There's a blunt-force clarity to “The Bluff.” Cannons roar, cliffs loom, and survival comes down to grit, guns, and one badass mother who refuses to bend. Directed by Frank E. Flowers, the 19th-century Caribbean thriller follows Ursell (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), a former pirate whose quiet life is shattered when Connor (Karl Urban), a betrayed former ally, arrives with vengeance and unfinished business on his mind. What unfolds is part Pirate-themed, “Die Hard”-esque siege movie, part reckoning with empire, and, in Urban's words, “actually a love story with the volume turned up.” The film hits Prime Video on February 25 and also stars Temuera Morrison, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, and more.On this episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo is joined by Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Karl Urban to talk about the sweat, the history, and the franchise futures looming on both of their horizons.When asked just how physically punishing the shoot for “The Bluff” was, Urban did not romanticize it. “At the end of every single day, I would go and get all the stuff taken off, and I would have a double tequila ready to go and ready for that car ride home,” he said. Chopra-Jonas raised the stakes. “I definitely needed a tetanus shot, and margarita, and a bottle of wine.” The production was shot entirely on location, on a tight schedule, and there was “no time for anybody to fall sick. There was just no room.” Chopra Jonas admitted. “But, I mean, it looks great, and it turned out great.”
If you don't know what the term BDSM refers to, then the comic drama "Pillion" may not be for you. Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling star in the very...I repeat, very...adult story of a dominant biker and his submissive partner. While it's well written and smartly acted, much of the content of this R-rated movie pushes it close to the NC-17 designation. Still, for open-minded viewers, the unconventional romance “Pillion” is an empathetic portrait of an unusual relationship. Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain stars in the dark and unpleasant drama, "Dreams." She plays a socialite having a steamy affair with a much younger, very talented Mexican ballet dancer played by Isaac Hermandez. The fact that he's an illegal alien is only one of the numerous problems this couple faces.The immigration theme in “Dreams” is top-of-mind, but the movie is undermined by unlikeable characters and...here we go again...some unusually graphic sex scenes. The Amazon Prime movie "The Bluff" is a throwback action swashbuckler starring Priyanka Chopra and Karl Urban set in waning days of Caribbean piracy, the late 19th century. Chopra plays a former pirate known as Bloody Mary hiding out with her family on one of the remote Cayman Islands A rival pirate played by Urban, once her mentor, seeks her out. When he discovers her whereabouts, he takes revenge on her for stealing his stolen treasure. This ain't your Disney pirate adventure, folks. "The Bluff" is a violent R-rated thriller that delivers the action but suffers a bit from its sketchy dialogue and bloody, over-the-top mayhem.
A swashbuckler action thriller film directed by Frank E. Flowers, written by Flowers and Joe Ballarini, and starring Priyanka Chopra, Karl Urban, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green and Temuera Morrison. In the late 19th century Caribbean, a former pirate must protect her family when her past catches up to her.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Februar ein neues Mantel-und-Degen-Spektakel exklusiv zu Prime Video von Amazon. In den Hauptrollen stehen Karl Urban und Priyanka Chopra vor der Kamera und liefern sich ein maritimes Kräftemessen voller Intrigen, Kanonendonner und rauer Seeluft.

A week after the Super Bowl and we finally got The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer, took long enough. Also Warner Bros seems to finally relent and gives Paramount 7 days to try again. If the Simpsons ever ends, which is probably more likely than you think, it wont spend time on a grand finale. PlayStation held a state of play last week, and it was heavy on Kratos, plus if you are waiting on a steam deck, blame AI.
Today, the boys caught up with Kiwi actor and all-around GC, Karl Urban. This guy has one hell of a filmography, and he isn't showing any signs of slowing down. His new film 'The Bluff' is coming out on the 25th February on Amazon Prime, and we were lucky enough to get a sneak peek before its release, and, to quote Dunc, "This is easily the best pirate movie I have ever seen." Synopsis 'The Bluff is an Amazon Prime Video action-thriller starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden, a former pirate in the 19th-century Caribbean trying to live a quiet life. When her vengeful former captain (Karl Urban) threatens her family, she must revisit her violent past to protect them.'

