-world humans to step inside the game to fix it. Mike shares why people are outraged at Sony and the Rock’s Top 10 highest grossing movies. Get tickets to see NIMRODS in theaters August 14th! New Episodes Every Monday!

This week, we bounce from questionable kindergarten teaching techniques and a tour through old movies to a pile of upcoming sci-fi and superhero projects. Then, in Future or Now, AI gives hurricane forecasters a potentially huge advantage, NASA pulls off another bit of engineering wizardry to keep Voyager 2 alive, and the cast of The Pitt boldly goes where plenty of actors have gone before. Real Life Steven is officially over summer. Heat, summer schedules, summer in general—it's time to move on. Meanwhile, Ben has been watching OLD MOVIES, including Kindergarten Cop. Ben calls it an "exceptional film," but watching Arnold Schwarzenegger take control of a classroom in 2026 raises some questions. How would Detective John Kimble's teaching methods stack up against modern school employee safety training? How many policies would he violate before lunch? And perhaps most unsettling: just how old are all those kindergarteners today? That sends us down the inevitable road of examining an old movie through the lens of people who now have entirely too much experience with how schools actually operate. Steven also has a pile of upcoming genre television and movie news to talk about. Neuromancer is headed to Apple TV, while Blade Runner 2099 is coming as a limited series on Prime Video. San Diego Comic-Con also brought news about Ghost Rider and Black Panther 3, along with more X-Men casting news involving Cyclops, Emma Frost, Beast, and Professor X. Trailer Links: Neuromancer: Watch on YouTube Blade Runner 2099: Watch on YouTube Devon has been doing some family movie watching, working through the Jumanji movies and eventually arriving at Zathura. Technically part of the larger Jumanji family, Zathura doesn't quite live up to its predecessor. It doesn't help that Dax Shepard's character has to exist in the shadow of Robin Williams, which leads to the assessment that Shepard comes across as "a block of wood" by comparison. Things get considerably darker with The Long Walk, based on Stephen King's novel originally published under his Richard Bachman pseudonym. Devon found the adaptation interesting and well done—but extremely bleak. That conversation somehow takes a detour through Time Runner before eventually landing on Hokum and its supernatural layer. Future or Now AI Gets Better at Predicting Hurricanes Ben brings us a potentially enormous development in weather forecasting. Google DeepMind's WeatherNext AI system has demonstrated an ability to improve hurricane forecasts, potentially giving forecasters and emergency planners an additional day of warning. The system predicts both storm tracks and intensity and can rapidly generate thousands of possible scenarios. During Hurricane Melissa, it reportedly identified major intensification earlier than conventional forecasting models. That's potentially life-saving extra time for communities preparing for a major storm. But there's an interesting wrinkle: like many sophisticated AI systems, exactly how the model reaches some of its conclusions isn't always clear to the scientists using it. That makes WeatherNext another fascinating example of AI producing useful results while simultaneously raising questions about how much we need to understand a system before we're comfortable relying on it. And despite the improvement in modeling, humans aren't leaving the process. Meteorologists still have to interpret the information, communicate uncertainty, and turn forecasts into useful warnings for the public. Read the Ars Technica report on DeepMind's hurricane forecasting breakthrough This Week in Space: Voyager's "Big Bang" Nearly half a century after leaving Earth, Voyager 2 is still going, and NASA engineers are once again finding creative ways to keep it alive. In an operation nicknamed the "Big Bang," engineers simultaneously shut down power-hungry hardware and transitioned to lower-power alternatives while carefully keeping the spacecraft warm enough to survive. Voyager's dwindling power supply has forced NASA to make increasingly difficult decisions about which systems can remain operational, making every additional bit of usable energy precious. It's another remarkable chapter in a mission launched in 1977 that is still returning scientific data from interstellar space. Read more about the Voyager 2 operation at ScienceDaily Explore NASA's Voyager mission And while we're talking about space, we check back in on New Asgard and ask the important question: is Devon still going to space? The Pitt Goes to Star Trek Finally, there's an unusual crossover coming for fans of The Pitt and Star Trek. Noah Wyle and members of The Pitt cast are participating in a Star Trek table read benefiting the Writers Guild Foundation. It's not a new Trek series and it's not some bizarre medical-drama crossover episode—but it is an opportunity to hear a completely different cast tackle Star Trek material while supporting the foundation's programs. Read more about The Pitt cast's Star Trek table read at TrekMovie From aging action comedies to AI-powered hurricane forecasts and a spacecraft that refuses to die, this week is a reminder that the future has a funny way of colliding with the past. Join us next time for more science, sci-fi, and whatever unexpected detours we stumble into along the way.

