Read transcriptSome duels are fought with cards. Some are fought with dice. And then some… are fought with the Game Boy Advance's eternal struggle against decent menu navigation. This week on Play Comics, we're shuffling up and drawing into Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler and World Championship Tournament 2004, two games that take everything we love about Yu-Gi-Oh!, monsters, strategy, friendship laser beams, and cram it into a tiny cartridge that smells faintly of childhood and battery corrosion. Joining Chris for this summoning circle of digital nostalgia is David from Anime Field Guide, who brings the kind of anime expertise that makes you question whether your life points can drop below zero if you cringe too hard at English dub dialogue. Together, they'll explore why these particular duels feel like being trapped in a friendship-branded fever dream, complete with turn-based confusion and more “draw phase” puns than anyone asked for. So grab your duel disk, blow into that GBA cartridge like it owes you rent, and prepare to enter a world where forbidden memories and confusing mechanics go hand-in-hand. It's the heart of the cards… but maybe also a faint cry for a player's guide. Learn such things as: Whether the heart of the cards can survive low battery warnings. The surprising crossover between duel monsters and chaos theory. Why Destiny Board Traveler isn't just Monopoly with a Yu-Gi-Oh skin. And so much more! You can find David on BlueSky @anifieldguide.bsky.social, Threads @anifieldguide, and of course hear him over at Anime Field Guide.

It's Valentine's Day, so we're taking one last look at the non-1999 landscape before we return to 1999 next week with the movie that reset the standard for romantic comedies, Rob Reiner's When Harry Met Sally. Joining us is returning friend of the pod Dan Colón, co-host of our podcast network's very own The Monsters that Made Us. We talk Crystal, Ryan, Carrie Fisher, Barry Sonnenfeld, and if we've really seen a romantic comedy since (not called Notting Hill) that has come close to reaching its considerable romcom heights.

Sadie calls Luke (for KING & COUNTRY) and Courtney Smallbone “the realest deal,” and she's absolutely right. From how they first met to falling in love, Luke and Courtney share their backwards Cinderella dating story — and what it actually looked like to live out their vows in the early years of marriage. In sickness and in health… and then some. Through disease, terrifying moments with their baby, unexpected surgeries, addiction, and rehab, they get real about how hardship and suffering didn't break them—it built their faith, strengthened their love, and shaped a marriage that reflects God's love in a way only He can. Plus, Luke shares the backstory behind for KING & COUNTRY's “Burn the Ships,” and Sadie recalls how the song specifically impacted her, too.

We will explain how they work, some fascinating facts and also relate them to your life now - and how they evolved millions of years ago. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The biggest money glow-ups rarely come from one big decision. They come from the small changes you stack without realising how much they’re adding up. So this episode is all about the small, low-effort money habits that have made our community richer. We talk about the tiny switches that stop impulse spending, the boring admin that pays you back, and the systems that run in the background so you don’t have to. If you like the idea of “lazy girl finance” but still want real results, this one’s for you.In this ep:

Today's episode isn't about making you comfortable. It's about breaking you free—from the golden calf of confidence in yourself to the unshakable foundation of Godfidence. Paul M. Neuberger doesn't hold back. He exposes the counterfeit gospel of self-reliance that saturates our boardrooms, churches, and social feeds. He draws a hard line between the world's applause and the Lord's approval.Want the easy road? This message isn't for you. Want a faith that can stand the storm—not because of who you are, but because of who God is? Then lean in.Will you keep trusting yourself… or will you surrender, obey, and lead with Godfidence when your trial comes?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in truth."Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." –Proverbs 3:5Episode Highlights:01:29 – But Scripture tells a very different story. The Bible never tells us to believe in ourselves. It tells us to die to ourselves. It never tells us to trust our hearts. It warns us that our hearts deceive us. And it never presents self confidence as the solution to a broken world. It presents surrender to a sovereign God.07:32 – And until we confront this counterfeit gospel head on, we're going to continue producing confident Christians who are spiritually ineffective, emotionally fragile, and easily shaken when God calls them to do something that they can't control. Confidence makes us impressive. Godfidence makes us obedient. And obedience, not confidence, is what heaven responds to.41:42 – Confidence will never be enough. It may get you noticed, it may get you promoted, it may get you applause, but it will never sustain you when obedience costs you something. Only God confidence can do that.Connect with Paul M.

