Steven Spielberg didn't just make movies. He made the movies that made you love movies. From the shark that kept a generation out of the ocean to the robot boy at the bottom of the sea, from Normandy Beach to the surface of an alien mothership, Spielberg has spent fifty years using popular cinema to ask the questions that matter most: What are we afraid of? What do we reach toward? What do we owe the people we love, the people we've lost, and the people we've never met? Spielberg Reloaded tells the story of one of the most important filmmakers who ever lived — one film at a time. Each episode dives into a single chapter of his work: the craft, the cultural moment, and the questions that have followed his films long after the credits rolled. Portions of this podcast are created with the help of A.I.

True Crime
Crown and Controversy - Norway tells the story of a monarchy unlike any other in Europe - a royal family balancing duty, scandal, modern celebrity, and personal crisis in full public view. From the controversial rise of Crown Princess Mette-Marit to the extraordinary marriage of Princess Märtha Louise and self-described shaman Durek Verrett, this series explores the events that have transformed Norway’s royal family from one of Europe’s most beloved monarchies into one of its most closely watched. Along the way, we’ll examine the health struggles facing the future queen. Mette-Marit has battled pulmonary fibrosis for years, and recent developments have raised serious concerns about her condition, with public discussions now including the possibility of a future lung transplant. We’ll also follow the unprecedented legal saga surrounding Marius Borg Høiby, whose criminal case has sent shockwaves through Norway and placed the royal family under intense scrutiny. The allegations, court proceedings, and public reaction have become one of the biggest challenges the monarchy has faced in decades. Featuring kings, queens, heirs, scandals, celebrity culture, family drama, health battles, and questions about the future of the monarchy itself, Norway’s Royal Rebels is the complete story of a royal family navigating the pressures of the modern age while the entire nation watches. New episodes explore the people, controversies, and turning points shaping the Norwegian royal family — from palace corridors in Oslo to international headlines around the world.

Unfollowing because it downloads other shows that “I may like” several times a week. Very annoying.
Umm, Consent?!? Hello?!?

I love this show, I love the concept...so much negativity comes at us constantly, this is a great 'thoughts and energy reset!' Yes, there are ads. That's not the fault of hosts, really...we all deserve to earn a living. Honestly, we all have 'commercial breaks' in our '9 to 5.' I don't mind them. I've considered (many times, actually!) supporting the show / network yet never have due to the invasive 'you may like *random show*' drop into my feed. No. I won't. If I wanted another show, I would find it just as I've found my other 103 subscribed pods. It's called CONSENT and I'm saying NO! STOP FORCING OTHERS AND THEIR PODCASTS INTO MY FEED!
