Jeff Hiller is someone you've seen. If you haven't seen him in his Emmy-winning turn on SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE, you might have seen him on the (newly Emmy nominated) WIDOWS BAY or PLURIBUS (which has, since this interview took place, earned him his second Emmy acting nom). Or maybe you've seen his memoir, ACTRESS OF A CERTAIN AGE, on the bookstore shelves. If you don't know Jeff, now you will: in this episode, he  tells Jordan about his connections to the timeless star-studded Southern dramedy STEEL MAGNOLIAS. But first he shares the significance of a character who brought the romcom "gay best friend" front and center at last: it's  George from THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION, one of Paul Rudd's earliest roles. Then Jordan has one quick thing about a new can't-miss dad movie, William Kaufman's MAN OF WAR.  The cast of STEEL MAGNOLIAS on DONAHUE in 1989 Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

Puhumme siitä, miten mangan kohdeyleisöjen perinteinen nelikenttäjaottelu – shounen, shoujo, seinen ja josei – ei täysin vastaa todellisuutta siitä, mille kohdeyleisöille mangaa nykyään tehdään. Keskustelu on laajennettu versio tämän kesän Desucon-ohjelmastamme. Ajankohtaisena aiheena puhumme siitä, miten Solut työssä -sarjan tekijä Akane Shimizu on avautunut kustannustoimittajien taholta kokemastaan ikävästä kohtelusta.

I've noticed a phenomenon in the reading of the Śrī Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta, of which I've marked a couple of verses that I want to read to you to make my point. I found that in the first reading that I ever heard of Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta, which was with a group of godbrothers and godsisters, there's a section in which Gopa-kumāra goes back home, back to Godhead. We are interested that when he reaches Goloka Vṛndāvana, it looks the same as Gokula Vraja. We are interested to hear of the characteristics of the people there—that they are in ecstasy. It's in the afternoon, or late afternoon. Kṛṣṇa had gone to the forest to tend cows, and he comes back, and upon his return, there's a clamor in Vṛndāvana. People had been practically comatose during his absence, but then there are signs—there is a cloud coming from the dust of the hooves of the calves, and Kṛṣṇa, returning from the forest and all the residents of Vṛndāvana have come alive, and they're waiting, awaiting Kṛṣṇa coming back into the village. When he comes into the clearing and he sees Gopa-kumāra there, Kṛṣṇa runs forward and he embraces Gopa-kumāra, and Kṛṣṇa faints out of ecstasy for seeing his devotee. This is the revelation from this section of the Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta. I will read a couple of verses before the one I want to point out to you. This is Gopa-kumāra noticing Kṛṣṇa's beauty. But even that isn't the point. We know Kṛṣṇa is beautiful; we know Goloka Vṛndāvana is made of cintāmaṇi stone, but that's not what evokes the ecstasy, he says: "His lotus eyes beamed with a merciful glance, and the varied assets of beauty decorated him in a singular way. The fingers of his lotus hand busily pushed back the locks of his hair, which flew about, adorned with the dust raised by the cows"—see, he's just come into the vision of Gopa-kumāra for the first time, seeing him in Goloka—"His tender, divine lotus feet touched the surface of the earth just to grant her the gift of supreme splendor. Playfully dancing as they moved, they attracted everyone's heart with their great eagerness to walk quickly with large steps. The effulgence of his cloud-colored body, shining with the full sweetness of youth, lit up all corners of the sky. His beauty, which captured the hearts of the ever-dear devotees of Vraja, was an ocean abounding with countless excellences. He leaped forward and came close to me, compelled by the affection of his helpless devotee. I fainted in love at seeing him. He caught hold of me by the neck, and suddenly he too fell to the ground." And here's Sanātana Gosvāmī's commentary on that verse. It's short: "Gopa-kumāra was already aware, at least theoretically, that Kṛṣṇa is very affectionate to his helpless devotees, but now he learned that Kṛṣṇa had affection specifically for him. Merely seeing Kṛṣṇa was enough to utterly enchant Gopa-kumāra, but this new discovery pushed him toward the limit of ecstasy." So my point here is: what every soul is looking for is recognition. We find even in modern psychology there are those who point out in raising a child, the child doesn't cry because he wants to survive; the child cries because he wants his mother to come and recognize him. And this is a theme we could take from Bhagavad-gītā.

