Chosen by Patreon supporter Helen, Indecent Proposal is exactly the sort of glossy 90s adult drama that makes perfect VHS Strikes Back territory: stylish, morally messy, wildly debatable, and absolutely guaranteed to make everyone in the room ask what they would do for one million dollars. Directed by Adrian Lyne, the film arrived in 1993 at the peak of Hollywood's obsession with erotic thrillers and high-stakes relationship dramas, when a soft-focus lens, a luxurious wardrobe, and a deeply questionable premise could still become a major box office event. Based on Jack Engelhard's 1988 novel, it starred Robert Redford, Demi Moore, and Woody Harrelson, with a screenplay by Amy Holden Jones and a typically elegant score from John Barry.Filming began in Las Vegas in June 1992 before moving to Southern California, with locations including Echo Park and a Santa Barbara mansion used for John Gage's home. The film became a major commercial hit, earning around $266.6 million worldwide against a reported $38 million budget, despite mixed-to-negative reviews and a premise that caused plenty of debate. It also became a pop culture talking point almost instantly, inspiring arguments about marriage, money, consent, class, and whether Robert Redford could make absolutely anything sound sophisticated, even a financial transaction that should really have involved several lawyers and a long walk outside.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISThey were young. They were in love. They had dreams, debts, and the sort of architectural ambitions that scream, “we are one recession away from disaster.”But in the neon heart of Las Vegas, one night changes everything. A billionaire stranger enters their lives with charm, confidence, and a cheque book big enough to turn romance into a boardroom negotiation.FUN FACTSIndecent Proposal was directed by Adrian Lyne, who had already become the king of stylish relationship chaos with films like Fatal Attraction and 9½ Weeks.The film was adapted from Jack Engelhard's novel, although the screen version softened and reshaped elements of the original story for mainstream Hollywood audiences.Robert Redford's casting gave the film an unusual edge, because billionaire John Gage had to feel charming enough to be believable, but morally questionable enough to make everyone deeply uncomfortable.Demi Moore was one of the biggest stars of the early 90s, and this film landed during the same era that cemented her as a major box office name.Woody Harrelson was still best known to many viewers for Cheers, making his role as a financially desperate husband a notable move into more dramatic film work.The film's central “one million dollars for one night” premise became one of the most talked-about movie hooks of the decade.Billy Bob Thornton has a small role in the film, appearing before he became widely known as a major Hollywood name.The movie features appearances from Sheena Easton and Herbie Hancock, adding a bit of real-world glamour to the already very shiny 90s atmosphere.SUPPORT THE SHOW If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

Ben and Rob conclude their journey through Panem with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two, directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Donald Sutherland. What begins as one final YA franchise finale slowly mutates into something far stranger; a conversation about propaganda, blockbuster filmmaking, dead children, sewer monsters, wigs, merchandising, oligarchs, trauma, rebellion branding, and whether Suzanne Collins may have quietly pulled off one of the most outrageous sleight-of-hand tricks ever hidden inside a studio franchise.Why does Donald Sutherland feel like he's acting in an entirely different film from everybody else? Why does this franchise keep accidentally becoming more relevant every single year? Is Gale the most terrifying character in the entire series? And what if Mockingjay Part Two is not just a blockbuster about propaganda… but something far more clever? And finally… What does it really mean?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS!

Nancy got excited about it being Hump Day and got shut down by Joey and Karly. Joey went to his son’s chorus concert last night and was confused by a song about axolotls. Karly saw a small child hanging out of a moving car’s window, waving and flipping people off. The kid was clearly not in a car seat or even buckled in at all. She wondered if she should have called the police or not. Hot Tea: Ella Langley clapped back at a hate comment on TikTok. Maren Morris claimed that she never said she hated country music as a genre; she meant the country music industry. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are starring in a new TV show where they reference the fact that they might be half-brothers. A teenager just graduated from law school and is already pursuing more degrees. Joey saw a video of two semi-trucks that were blocking the interstate lanes. A driver passed them on the right shoulder, got in front of a truck, and slammed on their breaks to try to teach them a lesson. Lucky 7 for $50 to The Diner at Twister’s! Nancy had to miss her first day of ministering to people at the jail because Joey didn’t turn in the reference papers she asked him to do. The former owner of ELF Cosmetics dropped everything and became a Catholic priest. We asked listeners what they would do if they could do whatever they wanted. What Makes You Special?

