Random Access Memory or TWIG RAM is our shoot from the hip media agnostic discussion podcast. Join Birdman, Ken, David and Adam as we discuss media we've consumed either off the cuff or with a specific vague topic in mind…as well as a few off topic tangents that might pop into our heads along the way.This time, our full crew of geeks discuss the theatrical films so far this year that stick out to us. And while we do discuss the very obvious features that were highlights this last late Winter/Spring we thought it best to highlight some films you probably haven't seen or some that got lost in the shuffle of the bigger boys. Its a recommendation bonanza this week so get ready to go to streamers and/or premium VOD services cause these are ones that we think should not be missed.Jack into our Random access memories here on TWIG!Check out David on the Do You Even Movie? podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/do-you-even-movie/id1716401646Show Notes:Our LetterBox Accountshttps://letterboxd.com/birdmantwig/https://letterboxd.com/davidswma/https://letterboxd.com/kenreels/https://www.instagram.com/davidswatchingmoviesagain/https://www.instagram.com/doyouevenmoviepod/Your Geekmasters:Mike "The Birdman" - https://bsky.app/profile/birdmanguelph.bsky.socialAlex "The Producer" - https://bsky.app/profile/dethphasetwig.bsky.socialKen Reels - https://bsky.app/profile/kenreels.comFeedback for the show?:Email: feedback@thisweekingeek.netTwitter: https://twitter.com/thisweekingeekBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/thisweekingeek.netSubscribe to our feed: https://www.spreaker.com/show/3571037/episodes/feediTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-week-in-geek/id215643675Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Lit2bzebJXMTIv7j7fkqqCastbox: https://castbox.fm/channel/id2162049Website: https://www.thisweekingeek.netJune 15, 2025

Culture has always had the power to move people. To shift narratives. To shape politics. Which is why when Bridget heard that one of Trump’s first moves after taking office was to take over the Kennedy Center — Washington D.C.'s premiere venue for performing arts — she had questions. Why would Trump care about a cultural institution best known for theater, music, and the arts? If you ask Carri Twigg — co-founder of Culture House Media, co-host of Twig and Jenkins, and a former member of President Biden’s Advisory Committee on the Arts that oversees the Kennedy Center — the answer is: a lot. In her Rolling Stone piece, "Trump’s Cultural Power Grab: Why His Kennedy Center Takeover Matters," Carri breaks down just how influential culture is — not just in politics, but in shaping hearts, minds, and futures. In this fascinating interview, Bridget and Carri talk about the enduring importance of cultural power, and how the left can reclaim culture as a force for justice and progress.
