Pack your sarongs and sunscreen, hunty—Queer Money is headed to Thailand!

Diving into the differences between East & West, Greg and Ed discuss two famous cemeteries in Bangkok. Ed takes the Teochiew Chinese Cemetery off of Sathorn Road, and Greg talks about the Protestant Cemetery in the Baan Mai neighborhood not too far from Asiatique on Charoen Krung Road. Ed begins by explaining that Thai Buddhists in general practice cremation, and since most Thais are Buddhists, ‘cemeteries' in general are not really a Thai thing. However, multiple minorities throughout Thai history do bury their dead, so cemeteries exist for Christians, Muslims, and some Chinese communities.  Ed starts off by discussing his visit to the famous Chinese cemetery roughly in between the Saphan Taksin and St. Louis BTS stations just off of Sathron Road. The cemetery traditionally catered to the Teochiew Chinese minority of which many immigrants to Thailand have been a member of and is more than 100 years old. Further, the cemetery has been made into a legitimate public park, creating an eclectic experience. It features many of the benefits of a park, such as exercise options and open public spaces, but also multiple religious monuments and a significant set of very old tombs, in the midst of a rather dense jungle. It somehow manages to be welcoming and foreboding at the same time. See the pictures below for examples.  Taking a cue from a blog post he wrote several years ago about his visit, he notes that the Protestant Cemetery is more of a traditional Western Christian cemetery and does not function as a park. Its main appeal is its historic value, housing the remains of countless early expats to Siam in the 19th Century. As proud expats themselves (who even have a podcast on the subject!), the guys muse about what it must have been like to be one of the truly earliest Westerners in pre-modern Siam.  Both cemeteries offer fascinating glimpses into unique immigrant communities that have played a role in Thai history.  Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks. We also sometimes post on Facebook, you can contact us on LINE and of course, head to our website (www.bangkokpodcast.com) to find out probably more info than you need to know.

Thailand is known for its rich cultural history and religious practice, particularly surrounding Buddhism. But during the early 20th-century, one monk would emerge and gain infamy in Bangkok, using his knowledge of black magic, love potions, and religious customs to gain followers, ensnare victims, and uproot the very traditions that formed the basis of his faith; himself becoming the folk legend known as Iron-Chest Boonpeng.

Why are so many chasing $10M exits when $3-4M plus a paid-off house might be the real freedom number? Should you be betting big on Bitcoin in 2025, and did we miss out on a massive opportunity 9 years ago? And if you're “unemployable,” is that a badge of honor... or a red flag? This week, Dan and Ian crack open the reality behind location-independent entrepreneurship: from sipping wine in Europe (and still gaining weight) to navigating whether your side hustle cash flow can really replace that W-2 paycheck.

Jerry wonders how the volleyball girls on TV right now can afford to get to Bangkok. Jerry Jones was on Good Morning America talking about being a great salesman. Al Dukes is not happy with commercials on Red Zone this season. The Yankees lost in Houston and the home plate umpire was brutal. Helsley talked about his recent performances not being so great.

The Mets took 2-of-3 in Detroit but left with a bad taste in their mouth with another bad bullpen performance by Helsley. This is what happens when starting pitching can't go five innings. They may ask Kodai Senga to go to the minors for a few starts but he would have to approve that. We also talked more about what type of Long Island crowd we're going to get at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. A guy calls in who has a business where he collects golf balls at Bethpage at night. Jerry returns for an update, but first he wonders how the volleyball girls on TV right now can afford to get to Bangkok. Jerry Jones was on Good Morning America talking about being a great salesman. Al Dukes is not happy with commercials on Red Zone this season. The Yankees lost in Houston and the home plate umpire was brutal. Helsley talked about his recent performances not being so great. In the final segment of the hour, Gio tells the tragic story of someone local who passed away.

