Podcasts about Unreal

UnREAL premiered 10 years ago and is having a panel at the ATX Television Festival this year, so I thought what better way to celebrate than to cover the pilot episode. You can stream the show on Netflix.Reality shows are often full of drama, but in the case of dating show `Everlasting', there may be more drama behind the scenes than there is in front of the camera. Executive producer Quinn commands her staff to get dramatic and outrageous footage for the show, which forces young producer Rachel to manipulate the relationships among the contestants to get the show's final cut to match Quinn's vision of it. As show star Adam searches for his perfect mate, the show's staff members deal with their own romantic predicaments on the set. Rachel's ex-boyfriend is one of the show's cameramen, and his current fiancee, Lizzie, is the makeup artist.“The Final Rose” - An UnREAL Cocktail:

Send us a textIt started with jokes about zippers and tight flight suits—and somehow ended with tears, respect, and emotional damage. In this episode, Jared and Aaron go full live-reaction mode to Netflix's Thunderbirds documentary, expecting to roast some high-speed sky dancers… but end up with a full-blown redemption arc, complete with G-locks, dumb call signs, and some real leadership lessons.They question if the show is harder than combat, mock staged B-roll, and coin the term “Swag Maintainer,” all while secretly (and not-so-secretly) falling in love with the team. This isn't just about airplanes doing tricks—it's about pride, sacrifice, pain, and the power of not sucking when it counts. Bonus points if your call sign isn't “Primo.”

I was approached by a PR firm to put Ben Bell on the show. Certainly seemed like an interesting thought. Afterall, domestic Sake is a rarity and one from the heart of Little Tokyo, Arkansas! (that was a little tongue-in-cheek humour). There were so many questions and so little time. Some stories just require more questions and who wouldn't want to know how in the H-E double hockey sticks did he fall into making Sake in Arkansas. Ben Bell might be the only person you'll ever meet whose journey to sake mastery began not in Tokyo, but in Hot Springs, Arkansas—and includes a failed job interview conducted entirely in Japanese. You'll be entertained, surprised, and utterly engrossed as you discover how this Arkansas native went from stocking wine shelves in Little Rock to apprenticing at world-class sake breweries in Japan, all the while learning a language many would consider impossible to master. In this episode, Paul Kalemkiarian draws out the remarkable story of how Ben's early fascination with wine sparked a lifelong pursuit of drinkable discovery, culminating with the founding of Origami Sake right in America's rice heartland. You'll learn how technique, not terroir, is the soul of sake—why craft and style choices shape every bottle more than the field the rice grew in. Ben breaks down sake's renaissance in America: from hot, mass-market pours at sushi joints to the nuanced, premium sakes you should really be tasting chilled, not warmed. You'll hear what truly sets sake apart, why it defies the rules of wine, and how its food-pairing versatility can elevate everything from Cajun shrimp and grits to Arkansas barbecue. Want tips on how to actually drink and serve sake? Ben's got you covered, and he'll tell you why a wine glass in your kitchen may be the best tool for enjoying the craft. Most of all, you'll realize that America's next great beverage story might just be unfolding far from the coasts, where passion meets persistence and the art of sake is rewritten, one bold, Arkansas-brewed batch at a time. ✅ Ever wondered how top-tier sake is being crafted in… Arkansas? ✅ Origami Sake co-founder Ben Bell joins host Paul Kalemkiarian on Wine Talks for a wild deep dive into the rise of American sake and his journey from wine geek to sake master. ✅ From mastering Japanese in rural Japan to winning international gold medals—all from Hot Springs, Arkansas—Ben shares what it really takes to create world-class sake outside of Japan, why rice matters, and how sake breaks the rules for pairing with food. ✅ Takeaway: If you think sake is just for sushi night, think again. This episode will change how you see (and drink) sake—grab a glass and tune in now!

Wrexham are on the rise… again!

