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.

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.

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.

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?

In this episode of the show we are changing gears slightly as we embark on a month-long journey through a selection of 80s science-fiction comedies. And we begin with the 1986 Short Circuit. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about how Short Circuit owes its existence to E.T. and a little bit to Wargames, whether Number 5 is a likable hybrid of E.T. and R2D2 and how the film's "omnibus comedy" (a term brilliantly coined by Randy on the show) impacts on the experience of watching it. We also leave a few comments about Ally Sheedy's character's living arrangements with a host of animals, Steve Guttenberg's attempt at playing it straight and the absolutely incomprehensible choice of asking Fisher Stevens to play a Short Round-esque sidekick in brownface.

This week Corporal, Sarcastro, Fatty and Banky get together to talk about options for the service staff for the POoRCHoices compound including a pitch for trained chimps and emperor penguins which get scrapped in favor of Fatty's dream of having a three-quarters scale Johnny Five from Short Circuit and a full size Jinx from Sapce Camp as part of the service crew. They also discuss movies and shows they've been watching including the 2025 released The Toxic Avenger; One Battle After Another; The Life of Chuck; The Last Frontier; Fallout; and The Running Man (2025). This also leads into a quick conversation of trying to watch a show with others in your household and how they tend to "cheat" on the other viewers by watching ahead. Guys weekend is starting to look promising for having running water at the cabin and plenty of cleared out snow to be able to park and do things outside. Fatty confirms he has the karaoke set up ready to go and Corporal gets probation on sharing a room with Sarcastro provided he gets a CPAP. Rounding it out they come up with an idea for their new John Wick style movie or show using the mascots from the fast food chains throughout the Untited States. Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar)

Send us a textEpisode 250 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, we look back at a movie that has definitely fallen off the radar in the last decade or so....I wonder why? Yes, the decision to have the very white and Jewish, Fisher Steven play the very brown and Indian, Ben, feels completely out of touch by moderns standards....but also, is Fisher Stevens actually kinda good as Ben? Is Steve Guttenberg arguably more miscast as the 'supposed' genius, Newton Crosby? And what of Ally Sheedy's, well, remarkable performance as the animal loving, Stephanie Speck? Needless to say, love it or hate it, 1986's, Short Circuit is nothing if not interesting. Listen in via your podcast platform of choice to see what we made of it.

Ben and Rob plug into the charming chaos of Short Circuit (1986), the beloved sci-fi comedy about a military robot who accidentally gains self-awareness and discovers the joys and dangers of being alive. Starring Ally Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg, Fisher Stevens and the unforgettable Johnny Five, Short Circuit follows a runaway robot as he escapes government capture and learns about humanity through pop culture, friendship and an endless appetite for input.Why has Short Circuit endured as one of the most lovable robot movies of the 1980s; how does the film balance slapstick comedy with surprisingly sincere questions about consciousness and personhood; and what is it about Johnny Five that made him such an instantly iconic screen character? How do Ally Sheedy's warm performance and Steve Guttenberg's affable energy ground a story filled with laser guns and pratfalls; what does the film get right, and very wrong, about technology and cultural representation; and how does Fisher Stevens' performance fit into the conversation around Hollywood's past casting choices? And finally, what does Short Circuit ultimately say about life, learning and empathy?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS!

Released in 1986, Short Circuit is a sci-fi comedy that perfectly captures the charm, optimism, and eccentricity of 1980s cinema. When a military robot known as Number 5 is struck by lightning, it unexpectedly gains self-awareness and escapes into the real world. As it begins to learn about life, humanity, and pop culture, it forms a bond with animal-loving Stephanie Speck and clashes with the military forces determined to shut it down.Blending slapstick comedy, heartfelt moments, and Cold War–era tech paranoia, Short Circuit asks a surprisingly deep question for an '80s family film: What does it truly mean to be alive? With quotable lines, iconic robot design, and a breakout character in Johnny 5, the movie became a cable-TV staple and cult favorite.If you are new to the podcast then please consider following us on the platform that you love, we can be found most anywhere that you listen to your favorite podcasts.

It seems he's told stories like this before to get attention. So, now, he realizes he either proves that he saw Babe Ruth or his parents will make him buy dress oxfords instead of baseball shoes with his hard-earned money from his newspaper delivery business and the town will always think of him as a liar.About the author Don is the founder and owner of Olympus Films+, LLC, a global writing, filmmaking and consulting company, in business since 1993.