Hour 1 We get NFL football tonight as the Cowboys play the Eagles. The Giants open with Washington and then play the Cowboys and Gio said they have to win one of those games as they can't start the season 0-2 with two losses in the division. The NFC East could be a top division if the Giants figure out how to get some wins. We wondered how soon Brian Daboll would try to get Jaxson Dart into games. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with a preview of Cowboys/Eagles. Jerry is doing the game on radio with Brian Baldinger, who's in the NFL's ‘mangled hand' club. The Yankees lost in Houston as Devin Williams walked in a run and Doval balked in a run and then threw a wild pitch that brought in a run. Helsley had another rough outing in relief as the Mets lost to the Tigers. Pablo Torre talked about uncovering the Kawhi Leonard situation with the Clippers and circumventing the salary cap. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the Ryder Cup which starts later this month at Bethpage Black. Hour 2 The Mets took 2-of-3 in Detroit but left with a bad taste in their mouth with another bad bullpen performance by Helsley. This is what happens when starting pitching can't go five innings. They may ask Kodai Senga to go to the minors for a few starts but he would have to approve that.

In the final segment of the hour, Gio tells the tragic story of someone local who passed away. Hour 3 Al Dukes did a poll asking if you can watch an NFL game without betting on it, having a drink of alcohol during it or scrolling on your phone. We also talked more about the Red Zone channel having commercials and how much playing time is in an actual NFL game. Dan in Carteret calls about Boomer breaking Imus' record this coming March and Jazz Chisholm predicting a Yankees World Series win. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the called third strike on Jazz that ended the game. He was not happy with the call. The home plate ump had a rough night. The Mets had a rough day in Detroit, especially Helsley in relief. Russell Wilson said mindset is everything for the Giants. Boomer said the Commanders should run right at Abdul Carter to see if he can run-defend. Roger Goodell was on the Today Show and said it's a ‘maybe' as far as Taylor Swift playing at the Super Bowl. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer is getting a lot of requests for interviews now that football season is upon us. Hour 4 Is Andrew Thomas going to play for the Giants this Sunday against the Commanders? We also talked about the season ending injury to Alijah Vera-Tucker of the Jets. Both teams tried to build up their offensive lines. Boomer tells a story about teaching kids in Italy how to play football back in the late 80's. Jerry returns for his final update of the day, but first Boomer told us how difficult it was to shower in Italy in 1987. On PTI, Tony Kornheiser compared Nolan McLean to Tom Seaver, just like Boomer did. The Yankees lost in Houston as Devin Williams walked in a run. The home plate ump had a rough night and Williams paid the price. There are already tailgaters in Philadelphia for tonight's opening NFL game. Jerry is doing the game tonight on the radio. The Moment of The Day: Mark Chernoff's long lost daughter. In the final segment of the show, we gave our pick for tonight's Cowboys/Eagles game.

Greg and Ed discuss a much neglected topic in Bangkok expat life: how to survive as someone who doesn't drink alcohol. Everyone knows that Bangkok has an epic nightlife, but much of that experience revolves around alcohol consumption. The guys discuss the option of going to the usual places and merely opting out of drink, but they also admit that for some people that is socially awkward and can put a damper on the evening. So what about events that themselves are not based around alcohol? Well, both guys offer multiple suggestions. First, sports activities that are social by nature but NOT directly tied to booze. Popular options today are padel and pickle ball. Second, the broader wellness community that includes yoga, meditation, and cold plunges offer great opportunities to meet people and not drink. Third, the guys recommend other hobbies that while they may not ban alcohol, they are not centered around it. Chess, board games, and martial arts all come to mind.  Another option is to focus on the community of expats that are into Thai history and culture, such as those involved in the Siam Society and the National Museum. While social gatherings may include cocktail options, opting out is much easier among that crew. Greg and Ed fully support the avoidance of alcohol - it's obviously not healthy and peer pressure itself is toxic. The good news is that Bangkok is big and diverse enough that there are plenty of options out there for those willing to check out new things.  Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

Randy Quaid in 2010 asserted that a clandestine clique within Hollywood—a cabal composed of industry figures such as lawyers, estate planners, accountants, even critics—had systematically targeted and sabotaged certain actors by manufacturing scandals or orchestrating tragic, mysterious deaths. According to Quaid, this group was responsible for the deaths of David Carradine and Heath Ledger—citing Carradine's death in Bangkok, which was ruled accidental, and Ledger's overdose in New York—as examples of the so-called “Star Whackers” at work.Help us buy a camera:https://ko-fi.com/monsterfuzzSupport the pod:www.patreon.com/monsterfuzz Check out our merch:https://monster-fuzz.creator-spring.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/monster-fuzz--4349429/support.

Thailand's Constitutional Court has removed the prime minister, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, over her handling of a border dispute with Cambodia.

