My guest today is Jamie Metzl—a former national security official, biotech futurist, and one of the earliest public voices to argue that Covid likely came from a lab accident. We talk about why that possibility became taboo; what gain-of-function research gets wrong; and how fear and politics distort scientific judgment. From there, we move into the future of gene editing, embryo selection, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and artificial intelligence (AI)—what's actually coming, what people misunderstand, and why the hardest questions ahead of us aren't likely technical, but moral. https://jamiemetzl.com/human-genetic-engineering-and-the-catholic-church/ Learn more about your ad choices.

From the earliest days of rocketry, progress has always belonged to the scientist willing to think beyond the limits of their time. Long before rockets reached orbit, pioneers like Robert H. Goddard laid the mathematical and experimental foundations that proved spaceflight was even possible. And not long after, figures like Jack Parsons helped turn theory into raw, explosive reality—building the propulsion systems that would eventually carry humanity beyond Earth. Today, we stand at a similar inflection point. Chemical rockets took us to the Moon, but if humanity is going to reach the stars, we'll need ideas that once again sound impossible—until they aren't. In this episode, we're exploring one of the most fantastic frontiers in modern physics: warp drive theory. Our guest is Harold "Sonny" White, a mechanical and aerospace engineer, and applied physicist an Founder & CEO, Casimir. Join us as we get rebelliously curious.

Modern society is more fragile than most people realize.What happens when modern systems fail?In this episode, Drew Miller, author of Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse, joins us to examine the real vulnerabilities facing society—from fragile power grids and cascading infrastructure failures to existential biological threats and continuity-of-government planning that most civilians never hear about.Drawing on decades of military and strategic planning experience, Miller breaks down what “collapse” actually means, how close modern societies may already be to systemic failure, and—most importantly—what individuals and communities can do right now to build resilience and prepare for what comes next.This conversation touches on societal collapse, infrastructure failure, grid vulnerability, continuity of government, emergency preparedness, resilience planning, and survival strategy in an age of uncertainty.Topics discussed include:– 30 ways the government is trying to kill us all. - Power grid vulnerabilities and cascading failures– Biological and existential threat scenarios– Continuity of government and emergency planning– Individual and community preparedness– What “collapse” really means—and what it doesn'tWhat do you think is the most fragile system in modern society?Share your thoughts in the comments.Watch the full video interview with Col.

Science fiction isn't one-size-fits-all.Some readers love big ideas and long-term strategy.Others want emotional depth, character-driven stories, or fast, cinematic action.And here's the thing: your personality plays a huge role in the kind of sci-fi you love.In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, I'm matching science fiction reading recommendations to common Myers-Briggs personality types. Using the same framework as our fantasy episode, I take 10 of the most common personality types and pair each one with two sci-fi series that align with how those readers tend to think, feel, and engage with speculative ideas.Whether you're a systems thinker, a people-first reader, a big-picture strategist, or someone who just wants sci-fi that moves, there's something here that fits you.

