I go back to 1994 for this week’s review. Specifically the epic, action-packed Arnold Schwarzenegger spy thriller True Lies. This was James Cameron teaming up again with his Terminator for this big budget, eye-popping spectacle. Schwarzenegger plays Harry Tasker who has his wife and daughter convinced that he’s just a dull to the bone computer salesman.

I go back to 1994 for this week’s review. Specifically the epic, action-packed Arnold Schwarzenegger spy thriller True Lies. This was James Cameron teaming up again with his Terminator for this big budget, eye-popping spectacle. Schwarzenegger plays Harry Tasker who has his wife and daughter convinced that he’s just a dull to the bone computer salesman. In reality he’s a spy for the covert Omega Sector hunting down and stopping threats. Things get dicey when he hears something that makes him think his wife is having an affair and he investigates. Some terrorists really end up spoiling his investigation, just to launch a nuclear attack plot on the United States. Schwarzenegger is joined by Jamie Lee Curtis as his wife, Eliza Dushku as his daughter, Tom Arnold as his partner and the late, great Bill Paxton as “super spy” Simon.  If, amazingly you haven’t seen this, is it worth checking out? Watch my retro review of True Lies to find out. True Lies co-stars Tia Carrere, Art Malik, Grant Heslov and Charlton Heston.

Gross Anatomy Gross Anatomy Podcast Gross Antaomy is where pop culture and health culture meet.Dr. Jason Cohen and Ali address medical questions that the doc is asked by friends, family, and often strangers.We also love to talk pop culture and how it relates to health and medicine — like celebrity diets, Amy Schumer speaking out about endometriosis and our doctor reviews of medical TV and movies.We also splice in professional interviews, check out our episode with TV writer and The Resident co-creator Dr. Roshan Sethi, or our interview with famous plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Rey aka DR. 90210, and don't miss our Q&A with Miss USA Nana Meriwether and many more! The Waffle Factory Dhanin Unnithan Meet our hosts : Dhanin is the medical guy and Anikesh the political/computer science guy. Each week we try to teach each other about things that caught our whimsy in the world of movies, tv shows, science and sports.*WARNING* there is a SERIOUS risk of waffle ahead Kairos Spiritual Formation Podcast Alex Tang Join me in a continuing dialogue on everyday Christian spirituality, spiritual formation and transformation, spiritual direction, theology, Christian education, biomedical ethics, Star Trek, postmodern parenting and science fiction. I enjoy reading and watching movies. I write and preach in churches, speak in conferences and lead retreats. My other vocation is as a paediatrician and a medical educator. Geek A&E Ellen Waddell, Alec Lambert Welcome to Geek A&E, an emergency department filled with movies and TV shows that have been viscously punched in the face by mass critical opinion. Pushing the medical analogy too far our intrepid hosts Alec Lambert and Ellen Waddell. Neither are medical trained, but they have both consumed an unhealthy amount of alternative pop culture.
