In S5Ep8 of the PRP, Adam symposiums with decades-long distance runner, decorated Wayne State alum, physical therapy powerhouse, multifaceted running coach and proud mama bear, Dr. Lauren Couls, who has been preparing for the Red Moon Trail 25K on August 9th, 2025. Jen Rock Buslepp, Wayne State hall of famer, Olympic Trials qualifier, mama bear extraordinaire and blossoming photographer joins the show to offer her take on running burnout, mom brain and of course, the Ninja Turtles.Buckle up as the squad unpacks how Lauren's PT and coaching approach has evolved—from prescribing fixes to fostering lightbulb moments. By guiding athletes to discover answers for themselves, she sparks lasting growth and resilience; shifting runners' perspectives on body mechanics and training strategies in the long run (pun intended) instead of just slapping bandaids on injuries.Things get vulnerable when the trio digs into the hard questions around coaching, healing, and stewardship. What happens when your body says pause but your identity screams run? How do you balance competitiveness with compassion—for yourself and others? And how can each of us support this community, even when we're not the ones pinning on the bib?For both Lauren & Jen, that journey has meant evolving from high-level competitors to coaches, healers, and now moms. Deconstructing their identities as runners, then slowly rebuilding them hasn't always been easy, but that process has sharpened their perspective, deepened their empathy, and made them more attuned to what really matters. Together, the crew explores what it means to grow with the sport rather than against it: redefining success, embracing rest, finding identity beyond medals and splits, and guiding athletes to run not just stronger but smarter - all while cultivating a deeper relationship with the sport and, in turn, with themselves.Ummm, triple stroller Guinness World Record?!? Hootie & the Blowfish singalongs??? Gilligan's Island & Andy Griffith (yeah we old)! Jesus, is that you? Tornadoes, Facebook pokes and bilateral FAI, oh my!This and so much more in a laughter-filled, wisdom-packed, and deeply heartfelt running mama edition of the PRP.

Comic Book Creator and LEGEND! (Recorded live at Tucson Comic Con Sunday, August 31, 2025) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Crow, Heavy Metal Magazine Born in Portland, Maine in 1962 Kevin Eastman began drawing at a very young age, copying children's books, and reading comics. Inspired by master storyteller Jack Kirby, and later by self-publishing creators Richard Corben, creating his own characters and comics became an obsession. Born in Portland, Maine in 1962 Kevin Eastman began drawing at a very young age, copying children's books, and reading comics. Inspired by master storyteller Jack Kirby, and later by self-publishing creators Richard Corben, creating his own characters and comics became an obsession. In the late 70's and early 80's, self-published “Mini Comics” became a main artistic outlet, and while soliciting illustration work from local fanzines in Northampton Massachusetts, he met like-minded creator Peter Laird and the partnership studio, Mirage Studios was formed. Less than a year later in the middle of a late-night drawing session, Eastman doodled a new character he dubbed a “Ninja Turtle” to make Laird laugh—several sillier sketches and a final drawing of four characters later “Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” had officially entered the universe! Self-published in May of 1984 the first issue sold out of its 3000 copies overnight and quickly became a fan favorite. Catching the eye of Merchandising Agents and Hollywood Producers, Eastman and Laird maintained full control of their creations while guiding them through Toy Licensing, TV Series adaptation, as well as Feature Films, and by early 1990 the TMNT's were number one in all three categories. In between TMNT projects, Eastman launched a creator friendly publishing company, “Tundra Publishing” where projects like “The Crow” “From Hell” “Madman” and “Understanding Comics” first flourished, as well as purchased and published the world renowned “Heavy Metal Magazine” for more than twenty-five years. In 2020 based on an original 1987 concept by Kevin and Peter, Kevin adapted and launched The Last Ronin with longtime TMNT Writer/Co-Writer Tom Waltz. The epic tale quickly became the TMNT publishing event of the decade, both a critical success, and a New York Times Best Seller. The series continued with The Last Ronin: Lost Years in 2023 and 2024The Last Ronin II: Re-Evolution. When not having way too much fun writing and drawing on new TMNT projects, he launched a new maxiseries with Image Comics entitled, Drawing Blood as well as companion limited series the