Even when a season ends, no one Cinema To The Letter episode is ever really gone.

Independent analyst and Gold, Goats, and Guns host Tom Luongo joins the show to explain why he's left orthodox libertarianism behind and adopted a framework built around the City of London, the Federal Reserve, and Donald Trump's geopolitical strategy. The conversation ranges from Jerome Powell's rate hikes to Iran's nuclear ambitions, the Strait of Hormuz, Bitcoin's murky origins, and why Tom thinks most libertarian commentary misses the real centers of power entirely. Tom traces his intellectual break from the Ron Paul/Mises Institute wing of libertarianism back to the post-COVID Fed tightening cycle, arguing that the "coup" against Trump and Powell in 2020–21 mirrors a much older pattern of financial power rooted in London rather than Washington. He recounts a heated confrontation at the Mises Institute where he was cut off mid-speech for suggesting the movement update its models, and uses that story to argue libertarians are prone to the same "purity spiraling" as Bitcoin maximalists or gold bugs. From there, the discussion turns to Trump's Iran policy — framing it as less about Israel and more about dismantling chokepoints, energy dominance, and the offshore dollar system tied to the British Empire's financial remnants. Tom also lays out a theory connecting Bitcoin's DARPA origins to a broader strategy of building a new economic order outside the old London-centered system, and closes by tying Trump's moves in Venezuela and the Middle East to a long-term plan to leave the world harder to drag back into the old status quo.

What happens to a friendship and a podcast over ten years and four hundred episodes? On this milestone episode, Matthew sits down with longtime guest Paul Christopher Hoppe, poker professional and author of ZenMadman's Friday Night Is My Monday Morning Volume 1, to talk about what has changed since Superhero Ethics started in 2016 as a media project that doubled as a mental health lifeline.They get into how internet discourse has curdled, why "nuance" became a weapon instead of a virtue, and how right wing outrage around movies like The Last Jedi and Supergirl made honest criticism so difficult. Matthew and Paul also test whether arguing about values is ever worth it, versus arguing about methods with people who already share them, and float a brand new project built around poker, variance, and statistics. Is superhero media still the right lens for any of this?Full show notes and resourcesConnect with Paul Hoppe: Website**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Supergirl marketing has hit another snag. DC Comics had to pull down a collector print because it contained artwork of an alien from Star Wars -- specifically The Last Jedi.

It's 2017, and it's time for space wizards and award-winning amphibian erotica! Guillermo Del Toro made a Creature From the Black Lagoon slashfic so beautifully realized it ends up winning Best Picture. Marginalized people in the 60s stand up to the US patriarchy to save a possible fish god, a fish god one mute outsider finds extra compelling. Then it's box office time, which means it's time for the most relaxing thing you can do on the internet... talk about The Last Jedi. Kevin Weir returns to help dissect what works about Rian Johnson's attempt to expand the idea of Star Wars, along with some issues, Erin finally gets her casino planet, Dan reassesses Rise of Skywalker, Claire loves a Porg, and Dan and Kevin share some probably entirely rational rank ordering of Star Wars.

"HIGHER, FURTHER, FASTER, BABY!" As Phase 3 reached its crescendo in 2019, only one piece of the puzzle remained. That being the introduction of Captain Marvel herself, Carol Danvers. Many were excited for her film when it was announced, but as the current culture war as we know it began to take shape after The Last Jedi, her film became the bedrock of extrapolated ragebait and grifting, with Brie Larson herself taking the brunt of it. The film released to general critical success and grossed well over a billion, but how does it hold up today? Come join Brian, Alec, Darby, Trey, and special guest Helena (@SpiderKnightART) as they continue Phase 3 of the MCUathon with CAPTAIN MARVEL!
The ForceCast is BACK!!!This week, Ryan and Brad open up the notebook and give their first in-depth review of Mando and Grogu. The guys get through about half of the movie and hold until next week.Then, Ryan and his wife Kate drive out to Burger King to try the movie tie-in menu.
In this episode of the Church Planter Podcast, Peyton Jones and Pete Mitchell are joined by Luke Mitchell for a special pop-culture episode on The Mandalorian and Grogu.After seven years without a Star Wars movie in theaters, they break down what worked, what didn't, and whether this film helped bring Star Wars back. From Mando's upgraded fighting skills to Grogu's loyalty, puppet effects, deep-cut Easter eggs, and the long shadow of The Last Jedi, this conversation is full of honest reactions, ridiculous banter, and plenty of Star Wars nerding out.If you love Star Wars, church planter humor, or just want to hear Peyton and Pete argue about huts, puppets, and whether Grogu is better than CGI, this one is for you.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode: Simplify Church: simplifychurch.com NewBreed TrainingThanks for listening to the Church Planter Podcast.

