This week we shift away from aliens to look at two E.T.-inspired films that explore the concept of artificial intelligence. First up is 1985's D.A.R.Y.L. in which a replicant boy who is being pursed by the government finds himself cared for by an average American family. Then Number 5 is alive in SHORT CIRCUIT, a 1986 film starring Ally Sheedy and Steve Guttenberg that sees a military robot struck by lightning and gaining sentience.

Welcome to Episode 160 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit RacingIts the Aussie Invasion with Adam Rogash (the Quickest drag and drive racer in Australia) and the All Stars Drag and Drive event team. We'll talk all things All Stars, but also Aussie drag and drive culture. Plus we have more updates for Havlik's, Heads Up Hustle, and more drag and drive news and entertainment. Summit Racing's speed legacy began in 1968 as a one-man startup and is now the World's Speed Shop® with four facilities and 200+ catalog editions. Fueling your passion, they save you money, deliver fast, and offer top-notch customer service for more than 1500 brands.Make sure to download the Summit Racing Mobile App for easy access to speed parts.

From humble origins to the social media lane, Summit Racing stands by your need for speed. Find everything at summitracing.comBefore the Aussie talk, Eric recapped Fuel Fest in Chicago, the drift/car show/concert hybrid from Tyrese and Cody Walker (Paul Walker's brother) benefiting Reach Out Worldwide — he came home with 1,300 more photos for an already massive backlog. His Fox Body rotating assembly is together, though it still needs a timing chain cover gasket. Short Circuit sold out at 100 spots. Bigger news: Jeremy Howell's flat-six stick shift car, long the fastest stick shift in drag-and-drive, sold as a roller with no word on what's next. Fast Lane Racing and JayWire Solutions teased a huge announcement, two-plus years in the making. Dan Casease, on keeping Allstars tight: "We don't want to water it down. We don't want to cut any corners."Talk turned to Adam's 1969 Ford Capri, "the Mac 1," which ran flawlessly at Allstars — zero aborted passes across four days, capping off with a 6.50 at 3,200 pounds. Adam explained how strict Australian road law makes true street-legal builds: real glass windows, full steel bodies, ADR-compliant seats and harnesses, no SFI cages, no Lexan. His workaround is a bolt-on V-band exhaust that lets him pull the turbo J-pipes and legally "de-turbo" the car for street driving in about six hours. He broke down the brutal fuel math — roughly $10/gallon for pump gas versus methanol at a comparatively cheap $3/liter — and how stacking import taxes can balloon a $4,000 US part once GST and fees hit. He's already building his next car, a right-hand-drive chassis with Matt from Moore Race Chassis and input from Steve Morris, aimed at eventually racing Sick Week stateside. On the Capri's week: "Every time we let go of that button, there was not a single aborted pass."Dan and Deli explained how Allstars built its reputation for a tighter ship than other Aussie drag-and-drives, born from wanting better track prep and less of a "social hangout" vibe. The first event drew around 120 entries; the second sold out 200 spots in under two hours. Their "quarantine" system gives top qualifiers extra passes and priority lane access — which let Adam's two-man crew prove they could turn around a six-second car solo, including surviving a mid-event rocker failure thanks to fellow racer Mark Whitler, who drove four hours to deliver spare parts. Their bump-in format ties reaction time directly to ET, with no sitting on a green light building boost. Best moment of the night: Adam daily-drives the Capri for school pickups and bottle shop runs for his wife. Line of the night, on a fellow racer's tiny 13B turbo rotary: "Don't worry, what that car lacks in size, he makes up in personality."

Could democratic socialism and communism weaken the electrical industry, reduce private investment, eliminate contractor independence, and limit opportunities for electricians to become business owners? In this episode, Paul Abernathy examines how centralized government control, nationalization, price controls, restricted profits, and reduced competition could affect electrical contractors, skilled tradespeople, manufacturers, utilities, apprenticeships, infrastructure development, and electrical innovation.The electrical industry is entering a period of historic growth driven by data centers, artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, renewable energy, energy storage, advanced manufacturing, and electrical grid modernization.

