Everyone loves a good anime main character/protagonist. So lets build a tier list ranking our favorite, and the best, anime protagonists out there!RECORDED: 3/31/25MERCH: https://sakugaapparel.com/collections/life-with-anime-podcast/
Send us a textWhat if the voices in your head, your doubts, your drive, your deepest wounds, weren't just background noise, but characters in a play that you could rewrite?In this episode of The Self Help Antidote, we dive into the transformative world of Anonymous Drama, a creative approach to emotional wellbeing that blends improv, wellbeing, psychology, and storytelling. Playwright, director and drama therapy advocate Mark Macnicol shares how creating scripts and characters, even if you have zero interest in “drama”, can help untangle emotional knots that feel too overwhelming to confront directly.We explore how this approach, born in places like maximum-security prisons and inspired by the therapeutic roots of improv, can help you step outside your own story just enough to see it clearly. Learn how the three core characters, the Protagonist, the Inner Critic, and the Inner Mentor mirror the ongoing dialogue in your own mind, and how naming these voices creates the space for intention, self-compassion, and conscious choice.This isn't about becoming someone else. It's about finally hearing yourself.Because once you recognize who's talking in your head, you get to decide who's actually in charge.Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com
In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Why We Vote, hosts CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by special guests Kayla (The Protagonist) and Tino Bambino for an in-depth investigation into political money laundering, digital identity theft, and the systemic manipulation of U.S. elections. The duo shares their firsthand experience working on a nationwide citizen journalist operation initially launched under the O'Keefe Media Group, uncovering how elderly Americans, many unaware, are having their identities hijacked to funnel millions through platforms like ActBlue. Tino recounts his fieldwork confronting a supposed top donor in Colorado, revealing a woman living in a retirement home who had no idea over $200,000 was attributed to her name. Kayla outlines the scale and method of the fraud, from addictive Facebook donation prompts to absurd levels of micro-transactions used to fabricate donor data. Together, they explain how this scheme, dubbed "smurfing", violates multiple federal statutes, yet continues unchecked. But the bombshells don't stop there. The guests drop insight on WinRed's similar tactics, the bipartisan nature of political laundering, and how NGOs are complicit in exploiting migrant crises for cash and influence. From fake grassroots narratives to taxpayer-funded digital pipelines, this episode exposes the tangled web of corruption fueling America's controlled opposition, and why citizen journalism might be our last line of defense. Packed with footage, field reports, and a healthy dose of righteous outrage, this episode is a must-watch for anyone who still believes your vote, and your name, should belong to you.

Diese Frage versuchen diesmal André, Antje und Schröck zu beantworten, indem sie nicht nur die Kino- und Streamingneustarts dieser Woche, sondern auch die der vergangenen sowie das komplette Programm der FANTASY FILMFEST NIGHTS beleuchten. Dabei wird es ordentlich blutig, denn nicht nur eine Mörder-Maus und ein Killer-Einhorn machen in SCREAMBOAT und DEATH OF A UNICORN Jagd auf mal mehr, mal weniger unschuldige Opfer. So richtig schmerzhaft wird es vor allem im Fall SHADOW FORCE, dem vielleicht schlechtesten Film des Jahres 2025. Außerdem bläst ein Altbekannter zum Angriff auf die Oberschicht, denn der Protagonist aus MUXMÄUSCHENSTILL meldet sich in einem zweiten Teil zurück. SYSTEMSPRENGER-Star Helena Zengel muss derweil ein kleines knuffiges Fantasiewesen vor ihrem blutrünstigen Vater beschützen und begibt sich in dem zauberhaften Abenteuerfilm DIE LEGENDE VON OCHI auf eine Odyssee durch wunderschöne Landschaften und Wälder. Wunderschön wäre gern auch die Hauptfigur aus THE UGLY STEPSISTER, einer radikalen Neuinterpretation des Märchens „Aschenputtel“ - und für André, Antje und Schröck das Highlight auf den diesjährigen Fantasy Filmfest Nights. Da können die drei schon beim Trailer kaum hingucken, der nicht zufällig Erinnerungen an THE SUBSTANCE weckt. Seid daher gewappnet für allerhand Exzesse und Schmierigkeiten, aber auch für viel Herz und ein bisschen (NETFLIX-)Action in dieser prall gefüllten Ausgabe von KINO PLUS.

