Stephen Garrett is back from Venice, Neal Pollack was in Venice earlier this year. And the one thing they can agree on: Venice is very hot in the summer. But only Stephen attended the Venice International Film Festival, and man, did he see some great movies. We should watch out for Ink, the new Danny Boyle movie about the Rupert Murdoch assault on London's stodgy Fleet Street newspapers in 1969, a new 1973-set CIA thriller comedy from Martin McDonagh, starring John Malkovich, and NAZA, a documentary about the IDF's activities in Gaza that we're certain will be the topic of nuanced debate online. Also playing in Venice (and Austin, where Neal saw it) is Oasis: Don't Look Back In Anger, a fantastic documentary about Oasis' 2025 world reunion tour. Neal was already a fan, and Stephen, well, he's a lad now. Beautifully made, with great sound, this is a hallmark of rock documentary filmmaking. More divisive is Hope, a South Korean monster movie that's also a sci-fi movie. Or is it an absurd character comedy. This movie changes gears every hour, and it's almost three hours long. Neal and Stephen loved the first hour, and the rest, well, you'll just have to listen to the episode.

On Episode 158 of The Film '89 Podcast, we're joined once again by our very good friend and frequent guest-host, filmmaker and podcast producer, Kyle Reardon, to discuss, for its 40th anniversary, a cult classic film we've wanted to cover for some time now, starring Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell and Jennifer Jason Leigh, it's director Robert Harmon's multi-genre-straddling cult classic, The Hitcher.Released in 1986, The Hitcher was the brainchild of screenwriter Eric Red, whose initial inspiration for the story of a young man being stalked by a murderous hitchhiker was The Doors' song, Riders on the Storm. A commercial failure upon its initial theatrical release, The Hitcher was one of several films from the 1980s that died in theatres only to find a second life on home video. Much like John Carpenter's The Thing and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, The Hitcher benefited from positive word of mouth at video stores and became very much a cult classic. Skye and Kyle delve deep into the film, they discuss its refusal to hold the audience's hand and the huge scope for interpretation as to the motivation of Rutger Hauer's psychotic John Ryder. Beautifully shot and impeccably directed, with a haunting score by Mark Isham, The Hitcher is a film that's aged like a fine wine and one ripe for the in-depth Film ‘89 treatment. All content is the property of Film ‘89 and is protected under applicable copyright laws.

Philippa reviews four books — including two she couldn't wait to tell you about — before a wonderful, wide-ranging conversation with C.J. Tudor about her latest novel Serenity Falls, out 10th September, the book she needed to write after the hardest year of her life.

No author interview, no book reviews — just Philippa's most personal episode of the year: her best reads of the first six months of 2026. Twelve books, one honourable mention, and the admission that it was genuinely hard to narrow it down.These are books Philippa read between January and June — not necessarily published this year — in alphabetical order by author surname, because she doesn't want to rank them.

– Introduction & Eclipse Banter: Tosin introduces the panel (Shaun, Sharon, and Holly) on the day of the solar eclipse before diving into this week's lineup.– What We've Been Watching: Shaun recaps his marathon cinema trip (The Odyssey, The End of Oak Street, Spider-Man, and secret screening Tony), while Holly and Tosin share their home streaming picks.– Cinema Review: The End of Oak StreetShaun's Rating: $3 / 5$Details: A suburban neighbourhood gets transported into a pre-historic time zone filled with dinosaurs. Featuring Ewan McGregor doing a noticeably "hammy" American accent, this B-movie creature feature stays silly, convenient, and doesn't take itself too seriously.– Streaming Review: The Devil's MouthHolly's Rating: $1.5 / 5$Details: Starring Kathryn Newton. A group of friends on holiday in Thailand go cave diving in "The Devil's Mouth" freshwater caves when things go wrong. Too mediocre to be a fun "bad" shark movie, it delivers a predictable, middle-of-the-road experience.– Cinema Review: TonyShaun's Rating: $3 / 5$Sharon's Rating: $3.25 / 5$Details: A secret screening capturing a formative summer in 1975 for a young Anthony Bourdain (played by Dominic Sessa). Directed by the director of La Varna: The Band, The Show, The Movie, and co-starring Antonio Banderas as a restaurateur. While a bit detached for UK audiences unfamiliar with Bourdain's legacy, it captures an authentic mid-70s vibe.– Streaming Review: PossessionHolly's Rating: $4.5 / 5$Details: A 5-part Sky series starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw as a UK lawyer investigating a £50M estate in Jamaica left to a mysterious recipient named Kojo East. Beautifully shot, it delves into themes of Caribbean spiritualism, history, and the complex layers of "possession."– The Scorecard & Winner Selection: Tosin tallies up the ratings to crown this week's champion.– Feedback Corner & Catch-Up: The crew discusses The Boys Season 5, The Odyssey, Spider-Man, and responds to listener comments from YouTube.(Thanks to Sharon upgrading her score for Tony to $3.25$, Cinema narrowly edged out Streaming by just $0.0625$ points!)The Boys (Season 5): Tosin gives his take on Season 5, feeling the show dragged out plotlines and reached around for reasons to keep going when it could have wrapped up a season earlier.The Odyssey & Spider-Man (Brand New Day): Shaun notes The Odyssey felt drawn out toward the end, whereas Spider-Man felt like a well-executed reboot.Shoutouts & Listener Comments:A special mention to Ute and her daughter Elizabeth (who worked on set for Spider-Man!).Shoutouts to YouTube commenters JG, Yohan Beatrice, Matthew Phelan, and LMS Land for their essays, movie hot-takes, and for declaring Tosin the podcast's resident "health nut."