Season 20, Episode 9: Stand down, defenders of the realm. The brave Queenslanders have come to the aid of New South Wales (did we ever doubt them?) and that means that with 33% of the states now off the idea, Cricket Australia can't take the Big Bash to the sale yard to get a price. Everybody is seemingly pissed off with somebody. Is this a good outcome, bad outcome, head in the sand, resolute belief in the future? Plenty of ways to look at it. Also this week, storylines abound in county cricket, we have Enakshi's IPL wrap, and all of Australia was breathless in following the fortunes of the mighty Hyderabad Houston Chicago Illinois Kingsmen starring Woody Harrelson.

Às vésperas de uma eleição, o presidente dos Estados Unidos (Michael Belson) é pego em um escândalo sexual que ameaça sua reeleição. Para desviar a atenção da mídia e do público, seu assessor Conrad Brean (Robert De Niro) tem uma ideia genial — ou melhor, absurda: contratar um produtor de Hollywood, Stanley Motss (Dustin Hoffman), para inventar uma guerra fictícia na Albânia.Com a ajuda da assessora Winifred Ames (Anne Heche) e de um elenco improvável que inclui um cantor country (Willie Nelson) e até um soldado “herói” interpretado por Woody Harrelson, eles criam uma narrativa épica que conquista corações e manchetes. O resultado? Uma sátira hilária sobre manipulação midiática, poder político e o quanto o público pode acreditar em uma boa história — mesmo que seja totalmente inventada.“Mera Coincidência” (1997), dirigido por Barry Levinson e estrelado por Dustin Hoffman e Robert De Niro, é uma comédia política afiada e divertida que mostra como Hollywood pode fabricar uma guerra inteira para salvar a reputação de um presidente em apuros.PIX: canalfilmesegames@gmail.comSiga o Filmes e Games:Instagram: filmesegames Facebook: filmesegames Twitter: filmesegamesSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KfJKthPodcast: https://anchor.fm/fgcastIntro - 0:00WogDogs - 5:01O que é "Mera Coincidência"? - 6:03Notas dos agregadores - 8:41Tirando o bode da sala - 11:36Cenas e Bastidores - 22:31Premiações - 38:21Bilheteria - 39:44Notas do Filmes e Games - 42:22Momento Locadora - 49:02Revelação do FGcast #423 - 1:34:29

Chris Paul and Burning Bright tackle the 2007 Coen Brothers masterpiece No Country for Old Men, adapted from Cormac McCarthy's novel and starring Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, and Woody Harrelson. The guys agree it's a modern American classic, and dig into why a film with such a stripped-down setting and plot manages to carry such enormous philosophical weight. The conversation moves through Sheriff Ed Tom Bell's opening monologue about not wanting to "put his soul at hazard" against an evil he doesn't understand, the nature of psychopathy and whether inherent evil exists, and Anton Chigurh's coin-flipping determinism versus Carla Jean's stark refusal to play his game. They unpack Carson Wells as a coward who depends on the rules of the system, the off-screen death of Llewelyn Moss as a deliberate breaking of storytelling rules, and why Chigurh, not Bell or Moss, is arguably the true protagonist whose arc actually changes. From there they zoom out to the dark night of the soul, systemic evil, why the enemy lost its mandate after World War II, the gas pump sticker meme, and how moral relativism quietly leads good people into advocating for monsters.

