Using the multiverse-adjacent Quantum Unfolding Chamber, Chris confronts a mirrored version of his life in an alternate reality—one where his deceased brother is alive and he's a celebrated hero—offering powerful reflections on regret, identity, and what could have been.ABOUT THE SHOW - Alien: Earth --Created by Noah Hawley, Alien: Earth is a bold and unsettling sci-fi horror series set in 2120—two years before the original Alien. In a future dominated by rival mega corporations, humanity has splintered into cyborgs, sentient synths, and hybrids—synthetic bodies infused with human consciousness.

Created by George Lucas, produced by Lucasfilm, and distributed by 20th Century Fox, the original Star Wars trilogy serves as the second act of the nine-episode Skywalker Saga. George Lucas directed Star Wars, with Irvin Kershner and Richard Marquand directing the sequels respectively. Jason and Rob rewind in this special 100th episode to review the space opera trilogy that started it all - Star Wars (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Return of the Jedi (1983). The trilogy of films centres on the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and the tyrannical Galactic Empire, as well as the hero's journey of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) in his quest to become a Jedi under the tutelage of exiled Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) and Yoda (Frank Oz). Luke joins forces with Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), C-3PO (Anthony Daniels), R2-D2 (Kenny Baker), and the Rebel Alliance in facing the Empire and the evil Sith Lord Darth Vader (David Prowse / James Earl Jones).

Hello everyone and welcome back to our show where this week we are discussing one of my favourite movie franchises of all time; Indiana Jones. We discuss the original trilogy (the past), the recent two movies (the present) and the fact Disney and LucasFilm are in talks about rebooting the franchise with a new actor in various forms, TV series and movies... (the future). AND no show discussing Indiana Jones could happen without us discussing "that problem" highlighted in the sitcom: The Big Bang Theory ... did it really ruin a great film? As always if you want to get in touch with us you can via our various social media accounts, via your podcast app, join us on Discord or email the show: sam@stuffandthangspodcast.com We hope you all enjoy!
Two wildly different movie reviews this week with Caught Stealing, and The Thursday Murder Club and boy are they wildly different movies as well. Plus, James Gunn announces a Superman sequel, Amazon gives us our new Laura Croft, and Call of Duty is headed to the big screen. Also, Prefect Dark wasn't as dead as we thought, well, it is now, Konami made an interesting choice for Metal Gears return. That and more.
In show business, “after the holiday” — Labor Day, that is — are the three magic words that make August a breeze and September feel like back to school. But for Rob Long, it actually does mean back to school, as he starts his second year in the Master of Divinity program at Princeton Theological Seminary, and comes one step closer to his goal of pitching a multi-camera comedy while wearing a priest's collar. If Rob had his way, though, we'd all be back in the classroom. Why? If Disney, owner of Lucasfilm and Marvel, can't reach young male audiences, then we all need a core curriculum — one with every installment of the Porky's franchise, Caddyshack and Taken.

In Episode 141, hosts Alyce and Laura demand* justice for Luke's cancelled Tosche Station plans. Those power converters aren't going to pick up themselves!Beware, movie prop auction houses have hidden fees for those buying $2 million lightsabers. Rich people - they're just like us!If an Allen Wrench is good enough for film-grade lightsabers, it's good enough for your Ikea bookshelf.I guess we can finally be confident that Star Wars: Starfighter will actually get made (I mean, it has a cast and everything now).Auntie Alyce, The Elder: Mullet ExpertAh yes, the classic villain in Ahsoka season 1: Babylon. Babylon Skull will return in S2. That was definitely his name.Speaking of, should we do an Ahsoka S1 re-watch? We're thinking we should do an Ahsoka S1 re-watch. Some folks have seen a sneak peak of season 3 of Star Wars Visions and we particularly enjoyed this review of what was shown at Anime NYC.No more streaming series for you!

In this episode, we dive into the surprising settlement between Gina Carano and Disney/Lucasfilm that wrapped up in early August 2025. Fired from The Mandalorian in 2021 over controversial social media posts—most notably, a comparison involving the Holocaust—Carano sued for wrongful termination, backed by Elon Musk through his platform, XFast forward to August 7th (or 8th, depending on your time zone): Carano and Disney settled the lawsuit. Both parties publicly expressed positivity—Carano called it “the best outcome for all parties involved,” while Lucasfilm commented that she was “always well respected,” and they're open to working together in the futureWe'll unpack what this means for Carano's career and whether this paves the way for her return to the Star Wars universe. Could Cara Dune make a comeback? What could her role look like if she does—and under what circumstances might Disney and Lucasfilm bring her back into the fold? We'll explore fan reactions, industry context, and what this precedent-setting settlement might signal about “cancel culture,” corporate values, and creative expressionGo follow Matt: https://linktr.ee/supergainsbrosGo follow Ez: https://linktr.ee/theflannelwizardFriends, the Flannel Wizard is here to guide you through some of my favorite fandoms include: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Wheel of Time, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, and many more.

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam kicks things off with a rant about his recent trip to the car wash, where a worker left tape stuck to his rear window wiper. He then shares stories from his time in San Diego, including a bizarre run-in with a crazy homeless guy. This leads to a deeper conversation about Los Angeles's homelessness crisis and an old hit piece on Dr. Drew, written when he volunteered to join the L.A. Homeless Services Authority. The article, headlined “Dr. Drew eyed for homeless commission, angering advocates who wonder: Is this a joke?”, becomes a jumping-off point for Adam to break down the politics and media spin surrounding the situation.Later, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins the show to discuss the latest headlines, starting with the dramatic moment NASCAR driver Connor Zilisch was rushed to the hospital after a post-race celebration went wrong. The 19-year-old had just scored a major win at Watkins Glen when he fell from the roof of his car, knocking himself out in front of the crowd. They also cover the backlash to David Justice's remarks about his ex-wife Halle Berry, where he claimed her lack of domestic habits played a role in their split—sparking a wave of online defense for Berry. Rounding out the segment, Adam and Mayhem react to news of Gina Carano settling her lawsuit with Disney and Lucasfilm, a case centered on her claim she was wrongfully fired from The Mandalorian for her political views, with speculation about what “future opportunities” with the studio might mean.In the vlog, Adam welcomes businessman and philanthropist Rick Caruso for a candid conversation about L.A.'s future. Rick shares whether he's considering another run for mayor, gives an inside look at his Palisades Rec Center renovation, and explains how he protected his own properties — and why a private fire department might be the smartest investment you can make.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH RICK CARUSO:WEBSITE: www.caruso.comINSTAGRAM: @rickcarusolaFOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: www.mayhemnow.com Thank you for supporting our sponsors:Go to https://hometitlelock.com/adamcarolla and use promo code ADAM to get a FREE title history report so you can find out if you're already a victim AND 14 days of protection for FREE!