¡Este episodio fue un error! Trajimos a dos personas con opiniones muy malas sobre la franquicia. Y estuvo increíble.Nos sentamos con Carlos y Rana a desmenuzar todo lo que divide al fandom de la saga.Hablamos sobre si Grogu arruinó la serie o la salvó, si The Last Jedi es una obra maestra o una traición a Luke, por qué las secuelas son un crimen que todavía nos duelen y si las precuelas realmente merecen nuestro amor. Pero sobre todo la gran pregunta: ¿ya está muerta la franquicia o apenas está empezando?Spoiler: nadie se puso de acuerdo en nada. Y eso lo hizo mejor.

Matt goes on his weekly rant against "The Last Jedi" on May 5th which is commonly referred to as "Revenge of the Sith".
The dead speak! Having decimated the once peaceful STAR WARS fandom, the SEQUEL TRILOGY caused Baconsale to largely avoid talking about the whole franchise as of late. However, a sinister format has risen from the ashes of the podcast, and now Joel, Kent, and Zack must defend these three MOVIES, with only a few rant breaks to REALLY release pressure. We'll force ourselves to be positive as we quote George Lucas, discuss questionable plot points, and learn why Zack should be a screenwriter. In the end, we may even convince ourselves that The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and Rise of Skywalker don't STINK. Maybe…. They fly now, so press play.
HAPPY STAR WARS DAY and MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU! Our coverage continues of the Marvel Star Wars comics published between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi! In this episode, Rob Kelly joins The Irredeemable Shag to dive into Marvel STAR WARS #49 (July 1981), written by Mike W. Barr with art by Walt Simonson and Tom Palmer. Titled “The Last Jedi,” this issue marks the beginning of Simonson and Palmer's legendary run, featuring a story about a lost prince and the Rebellion's desperate mission to restore him to his throne.

The Mandalorian and Grogu keeps getting pummeled by the 'friendly' media. Sites like Kotaku, Polygon and Gizmodo are saying the upcoming Star Wars movie looks bland AF and like a cheap Netflix streaming series. And these are the same outlets that loved The Last Jedi and attacked anyone who didn't as a chud. Uh oh... Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.

ForceCast+ is BACK!!This week, Ryan and Brad are back and discussing Maul Shadow Lord and the 1st four chapters!
We knew only one thing going into this film: Pam Anderson. With some exciting casting, an actual plot and plenty of action we were pleased to be unexpectedly pleased.

In pop culture, "last" often just means "for now." In intellectual property law, it means something much more concrete. In this episode of IP Goes Pop®, Michael Snyder and Joseph Gushue explore what "last" really means across film, TV, music, and IP law. From The Last Samurai and The Last Jedi to Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Last of Us, "last" builds emotion, but rarely signals the end. In IP law, it does. The hosts explain how rights expire, can be lost early, become generic, or change by statute. Featuring examples like Alexander Graham Bell's telephone patent and It's a Wonderful Life, this episode breaks down why IP rights don't last forever, and why that matters.

Prepare for a chat about the most polarizing chapter of the sequel trilogy with the Star Wars Escape Pod's "Bogan's Advocate" session for The Last Jedi. In this episode, the crew tackles the subversion of expectations head-on, from the startling introduction of a disillusioned Luke Skywalker to the "no-twist" revelation of Rey's parentage. While the crew marvels at the film's top-tier cinematography and striking use of red in the Snoke's throne room duel, they don't hold back on the pacing issues of some Canto Bight events or the introduction of new Force powers. It's a balanced, high-energy discussion that explores whether Rian Johnson's creative risks paid off or pushed the franchise too far off the predictable path. Don't forget about the ending of our podcast as we close out with the wacky wildest chapter of Anakins lost diary we've ever seen!

The ForceCast is BACK!!This week, Ryan and Brad discuss Mando and Grogu covering Empire Magazine and then discuss the article attached and what the key takeaways were.
Ever wondered what it's like to fly 17+ hours straight? Matt Drinkwater comes to share his experience with Qantas on the near-Kangaroo route to Perth (we talk the past and present of that route), and more, onto Brisbane. Matt and Paul share a deep bond with Japan, and discuss the beauty, and quirkiness, of flying within Japan, from small airports, to the smell of Kansai International (yes, airports have a smell!). Qsuite to Bali, it doesn't get much better than this (especially with that chocolate ganache). There's a certain allure in epic journeys, a remnant of our forefathers' explorations, this also requires you to get lost, something that Japan or China still offer (don't resist, do let go). Do you research the food you'll have on-board? Matt does (that salt and pepper squid at the Heathrow Qantas lounge!). Can one love British Airways in 2026? Matt does, and makes a great case why it stays relevant, in spite of its IT woes (but, do you smash into people at Heathrow?!). When technology meets emotion (Star Wars, anyone?), and when it doesn't (that gimmicky hologram… IYKYK). The same goes with crew uniforms, and Matt works in fashion (also, American Airlines, please watch Forks, the episode of The Bear). The global tensions, jet fuel woes, and the inflation of air travel fares in the very near future (a sensitive topic …and book that trip now!).

