I don't know a thing about F1, but if this movie does for F1 what Days of Thunder did for NASCAR, an entire generation of kids are about to dream about being the next Sonny Hayes. And just like Days of Thunder was Top Gun on Wheels, F1 is Top Gun Maverick on…more expensive wheels! Brad Pitt plays Sonny Hayes - an aging multi series vagabond driver who lives for the thrill of driving and the hope that on the track he can feel God's pleasure upon him. (He didn't say it that way in the movie but that was the gist of it.) As a kid he was coming into Formula 1 when he had a devastating accident. It cost him his future to be the next Senna. He went to drinking spiral, bad marriages, then driving taxis, and then found his way into any racing series that would have him and let him try to tame it. And they all did. Sports cars, NASCAR, Off Road, and now F1. His job in this movie, to get a young hot shot up to speed and save the rag tag racing team they're all there with to save their jobs. It's predictable, it's beautiful, it's fun, and it's fast. In a nutshell: awesome.

This week on Totally 80s and 90s Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt are firing up the engines and diving into Days of Thunder (1990), the slick, high-speed NASCAR drama that brought Top Gun-style adrenaline to the racetrack. Directed by Tony Scott and produced by the powerhouse duo of Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, the film stars Tom Cruise as Cole Trickle, a fearless but raw driver trying to prove himself on the NASCAR circuit. Backed by veteran crew chief Harry Hogge (Robert Duvall) and team owner Tim Daland (Randy Quaid), Cole navigates the fierce world of stock car racing, intense rivalries, and a life-changing crash that forces him to confront his own limitations. Nicole Kidman also makes her debut as Dr. Claire Lewicki, a neurosurgeon who becomes both Cole's caretaker and love interest. In their breakdown of the film, the guys rev up the nostalgia by exploring the movie's iconic race scenes, killer Hans Zimmer score, and the romance that sparked between Cruise and Kidman's characters. With plenty of behind-the-scenes trivia, quotable lines ("Rubbin', son, is racin'"), and some good old-fashioned '90s movie magic, Dave, Rob, and Kurt put the pedal to the metal in revisiting this cult favorite. Buckle up—this episode is racing straight into your ears!

Notre expert hockey et ancien entraîneur des gardiens de buts, Stéphane Waite, revient sur l’échange qui a amené Noah Dobson à Montréal, vendredi dernier. Bien qu’il soit satisfait de la transaction, Waite est inquiet du jeu physique de Dobson, malgré son physique imposant. De plus, il soulève que la valeur sur le marché de Mike Matheson n’a jamais été aussi haute, et qu’il faudrait peut-être en profiter pour l’échanger! Qui d’autre que Stéphane Leroux pour aborder l’actualité chaude du moment, le Repêchage LNH ! Il nous raconte l’histoire inspirante d’Alexis Cournoyer, gardien québécois repêché en 5e ronde par les Canadiens de Montréal. Il persiste tout de-même à dire que ce n’était pas nécessairement une bonne cuvée pour la LHJMQ, mais bien une cuvée ‘’honnête’’. Malgré tout, le fait de voir un québécois sortir dans le top 5, c’est très bon ! Était-ce le combat de trop pour Jean Pascal? Jérémy Filosa revient sur le plus récent combat du boxeur québécois, qui s’est soldé par un abandon du clan Pascal au 4e round. Malgré que l’heure de la retraite ait sonné pour Pascal, Filosa ne serait pas surpris de voir le principal intéressé participer à un autre gala de boxe, un peu comme Jake Paul, aux États-Unis. Hugues Léger, spécialiste en Marketing Sportif au réseau Cogeco, revient sur la sortie sensationnelle du film F1, avec Brad Pitt. Selon lui, le plan marketing de la direction du film est absolument génial. De plus, il soulève le fait que l'œuvre vise un public bien au-delà des fans traditionnels de la Formule 1. En effet, le film pourrait tout autant toucher les amateurs de films d'action, comme Top Gun, que les fans finis de Brad Pitt.Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

“Why do we keep watching the same movies over and over again?” That's the question that kicks off a fiery and funny roundtable on this episode of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle.Join hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they dive headfirst into the summer movie madness—where Brad Pitt's new F1 film is burning rubber at the box office, and yet another Jurassic World sequel is stomping into theaters with “water dinosaurs that punch like alligators.”Krystina, who saw the F1 movie ten days before release, breaks down why it's basically Top Gun on wheels—and why that's exactly what America wants. Meanwhile, the crew debates the endless recycling of franchises, from Mission: Impossible to Jurassic Park, and whether nostalgia is fueling creativity or killing it.
