  1. At the Crossroads - Lessons from 2025 and the Uncertain Path to 2026

    12/27/2025

    At the Crossroads - Lessons from 2025 and the Uncertain Path to 2026

    Billy Dees with Guest CoHost Cynthia Elliott In this episode, the conversation ranged widely across some of the biggest cultural, technological, and political shifts shaping our moment. Billy and Cynthia explored the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and what it could mean for jobs, human purpose, and the future of work, while also touching on broader concerns about the planet and the possibility of major technological and energy breakthroughs that could reshape civilization.  The discussion expanded into questions of consciousness—whether emerging technologies might change how we understand the human mind itself—and how a new space race is reigniting global competition, innovation, and ambition beyond Earth. On the cultural front, the program examined the growing divide between so-called “red pill” toxic masculinity and a healthier model of men grounded in emotional intelligence, accountability, and balance. The toll of social media was another major theme, with burnout, privacy erosion, and digital overload raising serious questions about how connected society should be. Politically, the discussion took a critical look at the Democratic Party’s current state of disarray and messaging struggles. The episode wrapped with an analysis of Hollywood and celebrity culture, questioning whether stars still hold the influence they once did as audiences grow increasingly skeptical, fragmented, and disengaged.

  3. Analysis of the Mark Kelly and Democrats’ “Illegal Orders” Message – What Was the Purpose?

    Analysis of the Mark Kelly and Democrats’ “Illegal Orders” Message – What Was the Purpose?

    In this episode, we break down the controversial statement released by six Democratic lawmakers warning that U.S. service members are not obligated to follow illegal orders—a point already well-established in military training. Critics on the right have labeled them the “seditious six,” arguing the message was unnecessary and inflammatory. We explore why this statement was made, what it implies, and how it has heightened public tension and speculation about what might unfold in the near future. We also shift to a broader discussion about America’s growing frustration with violent crime. As many citizens feel that the justice system is failing them, new proposals aimed at holding judges more accountable are gaining attention. We examine what this means for communities and for the direction of public policy moving forward. You can find Billy Dees on X @BillyDees https://x.com/BillyDees

    Five Reasons Why the Hollywood Box Office is Losing its Glamour

    (00:00:00) Five Reasons Why the Hollywood Box Office is Losing its Glamour (00:00:01) Welcome to Billy D's Podcast (00:01:28) The Changing Landscape of Hollywood (00:05:21) The Streaming Revolution and Its Impact (00:11:43) The Decline of Traditional Marketing (00:17:16) The Activism Problem in Hollywood (00:24:52) Rising Costs and Franchise Fatigue (00:28:36) The CGI Dilemma (00:37:48) Closing Remarks and Subscription Information (00:39:34) Podcast Subscription and Social Media Promotion In this episode of The Billy Dees Podcast, Billy takes a deep dive into the long-term decline of the Hollywood box office. After welcoming new listeners and explaining the show’s mix of interviews and commentary, he focuses on why theatrical movie attendance has been shrinking for years—well before and after the pandemic. Billy outlines five major factors contributing to the downturn: The Rise of Streaming – Audiences have grown accustomed to watching new releases at home quickly and conveniently, diminishing the appeal of the big-screen experience.Declining Marketing Impact – Traditional advertising like TV commercials, radio spots, and trailers no longer reach audiences the way they once did, making it harder for studios to build excitement around new films.Actor Activism and Image Erosion – The once “larger-than-life” mystique of movie stars has faded as celebrities’ activism, endorsements, and overexposure blur the line between performers and everyday people.High Ticket and Concession Prices – Rising costs make a simple night at the movies a significant expense for families, especially when compared to inexpensive home entertainment.Franchise Fatigue and Weak Original Content – Reboots, sequels, repetitive superhero movies, and overreliance on CGI have left audiences underwhelmed and less willing to spend money on familiar formulas.Billy also reflects on how Hollywood’s creative priorities have shifted from passionate filmmaking to short-term commercial strategies, contributing to the fading luster of cinema. He closes by thanking listeners and reminding them that the podcast is always available without paywalls on all major podcast platforms.

    Common Sense Reasons Why the Moon Landing Was Not a Hoax

    In this episode, Billy Dees takes a rational look at one of the most persistent conspiracy theories — that the Apollo moon landings were a hoax. While this podcast won’t convince the true believers, it offers a clear, fact-based perspective for those who are weary of misinformation and want to understand the evidence with common sense. Billy explores how multiple nations — including the former Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Spain — independently tracked the Apollo missions in real time. He also highlights how modern space agencies from Japan, China, India, and Europe have since photographed and verified the Apollo landing sites. Finally, the episode takes a fascinating look at what the astronauts actually left behind on the lunar surface — and some of the items might surprise you.

    From a Marketing Perspective - How the Browns Damaged Their Brand

    A professional sports franchise is more than just a team—it’s a brand. For decades, the Cleveland Browns embodied a legacy of grit and loyalty, earning a national following despite never reaching a Super Bowl. Their underdog spirit defined them, and fans held onto hope for that one fairytale season. But in recent years, that identity has faded. Controversial decisions, questionable trades, and a disconnect between leadership and the fanbase have left the once-proud franchise struggling with its image. In this episode, Billy Dees explores how the Browns’ brand unraveled—examining what went wrong inside the organization, how fans’ perceptions shifted, and what this story says about the delicate balance between loyalty, leadership, and legacy in professional sports.
