Bradley talks to Oliver Libby — venture investor, civic reform advocate, and co-founder of The Resolution Project — about his new book Strong Floor, No Ceiling: Building a New Foundation for the American Dream. They dig into Libby's “radical moderation” framework: the idea that America can rebuild its civic culture by pairing a rock-solid baseline of opportunity and support with an unapologetic embrace of ambition, innovation, and upward mobility. If we get to write our own future, says the self-described sci-fi nerd, it ought be pretty easy to choose between a dystopia where giant companies quietly set the rules and a society like Star Trek, where "people don't really talk about money and everyone has enough and people get to do really cool stuff."This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City's only free podcast recording studio.Send us an email with your thoughts on today's episode: info@firewall.media.Be sure to watch Bradley's new TED Talk on Mobile Voting at https://go.ted.com/bradleytusk.Subscribe to Bradley's weekly newsletter and follow Bradley on Linkedin + Substack + YouTube.

The lack of time to tell stories is painfully evident in "The Examples". A plot about prisoner rights and society that would feel right at home in about any "Trek" series has to be squeezed down until it loses all nuance all so it can share space with a new science person who is like all the awfulness of early Stamets with none of the later Stamets charm. Because no better time to run an experiment that there's really no big rush on than during a crisis! Also this week: potatoes, Frozen, and scientists!

Tim and Frank map the split between things you use and things you just display. Physical media and toys that invite play vs digital files and NFTs that create fake scarcity. Collecting has shifted.

LEGO scale display pieces vs sets made to be handled. The difference between collecting for personal joy and buying for resale.

Who would be so foolish as to mention Jean-Luc Godard and Ed Wood in the same sentence? Well, we just did--and Richard Linklater drew a (perhaps unintentional) parallel between the two polar-opposite filmmakers in his latest movie, Nouvelle Vague!On today's IndieSeen, Ian and Sujewa welcome back Jeff York to review one of the year's very best films: a breezy, loving, fictionalized look at the filming of Godard's groundbreaking French crime/romance, Breathless. Guillaume Marbeck stars as a young Godard, who is the last of his clique of film critic colleagues to try his hand at actually making a movie.He recruits Algerian soldier-turned-actor Jean-Paul Belmondo (Aubry Dullin) and up-and-coming American acting sensation Jean Seberg (Zoey Deutch) to star as doomed lovers on the run. During his frantic 20-day shoot, Godard must dodge a nervous producer, a suspicious cast and crew, and a complete lack of filming permits in order to finish a work that would help redefine his beloved medium (jump-cuts, anyone?).In this spoilerific love letter to Nouvelle Vague (which translates to "French Wave"), the guys look at how Linklater (Dazed and Confused, the Before Trilogy) captures a time, place, and, most importantly, burgeoning creative spirit. They also stray far afield into a debate about the effectiveness of title portraits--and whether or not they derail this movie!Whether you're a devoted cineaste and fan of the French Wave--or if you think "Jean-Luc Godard" was that bald guy from Star Trek, Nouvelle Vague is an open invitation to explore colorful characters, a passion for filmmaking, and the calling to do something creative--no matter how much (or how little) time, talent, and experience one has. Kinda like Ed Wood!Nouvelle Vague is now streaming exclusively on Netflix!Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon, subscribe to us on YouTube, and follow us at:XLetterboxdInstagramFacebookShow LinksWatch the Nouvelle Vague (2025) trailer.Keep up with Jeff York's criticism and caricatures at The Establishing Shot and Pipeline Artists.Flashback to Ian and Sujewa's review of Breathless!Support Sujewa's new film project, 53 Spaceships, the latest adventure of Cosmic Disco Detective Rene!Watch Sujewa's latest film, Cosmic Disco Detective Rene for free on YouTube!

