Join us for an engaging episode of Parsha & Prose with Rabbi Shlomo Gemara as we explore the Torah portion of Bamidbar through the lens of the iconic 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption, directed by Frank Darabont and adapted from Stephen King's novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. In Bamidbar, God instructs Moses to conduct a census of the Jewish people, assessing their numbers and strength as they prepare to enter Canaan. Rabbi Gemara masterfully connects this parsha to The Shawshank Redemption, drawing parallels between the structured organization of the Israelite camp and the enduring hope of the film's protagonist, Andy Dufresne, who clings to hope in the face of an oppressive prison environment. Through lively discussions, heartfelt stories, and moments of laughter and reflection, Rabbi Gemara and I (Avrum) uncover the profound themes of hope and purpose that resonate in both the parsha and the film. Tune in for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation! Am Yisrael Chai.

Covering the iconic film "The Shawshank Redemption" after seeing it for the first time, we delve into its journey from initial failure to cinematic excellence. It's not just about prison; it's about hope, friendship, and resilience in the face of adversity. - Discussion of the film's historical context and critical reception - Analysis of key characters and performances by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman - Insights on cinematic techniques and thematic elements - Personal reflections and critiques from the hosts - Closing thoughts and overall ratings of the film Letterbox'd Synopsis: Imprisoned in the 1940s for the double murder of his wife and her lover, upstanding banker Andy Dufresne begins a new life at the Shawshank prison, where he puts his accounting skills to work for an amoral warden. During his long stretch in prison, Dufresne comes to be admired by the other inmates – including an older prisoner named Red – for his integrity and unquenchable sense of hope.

In this episode of the Cheers to Freedom podcast, hosts Josh Taylor and Levi McClendon discuss their recent trip to Zihuatanejo, Mexico, and its significance to Levi, inspired by the movie Shawshank Redemption. They explore themes of personal growth, perseverance, and the importance of community, drawing lessons from the film's characters, particularly Andy Dufresne and Red. The conversation emphasizes the power of small actions, trusting the process, and the impact of bettering oneself while uplifting others. Ultimately, they encourage listeners to choose freedom and actively write their own stories in life.

In the 1994, critically acclaimed movie, The Shawshank Redemption, Morgan Freeman's character, “Red,” sits with his friend and fellow inmate, “Andy Dufresne,” brilliantly portrayed by Tim Robbins, in the courtyard of Shawshank Prison. “Hope can be a dangerous thing,” Red says, as Dufresne stares blankly into space.   It certainly can be…. Or, it can be what keeps a man alive under extraordinary circumstances.   For today's episode, I take you, the listeners of The Missing Chapter Podcast, to my home town; the small hamlet of Altamont, NY, some 30 mins. outside of New York State's capital of Albany for a truly remarkable, inspirational story of determination and survival. Like a Hollywood movie script, when our nation called upon the “greatest generation” to defend freedom from tyranny and fascism, men, women… families… responded like never before. Their stories – this story – from the nestling hills of the Hudson Valley to your ears on an episode that truly “hits home” for this host.   Thanks for joining us… on this, a special home town episode of The Missing Chapter.

IMDB-Anführer, Kritiker-Liebling, gelungene Stephen-King-Verfilmung: The Shawshank-Redemption gilt gemeinhin als einer der besten Filme aller Zeiten. Trotz Kassen-Flop und Oscar-Niederlagen hat sich die epische Gefängnis-Geschichte von Frank Darabont im Verlauf der Jahre den Ruf eines makellosen Kunstwerks erarbeitet und wird aufgrund seines starken Figuren-Ensembles, eines geschliffenen Drehbuchs und etlicher ikonischer Szenen immer wieder von Cineasten in höchsten Tönen gelobt. Und daher steht nun die große Frage im Raum: Hat sich „Die Verurteilten" das Lob wirklich verdient? Wir klopfen heute mit unseren kleinen Kritiker-Hämmerchen an die dramaturgische Gefängniswand und blicken mal hinter das Poster der Top-Wertungen. Wir stellen uns den Fragen, ob der Film zurecht auf Platz 1 von imdb steht, warum ein sperriger Name für leere Kinokassen gesorgt haben könnte und was die Nackte Kanone mit all dem zu tun hat. Das - und viel mehr - erfahrt ihr in dieser ausführlichen Retrospektive zu „The Shawshank Redemption".

