We just watched the new Superman streaming on HBO Max, and… yikes! For longtime Superman fans, this was a letdown, glossy visuals, loud action, and a script packed with meme references, TikTok energy, and Gen Z/Gen Alpha humor. There's little of the depth or wonder adults remember from Superman; instead, this reboot plays strictly for the Fortnite generation. The cast is young, the jokes are relentless, and any sense of gravity or myth is swapped for viral catchphrases and shallow sentimentality. If you want Reeve's charm or even Cavill's intensity, this one just isn't for you.What did you think, was this Superman a true hero for a new generation, or have they lost what made the character iconic?

It's a mournful day for Minnesota Lynx fans. The team lost Game 4 of the WNBA semifinals to the Phoenix Mercury Sunday night. That means they're out of the playoffs. The Lynx were ranked No. 1 in the league this season and favored to make the finals. Head coach Cheryl Reeve was not at the game. The league suspended her for behavior during and after the previous game in Phoenix.Reeve and some other coaches have said the play in the WNBA is becoming too physical.Joining Minnesota Now host to talk about this and the Vikings games across the pond are our sports contributors Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson.

The adventurers began this session crammed into the cellar of a decrepit Vallaki house, hidden by the wereraven Dannika Martikov after their chaotic escape from the gallows. Radley Fullthorn, the Human Eldritch Knight, and Daermon Cobain, the Elf Arcane Trickster, were unconscious, dragged to safety by allies while Urihorn Tenpenny, the Halfling Beastmaster, and his panther kept watch. Above, Wachter's patrols rattled doors and questioned villagers, searching for fugitives.When Radley and Daermon regained consciousness, the group debated their next move. Their companion Traxidor, the Half-elf Cleric of Light, had been executed. Worse, his body was strung up in public. In Barovia, corpses are not only reminders of mortality but tools of terror. Radley recalled earlier visions of hanged comrades — Valen'eir's ghost and Baron Vallakovich's lynching — all echoes of this grim moment. Barovia repeats its cruelties, each cycle sharper than the last.The group considered a desperate plan. Perhaps the Abbot at Krezk could resurrect Traxidor, if they could reclaim his body. Dannika scouted the gates, reporting guards and wardens everywhere. She armed Radley with studded leather and a raven-crested shield, a sign of the Keepers of the Feather, the wereraven resistance. Urihorn revealed he could heal and offered Van Richten's potion. Plans set, they waited for nightfall.At the square, Traxidor's corpse swayed in the dark. Four guards stood watch. Daermon and Radley approached disguised as drunks, hoping to lower suspicion. Urihorn, hidden above with bow drawn, covered them. The ruse worked. Guards jeered, ready to shake down “drunkards.” The ambush was swift: Daermon slid a dagger through a heart, Radley crushed another, Urihorn's arrows dropped the rest. One fleeing man burned alive from Radley's fire bolt, another fell pierced by arrows. No mercy tonight.Then laughter echoed. Lady Wachter's voice boomed unnaturally loud, mocking their efforts as predictable. Her image shimmered nearby. Daermon lunged, cleaving her form — but his blade passed through. She was only an illusion.The air rippled. From portals spilled fiends: Spined Devils, winged horrors firing volleys of burning barbs, and a towering Barbed Devil, stinking of brimstone, its hide covered in jagged spines, its eyes glowing with malice. Lady Wachter had summoned servants of Asmodeus, lord of the Nine Hells.The battle turned desperate. Spines rained. Hellfire burned. Radley's fire bolt splashed harmlessly against the devils' infernal resistances. Urihorn loosed arrow after arrow, panther snarling. Daermon dodged, struck, and poured Van Richten's potion down Radley's throat to keep him alive. The cleric's corpse swung like bait, pierced by spines meant for Radley.Urihorn found a mark — one devil burst into ash. But more pressed on. Radley cut the noose, slinging Traxidor's body over his shoulder. Spines pierced the corpse but missed his living flesh. Devils chased them down alleys, fireballs crashing, barbs flying. Together, the adventurers staggered toward the Blue Water Inn, wounded, burdened, pursued. The city itself seemed to close in.Barovia always twists rescue into torment. They had slain guards, claimed Traxidor's body, even destroyed a devil. But they remained hunted, battered, and uncertain if they could even reach sanctuary. Wachter's laughter still rang in their ears.HeroesRadley: Human Eldritch Knight, fighter with sword and fire magic.Daermon: Elf Arcane Trickster, rogue with stealth and illusions.Urihorn: Halfling Beastmaster Ranger, partnered with a black panther.Traxidor (fallen): Half-elf Cleric of Light, executed by Wachter.Sören (fallen): Aasimar Paladin, slain earlier by the Reeve.

