Threshold is a Peabody Award-winning documentary podcast about our place in the natural world. Each season, we take listeners on a journey into the heart of a complex environmental story, asking how we got here and where we might be headed. In our latest season, Hark, we hand the mic over to our planet-mates and investigate what it means to truly listen to nonhuman voices—and the cost if we don't. With mounting social and ecological crises, what happens when we tune into the life all around us? Threshold is nonprofit, listener-supported, and independently produced.

Your Tweakers get serious as they expose the horrors in this 1985 experiment in Hughenics upon the Oreo Brat Pack.

Wolverines! Your Tweakers are still on holiday when they phone this one in. Try to stay awake–unlike the Tweakers–as they discuss immigration allegories, inflation (how does it work?!), off-brand Brat Packs, what real cities look like, white natives, sincere caring about death, logical consistency when supporting guerillas/insurgents, and tactics of tank battles (based on other movies). 1.

Season’s Greetings! There’s nobody home but us Tweakers for our annual holiday episode. We gather around the fire and roast some old chestnuts: working dumb jobs to maintain balance in life, domesticity in the 1980’s, what constitutes winter fashion in Los Angeles, the fastest way to draw a side arm, the legal age for dating a father’s partner, and what’s the deal with black Stormtroopers? And seriously, do women wear négligées or not? Lethal Weapon was filmed in Los Angeles, not that it matters, and stars Danny Glover (Predator 2) Mel Gibson (Ransom). Recommended snack accompaniment: frozen tarts.

If you are not set up by the time we are ready to start, simply pause the Tweak and get it together. Disclaimer: Nothing said in this Film Tweaker is known to be true.
