The Movie Mom herself, Nell Minow, is back to talk about a bunch of new movies, her visit to the George Lucas Museum, her interview with Domhnall Gleeson, and a new 4-hour documentary about that very wealthy weirdo Elon Musk. Nick and Nell also catch up on what’s happening over at RogerEbert.com. Later, Esmeralda Leon and Nick dive headfirst into Nerd Talk, dissecting video game movies like Street Fighter with Jean-Claude Van Damme and the original Mortal Kombat, before getting into The Lord of the Rings movies. Esma also reveals just how big a nerd her partner Colin is: he keeps Heat on his phone so he has access to it 24 hours a day…because apparently he needs it. Oh, and according to Nick, Elton John was in a video game movie. You’ll have to listen to find out what the hell that means. [Ep 492]
Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comFilmed in Broadstairs, Kent — Charles Dickens' old stomping ground — this episode continues the raw 2014 conversation between Miles Johnston and Max Spiers at the home linked to Max's family. Picking up from earlier discussion of Max's difficult life and triggers, the talk goes deeper into origins and the bigger picture he describes. Max recounts being born to a “high vibrational” mother and “low vibrational” father and arriving perfectly balanced — then immediately imbalanced. He describes a brief, intense birth phenomenon (half red, half yellow down the center line, photographed and reported as a “Harley Quinn child”) that vanished after three minutes. He frames his life's work as finding the center point between those polarities.He identifies as a fallen male fire dragon from Draco, one of four elemental dragon types corresponding to air, earth, water and fire. The conversation weaves DNA spirals, reptilian/R-complex strands, the need to climb out of the 3D loop, longer cycles beyond the usual precession talk, and why polarity, war and extreme sensation keep this dense reality intact. Peace and true balance, he says, would collapse the 3D construct that certain beings want to preserve for the pleasures of the flesh — and for power extracted from suffering.The discussion also covers the fleur-de-lis, Sirius A/B/C, Merovingian and Dagobert connections, and English royal charts as galactic origin markers (Sirius, Orion, Aldebaran) displayed in plain sight; the Grail as consciousness, DNA and state of mind rather than a physical cup; the end of a fourth cycle with “only two left fighting” and echoes of the Hunger Games, Mortal Kombat and MK; the void, Goetian entities, Crowley, Boleskine, an unclosed gate at Loch Ness, energy vampires, fear and deals; an older council, end times, the ouroboros/Möbius loop, double binds and why confusion keeps souls looping; the 39 Steps in Broadstairs, reversals and black sun symbolism; and personal lineage ties including the Black Prince, a Percy ancestor at Shrewsbury, Stewart and Diana bloodline connections, plus Canterbury as a soul-level birthplace.This is unscripted, wide-ranging and characteristic of the Bases series: bloodlines, interdimensional conflict, 3D as a maintained polarity game, and Max's claim of both participating in and trying to step off that game.
What happens when Apple makes a $2,000 foldable phone that apparently hates left-handed people?You get 43 minutes of The Rizzuto Show doing what it does best: taking one mildly ridiculous topic and driving it directly into left-handed presidents, witch costumes, midnight margaritas, Mortal Kombat nostalgia, creepy horror movies, celebrity gossip and an AI-generated Eminem song that fools 100,000 people.Just another productive morning.Episode 32 begins with the show discussing reports and early reviews of Apple's foldable “iPhone Duo,” including complaints that its design is much friendlier to right-handed users. The hinge, rounded edges and relocated controls supposedly create an awkward experience if you insist on holding the phone with your left hand.Moon's response?The world is built for right-handed people. Get over it.And with that, our comedy show launches into an investigation of whether left-handed people might actually have the better deal everywhere else.Rizz runs through supposed advantages for lefties in baseball, tennis, boxing, fencing, complex math, art, music and even language recovery after certain brain injuries. The crew gets into famous lefties like Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, Bill Gates and Oprah, along with the surprisingly large number of left-handed presidents.This also gives Lern an opportunity to provide several historical theories that absolutely nobody should put on an exam.Her future college course already has a name: “Things I Think, But Can't Prove.”Everybody passes.Then the episode