From Gainesville to Orlando, cities are being forced to erase symbols of remembrance and diversity under threat of losing funding.

Is Defending Rainbow Crosswalks Really Making Me a RINO, a Marxist, a Fascist, a Leftist?

Labeled everything from fascist to Marxist, Peter argues this fight is not about paint but about liberty, constitutional rights, and government overreach. When memorials and community-funded projects are erased under the guise of “safety,” the real question is exposed: who has forgotten what liberty truly means?#GoRight, #PeterBoykin, #PulseMemorial, #RainbowCrosswalk, #FloridaPolitics, #DeSantis, #StopTheErasure, #ProtectMemorials, #VisibilityMatters, #DefendLiberty, #LocalControl, #ConstitutionalRights, #CommunityOverPolitics, #LibertyNotBlandness, #PoliticalHypocrisyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/goright-with-peter-boykin-gorightnews-com--3096608/support.

On episode 115 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the next film in their Yasujirō Ozu series, Early Summer (1951). Coming off of seeing and discussing Late Spring, the boys dive deep into the next evolution of a similar story for Ozu, about a family changing their culture post-WWII. In Early Summer, it is less so about a woman not wanting to leave her father for a new life with a husband, but more so about a young girl choosing the match for herself that she wants rather than the set life her family arranged for her, causing strife within her family. Hilarious, insightful, and heartwarming, Ozu's evolution as a storyteller grows stronger and stronger with each project, leading up to next week's masterpiece with Tokyo Story. Ryan and Jay break down their thoughts on the film, the expanded scope of this story, if it's as emotionally relevant to them as Late Spring, early football predictions from the guys as well as what would Ozu have served at a Super Bowl party, and more. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h49m.

Veteran Arrested After Burning Flag — Patriot or Criminal?A combat veteran lit the American flag on fire outside the White House just hours after President Trump signed his executive order on flag desecration. The arrest sparked outrage and a constitutional showdown over patriotism, free speech, and the limits of presidential power. In this episode of #GoRight with Peter Boykin, we break down Trump's push to enforce respect for the flag, the Supreme Court's rulings that protect flag burning as symbolic speech, and the deeper question: can America endure division without burning down the very foundation that unites us?https://rumble.com/v6ykzxe-veteran-arrested-after-burning-flag-patriot-or-criminal.htmlhttps://youtu.be/iV9EVBz6iA8?si=L2Nj2R8XP49Hn83Xhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/vid-20250906-121743-699--67655557https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6vD5uh2/https://gorightnews.com/veteran-arrested-for-flag-burning-near-white-house-after-trumps-executive-order/#GoRight, #PeterBoykin, #GoRightNews, #FlagBurning, #FreeSpeech, #FirstAmendment, #VeteranProtest, #TrumpOrder, #ConstitutionalRepublic, #LibertyOrOrder, #SymbolVsSpeech, #ProtectTheFlag, #UnitedWeStand, #AmericaFirst, #JusticeScalia, #PatriotOrCriminal, #LibertyUnderFire, #StandForAmerica, #PoliticalTheater, #ViralNewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/goright-with-peter-boykin-gorightnews-com--3096608/support.

They Listened and Cracker Barrel Restored Its Logo After the Outrage, But Is It Too Late?Cracker Barrel thought modernization would save it. Instead, a $700 million redesign erased its iconic Old Timer logo and nearly destroyed customer trust. Outrage was swift, and Wall Street punished the gamble. After doubling down, the company finally reversed course, bringing the Old Timer back. But is it too late to repair the damage? In this episode of #GoRight with Peter Boykin, we delve into Cracker Barrel's “New Coke moment,” the bipartisan backlash it sparked, and what it reveals about nostalgia, heritage, and the American soul.https://rumble.com/v6yhmaa-they-listened-and-cracker-barrel-restored-its-logo-after-the-outrage-but-is.htmlhttps://youtu.be/d2v2SIMDlNwhttps://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6WPVRBq/https://www.spreaker.com/episode/they-listened-and-cracker-barrel-restored-its-logo-after-outrage-but-is-it-too-late--67631765https://gorightnews.com/did-cracker-barrel-kill-its-soul-by-trading-nostalgia-for-cold-corporate-bland/#GoRight, #PeterBoykin, #GoRightNews, #CrackerBarrel, #TheyListened, #OldTimerReturns, #BrandBacklash, #NewCokeMoment, #CorporateBland, #SaveTradition, #CulturalHeritage, #NostalgiaPower, #RootsNotRelics, #Americana, #ProtectHeritage, #BlandKillsSoul, #StopCorporateBland, #WeThePeople, #AmericaFirst, #StandForTraditionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/goright-with-peter-boykin-gorightnews-com--3096608/support.

