Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode we discussed Europe's growing push to limit children's access to social media and the internet. From age verification laws to proposed platform restrictions, we examine what's driving these policies, whether they can actually protect young people, and what they could mean for privacy, free expression, and the future of growing up online. As governments tighten digital safeguards, we ask a bigger question: where should the line be between protecting kids and preserving an open internet?Our Links:Retrospect

They celebrate Giulina's acceptance into a nature-based school (despite her dislike of getting dirty!) and discuss parenting in the digital age, including kids, Snapchat, social media, screen time, and why outdoor play matters more than ever.  Then, they're taking it back to the 2000s with Mya!

We conclude the Nicholson themed week with the Stephen King double feature of THE SHINING and DOCTOR SLEEP:   In both a re-edit and new portion, we were so fortunate to have all kinds of guests who summed up the various praise, themes and critiques in their OWN voice.   Due to Kubrick's internal thoughts and his external approach, were the fans always going to be in-fighting amongst themselves and Stephen King's fans?   What sets Kubrick apart from all the Lars Von Trier copycats?   David Lynch never shied away but why do we still not understand Kubrick's true intent?   And why are fans so bonkers with the whole "Wendy is actually crazy" theory?         GUESTS: Cliff Stevenson & A-aron Landerville (Predator Movie Minute, Gonzo Movie Minute), Karen & Joseph (Bonsai Movie Crew), Jenny Ambrose & Lucas Dickinson

After a break with family and a slower pace of life, Josh returns with some existential questions, one in particular that's been sitting heavy: Am I conforming to what everyone else around me is doing, or am I "appointing" my time well with the people who need me most? Drawing from Isaiah 43, Psalm 90, and Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, Josh walks through what it looks like to grieve the past well, release the assignments of old, and step fully into the season God has for your family right now. He further unpacks how sweetening retrospect—or nostalgically living in the past—can breed depression, how anxiety about the future keeps us from the present, and why the mundane drive-time moments are shaping the hearts of your children more than you realize. A practical, honest reset if you're catching yourself distracted or not as intentional as you wish you might be.  ** Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

In April 1834, a massive fire broke out at the mansion of Delphine LaLaurie on Royal Street in New Orleans French Quarter. LaLaurie was known to have kept several slaves as servants in the home, but when bystanders attempted to enter the house to rescue those trapped inside, they found the doors barred. After forcing the doors open and making their way inside the house, the rescuers were horrified to find the “horribly mutilated” bodies of at least seven of LaLaurie's slaves. Delphine LaLaurie was known to treat her servants very badly, including physically abusing them, but no one in New Orleans had imagined she was a sadistic murderer. After the discovery of the horrors in the LaLaurie mansion, Delphine LaLaurie fled New Orleans, fearing mob violence, and lived the rest of her life as an exile in Paris—but that is not the end of the story. Just a few decades after LaLaurie abandoned her home and fled the country, her story and those of the men, women, and children who suffered in her home worked their way into New Orleans folklore. Today, nearly two hundred years later, the LaLaurie mansion has become known as the most haunted house in New Orleans, and the legend of Delphine LaLaurie has lived on through television, film, and books about Mad Madame LaLaurie.  Buy Tickets to our LIVE SHOW at Radio City Music Hall on June 27th!