I brought my friend Ed Rush, a former Top Gun pilot, to explain how this 37-hour bombing mission to Iran actually went down. We're talking 14 bunker busters, five midair refuelings, and zero resistance—pure precision. If you've ever wondered how military power and prophetic timing collide, this is the conversation you can't afford to miss.
Send us a textThe Pentagon dropped a $962B budget bomb, and Razin Caine dropped an actual bomb—well, more like 125 aircraft dropping GBU-57 bunker busters on Iranian nuclear sites. In this no-fluff Daily Drop, Jared unpacks the FY26 defense budget, the rise of the F-47, the death of the A-10, and why space is the new high ground (sorry, Wedgetail). He also calls out bureaucratic nonsense, praises enlisted studs like Tech Sgt. Montoya, and side-eyes yet another “brilliant” plan to split the Air Force into four separate services. Meanwhile, Hoist is still the drink of choice, even if Congress can't get theirs together.
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, as the Big Beautiful Bill gets close to landing on the President's desk we witness the finishing touches and final changes for Senate approval. Also appreciation for Pete Hegseth and the military accomplishments thus far under the Trump administration. Also audio from Col. Dan "Raisin" Caine on no beach volleyball (a reference to Top Gun 2: Maverick), Gary reflecting back on when he got to fly a B-2 fighter jet, the top trending places to live in the U.S., audio from Karoline Leavitt as the FBI continues their search for the leaker, audio from Eric Adams from his re-election speech, Mamdani losing all his democratic peer support, the Trump moblie phone faces challenges due to Chinese manufacturing tariffs, SCOTUS in action and the one year anniversary of the big debate as Donald Trump calls out Joe Biden on his mumbling. Also audio from Condaleeza Rice on the cease fire, abd a new poll shows a majority of Americans approve of President Trump's actions against Iran as he undoubtedly experienced his best week yet as Commander in Chief.

Jerry Bruckheimer is the Hollywood producer behind some of the biggest blockbusters of all time, including “Top Gun,” “Armageddon” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Now, he's back with “F1,” which stars Brad Pitt as an aging Formula One driver who's ready to make a comeback 30 years after an accident derailed his career. Jerry joins guest host Talia Schlanger to talk about some of the incredible feats he's pulled off as a producer, and how he drew on everything he knows about making action-packed movies to create this new film.

"Jack Riccardi talked about the concerted attempt to downgrade the US raid on Iranian nuke sites, the trainwreck of the Mamdani campaign in NYC, should there be a Top Gun 3, and "Throwback Thursday 1985."
In this marathon Friday broadcast, CannCon and Chris Paul guide listeners through a day packed with monumental Supreme Court decisions and unraveling narratives. The hosts break down the ruling limiting nationwide injunctions, a game-changer for lawfare against Trump, alongside other split decisions on government overreach, Medicaid cuts, and LGBTQ curriculum opt-outs. They dive deep into the spectacle of Trump's Iran strike aftermath, exploring competing intelligence leaks, claims of obliterated centrifuges, and whispers of a pre-negotiated nuclear deal with Iran. The show also dissects the media's meltdown, highlighting how the same outlets pushing the Russia hoax are now spinning the Iran story. CannCon calls out the absurdity of the “12-Day War” branding while Chris compares the entire event to a live-action Top Gun reboot. Later, they expose the tangled web of Biden's autopen authorizations, ponder Big Balls' reappearance at the Social Security Administration, and cheer as Harvard's endowment faces new scrutiny. From Zelensky's dwindling spotlight to North Korea's bizarre mega resort, this episode is a sweeping tour of collapsing institutions, theatrical geopolitics, and the relentless push to reclaim narrative control.
U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet weapons systems officer and TOPGUN graduate Graham Scarbro talks with host Bill Hamblet about the Israeli and U.S. airstrikes against Iran's nuclear program.

From launching careers and creating timeless hits like "Flashdance" and the original "Beverly Hills Cop" – and its recent hit sequel, "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" – to the iconic dogfights in "Top Gun" – and let's not forget the absolute juggernaut that was "Top Gun: Maverick" – Jerry Bruckheimer knows how to make movies that hit hard and stay with you!