De Kronkel in Nijmegen, sinds 1986, is één van de oudste en beste coffeeshops van het Zuiden. Oprichter Gilbert Esmeijer kan bogen op ruim veertig jaar ervaring in cannabisland, zijn jaren als huisdealer van het legendarische café Extase meegeteld. Hij heeft uitgesproken ideeën en steekt die niet onder stoelen of banken. Samen bespreken we het cannabis nieuws van de afgelopen weken, o.a. de VOC campagne Wat is Nederhasj?, een B2B bijeenkomst van het Marokkaanse cannabisagentschap ANRAC in Amsterdam, realiteitskater in Duitsland, de beperkte legalisering in Tsjechië per 1 januari 2026 en de softe rollback in Thailand. Gilbert vertelt het verhaal van De Kronkel, de mooie en lelijke kanten: stigmatisering, geweld en tegenwerking. Hij legt uit waarom hij de wietproef eerder “een gedrocht” noemde maar er toch blij mee is. En hij waarschuwt voor het risico dat venture capitalists vormen voor onze cannabiscultuur.

En Thaïlande, près d'un mois après l'entrée en vigueur du cessez-le-feu avec le Cambodge, les affrontements se sont calmés dans les zones frontalières. Fin juillet, après deux mois de tension, un très ancien différent frontalier avait été ravivé durant cinq jours, faisant au moins 36 morts et 300 000 déplacés. Malgré la fin des combats armés, les habitants des provinces frontalières de Sisaket et Ubon Ratchathani, à quelques dizaines de kilomètres du Cambodge, sont encore loin d'être rassurés. De notre correspondante de retour de Sisaket et Ubon Ratchathani, Des étagères calcinées, des gels douches à moitié fondus, des bris de verres qui tapissent le sol… Il ne reste presque rien du 7-Eleven de la station service de Ban Phue, frappé le 24 juillet 2025 par des roquettes attribuées au Cambodge. Bilan : huit morts, dont plusieurs enfants, et 19 blessés. Jeab, femme de ménage dans la station, n'entend plus de l'oreille gauche : « L'explosion a été si forte que mon corps est resté engourdi, je n'entendais plus rien. Et maintenant, même quand j'entends le tonnerre, je pars me cacher. » Des passants viennent déposer des fleurs et des amulettes bouddhistes en hommage aux victimes, et les boutiques restent fermées. Jeab, elle, vient de reprendre son travail ici : « J'ai peur que ça recommence. Mais je dois travailler. Sinon, je ne vois pas de quoi je vais vivre. » Sa patronne, Auan, doute du cessez-le-feu. Elle parle des trois soldats thaïlandais blessés au début du mois d'août, d'après l'armée, par des mines cambodgiennes. Elle est inquiète pour l'avenir du magasin : « L'assurance ? On ne sait même pas si elle nous aidera. Ils disent que ça ne rentre peut-être pas dans les cas couverts. Les pertes dépassent déjà quinze millions de bahts [461 000 euros]. Deux millions [61 000 euros] de marchandises sont parties en fumée et près d'un million [30 000 euros] en liquide. » À lire aussiCambodge-Thaïlande : « Il y a une méfiance très grande entre les deux pays » « La peur est toujours là » Dans la province voisine, à quelques kilomètres de la frontière cambodgienne, le marché de Nam Yuen a rouvert, mais trop peu de clients sont là, d'après cette vendeuse de légumes : « Chez les clients, la peur est toujours là… Certains avaient évacués, sont revenus puis repartent car la situation n'est pas stable. » À côté de son étal, des militaires en treillis font leurs courses. La vendeuse n'en avait jamais vu autant patrouiller dans la zone : « La dernière fois, en 2011, le conflit ne s'était pas rapproché autant. Mais cette fois, c'est tout près. » Plus loin, dans le hameau de Bang Na, des adolescents volontaires réparent les toitures et les façades. Quatre maisons ont été détruites et une vingtaine d'autres touchées par des éclats d'artillerie. Paeng et sa famille sont relogés dans des préfabriqués du gouvernement. « ​​​​​​​Le gouvernement dit qu'il reconstruira en moins de deux mois. C'est déjà bien qu'ils nous aident, ça redonne un peu de courage », salue Paeng.  En regardant son terrain, désormais vide, il retient ses larmes : «​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Je suis triste… J'ai du mal à trouver les mots… Tout est allé si vite… Ici, c'est correct, mais ce n'est pas notre maison. On vit à plusieurs dans une même pièce ​​​​​​​: mon père malade, couché au lit, et une mère âgée à m'occuper. On vit dans du provisoire, avec des tuyaux raccordés à la va-vite. » Comme beaucoup, Paeng espère que la trêve va durer. Lors de leurs dernières réunions, la Thaïlande et le Cambodge ont dit tout faire pour, mais les relations entre les deux pays restent dégradées.

