Paulo and Dori come to you from a secret German bunker — The Hoff is down here, and so are Nena and Alphaville.But after this show, we don't think we'll be so big in Berlin.We right some wrongs from last week's show, which includes more sexy sax music than we remember — and dead gnomes.How many '80s movies were made on cocaine? The easier question is: how many weren't?We find out how Bill Murray made Hunter S. Thompson look silly, why Paulo hates City of Angels, and what happens when you slow down Kylie Minogue.Finally, we're voting for our favourite '80s ballad, and Paulo is tempted to give it to an animated cat.Jump To: St. Elmo's Fire Soundtrack & Saxophone Debate (00:03:07): https://youtu.be/rgYkL_V1pmE?si=XcyHJyKjjs0BEQOLDawie Die Kabouter and Gnome Deaths (00:09:58): https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/54d5zo/til_that_the_last_episode_of_the_80s_kids_cartoon/Timelessness of Back to the Future (00:14:20): https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/03/back-to-the-future-at-40Movies Fuelled by Cocaine (00:16:29): https://www.cracked.com/article_47203_23-movies-brought-to-you-mostly-by-cocaine.htmlWings of Desire: Plot and Differences from City of Angels (00:30:13): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liAOEb5rnbAPaulo's Movie Review: Where the Buffalo Roam (00:37:52): https://youtu.be/_ZT6fziaIIw?si=p2mPbBCafjoICDd4Rick Astley's Song Choices and an 80s Conspiracy (00:44:04): https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/06/rick-astley-honest-playlist-kylie-donna-summer-biffy-clyro-abbahttps://youtu.be/N40qlumASq4?si=mJiTjWtvxWjoZsVRBBC 80s Duet Countdown (00:48:09): https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2025/bbc-radio-2-ultimate-80s-duet#1980s pop culture, #St. Elmo's Fire, #saxophone music, #Berlin Wall, #David Hasselhoff, #German culture, #corrections, #podcast, #nostalgia, #Back to the Future, #Bob Gale, #Game of Thrones, #The White Lotus, #incest in media, #cultural norms, #Wings of Desire, #Wim Wenders, #City of Angels, #black and white film, #Nick Cave, #Hunter S.

In this week's episode, we dive into Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", exploring the frenzied pursuit of the American Dream and its hollow promises in a world of excess. We examine how the dangers of escapism through drugs and reckless abandon mirror modern temptations, revealing the chaos of losing oneself to fleeting distractions. We'll discuss how Thompson's fearless truth-seeking inspires us to confront societal illusions with bold curiosity, challenging manipulative narratives. Additionally, we uncover the novel's rebellion against conformity, urging us to embrace individuality and authenticity in a world that demands compliance. Join us to discover how Fear and Loathing's wild ride remains a vital guide for navigating modern excesses and safeguarding personal freedom. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that connects Thompson's gonzo vision to today's challenges and the enduring fight for truth and self-expression.I trust that this episode, will prove beneficial to you, your loved ones, and the broader world. As always, I will be sharing several thought-provoking concepts for you to ponder and apply in real-life scenarios in the upcoming days.

On Episode #126 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, our beloved panel of armchair cine-soldiers (who may or may not be honorary members of the IRA; the Irish Rewatching Association) don their greenest beer goggles and deep-dive into one of the more politically confused action-thrillers of the Clinton years. Somewhere between All the President's Men and The Pelican Brief, Alan J. Pakula must have asked himself, “What if instead of Deep Throat or Julia Roberts, it's Brad Pitt with an Irish accent trying to buy missiles in New Jersey?” Enter The Devil's Own (1997), a film that answers no questions but asks a few truly baffling ones, like: Who thought this script was ready? Why does Brad Pitt sound like a leprechaun who studied abroad in New Mexico? And why are Harrison Ford's eyebrows doing all the acting? The post Episode #126 – The Devil's Own (1997) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

