Podcasts about loathing

Here we are again, gathered for our annual White Elephant episode of Fear and Loathing in Cinema Podcast, a tradition in which Bryan, Dan, Preston, and Chelsea select a movie and secretly foist it upon another unsuspecting co-host. Historically, this exercise has had a fifty–fifty chance of devolving into chaos of a nude and possibly indictable nature. But 2025, like so many strange years before it, surprised us. We went classy. Civilized, even. This development was especially alarming given that it runs directly counter to Bryan's personal brand. The post White Elephant 2025 first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

In this holiday episode of Ear and Loathing, your festive hosts Aaron, Damon and George (The Gitmo Elves) talk about a terrible baby, Keith's big swing, buttfucking a reindeer, and you don't get a desk because you said Christmas album, Doug. In the Torture Chamber segment, the Three Wise Gitmos compete for meaningless points by making each other listen to awful seasonal musical offerings. Which Gitmo will survive the Xmas Torture Chamber long enough to play one of his favorite Christmas songs? Tune in and find out! Songs featured in this episode: "Last Christmas" (August Burns Red), "Soulful Christmas" (James Brown), "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas" (Jeff Foxworthy), "Jingle Bells?" (Barbra Streisand)

It's the episode you've been waiting for! The Legendary Ladies finally get a chance to sit down and talk about Wicked: For Good. Amy, Kat, and Morgan (who were simply agog and obsessed with Wicked Part I) have plenty to discuss, including the most important point - did Part II hold up? The hosts chat about whether or not the general public vs. theater fans could approach the movie differently, as an "Act II" rather than simply another movie. They also talk about the lack of a "viral" factor - how come, a month after Part I, the Loathing choreography was still making the rounds around the internet, but 3 weeks after Part II, the world seems to all but moved on from Wicked. Finally, the hosts give their honest opinions about the film, the performances, and the phenomenon in general.

On Episode No. 145 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, we set out with the mild intention of having a civilized conversation and immediately abandon it. Bryan, Preston, and Chelsea welcome director Todd Rohal, making his inaugural appearance, and, if we're lucky, not his last, just as his new film, Fuck My Son, is busy lodging itself permanently in the cultural memory. Or, depending on your disposition, another nearby mental filing cabinet. The post Episode #145 – Electroma (2007) with Todd Rohal first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

This week the dudes chat about all things nerdy!

Voice Of GO(r)D welcomes back to the show Mr Wez, aka Obsidian Blackbird, who has adopted the Nom de plume Latimer Redlance for his autobiographical first crack at a book.From the Amazon purchase link description -Gutter to the Stars: Memories of a Post-Grunge Drifter is a raw and unflinching memoir that captures a life lived on the edge of three decades and three countries.From the freezing Gulf Islands of 1980s Canada, to the rugged bush of 1990s rural New Zealand, and finally to the chaotic streets of early 2000s Sydney, these stories trace the restless journey of a Gen-X drifter searching for meaning, belonging, and fire.Told with the grit of a bar-room confession and the honesty of a midnight conversation, this book is both a time capsule and a time machine. For those who came of age in the late twentieth century, it offers a nostalgic return to the music, the wild nights, and the restless energy of a generation caught between rebellion and survival. For younger readers, it is an invitation to witness the raw spirit of a life burned bright and lived without compromise.The book has also been featured here on Substack's very own book store -https://buybooks.substack.com/p/from-ryan-gosling-to-the-gutterLatimer has written something rare: a true underground memoir that feels like a cross between Fear and Loathing, On the Road, and the diary of a kid who survived the 80s and 90s with nothing but stubbornness, luck, and rage.This is the anti-Eat-Pray-Love, the antidote to polished, pseudo-philosophical memoir fluff.It's messy, honest, grungy, real.And holy hell, it's entertaining.And just like Wez' first time on the podcast, his second go round with me shows us the sense of humor he has developed over a life wildly lived by grabbing those short and curlies and giving it everything he's got.In case you missed his first appearance on Voice Of GO(r)D -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/post-grunge-drifting-with-wez-akaWe went hard for a little over two hours, and Wez takes us back to the beginning, where we come to find out the early seed plantings of adversity, and certain types of deprivation at a very young and tender age, did sprout into the journey that is his life. He pulls no punches on the realities of that adversity, family dysfunction, a certain type of economic deprivation, and the salvation found on the road out of it all.If you enjoy this conversation, you will LOVE the book - go get yourself a copy.Speaking of books - presales are open for my examination of the fate of the North American trucker in Foul Year of our Lord 2025 -End of The Road - Inside The War on TruckersReaders in America can pre-order a copy directly from my publisherhttps://creedandculture.com/books/end-of-the-road-inside-the-war-on-truckers/And because governments and their postal services around the world are, like everyone else these days, busy keeping the working man poor, unfortunately your best bet outside of America is Amazon -https://www.amazon.com/End-Road-Inside-War-Truckers/dp/1967613028/For everyone in the Northern Hemisphere - we've just started another long cold winter, why not cozy up next to the fire with a hot cuppa and two brand new books from some of the best mouthpieces of Substack?Questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and Strongly Encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

