On this episode of Pilot Season Cartoon Edition, hosts Kinte, Renee, Jen, John, and Allen break down the pilot episode of Family Guy (1999), “Death Has a Shadow,” which originally aired on January 31, 1999. In this opening episode, Peter Griffin loses his job after an incident at the toy factory and soon finds himself in trouble when he receives an unexpectedly large welfare check. Instead of quietly fixing the mistake, Peter goes on a wild spending spree that throws the Griffin family into chaos. Along the way, the episode introduces Lois, Meg, Chris, Stewie, and Brian, setting the tone for the show's mix of offbeat family comedy, cutaway gags, and outrageous humor that would make Family Guy a major force in adult animation.

Dá um certo alívio saber que não é só nós, no Trek Brasilis, que estamos cansados de ter de derrubar rumores idiotas propagados por pessoas com interesses os mais diversos — todos ruins. Ninguém menos que William Shatner, 95, também está nessa vibe, depois que inventaram que ele supostamente estaria assumindo o comando de Star Trek na Paramount e teria feito exigências sobre o cancelamento de Starfleet Academy. O eterno James T. Kirk, que já havia manifestado seu lamento sobre o encerramento precoce da série, volta à carga em suas redes sociais para refutar as loucuras que circulam no submundo da internet. Para aqueles de vocês caçando o último “furo” do YouTube & Tiktok sobre mim e uma reunião secreta com a Paramount/CBS sobre Star Trek ou Starfleet Academy… favor fazerem um favor a si mesmos e revisitarem meu velho conselho do SNL: vão cuidar da vida. Uma reunião assim nunca aconteceu. Não que eu saiba, não na realidade e certamente não neste planeta. O que é real é uma indústria caseira de ficção fantasiada como histórias reais engendrada por IA para cliques, visualizações e lucro. Muitos de vocês estão mordendo a isca. O que me desaponta não é o nonsense; é a vontade de acreditar, e a hostilidade que produz num fandom que foi construído sobre algo muito melhor. Se você não gosta de alguma coisa, não assista. Gaste seu tempo com o que você aprecia. Essa sempre foi a melhor escolha. Tudo de bom, Bill Nós naturalmente nos juntamos ao coro, Bill. Estamos há pelo menos dez anos ouvindo histórias e refutando boatos sobre demissões de Alex Kurtzman (para ser substituído por Seth Macfarlane, agora William Shatner, e sabe-se lá mais quem já entrou nessa lista delirante na última década) e cancelamentos de séries (disseram que Discovery seria engavetada no primeiro ano, depois no segundo, depois em todos os subsequentes; mais recentemente ouvimos que Starfleet Academy seria convertido em telefilme, que engavetariam as temporadas produzidas etc.), tudo por um simples motivo: geram cliques daqueles ávidos para que a realidade seja como eles gostariam que fosse, em vez de ser como é. Aqui no Trek Brasilis, nosso foco sempre foi e sempre será no que de fato acontece. Evidentemente não sabemos de tudo. Descobrimos coisas novas sobre Star Trek todos os dias e temos acesso a uma ínfima parte de tudo que é discutido e realizado nas empresas que controlam a franquia. Mas reportamos apenas aquilo que é suportado por fatos verificáveis e não deixamos delírios tomarem conta da redação. Não à toa, nosso histórico tem sido de enorme fidelidade ao que, ao fim de tudo, se mostra real. Todos esses cancelamentos, esses boatos infundados… se você leu algo sobre isso aqui, foi para refutar. A propósito, não é verdade que United, nova série com Jonathan Archer como presidente da Federação, esteja com sinal verde dentro do estúdio. Até adoraríamos que fosse, e o criador Mike Sussman segue esperançoso de que a ideia possa ser encampada futuramente, mas ainda não aconteceu. (E não é preciso mais que três neurônios para calcular que dificilmente a Paramount desejaria fazer uma série política de Star Trek enquanto tenta aprovar com o mercurial governo americano sua fusão com a Warner.) Sempre confira com que frequência seu influenciador ou veículo de mídia favorito erra antes de confiar cegamente nas declarações que ele dá. Quanto a nós, continuaremos fazendo o nosso trabalho, reportando com admiração e respeito sobre o passado, o presente e o futuro da nossa franquia de entretenimento favorita, os bons momentos e os maus momentos — e agora com ainda mais gratidão por Bill Shatner, para usar o alcance poderoso de sua voz para dizer o que precisava ser dito. BÔNUS: Bill Shatner em seu esquete do SNL, com o “get a life” que ele agora recomenda aos boateiros Salvador Nogueira e Gustavo Gobbi comentaram sobre William Shatner e essa conversa está disponível no nosso canal do YouTube (abaixo) e no formato podcast. [redes] O post William Shatner refuta maluquices da internet e sugere a boateiros que cuidem da própria vida apareceu primeiro em Trek Brasilis.

