We're back and we're talking about MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PART ONE, the first reckoning of an epic two-part reckoning. Ben remembers enjoying this one back in theatres in 2023, Alex has never seen it. Does it hold up? Is it a mess? Is the franchise past its prime???Before we answer these questions (and more!) we also talk about the Cannes Film Festival and some other films we've been watching: FINAL DESTINATION BLOODLINES, A BETTER MAN, THE MONKEY, THE SHROUDS, FLIGHT RISK, M. BUTTERFLY, IMPERIAL GREEN (and more!)Next week, the second and final (?) reckoning and last film of the franchise (?) - MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONINGFollow us @thefranchisees on Instagram and Twitter and email us at thefranchiseespod@gmail.com

Whoa—June is no chill zone. It's full-on transformation mode with breakthrough energy, emotional clarity, and cosmic turning points you won't want to miss.In this episode, I'm breaking down the key transits for each week, including:

Steve's Required Viewing pick, the brand-new over-the-top action thriller Fight or Flight, asks the question: is this Josh Hartnett's “John Wick on a plane,” or just another movie where a disgraced federal agent ingests toad venom and kills contract killers with a chainsaw? Then Ron and John try to explain the adrenaline rush of watching Tom Cruise climb around on a biplane in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. And lastly, if you like your Reckonings final, how about your Destinations? Final Destination: Bloodlines resuscitates that durable franchise with a new entry focusing on a family who comes down with a bad case of death. John has a few thoughts.

Faolan faces their past... and experiences that inexplicably differ from it. Ishmael attempts to survive the influence of the coven he betrayed. And Mitch walks side by side with Walter, toward a final reckoning with the Mnemophage.

The flames of the past ignite new questions in this firestarter episode of Upgrade America. As a plantation mansion burns, we ask: what should rise from the ashes—another monument to oppression or a space for healing and purpose? CJ and Camron Ra dismantle American mythology disguised as history and confront why racism still poisons the national soul. We spotlight Rep. Summer Lee and Gov. Wes Moore's reparations push, exploring why reparations for Black Americans aren't optional when Native, Japanese, and Jewish communities have already received justice. We reflect on Ryan Coogler's "Sinners", and dive into law enforcement and use of force from a Defender Security Forces veteran's perspective. Plus: Why Derek Chauvin must not be pardoned. Fertility clinic terrorism, reproductive rights, and the dangerous extinction fantasy from the Right. A deeper look at Spain's policy to pay homemakers and how it could actually revive the U.S. nuclear family. 11 convicts escape—our take on prison reform the Upgrade America way. And is CERN turning lead into gold?

Mitch and Walter cross paths once again. And as Ishmael and Faolan become conspicuous by their absence, Ishmael has a tense communion with his past.

This week, there are a few run-ins with Kennedy family members, a little exploration about Linda Tripp's role in the whole scandal, and Dunne's time watching the trial too.

The crew of The Liberty Den dives into another jam-packed roundtable as they tackle the suspicious death of Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, the missing Epstein files, and the intelligence networks that may be scrambling to cover their tracks. They explore whether Giuffre's death was truly a suicide or a deeper move in the ongoing global chess match. The conversation expands into the corruption of the judiciary, Trump's strategic use of media narratives, and the neocon versus America First struggle brewing inside the Pentagon. Expect deep dives into Trump's executive strategies, witness protection theories, the realities of cleaning out corrupt judges, and a hilarious look at Cash Patel's role in dismantling deep state networks. From the cultural absurdity of defending MS-13 to Trump's masterful narrative traps, this episode is a no-holds-barred analysis of the accelerating collapse of the uniparty and their propaganda machine.

This week, we're diving headfirst into the 9-1-1 two-parter that had us glued to the screen! From jaw-dropping rescues to emotional twists, we break down every moment and give our thoughts on where the show is headed next. But that's not all—we're also talking about the latest from Found, the wild chaos of The Floor, and revisiting the post-apocalyptic brilliance of The Last of Us. Whether you're a seasoned binge-watcher or just looking for your next TV obsession, we've got plenty of recommendations and hot takes to keep your watchlist full. Expect laughs, debates, and maybe even a few unpopular opinions—because that's how we roll. Hosted by your TV-loving duo, Jason (@3geekjay) and Jayme (@jayme3312), we're here to guide you through everything worth watching (and maybe what to skip).