Vintage Sand listeners this month will get something of a twofer, a BOGO episode. Since we really have not had the chance to do a full necrology since July, Michael takes the time to relate the accomplishments of some very bright lights in the film business that have gone out over the past four months. These include artists who leave behind a great legacy and holes that can never really be filled, including people like Dame Maggie Smith, James Earl Jones and Alain Delon. Before we get to that point, though, we begin with a very different kind of eulogy: our reflections on Francis Ford Coppola's summa, the egregious "Megalopolis". We felt, as we did for Scorsese in our episodes on both "The Irishman" and "Killers of the Flower Moon", that a sprawling work by one of our greatest filmmakers, in this case a film that had a gestation period of nearly fifty years, deserved to be examined both in its own right as a work of art and in context as part of its creator's career. In hindsight, it's risible to think that at the end of the 70's, film fans were heatedly debating who among the heroes of the American New Wave would end up with the greater career: Scorsese or Coppola? (Let's not even talk about some of the others around the periphery of that conversation at the time, like De Palma, Bogdanovich, Friedkin, Rafelson, Cimino, Lucas and yes, perhaps even Spielberg—although, surprisingly, Paul Schrader has been coming up with a few late-period masterpieces). Megalopolis ends that debate, and stands, as I referred to "Eyes Wide Shut" relative to Kubrick's career in our episode devoted to that film, as a cardboard tombstone to the career of a gifted filmmaker. While the members of Team Vintage Sand, whose bottomless intrepidity was confirmed by each of us successfully wading through (a la Andy Dufresne) the 2 ½ hours of dreck that is "Megalopolis", did find the occasional positive to light on, for the most part it was an example of a work of incredible consistency, in that just about every choice Coppola makes as writer and director was the wrong one. Perhaps the comparison with Scorsese is unfair, and certainly nothing could ever erase the impact of Coppola's four films of the 1970's, or even the smaller delights of his later work (Mike's a fan of "The Cotton Club", and I've always thought that "Tucker" was a much better film than its reputation dictates). But for us, the truth is that between the gratuitous literary and high culture references, the sophomoric philosophizing that would make any actual 10th grader cringe, the derivative film tributes sprinkled throughout (including, unbelievably, a moment where the film appears to physically burn up in the projector—a brilliant idea had Bergman not done it 60 years ago in "Persona"), and a script that even good actors like Adam Driver and Giancarlo Esposito can't save, "Megalopolis" was, quite unintentionally, the funniest film of the year—and given how much we love and admire its creator, the most painful. Once can only hope that this is not Coppola's final statement, and that in future efforts he will trust his audience, not try so hard to impress us with his erudition, and remember what made him so great in the first place

What is this strange feeling? It feels strange but also really good. I think it's what some people call “hope”??? Yes, as a fanbase, we haven't dared have hope for many years. Not to relive the past decade but everytime we had enough enthusiasm to ‘hope', we were taken out with a sledge hammer at the ankles, (å la Stephen King's Misery) crippling all further dreams of the Huskers ever being good again. Huskers are 5-1, the Hoosiers are 6-0, and both teams are coming off a bye week. Saturday will be the showdown in Bloomington Indiana at 11 am central. Nebraska is the “underdog” this week with Indiana being a -6.5 favorite. The Cornhuskers are very familiar with being the underdogs, especially the veterans on the team who came back for another year to prove that this team that began a rebuild last season is a WINNER. Indiana, on the other hand, is in the first year of their rebuild. Curt Cignetti is a good head coach whose record at his previous schools shows he knows how to win. However, this is the Big Ten, and winning here ain't that easy (just ask Scott Frost). This season, Indiana has defeated UCLA and Northwestern, both in the Big Ten BUT both are in major overhaul mode after losing their head coaches (UCLA this season, NW last season). As Husker fans, we have been here before, it's hard to drink that ‘Rhule-ade' after so many disappointments but tonight we will echo the sentiments that Andy Dufresne wrote in Stephen King's The Shawshank Redemption; “Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies” Go Big Red!

