Don't blame women. Men are failing spectacularly and it's totally their own fault. In What Is Wrong with Men, cultural critic Jessica Crispin borrows from Michael Douglas movies to dissect how masculinity devolved from Seventies style vulnerability into today's aggressive displays of insecurity. While billionaires like Musk compulsively impregnate women and Zuckerberg learns jujitsu to feel "manly," basement-dwelling incels worship sex traffickers like Andrew Tate. The old patriarchy died in the 1980s, Crispin argues, but men refuse to adapt, expecting the world to revolve around them instead of building female-style support systems. It's the Michael Douglas Trap. From Gordon Gekko's greed to crypto-gambling bros, modern masculinity has degenerated into a grotesque performance of insecurity—and it's getting worse. 1. Modern masculinity is trapped between dead patriarchy and refusal to adapt Crispin argues that traditional patriarchal structures collapsed in the 1980s, but men still expect the world to revolve around them instead of building new support systems like women did. KEY QUOTE: "The world is supposed to adapt to men. Men are not supposed to adopt to the world."2. Billionaire masculinity reveals desperate insecurity despite ultimate success Even the world's richest men obsessively seek validation through physical transformation and procreation, proving that external markers of success no longer provide masculine identity. KEY QUOTE: "Nothing is ever enough anymore. And so that's why you see Elon Musk will never stop having children, never stop fathering children. Jeff Bezos will never have enough money to be satisfied."3. The 1980s created a fantasy of male rejection to mask female-initiated abandonment As women initiated two-thirds of divorces, Hollywood created the "midlife crisis" narrative where men chose to leave, protecting male ego from the reality of being unwanted. KEY QUOTE: "There was this sort of fantasy that was being created at the time of the male midlife crisis, where a kind of, you can't fire me, I quit. Fantasy was being generated."4. Today's male influencers have inverted basic human connection into pathology The evolution from 1970s male vulnerability to Andrew Tate's misogyny represents a complete rejection of emotional intimacy and romantic love. KEY QUOTE: "Andrew Tate does not fall in love, you know, he sexually violates, he's charged with sex trafficking... You can't hold a woman's hand, that's gay. You can have sex with women, that is gay."5. The crisis requires material solutions, not emotional band-aids Rather than teaching boys to cry, society needs to address the gambling-based economy and lack of meaningful work that creates destructive masculine behaviors. KEY QUOTE: "You're not gonna be able to fight against that just by learning how to cry... This is about making sure people have steady employment, making sure that people have study income, making sure the people have health care and community."Nothing explains everything. Not even Michael Douglas movies. But just as women like setting traps, men love stumbling into them. I'm not convinced by Crispin's reading of Hollywood movies. Men have always been making fools of themselves on screen - from Jimmy Stewart in Vertigo to the equally pathetic Douglas in Wall Street. Everything is supposed to be in crisis in America these days: from democracy to capitalism to masculinity. But if crisis means that men (or women) aren't quite sure how to behave around the other sex, then they've been in crisis forever. So I'm unconvinced. No doubt because I'm in crisis.

This week, we've been seduced by the legendary 1992 erotic thriller "Basic Instinct." We talk about Paul Verhoeven, Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone, and why they literally could not make this movie today. Listen now.
The second half of Soderbergh's unbelievable year 2000 was TRAFFIC, his sprawling adaptation of the 1989 Channel 4 miniseries about the many sides of the drug trade. At the time, it was hailed as a highly nuanced and humane look at narcotics. But how does it look from 2025? Joining us to discuss is professor and author of our much-cited Quick Fixes: Drugs in America from Prohibition to the 21st Century Binge, Benjamin Y. Fong! We talk macroeconomics, "Mexico filter," drug movies, Benicio Del Toro's accent, and a whole lot more. Really fascinating episode, we hope you enjoy!

Kirk Douglas and Michael Douglas were the driving force behind bringing "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" to the stage and screen. Ken Kesey's popular novel is brought to life on the screen starring Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher. One of the greatest movies of the 1970's is highlighted in The Actors Room podcast hosted by Jeff Torowski.