"The only way to get through hell is to go through it."Co-hosts Alex Simmons and Chris Ryan have assembled a powerhouse panel of writers to dive deep into the fiery crucible where personal anguish meets creative expression. In this episode, the spotlight shines on the just-released "Soul Scream Anthology: Fear and Loathing." Every guest on today's episode is a contributor to this potent collection of horror stories for a changed world.Join Chris, Alex, and an impressive lineup—including E.F. Deal, Teel James Glenn, Karen Renner, Daemon Manx, Charles Barouch (aka Oliver Bear), and Stephen Van Patten—as they wrestle with the big questions: How do turbulent times, personal pain, and societal fears become the raw material for compelling stories? How can writers transform rage, anxiety, and grief into powerful fiction that challenges, heals, and provokes reflection?From stories inspired by political turmoil and censorship, to tales born from lived experience with violence, abuse, and recovery, the panel reveals how today's dark realities inform their most haunting—and hopeful—work. The conversation tackles the creative process, the emotional toll of writing through crisis, and the power of words to resist, connect, and transform.Whether you're a seasoned author, an aspiring writer, or a reader looking for stories that speak to these challenging times, this episode offers hard-won wisdom, candid confessions, and an unflinching look at the intersection of art and resilience. So grab your notebook, settle in, and get ready for a raw, honest, and inspiring discussion about how to tell your own damn story—no matter what the world throws your way."Fear and Loathing" on AmazonHave any questions, comments, or suggestions?Then, please leave them in the Comments Section.Write: TTDSOnAir@gmail.comAnd follow us on ...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.TellTheDamnStory.comwww.Facebook.com/Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube.com/ Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you're enjoying these episodes, please take a moment to help wet our whistle by clicking on the link to ... ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠

He's been America's top humorist since the early '80s with a syndicated column in 500 newspapers and a long list of bestselling books. This is his third time on the podcast, and his latest book, Class Clown: Memoirs of a Professional Wiseass, is out now.We get into everything—his process, his adventures, and his signature style of humor that's made him a legend. It's always fun with Dave.Episode Description:James sits down with Dave Barry to explore the surprising journey behind his new memoir, Class Clown. Dave shares how his humor evolved from playful everyman columns to a more personal, story-driven style. They talk about his outrageous adventures, from picking up his son in the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile to getting booed by telemarketers and dedicating a sewage station in his honor. They also break down the shifting landscape of writing, how syndication shaped Dave's career, and why modern humor feels trapped in political silos.This is a rare chance to hear how one of America's greatest humorists built a career by doing things to write about them—and why his readers became his closest allies.What You'll Learn:Why Dave Barry was initially reluctant to write a memoir.How performing outrageous stunts became central to his writing.The critical role of reader engagement in building the success of his humor column.How the writing industry—and the path to building an audience—has radically changed.Dave's candid perspective on modern political humor and why neutrality feels impossible today.Timestamped Chapters:[00:00] Introduction to Dave Barry[01:00] Writing a Memoir: The Journey Begins[02:00] The Humorist's Approach: Balancing Persona and Reality[03:00] Adventures in Journalism: Creating Stories by Living Them[05:00] Tactical Humor: Rivalries, Stunts, and Getting Involved[08:00] When Humor Becomes the Story: Telemarketers and Public Reaction[12:00] Building a Community: How Dave Engaged His Readers[17:00] The Syndication Era: How Writing Used to Pay[23:00] The New Writing Economy: Substack and the Digital Shift[28:00] Assault Humor and the Loss of Neutral Comedy[31:00] What's Next: Substack, Slowing Down, and Florida's Wild Identity[35:00] Writing Novels vs. Columns: Dave's Fast-Paced Storytelling Style[41:00] Stand-Up Comedy and the Influence of Nate Bargatze[44:00] Comedy Club Lessons: James on Bombing and Recovery[46:00] Criticism: Dave's Approach to Bad Reviews[47:00] Farewell: Dave's Thoughts on Humor, Writing, and LegacyAdditional Resources:

On Episode #125 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, we cracked a dozen metaphorical eggs and finally found the perfect duck. Not a perfect duck, the perfect duck: 1986's Howard the Duck, a film so strange, so inexplicable, so duck-breasted, that it could only have emerged from the mind of George Lucas during what historians now refer to as the "Post-Ewok Malaise." The lineup this week: myself (Bryan, duck-lover, genius), Dan (duck-hater, probably allergic to joy), Chelsea (convinced this film is a PSYOP), and Wade Davis (whose facial expressions alone deserve their own audio track). Together, we swim through the feathered fever dream that is Howard the Duck, a film that made so little money and ruffled so many feathers that it inadvertently hatched an empire: Pixar. Yes, really. We owe Toy Story to Howard the Duck. You're welcome, America. The post Episode #125 – Howard The Duck (1986) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

