Album cover for "Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds" (1978)

Photo taken of a stage production of the War of the Worlds musical.

Another counterprogramming suggestion; if people want to see a good adaptation of War of the Worlds that may not have seen before, you can find decent videos of productions of the War of the Worlds musical on YouTube. I highly rec the album the stage show is based on too. One of my all-time faves.

(8/17/25): Trump sends National Guard to D.C., Weapons (SPOILERS), War of the Worlds Podcast Episode · Light Treason News · 08/17/2025 · 1h 4m

Well, we’ve done it again. We spent a full hour recapping the plot of a Zach Cregger film. First, Barbarian. Now, Weapons. Because we love his films that much.

Also, Trump sends the National Guard to D.C, and War of the Worlds (2025) is terrible.

🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

The Home is so bad I can’t in good conscience actually recommend it to anyone, and yet I want every single human being to see it just so you can know what I personally went through

Today we discuss a couple good films and maybe one of the worst films I’ve ever seen, The Home (2025), starring Mr. Pete Davidson.

Today! The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Together, The Home, Happy Gilmore 2, the trailer for Weapons, and the importance of getting off-line and finding community