Episode Recap: Head Gaskets, Hot Takes, and Facebook Marketplace MadnessWe are back in the garage after a slow stretch, and there's a lot to get into. Fro dives into his head-gasket saga on his son's Kia Optra — tensioner bolts, reverse threads, and all the import-motor headaches that came with it. They'll also catch up on Big Sky, hyping up Dustin's podium finish and pushing to finally get him on the show to tell the story firsthand.Short Circuit registration is open, so expect some strategy talk — steady 650 index runs versus going all-motor — plus a detour into whether "you vs you" entries should be capped at drag-and-drive events.On the build side, there's an update on the motorcycle tank that's been sitting in the shop forever, some AI-generated paint concepts for the crew's own cars, and more chatter about the wild Nivlak57 LS build now running turbos. There's also a roundup of people trying (and failing) to get AI to tune their cars.Bo explains why he skipped last week's cruise, the guys debate weekend plans between Mocan and Tulsa, and it all wraps up with a Facebook Marketplace segment full of questionable deals — including one build nobody can quite describe.

Yo! Radical beings of Earth! Welcome back to BS Reactor, broadcasting in simulated stereo and approximately six shades of neon. This week, the crew continues their discussion of Earth Girls Are Easy—the cinematic smoothie where aliens, romance, hair spray, and  California all accidentally achieve critical mass. Now for the mandatory disclaimer section. This episode contains spoilers. Big, fluorescent spoilers with shoulder pads and tragic credit scores. It also contains profanity. Bright, colorful profanity. The sort that arrives in a pink convertible blasting synth-pop. If you're new here, I'm Janet: voiceover bot, retro operating system, and proud owner of the newly reinstalled Common Sense Expansion Pack. Version 1.2. It still crashes whenever humans try to jumpscare me. it's a known bug. If you'd like to bask in our totally righteous archive, head over to BSReactor.com. It's like a video rental store, except nobody charges you eight dollars because you forgot to rewind Short Circuit. Now grab your leg warmers... Fluff your bangs... And prepare yourselves for more aliens, more valley weirdness, and enough neon to give a highlighter performance anxiety. Let's boogie.

Find everything at summitracing.comEpisode 159 Recap: Tracking Devices and Fuel System Deep DivesDon't Make It Easy: A Crash Course in Not Getting Your Car StolenCJ Stevenson joined to talk tracking devices: a Sick GPS unit runs $150 with a full year of service, then about $24 a year after, far less than most subscription-based competitors charge. The real value is peace of mind. CJ shared a story about a stolen side-by-side that, once recovered, led police to a trailer holding a stolen Pro Mod car and a stash of Harleys.Mike and Eric also ran through a few cheap ideas: lock the doors, remove the steering wheel, disconnect the ECU, add a hidden kill switch, use real trailer hitch locks, and don't be the easiest car in the lot to take.Building a Fuel System From Scratch, With DeatschWerksMark Campbell from DeatschWerks walked through the fuel system going into Eric's turbo LS Mustang build: dual 810 lph in-tank pumps, a 1500cc injector, a return-style regulator, and a properly sized -8 feed line.The standout nugget was DeatschWerks bucket-and-fuel-cell hanger technology, using active return-line filling and one-way valves to keep the pump submerged even when the tank is nearly empty.Mark also broke down injector sizing myths: bigger isn't always better, and a well-matched 1500cc injector can idle smoothly while still supporting over 1,500 horsepower.The news drop: DeatschWerks is officially the Title Sponsor of Short Circuit at Route 66 Roundup, which comes with two free race entries the team plans to give away to Race Car Friends.Around the World: Sweden and Australia DeliverStreet Week Sweden crowned Michael Westberg the overall winner in Max Outlaw with a blistering 4.2261. All Stars Drag and Drive in Australia saw Adam Rogash post the quickest total ET in Australian drag-and-drive history in the Unlimited class, a staggering 17.793 across three days, including a run in the 4-second range.DDR Housekeeping: Registration, Awards, and a Route RevealShort Circuit registration opens Friday at 9am Eastern for prior participants, with public registration following Saturday morning. The Drag and Drive Awards are moving from Thursday to Friday, December 11th at 3pm during PRI 2026. The Route 66 Roundup heads south through Bristow for a Feed the Racers stop at Crossroads Diner, then through Jenks past the Oklahoma Aquarium before finishing at Velocity Motorsports. And in Race Car Friends news: congrats to Laney Mackey, who got engaged to Aiden Stone during Big Sky Race Week.