On Episode #124 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, we revved our engines for a fast-paced thrill ride and instead crashed gently into a velvet-lined existential romance with Bobby Deerfield, Sydney Pollack's 1977 film that stars a post-Godfather, pre-Scarface Al Pacino; looking like a haunted Calvin Klein ad and speaking at a volume normally reserved for guided meditation tapes.

On Episode #123 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, our brave quartet; Bryan, Dan, Chelsea, and Preston; take a break from dodging dinosaurs and emotionally recovering from Fallen Kingdom to pull a rabbit out of their collective cinematic hat. Their target this week? Louis Leterrier's 2013 Vegas-and-vodka-infused magic-heist thriller Now You See Me; a film that asks, “What if Ocean's Eleven took a stagecraft class at the Mission: Impossible school and started doing crimes with a top hat full of plot holes?” The post Episode #123 – Now You See Me (2013) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

The Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire is the largest ren faire in the state. It will bring out fairies, pirates, knights in shining armor, and more for five weeks, starting in mid-July, near the Skykomish River outside of Monroe. It has a whole lot of fans including one of our colleagues at KUOW, Vicky VanHout. She says Ren Faires are all about dressing up in medieval garb, dancing to medieval themed music, archery, and axe throwing. A celebration of cosplay and history together! But, not everyone is happy with the state of the faire. They say something’s amiss, and it’s not the pirates hitting the grog too hard or Mistress Tiddlywinks’ donkey breaking into the cabbage patch… The Village of Merriwick, AKA the fictional home of the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire, is at the center of a new investigative report in the summer edition of Seattle Met. The story details a series of allegations about management’s treatment of volunteer staff and questions about their financial priorities, as well as bigger questions about changes that some argue are sacrificing the “soul” of the Faire. We reached out to both Washington Renaissance Arts & Education Society and Wandering in Time Productions for their response to Nathalie’s story. They declined an interview, but they did send us a statement: "Wandering in Time Productions is a Pacific Northwest institution, employing nearly 120 full-time, part-time, and contract staff. Its partnership with the Washington Renaissance Arts & Education Society has WITP providing essential services to help produce a high-quality, immersive event each year. In 2024, WITP assumed responsibility for guild and entertainer payments and transitioned to a more equitable contractor model, reinforcing its commitment to fairness and sustainability. WITP, in partnership with the WRAES, puts its heart and soul into bringing an extraordinary production to life each summer. Putting on a high-quality event that welcomes approximately 10,000 visitors daily takes time, effort and significant financial resources. Like many businesses across Washington, the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire has felt the impact of rising production costs. As a result, we have had to make difficult decisions, including increases to ticket prices and a more selective vendor invitation process to ensure the Faire’s continued success. We have also adopted policies, such as quiet hours, meant to ensure that the greatest number of our guests and participants are as comfortable as possible. WITP is also aware that, in past years, a small number of vendors, staff and entertainers have acted in ways that do not reflect the values of our community. When concerns were brought to our attention, WITP responded quickly and decisively based on available information. WITP remains committed to creating a safe, respectful and welcoming environment for all. WITP and WRAES look forward to welcoming all our guests this summer, especially those who have attended for generations, to create magical and memorable experiences together. Our focus remains on creating a safe, inclusive and memorable experience for the many guests, vendors, entertainers and staff who make the Faire possible each year."

