Superman leads the charge. We open on casting chaos—who deserves the cape, why reboots miss, and the one decision that makes or breaks the Man of Steel. It’s fast, funny, and a little heated.
From there, we widen the lens: 007 rumors that won’t die, Netflix’s sequel machine, and a zombie franchise that refuses to stay buried. We’re not chasing gossip—we’re chasing the why behind what sticks.
Culture gets its receipts. Jaws isn’t just trivia; it’s a case study in how a single film can change summer. We press on music that ruins the mood, method vs. “precious” acting, and the tiny production choices that turn scenes into obsessions.
Plus: Denzel’s no-ties Top 3, Jeff Leach’s “Ghost,” Happy Gilmore 2 hopes, radio-intern war stories, and yes—our Joe Exotic booking. Come for the cape fight, stay for the takes. If you pick a hill, defend it in the comments.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