In Vallaki, justice is never blind. It is theater, staged with gallows and blood to frighten a weary people into obedience.Barovia wastes nothing, not even prisoners. Only a day after Radley the Eldritch Knight and Traxidor the Cleric were captured by Wachter's men, the town square filled with hammers and wood. Gallows rose before the eyes of Vallaki's beaten citizens. Here there are no cells and no juries — only spectacle, execution, and fear.At the Blue Water Inn, Daermon the Arcane Trickster told his new ally Urihorn Tenpenny of the party's plight. Daermon had stumbled into Barovia through the mists, while Urihorn, a halfling Beastmaster from Falkovnia, entered with purpose. He came hunting Strahd. Where Daermon was trapped, Urihorn was deliberate — a mist-walker with vengeance on his mind.Urihorn sought counsel from Rictavio, secretly the vampire hunter Van Richten. But the master hunter admitted ignorance of Vallaki's civics; his war is only against Strahd. It was Danika Martikov, innkeeper and wereraven, who spoke plainly: there would be no prison, only a mock trial and a noon execution.Urihorn defied curfew that night, climbing the palisade to summon his black panther. The beast bounded from the treeline, jaws carrying a human arm scavenged from some forgotten kill. Urihorn coaxed it free and guided the cat back into hiding. Even loyalty comes bloodied in Barovia.By morning, criers declared the charges: murder, mayhem, defiance of authority. The crowd assembled, silent and sullen. Daermon hid amid rubble from the Festival of the Blazing Sun. Urihorn perched on a rooftop, panther crouched. The prisoners were dragged forward, Radley blinded by an iron mask, Traxidor dulled by sedatives. Guards prodded them onto the stage. Wardens in black robes stood ready, amulets glowing.Lady Wachter thundered her speech, painting the outsiders as brigands worse than Vargas Vallakovich himself. The Reeve stepped forward with charges. He never finished. Arrows flew. Daermon's struck true, Urihorn's burst into a Hail of Thorns, ripping through guards. The Reeve toppled dead. Revenge at last for Sören Ironwood's fall.Chaos followed. Wardens conjured Spiritual Weapons, ghostly blades flashing. Necrotic bolts seared air. Wachter raised Sanctuary, wrapping herself in magic that turned attacks away. And then allies swooped down: Urwin and Danika Martikov revealed themselves as wereravens, striking guards while spears stabbed into their bodies.Radley fought blindly, headbutting a guard so hard his nose broke. The mask rang like a gong, but Radley fought on. Traxidor swayed, barely conscious. Daermon darted with blades, Urihorn fired arrow after arrow. His panther snarled below, leaping into fray. But Wachter's healing magic revived her men, and the tide turned. One warden faltered, then rose again at her touch.Radley fell. Daermon soon followed. For a moment, it seemed the execution would succeed despite the chaos. Then the Martikovs acted. Bleeding, feathers falling, they lifted the unconscious adventurers onto their shoulders, forced through spears, and hurled them into a wagon. Urwin cracked the reins, horse screaming, cart rattling out of the square. Urihorn leapt down from the roof, panther racing beside him, and followed the flight.Only Traxidor was left behind, sedated and bound, at the mercy of Lady Wachter.The wagon fled to a cellar in an abandoned house. Dannika hid the survivors beneath crates, explained that wereravens heal quickly, and urged Urihorn to keep still. Wachter's search parties would soon comb the streets. Then she shifted into raven form and vanished into the gray sky, leaving the heroes battered, half-rescued, half-defeated.The Reeve was dead. Radley and Daermon survived. Urihorn proved his worth. But Traxidor remained in enemy hands.This is Barovia's rhythm: victories poisoned, rescues incomplete, survival always at a cost.