On Episode #122 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, your three brave, emotionally bruised hosts; Bryan, Dan, and Preston; return to the scorched ruins of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the fifth installment in the dino-saga that now feels less like Spielberg's evolutionary miracle and more like a deeply confused fever dream penned during a sugar rush in a Lego aisle. Originally released in 2018 to a public still high off Jurassic World's billion-dollar dopamine hit, Fallen Kingdom asks: What if dinosaurs were auctioned to warlords like rare wines? What if a cloned child had an identity crisis and a raptor leapt through a fireball like it was auditioning for Die Hard 6: Cretaceous Drift? These are real questions posed by this film, which genuinely feels like a series of increasingly surreal dares from one studio exec to another. ("I bet you won't write in a genetically-engineered murder dino named Indoraptor who stalks a child like it's The Shining." “Watch me.”) The post Episode #122 – Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

Join host Jason Rugaard for episode 1 in a new podcast series presented by the Movie Mavericks. Each week I will be hosting a retrospective on the films that shaped one of the most influential summers in cinema history. This week's episode looks back at the weekend of May 22nd, 1998. Topics included: Godzilla Deep Impact  Bulworth Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas   Roland Emmerich, Morgan Freeman, Warren Beatty, Pras, Johnny Deep, Benicio Del Toro

On Episode No. 121 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, America's favorite caffeine-fueled cinephiles do what any responsible adults would: they metaphorically strap themselves to the hood of a psychedelic Hot Wheels car and rocket straight into the candy-colored chaos of 2008's Speed Racer. It's the episode longtime listeners have waited for and longtime haters will pretend not to enjoy. While co-host Dan Moran is presumably still hungover on a beach somewhere in Jamaica, contemplating existence through the bottom of a rum bottle and the lens of a pair of novelty sunglasses, Chelsea Nicole returns from podcasting exile. Once vocal critics of the film, both Preston Barta and Chelsea arrive reborn, their opinions evolved, their chakras aligned with the Mach 5. It's character development worthy of the Wachowskis themselves. Joining the gang is none other than Kristi Shimek, editing wizard, recurring guest, and one-time spiritual leader of My Bloody Podcast's Lake Mungo episode. In a twist so poetic it would make M. Night Shyamalan consider early retirement, it was Kristi, yes, Kristi, who chose Speed Racer as this episode's topic. Turns out, she didn't just like the movie. She wrote her thesis on it. A thesis. About Speed Racer. This is, academically speaking, a baller move. The post Episode #121 – Speed Racer (2008) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

On this episode, Chelsey Stone, a freelance writer and book tour leader, describes herself as someone who reads to learn. She brings a lot of really great non-fiction books to the show, and while some of them can be a bit of a bummer, these books help Chelsey learn more about herself and the world while facing reality through reading.    NatGeo article about the Chicago River Read and Run on the Road in DC  Guided Tour of Lemont's Waterways    Book Talk and Signing for The Kat Bunglar with Tanima Kazi    Books mentioned in this episode:    What Betsy's reading:  The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich  West With Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge    Books Highlighted by: Anthills of the Savannah by Chinua Achebe  Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barabara Demick The Gulag Archipelago: An Experiment in Literary Investigation by Alexander Solzhenitsyn The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of WWII by Iris Chang Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland by Christopher R.

On Episode No. 120 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, your favorite trio of podcast botanists; Bryan, Preston, and the valiantly returning Chelsea; strap themselves to a metaphorical tree and brace for the rustling leaves of The Happening, M. Night Shyamalan's 2008 eco-thriller-slash-botanical-farce that once again raised the eternal cinematic question: What if the wind is trying to kill us? Yes, The Happening; Shyamalan's first R-rated film and possibly the only movie to feature both a mass extinction event and Mark Wahlberg asking a plastic plant if it means any harm. This is the movie where Mother Nature stages her big revenge, and she's brought reinforcements: grass, bushes, and ominous breezes. Somewhere in here is a climate change allegory. Or a hot dog commercial. It's hard to say. The post Episode #120 – The Happening (2008) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

Hunter S. Thompson's 1971 novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas remains a classic of American drug literature, a haunting reflection on the cultural and political hangover of the revolutionary 1960s. I'm not sure I've ever experienced a more resonant portrait of the American id than the carnival of vile, deranged American archetypes Thompson describes in these pages. Justin Rogers-Cooper has been similarly influenced by Fear and Loathing over the years, and joins me this week to talk about Thompson's legacy, his dark take on the “meaning” of the 1960s, and his view of America as a debased post-Nazi hellscape.  Check out our new SCREENSHOTZ news chat on the Trap Patreon page, where we share a curated stream of excerpts from global news sources — a relentless, delicious feast of doom, with commentary!  