What's it really like to live in Bangkok for over a decade? In this podcast episode, I sit down with journalist Matt Hunt, who has spent 10 years in Thailand navigating the highs and lows of expat life. We dive deep into the truth about visas, cost of living in Bangkok, Thai politics, addiction recovery, and the cultural nuances most foreigners never understand. If you're curious about moving to Thailand, this conversation reveals a side of Thailand that social media doesn't show you.

Some people chase clout. Scott Eddy collects humans—and turns conversations into careers. He's the guy who can turn a DM into a deal, a walkthrough video into a booking, and a dinner into a decade-long partnership. He doesn't posture. He shows up. Early. Today, I'm joined by Scott—hard to label by design. A Wall Street closer who hates the word "expert." A self-proclaimed non-golfer in a loud shirt who lives in airports, hotels, and on cruise ships. An early Twitter force who became a breaking-news signal from Bangkok…and then built one of Asia's first hotel-focused digital agencies before most brands could spell "SEO." Scott's story pivots on a single, life-bending moment. He grew up destined for the police academy—until his father was killed in the line of duty weeks before graduation. A decade in finance followed, a firm sale cracked the door open, and a one-way ticket to Thailand blew it off the hinges. Eleven years later, with friendships stitched across Asia, he'd learned the playbook most Western brands skip: brand building starts with humility, and trust is earned at dinner tables, not in boardrooms. Back in the States, Scott doubled down on what actually moves the needle: reply to every comment, post consistently without trend-chasing, flip OTA guests to direct, and treat service—not tech—as the last true luxury. If you run an independent property or lead a hospitality team, this is a masterclass in building gravity one honest interaction at a time. In our conversation, Whether you're building a boutique brand, leading a marketing team, or just love a good "how did they pull that off?" arc, this episode will reframe how you think about social, service, and the business of being unmistakably human. ‍ Connect with or follow Scott ‍ Behind the Stays is brought to you by Journey — a first-of-its-kind loyalty program that brings together an alliance of the world's top independently owned and operated stays and allows travelers to earn points and perks on boutique hotels, vacation rentals, treehouses, ski chalets, glamping experiences and so much more.

Antes de la aerolínea de bandera de la República Polular de China, se creó una compañía privada en la República de China (Taiwán) con nombre de Air China. Aparte de servir de manera civil (correo, pasajeros) algunos aviones fueron equipados con dispositivos de alta tecnología para misiones poco claras en el sudeste asiático, aprovechando contratos convencionales con Saigón y Bangkok. Estos bimotores volaban regularmente en rutas sin carga ni pasajeros, y demasiadas veces debían desviarse a zonas de conflicto con las que en teoría no estaba involucrados.

« Dans mon Chinatown », c'est une série d'été de RFI qui vous emmène dans les quartiers chinois des grandes villes du monde sur tous les continents. Aujourd'hui, direction le Chinatown de Bangkok où les vieilles échoppes familiales, ateliers de métaux, bijouteries, témoignent encore du passage de générations de migrants chinois. Le quartier conserve son charme vivant, mais accueille aussi de nouvelles adresses branchées qui attirent, et donc se gentrifie. Au grand dam de certains vieux commerces qui peinent à s'adapter.