Urihorn slipped out at night to fetch his panther companion. The beast bounded over Vallaki's palisade, jaws clutching a severed arm scavenged from some earlier raid. Urihorn coaxed it free and guided the cat back into hiding. Even loyalty carries blood in Barovia.By morning criers shouted charges: murder, mayhem, defiance of authority. Daermon hid among burned ruins, Urihorn scaled a rooftop with his panther. The prisoners arrived bound in a cart. Radley wore a heavy iron mask that blinded him. Traxidor slumped sedated, unable to resist. Guards prodded them onto the gallows, Wardens in black robes watched with glowing amulets.Lady Wachter gave her speech, painting them as brigands. The Reeve stepped forward to list charges. He never finished. Daermon's arrow struck, Urihorn's followed with a Hail of Thorns that burst into shrapnel, killing the Reeve outright and wounding his guards.The square erupted. Wardens conjured Spiritual Weapons, spectral blades that swung at rooftops, and hurled necrotic bolts. Lady Wachter raised Sanctuary, warding herself so none could land a strike. At that moment, allies arrived: Urwin and Danika Martikov, revealing their wereraven forms, swooping down to fight.Radley fought blindly, headbutting a guard with his iron mask, breaking bone. Traxidor swayed, drugged. Daermon struck from cover, Urihorn loosed arrows, the panther roared. But Wachter healed her wardens, reviving them. Slowly the adventurers faltered. Radley fell. Daermon followed.Then the Martikovs made their stand. Stabbed and bleeding, they hoisted the fallen heroes onto their shoulders, pushed through spears, and loaded them into a wagon. Urwin cracked the reins, driving hard through the streets. Urihorn leapt down, panther at his side, chasing until the wagon vanished into alleys.Only Traxidor was left behind in chains.The survivors were stashed in an abandoned cellar. Dannika, healing quickly from her wounds, whispered that search parties would soon comb the streets. She disguised the hatch with crates and baskets, then transformed into a raven and flew into the sky.The Reeve was dead. Radley and Daermon survived. Urihorn had proven himself. But Traxidor remained in Lady Wachter's grasp.This is the rhythm of Barovia: victory and loss, bound together. Every triumph is poisoned. Every survival incomplete.FAQ & GlossaryHeroesRadley: Human Eldritch Knight, fighter + spells.Daermon: Elf Arcane Trickster, rogue + illusions.Urihorn: Halfling Beastmaster Ranger with panther.Traxidor: Half-elf Cleric of Light, healer.Sören (fallen): Aasimar Paladin, executed earlier.EnemiesLady Wachter: Burgomistress of Vallaki, ally of Strahd.Reeve Ernst Larnak: her enforcer, slain by arrows.Wardens: black-robed clerics using necrotic magic.Spells HighlightedHail of Thorns: exploding arrow.Sanctuary: prevents attacks on the target.Spiritual Weapon: floating spectral blade.Inflict Wounds: necrotic strike.AlliesUrwin and Danika Martikov: wereravens, guardians of hope.

Reeve Swainston is a Marine, former US Attorney and a prosecutor who worked drug cartel cases during his career. Here is an article about one of his cases. He's on at 1:00 to discuss why cartels must be treated like terror organizations and I think he might be right. This happened last night apparently.

