episode Jaws 3, People 0 artwork

Jaws 3, People 0

We're back with a new season and maybe the craziest film of the series.  In the wake of Jaws 2, the producers decided to mix it up by jumping on the 80s 3D bandwagon. But going with Dennis Quaid and throwing things at the audience wasn't the original way they wanted to shake up the status quo. Halstead and Eric dig up the crazy story and answer the real questions, like: * What if instead of 3D horror shlock, we got National Lampoon comedy shlock? * What happens when a 70s horror comedy maestro meets the father of 80s teen comedies? * How is one unmade film at ground zero for the birth of the Hollywood Blockbuster Era? The answer to these questions and so many more can be found in this episode of The Inflection Cut! Show notes [https://tinyurl.com/4mh4he4x]

episode Peter Berg's Dune artwork

Peter Berg's Dune

Join the team as they glue on goatees and head for the darkest timeline, set in motion by a seemingly innocuous event: Peter Berg making his dream project Dune in 2009. It's either a VERY late Halloween episode or an early holiday gift, depending on how you feel about the careers of Denis Villeneuve, Tyler Sheridan, and many others caught up in this inflection. Among the burning questions answered: * Why did a $250 movie version of the board game Battleship happen? * How did the 2008 writers' strike affect the future of the presidential race? * What if the Yellowstoneverse was as important to 21st-century media as the MCU? The answer to these questions and so many more can be found in this episode of The Inflection Cut! Show notes: https://tinyurl.com/mv4vctuv

episode Star Trek: Planet of the Titans artwork

Star Trek: Planet of the Titans

This month, the team heads to the final frontier to look at the decade-long struggle to revive Star Trek in the 1970s.  Even though there were no new episodes in the 1970s, CBS almost immediately had regrets about Star Trek's cancellation and spent the disco era trying to find a way back to the quickly growing legions of fans. As always, Halstead and Eric are ready with the tough questions, like: * What stopped the creation of a new Paramount TV network mere months before it was to go on the air with a new Star Trek show that was deep into pre-production? * How did Lucille Ball (yes, as in I Love Lucy) save Star Trek not once, but twice? * What the heck is a Medical Parapsychologist? The answer to these questions and so many more can be found in this episode of The Inflection Cut! Show notes

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