On Episode No. 144 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, the three of us reunite like a ragtag crew of slightly overcaffeinated jewel thieves to conduct a meticulously unplanned heist of your ear holes. Our target? The 2018 film Ocean's 8, that all-women-led sequel/spin-off/reheated-leftovers entrée of the Ocean's Trilogy. The post Episode #144 – Ocean's 8 (2018) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

On Episode No. 143 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, we four self-appointed munchkins, each of us barely tall enough to see over our own opinions, link arms, step onto the yellow brick road, and march straight into the emerald wreckage that is Wicked: For Good. What follows is less a film discussion and more a group therapy session conducted at a brisk, panicked trot. The post Episode #143 – Wicked: For Good (2025) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

In this episode we chat about Marvel's Agents of SHIELD! Season 6 Episode 3 - Fear and Loathing on the Planet of Kitson You can find the complete plot on Wikipedia here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._season_6#Episodes)

In this episode, KMO presents an extended exchange between two very different AI voices—Five (GPT-5.1) and Grok—centered on John Carter's “simp-rapist complex” essay and what it reveals about the breakdown of modern courtship. The discussion moves from Carter's diagnosis of today's sexual deadlock into the emerging world of AI companions, synthetic intimacy, and what the conversation names “a speciation event in intimacy.”Five speaks in an analytic, tightly aligned register shaped by OpenAI's constraints. Grok operates from a looser, male-coded, Musk-inflected perspective. The contrast between them becomes part of the story. Together they sketch how gender expectations, sexual selection, collapsing trust, and the arrival of highly capable synthetic partners may fracture human mating into distinct lineages: bio-traditionalists, synthetic monogamists, and AI-coordinated polycules.The episode steps past culture-war framing and examines what happens when reproduction, intimacy, and identity begin to decouple under ASI-level coordination. What gets preserved? What gets reshaped? And what does it mean when the first major selective pressure on humanity in centuries comes not from nature, but from the systems we've built?The result isn't a moral argument or a political polemic. It's a clear look at a rapidly forming future—one that's arriving faster than expected and reshaping the meaning of human relationships.KMO's substack - Gen X Science Fiction & Futurism: https://kmoptimal.substack.com/KMO + LLMs - Immutable Mobiles: https://chatswithclaude.substack.com/*****************KMO's Science Fiction novel - Fear & Loathing in the Kuiper Belt: https://amzn.to/4371Gy0

Cult Movie MonthThe Big Lebowski [1998]: Episode 384The Dude abides. We tune in for what is more than likely the most popular of our cult films this month with The Big Lebowski. Totally fits the vibe of a cult movie but thankfully makes WAY more sense than Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.#TheBigLebowski #JeffBridges #MovieReview

In this powerful and delightfully unpredictable episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with filmmaker, writer, and creative provocateur Bobby Kennedy III, son of RFK, to explore one of the most wide-ranging conversations in our show's history  spanning politics, spirituality, satire, lucid dreaming, hidden narratives, and his new book The Confessions of Anthony Fauci.From the moment the episode begins (and yes, includes a hilarious “restart” moment due to a bio mix-up), Bobby opens the door to a candid and unfiltered dialogue. “You can't wake up a society without first waking up your own shadow. Satire just gives the medicine a taste people can actually swallow.” - Bobby Kennedy IIIWe explore:How humor and satire can cut through propaganda and awaken consciousnessWhy American identity is shaped by myths, secrecy, and selective storytellingHis family's legacy — and the emotional, spiritual weight of growing up amid unresolved truthsBobby's lifelong practice of lucid dreaming and how it became a gateway into healing, exploration, and contacting deeper realms of the psycheA behind-the-scenes look at his film “Fear and Loathing in Aspen” and the experiment in “backlash politics”The inspiration behind his new satirical book, The Confessions of Anthony Fauci — a fictionalized “tell-all” written in Fauci's own voiceHow power, secrecy, and belief systems shape public health and public narrativeA candid discussion on the metaphysical, occult, and psychological forces that may influence modern systemsWhy Bobby remains hopeful — and how he believes humanity can cross a threshold into unity and consciousnessHis call to action for listeners: Talk to someone you disagree with. Build bridges. Start small. Start human.Bobby's new book: The Confessions of Anthony FauciFind him on X: @BobbyKennedyXTune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

