Today, we go back to 2021 with an epic chat featuring writer Dan Slott—the man who brought his unique voice to Spider-Man, She-Hulk, and of course, Marvel's First Family, the Fantastic Four. As the FF celebrated their 60th anniversary, Dan reflects on their legacy, his run on the title, and why they still matter in today's pop culture landscape.But this conversation doesn't stop at Yancy Street—we also dive into Doctor Who, one of Dan's lifelong fandoms, and get his take on the show's recent direction. And then it gets a little spicy as we discuss Star Trek: Discovery and where that show may have gone off the rails. Plus a good dose of Star Wars talk. It's comics, sci-fi, and brutally honest fandom with one of the sharpest writers in the business.
Our four-part Star Wars deep dive series is now live on Patreon—starting with a free 15-minute preview of our epic Star Wars -Phantom Menace breakdown. From podraces, to tariffs, to Darth Maul's double-bladed duel of the fates chaos, we unpack the Star Wars mythology, this era of Lucas, this massive indie production, and our relationship to the divisive prequels.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for a second time: Masonic and satanic ritual abuse, MK ULTRA and child trafficking survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, qualified Survival Instructor, Instructor for Hostile Environment Awareness Training, former alpine climber, Tibetan medicine practitioner, adventure sport instructor, outdoor lover, my new friend, and all around badass and inspiration, Lou Born on August 8 - or 8/8, a date symbolically significant in the esoteric circles that would shape her early life, Lou emerged into a world steeped in spiritual and occult influences. Her family's bloodline, tracing back to early British royalty, Danish ancestry, and historical figures like Odin and Freya, marked her as a target for exploitation by secret societies, including Masonic and military networks. Unbeknownst to her as a child, this lineage, combined with her innate psychic abilities, would thrust her into a hidden world of ritualistic abuse and mind control programming.Lou's earliest years were shrouded in dissociation, a coping mechanism that veiled her memories until age nine. It was during a live TV appearance on a British talk show, Kilroy, that she first realized she had no recollection of her childhood - a stark revelation that her mind had locked away years of trauma. Raised in South London, Lou's home was a paradox of spiritual allure and dark undercurrents. Her mother, a spiritual channeler, practiced yoga, healing, and automatic writing, influenced by esoteric figures like Steven Jenkins, a Mongolian Buddhist and author, and Andrew Barti, a Grandmaster of the Knights of Malta - who was a frequent visitor to her home and one of her abusers - presenting himself as charitable while orchestrating ritualistic abuse of children behind the scenes. Her father - who was former Merchant Navy, worked at Shirley Oaks Children's home as a maintenance worker and builder, and was a former model with celebrity friends like David Prowse who played Darth Vader in Star Wars. This only added to the complicated family dynamics.Lou's earliest years were shrouded in dissociation, a coping mechanism that veiled her memories until age nine. It was during a live TV appearance on a British talk show, Kilroy, that she first realized she had no recollection of her childhood - a stark revelation that her mind had locked away years of trauma. Her childhood was punctuated by fragmented memories of horrific rituals - being tied up, hung upside down, subjected to electric shocks, and submerged in a cold water tank with a dead body. These experiences, often conducted in underground tunnels and other conspicuous locations, were part of a sophisticated, governmental programming system linked to Masonic lodges and military bases.

Dark science, cloning, secrets only the scoopers knew! We talk about the rumor that a second season of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi' is in development for Disney Plus. And as with any rumor about Obi-Wan, it gained a lot of steam. We get into why we are not buying this rumor at all, as we do not believe there is a second season of the series in the works. But we DO think Ewan McGregor will return as Obi-Wan in AHSOKA season 2, and Shin Hati actor Ivanna Sakhno spoke briefly about the “bigger” upcoming season. That plus tough questions in our segment WILL OF THE FORCE and we feature your submitted questions in #AskTheResistance! If you like having a great time talking Star Wars, you've found your home, because if you're listening to this broadcast, you are part of The Resistance!

Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney Fan Podcast
Are you ready to hear some ridiculous Star Wars rumors from the early ‘70's and ‘80's? Things like Luke, Han & Chewbacca warping through time to fight in the Clone Wars, and Darth Bane appearing in the prequels played by Christopher Walken!? There are so many fun rumors planted by our friend Craig Miller - the mastermind of early rumors working at Lucasfilm. This episode is recorded from a panel we hosted at LosCon 2022. Up until now it was just available for the Skywalking Force, now we will share it with the world. Joining us on the panel was Kevin Toft and Max Cervantes from the Max EFX podcast, as well as our friend Craig Miller (Lucasfilm, Fan Relations). Unfortunately we did not video record this Loscon panel so we just added in lots of pictures. Enjoy TODAY in Star Wars History 7/1/1935 Happy 90th birthday (posthumous) to David Prowse.

