Rick and Kedro are back and recovering! We get into a lot: Rick on why Trump stole the documents and the dumbest President in US History (you'll never guess who!). Data analysis using a sample of 750,000 greetings at bars to create a spectrum of jerks (not Rick's word). Theory theatre - and Kedro intrigues Rick - we discuss how MAGA seems like another Satanic Panic that will mostly fizzle out until the next cycle. The history of recent Satanic Panics - the McMartin Preschool (BS) Trial, the West Memphis Three. What's it like at Russia's Meme Office that's helped to drive Republicans into their conspiracy mindset, Kedro gives his 3 fears that form the foundation for a public's Satanic Panic. One of Rick's favorite sayings through the scope of conspiracy. Kedro explains how he believes JFK was assassinated (not his original take), explaining the multiple shooter theory and debunking the magic bullet theory with not much evidence provided - causing Rick to have to hit the brakes to clarify this hot take. This naturally leads to the way conspiracy still lingers around Marilyn Monroe's death. Rick Rosner's Reel: Kedro's brain fog, King Richard, then: Danny DeVito snuck weed into Arnold Schwarzenegger's cigar while filming Twins in the 1980s - Rick talks about how pitching TV shows has changed since the 80s. Then, who Penguined it better: Danny DeVito or Colin Ferrell? More Superhero movie discussions, including: too many Batmen?, Batgirl is canceled, Kedro reviews Batman vs Superman in the only organic way he can, the lack of super vision in the Fantastic 4 movies, what DQ'ed Superman from fighting in WWII, why I Love Lucy holds up against other muck of its time, breaking down the most recent Batman movie, Danny DeVito vs Colin Ferrell's Penguin (who Penguined it better? - realizing that was already mentioned), Kedro's brain fog (did I mention that?), and much more. Oh, and Kedro's brain fog. Follow Rick Rosner @dumbassgenius on Twitter. VotingInfoHQ.com for voting info from Kedro / @VotingInfoHQ on Twitter. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING, KEEP ON RESISTING.

The GOP cancels millions in key Senate races (AZ, NV, PA, WI) but they’re still skulking around Ohio. Fetterman vs Oz and the Crudite Crushing. The PA Governor race - Shapiro is obliterating his opponent as of now with examples of why the Midterms represent Dems vs a relic. On Creationism and how people who mask their politics with religion are the worst. How Fox News will simply transition to the next potential tyrant instead of owning Republican failures. Kedro’s theory on the GOP’s root of modern racism / extremism. Plus, RICK ROSNER’S REEL: We discuss BARRY: Henry Winkler’s fantastic Gene M. Cousineau, Stella Adler’s historic Hollywood acting school and techniques. Rick talks about (and praises) the show Better Things on Hulu, Rick’s history of TV nudity (including Crank Yankers, a puppet show - wait, what?), related LA weirdness, and a strange push from Kedro for Rick to be on Curb Your Enthusiasm, oh - and even more.

Discovery and debunking - the strange world and history of American UFOlogy is explored as we cover UFO Investigator Chuck Zukowski. How does belief and conspiracy consume a person? In this case, it's a man's wonderful journey deeper into his obsession across the backdrop of a gruesome crime scene spanning much of the nation. The Roswell Crash Site, Snippy the first widely reported (UFOlogy-related) animal mutilation, Senators and the FBI get involved, Chuck takes the investigation on himself, has his own UFO experience, and much more. This story is also Aliens University: Strange History 101 if you want to know what MUFON researchers and alien enthusiasts are digging into as they watch the skies.

Rick provides some deep depth on the FBI visit to Mar-A-Lago and the historical nature of this moment. Trump defenders are scrambling. Time vs patience as this whole damn thing is unprecedented. The midterms, the midterms. Schiffer (who attacked the FBI office in Ohio), his radicalization, and how we all cope with loss - humor for Kedro. Lindsey Graham, Fani Willis, and Fulton County voters; E Jean Carroll's case is still open and several more against TFG. Kedro’s favorite word in the English language. A reference to the FBI corrupted under Trump spawns a running game - where we pepper in theme park ride names on a dystopian level. Food poisoning, Litigation Station, Atavism in Wonderland, and more at tRumpland! PLUS Rick Rosner’s Reel: Should SNL end at Season 50? Rick rates and reviews Prey, the Lost City, and Hustle. How many Adam Sandler films frustrate Rick. A lively Marvel discussion focused on the failings of those Netflix shows, Merrick Garland - the Man “without Fear”, Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert, where Saturday Night Live scouts talent, and more!

With all the spotlight on TFG, let’s take a moment to reflect on the achievements of the Biden-Harris Admin. We fought hard to get them elected, bask in this for at least a moment and maybe you'll crack a smile. With a balance of weird, funny, or trippy story headlines peppered in from HuffPost, UPI, AP News, and Metro UK. Goes great with coffee. 15+ wins listed! Thank you for listening, keep on resisting.