Według głównej tezy autora Ameryka jest nie tyle zagubiona, ile zwyczajnie ponosi konsekwencje swojej nieroztropnej polityki zagranicznej po zakończeniu zimnej wojny. Przez 35 lat USA podejmowały decyzje dyktowane krótkowzrocznym interesem, ignorując jednocześnie dalekosiężne i potencjalnie bolesne skutki. Być może najdotkliwszym przykładem owej krótkowzroczności była wojna w Iraku uznawana za punkt zwrotny w najnowszej polityce Stanów zjednoczonych - moment przesilenia. Choć militarnie Amerykanie szybko obalili reżim Saddama Husajna, to całkowicie zawiedli na linii budowania stabilnego państwa. Decyzje takie jak rozwiązanie armii irackiej i delegalizacja partii Baas doprowadziły do chaosu i wzrostu siły Iranu w regionie. Interwencja pokazała, że USA przeceniły swoją siłę i zignorowały konsekwencje geopolityczne. Według Łukasza Gadzały Irak był początkiem erozji amerykańskiego przywództwa i jednym z powodów późniejszego sukcesu Donalda Trumpa. Łukasz Gadzała zwraca uwagę, że świat stał się bardziej złożony, a hegemon nie jest w stanie egzekwować porządku w takim stopniu jak niegdyś. Ameryka wciąż pozostaje światową potęgą, ale coraz częściej działa nieodpowiedzialnie, co prowadzi do globalnej destabilizacji. Autor przywołuje ideę koncertu mocarstw jako realistycznego modelu utrzymania równowagi. Krytykuje myślenie o globalnej dominacji jako obowiązku moralnym. Witold Jurasz i Łukasz Gadzała analizują również wpływ neokonserwatystów na politykę USA po 2001 roku. Jaki był ich udział w narodzinach współczesnego populizmu i dojściu Donalda Trumpa do władzy. Tryumf środowiska MAGA jest skutkiem wieloletnich błędów elit – zarówno w polityce zagranicznej, jak i wewnętrznej. Błędy te podsycały od lat przekonanie przeciętnego Amerykanina o byciu porzuconym przez własne państwo. W rozmowie poruszona zostaje również kwestia rozszerzenia NATO i jego wpływu na relacje z Rosją. Gadzała zauważa, że proces zwiększania strefy wpływów Sojuszu Północnoatlantyckiego nie był od początku przesądzony i wywołał realne obawy w Moskwie. Obawy będące doskonałym paliwem dla rosyjskich polityków o neoimperialnych ambicjach. Z punktu widzenia USA rozszerzanie NATO było korzystne ekonomicznie i strategicznie, ale także niosło ryzyko eskalacji napięć z Rosją.
In this spoof of "Top Gun," former U.S. Navy pilot Topper Harley (Charlie Sheen) is haunted by an accident in which his father lost control of a fighter jet. When Lt. Cmdr. James Block (Kevin Dunn) asks Topper to come out of retirement and help him complete a classified mission, Topper returns to active duty against the advice of his psychiatrist (Valeria Golino) and soon discovers that he may be a pawn in a devious arms manufacturing conspiracy.
President Trump is beside himself after Israel breaks the cease fire agreed to on Monday... so much so that he busted out the F word. He's really hot... we have the latest. While they won't say which pilots flew the B-2 bombers from Whiteman, we have a pretty educated guess as one Lt. Colonel holds the record for most hours in the cockpit. Me and Jess have known a family member of his for years and we'll just call him KC's finest and the B-2's Top Gun. The Supreme Court backs Trump on deportation but a lower court judge is threatening to ignore the court. This can't end well. It's crunch time for the Royals and Chiefs regarding funding for where they play. Patrick Mahomes has one very interesting salary cap statistic, the NBA Final game hits a 6 year record high an ESPN announcer that had nothing to apologize for, apologizes. Unreal.
