This week, Eric and Josh discuss: The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Monty Python, Night Of The Living Dead, Sneakers, horror vs thriller, Rifftrax, Megadoc, Begotten, and more!

What if the missing piece in your spiritual journey isn't more meditation apps, rituals, or retreats—but something as practical as spiritual intelligence? In this enlightening and surprisingly fun episode, Will & Karen sit down with Dr. Yosi Amram, licensed clinical psychologist, CEO leadership coach, best-selling author, and pioneering researcher in the field of spiritual intelligence. With roots in mystical Judaism, Buddhism, Kundalini Yoga, and the Diamond Approach, Yosi bridges ancient wisdom and modern science to show how spirituality can actually be lived...right here, right now. From gratitude practices that shift your heart in seconds, to reframing life's red lights as blessings in disguise, to uncovering your evolving sense of purpose, Yosi provides listeners with both timeless insight and practical tools they can start using today. Along the way, expect plenty of laughs, like what happens when Will compares spiritual bypassing to Monty Python's “it's just a flesh wound” moment, or when Karen presses Yosi on who really has the higher spiritual intelligence. Spoiler: the answer might surprise you. By the end of this episode, you'll discover that cultivating spiritual intelligence doesn't require quitting your job, moving to a monastery, or renouncing Netflix binges. It's about small, conscious choices that deepen self-awareness, expand compassion, and connect you to a sense of purpose, while making daily life a whole lot more peaceful (and even joyful). What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat spiritual intelligence really is, and how it differs from emotional intelligence or mindfulnessThe 22 timeless spiritual qualities that traditions across the world all agree on (like gratitude, humility, and service)Practical, bite-sized ways to grow your spiritual muscles daily, without adding “3 hours of meditation” to your calendarHow suffering, trust, and purpose weave together in the journey of spiritual growthWhy our personal awakenings ripple outward into healthier relationships, workplaces, and even societiesThe inconvenient truth about spiritual growth that nobody wants to hear, but absolutely needs toResources & Links MentionedTake the Free Spiritual Intelligence Assessment: AwakeningSI.orgYosi's Award-Winning Book: Spiritually Intelligent Leadership (available on Amazon & major booksellers)Learn More About Dr. Yosi Amram: YosiAmram.netReady to Raise Your Spiritual IQ?

Skriv til os!Martin er med igen og denne gang for at pege på noget helt nyt og igangværende med den seneste sæson af Klovn samt en hyldest til spoof-genren, som har været igennem mange faser siden Edwin S. Porter med The Little Train Robbery i 1905 latterliggjorde sin egen The Great Train Robbery fra 1903. Gutterne kommer igennem Mel Brooks, Monty Python, ZAZ-filmene der altid skulle slutte med udråbstegn og naturligvis Scary Movie-franchisen. Hvor går grænsen egentlig mellem satire, parodi og spoof og hvor meget kan en film være bevidst sin genre? Det er værd at overveje når man skal udpege de helt rigtige til to gange top 4-lister.

One of the most exciting things about the idea of discussing Fascism in Cinema is how fluidly the ideas of authoritarianism have been adapted, and sometimes skewered, by filmmakers over the years. In the third episode of this series, we are looking at films that look at matters of faith, and how corrupted they can be by mankind. Since we are discussing religion, it would be wrong to have any other guest but return guest Stuart Delony from Snarky Faith. Listen as we discuss the state of religion in both the US, and the world, through the lens of Carl Theodor Dreyer's "The Passion of Joan of Arc", Monty Python's "Life of Brian", and Paul Thomas Anderson's "There Will Be Blood". I hope you enjoy!You can read my blog outlining my thoughts after the 2024 election here.Stuart wrote about a lot of the ideas we discuss about "There Will Be Blood" on his blog here.Fascism in Cinema SeriesEpisode 162 - Resistance to Fascism in CinemaEpisode 166 - Fascism in Cinema: Copaganda

The epitome of 21st century takes on 20th century _ from space movies, this James Gunn classic references Henelotter, Tremors, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, The Toxic Avenger, Goosebumps, Alien, Predator, Society, Shivers, and possibly even Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The make-up and practical effects pair perfectly with 2006's digital effects and the over-the-ham acting of Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Rooker, and Gregg Henry. This one will fill you up to bursting but still leave you hungry for more!