Big question right – How much? Deuteronomy 6:5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your (what words would you put here?) The English translators struggle here because the Hebrew word God used is kind of an adverb. For example looking through the old testament here is the breakdown of how it is was translated in the KJV Very (137x), greatly (49x), sore (23x), exceeding (18x), great (12x), exceedingly (11x), much (10x), exceeding (with H3966) (6x), exceedingly (with H3966) (5x), diligently (4x), good (3x), might (2x), mightily (2x), miscellaneous (17x). So you could just take the simple child like approach and tell God, " I Love You THIIIIIIIIIIIIIS MUCH!!" Affection, hugs, kisses all feel part of that.

As we celebrate Father’s Day, we are continuing our series called It Is Well With My Soul. Your soul is your mind, your emotions, and your decision-making process. It occupies the same space as your mental health, so in order to say that it is well with your soul, you have to be able to say, “It is well with my mental health.” Can you say that? Are your thoughts positive and healthy? Are you emotionally stable and able to enjoy your family? Do you make solid decisions? Hebrews 12:10 tells us that “our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how.” That verse can bring so much comfort and hope to dads because God doesn’t need us to be perfect because He is already perfect. In fact, the perfect dad is not a perfect man; he’s a flawed man who is surrendered to His Father. God is asking us just to do the best we can do — and along the way, if we can do that, we will set our families up for spiritual and mental health.

Brian and Jeff welcome director/writer/producer BT Meza to discuss his new film Affection, released in theaters May 8 and on video on demand June 5. Meza connects horror and joy through his love of watching horror, recounts early influences like reading Pet Sematary and Jaws and watching The Exorcist, and explains how he began making work by constantly photographing and filming, including music videos. He describes getting Affection made through supporter collaboration, producer Austin Walk's advocacy, and persistence through pandemic delays. The conversation highlights filmmaking's collaborative demands, Affection's blend of sci‑fi and horror rooted in plausible technology, and its commitment to practical effects created by Slither effects artist Dan Rebert with no CGI. Meza discusses the three-character cast (Ellie, Bruce, Alice), themes of memory, identity, grief, and a tension driven by Bruce's need for certainty. Affection

What if some of the things we've believed about ourselves were never true to begin with?In Part 1 of this special message from the CIM Conference, Bill Vanderbush explores identity, belonging, grace, and the Father's heart through the lens of Scripture and personal story. From the challenges of stigma and church culture to the beauty of God's original design for humanity, Bill reminds us that our deepest questions have never been about earning God's love—they've always been about discovering who we've been all along.This conversation dives into themes of identity, the voice we listen to, the power of our words, and the invitation to live from the reality of God's presence rather than from fear, shame, or lack. Along the way, Bill unpacks Genesis, the story of Cain and Abel, the nature of grace, and the radical truth that God has always known and loved you.Whether you're wrestling with questions about faith, deconstruction, identity, or simply wanting a deeper understanding of the Father's heart, this message offers encouragement, challenge, and hope.In this episode:• Walking through stigma and seasons of uncertainty• Why God's presence often feels strongest when idols fall• The Father's heart and the beauty of grace• Recovering forgotten truths from church history• Discovering your true identity• The power of words and human creativity• The lie of lack and the birth of religion• What Cain and Abel reveal about human nature• Living from God's presence instead of fear00:00 - Introduction & Bill Vanderbush Series02:22 - A Historically Significant Moment03:38 - Finding God Beyond the Brand06:31 - When Idols Come Down08:02 - Grace, Heresy, and a Better Gospel09:15 - AI, Church History, and Recovering Ancient Truth12:03 - Becoming a Grandfather & Seeing the Father's Heart13:29 - The Sound of Your Blood15:06 - Transformation Through Renewed Thinking17:13 - Carrying Divine Wholeness18:26 - Following the Sound of His Voice19:14 - Discovering Your True Identity20:20 - Genesis and Humanity's Original Design23:06 - How Others Shape Our Identity25:03 - God's Creative Power Through Words26:46 - Created in the Image of God29:00 - Divine Breath and New Creation30:30 - The Face of a Loving Father32:39 - The Power to Assign Identity34:29 - The Lie of Lack and the Birth of Religion37:01 - Cain, Abel, and the Voice of Blood38:18 - Rethinking Sin Nature40:03 - Freedom, Responsibility, and Redemption42:25 - Attention, Affection, and God's Presence44:15 - A God Who Wants Friendship45:08 - Cain, Abel, and the First Church Conflict45:40 - The Voice of Your Brother's Blood

