The Cinesportstalk Podcast Network

It’s Season 8, Episode 15 and the second half is rolling—Farace, Keith, and Producer Joe (holding it down behind the wall) are on board, while Rodriguez has called in “out sick” (or maybe just hiding from trade rumors and Statcast charts).The Mets have stormed back into first place with four straight wins and a sweep of the Angels, and now all eyes are on the looming trade deadline. Who’s on the wish list? Names like Dylan Cease, Mitch Keller, and a few spicy bullpen arms are swirling, and the front office is lurking around every available center fielder who can actually catch a fly ball.Meanwhile, the youth movement is in full effect. The Baby Mets are all getting their reps—maybe to boost their trade value, or maybe just to keep the fans from rioting. Francisco Alvarez’s return has been electric: he’s not just homering, he’s doing everything right behind the plate and at bat, giving the lineup some real life just when it needed it most.The staff is finally getting healthy, with Blackburn and Megill on the w

The Put it in the Books Show – Season 8 Episode 14: Grading the Mets, Saluting the Captain & Second Half HopesIt’s the All-Star break hangover edition, and the whole gang—Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe (behind the wall)—is back to hand out the most highly anticipated, hotly debated, and barely scientific report cards in all of Mets Nation. First up: first half grades for everything and everyone. The lineup gets graded (spoiler: Soto brings the curve way up), the pitching staff gets a harsh look, management faces its own midterm review, and yes, even the fans are getting a grade—good luck if you’ve ever left a game in the 7th inning.But it’s not all tests and critiques. Saturday at Citi Field is all about the Captain, David Wright, as he finally gets his number retired. Expect stories, nostalgia, and a little envy from the current roster—because let’s face it, nobody’s made the hot corner look as smooth in Queens since.We’ll also break down the real keys to the Mets’ championship push in the se

The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast: Episode #111 on PopCulturePros (or #196 if you’ve survived this long without needing antacids)Title: Flamingly Straight, Hetero Fest and Elon MuskThis week, the BLC crew gets extra crispy as they plunge beak-first into the highly controversial world of fried chicken rankings. KFC? Popeyes? Raising Cane’s? Someone’s getting canceled, and it’s probably Fred.But that’s just the appetizer. We also dig into the glorious disaster known as Hetero Awesome Fest—because nothing screams “secure masculinity” like screaming it at a festival with no shade and questionable music choices.And of course, it wouldn’t be a proper episode without a few swipes at Elon Musk, who’s once again out here trying to reinvent wheels that nobody asked for. Plus, we toss in a political minute so unserious, it’ll make your group chat look like C-SPAN.So grab your napkins, brace yourself for chicken-fueled chaos, and dig in to Episode #111. It’s greasy, it’s ridiculous, and it’s everything your wee

Season 30 Episode 11: "Look Up In The Sky"Big summer movies, bigger opinions—DONMEGA returns with Episode #187 of Am I On The Air? on the PopCulturePros Network, ready to break down the hottest headlines in TV and film for the week of July 2 to July 8, 2025.This week’s episode is stacked with non-spoiler movie thoughts, including an early review of Superman—is James Gunn’s new Man of Steel truly super, or just another hero on the block? Plus, the dinos are back in Jurassic World: Rebirth, the political antics fly in Heads Of State, and we find out if The Luckiest Man In America really lives up to his name.As always, you can expect TV news, streaming picks, and the perfect mix of sharp wit and pop culture passion from podcast veteran DONMEGA. Look up in the sky—it’s a brand-new episode, and it’s ready for takeoff. Hit play and jump into the conversation.

The prodigal son returns—Farace is back behind the mic and instantly claims credit for the Mets’ latest turnaround. Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe (as always, holding things down behind the wall) join him for another jam-packed episode, and the Mets have actually given them something to smile about heading into the All-Star break.First up: David Peterson is officially an All-Star, joining Edwin Diaz, Lindor, and Alonso on the NL squad—because nothing says “2024 Mets” like David Peterson with an ASG patch. Meanwhile, the biggest snub in baseball? Juan Soto, and you can expect a full-blown Farace rant aimed straight at Michael Kay, who just can’t let go and still monitors Soto like he’s waiting for him to put on pinstripes again. Michael, buddy, it’s over. Let it go.The Mets just took 2 of 3 from both the Brewers and the Yankees at Citi Field, then split the first two in Baltimore to start the road trip. Offense is finally waking up—especially the Fab Four of Nimmo, Lindor, Soto, and Alonso, who are all sta

The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast: Episode #110 on PopCulturePros (or #195 for those still clinging to reality by a thread)Title: A Working TittyThis week, it’s all chaos and cracked molars as the BLC crew returns with another gloriously unfiltered episode. We kick things off with a tragic tale of dental destruction involving—of course—a chicken wing. Turns out poultry is dangerous in more ways than one.From there, things spiral beautifully into a deep, confused, and mildly traumatized review of the movie Sinners, which is allegedly a musical... but only in the way karaoke at a gas station might count.We’re also talking microplastics, because apparently, everything you eat is slowly turning you into a Barbie doll. Then it’s on to shark attacks, AI romance, and the looming question: are robot girlfriends less exhausting, or just glitchier?So grab your headphones, protect your teeth, and brace yourself—Episode #110 is everything you didn’t know you needed and probably shouldn’t have heard in public.

