Joe and Nathan are back together after a brief on-air feud, and they waste no time revisiting their phone call drama, awkward goodbyes, and the strange ways friendships can spiral into podcast content. Nathan shares highlights from his New York trip, including attending the Tony Awards, spotting Broadway celebrities, sneaking into an afterparty, and unexpectedly warming up to a certain Drag Race queen. The pair then dive into the latest Drag Race-adjacent controversy as they break down a viral TikTok accusing Morgan McMichaels of trying to sabotage another performer's gig. Joe and Nathan examine the claims, question the evidence, and offer their own theories about what may have actually happened behind the scenes. Plus, listener voicemails return with updates from Lord Newton, a challenge for Nathan's hand in marriage, a classic Afterthought Media callback involving a little person and a print shop, and a surprisingly detailed discussion of a very unusual dream featuring J. Thomas Plank and Little Delicious. Also this week: Edinburgh travel plans, Disney cruises, Toy Story 5 anticipation, theater talk, Stop That Train reviews, obsession with Obsession, and plenty of the usual Rumor Mill chaos. This episode contains adult language and mature content. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Sami Spalter is back in her nesting series and nine months in, she's sharing the six mantras that have carried her through every appointment, every body change, and every wave of doubt. The actual words she came back to when pregnancy got hard.Tune in as Sami gets real about the strength she endures, the journal entry from Hoffman that pulled her through it, why she believes worry is just a negative prayer and what it actually felt like to stop doing it, the moment she had to consciously let go of who she used to be in her body and choose to focus on who she was becoming. She shares the mantra she wrote in her journal every single day, the meditation where she asked her baby girl if she was okay and actually heard something back, and why reminding herself that her baby chose her, with all her imperfections, her big personality, the home she's building — finally quieted the doubt.If you're somewhere in this pregnancy journey right now, terrified, in awe, grieving, grateful, or all of it at once — this one was made for you!!Transform Instagram - click here!Sami Spalter Instagram - click here!Sami Clarke Instagram - click here!FORM Shop - click here!FORM Website - click here!Code TRANSFORM for 20% off an annual membership.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In 2019, two women were brutally murdered within hours of each other in Cape Coral, Florida. The man responsible, Wade Wilson, would later confess to the killings and ultimately be sentenced to death. But as the case gained national attention, Wilson became the subject of something few expected: a devoted online fanbase. Social media users dubbed him the "Deadpool Killer," creating fan pages, viral videos, and even sending love letters to a convicted murderer. Award-winning journalist Kaitlin Knapp joins Chanley to break down the murders, the warning signs that preceded them, and the disturbing online fascination that turned a killer into an internet celebrity.

I said, ‘Oh I'm sorry I was so grumpy on the drive'”“I love that movie man.

On today's show, we're putting on our jerseys and dodging wrenches as we run to mid-court to talk about 2004's DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY! We discuss the quirky cast of average joes, Ben Stiller portraying the same character he played in 1995's 'Heavyweights', the many jokes that absolutely *HAVE NOT* aged well, and much more! We also do some non-spoiler discussion of some recently released films, including Masters of the Universe (2026), Obsession (2026), & Disclosure Day (2026). PLUS: The movie trailer for 'How To Rob A Bank' (2026), a surprising amount of Eminem trivia, and of course...Flag Day (kinda). ———————————————————— To see images of the stuff discussed, look at your device's screen while listening!

From there, things get unexpectedly historical: Tom breaks down the story of the guy who invented the meter and got guillotined for it, which leads them down a rabbit hole of people killed for their big ideas, the French Revolution as the original cancel culture, and Martin Luther versus the Catholic Church. Then it gets personal — Bert tells the full Patrice O'Neal story: getting destroyed at his first open mic, the Edinburgh trip where they lived together for 29 days watching Bruce Lee movies and Bert getting his feelings systematically demolished, and the moment he found out Patrice had tweeted something kind about him right before the stroke. Tom and Bert also spiral deep into funeral planning — who's required to show up, who gets a Sandler video instead of a live appearance, why Ari's funeral is going to involve hardcore Brooklyn relatives and a lot of confusion, the Andrew Schultz balloon clown apology Bert wants delivered posthumously, and whether or not to get cremated when science might figure something out. Plus: horror movies vs. comedy movies as investments, the film Obsession and its director Curry Baker, Bert's dad crashing the podcast mid-funeral conversation, the band Goose vs. the band Geese, and Mount Joy watching Passion of the Christ on the tour bus. 2 Bears, 1 Cave Ep. 331 https://tomsegura.com/tourhttps://www.bertbertbert.com/tourhttps://store.ymhstudios.com In Partnership with DraftKings.