Era il 23 settembre 1994 quando arrivò nelle sale americane Le Ali della Libertà. Il film di Frank Darabont con Tim Robbins e Morgan Freeman è cresciuto nella considerazione del pubblico nel corso degli anni, tanto da guadagnarsi il primo posto nella classifica di IMDB, il quarto tra i film più belli della storia del cinema della rivista Empire e il 72esimo nella graduatoria dell'American Film Institute. Stefano Cocci e Simone Zizzari raccontano la favola carceraria e la splendida amicizia tra Andy Dufresne e Red e soprattutto tutte le curiosità e le cosa da sapere per essere dei veri fan della pellicola

[Puedes apoyarme en: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/HDeEspantos] Stephen King es considerado actualmente como el Maestro del Terror, por no hacer referencia a su apellido, pues también podríamos llamarle "El Rey del Terror". Pero, en esta ocasión, este es un relato que realmente no cuenta con los elementos clave para ser considerada una novela corta de terror. Las Cuatro Estaciones, es un compilado de 4 historias de Stephen King en las que él explora géneros que no necesariamente hacen uso del terror u horror; pero que dan grandes destellos de la grandeza que componen su escritura. Así que, en esta ocasión, he decidido grabar "Rita Hayworth y la Redención de Shawshank"; una novela corta que realmente me ha gustado, atrapado y llenado de esperanza. Este mismo relato inspiró una película que, hasta el día de hoy, es considerada la mejor de la historia. En este primer capítulo conoceremos un poco la historia de Red y cómo es que él supo el motivo por el que Andy Dufresne llegó a Shawshank.

A Andy Dufresne, se le ha acusado de asesinar a su esposa y al amante, también ha sido condenado a dos cadenas perpetuas consecutivas en la prisión de Shawshank. Andy se relaciona con los reos de la prisión, en especial con "Red", quien consigue cosas dentro de Shawshank. Dufresne le pide solo dos cosas: un pequeño martillete y un póster de Rita Hayworth. Esta es la historia de Stephen King que fue adaptada al cine, convirtiéndose en la mejor película de la historia, hasta el día de hoy. "Sueños de Fuga" (o Sueños de Rendeción, como también se le conoció en español) es una de las mejores adaptaciones de la obra del maestro del terror Stephen King.

Would you say Shawshank Redemption is "a movie with a happy ending"? Years ago as a young husband, that's what Brian picked to watch when his wife made a request for just such a film with a happy ending. (Spoiler: Shawshank Redemption was not the kind of movie she had meant.) For this momentous 145th episode, and the first ever LAMPC pick WITH CLIPS FROM THE MOVIE INCLUDED IN THE EPISODE (go watch it on Canon+, people), the guys discuss a movie this film that was a box-office failure upon release, and has since climbed into the upper echelons of film conversations. Brian asks Nate about its popular appeal. Nate surmises why it flopped upon release, and makes suggestions for improving that release (if given a time machine). Brian fails at describing Andy Dufresne's character flaw. Nate avoids talking about Stephen King, who wrote the original story. They discuss how Christians interpret movies wrong (Andy giving the 12 prisoners beer on the roof is the Last Supper) and how atheists do the same thing (Zihuatanejo is a Nietzschean paradise beyond guilt and innocence!). Enjoy! #LAMPC #LookAtMovingPicturesClub #SASF #StoriesAreSoulFood #ShawshankRedemption

How can small changes lead to big results?  In this episode of Flow Over Fear, Adam Hill shares how seemingly small changes can lead to significant transformations over time as well as insights on cultivating daily habits and breaking big goals down into manageable steps. Massive results start with tiny tweaks - so don't underestimate the impact of your next small step today! Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: The creative benefits of daily pun practice Using small actions like gratitude journals to increase life happiness Shawshank Redemption demonstrates the power of persistence over decades  Incremental improvements led Adam to complete an Ironman Small tweaks can transform a company's growth and sustainability Episode Highlights: [03:22] Posting puns on social media to boost positivity Simply changing your daily social media habit from posting angry political rants to instead sharing lighthearted jokes and puns opens your mind to more positivity. It trains your brain toward creativity rather than negativity. [09:35] Lessons on persistence from Shawshank Redemption The movie Shawshank Redemption provides a powerful example of the impact of small, consistent actions. Andy Dufresne's character patiently chips away at his cell wall with a small rock hammer for decades, escaping in the end. This shows that persistence, with even seemingly minor improvements over long periods, can lead to truly transformative results [12:39] Major transformation is going to start with those small tweaks Significant life changes cannot be achieved through huge leaps alone, but rather must begin with incremental improvements in our daily habits and routines. By consistently making small adjustments, we can eventually transform our circumstances and ourselves in powerful ways. [21:59] Daily tweaks lead to transformation If you're not making little changes throughout the day, you can get stuck in your habits or your behaviors. Then transformation is less likely to happen because there's nothing prompting that transformation. [23:05] Creativity sparks new ideas By practicing creativity regularly, even in small ways, Adam found it helped develop his ability to think more divergently and consider new potential solutions. This mental flexibility aids transformation by making one more receptive to fresh perspectives.

