Ancora una volta ci affidiaimo al caso dello spietatissimo Ultimate Tournament per scegliere i migliori film dell'anno. In compagnia di Andrea Chimento e Giuseppe Grossi, una puntata ricca di pugnalate alle spalle, colpi di scena e scelte azzardate.
A grande richiesta torna il format Ultimate Tournament di Blow Out. Questa volta lo spietato torneo si abbatterà sui vincitori dell'Oscar come Miglior Film dal 2000 a oggi. Chi vincerà la battaglia tra Il Gladiatore e Il dicorso del re? Chi sceglieremo tra Il Signore degli Anelli - Il ritorno del re e CODA - I segni del cuore? Preferiremo la spietatezza di Non è un paese per vecchi o i buoni sentimenti di Green Book? Una puntata senza esclusioni di colpi, tra colpi bassi e sorprese inaspettate!
Tutto il meglio visto nel 2023 in un torneo spietatissimo: quale sarà il miglior film dell'anno per la redazione di Blow Out?

We're now into the second round of Roger's quest to determine the most unique US Top 40 hit of the 1980s. The songs here are about war, drugs, crime, history, motherhood, sex, TV, aging, racism, economic inequity, and more. The songs are on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDWLXjsOJPQku206PzO_mdlEzm6fWrqNP You don't need no education to enjoy this episode, but hopefully you're wearing clean clothes.
At last, the eighth and final first round bracket of the tournament to determine the Uneasiest Rider on the US Top 40 of the 80s is upon us. There are horses, cats, criminals, lawyers, old ladies, obese young men, dubious boat captains, mistaken identity, symphony orchestras, and so much more. Keep track of the action on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDWLXjsOJPQkENFmYDZQItPOlSz-HYeuA Slip inside this episode, but no, you can't call me Al.
SEX! Now that I have your attention, it's another bracket of the 80's Uneasy Rider Tournament, as Roger continues to pit songs against each other to determine the most unusual and unique American Top 40 hit of the decade. This section has a lot of, shall we say, suggestive material. There is nudity, glorification of certain body parts, advice, restraint, commerce, betrayal, medicine, genius, and much more. Listen to the matchups, then decide for yourself if the right songs won on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDWLXjsOJPQm_0hu3_w9BCBiGFUQZ1m5Y . And remember, you don't have to take your clothes off to enjoy this podcast. And you don't need cherry wine, either.

They never really went away, but for almost 20 years the world had a holiday from an old challenge and a new one; Russia and the prospect of nuclear war.Some thought, and more hoped that with the end of the Cold War, a newer world order would emerge that would enable an era of stability and peace. In a way, it did – but only in spots and for short periods of time.While for the last 15 years most of the attention was focused on the expansion of radical Islam, two not unrelated events began to wax. From the ashes of the Soviet Union, fed by a charismatic leader and a resource extraction economy, Russian began to reassert itself in a manner consistent with the last 500 years of its history, and in parallel – the boogyman of the second half of the 20th Century began to grow as well; the proliferation and possible use nuclear weapons.To discuss this and more for the full hour will be Dr. Tom Nichols,Tom is a professor at the Naval War College and at the Harvard Extension School, as well as a Senior Associate of the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs in New York City and a Fellow of the International History Institute at Boston University. Previously he was a Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC. Before coming to the War College, he taught international relations and Russian affairs for many years at Dartmouth College and Georgetown University. In Washington, he was personal staff for defense and security affairs in the United States Senate to the late Senator John Heinz of Pennsylvania. He received his PhD from Georgetown, an MA from Columbia University, and the Certificate of the Harriman Institute at Columbia. He's also a five-time undefeated Jeopardy! champion. He played in the 1994 Tournament of Champions, is listed in the Jeopardy! Hall of Fame. He played his final match in the 2005 Ultimate Tournament of Champions.
