Marvel is laying out its future after Avengers: Armageddon, with a new Avengers series from Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto, Maximum X-Men, Eddie Brock reuniting with Venom, new books for Mary Jane Watson and Spider-Woman, and several other major announcements. This week I break down what Marvel's post-Armageddon direction could mean, along with DC launching new ongoing series for Vixen, Static and Steel, the continued expansion of the Absolute Universe, and Terminal #1 reportedly selling 300,000 copies before taking the top spot on the Prana Bestseller list. I also cover the biggest announcements from Image, Skybound, Dark Horse, IDW, Oni Press, Archie, BOOM! Studios, Mad Cave, Ignition Press and San Diego Comic-Con, along with this week's hottest books, two weeks of Prana Top 10 Best Sellers, and the biggest Final Order Cutoff recommendations for August 3. https://linktr.ee/thecomicsource   00:00 Marvel, DC & Terminal Headlines 01:05 Intro and SDCC Catch-Up 04:12 Marvel After Avengers: Armageddon 16:10 Midnight Universe, WEBTOON & Manga 23:22 Spider-Woman, Indiana Jones & Mangaverse 26:26 Muppets, Stormbreakers & Marvel Masterworks 30:57 DC News — Vixen, Static & Steel 36:11 Batman, Gotham & DC Next Level 44:04 The Absolute Universe Expands 54:02 Image Comics & Skybound 01:00:06 Terminal, Battle Beast & Savage Dragon 01:07:58 Dark Horse Comics 01:13:43 IDW & Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 01:17:15 Oni Press & Archie Comics 01:19:32 BOOM!, Mad Cave & Ignition Press 01:27:19 Bill Sienkiewicz Documentary & Eisner Awards 01:32:03 The Warbird Movie Rumor 01:34:36 What Hit 01:37:54 Prana Top 10 — July 15 01:43:30 Prana Top 10 — July 22 01:47:56 Final Order Cutoff 01:55:24 Closing & Comic Source Weekly Shirts   News Sources Marvel https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/maximum-x-men-assemble-avengers-armageddon-aftermath-december-2026 https://www.marvel.com/articles/live-events/sdcc-2026-san-diego-comic-con-all-the-marvel-news-recap https://bleedingcool.com/comics/chip-zdarsky-marco-checchetto-launch-avengers-1-ahead-of-doomsday/ https://bleedingcool.com/comics/the-punisher-will-join-marvels-avengers-in-the-wake-of-armageddon/ https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/friendly-neighborhood-mary-jane-and-venom-new-comic-series-queen-in-black-aftermath https://bleedingcool.com/comics/spider-woman-ongoing-marvel-series-by-dan-watters-andrea-broccardo/ https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/indiana-jones-and-the-sword-of-pandemonium-bold-new-era-marvel-comics-december-2026 https://aiptcomics.com/2026/07/30/marvel-webtoon/ https://bleedingcool.com/comics/marvel-comics-launch-a-new-manga-line-in-japan-with-kadokawa-for-2026/ https://aiptcomics.com/2026/07/31/marvel-first-look-marvel-mangaverse-web-of-blood-ghostlock/ https://aiptcomics.com/2026/07/31/marvel-50-years-the-muppet-show-covers/ https://aiptcomics.com/2026/07/31/marvel-autumn-fall-stormbreakers-variant-covers/ https://bleedingcool.com/comics/the-first-new-marvel-masterworks-books-from-clover-press-revealed/ DC https://bleedingcool.com/comics/deniz-camp-reveals-details-of-upcoming-batman-shadow-of-the-bat/ https://www.comicsbeat.com/sdcc-26-dc-announces-absolute-black-canary-and-beyond-ark-m-one-shots-at-absolute-universe-panel/ Image Comics and Skybound https://imagecomics.com/press-releases/rob-liefelds-highly-anticipated-avengelyne-comic-book-set-to-launch-this-october-series-already-in-pre-production-for-adaptation https://www.comicsbeat.com/sdcc-26-robert-kirkman-talks-terminal-invincible-and-transformers-in-robert-kirkman-live/ https://www.comicsbeat.com/sdcc-26-sanford-greene-announces-bitter-root-black-white/ https://imagecomics.com/press-releases/scott-snyder-jocks-horror-masterpiece-gets-expanded-remastered-wytches-vol-1-pledged-edition-this-fall-ahead-of-tv-show-adaptation https://imagecomics.com/press-releases/jaw-dropping-savage-dragon-281-sells-out-at-distributor-instantly-rushed-back-to-print-this-week https://www.comicsbeat.com/sdcc-26-image-unleashes-its-artists-for-a-frank-panel-discussion/ Dark Horse, IDW, Oni and Independents https://www.darkhorse.com/newsfeed/dark-horse-books-presents-stranger-things-the-first-shadow/ https://www.comicsbeat.com/dark-horse-dnd-ongoing/ https://www.comicsbeat.com/sdcc-26-dark-horse-mattel-barbie-comics/ https://www.comicsbeat.com/digest-072326/ Ignition Press, Awards and Industry https://bleedingcool.com/comics/ignition-pavilion-packs-in-five-times-the-capacity-of-hall-h-at-sdcc/ https://bleedingcool.com/comics/2026-eisner-award-winners-announced-at-sdcc/ https://bleedingcool.com/comics/would-keanu-reeves-play-the-lead-in-a-bad-idea-comics-warbird-movie/ https://bleedingcool.com/comics/produce-this-last-nights-bad-idea-comics-san-diego-comic-con-party/ https://www.comicsbeat.com/bad-idea-warbird/

