SEASON 4 EPISODE 66: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: It's literally a disaster of BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS. Some of Trump’s Troops are being told that it isn't 'war with Iran' - it's a war to start a Biblical Armageddon: “Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to earth” says one whistle-blower NCO about his commanding officer. You heard it: a non-zero number of Trump Commanders aren't just fighting an illegal, ill-prepared, ill-fated war against an Iran that posed no realistic threat. To them it's a literal Holy War, start the apocalypse, end times, and then they all get raptured. More than 200 reports of such religious insanity, to a group called MRFF (Military Religious Freedom Foundation) and reported by one of my former MSNBC Coordinating Producers, Jonathan Larsen. MRRF is pushing back against us doing the whole Book of Revelations Crusades thing - and the newest development: the religious nuts in the military are holding emergency bible classes for those who may be deployed. Maybe not Apocalypse Now but Apocalypse SOON. The religious nut jobs are in charge, Hegseth may be in on the delusion, and so: no sign of bad luck in Rapture. B-Block (35:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The right wing allegation that MAGA Twitter twerp "Gunther Eagleman" only retweets if you pay him; Markwayne Mullin mistakes the smell of plumbing for the smell of war and keeps referring to "President Hegseth", and Weijia Jiang, CBS News reporter and president of the White House Correspondents Association. She and they not only actually insulted every journalist ever by inviting Trump to the Correspondents' Dinner - but he accepted and thinks he's getting an award. Trump is a man who has literally tried to get reporters killed for a decade, and they're going to sit in the same room with him. I guess because Goebbels is dead and is unavailable. I don't usually say 'I really went off on these idiots' but - I really went off on these WHCA idiots. C-Block (50:00) THURBER'S VERSION OF THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: His magazine-length version of his only non-fiction book, "The Years With Ross" about the founding of "The New Yorker" magazine (and its legendary, almost mythical founder, Harold Ross). It is as hysterical - and sometimes nearly as impossible to believe - as the best of his fiction.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Con Edoardo Saccone parliamo de "Il Dottor Stranamore" (Dr Strangelove) una satira grottesca sulla Guerra Fredda e sul terrore nucleare dove un generale americano, colto da paranoia anticomunista, scatena un attacco atomico contro l'Unione Sovietica mentre politici e militari tentano goffamente di evitare l'apocalisse. Con umorismo nero e personaggi memorabili, Kubrick smaschera l'assurdità del potere, della guerra e della razionalità militare.

Love… Relationships… Marriage… God's design for these things has always been radical. Some might even call it “strange.” In a world that's consumed by what's new and what's next, these teachings from scripture get overlooked. But what if God's design is the key to unlocking what God wants for you in a relationship? In a marriage? What if God's radical design is what makes love not only rewarding but remarkable.

How did Stanley Kubrick turn nuclear annihilation into a comedy? John, Matt, and Westy get into the Cold War satire that somehow made mutually assured destruction hilarious. We're talking Peter Sellers playing three roles (he was meant to do four, but pulled a sickie), George C. Scott being tricked into giving maybe the performance of his career, and a pie fight ending that never was. Plus, the realistic events that were so absurd Kubrick figured he might as well lean into the lunacy. One of cinema's greatest pivots from drama to dark comedy - we tell you how it happened.Telling the story of Hollywood one film at a time.Connect with ATRM: To join our fantastic community of film fans, support what we do, access our archive, listen to exclusive episodes, and a whole lot more, become an ATRM patron:Join the ATRM Community We're available on any podcast platform:Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyYouTube: Subscribe to our channelWe're across all major social channels too:Twitter: @ATRightMoviesInstagram: @allthe_rightmovies Facebook: Join our movie groupBluesky: @alltherightmovies.comTikTok: @alltherightmoviesWebsite: alltherightmovies.com
Devin & James are back in the Den for a career retrospective of one of Hollywood's greatest curmudgeons: GEORGE C. SCOTT!! We've been promising this one for years, and it's finally here. We've selected a handful of our personal favorite Scott performances, starting with Paul Schrader's notorious sleazeball thriller HARDCORE. Next, we ride the streets of 1970s Los Angeles with the criminally under-seen THE NEW CENTURIONS. Then we check ourselves into THE HOSPITAL for a particularly (im)potent Scott performance, and follow that with the existential cool of THE LAST RUN. Next, we take a trip to 1968 San Francisco in the disjointed romance of PETUNIA. Finally, we get spooky as hell with the greatest cold-case ghost story of all time, THE CHANGELING. Along the way, we take shorter looks at many other Scott essentials, such as DR. STRANGELOVE, PATTON, THE HUSTLER, ANATOMY OF A MURDER, RAGE, EXORCIST III, THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS, THE LIST OF ADRIAN MESSENGER, ISLANDS IN THE STREAM, and even a few others. Grab a stiff drink, settle in, and enjoy cinema's greatest angry man in all his salty glory.
This week, we review Dr. Strangelove (1964), Stanley Kubrick's pitch-black Cold War satire that turns global annihilation into biting comedy gold. Peter Sellers shines in multiple roles in this razor-sharp political farce where a deranged general sets off an unstoppable chain of events leading to nuclear catastrophe. Blending absurdity with alarming realism, the film skewers military logic, political paranoia, and the madness of mutually assured destruction.Is war a matter of strategy… or just one big Freudian slip?