In dieser Folge widmen sich Franzi und Karl dem Feedback zu den letzten beiden Geschichten im AstroGeo Podcast. Besonders gefallen hat ihnen die E-Mail einer Hörerin, deren Fantasie so sehr angeregt wurde, dass sie sich nun als Teil „eines unwahrscheinlich kleinen und zufälligen Teil eines riesigen und unfassbaren Zusammenhangs“ sieht. Herzlich willkommen in der Welt von AstroGeo! Karl spricht über die korrekte Terminologie rund um Meteoroiden, Meteore, Meteoriten und Boliden. Das ist nämlich ein wenig mühsam: Ein Meteoroid ist ein kleinerer Gesteins- oder Eisbrocken auf einer Sonnenumlaufbahn. Tritt er in die Erdatmosphäre ein, wird er zum Meteor – gerne auch Sternschnuppe genannt. Und schaffen es Bruchstücke bis zur Erdoberfläche, heißen sie schließlich Meteoriten. Auch geht es nochmal darum, auf welchen Größenskalen die Ausdehnung des Universums stattfindet – ob nur jenseits von Galaxien oder auch auf dem Maßstab von Sternen, Planeten oder Atomen. Dann geht es zurück in der Zeit, zu den ersten Sternen im Universum. Sie sind irgendwo da draußen, aber gefunden hat sie noch niemand. Franzi taucht dafür in die Prozesse ab, bei denen Sterne neue Elemente erbrüten: die Kernfusion von masseärmeren zu -reicheren Elementen. Genau jene massereicheren Elemente, von Astronominnen und Astronomen auch unter dem Sammelbegriff „Metalle“ abgehakt, sollte es nämlich in den sogenannten Sternen der Population III überhaupt nicht geben. Zur Entstehung des Mondes gab es eine lebhafte Diskussion. Es ging erst einmal um den Befund selbst: Wie sicher ist es, dass ein marsgroßer Planet namens Theia mit der Protoerde zusammenstieß? Es geht um mögliche Szenarien für die Zeit danach, zum Beispiel, dass sich erst zwei Monde gebildet haben, die schließlich auch zusammenstießen und den heutigen Erdmond formten. Karl erklärt auch die Europium-Anomalie, die als wichtiges Argument für den großen Einschlag gilt: Über den Gehalt des Seltenen Erd-Elements in den Mond-Hochländern und den vulkanischen Mare-Ebenen lässt sich belegen, dass der Mond schon vor der Bildung der großen Einschlagbecken über einen globalen Magmaozean verfügt haben muss. Abschließend gibt es allgemeines Feedback zur Nutzung des Podcasts (nicht nur, aber auch zum Einschlafen), zu Wissen und Unwissen bei astrophysikalischern Modellen voller Dunkler Materie und Dunkler Energie sowie zum Einsatz KI-generierter Transkripte bei AstroGeo.

Im Juni 1986 erlebten Planetenforscher einen Heureka-Moment. Denn sie waren zum ersten Mal einig, wie die Erde zu ihrem ungebührlich großen Mond gekommen ist. Diese Erklärung gilt bis heute als das wahrscheinlichste Szenario: Kurz nach der Entstehung der Erde vor rund 4,5 Milliarden Jahren stieß ein marsgroßer Planet mit der Protoerde zusammen. Aus dem verdampften Gestein, das dabei ins All geschleudert wurde, bildete sich wenig später der Mond. Karl erzählt in dieser Folge, wie es zu diesem Heureka-Moment kam – denn nur wenige Jahre zuvor war die Forschungswelt noch hochgradig zerstritten, was die Entstehung des Mondes anging. Mindestens eine Handvoll Hypothesen war im Rennen. Man diskutierte, ob der Mond sich von der Erde durch allzu große Fliehkraft abgespalten hatte oder ob er friedlich an der Seite der Erde aus dem Urnebel gewachsen war. Andere glaubten an ein eingefangenes Objekt aus der kosmischen Nachbarschaft – oder sogar an eine natürliche, nukleare Explosion tief im Erdinneren nahe dem Erdkern. Schon in den 1940er Jahren war dem kanadischen Geologen Reginald Daly aufgefallen, dass die mittlere Dichte des Mondes recht genau der Dichte des Erdmantels entspricht. Aber erst die astronautischen Mondlandungen des Apollo-Programms und die Proben verschiedener Raumsonden brachten ab 1969 Gewissheit: Erdmantel und Mond müssen aus dem gleichen Urmaterial entstanden sein. Gleichzeitig besitzt der Mond nur einen winzigen Eisenkern. Alles zusammen wirkte wie ein Sieb für die diversen Modelle der Mondentstehung. Übrig blieb am Ende nur der große Einschlag. Trotz der klaren Hinweise bleiben bis heute einige Fragen offen. Zum Beispiel ist weiter unklar, warum zwar der Fingerabdruck der Sauerstoff-Isotope in Erdmantel und Mond sehr gut übereinstimmen – immerhin das häufigste Element von Erde und Mond – aber einige Spurenstoffe teilweise radikal abweichen. Dazu gehört der Anteil von Eisen und anderen Metallen, aber auch von flüchtigen Stoffe wie Wasser oder Kohlendioxid. Herausfordernd für die heutige Forschung ist vor allem das Wachstum des Mondes direkt nach dem großen Einschlag, bei dem es ziemlich heiß hergegangen sein muss.