In this episode of Ear and Loathing, your hosts Aaron, Damon and George (The Gitmo Bros) talk about a sweater with brown buttons, George's background check, two twinks massaging your back, and the Monster Mash is a quality jam. In the Torture Chamber segment, Damon and Aaron compete for meaningless points by making George listen to his most hated music. Will George survive the Torture Chamber long enough to play one of his favorite songs? Tune in and find out! Songs featured in this episode: "Ms. Jackson" (Outkast), "America, Why I Love Her" (John Wayne), "Do the Bartman" (Bart Simpson)

Fear & Loathing in Today's Economy: Money Mistakes to Avoid In episode 203 of the Payne Points of Wealth, Bob, Ryan, and Chris tackle the financial missteps that can jeopardize your economic well-being in today's volatile market. Join us as we delve into: Panicking to Cash When the market takes a downturn, it's natural to feel the urge to convert your investments to cash. However, this knee-jerk reaction can often lead to missed opportunities and long-term losses. We'll discuss why it's important to stay calm and consider the bigger picture before making drastic changes to your portfolio. Allocating Your Money to Annuities or Private Investments Many insurance products and private investments promise lucrative returns and/or safety, but they come with their own set of risks and challenges. We'll explore the potential rewards and pitfalls of investing in annuities, private equity, venture capital, and other non-public assets. Learn how to evaluate these opportunities and decide if they align with your financial goals and risk tolerance. Doubling Down on the Strategy of the Past Relying on outdated strategies that worked in previous economic climates can be detrimental in today's rapidly changing market. We'll analyze why it's crucial to adapt your investment approach to current conditions and avoid the trap of sticking to old habits. Discover how to stay flexible and responsive to new trends and opportunities. Tune in to gain insights into how to navigate the complexities of the current economy and make smarter financial decisions. Whether you're retired, planning for your financial future or just starting out, this episode will provide valuable advice to help you avoid common money mistakes and protect your financial future.

As Labour panic and freak out over Runcorn and the Locals, is Starmer drawing the wrong conclusions from the votes? Is “Reform are right, don't vote for them” the best they can do? Or should they pick more fights with the Right? Plus, what if this newfangled populism isn't so new after all? We talk to Quinn Slobodian, author of Hayek's Bastards: The Neoliberal Roots of the Populist Right, about why the shape-shifting Right are so hard to lay a glove on.

On Episode No. 119 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, the podcast's resident cinephilic trio; Bryan, Dan, and Preston; unearth a forgotten curio from the tail end of the 1970s: The Magic of Lassie, a film whose very existence registers as a kind of cinematic non sequitur. Most Americans, even the least dog-inclined among us, can conjure the image of Lassie, the noble and ever-loyal Rough Collie, bounding across fields to rescue children from abandoned wells. What few remember, or ever knew, is that in 1978, Lassie starred in a musical with pro-wrestling. Yes, a musical. The post Episode #119 – The Magic of Lassie (1978) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

The latest team-up movie from Marvel, Thunderbolts, has been the talk of the town. We walk around our town and break down what we liked and what we didn't. It certainly was captivating to watch as we see how the MCU uses shameful memories to build out some characters and force them to face their own past. Does it work? Let us know what you thought of the Thunderbolts! Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!Instagram: @confidently_podYouTube: @confidentlywrongpodcastWebsite: confidentlywrong.simplecast.comCredits:Hosted by: Wesley Nakamura, Brian Redondo, Savon JonesEdited by: Wesley NakamuraTheme Music: Implied Authority by Bass ElfLink: https://soundcloud.com/bass_elf_music

Do you love to preach but at times loathe sermon prep? Do you find preaching incredibly fulfilling yet preparation frustrating or even overwhelming? If so, you're not alone. Many pastors struggle with the inefficiency of sermon prep—feeling bogged down by research, unsure how to faithfully interpret Scripture, or intimidated by today's hot-button topics like politics, gender, and race. Dr. Bruce Clark (PhD. in Biblical Studies, University of Cambridge) from Interpret Consulting joins the show to discuss the common frustrations of sermon prep and explore practical ways to streamline the process while strengthening your preaching skills. Interpret Consulting aims to come alongside busy faithful pastors (in churches of all sizes and stages) and assist them in sermon preparation by helping them strengthen their exegetical skills and tackle today's seemingly endless sensitive “hot button” issues. The post The Pastor's Dilemma: Loving Preaching, Loathing Sermon Prep appeared first on Church Answers.