Wishing You a Great 2023Others might begin the new year with resolutions, but we prefer excuses. Last year, we wrote only 42 editions. There was much to do in the remaining ten weeks. There was the Football World Cup, a few time-offs, a couple of vacations, and of course, a lapdog ate our laptops. If these honourable reasons weren't enough, we add another: we wrote a book!Our book Missing in Action: Why You Should Care About Public Policy will be published on 23 January 2023. Like this newsletter, it is a 'pop' public policy book in which we explain concepts through stories rooted in the Indian context. We couldn't have asked for a more helpful and encouraging team than our friends at Penguin India, who got us over the line and in time for a Republic Day release. The book is ready for pre-order now. You will have to excuse us for a bit of promotion that we will do over the next month or so on these pages. So what's the book about? At the heart of the book is our belief in the core objective of public policy. It should increase the welfare of the citizens. Like the verse from Bhagavad Gita goes:अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जनाः पर्युपासते।तेषां नित्याभियुक्तानां योगक्षेमं वहाम्यहम्।।9.22।।That word - Yogakshema - to preserve the prosperity and welfare of citizens is what public policy should be about. We write this newsletter with the hope that it will, in its small way, move the needle on discourse. The book is a logical extension of this hope. Hope, as Andy Dufresne taught us, ‘is a good thing; maybe the best of things'. We are hopeful about the future of India, but not in a misguided nationalistic way. We believe we can make an impact, however small, on the demand side of the policy equation. That making people aware of policy choices and helping them anticipate the unintended will lead to a change in the supply side of politics. There are two preconditions for this to happen, which we assume hold true. One, people have time and mental space available for discussions that matter to their lives. Two, a belief we can arrive at what's good for us through those debates and discussions.In the book, we have taken the citizens as the point of reference and elaborated on their interactions with the state, the market and the society. Think of the book as a primer to understanding the fundamentals that underpin these interactions. We cover why we need a state or the markets, what is the role of society and how the three interplay among them. We go back to the foundational texts on political philosophy and economy in the book to explain the core concepts of public policy but in what we hope is an accessible fashion. We have tried to avoid jargon and approached all topics using first principles. Like the 16th century Bhakti poet, Nabha Dasa, who compiled the life of every saint from time immemorial in Bhaktamala, wrote:"Jaat na puchhie saadhu ki, poochh leejie gyan, mol karo kirpan ka, padi rahne do mian" ("Do not ask for the antecedents of a learned saint. Only seek their wisdom. The true worth is what's within us and not what you see from outside.")We have been ecumenical in our approach in this book.The other thing you might find interesting in the book is our focus on finding examples in the Indian context to illuminate a point or to make a case for our arguments. This will contextualise a lot of the discussions in the book to our immediate environment, and we hope it will make our reasoning clearer to our readers. Further, we have tried to keep ourselves free of dogma in the book. We have strong faith in markets, but we understand their limitations and the critical role of the state and society. We have been open to knowledge from all sources and have challenged our premises and priors before stating our point of view. Lastly, the tone of the book is conversational, and it is filled with some of our usual groan-inducing Bollywood references. Special thanks to all of you for reading us and engaging with us. Without your encouragement, we wouldn't have attempted a book. And now that we have said such good things go buy the book! Truth be told, we are a tad nervous about how the book will be received. We hope you will enjoy reading it and recommending it to others. Show it some love, friends and order it now. ThanksPranay & RSJIndia Policy Watch: How Did I Do On My Predictions For 2022?— RSJ Each year I start with a prediction post. But before I get down to my predictions for 2023 (which I will in the next edition), there's the unfinished business of how I fared on the predictions that I made in 2022. So, here's a look back at the year through the lens of my predictions at the start of the year.Economy - Prediction #1 This is what I wrote:“we will be in the 5-5.5 per cent growth range (if you take the base of FY 21). Inflation (CPI) will be around 5 per cent with an occasional jump to 6 per cent during the year despite threatening to go out of control. Maybe three interest rate hikes (a total of 75 bps) during the year will keep a lid on it. Public markets will moderate a bit (around 10 percent upside).... China won't attract it (foreign capital) as it will continue to go down the