Digger is a loud, surprising, audacious, and sure-to-be-polarizing entry in this year's Oscars race. The film stars Tom Cruise as a powerful oil baron who's helped unleash an existential threat on the world — but that's only the beginning. The looming devastation attracts the attention of the president (John Goodman) and a well-intentioned scientist (Riz Ahmed). The film takes some pretty big narrative swings along the way. But will Digger work for everyone?Want more Tom Cruise?

Tom Cruise is often said to be the last of a dwindling breed: the true movie star. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider the performances that have earned him that designation. The hosts are joined by Tyler Foggatt, a senior editor at The New Yorker and a die-hard “Cruise-head,” who breaks down the chapters of the actor's career. The early “heartthrob years,” marked by films like “Risky Business” and “The Color of Money,” established Cruise's appeal onscreen and catapulted him into projects with respected directors such as Stanley Kubrick and Paul Thomas Anderson. Cruise's affiliation with the Church of Scientology might have torpedoed the career of a different celebrity, but he remains irresistible to audiences, who have shown up at the box office throughout the past decade of his career—which has largely been defined by action flicks and jaw-dropping stuntwork. In “Digger,” the polarizing new film directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, Cruise's performance as a potbellied, aging oil baron is a rare departure from his usual fare. Might it signal another reinvention? “Cruise will probably default back to the formula that he knows works,” Foggatt says. “But maybe we'll get a couple ‘Digger's between now and then.”  Read, watch, and listen with the critics: “Digger” (2026) “Risky Business” (1983) “The Color of Money” (1986) “Cocktail” (1988) “Jerry Maguire” (1996)  “Born on the Fourth of July” (1989) “Magnolia” (1999)  “Valkyrie” (2008) The “Mission: Impossible” movies (1999-) “War of the Worlds” (2005) New episodes drop every Thursday.

AVA GLASS Learn more about Ava Glass at https://www.avaglass.uk Ava Glass is the UK's biggest selling female spy writer with over 2million copies sold, who writes about the world of female spies from firsthand experience and has been dubbed the “female heir to James Bond” by James Patterson and “the new Queen of spy fiction” by The Guardian. Having worked in British intelligence for just shy of a decade, Ava Glass uses her novels to reveal the hidden world of female espionage in compelling and realistic spy writing that shatters the James Bond stereotype. Ava Glass's fourth novel The Hiding Season is published by Penguin Cornerstone in paperback on 13th August and explores the damage that spies do to those who accidentally cross their path, something Ava has experienced herself. In a completely fresh direction for Ava Glass, The Hiding Season is set in America's wild west state of Montana following an ordinary American woman running for her life after she witnesses the murder of one of America's most powerful senators – the perfect read for fans of hit shows The Night Manger and Yellowstone. Her many years working with MI6, MI5 and the FIB, mean that Ava Glass (not her real name) has signed the official secrets act, has been befriended, vetted and duped by spies, seen everything from the real Bond Girls – Britain's brigade of female spies; participated in terrorist simulations on British soil - where the British Government blow up more buildings than a Mission Impossible film so spies can practice for the real thing; and has some brilliant stories to share from the secret spy nod, secret spy doors, to why not to tussle with a spy in public. Prior to working with MI5 and MI6, Glass had a previous career as a crime reporter in the USA covering murders & kidnappings alongside the FBI and has written for the New York Times and Reuters. Ava also frequently appears on BBC Radio 4 and Sky News covering the latest spy stories. Current Release THE HIDING SEASON PENGUIN | 13 AUGUST 2026 Trust no one. Move fast. From the UK Queen of spy fiction, comes a brilliant new spy novel set in the heart of America. Exploring the damage that spies can do to those who become entangled with them, The Hiding Season follows an ordinary woman running for her life after she witnesses the murder of one of America's most powerful senators. Escaping from a broken marriage, Maya Landry moves to Bozeman, Montana, the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Working at an exclusive private ski-resort in the off season, Maya's new life of quiet reflection in the mountains is going exactly as she'd hoped . . . until she stumbles across a dead body. With no phone signal, she races down the mountain to get help. But when she returns with the police, the body is gone and no-one believes her. Later that night Maya is told by FBI agent Riley Maguire that if she doesn't leave the state tonight, she'll be dead by morning. Forced to change her identity, leave everything behind and move across the country, Maya trusts Riley to keep her safe. But, when her hiding place is compromised, should she trust him? And are the feelings she's having towards him too good to be true? From a ski lodge in the Rocky Mountains to the Dirty Sixth in Austin, and from an anonymous safehouse in Texas to the headquarters of the FBI in Chicago, this is a page-turning, pulse-pounding thriller that explores the collateral damage of an FBI operation gone wrong.

