“This gun says you live, this gun says you die.”  Join Ian & Liam for our 295th episode as we step into Tarantino's world of money drops, double-crosses, and smooth soul soundtracks with Jackie Brown (1997). Kev? He's running a cash pickup at the mall but got distracted by an Orange Julius. Megs? She's busy cutting a deal with Ordell Robbie that may or may not involve a new handbag. But don't worry—we're not flying solo. We're joined by BFF of the BFE: Shai Bergerfroind, who slipped us a cassette tape of Delfonics tunes and insisted this was the Tarantino film to talk about. This week we discuss: How Jackie Brown might be Tarantino's most mature film—and why it doesn't get the same love as Pulp Fiction. Pam Grier's powerhouse performance: is this one of the greatest star comebacks in cinema history? Robert De Niro as the quietest ex-con ever—and how a single scene changes everything. Samuel L. Jackson's Ordell: terrifying or hilarious, or both at once? Is this the most “realistic” Tarantino film? And does that make it better or just slower? Ian and Liam debate whether this film is about survival, romance, or just getting by. Shai drops in to explain why the soundtrack is the real star of the film (and why he's been humming Delfonics all week). Which scenes had us holding our breath—and which ones could've been trimmed. Why Max Cherry might be Tarantino's most underrated character—and how Robert Forster's quiet dignity steals the show. And finally, whether Jackie Brown is the Best Film Ever—or just the coolest hangout movie you forgot you loved. Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

SupermanSuperman's Box Office Triumph & DCU UpdatesThe DC Universe is taking shape, and it all starts with Superman. The film has officially crossed $614 million worldwide, with $353M domestic (57.5%) and $260M international (42.5%). James Gunn has called the movie's success the “biggest relief of his life” because if it hadn't worked, the future of the entire DCU slate—from Supergirl to Lanterns—would have been in jeopardy.Superman Box Office UpdateDomestic box office: $353,302,360International box office: $260,800,000Worldwide total: $614,102,360This breakdown shows how crucial U.S. audiences remain for superhero films, even as international numbers grow.Variety and Deadline Report on Superman Profit MarginSuperman has an 8-week profit margin of about $125 million.It is the seventh-highest grossing film of the year.By comparison Man of Steel's profit margin was $42.7 million.We explain why domestic is still more profitable to studios than international.Gunn Relieved by Superman SuccessJames Gunn admitted that Superman's success was critical for DC Studios:“If Superman didn't work, I'm the head of DC Studios! What am I gonna do now? We have Supergirl, Peacemaker Season 2, Lanterns, Clayface—they're all connected to this!”PeacemakerSuperman's Visit to the Peacemaker SetA behind-the-scenes photo dated July 23, 2024 sparked speculation. David Corenswet appeared on the Peacemaker set in full Superman costume while James Gunn was splitting directing duties between Superman and Peacemaker Season 2. Fans believe this signals a direct connection between the two projects, with Superman potentially playing a meaningful role in Peacemaker Season 2. We disagree somewhat.How Would Fleury See Hawkgirl?Fans asked James Gunn online what Fleury might think of Hawkgirl. His playful response:“I think he'd wonder what's wrong with her head and wouldn't really know.”Yes the Grammar Fuck Up Was IntentionalJames Gunn confirmed that the infamous “Your the best” typo was intentional, sparking fan discussion. He also joked about Harcourt's “Thirstcourt” side in her texts, keeping his trademark banter alive.ClayfaceClayface – Gotham City Map Easter EggsA leaked Gotham City Transit Authority map revealed nods to Batman lore: Arkham Asylum, Ace Chemical, the Iceberg Lounge, Blackgate Penitentiary, Gotham Knights sporting complex, Wayne-owned buildings, Kane Estate, and Kane Memorial Bridge. Fans debated similarities to real-world Manhattan maps (like Hell's Kitchen).Man of Tomorrow – Superman Sequel AnnouncedJames Gunn confirmed Man of Tomorrow hits theaters July 9, 2027, almost exactly two years after Superman. Gunn clarified:It's not titled Superman 2, just Man of Tomorrow.The film will explore Superman and Lex Luthor's relationship, with Nicholas Hoult's Luthor donning the green-and-purple Warsuit.Speculation: Possible villains may be Bizarro, Brainiac, or Zod.Gunn emphasized his collaborative writing process and ongoing rewrites.People Responding to James GunnThe Man of Tomorrow announcement drew reactions from DC stars and creators:Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl): “See You Soooon”Aaron Pierre (John Stewart): “Yes, Indeed!”