This week, the Pop Culture Historians tackle a movie so big, we needed a third to help us out! Katie Stebbins joins us to break down SPIDER-MAN 3, a much-maligned movie that still has a lot to offer (beautiful performances from Kirsten Dunst and Thomas Hayden Church), even when it's deeply weird (all the Venom stuff). Is the pie still so good? Listen and find out!

Read transcriptLet's talk about Spider-Man 3, the movie where Sam Raimi looked at “menacing single antagonist” and said no thank you, I would like three, please, and also I would like Peter Parker to dance down the street like he's auditioning for a jazz-hands cult. It's a movie that tried to do everything, mostly succeeded at doing too much, and somehow still made enough money that Activision looked at it and thought: yes, this deserves not one video game, but two, spread across seven different consoles, so that literally nobody in 2007 could escape it. Ambitious! Chaotic! Extremely on brand for the source material! See, there's the fancy version, built by Treyarch for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, where you get a whole open Manhattan to swing around in and the black suit shows up only when the story deems you emotionally ready for it, very mature, very earned. And then there's the completely different budget cousin, built by Vicarious Visions for PS2, Wii, PSP, GBA, and DS, where you can slap the black suit on whenever you feel like being a jerk, the Wii Remote gets to pretend it's a web-shooter, and the DS throws the D-pad in the trash entirely so you can beat up Sandman by poking a touchscreen like it owes you money. Same cover art. Same villains. Practically strangers. Swinging in to help me sort out how many wildly different versions of one questionable movie a single franchise can generate is Harry Steele, co-host of Games on Film, the podcast where he and his brother Rory spend their days grading movies based on video games! Which means Harry has built an entire professional skillset around asking “did Hollywood mess this up,” and today, for one glorious episode, we get to point that same energy directly back at a video game and ask if it managed to mess up the movie right back. Poetic justice! Content symmetry! Whatever you want to call it, it's happening! So grab whichever suit you're feeling today, pick a console, any console, apparently they all made their own decisions, and let's find out if the Spider-Man 3 games handled three villains and seven platforms with any more finesse than the movie handled three villains and one dance number. Learn such things as: How similar do games have to be in order to have the same title? Do movie tie in games really need to care about what happened in the movie? Isn't Spidey supposed to have friends? And so much more! You can find Harry on BlueSky @onlymanwhocan and of course his podcast Games on Film.