Was machen vier queere Personen, die auf dem Dach eines Hochhauses gefangen sind? Sie arbeiten harmonisch zusammen und lösen gemenisam das Problem, oder? Natürlich nicht, denn so schreibt sich keine Geschichte. Auf Hengameh Yaghoobifarahs Hochhausdach wird ordentlich gestritten, schließlich haben drei der Insassen offene Rechnungen mit Ava, die alle gleichzeitig poly datet, aber das mit der Kommunikation nicht so recht drauf hat. Ob uns die queeren Struggles und Geschichten der vier Protagonist*innen überzeugt haben und warum Fabienne das Ende "unlauter" fand, erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge.
We sat down with Melody Jue for a second episode to discuss her new work Coralations, a fascinating deep dive into the coral we know and the coral we need to know. Though tropical corals inundate perceptions of coral, there are other deep water and cold water coral that have different connections or coralations to anthropogenic climate change. By rethinking "normative coral," new media across photography, sci fi, and more come into the light.

Die zweite Staffel von "Andor" knüpft dort an, wo die erste aufgehört hat: mit großen politischen Ideen, einem nüchternen Blick auf die Frühphase der Rebellion und einer kompromisslosen Abkehr vom klassischen Star-Wars-Pathos. Und doch hinterlässt sie einen seltsam kühlen Nachgeschmack. Während Staffel 1 mit erzählerischer Präzision und emotionaler Wucht überraschte, wirkt Staffel 2 oft wie eine elegische Nachbetrachtung ihrer eigenen Brillanz.Die Dialoge sind klug, das Produktionsdesign erstklassig, die Themen mutig gewählt, aber das Feuer fehlt. Die Handlung bewegt sich mit Bedacht, manchmal zu viel davon. Was als radikale Neuerzählung begann, gleitet nun stellenweise in zähe Politthriller-Melancholie ab. Cassian Andor bleibt ein faszinierender Protagonist, doch er wird zunehmend zur Projektionsfläche für ein erzählerisches Konzept, das mehr auf Wirkung als auf Beziehung setzt.Man bewundert "Andor - Staffel 2", aber man fühlt sie selten. Und gerade das ist schade, denn die Serie hätte alles, um noch einmal so richtig zu brennen.Eine ausführliche Kritik zu "Andor - Staffel 2" von Ronny Rüsch und Axel Max - jetzt in einer neuen Folge des Film- und Serien-Podcasts "Oscars & Himbeeren". Außerdem dabei: die Tragikomödie "A Real Pain", der Motorsportfilm "Audi vs. Lancia" sowie die Sozialsatire "Your Friends & Neighbors".

In dieser Episode befasse ich mich mit dem Buch "Maschinen wie ich" von Ian McEwan, einem Roman, der tiefgreifende Fragen zur menschlichen Existenz aufwirft. Die Geschichte folgt Charlie, einem charmanten Lebenskünstler Anfang 30, und Miranda, einer intelligenten Studentin mit einem düsteren Geheimnis. Ihre Beziehung wird durch die Einführung von Adam, einem lebensechten Androiden, auf eine spannende Probe gestellt. Ich erkunde die grundlegenden Fragen des Romans: Können Maschinen denken, fühlen und lieben? Adams komplexe Emotionen und moralischen Prinzipien führen Charlie und Miranda in unerwartete und teils verhängnisvolle Situationen. In meiner persönlichen Rezension teile ich, wie ich zu diesem Buch gekommen bin. Als ich am Samstag über den Markt schlenderte und in der Büchergilde Gutenberg stöberte, fiel mir das Buch in die Hände. "Maschinen wie ich" spielt in einer alternativen Vergangenheit, im Jahr 1982, wo technologische Entwicklungen weit fortgeschrittener sind als in der Realität. Der Roman thematisiert, was wäre, wenn wir bereits im Jahr 1982 über selbstdenkende Maschinen und Konzepte wie ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen diskutiert hätten. Diese alternativen Aspekte der Handlung verleihen der Geschichte ihren einzigartigen Charme und machen sie zu einem fesselnden Leseerlebnis. Die Beziehung zwischen Charlie und Miranda steht im Mittelpunkt der Erzählung. Miranda trägt schwer an ihrer Vergangenheit, geprägt von einem traumatischen Erlebnis. Gleichzeitig wird der brillante Alan Turing eingeführt, dessen historische Figur mit der Entwicklung der Computertechnologie verbunden ist. Im Roman lebt Turing weiter und hat entscheidenden Einfluss auf die wissenschaftlichen Fortschritte. Einzigartig ist auch Adams Charakter, der nicht nur ein Roboter, sondern auch ein tiefgründiger Protagonist ist, der für Miranda empfindet und Gedichte verfasst. Trotz der Vielzahl an Themen bleibt der Roman fokussiert und unterhaltsam. McEwan skizziert eindringliche Personen und Situationen, die den Leser zum Nachdenken anregen. Ich reflektiere darüber, wohin uns die Entwicklung von Robotern führen könnte, insbesondere wenn sie uns zu ähnlich werden. "Maschinen wie ich" ist weit mehr als nur ein Science-Fiction-Roman; es ist eine Einladung zur Auseinandersetzung mit entscheidenden Fragen über unsere Menschlichkeit und Technologie. Ich empfehle jedem, die Gelegenheit zu nutzen, dieses Buch zu lesen, es hat das Potenzial, den Leser nachhaltig zu berühren und zum Nachdenken zu bringen. Der Roman ist zugänglich und doch komplex, ideal für jene, die sich auf tiefere Gedanken einlassen möchten.

