Nick Fury attempts to go off the grid in Washington, DC, which is like trying to disappear at your own birthday party. Meanwhile, someone very dangerous is standing in the middle of the street, and he is in absolutely no hurry.
Mandy is broadcasting from Greece, where thousands of years of myth-making about heroes, gods, and monsters have made her absolutely certain the gang needs to figure out which god they worship, which hero they’d follow into a burning building, and why the shark in Jaws is the most terrifying monster in cinema precisely because it does not care about you at all.
Most fitness advice is written for people who can hold a plan in their heads and feel rewarded by incremental progress. That’s not ADHD. This week, Pete and Srdjan make the case that the gym might be the most powerful cognitive intervention for ADHD that doesn’t require a prescription — and explain exactly why the standard playbook keeps failing the people who need it most.
For a lot of women, perimenopause isn’t just hot flashes. It’s the moment the ADHD they’ve been quietly managing for decades suddenly isn’t manageable anymore. Linda Roggli joins Pete and Nikki to talk about why, and what you can actually do about it.
In our Thinking Machines series, we dig into “I Am Mother”—a post-apocalyptic sci-fi about an AI, a sealed bunker, and whether a machine that truly cares is the most dangerous kind.
Pete spent the better part of two decades building his presence on the early social web — and then watched, one algorithm update at a time, as the internet that was supposed to be democratic became something else entirely. Tommy just wants to tell you about his dog.
Andy Weir sent Ryan Gosling to space with an alien rock puppet and somehow made the most emotionally devastating buddy movie of the year. The Film Board breaks down why Project Hail Mary works — and whether it’s The Martian in cosplay or something genuinely new.
Five minutes, two scenes: Steve Rogers’ most honest conversation and Nick Fury’s worst commute. Kyle, Pete, and Matthew figure out why they’re making the same argument.
Practical effects, paranoid ensemble, Morricone’s score: producer/writer Josh Hyams on John Carpenter’s The Thing and what makes it still unmatched.
Your ADHD brain isn’t necessarily getting worse as you age — but it is changing, and the science is finally starting to catch up. Dr. Brandy Callahan brings her research on executive function, allostatic burden, and dementia risk to help us understand what’s actually happening, and what we can do about it.