OBSESSION has rewritten the Hollywood rulebook and one man is responsible for that -- director Curry Barker, all of 26 years old. Since his under million dollar horror feature debuted last month, the film and Barker's reputation have grown week by week. Josh catches up with Curry in the middle of this amazing run to find out what it's like to have THE film everyone is talking about, getting shouted by Steven Spielberg, getting offered projects like TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, and maintaining artistic integrity even as offers come flooding in. #happysadconfused #joshhorowitz #obsession #currybarker NOTE: This conversation contains OBSESSION spoilers!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday & welcome to our FIRST week of 3 episodes a week!!! (Mon/Wed/Fri…) And YES, we are kicking things off with a LITTLE chaos (there were storms in Texas last night and everyone was up all night!!) So if you think this episode feels all over the place… IT IS!! (welcome to the inside of our brains on a Monday morning lol). On today's episode: we get into a parenting concept that has officially rewired our brain: toddlers are SCIENTISTS!!! We are SO down to let our kids experiment + learn from their mistakes (safely). Plus, our #1 toddler hack: give them two choices (it has saved us in SO many standoffs already). First we get into the World Cup… it's taking over our lives (and America) in the best way possible!!! The TikTok video of girls asking "wait, when did the US get into the World Cup?!" sent us, the European fans are LOSING THEIR MINDS over Buc-ee's, ranch, & unlimited refills (& sales tax not being on the list price?!), and Rod Stewart canceled his concert to go to a World Cup game (Harrison's defense: no chance, you'd NEVER do that for a group stage match — it was laryngitis). Plus, Elon Musk officially became the world's FIRST trillionaire after SpaceX's IPO (Stock School with Harrison incoming!), the Summer House butterfly effect (Harrison's wildest theory yet on Jesse, Sierra & West), and the question we cannot stop thinking about: will Taylor & Travis ACTUALLY get married at MSG?! (& who would perform??
We back talking indie creator movies doing numbers, Marvel's Doomsday rollout, and most importantly GAMES!
Hollywood is having a Marie Antoinette moment. The people running studios and making AI announcements have no idea how their decisions are landing with the audience that actually buys tickets, and the backlash to Jorge R. Gutierrez announcing Punky Duck as an AI project is just the most recent and visible proof. Chris and Daniel are joined by Trina Renee, a studio-side post producer whose client credits run through Warner Brothers and Fox, and Julianna Medina-Politsky, who spent a decade as an executive at Legendary Entertainment and now runs Station X Ventures, for a conversation that is more grounded in the realities of production and finance than most discussions of this subject ever get. The episode tracks what is actually happening right now. Obsession got made with private equity because Universal passed, and it worked. The Backrooms built a decade of community before anyone put it in a theater, and the studios still haven't figured out what that means for distribution. Gareth Edwards keeps coming up as the filmmaker who understands this moment best, someone who always worked like he was discovering the movie rather than executing a plan, and who is now using AI the same way. The conversation keeps landing on the same uncomfortable truth: taste is the only thing that cannot be automated, and the industry keeps trying to route around it. Guests: Trina Renee on IMDB > Julianna Medina-Politsky > Referenced in this episode: Station X Ventures > Legendary Entertainment > Latina Squad > Jorge R.

On the first episode of the With That Being Said Podcast, host J.R. Bang is joined by Miriam Dixon, creator of “The Road To 40 and Beyond” and “Mimi's Tease,” for a deep dive into the craziest TV shows and movies they've ever seen. Together, they unpack Miriam's journey to 40, how her love of TV and film shaped her podcasts, and why dark storytelling hits different as you get older. Then they test their limits with suspense and horror, from psychological thrillers like Obsession and Cape Fear on Apple TV to classic nightmares like A Nightmare on Elm Street.J.R. and Miriam each share the TV episodes and films that stuck with them the most: Obsession's cursed love story, the brutal seven deadly sins of Seven, and the Game of Thrones Red Wedding and Ramsay Bolton's torture of Theon. Miriam adds her own list with the true‑crime‑inspired Monster: The Ed Gein Story, the twisted relationship thriller His & Hers, and more. They close with a rapid‑fire round on the scariest and craziest characters they've ever seen—and the one movie they refuse to watch under any circumstances.If you love TV and movie breakdowns, psychological thrillers, true‑crime‑inspired series, and honest conversations about how much horror you can really handle, this episode is for you. Follow the show, rate and review, and share it with a friend who lives for wild plot twists and dark, binge‑worthy stories.
We get into the new wave of YT creators bringing their vision to the big screen with Obsession and Iron Lung and then it's a deep dive on the tumultuous Destiny 2 new and the triumph that is Monuments of Triumph!

