Sachlich richtig"Der Journalismus produziert sinnleere Geschichten" - Professor Michael Haller im GesprächMichael Haller hat Heerscharen von Journalisten ausgebildet. Als Professor an der Uni Leipzig oder Hamburg Media School. Und als Verfasser von Büchern wie "Die Reportage", "Das Interview" oder "Recherchieren". Sie sind Standardwerke und werden seit Jahrzehnten überarbeitet neu aufgelegt und von Redakteuren benutzt.Haller wusste wovon er schreibt, denn er hat selbst als Journalist gearbeitet: Bei der Basler Zeitung, der Weltwoche, der Zeit und dem Spiegel.Nach seiner Emeritierung hat er Studien verfasst. Zum Beispiel untersucht wie die Medien über die Flüchtlingskrise berichtet haben. Das Ergebnis hat vielen nicht gepasst, es gab Gegenwind. Gera...
2025-11-071h 26Sachlich richtigMichael Meyen über "Staatsfunk", Kontaktschuld und CancelnMichael Meyen wuchs wie Anne und Alex in der DDR auf. Er arbeitete erst als Journalist bei MDR und LVZ, ehe er Professor für Medienwissenschaften an der LM-Universität in München wurde. Doch seit einigen Jahren knirscht es, will ihn die Uni-Leitung disziplinieren und die Bezüge kürzen. Der Vorwurf: Meyen legt die Freiheit der Forschung zu weit aus und delegitimiere die freiheitlich-demokratische Grundordnung. Was war eigentlich passiert und wie geht es nun weiter? Was macht seine "Freie Medienakademie"? Darüber haben wir mit Michael Meyen gesprochen. Auch darüber, was die Kampagne der "Süddeutschen Zeitung"...

40 Going On 14This is the end...As it has been said "All good things must come to an end", in this case, it's just us. We've been on a hiatus for quite a while now, and have had discussions on where the show is going, what our plans are and have come to a decision together. After 10 years we're calling it, and retiring the show. This decision didn't come easy, when you do something weekly for ten years suddenly stopping is quite a change.Mike, Patrick, Joel and Josh want to thank all the listeners we've had over the last year.

We're watching the 1986 "Trick or Treat" and 2007's "Trick or Treat" anthology of terrors that includes Pumkinhead Sam, that little burlap headed nightmare. It's a convoluted mess of a heavy-metal curses, werewolf packs, zombie curses and more!

40 Going On 14When A Stranger Calls: 1979 vs 2006"Have you checked the children?" Just the phrase makes your eye twitch a little. In the days before Creepypasta, there were urban legends passed down by word of mouth. The guys at '40 Going On 14' remember the one this movie is based on, and it's a doozy. However, what nobody told us is that Charles Durning was going to be our hero. Or that 75% of the film adaptation would be the journey of a man in search of Colleen Dewhurst. Who knew? In 2006 they remade this little terrifying tale. Did they crank up the crank calling chaos or did...

In 2002, Jeremy Renner, cooked up a rather delicious performance in his direct to video junk food film simply called 'Dahmer'. In 2022, Ryan Murphy created a 10 episode smörgåsbord of a show with Evan Peters taking on the culinary curiosities of Jeffery Dahmer in 'Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story' on Netflix.
While not a monster in the traditional sense, these true tales of terror are heinous and horrific. Turn ou...

The Sanderson Sisters have cast a spell over the hearts and minds of millions. Played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy, they're gleefully evil but a tad bit ignorant.
After years of waiting, Disney finally made a sequel to this Halloween classic. Mike, Pat, Joel and Josh are hopping on their respective brooms and heading into the night to discuss if it was worth the wait.

These two films couldn't be more different and we'll tell you why. Not too mention revealing our favorite hits of the King.

Listener Nikki suggested we talk about the 1999 teen classic, 'Cruel Intentions' and compare it to the brand new release from Netflix, 'Do Revenge'. We're coming out from hiding under the table, as the spiders are finally going away, to discuss these rich kid revenge stories. We couldn't say no when we realized that Sarah Michelle Gellar couldn't say no and was in both projects. Somebody is going to pay for the things we say in this show. Let's just hope that we don't end up the same w...

