Mars, 2048. The first settlers, a mix of international workers and the super-rich. And the first unexplained death. When a body turns up in the corridor between a scrappy warehouse and a half-built luxury hotel, no-nonsense Harbourmaster Rita Siddiqui finds herself in charge.

But murder's not their only problem. Atmospheric tests have triggered a dangerous storm. Paranoia grows as the power fails. Lights, gravity, oxygen: everything is at risk.Rita and Jaz must navigate a growing list of suspects, a dwindling supply of patience, and a killer who's not finished yet.Because even 140 million miles from Earth, people still have secrets. And someone's willing to kill to keep them.Jaz finds a surprise resident on Mars. And Rita and Jaz venture onto the surface.Written by Tim FoleyCAST RITA SIDDIQUI ..... NISHA NAYAR JAZ HICKSON .....

Michael Martinez grew up in San Diego and started getting into trouble as a teenager before turning his life around and heading to Hawaii for college. His goal was to serve and protect — but his past made getting into law enforcement a challenge. While waiting to be accepted, he worked animal control in San Diego County before finally joining the San Diego Police Department. Within his first two years, Michael was involved in three officer-involved shootings, an experience that led to severe PTSD, alcoholism, and a complete personal breakdown. This episode dives deep into the reality behind the badge — the trauma, the toll, and the long road to redemption. Michael opens up about how he rebuilt his life, saved his family, and learned that asking for help isn't weakness — it's survival. #PoliceStory #TrueCrimePodcast #AddictionRecovery #FormerCop #PoliceShootings #MentalHealthAwareness #LawEnforcementLife #redemptionjourney Thank you to BLUECHEW, AURA FRAMES & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Get 10% off your first month of BlueChew Gold with code LOCKEDIN.

I ett rykande färskt avsnitt av 24Frågor dyker vi ner i dramatiken i TV4:s succéprogram Förrädarna. Marcus får berätta om spelet inifrån, paranoian och mördarplanerna.När spelet nu är halvvägs, dissekerar vi de senaste omröstningarna och nattliga morden. Hur känns det för Marcus att se förrädarna planera morden? Och hur var det egentligen att vara med i den omtalade omröstningen där Janina satte allt på ett kort.Henrik grillar också Marcus på:Flockmentaliteten: Varför följer man gruppen i omröstningarna, trots att det kanske leder fel?Paranoia & Rädslor: Vem var Birro mest rädd för under spelets gång? Och hur paranoid var egentligen Tom när han pratade om "ytspänning" och "dricka massor av vin"?Övertolkningar: Hur lätt är det att feltolka personlighetsdrag och slarviga ordval (som "psykopat") när man är isolerad i slottet?Bakom Kulisserna: Går det att fuska? Vad gör man när kameran inte är på? Får man prata med de andra deltagarna när kamerorna är avstängda? Blev någon packad av allt vin på kvällen?Avsnittet avslutas med att Marcus Birro vänder på steken och frågar Henrik: Vad är grejen med Förrädarna för dig?

In recent years, Americans have faced a deluge of horrifying developments in politics and culture: stolen elections, fascist rallies, families torn apart and locked away. A common refrain erupts at each new atrocity: This isn't who we are. In American Rule, Jared Yates Sexton upends those convenient fictions by laying bare the foundational myths at the heart of our collective American imagination. From the very origins of this nation, Americans in power have abused and subjugated others; enabling that corruption are the many myths of American exceptionalism and steadfast values, which are fed to the public and repeated across generations. Working through each era of American growth and change, Sexton weaves together the origins and perpetuation of these narratives still in the public memory, and the acts we have chosen to forget. Stirring, deeply researched, and disturbingly familiar, American Rule is a call to examine our own misconceptions of what it means, and has always meant, to be an American. listen and subscribe to Jared's Podcast subscribe to his substack newsletter Pete on Blue Sky Pete on Threads Pete on Tik Tok Pete on YouTube Pete on Twitter Pete On Instagram Pete Personal FB page Stand Up with Pete FB page All things Jon Carroll Follow and Support Pete Coe Buy Ava's Art Hire DJ Monzyk to build your website or help you with Marketing

In dieser Folge werfen wir einen wilden Kino-Mix auf den Tisch — von knallharten Straßenrealitäten bis zu Spionage-Thrill, psychoakustischem Horror und metaphysischem Mind-Game!Babo – Die Haftbefehl-Story (2025) — Deutsche Doku über den berüchtigten Rapper Haftbefehl. Wir diskutieren, ob dieses unverblümte Porträt zwischen Erfolg, Absturz und Identität mehr als nur ein Biopic ist — oder ob die Dokumentation uns mit Trauma-Romantisierung zurücklässt.Black Bag (2025) — Spionage-Thriller unter der Regie von Steven Soderbergh mit Cate Blanchett und Michael Fassbender: Geheimdienste, Verrat und moralische Grauzone — wir fragen: Wird „Black Bag“ zum intelligenten Agentenfilm für Erwachsene, oder driftet er in konventionellen Mainstream-Thrill ab? Spannung vs. Anspruch — alles drin.1408 (2007) — Klassiker mit John Cusack und Samuel L. Jackson, ein psychologischer Horrortrip im Spukhotel — wir checken: Wie gut hält der Psycho-Horror heute noch? Funktioniert der Druck, die Paranoia, das beklemmende Setting im Jahr 2025 noch? Und wird 1408 überschätzt oder zurecht verehrt?iHostage (2025) — niederländischer Thriller, inspiriert von wahren Ereignissen: Ein Bewaffneter stürmt einen Apple-Store mitten in Amsterdam, nimmt Geiseln und fordert ein sechs-stelliges Lösegeld in Kryptowährung. Der Film verfolgt das Drama aus verschiedenen Perspektiven — Täter, Geiseln und Polizei.The Materialists (2025) — Konzeptfilm irgendwo zwischen Philosophie & Drama: Wir schauen, ob „The Materialists“ den Spagat schafft zwischen intellektuellem Anspruch und erzählerischer Zugänglichkeit. Wird das philosophische Kino elegant ins Moderne übersetzt — oder versinkt es in der immergleichen Rom-Com?Hausaufgabe für nächste Woche: "After the Hunt" (Amazon Prime) #NapalmAmMorgen

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta segunda-feira (24/11/2025): O ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) disse ontem, durante audiência de custódia, que a tentativa de violar a tornozeleira eletrônica foi motivada por “paranoia” provocada pelo uso de remédios psiquiátricos. Ele afirmou à juíza Luciana Sorrentino, auxiliar no gabinete de Alexandre de Moraes, que “estava com alucinação” de que havia uma escuta no equipamento. Ele negou intenção de fugir e alegou que a vigília convocada pelo filho Flávio não teria “possibilidade de criar qualquer tumulto”. A juíza manteve a prisão preventiva. A defesa do ex-presidente alegou “confusão mental” e pediu a volta dele para a prisão domiciliar. E mais: Política: Supremo deve negar nova prisão domiciliar Economia: Custo com MP do Setor Elétrico equivale a metade da renúncia da isenção do IR Metrópole: Moradores do Campo Belo querem barrar novos prédios altos Internacional: Israel diz ter matado chefe do Hezbollah em ataque a BeiruteSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Movie of the Year: 1971KluteWhy Klute Still Captivates AudiencesIn this episode of Movie of the Year, Ryan, Greg, and Mike examine Klute, Alan J. Pakula's groundbreaking 1971 thriller that fused noir, feminist character study, and political paranoia into a single atmospheric masterpiece. From its haunting portrayal of loneliness to its razor-sharp critique of power and control, Klute remains one of the most influential films of the 1970s — a tense, stylish, and unsettling work anchored by unforgettable performances.The Taste Buds explore how Klute uses mood, silence, and perspective to reimagine what a thriller can be, and why its themes still resonate decades later.Pakula and Willis: Crafting the Look and Fear of KluteAlan J. Pakula, working with cinematographer Gordon Willis, created in Klute what would become the visual and tonal blueprint for 1970s paranoia cinema. The Taste Buds discuss how the Pakula/Willis partnership shaped not only this film, but future classics as well.Pakula's direction emphasizes psychological distance, moral ambiguity, and bureaucratic dread.Willis — the legendary “Prince of Darkness” — saturates the film with deep shadows, cold light, and voyeuristic framing that makes the audience feel watched.The collaboration results in a thriller where silence is suspense, space is threat, and every frame hints at danger you can't quite see.This visual strategy becomes the DNA of Pakula's later films, but Klute is where the paranoia begins.Bree Daniels: Jane Fonda's Defining PerformanceNo element of Klute is more celebrated than Jane Fonda's performance as Bree Daniels, a character whose complexity transformed the possibilities for female roles in crime and thriller cinema.Ryan, Greg, and Mike explore how Bree's character:serves as the emotional center of Klutenavigates trauma, agency, sexuality, and survivalresists the stereotypes typically imposed on sex workersexpresses her inner life most vividly in her therapy scenes, where the film slows down and lets Bree define herself in her own wordsFonda delivers a portrait of a woman who is both vulnerable and fiercely self-aware — a character fighting for autonomy in a world designed to control her.John Klute: Donald Sutherland's Quiet DetectiveWhile Bree is the heart of the film, Donald Sutherland's John Klute is the unstable axis around which the mystery turns. His restrained, almost withdrawn performance contrasts sharply with Bree's vivid emotional life.The Taste Buds discuss how John Klute:subverts noir detective tropes by being passive rather than dominantreflects the unease and disillusionment of early 1970s masculinitybecomes both protector and threat, comfort and menaceheightens the film's tension simply by what he doesn't sayHis quietness becomes the film's most unsettling element — the fear that danger might come not from action, but from inaction.Klute's Themes: Power, Paranoia, and the Performance of IdentityThe Taste Buds analyze the movie as a story deeply invested in the forces that shape who we become and how we behave:Power — who has it, who wants it, who is crushed by itParanoia — the constant hum of surveillance that defines the film's worldIdentity and performance — especially in Bree's...

Sam McGuire studies conspiracy theories. He is a master's graduate from OCAD University in Toronto, Ontario. We were fortunate enough to get to talk to him about conspiracy theories, their prevalence in true crime, and how we can try to help people break the cycle of conspiratorial thinking.In new segment, True Crime Wave, we'll be talking about issues endemic to true crime. At its best, true crime offers the audience a way to learn about stories of crime, social issues, legal realities, and the real human beings at the heart of cases. It can be educational and compassionate and cathartic and thoughtful and incisive, and it can help raise awareness of cases. Good true crime can show case all kinds of different perspectives. It can center journalism, advocacy, legal analysis, investigative approaches, the experiences of survivors or victims' families, and more. That is all very good. But too often, we see true crime devolve. We have seen online mobs, harassment, conspiracy theories, ethics-washing, and more. True crime won't get better on its own. We think talking about these things will help.

And it is a political thriller. But it also fits neatly into my concept of science fiction. To learn more about what is and isn't science fiction you can head to the heady days of the first episode where the topic is discussed with science fiction scholars Lisa Yaszek and Glyn Morgan. (Please do excuse the fear in my eyes.) Just a few years later a film was made by John Frankenheimer, starring Fred Astaire, Janet Leigh and a brilliant and manipulative Angela Lansbury. The 1960s USA is in peak cold war fears, and the CIA is undertaking covert operations of their own, with the MKUltra programme, testing on humans to discover whether they can be manipulated and brainwashed. Although this film continues many themes from the 1950s it is definitely a product of the new age as culture shifts and a new batch of Hollywood directors take cinema in a different direction. I am lucky to have two brilliant guests to talk us through the themes and context of this film. Ian Scott is a Professor of American Film and History at The University of Manchester. He has written extensively about politics and film in Hollywood including the book American Politics in Hollywood Film. Sherryl Vint is Professor of Science Fiction Media Studies at the University of California, Riverside. She has written/edited many books about science fiction.

Silicon Bites Ep266 - Day 1,353 - 2025-11-07 | Civil War is Kremlin's #1 Fear, according to the Kremlin's own chief sociologist. If I was asked this question, I'd have said it's a low probability, as is the fragmentation of Russia into myriad smaller states. Not impossible, but very unlikely, even after the conclusion of Putin's disastrous war in Ukraine. On this channel, we have speculated extensively that a palace coup is more likely, or a kind of oligarch civil war, for a limited period and with limited scope. But Alexander Kharichev has put in black and white what Moscow usually whispers— the number one threat to Russia is… civil war, he writes. So, do they know something we don't? Or is this classic paranoia from the minion of a tyrannical and geriatric dictator? Is this Kremlin syndrome that sees enemies and calamity around every corner? Let's explore this question. “Who Are We?”: The Kremlin's early warning system. Alexander Kharichev, the powerful head of the Presidential Directorate for Monitoring and Analysis of Social Processes, published an essay called “Кто мы?” (Who Are We?) in the journal Gosudarstvo. In it, he lists five “civilizational challenges,” facing Russia, and more specifically the Kremlin, and tops the list with civil war / internal split. Russian business daily Vedomosti reviewed the piece and confirmed the framing and source.----------SOURCES: Michael Naki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn1HBcsrwDA&t=941s https://www.gazeta.ru/social/news/2025/11/05/27105038.shtml https://sia.ru/?section=410&action=show_news&id=16821490 https://www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/11/05/v-kremle-uvideli-ugrozu-grazhdanskoi-voini-v-rossii-a179190 https://deita.ru/article/577119 https://charter97.org/ru/news/2025/11/5/661891/----------This is super important. There are so many Battalions in Ukraine, fighting to defend our freedoms, but lack basics such as vehicles. These are destroyed on a regular basis, and lack of transport is costs lives, and Ukrainian territory.

Kremlin's Top Threat RevealedIn this episode of Silicon Bites, the host discusses a recent article by Alexander Karachi, a senior Kremlin sociologist, which reveals that the Kremlin's number one fear is civil war in Russia. The episode delves into the five civilizational challenges listed in the article and argues that a palace coup or elite conflict over resources is a more likely scenario than a full-blown civil war. The script also examines the economic strains, rising living costs, and extreme military spending that are exacerbating Russia's vulnerabilities. The episode ends by highlighting the Kremlin's flawed solutions of increased militarization and ideological indoctrination, which may accelerate the fragmentation and collapse of the Russian state.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Gratitude00:58 The Kremlin's Greatest Fear: Civil War02:17 Analyzing the Article: Five Civilizational Challenges11:59 Economic Strain and War Spending18:25 Corruption and Internal Conflict23:44 Potential Regime Collapse and Future Outlook26:27 Conclusion: The Kremlin's Paranoia and Future----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------

Cash is king, period. In this episode, the operators get real about why cash flow matters more than your P&L, EBITDA, or vanity revenue numbers. They share their worst "cash crunch" war stories, like pushing payroll or having to choose between buying inventory and paying taxes. To prove a hard lesson: even profitable businesses go bankrupt all the time. You'll learn the backward-sounding truth of e-commerce: rapid growth bleeds cash, while slowing down can actually fill your bank account. They get into the weeds on risky trend-based inventory, and how to get your suppliers to finance your growth by trading margin for better terms. They also cover the real cost of equity (why you should probably just take the money) and why you need a serious finance team and audits long before you ever think about selling.Chapters:00:00:00 - Introduction00:03:07 - Worst Cash Crunch Moments00:18:26 - How Growth & Inventory Type Affect Cash Flow00:34:50 - Tactical Ways to Protect Cash00:46:26 - The Truth About Equity Financing01:03:27 - Partnership, Paranoia, and Playing the Leverage GamePowered By:Fulfil.io.https://bit.ly/3pAp2vuThe Only Cloud ERP Designed to Efficiently Scale 8 and 9-Figure Brands.

In this episode of International Horizons, Interim Director Eli Karetny speaks with film scholar Nathan Abrams about the enduring relevance of Stanley Kubrick and what his work can teach us about our current era. From the nuclear absurdities of Dr. Strangelove to the cosmic rebirth of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kubrick's films expose the fragile line between technological mastery and moral collapse. Abrams unpacks Kubrick's fascination with war, authority, and obedience, his roots in the New York Jewish intellectual tradition, and his exploration of mystical and mythic themes—from Kabbalah to The Odyssey. Together, they reveal how Kubrick's cinematic universe reflects our own: a world where human creativity, paranoia, and power intertwine in both terrifying and illuminating ways.

2025-10-27 | Silicon Wafers 042 | DAILY UPDATES | Drones over Moscow, in mass, seem to be doing nothing to ease Putin's natural paranoia as autocrat of Russia, quite the reverse. In this episode we look at the targets of Ukraine's sanction, Moscow, Ryazan and other nodes within Putin's military machine. We try to separate lies from truth, propaganda myths and rumours from reality in relation to Pokrovsk and the two-year effort by Russian rabble troops to occupy the Ukrainian fortress city. We decode the “Coalition of the Willing” decisions; and explain why Kremlin chatter about a peace deal being “near” is classic weaponised diplomacy. Plus: Lithuania says it will shoot down Belarus's smuggler balloons — the hybrid war goes airborne over Europe.----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv. The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ----------SOURCES: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-says-it-destroyed-193-ukrainian-drones-2025-10-27/https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russian-drone-attack-kyiv-kills-three-2025-10-26/https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russian-drone-attack-kyiv-kills-three-2025-10-26/https://www.reuters.com/world/lithuania-shoot-down-smuggler-balloons-belarus-prime-minister-says-2025-10-27/https://www.reuters.com/world/sending-tomahawk-missiles-ukraine-remains-under-review-says-natos-rutte-2025-10-24/https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-reiterated-previous-ukraine-peace-terms-us-private-communique-sources-say-2025-10-21/https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/russias-fourth-largest-oil-refinery-halts-processing-unit-after-drone-attack-2025-10-24/----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

Eric and Eliot discuss appeasement and the striking similarities between Putin's recent demands and Hitler's insistence that the Czechs surrender the heavily fortified Sudetenland. They then turn to the latest idiocy coming from the administration, including Trump's demolition of the East Wing, the Pentagon's new exclusively right-wing press corps, and the live-fire Marine exercise that sent ordnance onto I-5 in California during a salute to Pete Hegseth and JD Vance. They also examine Putin's phone call with Trump and the situation in Ukraine, along with Trump's accelerating campaign of regime change in Venezuela. They end the week's conversation with thoughts on the No Kings protests and the daunting prospects for a sustained ceasefire in Gaza.

Episode 97: Weapons Just in time for a Halloween Spooktacular, the gang is back for Season 5 of Philosophy in Film, and the reel's already spinning! First up in the tray: Zach Cregger's eerie ensemble horror Weapons (2025), where seventeen schoolchildren vanish at 2:17 a.m., forcing a town to ask: what if the monster isn't outside, but inside the story? In search of answers, Craig sounds the alarm with Producer's Notes (8:31) while Alain opens the Beauclair Synopsis (17:23), laying out the tangled threads of characters, each chasing a truth they're too afraid to face. Chris slips into Philosopher's Corner (42:55), tracing the film's vanishings through a dim reflection of screens and silence, where the real horror may be what we've grown used to losing. At The Round Table (42:40), the gang wrangles the question: Is Weapons a cautionary mirror or a funhouse for our fears? Later, Reviews (1:10:48) and Mailbag (1:24:41) let our audience testify in the court of shared dread. As always, we reflect on the philosophical and non-philosophical fissures the film fractures open, because in a town where the children vanish, silence becomes just another weapon.

In this episode of Now I Get It, I dive into the hidden logic behind borders—why they exist where they do, and how geography quietly shapes the course of world history. From the frozen plains of Russia to the mountains of Ukraine, I explore how natural barriers like rivers, lakes, and mountain ranges determine a nation's defensibility—and how the absence of these barriers has fueled centuries of conquest, paranoia, and power struggles.We'll unpack how historical trauma and geography combine to drive geopolitical decisions, often leading nations to create the very dangers they fear most. Using Russia's ongoing conflict with Ukraine as a case study, I explore how geography's invisible hand still dictates modern strategy, politics, and security—and how the destruction of natural defenses like wetlands may have left Europe more vulnerable than ever before.In this episode, you will learn:(00:45) Why geography—and not just politics—defines how nations form and defend themselves(02:30) The contrast between Europe's natural borders and Asia's open expanses—and why it matters(03:40) How Russia's fear of invasion is rooted in centuries of trauma and geography(05:10) Why Putin's war in Ukraine is both strategic and self-defeating(06:45) The hidden value of wetlands and natural barriers in modern defense(07:50) How fear-driven decisions create the very threats nations seek to avoidLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandy Hosted on Acast.

Michael Dilks served his country in the military before transitioning into law enforcement, joining the police force and later the Sheriff's Department. As a member of a narcotics task force, he helped take down major operations, making high-stakes busts and battling the drug trade in Florida. But everything changed when he began to suspect that members of his own narcotics team might be crossing lines. His concerns eventually led to him becoming the focus of an FBI and DEA inquiry — a mistaken suspicion that cast a long shadow over the rest of his career. Even though he was never charged, living under that cloud changed everything. After two decades in law enforcement, Michael retired — but instead of staying silent, he turned to social media to finally tell his side of the story. #DopeCop #DEA #FBIInvestigation #TrueCrimeStories #LawEnforcement #PoliceInterview #FloridaStories #CriminalJustice Thank you to BLUECHEW & GLD for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.