James Gunn's Superman: Man of Tomorrow is starting to take shape, and we're breaking down what we DO and DON'T know about the highly anticipated DCU film. From the confirmed script and locked 2027 release date to the official lineup of Superman, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor, we cover all the facts straight from Gunn. We also explore the major rumors, including Superman teaming up with Lex to take on Brainiac, the possible connection to Peacemaker Season 2, and theories about what the title “Man of Tomorrow” really means — whether it points to Conner Kent, Lois's pregnancy, or something bigger.Will Gunn deliver Brainiac on the big screen? And just how important is Lois Lane to this new Superman saga?

What happens when Superman gets pushed too far and Flash dies?  The Justice League becomes the Justice Lords.  In an alternate reality, Flash dies and Lex pushes Superman over the edge. The heroes of Earth militarize the Watchtower and put the world on lockdown. They are ruling for the “good” of humanity but are figures of fear and hatred. When their Batman discovers our world, he builds a portal to it. They see our League and know they will have to come with deceit. They ask for help and our heroes come to help. But they end up trapped in power dampening cells. The Lords come to our Earth and start to make it like theirs.  Superman and the Lords take on Doomsday. Superman lobotomizes him. Things don't look good for our world. But Flash figures out he can fool their Batman and it works. He frees the League and the League goes to find their Hawkgirl, who has been injured.  Batman & Batman fight it out. In the end, our Batman convinces the other one the error of their ways. The League escapes to their Earth. Superman must compromise and work with Lex to stop the Lords.  Lex depowers them all. In return receives a full pardon.    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 .

When we first covered the disappearance of 39-year-old mother of four, Nikki Cheng Saelee McCain, in episode 330,  her case was still classified as a missing persons investigation. Months later, everything has changed. Authorities have reclassified the case as a homicide, Nikki's husband Tyler has spoken publicly for the first time, and now he's been arrested and charged with her murder. In this update episode, Jac and Lex revisit Nikki's story, track the dramatic turns since March, and explore how media attention and relentless advocacy from Nikki's family have kept the case alive, and helped push it forward.

“Sometimes your battles choose you.” Join Ian, Liam & Kevdog, alongside BFF of the BFE: Hermes Auslander, for our 294th episode as we head into the Rust Belt for gritty drama, family duty, and some Woody Harrelson menace with Out of the Furnace (2013). Megs? She's away this week on a last-minute trip to Sweden after answering a classified ad for ABBA's long-lost fifth member—working title: Mamma Mia 3: Megs Strikes Again. This week we discuss: It's a Hermes pick, so you know what that means—another therapy session on the pod. Find out when each of us stopped supporting Woody Harrelson (and for one of us, it's much later than you'd think). What's the difference between simply stating your opinion and actively trying to sway someone else's opinion? Someone forgets how time zones work in this one (and no, it's not just Hermes). What's the real measure of being a man: flashy success or the daily grind of quietly providing for your family? Is Zoe Saldana a much better actress than we gave her credit for—and is this her most underrated performance? Which scene impressed Ian the most with its cinematography—even though it was one of the hardest to watch. What exactly was going on with Willem Dafoe's character—and why can none of us pronounce the name correctly? What is the definition of working a double shift, and why do we all seem to have different answers? And finally, whether Out of the Furnace is the Best Film Ever—or just a quietly powerful entry in the blue-collar tragedy canon.

This week on Our Taste is Trash, our hosts, Josh and Jade, discuss Elizabeth Banks has she is set to play Karen Read in a Prime Video limited series based on the true-crime frenzy around Read's June 2025 acquittal for the death of her Boston cop boyfriend. Next up, the hosts break down the SNL cast shakeup as Devon Walker, Emil Wakim, Michael Longfellow, and veteran Heidi Gardner leave the show. Then, in Weekly Watches:Peacemaker Season 2 (HBO Max, premiered Aug 21): James Gunn's follow‑up to The Suicide Squad continues in his newly rebooted DC Universe. Critics say it's darker, heavier, more emotional than Season 1—with Cena delivering, a tragic multiverse twist, and a brutal arc pitting Peacemaker against version of himself and the man who killed his dad. Superman (2025): Gunn's official Superman reboot (starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult as Lex) skips a traditional origin story and drops us into a hopeful, charismatic world where Superman isn't a god, he's a human-hearted hero—complete with Krypto the dog and a screwball romance tone. Grossed over US $600 m globally; critics praise its lightness and earnestness, though some say it's overstuffed Fisk Season 3 (Netflix): Kitty Flanagan returns as Helen Tudor‑Fisk in this quirky Aussie probate-law comedy. Now a partner at Gruber & Fisk, she navigates bonkers estate cases and awkward networking snafus. Fans found it charming, though some say the third season lacks the flawless flow of earlier ones.