We go back to the Crawlspace archives for this 2008 interview with writer David Michelinie. He had one of the longest run on Amazing Spider-Man. He co-created Venom and Carnage. He also worked with artist Todd McFarlane, Erik Larsen and Mark Bagley in the 1980s and 1990s. Before tackling Spider-Man he had an incredible run on Iron Man. He gave Tony Stark a drinking problem and a best friend in Jim Rhodes.  Are you a Crawlspace patreon member?

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has said he's holding out hope that Spider-Man and Venom will one day have their long-awaited crossover in the MCU; Final Fantasy 7 Revelation may not have a physical edition, but the director of the game is actively pushing to avoid that.

“How many people do you think go into a bar and say: ‘I'd like an Everclear on the rocks, please…'?”   Looking back, 1997 seems utterly surreal…   To put things in perspective, 1997 marked the debut of South Park on Comedy Central, the release of Radiohead's breakthrough, third album, OK Computer, the beginning of the final season of Seinfeld, and (of course) the arrival of Metallica's conclusion to The Loads with Reload.   Perhaps one of the most surreal (and tragic) parts of 1997 was the time a bunch of children in a band called Hanson went viral with a song called MMMBop while a lesser known, criminally underrated, and FAR SUPERIOR band (with an extremely similar sounding name, consisting of former members of Helmet & Quicksand) called Handsome released their one (and only) album, Handsome, earlier that same year.     Sometimes life is just too weird and utterly unfair…   It's time to discover the power of “a better magical piece of paper” that is not a college degree and understand that whenever someone uses the term ‘dating' that “we know exactly what they're talking about”.    Find out who “stayed metal the whole time”, who was “chuggin' the D”, and who wasn't going to metal shows “unless it was Metallica” when you JOIN US as we go back in time almost 30 years with THE CLASS OF 1997.

This week, Tommy is joined by actor Michael Mando who is finally returning to the MCU as Scorpion in Spiderman: Brand New Day. You may know Michael from his unforgettable performances as Nacho Varga in Better Call Saul and Far Cry 3, but he is picking up the pieces from his cameo in Spiderman: Homecoming and returning to the role of Mac Gargan/Scorpion in what has been a highly anticipated return. Today, Michael opens up about if he knew he would be returning back to the MCU when he signed on to play Scorpion almost 10 years ago, that scene of his cut from Spiderman: Homecoming, the moment that Scorpion made him feel petrified, what playing a villain in the MCU means to him, why he loved working with Tom Holland, what it was like watching him transform into Spiderman up close, the training involved in playing Scorpion, why community is so important when filming a movie like this, if he’s heard anything about Scorpion eventually turning into Venom, his personal connection to Venom as both a kid and adult, voicing Bane in Batman: Knightfall - Part 1, how he helped shape the actual animation of this character, joining Kevin Hart in 72 Hours on Netflix, his unconventional journey towards becoming an actor, if he would reprise his role in a Better Call Saul reboot, why rejection has fueled him even harder over the years, what he will never say to you and so much more.

In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, Scott and LaRae Wright sit down for a short, intimate conversation about prayer—not as a rule-bound ritual, but as a living practice shaped by words, intention, gratitude, and alignment. They unpack how prayer can evolve beyond fear-based asking, and why the language we use—internally and out loud—can land as either medicine or venom. If you've ever felt conflicted about prayer, spirituality, or how to “talk to the Divine,” this episode offers a grounded reframe you can actually use.Timestamps[00:00:18] Scott introduces the topic: prayer (and why this conversation may surprise you)[00:01:20] Setting the scene: a quiet Sunday afternoon, post–Valentine's Day reflections[00:04:39] Scott shares a moment from his men's group that sparked this episode[00:08:39] What prayer meant growing up: structure, habit, and fear-based “asking”[00:10:07] When prayer feels like a ritual—or a task—instead of communication[00:13:30] Reframing prayer: intention, energy, and how words shape experience[00:19:34] Gratitude as a shared frequency: how prayer can create resonance[00:20:58] Scott reads a prayer that shifted his relationship with “prayer language”[00:24:39] “Toxic positivity”: when words sound good but aren't aligned underneath[00:29:20] The line that hits: “no venom passes my lips” and why it matters[00:30:16] Venom as poison: what words can do once they're released[00:34:46] Emotional regulation, balance, and not getting stuck in heavy energy[00:39:05] Closing takeaway: your words are either venom or medicineNotable Quotes“It felt more like a ritual or maybe a task. Task that I had to do.” – Scott Wright [10:07]“Well, it creates a resonance like a song would. Those words create a resonance.” – LaRae Wright [19:48]“So no venom passes my lips and no destruction results from my speech.” – Scott Wright [21:50]“That venom is like poison. It's not retractable.” – Scott Wright [30:16]“Just everyone pay attention to your words. Pay attention to whether they are venom or medicine.” – Scott Wright [39:05]Relevant links:Subscribe to the podcast: Apple PodcastProduced by NC Productions

