Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) US and Chinese officials offered upbeat assessments of their talks on artificial intelligence, trade and investment, signaling a mutual desire to steady ties ahead of this week’s summit between leaders Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.China’s top trade negotiator, Li Chenggang, said the talks were held in a “good atmosphere” as he left JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s headquarters in New York on Sunday, while US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lauded “very successful” discussions. The Chinese official Xinhua News Agency called the exchange “candid, in-depth and constructive.”2) Oil dropped for a fourth day, with Brent set for the longest run of declines since June, as traders tracked diplomatic efforts to end the US-Iran war and signs cargoes are still getting through the Strait of Hormuz.3) The settlement talks between Paramount Skydance Corp. and California officials over the planned acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. are said to include a financial penalty if the company fails to make good on a promise to distribute 30 films per year in theaters.Paramount would have to pay $30 million for each film that falls short of that goal, according to two people familiar with the discussions who asked to not be identified because the negotiations are private. It could also be forced to sell its stake in Miramax, the studio behind movies such as Pulp Fiction, if it fails to meet the target, one of the people said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailWhat if spotting a false prophet has less to do with predicting the future and everything to do with what they refuse to say?Episode 2 of the Justice & Peace series continues with Tim and Steve Stewart, digging into the Old Testament prophetic tradition as the foundation for everything this season will cover. Steve opens with Amos 5:24 — "let justice roll on like a river" — and argues that before the church tackles immigration, poverty, or war, it has to recover what it means to be a prophetic community: one that declares the kingdom of God and lives it out.Steve distinguishes popular "foretelling" (a personal word about a job or a relationship) from biblical "forth-telling": speaking God's heart, especially against collective injustice. Drawing on a framework from Dr. Obery Hendricks (a past podcast guest), he names two elements of true prophecy — a real encounter with God, and a message of moral and political judgment — and two marks of a false prophet: silence about social justice, and uncritical support of those in power, becoming "chaplains of the state."Leaning on Abraham Heschel's classic The Prophets, Steve and Tim trace how Amos, Micah, and Isaiah emerged during Israel's widest-ever rich-poor gap in the 8th century BC, confronting leaders who built wealth through extortion and manipulated scarcity. The conversation turns to how war gets wrapped in religious and patriotic language, then and now — touching on the 2026 U.S.–Iran war, religious leaders praying over the decision to strike, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's reported quoting of a fabricated "Bible verse" from Pulp Fiction, and Pope Leo XIV's public statements against the war. Tim raises a genuine counterpoint — the case for military action in defense of freedom — and they wrestle with it honestly rather than settling for an easy answer.They close with the prophets' harder claim: that the prophetic word ultimately outlasts the king, and that history is heading toward the day swords are hammered into plowshares.In This EpisodeWhy the church is called to be a "prophetic community" that declares and lives out the kingdom of God"Foretelling" vs. "forth-telling": the difference between a personal word and speaking God's heart on injusticeTwo marks of a false prophet: silence on social justice, and uncritical support of those in powerWhy Amos, Micah, and Isaiah emerged during Israel's widest-ever rich-poor gapHow ancient and modern nations wrap war in religious language — with real examples from the 2026 U.S.–Iran warAn honest, unresolved conversation about military action in defense of freedomWhy the prophetic word is ultimately more powerful than the king's powerThe prophets' vision of a day when "nation will no longer fight against nation" (Isaiah 2:4)This is a conversation, not a lecture — comment on YouTube, text us via your podcast app, or email podcast@impactnations.com.

Episode: 00335 Released on September 7, 2026 Description: Welcome to the first episode of JAM: Jason and Mindy on Analyst Talk! After years of talking about doing a show together, Jason Elder and Mindy Yoon finally make it happen. In this quarterly series, Jason and Mindy discuss what's on their minds in law enforcement analysis: what's their jam, what's not their jam, and whatever else comes up along the way. In this inaugural episode, Jason argues that analysts may be neglecting one of their most important clients: themselves. Jason and Mindy discuss using automation, dashboards, repeatable processes, and proactive analysis to make analysts more efficient and better prepared to serve everyone else. Then the conversation moves to farmers markets, crime prevention, situational awareness, and whether problem-oriented policing (POP) has lost some of its prominence even though many of its principles remain embedded in modern policing and crime analysis. Finally, things get a little less serious as Jason and Mindy discuss their personal “jams,” '90s music, Pokémon, Titanic, Pulp Fiction, and Mindy's theory that Titanic might actually be a time-travel movie. It's law enforcement analysis, professional discussion, random rabbit holes, and plenty of jam.

