18. Dr. Strangelove + Fail Safe

US/USSR relations are getting strange, love, and the Janssens are here to probe behind the red curtain in their analysis of Stanley Kubrick's 'Dr Strangelove' and Sidney Lumet's 'Fail Safe', a pair of twin films from 1964 both based on a terrifying cold war 'what if'. The only problem is, one is a revered satire of power and impotence, and the other plays its plot of mutually assured destruction totally straight.But maybe the 'boring' movie deserves some attention, too - can 'Fail Safe' be rescued from its reputation as an unfunny version of 'Dr Strangelove'? Some truth bombs are gonna be dropped.

Severance Peaks Severance Peaks A Severance (not Twin Peaks) podcast. The creators of Damn Fine TV and Talking Backwards offer a unique exploration into the surreal and sinister world of the Apple TV+ series Severance, while weaving in plenty of Twin Peaks connections, theories, and absurd humor along the way. We have no idea where this will lead us, but we have a definite feeling it will be a place both mysterious and important.

The band briefly lit up GodTube in Australia and became Christian hip-hop superstars, with hits such as "It’s Just Jesus" and "A Christian on a Mission (ain’t a Christian to be dissin’)". Over six episodes, their former social media manager, Ken Lim, will dig into the archives to trace their origins working in a donut shop, why it all fell apart so quickly, and their biggest regrets — like why a brother and sister would name their band "CrossBread". The Bible might be the greatest story ever told. But this could easily be the second or third best.
