Terence Stamp was an actor who consistently chose discomfort over safety. After rising in the 1960s as a British leading man, he deliberately pivoted toward colder, more complex, and often unsettling roles. In this week's magnificent episode, Wickham and Colleen are discussing late Terence Stamp and a selection of his films: "Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (1994, dir. Stephan Elliot), "The Hit" (1984, dir. Stephen Frears), and "The Limey" (1999, dir. Steven Soderbergh).

Hollywood has a new cash cow, and his name is Jesus. As studios scramble for post-COVID relevance, they've traded superheroes for the "chosen" ones, grossing hundreds of millions by turning ancient dogmas into bingeable blockbusters. We're dissecting the "happy gauze" applied to biblical atrocities and the rise of masculine religion vs. feminine spirituality on screen. From Avatar's blue-tinted woo to the thirst for religious sequels, it's clear the industry cares less about salvation than the bottom line. It turns out even the Son of God needs a high-budget filter to be marketable.News Source:The Year Faith-Based Films Finally Grew Up: The Top 10 Movies of 2025By Rapt Interviews for RaptJanuary 10, 2026

Pope Leo XIV is suddenly very concerned that the world is too violent, which is rich coming from the leader of history's wealthiest criminal organization. While he decries the erosion of human life, it's mostly just a Trojan horse to smuggle in anti-choice dogma and play to "end times" fantasies. We're dissecting the selective outrage that ignores secular suffering while demanding moral authority the Vatican forfeited centuries ago. If the Church actually cared about peace, they'd trade their gold chalices for boots on the ground instead of just offering more holy lip service.News Source:Pope warns diplomats of rising global violence and erosion of human lifeBy USCCB Staff for USCCBJanuary 12, 2026

As religion bleeds followers, it's looking for a digital transfusion from the high-tech elite. We're dissecting the rise of techno-cults, the Vatican's desperate attempt to regulate AI with its Antiqua et Nova policy, and why tech bros like Peter Thiel are now becoming guest speakers at megachurch revivals. It turns out that when you can't get answers from a burning bush, a large language model that tells you exactly what you want to hear is the next best thing. Silicon Valley is building the new gods of a digital age where faith and profit finally merge.News Source:Tech revival after Peter Thiel's Antichrist talks: There's hope and warinessBy Religion News ServiceJanuary 2, 2026

John Boorman's Point Blank (1967) has long been recognized as one of the seminal films of the sixties, with its revisionary mix of genres including neo-noir, New Wave, and spaghetti western. Its lasting influence can be traced throughout the decades in films like Mean Streets (1973), Reservoir Dogs (1992), Heat (1995), The Limey (1999) and Memento (2000). Eric Wilson's compelling study Point Blank (British Film Institute, 2023) examines its significance to New Hollywood cinema. He argues that Boorman revises traditional Hollywood crime films by probing a second connotation of “point blank.” On the one hand, it is a neo-noir that aptly depicts close range violence, but, it also points toward blankness, a nothingness that is the consequence of corporate America unchecked, where humans are reduced to commodities and stripped of agency and playfulness. He goes on to reimagine the film's experimental style as a representation of and possible remedy for trauma. Examining Boorman's formal innovations, including his favoring of gesture over language and blurring of boundaries between dream and reality, he also positions the film as a grimly comical exploration of toxic masculinity and gender fluidity. Wilson's close reading of Point Blank reveals it to be a film that innovatively inflects its own generation and speaks powerfully to our own, arguing that it is this amplitude, which encompasses the many major films it has influenced, that qualifies the film as a classic. Eric Wilson is Professor of English at Wake Forest University, USA. His publications include Secret Cinema: Gnostic Vision in Film (2006) and The Strange World of David Lynch: Transcendental Irony from Eraserhead to Mulholland Dr (2007). His writing has featured in Psychology Today, L.A. Times, The New York Times and Huffington Post. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers and articles on G. K. Chesterton and John Ford, he teaches research and writing at Rutgers and co-hosts the podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics, found here on the New Books Network and on X.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The ancient human instinct for tribalism, initially a tool for cooperative survival, has been twisted into a modern social weapon amplified by instant media. We analyze how the evolutionary drive for in-group safety feeds destructive political polarization, transforming communal bonding into fierce "us vs. them" conflicts. This dynamic allows manipulative leaders to exploit fear, hoard resources, and use identity—including religion—as a relentless social cudgel in the ongoing culture war.News Source:

A student's ridiculous claim of religious discrimination after flunking a mandatory psychology assignment in Oklahoma reveals the cynical conservative playbook: leveraging academic failure into highly profitable Christian victimhood, turning zeroes into thousands in donor cash. This fabricated outrage, aggressively championed by her conservative "stage mom" and state politicians, targets trans educators and undermines university standards across the nation. We break down how the modern culture war weaponizes religious identity, demonstrating that for the far right, fundamentalist belief is simply a lucrative political tool used only to attack perceived enemies. This brazen spectacle proves that performative hypocrisy is the new currency of the Christian nationalist movement.News Source:

High-control religious groups exploit gendered social programming, effectively priming women for coercive control via enforced submission, isolation, and lack of agency. This critical discussion draws sick parallels between traditional feminine roles and cult dynamics, noting how manufactured obedience prevents critical thinking and makes escaping high-control environments virtually impossible. We expose the insidious tactics like "love bombing" and false empowerment that strip genuine agency and trap people in cycles of destructive dogma.News Source:

Movie of the Year: 1999The Limey (feat. Adam Kempenaar from Filmspotting)Why The Limey Still Packs a PunchIn this episode of Movie of the Year, the Taste Buds turn their sights on The Limey (1999), Steven Soderbergh's sharp revenge thriller about grief, family, and memory. Mixing classic crime tropes with experimental editing, The Limey is both a gripping noir and an impressionistic meditation on loss. With Terence Stamp delivering a career-defining performance, the film remains one of Soderbergh's most daring works.1960s vs 1990s in The LimeyAt the heart of The Limey lies a conversation between two eras. Terence Stamp's Wilson—a hardened ex-con from the swinging London of the 1960s—arrives in neon-soaked Los Angeles of the 1990s to uncover the truth about his daughter's death. The Taste Buds discuss how the film contrasts the ideals, aesthetics, and morality of these decades, using Wilson's journey as both a cultural clash and a generational reckoning.Steven Soderbergh's Directing Style in The LimeyKnown for pushing boundaries, Steven Soderbergh infuses The Limey with fractured editing, nonlinear storytelling, and the haunting use of flashbacks. The Taste Buds break down how these stylistic choices elevate a standard revenge plot into a hypnotic piece of cinema. They also explore how The Limey connects to Soderbergh's other 1999 classic, Out of Sight, and how his experimental style paved the way for his 2000s successes.Family, Revenge, and The Limey's Emotional CoreWhile The Limey is structured like a thriller, its true heartbeat lies in themes of family and redemption. Wilson's grief over his daughter and his desperate search for answers give the film unexpected emotional weight. The Taste Buds explore how family drives the story forward, turning vengeance into something deeply human and heartbreaking.Guest Panelist: Adam Kempenaar from FilmspottingJoining this week's episode is Adam Kempenaar, host of the long-running podcast Filmspotting. Adam brings decades of cinephile experience and critical insight to the discussion, offering a deeper look at Soderbergh's influence and the lasting cultural relevance of The Limey. His perspective helps connect the film to both classic noir traditions and contemporary cinema.Listen to Filmspotting here!Bonus Segment: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)The Taste Buds balance The Limey's brooding intensity with a bonus discussion of 10 Things I Hate About You, the teen comedy that reimagines Shakespeare for the 1990s. They break down the film's clever script, breakout performances from Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles, and how it epitomizes the teen movie boom of the decade. Together, the two films showcase the remarkable range of 1999 cinema.FAQ About The Limey Podcast EpisodeWhat is The Limey (1999) about?The film follows Wilson (Terence Stamp), an ex-con who travels to Los Angeles to investigate his daughter's mysterious death.Why is Steven Soderbergh's style in The Limey unique?Through nonlinear editing, impressionistic flashbacks, and tonal shifts, Soderbergh transforms a revenge story into an artful meditation on grief and memory.Why is family important in the film?Wilson's pursuit of justice is rooted in his...

Are you a maker or a taker?  We've made nothing but the good stuff on this episode: automaker OEs forgetting who owns the cars they sold (you) and taking away the performance over the phone (and forgetting the rules of Right-To-Repair as outlined by champs like Steve Wozniak and the federal case against John Deere).  Speaking of tractors, we've got a study of the big-head elitist media whackos at NPR who are either pretending they just discovered tractor pulling or they're actually that clueless.  There's also the new measurement of horse-pounds (when HP and FT-LBs ain't enough), Camping World's big American flags and even bigger FU to every city that complains about 'em, some thoughts about the hazards of folks who break into your country being allowed to drive 40,000lb not-very-guided cruise missiles, and some great video of a small Philippines Coast Guard cruiser outsmarting two Chinese warships into ramming each other. Backing it all up - literally and metaphorically - is The Prodigy and a proper Excellent Weirdo RIP for classic English acting oddball Terrence Stamp (if you haven't seen him in "The Limey", you're missing out - dude could act, and that movie's got fire and some high-Q ass-kicking).

