Yvette Young is back on the podcast, which means we are legally required to talk about beautiful guitar parts, creative chaos, and the strange little circus act of trying to be a functioning artist in the modern world. This time around, Yvette digs into her work on the new Superman soundtrack, including what it was like getting mysterious NDA phone calls, turning around guitar cues on tight deadlines, and then watching the movie wondering which of her parts survived the final cut instead of, you know, simply enjoying the movie like a normal person. We also get into the deeper stuff: burnout, touring, trying to make time for solo music, learning to serve someone else's creative vision, and the eternal struggle of doing enough work to survive without accidentally sanding your soul down to a decorative nub. There's also talk of signature gear, musician play dates, creative retreats in the woods, and why music should probably be treated less like a sport and more like a weird, beautiful thing humans do because our brains won't leave us alone. Yvette is always a delight, and this one gets wonderfully real. Support The Show And Connect! The Text Chat is back!

In this super episode of Sorry, We Tried (did I use that one for the original Superman review last year? I can't be bothered to check), it's finally time to talk about Supergirl! The DCU's second film has taken a beating from pretty much everyone for weeks, but does it deserve all the hate? Is the DCU dead already before it even got off the ground? Well...Also in this episode, Robby eats way too many crackers. Harrison can't believe all the behind-the-scenes drama. Spencer brings a visual aid. And the guys diagnose all the reasons the DC Universe might come crumbling down.Website: sorrywetried.comMerch: bit.ly/swtmerchInstagram: @swtpodcastTwitter: @sorrywetriedEmail: thepodcastmen@gmail.com(As always, a huge thank you to Richard Hackley for the music.)Send us Fan MailSupport the show

By 1986, REM were veterans of the college rock scene, had recorded in London and gotten songs into the charts. For their 4th album, Life's Rich Pageant, they took a step forward in stretching not only what they could do musically but voicing social, political and environmental concerns through their lyrics. We don't find it to be totally in your face (as opposed to say, U2) but more subliminal as their lyrics can sometimes be nebulous or at least not straight forward and not about rock cliches like hot rods and chicks (not that there's anything wrong with hot rods and chicks if you know what I'm saying out there boys - Ian Astbury, The Cult). They may sneak in stories about a polluted river in Cuyahoga or regret the rise and fall of a revolutionary in Central America (The Flowers of Guatemala) or even the effects of acid rain damaging our environment (Fall On Me). But they do it with upbeat riffs and guitar runs from Peter Buck with lead singer Michael Stipe delivering the message while bassist Mike Mills provides the counterpoint lyrics to not only tell the story but give REM their signature sound. The driving beat provided by Bill Berry make songs like I Believe an all out rocker you can jump around and shout along to. And they experiment with things like banjos on Swan Swan H and middle eastern sounds on Underneath The Bunker (not quite an instrumental). This album went gold and is the predecessor to Document which would be their first platinum record thanks to The One I Love & It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine). Superman, a cover by the 60's psychedelic band Clique, helped them get in the charts and draw some interest beyond college campuses and college radio. That interest would build to Document which would lead to a $40 million record contract from Warner Brothers and put them on a steeper trajectory to pop superstardom. REM fans are often divided between those who knew and loved them in 80s before they hit it big and those who came to know them thanks to the big record company, expensive videos and pop stylings. For me, the IRS records of the 80s will always be the real REM and Life's Rich Pageant is a great moment in time for them. They've learned the ropes, made some good records and are not complacent - they moved forward believing in themselves, each other and their convictions which would eventually bring them all the success in the world.

