What is art nouveau and how did it flourish around the turn of the 20th century? This aesthetic movement dominated many artistic fields in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was influenced by nature and used trademark organic shapes and sinuous lines, moving away from previous limits to create new kinds of design objects. Let's take a few minutes to reflect on where art nouveau came from, as well as its major themes and artists. Unlike many artistic waves, art nouveau didn't come from one particular artist or theory. Rather it marked a change in mentality, and a move away from traditional restrictive art forms. How did the movement start? What are the main characteristics of Art Nouveau works? Who are the main figures of the Art Nouveau movement? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions ! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here : What are subliminals? What is sadfishing?

Did we really need another Jurassic Park sequel in 2025?That's the question I walked into Jurassic World: Rebirth asking… and honestly? I got exactly the movie I expected.This isn't a film that's trying to shock you, move you, or redefine blockbuster cinema. It's here to put massive dinosaurs on the screen, create some loud, chaotic set pieces, and give you a couple hours of popcorn entertainment — and for better or worse, that's what it delivers.In this spoiler-lite review, I talk about:• Whether franchise fatigue has finally caught up with Jurassic World• Scarlett Johansson's role and whether she adds anything new• Why I missed Chris Pratt• The visuals, the spectacle, and the very familiar storytelling• Who this movie is actually for — and who should probably skip itIf you're looking for the next great cinematic event, this probably isn't it. But if you've enjoyed previous Jurassic movies and just want another somewhat silly adventure with enormous dinosaurs causing chaos? This might be a perfectly fine way to spend an evening.Let me know in the comments:
This week Brian and Cory are joined by 18yr old Comedian Lucas Estrella. Lucas discusses the filming of his upcoming "Mini-Special"/ School project. He talks about the payment he received from Brian from doing a show. And then Brian and Cory ask Lucas, how he knows Mark Wahlberg, and other 90's references, then they explain what "to catch a predator" was, Then listeners add to our celebrity celebration pool and things get aggressive when Lucas defends has to defend his love of Jurassic Park to Cory. #Podcast #Comedy #JurassicPark #NWA #MarkyMark #Fun
In this episode we share that by only having 24 hours in Singapore puts you in “taste-test mode” — you're not trying to do everything, you're trying to feel the city. After disembarking from a cruise (with a few early-morning obstacles), we spent a full day chasing iconic Singapore experiences: kaya toast and local coffee at Ya Kun, the wow-factor of Gardens by the Bay (OCBC Skyway, Cloud Forest, and Flower Dome), lunch at the famous Lau Pa Sat hawker center, and a festive night at Christmas Wonderland in Supertree Grove. (Some links are affiliate links. See our disclosure.) Help Support the Podcast by Buying us a Coffee ☕️ or using our links whenever you book a trip! We also share where we stayed (Conrad Singapore), what we'd do differently next time (food tour, satay, more time), and a key lesson about visiting Jewel Changi Airport — including what no one tells you about early baggage drop and terminal logistics. What You'll Learn in This Episode • How to plan a Singapore stopover when you only have one day • What's worth paying for at Gardens by the Bay (and what you can skip) • What to expect at a hawker center without a guide (and how to order smarter) • The truth about durian ice cream (smell, taste, and the after-effects) • Why Jewel Changi Airport can be trickier than it looks (check-in timing + terminals) • Why Singapore is a great gateway for Southeast Asia cruises • How many days you really need to do Singapore right (your sweet spot: 3–4 days) Here's Your 36-Hour Singapore Itinerary Morning (arrival + hotel area) • Cruise disembarkation + immigration e-gates tip: pack a day bag for the final night (toiletries, meds, pajamas, change of clothes, laptop) • Transport tip: Grab is the main ride-hailing app • Breakfast: Ya Kun Kaya Toast (kaya toast + coffee) Late Morning–Afternoon • Gardens by the Bay • OCBC Skyway (iconic Supertree views and Marina Bay Sands) • Cloud Forest (Jurassic Park exhibit + indoor waterfall + walkways) • Flower Dome (holiday train display and botanical zones) Lunch • Lau Pa Sat hawker center • Tip: order small items from multiple stalls instead of one big dish • Reminder: clear your tray — signs warn of fines/bans Evening • Evening Light Show at the SuperTree Grove (FREE) or if visiting during the holidays you'll need a ticket to the Christmas Wonderland at Supertree Grove • or see the light and water show in front of Marina Bay Sands Hotel - if you're not familiar check out the Marina Bay Sands episode on Amazing Hotels Departure Day Add-On • Jewel Changi Airport waterfall + photo spots • Reality check: early bag drop depends on airline desk hours • Terminal note: you may have to change terminals by bus/taxi, depending on where you depart Quick Tips • Don't rely on same-day ticket luck if you only have one day — book Gardens by the Bay tickets ahead. • If you're choosing between Supertree Observatory and OCBC Skyway, you probably only need one for views. • At hawker centers, go with a plan (or better: take a food tour). If you're unsure, order a few small things from different stalls. • For Jewel: check your airline's early check-in hours and your departure terminal before building your timing around it. Where We Stayed Conrad Singapore (Hilton) • Strong location for getting around • Great value (you paid cash because points redemption wasn't worth it) • Upgrades + Diamond benefits made a big difference • Excellent breakfast (lounge available but you didn't have time) Best Moments • The first “wow” view from the OCBC Skyway • Cloud Forest: mist, waterfall, and Jurassic Park exhibit • Holiday train display surprise inside Flower Dome • Christmas Wonderland vibes in warm weather • The chance encounter at the airport with fellow cruisers (and the Georgia Bulldog hat moment) What We'd Do Differently Next Time • Add a food tour (especially for hawker centers) • Try the satay you skipped at Lau Pa Sat • Make time for Raffles Hotel + Singapore Sling • Go up to Marina Bay Sands rooftop bar / viewing area • Plan a longer stay: 3–4 days to slow down and go beyond highlights If Singapore is on your list — whether as a stopover or a longer stay — we'd love to help you plan it in a way that fits how you actually like to travel.