From wagon crashes to mob justice, Barovia trades one fallen paladin for a halfling with a grudge — and nothing is ever as simple as it seems.Barovia wastes nothing. Not even grief. Barely half an hour after Sören Ironwood, our radiant paladin, was executed by Vallaki's Reeve, the survivors were forced to stagger forward without him. Traxidor the Cleric, Radley the Eldritch Knight, and Daermon the Arcane Trickster retreated to the Blue Water Inn, once a lively place but now silent under Lady Wachter's curfew.They tried to distract themselves by debating Madam Eva's fortune-telling. The cards — the Tax Collector, the Bishop, the Executioner, the Mercenary, the Seer — dangled in memory, half-cryptic, half-ominous. Traxidor obsessed over the Amber Temple, Radley mocked fate, Daermon played catch-up. But amid their grief, Daermon had a rogue's realization: the Reeve's men were hauling Vallakovich possessions by wagon. Maybe the Abbot's wedding dress was already on one. Why storm another fortress when you could steal a cart?Daermon sprinted after a passing wagon, vaulted onto the tailgate, and wedged himself underneath. To panic the teamster, he cast Minor Illusion, conjuring the roar of a bear. The horses bolted. A spectral Mage Hand released the brake, and suddenly the cart careened through Vallaki's streets, bouncing furniture and paintings into the mud.For a few glorious seconds, the trick worked. Then Daermon miscalculated. He locked the wheels too hard, and the wagon jackknifed. Horses tumbled and broke bones. Daermon rolled out battered but intact. Amid the wreckage, lying improbably untouched, was Lady Vallakovich's wedding dress. He grabbed it and vanished before the townsfolk could swarm. A grim prize, bought with shattered animals.While Daermon played daredevil, another soul entered the stage: Urihorn Tenpenny, a halfling Beastmaster ranger from Falkovnia, accompanied by his loyal beast. Halflings are often underestimated — hobbit-sized, quick-footed, more grit than glory. Urihorn had no illusions about Barovia. He bribed his way through Vallaki's gates, ignored mockery, and walked into the Blue Water Inn.There he met Rictavio, the eccentric entertainer. Except Rictavio shimmered into his true form: Rudolf van Richten, the legendary vampire hunter. Van Richten warned Urihorn that Strahd was no ordinary vampire — he was bound to the land, necromancer and tyrant both, aided by beasts and Vistani alike. He handed Urihorn a potion of greater healing and one warning: avoid a band of adventurers suspected of serving Strahd. Of course, those adventurers were Radley, Traxidor, and Daermon. Fate laughs loudest in Barovia.While Daermon slinked back with the dress and Urihorn sized up new allies, Radley and Traxidor drew too much attention. Townsfolk spotted them and shouted: “Those are the strangers Lady Wachter wants!” A mob surged, guards in tow.This was not a duel against monsters but a nightmare of pitchforks and fists. Radley fought with steel and firebolts, Traxidor blasted Thunderwave to scatter attackers and poured healing magic to keep them standing. They even flung coins into the dirt as bribes. Nothing worked. Every guard cut down was replaced by half a dozen zealots. Numbers crushed them. The mob swarmed, bodies pressed in, and the two heroes were beaten into submission. Captured, trophies for Vallaki's new order.Back at the inn, Daermon and Urihorn shook hands, unaware their friends were already in chains.If Session Sixteen was gothic tragedy, Session Seventeen was chaos wrapped in cruelty. Daermon's runaway wagon gambit gave us comedy; the mob gave us horror. The party lost Sören but gained Urihorn. They recovered the wedding dress but lost Radley and Traxidor. They met Van Richten, but under suspicion of being Strahd's spies. In Barovia, victory is always poisoned.

Introduction: Welcome back! This week, we recount a grim session from our Barovia campaign, where "even divine wings rot into bone, and the only victories are measured by who escapes alive". Barovia, the "cursed valley" from Curse of Strahd, has "no patience for heroes," a truth cruelly reinforced in Vallaki (Vuh-LOK-kee), a city that "devours outsiders".Vallaki: A City Under Martial Law: Once Barovia's "only semi-safe haven," Vallaki is now under Lady Wachter, "Strahd's aristocratic sycophant," and her "bureaucrat-enforcer," the Reeve Ernst Larnak. It operates under "martial law" with guards, "wardens" in black robes wielding "necrotic magic," and ever-present alarm bells. These "Devil-worshipping enforcers" with "amulets of Asmodeus" cast "life-draining, soul-rotting spells".Our Trio:• Sören Ironwood: An Aasimar Paladin whose "angel wings rot into skeletal batwings" in Barovia, a "vampire's parody of heaven".• Radley Fullthorn: A "sardonic bruiser" Human Eldritch Knight.• Traxidor: A Half-elf Cleric of Light, the party's "healer and conscience".The Spark of Heresy: The party was in Vallaki to acquire a wedding dress for the Abbot's flesh-crafted bride, Vasilka. However, disaster struck when Sören "manifested his angelic wings" outside a manor. In Barovia, divine revelation "terrifies," and his "grotesque bone and bat-flesh" wings caused a secretary to scream "Heretic!," drawing guards. This is "classic Barovia storytelling": Sören's "greatest gift became his noose".The Fight and the Reeve's Execution: Combat inside the manor quickly became a "slow-motion disaster". The party was "worn down" by guards, wardens, and "spells of necrotic energy". Barovia "doesn't fight fair; it exhausts you, then punishes desperation".They finally confronted Reeve Ernst Larnak, a "cold professional" with a sword and "poisoned bolts," using cover and the threat of reinforcements. In a "bold mystic move," Sören used Misty Step—a short-range teleport spell—to enter the room, and "got a blade in the back for his trouble". The Reeve then delivered a "Coup de grâce. Execution." Sören, the paladin, was "cut down and finished off while his friends watched helplessly".Retreat and Ruin: Radley and Traxidor chose "the smarter, crueler thing: they fled," escaping to the Blue Water Inn. This act of survival left Sören's body behind, "claimed by Vallaki's wardens," his "celestial blood spilled". Barovia reduces heroes to "evidence bags in a tyrant's investigation".Why Did Sören Die? Sören's death wasn't from giving up, but from a convergence of factors:• Poor Tactics: The party "split the party" and "bottlenecked ourselves in a hallway".• Underestimation: They "underestimated how strong Vallaki's wardens were".• Reckless Move: Sören "misty-stepped into a closed room with no backup"—a spell "terrible if you teleport into danger".• Deadly Foe: The Reeve was "not just a bureaucrat" but a "deadly assassin" and "both administrator and assassin, backed by the whole machinery of Vallaki".Strahd's Shadow: Even absent, Strahd's "fingerprints were everywhere". Vallaki's collapse and the wardens are all "his order imposed on chaos". Sören's fall "becomes one more ghost in the valley," feeding Strahd's legend.Next Time: Will Radley and Traxidor recover from this loss? Will they dare to bargain for Sören's body, or will Strahd simply keep him as another pawn?

