Ignorance meets lows standards! Nithya Raman surged past Spencer Pratt over the weekend, exploding accusations of election fraud in California. Sloppy bureaucracy? Straight-up theft in broad daylight? Or.... Moronic electorate? Meanwhile, Evil Trump walks out of his Meet the Press interview after Kristen Welker demands "evidence" on the CA rigging claims.

Glengarry Glen Ross is a drama film about real estate salesmen. It doesn't sound that interesting. However, when it's written by David Mamet (The Postman Always Rings Twice, The Untouchables, American Buffalo), directed by James Foley (Fear, Who's That Girl, At Close Range) and starring Jack Lemmon (Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, The China Syndrome), Alec Baldwin (Beetlejuice, The Hunt For Red October, The Boss Baby), Ed Harris (The Truman Show, The Abyss, The Rock), Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine, Edward Scissorhands, Fire Sale), Kevin Spacey (The Usual Suspects, American Beauty, L.A. Confidential), Jonathan Pryce (Brazil, Evita, The Age of Innocence) and Al Pacino (Serpico, The Godfather, Dick Tracy), then it is anything but boring.British film critic Tom Beasley joins the podcast to discuss this 1992 film. Tom talks about his love of swearing in it, how each actor knows when to step aside for another actor to have their moment and why Pacino's performance is so full-on. He also talks about why it is a terrible title for a film.All About Al: The Pacino Podcast is written, produced and presented by Mark Searby. Hosted on Acast.

Russell Crowe and Al Pacino are oustanding in this one, the story of a 60 Minutes report into the tobacco industry. The Man Who Knew Too Much? That's Crowe - he has a conscious and wants to expose the industry, Pacino - the 60 producer has the yarn and is a man of his word. Fire up your Fetch on your Hisense TV and enjoy a Hidden Gem.

Chosen by Chris, Heat arrived in 1995 as Michael Mann's grand, granite-jawed crime epic: a nearly three-hour Los Angeles thriller with the emotional temperature of a fridge full of loaded handguns. Produced by Mann and Art Linson, the film brought together Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on-screen for the first time, backed by a frankly ridiculous ensemble including Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Amy Brenneman, Wes Studi, Mykelti Williamson and Ted Levine. With a reported budget of around $60 million, this was not some cosy little cops-and-robbers caper; it was prestige crime cinema wearing an expensive suit and staring silently out over the freeway.Mann shot Heat across Los Angeles with an obsessive eye for real streets, glass towers, night skies and urban loneliness, giving the city the feel of a living, humming machine. The production became famous for its realism, its meticulous preparation and its muscular sense of place, while the film went on to earn strong reviews, solid box office returns and a lasting reputation as one of the defining American crime films of the 1990s. Its influence can still be felt in modern heist films, police thrillers and brooding men looking meaningfully at skylines.Trailer Guy Plot SynopsisIn a city where every streetlight hides a secret, one master thief lives by a code: never get attached to anything you cannot walk away from in thirty seconds flat.But when a relentless detective begins closing in, two men on opposite sides of the law discover they may understand each other better than anyone else ever could. One hunts. One runs. Both are trapped by the lives they chose.This winter, Los Angeles becomes a battlefield of loyalty, obsession, coffee, suits, guns, and the sort of emotional repression that can only be solved by staring across a table like two divorced panthers.Fun FactsHeat was adapted from ideas Michael Mann had explored years earlier in his 1989 TV film L.A. Takedown.The character Neil McCauley was inspired by a real criminal pursued by Chicago police officer Chuck Adamson.Despite both appearing in The Godfather Part II, Pacino and De Niro did not share scenes in that film, making Heat their first proper on-screen pairing.The famous diner conversation was shot with multiple cameras to capture both actors' performances naturally.The film's long runtime meant its original VHS release had to be split across two tapes, which feels deeply appropriate for a film this committed to being massive.Dante Spinotti's cinematography uses natural and practical lighting to give the film its cool, metallic Los Angeles atmosphere.Kate Mantilini, the restaurant used for the iconic meeting scene, later closed in 2014.Christopher Nolan has cited Heat as an influence on his approach to Gotham City in The Dark Knight.The film's weapon handling and shootout sequences are often praised for their realism and have become a benchmark for crime-action filmmaking.MUSICCheckout the parody music from the show on Spotify here.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