In this lively episode of GeekFreaks Podcast, Frank and the gang dig deep into the latest pop culture chatter. We cover the lively debate over which fictional characters would thrive on social media, break down the intense new trailer for One Piece season two, and share candid thoughts on the Highlander reboot casting news. Squeaks and Jonathan pitch their dream remakes and sequels, from Short Circuit to Back to the Future. We also talk about DC's rumored “henchman” movie—and pitch our own cheeky DC headlines. Lastly, the crew celebrates the return of space opera epics and welcomes Distance Nerd's Jen, Liam, and Graveyard for a spirited interview on fandom culture. Timestamps & Topics 00:00:00 – 00:03:00 – Introduction and “Fictional Characters on Social Media” debate: Star‑Lord, Joker, Riddler, and Flash. 00:03:00 – 00:06:00 – One Piece season two trailer reaction: multiple arcs, what to expect from Reverse Mountain and Alabasta, and Chopper's introduction. 00:06:00 – 00:08:00 – Does anime need to stick to the manga? Filler episodes versus character moments. 00:08:00 – 00:11:30 – News: Dave Bautista cast in the Highlander reboot—why the debate around his physique doesn't matter. 00:11:30 – 00:15:00 – What remakes do we actually want? Ideas range from Short Circuit's AI twist to a refreshed Back to the Future. 00:15:00 – 00:20:00 – Squeaks' ultimate pitch: E.T. returns—and he's connected to the Star Wars Senate cameo? 00:20:00 – 00:27:00 – DC rumors: Zach Cregger's “Henchman” script, who could carry a story about the accidental capture of Batman, and why Elseworlds stories are fun. 00:27:00 – 00:38:00 – Main Discussion: The renaissance of space operas. From Dune and Avatar to upcoming Star Wars projects and the importance of spectacle, practical effects vs. CGI, and why grand storytelling is back. 00:38:00 – 00:49:00 – “Geek Culture and Community” interview with Distance Nerd's Jen, Graveyard, and Liam: building an online fan community, favorite sci‑fi properties, and how their live podcast style resonates with listeners. 00:49:00 – 01:09:00 – More pop culture news and games: Marvel's Green Lantern theory, fake DC news challenge, and the crew's comedic speculations on Mr. Freeze, Clayface, and Ryan Reynolds' ultimate crossover. 01:09:00 – end – Wrap‑up: Episode highlights, network updates, content from other podcasts, and personal recommendations—how King of the Hill's return hits the right notes, why Dope Thief on Apple TV is a sleeper hit, and more. Key Takeaways Fictional characters on TikTok? The gang imagines Star‑Lord taking selfies across galaxies, the Riddler fostering a cult following, and Flash zipping around doing livestreams from inside STAR Labs. One Piece season two will be jam‑packed. Squeaks notes the show will likely fold multiple arcs into one season, meaning nonstop action and beloved characters like Chopper and Nico Robin. Remakes done right: While the crew is wary of endless reboots, they'd love to see Short Circuit reimagined with modern AI themes or a thoughtful sequel to E.T. set in today's world. DC's “henchman” movie intrigues. Zach Cregger's script idea follows a low‑level villain who accidentally knocks out Batman and then wrestles with what to do—worth exploring as an Elseworlds story, especially if it digs into Gotham's underclass. Space operas are back. Thanks to Dune, Avatar, and upcoming Star Wars films, the spectacle‑heavy genre is enjoying a resurgence. The team loves the blend of practical effects and CGI when done well, but they emphasize the need for strong characters and meaningful themes. Geek culture lives online. Jen, Liam, and Graveyard from Distance Nerd share how they've cultivated a welcoming space for fans and why live, improvisational podcasting keeps the energy high. Fun with fake news. The hosts plan to prank DC fans with tongue‑in‑cheek rumors—like Batman stealing Green Lantern's ring or Mr. Freeze battling Clayface—just to poke fun at internet speculation. Personal recs: King of the Hill's revival hits all the right notes, Dope Thief on Apple TV delivers gripping crime drama, and Apple TV quietly produces award‑worthy content. Memorable Quotes “Thriving on social media doesn't mean everybody loves you—it just means you have a huge following.” – Frank “Star‑Lord with different aliens, different species, fighting and selfies in strange worlds? Yes, please!” – Squeaks “Sometimes the monsters show us what it means to be human.” – Frank on beloved AI and sci‑fi themes “Practical effects still matter; CGI needs to be done beautifully—think Dune's sandworms or Avatar's Pandora.” – Squeaks “We're casual, we're opinionated, and we're fans of fans. That's what Distance Nerd stands for.” – Jen Call to Action Love what you hear? Help us continue bringing you thoughtful geek discussions every week!
