Frankenstein ocupa la part central del programa d'aquesta setmana. Ens endinsem tant en l'adaptació de Guillermo del Toro com en la novel·la original de Mary Shelley: és l'adaptació més fidel fins ara? En què s'assemblen llibre i pel·lícula? I quins elements són marca pròpia del director mexicà? Repassem les dècades de gestació del projecte i analitzem els grans temes de l'obra, el repartiment, el disseny de producció i alguns dels moments més destacats de la pel·lícula. De propina, a 1 h i 22 min, fem la crítica del tràiler de Masters of the Universe i comentem què esperem de la pel·lícula. Tanquem el programa, a 1 h i 37 min, amb una ressenya sense espòilers de Keeper, la nova pel·lícula d'Osgood Perkins, que torna al terror incòmode i estilitzat que el caracteritza.

James discusses rescues at Te Aroroa during the recent flooding, a Swiss marathon runner's success after being stranded at the Waioweka Campground by slips and the 8 year old who was joint winner in a $40,000 fishing prize.

The new MOTU trailer shares He-Man's pronouns, but with action this hot, his preferred verb must be “fuck” — as in “fuck ice, this movie will melt your face harder than Skeletor's.” Plus, McDonald's is bringing back Changeables Happy Meals—and those little bots have us so thirsty, fuck ice, fill that small soft drink up to the brim. And these Dunder Mifflin-approved Fortnite skins are so cold, you'll think “fuck ice” is the new “that's what she said.” It's The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Hey kids! We are back for the yearly tradition of taking a look at the best (IMHO) movies of the year Two Oh Two Five. There were some really good ones honestly. I had a great time at the cinema!

Skeletor is lurking, the metals are screaming, and the earnings gauntlet has begun! In episode 1439 of The Option Block, Mark Longo and the All-Star panel—including "Uncle" Mike Tosaw and Andrew "The Rock Lobster" Giovinazzi—take a trip back to the 1980s. With the massive trailer launch for the new Masters of the Universe film, the team kicks things off with some MOTU trivia before breaking down a market that is getting "weird, wild, and funk-delicious." On the Docket: The Trading Block: A look at the "insane" run in Gold ($5k/oz!) and Silver ($100+/oz). Is it a meme, or is inflation finally catching up? Plus, a preview of the "Big Tech" earnings week featuring Meta, Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla. The Odd Block: Unusual activity in Papa John's (PZZA) puts, a massive upside play in Aero Copper Corp (ERO), and the "Trump Bump" fade in newcomer USA Rare Earth (USAR). The Strategy Block: Uncle Mike discusses the vital importance of choosing the right benchmarks (BXY, CLL, AGG) to measure your options performance accurately.

Two local women lost in the Mt Maunganui landslide, the release of a man convicted of snatching a toddler, local irritation over uncared-for roadside gardens and the worrying items confiscated at Rotorua and Tauranga courts.

As if on cue, several mainstream media outlets decided to write articles about "all the right-wingers" who are furious about He-Man's pronouns in the Masters of the Universe trailer. At the EXACT SAME TIME. But a lot of people got it was (probably) just a joke, and many more didn't care because MOTU is pretty dead with the general public. So what's going on here? Do they WANT to stir up unnecessary 'Culture War' drama for clicks and ad revenue?

Do you think these toy companies are changing for the good or for the worse? They seem to be dialing into the fandom, but at the same time, pricing many of us out of our casual lines. We'll have to see the price of these new Joe / TMNT crossovers, but they have definitely sparked collector interest. Transformers is attacking on every front, but those prices. The most exciting Star Wars news is from LEGO, but again, man, the prices. Finally, the best things from MOTU are 3rd party homages at a relatively reasonable price.

We got a new villain! We got Dylan! We got Werner Herzog! We're not sure that's how you spell Herzog but we're not feeling like looking it up! Please to enjoy ;)

Join Jeremy, Steve, He-Man, and Skeletor, as they talk, about the Create-A-Variant Contest and prizes, celebrate a little Christmas through the power of song, spend a little time revisiting an early episode favorite, review some new MOTU toys, and find out if Mekaneck has game or not.
