Raunchy sex comedies had a moment at the end of the 20th century. And perhaps the king of them all, was American Pie. Even people who have never seen the movie probably know the most memorable scene has something to do with a sex-obsessed teenage boy doing something unseemly with a homemade apple pie.
Flash forward a quarter century and Hollywood is making fewer teen comedies than it used to. For the 25th anniversary of American Pie, Scott Detrow speaks with one of the film's stars Alyson Hannigan about its legacy.
A warning for listeners, this episode contains language and references to scenes not suitable for younger audiences.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: If the SEC Sues OpenSea, Here’s Why the NFT Platform Could Win Easily
NFT marketplace OpenSea received a Wells notice from the SEC. Crypto lawyer Preston Byrne explains whether Gensler’s agency has a chance to win a potential case.
The SEC’s latest enforcement action is targeting NFTs, and OpenSea is in the crosshairs. In this episode, crypto lawyer Preston Byrne joins to unpack the implications of the SEC's Wells notice to OpenSea and what it might mean for the platform and the broader NFT market. Could Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provide a unique defense for OpenSea? Preston also dives into other recent SEC moves, including cases against Stoner Cats, Impact Theory, and more.
Lastly, with the 2024 elections looming and political divides sharpening, is the SEC overreaching in its approach to crypto?
Show highlights:
- Why Preston believes that the SEC will go after OpenSea for being an unregistered securities exchange
- What the Stoner Cats case was about and why it was not a strong enforcement action, according to Preston
- Why OpenSea's defense against the SEC may hinge on Section 230 protections for user-generated content, setting it apart from traditional exchanges like Coinbase or Binance
- How the clear-cut promises made by Impact Theory about potential returns made their NFTs resemble securities, unlike the typical art-focused NFTs on OpenSea
- Why Nate Chastain’s NFT insider trading case is unlikely to impact the SEC’s potential lawsuit against OpenSea
- Whether the $4 million settlement by Dapper Labs over NBA Top Shot NFTs likely represents little relevance to OpenSea's SEC issues
- What a Wells notice signals about the SEC's likelihood of suing OpenSea and why they might feel confident about winning this case
- How Jonathan Mann and Brian Frye's lawsuit for clarity on NFTs as securities highlights the SEC's potentially overreaching stance in its possible case against OpenSea
- How Trump's careful language around his NFT collection likely minimizes SEC risk by avoiding investment promises and focusing on their use as digital collectibles
- Whether the SEC's actions could reinforce the divide among crypto voters, with Trump promising a crypto-friendly stance and Harris likely continuing a more adversarial approach

CoinDesk Podcast Network - THE MINING POD: Rhodium Files for Bankruptcy, Mining Farm Acquisition Season, Public Miner AI Updates, and Bitcoin’s Maddening Energy Debate
In this week’s news roundup, Will, Colin, and Matt cover the news regarding Rhodium’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and they also touch on the spree of post-halving mergers and acquisitions in bitcoin mining. Plus, what’s the deal with public bitcoin miner AI/HPC strategies? Finally, they close on the ever-persistent (and always maddening) debate over bitcoin mining’s energy use.
Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Blockspace broke news this weekend that Texas-based bitcoin miner Rhodium is going bankrupt, and we follow up in today’s show about what we do and don’t know regarding the incipient restructuring. As Rhodium starts restructuring its debt, other bitcoin miners have been expanding, with mergers and acquisitions becoming the second hottest trend this summer in the mining sector. The hottest trend, though, is AI, and we’ve got the straight skinny on how public bitcoin miners are approaching the hyped-up sector. And in this week’s Cry Corner, the gang addresses yet more quibbling about Bitcoin’s energy use (when Solomon said that there’s nothing new under the sun, he was really talking about energy FUD…).
