The crew of geeks gets together to briefly sum up four key Philip K. Dick loosely adapted cyberpunk movies.   We also talk about how much of them stand out on their own versus feeling like MATRIX/BLADE RUNNER/TOTAL RECALL/INCEPTION styled knock-offs.    WORKS DISCUSSED INCLUDE: * Screamers (1995) * Imposter (2001) * Next (2007) * The Adjustment Bureau (2011)       SONG USED: "Blade Runner Love Theme Cover" by LUX- Ambient Music                   MAIN LINKS:  LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/JackedUpReviewShow/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2452329545040913 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackedUpReview  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacked_up_podcast/        SHOW LINKS: YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCIyMawFPgvOpOUhKcQo4eQQ   iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-jacked-up-review-show-59422651/   Podbean: https://jackedupreviewshow.podbean.com   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Eg8w0DNympD6SQXSj1X3M   Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast/id1494236218   RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/the-jacked-up-review-show-We4VjE   Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1494236218/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast   Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9hNDYyOTdjL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz   Anchor:  https://anchor.fm/s/a46297c/podcast/rss   PocketCasts: https://pca.st/0ncd5qp4   CastBox:  https://castbox.fm/channel/The-Jacked-Up-Review-Show-Podcast-id2591222   Discord:  https://discord.com/channels/796154005914779678/796154006358851586         #MovieReview #FilmTwitter #PodFamily #PodcastersOfInstagram #Movies #Film #Cinema #Music #Reviews #Retrospect #Podcasts #MutantFam #MutantFamily #actionmystery #bmovies #scifihorror #truecrime #historydramas #warmovies #podcastcollabs #hottakes #edgy #cultmovies #nsfw #HorrorFam #badass     

Writing/ classroom ambience. How do I say, "Enjoy 8 hours of testing ambience?" The thought of testing conjures up traumas of past educational failures. And I'm not talking about having the test slapped on the desktop before me with "F" scratched out in red marker. I'm talking "permanent record" here. My invisible collection of abject failures that I was led to believe followed me everywhere. I imagined a shadow network that handed off my permanent record wherever I went. There would be a back room with a filing cabinet waiting to temporarily house it. Where it waited for me to screw up. I still feel its presence today. There may be some backroom in my house my family hasn't warned me of. Perhaps the neighbors are some kind of "Adjustment Bureau" for my CATs, SATs, and ACTs. So, yeah, no — this ambience isn't about a make or break test. Let's imagine we're in class, and everyone else is studious because they're so smug about going somewhere in this world. And we are at the back of the class drawing Too Much Coffee Man or writing an amazing short story while everyone is being ambitious.  And for me, it wasn't an amazing short story. It was a **** short story that was only short because I couldn't figure out how to get my awesome Mack Bolan-esque character out from the clutches of the cartel's trap deep in a jungle. (Which was totally stolen from Clear and Present Danger). "There's nowhere left to run, Blaze Tower," said the short man grasping a half-smoldered cigar. This was Blaze Tower's nemesis, a man everyone called Martillo (to be played by Miguel Sandoval in the inevitable movie). Martillo had been responsible for the death of Blaze's family; they had been bystanders in a park. A picnic turned to panic by errant crossfire and totally ripped off from Frank Castle's origin. (RIP my media diet in the 90s… I heard my parents regularly remark, "At least he's reading something.”) Bluh—where were we? Oh yes... relaxing at the back of the class. Original photo by Pixabay

"All I have are the podcasts I make...come what may" - Dave takes 2011's Adjustment Bureau off the shelf this week and is a little less than impressed with the rewatch. Phil find similarities to many other movies and feels as though it is lesser in almost every way. There is no denying the chemistry the leads have a certainly a great cast but ultimately doesn't get to the heights is could have.

Oh. My. God. A Sci-Fi movie where no one had to have sex with an alien? We are totally down for this recap starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt that centers around, wait for it, FATE. We think. Like if we had to name it, we'd name it Fate. This movie is the perfect example of 'if he wanted to, he would.' Because Matt Damon wanted to, and he did. More than once. And that chemistry? Give it an EGOT.