From the viral spectacle of TikTok trends like #DoWhatIWant to the hard realities of law enforcement in Washington DC, this episode dives deep into the contrast between pop-culture rebellion and Constitutional duty. Drawing on history from Rome to Lincoln to Eisenhower, Peter exposes the difference between slogans that vanish with the algorithm and the order that makes liberty possible.Closing with the powerful commentary “Can Liberty Survive on Slogans Alone or Does Order Keep It Alive?”, this episode challenges listeners to look beyond the noise, reject empty theater, and defend truth, accountability, and order in our Constitutional Republic.#GoRight, #PeterBoykin, #GoRightNews, #ConstitutionalRepublic, #LawAndOrder, #Trump, #HashtagCulture, #DoWhatIWant, #MemeVsReality, #RomeOrAmerica, #StopCrime, #PatriotVoices, #ProtectLiberty, #TruthOverTrends, #FreedomFirst, #SaveTheRepublic, #AvengersAssemble, #BatmanInDC, #StandForOrder, #PoliticalPodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/goright-with-peter-boykin-gorightnews-com--3096608/support.

Once again, we host our regular guest Mahmoud today to talk about clicking with watches. How do you know if you ‘click' with a watch, and how do you know if you don't? We've all experienced this before, a watch is perfect on paper, but for some reason, it just doesn't click. And of course the vice versa, where you hated a watch until you tried it on, and suddenly you're down a new rabbit hole…Give us a follow, and feel free to reach out to us on Instagram: @lumeplottersOr… leave us an audio comment using the link below, and we may just play it in an upcoming episode: https://www.speakpipe.com/lumeplotters

Vance, Charlie Kirk, Kristi Noem, and even ICE itself. But the real question isn't just Are you laughing? It's, Are you catching the warning buried inside the punchline?In this episode of #GoRight with Peter Boykin, we dive into why satire matters, why free speech must stay messy and offensive, and how outrage is being weaponized to control culture. From South Park's brutal parodies to the thin skins of political leaders, this episode shows why the fight for free speech is one of the last defenses of liberty in our Constitutional Republic.Comedy isn't safe, and it's not supposed to be. If we lose the right to laugh, even at the jokes we hate, then free speech will be buried right next to woke.Watch, listen, and share.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 114 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the first film in their Yasujirō Ozu series, Late Spring (1949). Known as one of the defining directors of Japanese cinema, Yasujirō Ozu is a staple of slow-burn, emotionally impactful cinema that evolved over time as his nation was coming to terms with what their identity was going to be post-World War II. Ozu, a popular director of domestic dramas and comedies before the war, made propaganda pictures for his country during the world struggle to entertain the people of Japan while the horrific violence of war played on throughout multiple countries over many years. The events of the war changed the country forever, and so did the director, as he started to question in his later films the traditions of the past with the western ideas that would become a part of modern culture around the world. In Late Spring, he does this within a father, daughter dynamic about when is the right time to leave one's family to create their own life, and when is it okay for a parent to let go of their child. In reviewing this first film, Ryan and Jay not only review the film and its themes, but explore their own personal relationships within the decisions Ozu makes within the framework of the narrative, making for one of their most personal podcasts to date as they start this new discovery into the world of Ozu. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 1h39m. The guys will be back next week to continue their new series on the films of Yasujirō Ozu with a review of his next film, Early Summer.

