In this episode, Ben Watkins sits down with Professor Paul Russell to discuss David Hume, philosophy of religion, and Dialogues concerning Natural Religion. Professor Russell is a leading Hume scholar and author of “The Riddle of Hume's Treatise” which argues irreligion is central to understanding the naturalism and skepticism at the heart of Hume's philosophy, specially, that expressed in his “A Treatise of Human Nature.” These irreligious themes culminate in Hume's masterpiece: “Dialogues of concerning Natural Religion.” Professor Russell walks us through different models of god, the argument for design, the argument from evil, and what has been called “Hume's strange inversion” at the end of the Dialogues. Paul Russell's Website: https://sites.google.com/site/paulrussellubc/paul-russell Philpapers: https://philpeople.org/profiles/paul-russell Hume's Skepticism and the Problem of Atheism: https://philarchive.org/archive/RUSHSA-4#:~:text=theist%20nor%20an%20atheist%20but,%2F%20186%E2%80%93%2087%3B%20cp.

In this episode, Ben Watkins sits down to discuss the Van Tillian tradition of presuppositional apologetics often found online along with objective idealism— an epistemological view often associated with Post-Kantians like Hegel, Fichte, and Schelling. Two claims of Van Til are challenged using the resources of objective idealism: Those two claims are (i) Christianity is a necessary condition to know anything at all and (ii) the Christian and the non-Christian have no neutral ground to resolve their disagreements. In addition to challenging these claims by appeal to a form of objective idealism, Ben also gives a brief exposition of the argument from divine hiddenness. Contrary to Van Til and other presuppositional apologetics, it is not the case everyone believes God exists. In fact, there are some people who do not believe God exists, and this fact is evidence for atheism over theism.

In this episode, Ben Watkins sits down with Professor Pete Mandik to discuss several different ways of conceiving of materialism along with strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Professor Mandik also gives a summary of a view inspire by Quine he calls “Type-Q Materialism.” Additionally, Ben and Professor Mandik discuss various aspects of religious mysticism and touch on the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein.

In the latest episode of A Conversation With, hosts Floyd Marshall Jr. and Okema C. Moore welcomed the incomparable Stacie Greenwell for an engaging discussion titled “The Art of Stacie Greenwell.” The accomplished actor, known for her work in Alex Cross and other compelling roles, shared invaluable insights into her career journey, character development, and the creative process. Finding Authenticity in Every Role Stacie Greenwell, a seasoned actor with a diverse body of work, opened up about her approach to bringing authenticity to every role. Whether portraying a stern detective in Alex Cross or a complex character in other projects, Stacie emphasized the importance of grounding her performances in truth. "I always aim to represent my characters honestly and authentically," Greenwell explained. "Even when they have flaws or make mistakes, I want audiences to see their humanity." She revealed that preparation plays a vital role in her craft. From observing real-life interactions to adding nuanced layers of humor and emotion, Stacie ensures that her characters resonate deeply with viewers. Balancing Light and Darkness in Storytelling Much of the discussion centered on the tonal balance in her projects. In Alex Cross, where heavy themes like grief and justice dominate, Greenwell's character served as a source of levity. This balance of dark and light moments is not only a testament to her versatility but also an essential element in creating compelling narratives. “Even when we're tackling heavy subjects, it's important to find those moments of lightness,” Stacie shared. “Audiences need that release, and it makes the darker moments hit harder.” Collaborating in a Creative Ecosystem The interview highlighted the collaborative nature of filmmaking, with Greenwell praising directors, writers, and co-stars who embrace creativity. Reflecting on her time on Alex Cross, she noted the intelligence and depth infused into the scripts by showrunner Ben Watkins. “The characters in Alex Cross were not just one-dimensional,” she said. “They were thinkers, and it was refreshing to see Black creatives portrayed as intelligent, multi-faceted individuals.” Stacie also shared a behind-the-scenes anecdote about her ability to adapt to directorial feedback, illustrating her commitment to collaboration. "Sometimes the director's vision takes you out of your comfort zone, but that's where the magic happens," she noted. Inspiration for Filmmakers For independent filmmakers, the episode offered a treasure trove of advice. Greenwell stressed the importance of storytelling over budgets and encouraged aspiring creatives to focus on scripts that resonate. “A good script will always shine, no matter the budget,” she said. “As an actor, I'm drawn to stories that challenge me and offer a fresh perspective.” Looking Ahead Stacie concluded with her aspirations for 2025, including exploring romantic comedies and projects that allow her to blend acting with singing. Her parting advice? Build authentic relationships in the industry and never stop honing your craft.