In this week's episode, I review the movies and streaming shows I saw in the second half of summer 2024. The episode concludes with a preview of the audiobook of HALF-ORC PALADIN, as excellently narrated by Leanne Woodward. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 218 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is September the 13th, 2024 and today we are discussing my Summer Movie Review Roundup, Part 2. Just to note to say that you may hear some odd background noises in this episode. My neighbor across the street is getting his roof replaced. I can't begrudge them that because no one likes a leaky roof, but it is slightly inconvenient because this is the only time today I have to record the podcast. So if you hear the occasional pop in the background, that is the sound of a nail gun driving shingles into a roof. Before we get to our main topics, let's have an update on my current writing projects and then we will do Question of the Week. First up, Shield of Conquest is very nearly done. I am about 2/3 of the way through the final round of editing and if all goes well, it should come out shortly after this episode is available, so be sure to check your favorite ebook retailer and see if it is out. Once that is done, I will be going full speed ahead on Ghost in the Tombs and I'm currently 48,000 words into that, so about halfway through the rough draft, give or take, depends on how long the rest of the book takes and how certain scenes in the final half of the book out. In audiobook news, Half-Orc Paladin is done, and it's now available on all the major audio stores: Audible, Amazon, Apple, Google Play, Chirp, Kobo, Payhip, Spotify, and a couple others, and you can get it there. We will close out this episode with a preview of Half-Orc Paladin (as excellently narrated by Leanne Woodward). 00:01:30 Question of the Week Now let's have a Question of the Week. Question of the Week is designed to inspire interesting discussions of enjoyable topics. This week's question: what is your favorite superhero movie? No wrong answers, of course (including “I don't like superhero movies”, but it turns out no one said that, so I guess superhero movies are quite popular). The inspiration for this question was that I was thinking about how superhero movies are such a major part of pop culture. Nowadays when people think of superhero movies, they usually think of Marvel and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but there were major superhero movies before the whole Marvel Cinematic approach really got going in the 2000s/2010s and they've been obviously part of pop culture for a very long time, and as you could expect, we had a wide range of responses from this. Our first response was from JD, who says: If I had to pick just one, it would probably be Guardians of the Galaxy. The first film had a near perfect mix of action, drama, and comedy. For me, the best Batman film was the 1966 one starring Adam West. Joaquim says: In the last millennium, when I was a child, we had DC Comics and Marvel Comics. I did like Batman in DC, Spider-man and The Avengers in Marvel. In the movies, I did not particularly like Batman, but I like the early Marvel movies, Avengers 1 and Captain America 2 the most. Mary says: X-Men. Todd says: 1978 Superman. Visually at 15, I believed a man could fly. Juana says: My superhero is actually a couple - The Vision and Scarlet Witch (before they turned Vision into an emotionless thing a while back). What's interesting is that the guy who was in charge of Picard Season 3, which I quite liked, is apparently going to be running a Vision show for Marvel sometime in 2026 (assuming Disney doesn't run out of money first), so it should be interesting to see how it turns out. Stephen says: I know this is random- Shang Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings. I know it was not completely an original storyline, but I liked it a lot. I agree with Stephen. I thought Shang Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings was one of the stronger Marvel movies and it's too bad it hasn't had a sequel. Becca says: The Dark Knight trilogy. Those are the real Batman films for me. Ledger was certainly the best Joker. I do love the happier Batmans, too. I grew up on West's version of Batman. For me, V for Vendetta is my favorite superhero movie and one of my favorite movies ever. I usually watch it at least once a year. Michael says: Captain America: The First Avenger. Juliana says: Second Captain America. The spy aspect really married well with the superhero genre in this one. I agree with Juliana. I think Captain America: Winter Soldier is one of the better Marvel movies. Roger says: only because we're entering the season, The Christmas Chronicles with Kurt Russell. Andrew says: Deadpool and Wolverine, followed by The Dark Knight trilogy. James says: I know Fox's X-Men get a bad rap generally, but Days of Future Past was amazing. I'd have to go with that, with The Dark Knight, Thor: Ragnarok, and Wonder Woman as runner-ups. Cheryl says: don't really have favorites, but for eye candy, Thor. Catriona says: The original Christopher Reeve Superman. Jenny says: Mystery Men. Jeanne says: Megamind. Randy says: Christian Bale and Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight movies are definitely in the top three but Iron Man has always been my favorite. Good story, good pacing, and Robert Downey Junior just nailed playing Tony Stark, in my opinion. Not to mention it kicked off the longest, largest, story movie arc to this day. BV says: Superman 1978. Terry says: Fifth Element. Gary says: Hancock. For myself, I think my favorite superhero movies would be the Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale Dark Knight trilogy. Strong performances, great action, and they managed to do something very difficult, namely bring a satisfying end to a superhero story arc. It almost feels like The Dark Knight movies are the “real” events of Batman and all the other comics and cartoons and movies are legends and exaggerations after the fact, like how the whole glittering mythos of King Arthur and the Round Table developed around an obscure Roman British warlord in the 500s AD. Also, Heath Ledger's version of the Joker was amazing. That said, for Marvel movies, which have been kind of the dominant form of superhero movies for the last decade, I think the best one of those would be Captain America: Winter Soldier (in my opinion). 