X-Men '97 is back... and somehow Season 2 might already be even better than the incredible first season! After one of the greatest superhero TV seasons ever made, Marvel Studios had enormous expectations to meet. Through the first four episodes of X-Men '97 Season 2, we think they're off to an outstanding start. In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we break down Episodes 1-4 of X-Men '97 Season 2, discussing the incredible action, shocking story developments, Apocalypse's rise, Cable's emotional journey, Magneto's biggest moments, and what we think is coming in the rest of the season. COLD OPEN (First 30 Minutes) Before discussing X-Men '97, we cover some of the biggest stories in superhero movies and pop culture: • Is The Flash really as bad as Madame Web? • Rumored characters appearing in the upcoming Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow (Justice Gang, John Stewart, Blue Beetle, Peacemaker, and Martian Manhunter & more!) • The Batman Part II delayed once again until February 2028 • Could James Gunn leave DC Studios after Paramount's reported acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery? • Why Clayface could become the sleeper hit of the DC Universe • Can The Odyssey or Spider-Man: Brand New Day become the next billion-dollar blockbuster? FULL SPOILER DISCUSSION After the news, we jump into a full spoiler breakdown of X-Men '97 Season 2 Episodes 1-4. We discuss: • The X-Men being divided across the past and future • En Sabah Nur's transformation into Apocalypse • Apocalypse vs. Magneto • The shocking ending to their battle • Nathan Summers (Cable) and his relationship with Scott Summers and Jean Grey • Apocalypse's Horsemen • X-Factor and X-Force in 1997 • Favorite characters and standout performances • The incredible animation • Fast-paced storytelling • Comic book inspirations and Easter eggs • Our predictions for the rest of Season 2 Marvel Studios continues to prove why X-Men '97 has become one of the best superhero animated series ever made. The emotional storytelling, stunning animation, incredible action sequences, and faithful adaptation of classic X-Men comics have us completely hooked. From Apocalypse's terrifying rise to Magneto's unforgettable moments, Cable's emotional family story, and the introduction of X-Factor and X-Force, these first four episodes are packed with everything we love about the X-Men. If the rest of the season maintains this level of quality, X-Men '97 Season 2 could surpass an already phenomenal first season. Whether you're a lifelong X-Men fan, a Marvel Comics reader, or someone discovering these characters for the first time, this review is packed with deep comic book discussions, theories, Easter eggs, and predictions for what's coming next.

It's double clashing this week as both episodes deal with League members who don't necessarily get along! First in Clash, Captain Marvel gets himself in trouble as he can't keep his mouth shut, and he disagrees with Superman about Lex Luthor. It kicks off an all out brawl that decimates the city, that ends up in him quitting the League and the founding members have to look themselves in the mirror. Next in Hunter's Moon, Hawkgirl leads a mission to space, with Vixen and Vigilante in tow, and it's a facedown on who should actually lead, and who should actually date Green Lantern!

This week, Nate Tice from Football 301 joins the show to help us unpack why the 49ers might be dangerously overhyped, even if Brock Purdy remains wildly underrated under center. Then, we head over to the AFC to declare why you need to buy all the stock in the Houston Texans and their fantastic young quarterback, CJ Stroud. We also break down why Fernando Mendoza has found himself in the absolute perfect situation to succeed, before taking a trip down memory lane to remind everyone that prime Dan Marino was basically Superman playing the QB position. Finally, we close out the show with a pop-culture confession: we're defending the nu-metal renaissance and debating why Korn and Limp Bizkit might actually be... good.