At long last, Jeff and Dave get around to talking about the great granddaddy of all Western philosophy: Socrates. In this episode, the guys lay the groundwork for a look at Socrates' defense speech, the Apology. What were the social and political factors that contributed to putting the pug-nosed wonder on trial? How did the reign of the 30 tyrants, and Plato's aristocratic background, as well as Socrates'connections to great men like Pericles influence the content of the speech? This episode also examines the role of the elenchus, Socrates' system of question-and-answer refutation, in the development of ethical and moral teaching in the 5th century. Tune in for the instruction, the laughs, and a chance to win your copy of C.D.C. Reeve's A Plato Reader, from Hackett.

Continuing our coverage of the 2025 Emmy Awards, Mike is joined by Peter Ettedgui and Ian Bonhôte, directors of "Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story" and nominees for Outstanding Directing For A Documentary/Nonfiction Program (the film received three other Emmy nominations as well ).  In sketching their portrait of Christopher Reeve, who embodied the superhero in a series of films beginning in 1978, Ettedgui and Bonhôte anchor their story with Reeve's tragic fall in 1995, one which left him paralyzed.  They then interweave the twinned stories of Reeve's rise to fame (as well as the discontents that followed) with that of the decade of his life that followed the fall.  The effect of this intricate narrative braiding reinforces the message delivered to Reeve by his wife Dana in the days after the fall:  “You are still you.”  The movie becomes a testament to the continuity of spirit in the face of physical challenge, as Reeve not only faces his personal demons, but becomes a full-throated advocate for those that share his condition.   Super/Man can be seen on HBO Max in the US and Sky in the UK.    Hidden Gems: “Apocalypse in the Tropics” “Grand Theft Hamlet”   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

James Gunn's Superman (2025) is in cinemas right now, and is really good! It has a wonderful central performance by David Corenswet, and is as colourful as it is hopeful, and we need that right now. As I'm off this week, it felt like a good time to revisit the late Christopher Reeve's iconic performances in Superman II, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, Superman III & Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.Technically the first ever quadruple-bill episode (if you also count the Richard Donner cut of Superman II, which we do), as voted for by Patrons of this podcast for, on the history and legacy of Superman II, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, Superman III & Superman IV: The Quest for Peace ! The sequels to the previous episode on SupermanSUPERMAN II was inevitable after Richard Donner completed 75% of the movie, filmed at the same time as Superman (1978). His work on the sequel was halted during Superman's production, but as Superman flew into the box office and became a critical and financial success, the sequel was fired up again... and Donner himself was unceremoniously fired from the movie by the Salkinds, and replaced with Richard Lester; a move that didn't go down well with the cast and crew...SUPERMAN II: THE RICHARD DONNER CUT came about due to the open secret of Richard Donner's material existing in a vault somewhere. After a few legal issues, notably with the estate of Marlon Brando for the production of Superman Returns, a new 2001 DVD version of Superman also led to the discovery of 6 tonnes of unused, previously lost material shot by Richard Donner for Superman II. In an unprecedented (at the time) fan campaign to see Donner's cut, it was finally released to acclaim in 2006...SUPERMAN III is less of a Superman movie, and more of a comedy vehicle for the late, great Richard Pryor, but that didn't mean it was easy to get made. A lot of people were still annoyed at the Salkinds for their treatment of Richard Donner, including Christopher Reeve himself. Reeve almost didn't return as the iconic character, but changed his mind and relished playing Superman vs Superman (which was also almost the title of the movie), but in retrospect it would be a movie he wouldn't have too much fun with, despite the slapstick tone...SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE would only be made after the Salkinds sold the rights to The Cannon Group; a production company known for making low quality movies en masse to make as much profit as possible. Cannon's plan though was big franchises: they bought Superman with the intent of spending $36 million on Superman IV. They were also making Masters of the Universe, the first big screen adventure for He-Man. But Masters of the Universe's financial woes would drastically affect Superman IV, with disastrous consequences for the Superman franchise, and leading to a 19-year wait for Superman to return...This episode was originally released on 16th November 2023Mentioned in this episode:From the ArchiveThere's no new episode this week, so I thought you might be interested in revisiting this slightly older, but no less brilliant episode. Just bear in mind, this episode is several years old, it may not sound quite as polished as newer episodes, and new information may have come to light in recent years with regards to the making of this movie (please see above for the original date of release) Please enjoy this time capsule of an episode.

