## Resource

1973 Podcast – Episode 178 This week, nothing is off-limits. We kick things off with One Watch or Wait as we revisit Larry Clark's controversial 1995 cult classic Kids. Nearly three decades later, does this shocking film still live up to its reputation, or has time changed how it should be viewed? From there, we shift gears to the world of sports, breaking down the latest action from the World Cup before diving into one of hockey's hottest talking points—the Leo Carlsson situation involving the Anaheim Ducks and the Philadelphia Flyers. Could this story have bigger implications than fans realize? Then it's time for wrestling as we discuss the current state of WWE, including the surprising release of Sheamus, skyrocketing ticket prices, and whether the company is pricing out its own fanbase. Finally, we put on the tinfoil hat for another wild conspiracy segment. This week's topic tackles the mysterious "mole" controversy that continues to surface following the Charlie Kirk shooting. Is there more to the story, or is the internet connecting dots that simply aren't there? From controversial movies and international sports to hockey rumors, wrestling drama, and conspiracy theories, Episode 176 delivers another fast-paced, no-filter conversation you won't want to miss. 🎧 Tune in, join the conversation, and let us know where you stand on this week's biggest debates!