Los Angeles hides an almost overwhelming number of ghosts behind its glamour, from the piano-playing spirit at Hollywood's Magic Castle and the body found in the Cecil Hotel's water tank to the sex-magick rocket scientist, Father Yod's robed disciples, and the cults that made the City of Angels a capital of the occult.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/hauntedlaREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p98dtw7CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:24.727 = Hollywood's Haunted Magic Castle00:09:13.905 = Los Angeles' Haunted Hotels ***00:27:05.636 = Los Angeles: City of the Occult ***00:51:50.907 = L.A.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness turns to Los Angeles, the City of Angels, and the almost overwhelming number of ghosts, haunted hotels, and occult history hiding behind its glamour, from the Magic Castle and the Cecil Hotel to the sex-magick rocket scientist Jack Parsons, cult leader Father Yod, and the ghosts of Griffith Park.It opens inside Hollywood's Magic Castle at 7001 Franklin Avenue, the private clubhouse of the Academy of Magical Arts, where the Houdini Séance Room honors a magician who spent his career trying to debunk spiritualism and left his wife Bess the code phrase "Rosabelle, believe" for contact from the afterlife. The castle carries the story of Irma, the piano-playing ghost said to have died in 1932 and returned to the mansion built in 1909 by Rollin B. Lane, along with the ghost of magician Dai Vernon near his favorite seat in the Palace of Prestidigitation, the unidentified girl in the Haunted Cellar, and a Halloween 2011 fire that started at the exact time of Houdini's 1926 death and gutted the Dante Room while sparing the Houdini Room.From there the episode checks into the haunted hotels of Los Angeles, beginning with the Knickerbocker, which opened in Hollywood in July of 1929, hosted Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio on their honeymoon, and staged Bess Houdini's tenth and final rooftop séance the night an isolated thunderstorm struck the building alone. It moves through the Ambassador on Wilshire Boulevard, where Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down by Sirhan Sirhan in the kitchen on June 4, 1968, the Rosslyn Annex with its forgotten Prohibition speakeasy, the Alexandria and its bricked-off phantom wing, the Biltmore where Elizabeth Short, the Black Dahlia, was last seen before her 1947 murder, and the Cecil Hotel, home to serial killers Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger and the site where guest Elisa Lam was found dead in the rooftop water tank in 2013 after guests complained the water tasted strange.Next the episode traces L.A.'s long history of the occult, running from Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and his early Pasadena partnership with rocket scientist Jack Parsons, who performed the "Babalon Working" ritual and later died at 37 in a home laboratory explosion, to Charles Manson and the Family murders of August 1969 that killed Sharon Tate and six others, Carlos Castaneda and the Yaqui shaman Don Juan Matus who launched the New Age movement, and Jim Baker, the marine turned messiah Father Yod, who took fourteen wives and led the Source Family from a Hollywood Hills mansion. It covers avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger and the witch Marjorie Cameron, the 1920 LAPD raid on the Mazdaznan sun-worshipers, the love-cult of Edith Maida Lessing at Mount Helios, the Devil's Gate Dam in Pasadena, and the curse Petronilla Feliz laid on the land that became Griffith Park.The episode closes with a tour of famous L.A. ghosts: the more than one hundred jumpers off Pasadena's Colorado Street "suicide bridge," including Myrtle Ward, whose daughter survived the fall; the body parts Marines found in a freezer at the abandoned Rancho Los Amigos hospital in 2006; picnic table number 29 in Griffith Park, where a couple was crushed by a falling tree in 1976; Bela Lugosi's hearse drifting past his favorite cigar shop; the many spirits of the Queen Mary docked in Long Beach; the unsolved 1929 deaths of Ned Doheny and Hugh Plunkett at Greystone Mansion; the ghost of Superman actor George Reeves; and Bob Baker, still haunting his marionette theater alongside the dead puppeteers who worked there.

They break down what Jared calls one of the most consequential and openly authoritarian speeches an American president has ever given, delivered by a man who can barely read the Stephen Miller script in front of him. The speech claimed China compromised over 200 million voter profiles, that a deep state hid it all from Trump, that Barack Obama personally handled burn bags full of evidence, and that 280,000 noncitizens are on the voter rolls, with WhiteHouse.gov supposedly holding the proof. Nick actually went and checked. The site was down, and when it loaded there was not a single document. The pair walk through why none of this is really about 2020, and everything about building a permission structure to rig the 2026 midterms and beyond, how intelligence agencies purged of anyone competent now feed Trump whatever he wants to hear, and why the echoes of Iraq War cherry-picking should worry everyone. It closes on the media trap where even networks that refused to air the speech will now repeat its claims for months. What we're watching: Nick is working through A History of Violence, the Cronenberg film written by friend of the pod Josh Olson, and enjoying the Viggo Mortensen slow-burn. Jared put on the newish Superman and found it a case study in how wall-to-wall James Gunn quipping drains every scene of tension, though Lois Lane comes out looking great.
James Gunn's new DC Universe continues with Supergirl (2026), but has the film been unfairly judged or does it genuinely fall short?Jon Evans and Alex Hansford sit down for a full spoiler review, discussing Milly Alcock's performance as Kara Zor-El, how closely the film follows Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Jason Momoa's debut as Lobo, the strengths and weaknesses of the screenplay, studio reshoots, the visual design, and whether superhero films are beginning to lose their cultural dominance.Along the way they compare the film with the original Helen Slater classic, explore why the comic arguably tells the story better, debate whether the critics were too harsh, and ask what the disappointing box office performance could mean for the future of DC Studios.Spoiler warning: this episode discusses the entire film, including the ending.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and first impressions03:05 Has Supergirl been unfairly judged?11:20 Milly Alcock, Ruthie and the performances21:20 Jason Momoa's Lobo and the supporting cast30:40 Production design, cinematography and music39:50 Favourite moments, ending and final verdicts50:45 Are superhero films losing their appeal?Supergirl 2026 review, Supergirl spoiler review, James Gunn DC Universe, Milly Alcock Supergirl, Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow, Lobo Jason Momoa, DC Studios, Superman 2025, comic book movies, superhero podcast Hosted on Acast.

