Podcast appearances and mentions of Alex Thomson

Excalibur, o la revisión del mito del rey Arturo y Merlín, es una de las adaptaciónes más conocidas del tema. Dani Palacios y Juanma González dedican un programa a la película Excalibur, revisión del mito del Rey Arturo a manos de John Boorman estrenada en 1981. Esta fantásía épica dejó en su momento muchas imágenes para el recuerdo, producto de la gloriosa fotografía de Alex Thomson, y es en conjunto una de las obras más apreciadas en torno a esa fábula.

[EP 25-208] Trump is in complete control, and the Left is in a tailspin below the hard deck.  Jake Tapper and Alex Thomson now say that as early as 2023 Democrats know with certainty that Biden was unfit. Apparently, the held a staged town hall in order to get footage for a campaign commercial. After 90 minutes of taping they have nothing usable because Biden performed so poorly. Charles Blow admitted this during a recent interview on CNN, where he referenced writing an article explaining how "fit" Biden was, based on information he received from others. Well what about the information in public domain with Biden shaking hands with nobody multiple times and meandering around multiple stages. And let's not forget the multiple word salads. Do these people not have eyes? Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

Rares sont les marins à avoir goûté à autant de supports, si jeune : à 35 ans, Sam Goodchild, qui vient de boucler le Vendée Globe à la 9e position après 76 jours de course, n'a que le mot "apprendre" à la bouche. Alors, depuis qu'à 15 ans il s'est mis en tête de boucler le tour du monde en solitaire, le jeune Anglais multiplie les expériences.Après une jeunesse vécue aux Antilles sur le bateau familial, il rentre en Angleterre en pension puis intègre le circuit habitable et goûte au match racing, toujours partant pour filer un coup de main pour bricoler. C'est comme ça qu'il rencontre Alex Thomson et Mike Golding et vit le Vendée Globe 2008 de l'intérieur, après des premières transatlantiques et transpacifiques. Il a à peine 18 ans et arrête ses études : il sera marin.Il entre à l'Artemis Offshore Academy, et se lance en Figaro, pour quatre saisons : un apprentissage rude mais précieux, d'autant que, déjà, à côté, il multiplie les piges en Class40, gagnant la Normandy Channel Race en 2012. Quelques mois plus tard, il tombe à la mer lors de la deuxième étape de la Global Ocean Race, récupéré après 40 minutes à l'eau par son équipier Conrad Colman.Pendant ces riches années, il navigue en VOR65, en MOD70, en Imoca, désormais reconnu par les marins français, qui apprécient sa polyvalence... et son français parfait ! Habitué aux projets des autres, il se lance en Class40 pour le Rhum 2018, soutentu par Netflix, mais il démâte quelques jours après le départ. L'année suivante, il fait la rencontre de Leyton, qui lui confie la barre du Figaro, puis celle de l'Ocean Fifty.Cette fois, il a son propre projet, deux saisons complètes - dont une 3e place sur la Transat Jacques Vabre - et un statut de favori au départ de la Route du Rhum 2022 ; malheureusement, il est gravement blessé par sa colonne de winch dès le départ et doit renoncer.La suite était déjà écrite : à peine remis, il prend la barre de l'ancien Imoca de Thomas Ruyant et intègre la structure du Nordiste pour préparer le Vendée Globe, enfin ! En deux saisons, il accumule les places de 3e et décroche un titre de champion du monde Imoca, participe à The Ocean Race avec Holcim PRB, démâte quelques semaines avant le départ mais prend le départ de son tour du monde en solo serein et heureux.Il avait deux objectifs : terminer classé et prendre du plaisir. Objectifs atteints, et maintenant ? Sam Goodchild reconnaît que se remettre en selle n'est pas forcément évident et que réaliser son rêve est un peu vertigineux. Mais, désormais, courir autour du monde n'est plus un rêve, c'est son métier, et il a bien l'intention de continuer à le pratiquer.Diffusé le 22 Avril 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