What do you do when following orders means sacrificing innocent lives? In this episode, we examine the new Peacock series The Copenhagen Test starring Simu Liu, exploring the ethical dilemmas facing modern intelligence operatives. Through a spy thriller that uses biometric surveillance technology as its MacGuffin, we unpack questions about collateral damage, revenge versus ideology, and whether spy agencies can ever justify their methods.Questions We DiscussedWhat is the Copenhagen test and why does the show use it as its title? We explore this impossible moral dilemma presented to special operations soldiers and intelligence agents, examining whether there are situations where no ethical choice exists.Does the show take a stance on whether US spy agencies are justified? We analyze how the series sidesteps ideological questions by making its villains motivated by money and personal revenge rather than competing political philosophies.How does the show handle collateral damage in intelligence operations? We examine powerful scenes showing the emotional aftermath of missions, particularly through the character Parker who witnesses the deadly consequences of her recommendations.Can spy fiction avoid taking political positions in today's climate? We discuss whether it's possible—or desirable—for a show to focus solely on questioning the means while deferring judgment about the ends.Is this show continuing or subverting recent trends in spy media? We trace how spy fiction has evolved from pro-agency to more skeptical portrayals, and where The Copenhagen Test fits in that trajectory.Additional TopicsThe effectiveness of Simu Liu as an action hero leading manHow the show's diverse casting enhances the storyThe show's use of near-future surveillance technology as a storytelling deviceWhether the "Russian nesting doll" villain structure sets up compelling future seasonsComparisons to The Bourne Identity, Burn Notice, and other spy thriller influences**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Welcome to another episode of the Geek Freaks Podcast! In this session, hosts Frank and Jonathan dive deep into the psychology of fictional resistance, analyze the gritty evolution of a fan-favorite Sith, and discuss why the upcoming He-Man movie is embracing its vibrant roots. Episode Summary Are we living in an Empire? Frank and Jonathan kick off the show by questioning our fascination with fictional rebellions. From the underground movements in The Handmaid's Tale and Star Trek to the reality-shattering resistance of The Matrix, we break down which groups actually stand a chance. We also provide a full reaction to the Maul: Shadow Lord trailer, exploring Dave Filoni's darker shift in Star Wars animation. Finally, we look at the meta-fantasy world of the new Masters of the Universe film and share our latest HBO watchlist recommendations including Hacks and The Pit. Timestamps and Topics 00:00:00 – Intro, Question of the Week: Rebels in fiction we cheer for . 00:04:23 – Quick real-life check-in and keeping it together through a stressful news cycle . 00:05:08 – Star Wars: Maul: Shadow Lord trailer reaction and what the POV shift could mean . 00:11:13 – Masters of the Universe trailer talk, Jared Leto as Skeletor, tone, and first impressions . 00:16:29 – God of War series update: Cast talk, what fans should expect, and where the show could land. 00:22:05 – Fable showcase reaction: Humor, vibe, and why this reboot could work. 00:26:48 – Marvel's Wonder Man spotlight: Who he is, why he matters, and what the show might be going for. 00:39:58 – Release-week plan for Wonder Man and quick network updates. 00:42:48 – Weekly recommendations: Starfleet Academy, Hacks, and The Pit. 00:45:06 – Wrap-up. Key Takeaways Effective Rebellion: Jonathan argues that "The Dawn" from The Handmaid's Tale is a superior rebel group due to their infiltration tactics, whereas the Maquis were too easily dismantled. The Maul Evolution: The upcoming Shadow Lord series aims for a darker, "Rated R" feel, focusing on Maul's pursuit of freedom through the criminal underworld rather than the Jedi/Sith binary. Critique of the Jedi: The hosts discuss how the Jedi Order often pursued "control" under the guise of "balance," making Maul's perspective more relatable to some viewers. Embracing the Vibrant: Unlike many "dark and gritty" reboots, the new Masters of the Universe is leaning into the colorful, fun, and meta aspects of the original 80s property. Memorable Quotes "When did we vote for the Empire? Why did we end up this way?" – Frank "The Dawn... they are so well embedded. They're very sneaky." – Jonathan "The Jedi Order is not perfect either... the balance they were pursuing was not balance. It was control." – Jonathan "Justice comes at the tip of a lightsaber." – Frank Call to Action If you enjoyed this deep dive, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform!

The SuperHero Homies! Podcast is back with a deep dive into one of the most beloved topics in pop culture: the best twists and reveals in fiction. We start the episode with a cold open discussing Batman: Brave & the Bold, sharing our concerns about the upcoming DC movie. We break down Andy Muschietti's involvement as director following The Flash (2023), Christina Hodson's role as lead writer, and what their track records could mean for the future of Batman in the DCU. We also touch on Kathleen Kennedy's repositioning at Lucasfilm and what that could signal for Star Wars moving forward. For the main discussion, we explore our favorite plot twists and shocking reveals across movies, TV shows, comic books, and video games, analyzing why they worked and why they still resonate with fans today. From M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable, to Darth Vader's iconic reveal to Luke Skywalker, to Omni-Man's jaw-dropping betrayal in Invincible, we celebrate the moments that redefined their stories and genres. We also break down what makes a great twist or reveal, including setup, character motivation, and payoff, while calling out examples of bad twists that felt unearned, confusing, or purely for shock value. If you're a fan of superhero stories, comic book discussions, MCU and DC debates, Star Wars, pop culture analysis, and spoiler-filled breakdowns, this episode is for you.
Send us a textWe again celebrate Giallo January, with a pair of gialli from 1972. A very restrained Lucio Fulci directorial effort brings us a series of child murders in a small Italian town, where superstition leads to distrust in Don't Torture a Duckling (1972). Our second featured giallo might have you asking, "Who the hell is Solange?" You will find out, eventually, if you can stomach seeing the graphic aftermath of a series of murders involving students from a girls' school in What Have You Done to Solange? (1972).
Modern society is more fragile than most people realize.What happens when modern systems fail?In this episode, Drew Miller, author of Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse, joins us to examine the real vulnerabilities facing society—from fragile power grids and cascading infrastructure failures to existential biological threats and continuity-of-government planning that most civilians never hear about.Drawing on decades of military and strategic planning experience, Miller breaks down what “collapse” actually means, how close modern societies may already be to systemic failure, and—most importantly—what individuals and communities can do right now to build resilience and prepare for what comes next.This conversation touches on societal collapse, infrastructure failure, grid vulnerability, continuity of government, emergency preparedness, resilience planning, and survival strategy in an age of uncertainty.Topics discussed include:– 30 ways the government is trying to kill us all. - Power grid vulnerabilities and cascading failures– Biological and existential threat scenarios– Continuity of government and emergency planning– Individual and community preparedness– What “collapse” really means—and what it doesn'tWhat do you think is the most fragile system in modern society?Share your thoughts in the comments.Watch the full video interview with Col.