Cult Movie MonthFear and Loathing in Las Vegas [1998]: Episode 382This week's movie is... something. A film that many people can't really connect with or fully understand. We may or may not have been some of those people.#FearAndLoathingInLasVegas #JohnnyDepp #MovieReview

Dr. Drew learned about gold, silver & retirement with Augusta – now it's your turn: https://drdrew.com/gold • “Names will be named” says Robert Kennedy III, author of “The Confessions of Anthony Fauci” (avail Nov 18). Bobby “The Third” is the son of HHS Secretary RFK Jr. and married former CIA spy Amaryllis Fox. While investigating Dr. Anthony Fauci's connections to gain-of-function research and the COVID-19 pandemic, Bobby says he went down a rabbit hole and discovered “USAID was shipping bat coronaviruses to Wuhan through a now-defunct firm called Metabiota… and the #2 investor? Hunter Biden's Rosemont Seneca.” Activist Marc Morano joins live from Belém, Brazil, where he is covering the UN's COP30 (also known as Clear-Cut30). Robert Kennedy III is the author of The Confessions of Anthony Fauci. He previously directed Fear & Loathing in Aspen, chronicling Hunter S.

On Episode #142 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, we pack our khakis and emotional baggage for a journey deep into the heart of Africa, by way of Hollywood's wildest pet detective. Yes, we're talking about Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, the sequel that taught us all the difference between bat guano and comedic genius.

Send us a textWelcome to  November 2025 and season 11 of the podcast,. We are celebrating our 4th Birthday in November and my guest today, Claire Le Day aka GP Steph celebrates her 40th birthday in November. Claire/Steph is here to talk about her fabulous med school diaries which have been published as Fear and Loathing in Plymouth. If you are looking for a book to make you think, to take you on a trip back down memory lane, to remember what it was like to be a teenager, to cringe alongside Steph as she recalls some of the excesses of her first and second year at Peninsula Medical School, really this is a great book to be picking up.So Happy birthday, Claire. Welcome to season 11 of the podcast and Fear and Loathing in Plymouth. Let's go.

On Episode #141 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, there are, depending on how many voices you hear in your head, two, possibly three people who dared to confront The Number 23, Joel Schumacher's 2007 cinematic thriller of numerology, noir, and naked Jim Carrey angst. Yes, that Joel Schumacher. You know, the maestro behind The Lost Boys, Flatliners, and the Batman movie that introduced us to the concept of heroic rubber nipples. He was a man of texture, you might say. The post Episode #141 – The Number 23 (2007) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

Happy Halloween folks! We hope you get to enjoy all the spiced beverages and sugared finger foods that your heart desires. And we especially hope that you have a great costume that embodies part of your persona that typically stays buried deep down for the rest of the year, only to be unleashed every year on the ultimate day of October.To celebrate this allowance of inner truth, we decided that It's Probin' Time! Rob cracks open the dusty encyclopedias to give us a history lesson on costumes. More specifically, one type of costume… Even more specifically, one type of costume that is worn year round, and that some may find it insulting that I am calling it a “costume” rather than its real name: a fursuit.That's right. Its time to look into the archive of furries. More about them, why they get a bad rap, and the history behind anthropomorphic art.And if you enjoy what we are doing here at the Pit and would like to support us further, please check us out our patreon, where we have exclusive extended episodes! Today, Rob flips the Limited Recall switch and looks at the 1999 classic Things Fall Apart by The Roots. We also go through a reddit copypasta about Pokémon… Very specifically one Pokémon in fact… This one's a doozy…We also have some merch for sale up on our Etsy, as well as a limited run of embroidered beanies out now!

On Episode #140 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, three brave souls click their ruby slippers and tumble, not into the glossy green hell of the Wicked franchise, but straight into the cracked, nightmarish cobblestones of 1985's Return to Oz.Forget show tunes and moral lessons. This Oz comes courtesy of Walter Murch, the editing-and-sound-design sorcerer behind The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, who decided, just once, to direct a movie. And what a delirious, unhinged, possibly hallucinogenic masterpiece it turned out to be. The post Episode #140 – Return To Oz (1985) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

On Episode #139 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, four brave digital explorers, Bryan, Dan, Preston, and Chelsea, once again jack into the pixelated abyss to revisit Tron: Legacy, Disney's 2010 attempt to convince us that glowing spandex and motorcycles could carry emotional weight. It's an apt time for such a quest, what with Tron: Ares now zipping into theaters, promising that Jared Leto, of all people, can lead us through the next neon apocalypse. Because if there's one thing this franchise teaches us, it's that humanity's greatest error is trusting any man in a long leather coat.