00:05:45 Main Topic: Summer 2024 Movie/TV Roundup, Part 2 And now on to our main topic of this episode, my Summer 2024 Movie Roundup, Part 2. And if this movie roundup has a theme, it's miscellaneous. The reason for that is I did not actually watch all that many movies in the second half of the summer. There was no nefarious reason for that. I was just busy with travel and busy with multiple instances of home repair and busy finishing Half-Orc Paladin and Shield of Conquest. So I mostly watched some older stuff that I found on streaming, especially on Tubi, which has the delightful attribute of being free with ads. As usual, the movies are listed from my least favorite to my most favorite and the grades are totally subjective and based upon my own thoughts and opinions and nothing more substantial than that. So with that in mind, let's start out. First up is The Burbs, which came out in 1989. It's a dark comedy/horror movie satire starring Tom Hanks as Ray, a suburban homeowner with a wife and a son. On vacation for the week, Ray becomes obsessed with the Klopeks, a new family that has moved on to his street. The Klopeks have no interest in maintaining their property and show signs of other odd activities: going out only at night, constant digging in the backyard, and strange noises and lights coming from their basement. Soon, Ray and his two neighbors become determined to find out just what the Klopeks are up to. It was darkly funny, though you could tell that the ending had been rewritten a few times. The movie couldn't decide if it wanted to be a satire of clannish homeowners or to totally validate their concerns, or both. I think it tried for both and couldn't quite get there. Though it does kind of show how much the United States has changed or possibly declined in the last 35 years. Ray and his friends are shown as kind of losers, but they live in enormous, well-maintained houses. It's like how Homer Simpson in the first couple seasons of The Simpsons was shown as a bumbling loser, but yet he could afford to live in a four bedroom house, his wife didn't work most of the time, they had two cars and three children, and all without Homer having a college degree. By the standards of 2024, Homer Simpson lived like a king. Amusing anecdote-one scene in The Burbs was clearly inspired by A Fistful of Dollars, which I talk about more below. Overall grade: C Next up is The Batman vs. Dracula, an animated movie which came out in 2005. In this movie, Batman goes up against Count Dracula. This was probably as dark and gory as something can be while still technically remaining targeted at children. When a robbery goes bad, the Penguin accidentally releases Count Dracula from his tomb and becomes the Vampire Lord's new chief servant. Dracula is fascinated by the modern world, but he's especially fascinated by Batman since for obvious reasons he admires Batman's bat-themed motif. Dracula offers Batman the chance to become his chief lieutenant, which Batman refuses and Dracula takes that personally. He'll get his revenge by turning Gotham City into a city of the undead and taking Bruce Wayne's girlfriend, Vicki Vale, as his new vampire bride. Unless, of course, Batman stops him. It was interesting how neatly Dracula slots into becoming a good enemy for Batman. After all, in the original Dracula novel, Dracula's nemesis Van Helsing was definitely a man of science who brought logic, reason, and scientific method to his fight against Dracula. Batman is also a man of science in the sense that he's a detective, so he does some detective work to unravel Dracula's weaknesses and to build weapons to use against him. Overall Grade: B Next up is Set It Up, which came out in 2018. This is a romantic comedy that reminded me a bit of the more cynical 1940s-era romcoms like The Shop Around the Corner. The female lead Harper works as a personal assistant for a workaholic female sports writer who terrorizes her employees. The male lead Charlie works for workaholic male venture capitalist who also terrorizes his employees. Both their bosses are miserable, demanding people who make everyone around them unhappy. One day, both Charlie and Harper are dispatched to get dinner for their bosses and end up fighting over the last available delivery man. However, in the wake of the encounter, Harper hatches a plan. Both she and Charlie know everything about their respective bosses, so why not manipulate their calendars and schedules so they fall in love? They might be more cheerful, or at the very least they'll be in the office less frequently. Charlie has his misgivings about this plan, but after one more unfortunate encounter with his boss, decides to embark upon Harper's plan. Of course, Charlie has a high maintenance girlfriend who wants him to make a lot more money, and Harper is trying to find a boyfriend, but as per the rules of romcoms, perhaps Charlie and Harper will have more in common than they might think. This had a bit more crude humor than I might prefer but was still enjoyable. It did remind me quite a bit of the more cynical ‘30s and ‘40s movies like My Man Godfrey or the Shop around the Corner. Overall Grade: B Next up is The Bank of Dave, which came out in 2023. This is basically the cynical British version of a Hallmark movie, but with better production values. It is very, very loosely based on the activities of Dave Fishwick, a successful van dealer in the north of England who decides to start a local bank for local people, feeling that the Big London banks have lost sight of that. To do that, he recruits a London lawyer named Hugh to help him navigate a labyrinth of regulation around financial institutions. Of course the big banks dislike this idea and come after Dave hard. Dave is definitely the local Big Man, and it's interesting that humanity's default mode of government seems to be Local Big Man. However, if one must have a Big Man, one could only hope he is as benevolent as Dave. The movie