In the second of my two-parter on Dog Day Afternoon, we get out of the fictional universe of the film and explore the real people behind the characters shown onscreen. John Wojtowicz' life proved truly stranger and more depressingly pedestrian than fiction. So much so that he preferred the fictional version of himself and performed that role for the rest of his life after being released from prison in 1978 until his death in 2006. The LIFE Magazine article that caught the attention of Pacino's producer and manager. A very good jailhouse interview with John Wojtowicz from the Village Voice's Cliff Jahr. The excellent documentary Based on a True Story: Dog Day Afternoon by the Dutch filmmaker Walter Stokman. The documentary that covers more of the end of John's life, The Dog. Pierre Huyghe's installation video art piece Third Memory, an indispensable part of understanding memory, film, and the roles we perform. I didn't get to this in the podcast but here's an unpublished essay John wrote to the NY Times reviewing the film. 1978 Washington Post profile of John, freshly out of prison.

Keanu Reeves stars as Kevin Lomax, a small town defense lawyer with an impressive undefeated winning streak. He's scouted by Al Pacino as John Milton, the head of an acclaimed New York City law firm, who wants to change Lomax's life by adding him to the roster. Eagle-eared viewers may recognize the name John Milton as a reference to the author of legendary Bible fanfiction Paradise Lost. This might be your first indication that Pacino's character is the devil himself, that Reeves's character is about to make a Faustian bargain, and that the legal system is about to be used as an allegory for Christian morality. This is the most 1990s trope imaginable, an era when filmmakers were obsessed with elevating the mundane by showing it as a backdrop between the battle between angels and demons. Another distinctly 1990s decadence is needing the movie to be "smart, sexy, funny" — when THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE does rarely jump the shark into groan-inducing campiness, it's when the film attempts to flatter the viewer's sense of sophistication. However it's still a welcome nostalgic departure from mainstream movies nowadays that openly market themselves as slop from a trough for the lowest bidder. But it's the smart writing and impressive production design that makes THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE's heavy handed tropes and conservative morality feel delightfully predictable instead of tediously formulaic.

This week we talk the film, but as always the film is simply a jumping off point for a greater undestanding, in the case an understanding of 1990s culture, the crime genre, brilliant acting and direction, and our own personal growth and attachment to the ideas, warnings, and lessons of this exceptional film. A modern day criminal tragedy which re-invents a story that has been told thousands of times and somehow manages to make all things fresh and unique. With a brilliant cast including the aforementioned DeNiro and Pacino, but also Wes Studi, Ted Levine, Mykelti Williamson, Diane Verona, Tom Sizemore, Danny Trejo, Amy Brenneman, William Fichtner, Ashley Judd, Hank Azaria, Natalie Portman, Henry Rollins, John Voight, Kevin Gage, Bud Cort, a heartbreaking Dennis Haysbert, and a brilliant Val Kilmer, Michael Mann's Heat is a beautifully rendered, heartbreaking crime tragedy that feels real, lived in, and timeless.

Julie Pacino, daughter of Al Pacino, makes her feature-length directorial debut this week with the new horror flick “I Live Here Now," available on Video On Demand. She joined me to discuss the film's psychological allegory and her own evolution as a filmmaker, following in the footsteps of her legendary father, star of classics like “The Godfather,” “Dog Day Afternoon” and “Scarface.” (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")
According to IMDB.com, Actor Neal Jones (Dirty Dancing, Generation Kill, Rescue Me) has worked with Al Pacino four times - Glengarry Glen Ross, Looking For Richard, The Devil's Advocate and Chinese Coffee. But the truth is very different.Neal joins to podcast to discuss how he was cast in Glengarry Glen Ross, what it was like reading lines with Pacino and why he has appeared in that many films with Al. He also, for the first time ever, talks about his working relationship with Pacino and how it's more than what people know.

A boxing update no one asked for, pillows from Satan, a passable Pacino, the larger than life Mickey Rourke, Tiger troubles, a totally fun 80's Kurt Russell actioner, a flawed but ambitious time bending movie, and the way to find a treasure. Stuff mentioned: Sebastian Fundora vs. Keith Thurman (March 28, 2026), Game of Death (1978), Heat (1995), Johnny Handsome (1989), Mask (1985), Executive Decision (1986), Memento (2000), and Redux, Redux (2025).
Looking For Richard was Al Pacino's directorial debut. It explores William Shakespeare's lasting impact in pop culture, particularly the playwright's highly regarded "Richard III." The documentary includes on-the-street interviews with ordinary people and academic perspectives from Shakespearean scholars. Actors such as Kenneth Branagh (Murder on the Orient Express, Much Ado About Nothing, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets), Alec Baldwin (Glengarry Glen Ross, Beetlejuice, 30 Rock), Kevin Spacey (The Usual Suspects, Seven, American Beauty) and Winona Ryder (Dracula, Heathers, Edward Scissorhands) talk about preparing to play key scenes of "Richard III," which come staged with Pacino in the title role.Film and TV critic Matt Zoller Seitz joins the podcast to discuss the documentary. Matt talks about how this is a different type of Shakespeare documentary, why Pacino is trying to open The Bard up to the masses and what makes this such an accessible piece of filmmaking. Matt also talks about what it's like seeing Pacino up close with his fans. All About Al: The Pacino Podcast is written, produced and presented by Mark Searby. Hosted on Acast.

El podcast de cine de esRadio conversa sobre Heat, el thriller de los noventa que juntó a Al Pacino y Robert De Niro. Pocas películas tienen tan claro que aspiran a clásico del séptimo arte como Heat. Cuando se estrenó a mediados de los noventa, el film de Michael Mann se promocionó como la ansiada reunión de dos ídolos, Robert De Niro y Al Pacino, por mucho que ambos compartan más bien pocas escenas en las tres hodas de pelicula. Pero el tiempo ha situado el film todavía más arriba en el panteón de las películas más influyentes de finales de siglo. En este nuevo podcast de Par-Impar, Juanma González y Dani Palacios conversan con José Fortaña, del podcast CineActual, sobre este fenomenal thriller de los noventa. Y ojo, lo hacen con un reducido público en el estudio, por lo que no te extrañes si oyes alguna propuesta fuera de micrófonos. La película es célebre, ante todo, por reunir en una misma pantalla a dos titanes de la interpretación: Al Pacino y Robert De Niro. El término original Heat hace referencia a la presión policial que siente el delincuente mientras disecciona la vida de dos profesionales en extremos opuestos de la ley que, sin embargo, comparten una ética de trabajo implacable y una soledad compartida que los hace extrañamente similares. Uno de los puntos fuertes destacados es el estilo visual de Michael Mann. Se subraya su capacidad para dotar a las escenas de una atmósfera hipnótica, apoyada en la fotografía de Dante Spinotti y una banda sonora ambiental, con temas de Moby, que rehúye los tópicos del cine de acción convencional. La película no tiene prisa; se toma casi tres horas para desarrollar no solo la trama del gran atraco al banco, sino también la maraña de subtramas personales que humanizan a todo el equipo de criminales y policías. El personaje de Robert De Niro, Neil McCauley, encarna al criminal disciplinado cuya máxima es no tener nada en la vida que no puedas dejar atrás en treinta segundos si sientes la presencia de la justicia a la vuelta de la esquina. Frente a él, el Vincent Hanna de Al Pacino es un detective consumido por su oficio, cuya vida personal es un desastre de matrimonios fallidos, pero que posee una agudeza intelectual que le permite reconocer en McCauley a un igual. Asimismo, el podcast reflexiona sobre el papel de las mujeres en este universo. Personajes interpretados por Ashley Judd o Diane Venora no son simples adornos, sino el reflejo del sacrificio emocional que conlleva la obsesión por el deber o el crimen. La fragilidad masculina se hace evidente cuando estos hombres ven cómo sus mundos afectivos se desmoronan por su incapacidad de conciliar la vida profesional con la personal.

Bill Maher sits down with actor Cary Elwes for a freewheeling conversation that starts with hair jokes and quickly becomes a masterclass in craft, including the moment Al Pacino changed Cary's life with a simple “work the muscle” speech. They take on Hollywood's gun obsession, Olivier vs. Brando, Kubrick's genius (and excess), whether 2001 is transcendent or a sedative, and why A Clockwork Orange still ignites debate decades later. Along the way: Braveheart, Scarface tattoos, and Catholic guilt. They cancel hell, roast John Wick, and somehow land on the idea of Pacino as God in Purgatory.

So with that in mind we here at Apocalypse Video are pulling out all the stops and doing everything within our meager power to make this new year somewhat bearable, which is why every month in 2026 (or whatever year it is in the Wasteland…) will henceforth be known as “Oops, All Theme Months!!!”. And unlike last year, we're not starting with the wimpy and conservative JC – no, no…we're starting off strong with the Dark One, baby!That's right…Jesusary is no more…long live: Satanuary!! All month long at Apocalypse Video, we're giving tribute to the Dark Lord by diving into the depths of Satan's most devilish and diabolical filmography…First up, we answer our summons and appear in court as Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino chew up the scenery in the fiendishly horny and over the top legal thriller: The Devil's Advocate.I'm your host and Shift Leader in the Devil's Entertainment Division, Dave, and joining me as we try out our best Gainesville, Florida accents is fellow cinephile and Third Degree Master in Fire and Brimstone, Mike.Topics of discussion in this episode include Keanu's wildly entertaining and fluctuating southern accent; we salute Pacino as he absolutely goes off in a pre-Dunkachino performance; and finally, we question the merits of floor-sex and wonder why Charlize Theron with her hair up is somehow considered “dumpy” looking.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com That'll do it for the first film of Satanuary. When we return we'll be getting silly (and sexy) with Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser as we watch the forgotten Harold Ramis comedy remake, Bedazzled.
On episode 134 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and Izzy of Be Kind Rewind to discuss the next film in their Warren Beatty series, Dick Tracy (1990). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. It took Beatty nine years to return to the director's chair after winning his Oscar for Reds, but when he did, he made a flashy, bold, audacious crime caper straight from the beloved comic book of the same name. Donning the iconic yellow trench coat, Beatty brought the world of Dick Tracy to life with music, vibrant colors, insane make-up design, and memorable supporting characters (an all-time Al Pacino), but in making the film, Beatty connected with the titular police detective grew larger than life, as he completed his mission he set out since 1975 to make. Finally getting the rights, he was able to shoot for the fences with this one, and make an entertaining picture that still holds up to today. Ryan, Jay, Erik, and Izzy break down their thoughts on the film, Beatty's relationship with his co-star Madonna, how wild Pacino gets within the film, if Beatty is right for the part of Dick Tracy, the production design, the recurring videos Beatty releases to keep the film rights, and if they like the original songs in the film from the legendary Steven Sondheim. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 2h16m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Warren Beatty with a review of his next film, Bulworth. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Movie of the Year: 1971The Panic in Needle ParkWhy Panic in Needle Park Still ResonatesIn this episode of Movie of the Year, Ryan, Greg, and Mike revisit Panic in Needle Park (1971), an unflinching and immersive portrait of addiction, intimacy, and desperation etched into the grit of New York in the 70s. The film's stark realism and emotional rawness turn what might have been exploitation into something astonishingly human — and absolutely unforgettable.The Taste Buds explore how Schatzburg's shots and the fraught dynamics of Bobby and Helen place Panic in Needle Park among the most honest depictions of addiction and dependency in American cinema.SCHATZBURG'S SHOTS: Cinematic Realism Without ArtificeDirector Jerry Schatzberg crafts Panic in Needle Park with a visual language that refuses escape. Rather than offering stylized glamour, Schatzburg's shots are observational and immersive — handheld, close, and relentlessly present. These techniques force viewers into the characters' world, where discomfort isn't cinematic but immediate and visceral.The Taste Buds discuss how Schatzberg uses tight framing, real location shooting, and a documentary-like approach to blur the line between performance and lived experience — making addiction feel as suffocating onscreen as it must in reality.Bobby and Helen and Al: Love, Dependency, and CollapseAt the emotional core of the film lies the complex, destructive relationship of Bobby and Helen. Bobby and Helen's relationship is not romanticized — it's transactional, codependent, and shaped by survival on the margins. Al looms as both enabler and inevitability, a reminder that escape is always temporary.Ryan, Greg, and Mike explore how the film treats love and addiction as mirrors: Bobby and Helen cling not to hope, but to each other because they have nowhere else to turn. The cycle of dependency becomes the story's most heartbreaking theme.New York in the 70s: A City That Sees It AllFew films capture New York in the 70s with the same unvarnished clarity as Panic in Needle Park. The city is at once backdrop and silent character — indifferent, worn, and sprawling. Parks, streets, and subways become interchangeable landscapes of desperation and anonymity.The Taste Buds discuss how Panic in Needle Park uses real locations to root its story in a specific urban moment — a New York fraught with economic hardship, social upheaval, and the grinding anonymity that shapes these lives.Guest Spotlight: Mark Searby — Scholar, Podcaster, and Al Pacino ExpertThis episode features special guest Mark Searby, a seasoned film critic, broadcaster, and author with deep expertise in character-driven cinema. Mark is best known as the host of All About Al: The Pacino Podcast, a series dedicated to exploring the film, television, and stage career of Al Pacino. The show offers in-depth discussions with critics, scholars, and collaborators about Pacino's work and influence. AcastMark is also the author of Al Pacino: The Movies Behind The Man, a comprehensive guide to Pacino's filmography that examines the actor's artistic evolution — from his breakout performance in Panic in Needle Park through classics like The Godfather and Dog Day Afternoon.

Marking the film's 30th anniversary, this episode revisits Heat's opening heist through its final standoff. We unpack why Michael Mann's crime drama remains essential viewing and how Al Pacino and Robert De Niro anchor a sprawling ensemble, including Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Jon Voight, Amy Brenneman, and Ashley Judd, among others. We explore Michael Mann's meticulous production design, LA as a character, and the meticulous pacing that keeps Heat tactile and immersive—featuring insights into how the film's cast brings those pages to life. We also explore the coming together of two screen legends navigating duty, honor, and obsession in a film built around restraint as much as firepower. We break down the chemistry between Pacino and De Niro, and how it became the cornerstone of the film's marketing campaign. Joining in for this discussion is Dustin Rybka, one of the new co-hosts of our upcoming spinoff, and he helps dive into why Heat is still considered one of the best movies of its kind 30 years later.Where To Watch Heat

Happy Halloween Lodgecast listeners! Blink and you missed this exorcism movie starring Al "Dunkaccino" Pacino. It played in theaters only one week, and we missed it there, but we caught it on VOD! Set in 1928 in Iowa, the movie follows Theophilus Riesinger (Al Pacino) and Joseph Steiger (Dan Stevens) as they attempt to exorcise the demon of a young woman named Emma Schmidt (Abigail Cowen). It is directed by David Midell in a truly bizarre manner, with cinematography resembling the American TV series The Office. We'll let you know how weird it gets in this terrifying episode of the Lodgecast!
A southern laywer is scouted to work big cases in New York. That doesn't sound so bad until you see Al Pacino and it's like "Oh yeah...I'm working for Lucifer." We talk about 90's Christian Horror, Keanu doing his best Jacksonville, Charlise being tortured, Pacino being the perfect Devil and a bunch of Jeffrey Jones jokes.