War, Propaganda, and the Spectacle of SufferingThe war in Gaza is not only fought with drones, tunnels, and rockets; it is fought with cameras. It is fought through livestreams, tweets, and NGO reports. This is no longer HUMINT in the traditional sense. HUMINT—human intelligence—once belonged to the world of spooks, agents, secrets, and whispers. Today, human intelligence is filmed on smartphones, edited for emotional punch, and consumed by millions. It's no longer intelligence; it's entertainment. It has become HUMENT—human entertainment—where suffering itself is curated, packaged, and broadcast.The NGOs, aid workers, and reporters on the ground claim neutrality, but in this war there is no neutral. They are soft spooks, narrative operatives shaping perception rather than just gathering facts. Their images and testimonies are intelligence with emotional payloads, designed to move hearts as much as inform minds. Their cameras don't just document—they weaponize.And in the feed economy, atrocity is a product. The crying child, the drone shot over rubble, the weeping mother—these are not just moments; they are content, scored with violins, cut to viral lengths, consumed by a global audience that toggles between outrage and voyeurism. War becomes a show. Horror becomes a series. The old Broadway line rings bitterly true: “Give ‘em the old razzle dazzle, and they'll never catch wise.” Every side knows this. Every side plays it. Gaza is not just a battlefield—it is a broadcast.Meanwhile, famine in Gaza isn't incidental—it's strategic. Hunger has always been a weapon of war, from medieval sieges to modern blockades. Cut off resources, break morale, force surrender. Israel denies the worst accusations but uses siege tactics knowingly. Hamas, in turn, thrives on the imagery of starvation, using suffering as both shield and symbol. Civilians are crushed in the middle. The world argues over semantics—“unconditional ceasefire” versus “unconditional surrender”—but the bombs keep falling. Mercy, in war, only comes after surrender.Think of it as the classic trope: two knights fight under the king's gaze. One is wounded, knocked down, but refuses to yield. The king cannot spare a knight who will not ask for mercy. Mercy only follows surrender. Germany and Japan survived because they surrendered unconditionally. Gaza, like the Black Knight in Monty Python, fights on even as it's hacked to pieces, shouting defiance through the blood. Heroic, perhaps, but suicidal.And Gaza stands alone. The Arab world mouths support but offers no jets, no armies. Egypt seals its borders. Jordan stays quiet. The Gulf states normalize ties with Israel. Iran uses Gaza as leverage, not liberation. Two billion Muslims, half a billion Arabs, and no cavalry comes. The West tweets, marches, and protests, but it bets on Israel. Gaza bleeds. The cameras roll.This is the grim reality: wars end when one side surrenders. Gaza hasn't surrendered. Israel won't stop. The world won't intervene. The suffering continues, endlessly looped, endlessly consumed. In this war, truth is secondary to narrative. Human pain is no longer just experienced; it's performed, shared, and monetized.HUMINT has collapsed into HUMENT. Intelligence has become entertainment. Horror has become spectacle. The curtain rises daily. The violins swell. The thumb hovers in the air. And the show goes on.

Hey Listener, Damian here... and it's feed drop day! So while I'm deep in the writing room on Scarlett and Hannahpocalypse Season 3, we're dropping something special to keep you occupied in the meantime. When I first stumbled into modern audio drama, The Amelia Project was one of my very first listens- and the one that set the bar for me. Picture, if you will, a clandestine agency that fakes your death so that you can slip away and start fresh. Their clients range from cult leaders to maverick entomologists- each more delightfully bizarre than the last. I mean what if there was such an agency? What if there was an organization that could make it actually happen? Disappear you in a big way so that nobody would ever come looking for you.  I know that if I were staging my own big exit, I'd want a proper flourish… and I know that Amelia would get the job done right. I still remember the first time I hit play- floored by the sound design and the simple elegance of the show's execution: Interview style. The hushed office ambience, the clink of cups, that electric possibility of vanishing. It's as dark and rich as cocoa and as silly as the sudden and unexpected reappearance of a missing Malteser. A perfect blend of comedy and mystery. If you like Dirk Gently's oddball logic or Monty Python's twisted wit, you're going to live for this. Or die for it. Who am I to judge? And don't let the anthology format fool you: there's an overarching plot that drags you back to The Amelia Project's secret origins across the ages. So do yourself a favour: start at Episode 1, binge the archive. It'll keep you busy for awhile. Find The Amelia Project wherever you get your podcasts or hit ameliapodcast.com for more details. Alright, back to writing for me. Stay alive out there in whatever passes for our own dystopian version of the Wild Wasteland... and hey, consider giving Amelia a call if you need to get away. Enjoy the show, Listener. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Did you know a British cavalry captain once held the army rank of lieutenant general… and still just led a squadron? In this episode, we dive deep into the gloriously confusing world of the Napoleonic-era British Army with historian Steve Brown. From "Brevet" ranks, to gentleman volunteers who wielded muskets while hoping someone died so they could get a promotion—this is the army as you've never heard it before. We uncover forgotten garrisons, militia mysteries, and the strange story behind those regimental county titles that mostly meant nothing at all. Expect penal battalions, Greek soldiers in red coats, and dashing hussars who were all moustache and no discipline. It's the military equivalent of Monty Python meets Yes Minister—only it really happened.

