We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

Season 2 of the Mandalorian begins in epic fashion. The action and effects were grand, but the story didn't seem to advance too far--with one big exception. We discuss the show's sci-fi twist on traditional western themes, and speculate what the reveal of a mystery character could mean.

The Mandalorian continues with two strong episodes. While Chapter 2 may have been essentially a side quest, the end reveal was a worthy payoff. And Chapter 3 sets the table for the direction of the series onward. We discuss the compact nature of each episode and how the first three episodes, taken together, form what could be considered "Act One" of a story. Despite a singular narrative path, we're deeply invested in the characters (especially Baby Yoda, of course). What are your favorite parts of the series?…

The Mandalorian kicks off with a great premiere episode. The highly stylized visuals were a treat, but our main focus was whether the Mandalorian was effectively characterized. Of course we discuss the big reveal at the end, and what it means for the series going forward. What did you think of the show? And how's your experience been with Disney+?

San Diego Comic-Con is a huge event, in size, scope, and hype. What's it like to be there? We have a first-hand account of what it's like to brave the masses and experience the convention (and all the fabulous cosplay). There were gobs of announcements and we discuss some of the biggest ones, including the Picard trailer, Marvel's Phase Four timeline, and movies trailers for Terminator: Dark Fate and Top Gun: Maverick. We also take a look at the contenders hoping to assume the mantle of "the next Game of Thrones." There's Netflix's The Witcher, HBO's GoT prequel, and Amazon's Lord of the Rings show--which are you most looking forward to?…

Spider-Man: Far From Home 36:18

In Spider-Man: Far From Home, the teen webslinger must juggle his feelings for MJ while dealing with deadly Elementals and a hero from another reality--all while under the big shadow of Tony Stark's legacy. In this podcast we look at how successfully the movie pulled all those elements together. As the final movie of Marvel's Phase 3, Far From Home had the duty of being the final note to a long cinematic story sequence, being an independent Spider-Man movie, and laying some groundwork for Phase 4. We discuss how it all fits together, especially the importance of the post-credit scenes. While it's fun speculating on Phase 4, the film also serves some meaty topics like Mysterio, Peter Parker's latest suit, and how this incarnation of Spidey compares to previous ones.…

Rogue One 51:12

A long time ago... we recorded a podcast. It was epic. But like a satellite on the fringe of a black hole's singularity, it never could escape that pull and go free into the universe. Fortunately, it didn't get drawn into the maw, forever gone. Because now it's here! Yes it's more than two years old, but due to intense space/time dilation for those in the podcast it's still January 2017. In this lost episode we discuss Rogue One. As the first of the "Star Wars Stories", did it skew too closely to the main Skywalker storyline? We discuss the movie's balance of satisfying battle scenes with disappointing characters, and how the reshoots might have shaped the overall story. We also consider whether the fully CGI characters were believable, and what the technology means for cinema going forward. Finally, what type of Star Wars anthology movies would you like to see? The non-CGI Quorum consisted of Brian, Byrne, and Michele.…

After eight seasons and 73 episodes, the epic saga of HBO's Game of Thrones comes to a conclusion. But was it a satisfying ending? Before our main discussion, we slip in a prediction segment we recorded hours before the final episode aired. How'd we do? Well... We then look at Season 8 as a whole, unpacking the issues of the last six episodes. With the finale, we weigh how it performed in the dual-role of a season 8 episode and series finale. Were there any surprises? Did it pack an emotional punch? We also look ahead to what George R.R. Martin has on his plate, and speculate how different the books of A Song of Ice and Fire will be from the TV series. The Quorum High Council consisted of Brian and Byrne.…

After more than a decade of buildup, the MCU's main story arc comes to a conclusion with Avengers: Endgame. Does the epic film serve as a fitting finale to not just Phase 3, but the entire cinematic journey so far? For our review we discuss how some characters' stories ended, and whether the end of their arc was fulfilling. We also attempt to unravel the tricky concept of time travel and alternate universes. And what could be next for the MCU? The Quorum assembled for this episode was Brian and Byrne.…

The Quorum reconvenes after a lengthy recess to review and discuss Captain Marvel! We examine where the movie fits within the MCU, specifically how it relates to the upcoming Avengers: Endgame. But, how does it stand on its own? While discussing the de-aging technology used for Nick Fury, we riff on whether it would (or should) be used on another venerable franchise: Indiana Jones. We’re looking forward to sharing more episodes soon! Our Endgame review is right around the corner. Thanks for still listening after all these years!

The BSG and sci-fi community lost a great one on February 7 with the passing of Richard Hatch. Richard was an engaging and friendly advocate for the show. I was fortunate to have met him a few times over the years, and he appeared as a guest on our podcast a couple times. He was always a wonderful spirit, and so passionate about what made Battlestar Galactica great. As a tribute, here we replay an interview we did from 2009. He will be missed…So say we all.…