Juliet and I have told pieces of this story over the years, but we've never sat down and told the whole thing from the beginning. This episode, I'm turning the tables and interviewing Juliet, because the full arc of how she ended up getting launched twelve feet into the air by a hippo on the Zambezi River is too good to tell any other way.It starts in the late 1990s, when Juliet was a D1 rower turned wilderness river guide in California: fit, competent on Class IV water, and completely unaware that a tryout on the Kern River was about to drop her onto one of the most storied women's extreme whitewater teams in the world. We're talking Kelly Califadich, Julie Munger, Beth Rippins, Sue Norman, Brooke Winger, Rebecca Rusch: true legends of the sport. Juliet was the youngest, the least experienced, and by Rebecca's nickname for her, the MEAT in the middle of the boat. What she had was athletic horsepower, the right mindset, and no real concept yet of what she'd signed up for.Winning nationals meant an all-expenses-paid trip to the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe for the 1997 World Championships. Two weeks of daily training in the Batoka Gorge: daily flips in Class V rapids, giardia, massive crocodiles between rapids, and a hundred-degree grueling hike in and out of the canyon every single day. Followed by a race they won. Then, because they'd budgeted a full month in-country, the team tacked on a five-day canoe safari at Mana Pools, Juliet's mom Janet included. Flat water. Wildlife. A chance to decompress.Emphasis on WILDlife.What Juliet describes about the moment of the hippo attack (the sound, the air, looking down into the open mouth of a four-thousand-pound animal) is something I still think about. And what she did in the seconds after hitting the water is the reason she's here to tell it.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat it actually took to make a women's extreme whitewater World Championship team in the late 1990s — and why the word "extreme" matteredHow high-volume rivers like the Zambezi differ from the Class IV whitewater most people have experienced, and why that gap is bigger than it soundsWhat two weeks of daily training in the Batoka Gorge looks like: the hike in, the carnage, the giardia, and what finally made the flipping stopWhy hippos kill more people in Africa than almost any other large animal — and what makes their attacks so difficult to surviveWhat Juliet's guide told the team in the safety talk before the canoe safari, and why the locals already knew not to be thereThe split-second decision Juliet made in the water after the attack — and why years of river guiding made the differenceWhy a lifetime of athletic competition and high-stakes environments still didn't prepare Juliet for this particular kind of fearWhat "primal terror" actually feels like, and how it's different from the adrenaline fear of running a dangerous rapidKey Highlights: (00:00) Kelly sets up the episode: an interview with Juliet about a story that shaped their life together(00:45) How they met at the Extreme Whitewater World Championships in Chile, including Kelly's infamous Class V swim(01:53) What made this sport extreme: Camel Cigarette sponsorships, helicopter carnage footage, and Class V rivers worldwide(04:28) Juliet's four World Championship venues: the Zambezi, Reventazon, Orange River, and Futaleufú(06:26) The legendary women's team: Kalafatich, Munger, Rippins, Norman, and Rebecca Rusch(09:07) Juliet's origin story: D1 rowing at Berkeley, chasing a tan, and becoming a wilderness river guide(12:01) The tryout on the Kern River and the Monday phone call that changed her life(15:08) Winning nationals means Zimbabwe: understanding high-volume rivers for the first time(21:18) Two weeks in the Batoka Gorge: daily flips, giardia, crocodiles, and finding the Nyaminyami(29:42) Winning the World Championship and the greatest French fries of Juliet's life(32:42) The Ready State Mobility Coach(32:47) The canoe safari plan: five days on the lower Zambezi at Mana Pools, with Janet, Juliet's Mom(36:31) Gary's safety talk: machetes, three guns, hippos, crocs, lions, and snakes(38:31) Days one and two on the river: crocodile wakes, hippo pods, and the Jumanji paddle bang(41:57) Hippo City or Hippo Bronx: the democratic vote that nearly cost Juliet her life(45:40) The attack: a sound like a gunshot, launched 12 feet into the air, and swimming for their lives(50:17) Stranded on a Cape Buffalo island, Tupperware canoe repair, and three silent days to the takeout(57:13) Juliet can't be beat at the "share an interesting fact" ice-breaker game(58:24) Primal fear and why Juliet will never do a canoe safari again(59:36) Reacting under extreme pressure, not freezing in the moment(1:02:33) Hippo shrine