Another VINTAGE episode of The Early Years of SNL this week as we take a look back at Eric Idle's first time hosting Saturday Night Live early in Season 2. With the help of musical guest Joe Cocker (and Stuff), the Monty Python legend's outing delivers one of the best shows of the original era.Top to bottom, this is a great episode. While it leans heavily on Idle and feels very reminiscent of all things Python, there are still plenty of classic SNL moments that stand out—including Baba Wawa, The Bees, and John Belushi doing his Joe Cocker impression alongside the real Joe Cocker during the musical performance. If that wasn't enough, this is also the episode that introduced us to "The Rutles."We were joined by our "English Correspondent," Thomas Sena, making his second appearance on the podcast to help break down this Python-meets-SNL masterpiece.This episode was originally released on October 17th, 2023.---------------------------------Subscribe today!Follow us on social media: X (Twitter): NR4PTProjectBluesky: nr4ptproject.bsky.socialInstagram: nr4ptprojectFacebook: The Not Ready for Prime Time ProjectContact Us: Website: https://www.nr4project.comEmail: nr4ptproject@gmail.com

SEASON 3 EPISODE 144: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Well, there it is, finally - the perfect storm that can dethrone or at least deplete Trump and of course it's his fault. HE has openly admitted he's covering up the Epstein Files, and he has in essence confessed he's in the Epstein Files. The problem is a simple one: Trump promised to give them pedophiles. They were promised politician pedophiles. They were promised that the politicians who were covering up Epstein were the pedophiles. And then one day Trump suddenly decided to announce that HE was the politician who was covering up Epstein and he SCOLDED them and HUMILIATED them and YELLED at them for challenging his god-ordained RIGHT to cover up Epstein, and they said in their confusion “but you promised us that you would reveal the pedophile politicians that were covering up Epstein and…wait a minute... that means...” As of mid-afternoon Trump was getting ratioed, on his own social media site, nearly 4:1 by angry, confused, moronic MAGAs. They have lived and died by his insistence that only pedophile politicians personally implicated in the Epstein documents and "client list" would be keeping them from being released. Now his two conflicting piles of bull have clashed, and he has been buried under them. UNFORTUNATELY TRUMP'S RESPONSE is utterly predictable: he will double down on Trump-ISIS atrocities, on torturing immigrants. It will give his 'people' the snuff films they want and may deflect their rage, at least for awhile. But remember, any time you see ICE threatening kids, to shout "Watcha doin? Grabbing those kids so Trump can take them to Epstein Island?" B-Block (30:46) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Karoline Leavitt thinks her conference calls are being interfered with by the devil. Riley Gaines' reward for stirring up murderous hate against Trans people? She gets to audition for Fox, and conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism. Her skills are so varied: she's 85th best in swimming AND propaganda! And then there's winner Caitlin Francis, a rando from California who has the kind of advice only a homeschooling MAGA mother can present to you: dogs and cats have no souls, so if their vet bills exceed $1000, kill them. Say, Mrs. Francis, what's your over-under on your sick kids? (44:17) SPORTSBALLCENTER: Would you like to play in tomorrow night's baseball All-Star Game? Because that's the only stunt they have left to save the dying exhibition, now that they've decided that five big league games is sufficient experience to be an All-Star? And the floodgates may have just opened in St. Louis, where a pro sports team is eliminating its separate radio and TV play-by-play teams and simulcasting. This is the future, and it's not pretty. C-Block (1:05:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Somebody asked me what was my favorite joke that I ever did on the air. So here's a bunch - starring Albert Hall, the Takko-Bell trade, and the day the Reading Phillies set me up to get ejected from a minor league baseball game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