Radically Rearranged Ronin Ragdolls, with co-creator David Avallone, and artists Ben Bishop and Troy Little. Thanks to “THE BEST FANS ON THE ENTIRE PLANET!” according to Eastman, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles continue to find their way into the hearts and imaginations of kids, large and small more than four decades later. Cowabunga! In 2025 Kevin, his wife Courtney and Team Eastman will be visiting comic conventions and signings around the world, ensuring they are always accessible and able to connect with fans as we all continue to Shellebrate the awesome legacy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Send us a textWho would win in a fight between the Ninja Turtles and the Power Rangers? As they analyze fighting styles, weapons, and special abilities, nostalgic memories of Saturday morning cartoons emerge, leading to a spirited discussion about UPN's golden era of Black television shows.The conversation shifts to boxing's decline as they evaluate the upcoming Floyd Mayweather vs. Mike Tyson exhibition match. "Not all money is worth it," one host argues, questioning why legends risk their legacy for exhibition fights that won't count toward official records. This prompts a deeper conversation about boxing's lost cultural relevance. Things get juicy when we dissect Young Thug's leaked jail phone calls that have revealed shocking comments about fellow artists including Future, Kendrick Lamar, and his alleged infidelity against girlfriend Mariah the Scientist. "These calls are dropping like mixtapes used to in the early 2000s," they observe, questioning who might have a vendetta against the Atlanta rapper. The episode closes with a thought-provoking moral dilemma from Denzel Washington's latest film: if you had $18 million and kidnappers demanded $17.5 million for someone else's child they mistakenly took instead of yours, would you pay?

Mike just went to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles after it was back in theaters for its 35th Anniversary. He shares the history of the movie and how it became the highest-grossing independent film of its time. He talks about why the movie is one of his Top 10 of all-time, how it felt watching it for the first time on the big screen and the top moments that still hold up after 35 years. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters which had sing-along screenings over the weekend. It follows a K-pop girl group, Huntr/x, who lead double lives as demon hunters. They face off against a rival boy band, the Saja Boys, whose members are secretly demons. Mike talks about what sticks out about the animation, how the movie made a statement on the music industry and the pressures of being a pop star and why you shouldn’t be afraid to go to the movies alone for sing-along events. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Marty Supreme starring Timothée Chalamet. It is inspired by the life of legendary table tennis player Marty Reisman. Mike talks about if this is the year for the return of sports movies, why he is excited for Tyler The Creator to be in it, and will Chalamet finally get his Oscar? New Episodes Every Monday!

Unisciti alla ribellione su Telegram – Iscriviti alla newsletter – Supportaci su Patreon Nello spirito del format, più che scrivere una sinossi dell'episodio ho pensato potesse essere fico copincollarvi la “mappa concettuale” che ho preparato pre-puntata. Poi chiaramente gli altri partecipanti erano blind quindi si è deviato da questo percorso. La prima famiglia nei videogiochi è probabilmente la famiglia Mario. Luigi nasce come reskin del fratello per l'eventuale player 2 e poi si ritaglia un suo spazio. Ryu e Ken in Street Fighter non sono fratelli ma hanno una rappresentazione molto simile a quella di Mario e Luigi. Per anni la rappresentazione della famiglia nei videogiochi è arrivata dall'arcade, in particolare coi picchiaduro a scorrimento (Ninja Turtles, i Simpson, Double Dragon...). Forse inizia a cambiare qualcosa con i JRPG. La cosa comunque va avanti fino almeno a PS2, dove magari si inizia a raccontare anche qualcosa ma la famiglia è tendenzialmente scontro (Devil May Cry). Negli RPG inizia a spuntare la meccanica per cui ti sposi ma spesso è solo una fighetteria senza conseguenze. Quel merda di David Cage ci si butta a pesce con Heavy Rain e quella colata di diarrea di Beyond Due Anime, ma in quella generazione si inizia a costruire qualcosa di alternativo (vedi soprattutto Nier Replicant — questione fratello vs padre nella versione occidentale). Ci prova un po' anche Assassin's Creed, soprattutto per quanto riguarda Ezio e Connor. Ad una certa il tema si sdogana e si trova una rappresentazione molto più varia della famiglia, sia dal punto di vista dei conflitti che del supporto.