The League welcomes Jaush back to tackle one of the biggest superhero movies of the year: Supergirl (2026).Clay, Dursin, and Jaush break down Milly Alcock's performance as Kara Zor-El, Craig Gillespie's direction, Ana Nogueira's screenplay, the relationship between Kara and Ruthye, the film's emotional core, spectacular cosmic visuals, and its place in James Gunn's new DC Universe.The biggest conversation, however, is Jason Momoa's debut as Lobo. After years of fan speculation, Momoa finally gets to play the Czarnian bounty hunter, bringing the Main Man's attitude, humor, and brutal style to the big screen. The guys discuss whether Lobo steals every scene he's in, how faithful the character is to the comics, and where he could appear next in the DC Universe.Plus, the League talks Superman connections, favorite moments, comic book influences, surprises, Easter eggs, and whether Supergirl lives up to the hype.Find out what the "S" really stands for.

A famous athlete sat tall in his seat as he prepared to fly to the championship bout he knew he’d win. A flight attendant walked by and said, “Sir, please fasten your seat belt.” The man smiled, “Superman don’t need no seat belt.” She replied without missing a beat, “Superman don’t need no airplane. Buckle up.” And he did. Success can swell our heads. We don’t need a seatbelt or a flight attendant telling us what to do. We can take care of ourselves. If we bring this attitude to church, we’re like an eye that says to the hand, “I don’t need you!” or a head that says to the feet, “I don’t need you!” (v. 21). The truth is, every part of the body is needed, and “those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable” (v. 22). We are made in the image of the triune God, the Father, Son, and Spirit who thrive in an interdependent community of love. The God who exists in perfect relationship within Himself made us to be in relationship with others in life and in the church. We’re not all the same, and that’s a good thing. “If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be?” (v. 17). We’re not all the same but we’re all “indispensable” (v. 22). Who helps you at your local body of Christ? Tell them you notice, that you see them, and thank them for their service. And ask God to show you where you can serve other believers.

This week The Guys revisited a tradition of going to a movie none of their wives wanted to see. Permission to watch Supergirl was granted and acted upon. No Oscar nominations are expected (though the CGI dog is pretty good), but The Guys give it 3 thumbs up. Milly Alcock and Jason Momoa seem to fit their roles, and David Corenswet seems very Superman-ish in his appearances. Despite Jay's confusion (why is this movie taking place mostly in space with what seemed like cameo appearances from Star Wars aliens?), the story moves along and makes sense. Lots of planets, multi-colored suns, but no multi-verses. In other news, sadly, the leader from an iconic band passes from the planet. On the other side of the planet, for those who love electric cars AND Batman, Mihandra is ready to take your rupees. “Heroes” is back on Netflix, so maybe Jay will get past the first few episodes this time around. Save The Guys! Save the World!
Grab your cape and your cold one, because Shayne and Jay are suiting up for a DC Universe deep dive. Round 322 is a Redux of the classic BT40, and these two self-proclaimed experts (their words) are ready to settle the score between the DC and Marvel movie universes. Spoiler: Wonder Woman wins everything.Topics include:Man of Steel, Henry Cavill, and the Zod controversyBatman v Superman and why Gal Gadot saved the whole movieSuicide Squad, Jared Leto's divisive Joker, and Margot Robbie's scene-stealing Harley QuinnWhy DC rushed their cinematic universe and paid for itWhere Wonder Woman ranks among Marvel movies**Round 322**~~~~~~~**Support the Show on Patreon!**Want more Beer Thursday in your life?