turns into movie-review central when Lern reports back from Practical Magic 2.She and her mom went to the theater dressed as witches, expecting to find an entire coven waiting for them.There was no coven.They were the witches.Fortunately, midnight margaritas were involved, so dignity was never really part of the evening.Lern gives the movie an 8 out of 10 and talks about its humor, heart, nostalgia and emotional moments. She admits she may either be entering a sentimental phase of life or becoming clinically depressed, which seems like a perfectly reasonable way to review a movie.Then we discover Rafe also saw Practical Magic 2.Alone.Rafe explains that he wanted to support Sandra Bullock and help the movie succeed despite the rough critical reviews. He liked the movie, enjoyed the mother-daughter energy in the theater and gave it roughly a B.Of course, the crew is much more interested in the visual of one lone man sitting among groups of mothers and daughters watching Practical Magic 2.Especially once imaginary witch hats and the phrase “Bangers Only” enter the conversation.Moon has the male-nostalgia counterpart ready: Mortal Kombat 2.For him, it scratches the exact same itch. It doesn't need to reinvent cinema. It just needs to make him feel like the kid who went to see Mortal Kombat repeatedly in the '90s. Karl Urban shows up as Johnny Cage, the cheese level rises appropriately, and Moon happily returns to being a Mortal Kombat nerd.Then everybody puts on their extremely unofficial film-critic hats for Obsession and Backrooms.The crew discusses Obsession and its wonderfully simple premise: a guy uses a magical “One Wish Willow” to wish that a woman would love him more than anything else in the world.Great idea.Surely nothing horrifying could happen there.Moon likes how the movie plays with recognizable feelings of love and infatuation before pushing them into increasingly disturbing territory, while Rafe appreciates the simplicity of the magical object that kicks everything off.Then Moon describes Backrooms as this generation's The Blair Witch Project — built around internet lore, liminal spaces, camcorder-style filmmaking, anticipation and the jump-scare language younger audiences grew up with through games like Five Nights at Freddy's.Rizz also squeezes in the Mr. T documentary because apparently we're running a multiplex now.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, and this comedy show somehow gets even busier.The transcript gets into Lady Gaga reportedly appearing with a newborn alongside fiancé Michael Polansky, possible new music from My Chemical Romance, Oasis teasing an announcement, and the show's ongoing investment in whether Ella Langley can knock Mariah Carey off a chart record.Naturally, the crew's proposed strategy is simply to play “Choosin' Texas” continuously until Mariah's Christmas empire collapses.We also get entertainment talk involving The Odyssey, Alan Ritchson, Helen Mirren embracing AI for quick medical questions, and the wonderfully specific revelation that Mirren once lamented Kurt Cobain never getting to experience GPS.Forget the music he never made.The man never got turn-by-turn directions.That's apparently the tragedy.Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly dating rumors send Rafe into emotional distress because he has had enough of MGK getting involved with attractive women. A resurfaced Dustin Hoffman interview sparks a much more serious discussion about consent and past allegations surrounding the actor. Courteney Cox talks about potentially directing a future Scream, and the crew immediately starts constructing an increasingly ridiculous meta-Scream movie that eventually involves Jennifer Aniston.There's also news of another Family Stone movie, giving Lern yet another sequel to something she loves and another opportunity for the entertainment industry to weaponize nostalgia against her.Finally, AI comes for Eminem.An AI-generated track presented like a new Eminem song reportedly racks up more than 100,000 YouTube views before being removed. The crew listens to part of it and is less than convinced.Where's the variation?Where's the real Eminem energy?Most importantly: where's the reference to his mom?If artificial intelligence wants to replace Slim Shady, apparently it needs to study harder.By the time celebrity birthdays arrive, Episode 32 has traveled from a foldable phone to left-handed supremacy, presidential handedness, witch costumes, midnight margaritas, horror movies, Mortal Kombat, Mr. T, celebrity relationships, AI medicine and fake Eminem.Which is exactly how a comedy show should operate: start with a phone and end somewhere nobody could possibly have predicted.Come for the foldable iPhone controversy.