path of self-reliance and its notion of an equal society.”Result: No one could see the Ukraine war coming back when I made the predictions. Notwithstanding that, I think I got the growth and the inflation prediction in the ballpark. The war threw the interest hike prediction off totally. Instead of a 75 bps hike over the year, we got a 225 bps increase. I think, on balance, the Indian economy did quite well in 2022, given the headwinds. Domestic consumption was strong; we weathered the peaking of oil and commodity rates quite well, the twin balance sheet problem is now behind us, and by the end of the year, we saw private Capex growing. Not a bad state of affairs. I would have taken this happily at the start of the year. Overall, I'd give a 6/10 on this prediction.Economy - Prediction #2“There won't be much to write about reforms. Some attempts at piecemeal MSP reforms will be attempted to make up for the repealed farm laws. The National Monetisation Pipeline will get going but the progress will be modest. A couple of more disinvestment proposals of PSUs (including banks) will be taken up. But this will be for raising revenues rather than a planned strategy to make PSUs market competitive. The LIC IPO will just go over the line and that will be the big event to showcase reforms.”Result: Got that pretty much spot on. Maybe an 8/10.Politics - Prediction #1 & 2Here's what I wrote:“BJP election machine will continue its winning run barring the odd defeats in Punjab and Goa. The big prize, UP, will be fought hard but BJP will win a safe majority. The bahujan vote of the depleted BSP will shift to it more than to SP and that will make all the difference.”“There will be a split in the Congress. The party in its current form is untenable and beyond a point, there will be nothing to lose for those who split it. The key question is who will lead it - those who have a political base and think Congress leadership is a liability that cannot be carried along any further, or those without a political base but with strong ideological opposition to the BJP. My guess is it will be the latter. In any case, it won't make much of a difference.”Result: Punjab went the way I had guessed. Goa was close. Congress didn't split but it lost senior leaders like Capt. Amarinder Singh and Ghulam Nabi Azad among others. And despite the Bharat Jodo Yatra, which has only been in the news because people cannot believe Rahul Gandhi has sustained it for so long, I don't think Congress improved its election prospects dramatically this year.Society - Prediction #1“Expect love jihad and anti-conversion laws in various states, some kind of population control bill, a revival of CAA and a push for a uniform civil code during the year. There's that early 20th century Europe playbook of stoking demographic anxiety that plays on a threat to the survival of a civilisation or a way of living. The pitch will be queered on this. Indian society is a fertile ground for it. This land can be shown to its people as a palimpsest. But it can, perhaps more easily, be shown as a glorious, ancient civilisation that's been asphyxiated for centuries by ‘outsiders'. A true revival of it requires setting the past records straight and the right demographic arithmetic.”Result: Well, there was the usual noise around a lot of these issues but, thankfully, we had a somewhat muted year on legislating these. This didn't mean that the media mouthpieces and influential voices within and outside the government went slow on stirring the pot on these topics. We have reached a point where turning back on these issues will be difficult. It remains the one faultline that can derail our economic prospects that look surprisingly good at this moment. I will give myself a 7/10 as much as I want to score a zero here.   Society - Prediction #2“Politics is driven by the idea of having an enemy; the other. For much of the last decade, this was the left-liberal cabal (Lutyens, Khan market, NYT, Soros, Amnesty etc). Even when much of news and propaganda came to be dominated by the right-wing, there was a strawman of this all-powerful cabal of anti-nationals that was kept alive because the notion of an enemy is critical. But once you have decimated it, what do you do? You look for the enemy within.”Result: I will be the first to admit that I am still amazed at how this prediction isn't yet true. There are still imaginary left cabals to be fought against. It is a measure of both the enterprise of the propaganda machinery and the gullibility of ordinary voters that we are still drinking up all the kool-aid that we are being served on how anti-India interests are still the ‘establishment' in India and globally. There's still a long way to go before finding the enemy within your camp to fight. I will give a 5/10 on this. Miscellaneous - Prediction #1“There will be serious big tech regulations that will come into play in America. Others will follow suit. India will have a version of this along with dollops of atmanirbharta. This will mean some tough days for big consumer tech giants in India.”Result: Some big tech regulations have come into play in the US, and the collapse of FTX will lead to