A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

Would you like to FLYYYYYY? Yes? It’s time to take a trip to Transylvania! We’ve heard rumors about a dark presence making themselves known throughout the land… Legend speaks… of DRACULA!! Thankfully Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsdale… or whatever their character’s names are capable of saving us all from vampires, werewolves, weird pod baby vampires, and one very creepy gravedigger! Only Aurora Lena (@my2t1c on Instagram) can help me figure out this mess, set right the lore, and give us a Van Helsing that we all truly need right now!

It’s time to get in the holiday spirits by talking about everyone’s favorite green guy! I wanted to make a Grinch joke here, but that’s something puny Banner would have done. Instead we’re talking about THE HULK!! It’s the final episode of season 7 of Ideal Remake! So why not end the season with a smash? Yousif Nash (@vaderfan on BlueSky) is a huge Hulk fan! So why not watch the movie that could have put the kibosh on the green man’s entire film career? There are a lot of things going on in this movie, unfortunately they’re all either happening at once or not at all. So let’s break it down, expose them to some gamma radiation and really make something that can leap into the sky!

You find yourself sitting at the airport with your spouse. You’re waiting to go to France. Neither of you want to go. Neither of you are happy. And how did you even get here? Two for the Road is a look back at the various stages of the relationship between Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney. Corsica and I decide to look at the various parts of this movie and see if we can’t come up with an Ideal Remake! But we’ll have to jump around in time so that we really understand where we’re at!

Let’s say that you’re a baby. A cute one for sure! And a fairy drops by to grant you a gift. And that gift is to be obedient to everything that you are ordered to do. That’s not… do you really have to take that gift? Well… it’s either that or become a squirrel! Looks like obedience it is! Semien Abay (@semienabay) returns to Ideal Remake to let Sam know exactly how different this movie is from the book, and together we find a way to make the book into a more faithful adaptation. We laugh, we cry, we learn that the gift of obedience sounds AWFUL. What was the fairy Lucinda thinking??

Gangs of New York is a movie about the struggles of the working class, and if YOU want to help the struggles of the working class, then remember to vote union!