What do concussions, Mexico City, a $2,000 foldable iPhone, midnight margaritas, tanning beds and a robot vacuum catching an alleged cheater have in common?Absolutely nothing.So naturally, we put them together.This three-episode collection of The Rizzuto Show combines some spectacularly unrelated conversations into one giant funny podcast featuring physical trauma, international rock-star adventures, technological betrayal, relationship debates and enough questionable judgment to keep everybody employed for at least one more morning.The chaos begins with a simple question: has anyone on the show ever been knocked out cold?Moon recalls childhood injuries and the 219 stitches he's had in his head and face, along with moments when a hard impact made everything go black. Rafe remembers a helmet-to-helmet football collision that left him seeing lights before collapsing. Lern doesn't think she was ever fully knocked unconscious, although her cousins apparently made a respectable effort when they were kids.Meanwhile, Rizz reveals that his social-media algorithm has correctly identified his primary interests as cooking videos and watching people get absolutely demolished.Personalized technology is beautiful.From there, Moon returns from Mexico City after performing with Goldfinger at Warped Tour. He describes roughly 40,000 people packed in front of their stage, with more than 150,000 tickets sold for the event overall. Mexico City's altitude makes performing an adventure of its own, but Moon comes back raving about the crowd, the people, the food and the sheer size of a city that seemingly never ends.There are chilaquiles. There are frijoles. There's an extremely nice hotel. There are also security precautions involving verified drivers and discussions of kidnapping risks, because apparently touring internationally occasionally requires more preparation than “bring your guitar.”Moon also gets reflective about the wealth disparity he saw and how traveling outside your normal bubble can violently reset your perspective.Then everybody talks airports, TSA rules and the possibility of approved non-ticketed visitors eventually being allowed back through security at select airports. This leads directly into old airport nostalgia, Global Entry complaints, confiscated toiletries and all the other tiny indignities we accept because somebody once decided 3.5 ounces of shampoo represents chaos.Lern then takes us into another terrifying environment:Youth baseball.After attending her best friend's son's game, she reports back on parents blocking views with tents, adults getting way too emotionally invested and one dad loudly criticizing his own kid while the kid is trying to hit.The crew gets into overbearing sports parents, adults attempting to relive their glory days through children, screaming at referees and umpires, and the incredible ability of youth athletics to turn otherwise functional adults into people who believe a 12-year-old's batting average determines the family legacy.And somehow that still isn't the weirdest concert-related story.At an outdoor gig, Lern encounters an audience member who brings their own guitar AND a battery-powered amplifier, sets up in front of the band and simply starts playing along.Not invited.Not hired.Not remotely part of the band.Just spiritually promoted themselves.Honestly, that confidence should be studied.Then another episode brings us the reported foldable Apple iPhone and the greatest civil-rights battle nobody expected: left-handed people versus phone design.The show discusses complaints that the foldable phone's layout is significantly friendlier to right-handed users. Moon's position is compassionate and nuanced:The world is built for right-handed people. Deal with it.Rizz responds by digging into supposed advantages of being left-handed in sports, creativity and other areas, which somehow becomes a discussion of famous lefties, presidents and Professor Lern's historically questionable theories.Her future college course remains undefeated:“Things I Think, But Can't Prove.”Everybody passes.The funny podcast then transforms into a movie-review program nobody requested.Lern and her mom go see Practical Magic 2 dressed as witches and discover they are apparently the only people who received the imaginary costume memo. Fortunately, they have midnight margaritas and commit to the bit.Lern enjoys the movie. Rafe also enjoys it.There is only one important difference.Rafe went alone.Now the crew can't stop imagining one solitary man sitting among groups of mothers and daughters at Practical Magic 2, looking suspicious despite having the extremely innocent explanation that he simply likes Sandra Bullock and wanted the movie to succeed.Moon counters with his own nostalgia fix in Mortal Kombat 2, and suddenly the show has become Siskel & Ebert if Siskel & Ebert spent half the review making fun of each other.More movie talk follows, including horror, sequels and entertainment news, before the show encounters something truly horrifying:Fake Eminem.An AI-generated song presented like a new Eminem track reportedly racks up more than 100,000 YouTube views before being removed. The crew listens and quickly realizes something is missing.Variation.A hook.Actual Eminem.And, most importantly, references to his mom.AI may be coming for everyone's jobs, but apparently Slim Shady remains safe for another afternoon.Then Missouri gives everyone approximately seven minutes of gorgeous weather.Rizz has the family outside. The dogs are playing. Nobody is fighting. Lern starts dreaming about jackets. Sweater weather is coming!Tomorrow's high?99 degrees.Thanks, St. Louis.The conversation immediately gets darker when the show discusses allegations involving secret recordings of unsuspecting people using tanning facilities at an Arnold-area gym. The story summons the imaginary justice system known as Rizland, where the crew begins designing an increasingly elaborate form of Swamp Justice for the accused.Lern proposes public shaming.Rafe adds tanning.Rizz gets disturbingly enthusiastic about the cooking process.Nobody should give these people judicial authority.Ever.Next, Sex Time Fun Facts brings in a relationship dilemma involving a husband who wants to leave a stressful, high-paying career and pursue a calmer life. His wife worries about losing their lifestyle and wonders whether getting his testosterone checked might restore the ambitious “tiger” she married.The room immediately divides over burnout, money, responsibility, marriage and whether this man genuinely needs a healthier life or just discovered mushrooms at Burning Man and now wants to skateboard in Costa Rica.Underneath the jokes, the crew actually gets into the reality that people change during long relationships — and that figuring out how to adapt together may be more important than expecting your spouse to remain exactly who they were when you met.Very mature.Don't worry. It doesn't last.Because now we have a robot vacuum solving infidelity.The show discusses a story from Taiwan involving a husband who reportedly activated a robot vacuum remotely and discovered his wife with another man through the device's camera.Forget lipstick on the collar.The Roomba has evidence.The legal aftermath gets even stranger, but Rafe remains fixated on the true violation: another man allegedly sitting bare-assed on the couch where the husband watches football.Some betrayals simply cut deeper.That launches the crew into a debate over what actually qualifies as cheating.Flirtatious texts?Late-night conversations you hide from your partner?Keeping a dating profile for “validation”?Deleting messages?Saving somebody under a fake name?Talking to another person about problems in your relationship?Everyone draws the line somewhere different, although Moon offers perhaps the most useful conclusion: if you want a genuinely healthy relationship, maybe stop deliberately hanging out directly next to the line.This reasonable advice lasts until the show debates whether a straight married guy could theoretically maintain a Grindr profile exclusively for compliments.We tried.Three episodes. One spectacular pile of nonsense.You've got people getting knocked out, Moon playing for a gigantic Mexico City crowd, airport security, youth-sports parents, an unauthorized audience guitarist, left-handed phone discrimination, witch costumes, midnight margaritas, Mortal Kombat nostalgia, AI Eminem, fake sweater weather, alleged tanning-bed surveillance, marital burnout, relationship boundaries and a robot vacuum that has seen things no household appliance should ever have to see.It's weird news, funny stories, pop culture commentary, St. Louis chaos and exactly the kind of funny podcast where you can start with traumatic brain injuries and somehow end up debating whether your Roomba is legally allowed to testify against your spouse.Technology was a mistake.Vans Warped Tour Mexico CityTSA revives pre-9/11 tradition with gate access for certain travelers without tickets'Practical Magic 2' Box Office: Sequel Fizzles With $28 Million DebutMan charged after police say he secretly recorded people while tanning at Arnold gymFollow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
We started talking about wrestling and somehow ended up debating Batman, Supergirl, X-Men, Logan, Deadpool, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Street Fighter, One Piece, and Grey's Anatomy.So yeah… pretty normal Nonsense episode.Henno and FNBob kick things off with WWE talk, including the current state of the company, the treatment of longtime stars, the Samoan wrestling dynasty, and why FNBob is officially suffering from Samoan fatigue. From there, the conversation takes a hard left into movies — where FNBob has some strong opinions.Supergirl gets put on trial, X-Men: The Last Stand somehow gets defended, and FNBob demands two hours of his life back from Logan. Then things get even more ridiculous when they debate whether the new Street Fighter movie is too corny, whether it should just embrace the cheese, and why Mortal Kombat already understands the assignment.Then comes the real controversy:FNBob thinks Killmonger was right.Not partially right.Not “had a point.”RIGHT.That somehow leads to Wakanda, racism, the ancestral plane, and a conversation that absolutely did not end where it started.And just when we think we're done, we get into social media, fandoms, One Piece fans, Reddit, and why apparently saying you don't want to watch 1,000+ episodes of anime is enough to summon an entire community.Finally, FNBob explains the only reason he ever considered watching Grey's Anatomy: a man with a tree through his body and an old woman's heart literally bursting into flames.This episode went everywhere.And honestly… we have no idea where we were supposed to end up.
From the visionary director Simon McQuoid, who brought you Mortal Kombat (2021), comes Mortal Kombat II (2026)! More of the same from the Mortal Kombat film series. But this time we get a whole lot more Johnny Cage, played by Karl Urban.

Mortal Kombat II may possibly be followed up by Mortal Kombat III!

This chapter will take us through the “spinoff series” which features 3 video games that were spinoff games of the original canonical series that were released 1997, 2000 & 2005 and would the only times that the games' creators and production team, Midway Games, would ever attempt a spinoff game.
Sensei Randy joins us for a look back 30 years to the original Mortal Kombat. Feeling blue and need a laugh? This is the episode for you.

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; we have a few scheduling conflicts, so it's just Ben & Scot in the studio; with the always entertaining Mr. Davey Damaged joining us as well!! Kicking things into gear, we discuss the latest News that is hitting our radar. With a heart-felt tribute to some of the recent passings; we reflect on what some of these larger than life people have done; & how each of them will be missed. Then we chat towards the very lack-luster reveal of King Hiss from the MOTU Chronicles line. Peacemaker from Mezco 1:12 is arguably the definitive Toy version of this character we will likely ever get! McFarlane wrap things up with their Wave 16 of DC Super Powers - with an interesting line-up of Characters. But with this being the finale; who are we missing from this overall toy line-up? PlayStation One are getting the Lego treatment; which honestly looks great; but what is with their Easter Egg game choices?! Then we pivot into a general chat towards Latest Scores & then followed up with Reading / Playing / Watching. An overall fun episode - if not for Ben continually tripping over his sentences! Davey plugged the New Australiana Book by: Fridalasvegas -Australianarama - A Campendium Of Kitsch - an awesome history of what makes Australia so unique!!