Digger | Auf diesen Tom-Cruise-Film waren wir nicht vorbereitet [Werbung]: PodcastsKostenlos.de ist ein kostenloser Podcast-Player, den du auf jedem Gerät direkt im Browser nutzen kannst. Hör die Folgen deiner Lieblingspodcasts ohne Konto, ohne App und ohne Download. Tom Cruise, wahrscheinlich der letzte echte Filmstar unserer Zeit, hat immer wieder bewiesen, dass er mehr kann, als in Blockbustern wie „Mission: Impossible“ und „Top Gun“ zu rennen, zu grinsen und die Welt zu retten. Sein neuester Versuch ist „Digger“: Darin spielt er den skrupellosen Erdölmagnaten Digger Rockwell, dessen Gier die Welt an den Rand des Kollapses bringt. Was also tun? Digger beschließt kurzerhand, selbst den Planeten zu retten. Der neue Film von „Birdman“- und „The Revenant“-Regisseur Alejandro González Iñárritu startet am 1. Oktober in den Kinos. Während Laura mit dem völlig durchgedrehten Film wenig anfangen konnte, war Stu ziemlich begeistert. Warum „Digger“ spalten dürfte, welche Rolle Sandra Hüller spielt und was den Film zugleich so besonders wie anstrengend macht, besprechen die beiden spoilerfrei im Podcast.

What happens when a twelve year old is told she cannot pursue her passion unless she compromises her values? In this episode of the Homeschool Your Kids podcast, guest Elizabeth Flores explains how homeschooling gave her the courage and the time to start her own ballet company after being rejected by a traditional director. It is a powerful look at how alternative education empowers children to become leaders long before they reach adulthood.Host Jae and Elizabeth dive deep into the journey of the New American Youth Ballet. Elizabeth shares fascinating stories from her childhood, including the time she and her mother hired a forty two piece union orchestra for a performance while she was still a teenager. They discuss the many ways homeschooling protects children from the high stress and social noise of traditional school environments, allowing them to focus on their unique talents and character development.The conversation also explores the current state of the arts, the pitfalls of high pressure ballet competitions, and Elizabeth's mission to bring the beauty of dance to nursing homes and hospitals. If you are looking for ways to integrate high level extracurriculars into your homeschool schedule, Elizabeth provides details on her new online classes and an exciting opportunity for students to perform in a New York City production of the Nutcracker. This episode is a must watch for any parent who wants to see their child find their lane and run in it with confidence.https://www.naybdance.org/Elizabeth Flores' ballet journey began when she was 8 in her hometown, Binghamton, NY. At age 11 she was accepted to train with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and from there was accepted to both the London Royal Ballet school and the Bolshoi Ballet Academy (on full scholarship), the latter of which she performed with as a soloist. But Elizabeth's true passion always lay in teaching. ​The mission of NAYB continued to evolve as they sought innovative ways to share music and dance to children of all economic backgrounds. After 9/11, the school offered free ballet lessons and performance opportunities in downtown NYC to any local child affected by the tragedy. In 2015, they aired the first episode of their TV show: New American Youth Ballet Presents!. The show broadcasts weekly on Manhattan Neighborhood Network every Friday at 6pm. She has staged numerous full-length ballets with professional symphony orchestras including: The Nutcracker, The Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, and Coppelia. Her original ballet, Life of a Dancer, which she composed with Dr. Alan Turry, was recently arranged by Hollywood Music arranger Tim Simonec (UP!, Ratatouille, Star Trek, Mission Impossible 3, Whiplash) and recorded in Nashville with a 40 piece professional orchestra. Her original ballet learning musical album, My Ballerina and Me, also written in collaboration with Dr. Alan Turry, was recorded at the Juilliard School of Music. Elizabeth continues to strive to find new ways to merge her two passions, the arts and the community.Chapters0:00 Intro and meeting Elizabeth Flores3:10 Why Elizabeth's family started homeschooling6:45 Starting a ballet school at age twelve10:20 Choosing values over traditional dance companies14:50 Performing with a union orchestra as a teen19:30 Navigating college pressure and expectations24:15 Training at Julliard and the pursuit of excellence29:00 How homeschooling creates a flexible schedule34:10 Avoiding the social noise of public school39:40 The difference between art and competition44:20 Bringing dance to hospitals and nursing homes49:15 Upcoming Nutcracker and online class info52:40 Self care and advice for homeschool moms54:30 Final thoughts and encouragementMake sure to subscribe for more inspiring interviews and resources for your homeschooling journey.