further clamping down. India came down heavily on Chinese apps and made life difficult for consumer-facing tech giants like Amazon, Meta and Alphabet. I expect this to continue. I guess a 7/10 on here will be about right. Miscellaneous - Prediction #2“China will struggle for growth. Demographics, debt and delusion have come together in China in a way that will make it difficult for it to sustain growth. China-Russia relationship will get stronger with their support for each other and for other authoritarian regimes around the world.”Result: Even without the Ukraine war, I thought this was how it was going to play out. It only became stronger with the war. I think I got a 9/10 there. Miscellaneous - Prediction #3“Meta, Crypto, Decentralisation, NFT (and everything else pumped up by the Valley tech bros) will see their hype abate (about 25-30 percent drop in asset value). When John Terry starts buying Bored Ape NFTs, you know the whole thing has jumped the shark. About time too.”Result: I should have followed my gut more and doubled down on this last year. I could sense a big correction, and a large-ish collapse was in the offing in this space. But I stopped short of calling a mini meltdown in this space. But that's how it turned out by the end of the year. An 8/10 here.So, there we are with how I fared on last year's predictions. I will come back next week with a few specific and somewhat contrarian predictions for 2023. Not(PolicyWTF): Making Education ProfitableThis section looks at surprisingly sane policies- Pranay KotasthaneThe University Grants Commission (UGC) released draft regulations earlier this week, permitting foreign universities to set up Indian campuses. While the draft needs some much-needed improvements, this reform is in the right direction. For the moment, keep the programmatic part of the policy aside. It's the politics of this move that caught my attention.Ritika Chopra in the Indian Express reminds us that the first such attempt was made in 1995. Another one in 2005-06 never made it past the cabinet. Then in 2010, the UPA government brought in another bill. The Foreign Educational Institutions (Regulation of Entry and Operations) Bill, 2010 was introduced in the Lok Sabha, a Standing Committee gave some suggestions, the government sat on it for three years, and it was tabled again in 2013. By 2014, the UPA was voted out, and the bill lapsed.It's interesting to observe how the Overton Window has changed on this issue. The 2010 bill was far less radical than the draft UGC regulations being proposed now. That bill disallowed foreign universities from repatriating any money abroad, it mandated that interested entities have a corpus fund of at least Rs 50 crores, and it allowed only entities that had operated for at least 20 years. Despite these unreasonable restrictions, the Left and the BJP still found the bill too permissive and buried it. The Left had a far greater influence on the matter as it was a part of the ruling coalition. I went back to check the best form of arguments put forward by the Left. True to form, they argued that this bill would encourage “commercialisation” of education. The CPM said it would open the ‘floodgates for weakening and dismantling the public education system in higher education. And India could be atmanirbhar in developing a higher education system; we need no help from anyone. Shouldn't we reflect on how much this ideological opposition cost us? What was the number of people who went ahead to get quality education in other countries, including in risky countries like Ukraine and Kazakhstan? Blocking foreign educational institutes for equity reasons is akin to banning people from eating Sushi just because India still has a large poor population. Forget the fact that a former General Secretary of the CPM is himself an alumnus of a British university. The BJP's objection predictably was that the courses offered could ‘adversely affect the sovereignty and integrity of India'. That insecurity hasn't subsided, and the new draft regulations have an explicit clause forbidding such courses. We can interpret the new draft regulations as an example of the Overton Window stretching on this issue. On some counts, it has extended the boundaries of freedom by allowing people to have more options within India while allowing foreign universities to repatriate money back home. It's a hesitant acknowledgement that profit-making in education is not bad. On the other hand, the Window has also stretched toward “lesser freedom” with clauses banning certain types of courses, effectively implying that non-controversial “technology” universities might receive preference over liberal arts universities. Real-life policymaking is often a search for the second-best option. So I'll take the door left ajar, rather than it remaining closed altogether.HomeWorkReading and listening recommendations on public policy matters* [Podcast] Some predictions for 2023 by the Puliyabaazi team* [Book] Optimally Irrational: Good Reasons Why We Behave The Way We Do is promising.* [Article] Many editions ago, we wrote about the EU ban on chargers, warning that it could come to India as well.