Discovering the object of the game is the object of the game... It's hard to follow up a classic thriller like Seven, but that's exactly what David Fincher had to do with his next feature film, The Game. Michael Douglas, the man who has everything, is given "The Game" for his birthday. But what is 'the game?' Nobody will tell him. And very quickly, things turn up to 11 - murder, espionage, love, and unexpected trips to Mexico. At the time, this film seems to have been met with a bit of a shrug. But it turns out, decades later, its kinda turned into a cult favorite. Dare we say...another classic? Either way, Josh has never seen it. DON'T SPOIL IT FOR HIM. Buckle up. This one is a ride.
We've been telling Rob for years that he reminds us of Michael Douglas' at-breaking-point character from Falling Down. This week - to celebrate the podcast turning one year old - we sat down to watch the film, and regretted saying that almost immediately. Though we did find plenty to admire in this still alarmingly relevant violent urban rampage. Join us to find out why. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TVC 692.4: A return visit by Dean Butler, the actor known around the world to three generations to television viewers as Almanzo Wilder, Laura Ingalls' husband on Little House on the Prairie. Among other topics this segment, Dean and Ed discuss the forthcoming Netflix reimaging of Little House; Dean's early experiences working as an extra (then, later, as an actor) on The Streets of San Francisco, including sharing screen time with Michael Douglas in the famous Streets episode “The Thrill Killers,” featuring Patty Duke and Susan Dey; and the difference between having a craft for acting and having a facility for it. Dean's memoir, Prairie Man: My Little House Life & Beyond, is available wherever books are sold through Kensington Books, an imprint of Citadel Press. Dean Butler and other cast members from Little House on the Prairie are scheduled to appear at the Little House cast reunion at Columbia State Historic Park in Tuolumne County, California on June 6-7-8, 2025.

In 1997, David Fincher followed up Se7en with what may be his most intricately plotted story with The Game. Michael Douglas continued his time owning the 1990s with another high profile role in Nicholas Van Orton. Joining Douglas is Sean Penn, Deborah Kara Unger, and a supporting cast to drool over. From IMDB: A mysterious game invades a man's ordered existence. Alternate Ending

Join Matt and me for Episode 134 as we tackle A Chorus Line (1985), a movie musical that boldly asked, “What if we took a Broadway masterpiece… and made it worse?” Directed by Richard Attenborough (yes, really) and starring Michael Douglas as Zach (also… yes, really), this adaptation swaps out two iconic songs for original numbers that absolutely no one asked for—and makes the whole thing feel more like an 80s street dance audition than a tribute to Broadway's beating heart.Gone is the original choreography. Gone is the emotional depth. What's left? Perms, sweatbands, and a lot of bewildered sighing from us. We break down the baffling choices, the missed opportunities, and why this one might just top our list of “what were they thinking?” movie musicals.Support the Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Click here to send us a message!This week we're taking a look at two very different queer icons. Musical geniuses Freddie Mercury and Liberace each got the biopic treatment in the 2010's, and each got very different treatment. Behind the Candelabra starred Oscar winners Michael Douglas and Matt Damon and was directed by Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh. Despite the pedigree, only HBO would release it. Bohemian Rhapsody, by contrast, despite a troubled production and a problematic filmmaker, somehow won four Academy Awards in 2019.

We're under a strict “return to office” mandate as we look at two films where the danger is in the workplace: THE TEMP (1993) starring Timothy Hutton and Lara Flynn Boyle trying to make that cheddar in the world of cookies, and DISCLOSURE (1994) where Michael Douglas and Demi Moore deal with Malaysian supply chain issues.

We're diving into this Aaron Sorkin-penned blend of idealism, charm, and sharp political drama, unpacking the chemistry between Michael Douglas and Annette Bening, the dream of a more noble presidency, and what this film says about leadership, image, and the power of personal conviction.