There's a certain type of mix that doesn't shout. It just locks in and keeps things moving. This one lands exactly there, with HASKELL stepping up with a fresh Data Transmission session as he opens 2026 on Strangelove. No gimmicks, no filler, just club music played by someone who understands pacing, pressure, and when to let a groove breathe. HASKELL's rise has been steady rather than noisy. Releases across Toolroom Records, Nervous Records, Myth Of NYX, IN/Rotation and Strangelove Records have built a catalogue that works where it counts. In the booth. On proper systems. The records sit between house and stripped-back club cuts, rolling rather than racing, focused on movement and control. That mindset runs through this mix. His new Strangelove cut Ice sets the tone early, cold drums, tight low-end, no wasted energy. From there it's a selector's run. Lipstick brings swing and weight, DOUBLE C does what PAWSA does best, pressure without shouting. Cuts like El House and Power Of Love keep things ticking with that late-night bounce, the kind that works just as well in a low ceiling basement as it does on a warm rooftop. There's a strong run of HASKELL originals woven through the set too. Shake That, unreleased IDs, and the collaboration energy hinted at with the I Need You Baby cut all reinforce a clear point of view. This is club music made by someone who plays clubs regularly, not theory, not trends. A lot of that discipline comes from outside music. Before records and road life, HASKELL competed internationally in rugby, and you can hear that mentality here. Repetition, timing, restraint. Knowing when to push and when to hold. It's the same logic that made Go Deep with Mark Knight and Gene Farris such a strong Toolroom moment last year, functional, confident, built to last past first plays. This mix feels like a proper marker for the year ahead. No rush, no rebrand, just someone doubling down on what works and delivering it clean. Get locked in and listen via SoundCloud, Mixcloud or Apple Podcasts. This one's built for long blends and late finishes. ⚡️Like the Mix? Click the [Repost] ↻ button so more people can hear it!

A few years later when Stanley Kubrick was looking to make a (serious) film about the topic he was recommended the book. Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb was the resulting film. The film takes aim at military strategy, rhetoric and the people involved to give us one of the most famous satires in cinema. It would be quite easy to double the length of this episode, but we've tried to fit as much as we can into the hour with my two remarkable guests.

On this edition of Scene Missing,I'm joined by filmmaker/artist Gabriel Hardman and writer/critic Ian Brill for a sharp, no-nonsense look at the 1946 noir classic The Strange Love of Martha Ivers. We dig into the film's ruthless psychology, its tangled relationships, and how the performances from Barbara Stanwyck, Van Heflin, a young Kirk Douglas, and Lizabeth Scott still punch hard today. Hardman breaks down the visual language and shadow work that make the film so uniquely tense, while Brill dives into the screenplay's moral ambiguity and the twisted power dynamics at its core. From the opening “accident” that sets everything in motion to the film's bleak, pressure-cooker finale, this is a deep, character-driven postmortem of a noir that doesn't get enough modern attention. Perfect for fans of classic Hollywood, noir obsessives, and anyone who loves watching a great movie picked apart by smart people who know how the machine works.
The film writers Robert Rubsam and Corey Atad join the show for a discussion of two apocalyptic nuclear thrillers, Sidney Lumet's Fail-Safe (1964) and Kathryn Bigelow's brand new Netflix production A House of Dynamite.Both Dr. Strangelove and Fail-Safe were released by Columbia Pictures within months of each other in 1964 (as the result of a lawsuit stemming from the respective novels the films were based on). The two films depict an accidental nuclear crisis from the perspective of command-and-control rooms helpless to prevent the impending bombing but Lumet's version is a serious critique of Game Theory from a humanist perspective, with the participation of creatives who had been caught up in the Hollywood Blacklist during the Cold War.Bigelow's modern version of such a tale of nuclear crisis, by contrast, has a lot less to say about the subject. We compare its structural shortcomings to Lumet's stark masterpiece, a film more plugged in to its zeitgeist than this new Netflix production is.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

