ACOFAE Podcast Proudly Presents: Showgirls x The Life of a Showgirl: "Men are usually the villain." If you've been a long time listener then you know that getting the movie Showgirls on the pod is a WIN for Laura Marie. Pairing it with a discussion about Taylor Swift's new album release, The Life of a Showgirl, is a match made in heaven for Jessica Marie! This being Jessica Marie's very first NC-17 film is a win for everyone and ACOFAE has so much to say. Kicking off the discussion with a full breakdown of the movie Showgirls, ACOFAE is in awe of the production. Sparking discussions about shedding child star image, internalized misogyny, and sexual freedom, the movie Showgirls is a spectacle for the eyes and for the brain. Taylor's discussion focuses on how women can't do anything right in the eyes of society, and that it seems to be that pain is rewarded instead of joy - and that joy makes women talentless. Join ACOFAE as they explore all of the storylines in both the movie and the album, and come to the conclusion that women just can't be happy without criticism.

NETFLIX WINS THE BIDDING WAR FOR WARNER BROS! Quentin Tarantino Trashes Paul Dano?! The Batman 2 Casting Rumors, Scarlett Johansson's MYSTERY Role, Stranger Things 5's Final Runtime, AND the Spider-Noir / Ben Reilly series?! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau dive into all the wild entertainment news of the week — from Tarantino's fiery comments about Paul Dano and the ongoing online debate, to whether Scarlett Johansson is joining Matt Reeves' The Batman Part II as Poison Ivy, Andrea Beaumont / Phantasm, or something completely unexpected. We break down what's real, what's rumored, and what actually makes sense inside the evolving Bat-universe with Robert Pattinson's Batman, Barry Keoghan's Joker, Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright's Gordon, Andy Serkis' Alfred & more. We also react to the brand-new update that Stranger Things Season 5 will feature a 2 hour and 5 minute runtime for the final episode — the most cinematic ending the Duffer Brothers have ever done. Who survives? Who dies? And how will the show wrap up Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike, Will, Hopper, Joyce, Dustin, Lucas, Max, Jonathan, Steve, Nancy & Robin's story?

They react to a study suggesting straight men may be gayer than they let on, weigh in on the debate around men dominating female spaces, unpack golden-child dynamics, pet cloning, hookup culture, and the wild phenomenon of fans diagnosing medical conditions from reality TV. Kiki opens up about her own journey with sexual fluidity, while Scheana shares a spicy story she left out of her book… Plus: why has Scheana seen Wicked: For Good three times?

Topic: The 1990 DC Comics miniseries World's Finest by Dave Gibbons and Steve Rood. Contextual Background of the 1990 World's Finest (02:51 - 05:34) The miniseries releases shortly after Crisis on Infinite Earths and John Byrne's Man of Steel reboot (1986). Post-Dark Knight Returns, Batman and Superman's relationship had changed, characterized by distance rather than camaraderie. ️ Plot Overview (05:34 - 08:14) Lex Luthor and Joker team up to take over Gotham and Metropolis with intertwined but largely separate schemes. Batman and Superman investigate, culminating in events involving an orphanage, a nuclear reactor, and city-wide explosions. Decompression and Story Structure Critique (08:14 - 11:34) Discussion of story pacing issues: The narrative is elongated with side elements (e.g., orphan kids) that do not cohesively tie in. Emphasis on character moments over tight plotting. Initial Impressions and Artistic Elements (11:34 - 17:59) Chris praises the visual storytelling and art, referencing the use of parallel imagery and distinctive flashback watercolor style. Noted the deliberate design choices to echo Silver Age and Max Fleischer era Superman and early Batman. ‍️ Characterization of Villains and Supporting Cast (17:59 - 30:39) Joker portrayed in a "zany," less menacing mode, more a prankster than murderously malicious. Lex Luthor features a robotic hand and operates like a mob boss, balancing businessman and villain traits. Character Dynamics and Relationships (30:39 - 40:21) Lois Lane and Bruce Wayne's interactions highlight mutual suspicion and gradual respect. Batman and Superman's knowledge of each other's secret identities is subtle initially, revealed more overtly in third issue. ️ Themes and Continuity Notes (40:21 - 50:27) Orphanage is a thematic midpoint between Gotham and Metropolis, symbolizing shared orphan backgrounds of Batman, Superman, and villain. The book emphasizes orphans and legacy but does not fully develop these thematic elements. Technical and Artistic Praise (50:27 - 52:58) Art and character design praised for classic yet fresh look; great use of tableau pages showing Gotham and Metropolis. Noted the Batmobile's stylish design and Batman's athletic, sleek physique. Character in Action: Batman and Superman (52:58 - 59:55) Batman characterized as efficient, brutal, and action-focused. His use of Batarangs and disguises recognized as authentic. Superman rendered as powerful but more grounded Burn era 'cop,' balancing investigative journalism and heroic strength. Artistic and Thematic Highlights (59:55 - 01:09:46) Memorable moments include Superman carrying a nuclear reactor into space to save Metropolis. Subtle details such as Clark Kent's mannerisms and investigative approach noted. Overall Assessment and Legacy (01:09:46 - 01:14:36) The miniseries serves as a valuable snapshot of Batman and Superman dynamics post-Crisis and pre-mid-90s crossovers. While the narrative is considered "vibes-over-story," the series offers essential character moments, iconic imagery, and era-specific continuity. Conclusion and Promotions (01:14:36 - 01:19:44) Guests share social media handles and podcast info. Hosts plug "Trade School" podcast and Certain POV Discord for further comic discussions.