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 113 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello discuss the last film in their Paul Verhoeven series, Benedetta (2021). For Verhoeven's latest film, the director reteamed with his Elle collaborator David Birke, to make a religious film, as he's an expert scholar of the Jesus Seminar, even writing a book in 2007 entitled Jesus of Nazareth. Though his adaptation of his book, along with several other projects, didn't come to head, he was able to make Benedetta, a loose adaptation of Judith C. Brown's Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy, following the life of a nun (Virginie Efira) who joins the Italian convent while she was a young child and later has a forbidden love affair with another nun, while also seeing religious visions that make her seem like she has direct contact with Jesus. Wickedly hilarious, sensual, and fascinating, Benedetta is a thorny tale of the complexities of faith, as well as Verhoeven's critique of the church, an institution that he's examined for all of his life. Ryan, Jay, and Sophia break down their thoughts on the film, just how funny the film is, if it has more to say than what Verhoeven is bringing up on the surface, the dream sequences, Benedetta's struggles with temptation, Jay's love of The Great Gatsby, Sophia's story about seeing the film at the world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, and splinters. And seeing that it is the end of the series, the boys give out their Paul Verhoeven rankings as well as preview their new director series starting new week.

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 110 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Josh Parham discuss the latest film in their Paul Verhoeven series, Hollow Man (2000). In his final project within the Hollywood system, Paul Verhoeven entered the new millennium looking to make a new take on a classic horror film, about a scientist working on a special government project that turns you invisible by taking a special serum. In aiming to make a more conventional blockbuster, the director made one of his most controversial, thorny pictures as the main protagonist of the film is a downright psycho, hell bent on staying invisible despite being told how dangerous he has become by his long time co-workers on the project. It's a mostly entertaining throwback to the 2000s with excellent special effects as well as a deeply disturbing commentary attached to it. Ryan, Jay, and Josh break down their thoughts on the film, the creepy nature of tech-bros, the unfocused nature of who really is the lead of this film, the filmography of Kevin Bacon, how cool this movie poster was at a Blockbuster video, and just how many jokes can Josh make about Jay relating to the main characters of this film. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h23m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Paul Verhoeven with a review of his film, Black Book.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 108 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson discuss the latest film in their Paul Verhoeven series, Showgirls (1995). Following the massive cultural, commercial success of Basic Instinct, Verhoeven and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas turned their eye to the world of professional dancing as a young, ambitious girl, with a mysterious past, sets her sights on becoming a star as the main showgirl in over-the-top production set on the Las Vegas strip. The film was set up with massive expectations and the largest budget ever for an NC-17 film ($45m), Showgirls was hailed as one of the worst films of the 1990s, a box office bomb, and ruined star Elizabeth Berkley chances at becoming a star on the big screen like she was on television. But the film became a cult classic, and has now been fully reevaluated as a “masterpiece” of excess and the dangers women face within the entertainment industry; Verhoeven's The Red Shoes. Ryan, Jay, and Erik breakdown their relationship with the film, their favorite lines within the movie, the definition of “camp,” Berkley's rocky relationship with the film, how horrifying the sex is within the film, the legendary performance given by Gina Gershon, which characters they relate to, and which modern day pop-star Jay says has had a better 21st century success on the Billboard Charts than Madonna; a move that might see the end of the co-host as we know. Listen now to find out who mentions. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h45m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Paul Verhoeven with a review of his film, Starship Troopers. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Howdy, spacefarers — and thank you for tuning in to another episode of the Re-Watch Podcast! Today's show is extra special because I'm joined by my friend Joe, an avid comic book reader, collector, and all-around pop culture expert.I first noticed Joe's impressive Marvel collection at the office — featuring Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and Doctor Doom. He's also a seasoned convention-goer with autographs from the legendary actors behind Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and R2-D2.There's plenty of crossover in our fandoms, and today, I introduced Joe to Andor — what many fans consider the best Star Wars series Disney has produced. While Andor Season 2 has just debuted, we kicked things off with the very first episode of Season 1.Like me, Joe ranks Rogue One as one of the finest Star Wars films ever made. I've long argued that while Solo was the Star Wars movie no one asked for, Andor is the show we didn't know we desperately needed. Season 1 shattered expectations — and we're all eager to see how Season 2 measures up.Tune in as Joe shares his Star Wars knowledge, comic book adventures, and convention stories — and I make the case for why Andor deserves his full attention.