40 Going On 14Pinocchio! Disney’s 1940 version vs the 2022 Remake!I'm a real boy! Not yet. Before you can reach your goal, you first have to watch the original 1940 '#Pinocchio' and the Tom Hanks re-telling from 2022. Only after this can you achieve your real-boyness. At least that's what the blue fairy told us. However, we think she may be just be wanting to sell us an extended car warranty.

Because nobody puts Baby Houseman there! That's right, we're dancing all dirty-like as we grab Patrick Swayze and Abigail Breslin and spin them around the floor like we just buffered it clean. While 'Dirty Dancing' may be a classic piece of nostalgia, the made for TV film may just be a piece of something else. Turn up that amazing soundtrack and pull out your authentic, autographed Jennifer Grey cardboard standup and let's dance like there's no tomorrow. This show may...

With 40 Going on 14 taking a break right now, we're reposting some throwback shows!
The future is a scary place to be. If the movies have taught us anything, it’s that a dystopian society is not far off, or perhaps it’s already here? What on earth are we talking about this week? That’s right, it’s ‘Rollerball’! In 1975, they predicted what life would be like in 2018 and well, let's just say they weren't too far off the mark.
This week we have the '75 Rollerball with James Caan up against the 2002 remake with Chris K...

40 Going On 14Dungeons & Dragons and Beyond! D&D from ADD to D&D 5th!YES! The new Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves trailer dropped at #SDCC yesterday! It's looking great, and we're excited that #D&D is getting the right treatment for once! Check out the trailer and then listen to our Dungeons & Dragons show!
Years ago, we discovered a game that allowed us to become someone else, a fighter, ranger, swashbuckler, thief, or wizard. Dungeons & Dragons! This game introduced us to worlds of our own creation, monsters that needed slaying, princesses that needed saving and treasure that needed looting, or in some of our cases, just outright stealing.
The game (and others like...

We've always been nerds. However, there used to be a time when that wasn't cool. Back then, we had a neat little cartoon, that somehow incited a riot. Now days, we have a new cartoon, that might just do the same.
We are taking a trip into the world of Dungeon's and Dragons. From its roots in the 1983 original animated series and in the brand new 2021 'Legend of...

What do Jeff Goldblum, Brent Spiner and Judd Hirsch have in common? A rampant hatred for alien invaders. That’s right, kids. It’s the ‘Independence Day’ episode! This week, we’re suiting up in our flight gear and flying our jets right up that alien motherships tail pipe. It’s time to punch those giant, green laser shooting aliens right in the face when the original 1996 version faces off against the 2016!

Yes, the one person who is both the keystone on which an event occurs (or at least his credit card is) and the "leaf on the wind" which blows wherever the wants and needs of the bride take him. Yes, we're watching the 1991 #SteveMartin version up against the 2022 HBO #AndyGarcia remake of a remake. Along with this you'll get bizarre TikTok sandwich stories from Josh, #CricketFacts from Pat and even more. Join us as we walk down the aisle to give away...

Did Ben Stiller really direct the episodes? How many pieces of flare are truly required? All of these secrets will be revealed! Don't sever our connection!

(#MerylStreep too!) This week, we're enjoying ladies guild's hydrangea arrangement presentation or is it 'The Manchurian Candidate'? The details are unclear, but #DenzelWashington and Frank #Sinatra will help sort it all out. Put away the playing cards and ignore anyone calling you by your full name, because we need you focused.

Humans try to befriend them. Aliens shoot the humans. War begins. This week, we're boarding the storybook train for H.G. Wells classic story 'War of the Worlds'. Mike, Pat, Joel and Josh are discussing the finer points of the 1953 Byron Haskin film adaptation vs the 2005 #TomCruise and #StevenSpielberg update. While not as much dogfighting as in #TopGun, there will be loads of shooting, vaporizing and bird law, as it's us vs the suction cupped fingered them. Who will win this 'War of the Worlds'?