Frank and Squeaks cover Paramount's massive week of moves after the Skydance merger, including a new UFC deal, a bigger theatrical slate, a push for family adventure movies, and fresh Star Trek film plans. They react to Greta Gerwig's Narnia set photos, talk through the young Rambo prequel casting, and share practical steps for Roblox safety that parents can use right now. Reviews land for Alien Earth and King of the Hill. Plus, Frank chats with Alex Austin about building a social platform out of a podcast app and what moderation and growth look like in 2025. Convention plans and network updates round it out. Timestamps and topics 00:00 Introduction and announcements 00:41 LA Comic Con plans September 26 to 28 and Crocker Con preview 02:13 Paramount and Skydance overview and why it matters 03:28 UFC rights to Paramount Plus with select cards on CBS and the TKO wrinkle 06:19 Theatrical strategy shift to more movies per year and why mid range films matter 07:24 Family adventure focus with Goonies vibes and what that could mean 08:48 Duffer Brothers heading to Paramount and hopes for new franchises 12:36 Two Star Trek films in development and creative teams 15:29 Narnia first look from Greta Gerwig and why starting with The Magician's Nephew works 19:23 Rambo prequel casting and the case for original action stories 27:28 Roblox safety concerns and simple parent safeguards that actually help 39:31 Reviews segment setup 40:03 Alien Earth first impressions, tone craft, and that practical suit 45:00 Why it feels like Fargo in space, pacing structure and synth lore 54:53 Scores for Alien Earth 55:05 King of the Hill revival thoughts and why it feels like a real continuation 01:01:49 Interview with Alex Austin on building a social platform for podcasters 01:02:24 Network news Challenge Accepted Outlast Distance Nerding Fandom Portals Anime Plus 01:03:08 Frank joins the Sacramento Developer Collective board, and what that means 01:03:58 Weekly recommendations: Red Sonja reading and Peacemaker podcast 01:07:01 Ninja Turtles anniversary note and wrap up Key takeaways Paramount is shifting from eight theatrical releases this year to a target of 15 to 20 per year, which can revive mid-budget comedies and adventures and help theaters thrive. Family adventure is a priority which fills a gap left by pure superhero focus and could broaden audience reach. Two Star Trek films are on deck, one tied to the Kelvin crew and one new project from Toby Haynes. Narnia starts with The Magician's Nephew, which makes the world feel fresh while connecting to classic imagery. The Rambo prequel raises a bigger question about when to create new action icons instead of reviving old ones. Roblox needs stronger safety guardrails, while parents can act now with private servers, whitelists, spending locks, and no random chats. Alien Earth blends practical effects with slow-burning world-building and earns a nine out of ten from both hosts. King of the Hill nails a modern continuation that honors the original and lands a perfect ten out of ten from Frank. Memorable quotes Squeaks on Paramount. Right now, they are not messing around Frank Family adventure feels like the missing lane, and it is a smart way to reach everyone Frank Alien Earth plays like Fargo in space, and I mean that as a compliment Frank, this new King of the Hill does not feel like a reboot, it feels like the next season Squeaks if you are not doing enough to protect kids other people will try, and that should be a wake-up call Call to action If you enjoy the show tap Follow or Subscribe in your podcast app. Leave a quick rating and review to help more geeks find us.

Through various illustrative examples and biblical references, we explore how leaders must embody both clarity and certainty to effectively guide their followers. Additionally,Takeaways: The podcast episode features a dialogue on the distinction between clarity and certainty, emphasizing that clarity involves simplifying complex ideas for better understanding. Dick Foth articulates that certainty relates to firm convictions, whereas clarity seeks to elucidate these convictions for others. Howard Chang discusses his journey from a toy artist to a creator of faith-based figurines, illustrating how personal experiences shaped his current mission. The conversation touches on the importance of providing both clarity and certainty as leaders, suggesting that leaders must communicate effectively to guide their teams. Listeners are encouraged to support Howard Chang's new project, 'Ancientz', which aims to engage children with biblical stories through innovative toy designs. The episode concludes with a prayer for the success of the 'Ancient' project, reflecting a commitment to spreading faith-based narratives in a contemporary context.