was pretty funny, though a lot of the humor comes from the UK's class and regional divides, which are rather more pronounced than in the United States. Here in the United States, you can drive for 300 miles and be in the same state the entire time, and the local culture won't change all that much. The cliche is that the US East Coast and the US West Coast look down upon flyover country, but you can drive something like 1,000 miles from New York before you even get to Flyover Country. If you drive 300 miles in the UK, you've probably gone through six or seven regional accents and local traditions. The Bank of Dave does kind of turn into a Hallmark movie since Hugh falls for David's doctor niece. So basically a romance with the backdrop of British class/regional struggle as comedy. Overall grade: B Next up is Cool Runnings, which came out in 1993. A sports comedy film very (and I mean very loosely) based on the debut of the Jamaican Olympic bobsled team in the 1988 Winter Olympics. When sprinter Derice Bannock is unable to qualify for the Jamaican Olympic team due to an accident, he decides to instead to start a bobsled team to represent Jamaica in the Games. To do this, he recruits washed up former bobsledder Blitzer (played by John Candy) to act as the team's coach. What follows is a pretty good example of a sports movie. The team must come together and perform while overcoming their own personal challenges and inner conflicts, especially Coach Blitzer, who has to dig deep and overcome his past to effectively coach the team. It's interesting that sports movies tend to follow one of two trajectories. Either the team rallies and wins the championship, or they don't win the championship and nonetheless achieve moral victory by overcoming their internal difficulties in learning to work together. I won't spoil which path Cool Runnings follows. Overall Grade: B Next up is Uncle Buck, which came out in 1989. This is a coming-of-age comedy film about a 40 year old man, oddly enough. I did think this was pretty funny. Bob and Cindy are a married couple with three children living in the suburbs of Chicago, and when Cindy's father has a heart attack, they need to rush to his side. Due to the unexpected nature of the news, they have to find someone to watch the kids while they're gone. In desperation, they turned to Bob's brother Buck, who alternates between working for his girlfriend at her tire company and making money on rigged horse races. While Buck is kind of a loser, he's basically a decent guy, just averse to responsibility and settling down. He quickly steps up to take care of the children, though he conflicts with the oldest daughter Tia, who is in the grips of a full-blown adolescent rebellion. Buck soon realizes that he's come to a crossroads in his life, which is reinforced when Tia runs away to a party for the weekend. Slightly dark in places, but definitely more family friendly than many ‘80s comedies. Overall Grade: B+ Next up is the Adjustment Bureau, which came out in 2011. It is a science fiction romantic thriller based on the Philip K. Dick story, which is a very odd sentence to say, but it's true. Matt Damon plays David Norris, a congressman from New York who just lost the Senate race. Preparing for his concession speech. He meets Elise (played by Emily Blunt) and is immediately smitten with her. A month later, he runs into her by accident on a bus and receives her phone number. However, soon mysterious suited men with unusual powers arrive and burn the paper with the phone number. The men explain to David that they are The Adjustment Bureau, charged with making sure history unfolds according to the mysterious Plan. The Plan says that David can never see Elise again. David of course is not the sort of guy to take that lying down, so he soon finds himself trying to outwit the Time Cops and find Elise. It was interesting that The Adjustment Bureau was very similar to the Time Variance Authority from the Marvel Loki show, so I wonder if they drew on some of the same sources of inspiration. An interesting movie and worth watching. It actually wrestled with the oldest philosophical question in Western civilization: are all things predestined or do we have free will? Or is it somehow both? I have to admit that the scene where Elise dunked David's BlackBerry in coffee was very satisfying to me personally, since I had a lot of support headaches with Blackberries back in the 2000s. Overall Grade: B+ Now, finally the favorite thing I saw in the second half of the summer 2024: A Fistful of Dollars, which came out in 1964. This was the first Spaghetti Western I've seen, which means it's Italian director Sergio Leone's sort of stylized version of what the Old West was like. Of course, the movie actually ripped off the Akira Kurosawa samurai movie Yojimbo. In fact, it was so heavily ripped off Yojimbo that Kurosawa sued, settled out of court, and received 15% of A Fistful of Dollars' revenue. Apparently Kurosawa made more from the settlement than he did from Yojimbo. Legal troubles aside, it was quite good and I could see how it heavily influenced many subsequent movies. For example, the Star Wars character of Boba Fett was inspired by A Fistful of Dollars and Boba Fett in turn inspired the Mandalorian. Stephen King's rather disappointing Dark Tower series was inspired by Dollars as well. And there are many other examples, such as the scene in The Burbs I had mentioned above earlier. Anyway, Clint Eastwood plays The Stranger, a mercenary gunslinger who seems to be drifting from town to town without a purpose. He arrives at San Miguel, a US-Mexican border town that is dominated by two crime families at each other's throats, the Rojos and the Baxters. Both clans seek to hire The Stranger for their organizations and the gunslinger begins playing them off each other for personal profit. As mercenary and as ruthless as he is, The Stranger seems to have a core of honor to him. A couple of times he goes out of his way to help people because he can, which sometimes gets him into trouble. Definitely worth watching as a classic film. Overall Grade: A So that's it for this week. Thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful.