Greg and Ed discuss the pros and cons of Lumphini and Benjakitti parks in central Bangkok, and best of all - you get to vote for your favorite by clicking here!  The boys begin almost with a disclaimer:  both parks are genuinely awesome, and there's no way to definitely declare one park obviously superior to another.  Nevertheless, each has its strengths and weaknesses. Lumphini is the classic ‘Central Park' of Thailand and has had more than 100 years to mature and develop a large group of dedicated visitors.  It is landscaped and manicured in a more traditional way, and in some respects might mirror a kind of ‘international standard' for parks.  It is excellent for walkers and joggers, but not so much for bikers who are limited by restrictive hours.  There are facilities for other types of exercise, but those facilities are probably insufficient for the massive number of the park's visitors. Benjakitti on the other hand is newer and larger and has much better options for a variety of sports, including pickle ball, basketball, badminton and table tennis.  It's also much friendlier to cyclists, who have dedicated lanes through much of the park.  But Benjakitti is much less manicured throughout much of its spaces, representing the ‘forest' (or sometimes ‘jungle') in its name, as it's intended to represent a genuine biological ecosystem.  Essentially, it's less ‘tamed.'   Both parks provide excellent opportunities for general walking and jogging and of course photography.  Both parks MUST be on the list of repeat tourists and expats.  Vote for YOUR favorite park here! Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks. We also sometimes post on Facebook, you can contact us on LINE and of course, head to our website (www.bangkokpodcast.com) to find out probably more info than you need to know.

Pop culture/Memoir/autobiography This NEW EDITION contains updates, new information, additional photographs and contributions. This is a significant and very personal book. Dr. Drew Pinsky: "I commend you for having the courage to step up and do it and do it thoroughly and do it properly. I think that's a very good thing." David Carradine, The Eye Of My Tornado has been inducted into the Johnny Grant Hollywood Walk of Fame Library “…it was one long rollercoaster thrill… Mr. Toad's wild ride…intense passion and emotion. He was the eye of my tornado.” Marina Anderson. Marina Anderson was just starting out taking acting lessons at Warner Bros., when she wandered one afternoon onto the candlelit set of a Shaolin temple and met for the first time, the volatile, dark and brilliant personality that was actor and icon, David Carradine. Two dynamic people merging into a karmic-destined, intense and turbulent love relationship. Each struggling with their own demons including sexual abuse and incest. Their private life was replete with love, passion, erotic pleasure and eventually bondage, sexual experimentation, and pain as an avenue to pleasure. Their marriage was marred by a toxic secret that could not be ignored. Her writing speaks to readers universally by focusing on their personal journey, revealing the truth about the couple, addresses conquering fear and overcoming obstacles, self discovery, recovery, re-inventing and rebuilding one's self. It's her personal survival while desperately trying to save the marriage as well as Carradine's constant struggle to be someone he wasn't, but wished he could be. Spirituality, psychic John Edward,other psychics and astrologers who helped her are written about in the book as well. They were married on the Warner Bros. back lot and their six-year relationship was a whirl of auditions, star-studded parties, exotic locations, red carpets and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Marina, who was already an established actress, became Carradine's personal manager and set about rehabilitating the career of an actor who was now known for his heavy drinking. She introduced him to Quentin Tarantino, who cast David in a lead role in the popular Kill Bill films. This vaulted Carradine back onto the Hollywood A-list. After their divorce with the help of re-known celebrity Dr. Drew Pinsky (Celebrity Rehab, Sober House), issues are addressed in the consultation verbatim, occupying an entire chapter. Anderson was able to finally exorcise the demons that have haunted her for so long about their relationship and herself that almost destroyed her. “This book is an avenue for his fans and the general public to know, understand and hopefully accept him as a man, not a celluloid fantasy…to be admired for his talents and the motivations behind certain issues in his life understood. It's also to reveal the very personal interior of a marriage that people can relate to. What we do for love. We are all human beings with our faults. He was afraid people wouldn't remember him. That will never happen. The legend continues.” David Carradine's acting career spanned four decades onstage, television and cinema. He became an international sensation as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s hit television series Kung Fu and cemented his cult hero status with his role in the classic movie Death Race 2000. He portrayed Woody Guthrie in Hal Ashby's Bound for Glory and Bill in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films. Carradine received four Golden Globe nominations. He was a talented songwriter and musician and performed in a band called Cosmic Rescue Team. He died in a Bangkok hotel room, June 3, 2009, an apparent victim of autoerotic asphyxiation. Amid sensational media speculation, Marina refused to let David's death remain stigmatized like it was and launched her own investigation into the death of her ex-husband. Suicide? Foul play? A sex act gone wrong? Was he alone? Was there a cover-up? Her conclusions are startling.  https://amzn.to/45Wn9eUBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Cities within all of these great nations and many more, Chris has trod and documented. His format is slow and empathetic. Chris will embark on several 20-30km journeys at his location, take photos and then report on his walk. I can't remember how long I've been subscribed, although it feels like years, but the other day I woke up to an email which detailed Chris's initial impressions of Sydney! I replied to the email right away, and just a few hours later was guiding him along the Malabar to Bondi trail.