Episode 2330 - Kid and El Pres open with a viral story about a female pastor allegedly offering an extremely hands-on form of spiritual cleansing. Naturally, this inspires more interest in church attendance than either man has shown in years. From there, the conversation wanders into Pete Davidson, parental grief, bars as strange rooms where strangers repeatedly buy drinks, and Kid's absolute hatred of line dancing. His scientific breakthrough: slap Benny Hill-style chase music over any line-dancing video and it syncs perfectly, no matter where you start it. Hat Trick arrives with an important design challenge—what belongs beneath her boobs? The proposed tattoo concepts range from delicate floral geometry to a Mad Magazine-style fold-in that reveals Kid's face when the cleavage closes. This quickly becomes the least strange attraction discussed, because Hat Trick introduces her "hear me out" list: Gritty, Venom, Scar, the dragon from Shrek, Puss in Boots, Gill from Finding Nemo, and other characters that require both an explanation and possibly a licensed professional. The distinction is established: Jessica Rabbit doesn't count because everybody already understands. A true "hear me out" should make the room stop, stare, and reluctantly request supporting evidence. The show also checks in on Hat Trick's fireman situation, including a smoke-shortened camping trip, a heroic amount of sex, the hazards of being on top too often, and the revelation that a little extra belly can function as an "added feature." Beneath all the filth is an actual conversation about catching feelings, old relationship damage, ruined plans, emotional boundaries, and the difficulty of pretending a daily connection is still casual just because nobody has upgraded the label. Elsewhere, the crew covers hot people farting in elevators, bodily-function etiquette, "extra creamy" compliments, the looming threat of droopy balls, and Kid's personal rules against back titties and multiple chins. Hat Trick counts threesomes, Kid prepares for the exhausting public service of researching "Guess Her Muff," and everyone meets Jimothy—a short-spined raccoon shaped like an escaped Squishmallow. The mood briefly turns anxious when Kid reveals his cat has disappeared somewhere in or around the house, but the episode ends with Jimothy worship, "hear me out" homework for the listeners, and the promise of more questionable visual research.

Ben and Rob shoot their webs all over 2007 to dissect the $258 million fever dream that is Sam Raimi's Spider Man 3, the movie that had four villains, a jazz club, an emo dance number, and somehow still wasn't the strangest thing Sam Raimi did that decade.We trace the making of this notoriously overstuffed threequel, from studio pressure to cramming in Venom, to Topher Grace's freakish, some may say gimpy, get up, to the reshoots and the runtime battles. Starring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Topher Grace and Thomas Haden Church, Spider Man 3 follows Peter Parker as fame goes to his head, an alien goo goes to his hair, and Harry, Eddie and Flint Marko all queue up to ruin his week.Behind-the-scenes facts, the movie's "logic" (we use that word generously), and the eternal question of how a man can walk down the street snapping his fingers and still be the scariest version of himself in the entire franchise.

Tim and Frank take on a deceptively simple question: is Spider-Man actually a street-level superhero? What starts as a debate about subgenres turns into a much bigger conversation — about tone, stakes, and whether the label helps or hurts a character when your hero is literally swinging above the street.

