Filling in for Dave Weekley, Coop welcomes entertainment journalist Kristyn Burtt for a wide-ranging conversation on how fast-moving forces are reshaping Hollywood. The two dig into AI’s sudden takeover of the industry — from Disney’s billion-dollar OpenAI investment to SAG-AFTRA’s scramble to protect actors’ voices and likenesses — and why 2025 marks a point of no return. Kristyn also explains how Gen Z and Gen Alpha are quietly steering Hollywood back toward longer TV seasons, live events, and true family films. The segment touches on Netflix’s rapid-fire celebrity documentaries, the fallout surrounding Diddy, late-night’s shifting landscape with Jimmy Kimmel, major industry deaths, awards-season missteps, and looming power plays like a potential Warner Bros. takeover that could redefine entertainment for the next decade.
Filling in for Dave Weekley, Coop welcomes author and This Week in Space co-host Rod Pyle for a sweeping conversation on why 2025 may be the most pivotal year in modern space history. Pyle reflects on witnessing iconic moments like Apollo 11 and Viking 1, then breaks down how SpaceX’s rapid-fire launches have transformed the industry — even as frustration mounts over Starship delays threatening NASA’s Artemis moon return. The two explore lunar congestion, China’s aggressive moon strategy, private-sector spaceflight, and the growing need to manage cislunar traffic and space debris as humanity prepares for a permanently crowded path back to the Moon.