This is Thaao Penghlis's second time on Storybeat. Among Thaao's many talents, he's an actor, writer, director, and podcast creator. If you're a fan of daytime dramas, then you know Thaao from his more than 40 years of playing Tony DiMera and Andre DiMera on Days of Our Lives and Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem. For his work, he's been nominated for three Emmy Awards. In 1989, he starred as disguise master Nicholas Black on the primetime TV series revival of Mission: Impossible. You may have also seen Thaao in various miniseries and movies like: Sadat, Sydney Sheldon's Memories of Midnight, Under Siege, Tribe, and in perhaps his most unusual role, Colonel Godowni, the lover of Dame Edna in the cult classic Les Patterson Saves the World. He's also starred in the films, The Story of Esther, Job's Daughter, Redeemed, and the short film The Secret of Joy that deals with children experiencing cancer. Thaao published his first book, Places, in 2015 to great reviews. It deals with his journeys to the Middle East and the dangers he encountered in Syria, Lebanon and Egypt. His second book Seducing Celebrities One Meal at a Time was released in November 2016, and many of his short stories have been published as well. Thaao's lifelong fascination with Archaeology led him to create the podcast series, The Lost Treasures, which is based on Heinrich Schliemann's discovery of Troy and ‘Mycenaean,' Greece. Most recently, Thaao's been writing, producing and performing his new podcast, The Great Escape. I've listened to the first 3 episodes that have been released and found it to be a riveting dramatization of the story of Joseph, Mary, and the baby Jesus fleeing capture and certain death by Herod's forces. 

This week, Lorne Balfe joins me on The Film Scorer. Lorne has about two-hundred credits to his name across film, TV, and video games, including projects like Top Gun: Maverick, a couple Mission: Impossible films, The Crown, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, and a whole load more. Not a bad resume... Now, although he normally releases about ten scores a year, 2026 has been a much quieter year for him, conducting at the global tour of Top Gun: Maverick in Concert and working on the new adaptation of The Cat in the Hat, coming out in November. We talk about each a little bit, but it also gives us an opportunity to really jump away from focusing on any single project. Instead, Lorne and I spent the hour and a half we had chatting about a pretty wide range of topics, getting really deep into the film scoring industry and the business side around it. We also have a bittersweet moment where we talk about composer and conductor Nick Glennie-Smith, who Lorne knew and worked with for many years before he passed away in mid-August. One note - Lorne and I were chatting away before hitting record, so the interview starts a little in media res. But don't worry, nothing juicy got cut off.