No Manny this week and there's a few close calls. We talk Griner, Tesla and a Worthless of The Week.

This is a special episode for us, in part because we both love this movie. But ... it's also a bit of a send-off for us. We're taking an indefinite hiatus - more on that in the episode. We've loved making this podcast and hope to be back soon, but need a little time off. In this episode, we discuss estate tax issues, whether Andy Dufresne was awful at tax law or maybe a secret genius, and talk about what it feels like to break free of the obligation to work. You don't want to miss this one! IMPORTANT NOTE: We discuss in the episode that inheritances are tax-free to the beneficiary. Caveat we forgot to include: we were talking about federal law. Some states do impose an inheritance tax. If you inherit money, talk to a pro to make sure you pay any appropriate taxes. If you'll miss this podcast, please let us know!

Ryan and David are thinking about House of the Dragon spoilers as they check out the jam-packed catalog for the November 3 - 6 Propstore Entertainment Live Auction in London.  From Roy Batty's Blade Runner trenchcoat to Andy Dufresne's Shawshank Redemption bible, from something from Star Wars to something else from Star Wars, the boys are checking out Day 1 of the auction—all under the incredibly creepy eye of a Christopher Reeve Superman mannequin.

The BTS team discusses the enigmatic character design of Andy Dufresne, the film's vignette story structure, and the devastating one-two punch of Red's narration and Thomas Newman's score.

In this episode, Mario Sikora, TJ Dawe and TJ Ingrassia are joined by special guests, Clay Tumey, author of “The Blue Chip Store: How Bank Robbery Changed My Life,” and Susan Olesek, founder of Enneagram Prison Project. The panel of five discuss the 1994 drama, “The Shawshank Redemption,” starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins. With the film set in a prison, Clay draws from his experience in prison while Susan explores her work with incarcerated people and the Enneagram to not only look at the movie about a man who is wrongfully accused of murder, but to also examine it as a story of a person who's trapped in a personality.“I also thought that with this character captured better than almost anything I've seen about the Fives is the tenderness at the heart of the Type Five. This sweetness, this kindness that most people don't get to see because what they see is the detached piece.” - Mario Sikora [35:36]“There's so much generosity in the Five, and I love that you're highlighting it because I think that's why we love the Five so much.” - Susan Olesek [38:21]“I just didn't buy it from him in terms of feeling like he really meant it. It almost felt like he was more using that as a cover to just have power over people. But that could speak to his unhealthier… That's a way an unhealthy one would use some of that is they don't really believe it for themselves. They just believe it for other people or something.” - TJ Ingrassia [1:01:40]“Captain Hadley, he embodies everything that I appreciate about Type Eight, even when he's beating the hell out of people. The thing that I appreciate is I never have to wonder, almost never have to wonder where I stand with the Type Eight.” - Clay Tumey [1:08:07]“That got me thinking, this movie works as a metaphor for being in any life situation that you believe you're stuck in, and there's a better life somewhere on the horizon. How do I get there? And one of the ways, certainly not the only way, but the Andy Dufresne way, is a little bit at a time.” - TJ Dawe [1:21:46] TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[00:47] Our special guests, Clay Tumey and Susan Olesek[07:26] Why this week's movie: “The Shawshank Redemption”[14:03] About the movie[19:26] Hosts' reactions to the film[21:15] The casting[23:18] Andy Dufresne as Type Five[35:??] Generosity in Type Five[38:29] “If I Didn't Care” by Ink Spots[40:43] Chip's book, “The Blue Chip Store”[44:00] Red's Enneagram Type[49:27] Brooks as Type Nine[50:17] Warden Norton's Enneagram Type[1:02:00] It's about feeling perfect[1:05:15] Captain Hadley as Type Eight[1:11:00] Tommy's Enneagram Type[1:21:04] Why is this movie universally beloved?[1:24:41] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on Demand The Awareness to Action Enneagram PodcastMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comTJ Dawe:Web: tjdawe.caTJ Ingrassia:Web: tjingrassia.comYouTube: @TypeCastSusan Olesek:Web:

This week's Stephen King discussion intersects with our love of true crime. And because our special guest, Kate Jenkins, happens to be a lawyer, we wasted no opportunity to discuss one of our favorite novellas and movies in the realm of an actual murder case. Would Andy Dufresne have actually been convicted of the double murder that sent him to Shawshank State Prison? Could he have ever had his conviction overturned on appeal?Not only that, but we also use this amazing novella and film to discuss how it forces us to reflect on aspects of criminal justice, prisoner rehabilitation and institutionalization, compassion, and what it says about the Judeo-Christian values that shape our society.Okay, also we pick which of our celebrity crushes would be on the poster that covers the tunnel we'd be digging out of our prison cells. Really, we run the full gamut here.Additional Information:Chris's Podcast, 80s High: https://the80shigh.podbean.com/Ear Hustle Podcast -- Stories of prison life: https://www.earhustlesq.com/Shawshank Redemption Movie Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shawshank_RedemptionRita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption Novella Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita_Hayworth_and_Shawshank_RedemptionShow Credits:Artwork: Nathaniel Dickson http://ndickson.comMusic: Spencer Morelock

