What's so intriguing about Dick? Sure, it's bursting with color and cartoon villains, but is it really for kids? Perhaps there's a quiet layer of mid-life emptiness lurking under the primary lights, snazzy costumes, Madonna's torch songs—along with her brazen banter and boobage. The Notorious J.A.M. and CK-1 dig past the dozens of celebrity cameos and the massive marketing machine—and ask the big question: Can this yell...
The Notorious J.A.M. rejoins CK-1 for a dive into the cinematic surreality that failed to make Madonna the world's biggest movie star: The ultra-low-budget, revenge fever dream A Certain Sacrifice and the helium-voiced, screwball chaos of Who's That Girl? Brace yourself for love slaves, satanic rituals, diabolical driving, cougars on the loose, and a whole lot of 'what were they thinking?'

Eye to eye, we need no words at all… except we're gonna need a lot of words (plus one secret word) for Madonna's greatest '80s tunes and a couple of controversies. Your crazy co-host, Ms. AK-47, is back to recount an unhealthy Breakfast Club obsession and her favorite songs (and least favorite fads) of 2025.

The not-so-mad DJ is back to talk 'bout Japan: the band and the country – as the winds then shift to Akiko Yano and YMO. CK-1 keeps bringing up Duran Duran, for some reasons, and I hope you like clips, because this is our clippiest to date.

Cruising smoothly before surfacing like a submarine sandwich with tasty layers of Kraftwerk and glockenspiel: Did this song inspire the entire sophisti-pop movement or a just a corny chick flick? Is it about freedom, fantasy, or the afterlife? What's a TVO? Is it different for girls? Can you get what you want if you don't know what you want? Then we chat about the new Beetlejuice movie and a Duran Duran concert...
Dial into the triumph and the tragedy (the wieners and the bluts) of a man of many names: Hans, Mr. Intercool, The Pride of Austria, The Master of Os – totally worthy of a boppy 8-song countdown.

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