Kiara Liz Ortega, AKA: Former Miss Universe Puerto Rico, star of Mira Quién Baila (which she won!), and TV host, takes us on a journey from bartending in San Juan to walking the stage in Bangkok for Miss Universe — and everywhere in between. We learn (in hilarious fashion) that Puerto Rico is in fact an island. Cue the laughter as we share memories from El Conquistador, Palomino Island, and Rincón. Kiara clarifies misconceptions and paints a vivid picture of Puerto Rico's surf culture, geography, and food (yes, we're talking about that famous Ponce ice cream). We get the real story behind Kiara representing Rincón in the pageant: a surfer boy. With giggles and a hint of nostalgia, she confesses her first love inspired the choice. The moment becomes even sweeter when Pol's coffee reading reveals that her heart still echoes with “J.” (Spoiler: Not Juan Carlo) From slinging whiskey to being scouted by a regular (whose daughter is Miss World 2016, Estefanía del Valle), Kiara's Cinderella story begins. Her bar patrons even started a “pageant fund” jar to help her train — throwing down cash in a bidding war of support. Kiara shares how she went from underdog to international finalist — while secretly battling self-sabotage the night before the pageant. The emotional honesty is unforgettable. Post-pageant, she won Mira Quién Baila, starred in theater, and became a TV host in Mexico and the U.S. (And yes, she got a check instead of a trophy — and she's not mad about it .) Kiara opens up about doing charity work before she was ever crowned — especially her work with Centro Inés, a home for the elderly in Puerto Rico. She describes how “just showing up” can be the most powerful act of love. Pol' delivers a spot-on coffee reading, revealing the number 8 as a sign of major transformations, especially in love, timing, and new projects. Kiara's shocked — and clearly holding back juicy details about what's coming next.  ·       The Osbourne “suicide pact” and navigating love & loss ·       The Idaho college murders & the ethics of the death penalty ·       Her parents' real-life telenovela: separated for 13 years, reunited at 18 ·       The abusive relationship she survived — and how her father rescued her ·       Her emotional journey to forgive him and make him her best friend CHAPTERS: Subscribe to our audio: linktr.ee/undressedpod Follow Pol Atteu:  Instagram: @polatteu  Tiktok: @polatteu  Twitter: @polatteu  www.polatteu.com Follow Patrik Simpson:  Instagram: @patriksimpson  Tiktok: @patriksimpsonbh www.patriksimpson.com Follow SnowWhite90210: Instagram: @snowwhite90210 Twitter: @SnowWhite9010 www.snowwhite90210.com Watch Gown and Out In Beverly Hills on Prime Video.  www.gownandoutinbeverlyhills.com #UndressedPodcast  Armenian Coffee Reading: https://polatteu.com/armenian-coffee-cup-read Learn more about your ad choices.

Back in April 2024, I was lucky enough to visit the set of Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth in Thailand where I played detective with stars Samuel Blenkin and Alex Lawther. At the start of our three-day visit, we knew little about where Hawley and co. were taking the iconic franchise, so my one-on-one chats with Blenkin and Lawther were all about trying to figure out who their characters are, how they fit into this situation, and what they want out of it. A little over a year later, we reunited at San Diego Comic-Con for another chat where the duo built upon what we discussed in Bangkok and dug into some of what we see unfold in the first three episodes of the series.Alien: Earth takes place in the year 2120, two years before the events of the first film. Blenkin's Boy Kavalier created one of the five companies that run the planet, Prodigy Corporation. Considered a “boy genius,” Boy K created the program that gives us Wendy, Sydney Chandler's character, the first synthetic to be infused with human consciousness. Her brother, Lawther's Hermit, has no idea she's undergone such a procedure, so when the two reunite and he realizes who she is, it's a mighty complex situation, to say the least.With the first three episodes of Alien: Earth now available to watch, it's time to release my conversation with Blenkin and Lawther filmed at SDCC in FX's podcast studio created in partnership with Press Play: Creatives and At Will Media. In true Collider Forces fashion, we carved out time to discuss their journeys on the stage and screen, and pivotal experiences of honing their crafts as actors, and then veered into Alien: Earth territory where Blenkin and Lawther dug into key scene partners, character motivations, and deleted scenes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