En esta noche de trivia con el staff de El Fandalorian y la audiencia en vivo: series y películas del APOCALIPSIS.Puedes ver y escuchar este episodio en Spotify, o lo puedes escuchar en Apple Podcasts. Desbloquea contenido solo para miembros en Patreon y YouTube Memberships.--El entusiasmo por las ñoñadas ha reunido a Mareo Flores, Antonio "Fáyer" Uribe, Andrés "Boludo" Durán y nuestra nueva adición, Dani Weasley, en un podcast que, además de hablar sobre el universo de Star Wars, también se clava en otras series, películas, cómics, videojuegos y nerdeces. This is the way.
America is turning 250. And we're throwing a yearlong celebration of the greatest country on Earth. The greatest? Yes. The greatest. We realize that's not a popular thing to say these days. Americans have a way of taking this country for granted: a Gallup poll released earlier this week shows that American pride has reached a new low. And the world at large, which is wealthier and freer than it has ever been in history thanks to American power and largesse, often resents us. We get it. As journalists, we spend most of our time finding problems and exposing them. It's what the job calls for. But if you only focus on the negatives, you get a distorted view of reality. As America hits this milestone birthday, it's worthwhile to take a moment to step back and look closely at where we actually are—and the reality of life in America today compared to other times and places. That reality is pretty spectacular. Could Thomas Jefferson and the men gathered in Philadelphia who wrote down the words that made our world—“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”—ever have imagined what their Declaration of Independence would bring? The Constitution. The end of slavery—and the defeat of Hitler. Astonishing wealth and medical breakthroughs. Silicon Valley. The most powerful military in the world. The moon landing. Hollywood. The Hoover Dam. The Statue of Liberty (a gift from France). Actual liberation (a thing we gave France). Humphrey Bogart and Tom Hanks. Josephine Baker and Beyoncé. Hot dogs. Corn dogs. American Chinese food. American Italian food. The Roosevelts and the Kennedys. The Barrymores and the Fondas. Winston Churchill (his mom was from Brooklyn). The Marshall Plan and Thurgood Marshall. Star Wars. Missile-defense shields. Baseball. Football. The military-industrial complex. Freedom of religion. UFO cults. Television. The internet. The Pill. The Pope. The automobile, the airplane, and AI. Jazz and the blues. The polio vaccine and GLP-1s, the UFC and Dolly Parton. The list goes on because it's really, truly endless. Ours is a country where you can hear 800 languages spoken in Queens, drive two hours and end up among the Amish in Pennsylvania. We are 330 million people, from California to New York Island, gathered together as one. Each of those 330 million will tell you that ours is not a perfect country. But we suspect most of them would agree that their lives would not be possible without it. So for the next 12 months, we're going to toast to our freedoms on the page, on this podcast and in real life. And we're doing it the Free Press way: by delving into all of it—the bad and the good and the great, the strange and the wonderful and the wild. And today—on America's 249th birthday—we're kicking off this yearlong event with none other than Akhil Reed Amar. Akhil has a unique understanding of this country—and our Constitution. Akhil is a Democrat who testified on behalf of Brett Kavanaugh, is a member of The Federalist Society, who is pro-choice but also anti-Roe—and these seeming contradictions make him perfectly suited to answer questions about the political and legal polarization we find ourselves in today. Akhil is a constitutional law professor at Yale and the author of the brilliant book The Words That Made Us: America's Constitutional Conversation, 1760–1840. He also hosts the podcast Amarica's Constitution, and you might recognize his name from his work in The Atlantic. I ask him about the unique history that created our founding document, the state of the country, our political polarization, the American legal system, and what this country means to him.

Co-authored with physicist-musician Dr. Jeff Brake, The Science of The Beatles explores how the Fab Four's studio innovations, from multi-tracking to tape loops, reshaped music. Discover how their genre-blending—classical, Indian ragas, and psychedelia—forged a new sonic language. From ‘Eleanor Rigby's' baroque strings to ‘Tomorrow Never Knows' psychedelic soundscapes, Brake reveals why Lennon and McCartney might echo Bach and Beethoven centuries from now. A fascinating blend of music, technology, and genius. GUEST: Professor Mark Brake is an acclaimed science communicator, author, and educator, renowned for decoding the science in pop culture. With works like The Science of Star Wars and The Science of Harry Potter, he's captivated global audiences at NASA, the BBC, and Seattle's Science Fiction Museum.

During her retirement party it was revealed that Kim and her mother, Leota Toombs, would be getting a window on Main Street. Getting a window on Main Street is one of the highest honors at Disneyland. The most recent new window on Main Street was for the Make-A-Wish foundation back in 2023. – https://www.micechat.com/418015-disneyland-news-pirates-unplugged-leotas-legacy-bubble-bonanza/ A couple of attractions have returned this week. Pixie Hollow, which has been behind construction walls for a long time has finally reopened with pixie meet and greets. The area is largely unchanged from the previous version, just freshened up. Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room also reopened this week, with the courtyard opening before the attraction. The tiki gods have all been refreshed, with Tangaroa being completely replaced with higher limbs. Inside, the attraction feels brighter, with new LED lightning, but some of the elements of the attraction are still not animated. – https://www.micechat.com/418015-disneyland-news-pirates-unplugged-leotas-legacy-bubble-bonanza/ A new collaboration is coming to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.