Hello, and welcome to my debut episode! My name is Ken, a writer, illustrator & animator from Vancouver — and I'm excited to join the Video Store Podcast staff. If you have kids in your life looking for a great film to watch this summer, or to enjoy as a family with mass quantities of popcorn, listen close! I've got some you may have never heard of, but will definitely want to see. ZATHURA: A Space Adventure (2005)If you've seen any of the JUMANJI movies, this is the same kind of idea — but in space! Two brothers discover a board game that comes to life and hurls them into the far reaches of the galaxy, where they must battle hungry space aliens, meteors, a killer robot, and other dangers. The only way to get home is to finish the game, if they can survive! Earth to Echo (2014)If you like STRANGER THINGS, you'll get a kick out of this adventure. It's like E.T. meets THE GOONIES shot with cel phones, in a found-footage style. A group of friends are getting ready to move out of their neighborhood when they discover a tiny robot in the desert who needs to get home. Perfect for projecting onto a sheet in your backyard under the stars. Riddle of Fire (2024)An amazing indie gem where a band of kids called The Three Immortal Reptiles go on an adventure in the woods to outwit a band of criminals called The Enchanted Blade. Delightfully weird with a dungeon-synth soundtrack, this film feels like a throwback to Disney adventure films of the ‘70s with some GOONIES and LORD OF THE RINGS elements. Disclaimer: some mild profanity and kids cussing. SKETCH (2025)Amber and Jack are two kids grieving the death of their mother, and Amber draws scary monsters to cope with her sadness. When they discover a magic pond in their backyard that heals or brings anything that touches it to life, it's a recipe for chaos and adventure. This is an amazing film that more families really need to see. A cocktail of giant monsters, chase sequences, battle scenes, and personified metaphors for emotions of fear, sadness and grief, it's been described as JURASSIC PARK meets INSIDE OUT — but also with a touch of its own unique genius.Thanks for joining us at the Video Store Podcast for some kids' adventure recommendations!

It's time to curl up by the campfire for another Ghoul Scouts edition of The Fear of God!This week, our intrepid scouts Vera Goudie, Jess Fischli, and Jocee Worley continue their journey through childhood fears by tackling a film as adventurous as it is terrifying. 1995's JUMANJI was a thrilling action comedy about a board game with magical consequences. It featured the incomparable Robin Williams and Bonnie Hunt (alongside a young Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce) as two childhood friends whose lives were devastated by the game's unexpected dynamics. When a chance to finish the game and end the chaos for good emerges, they realize that finishing might just cost them everything.Jumanji had a unique blend of thrills, suspense, humor, and heart. It also featured some disarming observations about family and friendship and the power of our personal choices. The Ghoul Scouts unpack all of this and more in a fast-paced and thoughtful discussion we really think you'll enjoy!Patron Only Segment: Favorite Childhood Board Games5:20 - JUMANJISee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
La poeta Ava Cívico, que se define como “apoetisa”, visita El Ojo Crítico para presentar Otra vez triste y sin comer, un poemario que explora con una escritura física, intensa e incómoda cuestiones como la identidad, el cuerpo, la salud mental y los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. En una conversación sobre la ternura, la rabia y el poder de poner palabras al dolor, la autora reflexiona sobre la escritura como espacio de resistencia y vulnerabilidad.Recordamos también a Robin Williams en el que habría sido su 75.º cumpleaños, repasando la trayectoria de uno de los actores más carismáticos y queridos del cine, protagonista de títulos como El club de los poetas muertos, La señora Doubtfire, Jumanji o El indomable Will Hunting.El programa viaja hasta Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, donde el fotógrafo estadounidense Spencer Tunick presenta Gran Spectrum, una nueva instalación de arte participativo basada en una composición humana a gran escala.Además, analizamos las novedades del Estatuto del Artista, que incorpora medidas como la remuneración de los ensayos y los periodos de promoción, la figura del coordinador de intimidad y una nueva regulación de la participación de menores en el ámbito artístico.El teatro nos lleva al Teatre Romea de Barcelona, donde regresa El retrato de Dorian Gray en una nueva adaptación escénica.En la sección de cómic, Javi Alonso recomienda Adorables criaturas, de Damián y Esteban Hernández (Norma Editorial), una historia que transforma la experiencia de la crianza en un relato fantástico para hablar de los miedos, el agotamiento y la empatía hacia la infancia.Y Carlos García Fernández en la sección Triangular nos lleva de viaje a París, New York o Nueva Delhi, dónde encontraremos a protagonistas como Alice McLeod o John Coltrane.Escuchar audio
A buddy cop sequel about Jim Belushi and a dog? Clearly this is going to be peak action! We also discuss potentially bringing justice to Jim Belushi's name. DISCLAIMER: Language and Spoilers!K-911dir. Charles T. Kanganisstarring: Jim Belushi; Christine Tucci; Wade Williams
Welp! We managed to slip ALL THE WAY into darkness for this one. Just like little Alan Parrish slipped into the jungle some call Jumanji and be stuck there for 26 whole years in total darkness. That's 6894.5 days alone and being hunted... Holy mackerel, how did we not realize how dark this 1995 film starring Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst really was?! It's Probin' Time!And that's not even the depths of the Pit this week. We also look into a seemingly meaningless name that most people have never come across, only to find the unnecessary honoring of one a man up for the Worst Human All Time award. That man is William S. Harney, an excessively violent racist that took pleasure in being at the forefront of the theft of this land from the indigenous people of this land.We don't go too deep into details, but still, trigger warning.And if you enjoy what we're doing here at The Pit and would like to support us further, please go check out our Patreon where you can access our brand new Patreon-exclusive podcast: No5talgia!

