We've all sent a drunken text to an ex…but while you're in a relationship? In this week's episode, we're discussing relationships in all forms: parental, friendly, and romantic. Every form matters but they all require different skills and Jon and Alex are here to help you navigate through each one. They're still working on their relationships with Lucy…which seems mostly one sided since all she does it take…but she gives so much cuteness it doesn't even matter.

This week on Geek Freaks, we break down the latest Avengers: Doomsday chatter and what the teaser strategy might be hinting at for the MCU's next big swing. We also hit the latest Tangled live-action conversation, dig into Netflix's theatrical strategy, and wrap with quick recs you can jump into right now. What We Cover Avengers: Doomsday teaser rollout and what it suggests about the movie's tone and focus Doctor Doom and X-Men speculation, what feels likely vs what feels like fan fuel Tangled live-action updates and why casting discourse is always a battlefield Netflix's theatrical window approach and what it means for studios and audiences Quick recs and what's worth your time this week Timestamps and Topics 01:46 Question of the week: Geek New Year's resolutions 05:55 Network update: Why Challenge Accepted is being put to rest 08:12 Are Disney live-action remakes still worth it? 16:52 Sebastian Stan rumored for Harvey Dent in The Batman: Part 2 17:40 Netflix and Warner Bros. talk, plus the 17-day theatrical window idea 25:33 Avengers: Doomsday marketing strategy: four teasers vs one trailer 50:25 Weekly recommendations: comics, movies, and a Taskmaster pitch 54:41 Network shout-outs and wrap-up Key Takeaways The way Marvel markets Doomsday may tell you as much as the footage does. Doctor Doom only works if the story earns his presence instead of rushing him in. X-Men teases hit harder when they support the main plot, not replace it. Live-action remake casting always turns into a referendum on the whole idea. Netflix's theater strategy keeps changing, and that uncertainty affects everyone. Recs are still the best part of a news-heavy week when you just want something fun to watch or play. Moments Worth The Jump The "teaser strategy is the story" point for Avengers: Doomsday The "Doom needs to feel inevitable, not sudden" take The Tangled casting reality check on fan expectations The Netflix theatrical window conversation and why it matters beyond one movie Call to Action If you enjoyed the episode, follow the show, leave a rating, and share it with a friend using #GeekFreaksPodcast.

What makes the cases even more creepy is that an Appalachian apple face doll is left in place of the child. Archer draws on her personal knowledge of place as a 7th-generation Appalachian, although she now resides in Los Angeles, and is always looking for a reason to come home. The novel was a nominee for the 2025 Goodreads Choice Awards in the Best Debut Novel Category. The next Annie Gore installment comes out in August of 2026.   Our book rec section for this episode is a call back to what a lot of people were doing the past two weeks–taking planes, trains, and automobiles to family and friends to celebrate the holidays. We give you two books set on planes, two on trains, and two in automobiles, which you can look into whenever you've got travel plans in 2026.   Books Mentioned In This Episode:   1- The Witch's Orchard by Archer Sullivan  2- War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy 3- Sous Chef: 24 Hours of Working on the Line by Michael Gibney  4- Marrying the Ketchups by Jennifer Close  5- Brimstone Hollow by Archer Sullivan  6- Dragonsbane by Barbara Hambly  7- The Curse of Chalion by Lois Bujold  8- The Wizard of Earths by Ursula K.

Welcome back to the SheerLuxe Middle East Podcast – and to our final episode of the year. Hebah Baker and Talar Bilemjian join Tamara Jabi. The three get into the region's fashion momentum – from Dubai Fashion Week's guest designer Alberta Ferretti to Riyadh Fashion Week opening with Vivienne Westwood and closing with Stella McCartney – before spotlighting the emerging names they're loving, including Dubai favourite Emergency Room and its new Timberland collab. They also unpack the retail launches set to shake up 2026, from Ulta Beauty and Primark landing in the region to a clever “portable ATM” service that feels peak-Dubai convenient. There's chat about what they're watching (and avoiding), what they're wearing, and the fashion finds heading straight into their carts. They also run through the cultural openings you can't miss – including Abu Dhabi's Natural History Museum – the latest celebrity chatter, and the broader Ozempic/body-positivity conversation. Finally, they share the products they can't live without right now, from Kosas's colour-correcting concealer to a portable red-light panel and Cymbiotika's supplement sachets.Subscribe For More | http://bit.ly/2VmqduQ Get SheerLuxe Straight To Your Inbox, Daily | http://sheerluxe.com/signup Hosted on Acast.