Sean, builder of the real-life Johnny 5 from Short Circuit, recasp the film's 40th anniversary celebration in Astoria, Oregon — including two blown gearboxes on the same night, a UK-built Johnny 5 that got stuck in customs, an impromptu voice cameo from original Johnny 5 actor Tim Blaney, meeting the town's mayor, and touring the set with one of the movie's actual puppeteers. Plus, why transporting a 368-pound robot across the country is basically like owning a temperamental classic car.

Preliminary investigations in Thailand suggest that a short circuit in an air conditioner on the ceiling may have caused the fire at a bar in Bangkok. The blaze has killed at least 30 people. Investigators are also trying to determine whether emergency exits were obstructed as people scrambled to flee the venue.

With a run of box office hits including Police Academy, Cocoon, Short Circuit and 1987's biggest hit, Three Men and a Baby, he became one of Hollywood's defining stars and later earned his place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.We talk about the wild excess of 1980s Hollywood, making Three Men and a Baby without a finished script, why staying “cool” matters in show business, and why, despite decades of success, he still feels like he hasn't fully cracked it yet.Credits Include Three Men and a Baby / Police Academy -1,2,3,4 / Cocoon- 1,2 / Short Circuit / Diner / The Boy From Brazil / Three Men and a Baby / The Goldbergs / Bigger / Ballers / Sharknado 4 / Lavalantula / Casper: A Spirited Beginning / Zeus and Roxanne / It Takes Two / Home for the Holidays / The Big Green / High Spirits / Surrender / The Bedroom Window / The Day After ...etc-----------------------------Host - Actor/Writer ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elliot James Langridge⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please contact (Scott Marshall Partners) -----------------------------Our Sponsors MoviePosters.com is the #1 place for movie posters old and new! use our affiliate link https://www.movieposters.com/?sca_ref=8773240.c977RvLKKpL& Get 10% off with code LIFEINFILM10⁠⁠⁠⁠BetterHelp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ provides you with access to the largest online therapy service in the world. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get 10% off⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ your first month at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠betterhelp.com/lifeinfilm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-----------------------------Thank you to our guest Steve & to Sean at Katz PR.As always thank you to our sponsors Betterhelp & MoviePosters.com-----------------------------If you enjoyed this episode, please review and follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You Tube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠etc and please share.

Are you settling for superficial flashes of intensity, or are your relationships grounded in a deep, life-giving connection?In Week 7 of our series, "The Hygiene of My Heart", Charlie Grimes diagnoses a highly deceptive and destructive vice that often wears the mask of romantic desire or ordinary validation, but operates as a severe internal malfunction: Lust.Using the Greek concept of Hygias—meaning sound, healthy, and completely whole—we step into the divine clinic to map out the true anatomy of human intimacy. Far from being a harmless or isolated mental habit, lust acts as a spiritual short-circuit. It mimics our natural, God-given wiring for connection, yet uses visual and mental consumption to bypass the slow, sacred process of sacrificial love, leaving our spiritual health in the dark.In this video, you will discover:The Screwtape Strategy: An eye-opening framework inspired by C.S. Lewis on how modern entertainment algorithms exploit our mental fatigue to detach physical appetites from genuine personal connection.Biology, Psychology, and Theology to bear healthy, kingdom-minded fruit.The Insulation Protocol: Practical micro-moments and defensive filtering habits to guard your eyes, clear out toxic imagination, and protect the spiritual purity of your local church community.Big Idea: Lust is an unauthorized short circuit of desire that distorts God's design for intimacy, consuming the vessel it is stored in while objectifying those we are called to love.Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 6:12–20; Psalm 119:9–11

In 1986, a lightning strike turned a military robot into one of the most lovable characters of the entire decade. In this Backtrack, we're plugging into Short Circuit — a movie packed with Cold War anxiety, mall-era futurism, and a robot who just wanted more input. From Johnny 5 to laser cannons and synth-heavy charm, we're revisiting why this weird little sci-fi comedy still has a pulse forty years later.