Co funguje v české lize, to v evropské konfrontaci stačit nemusí. Slavia zjistila, že vedle centrů na kolohnáta Chorého potřebuje i plán B. Vasil Kušej prošel ostrým testem na výbornou, s ním hrála Slavia úplně jinak než obvykle.Pozice Slavie coby ligového lídra a „skoromistra“ už se jeví jako neotřesitelná. V situaci, kdy tomu všechny okolnosti nahrály, si proti Hradci Králové vyzkoušela jiný model ofenzivní hry než bylo v dosavadním průběhu ligy obvyklé. Místo stereotypních centrů na dvoumetrového dlouhána Chorého nabídla tentokrát Slavia svým fanouškům jiné, mnohem kreativnější představení, jehož středobodem se stala zimní posila jménem Vasil Kušej, chlapík s velmi rychlýma nohama, u kterého bylo v jeho předchozím působišti v Mladé Boleslavi, jakož i v dresu reprezentaci do 21 let na „malém Euru“ před dvěma lety, jasně patrné, že mu k charakteristice top útočníka schází jediné, zato dost podstatně: Zklidnit a zpřesnit koncovku.Protagonisté podcastu Nosiči vody probrali v aktuální epizodě i řadu dalších témat. Věnovali se diskutabilní brance baníkovce Šína ve sparťanské síti, zhrozili se nad dalším propadem Zbrojovky Brno, řeč se stočila i k domácímu poháru a k tomu, proč se v něm nedějí podobná překvapení jako v Německu, kde se do finále probojoval Bielefeld až ze 3. ligy. ---Nosiči vodyFotbalový podcast Seznam Zpráv.

Der "Great Gatsby" wurde vor 100 Jahren veröffentlicht, aber sein Protagonist - der wohlhabende Jay Gatsby - ist bis heute ein Mysterium. Lesung von Knut Cordsen und Gespräch mit dem Übersetzer Bernhard Robben.
Der amerikanische Komiker Harold Lloyd sorgte in seinem Film „Safety Last“ aus dem Jahre 1923 für Bilder, die sich in das kollektive Gedächtnis eingebrannt haben. Der von Lloyd gespielte Protagonist klettert einen Wolkenkratzer an der Fassade hoch und hängt schließlich in schwindelerregender Höhe an dem Zeiger einer großen Uhr. Diese Aufnahmen erreichten damals in Kombination mit echten Stunts eine neue Dimension der Tricktechnik. Und das ganze spielte sich am Sinnbild des amerikanischen Fortschritts ab: dem Hochhaus. Dieser Film ist eines der Beispiele, die Walter Steinhauser in der populärwissenschaftlichen Zeitschrift „Technik für Alle“ zur aktuellen Tricktechnik des Films Mitte der 20er Jahre anführt und erläutert. Die Harburger Anzeigen und Nachrichten fassen seine Ausführungen in ihrer Ausgabe vom 24. März 1925 zusammen. Rosa Leu klärt uns über den damaligen Stand von Doppelbelichtungen, Modellbau und Kameratricks auf.