Crossroad City, losing the balance, a haunted Hunter, some recent news, a radioactive Red Lobster, a recipe from Sammy, a first class Stamp (these jokes can just write themselves sometimes, right?), a couple of driven yet destructive directors, book talk, a slow burn strange little new thriller, and wrapping it up with a little Elliott Smith. Stuff Mentioned: Late Night With David Letterman (November 19, 1987 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcf-u2LdjiI), Dan Tana's (9071 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069), Superman II (1981), Billy Budd (1962), Teorema (1968), Blonde Redhead "Pier Paolo" (1997), Blonde Redhead Fake Can Be Just as Good (1997), The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), The Limey (1999), Hide Sushi (2040 Sawtelle Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90025), Leo Tolstoy War and Peace (1867), Richie Valens "La Bamba" (1958), La Bamba (1987), Sharp Corner (2024), Results (2015), That '70s Show (1998-2006), The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974), The Wizard of Oz (1939), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), Heatmiser "Somebody to Lose" (1994), and Heatmiser Cop and Speeder (1994).

We remember British actor Terence Stamp, who died last week at age 87. He starred in the film The Limey, as an ex-con out for revenge, and in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert as a transgender performer on the road with a lip-synch club act. Stamp got his start in the '60s, starring in the films Billy Budd, Far From the Madding Crowd and The Collector. Stamp grew up in a working class cockney neighborhood and as a teenager, when he let it be known he wanted to be an actor, his father told him, "People like us don't do things like that." He spoke with Terry Gross in 2002.Also, film critic Justin Chang reviews the new hit horror film Weapons.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Yeah, like we weren't going to go over two and a half hours on FULL FRONTAL. Following the generational run of OUT OF SIGHT, THE LIMEY, ERIN BROCKOVICH, TRAFFIC, and OCEAN'S ELEVEN, Steven Soderbergh did what anyone would do: he shot a semi-improvised ensemble Hollywood satire on a consumer grade digital camera. The result, FULL FRONTAL, is a fascinating film about connection, mediation, performance, and the film industry, so who better to talk about it with than our Hollywood bigwig buddy, filmmaker and producer Chadd Harbold? This is a really good one, folks - don't sleep on it!

In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Forrest Valkai and Objectively Dan, sort through calls of AI, logical fallacies, and apocalyptic dream interpretations. No circular arguments made today!Chidumebi in PA asks how to combat religious students that insist on AI reliance to justify the Bible. It is important to teach children how to search and explain why there is bias behind some of the input. These models are designed for good output, not accuracy. Be sure they understand what material they will need to know as a requirement, regardless of their personal beliefs or use of AI language models. What is the student supposed to do if they end up in a career they do not know how to do as a result of their reliance on AI?Mike in SC, thinks that AI can replace atheists but not theists because it can do anything atheists can do by using less resources. What is your understanding of the massive centers needed to support AI? If the soul is a factor, how do you explain an AI video that turns people to Christ? It is odd that you believe the actions of human beings that are atheists can be reduced down to a chat box. If dogs don't have souls, is it cool that we just replace all dogs with AI? Our lives are more than just a sum of our labor and we find this conclusion dehumanizing. Herman in Canada has massive observations of “things begotting things” so therefore there must be a creator. It is important to point out that energy has not been created. What created the actual creator of the universe? How do you know that the reality of physics was exactly the same just before the big bang? If everything is contingent on something, what would a world that was not created look like?Luc, a Catholic in Canada, explains his different perception in the prime mover argument and that is that rules need rulemakers. Why are the rules of nature excluded from this argument? We do not need to provide evidence for not believing in something. What evidence do you have that everything needs a rule maker? Of these two things, which is the more reliable pathway to truth; evidence or faith? Why is it good enough for you when the Catholic Church says something? We are not expected to just believe a thing because a teacher told us to; we must do the work/tests, and experiments to learn this stuff.Prophet Daniel from Australia, believes there is one god for the entirety of existence and the interpretation of dreams made in the Book of Daniel prove his existence. How do you think this story has been adapted to meet the events that actually transpired? Why would this book be a reliable source when Daniel speaks with a dragon?Jamie the Blind Limey, our backup host joins to close out the show and offer some post thoughts on some of the calls.
