Kristian Ventura joins Collider Forces to break down Simon's shocking Season 2 finale twist and what's going down in School Spirits Season 3 thus far.As Simon becomes trapped behind the veil of Split River High — with a ticking clock working against him — Ventura dives deep into the character's evolution, his shifting alliances, and why Simon might be a better liar than we ever realized.Kristian Ventura's Simon has always had his hands full on Paramount+'s School Spirits. As the only living character who could see Maddie (Peyton List), he took on a considerable amount of responsibility while trying to solve the mystery of her disappearance. And then, even after discovering what happened to her, he had to meet the challenge of figuring out how to reunite her spirit with her body. By the end of Season 2, he and the others pull it off, but at his expense. In the Season 2 finale, it's revealed that now Simon is trapped behind the vale of Split River High. Complicating matters further, Simon's predicament involves an especially intense ticking clock. Unlike Maddie, he's alive on the other side, and being there is taking a toll on him.With School Spirits Season 3 well underway, Ventura visited the Collider Forces studio for a long-form conversation about the show and his journey to it. He told the shocking story of how he first decided to become an actor, revealed what it was like to be in the middle of a bidding war between talent agencies, and then went into detail on adjusting to Simon's wholly different situation in School Spirits Season 3.

From Nightmare to Fan Fame: Heather Langenkamp's Hollywood Journey In this captivating episode of Reza Rifts, Keith sits down with one of horror cinema's most beloved and enduring icons Heather Langenkamp, the actress who gave the world Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street. Far more than a trip down horror memory lane, this conversation is a genuine, wide-ranging exploration of what it means to build a life in Hollywood from the grueling audition grind to the unexpected emotional weight of fame. Heather opens up about being cast by Wes Craven while still a student at Stanford University, what it was like to work alongside legends like Robert Englund, and how the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise became something far bigger and more meaningful than anyone could have predicted in 1984. The conversation digs deep into the evolution of horror fandom how audiences have transformed from passive moviegoers into passionate, lifelong communities and why Freddy Krueger resonates so deeply as a metaphor for the personal demons we all carry. Heather also reflects on her I Am Nancy documentary, navigating career challenges as a woman in Hollywood, the surprising world of practical special effects through her company AFX Studio, and what she wishes she could tell her younger self. Warm, funny, and full of genuine wisdom, this is the kind of conversation that reminds you why you fell in love with movies in the first place. Guest Bio Heather Langenkamp (born July 17, 1964, Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American actress, filmmaker, businesswoman, and radio personality whose career has spanned more than four decades. A Stanford University student when she first auditioned for Wes Craven, Heather beat out over 200 actresses to land the role of Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) a performance that would make her one of the most recognizable faces in horror history. Notable Works: A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) — Nancy Thompson A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) — Nancy Thompson Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) — Herself Just the Ten of Us (1988–1990) — TV Sitcom American Horror Story: Freak Show (2014) The Midnight Club (2022) — Mike Flanagan's Netflix series I Am Nancy (2011) — Executive Producer & Star The Life of Chuck (2025) Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy (2010) Co-Founder, AFX Studio (practical special effects) Follow Heather:
Sterling K. Brown's role as Randall in the beloved series This is Us practically made him a household name. But the actor went to Stanford to study economics with the intention of working in finance. As you'll hear in Tom Power's conversation with Sterling, the pull of acting was too strong and he eventually transitioned to doing it full time. They discuss how he went from finance to acting, his mother's impact on him and his role as a secret service agent on the series Paradise.
As the daughter of the renowned intellectual Edward Said, Najla Said discusses the unique pressures of navigating her family's legacy while forging her own creative voice in the shadow of his immense influence. The conversation explores her journey from attempting to assimilate into American culture as a youth to confronting her heritage during a pivotal trip to Palestine and Lebanon. Said details her entry into professional theater and the development of her acclaimed one-woman show, Palestine, which grew from an intimate journal entry. She also offers a personal perspective on her father's moral backbone, the impact of recent global events on her sense of safety in New York, and the evolution of her activism through new collaborative theater projects. The discussion touches on the enduring intimacy of her memoir, Looking for Palestine, and how sharing her inner monologue has helped her find a community based on genuine solidarity. 0:00 Introduction 1:37 Childhood Stories and Typewritten Plays 2:54 Growing Up in the Shadow of Intellectual Giants 7:23 The Weight of Family Legacy 10:00 Journaling and the Discovery of a Personal Voice 12:47 Acting, Identity, and Hollywood Reality Checks 20:36 Defining "Arab" through Theater 22:10 Navigating Identity Shifts: Lebanon, Palestine, and New York 33:32 Misunderstandings and the Moral Backbone of Edward Said 36:58 Current Work: Dialogue in a Time of Hostility 44:30 Erasing Legacy: Columbia University and Global Activism 47:40 Politics and Perception 52:14 Looking for Palestine: The Vulnerability of Memoir 56:56 Shedding the Need to Be Liked 58:07 Solidarity as the Greatest Expression of Love Najla Said is a Palestinian-Lebanese-American actress, playwright, author, and activist, recognized for her memoir Looking for Palestine: Growing Up Confused in an Arab-American Family (2013), which chronicles her struggles with cultural identity amid a privileged New York City upbringing as the daughter of prominent Palestinian intellectual Edward W. Said and his Lebanese-born wife Mariam Cortas Said. Said initially distanced herself from her Arab heritage, assimilating into American and Jewish social circles while attending elite institutions like Dalton School and Princeton University, before a transformative trip to the Middle East prompted her to embrace Palestinian roots more fully. Said's career spans theater and performance, including her solo show Palestine, which she has presented at over 25 high schools, colleges, and universities worldwide since its off-Broadway debut, addressing themes of diaspora, stereotyping, and Arab-American experiences. She has worked with New York institutions such as New York Theatre Workshop, The Public Theater, and Second Stage, and maintains affiliations like a "Usual Suspect" at NYTW. As an activist, Said advocates for Palestinian self-determination, drawing on her father's legacy of critiquing Western orientalism, though her public engagements, including support for campus protests, reflect a personal evolution from identity confusion to vocal solidarity with causes tied to her heritage.