Rob Hollocks has spent more than two decades on both sides of the film business — helping major studios sell some of the biggest films in the world, while ultimately pursuing his ambition to write, direct and produce films of his own.In this episode of Filmmaking Conversations, Damien Swaby sits down with the British-born, Los Angeles-based filmmaker, writer, producer and former studio executive for a wide-ranging conversation about the realities of building a sustainable career in film.Rob takes us inside his years at Paramount Pictures, where his work in international marketing brought him into campaigns connected with films and franchises including Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, Indiana Jones, Mission: Impossible and Star Trek.He explains how studios adapt campaigns for different territories, why an actor who dominates a poster in one country might be secondary in another, how contractual billing affects key art, and who ultimately decides what audiences are being sold. But Rob argues that understanding marketing shouldn't be something filmmakers leave until their film is finished.For independent filmmakers, he believes thinking seriously about audience, positioning and distribution should begin while a project is still being developed — without allowing those commercial considerations to dictate the story itself.The conversation also explores Rob's work in animation and production finance, including his involvement with Riot Games and Netflix's acclaimed series Arcane. Rob explains what managing production finance on a project of that scale actually involves and how huge creative ambitions can coexist with financial discipline.That philosophy carries into his own filmmaking.Through his independent work, Rob has developed an approach he describes as making films that are low-budget, high-quality and commercially responsible — putting as much of the available money as possible onto the screen while paying crews, treating people properly and avoiding unnecessary expenditure.Damien and Rob then examine the journey of Rob's psychological horror thriller The Observance, starring Kate Dailey, Ted Raimi and Alec James.After an international festival run and multiple awards, Rob and his team took an unusually hands-on approach to distribution, retaining control of the film's marketing and securing a limited theatrical release through AMC cinemas in the United States.Rob explains what he discovered about getting an independent film into cinemas, why theatrical distribution may be more accessible than many filmmakers assume, and why filmmakers need to remain the strongest advocates for their work throughout its entire life cycle.That experience also led him to write The Indie Theatrical Playbook, a practical guide containing the templates, checklists and planning tools he developed while navigating his own theatrical campaign.The conversation becomes more personal as Rob reflects on leaving the security and salary of the executive world to become an independent filmmaker. He talks candidly about earning less money, the constant hustle of financing the next project, and wishing he'd had the confidence to pursue directing much earlier.Rob also shares the childhood experiences behind his love of cinema: his mother vividly retelling the Hammer horror films he wasn't allowed to watch, Sunday afternoon Westerns with his father, discovering the 1933 King Kong at school, and sitting through Raiders of the Lost Ark three times in the cinema — years before he would find himself working with the Indiana Jones franchise at Paramount.It's a conversation about something filmmakers sometimes prefer not to discuss: making the film is only part of the job. Original theatrical trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nov3gaDj_MgStreaming trailer: https://youtu.be/xRDBESIZcYAThis is the viral website (in -world) and  has the viral video 'sermons'  we did for the  US theatrical:  https://theobservance.com/The UK Apple link:  https://tv.apple.com/gb/movie/the-observance/umc.cmc.1pmsko668w97s5b772dmdj7ijRob's website: https://robhollocks.com/#c1ccd530-40b9-4821-aba3-8248c23f2049Book:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Indie-Theatrical-Playbook-releasing-independent-ebook/dp/B0GQRJ4C2J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=25C24Q57M9UE6&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1Tis5f4DOTPOVCHdppik7g.p3EEm_EZ-Sed8C30Tb88EBs-sMKuZSOTCBeg7_CADYo&dib_tag=se&keywords=indie+theatrical+playbook&qid=1788279505&sprefix=indie+theatrical+playboo%2Caps%2C288&sr=8-1

#CruiseClub is back after a three-plus year hiatus to close out (?) the Mission: Impossible franchise with Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning! After examining the COVID-related delays with this (and how that delay may have impacted the story), we compare Dead Reckoning to Final Reckoning and admire the ways in which this movie ties together disparate parts of the franchise. Is there a future for this franchise? If so, what does it look like? We discuss about what that may look like, and we compare M:I to other franchises that seemingly refuse to die. We talk about the somewhat unusual team that Ethan finishes the movie with, AI as a villain, and the visual storytelling and visual editing on display in Final Reckoning that feels fresh. We also talk about how the size and scale of this movie manages to not betray its genre, we admire the characters and actors new to the franchise in this movie, and heap praise on the way Simon Pegg has leveled up as an actor.