Hey Vintage Sand fans! Hope the summer was relaxing, fun, and adventurous. An offbeat recommendation to begin—even if you're not a fan, as a film lover you must see the first half hour of this summer's "Minions and Monsters", which pays gentle comic tribute to the entire history of film from Muybridge's experiments through "Citizen Kane", name-checking the Lumieres, Méliès, Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd, and riffing like "Singin' in the Rain" and "Babylon" on the impact of the arrival of sound in Hollywood. Love or hate the little yellow guys, here are some filmmakers who truly love film and film history! For the sixth time in the history of the podcast, Team Vintage Sand returns to one of its most popular formats: the Hidden Gems episode. As we did in episodes 11, 30, 40, 53, and 64 (take notes—there will be a quiz), we each choose one film to discuss that we feel has been underappreciated and overlooked by the madding crowd yearning to see anything besides a prequel, sequel, spinoff, or reboot. This time around, by pure coincidence, the episode features three films that are relatively similar in their lightness of tone, though only one might be described as a pure comedy, albeit a dark one. That would be Michael's pick, Lawrence Kasdan's "I Love You to Death" from 1990. Featuring an unbelievable cast including Kevin Kline (fresh off his Oscar win for "A Fish Called Wanda"), the sublime Tracey Ullman in her first big-screen performance, as well as Joan Plowright (who steals the film), River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves and William Hurt, the film puts a black comedy twist on the real-life story of a pizzeria-owning, philandering husband, and his wife, who makes repeated and increasingly violent unsuccessful attempts to kill him. John shines the spotlight on "The Nice Guys", the 2016 action comedy by Shane Black starring Ryan Gosling and a heavyset, Bronx-accented Russell Crowe. The film features a stellar supporting cast including Keith David, Margaret Qualley, Kim Basinger, and a wonderful performance by Angourie Rice as Gosling's daughter. Set in LA in 1977, it is a compendium of every noirish LA film ever made, from "Chinatown" to "Lebowski" to "Boogie Nights" to "Pulp Fiction" to "The Long Goodbye". As always with Black, the writing can be clunky and the tonal shifts are sometimes awkward. But the film is more than worthwhile for every priceless moment that Gosling and Crowe are together on screen; they are probably the best buddy pair featured in Black's long list of buddy action comedies. I focus on the film that brought an abrupt end to the roll Alan Rudolph was on in the mid-80's, from which the Altman disciple and wannabe never really recovered: 1987's "Made in Heaven". The story of a romance (featuring Tim Hutton and Kelly McGillis) kindled in the Afterlife but which extends from this world to the next, the film, like another 1987 release "The Princess Bride", unironically and sweetly makes the case for the power of True Love, even over death. How you feel about that idea will largely determine your reaction to Rudolph's film; there are plot holes as wide as the Pearly Gates themselves, and some questionable writing here and there. But the other thing the film has going for it is its focus on music, especially the concluding song “We've Never Danced”, written by Neil Young (who has a cameo) and sung by the wondrous Martha Davis, the lead singer of early-80's faves The Motels. So please enjoy visiting and/or revisiting these films, check out that opening of the Minions film, and celebrate the new school year by recommitting to your love of film and seeing movies in theaters. And whatever the rest of 2026 brings us in the world of film, count on Team Vintage Sand to be your trusty sherpas for the journey.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Wolf Week continues as Sidey, Dan and new dad Jamie sink their teeth into Martin Scorsese's riotous financial crime epic The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Rob Reiner, Jon Bernthal, Jon Favreau and Joanna Lumley. With Reegs absent and therefore no proper intro to keep things vaguely professional, the dads begin by catching up on what they've been watching. Dan has largely swapped screen time for Cold War spy histories while his wife is away in the Czech Republic for the summer, Jamie has returned to the comforting embrace of Blue Bloods, No Offence and Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, and Sidey has endured Jason Statham's Mutiny, a revenge-on-a-boat action thriller with suspiciously Die Hard-adjacent poster energy. The Top 5 this week is Wolves, which naturally sends the conversation roaming all over the cultural wilderness. There's Winston Wolf from Pulp Fiction, Moro