George Orwell's classic totalitarian critique "Animal Farm" gets a dumbed-down animated big screen incarnation. Yes, the pigs take over the farm, but the metaphors don't fly. The all-star voice cast includes Seth Rogan, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin and Woody Harrelson but their efforts are for naught. Screenwriter Nicholas Stoller and director Andy Serkis deserve some credit for trying a new approach, but this so-called modernized version of “Animal Farm” isn't for adults who revere Orwell or for kids who couldn't care less. Here's one that won't be shown on airlines anytime soon. "Jaws" meets "Airport" in "Deep Water," the story of a loaded passenger flight that crashes into -you guessed it- shark infested waters. Aaron Eckhart and Sir Ben Kingsley are the captains who accidentally serve up a smorgasbord for hungry carnivores along with the typical disaster movie cliches. If the premise sounds familiar, another movie called “No Way Up” came out two years ago with a nearly identical plot. While it's overly familiar, director Renny Harlin's opus “Deep Water” is impressively filmed. It ain't deep, but disaster movie fans won't mind. Producer John Lasseter may no longer be at Pixar, but his creative fingerprints are all over the wildly imaginative Netflix animated fantasy, "Swapped." Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple provide the voices of a mammal and a bird who magically swap bodies in a fantastical woodland area. Their experiences change their perspectives, proving that differences are good and that working together makes life better for everyone. It's smart and beautifully animated. "Swapped" is a family film in the best sense, providing thoughtful entertainment that can be enjoyed by all age groups.

She was discovered at 15 in a London coffee shop… and within years, she was starring in major Hollywood films alongside legends. In this episode, Steve Kmetko sits down with actress Vanessa Angel to talk about her unexpected rise from modeling to acting, working with icons like Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Woody Harrelson, and the reality behind building a career in Hollywood. From Spies Like Us to Weird Science and Kingpin, Vanessa shares the moments that defined her journey, including the role she almost had that changed TV history, the truth about being a young model alone in the industry, and why she spent decades trying to be taken seriously. She also opens up about imposter syndrome, personal growth, motherhood, and what success really means now after 40 years in the business. This is a candid, funny, and surprisingly emotional conversation about fame, resilience, and finding yourself when the spotlight fades. THIS IS STILL HERE HOLLYWOOD, I'M STEVE KMETKO.

We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate 4/20 than having Woody Harrelson back with Bill Maher on Club Random. The setting: The Woods in Hollywood — their own dispensary, complete with koi ponds, bungalows, parrots, and a vibe you won't find anywhere else. What follows is Club Random like no other: two longtime friends sharing stories (and a few enhancements), bouncing between hilarious tangents, sharp debates, and real talk — laughing so hard at times they're literally in tears and reaching for tissues. From Willie Nelson stories to the highs and headaches of the cannabis business in California, to Woody's love of Charles Dickens and Marlon Brando, plus empty-nester reflections and wardrobe critiques — it's funny, chaotic, and full of the kind of chemistry you can't fake.

This podcast episode delves into the intricate and often controversial narrative of "Natural Born Killers," a film that portrays two victims of traumatic childhoods who evolve into psychopathic serial murderers, a theme irresponsibly glorified by the mass media. As we embark on this exploration, we reflect on our initial reactions to the film, particularly how it struck us during our youth and the complexities that continue to provoke our thoughts. The discussion juxtaposes the distinct directorial styles of Oliver Stone and Quentin Tarantino, emphasizing how their differing approaches shape the film's tone and character development. We scrutinize the performances of the cast, particularly Woody Harrelson's compelling portrayal, which anchors the film amidst its chaotic narrative. Ultimately, our analysis reveals a blend of admiration and critique, as we grapple with the ethical implications of rootable villains and the film's commentary on societal violence.Visit Our Sponsor: https://dubby.gg10% Off Code: OURVERDICTSupport us:https://www.patreon.com/whatsourverdictEmail us:hosts@whatsourverdict.comFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatsourverdictTwitter: @whatsourverdictInstagram: @whatsourverdictYouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC-K_E-ofs3b85BnoU4R6liAVisit us:www.whatsourverdict.com

The quotes of Matthew McConaughey, the filmography of Woody Harrelson, and whether or not UNC made the right choice by hiring Michael Malone.

