IN THIS EPISODE: A painter accepts an invitation to a remote cottage beside an ancient forest — but the deeper he ventures into the woods, the more he realizes something within them has been waiting for him. It's a classic tale from Algernon Blackwood entitled “Ancient Lights”. *** After a 17th-century landowner testifies against a suspected witch, generations of his family begin dying in the same bedroom — and something nesting in the ancient ash tree outside the window may be responsible. It's “The Ash-Tree” by M.R. James *** A traveling salesman follows a hand-painted sign to a remote farm advertising a "spider petting zoo" — but the old man running it has been breeding something that no terrarium could ever contain. It's “Elsworth's Famous Spider Petting Zoo” by Peter de Niverville.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:45.285 = Ellsworth's Famous Spider Petting Zoo, by Peter de Niverville00:27:18.294 = Ancient Lights (Trespassers Will Be Persecuted), by Algernon Blackwood ***00:43:49.286 = The Ash-Tree, by M.R.

Mike takes Jake and Holden through the whirlwind history and screwy destruction of Spider-man's marriage, the real life wedding they staged to promote it, and Paul.

Now it's merritt's turn aboard the International Space Station, so Niki and John are once again tasked with carrying the entire podcast on their shoulders.

From rainy-window cinephiles to chaos gremlins who just want to argue about Spider from Avatar, the 2026 Analysis Awards (aka “The ANALS”) are back — broadcast coast-to-coast from Chicago to Los Angeles with your deeply unqualified hosts Matt and Bob. It's the award show built for the people: our personal favorites across BOTH movies and TV, with help from a rotating panel of “pundits” (friends of the pod with dangerously strong opinions). Categories range from the legit (Best Actor/Actress, Cinematography, Writing) to the unhinged (Most Batshit Crazy Character — the Willem Dafoe Award; Worst Performance in an Otherwise Good Movie — the “Brendan Fraser Get Him Outta Here” Award). Hit play for the only awards show brave enough to honor prestige, popcorn, and pure derailment — and stick around, because the Oscar pod is up next.
We're sending out this Patreon-exclusive episode from back in September to the main feed. Mac and David share their final thoughts about the movies covered in episodes 85 through 96, read from a very dramatic Spider-man 2 script, answer listener questions, and preview some future episodes.
Computers not computing, random Steven King notes, and Spider-man shenanigans. A usual start to a usual episode! This week Matt talks World War crimes, Meghan gets real about brothels, and Zachary once again wonders if bank robbery is a good idea until he tells his story. So stick 'em up, put your headphones in, and come with us to ask.. what the f**k history? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What if being seen feels hard because your nervous system doesn't feel safe yet? In this episode, I sit down with "Spider" Meka Hemmons to explore why visibility can feel tense or overwhelming for so many women, and how that shows up far beyond the camera. We talk about creating calm before being seen, not by fixing how you look, but by shifting how you feel in your body. Meka shares how old messaging, cultural pressure, and constant stimulation shape self-image, and why regulation must come before confidence if real change is going to stick. This conversation is about feeling safe, grounded, and calm in a chaotic world, so you can show up without forcing or performing. ☑️ Why "not being photogenic" is a story, not a truth ☑️ How nervous system regulation changes self-image and confidence ☑️ What it really takes to feel safe being seen Spider also shares details about her new program, Calm Before the Camera, and how these practices support self-trust, presence, and inner calm well beyond photos. If being visible has ever felt heavy, tense, or draining, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. Subscribe, listen in, and give yourself permission to create calm first.

Blending psychology, language, and visual storytelling, she's spent over two decades helping professionals and creatives reclaim confidence and presence. She's the creator of Calm Before the Camera, a guided course designed to reduce anxiety, shift self-perception, and help people show up as themselves—on camera and in life.

We start this one the only way we know how: Pete quits his job (casually), we open a bottle of potentially corked wine (possibly poisonous), and then—somehow—end up reviewing Avatar 3, despite half the room not even watching Avatar 2.Pete's approach is simple: he's not here to defend or attack Avatar. He's here to report back from the front lines of three hours and ten minutes of James Cameron doing what James Cameron does.The setup (in plain English)You've got:Jungle people (from Avatar 1)Sea people (Avatar 2)Now: Fire people (Avatar 3)The grief and revenge angle ramps up after the events of the second film, and the new “fire clan” are positioned as more brutal, more pagan, and basically built to escalate the conflict. The humans (the “sky people”) are still doing what humans do: exploiting the planet, weaponising alliances, and trying to crack the next big advantage.What we actually talk aboutSkipping straight to film three: why it's weirdly possible, because these films run on a repeating template.Spider and the “air-breather” idea: a human kid embedded with the Na'vi, and the implications if humans can reverse-engineer breathing on Pandora.The fire clan: their volcanic backstory, their vibe shift from the earlier tribes, and the “new enemy faction” energy.The villain problem: how characters keep “dying” in ways that clearly don't stick, setting up sequels forever.The big third-act battle: yet another massive end set-piece, but with a new environmental twist that feels… very convenient.The core contradiction: the storytelling is bloated and recycled, but the spectacle is undeniable.The verdictPete's take lands here: these films are ridiculous, repetitive, and absolutely stunning to look at. As cinema experiences, they're hard to argue with visually. As stories, they're basically a shiny loop — but a shiny loop that keeps making a billion dollars.If you want to hear us:unravel the plot without pretending it's deep,argue about whether Avatar has any cultural footprint at all,and admit (through gritted teeth) that Cameron's visuals are still operating on a different level……this episode is for you.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

An Air Force captain, George Burk, boards a plane bound for a base in Washington State. It's a Monday morning like any other. Or at least, it should be.