Nerd Culture #274 is ook te bekijken op https://youtu.be/zOIKrYQ3jPg Ook deze week word je weer bijgepraat over het allerlaatste nerdnieuws in aflevering 274 van Nerd Culture! Dit keer wederom met twee man sterk, want Koos heeft zijn handen vol met poepluiers, en Jelle is na het GTA 6-debacle even ondergedoken. Daarom schuift Daan weer eens aan de desk bij Huey. De evengoed pas geworden vader weet precies hoe je een controller moet vasthouden met een baby op je borst, maar heeft ook net zijn eerste werkweek weer gehad op Gamescom, en daar buit meegenomen in een uniek tasje om bij Nerd Culture mee te komen pronken. Wat zal het zijn? Dat, maar ook het laatste superheldennieuws, en ander nieuws uit de filmwereld hoor en zie je in deze aflevering van Nerd Culture. Trading Card Games als hobby/verdienmodel & een zoektocht naar kwalitatieve filmposters Je zuurverdiende centen nog tijdens je werk uitgeven kan blijkbaar het beste op Gamescom. Daan trekt zijn stash open van Magic: The Gathering, One Piece en zelfs een pakje Yu-Gi-Oh kaarten. Hoe diep zit hij inmiddels in deze scene en hoeveel van zijn kaarten heeft 'ie in hoesjes gehezen? Huey heeft ook weer een eigen zoektocht opgezet naar kwalitatieve filmposters. Oud, nieuw, maakt niet veel uit, zolang het maar geen stalen platen zijn en in een lijst kan hangen. Het verdwijnen van de EXPO is voor Huey een groot gemis, dus laten we hem helpen in de comments! Lucas Museum, Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat & de verschillende era's superheldenfilms De twee staan even stil bij wat trailers, waaronder die van Street Fighter. Wat zijn hun gedachten over de trailer, en hoe verhoudt deze zich tot de Mortal Kombat films? Het lijkt alsof een nieuw tijdperk van videogame-adaptaties aanbreekt dat lekker zondagse B-films gaat produceren. Mocht je toevallig in Los Angeles zijn, kun je altijd even een uitstapje maken naar het Lucas Museum waar Huey deze week graag zijn spreekbeurt over geeft. En tot slot duiken zij in het laatste superheldennieuws, waar een mooie discussie uit voortvloeit over de verschillende tijdperken van superhelden, maar ook over de Fast & Furious filmreeks. Spoiler alert: Huey zit meer op een lijn met zijn meest geliefde director Nolan dan hij denkt. Hoe dat allemaal zit? Dat zie en hoor je in aflevering #274 van Nerd Culture!Wil je adverteren bij de podcast Nerd Culture óf misschien bij een andere podcast van ILVY Network?

Hey — we dive into some wild stuff this episode: the chaos around Polymarket and whether prediction markets are the unregulated Vegas of the internet, the shocking Keefe D verdict in the Tupac case, and quick takes on movies and shows (Idris nailed Masters of the Universe, Mortal Kombat 2? nah). We also go off about light rail and Tampa's transit mess, drop a few can't-miss show recs like The Lioness and Green Lantern, and tell you where to hear more if you wanna keep the conversation going.
Send us Fan MailMortal Kombat (1995) isn't exactly a “great” movie. But man, is it fun.We're going back to the 90s for a full nostalgia-fueled look at the movie that gave us memorable characters, ridiculous fights, and one of the greatest video game movie theme songs ever.We talk arcade culture, trading fatality codes, Johnny Cage's ridiculous charisma, Raiden, Shang Tsung, and the things that somehow work way better than they should.We also get into the practical sets, locations, fight scenes, and why Mortal Kombat still has a charm that some modern blockbusters seem to be missing.It may not be perfect, but it absolutely knows what it wants to be.And yes... we're talking about that theme song.Listen now, and TEST YOUR MIGHT!Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show
My buddy Martyn Ford hangs with me and we get into his insane journey from cricket player to battling an eating disorder, finding himself through training, and eventually building a career in movies. We talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger's influence, the ridiculous Fast & Furious premiere Martyn basically threw for himself, the emergency surgery that nearly killed him, and the pressure he feels trying to break through as a leading actor. Plus, we talk about working together on The Machine, his latest Mortal Kombat 2 success and spending hours in hair and makeup just to have it mostly covered by a helmet.