EDtv opened in third place on March 26th right behind our last movie, Analyze This in 2nd and Forces of Nature in 1st, going on to gross $35 million worldwide on a budget of $80 million. Directed by Ron Howard, it is a remake of the 1994 Quebecois film Louis 19, King of the Airwaves, with a script adapted by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, it stars Matthew McConaughey, Jenna Elfman, Woody Harrelson, Ellen DeGeneres, Sally Kirkland, a frankly Oscar-worthy Martin Landau, Rob Reiner, Dennis Hopper, Elizabeth Hurley, Harry Shearer, Ian Gomez, Rupaul, Michael Moore, Jay Leno, George Plimpton, and Bill Maher. EDtv tells the story of a regular guy whose life becomes a 24-hour reality show. It did modestly well with critics, but it was drowned out by 1998's similarly-premised (but in no way similar) The Truman Show. Anyway, since it's the only 1999 movie to feature Bill Maher, we invited the host of the I Hate Bill Maher Podcast, comedian Will Weldon, to talk about this incredibly confused, frustrating movie, which remains notable for being the start of the McConaughey-Harrelson (possibly literal) Bromance!

Braga, King, and Ski talk Wildcats, the movie in which Goldie Hawn coaches a rag tag group of high schoolers to a city football championship. Wesley Snipes shows his average dong, and Woody Harrelson plays slot back. It's very problematic even for the 80s. Is it any good? Listen!

Ella McCay (2025) Film Buff Review: James L. Brooks' Return to Directing After 15 Years Analyzed here with fresh eyes in 2026: Is Ella McCay—the 2025 political comedy-drama written and directed by legendary filmmaker James L. Brooks—still relevant for today's audiences? As a dedicated film buff, I break down this question while reminding everyone exactly who James L. Brooks is (and was). The Oscar-winning writer-director behind timeless classics like Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News, and As Good as It Gets—plus iconic TV hits including The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi, and The Simpsons—has shaped American culture with his signature blend of sharp wit, heartfelt family dynamics, and relatable characters for over five decades. His influence on both cinema and television is undeniable, even if his big-screen output has been quiet in recent years. That said, here's my honest review of his long-awaited 2025 comeback, Ella McCay, starring the fantastic and highly watchable Emma Mackey. (And yes, I double-checked—she's not 100% Margot Robbie, though fans of Barbie will spot that same charismatic energy and screen presence in her performance as the idealistic young politician juggling family chaos and high-stakes work life.) This warm yet uneven ensemble piece also features a stacked supporting cast including Jamie Lee Curtis, Albert Brooks, Woody Harrelson, Kumail Nanjiani, Ayo Edebiri, and more. Set against a political backdrop, it explores the messy realities of "having it all" in a way that feels both nostalgic and timely. #EllaMcCay #EllaMcCayMovie #JamesLBrooks #EmmaMackey #FilmReview #MovieReview #PoliticalComedy #2025Movies #JamesLBrooksReturn #TermsOfEndearment #AsGoodAsItGets #BroadcastNews #FilmBuff #Cinema #HollywoodComeback #IndieFilm #ComedyDrama