The 1993 action-adventure film "Cliffhanger," directed by Renny Harlin and starring Sylvester Stallone, John Lithgow, Michael Rooker, and Janine Turner, is an adrenaline-pumping ride that combines breathtaking scenery with heart-stopping action sequences. Set against the rugged backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, "Cliffhanger" not only showcases Stallone's physical prowess but also delves into themes of redemption, survival, and the human spirit's resilience against nature's formidable challenges.The plot of "Cliffhanger" is straightforward yet compelling. Stallone plays Gabe Walker, a mountain rescue climber who is haunted by a failed rescue mission that resulted in the death of a friend's girlfriend. The event drives a wedge between him and his fellow climber Hal Tucker (played by Michael Rooker), and Gabe leaves the mountain rescue team, vowing never to return. However, fate has other plans, and he is drawn back to the mountains when a group of criminals, led by the ruthless Eric Qualen (John Lithgow), lose their loot across the peaks during a heist gone wrong. Gabe becomes embroiled in a deadly game of cat and mouse as he tries to thwart their plan and survive the treacherous mountain terrain.What sets "Cliffhanger" apart from other action films of its time is its masterful use of the natural environment as both a breathtaking backdrop and a formidable antagonist. The cinematography, by Alex Thomson, captures the majestic beauty and inherent danger of the Rocky Mountains, providing a stunning canvas for the film's high-octane action sequences. These sequences, including death-defying stunts and edge-of-your-seat climbs, are executed with precision and realism, making "Cliffhanger" a standout film in the action genre.Stallone delivers a nuanced performance as Gabe Walker, blending physicality with vulnerability. His portrayal of a man battling his own demons while fighting to survive and save others adds depth to the film's narrative. John Lithgow's performance as the villainous Eric Qualen is equally compelling. Lithgow brings a cold, calculating intelligence to his role, making him a formidable adversary for Stallone's character.The supporting cast, including Janine Turner as Jessie Deighan, Gabe's former girlfriend, and Michael Rooker as Hal Tucker, contribute significantly to the film's emotional weight. Their performances add layers to the story, highlighting themes of forgiveness, loyalty, and the bonds formed through shared adversity."Cliffhanger" also benefits from a well-crafted script that balances action with character development. The dialogue is sharp, and the pacing is tight, ensuring that the film maintains its momentum while allowing for moments of character introspection. The score, composed by Trevor Jones, complements the film's epic scope, enhancing both the suspenseful and emotional moments.However, no film is without its flaws. Some critics have pointed out the implausibility of certain stunts and the occasional reliance on action movie clichés. Despite these criticisms, "Cliffhanger" remains a beloved classic in the action genre, praised for its innovation, execution, and ability to engage and thrill audiences.In conclusion, "Cliffhanger" stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of action films that combine compelling storytelling with breathtaking visuals and heart-pounding action. Its success can be attributed to a talented cast, a skilled director, and a production team that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in action cinema. Nearly three decades later, "Cliffhanger" continues to captivate audiences, offering a thrilling cinematic experience that celebrates the indomitable human spirit's struggle against the forces of nature and evil. It's a film that not only entertains but also inspires, reminding us of the power of redemption and the strength found in facing our fears.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

After learning what today's British Establishment was all about at Rugby School and Cambridge, Alex Thomson served in a Christian mission in the former Soviet Union and went on to spend the rest of his twenties as a GCHQ officer. He moved to the Netherlands aged thirty in 2009 and has spent the last decade and a half more quietly as a translator and interpreter and a researcher of networked evil. Since 2014, Alex has presented his emerging findings via the Eastern Approaches brand on UK Column News, where his specialisms are Europe, geopolitics, religious affairs and constitutional matters. He maintains the Eastern Approaches YouTube channel, mostly of careful readings of key documents indicating the scope of corruption of British and Western public life. He has two Telegram channels: Eastern Approaches and All the Eastern Approaches. Gwynne's Introduction to True Philosophy: When it comes to the news, who, if anyone, is telling us the truth? It seems that none of us can give a satisfactory answer. We have been lied to by the press and the media for so long that most of us down the rabbit hole reckon that the news, and just about everything else that surrounds us, is a lie. So what can we do? One solution is to buy Gwynne's Introduction to True Philosophy. This book will not only help you to think properly, teaching you to analyse and sift what is going on, helping you get to the reliable truth; but it also dissects numerous examples of subjects (like evolution) revealing fascinating truths that have been deliberately hidden. Gwynne's Introduction to True Philosophy is a real page turner at £18 including UK post. If life were normal, you'd be able to buy this book on Amazon, but no longer. AMAZON misleadingly say that this book is unavailable - this in spite of them being repeatedly told that copies are readily available at the publishers. Does not this censorship make such a book even more intriguing? So if you want a copy go to stedwardspress.co.uk and buy online direct from the publishers.

C'est avec une immense joie que nous recevons une nouvelle fois Alan Roura, skipper, entrepreneur, et papa extraordinaire, autour de ce micro. Cet épisode a été tourné au cœur d'un chantier naval, entre pièces mécaniques, cordages et semi-remorques.Pour plonger encore plus profondément dans l'univers d'Alan Roura, nous t'invitons à découvrir ce lieu de tournage sur les réseaux sociaux @extraterrien.Alan m'avait beaucoup inspiré pour plusieurs raisons : il n'est jamais allé à l'école il a vécu toute sa vie sur un bateau et a travaillé dans les ports/ il est le plus jeune skipper à avoir fini le Vendée Globe il est à la tête d'un des bateaux les plus rapides et les plus technologiques Dans cette seconde discussion, Alan partage avec nous les coulisses de sa collaboration avec son co-skipper, Simon Koster. Il nous plonge dans la naissance de leur partenariat, leur complémentarité et la manière dont ils prennent ensemble des décisions cruciales. Il nous dévoile les défis inattendus qu'ils ont dû surmonter rappelant ainsi l'humilité nécessaire face à l'immensité de l'océan. Au-delà de son rôle de skipper, Alan jongle également avec celui de jeune papa. Son désir profond est d'offrir à sa fille la même liberté qu'il a connue, lui permettant de se découvrir soi-même et de choisir librement son propre avenir. Mais Alan ne s'arrête pas là. En tant qu'entrepreneur, il nous dévoile avec sincérité les multiples facettes de la gestion de son entreprise, ainsi que les défis qu'il a dû surmonter dans sa quête de financements. Il souligne l'importance cruciale de la visibilité, de la capacité à se présenter efficacement, et de la nécessité d'une équipe solide pour atteindre les sommets.