Today I'm reviewing The Secret Astronomers by Jessica Walker—a visually striking YA novel that turns an old astronomy textbook into the heart of an intimate story about connection, identity, and finding someone who understands you.Set in rural West Virginia, the novel follows two high school pen pals who communicate through notes, drawings, and artwork left inside an 1888 astronomy textbook. Rather than relying on traditional narration, the story unfolds through this epistolary format, allowing us to piece together their lives and relationship through what they choose to share with one another.The combination of handwritten messages, illustrations, and astronomy gives the book such a distinctive personality, making the physical presentation part of the storytelling rather than simply decoration. It's an inventive approach to YA contemporary fiction that makes reading it feel like discovering a private conversation hidden between the pages of an old book.

Tamara, a hair and makeup artist from St. Louis, describes her experience at the women-only Aluna Rose ayahuasca retreat as one of the three most profound experiences of her life. After decades of spiritual exploration, a series of synchronicities ultimately led her to the retreat, where two nights of ceremony took her through an intense journey of surrender, healing, and self-discovery. Her first night was largely physical, involving powerful energetic releases and encounters with familiar spirit guides. On the second night, she revisited past-life experiences that revealed a deeply rooted pattern of hiding from life out of fear of pain. Faced with a symbolic choice to remain hidden or step fully into her power, Tamara chose to move forward, passing through a vivid dragon-eye portal and experiencing an overwhelming release that transformed into a feeling of strength, freedom, and empowerment.Her journey then expanded into what she experienced as healing along her maternal ancestral line. She witnessed generations of feminine spiritual power becoming suppressed through trauma and abuse, while recognizing her own mother as the person who stopped much of that pain from continuing forward. In a final vision, Tamara received an experience of healthy, powerful maternal love that brought both grief and profound healing. Since returning home, she says the experience has continued to unfold through stronger intuition, automatic writing, spiritual practices, and unexpected realizations in everyday life. Her husband describes her as “the same but more”—more open, loving, and fully herself. Tamara hopes to return to Aluna and is considering facilitator training, while encouraging anyone who genuinely feels called toward ayahuasca to approach the experience with openness and understand that the journey of integration continues long after the ceremony ends.

In this episode, Sarah Wilson explores how to live fully in an uncertain world by asking one of life's most important questions: Who do you want to be when everything around you feels unstable? Drawing on philosophy, psychology, history, and her new book, I Eat the Stars: How ot Live Fully and Beautifully in a Collapsing World, Sarah shares why facing difficult truths doesn't have to lead to despair—and how accepting uncertainty can actually bring greater clarity, meaning, and aliveness. Together, she and Eric discuss resilience, hope, community, and what it means to become an “island of sanity” in challenging times. A Weekly Bite of Wisdom: Want to go deeper with the ideas we explore on The One You Feed? Every Wednesday, Eric shares a short, practical email that turns insights about mental health, relationships, purpose, habits, and personal growth into simple practices you can use right away.

How facing difficult truths can reduce anxiety and inner conflict. Why asking “Who do I want to be?” matters more than trying to control the future. The power of becoming an “island of sanity” for yourself and others. How community, service, and caring for others help us navigate difficult times. Why humans are more resilient than we often believe. What history and ancient wisdom can teach us about flourishing during periods of upheaval.