Hello to you listening all over these still United States! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. I'm a long-time fan of the TV series, The Big Bang Theory. No matter how many times I've re-watched an episode I always learn something. Like the time Raj and Howard helped Amy with a dating app for her phone. Howard commented that one day there would be something to choose a date for her. AI was hovering in the wings. Two of the characters are physicists. In physics every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When it doesn't work because the laws of nature are broken by corrupt, power-mad, ego-maniacal psychopaths you end up where we are. In unprecedented threatening chaos. This aberration of power must have an equal force to not only keep it in check but to keep it confined. We the People are the Force acting to knock this wannabe king and all the king's men (and women) off the throne once and for all. Story Prompt: Remember a time when you felt that a situation was unjust, you were forced to act, and your actions made a difference for the good. Write that story and tell it out loud! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Sponsored by Pepperstone Something happened to me the other day that I wasn't expecting. A woman trapped in a window, fourth floor, covered in blood, screaming for help. I went in. And as I was debriefing afterwards... I realised every skill that kicked in came from trading. Signal vs noise. Risk management. Clarity under pressure. Acting on incomplete information. Being firm first, then calm. This episode is that story, start to finish. Then I walk back through it and pull out the trading parallels. It's a different one. But if you trade, you'll get it.

Sometimes the most meaningful innovations begin with frustration. In this conversation, Natalie Poindexter shares how questioning broken systems, both in nonprofit funding and in technology, led her to build new solutions designed with empathy, accessibility, and human support at their core.

Jonathan Allsop was born and raised in Reading, PA. He is a proud first gen American with his mom/family immigrating from the islands of Trinidad & Tobago. After graduating from UPenn in Philly he moved to Chicago to do business, and act on the side, which eventually took over so much that he went to get his MFA in Acting at NIU. He has worked at various theaters such as: The Second City, Writers Theatre, Court Theatre, A Red Orchid Theatre, Definition Theatre, Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival, and more. He has done a lot of commercial and film work (a proud member of SAG-AFTRA), and has done improv throughout the city with Anarchy, Phony Award, and Blank. He loves the community and art that exists in Chicago and is so excited to continue to grow and do more.

Hey there, hero!I was at a party a couple of years ago, and someone in our group was asked, “What do you do?”In Los Angeles, it's rare that the answer to that question isn't “I'm an actor.”In this case, the woman answered with a bit of a twist:“I'm a bit of an actor."Please don't let me catch you saying this. That would be an issue.And I've heard versions of that: "I dabble in audiobooks." "Occasionally, I write some stuff."In this episode, I want to impress upon you that words do matter. You have every right to be proud. Try not to minimize yourself - be clear and precise. And own your life's work and career choice.How do you describe what you do?