Episode 1006 uses the beloved 1990 teen rebellion movie "Pump Up the Volume" to ask a deeper question: what happens when you take "Truth is a virus" and unrestricted free speech into the real world, where the fascists aren't outsiders trying to break in—they're already running the show? Driftglass and Blue Gal trace the death of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 through the rise of Hate Radio, Gingrich's language wars, Citizens United, and the collapse of every institution that was supposed to protect democracy from tyranny. The episode explains why lying became profitable, why corporate media's "Both Sides" obsession taught citizens that democracy was somebody else's job, and why an uninformed public is the only thing tyranny has ever needed. It's about how free speech got inverted, and why the FCC villain in a 1990 teen movie may have been onto something after all.Links for this episode: The movie “Pump Up The Volume” (1990) is streaming ($) on Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, and Fandango At Home.  Clips are available on YouTube.  Music from the “Pump Up The Volume” soundtrack can be found at this YouTube playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjDvaXwceFJTg_uhw4cymaJGtBdJZT7OJ&si=RxUS9h7X1OeGsbY2 Music clips from this episode: Was Not Was:  Dad, I'm In Jail   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MZKkz4xefk Above the Law: Freedom of Speech  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q338zPrnwGw The movie “Pump Up The Volume” (1990) is streaming ($) on Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, and Fandango At Home.  Clips are available on YouTube.  Driftglass on other podcasts!   Nicole Sandler   https://nicolesandler.com/7-8-26/ Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Welcome to Day 2900 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2900 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 140:1-13 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2900 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2900 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: Shielded from the Serpent's Venom – The Cosmic Courtroom of King Yahweh In our previous expeditions through the majestic heights of the Book of Psalms, we rested in the transcendent sanctuary of Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Nine. We marveled at the staggering, intimate reality of God's complete omniscience and omnipresence, celebrating how He meticulously knit us together in the secret places of the earth, and how His protective hand continuously hems us in from behind and before. But as we step onto a brand-new mountain pass today, moving directly into Psalm One Hundred Forty, verses one through thirteen, the spiritual scenery shifts with dramatic, jarring intensity. We are descending from the quiet, beautiful mountaintop of divine contemplation, straight into the muddy, dangerous trenches of earthly and cosmic warfare. David reminds us quite vividly that while we are perfectly known and perfectly secure in the eyes of our Creator, we still must navigate a deeply broken, highly hostile wilderness, populated by those who actively align themselves with the forces of chaos and destruction. The first segment is:The Venom of Deception: Verbal Warfare in the Cosmic Realm Let us open our ears to the opening movements of this desperate prayer, as recorded in the New Living Translation, grouping together the logical thoughts found in verse one, verse two, and verse three. O Lord, rescue me from evil people. Protect me from those who are violent. Those who plot evil in their hearts and stir up trouble all day long. Their tongues sting like a snake; the venom of a viper drips from their lips. In this opening cry, David wastes absolutely no time exposing the terrifying nature of the adversaries who have surrounded his life. He pleads, “O Lord, rescue me from evil people. Protect me from those who are violent.” But notice carefully how David defines this violence; he does not immediately point to unsheathed swords, or marching infantries. Instead, he unmasks the internal architecture of their malice, explaining that they plot evil in their hearts, stir up trouble all day long, and weaponize their words, making their tongues sting like a snake, while the venom of a viper drips from their lips. To fully appreciate the gravity of these verses, we must view them through the fascinating lens of the Ancient Israelite divine-council worldview. In the ancient Near East, words were never viewed as merely empty acoustic vibrations floating harmlessly through the air. Words were seen as potent, concrete extensions of spiritual reality, possessing the power to either bless and uphold cosmic order, or curse and unleash primordial chaos. When David describes his enemies as plotting evil in their hidden hearts, he is revealing that they are operating as human agents for the rebellious, unseen spiritual principalities who rule the dark corners of the globe. Furthermore, the striking imagery of the snake and the viper's venom carries a massive theological echo. It deliberately transports the ancient Israelite mind all the way back to the garden of Eden, back to the nachash—the deceptive, shining serpent who was a rebellious member of God's heavenly host. That original spiritual rebel did not overthrow humanity through physical violence; he overthrew humanity through the subtle, poisonous corruption of his words, whispering deceptive lies that fractured the cosmic order of Yahweh. David is declaring that the wicked people surrounding him are speaking the native, venomous language of the serpent, attempting to inject spiritual poison into the social, political, and spiritual life of God's covenant community. The second segment is: Hidden Snares Along the Trail: The Strategy of the Proud The narrative of David's struggle continues to unfold as he links his logical thoughts together in verse four and verse five, mapping out the covert operations of his predators. O Lord, keep me out of the hands of the wicked. Protect me from those who are violent, for they are plotting against me. These proud people have set a trap to catch me. They have stretched out a net along the pathway and spread traps in my path. David intensifies his petition, crying out, “O Lord, keep me out of the hands of the wicked. Protect me from those who are violent, for they are plotting against me.” He then uses the vivid vocabulary of an ancient wilderness hunter, describing how these proud people have set a trap, stretched out a massive net along the pathway, and spread hidden snares directly in his path. This section beautifully illustrates the treacherous nature of our spiritual and earthly journey. Our adversaries rarely launch their assaults out in the open where they can be easily anticipated. Instead, like a calculated hunter tracking prey through the brush, they rely on covert manipulation, gaslighting, and invisible entrapment. They wait until we are walking along our normal, daily pathway, and then they attempt to trip us into a compromise, or trap us in a web of false accusations. Notice that David specifically identifies these engineers of chaos as “proud people.” In the biblical worldview, pride is not just a psychological trait; it is a profound cosmic posture. To be proud means to actively refuse to submit to the sovereign rule of Yahweh, mimicking the original pride of the fallen cosmic rulers who erroneously believed they could usurp the authority of the Most High. These proud human adversaries set traps for David because they believe they can successfully operate outside of God's moral boundaries, tracking down and devouring the righteous without ever being held accountable by the cosmic court of heaven. The third segment is: Appealing to the Supreme Magistrate of Heaven Faced with venomous lips and hidden nets, David does not attempt to fight fire with fire, nor does he rely on his own military strategic brilliance. Instead, he enters the celestial courtroom, combining his urgent thoughts in verse six, verse seven, and verse eight. I said to the Lord, “You are my God!” Listen, O Lord, to my cries for mercy! O Sovereign Lord, the strong one who rescued me, you protected me on the day of battle. Lord, do not give in to their evil desires. Do not let their evil plots succeed, or they will become proud. David plants his feet firmly on covenant ground, declaring directly to the Almighty, “You are my God! Listen, O Lord, to my cries for mercy!” He appeals to Him as the Sovereign Lord, the strong one who rescued him, and the one who served as a protective helmet over his head on the day of intense battle. He begs the King, “Lord, do not give in to their evil desires. Do not let their evil plots succeed, or they will become proud.” This is a breathtaking masterclass in spiritual legal procedure. In the ancient world, when a weaker vassal was attacked by a hostile, lawless force, his only hope was to appeal to his high suzerain—the great king who had sworn a covenant oath to protect him. David bypasses all localized earthly authorities and goes straight to the ultimate Judge of the divine council. He uses the specific, sacred names of God—Yahweh and Adonai—reminding the Creator of their unique, binding relationship. By calling God “the strong one who rescued me,” David is looking backward at his historical track record of deliverance, recalling how Yahweh previously protected his head from the physical and spiritual arrows of his enemies on the field of conflict. David knows that if the Sovereign Lord allows these deceptive, serpentine plots to succeed, it will cause these wicked people—and the rebel spiritual powers backing them—to boast that they have successfully outmaneuvered the cosmic King. Therefore, David's prayer is not merely a plea for personal survival; it is an appeal for the public vindication of God's supreme authority over the forces of lawlessness. The fourth segment is: The Law of Reciprocity: Chaos Devouring Itself The psalm now transitions into an incredibly intense, imprecatory phase, where David outlines the divine retribution he desires to see fall upon his tormentors. Let us listen to these heavy words in...