Star Wars fans can collect their favorite icons, with shows and scenes from the movies, and TV. Fans can then scan cans, bottles, or street advertisements to unlock immersive AR experiences. You can also record a message of hope, inspiration, or encouragement, like a transmission that can be shared as a hologram-style video with your community. – https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/new-coca-cola-collaboration-celebrates-star-wars-fans/ If you would like your very own tiki bird at home, the Garner Holt Foundation has an option for you. They have launched a Kickstarter campaign to provide animatronic songbird mini kits so Disney fans can make them at home. You can customize the bird, and program it to talk or sing. – https://www.micechat.com/417829-garner-holt-diy-animatronic-bird-kit/ Disney merchandise from Japan and China is unlike anything we have in the domestic parks.

We are finally taking a look back at Andor's second season. When we ask ourselves the question, "Is Andor's second season truly a masterpiece?", we find it hard to answer any way other than an unequivocal YES! However, when we ask whether or not all Star Wars should be like Andor, that is a more complicated answer. Let's dive in!

Dan and Tom look at the pluses and minuses of Amazon controlling James Bond. Is it the best thing for the franchise? It just may be! On the other hand, what are the roadblocks they may encounter in making this a success? Listen to find out! We've had a bit of time to digest the news of Eon Productions' selling creative control of the James Bond franchise to Amazon. At the time, we released a fan reaction episode. But now, producers and directors are being announced, so it is time to reexamine this dramatic change to this 63-year-old powerhouse. Furthermore, might this just be the best thing for the franchise in a long time? What we will decode in this episode We look at the following to answer the question: Is Amazon taking complete control of James Bond a good thing or a bad thing? · Was Eon Productions tired of James Bond? · The size of the bet for Amazon · In addition to the initial costs, can Amazon use its industry power to succeed? · What are our biggest fears about this takeover? · Should the recent hiring announcements quell our fears? · In what ways might Amazon expand the franchise? · Should Amazon expand into TV, spin-offs, and the like? · The need to get good content fast. Therefore, is there a role for the novels of the James Bond continuation authors here? · How does Amazon's global reach impact its potential expansion of the franchise? · Does Amazon's money allow it to expand the quality of what we see in James Bond movies? · What can Amazon learn from Disney and its purchase of STAR WARS? · And of course, there is more! Tell us what you think. Is Amazon controlling James Bond a good thing or a bad thing? So, these are our thoughts. Are we on track? Additionally, what do you think about expanding into different media? Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you think of this episode. Just drop us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com. The more we hear from you, the better the show will surely be! We'll give you a shout-out in a future episode!

And the death count grows.This week, in “Make It Stop” (Andor S2 E10), everyone is either leveling up, going rogue—or shuffling off this mortal coil. As we get booted another year forward in time, we talk through Lonni's growth into a true spymaster and Dedra's grief curdling even deeper into fanaticism. Then, looking deeper into the past, we examine Luthen and Kleya's father/daughter relationship and parse why Luthen felt compelled to begin the Rebellion.In a fun turn, we also get to theorycraft about medical tech in Star Wars.

Abbey Blue Eyes and Ashe in America sit down with Jordan Sather for an expansive discussion bridging health activism and the mysteries of human consciousness. Jordan kicks off by unpacking RFK Jr.'s efforts to defund Gavi and dismantle Big Pharma's chokehold on small supplement makers. From there, the conversation dives into genetically modified foods, glyphosate-laden crops, and the corporate collusion between Monsanto and the FDA to keep Americans sick. The second half veers into the “woo,” exploring remote viewing, astral projection, and the nature of consciousness as an untapped human birthright. Jordan lays out how our DNA might act as a fractal antenna linking us to a morphogenic field, while the hosts debate whether these abilities are divine gifts or gateways to manipulation. They also examine the moral hazards of a future where secrets disappear, and humanity becomes a shared hive mind. Interwoven throughout are biblical references, Star Wars metaphors, and sharp questions about the hidden hand shaping both our food supply and our collective psyche. It's a thought-provoking exploration of corruption, spiritual sovereignty, and the possibility of reclaiming our innate power.
We sit down with Heads of State director Ilya Naishuller (Hardcore Henry, Nobody) to talk about his latest action-comedy starring John Cena, Idris Elba, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Ilya shares what it was like working with this powerhouse cast, how the wild on-set energy shaped the film, and how Heads of State compares to his previous work. We also dive into the lessons he's carried from Hardcore Henry, his music-driven approach to editing, and what iconic franchise — Marvel, DC, Star Wars, or gaming — he'd love to tackle next.HEADS OF STATE streams globally on Prime Video July 2, 2025.Watch the Full Interview on YouTube Here Check out Geekcentric onYouTube | Instagram | Twitter | TikTokJoin the Geekcentric Discord HERE

Welcome to Databank Brawl Rewind! Databank Brawl was a series that ran on ForceCenter from 2016 to 2020, and it remains one of our more beloved shows. Though Databank Brawl is on hiatus, we wanted to celebrate it along with longtime listeners of the podcast and reintroduce it to the ForceCenter listeners who began listening to the podcast after the end of the show's run.