Ten Game-Changing Rulings in the Bryan Kohberger Trial You Need to Know In a pivotal moment for the State of Idaho vs. Bryan Kohberger, the court has officially ruled on a wave of major motions that will shape the upcoming trial over the brutal University of Idaho student murders. In this deep-dive video, we break down exactly what evidence the jury will hear, including explosive expert testimony, digital forensic analysis, and never-before-heard communications from the surviving roommates inside the King Road house on the night of the killings. One of the biggest developments? Bryan Kohberger's defense team attempted to remove the death penalty, arguing that his diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) made capital punishment unconstitutional in his case. The judge denied that motion, making it clear that ASD does not qualify for the same legal protections as intellectual disability under Atkins v. Virginia—a precedent-setting move in Idaho. Meanwhile, the court approved a wide range of expert witnesses for the prosecution, despite objections from the defense. The jury is now expected to hear testimony from: FBI CAST Agent Nicholas Ballance, who analyzed Kohberger's cell phone tower data and drive testing results to place him near the scene before and after the crime. Cellebrite forensic specialists Heather and Jared Barnhart, who uncovered abnormal gaps in Kohberger's digital activity, potentially suggesting deleted data or anti-forensic behavior. FBI forensic accountant Michael Douglass, who tracked shifts in Kohberger's financial behavior, including his sudden switch from debit card usage to cash withdrawals. ISP detective Darren Gilbertson, who conducted physical timed walkthroughs of 1122 King Road, proving one person could allegedly carry out the crimes in under four minutes. Toxicology expert Dr. Gary Dawson, who challenges the multiple-attacker theory by analyzing the victims' level of intoxication during the homicides. But perhaps the most emotionally impactful ruling relates to what the jury will now hear from D.M. and B.F., the two surviving roommates. The court ruled that text messages sent between 4:22 a.m. and 4:26 a.m.—in which D.M. described a man in a ski mask and her intense fear—are admissible under hearsay exceptions. These messages, sent in real time during the murders, offer a raw glimpse into the trauma unfolding inside the house before the bodies were discovered. We also cover the 911 call made nearly 8 hours later, which has been under intense public scrutiny. The court has ruled that most of the call is admissible, and the transcript will be shown alongside the audio in court—but with a few redactions, pending further evidentiary foundation. This detailed breakdown offers everything you need to know about the latest legal developments in the Bryan Kohberger case, including how forensic science, digital evidence, psychological defenses, and real-time trauma responses are converging to form the core of this historic and chilling true crime trial. If you're following the University of Idaho murder trial, the Kohberger defense strategy, or how courts weigh psychological disorders in capital cases, this video provides the clearest and most comprehensive analysis available. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #KohbergerTrial #UniversityOfIdaho #KohbergerEvidence #ForensicAnalysis #ExpertWitnesses #911Call #RoommateTestimony #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ten Game-Changing Rulings in the Bryan Kohberger Trial You Need to Know In a pivotal moment for the State of Idaho vs. Bryan Kohberger, the court has officially ruled on a wave of major motions that will shape the upcoming trial over the brutal University of Idaho student murders. In this deep-dive video, we break down exactly what evidence the jury will hear, including explosive expert testimony, digital forensic analysis, and never-before-heard communications from the surviving roommates inside the King Road house on the night of the killings. One of the biggest developments? Bryan Kohberger's defense team attempted to remove the death penalty, arguing that his diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) made capital punishment unconstitutional in his case. The judge denied that motion, making it clear that ASD does not qualify for the same legal protections as intellectual disability under Atkins v. Virginia—a precedent-setting move in Idaho. Meanwhile, the court approved a wide range of expert witnesses for the prosecution, despite objections from the defense. The jury is now expected to hear testimony from: FBI CAST Agent Nicholas Ballance, who analyzed Kohberger's cell phone tower data and drive testing results to place him near the scene before and after the crime. Cellebrite forensic specialists Heather and Jared Barnhart, who uncovered abnormal gaps in Kohberger's digital activity, potentially suggesting deleted data or anti-forensic behavior. FBI forensic accountant Michael Douglass, who tracked shifts in Kohberger's financial behavior, including his sudden switch from debit card usage to cash withdrawals. ISP detective Darren Gilbertson, who conducted physical timed walkthroughs of 1122 King Road, proving one person could allegedly carry out the crimes in under four minutes. Toxicology expert Dr. Gary Dawson, who challenges the multiple-attacker theory by analyzing the victims' level of intoxication during the homicides. But perhaps the most emotionally impactful ruling relates to what the jury will now hear from D.M. and B.F., the two surviving roommates. The court ruled that text messages sent between 4:22 a.m. and 4:26 a.m.—in which D.M. described a man in a ski mask and her intense fear—are admissible under hearsay exceptions. These messages, sent in real time during the murders, offer a raw glimpse into the trauma unfolding inside the house before the bodies were discovered. We also cover the 911 call made nearly 8 hours later, which has been under intense public scrutiny. The court has ruled that most of the call is admissible, and the transcript will be shown alongside the audio in court—but with a few redactions, pending further evidentiary foundation.