Join your hosts Bryan Frye, Chad Robinson and Russell Guest for the Retro Movie Roundtable as they revisit The Shawshank Redemption (1994) [R] Genre: Drama, Prison   Starring:  Tim Robbins, Andy Dufresne, Morgan Freeman, Bob Gunton, William Sadler, Clancy Brown, Gil Bellows, Mark Rolston, James Whitmore, Jeffrey DeMunn, Larry Brandenburg, Neil Giuntoli, Brian Libby, David Proval, Joseph Ragno, Jude Ciccolella, Paul McCrane   Director: Frank Darabont Recoded on 2022-05-06

In 1994, producer Frank Darabont teamed up with author Stephen King to create their first prison movie, The Shawshank Redemption. It was based on King's short story, "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," from his book, Different Seasons: Four Novellas. Despite disappointing sales during its time in theaters, the film would become a cult classic. Nearly 30 years later, it's still frequently rerun on TV. In this episode I unpack the links between what we see on TV and what we come to believe about the world. In the case of prison, when we see images of dark spaces with violent characters willing to victimize one another for minimal gains, we naturally come to believe that those scenes are based on something real. We might not believe that prison is that bad, but we still come to believe that it is bad. And the characters themselves also teach us things about prison which cause us to become more supportive of harsh punishments, including the death penalty. Mike Nellis's work, “The Aesthetics of Redemption: Released Prisoners in American Film and Literature,” is available in Theoretical Criminology.

This podcast is for the people that did not have easy childhood. As Morgan Freeman in the movie Shawshank Redemption said while reflecting on Andy Dufresne's prison escape, "He went through a river of mess and came out clean on the other side."And now that we are clean (not dealing with messy people or situations) and are on the other side, let's live our lives to our fullest potential!

Hello everyone.Today I'm joined by my dear friend Tom Morgan for a wide-ranging conversation around finding flow, recognizing resonance, the idea of moloch and slack, prophets and truth in the modern world, embodiment, and connecting mind and heart. Tom is one of my favorite writers and idea synthesizers. You can find his work at the KCP Group and on Twitter.It was a deeply personal conversation because I struggle with a lot of these questions as I'm trying to navigate this new stage of my life. You can tell from the way I wrestled to formulate some of the questions. So, don't hold it against Tom that we spent a lot of time on ideas such as following your curiosity, being vulnerable, and navigating personal crises.I hope you find the conversation as interesting as I did. Tom managed to articulate his mission in life towards the end. So it was definitely worth it.Listen to this episode on: Spotify, Apple, at anchor, via RSS.

No estás a gusto con tu vida. Te diste cuenta de que la vida va más allá del hecho de trabajar para hacer rico a otros. Uno de los mejores guiones cinematográficos del planeta, sino el mejor, es el de la película “The Shawshank Redemption” (Sueño de fuga), donde el protagonista, Andy Dufresne, se da cuenta de que la única forma de salir de la cárcel y enmendar la injusticia que cometieron con él, es cavando un túnel hacia la libertad. Un túnel que le llevó años de trabajo y paciencia. Una vez terminado, tuvo que arrastrarse por litros de mierda, literalmente, para lograr por fin su libertad. Y así es como se consiguen la mayoría de las cosas, chingándole, trazando un plan y siguiéndolo hasta el final, no rindiéndose a la primera cuando se nos presenta un obstáculo. La disciplina comienza con el dominio de tus pensamientos, sino controlas lo que piensas, jamás controlarás lo qué haces. Sino estás dispuesto a arrastrarte por la mierda, entonces no mereces lograr tus metas. En la vida, absolutamente todo tiene un precio y cada uno debe saber si está dispuesto a pagarlo. El valor de las cosas no es lo que cuestan, sino lo que estás dispuesto a pagar por ellas. Lo que tú quieres es más que lo que el pequeño cuarto en el que estás encerrado puede ofrecer, si quieres más, tendrás que estar dispuesto a dar más, a esforzarte más y a llegar hasta el final. Mantén siempre tus pies en la tierra y la mirada en las estrellas. Para construir tu túnel de escape, primero identifica qué te apasiona, traza el plan y decide hasta dónde estás dispuesto a llegar. Y recuerda que la distancia entre un sueño y la realidad se llama DISCIPLINA. Nada es imposible, lo imposible sólo tarda un poco más. Soñar, creer y chingarle. Los chingones somos más.

The fellas get together to recap the best (and worst) of last weekend, and preview the upcoming college games & TNF. Who are the home dawgs this week? Which games ruined LoPo & B-Lang's wallets last weekend? How many times can Andy Dufresne be referenced in a betting podcast? Find out all this, and more on another wild show.