Few actors can claim a career as rich and varied as F. Murray Abraham. From his classical theater roots to his unforgettable Oscar-winning turn as Salieri in Amadeus, from Tony-nominated Broadway performances to his recent scene-stealing work in The White Lotus, Homeland, and Star Trek: Discovery—Abraham has mastered the art of reinvention without ever compromising his craft. In this intimate conversation, the 85-year-old legend opens up about the highs and lows of a six-decade journey through American entertainment. He reveals why winning an Academy Award didn’t guarantee stardom, how he’s chosen challenging roles over commercial success, and what it means to still be delivering career-best performances in his ninth decade—including his current starring role in the new Broadway production of The Queen of Versailles. Abraham discusses what drew him back to live theater at this stage of his career and the unique electricity of performing before an audience eight times a week. He shares insights from working with the Coen Brothers on Inside Llewyn Davis, reflects on his rigorous classical training, and explains the discipline required to sustain a working actor’s life across film, television, and stage. He offers behind-the-scenes stories from iconic productions spanning Amadeus to The Grand Budapest Hotel, discusses the art of playing complex villains and antiheroes, and provides hard-won wisdom about longevity, artistry, and staying relevant across generations. Whether you’re an aspiring actor, a film buff, or simply a fan of great storytelling, this episode offers a masterclass in dedication, versatility, and the power of choosing substance over flash. F. Murray Abraham proves that the best careers aren’t built overnight—they’re crafted one brilliant performance at a time.

This week on the podcast, someone's stolen Billy Zane — because we're watching the Uchū Sentai Kyuranger episode "Space.2: Let's Go! Phantom Thief BN Team!"

In the 1993 Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Interface," Geordi La Forge uses experimental technology to remotely explore a stranded starship and is confronted by a deeply personal mystery. Was the image of his mother real, or something else entirely? This week, returning guest Dr. David Williams joins Larry to explore the real-world science behind this episode. Using a vintage press summary as our entry point, they discuss how TNG anticipated advances in virtual interfaces and robotics: technologies that now drive space exploration through probes, planetary rovers, and immersive control systems. From the Voyager missions to Mars rovers and the growing role of augmented reality in mission planning, Star Trek's tech continues to align with our scientific future. Along the way, Dave and Larry reflect on the emotional themes of "Interface," and how fiction about space helps us prepare for its most human dimensions.

I have all this old footage from some video games, so why don't we write an entire script around video games and try to incorporate those into some new footage that we can shoot, and then we can pretend like we meant for it to be crappy all along! Then.. we can put one of the kind of known people from one of the video games on the cover and give them top billing! BRILLIANT!

In this Whiskey Rocks Whiskey Nerd Takeover, Joel and Chris welcome back Blair Ault from Milam & Greene for a deep dive into a special release, The Answer. What starts as a behind-the-scenes breakdown of blending philosophy, flavor decisions, and how this bottle came to life quickly turns into a full-on whiskey masterclass when Master Distiller Marlene Holmes drops in unexpectedly.But that's only half the story. Somewhere along the way, the conversation takes a hard left turn into the wonderfully strange. We're talking Star Trek debates, music tangents, movie villains, and a few moments that have absolutely nothing to do with whiskey—but somehow make perfect sense in the moment. It's the kind of detour that only happens when the drinks are poured, the mics are on, and everyone's having too much fun to steer the ship straight.This episode delivers real insight for anyone who loves whiskey, studies whiskey, or just wants to hang out with two of the sharpest minds in the industry. It's nerdy, it's unpredictable, and it might be the most enjoyable chaos we've had on the show. Buckle up.To follow us, find us on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram @thewhiskeyrockspodcastWhiskey rocks, sip hard!

David Mack: Ring of Fire. With fewer Star Trek series currently on TV, it's the novels that keep us boldly going. These stories bridge the gaps between episodes and explore what happens when the cameras aren't rolling — deepening our connection to the characters and giving us new adventures to imagine. It's an exciting time to see how writers expand the universe we know and love. In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Casey Pettitt and Jonathan Koan chat with author David Mack about his Strange New Worlds novel, Ring of Fire.