In 1975 a man named George Lucas began preparing to make an audacious film that would come to be known as Star Wars. The movie, released in 1977 would go on to blow the minds and capture the hearts of countless people all over the world. The movie showed them things they'd never imagined they'd see, space battles, laser swords, a battle-station the size of a moon destroying a planet, and a guy in a suit with asthma. The problem was, back in 75 no company existed to create the effects George needed to see his dream become reality...so he created one. Industrial Light & Magic was born. The crew that initially created the visual effects were a rag tag team of nerds, outcasts, and people with hobbies other's saw as ridiculous. Together they literally made magic happen, and it didn't end there. For the last 50 years ILM has been making the impossible possible by creating some of the most memorable moments in cinematic history. ILM has put you on the edge of your seat, they've put your jaw on the floor, and they've taken your breath away more times than you know. It's time to tell their story, the Historically High way.

It's been nearly three years since landmark settlements were reached between states and major opioid producers. Since then, roughly $100 million has been dispersed to combat addiction, but it's unclear how much of that money has been spent so far. The Current's Alena Mashke joins us for more on the lack of spending transparency. From Star Wars to Jurassic Park, Hollywood movies and TV shows have long relied on special effects to bring supernatural stories to life. This process often involves sculpting, puppetry, animatronics and technology – and has many times involved Louisiana native and Emmy-award winning special effects artist, Lee Romaire.Romaire grew up in Morgan City, Louisiana, before attending LSU and later moving to Hollywood to pursue a career in the industry. He joins us now for more on his 25 years in special effects and how his background in taxidermy set the foundation for his career.Tomorrow night marks the beginning of the 2026 Mardi Gras season.

Looks like we missed the turn to go to Nilbog, kids. Let's just keep going to Norway. Troll 2 is the kind of sequel that knows exactly what it is and leans into it with reckless enthusiasm. This is a big, loud, gloriously dumb monster movie that wears its influences proudly on its sleeve—Roland Emmerich disaster excess, Indiana Jones-style pulp adventure, Jurassic Park escalation, and Godzilla-scale city-smashing spectacle. It doesn't apologize for any of it. Instead, it barrels forward with the confidence of a film that understands the assignment: entertain first, think later. The plot is predictably ridiculous, but that's part of the charm. Ancient threats awaken, governments panic, scientists shout exposition, and ordinary people find themselves running very fast from things that absolutely should not exist. The film gleefully stitches together familiar blockbuster tropes, but does so with enough sincerity that it never feels cynical. It's corny, yes—but it's fun corny, the kind that invites you to laugh with the movie rather than at it. Where Troll 2 really shines is in its scale and energy. The action sequences are big, messy, and frequently absurd, but they're staged with surprising clarity and enthusiasm. The trolls themselves are impressively realized, blending creature-feature menace with just enough mythic weirdness to give the film a distinct Norwegian flavor. The movie may be chasing Hollywood spectacle, but it never completely loses its regional identity, and that grounding helps the madness go down easy. In the end, Troll 2 is a celebration of blockbuster stupidity done right. It's not trying to reinvent the genre or inject faux prestige into monster mayhem. It just wants to smash landmarks, crank the music, and keep the audience grinning for two hours—and it succeeds. If you enjoy over-the-top disaster movies, pulpy adventure throwbacks, and unapologetically silly spectacle, this sequel delivers exactly what it promises, and does so with a big, dumb smile on its face.

Stepping away from the "Jurassic Park" of local news and the "casino" lights of cable, Lionel dismantles the "Left/Right Paradox"—the trap where the left controls your speech and the right controls your thoughts. From the gritty legal realities of "Uncle Lenny's Law School" to the "existential threats" of AI and globalist agendas, Lionel challenges listeners to become autodidacts and stop relying on political complacency. Whether deconstructing the "tone-deafness" of modern politics or arguing for the legalization of drugs to destroy cartel profits, Lionel cuts through the "petty talk" to find the authentic truth in the modern "Wild West".

In this episode of Parenting Is a Joke, comedian Emily Walsh talks to Ophira Eisenberg about becoming a parent later in life and being labeled “advanced maternal age” by New York doctors while taking “nightly little baby aspirin” she was told “sometimes works” for reasons no one could explain. She describes meeting her tiny five-pound newborn who arrived a month early with “newborn fuzz” on her ears and back and a full head of hair that proved her pregnancy heartburn was accurate karma for marrying a very “hairy man.” Parenting for the first time at 40 means learning everything on the fly — sometimes quoting TikToks as if they were books — while hoarding three different “booger-sucking robots,” including a hospital-grade model she gleefully uses every morning. She shares postpartum rage (“Don't kill your husband” turned out to be wise advice), frustration with breastfeeding (“barbaric,” she says), and the absurdity of pumping in Times Square between comedy sets because the manager can't comprehend her need to schedule pumping. A broken ankle took away her baby-calming outdoor walks, she hasn't made a “mom friend” yet, and her social circle is still figuring out she's “not dead,” even as she continues podcasting, stand-up, and raising a baby who dressed as Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic Park with her bassinet converted into the Jeep and her husband in an inflatable T-Rex suit.