Nicht viele Sterne können von sich behaupten, beinahe unser Verständnis vom Universum kaputt gemacht zu haben – aber ein Stern mit der Bezeichnung HD 140283 hätte es fast geschafft: Im Jahr 2000 schätzten Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler sein Alter auf 16 Milliarden Jahre. Und damit wäre dieser so unscheinbare Stern älter als das Universum selbst Er liegt in rund 190 Lichtjahren Entfernung im Sternbild Waage und ist von der Erde aus zwar nicht mit dem bloßen Auge, aber doch immerhin schon mit einem Fernglas sichtbar. Seinen Spitznamen als „Methusalem-Stern“ hat er sich damit mehr als verdient. In den darauffolgenden Jahren korrigierten neue Messungen und Studien dieses Alter glücklicherweise nach unten. Inzwischen gilt HD 140283 zwar immer noch als alt, aber nicht mehr als älter als das Universum selbst. Trotz seines stolzen Alters ist eines wissenschaftlich sicher: Der Methusalem-Stern ist keiner von den allerersten Sternen, die es in unserem Universum je gegeben hat – doch auf die haben sie es abgesehen. Forschende bezeichnen jene ersten Sterne im Universum auch als Sterne der Population III. Es sind die Sterne, die nach dem Urknall als erstes Licht ins Dunkel brachten. Damals, vor Milliarden von Jahren, gab es im Universum vor allem Wasserstoff und Helium. Erst die ersten Sterne haben jene massereicheren Elemente hergestellt, die wir heute kennen und schätzen – und ohne die es uns nicht geben würde: Kohlenstoff, Sauerstoff, Stickstoff, und noch schwerere Elemente bis hin zum Eisen. Somit ist zwar vollkommen klar, dass es diese ersten Sterne gegeben haben muss. Und doch haben Forschende noch nie einen solchen Stern beobachtet, trotz Jahrzehnten der intensiven Suche. In dieser Folge erzählt Franzi von dieser Suche nach den Sternen der Population III, die Licht ins Universum gebracht haben – eine Suche, für die Forschende versuchen, mit dem James Webb-Weltraumteleskop so weit in die Vergangenheit zu blicken wie möglich. Aber auch unsere eigene Milchstraße bleibt ein möglicher Fundort für die wahren Methusalem-Sterne.
Vin Diesel är ett namn som ofta kommit upp i podden men trots det har vi hållit oss borta från hans filmer. I veckans avsnitt blir det ändring på det! Vi tacklar nämligen actionrökaren The Chronicles of Riddick. The Chronicles of Riddick är uppföljaren till den kultförklarade lågbudget sci-fi-skräckisen Pitch Black, och Vin Diesel återvänder för att spela en helt ny karaktär med samma namn. Återvänder gör även regissören och manusförfattaren David Twohy och den här gången har de mer än fyra gånger större budget än när man gjorde föregångaren. Som alltid när man har en budget stor nog att man inte behöver kompromissa med sin vision betyder det också att man förväntar sig högre intäkter, men då vårt tema är "box office floppar" kan ni nog räkna ut hur det gick med den saken! Men vad var det egentligen som gick fel? I veckans avsnitt söker vi svaret på den frågan! Mycket nöje! Superlänk till alla plattformar: https://linktr.ee/Filmsmakarna