Or at the very least an insight into the nature of that which promotes it? When you look up Gilmore Girls, it's described as "Self-reliant single mother," and "Fiercely independent single mom Lorelai raises gifted Ivy League-bound daughter..." What's the Saturn cult, family destroying message here once again? It's that single mothers are far better off without the husband/father, and by extension, so-too is the child or children. The male is removed. His role deleted, downplayed, mocked, disrespected, and ignored. The male is the protector, the first line of defense against physical harm, mental manipulation, abduction, poor choices, and he acts as the voice of reason that cuts through emotionally charged storm clouds of the feminine thought process. Removing him creates a vulnerability for the wicked to exploit and manipulate. Societal weakness occurs when roles are confused or all together ejected from the natural, balanced equation. Feminism is a weapon wielded by a subversive cult that hates all that makes you strong, and operates tirelessly to erode and break the familial bonds that create self-reliant and healthy civilizations.Have you seen the level of wasting away that so-called celebrities are displaying without any discernable concern for their own health and well-being? It's almost as if they're turning the effects of starvation into a pop culture fad. They're training the population to accept the horrible results of malnourishment by cramming it through the lens of aesthetic appeal. Why do you think they, the neo-Bolsheviks, would want to normalize such a gaunt and horrifying look? They wouldn't happen to have a long history of starving millions of people to death almost as a hallmark or signature of their presence and handywork, would they?New Channel on YT:https://www.youtube.com/@WisdomFitnessAZJoin Dr. Glidden's Membership site here:https://leavebigpharmabehind.com/?via=pgndhealth⁠Use Code: baalbusters for 25% OFFMake Dr. Glidden Your DoctorUse Code BB5 here for your 90 Essential Nutrients:https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/brand/azurewell/2326The Azure Whole Food Essential Nutrients are 1.