Tempest Rising beamt RTS-Veteranen auf eine nostalgische Zeitreise in die 90er-Jahre und fängt das unnachahmliche Command-&-Conquer-Feeling gekonnt ein. Die Vertrautheit ist dabei ein zweischneidiges Schwert: Einerseits schwelgen Fans in Erinnerungen und genießen das klassische, solide Gameplay. Andererseits hätten sich Doktrinen und der Multiplayer-Modus etwas mehr Eigenständigkeit verdient. Optisch beeindruckt Tempest Rising mit der Unreal 5 Engine, während der vertraute Sound und Stil zwar kaum Neues wagen, aber das Retro-Erlebnis stimmig untermalen. Storytechnisch fehlt es dem digitalen Krieg zwar an echter Tiefe, doch die aufwendigen Zwischensequenzen zeigen den ambitionierten Ansatz. Insgesamt liefert Tempest Rising eine technisch versierte und äußerst unterhaltsame Neuinterpretation eines RTS-Klassikers, die trotz kleinerer Innovationslücken das Herz von Genrefans höher schlagen lässt.

The episode kicks off with a buzzworthy revelation from The Rock, who appeared on Pat McAfee's show. He shared insights about TKO executive chairman Ari Emanuel's call for ticket sale assistance and teased ideas involving Cody Rhodes and John Cena. The hosts explore The Rock's vision of Cody selling his soul to the “final boss” and Cena's long-awaited heel turn. Cena reportedly loved the creative twist, wanting it to mirror his real-life experiences, but the hosts feel the story's execution fell flat. Shifting gears, the duo criticizes Travis Scott's involvement in the Cena storyline, stating it distracted from the wrestling narrative. They also discuss Paul Heyman's new Dangerous Alliance, featuring names like Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, and brainstorm potential members, emphasizing the group's need for devious, powerhouse characters. The WrestleMania 41 recap takes center stage, spotlighting the women's triple threat match between Iyo Sky, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley. The hosts laud the match's chemistry and high stakes, with Sky shining as a breakout star. They also praise Bianca Belair for turning a hostile crowd in her favor. While high points like Dominick Mysterio's Intercontinental Championship win earn applause, matches like Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest and Logan Paul vs. AJ Styles draw sharp critique. Lastly, the episode teases Rusev and Aleister Black's returns and offers thoughts on WWE's new reality series, “Unreal,” with skepticism about its appeal. #theFBCPod

