Liam and Cal sit down to review one of the most memorable episodes of Justice League Unlimited this week and while the general plot is similar, we can promise you this is not a sequel to Freaky Friday. The episode in question is "The Great Brain Robbery" which sees Lex Luthor and The Flash swamp consciousnesses as hijinks ensues. The hosts talk about the instantly memorable plot and quotable one-liners from the leads and supporting cast, the continued Mr. Terrific shine, how Michale Rosenbaum and Clancy Brown did with impersonating one another and even a nod to the classic Green Lantern yellow weakness. Plus the hosts discuss the most memorable line from the episode and why Tala seems to be so blissfully ignorant in this episode with our question of the week. All of this and a look at next week's Elseworld's tale that links back to an episode covered earlier this month and more on this week's all new DCAU Review!Please Consider Supporting the Podcast:Become a monthly or one time supporter of the pod at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/DCAUReview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the pod on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Spotify or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and please consider leaving us a 5-star review⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our new YouTube Channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the pod by picking up some merch at our shop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dcaureview.myspreadshop.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us: Twitter/X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@DCAUReview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@DCAUReview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Final Scores:Plot: Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 10/10Visuals/Animation: Cal: 8/10 – Liam: 7/10Music: Cal: 6/10 – Liam: 6/10Voice Acting: Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 10/10Bonus Point: Cal +2 (Rosenbaum as Lex, "Because I'm Evil")Final Tally: Cal: 36/40 – Liam: 33/40

Sean, Lex, and Manny discuss the official reveal of Legion Remix, the slow start to Manaforge: Omega's Race to World First, and the wealth of content coming in the World of Warcraft.

Fresh off his drug scandal, Dana’s brother is coming to visit. Casey tells her to be nice. Dan is TOO nice when reviewing Natalie’s audition tape — until he veers unnecessarily hard the other way. Casey is failing his audition for “best friend ever” with Brian and Lex, but no matter. We’re still Sorkin’ in it together. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

In the debut episode of Inside the Lines, Richland Source sports reporter Curt Conrad and co-host Effie James sit down with Lexington senior standout Brayden Fogle, fresh off his commitment to play football at the University of Georgia. Fogle opens up about why he chose the Bulldogs, when he realized he could compete at the highest level and what his expectations are for his final season at Lex. He also talks about the changes this year’s Minutemen squad has made since last year’s slow start, plus reveals who the biggest trash talkers are in the locker room. The conversation goes deeper than the game, as Fogle reflects on how a broken wrist during last year’s playoffs pushed him to mature in the offseason. He shares the lessons he’s learned about himself, the people in his corner who have shaped his journey and what makes this year’s team different from seasons past. It’s an inside look at one of the area’s top athletes as he heads into a pivotal year — both on and off the field. This episode is brought to you by Graham Auto Mall.

She did everything right.  She kept the records. Filed the reports. Changed her routines. But none of it mattered. Because the man tormenting her stayed just outside the rules.  A case where psychological terror was real, constant, and intentional-  and yet, legally invisible. In episode 364, Jac and Lex unravel how stalking can become a form of slow-motion violence. How the system waits for blood before it acts. And how, sometimes, the most dangerous threats are the ones hiding in plain sight, waiting, watching, and never quite crossing the line.

In this episode we recap our slew of shows we have had in the past couple of weeks and tell a funny story of our son Lex not wanting to miss his mark. We also talk about our new theme song/songs that we absolutely love & much more. wesiseli.com Patreon.com/wes_iseli

“You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.” - It's a solo mission this week as Ian takes the lead in our 291st episode, descending through dreamscapes, spinning tops, and subconscious heists in Christopher Nolan's mind-bending Inception (2010). Liam, Megs, Kev, and Georgia? They're all trapped in deeper dream layers, and Ian's holding Level 1 until someone figures out how to kick them back to reality. We're trading banana peels and baseball anthems for snow fortresses and Paris folding in on itself as we discuss: Why Inception still stands as one of Nolan's most ambitious films—and whether the world has caught up to its complexity. Nolan is a genius of narrative construction, but are there times where genius needs governance to ensure the story remains accessible for the masses? Why do the subsequent dream layers respect the science required to access the first dream—and why do they stack so neatly when logic suggests they shouldn't? How Inception violates the golden rule of introducing a “superpower” (in this case, a key ability) and then never using it again for the rest of the movie. The art of lucid dreaming, and how being alone this week means Ian can finally reveal what his recurring dream looks like (spoiler: it involves movie theatres). Which dream layer steals the show—and which feels like the bathroom break level. The ongoing debate: does the ending mean something definitive, or is that missing the point? Why Inception works as both a blockbuster and an intimate story about loss, guilt, and letting go. How Hans Zimmer's score became a cultural event—and why the “BRAAAM” sound is still echoing through cinema today. And finally, whether Inception is the Best Film Ever—or just a beautiful puzzle box we'll keep spinning forever. Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