DBH 93 just dropped.In this episode, we dive into the growing shadow cast by legalized sports betting and how it's reshaping everything—from the NBA to the NFL, from locker rooms to our own living rooms. We break down why gambling now touches every major sport, how integrity is being tested, and what this means for the future of competition.Along the way, we jump into cultural reflections, family stories, book recommendations, and the broader affordability crisis affecting everyday life. We explore how government spending and economic pressure tie into modern sports culture, and we even take a surprising detour into historical insights—like the significance of the purple room in Constantinople and how patterns of immigration are shaped by conflict.From the volatility of the Vikings to the art of deception in everyday situations, we connect history, humor, and current events to reveal how deeply the betting boom has worked its way into American culture.KEY THEMES:Sports integrity & the rise of gamblingNBA manipulation concernsEconomic strain & government spendingCultural reflections in everyday lifeHistory parallels: Byzantines, immigration, deceptionNFL volatility, sports injuries, and team identityHow modern culture mixes sports, risk, and entertainmentBOOKS, RECS & STORIES:Audiobooks, family narratives, and cultural commentary that help us connect today's issues to bigger historical patterns.If you enjoy the intersection of sports, history, culture, and humor, this one's for you.

We love unique reading projects around here, and today's guest has maintained hers since 2021. We're going to hear all about it and explore how she's adding a new twist for 2026. Kate Mosesso is a reader and improv comedian who lives and works in Chicago. She's a lifelong reader, and while she loves the stories on the page, she's an even bigger fan of the connections that reading fosters. Since 2021, Kate's undertaken a community-inspired reading project: every month, she reads a book recommended by a loved one. This project has led her to a lot of great books and given her a new way to connect with people she loves: friends, family members, even favorite professors. For 2026, she's thinking of a new angle for this long-time project and is interested in discussing how to make it really work for her. Today, we're going to explore what's happening with Kate's project, the changes she'd like to make for the year ahead, and what we can do about it. Anne recommends titles and tips to infuse Kate with confidence and enthusiasm for her reading year to come. Find the full list of titles mentioned today and leave your recommendations for Kate on our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/505. If you're curious about what the Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club is all about, today Anne shares a peek behind the scenes of this online community. From our annual readers' retreats to author talks and classes to help you make the most of your reading life, Book Club is full of things to look forward to each year. Our team Best Books of the Year event is coming up in January, an event that's only available for our online communities. And looking ahead for 2026, our Book Club members will enjoy our February Readers' Day with a Spring Book Preview themed library chat, our Summer Reading Guide unboxing, Austen in August, and more good nerdy fun. We hope you'll join us in 2026 as we celebrate 10 years of the Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club. A Book Club membership also makes a fantastic last-minute holiday gift.

Sometimes all you want from family is attention..and all of it. In this week's episode, Alex and Jon once again tackle your questions from “How do I get more attention?” to “Was Dr.Seuss on drugs?”. I think we can all agree he was on SOMETHING when writing his books, right? Alex seems to think so since all she does now is read to Lucy. Jon can't focus on reading because he's too busy defending crimes like vandalism. If you can't tell, this episode has a range of topics so there's something for everyone!

There's nothing better than relaxing into the holiday season…unless you're around family, of course. In this week's episode, Alex and Jon deal with holiday drama from petty in-laws to boyfriends that will never become husbands. It would be a holiday miracle if everyone got along during this season but you can't make everyone happy. Once you accept that the holidays come with drama, you can actually relax into the experience because you can't have joy without a little bit of sadness.Submit your questions here!⁠0:00 - Intro51:08 - Holiday Swap52: 17 - I'm Not Going To Thanksgiving54:45 - Your Boyfriend Isn't Welcome56:38 - My Husband's Family Isn't Fun01:00:57 - Do I Need To Get Him A Gift?01:02:50 - My Sister's Boyfriend Sucks01:08:39 - Angry In-Laws01:11:01 - Reading Your Secrets01:12:05 - Recs of the WeekSoft Minky Blankets: Visit https://SoftMinkyBlankets.com and use code STRAIGHT at checkout for 50% off all full priced blankets.Clean Safe Products: Go to https://cleansafeproducts.com/STRAIGHT now to get $15 off the Green Mitt Kit.Neiman Marcus: If you're looking for gifts that are guaranteed to surprise and delight, head to Neiman Marcus.Ritual: Listeners get early access to their Black Friday sale for 40%off your first month at https://Ritual.com/STRAIGHT.Hello Fresh: Go to https://HelloFresh.com/STRAIGHT10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free breakfast for Life!