Welcome back to another bite-sized episode of Look Behind the Look. Today, we're back with another obscure cinema excavation exploring Spike Lee's 1996 film, Girl 6. The film offers a unique take on the world of phone sex operators through the eyes of an aspiring actress in New York City and, of course, so much more than that. We'll explore how this film fell into obscurity...and the layered messages on race and female exploitation.Despite its ambitious narrative, the film received mixed reviews upon release and was a commercial disappointment, grossing approximately $4.9 million against a $12 million budget. Girl 6 was dismissed so hard when it came out; it's like it just vanished from Spike Lee's filmography. Reviewers like The Washington Post's Rita Kempley described it as "little more than a profane litany punctuated by Oscar-caliber orgasms," while the Post's Desson Howe stated that "it's enough to reduce expectations over him forever."Even when discussing He Got Game two years later, Spike wouldn't mention Girl 6…That's how much people sidelined it. It's wild because after Girl 6, Spike didn't make another film centered on a female perspective until Chi-Raq in 2015, almost 20 years later. You have to wonder if the reception to Girl 6 made Spike pull back from telling stories about women, especially Black women, navigating systems that weren't built for them. Girl 6 is one of Spike's most overlooked films, but also one of the most fascinating. That's exactly why it deserves a closer look behind the look.A Cultural ReassessmentIn 1996, people didn't know what to do with Girl 6. It barely made a dent at the box office, critics were lukewarm at best, and ultimately, it faded into obscurity. But here's the thing—Girl 6 wasn't a failure. It was a film about performance, sex, race, capitalism, and identity. It didn't fit the mold Hollywood—or even Spike Lee fans—wanted it to fit.This was Spike's first time directing a script he didn't write. The screenplay came from Pulitzer Prize-winner Suzan-Lori Parks, and what they created together was something totally different from the more straightforward sociopolitical narratives people had come to expect from Spike. Instead of overt protest, Girl 6 gives us a quiet, messy rebellion in the form of one Black woman trying to survive the film industry without selling her soul.Theresa Randle plays Judy, a struggling actress who ends up working as a phone sex operator to make ends meet. And that premise could've easily become male-gazey or exploitative in the wrong hands. But it doesn't. This is a story about the male gaze, not one that indulges it. The camera doesn't leer. It's observant. It's empathetic. It's watching Judy navigate objectification. Beyond general objectification, it shows how she manages which specific forms of objectification she subjugates herself to, like being told by her boss, Lil played by a perfectly cast, Hollywood legend, Jenifer Lewis, she needs to sound “Caucasian” on the phone, because that's what “the client likes.”The film also drops in these surreal, meta moments that throw you off, especially the interspersed news storyline of the young black girl who survived falling down the elevator shaft in her building, but that's the point. It draws a direct line from girlhood to adulthood—how young Black girls are burdened from the start with invisibility, impossible standards, and stereotypes they're expected to navigate alone just to survive. We see Judy auditioning for roles where she's told to be more "urban," more "real," while directors like Quentin Tarantino, in his now-infamous cameo, barks at Judy with lines laced in microaggressions that escalate—into full-blown aggression, unchecked racism, and flat-out exploitation as he demands she take her top off on camera. It's violent in its familiarity. And that's the point. Girl 6 doesn't flinch—it forces us to sit in the discomfort, to confront how easily Black women are dehumanized under the guise of “opportunity.” This isn't just a scene. It's a reckoning that begins Judy's arc. It's Spike and Suzan-Lori Parks holding up a mirror and asking, ‘How many times has this happened—and how many times did we call it art?' or better yet "This is what you do to Black women when you 'give them a chance.'"And that's why the ending hits so hard. Because after everything—after all that growth and pain and disillusionment—it's gutting to see Judy go back to Shoplifter. It's framed like a reunion, maybe even a resolution—but it isn't. It's a return to something familiar. Something that once had control over her.And when she heads to L.A. for her so-called fresh start, she walks right into the same kind of exploitative audition that launched this whole journey. The loop restarts. But this time—she doesn't freeze. She doesn't stay quiet. She doesn't submit. She assertively leaves. That moment shifts everything. Because even though the circumstances haven't evolved, she has. It's not loud. It's not celebrated. But it's powerful. It's self-possession. It's Judy refusing to play the part again, even if the script is exactly the same.So no, the ending isn't tied up in a bow. But it's not hopeless either. Girl 6 isn't offering a fantasy of escape—it's showing us what resistance looks like when the world and the people around you won't meet you halfway. Quiet, deliberate, exhausted… but still yours.So why did Girl 6 flop? Because audiences weren't ready for a Black feminist art film disguised as a phone-sex dramedy. It didn't check the boxes. It wasn't "important" in how people expected a Spike Lee joint to be. The film's portrayal of Judy's experiences resonates with contemporary discussions about the empowerment and exploitation inherent in everything we've come to understand about performance, labor, and digital sex work (hello, OnlyFans), Girl 6 feels prophetic. In recent years, Girl 6 has been reassessed for its ahead-of-its-time commentary on sex work and female agency.It's time we stop calling it a misstep. Girl 6 didn't fail. We did—for not seeing what it was trying to show us. With all that said, I do still think it's worth critiquing how a man directing the film despite having a female screenwriter is a statement and impression in and of itself that is left upon this film, and that's something we're still unpacking today.The wigs, costuming, and futuristic sets are all intentional and impeccably designed. Judy is a chameleon, adapting to the fantasies projected onto her. She tries never to lose herself, but as the film progresses, it becomes a hard line to walk. And Randle does it brilliantly. Her performance is nuanced, internal, and often quiet—maybe that's why it got overlooked. People expected something louder. But Judy's strength is in her stillness. I paused the film so many times in awe, wondering - how