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Last week, I had a good conversation on the telephone with my brother that I thought I’d share that with you today. It’s another aspect of what I call Gnostic Psychology that my brother Bill, Dr. Bill Puett, and I have been developing. He wanted to share with me an article about psychopathy and his Gnostic insight about the article. These conversations started when I was probably about four years old, and Bill was a young teenager at that point. He was already a philosopher, and he and I would have these conversations together. So I grew up with these sorts of interactions with my older brother concerning the nature of reality, God, physics, astronomy, psychology. We’ve been talking about these things now for well over 60 years. from left: Billy, Cyd, and brother David. Recently returned from a sojourn in Japan, 1958. When I became a PhD, I imagined that I would be able to have these sorts of conversations with other people, especially with other professors at the universities I taught at. I expected that this is the nature of conversation, to have this give and take, this interaction, this sharing of information, interrupting each other, getting excited, moving on. But I haven’t found that with anyone else except my brother. I think that when we pass out of this particular material life and return to the abode above, I expect this sort of conversation to be happening up there. Well, certainly in the philosophers’ cafes, if there are such things up there. You know, my vision of the afterlife is very much like what we have here on Earth, because this is, after all, a deficient copy, a deficient imitation by the Demiurge of the land above. And so I expect that we will have these sorts of communities and churches and experiences, but without any of the death, destruction, disappointment, the negative memes, the vices, that will not be there. It’s all going to be good. It’s all going to be on the up and up. And so what I’m hoping for, what I’m expecting, is that there will be gatherings with people like Socrates and Plato and Aristotle, and of course, Christ. Jesus is going to be there, no doubt. And we’ll be having these interesting conversations about things. School of Athens, a fresco by Rafael, painted in 1509 to 1511 So let me bring you up to speed with a thumbnail sketch of what Gnostic psychology is. What I have gleaned from the Tripartite Tractate and other Gnostic books is that we are all fractals. We all carry the Spirit of God within us. We are made in the image of God, it says in the Old and New Testaments. And that image of God, as I see it, is the pleroma of the Fullness of the Hierarchy of God, which itself is a breaking out into all of the variables contained within the Father and the Son, but broken out into their individualities. So if you can imagine that the Father or the Son knew all of music and all of mathematics and all of everything, right? Well, the breakout personalities of those knowing everything would be the philosophers, the mathematicians, the musicians of various types, and everything else. All other personalities are represented in the Fullness of God. And not only the personalities are in the Fullness of God, and by the way, we probably refer to those as angels. Angels are not in the Tripartite Tractate—we use the word Aeons. Those are the inhabitants of the Fullness of God, and they are each one a particularity of the Son, and they have come to self-awareness. But the Fullness of God is not only those personalities, those angels, as we think of them, but it’s concepts like mathematics, like music, like dynamics—up and down, in and out—chemistry, physics. Every concept that can be broken out into a particularity is also part of the hierarchy of the Fullness of God. The Aeons of the Fullness dream as one of Paradise. Okay, so back to the psychological aspect. Each of us second-order powers, and I’ll talk about us humans since we are humans sitting here, we have a fractal copy of that Fullness of God– the image of God as they put it in the Bible. So we have that pure, idyllic self that is a perfect fractal of the Fullness of God. So it’s all good, it’s all loving, it’s the consciousness of the Father and the Son, it’s the purity of talent. So for example, when someone is in the zone, if someone’s a great basketball player, and they’re in the zone in the game, and they’re sinking those baskets like nobody’s business, that’s an aeonic trait of the great basketball player in the sky, you could say. It’s like that, but for every particular skill, for everything that humans are, we each represent constellations of those personalities that are represented in the Fullness of God. We’re each unique in the distribution of those talents. We have the Fullness within us, but certain parts of ourselves are highlighted, and those are our personalities. And so that’s what I call the capital S self. In a lot of spiritual writing, they call that your spirit or your soul. We also have an ego, and the ego is not a negative thing. Even the Aeons above have egos, and the ego is simply your designation. It’s your particular place, position, power; it’s your talent, it’s your duty in the hierarchy. And so when we are born into this material world, we bring that identification of our particular ego with us. Now here’s where the Gnostic Psychology comes in, once we’re in this material world and we are attached to the molecules that make up our body, which are not from above—they come from the Fall. In Gnosticism, this materiality of the cosmos, this materiality of our physical space, is a demiurgic construction based on the Demiurge’s blueprint memory of the Fullness of God, except that the Demiurge doesn’t realize that. The Demiurge thinks he cooks it all up. The Demiurge believes itself to be the only pre-existent consciousness. The Demiurge thinks consciousness began with it when it woke up, and that it is now God. And look all the things it can do. It can create the heavens and the earth. It can create all of the minerals and elements. It can build rocks and crystals and mountains. But it thinks it came up with it. It doesn’t remember it fell from the Fullness of God. It doesn’t remember it is the ego of the fallen Aeon. And here at Gnostic Insights, we identify that fallen Aeon as the Aeon known as Logos. And Logos was the last Aeon to be created in the Fullness of God. And it carried within itself the entirety of the Fullness in a fractal form. When we are sent into this world as a conscious birthing choice by the Aeons above and by our pre-existent spirit, we are melded onto that material, that mud of the Demiurge. Because the Demiurge can build stuff, but he can’t bring it to life. The Demiurge doesn’t contain the life, the light, the love, the memory of the Father and the Son and the Fullness. We bring that into this world when we are born here. So our physical part of our human body, the purely physical part underneath the cells, the molecules, the amino acids, the chemicals, even the processes, these are demiurgic. And we, our Fullness spirit and our ego, that is what is melded into the physical molecules. And then we grow up with those molecules and build up through the stages of gestation and become born as a fully-fledged second-order power. So we’re one third material. We’re also about one third ego identification. Who we are—those are our proclivities, those are our talents and our personality, our recognizableness. We are also perfect Self with a big S. Our Self, which is a fractal of the Fullness of God. So all three of those parts walk around with us. We 2nd Order Powers are melded to the demiurgic material below us and are infused with life from above Now, the Gnostic Psychology part is