Our Spoiler Discussion on the new MCU Disney+ Series Ironheart! #Ironheart #Marvel #MCU #MarvelStudios

Rodriguez and Keith are on duty tonight, Producer Joe is (as always) behind the wall and currently 75/25 on whether his WiFi will actually hold up long enough for him to join the misery. Farace is out again—not because he’s jumping ship (he’d rather eat a cheesesteak in Philly than wear another team’s gear)—but because his absence has sent the Mets into such a tailspin that he’s now on a spiritual quest to find answers, a working bullpen, and maybe a few hits with runners in scoring position.The Mets? Well, they just got outscored 30-4 by the Pirates, which is about as fun as a root canal with no anesthesia. The losing streak is now a full-on embarrassment, the offense has completely vanished, and the rotation looks like it was built from spare parts found at a Staten Island garage sale. Citi Field has gone from electric to existential crisis in record time.With the All-Star break mercifully approaching, the guys will break down what (if anything) can save this team. Trade for an actual pitcher? A real bat? C

The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast: Episode #109 on PopCulturePros (or #194 for those transcending time and logic)Title: Starseeds, Comedy, and Cosmic Healing with Lily LiThis week, the BLC rocket ship launches straight into the cosmos with special guest Lily Li, founder of Awakening Star Seeds—because what this show really needed was more *interdimensional chaos*. From starseed activation to light language and full-on cosmic energy clearing, this episode delivers the most spiritual nonsense we’ve ever been a part of—and we mean that with love.Lily drops some serious galactic knowledge, explains why some of us might be aliens with 401Ks, and even gives our hosts a live, on-air energetic tune-up. Fred tries to translate light language (spoiler: it doesn’t go well), Parker questions his entire human existence, and Allan may or may not have ascended during the recording.It’s part TED Talk, part sci-fi therapy session, and somehow still all BLC. So whether you're here for the healing, the laughs, or

Season 30 Episode 9: "28 Episodes Later"DONMEGA is back with Episode #185 of Am I On The Air? on the PopCulturePros Network, diving into another week of chaos, carnage, and pop culture gold from June 18–24, 2025.This week’s non-spoiler movie thoughts include 28 Years Later—the long-awaited return to the rage-fueled universe. Does it deliver the dread or just ride the nostalgia wave? Plus, we talk Deep Cover, a sharp new crime thriller that’s flying under the radar.On the TV side, Marvel returns to the spotlight with the first three episodes of Ironheart. Is this the comeback the MCU’s been waiting for, or just more mid-metal? We break it all down, plus more fresh content and streaming picks you’ll want to know about.With his trademark insight and veteran presence, DONMEGA brings another packed and punchy episode of Am I On The Air? Press play and let’s see what survived—28 episodes later.

Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe are running the show tonight while Farace is out… getting his hair done. Yep, even bald guys need “me time,” and rumor has it he’s spending three hours at the salon debating gel vs. mousse.Meanwhile, the Mets are feeling the heat—some of it good, most of it not so much. Juan Soto is on another planet right now: 10 home runs and 18 RBI in June and absolutely torching baseballs like he’s got a personal vendetta. But outside of Soto and a few sparks, the offense has hit the snooze button lately, struggling to get anything going with runners in scoring position.On the mound, the pitching staff has had its ups and downs. Sean Manaea is temporarily shut down with an elbow issue after getting a cortisone shot, while Frankie Montas gave fans something to smile about with a sharp Mets debut—five scoreless innings and nine punchouts.The guys will break down the team’s recent slide, what’s been going wrong, and how the upcoming All-Star break could give this banged-up squad a much-need

The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast: Episode #108 on PopCulturePros (or #193 if you're still counting inappropriate titles like a champ)Title: Superman 9...inches – Nano ButtsThis week, the BLC crew truly outdoes themselves with an episode that’s equal parts nonsense, nerd rage, and nano-sized absurdity. Starting strong with a *very* questionable Superman theory (is he packing heat or just truth and justice?), things only get weirder from there.Fred leads a pop culture breakdown so off-the-rails it includes Ozzy Osbourne’s DNA-themed merch, a eulogy roast of celebrity deaths, and at least one conspiracy involving clone armies and surfing gangs. Because of course it does.Parker brings the chaos, Allan tries to bring reason (and fails), and somewhere in the mix, Anne Burrell catches a completely undeserved shout-out.So grab your cape, shrink your expectations, and dive into Episode #108—a nano-sized journey into super-powered stupidity you won’t want to miss.