And yes, they are expertise. They even discovered a hidden Marvel movie once. Nobody else figured that out.**Man of Steel gets some love.**Jay is a lifelong Superman fan, and he gives Henry Cavill major props for making the role his own without trying to copy Christopher Reeve. The bus rescue scene, the weight of Clark Kent's childhood, and yes, the controversial ending with General Zod all get the Beer Thursday treatment.**Batman v Superman? Mixed feelings.**Jay basically calls it a decent Batman movie that Superman happened to show up in. Shayne enjoyed it because he is easily entertained. Both agree that Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman entrance alone was worth the price of admission.**Suicide Squad and the Joker problem.**Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn? Brilliant. Jared Leto as the Joker? Not so much. The guys give full credit where it's due and move on quickly.**The big question: Did DC rush it?**Shayne makes a sharp point. Marvel spent years building up to the Avengers. DC threw everyone into the same movie by film number two. The game was not allowed to come to them.**Wonder Woman stands alone.**Jay calls it his favorite DC movie and says it comes close to Marvel caliber. Where exactly it ranks among Marvel films is a question that will require its own round.Part 2 is coming. Whenever that is.~~~~~~~Disclosure: I don't really have a house elf. Artie is AI. Get it?

Possibly the best episode of the season, Episode 5: "The Death of Superman," delivered on every level. Even with a runtime of less than 30 minutes, the nonstop action, intense fights, and Superman getting tossed around made it feel much bigger than its length.Now we want to hear from you! What was your reaction after watching this episode? Where do you think the story goes from here now that Clark appears to be far less "super" than he was before? And what do you make of John Kent? Was that a version of him from another universe, or was it the same John who previously tried to change his future?There are so many interesting theories floating around, and we can't wait to see how everything unfolds in Episode 6.
From The Batman part II being delayed, to Steam making $11b in 6 months. From the rising tide in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynched, to the lack of IMAX 70mm. Yet that all couldn't save Moana from Te Fiti, you're welcome?
By 1986, REM were veterans of the college rock scene, had recorded in London and gotten songs into the charts. For their 4th album, Life's Rich Pageant, they took a step forward in stretching not only what they could do musically but voicing social, political and environmental concerns through their lyrics. We don't find it to be totally in your face (as opposed to say, U2) but more subliminal as their lyrics can sometimes be nebulous or at least not straight forward and not about rock cliches like hot rods and chicks (not that there's anything wrong with hot rods and chicks if you know what I'm saying out there boys - Ian Astbury, The Cult). They may sneak in stories about a polluted river in Cuyahoga or regret the rise and fall of a revolutionary in Central America (The Flowers of Guatemala) or even the effects of acid rain damaging our environment (Fall On Me). But they do it with upbeat riffs and guitar runs from Peter Buck with lead singer Michael Stipe delivering the message while bassist Mike Mills provides the counterpoint lyrics to not only tell the story but give REM their signature sound. The driving beat provided by Bill Berry make songs like I Believe an all out rocker you can jump around and shout along to. And they experiment with things like banjos on Swan Swan H and middle eastern sounds on Underneath The Bunker (not quite an instrumental). This album went gold and is the predecessor to Document which would be their first platinum record thanks to The One I Love & It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine). Superman, a cover by the 60's psychedelic band Clique, helped them get in the charts and draw some interest beyond college campuses and college radio. That interest would build to Document which would lead to a $40 million record contract from Warner Brothers and put them on a steeper trajectory to pop superstardom. REM fans are often divided between those who knew and loved them in 80s before they hit it big and those who came to know them thanks to the big record company, expensive videos and pop stylings. For me, the IRS records of the 80s will always be the real REM and Life's Rich Pageant is a great moment in time for them. They've learned the ropes, made some good records and are not complacent - they moved forward believing in themselves, each other and their convictions which would eventually bring them all the success in the world.