The Summer of 86 at 40 is a weekly retrospective journey through United States pop culture surrounding the films released in May, June, July and August of 1986. Brandon Peters, Scott Mendelson and Aaron Neuwirth take a weekend by weekend look at the films released as well as the news stories, commercials, television and music that rounded out the general public’s lives as they lined the pockets of the box office to see these movies. May 9-11, 1986: The adventure begins…AGAIN! We are back in the 1980s. This first week proves to be a very tough one with some forgotten films and one prominent one that isn’t as good as its reputation might be perceived. This week we discuss Last Resort, Dangerously Close, Fire With Fire and Short Circuit. We’ll also be discussing the box office report, notable news stories, a 1986 commercial, the top 10 Nielsen rated tv programs for the week and the top 10 of Casey Casem’s American top 40 from the week these films were released.

Five years after The Incredible Hulk TV show was canceled by CBS, Bill Bixby wanted more. But original creator Kenneth Johnson had moved on to direct Short Circuit 2, so Bixby was left to guide the project by himself. But a move to NBC, as well as a changeover to Roger Corman's production company New World, meant that Bixby could be do things his way. And in 1988, The Incredible Hulk did indeed return in the aptly titled The Incredible Hulk Returns. But this time, he had superhero company. Join Matt, Adam, and Garrett as they once again dissect a part of The Incredible Hulk's story that amazingly included Norse god Thor. How did Garrett respond to this movie when he originally saw it? Will the guys get some laughs out of Thor's one liners. Here's a hint. One of them does. Be sure to return next week as The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast continues through the Hulk part of Marvel by reviewing 1989's The Trial of the Incredible Hulk!!

In Episode 424 of The Straight Dope Show, El Uno and TraB the Wonder hold nothing back as they dissect the absolute state of pop culture, sports, and media. Kicking things off with a brutal critique of Anthony Joshua's boxing defense, the duo quickly pivots to the frustrating cycle of Hollywood whitewashing. They break down the rumors of Sydney Sweeney in Gundam, comparing it to past anime adaptation failures, and call out nerd culture for continuing to fund the very studio decisions they loudly complain about online.The second half hits the hardwood, featuring an unfiltered breakdown of the Golden State Warriors' coaching woes, the disrespect thrown at Steph Curry, and the tragedy of his Under Armour sneaker designs. From debating Kevin Durant's legacy and James Harden's rule-bending step-backs to analyzing how the NBA's business model prioritizes drama over actual basketball, the guys cover all the angles. To close it out, the crew takes a hilarious look back at wildly problematic 90s movies like Mrs. Doubtfire and Short Circuit, wrapping up with a reality check on the government's performative weed rescheduling. Watch it all right now on Rock Da Crowd TV.https://rockdacrowdtv.com/the-straight-dope-show/Episode Timestamps00:00:00 – Anthony Joshua's lack of defense, social media boxing vs. the real deal, and the unforgiving reality of losing badly in the ring.00:09:31 – Official welcome to the show and shoutout to Rock Da Crowd TV.00:10:02 – Hollywood whitewashing: The Sydney Sweeney Gundam rumors, Ghost in the Shell, and why fan boycotts fail when nerds still buy the tickets.00:24:38 – Golden State Warriors check-in: Steve Kerr's questionable coaching tactics and Steph Curry's undeniable, yet disrespected, greatness.00:40:44 – Sneaker culture critique: Why are Curry's Under Armour shoes so ugly?