Send us a textKatie and Bridget draw a Mons Pubis on a whiteboard as they re-watch the erotic thriller: Basic Instinct! It's a movie all about how you might think you know who the killer is based on the very first scene of the movie, but actually it might not be that person because there's some other people who could have done it, but then it also might not be them either, all while the original person you thought it was continues to say that they're the killer the entire time but nobody believes them... Look Sharon Stone was the killer alright!! Don't get it twisted! Come along as we meet Nick (aka "Shooter"), a v-neck loving horny cop who's just trying to solve this murder case while also attempting to bone Catherine, the literal murderer even though she never gets convicted for some reason. As Nick becomes more and more of a stalker, people around him begin to die and Catherine becomes more and more cryptic. Kind of like how a killer would act, ya know!? Will the two of them get together and somehow nobody will get stabbed with an ice pick? Are pubes back in style or is that only allowed for 90's Sharon Stone!? Released in 1992, it stars Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone, George Dzundza, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and Leilani Sarelle

Today, we're heading into the heart of Africa to discuss one of the most terrifying true stories you've probably never heard of and described as the “Jaws” of the wild. We're talking about The Ghost and the Darkness, the 1996 thriller based on the true story of two man-eating lions who turned a railroad project into a nightmare. Set in colonial Kenya, it stars Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas as two men facing off against predators who kill not for food... but for sport. We also wanted to take a moment to honor the unforgettable presence of Val Kilmer.@BATTpod on twitterBillBria@billbriahttps://crookedmarquee.com/author/bill-bria/https://www.slashfilm.com/author/billbria/https://billbria.contently.com/billandashterrortheater@gmail.combillandashterrortheater@instagram.com Ashley@AshleyannCoffin https://www.instagram.com/electrical_ash/You can find more from us and our other shows at https://www.strandedpanda.com/

There is much to discuss this week as Mark, Paul and I discuss Adrian Lyne's erotic thriller, 'Fatal Attraction'.
Three games. Different mechanisms. One theme. Which one is the best?!?! Who knows but we talk about which one we like the best and our answers differ. Cause you know opinions are like yada yada yada, they all stink. During 878 Vikings, Enrique and Bubba took on me and Jerry. Bubba plotted. Enrique nervously gnawed his neglected, non nourishing, nugget tainted nails. They won. How? Why? These questions and more go unanswered in this weeks podcast where among other things Jerry also confuses Michael Douglass with his father Kirk in the Vikings movie creating another Rice a Roni like disaster.

This week, we get into Unhinged, or as we like to call it, “Falling Brown”... like the Michael Douglas movie, but with “brown” meaning poop. They really thought they had something like this one with their whole “man is pushed too far” thing, but in order for that to work, the characters need to be written as likeable. BUMMER!Rotund and reckless Russell road-rages ruthlessly rather than reflecting, then rejecting the rules and ramming a Range Rover! Hammer man! Underfunded federales! Idiot adolescent accidentally alerting intruder to area! Minivan mother mockery! Facile feelings for flaming Fred! Pancaked piggies!