Greetings, fans of My Russian Clementine.  We are excited to tell you about our rock'n'roll murder mysteries.  Like My Russian Clementine, they're full cast audio dramas.  The Bonds of Affection takes place in 1978 in Santa Monica.  And we've just released a kind of prequel to it called The Phantom of Ocean Park.   In 1968, Ocean Park in Santa Monica was one of those quintessential places at the epicenter of "Somethin' happenin' here", to quote Stephen Stills. Ocean Park, Venice, by the water... it was Haight-Ashbury… with a beach. All peace and love, until Santa Monica City and its developers imposed eminent domain and bulldozed the beach neighborhoods, devastating families and bankrupting P-O-P, our beloved amusement park, so they could tear down the pier and start throwing up high-rises from Pico to Venice. But that summer of '68, they had a big problem. The Cheetah, Ocean Park's world-renowned rock'n'roll club, was still on the pier and wildly popular, with bands like Creedence packing the house nightly…. Then the murders started. The Phantom of Ocean Park, a full cast rock'n'roll murder mystery, wherever you listen to podcasts.

In this ScreenFish 1on1 Interview, Joseph Cross, who plays Bruce in AFFECTION, reflects on whether his character can truly be considered a good man and the moral complexities that define him. He discusses collaborating with Jessica Rothe and how their on-screen chemistry informs the story. Joseph also explores the relationship between fear and grief, examining how vulnerability, loss, and emotional tension shape Bruce's journey and deepen the narrative's emotional resonance.AFFECTION is available on VOD/Digital on Tuesday, June 9th, 2026.

Questions to consider: “The Performance of Love vs. The Presence of Love” How many people say “I love you” when what they really mean is, “Please don't leave me”? Are some people in love with connection… or addicted to being emotionally worshipped? How much of your “love language” is actually a sophisticated survival strategy? Have modern relationships become mutual performance contracts disguised as intimacy? How many couples secretly maintain the relationship because the image of the relationship benefits them? What if your partner knows how to manage your emotions better than they know how to genuinely connect with you? Can somebody perform affection so convincingly that even they believe the act? 

Send us Fan MailIn this inspiring episode, we step inside the soulful world of Cariño, Uptown Chicago's acclaimed Latin American culinary sanctuary to explore what happens when radical ambition is built upon a foundation of mutual care.While visionary Chef and Owner Norman Fenton provides the brilliant culinary canvas—celebrating everything from contemporary Mexican cuisine to ancestral heirloom corn with the upcoming Molino Los Hermanos expansion directly next door to his MICHELIN starred restaurant; the true heartbeat of the restaurant lies in its firm culture of support. Cariño - translating directly to affection, serves as a powerful reminder that no task is too large and no vision is too bold when a team stands shoulder-to-shoulder. It is within this nurturing ecosystem, stripped of traditional industry ego, that true creative exploration is allowed to flourish and redefine the modern hospitality landscape.Central to this creative evolution is the inspiring work of Beverage Director Raymond Medina, whose personal journey of discovery and expression takes center stage in our conversation. Raymond opens up about his robust path of craft development, revealing how the restaurant's supportive environment empowered him to design a beverage program that seamlessly mirrors the complexity of Cariño's multi course tasting menu. From pushing the boundaries of traditional spirits to curating a highly inventive, deeply thoughtful zero-proof mocktail pairing program, Raymond's sensory storytelling honors heritage and inspiration in every curation while also empowering curiosity.His continuous exploration proves that when an individual is fiercely backed by their community, they can transform a beverage program into an elevated art form, illustrating that true mastery is born from curiosity and an unwavering safety net of team solidarity. This episode reminds us what is possible when we stand alongside one another to create something special - collectively. We love this episode and it proves that the journey of hospitality isn't linear and you never know where you will end - but the reality is, you will land exactly where you need to be. We'll see you out there. - The T o S Crew Need to catch up?