we didn't get Theresa Randle leading dozens of films post-Girl 6. Her performance has always stuck with me. She is the film.Girl 6 is a wig-lover's dream. Theresa Randle wears over 20 different wigs and styles throughout the film, and each one feels like a window into her state of mind or her persona at that moment. Her hair isn't just flair—it's fashion, character, power, and commentary all in one.There's the long honey-blonde crop she rocks in the phone booth—classic "sex symbol" vibes and we see everything from her an ode to Dorothy Dandridge, bantu knots, finger waves, a full-on Foxy Brown afro—it's a whiplash of transformations that, if you blink, you might miss one. Her hair becomes armor, a mask, a performance. And what's genius is that the wigs and styling reflect the emotional tone of each scene without her having to say a word.It also speaks to the fantasy that phone sex work sells. Every call, every client, is a role she steps into. And Theresa's ever-changing look mirrors that idea—who she is depends entirely on who's on the other end of the line and what they're paying for.Plus, let's give some flowers to the hairstyling team. There is not much information out there about who exactly was responsible. I tried to get in touch with Lisa Hazell, but could not reach her for an interview. The hair designs gave Theresa an entire visual vocabulary of Black femininity, expression, power, seduction, and identity.Theresa Randle played Judy, the lead role. Before this, Randle had appeared in supporting roles in Lee's "Jungle Fever" and "Malcolm X." Her performance as Judy marked her first leading role, showcasing her range and depth as an actress.And while a lot of this film wasn't exactly the norm for Spike, he still had a role, as he often does—but this time, it feels especially personal. He plays Judy's cousin and best friend, Jimmy, a comic book nerd obsessed with blaxploitation and sports memorabilia. It's sweet and totally feels like a little bit of an opportunity for Spike to get all his Brooklyn Dodgers gear into the production design. He's one of the only people in her life who doesn't sexualize Judy, who just wants to hang out and talk about old-school movies. It's giving Letterboxd boyfriend energy… uh if your boyfriend was your cousin and just wanted to debate Pam Grier films over pizza. Their friendship grounds the film, a reminder of who Judy is underneath all the wigs and roleplay.The opposite of Jimmy is Isaiah Washington's character—Judy's ex, known only as “Shoplifter.” And that name alone tells you everything. He's not even given the dignity of a real identity—just a label, a behavior, a red flag. He's controlling in the way so many men are: smiling, supportive on the surface, but constantly trying to reshape her into someone more manageable. He pushes her to get a “real job,” but what he really wants is her dependence. He wants her small.The tension between them is always there—quiet, but constant. And the way Spike shoots those scenes, you can feel the power imbalance. It's intimate, but it's not safe. These aren't just moments between two people with history. These are scenes about how easily women—especially Black women—are asked to compromise themselves in exchange for stability, approval, or love that's conditional.Both of these male characters exist to show us different versions of masculinity—Jimmy is supportive, if a little clueless, and Isaiah's character is the opposite: demanding, judgmental, and ultimately part of the reason Judy needs to reclaim her voice in the first place.The film is peppered with notable cameos, adding layers of meta-commentary. As mentioned previously, Quentin Tarantino appears as the self-absorbed director, and this collaboration, interestingly enough, occurred before the well-documented disagreements between Lee and Tarantino over the use of racial slurs in cinema.We also get Halle Berry, Debi Mazar, John Turturro, Ron Silver, John Cameron Mitchell, and Michael Imperioli giving their best, if not strangest, character acting bits to the film.Other notable appearances include Madonna as the competing strip club owner. She looked insanely good—possibly the best she's ever looked, and that's saying a lot for someone who literally invented iconic beauty in the 80s and 90s—and, of course, supermodel Naomi Campbell as a fellow phone sex operator, taking on a more demure and reserved role.Pete Travers at Rolling Stone called Girl 6 "the worst movie Spike Lee has ever made," one that "[resorts] to all-star cameos to disguise structural shortcomings." Still, I believe these cameos contribute to the film's commentary on fame, exploitation, and the blurred lines between reality and performance.The PRINCE SoundtrackI could never go without mentioning one of the film's most essential elements, being its soundtrack, composed entirely of songs by Prince. You can't say that about any other film outside of Purple Rain. The entire soundtrack is Prince. Yup. Not just a song or two—the whole thing. And it's not a greatest-hits situation either; We're talking deep cuts, unreleased tracks, B-sides, and songs he gave just to this movie. "She Spoke 2 Me"? Unreal. "Don't Talk 2 Strangers"? Are you kidding? These weren't just throwaways—he curated a whole vibe for Judy's world, and I can't even believe we aren't talking about this every day.Prince was famously selective about who he worked with, and it says a lot that he said yes to this film. You get the sense that he understood what the story was about—performance, femininity, identity, power. And that's all over his music, too. Prince elevates the whole damn film. That's the kind of creative alignment that doesn't happen often. Honestly, the Girl 6 soundtrack is one of the most slept-on parts of Prince's catalog—and of 90s cinema in general.How this happened still blows my mind and definitely leads me to believe that, aside from Spike distancing himself from the film, the complexity of continuing to secure rights to Prince's catalog may be why we haven't been able to stream the film. That's a whooooole other can of worms to dive into for another day…But I will get to the bottom of it.Girl 6's unique collaborations, themes, and the conversations it continues to inspire about representation, exploitation, and agency for Black women and in the entertainment industry are why it remains a fascinating entry in Spike Lee's filmography. Although its approach to these themes may have been clunky, convoluted—dare I say, disjointed—it's 1000% worth watching, studying, and taking the time to understand the story beyond traditional narrative form.Unless you own a VHS or DVD copy, it's a shame you can only find it for $100+ on eBay right now. Kelli and I mailed the DVD back and forth like it was 2006 to study and put this episode together.