As the world mourns the death of Pope Francis at 88, this episode examines his deeply polarizing legacy—from politicizing the Church to triggering financial strain within the Vatican. Meanwhile, new developments from the White House reignite the COVID-19 origin debate, pointing fingers at China, the Wuhan Lab, and Echo Health Alliance. With fresh investigations underway and Fauci's unexplained wealth spike raising eyebrows, this segment questions the transparency of our institutions and the reckoning still to come.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Karen E Osborne, author of the book Justice for Emerson. Karen is an award-winning and Amazon Kindle best-selling author of five suspense novels–Reckonings (award-winning family saga/suspense), Tangled Lies (award-winning murder mystery), Getting It Right (recognized by Essence Magazine as a Best Read), True Grace, (award-winning historical fiction inspired by her grandmother, set in 1924 Harlem, NY), and Justice for Emerson, a dual timeline murder mystery.   Karen believes in generosity and giving back. She hosts a weekly video podcast What Are You Reading? What Are You Writing? supporting fellow authors. She is on the board of directors of Easterseals Florida helping the differently abled, is an Elder in her church, volunteers for several professional organizations supporting nonprofits and feeds the hungry and unhoused every week. Native New Yorkers living in Florida, Karen and her husband, Robert, have two grown children and three grandsons.   In my book review, I stated Justice for Emerson is a wonderful mystery with a side of romance and a dash of historical fiction - and I simply loved this book! Without a doubt, I am a sucker for books that cross genres. Plus, it had a dual timeline and more than one POV.   The main character, Aria, loves to serve. Her career puts her on the frontlines battling homelessness, addiction, and hunger. She's a go-getter, but she's not perfect. She has a chip on her shoulder - she hates her diminutive stature and worries if others see her as a capable leader - AND she's still grieving the loss of her husband - which means she's more than conflicted about the attention of two very different and very handsome men.   Things come to a head when she finds Emerson, a volunteer and Vietnam Vet who struggles with addiction, shot in the basement of her non-profit. To make matters worse, she sees the killer, and he threatens her and everyone she loves.   The descriptions of those living in their cars tore at my heart. The romance stirred my heart. And the twists and turns kept my heart racing.

Absolute1776 and Stormy Patriot Joe are back to dissect the latest whirlwind of psyops, deep state exposure, and strategic plays unfolding in real time. From the Epstein files drama and the influencer chaos surrounding it to Trump's bold moves on crypto, the border, and the global chessboard, this episode pulls no punches. The guys also dive into the latest proofs, explore JFK Jr. theories, and break down why Ukraine and Zelensky are quickly running out of options. Plus, a look at the Vatican's shakeups, Flynn's latest comms, and how the battle for truth is shaping the final stages of the Great Awakening. 

Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher are joined by the art critic and historian Hal Foster to speak about his latest book, Fail Better: Reckonings with Artists and Critics. A collection of essays that brings together over three decades of Foster's work, the book exhibits a rigorous philosophical and political engagement with a celebrated group of critics and artists who span the 1960s to the present. Foster digs deep into the work of Pop masters, Minimalists, and the Pictures Generation, as well as contemporary artists, always splaying open the vein of his critique to make it resonant beyond the confines of the art world, and in broader conversation with history and culture. In addition to writers like TJ Clark and Rosalind Kraus, in Fail Better he also reflects on his own work as a critic, and the changes that have occurred in the landscape between his emergence in the 1980s and now.

Our special Off The Shelf guest this morning is Karen Osborne. Karen has been an avid lover of “stories” since she was a kid. She started writing when she was 12-years-old.  However, her career in academia and being a wife and mom, not to mention operating The Osborne Consulting and Training firm, saw writing take backstage. She was traveling when she wrote the first draft of “Getting It Right”. Next came her books “Tangled Lies”, “Reckonings” and “True Grace”. Her next book “Justice for Emerson” is due out March 2025.Enjoy the show!

In this first 2025 edition of RattlerGator Report, JB White dives into Trump's bold strategies to reshape the world order. From renegotiating trade agreements with Canada and Mexico to reclaiming the Panama Canal and Greenland, Trump's “Big Daddy” leadership style takes center stage.

In this episode, we're discussing plants, their exuberant multispecies sexualities and what we can learn from them, how botany is always interlinked with its cultural and historic context including colonialism, and an interdisciplinary approach can make one a better scientist. Host Susan Mathews is in conversation with Professor Banu Subramaniam, the Luella LaMer Professor of Women's and Gender Studies at Wellesley College. Trained as a plant evolutionary biologist, Banu engages the feminist studies of science in the practices of experimental biology and is most recently the author of Botany of Empire: Plant Worlds and the Scientific Legacies of Colonialism. The book is about plant worlds and the legacies of colonialism. It focuses on three subfields: plant taxonomy, plant reproductive biology, and plant biogeography. Plant taxonomy is a critical node of colonial botany and its enduring afterlives. Plant reproductive biology chronicles how the imaginaries of gender and race under colonial sexuality were imposed on plants. Finally, understanding plant biogeography through invasion biology centres questions of what belongs, or doesn't, when and where.