Tell us what you though of the episode
Jonathan and JP are back with another packed week of trailer verdicts, screen time nostalgia, and the kind of movie news that makes you question everything.First up, List It or Nix It — the guys put Hot Spot, Klara and the Sun, Shrek 5, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Dinosaurs of the Wild West, Hexed, and Time of Death through the Letterboxd test. Some earn a spot. Some don't make it out alive.Then it's What We've Been Watching. Jonathan's been in the jungle with Jumanji, getting morally complicated with Red Rocket, and going full '80s nostalgia with Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. JP went deep with 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and swung back to the high seas with Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.And then there's The News. Toy Story 5 just had one of the biggest animated opening weekends in history — is Pixar officially back? Disclosure Day stumbles in week two. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is already breaking presale records but has to compete with Nolan for premium screens. The week's wildest story: Luca Guadagnino's nearly-finished film about Sam Altman gets dropped by Amazon — right after their $50 billion OpenAI deal. Totally unrelated, we're sure. Plus: Supergirl early buzz, a new Keanu Reeves Lego movie, Dan Trachtenberg doing kids' horror (yes, really), Austin Powers 4 is happening, and Emmy nominations are officially locked in.
This week, we tackle Star Wars Reddit questions, build the definitive Jabba Pokémon lineup, test some questionable snacks, and spiral from car disasters into movies where cut brakes are basically a death sentence. Then the nostalgia kicks in with FernGully, Pagemaster, Brave Little Toaster, Homeward Bound, Jumanji, and the childhood movies that either still hit or completely fall apart. We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on with stories of the good ol' days, nerd out about current and upcoming Star Wars shows, books, and games, and talk a little bit about life. Thank you so much for supporting our channel! We love interacting with all of you!

If you've ever found yourself negotiating with a three-year-old about wearing pants, sprinting across a playground to prevent a five-year-old from catastrophe, or wondering how someone so tiny can have such strong opinions about absolutely everything... this episode is for you. This week, Sonia and Jessica dive into the hilarious, exhausting, and surprisingly emotional world of parenting three-year-olds (or what the internet lovingly calls a threenager). From mommy swimsuit hard launches and public meltdowns to wild imaginations and newfound independence, we're talking about the stage of childhood that somehow manages to be equal parts adorable and complete chaos. We'll explore why three-year-olds seem to live in a constant state of emotional whiplash, how they're learning to navigate huge feelings with very little impulse control, and why sometimes the difference between a magical day and a total disaster is simply a snack and a nap.

All's Fair in Love and Mahjong hit Hallmark with a cultural controversy before a single frame aired — and then Hallmark went completely silent. Eric and Andrea watched the movie, gave it four stars, and have a lot to say about both the film and the network's baffling decision to go dark when they could have controlled the whole conversation.What You'll Hear• Why the cultural appropriation criticism around All's Fair in Love and Mahjong spread so fast — and how Hallmark's silence turned a manageable moment into a full PR mess they never recovered from• The real woman behind the movie: producer Joel's wife Ronnie, whose life inspired the entire story — and why that context would have squashed most of the controversy on its own• Did you spot the real Ronnie's cameo? She's hiding in the book club scene as the “I want my bird” woman — and Eric has Joel's number to confirm it• Fiona Gubelmann's performance — Eric calls it her best Hallmark movie by a mile, with special attention to her non-verbal acting during the karaoke scene that felt completely unrehearsed• Melissa Peterman stealing every scene she's in, and why Eric suspects she was improvising lines that no writer could have scripted that naturally• What didn't land: the too-brief secondary romance between the two Chinese characters that felt tokenistic given the runtime, and a small business loan subplot that hit a little close to homeChapters0:00 – Intro & The Controversy Around All's Fair in Love and Mahjong4:00 – Hallmark Went Silent: How They Let the Narrative Win8:00 – What Worked: Fiona Gubelmann's Best Hallmark Performance Yet12:00 – Melissa Peterman, the Friend Group & the Karaoke Scene16:00 – What Didn't Work: The Loan, the Tokenism, the House19:30 – The Real Ronnie: True Story, Real Cameo & Mahjong Trivia22:00 – Movie Recs: Twelve Games of Christmas, Jumanji & Field Day23:55 – Up Next: When Calls the Heart Season 1 FinaleDid the cultural controversy around All's Fair in Love and Mahjong reach your corner of the internet — or were you totally in the dark until now?