DOES TED HAVE A SOUL??? Ted 2 Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   TED (2012) Movie Reaction:    • TED (2012) MOVIE REACTION –WE DIDN'T EXPEC...   Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 After catching up with the original film, Greg, John, & Jon are BACK for more raunchy madness as they give their Ted 2 Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, Commentary, & Spoiler Review!! Greg Alba, John Humphrey, & Jon Maturan react to Ted 2 (2015), the outrageous comedy sequel written and directed by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, A Million Ways to Die in the West). Picking up years after the original film, Ted 2 doubles down on absurd humor while surprisingly shifting into a satirical courtroom drama about civil rights, identity, and what it truly means to be a “person.” The story follows Ted (voiced by Seth MacFarlane – Family Guy, American Dad!) after he marries his longtime girlfriend Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth – Ted, The Haunting of Molly Hartley), only to face a legal crisis when he's ruled property rather than a person and stripped of his basic rights. His best friend John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg – The Departed, Lone Survivor) steps in to help, alongside young lawyer Samantha Leslie Jackson (Amanda Seyfried – Mamma Mia!, Les Misérables), whose pop-culture obsession becomes central to Ted's legal defense. The film is packed with hilarious & infamous moments, including the Comic-Con courtroom showdown, Ted's brutal roast of John's maturity, the wild fertility subplot, and the over-the-top climax involving corporate villain Donny (Giovanni Ribisi – Avatar, Saving Private Ryan). With celebrity cameos, no-holds-barred jokes, and a surprisingly earnest emotional core, Ted 2 leans into both satire and shock value in ways that set it apart from the original. While more divisive than its predecessor, Ted 2 remains a bold sequel that blends raunchy comedy with social commentary, proving Seth MacFarlane's talking teddy bear still has plenty to say—loudly.

There's a whole big world out there that isn't about politics and Bill and his guests—from Bill Burr and Jerry Seinfeld to Jordan Peterson, Quentin Tarantino and Neil DeGrasse Tyson—talk about all of it.  For advertising opportunities please email: PodcastPartnerships@Studio71us.com ABOUT BILL MAHER Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last fourteen years on HBO's “Real Time,” Maher's combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 40 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher's uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.” Maher has written five bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect's Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” and most recently, “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass.” FOLLOW CLUB RANDOM https://www.clubrandom.com https://www.facebook.com/Club-Random-101776489118185 https://twitter.com/clubrandom_ https://www.instagram.com/clubrandompodcast https://www.tiktok.com/@clubrandompodcast FOLLOW BILL MAHER https://www.billmaher.com https://twitter.com/billmaher https://www.instagram.com/billmaher Learn more about your ad choices.

Six segments. Four legendary movie podcasters. Three and a half hours of keeping David Sims away from his family. Welcome to our Ballad of Buster Scruggs episode! How Did This Get Made's Paul Scheer and Jason Mantzoukas join the Two Friends to talk about the Coens' final film together (as of this recording), a grab bag of western vignettes that could have been titled “A Million Ways to Die in the West” if Seth MacFarlane hadn't already claimed it. We're picking our favorite segments, chatting about the “wild west” of Netflix projects back when Scruggs was greenlit, and ranking the Coens' filmography before we cover their solo directorial efforts. Oh, and Jason has a few bones to pick with Griffin and David about a certain section of the True Grit episode.

Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, Ted, American Dad!) is a man of many voices. For more than 25 years, he's voiced Peter and Stewie Griffin, Brian the dog, and their neighbour Quagmire on “Family Guy,” the adult animated sitcom he created back in 1999. But when Seth's not recording a character for TV and film, he's recording music. Now, the five-time Grammy-nominated vocalist is back with his ninth album, "Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements.” Seth joins Tom Power to talk about finding a treasure trove of unrecorded Sinatra songs, learning how to sing like Sinatra, and how he feels about the situation between Jimmy Kimmel and the FCC.Fill out our listener survey here.

0:00:00–0:15:00 — Live intro, celeb 9/11 near-miss chatter, and a “haunted” vending machine We kick off live and riff on the lore that Mark Wahlberg and Seth MacFarlane “conveniently” didn't get on a 9/11 flight — “lucky guys,” then: “let's get this dooming going.” First Video of the Day: the “haunted vending machine” dispensing retro sodas (Texas Red, New Coke, Russian Pepsi), unlabeled buttons that all read “mystery,” and a 2018 disappearance with a note: “went for a walk.” 0:15:00–0:30:00 — Wheel drama, pepper-spray role-play, and “Einstein's wife” The wheel gives us zero points and we riff on the scoring. Sam runs a pepper-spray mugging role-play: “If I'm a robber… let's role play.” Hot take detour: “Einstein's wife wrote everything,” plus more headline-surfing. 0:30:00–0:45:00 — Eden as a “human zoo,” geoengineering clip, and Pinocchio as programming We chew on a theory that Gan/Paradeisos (Eden) was a controlled enclosure — a literal fenced compound. A geoengineering quick-hit claims nano-aluminum exposure — and the chat starts buzzing. Then a wild breakdown of Pinocchio as an esoteric “conditioning manual.” 0:45:00–1:00:00 — Quantum eraser brain-melt and the Max Headroom hijack The delayed-choice quantum eraser: change the which-path info after detection and you flip the pattern — “it knows the future.” Caller segment: the 1987 Chicago Max Headroom TV hijack — pirate transmitters, radio-school lore, and a mysterious “Zapruder frequency” email. Theory time: it may've piggybacked a Cold-War emergency visual channel. 1:00:00–1:15:00 — Reincarnation receipts and what it does to a kid We retell the “Soul Survivor” case: Natoma Bay, pilot James M. Houston Jr., and the book that followed. Then we sit with the human side — night terrors and the idea we “keep doing it over until we get it right.” 1:15:00–1:30:00 — Skinwalker doom-camping to close Final clip: a guy taunts a Skinwalker, hears cries outside his tent, and… goes deeper into the cursed forest (of course). He stumbles on eerie figurines and crosses hanging from trees; the dread spikes.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Dana Gould joins Adam in the studio! Adam praises Dana for being one of the few comics beloved across the board before diving into his legendary career writing for The Simpsons and Seth MacFarlane's Ted. Dana reflects on his love for writing, the different career paths he could have taken, and how the “hero's journey” became the template for nearly every Hollywood movie. The two share their admiration for Albert Brooks and the classic film Defending Your Life, reminisce about old favorites like Smokey and the Bandit, and even discuss the sad sight of abandoned buildings scattered across the desert on the drive to Vegas. Dana also discusses his conscious decision to be extra polite in traffic and the reasons behind it. Later, Adam explains why he regularly blows through red left-turn arrows, makes the case for why the laws around them are ridiculous, and tells the story of running a red on PCH right next to a fire truck full of firefighters. That sparks a bigger conversation about people's inverted relationships with rules and authority, as Adam and Dana break down how modern culture often treats common sense like a liability. Along the way, they explore how shifts in comedy, film, and everyday life reflect broader changes in society, giving the episode a mix of humor, nostalgia, and sharp social commentary.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH DANA GOULD: SHOW: Hanging With Doctor Z - Live in person and live streamed - LOS ANGELES - Dynasty Typewriter - September 7thWEBSITE: DanaGould.comPODCAST: The Dana Gould HourINSTAGRAM: @danagouldSPECIAL: Perfectly Normal - on YouTubeThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineHomeChef.com/ADAMhomes.comoreillyauto.com/ADAMRosettastone.com/ADAMPluto.tvThriveMarket.com/ACSLIVE SHOWS: August 29 - Provo, UTAugust 31 - Torrance, CASeptember 6 - Charlotte, NCSeptember 12-13 - El Paso, TX (4 Shows)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