Dick Tracy is Warren Beatty's lifelong obsession, and though he maintains a death grip on the rights to the character to this day, he did give us one of the most visually striking comic-book movies ever made. Though it feels like this 1990 film has faded somewhat into obscurity, it remains full of bold choices, fantastic design, and some of your favorite actors of the time doing the craziest things. What's not to like?Check out this episode and then be sure to find us all over the place:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@revengeof90spodSubstack: https://revengeofthe90s.substack.com/ (for more commentary, reviews, rants, etc.)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RevengeOfThe90sPodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/revengeof90spod
On the last episode of The Treehouse Show, Dan declared that Mortal Kombat 2 was awful — and apparently that made some people VERY unhappy.So Trey watched it over the weekend to settle the debate. The verdict? Dan's taste in movies might be the real problem. Trey actually liked Mortal Kombat 2… although Karl Urban may have been the worst part of it.That sends us straight into the huge announcement about Days of Thunder 2. Cole Trickle is headed back to the big screen, Anne Hathaway is apparently part of the conversation, and once we establish that Randy Quaid is, in fact, still alive, we ask the bigger question: Can Tom Cruise miss anymore? Then it's Celebrity Birthdays with Lily Tomlin, a little Dolly Parton discussion, and Zendaya turning 30 while continuing one hell of a career run.And finally, we head to New Mexico for the Green Chile Sauce Murder — where a man allegedly shot his cousin during an argument over whose green chile sauce was hotter.Hopefully prison serves red.It's movies, celebrities, terrible decisions, and completely unnecessary violence over condiments on The Treehouse Show.About the show:Leave your worries outside and join Dan O'Malley, Trey Trenholm, and their hilarious guests for laughs about funny news and viral stories with ridiculous commentary inside the Treehouse Show.

[School of Movies 2026] Back in 2021, after a surprising 24-year absence of Mortal Kombat live action movie adaptations while several really great cinematic story modes played out on the past four entries of the video game series, a movie finally emerged. It wasn't very good. But since we were all on lockdown and starved for entertainment many of us chomped it down like Baraka at a buffet. Then, five whole years later a sequel emerged that actually delivered on the basic, underachieving proof-of-concept that was pitched to us in that excuse for a first movie. Entertaining, grisly, a bit too self-conscious and at times historically inaccurate, this made for a fun time at the cinema and now we actually look forward to more.

Dan almost found out exactly how far he'd go when an encounter with a homeless person nearly turned into a fight.Welcome to another episode of The Treehouse Show, where apparently we're tackling all of society's biggest problems today.Are FLOCK cameras really an invasion of privacy—or are people just now realizing how often they're already being watched? We also check in on Tom from MySpace to see what he looks like today and whether it's finally time for him to update that legendary profile picture.Then we get into Karl Urban and Mortal Kombat II, before asking a much bigger question:Do kids under 16 really need social media? Some countries are taking aggressive steps to regulate kids' access to social media, so why is it so difficult to do the same thing here?Homeless confrontations, surveillance cameras, MySpace nostalgia, Mortal Kombat and kids on social media.Just another perfectly normal day inside The Treehouse Show.About the show:Leave your worries outside and join Dan O'Malley, Trey Trenholm, and their hilarious guests for laughs about funny news and viral stories with ridiculous commentary inside the Treehouse Show.

