Episode 474 -  Caught in a Matrix

For our eighth episode of the Bklyn Combine Podcast we had an illustrious braintrust of master strategists. We tackled a number of topics that impact us on a daily basis from the concept of ownership to the idea of scarcity and self hatred, and let's not forget our beloved NY Knickerbockers!

We are the Brooklyn Combine, a non-profit community organization. We work with schools, community organizations, and dedicated city officials to help provide mentorship, critical education, leadership, and social support programs to youth and young adults in low-income and underserved communities.

When the mirror cracks, the real battle begins.

"Black Mirror Splits" is a Cyber Trap dive into the chaos between who you are and who you could become.
Steel, dust, fractured glass — these are the scars that shape a new self.

⚙️ Dark beats. Heavy heart. Electric rebirth.

This track is not officially affiliated with the TV show Black Mirror, but it shares the spirit:
the haunting reflections of a world spinning through its own illusions.

➤ Hit play. Face yourself. Rise from the shards.

Tigers still playing winning ball, spring sports updates in the Prep Spotlight, and some shows and book recommendations in Tedertainment Tonight. Take a listen to Ep. 358 and hit us up!

BlcK Mrr - Dark Electronic Cinematic (5)

"Black Mirror" is now in its seventh season, and the British anthology television series is still going strong under the leadership and direction of series creator Charlie Brooker. Paul Giamatti received fantastic reviews for his performance in Episode 5, "Eulogy," and there was a ton of anticipation for the sequel to one of the show's most acclaimed episodes, "USS Callister" with "USS Callister : Into Infinity." Gigmatti, Brooker, Stephan Pehrsson (Cinematographer for "Bête Noire" & "USS Callister : Into Infinity"), and James MacLachlan (VFX Supervisor) were all kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work on the series, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the series, which is now available to stream in full on Netflix. Thank you, and enjoy!

Lyrics:

Yeah, it’s like everywhere I look
Nothing feels real no more, you feel me?
Let’s talk about it

Fake lips, fake hair, 2020s, fake world
Fake smiles, blank stares, everybody chasing pearls
Filters, on your face, try to hide, what’s underneath, can’t even breath

Fake friends, fake trends, everybody pretends
Fake cheers, fake tears, scrolling feeds never end
Compare, repair, we’re all stuck inside the lies (evil laugh)

Fake news, fake views, everybody picking sides
Truth gets buried, while the clout multiplies
Fake goals, fake roles, chasing stars in disguise
Cost of the fame? Breaking the laws

Botox on your life, but the cracks still show
can’t photoshop a soul when the real don’t glow
Fake love, fake hugs all staged for the fame
The real gets denied, and the fake gets prized

Wooo
The real gets denied, and the fake gets prized
Wooo
The real gets denied, and the fake gets prized

Yeehaw

The truth is catching up
The truth is catching up
The truth is catching, catching up

Black Mirror

Black Mirror has consistently been a ground breaking series over the show's decade plus run. It has set a high standard within the sound community as well.  The recent  release of Season 7, keeps that sonic bar extremely high, especially on the Emmy nominated episode "USS Callister: Into Infinity".  Supervising Sound Editor Tom Jenkins, Music Editor Poppy Kavanagh & Re-Recording Mixer James Ridgway tell us about the challenges of working on a science-fiction anthology series where every episode is completely different, the importance of having Poppy work with the music across the entire series 7, and what they learned designing the sound for an epic space battle.

324 - Black Mirror

Lyrics:

[chorus]
This ain't for the black mirror, this ain't for the screen,
This a real-life movie, every single scene.
They just see the highlights, nothin' in between,
Built it on my own, gotta keep my circle clean.

It ain't a matter of whether or not I got it,
It's how deep is the knot that's sittin' in my pocket.
Money so long it got rotten,
Ever seen a little turn to a lot and?

Wood grain wheel that I'm grippin' is a foreign breed,
I might take a job across the foreign seas.
Satisfy my hunger, never satisfy my greed,
Lifestyle, not a status on a black mirror screen.

Used to pray for moments like this, now it's a daily scene,
Lose the focus and it's gone like it was barely seen.
So I move in silence, let the work make the sound…
One deep, that's me—the real's dead, it's only fakes and clowns.

Turn a little to a lot, then it's overseas,
New levels, new devils, a whole new set of keys.
Gotta feed the hunger, put my mind at ease,
Yeah, this the life I lead by my own decrees.

[chorus]
This ain't for the black mirror, this ain't for the screen,
This a real-life movie, every single scene.
They just see the highlights, nothin' in between,
Built it on my own, gotta keep my circle clean.

FOR THE WASHED BY THE WASHED

3 long island friends discussing old and new music and movies with guests!

Zwei TV-Junkies im Kampf gegen die Bilderflut. Gemeinsam kommentieren die zwei Fernsehkinder Seimen und Marc mit viereckigen Augen viele bunte TV-Inhalte. Die Fernbedienungen sind gezückt. Sie sind Watchmen!

3 guys, 3 generations, all from the same mid-Michigan town of Corunna. We all played multiple varsity sports at a high level and are currently working as members of the sports media.

Ted, the Baby Boomer of the bunch, attended Central Michigan University and since the mid 80’s has hosted The Sports Forum radio show and called high school play-by-play of a multitude of sports.

Our Generation-X co-host, Matt Burns, moved on from Corunna where he was a record setting wide receiver and graduated from Grand Valley State University. He now makes his living at ESPN.

Our youngest viewpoints will come from the Millennial of the trio Jerod Fattal. J-Rod starred at quarterback for the Cavaliers graduating in 2017, recently graduated from GVSU, and is working at Bally Sports Detroit.

Along with our unique 3 generation look at sports, pop culture, and current events, we have on a wide variety of guests; from ESPN's Ryan McGee, Ferris St. Head Football coach Tony Annese, media personalities Annie Agar and Wes Blankenship, ESPN Detroit Lions Insider Eric Woodyard, and plenty more!

A podcast coming from the planet of Brooklyn that examines critical thought and community, while searching for solutions to some of our most challenging issues.

Akira X3 forges dystopian sonic messages from a world beyond collapse. Blending cyber-electronic, dark electro punk, big beat, alternative rock fusion, and immersive ambient, his sound is melodic yet raw — mechanical, yet deeply human. Each track is a pulse of sorrow and rage, or a meditative drift through the neon fog — cinematic confessions for those who hear the echoes of tomorrow’s ruins.