from Princess Mononoke, Teen Wolf and the obvious sporting advantage of being Michael J. Fox with werewolf powers, plus Shrek's Big Bad Wolf and a detour through wolf-related music from Warren Zevon, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Duran Duran, Howlin' Wolf, Steppenwolf, Los Lobos, Wolfmother and Wolf Alice. Liam Neeson's miserable survival odds in The Grey get a mention, as do Bad Wolf and Rose Tyler from Doctor Who, Jack Nicholson in Wolf, Remus Lupin, Dances with Wolves, Portia Crystal from Sing 2, Lupine Howl, the direwolves from Game of Thrones, How Wolves Change Rivers, Rainier Wolfcastle and Oz from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Then it's on to The Wolf of Wall Street, a film the dads note is arriving neatly alongside Jersey's current Martin Scorsese cinema season. They follow Jordan Belfort from his first day as Wall Street pond scum through Matthew McConaughey's career-rescuing lunch scene of coke, booze,chest-thumping and “rookie numbers”, before Black Monday promptly ends any chance of a respectable finance career. From there it's penny stocks, Spike Jonze, 50% commissions and the arrival of Donnie Azoff, whose cousin-wife logic, blinding white teeth and crack-pipe networking help turn Stratton Oakmont into a full-blown fraud machine. Along the way, the dads dig into the film's most notorious moments: the “sell me this pen” lesson, motivational speeches, middle fingers to clients, dwarf tossing, strippers, head shaving, Rob Reiner as Belfort's furious father, Margot Robbie's Naomi making her entrance, Donnie's appalling first impression, the famous 11-second romance, Vegas excess, penicillin shots and a superyacht wedding present. They also cover Kyle Chandler's FBI agent Patrick Denham closing in, Jon Favreau's lawyer trying desperately to make Jordan stop, the Steve Madden IPO, hidden stock ownership, Joanna Lumley's Aunt Emma and the Swiss bank account, plus Jordan's spectacularly arrogant attempt to bribe the FBI with lobster, prostitutes and absolutely no self-awareness. The review also takes in the yacht storm and Italian rescue, the infamous Lemmon Quaaludes sequence with crawling, ham-choking and the destroyed Lamborghini reveal, Jordan wearing a wire while warning Donnie not to incriminate himself, and the ugly final collapse as Naomi demands a divorce, Jordan turns violent and everything finally crashes. By the end, the dads are left wrestling with prison, sales seminars and the uncomfortable question of whether the film really works as a cautionary tale, or whether it is simply too entertaining for its own good. Verdicts are strong across the board. Sidey recommends it, while still insisting it is far too long. Dan also gives it a strong recommend, particularly for the endlessly quotable scenes, and Jamie calls it a must-watch — although preferably consumed as three one-hour chunks rather than one enormous sitting.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Welcome to Missouri, where the booze is conveniently located, the dispensaries are plentiful, and buying a car on Sunday is apparently where society decided to establish some boundaries.Episode 41 kicks off with Rizz and Moon embracing their new identities as BMW owners ahead of a BMW-sponsored golf tournament. Surely the logo on the hood counts as a parking credential, right? Lern attempts to explain concepts like “parking passes” and “hang tags,” but luxury has changed these men. They've seen the badge. They know what they're worth now.From there, this comedy podcast investigates what outsiders notice when they first arrive in Missouri. Is it the rolling green landscape? The hills? The beautiful scenery? Nope. It's the ability to walk into a grocery store and buy hard liquor like a civilized Midwesterner.A woman new to Missouri is stunned by the accessibility of alcohol and recreational weed, which sends the crew down a rabbit hole of grocery-store liquor laws across America. Apparently some states still make you visit a separate store to purchase booze. We assume residents there spend their evenings staring sadly toward Missouri and wondering where freedom went wrong.But Missouri has its limits.You can buy liquor. You can visit a dispensary. You can apparently grab a tall boy at a gas station with concerning ease. But if you want to purchase a car on Sunday? Absolutely not, you lawless animal.The discovery of Missouri's “blue law” leads to another revelation: Lern and Rafe enjoy wandering dealership lots on Sundays specifically because the salespeople aren't there. Rizz finds this behavior completely alien because, according to Rizz, he loves human interaction. Moon immediately requests that the program stop lying to its audience.Then it's time for workplace rage.A leaked video of former