It's absolute anarchy this week as we manage to begin the podcast first with a debate about proper podcast nomenclature and then with Kay and Boyd fighting over what does and does not constitute and illegal review. But bear with us and we promise the podcast proper does start eventually. And a good thing too, because Aldis Hodge and Ben Watkins join us to talk Cross (22:16) — though not to get cross — and Rebecca Hall drops by to talk The Listeners (49:12). Elsewhere, we give BBC1's The Listeners the full review treatment (1:06:36), plus spice things up with Dune: Prophecy on Sky Atlantic (1:15:48) and discover whether Michael Schur and Ted Danson's new comedy, A Man On the Inside (1:31:22), can hold a candle to The Good Place. Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide. If you want to avoid this and would like the podcast entirely ad-free (as well as 12 hours early, with a second weekly show, and spoiler specials) then sign up to Pilot+ at empire.supportingcast.fm.

In this new season premiere episode, Hilliard and guest co-host (actor/filmmaker) Shawn Carter Peterson sat down with JOHNNY RAY GILL - a critically acclaimed actor, filmmaker, rapper, poet and activist. He just finished filming seasons one and two of "CROSS" created by Ben Watkins, Amazon Prime's new psychological thriller based on the best-selling book series Alex Cross by James Patterson.

Up next, Johnny Ray will be seen in cat form, in Oscar winner Gore Verbinski's highly anticipated new animated feature "Cattywumpus." It's purrhaps Gill's most hysterical transformation yet.This dynamic, versatile, potent performer might be best known for his soul-stirring performance as Kerwin, opposite Aden Young in the Ray Mckinnon, Mark Johnson, Melissa Bernstein Sundance series "Rectify." A darling amongst critics, exemplified by reviews like The New Yorker “A Quiet Marvel” and Vulture “There May Never Be a Show Like Rectify Again.”Gill's also fondly remembered for warming audience's hearts with his portrayal of Sam, an autistic man trapped in the bowels of slavery, America's greatest sin, on WGN's hit series "Underground" alongside Jurnee Smollett and Aldis Hodge.Another don't miss episode y'all!Our Motto: "We keep it GAME all day!"For information, Merch (T-SHIRTS/HOODIES IN BLACK, GREY & WHITE), and all things Rant Room!Screenwritersrantroom.comhttps://screenwriters-rant-room.printify.me/productsSubscribe, like, follow, share & 5-star review!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Hilliard Guess on all social mediaIG: @ScreenwritersRantRoom@Johnnyraygill@ShawnthemaestroWE ARE NOW OPEN TO SPONSORSHIPS AND BRANDING OPPORTUNITIES⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Screenwritersrantroom@gmail.comWe invest countless hours per week to deliver the actionable content that goes into this podcast.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes Last week, just two weeks ahead of the studio's return to San Diego Comic Con and the release of their sole theatrical outing for the year, Marvel surprised fans by releasing the teaser trailer for Captain America: Brave New World. Clocking in at just under two minutes, this first look is chock full of characters, set pieces and action, with a tense political atmosphere on display that certainly harkens back to 2014's much beloved The Winter Soldier. Marvel Animation has clearly found a voice they have a lot of confidence in, as What If…? series writer Matthew Chauncey has been hired to write the third season of X-Men '97. He replaces Beau DeMayo who wrote the incredibly well received first season of the animated revival as well as the yet to air second season, before being infamously fired by Disney ahead of the show's premiere. Chauncey previously stepped up into a leadership position when he replaced What If…?'s A.C. Bradley as the head writer for season 3. Beau DeMayo received a lot of retroactive praise for not shying away from social issues and commentary with his first season of X-Men '97. Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy's career seems to continue to be on the upswing, as his Star Wars film locked down a writer, Levy's frequent collaborator, Jonathan Tropper. Tropper wrote 2022's The Adam Project and is well established in the TV world, having created both Warrior and Banshee, as well as working as the showrunner for Apple TV's See. There are a lot of Star Wars films in the works these days, many of which were announced prior to Levy's and have yet to receive such significant updates. Despicable Me 4 held the top spot at the box office last weekend, becoming the first animated franchise to cross the $5 billion threshold. Newcomer Longlegs took second place with an impressive $22.6 million debut, setting a record for indie distributor Neon. Warner Brothers and Paramount have unveiled the first trailer for Watchmen Chapter 1, the first of two upcoming animated films set to release digitally on August 13th. The voice cast features Matthew Rhys as Nite Owl, Katee Sackhoff as the second Silk Spectre, Titus Welliver as Rorshach, and Michael Cerveris as Doctor Manhattan, among other notable actors. Michael Bay is in talks to direct Barbaric, a fantasy series for Netflix based on the Vault Comics title. It will star Sam Claflin and Patrick Stewart with X-Men First Class screenwriter Sheldon Turner writing and executive producing the series. Prime Video has ordered The Greatest, a limited series about Muhammad Ali from executive producers Michael B. Jordan and Ben Watkins with Jaalen Best starring as Ali. It is the first authorized scripted series with access to Ali's estate. Apple TV+ released a teaser for Severance Season 2, which premieres on January 17 and will include 10 episodes that release on Fridays weekly. A prequel series to Martin, the show that ran on Fox from 1992 to 1997 and starred Martin Lawrence is in development and will be titled Young Martin. Lawrence's production company RunTelDat will produce. Filming on Euphoria's third season is slated to begin in January 2025 — just about three years after the premiere of season two. HBO says all of the principal cast is set to return, including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and Hunter Schafer. Shelley Duvall who starred in seven films directed by her mentor, Robert Altman and is best known for her role in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, died last Thursday. She was 75. Shannen Doherty, who starred on Beverly Hills 90210 and Charmed, has died after a long battle with cancer. She was 53. On Monday, Netflix released a behind the scenes video of production of the final season of Stranger Things featuring looks at the set, returning cast, and new characters. The series is currently expected to debut sometime in 2025.

In this episode Ben Watkins continues his series on Hume with a look at section IX of Hume's Dialogue's Concerning Natural Religion. Section IX finds Hume's Demea, Philo, and Cleanthes presenting and subjecting to analysis a cosmological argument for the existence of God. Ben and Dr. Joe Campbell discuss the argument as presented and the various criticisms that Hume brings to bear through his three characters. Dr. Joe Campbell's paper on Section IX of the Dialogues. https://www.jstor.org/stable/40026984

In this episode, Ben Watkins sits down with Matthew Adelstein to discuss utilitarianism and theism. Utilitarianism, in its classical forms, claims that what we morally ought to do is act in ways that would maximize happiness and minimize suffering. This simple moral calculus is open to several important objections, but if true, has important consequences for theism as traditionally conceived. If God morally should create a world that maximizes happiness and minimize suffering, as would be the case if hedonistic act utilitarianism were true, then we are clearly not talking about the actual world. There could be much more happiness and much less suffering, therefore, there is no God as traditionally conceived in the actual world. Matthew's blog: https://benthams.substack.com/

As a follow up to the last episode which gave a general overview of Hume's famous essay, Ben Watkins interviews philosopher Dr. Bill Vanderburgh on his 2019 book David Hume on Miracles, Evidence, and Probability. The conversation explores some of the reasons the text is often misinterpreted. The importance of placing Hume in his historical context is emphasized in response to common objections. Get Dr. Vandenburgh's excellent book here: https://www.amazon.com/David-Hume-Miracles-Evidence-Probability-ebook/dp/B07PV79RRL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3UDWN1IY3TMUE&keywords=vanderburgh+hume+miracles&qid=1682108975&sprefix=vanderburgh+hume+miracle%2Caps%2C341&sr=8-1

In this episode, Real Atheology co-host Ben Watkins takes us on a tour through parts one and two of Hume's controversial essay 'Of Miracles'. Ben begins by providing context that serves to undercut some popular but ultimately uncharitable readings of Hume's central thesis. With the infamous argument clarified, other common objections are also explored.