The world is a remake. Yesterday's show featured the MAGA remake of The Handmaid's Tale. Today it's Dr Strangelove 2.0 and the remaking of the trillion-dollar military-industrial complex in Silicon Valley. As William Hartung, co-author of The Trillion Dollar War Machine, notes, Dwight Eisenhower's old military-industrial complex has migrated west to Silicon Valley. It even has a Strangelovian anti-hero: mad Peter Thiel, co-founder of Palantir and the Curtis Le May character behind other Silicon Valley military start-ups. No wonder current American foreign policy—with its Monroe Doctrine meddling in Latin America—also appear to be a giant remake.1. Silicon Valley Has Become the New Military-Industrial Complex Dwight Eisenhower's old guard defense contractors—Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman—are being displaced by tech companies like Palantir, Anduril, and SpaceX. The “military-industrial-digital complex” represents a fundamental shift in how America builds and profits from its defense apparatus.2. The Defense Budget Is Out of Control—and Growing America spends roughly $1.5 trillion annually on military defense when you include the Pentagon budget, nuclear weapons, veterans' care, and interest on past war debt. This dwarfs spending on social programs like nutrition assistance and represents a stark trade-off: F-35s or feeding children.3. Peter Thiel Is the Curtis LeMay of Silicon Valley Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel embodies the dangerous fusion of tech innovation and military hawkishness. His companies profit from government surveillance and defense contracts while he promotes an ideology that treats Silicon Valley entrepreneurs as a superior form of human being who should colonize space and reshape foreign policy.4. The “Rebels” Narrative Is Corporate Propaganda Silicon Valley defense contractors style themselves as disruptive rebels challenging Pentagon bureaucracy, but they're simply a new generation of war profiteers. They're not democratizing foreign policy—they're making weapons more efficiently and lobbying for more aggressive military postures to justify their business models.5. America's Foreign Policy Has Become a Dangerous Remake From Monroe Doctrine-style meddling in Latin America to increasingly bellicose rhetoric about China, American foreign policy is recycling Cold War playbooks with 21st-century technology. The merger of Silicon Valley's move-fast-and-break-things ethos with Pentagon power creates genuinely Strangelovian risks.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Viva la resistance! Over the next four episodes we'll be looking at how Old Hollywood talks about politics, independence and democracy and we jump into the Cold War 1960s with this Stanley Kubrick satire. Dr. Strangelove is the de facto movie about the Cold War, though it's presented alongside a spate of movies specifically in 1964 looking at nuclear fears. Film critic Jeff Ewing joins Kristen and Emily to discuss America's fascination with nuclear weapons, Kubrick hate, and whether there's ever enough Peter Sellers.

Viva la resistance! Over the next four episodes we'll be looking at how Old Hollywood talks about politics, independence and democracy starting with this George Cukor comedy. Born Yesterday isn't a movie associated with any political group, but it celebrates the joys of being an informed person and our country's history of freedom. Plus, Judy Holliday is perfect and Bill Holden looks hot in glasses. Washington D.C. critic Nell Minow joins Kristen and Emily to talk about it all.

Part II of our crossover episode with The Bang-Bang Podcast! Van and Lyle are joined by Sam Ratner, Policy Director at Win Without War, and Andy Facini, Communications Director at the Council on Strategic Risks, to discuss WarGames, John Badham's Cold-War techno-thriller that accidentally foresaw the age of algorithmic warfare. What begins as a teenage prank—Matthew Broderick's David Lightman breaking into what he thinks is a computer game—quickly becomes a meditation on automation, deterrence, and human judgment in systems built to annihilate. Together, the group unpacks how WarGames' “WOPR” supercomputer prefigures today's AI decision-making, where machines learn to “take men out of the loop.” They trace how the film's closing revelation (“The only winning move is not to play”) echoes across four decades of nuclear strategy and modern debates over escalation, autonomy, and control. The conversation ranges from NORAD and machine learning to the moral limits of deterrence, the psychology of Cold-War adolescence, and the comic absurdity of believing one can win an unwinnable game. Like Dr. Strangelove before it, WarGames shows us a military machine that runs on fear, faith, and code, and a civilization learning to live with its own programmed self-destruction.Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.comSubscribe to The Bang-Bang Podcast: https://www.bangbangpod.com/Further ReadingSam's professional pageAndy's professional page“Strategy & Conscience (The Book Review We Need),” by VanTelehack, a retro internet simulator recommended by AndyThe Imagineers of War: The Untold Story of DARPA, by Sharon WeinbergerThe Closed World: Computers and the Politics of Discourse in Cold War America, by Paul N.