Send us a textChristopher Reeve soars into cinema history in 1978's "Superman," a groundbreaking film that established the superhero blockbuster format we know today. Before Marvel, before Batman's dark reinvention, this was the movie that convinced audiences a man could truly fly.What makes this film so captivating decades later isn't just its place in history, but how it fearlessly embraces both cosmic scale and intimate humanity. From the crystalline landscapes of Krypton to the bustling newsroom of the Daily Planet, the film takes viewers on a journey that feels both alien and deeply familiar. Reeve's performance remains the gold standard for superhero portrayals - his ability to transform between the regal Man of Steel and the bumbling Clark Kent with nothing more than posture, voice, and confidence is a masterclass in acting that later Superman actors still measure themselves against.The film's vintage charm extends to its supporting cast and villainous plot. Margot Kidder's Lois Lane balances professional ambition with romantic vulnerability, while Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor occupies an underground lair beneath Grand Central Station that ranks among cinema's most memorable villain headquarters. The special effects, revolutionary for their time, might seem quaint today but still evoke wonder in their creativity and ambition. When Superman reverses Earth's rotation to turn back time - a moment of pure comic book logic - the film confidently embraces its fantastical nature rather than apologizing for it.Superman (1978) wasn't constrained by established superhero formulas because it was creating them. This freedom allowed for creative choices that modern superhero films might shy away from, yet they contribute to the film's enduring charm. Want to understand why superhero films dominate today's box office? Look no further than this pioneering classic that made us all believe a man could fly. Watch (or rewatch) it today and experience the birth of a genre that would eventually reshape cinema itself.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show

In today's episode, Charles Cousins is joined by Julie Mortimer, Director of Marketing at Mills & Reeve, for a practical deep dive into how to launch a CRM project successfully.

In this episode of SITREP, CannCon and Alpha Warrior are joined by special guest Reeve Swainston for a raw, detailed discussion on the collapse of American institutions and the global stage being set for high-stakes accountability. Reeve unpacks his own background and recent suspensions from Twitter for posting FOIA-verified evidence, highlighting how the regime suppresses truth while enabling war criminals and open-border chaos. The conversation exposes how U.S. taxpayer dollars are flowing to illegal immigrants, how mass migration is being used as a psychological weapon, and how both federal agencies and local governments are complicit. The trio also covers war crimes in Gaza, Ukraine, and Yemen, tying together human trafficking, medical corruption, and globalist goals for depopulation and control. With sharp insight and mounting evidence, the hosts argue we're witnessing a coordinated takedown of sovereign nations through lawfare, demoralization, and deception. But they also point to signs of awakening, within the public and the system itself. This episode is a wake-up call packed with receipts, exposing the real enemy and the lengths they'll go to in order to maintain the illusion.

