Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  Happy Holidays month concludes with Eight Crazy Nights, Adam Sandler's laudable attempt to plug the Hanukkah-shaped gap in the holiday movie pantheon. Unfortunately, it's so bad I'd argue a marathon of Salo, Society, Audition, A Serbian Film, and both Nekromantic movies would be a much more pleasant sit. 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 16:46 - Eight Crazy Nights review 57:07 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.  If you'd like to watch it, click here to find where it's streaming or available to rent.

How can we use negative spaces in fiction to engage with readers' imaginations? How are memory and trauma passed onto us through language? How do we become more than the stories we tell ourselves?KATIE KITAMURA (Author, Audition, Intimacies) emphasizes that a book is created in collaboration with the reader, using negative spaces in the narrative structure to allow for reader interpretation, paralleling the space between audience and actor in performance.PAUL LYNCH (Booker Prize-winning Novelist, Prophet Song) discusses the richness and slipperiness of the English language in Ireland, shaped by the overlay of English onto Irish grammatical constructions, resulting in unique phrasing and a capacity to create new constructions.DANIEL PEARLE (Screenwriter, Playwright, The Beast in Me) shares that audiences are fascinated by the unfettered, uncensored ID in characters, reflecting the universal fantasy of acting without consequences. He advises writers to put people who deeply irritate them into a play, as those characters often become the audience's favorites.HALA ALYAN (Novelist, Poet, I'll Tell You When I'm Home: A Memoir) describes her work as an excavation of the darkest hours and intergenerational trauma carried by her lineage, which has endured repeated exile. She links exile from the body to the larger patterns of not having a place in the world.T.C. BOYLE(Novelist, Short Story Writer, Environmentalist) shares that the creative process involves a magic in reaching for the unconscious and the surprise of the creative process. He emphasizes that art and nature are our salvations, over money. He advocates for solitude in nature—alone on a beach or in the woods—to connect with the natural world.ADAM ALTER (Author of Anatomy of a Breakthrough) discusses the axioms of creativity, noting that being around more people, even those who are "deeply incompetent," is generally beneficial for creativity by providing diversity of opinion and information, preceding the necessary time for solitary focus.SHEHAN KARUNATILAKA (Booker Prize-winning Author of The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida) explains his decision to write in the second person as a way of exploring the spiritual dimension of the internal voice. He posits that the "you" could be a spirit whispering thoughts, leading people (and nations) astray.DANIEL HANDLER A.K.A LEMONY SNICKET (Author, A Series of Unfortunate Events) argues that his books for children and adults are not fundamentally different and says everyone's childhood is full of powerful emotions derived from ordinary injustices, noting that we cry hardest over hurt feelings, not global catastrophes.ADA LIMÓN (24th U.S. Poet Laureate, Startlement, The Carrying) talks about her responsibility as a writer to honor her ancestors, specifically her grandfather, who had to sublimate his creative spirit for safety and belonging, leading her to prioritize grace and freedom in her own writing.To hear more from each guest, listen to their full interviews.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

On this episode of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe set up Bears week. With the Browns eliminated from the playoffs, the focus shifts to the future, and that means all eyes are on quarterback Shedeur Sanders. They discuss his four-game audition for the starting job, breaking down his impressive performance against the Titans, the explosiveness he brings to the offense and the critical need for game management and avoiding costly mistakes. They also get into how Sanders will fare against the Bears' turnover-happy defense and how the Browns' own run defense will handle Chicago's top-tier rushing attack after a poor showing against Tennessee. Lance Reisland joins the show to break down the film from the loss to the Titans. Lance offers his perspective on Sanders' growth, toughness and improved processing. He also provides a detailed schematic breakdown of exactly why the run defense struggled. The show wraps up with a “Start-Bench-Cut” segment, debating everything from Hall-of-Fame quarterbacks to Christmas cookies.