Unveiled at CCXP Brazil on Dec 7, 2025, this first look thrusts us into Homelander's dystopian America—a world warped by his erratic, egomaniacal rule, where Supes enforce martial law and The Boys face their darkest hour.Hughie, Mother's Milk, and Frenchie rot in a brutal "Freedom Camp," while Starlight (Annie) rallies a desperate resistance against an unstoppable Supe army. Kimiko vanishes into the chaos, leaving fans on edge. Enter Billy Butcher, resurfacing with a game-changing virus poised to eradicate all Supes, igniting a chain reaction that promises to shatter the world forever. "It's the climax, people. Big stuff's gonna happen," teases the trailer's tagline, amplified by Karl Urban's gravelly narration and Antony Starr's chilling Homelander smirk.The teaser spotlights epic returns: Jensen Ackles' cryogenic Soldier Boy thaws for chaos, joined by Supernatural reunion magic with Jared Padalecki's mysterious new role (hint: shadowy alliance with Homelander) and whispers of Misha Collins. Eric Kripke's panel reveal has sparked frenzy, with the two-episode premiere kicking off weekly drops through the May 20 finale—setting up an all-out bloodbath blending satire, betrayal, and Supe genocide stakes.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the trailer's shocking visuals, plot twists, and why this endgame elevates The Boys beyond Marvel/DC tropes into must-watch TV anarchy. From Homelander's cult empire to Butcher's moral abyss, explore how Season 5 delivers the gore-soaked payoff we've craved.

The whole squad is in for the showdown of a lifetime this week, as Thomas Godolkin's plan is finally revealed, so we brought back-up too — Ebube joins the Bankole, Chiagoziem and Oseghale this week to make sense of the finale of 'Gen V' season two.They start by discussing bob-gate, as well as the fandom's mixed feelings about the end of the season and what it could mean for the future of both 'Gen V' and 'The Boys', then they get into the potential plot conveniences while praising the finale's incredible performances (Keeya, please call Oseghale). They also try to decide whether the show used Thomas Godolkin effectively enough, and if there's more to Sage's role than we all initially thought.Plus, Polarity gets his flowers for being the actual adult in the room, and the squad shares their thoughts on the episode's fun cameos, as well as the newly revealed resistance.You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTube.Host: Bankole ImoukhuedeGuests: Chiagoziem, Oseghale and EbubeProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
Welcome back to the Captain's Quadrant, where warp speed opinions meet photon torpedo-level takes! Today, Jason Roy Gaston and VHS Jase beam into the Kelvin timeline to dissect the third installment of the rebooted Star Trek franchise: Star Trek Beyond.If you enjoy the show please consider becoming a Patreon! Returning VHS JaseStar Trek Beyond boldly goes where Into Darkness stumbled. With Justin Lin at the helm and Simon Pegg co-writing, this entry trades convoluted villain reveals for classic Trek vibes: exploration, camaraderie, and a dash of philosophical musing. The Enterprise crew is stranded, the stakes are personal, and the villain Krall (Idris Elba) brings a gritty menace that feels earned.Chris Pine channels a more seasoned Kirk, balancing swagger with introspection.Zachary Quinto's Spock is emotionally layered, especially in scenes with Karl Urban's McCoy—who absolutely steals the show.Sofia Boutella's Jaylah is a breakout star, giving the franchise a fresh, fierce energy.Jason Roy Gaston notes: “This is the most ‘Star Trek' of the Kelvin movies—it's not trying to be Star Wars, it's trying to be Starfleet.”VHS Jase adds: “Jaylah is the MVP. She's got the attitude of a rogue and the heart of a Federation officer.”Lin's action chops shine in kinetic sequences, but it's the quieter moments—like Kirk's reflection on his father's legacy—that give this film warp core depth. The visuals are stunning, the score (with a killer Beastie Boys callback) pumps adrenaline, and the pacing never drags.Absolutely. Beyond feels like a love letter to The Original Series while still pushing the Kelvin timeline forward. It's not perfect—Krall's backstory could use more polish—but it's a thrilling, heartfelt ride.
You know that feeling? The bittersweet one?... When your wild theory turns out to be true and you're stoked, but also your wild theory turned out to be true so now your favorite characters are absolutely cooked? Yeah?… Well so do we.On the penultimate episode of Gen V Season 2, Bankole, Chiagoziem and Oseghale find themselves reckoning with the fact that Marie might be not just the Avatar, but Paul Atreides. They get into the true implications of her seemingly limitless power, the extent to which Cate is — or isn't — redeemable, and how Keeya Kings's portrayal of Annabeth is becoming an emotional cornerstone for the season. (Keeya, please call Oseghale if you're reading this).They also make some Godolkin University-educated guesses on who's most likely to die in next week's season finale. Somehow, they additionally end up trying to figure out the mechanics of what is definitely the most repulsive pocket dimension put to fiction.

