Find our recommendations below: Hit & Run From the creators of the Israeli drama Fauda comes Hit & Run; a twisty new series about a Tel Aviv tour guide, Segev Azulai, whose wife is killed before a visit to America.

Everyone likely conjures a different moment when they hear the name Val Kilmer. Many will remember him drawling “I’m your huckleberry” as Doc Holliday in Tombstone (1993). Others may see a toothy gentleman with a gray combover sneering, “You don’t put any stock in this cold-fusion mumbo jumbo, do you?” in The Saint (1997). For me, it’s him menacingly snapping his jaw—likened to “the sharp-cut bottom half of a stop sign”—at Tom Cruise in Top Gun (1986) with a shit-eating grin after puny Maverick says, laughably, “I am dangerous.” Kilmer has been an unlikely pandemic comeback star. After a viral New York Times Magazine profile last May, timed to coincide with the publication of his best-selling autobiography, this weekend sees the release of Val, a new documentary… Source link

Listen now | Today on the pod, it’s a guest for whom David has been waiting for—Avi Loeb, an astrophysics professor at Harvard University who thinks it might just be possible that aliens have visited earth. Loeb talks about his research into Oumuamua, the first known interstellar object that’s passed through our Solar System, and gives his thoughts on the recently released UFO report from the Office of National Intelligence. Loeb also tells David and Sarah about his scientific philosophy—how science is like a fishing expedition where you throw out a hook and see what happens. Source link

In 1989, Dr. Stanley Pons and Dr. Martin Fleischmann “discovered” cold fusion — the ability to produce essentially free, unlimited energy. Pons and Fleishmann became overnight celebrities. Part of the story’s drama was two, upstart chemists revolutionizing the staid field of physics. It was, according to the New York Times, a story of David and Goliath. Sadly, there was no proof in the pudding. Instead, a misreading of temperature underlay the heralded results. Fast forward three decades to renowned economist Olivier Blanchard’s pronouncement, in his American Economic Association Presidential address, that “public debt may have no cost.” Blanchard was elected president of economics’ 20,000-member club for good reason. After an illustrious career as MIT’s top… Source link

Audi and Porsche were the only manufacturers to join Formula 1’s 2025 engine regulation discussions which are not currently involved in the sport. So why did the two Volkswagen Group brands want to be at the table? Last year Audi announced it will quit Formula E and put its efforts into the Dakar rally, where it enjoys more technical freedom. It is using the powertrain it developed for its final season of Formula E in the design of the RS Q E-tron which will tackle the dunes. Volkswagen Group’s motorsport portfolio has diminished since the company attempted to move past the reputational damage of the dieselgate emissions scandal by refocussing on electric vehicles. This makes Porsche and Audi’s presence at F1’s recent manufacturer meetings all the more intriguing. Red Bull team… Source link