Marloes Halmans moved her family from the Netherlands to Burgundy in France prior to Covid and loves sharing all that she loves about her adopted home! The greenery, the wildlife, the rural farming, the wine, the food... I completely agree with her, there is something very special about Bourgogne! There always seems to be something happening regardless of the time of year for a visit.Marloes and I chatted about some cultural differences between the Dutch and French, things that would impact the manner in which new people are accepted. We also discussed some of the quirks of moving to France including having her young children start school with no French fluency at all! Marloes and her family were also renovating an old farmhouse when they first arrived, so there were lot's of challenges! Marloes and I had a lovely chat about French style in this podcast chat. We ponder that what we as non-French people usually describe as French design is actually not much at all like a common French home. But there is a style that we often consider evokes a sense of Frenchiness and I must say, that often helps me to feel connected to France. They have overcome any issues and now have a beautiful home and a wonderful YouTube channel sharing their French life as well as places and homes that Marloes visits all over France. Marloes has only one goal and that is to bring people into the warmth and calmness of her home, to help people around the globe to escape by sharing happiness, beauty and peace. Marloes is living a beautiful French life and has reminded me to live life intentionally, with purpose. Tune in and escape to France with us xx **Louise Prichard is the host of the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles podcast.**Other Loulabelle's links:FrancoFile Fix on YouTubeLoulabelle's FrancoFiles Spotify Playlist Loulabelle's FrancoFiles InstagramLoulabelle's FrancoFiles website

Today I'm reviewing Every Exquisite Thing by Laura Steven—a stunning YA fantasy that reimagines The Picture of Dorian Gray with emotional depth, unforgettable characters, and a story that feels both timeless and incredibly relevant.This novel masterfully balances dark academia, gothic atmosphere, and heartfelt character development while exploring identity, beauty, self-worth, and the pressure to be seen as "perfect." Add in compelling sapphic romance, sharp social commentary, and a protagonist whose journey feels deeply authentic, and you have one of the year's standout reads.Beautifully written and emotionally resonant, Every Exquisite Thing takes a literary classic and transforms it into something fresh, powerful, and impossible to put down.

This week, Skeptik leads the antifascist charge as we cover Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, directed by Hiroyuki Okiura and created by Mamaru Oshii. We love our anime episodes, despite them leaving us questioning our existence and destroying our faith in mankind. This one is no different. Beautifully animated with incredible performances from the cast, this will surely leave an emotional scar like the best films usually do.

What if the answer to our late-stage collapse isn't grim sacrifice, but a more joyful, humane way to live? Today, we hear from Elizabeth Dunn and Jiaying Zhao, authors of Leave the Lights On: How Joyful Decisions Can Save Our Species, who argue that climate action works best when it makes our lives happier, not harder. Then Sarah Wilson, author of I Eat the Stars: How to Live Fully and Beautifully in a Collapsing World, offers a clear-eyed but strangely hopeful guide to finding meaning, agency, and beauty amid systemic chaos.

Send us Fan MailFor so many LGBTQ+ people—and for the parents who love them—the church has been a place of deep wounds rather than deep belonging. Too often, the message has been that to be loved by God, you first have to change who you are. So many have walked away from faith altogether, believing they had to choose between their spirituality and their authentic selves. But every once in a while, someone comes along who refuses that false choice. Instead of abandoning faith, they reclaim it. They reinterpret it. They reshape it into something expansive enough to hold their whole, beautiful selves—and in doing so, they create room for others to come home, too. Today In the Den, Sara talks with drag artist, songwriter, and musician Flamy Grant, whose bold blend of gospel, folk, country, and unapologetic queerness is challenging assumptions about who belongs in sacred spaces. They talk about reclaiming spirituality after harm, the healing power of music and drag, what it means to plant a stiletto in sacred space, navigating both praise and backlash, and why joy itself can be an act of resistance. Whether you've left religion behind, found your way back, or are still figuring out what you believe, this conversation is an invitation to imagine a faith that celebrates you exactly as you are.Special Guest: Flamy GrantFlamy Grant is a trailblazing drag queen and musician from Asheville, North Carolina with over 1.5 million streams on digital music platforms. Beautifully blending her Appalachian roots with drag artistry and musical excellence, Flamy has stormed stages from Los Angeles to London, from New York to the Netherlands, racking up over 1.5 million streams on digital music platforms. This powerhouse vocalist, intrepid songwriter, and shame-slaying drag queen serves up a therapeutic, theatrical experience that is fearless, flamboyant, and full of heart.Links from the Show:Flamy on TikTokFlamy on IGFlamy on FBFlamy on ThreadsFlamy on YouTubeFlamy on BlueSkyJoin Mama Dragons todayIn the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.