how it is that our ego and our Self share the consciousness of this body. And it’s not just our ego now, because once we’re in the world, especially once we’re in the culture of the world, we start picking up memes. A meme is a unit of information. So we pick up these memes, and the ones we love, the ones we like a lot, get stuck to our egoic structure, like strings wrapped around our egoic structure. We start acquiring memes throughout our lifetime from the culture around us, from our parents, from the books we read, and our education. We not only collect the memes we like, such as, I like dogs. That’s a meme. Obey your parents, that’s a meme. Vote, that’s a meme. I’m an American, that’s a meme. You see, every thought we have, every discrete unit of information is a meme, and we wrap those around our bundle of the ego. But not only the ones we like, we also pick up the memes we don’t like, the things we are completely repelled by and hate. We carry that hatred wrapped around us as well. So things that stir you up, your triggers, your baggage, those are memes that are wrapped around your ego. And then this idea of vices and virtues. Virtuous memes are the memes that come from the Fullness of God, the virtues that we think of, such as love, belonging, helpfulness, caring, honesty, all that sort of thing. All the good, good things. Those are virtues. They all have inverses down here. They all have opposites, because in Gnostic philosophy, down here is the shadow of above. So what was a virtue originally is a vice down here, and it’s the opposite. So we have hatred, and lying, and dishonesty, and lack of trustworthiness—these sorts of things. Those are the vices that are shadows of the virtues. So that is the entirety of our psychological makeup: The perfect Self that is at the core of our being, and the ego, which is who we were born as, who we were meant to be in the personality sense. Your innate talents. The Self at the center of our souls is a fractal of the Fullness of God Who are you innately? Are you really good at something? That’s part of your ego that you were born with. And then we have this meme bundle that’s wrapped around our ego. And the things that cause us discomfort, the things we’d like to get rid of, the things that weigh us down, and dishearten us, and make us cry. Those are negative memes that have stuck onto our ego. And we can drop them by deciding to. I’m not going to do it. I’m quitting smoking this time. I’m never going to pick up a cigarette again. That is a decision, for example, to drop that I love cigarettes meme. And so if you can drop these negative memes on your own, and everyone can, if you realize it, decide it. Because we have a very strong willpower. We have free will. Free will is a characteristic of the Father, the Son, and the Aeons. We were born in that line of inheritance whereby we have free will. We just forget about it down here because of the confusion in the world. But if you enable your free will, you can drop your negative memes. If you can’t do it on your own, you can do it through prayer by appealing directly to Christ to help me. Please, Lord Jesus, take this burden from me. Heal me of this alcoholism, or whatever the thing is, right? You can do it through prayer. It can happen in a miraculous second. Or you can do it through therapy, if it’s good therapy. The idea in good therapy is to peel off those memes one at a time. Get rid of those negative memes through therapy, not through pharmaceuticals. You can’t peel off memes from pharmaceuticals, either self-administered pharmaceuticals or psychiatric drugs. That doesn’t peel the memes off of you. It just throws a wet blanket on them, but you’re still carrying them around. The best type of therapy is where you realize the negative meme and you decide with the therapist’s help to drop it. That could be something like rational emotive therapy. It can be hypnotherapy. Before I go any further, let me share with you this article my brother was citing. It’s from the blog known as Aeon. The article is called, There Are No Psychopaths: Virtually everything you know about psychopathy has been thoroughly debunked. Why does this zombie idea live on? Quoting the article, Psychopathic personality disorder, or psychopathy as it is commonly called, is one of the oldest and most researched mental health diagnoses. In modern science, psychopaths are typically described with reference to concrete symptoms, like a lack of empathy, remorse, and conscience, or more explicit behavioral signs, like predatory violence, pathological lying, and impaired impulse control. The psychopath has also become a well-known figure of fascination in popular culture, frequently portrayed in best-selling novels and cinematic thrillers, [such as the movies No Country for Old Men and Natural Born Killers]. However, there’s a problem with this idea of psychopathy. While it has been researched across hundreds of empirical studies, especially since the explosion of research in the late 1990s, there is still remarkably little evidence that corroborates popularized claims about the diagnosis. Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis in Natural Born Killers Despite enthusiasm among researchers in the 1990s and 2000s, the past two decades have been sobering. Today, virtually every claim about psychopathy has been either thoroughly refuted or failed to find empirical support in experimental settings. Psychopathy may not exist at all. I’m jumping all around in this article. The article is much longer. The link is included in the transcript to this episode, if you want to go look it up. In the vast majority of tests, [89% of all tests], no clear distinction can be made between psychopaths and control groups. That is extremely strong. So there you go. Hence the title of the article, Psychopathy Does Not Exist. This author produced a study of all the other studies of psychopathy, and this is his conclusion. An alternative answer to this question, that has so far received little attention, is the possibility that psychopathy may be an instance of what scientists colloquially refer to as a zombie idea. Ideas that have the quality of being intuitively appealing, but the idea itself is essentially a fallacious misconception of reality. Just like zombies, when these ideas have been falsified, known to be dead ideas, they somehow still manage to stubbornly stick around in the halls of prestigious universities, only to once again infect another generation of young scientists. He says, The aggregation of scientific evidence does not corroborate the idea of psychopathy. If anything, it throws the whole notion into doubt. And by the way, psychopathy is included as a personality disorder. I couldn’t think of that word when I was talking to him on the phone, but the word I was searching for is personality disorder, and those are pretty much agreed to be impossible to treat. A person is a certain way, and that’s the way they are. My brother and I both agree that so-called psychopathy is a collection of memes that have stuck onto a person’s personality, because they were not born that way. It’s not part of their eternal aeonic personality. It’s a bundle of negative memes. And like any other memes, they can be pulled off if you understand the psychology in this manner. At this point in the episode, I had planned to share about 10 minutes of the phone conversation my brother and I had on this topic but we decided to pull that segment. We felt it was possibly too lighthearted for such a serious topic and that our joshing around might be misunderstood. So we'll leave it at this. I hope you have enjoyed this look at psychopathy and a review of Gnostic psychology. So until next week, God bless us all, and Onward and Upward!