Olivia Nuzzi is in the headlines again for an alleged inappropriate relationship with a source. Nuzzi's former partner, Ryan Lizza, is using his newsletter to make the claims about Nuzzi and…former Republican presidential candidate Mark Sanford in 2020. Lizza's ongoing, multi-part series about Nuzzi amid her book launch is an uncomfortable read for its florid prose and revenge porn vibes. Never forget: The New Yorker fired Lizza for unspecified sexual misconduct allegations in 2017, at the height of the #MeToo movement. Meanwhile, Lizza continues to target Nuzzi, who committed one of the most serious public ethical breaches in journalism with former Democratic-turned-independent presidential candidate and current Trump administration Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This week, Katelyn and Christine discuss the mess with Marisa Kabas, the acclaimed independent journalist who founded The Handbasket.

Doug Blair, conservative commentator and author of the Blair Broadcast Substack, joins The Steve Gruber Show to tackle a pressing and controversial topic: defending your home in a society where doing so can make you a public villain. Blair discusses the tension between personal safety, the rights of law-abiding citizens, and a justice system that critics argue sometimes seems to protect criminals over victims. The conversation explores the broader question of what civil society should look like if good people are penalized for protecting themselves and their families.

In the first of our latest Battleground history series Patrick Bishop and Roger Morehouse tackle Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the Nazi Germany commander revered by enemies for his "war without hate". Together they peel back the decades of mythology, challenging the image of Rommel as the "good German". How much did Rommel, who served as Hitler's personal security commander , know about the regime's atrocities? Was the positive postwar Western image of Rommel merely a convenient tool for rehabilitating Germany during the Cold War? Whilst Patrick and Roger deliver their verdict on Rommel's legacy.