It's the fight of the decade in the world of 'The Boys'! And frankly, we're scared in the front row.Bankole and Chiagoziem are tag teaming this fight for this week's 'Gen V' and they give each other their flowers for all the predictions they correctly made about the events of this episode, before proceeding to set them on fire as they're hit by the curve ball the story throws them about Cipher.They praise Cipher's calm intellect and discuss the show's apt naming system for goats, inadvertently cementing the status of Avatar: The Last Airbender as iconic storytelling, all while fearing for Jordan's life and wondering if there are certain angles best left unseen in the bathroom.You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTubeHost: Bankole ImoukhuedeGuest: ChiagoziemProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

We're kicking off our third video games month with one of the most notorious adaptations: 2005's DOOM starring The Rock and Karl Urban.

Continuing our journey through excellent genre movies of the Marvel era, this week we're watching Dave's pick - Dredd (2012). Directed by Peter Travis, written by Alex Garland and starring Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby and Lena Heady, this no-nonsense sci-fi romp is all action, one-liners and impossible chins - a brutal if uncomplicated look at what the world might be like if everything became a massive city with all the bad guys living in fortified tower blocks. Don't worry about whether that's a bit problematic and just enjoy the ride. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Mike shares actors who took home million dollar paydays despite being on screen for a little amount of time. Some actors earned a million dollars for each minute they appeared on screen! While others were paid for movies that were never even released or that they ended up being cut from. It’s wild! In the Movie Review, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and the Thing face their most daunting challenge yet as they defend Earth from Galactus and Silver Surfer. Does it do a good job setting up the next phase of the MCU, what was lacking in the story and who stole the show. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Mortal Kombat 2 starring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage who is an actor forced into the role of champion of Earth in a universal fighting tournament to the death. Mike talks about his history with the video game, why this movie seems to lean more into the fun and violence but questions why all movies like this are starting to look the same?

To continue the Cop Movie weekly theme, I summarize two Karl Urban procedural films: ACTS OF VENGEANCE (2017) and BENT (2018). What did Jay Skipworth (Film Strip Podcast) think about these kinds of mid-budget Action flicks for today's audiences? Why is Karl Urban not a bigger star despite being in so many franchises and proving himself as a star? And which film kicked way more ass?

Josh and Garrett dive into the week's biggest entertainment stories while David enjoys the Disney magic!This week, Josh breaks down Ari Aster's polarizing new film Eddington - a pandemic satire that's definitely not the horror movie you'd expect from the Hereditary director. Is it brilliant commentary or just too soon? Plus, we're genuinely upset about Stephen Colbert's Late Show getting cancelled and what this means for the future of late night television as an institution.Garrett shares his surprising first-time Love Island experience (spoiler: these kids are way more emotionally mature than expected), we react to the Mortal Kombat 2 trailer with Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, and break down this weekend's box office where Superman continues soaring while the Smurfs movie crashes hard.We also dig into the heartbreaking news about PBS and NPR defunding and why these American institutions matter more than you might think - plus what you can do to help.Timestamps:Eddington Review: [3:15]Love Island Deep Dive: [9:24]Colbert Cancellation: [14:03]PBS/NPR Crisis: [19:45]Mortal Kombat 2 Reaction: [22:36]Box Office Breakdown: [25:00]Coming Later This Week: Our review of Netflix's K-Pop Demon Hunters!Find all our links at SoManySequels.com | Follow us on Letterboxd | Join our Discord communitySo Many Sequels: Your weekly movie podcast that's like hanging out with friends who happen to love talking about films.
Kicking things off, Jack Dorsey—a man with too much time on his hands—has vibe-coded his beard into an insecure messaging app that the company admits you shouldn't trust... yet. Meanwhile, if you want a piece of a legendary disaster, the Fyre Festival brand sold for a mere $245k after some shady bidding that might be a "shitty agentic AI" at work.In the world of our future robot overlords, Nvidia's CEO calmly admitted "some harm will be done," while billionaires like Travis Kalanick are busy discovering "vibe physics" with Elon Musk's Grok—an AI that literally checks what its dad thinks before answering. But the real insanity? The internet is demanding an apology from Elmo's hacked account, proving we're mad at the puppet, not the puppeteer. On the more tangible front, Tesla is making desperate moves in Canada and India as sales collapse, while we learn that hackers have been able to stop US trains for over a decade remotely, but no one has bothered to fix the issue. Oh, and laid-off Candy Crush staff? They were forced to train their AI replacements on the way out the door. The future is bright.Over in Media Candy, we're grudgingly impressed by Andor's 14 Emmy nods and the genius faux '90s action movie trailer for Karl Urban's Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat II. We also got trailers for Stranger Things 5 and Tron: Ares, where Jared Leto thankfully only speaks two words.Finally, Dave takes us to the Dark Side for a nostalgia trip through the history of the Apple II and the Kaypro 2000 laptop, sparking a debate on why we all coveted a computer that, in retrospect, wasn't that great. This is contrasted with the modern reality of an IPTV pirate getting three years in prison and Metallica issuing a copyright strike against the Pentagon. To wrap it all up, a TEDx talk poses the ultimate question: Has tech delivered on its promises? We're still thinking about that one.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Our 2009 retrospective continues with one of the most memorable summer blockbusters of that year, J. J. Abrams's reboot of "Star Trek" starring a whole new cast including John Cho, Ben Cross, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Winona Ryder, Zoe Saldaña, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Eric Bana, and the returning Leonard Nimoy. Seen as a success the year it was released, it spawned two sequels and renewed interest in "Star Trek" as a franchise, which continues on television to this day.