In this episode of International Horizons, Interim Director Eli Karetny speaks with film scholar Nathan Abrams about the enduring relevance of Stanley Kubrick and what his work can teach us about our current era. From the nuclear absurdities of Dr. Strangelove to the cosmic rebirth of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kubrick's films expose the fragile line between technological mastery and moral collapse. Abrams unpacks Kubrick's fascination with war, authority, and obedience, his roots in the New York Jewish intellectual tradition, and his exploration of mystical and mythic themes—from Kabbalah to The Odyssey. Together, they reveal how Kubrick's cinematic universe reflects our own: a world where human creativity, paranoia, and power intertwine in both terrifying and illuminating ways.

This week's show, a conversation on The Feminine Frequency with Jennifer Mulak, we welcome Cheyanne Disé aka MuggaRose to join us. A Catskill-based psychic, medium, and ceremonial artist, she recently arrived from New Orleans. Her lifelong exploration of the unseen began in 1988, when she first immersed herself in the study of parapsychology, past lives, and hauntings.Guided by intuition and ritual, MuggaRose's artwork carries a deep spiritual resonance. Her creations, often inspired by ceremony and ancestral memory, are collected both nationally and internationally.Throughout her journey, MuggaRose has deep-dived into a wide range of performance offerings—from the ghostly movements of butoh, to the transformative experience of motherhood, to fronting radical punk bands. Each expression informs her spiritual and artistic practice today.As a devoted spiritualist and seeress, she weaves community ceremonies from coast to coast, helping others connect with spirit, intuition, and the natural cycles of renewal.Her debut book, Sundries for the Soul, invites readers to embrace spiritual hygiene, transform daily routines into sacred rituals, developing relationships with the medicinal plant spirits for energy work and learn to trust their own intuition. Through her art, teachings, and ceremonies, MuggaRose offers a living practice of connection, transformation, and reverence for the unseen world as healing and self awakening.Today we get into the magic and practices of Samhain. MuggaRose shares her years of experience in relating to and honoring her ancestors through ancestral altars and offerings. We explore many related aspects of being in connection with our ancestors, including shadow work and the practice of presence. She shares stories and tales related to the holiday including past public ceremonial experiences and what they've revealed to her. She has a public ceremony this weekend to honor Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld who permits the passing of spirits to visit when the veils are thin. Join MuggaRose and Gabrielle Heron on Sunday, November 2nd at the Maetreum of Cybele in Palenville, NY. Arrive by 5pm to make the procession. If you're feeling inspired bring an offering to be made to the earth for Ereshkigal and some nibbles to share with the living following the ritual. She's also holding space for readings on Saturdays at Strange Love in Saugerties from Noon to 5, a place where you can also find a copy of her latest publication, Sundries...Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFYITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCAFollow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast

Kathryn Bigelow's new A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE games out a scenario that filmmakers have been grappling with since the mid-20th century, in particular the year 1964, which saw the release of two very different classics of the nuclear-catastrophe genre: DR. STRANGELOVE, followed a few months later by the other half of this week's pairing, FAIL SAFE. If the bleak realism of Sidney Lumet's nuclear thriller made it a tougher sell to audiences back then, though, it also makes FAIL SAFE feel like a more fitting companion to Bigelow's film than its satirical predecessor. We're joined this week by critic and author Jason Bailey to discuss why FAIL SAFE still feels so immediately chilling decades removed from its Cold War context, and how Lumet makes a story that plays out mainly in a series of small rooms feel both grand in scope and human in focus. Then, in honor of our second Lumet feature in a row on this show, we turn Feedback over to a discussion of some of the prolific filmmaker's lesser-known works. Please share your thoughts about FAIL SAFE, A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, or anything else in the world of film by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.