Episode 402 is Smallville (2001) "Pilot" Baby Kal-El lands on earth and is found by the Kents. Kal-El is named Clark by Jonathan and Martha and tries to live a normal teenage life. This is somewhat of a challenge given his developing abilities. He becomes fast friends with Lex Luthor after saving Lex's life. Same plot used as the aired pilot except for some extension to certain scenes and Cynthia Ettinger portraying the role of Martha Kent before Annette O' Toole takes her place for the rest of the series.

This week on Pour Minds, Lex P and Drea Nicole are back with a solo episode that quickly spirals into one of their funniest debates yet: why young people with old names always seem to act up. From Harriet, Bernice, and Bartholomew to whether “Rubi” only works if you add the Rose, the ladies play the ultimate Name Game—and even reveal the cringey “dream baby names” they came up with back in the day. The laughs don’t stop there. Lex and Drea unpack Kash Doll’s natural-hair era, argue over whether juniors should exist for women, and side-eye folks who keep their last name after marriage. Then it’s time for our very first Business Spotlight with Jalisa, founder of Salt XO, the feminine wellness brand changing the game. Jalisa shares how she went from making soap in her college dorm to running a 7-year powerhouse brand with viral TikTok products. From waxing aftercare and scar-fading oils, to libido-boosting shower gels and even booty deodorant, she breaks down what makes Salt XO so effective—and why every woman (and her man) needs it. Of course, the Pour Minds couch keeps it messy and fun with candid girl talk about hygiene routines, sex aftercare, and why boric acid suppositories might just be the real MVP. This episode is sponsored by Taylor Port. Bold, bright, and unapologetic—just like the Pour Crew.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After crashing his Volkswagen Golf TDI, Lex impresses a child in the thrift store parking lot. 

It began as an ordinary night in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Families were out, friends gathered, strangers hailed rides to get across town. But beneath the surface of that routine evening, something unthinkable was unfolding. A man who seemed to have everything together, a job, a family, no history of violence, suddenly broke from the life he knew. Over the course of just a few hours, a city was gripped by a series of random, senseless attacks that defied explanation. Between rides for a car service, he struck again and again, leaving investigators and residents searching for answers. On episode 366 of The First Degree, Jac and Lex dive in, exploring the answers of impossible questions. Like, what could drive someone with no warning signs to unleash chaos on total strangers?

Lovely to catch up with Kaitlyn to get a behind the scenes breakdown of the process that went into creating her latest LP "Gush" I was not expecting it to be made this way. Nope. I had no clue. I loved being so utter wrong about it! I challenge you to listen fist to the music and then guess how she pulled it off. Utterly wild. Love it. She tells me of the sonic coffee (what resets her ear palette) The inspiration of Lex ishimoto the dancer and reveals a secret as to who she'd like to sound like when singing. Again I was shocked! This was recorded in Feb 2025.. err.. sorry! took me ages If you dont know her work you're in for a treat. She has a very unique and delightful harmonious take on the construction and presentation of electronic sound that is quite a singular take. So rare to find someone that really found their own way through. She's never repeating herself it seems. There's a great range in the catalogue which to me is always the key to a truly great artist. A true seeker.   

In this week's episode of Going Back to Smallville, Clark wakes up in a world where he never became Superman — and everything is wrong. Chloe's engaged, Lex is President, and no one even remembers Lana Lang. As Clark searches for answers, he's pulled into a race against time, a nuclear war, and a familiar face with a dangerous agenda: Brainiac. From alternate timelines to the exploding skies of Krypton, this is one of Smallville's boldest episodes ever — and Clark's biggest challenge yet.GET YOUR 30 DAY FREE TRIAL OF AMAZON PRIME HERE