Wir befinden uns in einer Umbruchphase und das auf mehreren Ebenen. Es sind nicht nur der Klimawandel und die Zeitenwende durch den Ukrainekrieg. Dazu kommen massive Migrationsbewegungen und die Veränderungen in der Arbeitswelt durch künstliche Intelligenz. Viele Menschen haben große Ängste, psychische Probleme nehmen zu, die Zukunft wird als bedrohlich und ungewiss empfunden. Kein Wunder, dass Helden Konjunktur haben. Im Kino z. B. Superman und Supergirl und eine neue Ausgabe der Odyssee. Waren die von Feministinnen und einigen Kulturwissenschaftlern in der Nachkriegszeit ausgerufenen postheroischen, friedliebenden Zeiten nur ein kurzes Intermezzo? Brauchen wir wieder die großen Heldenerzählungen für eine Gesellschaft, in der jeder versucht, Verantwortung zu übernehmen und bereit ist, Opfer zu bringen? Darüber wollen wir sprechen mit dem Filmwissenschaftler Marcus Stiglegger, mit dem Kulturwissenschaftler Niels Werber, mit dem in Amerika lebenden Kognitionswissenschaftler Fritz Breithaupt, der sich mit der Heldeninszenierung von Donald Trump beschäftigt, und mit dem Psychologen Stephan Grünewald, dessen jüngstes Buch über unsere verunsicherte Gesellschaft „Wir Krisenakrobaten“ heißt. Podcast-Tipp: Matthay fragt Was lehren uns vergessenen Heldinnen wie Hedy Lamarr, Filmstar und Technikpionierin? Warum wurden sie nie gefeiert? Sind Heldinnen überhaupt noch zeitgemäß? Sabina Matthay fragt Stefanie von Wietersheim, die sich mit vergessenen Heldinnen befasst hat. https://www.ardsounds.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:1b3af7286b9f9679/

Tim and Frank take on a deceptively simple question: is Spider-Man actually a street-level superhero?

Jace and Rocky break down all 13 DC releases for the week of July 15, 2026. Nightwing #140 brings Psycho Pirate into Dan Watters' Blüdhaven mystery by tying the city's violence to Medusa architecture instead of the Medusa Mask. Wonder Woman #35 works as a Wonder War interlude that retells Diana's origin through Steve Trevor explaining Wonder Woman's history to Trinity. End of Life #6 has Eddie Stallion try to leave Pluto before his reunion with Sophie convinces him to stay while the Menagerie's assassins keep closing in. Batwoman #5 has Kate Kane rescue Alice by removing her mask and reaching her sister directly, while Mother Despina warns that winning may still mean losing. Deathstroke: The Terminator #5 reveals the person behind the attacks on Slade and ends with a threat to Rose Wilson that she may not survive. Absolute Flash #17 ends the Gorilla City story in tragic fashion with the young Grodd caught between loyalty to his father and his bond with Wally. Batman/Superman: World's Finest #53 highlights Dick Grayson's skills as he tries to break Batman and Superman free from Tyrannus Rex's control in Skartaris. Dark Knights of Steel 2 #1 expands the medieval DC world beyond the original kingdoms as Kara is welcomed into Amazonia, Batman remains separated from the League, and Amanda Waller's secret villainy continues to hang over the larger story. New Titans #37 hints at Static joining the team while giving Kid Devil more spotlight and continuing Spoiler's rise into a stronger leadership role. Lobo #5 has the network ordered to bring Lobo back, only for the executive to put a contract on him and send Lip Bomb after the Main Man. Catwoman #89 pushes Selina deeper into her Gotham war with Black Mask while bringing her connection to Carmine Falcone closer to outright confirmation. Superman Unlimited #15 builds on the Ultra Boy reveal by showing Jon Kent's faith in him pay off, while Superwoman's arrival keeps the Earth-3 story from ending cleanly. Absolute Green Arrow #3 shifts further into Black Canary's investigation as the issue reveals Miraclo, Rex Tyler and anti-aging experiments tied to the billionaires being targeted. They also give a rundown of this week's collected editions, reprints and facsimile releases. As always, all books are ranked from top to bottom and each host gives a Book of the Week pick.