President Trump is beside himself after Israel and Iran break the agreed to cease fire. He was so mad, he busted on the F word to describe how stupid these countries are. Then, the cease fire was back on. We'll see. While they won't say which pilots flew the B-2 bombers over Iran Saturday, we have a pretty educated guess that one of them was Kansas City's finest. Me and Jess have known a family member of the record setting Lt. Colonel at Whiteman that holds the record for most hours in the cockpit of a B-2... over 2000 hours. We'll give you the name of Kansas City and the World's Top Gun. The Supreme Court backs Trump on deportation but a lower court judge says he's ignoring it. This can't end well for the lower judge. It's crunch time for the Royals and Chiefs regarding funding for where they play. Patrick Mahomes has one very interesting salary cap stat, the NBA gets it's highest rating in 6 years and an ESPN announcer apologizes for no reason at all other than she works at ESPN
Riding Shotgun With Charlie #232 Mekkos Beech Memphis Beech, Instructor & YouTuber I met Mekkos in a YouTube mastermind group hosted by Will Workman (RSWC #185). His YouTube channel is called Memphis Beech. So I asked the obvious question: are you in Memphis? I was scheduling a short southern tour and reached out to Mekkos. I was very lucky to have Mekkos on the show. He's a great guy, very knowledgeable, and a good tour guide! I'm glad we were able to connect and become friends. We met up at Top Gun in Memphis and headed down towards Beale Street and ended the show in Arkansas. Mekkos grew up in a military family, including his mother, with relatives in the Marines, Army, and Navy. He joined the Marines but he didn't grow up shooting but started his training in the military. He was a helicopter electrician and when he got out there weren't a lot of jobs in aviation. So he found a career in IT doing cyber security for most of the time. He got into competitive shooting, mostly IDPA. He started as an RSO at Top Gun and offers classes there. The classes he offers are just the continuing training that people need. He teaches IDPA classes, but he's also got classes like Mastering the Pistol and Beyond the Permit. He also has private one on one coaching sessions. He's got quite the credentials, too, being certified by Massad Ayoob Group, Tom Givens' Rangemaster, Active Self Protection, Last Resort Firearms Training, as well as the NRA, USCCA, and NAAGA. You can see he's a smart man. We spent some time talking about Tennessee. It is a permitless carry state but there are still lots of restrictions. They have what they call an “enhanced permit” which allows a permit holder to carry in more places than someone without one. I think he's got a great take on “Constitutional carry” saying “the state establishes the Second Amendment as their carry permit.” Therefore the state cannot control where you can and cannot go while you're carrying. His definition of permitless carry is as long as you can legally buy a gun and carry it, but there are rules and addendums you have to follow. The issue for permitless carry states is that you, as the citizen, still have to know what their laws are about where you can carry and even use force. This is why it is good to take some additional training. After studying defensive gun uses, he discovered that many of the skills used in the DGUs are not skills that people are getting at the permitting courses. Again, it is why those who carry should seek out additional training, take more classes, and read books about self defense. This is why when a state goes to permitless carry, training increases. When the government says you have to take a course and that's all you need to know, that is often where people stop taking training. When he started his YouTube channel, it was to focus on the competition side of things. He was going to show viewers how to go through various stages and help with their competitive shooting issues. But there was a holster review that took off and got tens of thousands of views. Some of the other topics include working with students who have a fear of firearms. Sometimes, the instructor doesn't know the student had a situation where they were affected by someone else using a firearm or if a woman is a DV survivor. I bring up a course I'd like to make and he helps guide me through what it should have. One of the reasons I wanted to start a show is to expand my circle of friends. My circle went to Will Workman, which led to his mastermind, which led to Mekkos. I'm honored he was able to make time to do the show, that we became friends, and that he shared his wisdom with us. Favorite quotes: “In Constitutional Carry, the state establishes the Second Amendment as their carry permit.” “It takes a little bit of emotional intelligence to keep people on track to remember the information from the first six hours.” “I have a huge passion for shooting. I have a huge passion for the pistol sports. I want to share that passion with others.” “I think of IDPA as a game. I think of USPSA as a sport.” Memphis Beech https://www.memphisbeech.com/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@MemphisBeech Facebook https://www.facebook.com/memphis.beech.coaching Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mbeech901/ EDC: Every Day Conversations Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/edc-every-day-conversations-hosted-by-memphis-beech/id1667064527 Second Amendment Foundation https://secure.anedot.com/saf/donate?sc=RidingShotgun Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/ Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.

Over the weekend, the U.S. launched strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities. Of course, for Americans and the financial markets, the response from not only Iran but also Iran's allies will be critical. Lance Roberts describes a process of logical evaluation and portfolio risk management when markets experience turmoil: What matters most to investors? What do these attacks mean for earnings? How might geopolitics affect EOQ activity?