That song reminds me of that special time with that special person. Music often takes us back to a moment of our life that we love to revisit. Jovial Jay and Shua share some of their favorite albums and why they love them on Enjoy Stuff. Wipe off that vinyl and sharpen that needle because it's time to spin some tunes. Let's check out some of our favorite albums. News Steve Martin Writes the Written Word Collected Written Works by Steve Martin (thanks to Jonathan) A new Kong x Godzilla Ride has been announced for a theme park far, far away. Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra have a new album and it's pretty jazzy' RIP Norm…or is it Fat Sam… or maybe just the legendary George Wendt Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua has been revisiting the funny pages with the complete collection of Berke Breathed's Bloom County. This classic comic strip was a staple of the 80's and spotlighted important political and social issues while selling stuffed penguins. Jay joined in the fun of so many Star Wars fans when he experienced Andor season 2. The storytelling is award-worthy, the performances were sensational, and it will go down as one of the best Star Wars tales of all time. And of course you should follow it up with Andor season three, also known as Rogue One. Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay is filled with Dredd. Judge Dredd that is. The 2012 film starring Karl Urban is pretty true to the original and less campy than it's 90s counterpart. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy Music! Doctor Oliver Sacks calls the psychological connection between the music and the brain “Musicophilia”. We call it a lot of fun. When you experience music at important times in your life, it tends to stick with you. And when you want to have some of those feelings again, all you need to do is put that album on again. Music is an important part of Jay's and Shua's life, and so many great memories are tied to tunes. Let's take a look at what they are and why they like them so much. And make sure to like and subscribe to Chris Collects Stuff on YouTube What albums bring up good memories for you? Why do you like them? First person that emails me with the subject line, “I've got a request” will get a special mention on the show. Let us know.

In this episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, Jason and Brian dive headfirst into the latest tech absurdities, financial scandals, and Elon Musk's ongoing chaos. We start with the annual frustration of unsubscribing from an email list that just won't quit before jumping into the latest gem from Musk himself: "Some of the things that I say will be incorrect." Meanwhile, British IT worker James Howells is back with his ongoing quest to unearth his lost Bitcoin fortune—this time with a plan to buy the entire landfill where he thinks it's buried. And despite all the corporate posturing about a return to office, remote work remains steady, much to the chagrin of commercial real estate moguls still waiting for the workforce to return.The Trump Coin debacle takes center stage, where early traders made a quick $109 million, but over 800,000 investors got wrecked to $2 billion. Adding to the dystopian financial landscape, Microsoft's latest study finds that AI reliance makes people dumber, leading to cognitive atrophy as workers place too much trust in generative AI. Meanwhile, Thomson Reuters lands a major AI copyright win in the courts, striking a blow against legal AI startups. Over at Meta, the latest round of layoffs blindsided workers supposedly meeting performance expectations, proving that job security in tech is about as stable as Musk's grasp on reality. A man in Alabama pleaded guilty to hacking the SEC's X account to falsely announce Bitcoin ETF approvals, sending crypto markets on a rollercoaster ride.On the media front, Mythic Quest Season 4 is out, and we're cautiously optimistic despite needing a breather after Season 2. The White Lotus returns, but can it survive without Stifler's mom? Meanwhile, Karl Urban's role as Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat II is a big win. Walmart's acquisition of the Dawn of the Dead mall seems hilariously on-brand, while Netflix's attempt at podcasting smells like another cost-cutting maneuver. Finally, in "good news," the odds of a newly discovered asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 are rising. At least it would mean an end to Jeep's infuriating full-screen stoplight ads.