Pastor Jack shares how God often calls us to take on what seems like a “Mission Impossible.” Through faith, obedience, and trust in God's Word, the impossible becomes possible—not because of our own strength, but because God provides the power and resources to accomplish what He has called us to do.

Retro and current gen gaming chat, with Trev and Stu, its the Console Shockcast! How did we go from games like ET and Wayne's World to GoldenEye and Robocop: Rogue City? Trev and Stu take a nostalgic look at the strange world of movie-licensed games, from the countless cash-ins of the 8-bit and 16-bit eras to the genuinely great titles that proved a movie tie-in could be much more than a quick cash grab. Movie tie-ins galore! We look back at the era when virtually every major film seemed to get a game, from Robocop and Rambo to Independence Day and The Phantom Menace. Alien games — from Alien Trilogy to Alien Resurrection, we discuss why the Alien franchise has had a surprisingly strong track record when it comes to video games. Robocop vs Terminator — we revisit some of the best and worst games based on these iconic 80s action franchises, including Robocop 3 and Terminator Resistance. Star Wars and beyond — why some of the best Star Wars games weren’t actually based directly on the films, plus a look at how other franchises expanded beyond their movie stories. The PS1/N64 movie-game explosion — Die Hard Trilogy, GoldenEye, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible and Independence Day all get a mention as we remember one of the golden eras for licensed games. The bad stuff! Wayne’s World, Back to the Future, Batman Forever, Charlie’s Angels and plenty of other questionable tie-ins remind us that not every movie needed a video game. Games that never happened — we pitch movies that should have received their own games, including a rather brilliant idea for a Star Trek: First Contact FPS starring Captain Picard against the Borg. From movies to games… and back again! We finish by flipping things around and discussing which video games could make great movies, including Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid and Heavy Rain.

Trump evades Iran via catering truck, Pete Hegseth's Pentagon is a disaster, and Jared pays off a gangster and drug trafficker as part of his Albanian island takeover.This week Tommy and Ben cover shocking new info on how Trump hid from Iran on his way back from the NATO summit in Turkey, leaving his staff and the press behind as decoys. They shake off their déjà vu to dig into the latest developments in Iran and Israel before touching down in Yemen as the conflict between the internationally recognized Yemeni government and the Houthis heats up. In London, a brave Sudanese protester calls out the UAE's prime minister for underwriting the war in Sudan. Over at the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth continues to try to remake the military in MAGA's image, but still finds time to blame an underling for our dire munitions shortage and cozy up to defense contractors. They dig into the strategy behind Ukraine's attacks on Wildberries (the Amazon.com of Russia), Jared Kushner's payout to a gangster in his quest to steal an island from Albania, the grim news on Ebola and Trump's inaction on the crisis, and why Claude is coming for political speechwriters. Then, Ben speaks to Richard Horsey of the International Crisis Group about the state of play in Myanmar, how coup leader and now-president Min Aung Hlaing is making diplomatic inroads with his neighbors, and the recent—and rare—glimpse of Myanmar's detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi.Hate listening to ads?