“God bless Israel… God bless Israel…” — but what's really going on?In this episode of Neph 2 America, Raven and TopLobsta break down the media narrative surrounding Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel, and escalating tensions with Iran, while questioning how U.S. foreign policy messaging is being shaped in real time.The conversation opens with the now-running bit of repeating “God bless Israel”, highlighting how often political rhetoric is echoed without context.

I'm peeling back the curtain on the personal business mindset principles that keep me from spiralling into a stress-fueled mess. Let's be real—most of you are out here looking for a prescriptive "right way" to do business, but business isn't a formula. It's an art. If you're tired of feeling dysregulated and overwhelmed by the noise, it's time to stop looking for a template and start becoming an expert on yourself. Listen in as I share how I act as my own "bodyguard" to protect my creative essence and relaxation. I'm breaking down why "context switching" is the silent killer of your productivity and how you can make more money by doing way less. We're ditching the idea that business has to be serious or hard, and instead, we're pimping out the journey to be the most epic, comfy, and interesting experience possible. Here's a glance at what you'll learn from me in this episode: The Expertise of You: Why the most valuable time you spend in business is becoming an expert on your own sabotages, joys, and preferences. The Future-Self Hack: How to project yourself into your "future badass" state to realize that today's problems are just child's play. The Context Switching Trap: Why working eight hours can actually be less effective than two hours of true, deep focus. The "Me-Sized" Business: How to stop following templates that don't suit you and start innovating based on how you want your life to feel. Emotional Stability 101: Why your business is not responsible for your happiness and how to stay "chilling" even when the numbers are wild. Allocating Fucks Wisely: How to protect your energy from the "atrocious" news of the world so you actually have the power to create change in your own community. Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 00:34 Why these mindset principles are specifically for the easily stressed 01:54 The "One Question" beneath every business inquiry 04:49 Rule #1: Why today's stress is just "child's play" to your future self 06:50 "I don't stress about things for free": Acting as your own bodyguard 08:06 Rule #2: The natural power of working on one thing at a time 11:35 Organizing your life into creative, managerial, and deep work modes 13:54 Rule #3: Rejecting the idea that business must be "serious or hard" 15:52 The secret of innovators: Every "necessary" method was just an experiment 17:34 Rule #4: Why your business isn't responsible for your emotional stability Links Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelbell/ Work of Art Website: https://workofartpodcast.com/
Feeling a little desperate in your real estate business lately? You are not alone—and this episode is your mindset reset. Katy and Alissa are diving into the behaviors that show up when agents feel pressure to make money… and how those "desperate" decisions can quietly damage your reputation, confidence, and long-term success. From overpricing listings just to win them, to chasing every shiny lead source, to dropping your professional standards, this episode is your honest (and loving) wake-up call. The truth? Acting like a desperate real estate agent doesn't attract more business; it repels it. Instead, we're sharing what to do differently so you can protect your business, maintain your professionalism, and build a career you're actually proud of, even in a slow market. Here's what we cover in this episode: What "desperate agent behavior" really looks like (and why it's so common right now) How overpricing a listing can hurt your reputation long-term Why saying "yes" to everything is actually hurting your business The danger of chasing shiny lead sources when you feel slow How dropping your standards can cost you future referrals Real examples of setting boundaries with sellers (and earning respect because of it) Why consistency beats constant rebranding or "next big thing" energy The difference between being flexible vs. losing your boundaries What to do instead when business feels slow or uncertain If you've been feeling the pressure, questioning your business, or tempted to make decisions out of fear—this is the episode you need. You don't need to be desperate. You need to be consistent, professional, and confident. Key Quotes & Takeaways "When you act like a desperate real estate agent, you're not gaining business; you're losing respect." Alissa "Confidence audits your business. Desperation just reacts." Katy "If you let your clients run your business, you're doing them a disservice." Alissa "You don't need balloons to sell a house; you need people walking through the door." Alissa "Referral-based business is a slow burn… but chasing shiny objects will burn you out."

Frances Fisher joins Steve Kmetko for a candid, funny, and deeply thoughtful conversation about acting, ambition, heartbreak, Titanic, Clint Eastwood, Lucille Ball, and what it really means to build a life in Hollywood. Frances talks about growing up around the world, finding acting through community theater in Texas, bartending in New York while chasing work, and the unusual creative choice that transformed her performance in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. She also shares a remarkable story about the phone call that may have led to Titanic, what made James Cameron such an effective director, and why Rose's mother was one of the easiest characters she ever played.
