Emmanuel Emegha is not just moving to Chelsea; he's walking a tightrope between hero and villain. This episode dives into the dramatic story of the Strasbourg captain whose dream Premier League move ignited a ferocious backlash from the fans who once adored him. We break down the unique playing style of “le géant élégant”—a towering 6'5" striker with the feet of a winger—and analyze his phenomenal 23 goals and 9 assists in Ligue 1 What makes Emegha a complete package, and why did Chelsea pay a premium for a player who will be vilified until his final minute in France?

Bahnwelt TV - Videopodcast für Eisenbahn- und Modellbahnfreunde
Erleben Sie den Dreikuppler bei seinem vorerst letzten Einsatz zwischen Quedlinburg, Gernrode, Alexisbad, Stiege und Hasselfelde im Sommer 2024! Ein Saisonhöhepunkt war der gemeinsame Einsatz mit der DEV-Museumslok „Hoya“ zum 125. Jubiläum der Harzquer- und Brockenbahn.
And then there was one. Here is our long built up review of Ballerina: From The World of John Wick. Starring Ana DeArmas and directed by Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard) it would seem the franchise was going to be sent to other hands for its first of at least a few planned spinoffs. However, that was not to be. Rumored bad dailies caused producers to get cold feet with their oncoming director and unproven female action star. So, they called in the cavalry. Enter Chad Stahelski, Keanu Reeves, and Angelica Huston. With lots and lots of new footage supposedly shot by Stahelski, we once again had a glued together with popsicle sticks version of a spinoff. But is Ballerina a subject of bad press? Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they dissect the film and its many rumored behind the scenes problems, as well as determine if it's better than it's at the time of its release bad reputation. Also, stay tuned to find out what the co-hosts are doing next.

Davit Karapetyan, Director of The School of Philadelphia Ballet, joins us to talk about how the school is structured and how dancers move through its levels, from the pre-professional program to PBII and beyond. He explains how auditions are evaluated, what adjudicators look for, and the common mistakes dancers should avoid. We also dig into how scholarships are awarded and renewed, the housing available to students, and what families should consider when deciding if it is time to move to a company-affiliated school. Karapetyan discusses the realities of career planning at the postgraduate level, how many dancers transition into PBII and the main company, and the skills students need both inside and outside the studio before leaving home for residential training. Finally, he shares his perspective on navigating the financial realities of ballet, managing expectations in a competitive field, and what he wishes young dancers and parents better understood about the path to a professional career.

Three films in, neither John Wick or its portrayer Keanu Reeves showed any signs of slowing down. Yet, in the lead up to the 2023 release of John Wick Chapter 4, all producers and Reeves could talk about is the fact that this was going to be the last one. But, massive success followed. As did a Peacock prequel, and next week's film Ballerina. We'll talk about those in the next week. For now, we'll dissect the near three hour third sequel, which was once again helmed by Chad Stahelski. Next week, a review of this year's Ballerina, as well as a preview of what we're covering next!
In episode 18 of (Pop) Cultural Marxism, Isi and Ajay spend some time with a handful of big news items at the intersection of politics and media—from the Skydance-Paramount merger (and other instances of media market concentration) and its implications for American newsmedia (and its potential new gatekeepers); to Charlie Kirk's assassination, its aftermath, its mediations with mass cultural objects (like alleged HellDivers II bullet etchings or Nepalese protestors with One Piece flags); the culture industry's failure to perform even its therapeutic function; and the growing exclusivity of once-accessible arts venues and performance spaces! A wide ranging discussion of summer media diets follows, beginning with Isi's recent love affair with the Western genre. The two discuss their shared fondness for Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone's many collaborations and the unmatched brilliance of HBO's Deadwood. Turning to the world of gaming, Ajay considers tragic endings (Expedition 33, the Death Stranding franchise), slow gaming (Herdling), and the relationship between gaming and choreography (Split Fiction). Also under consideration: what Joe Wright's miniseries, Mussolini: Son of the Century, gets right about the fascist imaginary; what Len Wiseman's Ballerina gets wrong about the appeal of John Wick; and what Foundation and The Sandman suggest about the challenges of adaptation and the culture industry's recent predilection for a 21st century spin on classical tragedy. Along the way, they return repeatedly to a longstanding PCM preoccupation with medium-specificity as well as the general bleakness seeping into the cultural reflections of this historical moment.

Deanna Seay, Training Coordinator at the School of Richmond Ballet, joins us to talk about how dancers move through the school, from early training to the pre-professional program, trainee level, and second company. She explains what adjudicators look for in auditions (and common mistakes), how scholarships work at different levels, and why not all of Richmond Ballet's trainees come from full-time training backgrounds. We also cover when families should consider a company-affiliated school, the culture Richmond Ballet aims to foster, and how students are prepared for both company life and a sustainable professional career.