In this powerful episode of The Addictive Mind, host Duane Osterlind sits down with Christian Struthers to discuss his incredible journey from an ego-driven lifestyle of addiction to surviving a catastrophic, near-fatal car accident. Christian shares how a simple shift in perspective saved his mental health, how a German Shepherd named Millie helped him heal, and how he turned his trauma into a mission to give back.Key Takeaways From This EpisodeThe Illusion of "Superman": From the outside, Christian had it all—athletic talent, college baseball scholarships, and a supportive family. However, a lack of consequences fueled a massive ego, leading him down a dark path of alcohol, party scenes, and using prescription pills (like Xanax and painkillers) to regulate his extreme lifestyle.The Crash That Changed Everything: On August 3, 2016, Christian was the passenger in a vehicle traveling 130 mph that flipped end-over-end for a football field and a half. The driver tragically did not survive. Christian suffered catastrophic injuries, including a broken neck, two strokes, a punctured lung, and a shattered pelvis. He survived by a thread, stopping his internal bleeding on the very last available bag of his rare O-negative blood type.The "I Get To" Mindset: Facing the reality of being bedridden and told he might never walk again, Christian fell into deep depression. A profound piece of wisdom from a hospital nurse flipped a switch for him: "Christian, you don't have to do this. You get to do this." This shift from obligation to gratitude changed the trajectory of his recovery.Millie and the Genesis of Dog Dash 3K: Promised a dog by his parents if he survived the coma, Christian bonded with a German Shepherd named Millie. She became his ultimate motivation to heal. To honor her unconditional love, he started Dog Dash 3K, a community event that now donates 100% of its profits to animal shelters.Recovery is a Work in Progress: Christian opens up about the painful loss of Millie to heart disease years later, which triggered a brief relapse into drinking. He shares a vulnerable, vital reminder that sobriety and healing are never linear, and that addiction is often a coping mechanism for underlying pain.Memorable Quotes"My ego—they called me Superman... it started with ego, went to bad choices with no consequences, and then it went to addiction." — Christian Struthers"A nurse looked at me and she said, 'Christian, you don't have to do this. You get to do this.' That right there switched for me... That's what changed my life." — Christian Struthers"Addiction isn't necessarily the problem... it's our answer to the problem. There's an underlying pain." — Christian Struthers"You're one good decision away from completely changing your life. And you get to make that good decision today, right now." — Christian StruthersResources & Links MentionedConnect with Christian Struthers:Websites: christianstruthers.com | dogdash3k.comSocial Media (Dog Dash 3K): Facebook, Instagram, YouTubeSocial Media (Personal/Vlog): Christian Struthers Real Life Rambles (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube)Follow and Review: We'd love it even more if you could drop a review or 5-star rating over on Apple Podcasts.

In today's episode, I sit down with executive coach, speaker, Ironman athlete, and Iron Mind Advisors founder Kendrick Stoddart to talk about resilience, mental health, and finding purpose after adversity. Kendrick shares how leaving a successful cybersecurity career led him to a calling centered on helping others, and why removing the "Superman cape" became the key to lasting growth. Together, we discuss the dangers of high functioning leadership, the importance of boundaries, asking for help before a crisis, listening to those who care enough to tell the truth, and building daily habits that support both personal wellbeing and sustained high performance.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Mikaela Hoover is in the midst of a well-earned banner year. She's made memorable appearances in a number of projects over the years, including scene-stealing work as Floor in Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3, but her run in 2025 and 2026 is putting her in the spotlight in the way she deserves. Soon after making her debut as Cat Grant in James Gunn's Superman, she appeared in the highly anticipated second season of Lee Sung Jin's Beef as Ava. As though that project pairing isn't impressive enough, Hoover also joined the ensemble of one of the most popular series out there right now, Netflix's live-action One Piece.Even though Hoover appeared on Collider Ladies Night a mere year ago, there was so much more to discuss given all that she's accomplished in a single calendar year. After discussing her unforgettable key scenes in Beef Season 2, we dug deep into the process of voicing and doing the facial capture performance for one of the most beloved One Piece characters, Tony Tony Chopper. While breaking down how the team brings Chopper to life on screen, Hoover revealed that that process is getting a major overhaul for Season 3. Hosted on Acast.