Detroit news anchor Taryn Asher berating a colleague launches a debate over losing your temper at work, professionalism, double standards and whether one meltdown should define somebody's career. Naturally, this means revisiting some of broadcasting and Hollywood's most legendary freak-outs.Chris Berman gets angry. Christian Bale goes nuclear. Bill O'Reilly encounters the phrase “to play us out” and briefly enters another dimension.The crew debates whether these blowups are understandable high-pressure moments or just adults being terrible to coworkers. Lern also shares her own battles against studio technology, proving once again that the greatest threat to morning radio isn't declining attention spans—it's a computer deciding at 5 a.m. that today feels like a good day to die.Then Crap on Celebrities arrives with some genuinely sad rock news: longtime ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard has died at 77. The crew looks back at the band's massive career, their unmistakable Texas blues-rock sound, their MTV-era reinvention and the scientific fact that putting on a ZZ Top song makes you approximately 34% more likely to feel capable of winning a bar fight.It also raises an important question nobody else was brave enough to investigate: Has anyone ever seen ZZ Top wearing shorts?The comedy podcast rolls deeper into entertainment chaos with Nick Jonas revealing that he completely bombed his audition for Frozen after arriving unprepared, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan expanding his Arizona empire with a sushi restaurant and apparently carrying the same pair of traveling chopsticks for decades, updates surrounding Tupac's murder trial, new Queens of the Stone Age music, and the planned return of Ozzfest.The celebrity pile continues with Robin Williams' children fighting AI-generated impersonations of their father and reactivating his official Instagram account as a source for authentic material. The crew also looks ahead to Dune: Part Three sharing a release weekend with Avengers: Doomsday, because movie theaters apparently decided December needed its own traffic apocalypse.David Krumholtz says he's stepping away from acting after more than 30 years in Hollywood, which leads everyone into the great “I know that guy!” exercise before the conversation turns toward the tiny club of movies that have crossed $1 billion worldwide.That becomes a game of guessing the biggest box-office monsters before pivoting into actors whose careers were revived by one huge role: John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man, Keanu Reeves in John Wick, Brendan Fraser in The Whale, Bruce Willis in Die Hard and more.By the end, we've covered BMW privilege, Missouri liquor laws, empty car dealerships, workplace tantrums, ZZ Top, celebrity news, AI, Dune, billion-dollar movies and celebrity birthdays.And just when you think the show has reached the absolute peak of intellectual discourse, Rizz teases what's coming next:A school has a fart corner.Education is healing.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The boys are heading back to the decade of slick crime flicks, sharp dialogue and Hollywood cool for our Get Shorty 1995 Movie Review. This is peak John Travolta, riding the post-Pulp Fiction wave; Gene Hackman is doing comedy without really doing comedy, and Dennis Farina has arrived to swear at practically everyone in Los Angeles.Welcome back to Born to Watch, the Movie Review Podcast where we don't take the movies or ourselves too seriously.This week Whitey and Gow are joined by a returning Dan, who has finally wandered back into the studio after his extended sabbatical. It doesn't take long before old stories, old insults and the questionable exploits of 1990s G start flying around the room.But eventually, somehow, we get to Get Shorty.Adapted from the Elmore Leonard novel and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, Get Shorty drops loan shark Chili Palmer into Hollywood and quickly discovers that the movie business might be even more crooked than organised crime. Chili comes to Los Angeles chasing money and ends up chasing something completely different, a shot at the movies.And nobody could play Chili Palmer quite like John Travolta.The boys dig into Travolta's incredible mid-'90s resurgence and why Chili might be one of his coolest performances. This isn't the dialled-up Travolta of Face/Off or the villainous version from Broken Arrow. Chili is controlled, confident, charismatic and almost impossible to rattle. As Whitey puts it, he's basically Vincent Vega without the heroin problem.Then there's Gene Hackman as B-movie producer Harry Zimm. Hackman was apparently reluctant to play comedy, which makes his performance even better. He plays Harry almost completely