Peter and Eden compare the two Conan the Barbarian movies — the 1982 John Milius original that made Arnold Schwarzenegger a star, and the 2011 Jason Momoa remake. Peter, mid-outline on a new novel using Jessica Brody's Save the Cat beat sheet, finds the 1982 film fascinating but slow precisely because it ignores modern story beats in favor of a mythic, Wagnerian hero; the 2011 film follows every rule and lands soulless. They break down why the remake fails on nearly every front, geek out over James Earl Jones' Thulsa Doom and Basil Poledouris' score, and flag two upcoming projects: the Schwarzenegger/Christopher McQuarrie King Conan and the gender-swapped French curio She Is Conann. Before that, they catch up on Peter's 50th in Vegas — the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere and 20 laps in a Ferrari 296 GTB — and Spider-Man: Brand New Day.Show NotesThe catch-up: Eden's intrusive thoughts won and they dyed their beard purple rather than shave it again, a look they're keeping until they get bored.Lis's new gig: Peter's wife is now voice faculty at Idaho State University, teaching voice lessons to music majors and sitting in on juries.Eden — Rebecca Black: New Rebecca Black songs keep dropping ahead of an album due in two weeks, and they think she's one of the most interesting people working in pop music right now.Eden — Roll Over and Die: They caught up to the current volumes of the gory, action-packed light novel series Roll Over and Die, even if they wish they'd drop the bloated subtitle.Eden — The Credits Roll Into the Sea: The manga about a 70-year-old widow who enrolls in a university film program after her husband dies had a quiet tenderness they loved. The Credits Roll into the SeaEden — games: They joined a monthly brothers-in-law co-op night playing Heroes of Hammerwatch, which they think the sequel improves on.Eden — Fields of Mistria: The farming sim Fields of Mistria is out of early access and is one of the better Stardew-likes they've played, on the strength of its character writing.Eden — Bad Movie Bros: Movie night returned with the gloriously bad Gor, a Conan knockoff based on John Norman's sword-and-planet novels, with the sequel already queued.Spider-Man: Brand New Day: The fourth Tom Holland Spider-Man is Peter's favorite of the four and Eden's best yet, both crediting Destin Daniel Cretton's direction.Spider-Man's Punisher: They argued the unusually light Punisher is deliberate — the first person Frank Castle has cared about since his family died, so he drops the grimness around Peter.Peter's 50th in Vegas: The whole family of eight came together in Las Vegas, and Peter correctly guessed the Backstreet Boys' Into the Millennium residency at the Sphere was the Saturday show.Ferrari at SpeedVegas: Lis bought him 20 laps in a Ferrari 296 GTB at SpeedVegas, where he hit about 137 mph on the 2,000-foot straightaway under relentless coaching from his instructor, Nico.Lucky: He's caught up through six episodes of Lucky, an Anya Taylor-Joy con-artist thriller that won't win awards but is a ton of fun.Ted Lasso returns: Season four follows Richmond's new women's team and is unapologetic about the shit women's sports has to put up with.Mortal Kombat: The 2021 Mortal Kombat was so flat Peter skipped the sequel, a midi-chlorian-style explanation for character powers that was completely unnecessary.The Expanse: He's halfway through Leviathan Wakes and enjoying the series so far.Beyond Grace: The UK band's Welcome to the New Dark Ages Part Three completes a heavy, ugly, socially conscious death-metal trilogy he's had on repeat.Death: Returning to Death reminded him what a spectacular discography Chuck Schuldiner left behind, with some eerie prescience on The Sound of Perseverance.Main topic: The episode's feature compares the 1982 and 2011 Conan the Barbarian movies.Why 1982 works: Peter, mid-outline using Save the Cat Writes a Novel's 15 beats, found the Milius film fascinating but slow — a mythic, Wagnerian hero with no B-story and no internal conflict.The 1982 details: Basil Poledouris' score, the Andalusia shoot, and James Earl Jones' scenery-chewing Thulsa Doom carry it, with the riddle-of-steel payoff landing.Why 2011 fails: The remake hits every beat on paper but is soulless — Momoa has no presence, Rose McGowan is the only interesting thing in it, and it's all cheap CGI.2011 plot holes: Breaking a magic mask into eight pieces instead of a million, elephants dragging a boat through a jungle, and instant travel between far-flung citadels.2011's politics: Eden flagged how the orcish peoples read as Native American and African while the white characters don't get the same treatment.Financial disaster: The $90 million remake grossed around $60 million, and Peter argues it deserved worse.Worst movies: It sits near the very bottom of everything they've watched, in the running with Knights of the Zodiac and Black Adam.King Conan: A long-in-development King Conan sequel with Schwarzenegger and Christopher McQuarrie is finally moving forward.She Is Conann: Eden discovered She Is Conann, a gender-swapped French take starring five actresses as Conan at different ages, and can't wait to watch it.

It's Friday, which means it's time for Shoot Around. The guys kick things off with NBA 2K27 dropping soon and try to guess the top 10 rated players in the game before it releases, and let's just say a couple of MVP-caliber names slip right past them. From there they run through which teams landed the most nationally televised games this season (four teams are tied at the top) and which teams barely made the schedule at all, before diving into the Jayden Daniels and LSU jersey number situation and what it says about how seriously players protect their old college numbers. There's a fun detour into jersey number stories from Rob's own career, the week's audio clip of the year courtesy of a very unfiltered local newscast, and a time capsule dig through a 1997 TNT clip covering the trade that sent Rob from Phoenix to LA. They close things out with a fan question about NBA Jam duos, which sends the whole crew down a rabbit hole of arcade nostalgia, from Mortal Kombat to Cruisin' USA. 00:00 Cold Open: It's Friday, 2K27 Is Almost Here 00:48 Guessing the NBA 2K27 Top 10 Rated Players 04:58 Guessing the Most (and Least) Nationally Televised Teams 07:39 Jayden Daniels vs. LSU Over His Retired Number 08:27 Jersey Number Pride: Steve Blake, Michael Irvin & More 13:09 Audio of the Week: Good Day Detroit's Beaver Segment 15:33 Time Capsule: The 1997 Towel Trade to the Lakers 18:07 Fan Question: Who Beats Rob and Dream in NBA Jam? 22:39 Favorite Arcade Games From Back in the Day
Remember how much Jeremy and Dave hated the last Mortal Kombat movie? Well, they decided to watch Mortal Kombat II and see it is was any better.