Agent Cheri Van Loon from Marilyn's Agency joins Jesse to share real, practical insights about auditions, communication, materials, and what it truly means to take ownership of your acting career.Cheri brings passion, clarity, and zero fluff — she loves this industry and cares deeply about the actors she works with. In this episode, she breaks down exactly what she sees every day inside the audition and submission process.They cover:

Starting with von Békésy's traveling wave and the cochlea's +80 mV biological battery, we move millisecond-by-millisecond through the auditory brainstem response (ABR Waves I–V), auditory nerve, cochlear nucleus, superior olivary complex, inferior colliculus, thalamic reticular nucleus, and finally primary auditory cortex (A1). The Endocochlear Potential (EP) is the highest DC voltage in the human body. As signals travel, excitation-inhibition attempts to balance that. When intact, brains can filter noise and locate meaningful sound. In Autism, reduced GABAergic sculpting (parvalbumin, somatostatin, and VIP interneuron dysfunction) plus lower myelination and a delayed Wave V — already detectable on the newborn hearing screen — turn ordinary environments into an unfiltered flood. The result is listening dissonance: a moment-to-moment perceptual struggle that collapses 40-Hz gamma, recruits massive frontal effort and emotional regions of the brain, frequently ends in sensory overload, shutdown, or literal pain. We close with the exact equation the pathway reveals: Low Inhibition + High Excitation = Sensory Overload.Daylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autismFig Tree Christian Golf Apparel & Accessories, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://figtreegolf.com/?ref=autismCognity AI for Autistic Social Skills, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://thecognity.com0:00 Chroma Light Devices and Daylight Computer Company01:56 Audition & Autism; von Békésy Traveling Wave & Tonotopy; Hair Cells & Cochlear Amplifier04:20 Endocochlear Potential (+80 mV Battery); Bioelectric Currents06:30 Stria Vascularis, Melanin, & Water Role08:15 Auditory Nerve – ABR Wave I (1.6 ms)08:36 ABR Wave II (2.7 ms)09:00 Cochlear Nucleus & Early E:I12:10 ABR Wave III – Superior Olivary Complex (3.8 ms)12:13 Binaural Processing & Calyx of Held15:00 ABR Wave V – Inferior Colliculus (5.6 ms)15:42 Inferior Colliculus Gamma & Cell Types18:00 Thalamus MGN & TRN Noise-Canceling21:30 2021 Newborn ABR Study – Prolonged Wave V Biomarker24:30 Listening Dissonance Explained28:30 Auditory Cortex Gamma Collapse in Autism32:30 Primary Auditory Cortex A1 Mini-Columns36:00 Parvalbumin, Somatostatin & VIP Interneurons39:00 Formula: Low GABA + High Excitation = Overload & PainX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

The very first Voices Rock choir started in Denver in 2014 by a music teacher who heard from her students’ parents and her own  friends that they wished they had some kind of musical outlet. Jill Teas obliged with a small group of adults who met for several weeks, rehearsing popular songs and performing them at local bars. But the no-audition “come one, come all” ethos of the choir quickly spread to other Colorado cities. And after a few years, Teas chose to quit her teaching job to run the Voices Rock organization full time. This year, three Northwest cities began their own Voice Rock chapters: Seattle, Tacoma and Portland.  We hear from the Voices Rock founder about the idea behind the choir — and from two Portland participants, director Caley Barstow and soloist Courtney Upton, about what they get out of it.

BT and Sal dive into the post-Daboll Giants chaos, arguing that the latest loss proves the problem lies with the "talent-free" roster built by Joe Shane, not just the head coach. They stress that the Giants must "bleed out" and keep losing to ensure a complete organizational reset, including firing Shane before he hires another coach and perpetuates the "cycle of sloppiness." Sal demands the "awful" Shane Bowen be fired immediately for the defense's constant fourth-quarter collapses, while BT is intrigued by Mike Kafka's accountability measures despite advocating for an outside hire. The segment concludes with a fiery breakdown of Bo Nickal's knockout win, celebrating his dominance and unexpected "villain" energy, which silenced the critics who deemed him overrated.