On this episode of Wednesdays with Wheels, I sit down with my good friend Ellie Price, a professional ballerina in Iowa. We talk about how she first discovered ballet, her experiences working with a ballet company, and the inspiring journey that has shaped her career on and off the stage.
She's a world-famous ballerina, a bestselling author, and a history-maker as the first Black woman Principal Dancer at American Ballet Theatre—but Misty Copeland just told me she's… clumsy. And yet, that didn't stop her from becoming great. Listen to this episode and come and get some of this Black girl magic!In this episode of BACKtalk, Misty opens up about her new children's book Bunheads, Act 2: The Dance of Courage, how she's raising brave kids, and what it really means to shine—even when life knocks you out of the spotlight. From stage to motherhood, Misty gets real about resilience, girl power, and how to keep dreaming through disappointment.If you've ever had to tell your child, “This isn't your time to shine,” this conversation will speak to your soul.#MistyCopeland #DanceOfCourage #BlackGirlMagic #RepresentationMatters #BunheadsBook #BlackMomsRaisingLegends #ParentingThroughDisappointment #BraveGirls #BacktalkPodcast #BlackExcellence #BlackParenting #GirlPower #BalletForEveryone #ResilientKids #BooksForBlackChildren #MistyCopelandInterview #RaisingCourageousKids #BlackAuthorsMatter #BalletStories #DreamBigLittleOne