Get ready to solve some mysteries with #ChipNDale, Zipper, #Gadget and good ol' Monterey Jack. All of the goofiness, good times and close shaves, we're doing a deep dive all the way into #Russian Gadget Hackwrench cults. (That's a thing, really.)

You're going to have to tune in to this very Canadian #KITH episode of '40 Going On 14' to find out! We all have our comedy heroes. Even our heroes have heroes. For a lot of comedians out there, these guys are their heroes. (That word has no meaning now, after saying it so much.) Either listen to us first or watch the new series on #Amazonprime and bi...
2022-05-201h 2140 Going On 14It’s the ”I Love Lucy Show” also starring ”Being the Ricardos” from Amazon Prime!If you're not familiar with Lucille Ball, you may have been living under a rock for the past 70+ years. For this very special episode, we're revisiting the classic TV sitcom 'I Love Lucy'. We're also fast forwarding to the recent Amazon Prime biopic from Aaron Sorkin called 'Being the Ricardos'.
All four of us grew up with wacky antics of Lucy, Desi, Fred and Ethel. We laughed, we cried and we all wanted a job at a chocolate factory. But there is so much more to this story. So much behind the scenes.

It can make or break a show and is your first impression of what's to come. It can also cross over and become a Billboard hit song, unless you're the theme from 'Star Trek: Enterprise', but that's another story. On this memory show, we're digging into the finer points of the show intro. Which one is our favorite? Which one makes us rage quit the series? Well, after our own intro, you'll find out! At this point, there are so many earworms in my head, I don't think I'll ever get...
2022-05-101h 3640 Going On 14Plan 9 From Outer Space – Was Ed Wood a Genius or a Madman?The worst movie of all time? I beg to differ, (At least Joel does.) but that is the nomenclature it has been saddled with. (Yes, we're reviewing "Plan 9 From Outer Space" this week, that 1957 Ed Wood sci-fi film that set the bar at a certain height.) Despite this, there was a remake in 2015 by the soon to be labeled genius, John Johnson (Don't hold your breath on this one.). There will be blood in this episode, as opinions vary wildly, Edward D. Wood Jr has that effect on people. Can you handle the unfiltered facts, as they are the truth...
2022-05-021h 2640 Going On 14Jackass Forever – All the Knoxville, Steve-O and Bam you can handle!No, this show isn't all about us. Although, we are all jackasses in our own right. We're actually talking about Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam and the rest of the gang as we chronicle their history of super stunts, super gross outs and super hilarious moments, it's the #Jackass show.
The boys of Jackass were viral video pioneers, when the internet was still in its infancy. They set the standard for what turned into long history of spin off shows, copycats and people that took this to the next level.
With their recent 4th film, are these idiots still made of...

This year brought us Sir Kenneth Branagh's retelling of 'Death on the Nile'. We're pitting it against the Peter Ustinov 1978 version and finding out who solves the murder first! Mustache vs mustache!!
There's no one quite like Agatha Christie's master detective. This is why his stories continue to be told over the decades. Hop on the big podcast boat of death, as there's been a murder.... on the Nile and '40 Going On 14' is going...

2022-03-271h 2740 Going On 14West Side Story 1961 vs 2021We tend to break out into song, a lot. However, we're not much on dancing. If these movies have taught us anything, it's that in the 1950's, both things happened a LOT. Especially in the midst of gang violence and tragic love stories. In 1961, Robert Wise, Rita Moreno and Natalie Wood gave us the original West Side Story, an adaptation of this Broadway production. In 2021, Steven Spielberg and Rita Moreno are giving us the re-telling of this classic tale. Get your dancing Chuck Taylor's out of their mothballs and prepare your best Russ Tamblyn impression. We're kicking it old school...

Everyone loves a good dinosaur movie, but up until 1993, there really weren’t any really good dinosaur movies out there!