Date: June 29, 2025Players: Sean D. (Sören Ironwood – Aasimar Paladin), Chris (Radley – Human Fighter), Carey (Traxidor – Half-Elf Cleric), Trip (Daermon Cobain – Half-Elf Rogue)Filed Under: Curse of Strahd, Gothic Horror, D&D RecapsTwelve days in Barovia and each dawn feels like dusk. At the Blue Water Inn, a messenger arrived with a letter sealed in wax — Strahd von Zarovich's invitation to dine at Castle Ravenloft. Radley, their sardonic Eldritch Knight, joked about wine with the Devil. Traxidor, cleric and conscience, argued no. Sören, the Aasimar Paladin, nearly growled at the thought of bowing to Strahd's civility. Daermon Cobain, rogue and blade, said little — his coin flicking through the shadows.They refused. There would be no supper with monsters — not yet.Morning brought nails hammering declarations into timber. Lady Fiona Wachter now called herself Burgomaster of Vallaki by the will of the mob that strung up the old Baron. Her orders stripped the last hope from the town: worship of the Morning Lord forbidden, a curfew enforced, all must bow to her Reeve. And every young woman? Inducted into her “Society of Vallaki's Maidens” — loyalty by marriage or worse.They walked the scorched town to the crackle of funeral pyres, then turned into Blinsky's Toys, where horrors wore porcelain smiles. Gadof Blinsky, a jester with a monkey named Piccolo, sang his eerie line: “Is no fun, is no Blinsky!” They found a doll identical to Ireena Kolyana — Strahd's stolen love. Blinsky confessed he made dozens for Izek Strazni, the Baron's monstrous enforcer, who always wanted more. The party left with the doll and an unease that clung like a damp shroud.At the looted manor, they found the Baron's son Victor's hidden attic lab. The door's Glyph of Warding nearly dropped Sören, but inside they found more grim trophies: animated cat skeletons, mannequins facing the wall, and a broken teleportation circle — an escape gone wrong. A dead end — yet the footprints in the scorch marks said someone had tried.Next, they dug up Miloj's grave and learned the bones of Saint Andral had been sold to Henrik van der Voort. At his coffin shop, they found the crates cracked open, dirt scattered — and Henrik himself, torn to ribbons, his entrails smeared across the walls and ceiling. They cut off his head like a butcher dressing a pig and took it as proof, though no bones remained.At dawn, they rode with the Martikovs' wine wagon to Krezk. Sören, ever devout but unhinged, flayed the flesh from Henrik's skull on the road. The Martikovs threatened to dump the barrels if the barbarity didn't stop — until three peasants begged for silver to fight werewolves. In moments, they revealed their fur and fangs. The Martikovs fled with the wine, yelling for the party to run. But the adventurers stood their ground: blades flashed, holy power sparked, and two beasts fell before the last vanished into the mists.Saint Andral's bones are lost. Lady Wachter rules in Strahd's name. The Count's invitation still waits on a table set for guests who haven't yet come. And the mists? They watch everything.Subscribe to follow every step deeper into Barovia's throat.

What do Nazis, fascists, incels, skinheads, misogynists, insurrectionists and Proud Boys all have in common? Many of them confide in reporter Elle Reeve.It was around 2015 and Reeve was reporting for Vice News about the rise of the “alt right,” a term coined by its leader, Richard Spencer. She spent time on internet message boards like 4chan and 8chan where far right activists communicated, trolled liberals, and began to coalesce as a movement. These were often ordinary people who increasingly embraced conspiracy theories and violence.This was during the presidency of Barack Obama, when many people were imagining that the U.S. was in the glow of a “post-racial” era. Reeve knew better. “Racism wasn't dying off with an older generation,” she told the Vermont Conversation. “There was a strong beating heart right there on the internet.”In 2017, Reeve was there when the alt right burst out of obscure Internet chat rooms and into public consciousness in a violent attack in Charlottesville, Virginia. Her documentary account, “Charlottesville: Race and Terror,” earned her and Vice News Tonight a Peabody Award, four Emmys and a George Polk Award.In 2019, Reeve became a correspondent for CNN, where she works today. She was at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 reporting on the attack on Congress by Trump supporters, many of whom she knew well.Why do they talk to her? “They want to tell their story, they want to confess, they want to unburden themselves,” she said.Reeve has a new book, “Black Pill: How I Witnessed the Darkest Corners of the Internet Come to Life, Poison Society, and Capture American Politics.” The title refers to how far right activists speak of taking the “black pill” of nihilism to justify their cruelty and violence. “It's this dark nihilism that the world is doomed. There's nothing you can do to change it, and you at best, can hope for it to collapse.”Reeve traces how far-right rhetoric has moved from the fringes to the mainstream, with Donald Trump and J.D. Vance channeling extremist ideas and language.Vance has denounced the “woke ideology” of “white women who are miserable about their own lives, enforcing codes about racial justice, gay rights on other people to make other people miserable, to account for how miserable they are in their own lives,” Reeve explained.Vance's use of the term “childless cat ladies” is another far right meme. “I've read that on 4chan six or seven years ago,” said Reeve. “It has trickled upward.”Another far right notion that is now embraced by mainstream Republicans is that diversity is bad. “They think that racial and ethnic and gender diversity makes us weaker. It makes us fools. This is just something that they ridiculed all the time.”Reeve explained the far right context of Trump's attacks on people of color. “If a white person commits a crime in their world, it's because they're a bad guy. But if a Black person commits a crime in their world, it's because they're Black.”Reeve warned that many people “are vulnerable to those ideas. I just interviewed a ton of people who were so nice to me at a Trump boat parade. They were so nice to me, and then they started talking to me about how it's not right to eat people's cats, and these people do animal sacrifice, and they're dirty and they bring disease.”“It's not all crazy people who believe this stuff. It's regular people and your neighbors,” said Reeve. “You have an obligation to push back against that, whether or not they'll listen to you.”Reeve said about the future, “There has been an escalating radicalization among the Republican elite and a softening among the voters… People speak freely about civil war. That is dangerous.”“I don't like it but I don't know where that balance ends up after the election. You can't do something like Jan. 6 without a feeling that there's an army behind you of supporters who will back you up.”