The PhilenApocalypse is back and this time cannabis comic Ngaio Bealum is here to witness it! This year Philena takes a swipe at super heroes just as their box office fortunes are starting to wane. Her first pick puts the trans in transgressive as trans femme comedian Vera Drew violates all manner of copyrights with THE PEOPLE'S JOKER (2022), a stinging satire of Batman and stand-up comedy wrapped in a surprisingly personal coming-of-age tale. It'll all make sense if you just watch it on Tubi, but not before getting your strain recs from Ngaio and Philena. And then Philena goes a little more mainstream with SKY HIGH (2005), a live-action Disney comedy about a high school for superheroes that is floating in the clouds. Philena thought this was something she dreamed up until rediscovering it recently. It does exist! The movie has one of the most loaded casts ever with Kurt Russell, Kelly Preston, Bruce Campbell (!), Lynda Carter (!!), Chloris Leachman (!!!), Mary Elizabeth Winstead + Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald from "The Kids in the Hall"!!! Even with Philena controlling the horizontal and the vertical, she has to endure Ngaio and Bob descending into fanboy talk as they go way too deep into Legion of Super Heroes lore for a while, but Philena was fascinated by the tragic tale of Triplicate Girl and Duo Damsel at least. SKY HIGH is streaming on Disney+. Philena, Ngaio and Bob also discuss the zero-budget hit horror movies BACK ROOMS and OBSESSION. Are the Zoomer YouTubers taking over Hollywood, or is everyone is just sick of super heroes and STAR WARS??? The OMFYS trio entertain and inform as they grasp at answers. You can now hear Ngaio on CROSS-POLINATION, a 2-hour showcase of great music and comedy every Tuesday from 10am to Noon on Sacramento's KUTZ 95.7 FM.

You might think you don't know Christophe Szpajdel's work. You almost certainly do. The Emperor logo. The Metallica Mankind clip. The Rihanna lettering that went a hundred feet high at the MTV VMAs. If you've spent any time near heavy music, his hand has been on things you've stared at without knowing his name.This week we sit down with the man known as Lord of the Logos — Belgian-born, Devon-based, currently on shift at the Co-op — to talk about a career that has produced somewhere between 10,000 and 15,000 logos, and counting. We get into his early years doodling in school notebooks in Liège, the Art Nouveau obsession that underpins everything, and how a chance encounter on the Tube ended with his work displayed at one of the biggest awards shows on the planet for £500 — a fee he only learned was for Rihanna after he'd already quoted it.We cover the Emperor logo that defined his reputation, the Metallica commission that required him to draw at Heathrow five hours before a flight to Japan, and the Foo Fighters Christmas jumper that was a mutilation of his work, and what he did about it. We also discuss the readability question that divides the scene, the three-month creative block triggered by a South Korean band, his forestry degree and why nature sits at the centre of everything he makes, and the political stance on Ukraine that has cost him ten logos in one go.The question running through all of it: how does someone this prolific stay original?Highlights 00:00 Intro 01:00 Meet Christophe Szpajdel — Lord of the Logos 04:00 Logo Count and the Goal of 20,000 by 2030 06:00 The Process Explained 09:00 The Unsung Logo and Chris's Tattoo 10:00 Background: Belgium, Poland, Ukraine, Devon 11:00 The Co-op Day Job and Why It Works 13:00 Side Projects: Murals and the Polish Calendar 17:00 Musical Influences: Kiss, Motörhead, Celtic Frost 19:00 First Logos and Early Career 21:00 The Emperor Logo 25:00 Chilean Influence: Rick Zuniga 26:00 Nature, Art Nouveau, and the Forestry Degree 28:00 Best Work Comes from Anger or Obsession with Death 29:00 Symmetry, Creative Block, and the Client Problem 33:00 Live: Working Through the Drag Logo 38:00 The Readability Debate 43:00 The Rihanna Story 47:00 Metallica at Heathrow 53:00 The Foo Fighters Bootleg Response 54:00 The Mandy Soundtrack 57:00 AI and Market Saturation 59:00 Ukraine, Politics, and the Russian Flatmate 01:02:00 Losing Ten Logos Over a Political Stance 01:03:00 Black Metal, Church Burnings, and Forbidden Fruit 01:08:00 The Trump/Putin Artwork 01:09:00 The Books: Lord of the Logos, Archaic Modernism, Oracles in Black