Not because something's wrong. Because of pruning. The brain cuts whatever isn't being used. Dr. Baland Jalal says the window is real, and what you do in it matters. Affection first. Hugging and physical touch trigger oxytocin and neuropeptides that directly support neuroplasticity. It's not soft parenting. It's brain science. Then real stimulation. Not screens. Screens wire dopamine addiction loops. The stimulation that builds the brain is social. Learning to read faces, pick up on emotional cues, engage with other humans. Dr. Jalal admits COVID isolation left him socially handicapped. His mirror neurons went quiet. And finally: let them run. Cardiovascular exercise produces BDNF, what he calls "fertilizer for the brain," which grows new synapses. The last one is easy to miss: convey passion. Kids catch it from the adults around them.

Children were never meant to earn affection. That idea didn't come from God but from legalistic, conditional relationships. Christian parents are called to imitate God the Father, and one of the most critical ways we do that is by loving our children simply because they belong to us. That's how God loves His children. Of course, we know they are not perfect. There is a time and a way to deal with their disobedience, but the foundation of their upbringing must be the constant, unwavering assurance of love. Love should be an uninterrupted expectation in a child's life. When that expectation is consistently met, you give them something sturdy—something God-centered—to build on. Without that, their souls will develop around a hollow craving. Their hearts will fracture. They'll grow up into complicated people. Let's consider four such individuals.

Everyone worships something. The rock star, the ideology, the bottle of wine, the beautiful person across the room. Dostoevsky identified it as an incessant, painful longing: so long as man remains free, he strives for nothing so persistently as to find someone worthy of complete surrender. We have free will — and where we invest our affection becomes our most important choice. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that longing alongside the Vedic text's most sacred passage — where the gopi girls of Vrindavan invest everything in the very source of rasa itself.

Last weekend, Curry Barker's Obsession was the talk of Horrorwood. But, it wasn't the only twisted relationship tale (nearly) new to audiences. BT Meza's Affection sticks Jessica Rothe in a horrible scenario of either amnesia or entrapment. It's horror by way of interpretation and perception: either a wife and mother has truly forgotten her family, or a woman is being gaslit into believing a life she never lived. The Matts have a heavy one on their hands to talk about this episode—but does the film earn its domestic thrills? About Affection Ellie Carter (Jessica Rothe) has never met the man who calls himself her husband, doesn't recognize the girl who calls her mother, and can't remember the life she is told is her own. Afflicted by violent seizures that reset her memory without warning, she is trapped in a cyclical nightmare, struggling to uncover the horrifying truth of her existence--before she forgets it all over again.

We have another fun interview to share with you this week about a recent independent release that quickly caught our attention. AFFECTION tells the story of Ellie (Jessica Rothe) who awakens one night in an unfamiliar bed next to a husband she doesn't recognize (Joseph Cross) and with a daughter she doesn't remember (Julianna Layne). She then begins to experience a cycle of sudden, severe tremors and horrifying disorientations that point to a whole other life. What follows is a wholly surprising scenario of science-fiction, horror, and obsession. It's a twisty thriller rooted in deep emotional resonance and featuring three outstanding performances.Reed and Vera had the chance to sit down with writer/director BT Meza and special effects supervisor Dan Rebert about their remarkable film that hit theaters May 8th.