After the bombs dropped on Iran's nuclear facilities, there were some rumblings on X that the mission felt eerily familiar. Mike Benz said Operation Midnight Hammer is the same mission that plays out in the grand finale of Joseph Kosinski's Top Gun: Maverick.His followers quickly pointed out that they're using fighter jets in Top Gun: Maverick, not the stealth B-2 bomber. The $2 billion plane is called the “ghost of the skies” because it is undetectable on radar.Even if the rough details are the same, the mission is slightly different because in the film, the pilot's skill is everything.Top Gun: Maverick is the American film industry at its finest, just as Operation Midnight Hammer is the American military at its finest. The film gives back more than it takes. It doesn't lecture us. It doesn't try to fix us. It merely entertains us for a couple of hours by reminding us why we need heroes and why we'll always respond to the Hero's Journey.We need heroes because, as the Buddhists say, life is suffering. We need them because every day we wake up alive is a good day. But most of our days are mundane and ordinary. And that might explain why Top Gun: Maverick resonated so deeply three years ago.After COVID and the Great Awokening brought Hollywood to its knees, the film industry desperately needed a Deus ex Machina. When Top Gun: Maverick made upwards of $700 million, it looked like it had finally arrived. It also earned a well-deserved Best Picture nomination and probably should have won, but it's been a while since they picked the actual Best Picture of the Year.Like the first Top Gun, Maverick was criticized as military propaganda. But we do ask our soldiers to fight and die in war as we sit in cafes with matcha lattes, so it's the least we can do to make a movie celebrating them.It turns out that Top Gun: Maverick isn't propaganda for the military. It's propaganda for the human race. It's propaganda for even having hopes or dreams at all. It's propaganda for feeling like a winner when the whole world is against you. We need heroes to take us on that journey. Even if we didn't know we needed them, we only have to watch them on screen to understand why.Tom Cruise in Top Gun is our ordinary world. He's brought back into the extraordinary because he's the only pilot who can fly like that and reach Mach 10.What's so great about Top Gun: Maverick is that while it shows our hero succeeding, it also shows him pushing too far and failing. We're now hooked to see if he can learn his lesson.Like all heroes, Maverick must be blessed with something special that makes him the only person who can save the day.It might sound silly when reduced to the basics, but a tried-and-true formula works. We root for the hero we know. The harder it is on him, the more invested we become.Top Gun: Maverick, to my mind, has very few flaws. But it does have one. They chose the girl to fly the critical mission. I didn't buy it. Maybe we can believe that extraordinary women exist just as extraordinary men do. It's only a movie, after all. But suspension of disbelief only goes so far. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit sashastone.substack.com/subscribe
On today's episode I start off being attacked with religion in a traffic altercation. This was not your typical type of road rage, i felt something burning on the inside of me. I also get to speak on a civil duty that i have to partake in every 5 years and i think we beed higher standards for this service. I hope to never need to rely on a group of people when in dire need. Speaking of odd ducklings, i got to experience real life cringe in real time and it was definitely an experience. PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT - PAUL ENGEMANNPUSH IT - RICK ROSS(00:00 - 37:49)I have a new not so new segment which is about movie reviews and spoilers. This week i speak about 2 movies “ TOP GUN & TOP GUN 2” to me both movies were good, but for me the sequel is better to me. Maybe because it had more action and a better story line. The first one is about dealing with lost and the second one was about not being lost. Both movies did have baddies for the lead female role, but i think the first one baddies was the best. I say words in this section, but you should def check out the movie. (37:50 - 48:29)I then jump into The Cool Report where i discuss a freak accident taking a millionaires life, which was a crazy way to end things. We then talk about another millionaire being salty at other people for listening to their ops music.people we have to do better as a society to not let people dictate what you like. From there we get into Angel Reese sending a cease and desist to a betting app over the making or not making of her first shot. Would this hurt my feeling… yes yes it would, but you're suppose to get better if you ask me, which y'all didn't. From there i am asked about my stance between Iran and Isreal and i have no clue what to think of it. ( also while i'm writing this the president has involved us in the war so don't judge me off this take lol)(48:30 - 01:04:31)We then step into a segment where the listeners ask me 3 questions about myself or just randomness. A character ask me how do I feel about ageism in hip hop, I think it is corny. But sometimes these artist make it hard for me to defend them. Another send me a link personally to ask if this scenario that was sent to me could be considered sexual harassment, and i feel it was a strong strong case of it, but the streets is a different place. (01:04:32 - 01:16:59)Then we have 2 fans ask us a questions for PTL where we get asked the tough questions where we place ourselves in their shoes. Like how do you bring up a partners character flaw, is it a flaw??? i don't know. But her man breath be humming and how do you bring it up without offending. Another lover want to know if they're in wrong in there dilemma. A blind date gone awry over weirdness and ego, but given the information it was definitely not a clear cut answer because of determine factors. Y'all were both at end wits with I, you really made this decision hard on I… not really.(01:17:00 - 01:29:16)THE FINi give thank to everyone that shows us love and wish y'all the best on the journey called life.(01:29:17 - 01:32:32)please continue to like, share, comment and subscribe.PEACE OUT!!!!