It appears tech bros are shaking in their boots because... they're being called cringe - even when they buy a Rimowa suitcase and a full wardrobe from The Row. In a now viral essay, writer Emily Segal assigns the term 'tasteslop' to the lack of taste signified by items that used to be upheld highly in the taste algorithm when enjoyed by those who don't get it - aka, AI bots and the AI company owners.This week, hosts Ione and Gina rub their hands together because The Polyester Book Of Bad Taste is landing on shelves just in time to tackle the tasteslop phenomenon. The pair chat through why everyone is speaking about taste right now, how the inherent hierarchies of taste are changing and whether or not we're heading towards the worst outcome of all: The era of no taste.Support our work and become a Polyester Podcast member
This week, we review this summer's OTHER horror movie phenomenon: 20-year-old filmmaker Kane Parsons' Backrooms. Based off a viral 2022 YouTube series depicting the exploration of the titular liminal space, Backrooms adapts the creepypasta into full-blown Hollywood spectacle. As the great YouTuber-to-filmmaker war of 2026 draws to a close, we crown a victor in the arena of Obsession vs. Backrooms.
This week on PREVIOUSLY ON… Jason and Rosie check in on the massive success of Obsession and Backrooms and discuss the YouTube to theatrical release creator pipeline. They also share updates about the John Wick spin-off Caine featuring Donnie Yen and Jason Momoa leaving the upcoming Helldivers movie. Next, they discuss the mixed early reviews for Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day and debate whether directors over the age of 70 can still deliver hits.

On today's podcast, David, Jason and John talk about David's big night out in LA where no phones were allowed, how Jason participated in a Senior scavenger hunt with a big celeb, and how John has just about had it traveling the world. Also, David and Jason argue about Hollywood's wage gap and the movie "Obsession," David gets ready for a star studded pickleball event, and what it's like growing up in LA. And a little bit later, David and Jason tackle the topic of going to college vs. joining the real world right out of high school. And a professional partner gives David the secret to staying out late (and it's not what you think.)

It's blockbuster season, but low-budget horror films from YouTubers — like Iron Lung, Obsession, and Backrooms — are what's got Hollywood talking.

“Obsession” is about a guy who makes a wish for a girl to love him “more than anyone in the entire world.” What follows is a classic horror movie trope: the girlfriend from hell. One of the movie's tag lines is “be careful who you wish for.” And younger audiences are flocking to see “Obsession,” making it a genuine Gen Z phenomenon. The film's writer-director-editor, Curry Barker, is also part of that generation. The 26-year-old, who had previously been making content for YouTube, is now responsible for a film that has made over $230 million (so far) on a budget of $750,000. Hollywood has taken notice. Barker has been offered an eight-figure deal for his next movie, sight unseen. For Wesley Morris, the success of “Obsession” raises a bigger question about relationships today: Is this how the young folks think about love—as something that should appear instantaneously, without effort, but might also ruin their lives? With all this in mind, Wesley invited Angelica Jade Bastién, a pop culture critic with New York Magazine, onto the show to ask, “Are the kids all right?” Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Every medication has an expiration date—but what exactly happens when that date passes? Does the medicine suddenly stop working? Does it become dangerous? The answer is more complicated than most people realize and depends greatly on the medication itself. https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/expiration-dating-extension Everyone procrastinates. We put off phone calls, projects, conversations, paperwork, workouts, and sometimes the very things we know would make our lives better. What's strange is that procrastination rarely makes us feel good. The unfinished task lingers in the background, creating stress, guilt, and mental clutter. So why do we keep doing it? And why do some people insist they "work best under pressure"? According to Jon Acuff, procrastination has far less to do with laziness than most people think. In this conversation, he explains the real reasons we get stuck, why motivation is often overrated, and the practical strategies that help people finally start—and finish—the things that matter most. Jon is a bestselling author, one of Inc. Magazine's Top 100 Leadership Speakers, and author of Procrastination Proof: Never Get Stuck Again (https://amzn.to/43Hs5Cr). Criminal profiling has become one of the most enduring ideas in modern crime-solving. We've seen it countless times: investigators study a crime scene, build a psychological profile of the killer, and use it to catch the culprit. It makes for great television. But how well does it work in the real world? The true history of criminal profiling is far more complicated—and controversial—than most people realize. Rachel Corbett, whose work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and The Atlantic, explains how profiling rose to prominence, why it captured the public imagination, and whether it has ever lived up to its reputation as a crime-fighting tool. She is author of The Monsters We Make: Murder, Obsession, and the Rise of Criminal Profiling (https://amzn.to/3RIIrZ2). Can a scent make people trust you more? Surprisingly, research suggests that one familiar fragrance may subtly influence how trustworthy others perceive you to be. It's not mind control—but it may help explain why first impressions are affected by more than just what people see and hear. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.01486/full PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS POCKET HOSE: For a limited time, when you purchase a new Pocket Hose Ballistic, you'll get a FREE 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a FREE thumb drive nozzle!