This episode will take you to two iconic National Parks and a bonus trip to the summit of Pikes Peak! Beautifully written entries by Alexander Davidson, a traveling preacher and singer, will make you feel as if you were there with him. His visit in 1905 was in an era when the Parks were far more untamed than present day. Transportation was much slower, guest services far less refined, boundaries less established, but the natural wonders and beauty were there to be seen and experienced by those brave enough to visit!    Send us Fan MailPlease go to: https://diarydiscoveries.com to see episode photos and read our blog.

Host Greta Johnsen talks with Sarah Wilson about her new book, I Eat the Stars: How to Live Fully and Beautifully in a Collapsing World. As the title suggests, Sarah's book explores the idea of sysrem collapse, a metacrisis we're already experiencing through climate crises, political upheaval, cultural isolationism, and fossil fuel consumption.This book isn't necessarily easy to read -- after all, it presents a pretty grim future for our current way of life. But Sarah also points out that many of the systems that are currently collapsing have been oppressing us from the beginning. And to that end, this book is an invitation to consider what to prioritize as humanity moves forward.SHOW CREDITSCreator and host: Greta JohnsenSenior Producer: Ben GoldbergComposers: Ross Bellenoit and Jeremy ThalTile art: Mac MacleanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"Love separates all things from the soul." Meister Eckhart — fourteenth century Christian mystic, so radical the Pope investigated him for heresy — arrived at the same place as the Bhakti Vedāntins. Both jñāna and bhakti dissolve material attachment. Jñāna does it through relentless intellectual negation. Bhakti does it through love. And love, as the Rāsa Dance shows, does it beautifully. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha continue through Canto Ten, Chapter Thirty-Three — Krishna caressing the tired gopīs' faces, the demigods showering flowers from their airplanes, Krishna and the gopīs entering the Yamuna together under the autumn moon. The highest object of meditation, delivered into this universe so we would stop looking for love and beauty in all the wrong places.

This project blends new construction techniques with historic preservation to create a one-of-a-kind home that will be on the market later this year.

Philippa opens with a much-requested update on the Barcelona Kindle story — specifically, the one detail everyone wanted to know: did the Kindle survive? (It did. The case did not.) Then it's three book reviews and a wonderful conversation with debut novelist Amman Brar about Mr. Sidhu's Post Office — one of BBC News's 12 books to read in 2026.

Evan and Tiki look back at their NBA Finals predictions and revisit the moment Evan declared the Knicks were going to win the East. With the Knicks proving him right, Evan takes a victory lap while the crew compares preseason picks, laughs at the misses, and gives Charles Barkley credit for believing in New York too. The conversation also keeps circling back to Evan's parenting debate after he told his son the major leagues were probably not in his future. Callers weigh in on honesty, youth sports dreams, underhand free throws, and whether parents should protect belief or tell the truth when kids ask big questions.

Viking raiders often targeted Christian monasteries for their beautifully decorated reliquaries, which were holy containers designed to house the remains of saints. While monks valued the sacred relics inside, the Norse raiders disregarded the contents, often shaking the relics out to claim the precious metal and jewels for themselves. These objects were frequently taken back to Norway and repurposed as jewelry or gifts for women, as evidenced by reliquary fragments found in female burial mounds. This pattern suggests that early raids were largely driven by young males seeking the wealth and status necessary to establish households and find wives back in Scandinavia. Barraclough also addresses the theory that female infanticide may have contributed to a gender imbalance, further fueling the need for men to go raiding. Beyond material wealth, the Norse worldview was deeply influenced by a belief in an unseen supernatural world that could impact human health and fate. An unusual artifact from Denmark, a human skull fragment carved with runes, served as a protective amulet against "dwarves" or other malevolent beings believed to cause sickness. In this context, supernatural entities like elves and dwarves occupied a similar space in the Norse mentality as modern concepts like germs or viruses. 4/81747 SCANDANAVIA