Is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms the sleeper hit of the Game of Thrones universe? In this full A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms spoiler review, the SuperHero Homies break down everything from the tonal shift in the Westeros saga to the chemistry between Dunk and Egg, the action choreography, the comedy, and whether the shorter episode count helps or hurts the series. Main Review begins at 20:00 We dive deep into: How A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compares to Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon The refreshing tone shift in the GoT universe The shorter 6-episode season and condensed runtime Action choreography and grounded swordplay The humor and lighter fantasy elements The incredible chemistry between the two lead actors Minor gripes and overall season rating If you're a fan of Game of Thrones lore, HBO fantasy series, George R.R. Martin adaptations, House of the Dragon discussions, and spoiler-filled TV reviews, this episode is for you. But before we ride into Westeros… We open with a passionate discussion on why The Last Jedi might be the worst Disney-produced Star Wars film. Yes. We said it. Expect bold takes, Star Wars debate, and full nerd-energy analysis. We also talk about the possibility of Caleb McLaughlin playing Miles Morales in a future Spider-Man movie and why that casting could absolutely work in the MCU or Sony Spider-Verse. And we show love to AJ Styles heading into the WWE Hall of Fame, debating who should induct him. Samoa Joe? Kurt Angle? John Cena? Wrestling fans, this one's for you.

The ForceCast is BACK!!This week, Ryan and Brad discuss the new trailer for Mando and Grogu.They end the show discussing a new article about Disney and their new era of leadership.
We conclude our Star Wars season with 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, J.J. Abrams' second stab at the franchise having kicked off the sequel trilogy with The Force Awakens 4 years prior.Where the latter was an exercise in replaying familiar hits, Episode IX was all about course correction after the split fan reaction to The Last Jedi. Kylo Ren has his mask back, force ghost Luke likes his light sabre again and Palpatine is back. Somehow.But is the magic back? Contrary to Luke's declaration in The Last Jedi, I'm afraid this one is going to go the way you think.Join the Redshirt Cinema Club!

The ForceCast is BACK!!This week, Ryan and Brad discuss the Super Bowl Spot for The Mandalorian and Grogu and if it helped or hurt the campaign to get people to see this movie.Then, the guys revisit Solo A Star Wars Story and see if there are any similarities to Mando and Grogu. They travel back to 2018 to revisit the build up and release.
We here at the NHC are BIG fans of The Last Jedi - but we know that it's a pretty polarizing film within the Star Wars fanbase. It got us thinking... are there any changes we would suggest in order to make the movie more palatable - or even downright enjoyable! - for the haters?
In this episode of SuperHero Homies!, we rank every live-action Star Wars movie and TV series released under Disney from worst to best. That means all 13 projects — including The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker, Rogue One, Solo, The Mandalorian, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, The Acolyte, and Skeleton Crew — enter the arena. Yes, even Skeleton Crew gets its day in court. Is Andor still the prestige king of Disney Star Wars? Did The Mandalorian redefine the franchise? Has time been kind to the Sequel Trilogy? Where does Ahsoka land? And does Skeleton Crew surprise us or drift into hyperspace obscurity? We debate, we defend, and we reshuffle the galaxy one ranking at a time. Before we jump to hyperspace, our cold open dives into the latest rumors surrounding Spider-Man: Brand New Day, including possible appearances from Tombstone, Jean Grey, and Man-Spider. We also theorize about the X-Men's potential role in Avengers: Doomsday and what incursions could mean for the MCU moving forward. If you love Star Wars rankings, MCU theories, Marvel and DC discussions, comic book commentary, superhero movie reviews, and pop culture debates, this episode is built for you. Whether you're loyal to the light side, flirting with the dark side, or just here for the chaos, we've got you covered. SuperHero Homies is your home for superhero and sci-fi commentary, nerd culture analysis, comic book discussions, and movie & TV reviews. Want to support the show?

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 176 - Chris Lowe - Production Designer In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with production designer Chris Lowe (BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE, THE LAST JEDI, IN BRUGES). We worked with Chris on SKYFALL, and we had a great time catching up with him. In addition to production design, Chris has had a long career as an art director, and he helps us understand how the two positions work together on any given project and what each one's responsibilities are. Throughout the episode, Chris also shares his strategies for communicating with directors and producers, creatively adapting to shifting budgets, and delegating duties to members of the art department. We also reflect on why and how the Shanghai skyscraper scene in SKYFALL pivoted from a location to a set, and Chris shares an episode of creative problem solving from THE LAST JEDI involving the Millennium Flacon, Yoda, and a tree. Plus, Chris reveals how he built Bangkok in Prague during the COVID-19 pandemic for THE GRAY MAN. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure
