AwesomeCast 787 gets practical, futuristic and increasingly strange as Sorg, Katie Dudas and Dave Podnar explore family-safe phones, connected health gadgets, USB-C mysteries, robotic limbs, Instagram's latest AI privacy controversy and Fortnite's revealing new take on the DC Universe. Sorg also begins downloading the iOS 27 public beta during the show, despite Katie's warnings and a few concerns being saved for the Patreon aftertalk. Stories and Gadgets Discussed A wireless microphone saves the podcast: When Dave's regular microphone setup breaks, he switches to a compact dual wireless microphone system that connects through USB-C. The plug-and-play backup works with phones and laptops without a complicated setup. Omron 7 Series Bluetooth blood pressure monitor: Dave reviews a new connected blood pressure monitor after getting inconsistent readings from an older device. He highlights its larger arm cuff, support for two users, storage for multiple readings, three-reading averages, Apple Health integration and the ability to export results for a doctor. https://amzn.to/4yncwxY Pinwheel phones, watches and home phones for kids: Katie introduces Pinwheel's managed technology ecosystem for children and teenagers. Parents and caregivers can control approved contacts, monitor texts, restrict social media, set bedtime schedules, review locations and gradually unlock features as a child gets older. The company also offers a standalone smartwatch and a Wi-Fi-powered corded home phone that brings back the satisfaction of dramatically hanging up. https://www.pinwheel.com Kennywood's reopening and the mystery bag gamble: Sorg recounts a delayed visit to Kennywood after a water-main break interrupted opening day. His $5 mystery merchandise bag produced a Kennywood gaiter, a vintage postcard and a Jack Rabbit 100th-anniversary pin.

This week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we're joined by Scott Snyder for one of our favorite conversations of the year. We dive deep into Absolute Batman, the newly announced animated series, why he believes monthly comics need to embrace what makes the medium unique, and the creative philosophy driving one of comics' biggest successes. It's a candid, wide-ranging discussion on storytelling, the future of superhero comics, and why taking big swings matters more than ever. Visit our Patreon page to see the various tiers you can sign up for today to get in on the ground floor of AIPT Patreon. We hope to see you chatting with us on our Discord soon!

Dave: A Mischief of Magpies #1 (Bilquis Evely) Chris: Nightwing #140 (Jorge Fornes Main) Interview: Interview: Scott Snyder 1. Manga storytelling influence Joe Kelly recently mentioned how manga like One Piece can devote entire chapters to a single action sequence, something that's harder to replicate in American comics because of page counts and production realities. Is manga storytelling an influence on your work, and do you find yourself thinking about how to capture that same sense of scale and rhythm within Western comics? 2. Marvel and DC I recently spoke with Josh Williamson about writing Iron Man, and it was fascinating hearing how he's consulting on DC projects while also becoming part of Marvel's plans. Seeing creators move more freely between publishers these days, does that ever make you want to jump back into Marvel for another major project? 3. Harley Quinn and Joker The revelation that Joker is Harley's father completely reframes both characters. What made that the right relationship for the Absolute Universe, and what storytelling opportunities does it create that couldn't exist with their traditional dynamic 4. Designing Gotham's monsters Body horror and transformation have become defining visual elements of Absolute Batman. What are your guiding principles when reinventing characters like Poison Ivy, Clayface, and others while still making them instantly recognizable? 8. Absolute Batman animated series You're serving as showrunner on the newly announced Absolute Batman animated series. How does that creative role differ from making comics, and what has surprised you most about translating this version of Batman to animation? 10. Court of Owls Finally, the Court of Owls has entered the picture. Without spoiling anything, what can readers expect from your take on one of the most important Batman concepts you've ever created?

Jace and Rocky break down all 11 DC releases for the week of July 1, 2026. Absolute Green Lantern #16 brings the Absolute Lantern spectrum closer together as Hal Jordan uses violet light to protect the group from the Black Star of Sinestro, Jo Mullein weaponizes the people of Evergreen inside the Green Lantern construct, and Jessica Cruz's connection to Mogo threatens to throw the fight sideways. Poison Ivy #46 moves the pieces into place for Bad Seeds without Pamela appearing in the issue, as Janet from HR explains why Harley may be the only person who can reach Ivy and why Pamela's love for Harley makes her feel vulnerable. Batman #11 brings Lady Ojo back into the story as Batman clashes with her, the Minotaur's hold on Gotham's criminal money comes back into focus, Dr. Zeller deals with the fallout of Bruce's almost-date, and Verity Pennyworth makes her first appearance at Wayne Manor. Adventures of Superman: Book of El #10 continues Philip Kennedy Johnson's House of El story as Superman battles for his adoptive children, the fight on Tamarian escalates, and Kryl-Ux proves how powerful he has become by taking on a Sun-Eater. Batgirl #21 brings Cassandra Cain back to Gotham as Doctor Forget-Me-Not forces her to confront memories of a young girl named Victoria who may have been killed by Cassandra when she was younger, while the issue continues building Batgirl's own supporting cast. 100 Bullets: The U.S. of Anger #1 returns to Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's world in black and white, following Lono through a grim, angry story involving podcasters, gang violence, police violence and the fractured state of America. Deadman #2 improves on the first issue by bringing in Plastic Man, showing Deadman fail to take over Batman because of Bruce's psychological defenses, and expanding the villain's interference with souls transitioning into the afterlife. Supergirl: Survive #2 turns Kara and baby Kal-El's escape into a galaxy-hopping Elseworlds adventure as Lobo's gang hunts the last Kryptonians, the Lantern Corps appears across the emotional spectrum, and Kara receives a hope lantern ring after Saint Walker's death. Absolute Martian Manhunter #12 closes the series by focusing on John Jones' relationship with his son Tyler, how his inability to understand Tyler helped fracture his family, and how the Martian Manhunter experience lets him see others differently as he chooses a second chance with his wife and child. JSA #21 explores the Spectre's origin and has the spirit of vengeance jump between different JSA hosts, including Obsidian, Jade and Wildcat, while Metron suggests the mystery depends not only on the Spectre's beginning but also on Jim Corrigan's origin. Batman / Green Arrow / The Question: Arcadia #4 continues Gabriel Hardman's political mystery as Batman, Green Arrow and the Question push deeper into the conspiracy around Arcadia, with the book still functioning more as a dense ideological thriller than a traditional superhero team-up. They also give a rundown of this week's collected editions, reprints and facsimile releases. As always, all books are ranked from top to bottom and each host gives a Book of the Week pick.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260621dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. 2 Timothy 4:2-5 A Cure for That Itch Mosquito bites. Athlete’s Foot. Poison Ivy. If you’ve ever had to deal with these itchy ailments, you know they are no fun and very hard to get rid of. You try this lotion and that spray, but the itch doesn't seem to go away. Time and patience are about the only answers that make the itch go away. As the apostle Paul wrote these last words to his dear friend Timothy, Paul was preparing Timothy to deal with a situation far worse than bug bites and skin rashes. False teachings, lies about the faith and salvation, and personal religious opinions were infesting and infecting the hearts of people. Such things go beyond irritation; they hurt and kill saving faith. Paul knew that a time was coming when people would no longer desire to hear what God has to say in the Bible. Paul’s words are quite prophetic for us since we are still living in similar times. Some books promote Jesus as a mere teacher of moral living. Others claim that Jesus was not and never claimed to be God. Why all the promotion of these and many other false teachings? Because people who don’t want to believe the Bible have an itch—an itch against God. They don’t want to feel accountable to God or live their lives according to his Word. So, the only way to calm that itch is to reduce God to nothing more than a lucky rabbit’s foot or a curse word. What is the salve for this itch? “Preach the Word!” the apostle Paul encourages. Preach and proclaim the Bible—the whole Bible. Let God work through the Word to do the rebuking and correcting. Let God set the record straight. And even if people will not listen, God still calls us to be faithful to the Word and proclaim it “in season and out of season.” May God strengthen us to do this always! Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to always faithfully proclaim your word for your Word is truth and life. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

And even if people will not listen, God still calls us to be faithful to the Word and proclaim it “in season and out of season.” May God strengthen us to do this always! Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to always faithfully proclaim your word for your Word is truth and life. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Absolute Batman #21 pits Batman against the Robins before Jack Grimm confronts Bruce Wayne and claims responsibility for creating the man he became.

