Snowpiercer Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Andrew Gordon and John Humphrey as they dive into Bong Joon Ho's groundbreaking 2013 adaptation of Snowpiercer—a dystopian thriller that redefines survival in a frozen post-apocalyptic world. When a catastrophic climate experiment plunges Earth into a new ice age, the last remnants of humanity find refuge on a perpetually moving train, where strict class divisions spark a fierce battle for justice. Chris Evans (Captain America, The Avengers, Knives Out, Fantastic Four 2005) stars as Curtis Everett, the resolute rebel leader who ignites the uprising against the brutal elite. Alongside him, Song Kang-ho (renowned for his work in Parasite and The Host) delivers a powerful performance as Namgoong Minsoo, a man whose secret knowledge becomes crucial to the resistance. The film also features Tilda Swinton (Doctor Strange, We Need to Talk About Kevin) as the enigmatic Minister Mason, the legendary John Hurt (Alien, The Elephant Man) as Gilliam—the wise elder whose guidance resonates throughout the revolt, & Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot, Fantastic Four 2015) as Curtis' right hand, Edgar. Other notable performances include Octavia Spencer (The Help, Hidden Figures), Ewen Bremner (Trainspotting, Wonder Woman, Black Hawk Down), Alison Pill (Midnight in Paris, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), Ed Harris (Apollo 13, Pollock), & MORE! Andrew and John break down Snowpiercer's most unforgettable moments—from the explosive uprising in the tail section and the claustrophobic tension of each train car, to the gripping final showdown in the engine room that challenges the very meaning of freedom. Whether you're a die-hard fan of dystopian cinema or discovering this frozen epic for the first time, our reaction and review offers an in-depth exploration of the film's twists, turns, and striking visuals.

What's up, horror junkies? This week on the podcast, I welcome back Mannuel C. to explore the intriguing concept of “Non-Horror Horror,” where we discuss films that challenge traditional definitions of the horror genre. From the psychological manipulation in The Good Son to the dark thriller elements of Seven, we dissect why these movies, despite their chilling themes, might not be universally considered horror. We delve into the prestige-versus-horror debate with Silence of the Lambs, the real-life terror of We Need to Talk About Kevin and the sci-fi-meets-cosmic horror of Event Horizon. Along the way, we ponder whether horror requires monsters or jump scares and examine why the genre often lacks recognition at award shows. Join us as we unpack these films and debate what truly defines horror. A horror movie is a genre of film designed to evoke fear, dread, or shock in its audience. These films often feature elements that are intended to terrify or unsettle, including supernatural entities, violence, psychological distress, or grotesque imagery. While traditional horror relies on explicit scares and thrilling moments, its core purpose is to elicit an emotional response rooted in fear. Common tropes include haunted settings, dangerous antagonists, and themes of survival against sinister forces. Thank you, everyone, for your support. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out on Instagram at ⁠⁠⁠@so_you_like_horror⁠⁠⁠ or email us directly at soyoulikehorror@gmail.com. We're open to all conversations, suggestions, topics, and criticisms.

This week, something has gone wrong with Meagan's brain and it's NOT a worm! It has something to do finding an Amish dog named Kevin online, becoming hypnotized by his tiny bear face, then entering a fugue state and traveling to his location in Lancaster, PA with $850 in cash and the backing of literally dozens of listeners to purchase him. Is this an ethical way to acquire a dog? No. Was Kevin worth it? 100000%.Then, Lindy -- a connoisseur of oceanic news -- brings an aquatic story of great significance from one of our Nation's most trustworthy journalistic sources: Instagram reels. This story has everything: an air guitar contest, one or two chill brewskis at most, a man overboard, a creature of some kind, and a stick. Lindy and Meagan ponder what they'd do under similar harrowing circumstances, then rank sticks from worst to best.You won't want to miss this episode!