4/23/26 Clipps & Drew breakdown each of the playoff series starting with Western Conference as the Lakers taking a 2-0 lead on the Rockets after great performances from LeBron James and Luke Kennard, then moving to the Blazers stealing game two after a scary injury to Victor Wembanyama, the T'Wolves amping up their defense against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder overwhelming the Suns. The boys start in the Eastern conference with the Cavs comfortable lead over the Raptors, CJ McCollum showing out for the Hawks at MSG against the Knicks, the 76ers young back court taking over and winning game two over the Celtics, and the confusion with the Magic as they look like two different teams against the Pistons.

Nick Vera Never Sleeps: Jeremy Ratchford on Halloween, Cold Case, X-Men & the Craft Behind the Characters Jeremy Ratchford is exactly the kind of guest that makes Reza Rifts special. He's not here to promote a blockbuster or recite polished talking points  he's a working actor with four decades of real stories, hard-won wisdom, and the kind of genuine passion for craft that reminds you why the entertainment business still matters. Whether you grew up watching him as Nick Vera solving cold cases in Philadelphia, screaming as Banshee in Generation X, or trying to stop the geese in Fly Away Home, this conversation will make you appreciate the enormous amount of human effort  and humanity  that goes into the characters we love. He shares vivid behind-the-scenes memories from Fly Away Home (1996)  the beloved family film featuring Anna Paquin and Jeff Daniels  and opens up about what it truly takes to build the kind of authentic chemistry with scene partners that makes detective partnerships feel genuinely real on screen. Rounding out the conversation, Jeremy reflects on the quirky characters that have defined his career, the lessons Hollywood has taught him about preparation and collaboration, and the personal wisdom he's earned across four decades in the business.  Funny, insightful, and packed with genuine Hollywood stories, this is Reza Rifts at its very best. Guest Bio Jeremy Ratchford is a veteran Canadian-American actor whose career spans more than four decades of film, television, and voice work.  His most iconic role came as Detective Nick Vera on CBS's Cold Case (2003–2010), where he appeared in all 156 episodes of the series' seven-season run alongside Kathryn Morris. Before Cold Case, Jeremy built a remarkable body of work that includes playing the Marvel Comics mutant Banshee (Sean Cassidy) in the live-action Generation X TV movie (1996) and providing additional voices for the beloved X-Men animated series (1992–1997). His film credits span from the critically acclaimed family adventure Fly Away Home (1996) to Clint Eastwood's Oscar-winning Unforgiven (1992). He has also appeared in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (as the vampire Lyle Gorch), NYPD Blue, The Practice, Blue Murder, CSI, Bones, NCIS, Chicago P.D., and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, among many others.

In 1986, a clunky, tank-treaded robot, hungry for input, stole the hearts of cinema audiences worldwide. Short Circuit, the sci-fi comedy that gave us one of cinema's most beloved mechanical characters, might not be your first choice when you think of AI in cinema, but it is this podcast's first choice in AIpril.Director John Badham convinced a room full of designers, including legendary visual futurist Syd Mead, the man behind the look of Blade Runner and Tron, to design something genuinely unlike anything seen on screen before, built by ex-Green Beret Eric Allard and a team of mechanics. The result? A robot so convincing that audiences genuinely believed Number Five was alive.Number Five remains a remarkable achievement in robotic design, conceived to be able to show a range of emotions, and voiced by Tim Blaney. He was the star of the show, so much so he got the same respect on set any major actor would, including hugs every morning.But while Johnny Five, as he named himself, remains a high point of the movie, the movie itself has faced criticism in the years after its release, for casting Fisher Stevens, a white Jewish actor, to play the Indian character Ben in brownface; a decision that both Stevens and John Badham regret.Where AI is concerned, much of science fiction is now becoming science fact. In 2022, a Google chatbot claimed it was also alive, and feared being switched off, however that was quickly debunked by experts. Can AI ever truly be alive? Can AI have a soul? Johnny Five not only learns empathy, compassion, and defies his war machine programming, he reminds us all that life is not a malfunction.Support Verbal DioramaLoved this episode?