straight while chaos unfolds around him, and the result is bloody funny.Rene Russo brings Karen Flores to life, Danny DeVito sends up the Hollywood superstar as Martin Weir, Delroy Lindo is outstanding as Bo Catlett, and a pre-Sopranos James Gandolfini turns up as Bear.But then there's Dennis Farina.Farina's Ray "Bones" Barboni has no interest in becoming a producer, landing a movie deal or joining Hollywood's endless bullshit machine. He wants his money. That's it. His delivery, aggression, and complete inability to understand why everyone else is suddenly obsessed with making movies produce some of the episode's biggest laughs. By the time the boys get to Star of the Show, Farina is very much in the conversation.The real star, however, might be the dialogue.The boys talk about how Get Shorty captures Elmore Leonard's distinctive rhythm, humour and effortless conversations. Whitey remembers absolutely hammering this movie after first seeing it at Hoyts with the boys, watching it repeatedly on VHS because he loved the back-and-forth between the characters.That leads perfectly into Film School for F-Wits, where Dan dives into Elmore Leonard. Get Shorty was Leonard's favourite adaptation of his work, and the boys explore the run that also gave us Jackie Brown and Out of Sight. Dan also breaks down Leonard's famous approach to writing, including natural dialogue, avoiding unnecessary exposition and one beautifully simple philosophy: if your writing sounds like writing, rewrite it.There's also plenty buried in Listen to This, including the actors considered for Chili Palmer, Danny DeVito originally being lined up for the role, James Gandolfini's performance attracting the attention of David Chase, Tarantino's connection to the project and Travolta's determination to protect Leonard's dialogue.Add The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, 1995 movie memories, Quickfire, quotables and the G-Man's wonderfully ridiculous Born to Get Shorty Kick Arse Credit Song, and we've got ourselves another proper Born to Watch outing.Is Get Shorty still one of the smartest crime comedies of the '90s? Does Travolta's Chili Palmer remain one of cinema's coolest operators? And can Dennis Farina steal an entire movie simply by being Dennis Farina?There's only one way to find out.Join Whitey, Gow and Dan as Born to Watch heads to Hollywood, where everybody wants to be in the movie business, even the gangsters.#GetShorty #GetShortyMovie #JohnTravolta #GeneHackman #DennisFarina #ElmoreLeonard #90sMovies #MovieReview #MoviePodcast #BornToWatch

In 1994, a former video store clerk turned indie provocateur rearranged the crime film and, in the process, rearranged Hollywood itself.Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary's take on hardboiled detective novels from pulp magazines in the 1920s and 30s, stemmed from the success of his first feature, Reservoir Dogs. It would lead to him becoming acquainted with Danny DeVito; a man who would encourage Tarantino having final cut privileges, as well as cast approval for an $8.5 million independent movie, featuring extreme violence, drugs, crime, death and revenge.Pulp Fiction would lead to star turns (and Oscar nominations!) for Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman, as well as John Travolta's career resurrection. It would also lead to Harvey Weinstein not getting his way, for once.Pulp Fiction has become iconic in its soundtrack, its visual language, its use of storytelling, certain scenes are immortalised in cinema, it's influenced TV, music, literature and ads. It showed us the brutality of life, in a way that was somehow palatable to the masses, and became the template for a new generation of indie imitators.Support Verbal DioramaLoved this episode?

In 2007, the Coen Brothers made a thriller set in 1980 that somehow captured an American dread that hadn't fully arrived yet. Critic Hugo Emmerzael and academic Dan Hassler-Forest return to No Country for Old Men — the coin toss, the deaths that happen offscreen, the sheriff who solves nothing — to ask how a film everybody already loves quietly called the next twenty years.Hugo and Dan get into the film's nihilism, its collapse of the Western hero and detective who restores order, and the strange afterlife of Javier Bardem's iconic Anton Chigurh: from Oscar winner to right-wing meme. JD Vance has even used Chigurh's monologue in a political speech, while Pete Hegseth apparently mistook Pulp Fiction for the Bible.And what does No Country for Old Men have in common with Euphoria? What felt like a disturbing vision of a society emptied of values in 2007 can now feel less like a warning than a description of everyday life.Get tickets to ⁠⁠Cine Of The Times: No Country For Old Men⁠⁠ @ LAB111A LAB111 production.