What I really wanted to do was to show a strong, flawed woman - a hundred years ago! - dealing with the same issues that strong, flawed women are dealing with today.KAREN E. OSBORNE, an award-winning and Amazon Kindle best-selling author of four suspense novels–Reckonings (award-winning family saga/suspense), Tangled Lies (award-winning murder mystery), Getting It Right (recognized by Essence Magazine as a Best Read), True Grace, (award-winning historical fiction inspired by her grandmother, set in 1924 Harlem, NY), and Justice for Emerson, a dual timeline murder mystery due out March 13, 2025.

Stephanie Lepp is a video artist and producer whose work focuses on bringing together different viewpoints to arrive at a perspective that goes beyond “common ground” and emerges as a true integration, or synthesis. She was on the podcast in July 2022 to talk about a project called Deep Reckonings. In it, she considered the cases of public figures who'd responded to personal controversy in less-than-ideal ways and reimagined responses that would have conveyed genuine learning. Now she's back with a new video series, Faces of X, which illustrates an argument using a single performer to act out the three parts of the thesis, antithesis, synthesis schematic. Those performers include Buck Angel, Liv Boeree, Magatte Wade, and herself. In this conversation, I talk with Stephanie about why it's so hard to check your confirmation bias (even — and maybe even especially — when you pride yourself on being able to do so), the difference between synthesis and “both sidesism,” and why she's optimistic about the future of public discourse about complicated issues. GUEST BIO Stephanie Lepp is the founder of Synthesis Media, a production studio devoted to integrating perspectives into a bigger picture. In 2022, she debuted Reckonings, a narrative podcast that explores how we change our hearts and minds, and Deep Reckonings, a series of explicitly-marked deepfake videos that imagine morally courageous versions of our public figures. Her new project is Faces of X. Watch Deep Reckonings. Watch Faces of X. Listen to Stephanie Lepp's previous interview on The Unspeakable. Want to hear the whole conversation?

Send us a Text Message.In this episode of Authors Who Lead, I welcome Karen Osborne, an award-winning author and podcaster. This intriguing conversation delves into how we use fiction to address political and historical issues without directly engaging in politics. Karen's newest book, "Justice for Emerson," is set in 1968 and explores themes of race and the treatment of black veterans during and after the Vietnam War. Her first dive into a city she created allows for the resurrection of characters from her prior book, "Reckonings," adding an extra layer of familiarity and depth for her readers.My own work, "Adventures in Cinderbottom," focuses on the humanity of coal miners in Southern West Virginia, pushing back against the often negative stereotypes portrayed about the region. My ability to tell rich, humane stories has garnered positive feedback from actual residents of the cities I write about, showing that authenticity and sincerity resonate deeply with readers.Timestamp:00:00 Sibling search unravels family's mixed race history.05:23 Characters make surprising choices, revealing their humanity.07:42 Novel based on real events in 1924.09:43 Memoir turned coming-of-age story in the 50s.15:50 The Author creates a new setting for an upcoming book.17:08 Adventures in Cinderbottom depicts humanity amidst hardships.21:09 Fiction addresses political issues in a historical context.25:29 Discussing memories with husband to fact-check.27:54 Author's son, skilled beta reader, successful writer.33:40 Showcasing expertise through podcast interviews, learning journey.34:19 Podcasting has helped me become a better writer.38:10 Persistence pays off for aspiring authors.42:45 Inspiring students to become published authors.Full show notesCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS

Kate Wolf speaks with writer and journalist Yasmin Zaher about her debut novel, The Coin. An allegorical tale of alienation, loneliness, and repulsion, the book follows a Palestinian woman who's recently fulfilled her family's dream of moving to America. In New York, working as a middle school teacher, she finds herself disillusioned with the filth of the city and its poverty. She's beset with a deep unease at her own body and haunted by memories, especially that of a coin—a shekel—she swallowed on a car ride as a child just moments before a horrible accident. Estranged from the few people she knows in the city, her behavior becomes increasingly unhinged and bizarre in ways that complicate standard stories of immigration, and instead imagine the path of a character who sees through America's promise and realizes she has nothing to lose. Also, Nell Irvin Painter, author of I Just Keep Talking, returns to recommend three books and one magazine: The Plague Edition of Konch Magazine edited by Ishmael Reed and Tennessee Reed's; Black Art and Aesthetics: Relationalities, Interiorities, Reckonings edited by Michael Kelly and Monique Roelofs; James: a Novel by Percival Everett; and Changing My Mind: Occasional Essays by Zadie Smith.