On this crossover episode with Steve & Izzy from Everything I Learned From Movies we discuss the 1991 film 'Highway to Hell.' The conversation includes key plot points where the protagonist Charlie fights to rescue his fiancée Rachel from a demonic cop in a hellish landscape, encountering bizarre characters played by the Stiller family and Gilbert Gottfried. The script highlights the comedic and campy elements of the film, its financial failure, and comparisons to other movies. Reviews from the participants vary from appreciation of its humor and special effects to criticisms of its execution. Parallels are drawn to Greek tragedies and other similar films, and the discussion concludes with beer recommendations and fun facts about the movie's production and reception. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00:00 Izzy's Movie Recommendation 00:02:21 Highway to Hell Movie Discussion Begins 00:03:38 Cast and Crew Insights 00:06:30 Plot Breakdown and Analysis 00:15:29 Car Talk and Movie Details 00:25:01 The Hell Cop Encounter 00:28:39 Sam's Garage and the Special Shotgun 00:29:39 The Bear and Its Significance 00:32:11 Pluto's Diner and the Stiller Clan 00:33:37 The Biker Gang and Their Leader 00:34:43 Charlie's Journey Through Hell 00:39:03 The Satanic Mechanic and Bezel 00:41:05 The Road to Hell City 00:42:20 Hoffa's Club and the R-Rated Scene 00:53:51 The Devil's Lair and the Final Confrontation 00:59:13 The Legion Army and Faith Walls 00:59:54 The Chase Continues; Bezel's Garage and the Devil's Revelation 01:01:51 The Race for Adam's Soul 01:02:59 The Final Showdown 01:07:07 Epilogue, Reflections and Fun Facts! ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram

We finally did it. We went to a non-Disney theme park… and it completely changed how we see Disney.After a family trip to San Diego and our first-ever visit to SeaWorld, we talk about the good, the confusing, and the expensive. From incredible animal encounters and empty rides to paid lockers, pricey food, and a roller coaster that nearly traumatized Tim, this day gave us a lot to think about.Then we stopped at Disneyland on the way home and everything snapped into focus. Food prices, quality, crowd control, cast members, and the little details Disney gets right without you even noticing.We also cover online reactions to our SeaWorld posts, a monorail breakdown evacuation we narrowly avoided, current Disneyland crowd vibes, and how we're rethinking our last-day Disney tradition to end trips on a happier note.If you've ever wondered whether Disney is really “worth it,” this episode might surprise you.

The scriptures clearly teach that all three members of the Trinity were active during the Genesis creation. But that leads to the natural question: What exactly is the Trinity? Why do Christians believe in one God, not three? And how could Jesus be present in the book of Genesis, when he wasn't born until the Book of Matthew?

Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! ⁠https://shorturl.at/hekk2⁠ With the holiday season in full swing, Tara & Aaron RETURN To give their Groundhog Day Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review!! Tara Erickson & Aaron Alexander react to Groundhog Day (1993)_, the beloved romantic comedy–fantasy classic directed by Harold Ramis (Caddyshack, Ghostbusters) that turned a high-concept time-loop into one of the most thoughtful and endlessly rewatchable films of all time. Set in the small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, the movie follows arrogant TV weatherman Phil Connors, played by Bill Murray (Ghostbusters, Lost in Translation), whose routine assignment covering Groundhog Day takes a surreal turn when he finds himself reliving the same day over and over again. As Phil becomes trapped in the time loop, the film charts his journey from sarcasm and self-indulgence to despair, reinvention, and ultimately empathy. Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Sex, Lies, and Videotape) stars as Rita Hanson, Phil's producer and moral compass, whose kindness and integrity become the measuring stick for Phil's personal growth. The cast is rounded out by Chris Elliott (Schitt's Creek, There's Something About Mary) as the endlessly enthusiastic cameraman Larry, whose optimism contrasts hilariously with Phil's growing frustration. Iconic moments include Phil's first realization that time is looping, his repeated wake-up to “I Got You Babe”, the escalating montage of failed escapes and reckless experiments, the poignant piano-and-ice-sculpture redemption arc, and the film's quietly romantic finale that redefines what it means to truly change. Balancing sharp comedy with existential reflection, Groundhog Day remains a timeless story about second chances, self-improvement, and learning how to live a meaningful life — even if it takes forever.

Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 With the holiday season in full swing, Tara & Aaron RETURN To give their Groundhog Day Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review!! Tara Erickson & Aaron Alexander react to Groundhog Day (1993)_, the beloved romantic comedy–fantasy classic directed by Harold Ramis (Caddyshack, Ghostbusters) that turned a high-concept time-loop into one of the most thoughtful and endlessly rewatchable films of all time. Set in the small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, the movie follows arrogant TV weatherman Phil Connors, played by Bill Murray (Ghostbusters, Lost in Translation), whose routine assignment covering Groundhog Day takes a surreal turn when he finds himself reliving the same day over and over again. As Phil becomes trapped in the time loop, the film charts his journey from sarcasm and self-indulgence to despair, reinvention, and ultimately empathy. Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Sex, Lies, and Videotape) stars as Rita Hanson, Phil's producer and moral compass, whose kindness and integrity become the measuring stick for Phil's personal growth. The cast is rounded out by Chris Elliott (Schitt's Creek, There's Something About Mary) as the endlessly enthusiastic cameraman Larry, whose optimism contrasts hilariously with Phil's growing frustration. Iconic moments include Phil's first realization that time is looping, his repeated wake-up to “I Got You Babe”, the escalating montage of failed escapes and reckless experiments, the poignant piano-and-ice-sculpture redemption arc, and the film's quietly romantic finale that redefines what it means to truly change. Balancing sharp comedy with existential reflection, Groundhog Day remains a timeless story about second chances, self-improvement, and learning how to live a meaningful life — even if it takes forever.