For this episode we focus not on the heroes, but on the others that help them along the way - their companions. And not just any companions, animal companions. And not just animal companions, dog companions. And not games where you play as a dog, but where you play as something else and have a dog sidekick. Wait, what exactly is the theme again? Anyway, we sort that all out during the episode.In our gaming dog discussion we take a look at some old school games like Secret of Evermore and Mortal Kombat 2, newer games like Final Fantasy XVI and Star Fox - and more! We also reminisce about our favorite four legged friends we had in real life and round things out with some dog related trivia. So if you're feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed, grab your water dish and your headphones and join us - for this look at companion games!

Mortal Kombat II ups the ante in every conceivable way over its 2021 predecessor (covered on this pod). It's bigger, bloodier, far more ambitious, and—this really seals the deal—it actually features the titular tournament. Released at the tail-end of Covid, Mortal Kombat dropped both in theaters and HBO Max on the same day. Earning a strong $84.4 million and konquering the streaming charts made this sequel a no-brainer. Sadly, despite WB's optimism and better reviews, Mortal Kombat II could only muster $129.5 million. Thus, a third film is stuck somewhere in the Netherrealm of development hell. Listen, WB, as the game strongly suggests to the winning player, "Finish" it. Now, sit back, soothe that Deadpool burn with a Juice Monster from Abomination Brewing, and don't get stuck in the Netherrealm! The Thunderous Wizard and Bling Blake are just two assholes whose appeal went out in the 90s! This Week's Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – Their fight. Our future! Lingering Questions – Best fight of the film? (27:21) The "Kneel Before Kahn" Trivia Challenge – The Thunderous Wizard challenges the field to trivia about the movie.

Welcome to the tournament!
Send us Fan MailWe tried to make a normal pop culture debate episode and accidentally built a full-on Mortal Kombat tower for action heroes. The premise is brutal and simple: we each draft a roster of action icons, throw them in a bag, and random-draw matchups while the fight locations change every round. Subway station. Jungle. Library. Missile silo. Submarine hallway. Crane platform. If you've ever argued “who would win” in an action movie fight, this format turns that question into a fast-moving tournament where one detail can flip everything. The twist is our limited weapon pool. Each weapon can only be used once, so every choice feels like a gamble and every “save it for later” plan eventually backfires. That's how we end up seriously debating matchups like Jackie Chan in a library, Bruce Lee in close quarters, and the late-game collision of Jason Bourne, John Wick, Rambo, and Daniel Craig's James Bond. We keep bumping into the real question behind every movie character battle: is the winner the best fighter, the best improviser, or the one with the most plot armor? The bracket ends with a final stretch that's equal parts strategy and chaos, including a hallway gunfight that changes everything and a last duel that crowns a very specific kind of action hero champion. If you love action movie podcasts, tournament episodes, and heated (but fun) pop culture arguments, you'll have plenty to agree with and plenty to challenge. Subscribe for more debates, share this with the friend who always argues the wrong winner, and leave a review with your most controversial matchup take.Support the show

I've been wanting to have this conversation for a long time, and it did not disappoint. This week on Spawn On Me, I sat down with Mara Junot — the voice of Ikora Rey in Destiny, Storm across multiple Marvel games, and Queen Sindel in Mortal Kombat — and we went deep on everything from their origin story to what it actually takes to build a lasting career as a voice actor.Mara gets real about starting out with zero voiceover resources in their area, teaching themselves through YouTube and podcasts, and spending nearly 8 years as a country radio DJ before discovering the world of voice acting. They break down what agents actually expect from you (hint: it's not 10%), why introverts can absolutely thrive in this industry, and why they ignored everyone who told them they couldn't do trailers.We also talk about voicing Storm across Marvel Midnight Suns, Ultimate Alliance 3, and the new Marvel Tokon — and the deeply personal reason Storm means more to them than any other character they've played. This is one of my favorite conversations of the year. Don't sleep on it.We are the culture.