“The future is coming.” Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting trio – Ian, Liam & Megs – for our 293rd episode as we pop our claws, don our leather suits, and revisit the film that redefined the superhero genre for the new millennium: X-Men (2000). Kev and Georgia? They're cage fighting in Northern Alberta—because of course they are. This week we discuss: Ian and Liam get into a dust-up about what constitutes a gang—whose side are you on? What's with all the wavering accents in this film? How on earth did Magneto know that Rogue had her powers when Rogue, Wolverine, and even Professor X didn't? Ian delights in the blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo by a Canadian Prime Minister (true patriot love). We reflect on Auschwitz as a tourist destination and Ian shares a story about a fashion faux pas that might have landed him on the wrong tour. Was Anna Paquin actually the biggest star attached to the film at the time of its release? You won't guess what Bryan Singer banned from the set—and no, it wasn't claws. Our favourite ghostwriter pops up once again—this time with a surprising link to X-Men. Alternate casting choices: the Wolverine that makes us laugh out loud, and a Professor X that would've been a disaster… but we still want to see it, even if the studio told him to “beat it” (not like that). How do superheroes actually get their names? That's the class we wanted to see at Xavier's. What exactly are the rules of Mystique's powers again—and why is Toad weirdly overpowered? Which character has the worst trash talk despite having the perfect set-up? (Spoiler: lightning shouldn't strike twice.) We talk about meeting up with two Friends of the Podcast this week and drinking pints no matter the occasion. One cast member opens up about a wardrobe malfunction that made mutant fashion even harder to pull off. And finally, whether X-Men (2000) is the Best Film Ever—or just the first stepping stone on the path to superhero dominance.

Recorded by a crackling campfire in Montana's bear country, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it truly means to live with working dogs. Meg is joined by dog trainers Thoma and Lex (who recently welcomed a Malinois puppy into her life) for an unfiltered conversation about the expectations versus reality of high-drive dogs.Have you ever wondered why some dogs seem impossible to settle or why your "reactive" dog behaves so differently from other dogs of the same breed? The answer might lie in understanding what these dogs were bred for. We dive deep into what defines a working dog, from detection K9s and protection sport competitors to high-energy pets with working genetics that leak out as behavioral issues when not properly channeled.The conversation takes a candid turn as we discuss the lifestyle adjustments necessary for working dog owners – the crate rotations, the management strategies, and the acceptance that not every dog can be a "coffee shop dog." We explore how e-collars provide freedom rather than restriction for many high-drive dogs, and why the expectations we place on our dogs often cause more frustration than the dogs themselves.Whether you're considering a working breed, struggling with a high-drive dog, or simply curious about a different approach to dog ownership, this episode offers practical wisdom on matching dogs to lifestyles, finding appropriate outlets for natural drives, and the freedom that comes from accepting your dog for exactly who they are – not who you wish they would be.Listen in as we share personal stories of success, failure, and the beautiful reality of building our lives around these remarkable animals who weren't bred to fit into our world, but rather, to work alongside us in it.theeverydaytrainer.com

Homicide detectives are trained to speak for the dead. They build cases from silence, piecing together fragments of lives they never truly knew. Rarely do they ever get to meet the people they fight for. But for one Los Angeles investigator, that changed in the fall of 1987, when a woman lived through the impossible. After being abducted, held captive for 48 hours, and shot in the head twice, she somehow survived. Her story not only defied medical odds, it reshaped a detective's career and life, forging a bond between victim and investigator that would endure long after the case was closed. In episode 365, Jac and Lex delve into the survival story of Carol LePak, with the help of retired LA homicide investigator, Don Tabek.

Lex is back today to talk about Real Housewives of Miami! First we chat some news, some McBee Dynasty and if we should apply for the civilian Traitors. We discuss the two episodes of Miami, where the women head to Sevilla. These episodes were so much fun with Alexia vs Stephanie and Larsa vs Lisa. Alexia is wearing her wedding ring again but we have to assume thas as of today it is off based on Todd's 10 minute video about wanting to sue production. What are in the texts that Jody sent to Larsa? How did this all affect Lisa being late? Why is Julia starting fights? We had a great time today getting into it all!

This week on Pour Minds, it’s all about Lex P’s 36th birthday—aka the pinnacle of Leo season! Lex and Drea Nicole kick back with no guests, just cocktails, confessions, and plenty of grown-woman gems. From funny birthday memories and the best (and worst) birthday songs, to childhood “fast girl” fashion changes, the ladies cover it all. Lex opens up about stepping into a season of gratitude—owning her home, leveling up in friendships, and embracing the confidence that comes with age. They also get real about the outdated stigma around telling your age, the rise of “seasoned baddies,” and why beauty maintenance—Botox, fillers, and all—isn’t up for debate. Of course, they still keep it messy and hilarious, diving into ghosting after getting gifts, calling out hairline sensitivity, and ranking the cheeses you need in your life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