It is said that when one person in a family is unstable, the whole family is destabilized. Meet the Shreds. Olivia is the sister in the spotlight until her stunning confidence becomes erratic and unpredictable, a hurricane leaving people wrecked in her wake. Younger sister Amy, cautious and studious to the core, believes in facts, proof, and the empirical world. None of that explains what's happening to Ollie, whose physical beauty and charisma mask the mental illness that will shatter Amy's carefully constructed life. As Amy comes of age and seeks to find her place—first in academics, then New York publishing, and through a series of troubled relationships—every step brings collisions with Ollie, who slips in and out of the Shred family without warning.

It is said that when one person in a family is unstable, the whole family is destabilized. Meet the Shreds. Olivia is the sister in the spotlight until her stunning confidence becomes erratic and unpredictable, a hurricane leaving people wrecked in her wake. Younger sister Amy, cautious and studious to the core, believes in facts, proof, and the empirical world. None of that explains what's happening to Ollie, whose physical beauty and charisma mask the mental illness that will shatter Amy's carefully constructed life. As Amy comes of age and seeks to find her place—first in academics, then New York publishing, and through a series of troubled relationships—every step brings collisions with Ollie, who slips in and out of the Shred family without warning. Yet for all that threatens their sibling bond, Amy and Ollie cannot escape or deny the inextricable sister knot that binds them.

Ralph Steadman is an English artist and illustrator best known for his long collaboration with the iconoclastic Hunter S. Thompson, notably illustrating "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Their partnership helped define “Gonzo” journalism. On this episode we catch up with Ralph, who turns 89 next month, and his daughter, Sadie, to discuss a career spanning exhibition now on view at Oklahoma State University.

The ladies discuss two new articles from The Cut, on the rise of facial dysmorphia and the crisis of masculinity, and weigh in on the Houthi groupchat debacle.

Gonzo Hellscape: Terry Gilliam's Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas In 1998 Director Terry Gilliam - a director whose cinematic career has been fraught with difficulty on the level of Job (see 2002s Lost in La Mancha) was finally successful in bringing to the screen Hunter S. Thompson's 1971 Classic roman á clef of excess, paranoia, idealism, and disappointment, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream. A polariizing film upon its release in 1998, Giliam's interpretation of Thompson's 1971 vision is both awe-inspiring and troubling. There is a tremendous amount to admire in this film while at the same time there is a tremendous amount to be critical of . . . We tackle both perspectives and struggle to find some greater understanding of the late 60s, early 70s, and pain and disappointment of the 2nd decade of a new millennium. It's an interesting and volatile discussion between two friends. Take a listen and let us know what yout think about our reaction to Thompson's vision as rendered through the mind of Terry Gilliam and the equally outrageous and powerful performances of stars Johnny Depp (as Thompson) and Benicio Del Toro (as Chicano activist Oscar Zeta Acosta - the 300lb Samoan of Thompson's writing). As always we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com.

Many federal agencies have new leadership that are hostile to the career personnel. For this special episode, we go inside the DOJ, or as close as we can, w/ the help of 2 of the country's most respected reporters, Devlin Barrett and Evan Perez, and a recent DOJ exile, Stacey Young, who has an organization to help her erstwhile colleagues. We get a concrete sense of what life & work are like now; the day-to-day relationships b/t new guard and the old staff; & the state of mind of the workforce.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan Kilpatrick to discuss Ange's clash with fans at Chelsea and what next for the under-pressure head coach. Dan has just been to Ange's Friday press conference, where the manager evoked Conte and delivered a defiant address, but finds it hard to see a way back for the manager after his apparent goading of fans at Stamford Bridge. The pair also look ahead to Sunday's 'lose-lose' home game against rock-bottom Saints, while Marcus is pushing for Benitez...again.