Lex chats with Matthew Le Merle - CEO of Blockchain Coinvestors, a leading blockchain and AI fund-of-funds. He reflects on the limitations of large institutions in adopting disruptive technologies and why he chose to back innovators over incumbents, using stablecoins as an example of asymmetric value creation. Le Merle explains his evolution from angel investor to institutional LP, highlighting the benefits of leveraging top-tier venture capitalists' expertise in inefficient early-stage markets. He outlines the psychological challenges of venture investing, where failures appear early and outsized wins often take a decade, contrasting this with the faster liquidity but higher existential risk in token markets. Finally, he critiques institutional allocators for over-relying on efficient markets, under-allocating to venture despite its role in driving future value, and positions his strategy as fully committed to early-stage blockchain and AI as the highest-returning segments. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:1. Innovation Threatens Incumbents, Benefits Disruptors: Major technological shifts, from the internet to blockchain and AI, create winners and losers. Incumbents often resist disruptive change because it threatens existing revenue models, while nimble startups and tech-first companies can rapidly capture new market opportunities.2. Venture Success Requires Navigating High Failure Rates: In early-stage investing, most portfolio companies will fail, often within the first 3–4 years. Returns are driven by a small number of outsized successes, usually via acquisitions rather than IPOs, requiring patience, resilience, and a disciplined investment strategy.3. Inefficient Markets Offer the Greatest Asymmetric Upside: Early-stage venture and emerging technologies like blockchain and AI are inefficient markets where superior access, insight, and execution can generate returns far above those available in traditional, efficient markets like public equities or bonds. TOPICSBlockchain Coinvestors, Band of Angels, AngelList, Blockchain Capital, Pantera, Sequoia, Andreessen, BlackRock, Fidelity, Blockchain, DeFi, Decentralized Finance, Investment, Venture Capital, Angel Investment, Fund of Funds ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

It's time for the Ricks' official (and highly-spoilerific) review of one of the summer's biggest movies: James Gunn's Superman. From backstories to propaganda-posting monkey bots, and from half-baked controversies to crappy character haircuts (looking at you, Green Lantern), the Ricks give you the lowdown on the latest incarnation of everyone's favorite Kryptonian. IN THIS EPISODE

We have come back from space and landed the Waverider in Metropolis. Lex is in his power armor and fighting off Hawkgirl and Superman. His armor is damaged, and he retreats to Luthor Corp. There he finds Mercy Graves, his former driver and bodyguard. She has taken Luthor Corp to new success and has no desire to help Lex.  And so he searches out his former Luthor Corp top scientist, Professor Ivo. But to his dismay, he finds Ivo dead in his bed. Thinking he's at a loss for help, Ivo's last creation appears, and it's Amazo, an ever evolving android. Lex finds he is a blank slate (Tabula Rasa) and manipulates him to help. Amazo does Lex's dirty work getting supplies for his armor and taking on the Justice League.  He can copy the powers and abilities of anyone he meets. The League divides up, seeking out info from Ivo's notes, seeking Amazo, and J'onn is doing a mind sweep to find Lex, but opening his powers up to the whole city overwhelms him. J'onn mentally hears all the bad things about humans and is disturbed and runs to the forest outside the city for peace. The League attacks Amazo and is getting beat down. J'onn realizes that his power will help Amazo see the true intentions of the League and Lex when he copies his mental abilities. Amazo hears Lex's mind and sees he's been lied to and manipulated. Lex doesn't like where this is going, and uses Ivo's failsafe and blows off Amazo's head. But Amazo adapts and survives. He flees to the stars and Lex ends up in jail.   Contact Information: If you want to join in the discussion, you can submit feedback via email to TomorrowsLegendsPodcast@gmail.com or at at https://www.speakpipe.com/TomorrowsLegends .

This week on Pour Minds, we’re sitting down with the one and only Ciara. From Grammy-winning artist to mother of four, Ciara pulled up and kept it all the way real. We got into motherhood, marriage, legacy, leveling up—and how to hold on to your peace while walking in your purpose. Lex and Drea ask the questions we all wanted to know: How do you stay soft while being a boss? What does healthy submission really look like? And is “the prayer” just a viral meme… or the real secret to love? Ciara opens up about her skincare brand OAM Skin, her rum partnership with Ten to One, and what it means to gain dual citizenship in Benin, West Africa. She also gives us the inside scoop on her upcoming album CiCi, and drops gems on building a legacy through family, faith, and business. By the end of the episode, Lex is two drinks in, Drea’s dropping gems on dating with intention, and we’re all manifesting a man who won’t let us walk down the stairs alone.

Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg discuss the inherent potential, along with the limitations, of the Jewish holiday of Tisha B'av (the 9th of Av) — understood by many to be the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. What does it mean to mourn a past pain in the present? In this week's episode, Dan and Lex consider the meanings of grief and reflection as the month of Av progresses and we move towards the month of introspection, Elul.------------------------Tisha B'av punctuates the end of the Jewish calendar with a bright, momentary grief. Soon after comes the month of Elul, often thought of as the on-ramp to the contemplations and reflections asked of us during the High Holiday period. Interested in thinking about how to reframe and reinvigorate your meditations on the cycles of grief and change? Sign up for Elul Unbound 2025 to receive biweekly wisdom and introspective prompts to guide you through the late summer days.Access full shownotes for this episode via this link.

“Welcome to Costco. I love you.” Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian & Liam – with BFF of the BFE: Synthia beaming in from the not-so-distant future as we crack open the absurd, prophetic, and depressingly accurate Idiocracy (2006). We're trading shark-infested waters for Gatorade-irrigated crops and President Camacho in our 289th episode as we ask: Was Idiocracy always this smart, or has the world just gotten that dumb? We explore how a film that bombed at release has somehow become the most referenced dystopia not named Orwell. What does it say about society that Mike Judge's lowbrow future doesn't seem that far off? Synthia breaks down the subtle and not-so-subtle satire—and why this film still hits different in a post-algorithm world. Ian wonders whether the comedy lands… or whether it's just too bleak to laugh anymore. Liam confesses which part of the film made him physically cringe (hint: it's not just the opening montage). We talk about the difference between satire and smugness, and where Idiocracy walks that tightrope. Is the film's central conceit plausible… or offensively oversimplified? With the film's conceit being that everyone is stupid, are we allowed to get frustrated with the tone for being too stupid? Why Terry Crews as President Camacho might be the most pitch-perfect casting choice in a dystopian comedy ever. What modern products or trends Idiocracy weirdly predicted (we're looking at you, reality TV and clickbait). And finally, whether Idiocracy is the Best Film Ever—or just the most important film people still haven't seen. Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

We all have parts of ourselves we keep hidden… whether it's out of fear, shame, or just survival. This week, Carlie & Lex open up about the parts of themselves they've tucked away, why we do this, and how bringing those parts to light can actually lead to deeper self-acceptance, connection and peace.

This week on Pour Minds, we’re signing a peace treaty… but don’t get it twisted. This episode is all about clapping back vs. choosing calm, and navigating this wild digital world without losing your mind (or your account). Lex and Drea are joined by the hilarious KevOnStage, and it’s a laugh-packed sit-down full of real talk about internet beef, long booties, and why confidence will always win—even when the crack’s out. We’re getting into cancel culture, content creation fatigue, and why Kev still posts even when Twitter tries to cook him. We’re breaking down internet drama, creator burnout, and how Kev keeps showing up online even when the timeline turns toxic. Lex admits she’s been on her rebrand journey, and Drea gets real about why keeping it cute sometimes takes more strength than clapping back. and Kev keeps it all the way real about body image, filler rumors, and why he’ll never get a fake hairline (even if it rains). By the end, we’ve dragged cookies, praised dad bods, and reminded everybody: you can be petty and peaceful… just not on the same day.

The returning Manny joins Lex and Sean in conversation about the continuing hotfixes even as builds are flagged as launch candidates. The trio also cover internal builds detected for both 11.2.5 and 11.2.7, and the latest victim of RNG: the delve trinket vendor.