A film about a man trying to fund a gender-affirming operation by robbing a bank sounds like a modern-day plot. But 50 years ago, that was the scenario for the classic film Dog Day Afternoon. We're featuring our interviews with director Sidney Lumet and with Al Pacino, who starred as the bank robber. Lumet gave his lead license to take the role as far as he wanted, and then pushed Pacino to do more. "It's really one of the best pieces of movie acting I've ever seen. It was blinding in its intensity, agonizingly painful," he told Terry Gross in 1988.Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai which has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize.

Welcome! Our Sweaty Series continues with one of the sweatiest movies ever made—Dog Day Afternoon, starring Al Pacino. The film starts normally, but as Pacino's bank robbery turns into a lengthy standoff, the characters look absolutely miserable. Sidney Lumet's dramedy is a landmark of the 70s, and endures as a classic to this day. To pair, we'll enjoy a warm weather white wine. Next week: The sweatiest movie of the 90s. #Cinemavino #70s #BankRobbery #AlPacino

MUSIC The Muny opened its 107th season this week with Bring It On: The Musical, which stars Kennedy Holmes, a Florissant native who rose to fame on NBC's The Voice in 2018, where she finished as a finalist in fourth place. This new season opened despite the tornadoes that Forest Park endured, where a tree crushed the venue's pre-show stage, and luckily No major structural harm was reported, and thanks to an enormous citywide effort, opening night never had to be postponed. For the first time ever, three of the Beatles' offspring have collaborated on a song. Sean Lennon, James McCartney, and Zak Starkey posted part of their song, "Rip Off". From Starkey's band Mantra of the Cosmos titled "Rip Off" featuring Paul McCartney's son James and John Lennon's son Sean on vocals. TV Eric Dane from "Grey's Anatomy" sat for an interview with Diane Sawyer to discuss his battle with ALS . . . also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

In 2013, she had to go to court with a neighbor who wasn't cool with the two that she had on her property. She said, quote, "They're loyal, they're big, they're completely socialized, they're licensed, they're legal for me to have them, and I love them!"2. Kirstie Alley: Before she died, she owned 14 lemurs . . . which she fell in love with while doing conservation work in Madagascar.3. Salma Hayek: She adopted a rescue owl in 2019. Her name is Kering, after a company Salma's husband owns. She says, quote, "[She's often] on my head or my shoulder, my arms. Sometimes, when she is really close to me, I can feel her rubbing against me, which is really nice. And I feel so blessed."4. Paris Hilton: Years ago, she got herself a little rainforest mammal called a kinkajou. She named it Baby Luv. In 2006, she had to get a tetanus shot after it bit her. At one point she actually owned two of them.5. Leonardo DiCaprio: In 2010, he attended the North American Reptile Breeders Conference and Trade Show . . . and left with a 10-year-old tortoise. There's no word if he still has it, but they can live to be 80 years old.6. Tyga: He owned an actual tiger, even though they're illegal in California. When the cops came after him, he gave it to an animal shelter.7. Ice-T: He had a shark tank in his home recording studio, but that's gone now. He still has a regular aquarium, though.8. Tracy Morgan: He had to spend $400,000 on a 2,700-gallon tank for his giant Pacific octopus named Bwyadette.9. Nicolas Cage: Where do you start? He's owned sharks, an octopus, a 5-foot monitor lizard, and two venomous albino king cobras named Moby and Sheba. He had them locked behind bulletproof glass and kept antivenom handy. He once said, quote, "If they bite me . . . I have 15 minutes to live."10. Vanilla Ice: He once owned a wallaroo, which is a cross between a wallaby and a kangaroo. He sent it to a farm in Florida after it got too big for his property.