It's the spin off Mary has claimed she's been wanting for years: an all out Kimberly / Matt sitcom. But, it's still Melrose Place, so it's filled with dramatics, crime fighting, sex, and sarcasm. In this remix, Brittany is back, and somehow, connected to Jack Parezi. We think we might have hit the limits of the robot's natural processing abilities, as tensions and intrigues rotate between heightening, quickening, and calming.

This episode features Sara Jolena Wolcott, an ecotheologian, minister, healer, ceremonialist, consultant, singer, and founder of Sequoia Samanvaya—an organization dedicated to harmonizing with ancient wisdom. She is also the host of The ReMembering And ReEnchanting Podcast. We discuss some of the many facets of her interdisciplinary but also cross-sector work. She addresses the crucial role that origin stories play in cosmovisions, and why it is so important for the climate leadership and religious leadership to take them seriously. She also focuses on decolonization as a critical and often-missing piece from ecospiritual discussions. She discusses her time at Union Theological Seminary, including her experience volunteering for a climate Justice conference hosted by the Center for Earth Ethics, led by Karenna Gore.She has ongoing courses and boutique offerings for academics, spiritual/religious leaders, environmentalists, investors, and others who are being called forth to live courageously in these times of interconnectivity. These include a ReMembering Course, an Origin Stories course, and Circular Calendar courses. Listeners might also enjoy reading Sara Jolena's published work, including articles about circular time - The Deer at the End of the World and the Goddess of the Dawn and Reckonings with Time(s); her M.Div. thesis ReMembering the Story of the Anthropocene Age; and the From the Darkness. 

Tires and doors falling off mid-flight. A top US official stranded because of a 737 jet maintenance issue.

In this special easter episode, we look at  the curious intersections of a Goddess of the Dawn, the turning point of the Christian calendar and cosmovision, and the way in which time itself was reconceptualized in early medieval Europe, with reverberations and implications for today.  This is an audio essay, not a conversation, and it picks up on threads from some of our earlier work around circular time, the transition into Christianity in Europe, ecclesiastical history, and our ongoing inquiry into the eco-spiritualities necessary to both interpret, respond to, and find faithfulness in the midst of a changing climate.Article Version: The Goddess of the Dawn and Reckonings with Time(s)Written by Sara Jolena Wolcott: Lady Pancakes the Rabbit and related Spring Metaphors… Between metaphors and reality: suggestions for Seasonal InquiryReferences mentioned in this podcast include: Bede, The Reckoning of TimeCS Lewis - The Discarded Image, an introduction to medieval and renaissance literatureGoddess of the Dawn podcast by FairfolkGeorge Musser - The Paradox of Time: Why it can't stop, and mustThe ReMembering Course -  Registrations are accepted through April 8.

Today we're rerunning an episode from 2018 featuring two interviews with Harper's Magazine's former New Books columnist, Lidija Haas, and with our current Easy Chair columnist Rachel Kushner. Listen in advance of our event tonight at the Center for Fiction, “What Happened to Gen X?,” which will see Harper's editor Christopher Beha in conversation with his generational peers Rachel Kushner and Ethan Hawke as they explore the question at the center of our September issue. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee—and Brett Kavanaugh's irate response—was an excruciating bit of political theater, complete with righteous speeches from both sides of the aisle. (It also proved to be not much more than spectacle, as Kavanaugh was sworn in as an associate justice earlier this week.) Nevertheless, the event illustrated how we are socialized to perform and understand gender, race, and class. In this episode, New Books columnist Lidija Haas joined Harper's web editor Violet Lucca to discuss a handful of recent publications that deal with these issues: Lacy M. Johnson's The Reckonings, Rebecca Traister's Good and Mad, and Kristen M. Ghoddsee's Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism. In the second segment, Rachel Kushner, the author of The Mars Room and Telex From Cuba joined Lucca to discuss an essay she wrote that was included in the October 2018 issue's Readings section, pulled from her memories of the late Nineties New York art world.

Aisha Harris, co-host of the NPR show ‘Pop Culture Happy Hour,' joins us to chat about her new book ‘Wannabe: Reckonings with the Pop Culture That Shapes Me.' The book is a testament to the fact that, whether we want to or not, we inevitably learn a lot about the world from TV shows and movies and music videos. In essays on everything from the Spice Girls to film critic Roger Ebert to ‘King Richard,' Aisha explores her own relationship to pop culture over the past three decades, both as a consumer and a critic.Then, we dive into the world of cartoons as part of our ongoing Nerdy Jobs series. In this installment, we follow Tyler Washington's path from her childhood love of shows like 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' to her job as a storyboard artist and revisionist.]]>