Hilliard & Chris sit down with writer/producer Ron McCants, who writes dramas that explore the human experience. His stories are often fueled by dark secrets and deep shames at the intersection of crime and family because his family's full of addicts, pimps, prostitutes, murderers, CIA operatives, business owners, professional athletes, detectives and educators straight out of a Flannery O'Connor novel. He's passionate about writing historical dramas that incorporate extensive research to tell emotional truths of characters and time periods he loves. Ron's from a small town in Missouri where its chief exports are cotton and violence. He has 9 siblings and lucked out when Dartmouth College sent him a free application, and he began his odyssey. When you have 9 siblings and are from the corner of Nowhere and Nothing, your only goal when you leave home is to survive. That goal made Ron adventurous, unafraid and a well-rounded multitasker. While Ron received a B.A. in Engineering from Dartmouth College, the college unexpectedly taught him how to dream. He moved to California for an M.F.A. in Playwriting from UC, San Diego. He became an award-winning playwright, got married, had two girls and broke free from the talons of poverty. In 2016, he was selected as a Disney ABC Program Writer and staffed on Speechless. He's written a music video for Nas, worked on Marvel's Falcon and The Winter Soldier, staffed on Chicago Fire, and most recently was an executive story editor for Amazon's new show, Cross created by his mentor Ben Watkins. Ron also competes as a classic physique bodybuilder, too. Check out the ScreenWriterRR website at www.screenwritersrr.com for information, merch, or our Patreon!

Chris Madden got underneath and past Scott Bloomquist to claim victory at Night 1 of the Colossal 100 at The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Thursday. Bloomquist had led the entire 30-lap event from the pole to that point, but lapped traffic came into play, upsetting Bloomquist's No. 0 Super Late Model, allowing Madden to squirt past with three laps to go and hold on for the win.Madden stalked Bloomquist for the latter part of the night after getting by Ross Bailes on a restart midway through the feature. As the two caught traffic, Madden's No. 44 crept closer and closer. Bloomquist washed up the track, and Madden got underneath him coming off Turn 2. This is Madden's seventh all-time win at The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway.“We needed that long run. We were good in traffic. We got into lapped traffic and he got a little loose,” Madden said. “We were able to get up under him down the backstretch and make the pass.”Bloomquist held off Jonathan Davenport for second, Bailes finished fourth and Chris Madden finished fifth. This is Madden's seventh all-time win at The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway.XR SUPER SERIES LATE MODELSFEATURE RESULTS1. (3) 44 Chris Madden – Gaffney, SC 2.

Click to tweet this podcast to your friends and followers! Ben Watkins moved 14 times by the time he graduated high school. As a kid, his experiences ran the gamut from living in a fancy, gated community, to being homeless and sleeping in a 1976 Ford Monarch. He was married and had a family by the time he graduated college. Before he turned to writing, Ben had worked more than 30 jobs ranging from plastics salesman to paralegal to soap opera stud. With such an eclectic background, it's no wonder he has emerged as one of the most original storytellers in television. Ben Watkins began the transition to writing with the award-winning Sundance short film Quest to Ref, which he wrote, co-directed and starred in. Soon after adapting that project into a feature screenplay for Universal, Watkins joined USA Network's Burn Notice. He rose from staff writer to executive producer, before moving on to create the provocative Amazon Originals series, Hand of God. Watkins recently completed production on season one of Hand of God, which premiered in September. Ben resides in El Segundo, California, with his wife and four sons.
