Podcast appearances and mentions of arthur hailey

In 1970, Arthur Hailey’s blockbuster book, Airport, became the first film in that decade’s disaster movie cycle. It also led to three more Airport films, and the adaptation of Zero Hour (also a Hailey story) into Airplane!. This second installment, Airport 1975, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. It straddles the line between big budget, all-star A picture (the original), and implausible 70s schlock, as observed in the final two Airport films. Here, we’re also treated to appearances by classic stars, including Gloria Swanson and Myrna Loy. I am contractually obliged to say that Charlton Heston is the hero. Shelly Brisbin with Micheline Maynard and David J. Loehr.

Brothers J and Eric continue our “Summer of Meh” with the 2005 Michael Bay Sci-Fi movie “The Island.” It's beautiful and it's well acted; however, it brings up interesting ethical questions which it does not answer.   Housekeeping starts at about 36:00 and spends far too long confusing Airport vs Airplane! and Arthur Hailey vs Alex Hailey, then tick through movies they watched in the past few weeks.    File length 1:06:25 File Size 47.9 MB Theme by Jul Big Green via SongFinch Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts Listen to us on Stitcher Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter Send your comments to show@notinacreepyway.com Visit the show website at Not In A Creepy Way

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss Airport, the first of four 1970s films based on the book by Arthur Hailey. Stars Jacqueline Bisset, Helen Hayes, Burt Lancaster and Dean Martin. A disaster movie in the skies, Airport is a bit stiff compared to later entries in the series. The late 1960s fashions are fun to look at, as is the lax airport security by modern standards. Kind of a dud and overlong, Airport fails to start the series on a high note. Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Tokyo Beat Podcast Network.

Igazán meleg, nyarat idéző tavaszi napra keltünk, sok izgalmas témával készülve. Már a napi interjúk előtt szóba került Örkény, Arthur Hailey és A jégmezők lovagja is. Közben, nagyon komoly növekedési tervek vannak az újjáéledő Tungsramnál - Magyar István, a Tungsram csoport igazgatósági tagja mondta el ezeket. Miért veszélyes az azbeszt? Mit tehet az ingatlantulajdonos? Hanvai Zsombor, a Magyar Azbesztmentesítők Szövetsége elnöke mondta el. Kababik József, az Erste Befektetési Zrt. üzletkötője pedig kimazsolázta az izgalmas osztalékpapírokat a magyar tőzsdén.

On this date in 1957, inventor Fred Morrison sold the rights to his flying disc to the Wham-O company. Here are some things you may not have known about the Frisbee. Morrison said the idea came to him while he and his future wife, Lucille, were tossing a cake pan back and forth on a beach in 1938. Another person offered them 25 cents for the pan. As the pan cost just 5 cents, Morrison figured there might be a business opportunity there. Following World War II, Morrison designed a more aerodynamically stable disc he called the Whirlo-Way. In 1948, he and a business partner began selling the discs at fairs and shows. In 1955, he designed a new model, called the Pluto Platter, which is the design he sold to Wham-O. A few months after buying the design, the company decided to change the name to Frisbee, after discovering that’s what college students in the Northeast called the Pluto Platter. The term Frisbee was derived from the Frisbie Pie Company, whose empty pie tins were tossed around the Yale University campus. Morrison described the name as “a horror. Terrible.” In 1964, the Frisbee was redesigned to increase the thickness of the rim, which made it much more controllable. After the redesign, sales of the disc soared. A class of sports was invented using the Frisbee, including Frisbee Golf and Ultimate Frisbee, among others. Although people use the name generically, the name Frisbee remains a trademark of the Wham-O company. The company was known for mailing reminder letters to newspaper writers who didn’t capitalize the name, along with a new Frisbee. The year after Wham-O bought the rights to the Frisbee, they introduced the Hula Hoop. The company introduced the Slip ’N’ Slide in 1961, followed by the Super Ball in 1965. According to Lamar Hunt, the late owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, the Super Ball’s name was the inspiration for the name of the Super Bowl. The company also marketed Silly String, the Hacky Sack and the Boogie Board. Our question: What type of action stabilizes a Frisbee in flight? Today is World Freedom Day in Taiwan and South Korea, and Bounty Day in the Pitcairn Islands. It’s unofficially National Pie Day, Measure Your Feet Day, and National Handwriting Day. It’s the birthday of U.S. Founding Father John Hancock, who was born in 1737; painter Edouard Manet, who was born in 1832; and Princess Caroline of Monaco, who turns 60. Because our topic happened before 1960, we’ll spin the wheel to pick a year at random. This week in 1972, the top song in the U.S. was “American Pie” by Don McLean. The No. 1 movie was “The Cowboys,” while the novel “Wheels” by Arthur Hailey topped the New York Times Bestsellers list. Weekly question: In the song “American Pie,” who is referred to as “The Jester”? Submit your answer at triviapeople.com/test and we’ll add the name of the person with the first correct answer to our winner’s wall … at triviapeople.com. We'll have the correct answer on Friday’s episode. Links Follow us on Twitter, Facebook or our website.

Recommended by major dude and friend of the show Tom Keiser, it's time for J and Collision to endure the long lines and longer speeches of... Airport, Arthur Hailey's 1968 ode to MEN and their DECISIONS and their FEELINGS. You need to know, though: this ain't the summer of love.  Also, you can pack your bags and you can leave tonight, but this book ain't exactly your ticket to paradise, people.  Grab a tiny bottle of dad's medicine, find your most comfortable pair of travelling shoes, and join us where the departures meet the arrivals.