Antonio Veneziani"Il tempio dell'anima"Il Simbolo EdizioniPubblichiamo la recensione di Giorgio Ghiotti, pubblicata su VallecchiPoesia.https://vallecchipoesia.it/content/antonio-veneziani-il-tempio-dellanima-il-simbolo-2025E' una nostizia da festeggiare ogni volta che esce un nuovo libro di un vero poeta, specialmente quando, come nel caso di Antonio Veneziani, sono passati anni dal suo ultimo lavoro. L'autore del memorabile esordio Brown Sugar del '79 ha affidato alle lodevoli edizioni Il Simbolo di Maurizio Gregorini il suo ritorno in volume con Il tempio dell'anima. Ritorno importante, atteso, per chi nel tempo ha seguito di Veneziani il percorso, fatto di fedeltà alla sua ispirazione, di coerenza e – tratto sempre più raro oggi – di assoluta libertà, difesa e pretesa anche a scapito di facili posizionamenti. Se nelle raccolte precedenti il poeta ci aveva abituati a scene di sollecito amore, di notturni incontri e esperienze del corpo, sempre restituendo nei suoi versi una città fantasmatica e miserabile non estranea a ingenti dosi di tenerezza e commozione, ne Il tempio dell'anima qualcosa è mutato. Verrebbe da dire che, smessi in parte i panni del flaneur urbano dedito alla perlustrazione di lungoteveri e interni domestici carichi di segreti (splendido esempio ne sono due raccolte precedenti: Tatuaggio profondo e Canzonette stradaiole), Antonio Veneziani recupera qui un paesaggio interiore mai pacificato – impossibile per chi, come lui, vive il mondo in percentuali altissime: “sono fuori posto, fuori luogo. / È pericoloso vivere” –, ma certamente accolto e compreso in un ragionare che non è mai stato tanto cristallino, serenamente inquieto, quasi direi metafisico. Veneziani non ha paura di parlare dalla vecchiaia, come chi ancora si indigna e s'innamora, magari di un gattino “sgarrupato” salvato dalla tempesta (“Troverò una tasca, / la inventerò se occorre”), ma forse per la prima volta si intrattiene a pensare anche ai cieli, a una divinità che, pur nella non consona e addomesticata forma delle religioni, sappia farsi – come scritto con ottima intuizione da Gregorini nella nota introduttiva – culla di un infinito cui la parola e quella poetica ancor di più anela. Poesie di grande temperatura emotiva si susseguono lungo le pagine, così che ogni testo, ricomposto all'interno del disegno d'insieme, vada a comporre una tessitura di irresistibile fascino, in grado di restituire non soltanto la storia di una poesia (e quella di Veneziani è una tra le migliori che abbiamo, suo merito e nostra fortuna), ma la storia di un'anima. Anima, ben inteso, che sa farsi biografia, anima mai slegata dalla materia reale della vita. Un'anima, quella di Veneziani, celeste e terrestre insieme. C'è una sapienza in questa raccolta che non appartiene a saggi e antichi dei; è la sapienza dei balocchi, degli autodidatti della vita, dei poeti. Antonio Veneziani non rivela dall'alto per meravigliare i lettori, ma prova meraviglia nel rivelarsi. Non consiglia, non indica, si tiene ben lontano da una poesia di precetto, perché si sente lui per primo in continuo rodaggio (e qui penso a Caproni che s'ammoniva: “resta ancora tutto da dimostrare”). Così le tre sezioni centrali dell'opera (Barbaglio di amor senile, Frammenti di diario e La storia si ripete) possono leggersi davvero come un consuntivo appassionato senza mai alcuna sbavatura di un'intera vita: Grazie della premura, grazie dei consigli.Ma voi, voi non siete nel vortice chemi attraversa, né dentro i tagliche mi procuro per tangere il sanguedel mio declino. Credetemi è raccapricciante,e c'è di più, scrivo preghiere nelle pietree poi, nell'opacità della notte, le buttonel fiume. O ancora: La mia vitaè presto raccontata:anni vissuti a zonzo, droghe smodate,labbra troppo altere per divine invocazioni.Perso in meandri etilicivolevo assoggettare il cielo.Imbecille cancellavo calendariper depistare la morte. Orariottoso scanso i vecchi selciati. Merito di questo lavoro editoriale, l'aver posto ad apertura e chiusura del libro il recupero di lavori oramai introvabili dell'autore: dalle poesie di A Gerusalemme e Talismani al poemetto Shalom, in cui si fanno i conti, senza che mai tornino appieno e sempre in affanno com'è giusto di un'anima in cammino, con le proprie radici ebraiche. Lo stile di Antonio Veneziani è unico nel panorama contemporaneo, irretisce e libera, apre ferite e le rimargina ma mai del tutto. C'è nella sua poesia, ancora una volta, un senso di insofferenza e di pietas, una postura etica e civile mai di posa, innata nell'occhio che, osservando e registrando il mondo da una posizione liminare, riattiva e colma un ripostiglio segreto che è in ciascuno di noi, facendoci ricordare la nostra riposta e forse dimenticata riserva di umanità. Di questo noi suoi affezionati lettori gli saremo grati a lungo. Mi si permetta di spendere ancora qualche riga per rimarcare il lavoro dell'editore Il Simbolo, che a poco più di un anno dalla sua nascita tanto sta facendo nella cura attenta e rigorosa delle sue uscite, tra le quali spicca un prezioso e imprescindibile volume delle poesie di Elsa De Giorgi (L'eternità nel gelo dell'alba). Una casa editrice che intenda primariamente il lavoro editoriale come lavoro culturale non è poca cosa, oggi. Nel cuore di Roma, là dove un'altra benemerita casa editrice, Empirìa, è andata dagli anni Ottanta promuovendo una vera cultura poetica (e tanto questa nuova esperienza ricorda, per valore, quella di via Baccina), Il Simbolo è una piccola roccaforte di bellezza, a partire dall'eleganza delle copertine, e di coraggio. Antonio Veneziani, Maria Concetta Borgese"Piedi nudi e parole crude"Edizioni MedartLa parola è quella di Antonio Veneziani, poeta vibrante capace di trasformare in poesia ogni pensiero, ogni piccola azione, meditazione, ricordo.Parte dalla parola, ma si trasforma in danza e in musica e in un significato che amplia il respiro della poesia e diventa un'unica zolla; una terra splendente e feconda.“Ballerina, sii gentile, svelaci i segreti del ruscello;mostra, insieme all'erba alta, i muscoli della brezza.Vorrei andarmene ma mani di seta mi trattengono.Ero ladro e assassino, un tempo, ora son sasso.”Dialoga con la danzatrice, il poeta. Dialoga sapendo di trovare risposte. Anche lontane e indecifrabili, ma tènere e capaci di tenere a bada l'inquietudine.Scritte per Maria Concetta Borgese, che le coreografa e le interpreta, queste poesie aiutano il percorso di noi umani. Lo aiutano mostrandoci fili di invisibile, fiducia e generosità dimenticate.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Much to Matt's delight, it's to start diving into the neon colored world of John Wick. A movie that for all intents and purposes, (an unproven set of directors, a star who had done a string of bombs, a ‘wrote' script) had no business being a hit. But $86 million in box office revenue later, Summit Entertainment had a bona fide hit. And franchise. Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they start their dive into the John Wick franchise, as well as give their anticipatory thoughts on Ballerina, the movie this retrospective is going to end on.

Cupcake's favorite action filmmakers 87North (David Leitch and Kelly McCormack's production company) return with “Nobody 2” starring Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielson, Sharon Stone, RZA, John Ortiz, Christopher Lloyd, and Daniel Bernhardt. 87North might be having the same kind of year as BlumHouse with lackluster audience reception to previous releases Love Hurts and Ballerina. Will this action comedy sequel directed by Indo-Asian action filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto in his US debut break the bad streak? And what will WillDaBeast and Cupcake think about this second go around with Hutch and his family vacation ruined by a run-in with a female girl-boss gangster? You'll be surprised who gives this one a “skip” (!)Meanwhile: Mike pluses his live concert experience with LCD Soundsystem (guess what? DAFT PUNK IS PLAYING AT MY HOUSE!!!) while Jose sings the praises of a previous underrated, unsung, gonzo Netflix original - 87North production: “Kate” starring Mary Elisabeth Winstead and Woody Harrelson (thinks “D.O.A.” meets “Atomic Blonde”).