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, JAWS celebrates its 50th anniversary this month, and therefore felt it was a great time to explore the evolution of summer blockbusters. For anyone that was not aware, Jaws is the film that kickstarted the entire concept of summer blockbusters. It created a new focus for studios and movie theaters, a window of time to optimize the films with the largest budgets and greatest potential for success. We debate how ratings affected blockbusters, animation dominance, franchises, the sheer lack of original blockbusters, and much more. Also on this week's podcast, we discuss upcoming attractions as we prepare for a two-week podcast break. Click here for more info on our 2026 Alaskan Cruise!

Don't Kill the Messenger with movie research expert Kevin Goetz
Send Kevin a Text MessageIn this episode of Don't Kill the Messenger, host Kevin Goetz sits down with legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer, the mastermind behind billion-dollar blockbusters, including Top Gun, Pirates of the Caribbean, Bad Boys, Beverly Hills Cop, and the television shows CSI, The Amazing Race, and Fire Country. Bruckheimer shares insights into his detailed approach to filmmaking, the power of test screenings, and what it takes to consistently deliver crowd-pleasing entertainment.The Power of Audience Testing (01:22)Bruckheimer emphasizes the crucial role audience research has played in his success, citing examples like Armageddon and Bad Boys: Ride or Die, which both saw significant improvements in test screening scores.The Origins of Top Gun and Casting Tom Cruise (08:49)Bruckheimer reveals how Top Gun almost didn't get made due to studio concerns about airplane movies, and his brilliant strategy of arranging for Tom Cruise to fly with the Blue Angels, which sealed Cruise's commitment to the project.Learning from The Lone Ranger (18:05)Goetz and Bruckheimer analyze why The Lone Ranger didn't connect with audiences, emphasizing how budget discussions overshadowed the creative vision and the importance of early concept testing.F1: The Upcoming Blockbuster (24:20)Bruckheimer details the three-year process of making F1, from convincing Formula 1 teams to participate to achieving record-breaking test screening scores.Working with Hollywood Legends (29:22)Bruckheimer shares personal stories about collaborating with icons like Gene Hackman, Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, and Johnny Depp.Television Empire and The Amazing Race (40:01)With 10 Emmy wins for The Amazing Race and over 2000 episodes across franchises like CSI and Fire Country, Bruckheimer discusses his approach to television and how he maintains the quality across multiple projects.Over the course of the interview, Bruckheimer shares how his pursuit of perfection, genuine respect for audiences, and ability to adapt while maintaining his core philosophy, "I don't make movies for anybody but the audience," contributed to his mega success. His insights reveal the strategic thinking and collaborative spirit behind some of Hollywood's biggest franchises.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Jerry BruckheimerProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, Nick Nunez, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment) For more information about Jerry Bruckheimer:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_BruckheimerIMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000988/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jerrybruckheimer/?hl=en For more information about Kevin Goetz:Website: www.KevinGoetz360.comAudienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/How-to-Score-in-Hollywood/Kevin-Goetz/9781982189860Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Substack: @KevinGoetz360Linked In @Kevin Goetz
R. Kelly's prison drama takes a wild turn as he claims he was nearly poisoned by jail staff—prompting Skin to drop the line: “Jerry Junior, get Beau Brinley on the phone!”Plus, Top Gun 3 rumors ignite a fiery debate—will Tom Cruise fly into a volcano with Ludacris? Or is this just another Scorcher sequel we never asked for?And in one of the funniest exchanges of the episode, the crew riffs on R. Kelly's legacy:“Remember that week in 2025 when we lost three music icons—Sly Stone, Brian Wilson, and the guy who wrote the remix to Ignition?”“It's the urination.”“Yeah.”