Against the backdrop of soaring stock prices and multi-million dollar executive packages, the labor movement is undergoing a resurgence. A Starbucks location in Buffalo, NY became the first within the coffee chain to unionize in 2021, and since then, more than 330 stores in 39 states have followed suit – with more elections underway. All the while, the Starbucks corporation was engaging in controversial labor-busting practices: the National Labor Relations Board found that Starbucks violated federal labor laws and a federal judge ruled that Starbucks engaged in “egregious and widespread misconduct.” Guest Gianna Reeve is an employee of the Camp Road Starbucks in the Buffalo area – and an organizer with Starbucks Workers United. Reeve joins Alec Baldwin to share her experience at one of the first stores to organize, the conditions that led to the unionization efforts, and what the Starbucks Workers United organization hopes for the future. Gianna Reeve is a featured participant in the upcoming documentary “The Baristas vs The Billionaire.” To learn more, visit: www.baristasvsbillionaire.com Originally aired June 27, 2023See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yes, we're talking about AI again because, let's be honest, it's everywhere, everyone is using it and most people are using it wrong. It's easy to feel like you're just throwing AI at problems without a real plan. That's why I was excited to talk to Melissa Reeve, an expert in agile marketing, about her TRISS framework—a simple way to decide where AI can make the biggest impact in your business. If you've ever caught yourself bouncing from one AI tool to another, hoping something sticks, Melissa calls that “random acts of AI.” And just like random acts of marketing, they rarely lead to success. Instead, the TRISS framework (Time, Repetition, Importance, Satisfaction, and Standardization) gives business owners a way to filter through the hype and focus on AI applications that actually save time and improve efficiency. Here are the key takeaways from our conversation: Time Matters – If a task doesn't take much time, it's probably not worth automating. But if something eats up hours of your week, AI might be the perfect solution. Before jumping in, do a quick cost-benefit analysis. Repetition is Key – AI works best for tasks you do over and over again. Think about activities like writing social media posts or summarizing documents. The more predictable the process, the better AI can handle it. Importance and Risk – Not every task is created equal. If something is high-stakes (like legal or financial summaries), you may want to keep AI in the background and add a human review step. But for low-risk tasks, AI can be a huge time-saver. Satisfaction Counts – We all have those tedious tasks we dread. If something drains your energy, it's a great candidate for automation. But if it's a task you love and excel at, AI might not add much value. Standardization Simplifies Everything – AI thrives on consistency. If your process follows a clear set of steps, it's easier to automate. The more standardized your workflow, the better AI can support your business. Melissa's advice is clear: AI isn't about jumping on the latest trend—it's about making smart choices that help you work more efficiently. If you start by evaluating your tasks with the TRUST framework, you'll avoid random acts of AI and focus on real improvements that free up time for what truly matters. Want to learn more?

Trolls have basically taken possession of the U.S. government. How have trolls been able to go from being mostly cordoned off in dark parts of the internet to gaining so much influence in American culture and politics? Our guest this week has spent years researching and reporting on-the-ground to learn more about how the battle online between the right and the left has moved into the real world. Elle Reeve is a correspondent at CNN and the author of “Black Pill: How I Witnessed the Darkest Corners of the Internet Come to Life, Poison Society, and Capture American Politics.” She joins WITHpod to discuss the politics of “black pilled” and “red pilled” young men, the ways in which online extremism so often translates into political violence and more.