They also discuss NFL Draft takeaways and why the Michael Penix. Jr. pick by Atlanta make more sense in the future. For their music reviews, they analyzed Kendrick Lamar's "Euphoria" diss track, PARTYNEXTDOOR's P4, Sinead Harnett's Boundaries album and Lucky Daye's "Hericane". Next up, they did an instant reaction to Drake's "Family Matters" and Kendrick Lamar's "Meet the Grahams" diss tracks plus compared the two. In the second half, they review The Adjustment Bureau, the 2011 science fiction romantic thriller film directed and co-produced by George Nolfi; starring Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, and Anthony Mackie. They start off by discussing the unique script this film had, Matt Damon and Emily Blunt's chemistry along with why Anthony Mackie should have been used a little more at certain parts. 

Greetings, Pharaohradio family! All praise be to Yahuah Elohiym! In this wonderful episode today, Jayratedr talks on blunt and blatant levels of a control system that has been in power for a long time, under the guidance and guise of the rebellious one known as HaSatan, a.k.a., whom many deem as, Sama'EL...the venomous/poison one of God. The General Reptilian, Old Serpent-Dragon, Draconian (Revelation 12:9) who has his Reptilian seed and Hybrid-Royal family bloodlines running the world's systems (2Corinthians 4:4 & Daniel 2:41-43, Genesis 3:15; 49:17)! Stay tuned in as Jay goes deeper into the control system and talks about who these interdimensional and planetary, Fallen Angels/gods are. And why they are here and what they want to do to humans for the dominance of this Matrix reality and Earth