Text Us Here!People can handle gods, aliens, and superpowers, but give them a female lead and suddenly the internet forgets how to act. We jump from Summer Game Fest and State of Play hype straight into the backlash around God Of War Laufey, where Faye takes center stage and the loudest critics act like the franchise title has always meant “Kratos or nothing.” We break down why that argument falls apart, what it says about fandom gatekeeping, and why fantasy “rules” get weaponized the moment inclusion shows up.From there we spin Reddit Roulette with a marriage story that's equal parts relatable and infuriating: a partner gets pressured into social hangouts, finally finds one person to talk to, then gets punished for enjoying it. The update turns it into a real conversation about insecurity, status, and what it means to have your spouse's back when their friends disrespect you. If you've ever felt forced into a room you didn't belong in, this part is for you.Then we hit the main course: fast food burgers. We define fast food vs fast casual, argue about whether Five Guys is overpriced or worth it, and crown favorites like the Burger King Whopper, Wendy's Baconator, Seattle's Dick's Burgers, and some sleeper picks that surprised us. We even get into burger science: where the condiments sit in the stack can change the entire flavor, and yes, flipping the burger can be a legit upgrade. We close with a quick “who would you date” gaming draft and a wild fun fact about mango skin, urushiol, and a poison ivy style rash.If you laugh, cringe, or feel personally attacked by our burger takes, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.You have a limited offer you can use now, that gets you up to 48% off your first subscription or 20% off one time purchases with code: FMJPOD20 at checkout.You can claim it at: https://www.magicmind.com/FMJPOD20Magic MindA mental performance shot you soon won't forget!

Dave talks about how his wife Tracy does everything she can to prevent getting poison ivy, but still somehow ends up with it.
Hay películas malas. Hay películas muy malas. Y luego está Batman & Robin, una obra cinematográfica tan fascinante en su desastre que casi merece ser estudiada por científicos. En este programa nos lanzamos sin red a analizar una de las películas más polémicas de la historia del cine de superhéroes. La cinta que consiguió que Gotham pareciera una discoteca gigante, que los trajes tuvieran más plástico que una juguetería y que los villanos compitieran por ver quién soltaba el peor juego de palabras. Repasamos el delirante espectáculo dirigido por Joel Schumacher, con un reparto encabezado por George Clooney como Batman, acompañado por Robin, Batgirl, una Poison Ivy capaz de seducir a media ciudad y un Mr. Freeze interpretado por Arnold Schwarzenegger, que parece decidido a congelar Gotham a base de chistes horribles. Hablamos de sus efectos visuales, de sus decisiones creativas imposibles, de sus infames pezones en los trajes, de cómo casi manda al banquillo a Batman durante años y de por qué, pese a todo, se ha convertido en una película de culto para muchos aficionados al cine más disparatado. ¿Es realmente tan mala como se dice? ¿Tiene más virtudes de las que recordamos? ¿O estamos ante uno de los mayores accidentes de tráfico de la historia del blockbuster moderno? Con Miguel Ángel, Frikilandias, Ricky y el Mamado Lidel, en una charla cargada de risas, incredulidad, nostalgia noventera y toneladas de hielo. Porque si vamos a hablar de Batman & Robin, lo mínimo es sufrir juntos. Ponte cómodo, prepara el bat-repelente para tiburones y recuerda una cosa: en este programa nadie está a salvo de los chistes de Mr. Freeze. ❄️

A blonde '90s hair flip. Cigarette-in-hand red carpet appearances. A supposedly "washed-up" former child star working behind the counter of a coffee shop and living on her own at 15 years old.It's time to dive into one of the most pivotal and often overlooked periods of Drew Barrymore's life. Between 1990 and 1991, a newly sober and newly emancipated teenage Drew was rebuilding from the ground up: attending AA meetings, releasing her bestselling memoir Little Girl Lost, taking odd jobs to pay the bills, and fighting to be taken seriously as an actress again.Along the way, she collected a few tattoos, a couple boyfriends, a driver's license she may or may not have immediately lost, and roles in future cult classics like Poison Ivy and Guncrazy. Drew's big comeback was just around the corner! As she put it in 1991: "I just hope that I make the right choices and get to be an actress for the rest of my life."Join our Patreon for exclusive episodes & more: patreon.com/howdoyoudrewVisit our website for episode galleries & links: howdoyoudrew.comFollow the show's Instagram to connect with us & other Drewbies: @howdoyoudrewpodVisit our Drew Barrymore virtual museum: thedrewseum.comFollow The Drewseum on Instagram for more Drew content: @drewseum Subscribe to stay in the loop: How Do You Drew newsletter

On this week's AIPT Comics Podcast, we're joined by writer Zack Kaplan to talk about two ambitious new projects that tap into some of today's biggest anxieties. First up is Only the Savage Are Left, Kaplan's new post-apocalyptic series with Stefano Raffaele, which imagines a world overrun by a virus that transforms people into monsters. During the conversation, Kaplan digs into the moral dilemmas at the heart of the series, the challenge of creating a new kind of monster apocalypse, and why the story's central romance is just as important as its horror. We also discuss The Smart Division, his upcoming AI-driven crime thriller with John Pearson, exploring how rapidly advancing technology, generational divides, and questions about institutional trust shaped the book's premise. Visit our Patreon page to see the various tiers you can sign up for today to get in on the ground floor of AIPT Patreon. We hope to see you chatting with us on our Discord soon!

