Need to Know Basis

(Air Date: 15-10-25) This week, the Nerd To Know Basis crew dive deep into the underworld and beyond. Kev gives a full breakdown of Hades II—why it's more than “just more Hades,” how it builds on Greek myth, and why it might be the most dangerously addictive sequel in years. Then things get neon and controversial as the panel tackles Tron: Ares. Is it a misunderstood sci-fi spectacle destined for cult status, or a flashy reboot weighed down by expectations, Jared Leto discourse, and franchise baggage? We unpack the world-building, the soundtrack, the spectacle, and why Tron always seems to arrive before audiences are ready for it. #NerdToKnowBasis,#Hades2,#TronAres,#SciFiMovies,#VideoGames,#GreekMythology,#HalloweenSeason,#CultMovies,#GamingPodcast,#FilmDiscussion,#GeekCulture,#SpookySeason,#CyberpunkVibes

We break down Wicked: For Good, discussing the risks and rewards of splitting the beloved musical in two, whether Act Two can live up to expectations, and how the film handles its darker themes. From there, it's on to Guillermo del Toro's long-awaited Frankenstein — a visually rich, emotionally grounded take on the classic monster that puts empathy and tragedy front and centre. Finally, we hit the dystopian arena with Edgar Wright's The Running Man, asking whether this slick reimagining delivers Wright's trademark energy or feels restrained by the source material. Big adaptations, iconic monsters, and modern takes on classic stories — it's a packed episode of films worth arguing about. #NerdToKnowBasis,#Podcast,#PopCulture,#Wicked,#WickedForGood,#Frankenstein,#GuillermoDelToro,#TheRunningMan,#EdgarWright,#MovieReviews,#FilmPodcast,#SciFi,#Fantasy,#GeekCulture

This week, Cian and Kev dive into the beginning of the end for Stranger Things, breaking down the first half of the final season — what works, what doesn't, and whether Netflix's last true monoculture can stick the landing. From there, Kev introduces Pluribus, the unexpected and deeply strange new sci-fi series from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, starring Rhea Seehorn — a bold creative swing that's flying under the radar. The conversation then turns sour as Amazon is caught using AI-generated English dubs for anime, sparking a wider discussion about AI, voice acting, and why this tech keeps making everything worse. A thoughtful, opinionated episode about endings, originality, and why supporting real artists matters more than ever.

This week, Kev, Cian and Darragh go from Europa Park blowing Disney out of the water and what Ireland's theme parks can learn, to Universal Studios finally eyeing the UK with Lord of the Rings, Jurassic World and more. The mood shifts as the lads unpack the brewing media apocalypse—Netflix, Paramount and Warner Bros battling it out, what it means for cinemas, streaming, and why consolidation is bad news for everyone. Plus: Doctor Who returns without the Doctor, Wicked divides stage and screen opinion, and a surprisingly heated showdown erupts over the Late Late Toy Show—national treasure or cultural embarrassment? Strap in and leave your comments below.

This week, Spooky Cian and Kev return with a Halloween-ish episode full of monsters, mayhem, and media that almost fit the season. They kick things off wondering why 2025 has felt light on horror releases, before diving into Alien: Earth, the FX series turning the franchise into corporate sci-fi chaos. Then, Kev sings the praises of Interview With the Vampire—the stunning, dramatic re-imagining of Anne Rice's classic now streaming on Netflix. And just when you think it's all fangs and fear, the guys resurrect The Simpsons to ask: Is it good again? Plus, a cozy gaming pick perfect for spooky season—Isla of Frosty Glide, a charming witchy platformer that's as Halloween-adjacent as it gets.

They unpack Nintendo's jam-packed Direct—Super Mario Galaxy movie, Hades II, Fatal Frame remake, and the looming arrival of Switch 2. The conversation shifts to the fate of PlayStation Stars, Sony's short-lived loyalty program that gamified gaming itself. Plus, Kev gets schooled on the bizarre, hilarious, and surprisingly star-studded world of The Toxic Avenger—from schlocky cult roots to a full-blown 2023 remake.

This week Cian and Darragh pit DC and Marvel's biggest 2025 releases against each other with Superman and Fantastic Four. Darragh explains why he “passionately hates Superman” and why the character only works when his humanity is tested rather than his powers. The hosts explore what makes for a good Superman story from All-Star Superman to Red Son and critique why most movie versions miss the point. On the Marvel side they celebrate the Fantastic Four's legacy as the comic that launched the Silver Age praise Jack Kirby's influence and spotlight Doctor Doom as one of the greatest villains ever created. They discuss how the team's real strength lies in their scientific minds and cosmic problem solving rather than monster brawls. The episode wraps with a question for listeners: which film will have the bigger impact and can either franchise find its lasting spark?

This week, Cian and Kev take a nostalgic (and slightly overheated) deep dive into Star Trek: Enterprise — the oft-forgotten fifth Trek series. From creative burnout after Voyager, to behind-the-scenes trivia, to how 9/11's shadow unexpectedly shaped its tone, they unpack why this prequel feels so different. Plus: gripes about streaming services, ads on paid subscriptions, and the peril of eating too much Chinese food before recording.