How to talk to the Vengeful Martyr, Evasive Expert, Divisive Immortal, Hungry Shapeshifter, Righteous Bully, and The NothingIn this second part of the “Communicating with Villains” series, Kristina and Anna get very practical about how to actually talk to people who are running these archetypes, including when you are the one in the villain seat.They move from real stories about teeth, genetics, and breast health into concrete language, strategies, and “do not do this” warnings for each villain.This is the “how to handle them in real life” episode.In this episodeKristina and Anna explore:How the Vengeful Martyr shows up in health, caregiving, and self neglectWhy dental and breast health can become a mirror for martyrdomThe role of Divisive Immortal catastrophizing in medical decisions and safetyHow to make choices that are logical, not fear based, even around cancer riskHow to actually talk to:Evasive ExpertDivisive ImmortalHungry ShapeshifterRighteous BullyThe Nothing / Invisible DestroyerThey also name the difference between doing “self work” on your villain and learning to stay in relationship with someone else's.The Vengeful Martyr: health, teeth, and breast tissueAnna shares:How her “Vengeful Martyr era” lined up with sleep deprivation, breastfeeding, and her first major dental issuesThe realization that she invests in visible hygiene and beauty, while neglecting things no one sees, like gums, pap smears, and internal healthA concrete shift: flossing, water picking, changing dentists, and choosing a provider who does not shame herA genetic test that revealed increased risk for breast cancer and skin cancer, and her decision to act now rather than “martyr” herself by ignoring itWhy she is seriously considering prophylactic bilateral mastectomies as an act of self nourishment, not fearKristina reflects on:The symbolism of breasts as sources of nourishment and pleasure, and what it means to “retire” the functional side of them in order to care for the selfHow the Nourisher legend of the Vengeful Martyr is “drink while you pour,” and how that plays out in real bodies and real choicesThe overlap between Vengeful Martyr and Divisive Immortal when it comes to health, anxiety, and medical systemsDivisive Immortal: fear, loyalty, and catastropheThey unpack:How the Divisive Immortal can show up as catastrophizing doctors, shaming providers, and rigid ideas about safetyThe Enneagram 6 “loyal skeptic” flavor, and how loyalty plus fear becomes rigidityThe difference between making a logical preventive decision and making a fear based decisionHow two people can face the same medical risk but be activated in different villains, one in Vengeful Martyr, one in Divisive ImmortalCommunication tips for Divisive Immortal:Avoid “us versus them” language and triangulationEmphasize “you and me versus the problem”Reassure safety and solidaritySay things like:“I feel the fear you are feeling, and I understand it”“I am not your enemy, we are on the same team”“Our relationship is bigger than this argument”Evasive Expert: logic, avoidance, and emotional shutdownFor the Evasive Expert, Kristina and Anna cover:How they over rely on logic and under express emotion, or explode when emotion finally leaks outClassic tells: “I do not know how I feel,” or answering questions with cerebral analysisWhy approaching them with pure emotion makes them disappearCommunication tips for Evasive Expert:Lead with logic, not dramaPresent the impact as a logical chain: “A and B happened, which led to C and D, can you see why I might be upset”Use “logic puzzles” to pierce the emotional shellIn full blow up mode, give them time to process, then return with calm, structured reasoningHungry Shapeshifter: attention, performance, and multiplicityFor the Hungry Shapeshifter, they discuss:The need for attention, lightness, and performanceHow calling out their shifting identities can feel humiliating, not helpfulWhy dramatic outbursts are often releases, not always indicators of deep relational ruptureCommunication tips for Hungry Shapeshifter:Let them perform, be the audience rather than the critic in the momentNotice patterns over time, not just one dramatic sceneWhen they are calm and grounded, take them more seriously than in full performance modeInvite coherence by asking, “Which part of you feels most true right now”Righteous Bully: conviction, protection, and curiosityFor the Righteous Bully, Anna shares how working this arc has changed what even triggers her, and why things that used to set her off no longer land.They cover:The intensity and danger of the Righteous Bully when they have reached their limitHow they will burn things down to protect what they love or believe inThe shift from externalized bullying to internalized self criticismCommunication tips for Righteous Bully:Be deeply curious, not defensiveReflect their point of view back accurately so they feel heardUse permissive language:“Would you be open to hearing my perspective”“My love for you is bigger than this disagreement”Do not try to tell them they are wrong in the heat of the moment, it only adds fuelLater, you decide whether you want a Righteous Bully in your life, even a more integrated oneThe Nothing / Invisible Destroyer: avoidance, presence, and tiny actionsFor The Nothing, they highlight:Question deflection, disappearing into thought, and vanishing from shared spacesDeep sensitivity to rejection and criticismDifficulty taking action, even when they intellectually understand the issueCommunication tips for The Nothing:Name and value their presence: “It means so much just having you in the room with me”Invite tiny actions, “Can we take one small step toward this together”Use humor and embodiment practices to bring them back into their bodiesUse the compliment–criticism–compliment “sandwich” if feedback is neededWhen they disappear after a big top, lure them back with low pressure, body doubling, and no heavy processing at firstAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Lakers closed out the homestand with a Monday night tilt against the Phoenix Suns. And despite Devin Booker leaving the game for Phoenix after just ten minutes, and Luka Doncic (38 points, 11 rebounds, 9 turnovers) scoring big numbers again in the first, the Lakers collapsed going into the half and never recovered as the Suns' Dillon "The Villain" Brooks (33 points) and Collin Gillespie (28 points, 8-14 from 3) keyed their team that caused 22 turnovers and shot 57% from the field (44% from 3) as they routed LA 125-108 to snap the Lakers seven game win streak. Tune in as the guys from the LFB share thoughts on how the team looked in this second game of a back-to-back, and what's up ahead for the team as they start out on a road trip later this week.

Here we take a good look at that most critical piece of the game, the Encounter Sets.

How do you see yourself? Do you ever feel like a villain, like everything is your fault? Do you ever feel like a victim, overwhelmed and powerless to change your life? Do you ever feel like a hero, as if you have to succeed because the whole world is depending on you? Today, we're talking about how to see yourself accurately and understand yourself better through three lenses: your villain story, your victim story, and your hero story. These categories are inspired by “The Karpman Drama Triangle” by Dr. Stephen B. Karpman. The original drama triangle describes common patterns in dysfunctional relationships.

Thank you everyone who attended our panel, had awesome questions, and fantastic discussion after our presentation. Life Legally After Being the Villain in Star Wars Crosshair, Alexsandr Kallus, Barriss Offee, and Asajj Ventress, are all former villains who abandoned being the “bad guy.” Are they forgiven for their crimes? How is their status as former Imperial or Separatists handled legally? Kallus committed war crimes on Lasats. Is he forgiven for genocide because he joined the Rebellion? Barriss Offee committed acts of terrorism, became an Inquisitor, and then abandoned the Empire to become a healer. Is she forgiven? Crosshair enacted brutal attacks on behalf of the Empire and deserted after seeing Imperial cruelty to his fellow clones. Is Crosshair forgiven for those he killed?