How much you would run for a dumb hat? That's what 2011's The Adjustment Bureau dares to ask. Our third entry into the Dream Blunt Rotation, Emily is sporting full 2010s fashion in this one but she never gets to wears that trilby. We also welcome back Spirit himself, Matt Damon. Now we can see him in the flesh instead of his expertly animated horse design and we are disappointed. FIGHT FOR YOUR FATE. A man glimpses the future Fate has planned for him – and chooses to fight for his own destiny. Battling the powerful Adjustment Bureau across, under and through the streets of New York, he risks his destined greatness to be with the only woman he's ever loved. (Sourced from Letterboxd) Will David choose between love and his career? Where did John Slattery go? And when will Emily get to a real character again? Also, a final chat of the 2023 Oscar predictions as it drops today!

What happens when you combine Inception, Fight Club, and The Adjustment Bureau? Somehow Colin (from St. Louis) joins us, turns everything upside down, and provides an uncanny twist at the end!

I always find it fascinating to see how terrifying the agents are in the Matrix. Their appearance has been seen in other films like Men In Black or The Adjustment Bureau, with their main objective being to protect something that is already there, whether that's Earth or a timeline of events, or even the Matrix itself. It's always about order, discipline and following a certain set of rules. But what I ask is why we have begun to present these intimidating but intriguing protectors/antagonists as men in suits in the first place? Copyright to Two Takes

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Ray Martin about tuning into your inner voice. Ray explains that there are two types of inner voices - one that constantly narrates and criticises, and another deeper voice of wisdom that can be accessed through meditation and quieting the mind. They discuss the different voices in their heads, including the judgmental voice, the rational voice, and the voice of wisdom. They explore how these voices can be helpful or unhelpful, and shared strategies for tuning into the wisdom voice and disregarding negative or limiting voices. Ray and Judith discuss the concept of universal intelligence and its portrayal in movies like The Adjustment Bureau. They also explore the evolution of Western ideals towards Eastern philosophies, particularly in relation to mindfulness and meditation. They have an interesting conversation about mindfulness, the connection between mind-spirit and health, and their shared vision of making the world a better place. Ray Martin, AKA The Daily Explorer, is an entrepreneur and award winning business leader. He is on a mission to empower people to live authentically and to bring more joy and happiness into the world.

Joe and Adam apply some heavy, heavy chat to the lightweight 2011 flick written and directed by George Nolfi. Based on a Philip K Dick short story… that features a mind-reading/talking dog. The film has angels in it though, and according to egg-brained Joe is a repudiation of communism. Whatever else you say about this film, boy did it have a hat budget.