Adam kicks off the show by reminiscing about his co-starring role in Wreck-It Ralph and the surprising reaction it still gets from fans. He then unveils yet another classic Al Pacino scene, this time with Jay Mohr putting his own spin on the character—proving once again that Pacino impressions never get old. From there, Adam riffs on coaster weight, the gnarly side effects of Niacin, Biden's cancer diagnosis, the sheer brilliance of pit crews, and the fine line between first and last place—not just in racing, but in life. Next, Jay Chandrasekhar joins the show and dives into:The universal boyhood obsession with foot speed (because being the fastest kid on the playground is basically royalty).His journey through comedy as an Indian kid in grade school, dealing with stereotypes and British influence over India.The decision to cast himself in movies and TV shows instead of waiting for Hollywood (considering the only Indian "stars" he saw were Fisher Stevens and Peter Sellers in brownface).The hilariously awkward story of wearing his wife's underpants (sometimes you just gotta improvise).Why comedy films should be communal experiences—because laughing alone just isn't the same.Jay and Adam also break down the realities of directing low-budget movies vs. TV shows, and Jay introduces his new app, VouchVault, which he swears will revolutionize review sites and help him finally get revenge on Rotten Tomatoes. They wrap up their chat by agreeing that seeing Phish live is overrated, and Jay shares his comedic influences: John Landis, Eddie Murphy, and Richard Pryor. Naturally, both Jay and Adam declare Spinal Tap the greatest comedy of all time. Jason "Mayhem" Miller joins the show and kicks off the news with a must-see clip of Adam singing "Big Bottoms" with John Popper. From there, the trio dives into the top stories of the day, including:Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis.NYC's most notorious repeat offender—a guy who's been caught 134 times for stealing and still hasn't stopped.And finally, the mind-blowing possibility of science turning lead into gold.Get it on!FOR MORE WITH JAY CHANDRASEKHAR:INSTAGRAM: @jaychandrasekharTWITTER: @jaychandrasekhaAPP: https://www.vouchvault.com/FOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER:INSTAGRAM: @mayhemmillerTWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: magnvs.io/pages/summit?via=mayhemThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineCalderaLab.com/ADAMGo to https://hometitlelock.com/adamcarolla and use promo code ADAM to get a FREE title history report so you can find out if you're already a victim AND 14 days of protection for FREE!

Comedian Jiaoying Summers joins Adam for a wild ride through today's most outrageous headlines. They kick things off with the shocking new allegations from the Diddy trial, claiming Diddy forced Cassie to engage in acts with male prostitutes. The conversation takes a bizarre turn as they discuss Lyoto Machida and the supposed health benefits of drinking your own urine.Adam then shares a surreal AI video of himself jump roping, using it as a springboard to critique a questionable deodorant commercial that he believes symbolizes the decay of American society. From there, Adam pitches his outrageous idea for a certified gay gynecologist, claiming it would solve a host of ethical issues in that field.The laughs continue as Adam riffs on the Al Pacino classic "Cruising," recreating an improv scene from the BEAT IT OUT PODCAST with Jay Mohr—where Jay channels his inner Pacino and Adam takes on the role of Powers Boothe.News with Mayhem: Schwarzenegger's son shedding some serious weight, Gavin Newsom's new “plan” to end homelessness, Meghan Markle making headlines again and the internet being divided over a woman bringing a full rotisserie chicken onto an airplane. The show wraps up with Morgan Langley, the producer of the legendary TV series COPS. Morgan and Adam dig into the show's journey from being canceled to making a comeback, the role of media in public perception, how cowardice perpetuates misinformation, and why the mainstream media's Ponzi scheme might finally be unraveling.