Avatar is the number one box office king of the world and yet it leaves no real cultural footprint despite being hella pretty to look at. You don't see cosplays, there aren't memorable quotes (unless angry hissing counts) and there's an almost naked boy named Spider that they reeeeeallly want to be a thing. Jake, flying in on a dragon connected to a braid in his hair flies in to defend the franchise, why these movies are important, why they're successful, and how there's a deeper meaning. Mike's the detractor here because of how long and boring he thinks they are, and Holden, much like Spider, is somewhere in the middle trying to figure out where he belongs.Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

Swollen, heavy, or restless legs aren't always just part of aging. In many cases, they're signs of underlying vein disease that can be diagnosed and treated.In this episode, we explain how swelling, varicose veins, and skin discoloration are connected to circulation—and why catching vein disease early can make treatment easier and recovery smoother.We cover the full spectrum, from spider veins and visible varicose veins to advanced venous insufficiency and ulcers, and how modern, non-surgical treatments can help patients feel and function better.We also discuss why vein disease can be harder to spot in people of color and why ultrasound evaluations are key to identifying issues that aren't visible on the skin.If you're experiencing heaviness, swelling, discoloration, or restless legs, it may be time to consider vein disease as the cause.Timestamps: 00:00 - Swollen or tired legs are not “just aging” 00:24 - Early signs: heaviness, swelling, restless legs 00:53 - Spider veins vs. varicose veins: when to worry 01:18 - Venous insufficiency and progressing vein disease 01:40 - From swelling to skin discoloration and ulcers 02:06 - Vein disease in people of color (without visible veins) 02:35 - Why an ultrasound is key to diagnosing vein problems 03:10 - Treatment for mild vein disease: office-based, non-surgical 03:42 - Treating advanced swelling and discoloration 04:01 - Caring for venous ulcers and preventing recurrence 04:24 - What improves (and what may not) after treatment 04:55 - Why early treatment protects long-term leg health 05:32 - When to see a vein specialist and what to askLearn More: https://www.alluremedical.com/Books & Research: https://www.alluremedical.com/books/Follow Dr. Charles Mok & Allure Medical: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-mok-4a0432114/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alluremedicals/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AllureMedical TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alluremedicalAmazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Charles-Mok/author/B0791M9FZQInner Circle Membership: https://www.alluremedic#insidethecure

In this episode, Johnny sits down with Luis “Spider” Gutierrez, a longtime Northern California gang figure and former leader within the Norteño structure, to tell one of the most intense and unfiltered prison stories ever shared on the podcast. Raised in Salinas, California—one of the most gang-impacted cities in the state—Spider was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to decades in California's most violent Level IV prison yards. What followed was nearly 20 years of nonstop war behind the walls: mass riots, stabbings, political power struggles, and surviving situations most inmates don't live to talk about. Spider breaks down: -What it's really like to enter prison already marked for war -How Northern California gang politics actually function on the yards -100-man riots, organized violence, and surviving multiple gunshot wounds -The reality of loyalty, reputation, and respect inside high-security prisons -Why he never dropped out—and how he eventually made it home alive This is not a glamorized story. It's raw, graphic, and brutally honest—told by someone who lived every second of it and is still dealing with the aftermath today. Go Support Spider!

Send us a textA planet that might be a god. A villain slowly becoming the land he conquered. A family pushed to the edge until love looks like a knife. Fire and Ash gives us the biggest canvas yet for Pandora, and we dig into why the scale only works because the feelings keep pace.We compare notes on the craft that makes this one a true event: underwater performance capture, variable frame rate used as a storytelling tool, and 3D calibrated for immersion instead of gimmicks. The whale matriarchs' resonance, the wind traders' drifting caravans, the medusoids floating like living lanterns—these sequences don't just look good, they feel engineered for IMAX, where detail and depth turn scenes into experiences. We also admit where the tech stumbles; those 48-to-24 frame drops can jar, even as the overall presentation reduces eye strain and keeps action crisp.Then we get into the meat. Quaritch evolves from boot-stomping colonel to ash-painted initiate, torn between capturing Jake Sully and protecting Spider. Neytiri steals the spotlight with a confession that calls out her own prejudice, leading to a searing “I see you” that lands harder than most finales. We unpack the Abraham-and-Isaac echo in Jake's most brutal choice, and why it reframes leadership, faith, and family under pressure. On the lore side, we wrestle with the mycelium network, Kiri's origin as Grace's clone, and the possibility that Eywa is both biological and divine. Whether you read it as neural ecology or planetary spirit, the outcome is the same: Pandora looks back.We close with a plea to experience this one in theaters if you can. Avatar is built for the big room—the sound, the depth, the scale all feed the story. Watch, feel, and then tell us: which moment stayed in your bones?