What started as a 4:15 a.m. thought spirals into a full-blown deep dive on biblical fashion, purple sashes, and why Jesus might have been the original Ninja Turtle. Todd and Eric debate the historical practicality of robes, speculate on sash functionality (storage? style? loaves and fishes?), and take detours into Jedi wardrobe choices, South Park, and Genghis Khan's surprising contributions to humanity—namely, pants and hamburgers. It's equal parts history lesson, pop culture mash-up, and random middle-of-the-night musing that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about ancient wardrobes.Why purple is tied to royalty and how it became part of Jesus' look.Artistic choices in depictions of the Last Supper.The robe-versus-pants dilemma of biblical times.Genghis Khan's surprising fashion and food legacy.Jedi wardrobe logic (or lack thereof).The Ninja Turtle method of character differentiation applied to apostles.The possible practical uses of a sash (including storing miracles).
We're still recovering from SDCC 2025 so it's retro re-issue time! Enjoy this blast from the past of June 2018! ---------Original Write Up---------- Don't call it a Turtles Reboot! Today on the Toy Power Podcast, as a new era of Ninja Turtles approaches, we look back at the most successful of them all - the TMNT of 2003! It only seems like yesterday these guys were on store shelves but there's so much great stuff to rediscover: The Foot Elite Guard, Hun, Karai, a Shredder who can now stand upright and yes, even Fast Forward. Yeah I said it! We even look at the video game history of this iconic style. Ben also shares his amazing connection to the history of Turtles comics. Trent then tests the boys with a quiz that covers all of fandom. How many did you get right? All this and some of our Latest Scores, is just a click away!

In Nerd Culture #221 duiken we weer diep in de wereld van films, series, comics en meer. Van Castlefest en Magic: The Gathering tot de nieuwe Spider-Man: Brand New Day-onthullingen met Michael Mando's Scorpion en een mogelijke Venom-tease. We bespreken opvallend nieuws zoals Gina Carano's schikking met Disney, nieuwe Star Wars-casting, de toekomst van Sicario 3, en waarom Fantastic Four keihard crasht aan de box office. Plus: trailers, behind-the-scenes beelden, en een blik op wat Sony met het Spider-Man-universum van plan is.Fantastic Four crasht hard in de box officeDe kassa's blijven rinkelen voor Marvel, maar niet zo hard als gehoopt. The Fantastic Four: First Steps begon sterk met een openingsweekend van $117,6 miljoen, maar kelderde in het tweede weekend met maar liefst 66% naar $40 miljoen. Ondanks positieve reviews, goede mond-tot-mondreclame en weinig directe concurrentie, weet de film buiten de kern van hardcore superheldenfans maar lastig een breder publiek te bereiken. Analisten noemen de daling opvallend en plaatsen de film in hetzelfde rijtje als eerdere MCU-titels met forse tweedeweekdrops. Toch is er hoop: het wereldwijde resultaat ligt al hoger dan enkele recente Marvel-flops, en de echte klapper moet nog komen met Avengers.The Last Ronin gaat op Frank Miller's Dark Knight lijkenTMNT-co-creator Kevin Eastman heeft meer verteld over de aankomende live-action The Last Ronin-film, gebaseerd op de geliefde en duistere miniserie. Het verhaal volgt de laatste overlevende Ninja Turtle in een dystopische toekomst, op een wraakmissie tegen Oroku Hiroto, kleinzoon van Shredder. Eastman noemt het een “liefdesgedicht” aan Frank Millers The Dark Knight Returns: losstaand van de canon, maar diep geworteld in de Mirage-comics. Paramount en Nickelodeon ontwikkelen de film als een ruigere, mogelijk R-rated adaptatie. Volgens Eastman is dit “de juiste aanpak” om deze afsluitende Turtle-saga tot leven te brengen. Scorpion keert terug voor Spider-Man: Brand New DayMichael Mando keert terug als Mac Gargan/Scorpion in Spider-Man: Brand New Day en hint op Instagram naar twee grote onthullingen: een comic-accurate groene Scorpion-suit met mechanische staart én een mogelijke transformatie tot Venom. In de comics is Gargans Venom een brute, onvoorspelbare kracht – veel gewelddadiger dan Eddie Brock. Als Marvel dat pad volgt, kan Gargan evolueren van straatcrimineel tot dodelijke “protector”. De film, geregisseerd door Destin Daniel Cretton en met Tom Holland, Zendaya en Jon Bernthal, verschijnt op 31 juli 2026. Opnames vinden nu plaats in Glasgow.Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #22100:00:17 Wat gaan we vandaag doen?00:00:50 Magic: The Gathering00:07:55 Castlefest KCD2 panel00:14:13 Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End00:24:16 Stick00:28:53 Steven Spielberg: A Retrospective00:34:39 The Office00:36:28 The Paper Trailer00:41:01 Gerechtigheid voor Gina Carano00:44:27 Lightsabertje kopen?00:49:46 Star Wars Starfighter voegt opnieuw grote naam aan cast toe00:52:10 Zin in Sicario 3?