You know those random, slightly unhinged opinions you have that make zero sense to other people, but you will defend them no matter what? This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I planting our flags on the silliest and most passionately defended opinions — also known as “the hill you'll die on.” Mine? People who back into parking spaces in busy lots are selfish. (Yes, I said what I said.) We also hit the Laugh Line to hear all your hot takes — from the Oxford comma to pineapple on pizza to why pickles need to calm down.So whether your hill is about cereal being soup, walking protocol on sidewalks, or your refusal to accept the one-space-after-a-period rule (let my spaces live!), you are welcome here. Come for the unhinged opinions, stay for the community of people who forget they're not doing voice-to-text when leaving a voicemail. And stay tuned to the end of the show when Penn reveals his Top 5 hills to determine which he's most passionate about (and provides us a full-blown TED Talk on Top Gun in the process.)

Can you believe Betamax turns 50 this month? On this week's show we look at how the VCR changed the entertainment industry and gave us a reason to build our home theaters. We also read emails and take a look at the week's news. News: YouTube Is Swallowing TV Whole, and It's Coming for the Sitcom Roku adds more premium features to its own line of midrange TVs Other: Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box 8K Cosm The Betamax Turns 50 this Month In the late 1970s, the arrival of the Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) sparked a seismic shift in entertainment, as detailed in a recent Hollywood Reporter feature. Initially met with skepticism by studios fearing piracy, the VCR became a cultural juggernaut, reshaping how audiences consumed media and how Hollywood operated. By 1987, home video revenue surpassed theatrical box office earnings, with VHS tapes turning movies like Top Gun into cultural touchstones that families could own and rewatch endlessly. The VCR democratized access to films, birthing the video rental industry—think Blockbuster's neon-lit aisles—and empowering consumers to curate their viewing experiences. It also gave studios a lucrative new revenue stream, with tapes priced high for rentals before dropping for mass ownership. Yet, the technology wasn't without flaws: tracking issues, bulky machines, and the dread of “Be Kind, Rewind” defined the era. Beyond movies, the VCR enabled niche content to thrive, from fitness tapes to obscure genres, while fueling Hollywood's sequel-driven franchises. As The Hollywood Reporter notes, the VCR's legacy endures in today's streaming wars, where on-demand viewing owes its roots to those clunky cassettes. The VCR didn't just change Hollywood—it rewired how we connect with stories. Here are some fun facts about the VCR (Video Cassette Recorder): First Commercial VCR: The Ampex VRX-1000, introduced in 1956, was the first commercially available VCR. It cost around $50,000 (equivalent to over $500,000 today) and was primarily used by TV studios, not homes. Home VCRs Arrived Late: The first consumer VCR, the Philips N1500, hit the market in 1972 in the UK. It was pricey (around £400, or $4,000 today) and could only record for about an hour. Format Wars: The 1970s saw a fierce battle between Sony's Betamax (1975) and JVC's VHS (1976). VHS won due to longer recording times (up to 4 hours vs. Betamax's 1 hour initially) and better marketing, despite Betamax's slightly superior picture quality. Rental Boom: Video rental stores exploded in the 1980s because VCRs were affordable, but tapes were expensive ($50-$100 each). The first Blockbuster opened in 1985, capitalizing on this trend. Time-Shifting Revolution: VCRs introduced “time-shifting,” letting people record TV shows to watch later. This was groundbreaking, though networks initially feared it would kill live TV. A 1984 U.S. Supreme Court ruling upheld home recording as legal, boosting VCR popularity. Early Adopters' Struggles: Early VCRs were clunky, with complex controls. The infamous “blinking 12:00” on VCR clocks became a cultural joke because many users couldn't figure out how to set the time. Global Impact: By 1980, only about 1% of U.S. households had a VCR, but by 1990, over 70% did. Japan led early adoption, with companies like Sony and JVC driving innovation. Peak Sales Period (1977–2000): The VCR was a dominant consumer electronics product for about two decades. We can estimate U.S. sales alone at approximately 100–200 million units over this period. Market Decline: VCR sales peaked in the 1980s and 1990s but declined sharply in the early 2000s as DVDs overtook VHS. By 2003, DVD sales surpassed VCR sales, and the last VCRs were manufactured by Funai in 2016.