I talk to filmmakers all the time who say things like, I'm reviving the romcom. Or my film is a homage to 1950s Westerns. The statements encompass so many genres but the truth is, most of the time they don't work. It ends up being a facsimile of something great, which isn't good at all.This is a long way at getting to the point that NIMRODS, opening in theaters on August 14th, is the absolute real deal: a film that will remind you of the GOONIES, as my guest, director Lee Kirk hints at, without trying to remake it. It tells the story of three kids driving cross country to open for Green Day on New Year's Eve, and as you might imagine, complications ensue.I'm so excited to celebrate original art with a director who knows his classics.Lee and I talk about:how he was able to successfully bring back the feelings of 1990s/2000s road trip films;if non-Green Day fans will enjoy the film;how he got started in filmmaking;actors writing parts for themselves and if that's a way in;how new filmmakers can find their voice;what he's learned since his previous features;whether this ever was going to be a biopic and how he feels about the genre;the amazing casting in this film;how he ended up casting himself in the film;the festival strategy for the film and the decision to go theatrical;the luxury of avoiding social media;if being a playwright bleeds over to screenwriting.Memorable Quotes:"We started talking about the movies that we wanted it to feel like, right? So one of the big ones was "Goonies." We talked about "Goonies," but also movies like "Footloose" and "Vacation""It's a film about being a teenager and the struggles that go along with not having all the agency over your life, having these hopes and dreams and beliefs in yourself, and wanting to find something, wanting to build a life, but frustrated with what you got.""Every actor should be [writing their own scripts."" If you like Quentin Tarantino, make your version of "Pulp Fiction," and you're gonna find something in there about what you have to say.""Theatrical was always the goal."Links:Follow NIMRODS On Instagram

The Shawshank Redemption is now the highest-rated film on IMDb's Top 250, a fixture of cable rotation, and shorthand for cinematic hope itself. But in 1994, it was a box office failure; a $25 million adaptation of a Stephen King novella. It opened on just 33 screens, and despite fantastic test screenings, got buried under Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump. A movie that was destined to be a huge success, disappeared uneventfully from cinema screens, and usually that's the end of the story.But destiny had its own plans for The Shawshank Redemption.A movie about hope, patience and decades-long endurance became a story about its own hopeful, patient, decades-long climb.

What happens when journalists cover politics without understanding the religion shaping the story?Brian Kaylor, president and editor-in-chief of Word&Way and the leader of A Public Witness, joins Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram to explain why religion reporting matters in an era of Christian nationalism, government-sponsored worship, and growing confusion about the role Christianity plays in American public life. Kaylor describes how political reporters can miss biblical references, theological claims, and denominational differences that are central to understanding events such as January 6, presidential elections, and the political influence of conservative Christianity.The conversation then turns to Kaylor's reporting on Christian worship services organized inside the Pentagon and other federal agencies. He explains the involvement of Pete Hegseth, Doug Wilson, Franklin Graham, Southern Baptist leaders, defense contractors, violent biblical rhetoric, and a prayer borrowed from Pulp Fiction. The episode also examines the constitutional difference between a private religious group using a government building and the government planning and hosting its own worship service.The final episode of Church & State 250 returns to the principle at the center of the series: America's most significant religious experiment was the decision to separate church and state. Kaylor argues that this separation protects religious minorities, government employees, and Christianity itself from the corrupting influence of political power.Guest BioBrian Kaylor, PhD, is president and editor-in-chief of Word&Way, an independent Christian media organization founded in 1896, and the leader of A Public Witness, a publication covering religion, politics, and culture. A Baptist minister with a doctorate in political communication from the University of Missouri, Kaylor is an award-winning journalist, author, speaker, and scholar whose work focuses on Christian nationalism, political rhetoric, religious liberty, church-state separation, and the ways Christianity is used to support government power. He is the author or co-author of seven books, including Sacramental Politics, Baptizing America, and The Bible According to Christian Nationalists.

Urge Overkill appeared to be riding high after the critical triumph of its 1993 album, Saturation, and the prominent appearance of its Neil Diamond cover, “Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon,” in Pulp Fiction in 1994. But by the time the alt-rock trio reunited with producers the Butcher Bros. to record the follow-up album, expectations and circumstances had changed. As singer-songwriter-guitarists Nash Kato and Eddie “King” Roeser recall here in stark detail, the two of them were in different places personally and musically, drummer Blackie Onassis was fighting his own demons, and an unhealthy environment developed around the Butcher Bros.' new studio outside Philadelphia. Exit the Dragon, the resultant album that recently marked its 30th anniversary, is a dark, slithery, ragged work that has achieved a lasting power amid its tattered nerve endings. What happened here, and why did Exit the Dragon turn out to be the final Urge Overkill album featuring Kato, Roeser and the late Onassis? (Photo: Jerod Herzog)

Chegamos no CineYur 40 e decidimos transformar dois diretores chamados Quentin num campeonato de filmografia.Quentin Tarantino vs Quentin Dupieux.O episódio inteiro funciona assim.Criamos 3 rounds.No primeiro, os filmes se enfrentam por ordem cronológica. Primeiro filme contra primeiro filme, segundo contra segundo e por aí vai. Então vira coisas como Reservoir Dogs vs Steak, Pulp Fiction vs Rubber, Jackie Brown vs Wrong.No segundo round, os filmes são comparados pela função dentro da carreira de cada diretor. O filme que consolidou a identidade do autor. O mais agressivo visualmente. O mais obcecado por identidade. O mais autoconsciente. O mais claustrofóbico.E em algum momento a gente percebeu que estava discutindo The Hateful Eight vs Yannick como se isso fosse completamente normal.No terceiro round a conversa vira quase uma discussão sobre o que realmente importa no cinema.Melhor filme absoluto. Melhor roteiro. Originalidade. Personagens. Técnica. Impacto. Reassistibilidade.Cada categoria vale ponto. Vitória vale um. Empate vale meio.Só que depois de um tempo o placar começa a importar menos que a diferença entre os dois diretores.O Tarantino parece alguém tentando transformar cinema em mito moderno.O Dupieux parece alguém tentando descobrir até onde ainda dá pra brincar com um filme.E talvez o episódio tenha acabado ficando exatamente sobre isso.