What was the starting point for you, and what did you want to understand or say about that impulse? Rodney feels like a very grounded, human entry point into a story that quickly spirals into something much bigger. How did you approach building him so readers stay with him even as things get more extreme? There's a real balance here between empathy and critique. You can understand why these characters believe what they do, even as things go off the rails. How do you walk that line without judging them or letting them off the hook? The preview pages have some striking bits of philosophy, like “the secret to happiness is low expectations.” How do those ideas emerge for you, and are they things you believe or more reflections of the characters' mindset? The idea that “where you are is who you are” feels especially loaded, almost like a commentary on class, fate, and identity. Was that always baked into the concept, or did it grow as you developed the story? When we glimpse the alien world, it feels almost overwhelming, with that massive eye and the intense color palette. What were your conversations like with Russ Braun in shaping how that world should feel versus how the “real” world reads? You've done a lot of satire, but this feels like it leans harder into psychological and emotional territory. Did this project push you in new directions as a writer? AHOY has built a reputation on smart, risk-taking books, and this is their first Kickstarter. How does that format change how you think about the book, if at all? The story seems to ask whether there's something real behind the visions or if belief itself is the point. How important was it to keep that tension alive rather than give clear answers? Fun one to close: If you started having Rodney's dreams tonight, what's the first sign you'd think, “Okay, I might actually be starting a cult”?

In this episode, Dr. Jenkins sits down with legendary herpetologist Romulus Whitaker to explore a life that has been anything but ordinary. Raised in the United States, educated in India, and mentored by famed snake handler Bill Haast, Rom followed his passion for reptiles across continents and cultures before returning to India to help transform wildlife conservation in the country. Over the past five decades, Rom has founded and helped build some of India's most influential conservation organizations, including a snake park, a crocodile conservation center, and a pioneering venom extraction program operated by members of a local Indigenous community. Along the way, he has handled countless snakes and crocodiles, survived remarkable adventures, and played a central role in changing how people view and conserve reptiles. Read Rom's biography, and be sure to check out The Madras Crocodile Bank Trust, The Agumbe Rainforest Research Station, The King Cobra Conservancy, and the Global Snakebite Initiative.