Nick Giumenti (@nickgiumenti) joins me this week for a wide-ranging, honest, and reflective conversation about the journey of My Ticket Home, the band's recent return, and what really happened to the long-lost MTH album. We dig into the early grind of being underage on tour, the evolution of the music industry and evevoling relationship with it, better defining what we want and don't want in life, the evolution of MTH's sound, the cult-like-following "Strangers Only" gained over time, the difference in sound between that and their follow up "unReal", how the band found itself taking a break, and what it's like trying to define success as a creative today. Nick opens up about the personal growth that came during the band's hiatus, how his side project Headcave came to be, and what keeps us both creatively motivated in a world that doesn't always instantly reward risk or authenticity. From skipping high school graduation to play a concert, to rediscovering why making music still matters, recorded just days after MTH's return show in Columbus, OH, this one's full of life lessons, music industry talk, and finding that creative fire!

   The Royals have won three in a  row and it gives us a chance to move a trade war with China to the second half of the podcast.  We need all the good news Bobby Witt is delivering to brighten our day.  KC has a chance to bury the Twins the next two days.     The annual Masters Champions Dinner featured a guest that some believe is controversial.  Also, the tournament features its first set of twins competing.    Vegas odds say its a huge longshot for Stephen A. Smith to run for president.      The trade war with China is getting worse as both countries raise tariffs overnight.    A soccer coach of a 13 year old boy's team has been charged with murder.  He's an illegal alien and he's been arrested before and they've just let him walk until now.  Unreal.    Stephen Miller will brighten your day with sage words set to music, new polling shows nobody even knows what National Public Radio is and a California valedictorian is a free speech warrior.