Aristotle in his POETICS made a simple yet incisive claim-good dramatic work has a 3 act structure-a beginning, a middle, and an end. Horace in classic Rome expanded this to a 5 act structure.  In the age of cinema, a slightly modified three act structure has been the dominant approach in American screenwriting. Yet many, if not most movies, actually deviate from this structure. And filmmakers like Kurosawa and Kubrick embrace other structures like the symphonic structure-4 movements. Yet, ultimately, many variations can still be harmonized to a progression of 3 distinct parts. Secret Movie Club programmer.founder Craig Hammill looks at Pulp Fiction, Memento, The Thin Red Line, 2001, Mad Max and many others to discuss all the different kinds of successful and discovered structures. And what that might say about an even more profound structure in successful cinematic work.

Just days after Anthropic launched Fable 5 and Mythos — two of the most capable AI models ever released — the US Commerce Department stepped in with an unprecedented national security export control order and effectively forced Anthropic to pull the kill switch on both models globally. The move signals something that we have been watching build for years: Washington now legally treats cutting-edge AI code the same way it treats weapons. We also get into the social media ban backfire hitting governments worldwide, the emerging analog bag movement, and a few pieces of tech that are either genuinely useful or complete nonsense depending on how much disposable income you have.Key Moments0:00 — The US government shuts down Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos: what just happened1:08 — Jason explains how AI export controls work — and why this one is different3:18 — What Fable 5 actually did: Jeremy asks Jason to explain the threat5:12 — How Fable 5 turned three weeks of Jason's dev work into one day7:08 — The 'get me $20 million in two weeks' scenario: why state actors are the real concern8:24 — AI as the Wolf from Pulp Fiction — but it cleans its own car9:29 — Senator Kelly's amendment: forcing human accountability into autonomous weapons11:12 — Why the audit trail problem makes the amendment unenforceable15:32 — College seniors boo Eric Schmidt: the worst commencement speech in recent memory16:24 — Why a four-year degree doesn't buy what it used to — and who's actually getting work22:42 — Social media bans for kids are backfiring: VPNs, underground platforms, and unintended consequences26:40 — We're all addicts and we know it: the screen dependency conversation we keep not having27:35 — The analog bag movement: is carrying a sack of notebooks actually the answer?33:43 — Dream's $700 floor lamp that gives you a blowout: luxury appliance or absurd gimmick?34:08 — Switchbot's AI art frame with e-ink display: actually kind of cool36:08 — FITIC's 3D-printed custom shoes: great engineering, requires pictures of your feet

JD Vance and Mike Johnson defend Donald Trump's fight against the pope, while Trump says "he's all about the Gospel" and Defense Secretary Hegseth leads soldiers in prayer using a fake Bible quote from "Pulp Fiction." More troops are on their way to the Middle East as the United States and Iran look for a short-term agreement before the ceasefire expires Tuesday. Republicans worry that Trump's "nonsense" is distracting from their midterm affordability message, and a New York Post reporter publishes an excerpt from Health Secretary Kennedy's diary in which he recalls cutting off the penis of a roadkill raccoon. Then, Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan stops by the studio to talk to Tommy about her campaign for Senate, how ICE's operations in her state have reshaped the race, and what she wants to see from Democratic leadership in the Senate.Are you a Friend of the Pod subscriber?