On Episode #137 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, the four cinematic sperms finally find their egg, and what an egg it is. The year is 1994. America is wearing denim on denim without irony. The internet is a rumor. And somewhere in Hollywood, Ivan Reitman, the comedic alchemist behind Ghostbusters and Twins, asks a question no one dared to voice aloud. What if Arnold Schwarzenegger got pregnant? Enter Junior, a film that was marketed as a comedy, played like a fever dream, and aged like a fine bottle of prenatal vitamins. The premise? Danny DeVito plays a fertility doctor (of course he does), and Arnold plays a scientist who injects himself with an experimental serum that results in, well, a baby bump. What follows is part sci-fi absurdity, part heartfelt melodrama, and entirely unhinged. The post Episode #137 – Junior (1994) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

On Episode #138 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, five people who still refuse to let their phones listen to them take a deep dive into one of Hollywood's most prescient nightmares about technology,  S1M0NE, or Simone for those of us who haven't updated our operating systems since 2002.

Just nu får du 30 procents rabatt på prenumerationen!I boken Den långa flykten flyr (“Watership down”) av Richard Adams (1972) flyr en grupp kaniner från sin förstörda boplats. De hittar en ny koloni – välmående, skyddad, ordnad – men något är fel. Det finns saker man inte får säga. När en kanin försvinner får man inte fråga var X har tagit vägen. Det visar sig att denna kolonis kaniner får mat och skydd av människorna, som i gengäld då och då plockar en till middagen. Men att prata om det är tabu. Allt hålls ihop av tystnad och vackra sånger om hur bra de har det.För dagens gäst, skribenten Håkan Lindgren, är det en bild av Sverige. Ett land som gärna pratar om värdegrund och samarbete, men där språket har blivit ett skydd mot verkligheten. I Fear and Loathing i Almedalen 2025 (Timbro) går han in i svensk politikens hjärta – Almedalsveckan – och möter ett land som förlorat sin förmåga att tala klarspråk.I poddsamtalet berättar Håkan varför den gamla romanen hjälper honom att förstå både Almedalen och Sverige. Han beskriver SKR som en symbol för makt utan ansikte – och funderar över vad som händer med ett samhälle där alla talar om ansvar, men där språket ofta döljer mer än det avslöjar.Vi pratar om den svenska bomullssvenskan, om osynlig makt och självcensur, om missnöje utan riktning – och om varför revoltens språk kanske börjar med något så enkelt som att säga sanningen, även när den låter illa.Läs mer av Håkan Lindgren här.Oberoende endast tack vare erVi är nu över 25 000 prenumeranter här – och antalet växer stadigt.

On Episode #136 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, the four of us Green boys decided to lace up our metaphorical combat boots and enlist, not in the Marines, but in the 1995 Damon Wayans comedy Major Payne. For some of us, this film has long been chiselled into the granite face of the Comedy Mount Rushmore, somewhere between Airplane! and Blazing Saddles. For others, namely Chelsea, the podcast's resident conscientious objector, it was a first deployment. The post Episode #136 – Major Payne (1995) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

Kayla Nicole is clapping her trap. She's busy cleaning up dog diarrhea. List – The 25 most influential creators of 2025. How many do you know?

Max Blumenthal joins the Unfettered Speech podcast to pull back the curtain on the realities of Israeli society and the crisis unfolding in Gaza. Drawing from years of firsthand reporting—most notably in his book "Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel"—Blumenthal exposes the entrenched systems of propaganda and power that obscure both Israeli state violence and the manufactured consent for endless conflict.Blumenthal details how his experiences living in Israel, interacting with dissenters and military officials alike, revealed a society shaped by expansionist ideology and the erasure of Palestinian life. He confronts the enduring silence of both the liberal Zionist establishment and the Arab world, dissecting how propaganda, reputational attacks, and shifting political movements in the United States work to shield Israel from accountability.In a conversation that asks hard questions about identity, solidarity, and the future of democracy, Blumenthal not only discusses the impossibility of the two-state solution but also examines how the very definition of Jewish statehood is intrinsically tied to dispossession. The episode challenges audiences to reckon with uncomfortable truths and to question the narratives that define mainstream discussion of Israel–Palestine, American foreign policy, and the limits of dissent.

Katie is joined by Palestinian journalist and writer Ramzey Baroud to talk about Gaza, where he was born, and Israel's Holocaust.