"Good morning, Mr. Phelps." If you were a fan of the old school classic TV series, "Mission: Impossible," you would know those words always began a riveting adventure. Jim Phelps was the head of all the Mission Impossible Force before all the big movies, you know. He would listen to this tape, outlining this assignment that seemed, well, impossible. Key word–seemed. And even in more modern times when it's not a tape anymore, and when it's Tom Cruise who's doing Mission: Impossible, it's still sort of the same idea. You begin building a team of specialists, you concoct this elaborate, perfectly-timed plan to do what couldn't be done, and every time they get it done. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "No Such Thing as Mission Impossible." That's the conclusion you reached after watching that show for a while. For them, there's just no such thing as mission impossible. That's great fantasy stuff. It's a much greater reality when it comes to rescue missions undertaken by the One of whom the Bible says, "For with God, nothing shall be impossible" (Luke 1:37). That might be important for you to know right now, because there's a person in your life that seems beyond His reach. Well, wait a minute! There's no such person. The living proof of that is our word for today from the Word of God. Saul, the man leading the crusade to eradicate the early Christians. He is on the way from Jerusalem to Damascus to round up more of those hated believers. Acts 9:3 says, "As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?' 'Who are You, Lord?' Saul asked. 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting...'" After this dramatic encounter with Jesus, the Bible says, "Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. For three days he was blind..." You probably know that this persecutor of Jesus' followers will ultimately become the greatest proclaimer of Jesus in the world; the world-changing Apostle Paul. I cannot imagine anyone in the world of the early Christians whom they would have considered a greater "mission impossible." But there's no such thing when it comes to God, including that person in your life who seems to be so hard, so far from God, so antagonistic, so impossible to get through to. In fact, maybe you've almost stopped believing, stopped seeking opportunities to point them in Jesus' direction. Maybe you've even stopped praying very much for them. Please, don't stop going to God on their behalf. Ask God, "Lord, do whatever it takes within Your will to get through to their heart." That's a powerful prayer...the "whatever it takes" prayer. He may have to knock them off their high horse, as He did Paul. He may have to bring them to a position where they're helpless, as He did with Saul. He may have to show up dramatically in front of them, but Jesus didn't die for them just to give up on them now. As you pray, this very moment, Jesus the ultimate Mission Impossible Man, is moving people, He's moving events to bring someone you love face to face with Him. You may not even be here for the answer to your prayers, but God has this promise for you in Galatians 6:9, "we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Mission Impossible? For Jesus, there's no such thing.

We're learning today that President Trump participated in a kind of magical act -- or spy stunt -- when returning from the NATO summit in Turkey. According to the Washington Post, the President boarded Air Force One (in full view of everyone else), then stealthily left the plane on a catering cart and boarded another plane to fly home. Greg and Holly discuss this kind of real-life "Mission: Impossible" scenario involving the President.

“Wake up, Claire, Jim's dead! They're all dead!” Is the subtle way Tom Cruise's super-cool spy Ethan Hunt tells a woman her husband's been killed a cipher for the rest of Brian De Palma's slick and shiny 1996 thriller?

This episode is sponosored by Hulu. Stream PRISON BREAK on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ Internationally. Sarah Wayne Callies and Paul Adelstein compare this episodes' stealthy Scylla-heist set pieces to Entrapment and Mission: Impossible, including trivia that the Mission: Impossible theme rhythm spells “M-I” in Morse code. They praise director Kevin Hooks' dynamic camera movement and staging, note the episode's original airdate (Nov. 17, 2008) and 5.5 million live viewers, and touch on 2008 music news (AC/DC's Black Ice; CMA and AMA winners). Their deeper conversation focuses on Michael's worsening brain tumor and the confusing logic of him avoiding the hospital while still doing intense physical work, plus “honeypot” seduction tactics failing for Gretchen (and earlier for Sara) but working better as a long con for Trishanne, leading into thoughts on Gretchen's trauma bond with the General. They also discuss gamma knife surgery, speculate whether the tumor storyline functioned as a possible behind-the-scenes “exit ramp” for Michael/Wentworth Miller while still serving the drama, and answer fan questions about Sara's evolving bond with Lincoln and whether Michael's refusal of surgery hurts Sara or reflects his stubborn hero complex.