Spoiler: it's not metaphorical.But it wouldn't be a chingwag without a tangent or two… so of course, we take a test to see which Ninja Turtle we'd be and, in true chaotic fashion, one of us manages to get stabbed mid-story by being completely careless. Yes, really.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we are still down a Scot, as he is still unwell. But that will not slow him down in contributing to this ep! Before we get into the main segments, we chat about Ben & Frank's latest Plastic Addiction, in the form of Transformers Blokees! Prior to chatting about the Superman Film itself, we focus on the Toy likeness compared to what the actor actually looks like! With a little Jurassic World banter in between. Then, without another moment to spare, we get right into the James Gunn driven film itself! We chat towards our Cinema experiences and start off with a non-spoiler discussion; before we head into a chat about the whole Film itself! Giving it our typical DVG rating out of 19 too. Then changing gears, we introduce a New segment - named: Variant Schmariant! We each pick two variants of a pre-existing character (in toy form) that just doesn't need to exist. We unearth some quite silly versions of characters that had a legitimate Toy Release; that clearly logic was not a concern at all!! Plus we tie a nice bow around the proposed Nick-Names for both Frank & Scot. Enjoy!!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The summer of 2025 has been a time of chaos. A time of confusion. And a time of distress for many Americans. But for independent Americans it's been a little bit different. In between all of the moments of turmoil have been glimmers of hope, a chance at a better future. And that better future is being driven by independents. From Jim Walden's upstart mayoral campaign in New York City to the Badlands of South Dakota and Brian Bengs' renegade Senate run, to last episode's guest from the great state of Idaho, Todd Achilles — there's been a lot coming from independents to get excited about. And now there's more! Independent Navy vet Dan Osborn (@OsbornForSenate) is back in the fight. And this time, he's running against Nebraska's other MAGA Republican Senator billionaire: Pete Ricketts. It's the ultimate David vs Goliath showdown. And this time, Dan's got some experience, a network, name recognition and is hitting the ground running. Dan served in the Navy and later joined the Army National Guard. He's a steamfitter, industrial mechanic, and a badass labor union leader. He led a successful strike at Kellogg's Omaha plant in 2021. And ran for Senate in 2024–narrowly losing to incumbent Deb Fischer. But at the same time, Dan laid down the foundation for this run while inspiring a new generation of independent leaders across the country. His race was a direct challenge to the party system and it showed everyone a new way to run—and offered a new vision for what a political race can look like. If you've listened to the show for a while now, you'll know Dan and what he's meant to the movement. If you're new here, get ready to get fired up. In the immortal words of Vin Diesel, “We live for this….” Stuff. And there's more as your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) rips into Ukraine, Waltz, SignalGate, Hegseth and all of the latest national security news that you need to stay on top of. And a megadose of inspiration with a quick hit on Youman Wilder—a New York City little league coach that stood up to ICE and has inspired millions. Because Independent Americans is built on the Righteous Media 5 Is: independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact. And this episode has it in spades. Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope. It's the truth beyond the headlines–and light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's built for the 49% of Americans that proudly call themselves independent and we're proud to stand with you. -Learn more about Dan Osborn and his race on his campaign website. -Join the movement.