Welcome to season 2 episode 16 of the Timist Podcast Series - check out the show notes below:In this special on location episode...Lisa Bridge and I dive into the world of watches discussing everything from how travel and various cultures have left an imprint on her, to how she decides which brands and projects to align with, like the recent Oris Ben Bridge Limited Edition Aquis release.We also take a step back to learn more about Lisa herself - and how sometimes life's twists and turns reframes what we believe to be our true calling - like changing careers from being an educator to leading a company with over 113 years of established history.Not only that, but we also discuss why Ben Bridge in the last 5 years has shifted towards fewer physical locations throughout the US and the recent decision of certain watch brands such as Rolex opting for a solo-brand offering - specifically, we explore both the challenges and opportunities this represents for the industry.We wrap things up with a signature rapid-fire Q&A session!Check out the Ben Bridge Instagram account:https://www.instagram.com/benbridgejwlrCheck out Ben Bridge online:https://www.benbridge.com/INSTAGRAM:Follow me:https://www.instagram.com/the_timist_IGSupport the showSUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBeDf0c0V70qISfpu_mHchw?sub_confirmation=1CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION ON INSTAGRAM:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_timist_IG

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 107 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by film critic Brandon Streussnig discuss the latest film in their Paul Verhoeven series, Basic Instinct (1992). We enter a new chapter in the Verhoeven series, as the guys talk about one of the most iconic erotic-thrillers of all time with the most iconic image of the genre. But beyond that one scene lies an ode to Hitchcock, as we follow a sleazy detective down a rabbit hole of deception, sex, and murder as he investigates the death of a wealthy rock star, and the prime suspect is his old girlfriend, a writer whom wrote about his death in her latest book. Purposive, wild, and slightly progressive and regressive at the same time, Basic Instinct is the crown jewel of a type of film that audiences used to obsess over, perfectly made by a director at the height of his powers, featuring an all-time performance from Sharon Stone. Ryan, Jay, and Brandon breakdown their thoughts on the film, the history of the erotic thriller, the controversy over the iconic scene, how sex is weaponized throughout, the introduction to Joe Eszterhas as a writer to the world, the laughable sequel made several years later, ice picks, and just how good of a cop is Michael Douglas' Nick Curran.

On episode 106 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by the host of The Waffle Press Movie Podcast, Diego Crespo discuss the latest film in their Paul Verhoeven series, Total Recall (1990). Following up the massive success of RoboCop, Verhoeven turned his attention to another world, the planet Mars and the work of Philip K. Dick to make another commentary on our military obsessed culture with Total Recall. Following the story of a construction worker who finds out he is actually a super spy who has been planted with false memories of his past and who he is, setting off a chain of events that leads he into a war between the powerful elites of our world and the newly formed colony on Mars. Thought provoking then as it is now, Verhoeven taps into our ongoing paranoia of who is in-charge of our world, and questions whether their leadership is more relevant than a body of citizens willing to fight for their place in the world. Ryan, Jay, and Diego breakdown their thoughts on the film, if its commentary is as strong as RoboCop, the visual effects, Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance, the meaning of the film's ending, and so much more.

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 105 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the first film in their Paul Verhoeven series, RoboCop (1987). Known for being one of the most provocative directors of our lifetime, Paul Verhoeven has expertly used genre to tackle strong satirical elements of our society in ways his counterparts have never been able to. From the late 1960's to the early 1980s, the Dutch director mostly worked on films from his side of the world, slowly making his way to American productions by the end of the 80s. His first big introduction to commercial audiences was RoboCop, a futuristic examination on the power of corporations, corruption, crime, and lawlessness left unchecked by justice. Centering on a former police officer turning into the ultimate killing machine, Verhoeven delivers one of the most damning criticisms of American capitalism, as well as a signature film of the era. Ryan and Jay breakdown their thoughts on the film, their favorite lines in the movie, the over-the-top action set pieces, Murphy's (Peter Weller) journey and his reckoning with who he has become at the hands of those who harmed him, the episodic logistics of crime shows, and why no one can make a good satire, political commentary anymore.