As important 30 years later as when it was released, this week Mr. Chavez & I sit down to understand a film that predicted its own time (being released a few weeks before The Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky White House Scandal would break), but is also a simpler and almost quaint version of Epstein, Donald Trump, and Ol' Billy Jeff returning to relevance. A Sex Scandal covered up by a Manufactured War, revealing the spin doctoring and propaganda that fuels every election, Wag the Dog is the rare film that grows bolder and more prescient as years pass and facts fight to be discovered. Featuring great performances from Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman (hilarious, exaggerated, and on point), and a supporting cast including Anne Heche, Willie Nelson, Denis Leary, William H. Macy, and a ridiculously unhinged Woody Harrelson, Wag the Dog has volumes to say about our government, The White House, political parties, and the lying, cheating bastards that run the machine.

German director Roland Emmerich built his reputation on spectacle—massive visual effects, global destruction, and mythic storytelling about the collapse and rebirth of civilizations. On this episode we examine Emmerich's career through three defining films: The Patriot, The Day After Tomorrow, and 2012. The Patriot cast Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger in a Revolutionary War epic developed after the success of Emmerich's 1990s blockbusters, combining large-scale battle production with historical drama and earning strong box office and Oscar attention. The Day After Tomorrow, starring Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal, turned climate catastrophe into one of the 2000s' biggest disaster spectacles, grossing over $500 million worldwide. Emmerich doubled down with 2012, featuring John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Woody Harrelson, a massive $200 million production inspired by Mayan calendar apocalypse fears that earned nearly $800 million globally. Together these films show how Emmerich refined the modern disaster blockbuster—combining cutting-edge effects, global stakes, and mythic storytelling into a cinematic brand that still shapes big-budget spectacle today.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