Garth Heckman TDAgiantSlayer@gmail.com  The David Alliance    Part 2 Consistent and persistent… but the obvious thing that makes him so easily recognized is he doesn't change his tactics… at all… well then why don't we recognize him faster… thats where we are going today.    Satan has always hated God's Word which is His truth. Satan has not changed his tactics -     -  Let us always remember the importance of worshiping God in Spirit and in Truth. Satan will  suppress the truth - his work in your life waters down Gods truth Twist truth - in the garden of eden, in the desert Hide the truth - cults, religions, the law over the spirit Deny the truth - they will know the truth but believe a lie. Human selfishness and wickedness Destroy the truth - burn bibles, change history,  Molest the truth (others twist it)  Ignore the truth - don't read your bible Disguise the truth - Who Jesus is, Who the Holy Spirit is, wether or not scripture is actually trustworthy   So how is the breakdown happen in our lives - how is it Deconstructed the truth/lie #10 Hell #9 Unfulfilled personally, potentially, problems etc…  #8 I choose not to act on the truth #7 I choose not to believe the truth #6 I am not sure what the truth is #5 I believed a lie - I lost the & the other person won.  #4 I was told a lie and it lined up with my preconceived biases  #3 I believed it as truth and it worked #2 I was enlightened by new information #1 I was seeking a solution (wether I realized it or not) - Jesus is the answer - the TRUTH     We all see the truth differently due to our back ground! For instance!   When children are sexually abused there internal trust compass get's smashed.    - Religious upbringing   -  Poor family upbringing   - Poor father figure But if truth is to  be our foundation in life, it is so important than we must have some basis in which to  guide ourselves by!   God's word washes our mind. It transforms our mind, It sensitizes our heart and soul to what is false and what is true.    his word gives us a clear understanding of what truth is and is a guide to help us compare it to what others say!  

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    What does it take to open up a combination safe? NUMBERS? - Thats knowledge 37, 21, 3   Knowledge isn't truth Truth isn't wisdom Wisdom is simply truth (not necessarily knowledge - acted on) *We used to think a tomato was a vegetable (knowledge) ***But now we know its a fruit (truth) ****Wisdom says don't put it in a fruit salad.        HERE IS A SECRET…  The truth doesn't change you…  what you believe doesn't change you… what you practice changes you. So you better practice the truth and not just knowledge.      The Truth Shall Make You Free  John 8: 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide (continue) in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” 33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free'?” 34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.   V. 31 Continue: The Greek verb "μένω"  (menó) primarily means to remain or stay in a given place, state, or relation. It conveys a sense of persistence and continuity, often implying a steadfastness or enduring presence. In the New Testament, it is frequently used to describe the believer's relationship with Christ, emphasizing a continual, abiding connection.   **what does If 1 John 1:6 say -  If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 1 John 1:6     V. 32 Set you free GK  "eleutheroó," "free" or "liberated," and פָּדָה (padah, H6299) meaning "to redeem" or "to ransom." Usage: The verb "eleutheroó" is used in the New Testament to denote the act of setting someone free or liberating them from bondage or oppression. It often carries a spiritual connotation, referring to liberation from sin, the law, or spiritual death through the work of Jesus Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of freedom was highly valued, associated with citizenship and the rights that came with it. Slavery was a common institution, and the act of freeing a slave was a significant event… especially in relation to the Exodus from Egypt, which symbolized God's deliverance of His people. The New Testament writers, particularly Paul, used this cultural understanding to explain the spiritual freedom believers have in Christ. HELPS Word-studies     How do you continue in the truth… well the most obvious way in scripture is to speak the truth.. YOu speak it It cleaned you Making your more combustible and powerful to the truth Then creating you more like Christ, more blessing, more insight, more power… By speaking the word of God. Not just reading, not just thinking, not just attending church and hearing it - but you speaking it. It might be the most underrated least used powerful tactic in a Christians walk.  The word of God coming out of your mouth is a catalyst a lightening rod for Gods work in your life. Thinking is not praying… is it meditating.. yes, but not praying -    Speaking Gods word… SO THAT IT PERMEATES OUR MINDS AND HEARTS. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness”.    John 17:17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word (that means spoken word) is truth.    John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.    John 8:45-47 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."    John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.    Ephesians 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard (someone had to speak to hear) the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,   John 15:7 if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you can ask whatever you will and it will be given unto you.    Deuteronomy 8:1… The Lord spoke to Joshua 3 ….that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.  18 “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.    Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, (not your head, not your heart, not your mind - but your mouth) but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”   Satan doesn't hate that you know the truth… he hates when you speak the truth and practice the truth.    John 1: In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God. 3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. 4 The Word gave life to everything that was created,     and his life brought light to everyone.   ***GET THIS GET THIS… THERE ARE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE THAT ARE CREATED - THEY ARE THERE - THEY ARE READY - THEY ARE SET - THEY ARE READY TO GO!!! - there CrEaTeD…  But you gotta speak life to them!