Lex chats with Harish Natarajan - Practice Manager, Financial Inclusion and Infrastructure, Finance, Competitiveness & Innovation at the World Bank, and Carlos Brandt - The Senior Advisor for Pix at the Central Bank of Brazil. Together they discuss the remarkable success of Pix, Brazil's real-time payment system, which now sees over 6 billion transactions per month and is used by more than 90% of the adult population and 80% of companies. Lex explores how Pix was created by the Central Bank of Brazil with strong public-private collaboration, backed by regulatory authority and supported by a co-creation model with stakeholders. Key to its adoption were a low-cost centralized infrastructure, clear branding, mandatory participation by large banks, and a robust national communication strategy. Globally, Pix is seen as a leading example of fast payment system deployment, driven by the central bank acting as a neutral coordinator and scheme owner. Lex also examines the technical architecture, built in-house by a surprisingly small team of 55–65 people, and how scalable infrastructure and extensibility have enabled rapid growth and innovation. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS: 1. Pix achieved mass adoption through public-private co-creation and legal mandate:Pix now processes over 6 billion transactions per month, with 90% of Brazil's adult population and 80% of businesses actively using it. Its success stems from a strategic legal mandate in 2013 granting the Central Bank regulatory and operational authority over retail payments. The Central Bank then led a co-creation process involving both public and private stakeholders through the Pix Forum, fostering alignment, inclusivity, and strong network effects.2. A lean but powerful team built a nation-scale real-time payments system:The Pix infrastructure was built entirely in-house by a relatively small team, 30-40 people for the technical infrastructure layer and around 25 for the payment scheme layer. It operates 24/7 with real-time settlement and uses centralized infrastructure separate from Brazil's traditional large-value payment rails. This centralized, purpose-built architecture dramatically lowered costs and enabled rapid rollout.3. Strategic communication and mandated participation drove adoption at scale:The Central Bank led a national communication campaign to build trust, establish a strong brand identity, and educate the public. Simultaneously, it mandated major banks (with over 500,000 active accounts) to join Pix, triggering widespread voluntary adoption from smaller PSPs. The rollout included a restricted pilot phase and emphasized user-friendly features like QR codes and aliases to boost convenience and usage from day one. TOPICS Pix, Central Bank of Brazil, World Bank, Visa, Citibank, M-Pesa, Alipay, SPI, fintech, payments, PSP, API, Fast Payments, Payments Infrastructure, PayTech ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

In the spring of 2006, 27-year-old Ohio State medical student Brian Shaffer walked into a popular Columbus bar called the Ugly Tuna Saloona, and was never seen again. Surveillance footage captured him entering the bar around 1:55 a.m., but he never appeared on camera leaving. No signs of a struggle. No phone activity. No trace. Nearly two decades later, Brian's disappearance remains one of the most haunting and confounding cold cases in modern true crime history. In episode 361, Jac and Lex unravel the night Brian disappeared, the theories that won't die, and the question that haunts everyone who's ever heard his story: how does someone vanish into thin air?

This week on Pour Minds, we’re talking ambition, fake love, and why chasing success will have you smiling in rooms you lowkey can’t stand. Lex and Drea are back on the couch asking the real questions: how far are you willing to go to level up, and is it really fake… or just good business? We got into working with people you don’t like, out-hustling your coworkers, and knowing when to clap for others vs. when to move around. Lex shares how she used to snatch tables mid-shift, Drea breaks down her rules for “strategic faking,” and both of them admit they’ve been hatin’ for no reason. By the end of the episode, somebody’s manifesting a cypher verse, the tequila tastes like water, and we’re all agreeing: if you ain’t greeted that table in two minutes, it’s mine now.

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, Kiki and Medinah are back with an unfiltered episode packed with laughs, life updates, and a whole lot of delusion. Medinah nearly faints at Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour (spoiler: Bey saw her!), then shares a prison baby story so wild it has us all confused. Plus, she opens up about a surprise date with her old high school crush. Kiki shares what it meant to help Lex buy her first home and finally be taken seriously in her real estate career. We talk vaginal health, bounce-back bodies, dating while healing, and listener advice on vacation hookups. Pour a Delulu Cowgirl and tune in, because this one is a ride.

Dan Shipper is the co-founder and CEO of Every. With just 15 people, Every publishes a daily AI newsletter, ships multiple AI products, and operates a million-dollar-a-year consulting arm—all while their engineers write virtually zero code. It's the most radical example of AI-first operations, and Dan is a prolific writer who has become a leading voice on how AI is transforming the way we build and work.Learn:1. Why Dan thinks AI won't steal jobs en masse—and may actually reshore many jobs to the U.S.2. The most underrated AI tool for non-programmers3. An inside look at Every's AI-first workflow4. Why every company needs an “AI operations lead”5. How Dan's team uses an arsenal of AI agents (Claude, Codex, “Friday,” “Charlie”) in parallel, treating each AI like a specialist with unique strengths6. Why generalists will thrive in an AI-first world, as rigid job titles blur and everyone becomes a “manager” of AI tools7.

This week on Pour Minds, we got the homies from Crash Dummies on the couch—and it got real. From arguing about whether men and women can really be “just friends,” to who’s actually the prize in a relationship, this one got heated.Lex and Drea were not letting up, and Pat and Mike brought that wild Midwest energy. We talked dating rules, emotional maturity, and the difference between a vibe and a red flag.By the end of the episode, somehow we’re all going to a Bucks game and bottles will be involved. Milwaukee, we might be on the way. Subscribe to our Patreon: / pourmindsSHOP POUR MINDS: https://www.pourminds.comWant to book us?