On episode 104 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by Editor-In-Chief of InSession Film Dave Giannini to discuss the last films in their Peter Jackson series, The Hobbit Trilogy (2012/2013/2014). After the failure of The Lovely Bones, Jackson and company turned their attention back to a familiar place, Middle Earth. First starting as a producer, The Hobbit would find Jackson getting back in the director's chair for the prequel to his acclaimed The Lord of the Rings series, taking over the project from Guillermo del Toro, who seemed to struggle to get his vision of the film to mash with what the studio wanted. Instead of the initial two films suggested to tell the story, Jackson set out to make another trilogy, drawing from other texts of J. R. R. Tolkien in order to expand on this smaller story, giving it a grander history to the original trilogy, as well as adding new characters and elements to the classic tale. But Jackson can't capture the magic of The Lord of the Rings, making a messy, CGI heavy collection of films that become more and more tedious as the trilogy goes on; wasting solid performances because the story is now in the hands of a director more focused on his creative toys than making something as spectacular as the trilogy that made him a household name. Ryan, Jay, and Dave breakdown their thoughts on the films, why they look so ugly, the unnecessary love story found in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, how cool dragons are, how there aren't five armies in The Battle of the Five Armies, why these films turn into being a chore by the time they were released, and wonder if Jackson will ever go back to making feature films. The guys also give out their rankings on the Jackson series and reveal who they will be covering for their next movie series.

On episode 103 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Karen Peterson to discuss the next film in their Peter Jackson series, The Lovely Bones (2009). Oh how the mighty fall. By the end of the 2000s, director Peter Jackson was still riding off the high of The Lord of the Rings and King Kong, as he looked to make his next project. In finding the novel The Lovely Bones, Jackson connected with the idea of a young girl using the afterlife to process her death as well as help her family heal after said tragedy, and attempt to catch the person who killed her. Using CGI and green-screen for the in-between world and the afterlife, Jackson tried to bring together one of the most popular young-adult novels of the time, but in doing so, got distracted by his special effects and new techniques for these sequences, and instead, he created an emotionless slog of a film that was (and still is) considered by all to be a massive misstep within his career. Ryan, Jay, and Karen breakdown the film, how Jackson and his team did in adapting the novel to the big screen, the major casting shift at the center of the film, the current status of Saoirse Ronan's career, how Stanley Tucci should never have hair in a movie, and how massive of a misstep it is from the same mind that brought us Heavenly Creatures.

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 102 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by the Head of Content for The Ringer and co-host of The Big Picture podcast Sean Fennessey to discuss the next film in their Peter Jackson series, King Kong (2005). After making one of the most successful trilogies of all time, winning dozens of Oscars, making billions of dollars at the box office, and defying all odds due to the inadaptability of the source material, Peter Jackson was on top of the cinematic world. Following up The Lord of the Rings was going to be no small task, but the director had essentially created an opportunity that very few artists get to have in a career; he earned a blank check to make whatever he wanted. In doing this, he came back to a project he had been trying to make years before his work in Middle Earth; a remake of one of the most iconic films in the history of cinema, King Kong. In making a direct remake of the 1939 classic, Jackson was able to recreate and expand a film that changed his life when he first saw it as a child in a local theater with his mother. But in doing so, he made a heavily CGI'd spectacle filled with dinosaurs that bogs down the emotional, fantastical elements at the core of the original story, and an effort that showed the problematic signs of what happens when total creative control is handed to those that need a little bit of a guiding hand. Ryan, Jay, and Sean breakdown their thoughts on the film, the other versions of King Kong, the career of Naomi Watts, how Jack Black is still a giant movie star, Adrian Brody's Oscar speech, why no one can make a good dinosaur film outside the first Jurassic Park, why this movie didn't work, why Sean picked this film to come on and talk about, and how nice a guy David Cronenberg seems.