Welcome to Todd & Preston's Drive-Time Discussion Hour. Due to Andruw having a scheduling conflict and Dave falling asleep before we were supposed to record, Todd & Preston ended up improvising their own two-person episode. As Preston put it, this is like the discussion we might have during a car ride. So, the runtime is over an hour, and the car ride is imaginary, but the conversation is real. To give a little structure to the conversation, Todd & Preston asked each other the following main questions. - What favorite TV shows have we found via syndication? - What kinds of movies & TV shows have we enjoyed in the space opera sub-genre of sci-fi? - What technology would we *not* want humanity to have? - Do we have any guilty pleasures? - What kinds of classes have we played or want to play in Dungeons & Dragons? But, thanks to a lot of tangents, comparisons, and other references, many geeky things were mentioned, including (but not limited to)... #Babylon5 #Continuum #DCU #DoctorWho #DungeonsAndDragons #IExpectYouToDie #Farscape #Invincible #JamesBond #KolchakTheNightStalker #Lexx #MCU #Monsters #PeterDavid #SpaceCases #StargateSG1 #StarTrek #StarTrekDeepSpaceNine #StarTrekTheNextGeneration #StarWars #TheLangoliers #TheOrville #TheSimpsons #TheTwilightZone #TimeTravel #Wrestling Slide over the pile of jackets and cloth grocery bags in the back seat, climb in, and listen now to find out which roads Todd & Preston traverse in this special improvised Sunday drive down a...highway of geekiness...(?!?)... (Ooh, sorry, typing this at a late hour after two glasses of wine is causing the whole drive-time discussion metaphor to fall apart. You get the idea. We talk about stuff. Have a listen.) And, stay tuned for several installments of Star Wars related discussions. First will be one more "lost/unearthed" episode...a general Star Wars discussion recorded back in late 2020, never published, and now ready to release into Wild Space. After that, we will release the topic of Favorite & Least Favorite Star Wars Movies, which is finally recorded and long enough to be split into two installments...our first two-parter since September 2021. Just for a little shameless self-promotion, our previous multi-parters were... - #023 & #031 - "The Adjustment Bureau" and "Adjustment Bureau Overflow - The Works of Philip K. Dick" - #034, #035, and #036 - Dungeons & Dragons One-Shot Radio Play, Parts 1 to 3 - #037 & #039 - Favorite Sci-Fi TV Characters, Parts 1 & 2 - #044 & #045 - Best & Worst TV Series Finales, Parts 1 & 2 - #066 & #067 - "The Lord of the Rings" Film Trilogy Review, Parts 1 & 2 - #069 & #070 - Dragon Con 2021, Part 1 ("Pre-Con - What is Dragon Con?") and Part 2 ("Post-Con - How Did It Go?")

Chris has interviewed many VFX supervisors and directors on the podcast, but it's rare to meet someone who does both. Not only does Yuval Levy direct (and creative direct) commercials for the likes of BMW, Ford, and Microsoft, but he's also VFX supervised a wide variety of Hollywood films, including The Adjustment Bureau, Smile, and Tower Heist. Yuval and Chris dive deep into the world of car commercials, discussing the benefits of shooting in the real world versus using CG. You'll learn what makes Nascar vehicles unusual, the secrets of Emily Blunt's dancing in The Adjustment Bureau, plus what a U-Crane is (and was). Yuval finishes with a little insight on upcoming movies Beau is Afraid and The Nickel Boys, plus his thoughts on advances in AI.

There are 2 elements to success: taking action and doing the work, but also, leaving room for miracles.  _________________________ In this episode:  The Adjustment Bureau (movie trailer) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H78XCiJamXc  The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett (book) - purchase via this link, borrow ffrom your library, or find it at your fave bookstore: https://www.amazon.com/Brilliant-Life-Eudora-Honeysett-Novel/dp/0063026066   Rebecca Louis on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rebeccalouisefitness/  _______ EARL NIGHTINGALE quote:  Do each day all that can be done that day. You don't need to overwork or to rush blindly into your work trying to do the greatest possible number of things in the shortest possible time. Don't try to do tomorrow's or next week's work today. It's not the number of things you do, but the quality, the efficiency of each separate action, that counts. To achieve this “habit of success,” you need only to focus on the most important tasks and succeed in each small task of each day. Enough of these, and you have a successful week, month, year and lifetime. Success is not a matter of luck. It can be predicted and guaranteed, and anyone can achieve it by following this plan. But most people live a life of quiet mediocrity and never achieve the success they truly desire because they get impatient. They want easy success, or none at all. They see the path to success as a frustration, an impediment. Each day spent short of the ultimate goal is viewed as a time of failure and as an annoyance. As such, they get distracted by hundreds of little things that each day try to get us off our course. Yet the successful among us know the truth: If the end goal is all we desire, we simply cannot put in the time and effort it takes to be a success when it counts—each day—and therefore cannot lay the foundation for tomorrow's success.  Pay no attention to petty distractions. Enjoy the easy days and shake off the bad days. Stay steadily on your track. Concentrate on each task of the day from morning to night and do each as successfully as you can. Know full well that if each of your tasks is performed successfully, or at least the greater majority of them, your life must be successful. _______ Send us your Adjustment Bureau stories! assistant@erinskyekelly.com  And who wants to join our extroverted introverts support group?