In this episode, Sam shares a deeply personal origin story: from little girl in a dance studio to “too short” at a Rockette audition to a decade on some of the most iconic stages. She walks through the unexpected yeses, the devastating no's, and the gritty in-between that built her resilience. It's a masterclass in detachment, trusting your gut, and letting life surprise you. Key Takeaways Be open to detours: the “not in the plan” door might be the right one. Detachment is a skill: celebrate the try, release the outcome. Hard moments become proving grounds—challenge can create your biggest break. Follow the breadcrumbs: if it's aligned, safe, and available… say yes. Your limits aren't literal (height, age, timing); they're invitations to get creative.

BT & Sal ignite a fiery debate over the future of Giants GM Joe Schoen, whose job is reportedly on the line over the final seven games. They call the evaluation process "ass backwards," arguing that the team fired the coach (Brian Daboll) who had the players ready to play, while the GM who built the underperforming defense remains. Sal fears a few meaningless late-season wins against bad teams will create a "false representation" and save Schoen's job, despite a weak overall resume. Later, the conversation shifts to a massive baseball trade hypothetical: Is Pirates ace Paul Skenes, a true "rock star," worth a package that includes promising Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler plus top prospects? They conclude that while Schlittler has potential, the elite, controllable talent of Skenes makes him virtually untradeable.

Join us as we dive into Takashi Miike's cult classic Audition, a chilling fusion of romance and nightmare from 1999. We explore how Miike crafts a deceptively calm setup that unfolds into one of Japanese horror's most infamous knife-edge reveals. We discuss performance masterclass from Ryo Ishibashi and Eihi Shiina, the film's unsettling atmosphere, and its lasting impact on the genre. If you're curious how a slow-burn premise can explode into pure terror, this episode is for you.Where To Watch Audition

Interview Date: May 11th, 2025Houston Ballet soloist Jacquelyn Long traces her path from living-room pliés with her mom (a former pro) to summer intensives, HBII, and the main company. She shares how relationships and coachability shaped her trajectory, why modern/contemporary versatility now matters as much as classical technique, and how social media helps—but shouldn't replace—the messy, vital process. We dig into audition materials, the “right” photos, favorite roles (Sylvia! Cinderella!), life as a working ballerina (weekly schedule, contracts, AGMA, benefits), pointe-shoe realities, nerves and mindset, longevity habits, and her growing passion for choreography.

Before "torture porn" really became a pervasive horror subgenre, we had the shocking, visceral experience of 1999's 'Audition.' Join us as we talk about this psychological thriller that descends into hell (for Shigeharu Aoyama at least) and then be sure to catch us on social media @revengeof90spod and on Substack at https://revengeofthe90s.substack.com

You know that moment in an audition when your scene partner says their line… and you feel pressure to do something? You nod. You blink. You shift your face. You give a tiny “actor reaction” — because silence feels dangerous. Here's a little secret: sometimes, the best reaction… is no reaction at all. Today, we're going to uncover one of the most overlooked audition skills — the ability to listen without performing your listening.This is the subtle art that separates actors who look authentic from actors who look like they're trying to look authentic. Let's talk about it.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Blayne Alexander sits down with Keith Morrison to talk about his episode, The Night of the Audition. In 2014, 25-year-old Shannon Madill disappeared from Calgary, Alberta. The aspiring actress vanished just days after an audition she hoped would lead to her big break. At first, her husband, Josh Burgess, claimed she had left for an acting job, but months later police uncovered the truth: Josh Burgess had killed her. Blayne and Keith discuss the long investigation that led to Burgess's confession. They also talk about Shannon's mother, Lisa, and how she found strength through boxing following her daughter's murder. Plus, they answer viewers' questions.Have a question for Talking Dateline?