The People vs. Larry Flynt is a 1996 American biographical drama film directed by Miloš Forman, chronicling the rise of pornographer Larry Flynt and his subsequent clash with religious institutions and the law.[4] It stars Woody Harrelson, Courtney Love as his wife Althea, and Edward Norton as his attorney Alan Isaacman. The screenplay, written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, spans about 35 years of Flynt's life, from his impoverished upbringing in Kentucky to his court battle with Reverend Jerry Falwell, and is based in part on the U.S. Supreme Court case Hustler Magazine v. Falwell.

What's the most you've ever lost on a podcast? Erm I mean coin toss! We're back to talk about the Coen brothers once again, with their 2007 neo-western/crime-thriller adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel 'No Country for Old Men'. This film takes a simple game of cat-and-mouse between anti-hero and villain and turns into a strangely poetic tale about morality and the passage of time. A critical, commercial, and award-winning success upon release, it is often (rightfully) cited as one of the greatest modern films.TIMELINEIntro/General Discussion 0.00 - 7:15First Attempt at Film Discussion 7:15 - 10:30Brief Discussion on One Battle After Another and Marty Supreme 10:30 - 17:33No Country for Old Men 17:33 - 1:50.13Alex's Recommendation/Outro 1:50.13 - EndLike what you hear?

The Munsons are joined by Dames Marvs of Loch 22 Productions and The Dames Marvs Show to celebrate a legend, a namesake, and—most importantly—Aubrey's anniversary. That's right, we finally cover the man who played Roy E. Munson, the spiritual godfather of Munsons at the Movies: Woody Harrelson. We dive headfirst into his absolutely wild family history, including a father who was a contract killer and rumored to have ties to the JFK assassination (casual dinner table conversation, we're sure). From there, we celebrate Woody's breakout run on Cheers—over 200 episodes and five Emmy nominations—before marveling at one of the shortest marriages we've ever encountered: his blink-and-you-miss-it union with Neil Simon's daughter. The man moves fast. We can't stop gushing about White Men Can't Jump and Woody's effortless charm in it, and we're genuinely impressed by how quietly he's stacked up three Oscar nominations while building an acting résumé that shows surprising range. Whether he's living his best life in Maui and Texas with his family, running his marijuana business, or simply staying unapologetically himself (“The man has never pretended to be something he's not outside of work.” – James), Woody feels like one of the most authentic stars we've covered. We even take a moment to imagine what it would look like if he randomly showed up in a Lord of the Rings movie—because why not? After tallying the Munson Meter, we come to a surprising realization: Woody Harrelson might actually be underrated. Before this episode, we're not sure we would've even called him an A-lister. Now? We're not so sure we wouldn't.

85-year-old writer/director James L. Brooks returns with the political dramedy Ella McCay (2025). This movie bombed so hard that it was yanked from theaters before we could see it there, but we vowed to catch it on VOD, and we did! The film features an ensemble cast with Emma Mackey as Ella McCay, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Lowden, Kumail Nanjiani, Ayo Edebiri, Spike Fearn, Julie Kavner, Rebecca Hall, Albert Brooks, and Woody Harrelson. We dive deep into the world of Ella McCay in this episode, analyzing a mind-boggling script and so much more!

A sports comedy? Starring Goldie Hawn and featuring the big-screen debuts of Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson? OK, we'll bite. But will director Michael Ritchie's tale of a single mum coaching a men's American football team score a touchdown, or will Jen, Mick and Hannah send it for a gratuitous early bath?