What was the starting point for the virus concept, and how did you land on the idea that the “cure” is tied to killing another infected person? There's an early suggestion in the book that civilization didn't collapse because people failed to work together, but because they turned on each other. How much of this story is meant to reflect real-world anxieties about how fragile social order really is? You've described the idea that “civilized society is a failed experiment.” How does that philosophy shape Ryder's journey, especially as someone who begins the story outside that cycle of violence? Ryder starts off relatively sheltered, living behind a wall and seemingly untouched by the infection. What interested you about telling a story through a character who hasn't yet been forced to compromise his morality? The relationship that pulls Ryder out into the world feels central to the emotional core of the book. How did you approach balancing that love story with the brutality of the setting? Without spoiling too much, how does the virus actually work on a thematic level? Is it purely biological, or is it also meant to represent something more psychological or societal? As Ryder encounters other survivors and “monster-killers,” how do you approach defining who the real monsters are in this world? Shifting to The Smart Division, the idea of an AI being involved in a “perfect murder” is chillingly plausible. What kind of real-world advancements in AI or predictive tech inspired this story? The pairing of a Gen-Z savant and a veteran FBI agent feels like a classic odd-couple dynamic. What makes that contrast especially interesting in a story about artificial intelligence and crime? Fun one: if you had to survive in the world of Only the Savage Are Left, what's your strategy in the first 24 hours… and are you making it out alive?

Just months after the release of 1992's Poison Ivy, Drew Barrymore's comeback story took an even more powerful turn with her acclaimed, Golden Globe-nominated performance in Guncrazy. Determined to land the role of troubled outsider Anita, Drew fought hard for the part — ultimately channeling her own vulnerability, rebellion, and resilience into one of the rawest performances of her career.With fearless direction from Tamra Davis and a fantastic supporting performance by James LeGros, the "lovers on the run" film became an underrated cult classic. Guncrazy was also proof that the then-16-year-old Drew Barrymore was capable of far more than Hollywood had given her credit for. We're getting into all of the nitty-gritty details of the movie, sharing many stories you've likely never heard before!Join our Patreon for exclusive episodes & more: patreon.com/howdoyoudrewVisit our website for episode galleries & links: howdoyoudrew.comFollow the show's Instagram to connect with us & other Drewbies: @howdoyoudrewpodVisit our Drew Barrymore virtual museum: thedrewseum.comFollow The Drewseum on Instagram for more Drew content: @drewseum Subscribe to stay in the loop: How Do You Drew newsletter

This episode was originally released July 9, 2024 and is now being rereleased with a new intro and minor edits.That girl is poison! Yes the time has finally come for us to dive into discussing Drew Barrymore's first bad girl role as the titular Poison Ivy. Considered by Drew herself to be the kickstart of her big post-rehab comeback, the 1992 movie has long been a fan favorite with Drewbies. We're here with all the behind the scenes quotes and tidbits via our extensive vintage magazine archive and years of research. Plus we have a blast rewatching the film and laughing about stick-on tattoos, Sara Gilbert's spot on narration, copious amounts of LA rain, french twist hairstyles, sexy saxophone music, and the word scangy.Join our Patreon for exclusive episodes & more: patreon.com/howdoyoudrewVisit our website for episode galleries & links: howdoyoudrew.comFollow the show's Instagram to connect with us & other Drewbies: @howdoyoudrewpodVisit our Drew Barrymore virtual museum: thedrewseum.comFollow The Drewseum on Instagram for more Drew content: @drewseum Subscribe to stay in the loop: How Do You Drew newsletter

When we are following the Narrow way, we often start with some excitement about the path, but when life gets hard, do we look through the dense brush and think, if I could, I can get to a better path through the Poison Ivy. We consider the consequences of the moment but not the later. Jesus has a plan for you and I, and it will not be easy. We either trust God through it or we chase after our desires.Bible Verse(s): James 1:13-15; Matthew 7:13-14; Psalm 4:25-27; Hebrews 12:1-2; 3-17----------------------------------------------Top 100 list at Feedspot: https://podcast.feedspot.com/christian_men_podcasts/E: warriorwithin.christianmanhood@gmail.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pastorwarriorwithinMerch Store: https://wwcm-podcast.printify.me/productsPayPal DONATIONS: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=KC3DTP8HM7DAEYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WarriorWithinMinistriesStudios-----------------------------------------------------Affiliated with Talitha Coffee: https://talitha.com/pastordido-----------------------------------------------------Track: Jim Yosef - Samurai [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds.Watch:Free Download / Stream:http://NCS.io/Samurai