Patrick plunges into the fallout from COVID-19, dissecting shifting narratives around public health, mixed messages from authorities, and the emotional toll on listeners facing mandates, coercion, and suspicion of pharmaceutical campaigns. He moves quickly to challenge misconceptions about the Catholic Church’s history with vernacular Bible translations, offers plain answers on moral issues borrowed from movies, and fields rapid-fire questions on everything from sacramental marriage for converts to the best study Bibles for Catholics. Spirited calls and tough questions swirl together as Patrick weighs faith, fear, and the search for truth, all without missing a beat.

Jessica Chastain pitches Simon Kinberg an all-female Mission Impossible on the set of Dark Phoenix, and the result stars Chastain, Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger, Lupita Nyong'o, and Fan Bingbing chasing a drive that can hack anything on Earth (“like ghosts in a machine”). On paper: perfect. On screen: a movie that went to the trope store and said, I'll take one of everything. Silent helicopter? Check. Give us the room? CHECK.Greg explains why he loves this movie more than probably anybody besides Simon Kinberg and will rewatch it every other year for the rest of his life. Joe blames the writing. Together, they try to figure out how a cast this stacked made a movie with a 24% on Rotten Tomatoes… And an 86% from the audience.

Blurb: On today's page, ⁠Chullin 89, the rabbis continue their exploration of the laws of kashrut, prompting a modern question they never could have imagined: plant-based meat. Recorded around a barbecue table in upstate New York, this special summer episode with Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin and producer Josh Kross explores whether kosher versions of traditionally forbidden foods honor the spirit of Jewish law—or undermine it. If Impossible Pork is kosher, should you eat it? Listen and find out.

Did America ever manage to create its own James Bond? This episode traces Hollywood's long hunt for an American James Bond, with historian Alan J. Porter. Long before Sean Connery picked up a Walther PPK, an American actor played Bond first. His name was Barry Nelson, and he showed up on live TV, not the movie screen. We explore how that happened, and why almost nobody remembers it today. Alan Porter wrote James Bond: The History of the Illustrated 007. He also hosts On Her Majesty's Secret Service Podcast. He joins us to unpack the strange story behind Casino Royale '54. We also dig into Hollywood's decades-long attempt to build its own 007. From Derek Flint to Jason Bourne to Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible, American studios keep trying to build a rival for Bond. Does any character actually come close? We compare their style, charisma, and mythology to the real thing. Alan shares two surprising figures nicknamed the American James Bond. One was a real Cold War-era CIA agent. The other is a modern TV action hero. Plus, we preview Alan's upcoming book, Too Many Bonds: The Making of Casino Royale '67. We also talk about his work with the Ian Fleming Foundation. So did America ever truly crack the code on its own 007? Press play and find out.

It's a potpourri episode this week, as we combined our "what we've been playing" session with some casual chat we had on air during last stream's recording.

The core ideaIn a world saturated with division, cancel culture, hostility, and information overload, ILLUSION asks a question few are willing to confront: What if the way we form beliefs is the root of our separation? Blending science, archaeology, and philosophy, ILLUSION challenges one of humanity's deepest assumptions: that unity requires sameness. The film explores the idea that beliefs are not absolute truths we discover, but constructs we inherit, absorb, and defend — shaping how we see reality, ourselves, and each other.At its core, ILLUSION reveals a paradox: the more we insist on one singular truth, the more divided we become. What we've been taught as harmony, the need to think alike to coexist, may itself be the illusion. Instead, the film offers a different vision: reality is not built from one perspective, but from many. Like a complex geometric structure, each viewpoint is a necessary angle of a larger whole. True coexistence doesn't come from agreement, but from the ability to hold multiple perspectives at once.More than a documentary, ILLUSION is a mirror — inviting audiences to question whether their beliefs are truly their own, or patterns inherited from the world around them. Because the future of humanity may not depend on becoming one, but on understanding how we are many.Melissa TittlFounder & CEOMy life mission has been dedicated to producing content that helps forward humanity.