Paul and Chris sit down for their first Connie Willis episode where she discusses the idea of the Astral Dreamscape Adjustment Bureau with James Bartley. Bartley's basic idea is that there is an organization made up of terrestrial reptilian and grey alien hybrids that give us bad dreams and implant ideas into our minds and then harvest that bad energy. What are they doing with that energy? Where does L. Ron Hubbard come into it? And did the Covid vaccines inject nanobots to steal our souls? That and much more on today's episode of Coast to Coast PM.    Contact and Mantis Alien Deep Lore Ideas: c2cpmpod@gmail.com    Weekly Reading Series: https://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/alien-spotted-riding-in-backseat-of-car-on-google-earth/    Black Knight Satellite: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Knight_satellite_conspiracy_theory 

If you are like me and you are deeply fascinated by parallel realities and the multiverse, this may be one of the most important works you will encounter. In 1977, cult writer Philip K. Dick arrived at a science fiction convention in Metz, France to deliver a speech called, “If You Find this World Bad, You Should See Some of the Others.”  The audience would leave bewildered, mystified. His talk ranged widely across such topics as cosmological time, the possibility of the universe as a computer simulation, the experience of deja vu, and the oppressive regime of Richard Nixon. Dick wrote a number of amazing novels and short stories that you have seen in movies  like Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, Adjustment Bureau, Next, Screamers, A Scanner Darkly, Paycheck and numerous others.   Dick claimed  to have actually experienced, or remembered, multiple realities and, after said encounter, to have recognized them all as true "I, in my stories and novels, often write about counterfeit worlds, semi-real worlds, as well as deranged private worlds inhabited, often, by just one person, while, meantime, the other characters either remain in their own worlds throughout or are somehow drawn into one of the peculiar ones. …At no time did I have a theoretical or conscious explanation for my preoccupation with these pluriform pseudoworlds, but now I think I understand. What I was sensing was the manifold or partially actualized realities lying tangent to what evidently is the most actualized one, the one that the majority of us, by consensus gentium, agree on." Thus, the talk's title: not only could the world be worse, he says, but it is currently worse in the multiverse of rejected alternate worlds we can't (or can't quite) see.   Here I read and discuss Dick's amazing speech. Tickets are now available for Reality Con 3 a live virtual event on November 18-20th.  https://realityrevolutioncon.com/tickets Buy My Art - Unique Sigil Magic and Energy Activation Through Flow Art and Voyages Through Space and Imagination. https://www.newearth.art/ BUY MY BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/Listen to my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V The New Earth Activation trainings - Immerse yourself in 12 hours of content focused on the new earth with channeling, meditations, advanced training and access to the new earth https://realityrevolutioncon.com/newearth Alternate Universe Reality Activation  get full access to new meditations, new lectures, recordings from the reality con and the 90 day AURA meditation schedulehttps://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118 Join our Facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/523814491927119 For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Follow Us on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRealityRevolution/ Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_reality_revolution/ Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/mediaprime Follow me on MeWe https://mewe.com/i/brianscott71 Music by Mettaversewaking dreaminner worldsconvergenceappeased soundscape 11love becomes ussuspended beliefmuted rainfor a momentworlds within worldsjourney into the mutliversephaseslight holderssolacea still mindreunion  limitlesssolsticegolden lotuswaking dream
