Podcast appearances and mentions of Liam Neeson

This week, we review Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999), George Lucas's long-awaited return to the director's chair and the epic sci-fi space opera prequel that launched the Skywalker Saga's origin story. Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor star as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi in a story that explores destiny, political corruption, and the seductive pull of the dark side. With a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker caught at the centre of a galactic trade dispute — and the mysterious Sith emerging from the shadows — this film raises intriguing questions about whether chosen ones are born or made.Is the Force strong with this one, or is it all just midi-chlorian nonsense?

Liam Neeson has spent the last decade dancing between genres like a seasoned circus performer, trading his gravitas‑laden dramatic roots for the gleeful chaos of action mayhem. One moment he's growling threats into a flip phone, the next he's wrestling wolves or popping up in a spoof like The Naked Gun. By 2026, he's added yet another feather to his already overstuffed cap: horror‑comedy. In Cold Storage, Neeson strides into the fray as if he's been waiting his whole life to battle a government‑bred fungus with a bad attitude.According to the tale spun on IMDb, a top‑secret lab misplaces a highly dangerous fungus—because of course it does—and suddenly a retired bioterrorism agent is yanked back into service. He teams up with two plucky young employees of a storage facility to face an enemy that can't be seen, reasoned with, or politely asked to stay in its containment chamber. It's part zombie romp, part disaster spectacle, and entirely the sort of bureaucratic blunder that makes you wonder who keeps approving these fictional government budgets.Guided by director Jonny Campbell and penned by screenwriter‑producer David Koepp, the film pairs Neeson with Joe Keery of Stranger Things fame and Georgina Campbell from Barbarian, plus a delightful appearance by Vanessa Redgrave. Released in just over a thousand theaters—including IMAX, for those who prefer their fungal horrors larger than life—the movie crept into cinemas appropriately on Friday the Thirteenth, February 2026, for a limited run. Now your cohosts dive into this quirky creature feature to share their thoughts, their laughs, and perhaps their newfound fear of refrigerated storage units.

Fra et vaskeri i udkanten af Clermont-Ferrand varmer vi op til hviledagen ved at lufte vores beskidte undertøj. Der er uenighed om, hvorvidt man kan dele en tørretumbler - og måske endnu mere nærliggende, om dagens etape var en fuser eller ej. Vi samler op på de første ni hæsblæsende dage. For det kan godt være, at det ser svært ud med en dansker i den gule førertrøje. Men løbet har givet os så meget mere. Baptiste Veistroffer og den falske Liam Neeson for eksempel. Inden tøjet er tørt, når vi også at kigge frem mod den kommende uge. En vigtig uge for Mads Pedersen i kampen om den grønne trøje. Vi er tilbage tirsdag. Nyd hviledagen.

What happens when fatherhood meets fandom, nostalgia, anime, and one of the strangest parenting debates imaginable? You get another unforgettable episode of Wise_N_Nerdy with Charles and Joe! The episode begins with the Question of the Week: "What actor would be the most powerful if they inherited the abilities of every character they've ever portrayed?" It's an entertaining thought experiment as the hosts debate Hollywood heavyweights like Ryan Reynolds, Liam Neeson, and Benedict Cumberbatch. Between superheroes, sorcerers, assassins, and action legends, the conversation quickly becomes a battle of fictional power levels and cinematic legacies. As always, the Roll of the Dice determines the adventure, landing first on "What Are You Nerding Out About?" Charles shares his excitement about collaborating with fellow content creators, including Josh Cooper from Uploads of Fun. He talks about the creative energy that comes from working alongside passionate people who love building great communities. Meanwhile, Joe has been diving into the premiere of The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System, a fresh isekai anime that immediately caught his attention with its distinctive animation style and unique approach to the genre. The dice then send the hosts into the "How Do I...?" segment, where they tackle an important parenting question: How should you interact with the people your kids are dating? Charles and Joe discuss finding the balance between being welcoming, setting healthy boundaries, showing genuine interest, and creating an environment where relationships can develop with honesty and mutual respect. No episode of Wise_N_Nerdy would be complete without a healthy dose of terrible humor, and this week's Bad Dad Jokes deliver exactly that. Thanks to contributions from the Wise_N_Nerdy Discord community, listeners are treated to another barrage of puns, groans, and laugh-out-loud moments that have become a beloved tradition. Next comes "Daddy, Tell Me A Story," where Charles and Joe take a nostalgic trip back to the cartoons that helped define their childhoods. From the unforgettable storytelling of Spider-Man and X-Men to the darker themes and rich world-building of Gargoyles, the hosts celebrate the animated series that shaped a generation of fans and continue to hold a special place in their hearts. The episode wraps up with "Parliament of Papas," featuring a hilariously relatable discussion inspired by a scenario involving someone using another person's toothbrush. The hosts weigh in on personal hygiene, boundaries, and exactly why this particular habit ranks so high on the list of universally disgusting experiences. Whether you're debating overpowered movie actors, discovering new anime, reminiscing about classic 90s cartoons, navigating parenting challenges, or simply enjoying a few painfully bad dad jokes, this episode delivers another perfect blend of humor, heart, and geek culture.

Nine years into this podcast and we finally talk about a Batman movie. That seems illegal. We explain why Batman is the pop culture figure who is most like a religion, debate whether he is the most popular fictional character in the world, and go through the various toggles from dark to light to dark to light to dark again, and why this drives fans nuts. Christopher Nolan wanted to make a grounded, realistic Batman. He succeeded. But was this a good idea? And was this good for culture? Does Nolan have much to atone for? Is this movie his Bat Bomb?   Watch this episode in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VEFwqhk_NvY  Next week (June 26, 2026). The Prestige (2006)!

A guy ran into a swamp while running from police and got attacked by an alligator. Knox News reached out to Matt Damon’s team to ask where exactly he bartended in Knoxville in the 90s.

She finally started watching Dirty Dancing, and now they want her to watch Field of Dreams and Ace Ventura.

She and her husband were struiggling with how to move a boulder into their flower bed, and Ben had the greatest idea. Group Therapy: I Smell My Socks When I Take Them Off. Is That Weird?