Our guest on this week's #NCFWhittle is Lionel Shriver, the acclaimed novelist and winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction for her novel "We Need to Talk About Kevin". Her new novel is "MANIA: What if calling someone stupid was illegal?" - and it could not be more relevant to our increasingly dystopian times. Order here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mania-latest... "In a reality not too distant from our own, where the so-called Mental Parity Movement has taken hold, the worst thing you can call someone is 'stupid'. "Everyone is equally clever, and discrimination based on intelligence is 'the last great civil rights fight'. "Exams and grades are all discarded, and smart phones are rebranded. Children are expelled for saying the S-word and encouraged to report parents for using it. You don't need a qualification to be a doctor. "Best friends since adolescence, Pearson and Emory find themselves on opposing sides of this new culture war. Radio personality Emory – who has built her career riding the tide of popular thought – makes increasingly hard-line statements while, for her part, Pearson believes the whole thing is ludicrous. "As their friendship fractures, Pearson's determination to cling onto the 'old, bigoted way of thinking' begins to endanger her job, her safety and even her family. "Lionel Shriver turns her piercing gaze on the policing of opinion and intellect, and imagines a world in which intellectual meritocracy is heresy. Hilarious, deadpan, scathing and at times frighteningly plausible, MANIA will delight the many fans of her fiction and journalism alike."

Bestselling author & journalist Lionel Shriver is known for her “under-expressed, unpopular, or downright dangerous” views. She is the author of more than two dozen novels, but her latest book is more personal. In “Abominations: Selected Essays from a Career of Courting Self-Destruction,” Lionel presents a collection of her most provocative material on topics ranging from religion and mortality to gender and immigration. As a novelist, Lionel is an advocate for artistic freedom. She recently described censorship in the publishing industry in her Roger Scruton lecture at Oxford, titled “When Cowed Creatives Capitulate: Conformity and Bad Art.” She is particularly critical of the loss of beauty, style, and wit in modern fiction due to “rectitudinous, censorious, and sanctimonious” ideologies. Lionel's novels include “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” which the BBC adapted to film, and New York Times bestsellers “Should We Stay or Should We Go,” “So Much for That,” and “The Post-Birthday World.” She is a columnist for The Spectator and her articles have been published by The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, and The Economist, among others.

We may only be halfway through Gameweek 21 but it's been another drama fuelled week and it began pre deadline with Suj missing Friday's deadline and wait until you hear who the captaincy is on! While for James it's been a slow start to the FPL week, but we are only halfway through. There's discussion on the 5 games played so far which saw controversy at Burnley, Cole Palmer rewarding captainers with the only goal for Chelsea against Fulham, Manchester City won a brilliant game at Newcastle, it was goalless at Goodison and Tottenham twice came from behind to earn a point at Old Trafford. But we need to talk about Kevin De Bruyne. Back with a goal and assist to help turn the game around on Saturday, can FPL managers ignore him with money in the bank and brilliant fixtures on the horizon which now includes a Double Gameweek!?

This week on Rational Security, with Scott traveling, Quinta and Alan were joined by Lawfare Senior Editor Molly Reynolds to break down the week's big national security news stories, including:“What is Impeachment, Really?” Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy has announced an impeachment inquiry against President Biden seemingly with the goal of finding something to impeach him over. Will this do anything to hold back the right flank of McCarthy's caucus from coming for McCarthy's speakership? “The Investigation of the Investigation of Donald Trump.” House Judiciary Committee Chairman and fearless Trump defender Rep. Jim Jordan has fired back against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over the Georgia state indictment of Donald Trump, announcing that he's planning to investigate Willis for engaging in what he terms a politically motivated prosecution. Willis has responded by accusing Jordan of seeking “to obstruct a Georgia criminal proceeding.” What kind of authority, if any, does Congress actually have to conduct this kind of oversight?“Still Musky.” A new biography of Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson has sparked controversy thanks to Isaacson's description of a decision by Musk to turn off Starlink coverage near Crimea to block a Ukrainian maneuver. Isaacson has already walked back his own reporting … but the incident still raises questions about Musk's power on the global stage and his ability as a private actor to shape the course of war.For object lessons, Alan recommended the novel “Song of Achilles.” Molly shared a PBS documentary series about the Troubles called Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland, and Quinta shouted out the HBO documentary series Telemarketers.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Kevin McCarthy has always had his eyes on one job - Speaker of the House. But after Republicans won Congress's lower chamber by a razor thin majority, the party's right wing extracted major concessions before handing over the gavel. When the GOP accepted a deal with the Biden administration to raise the nation's debt ceiling, House hardliners felt betrayed. Now McCarthy faces renewed attacks on his leadership from within his own party. With important legislation that still needs to be passed, and little wiggle room for dissent, how does McCarthy hang on?
