Are you a tea drinker? We do! It offers many health benefits and is a great way to increase your water intake and hydration during perimenopause and menopause.In this interview, Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, published menopause researcher, menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, talks with Cindi Bigelow, the third-generation President and CEO of Bigelow Tea, the family-owned American tea company founded in 1945. She helped transform the brand from a traditional grocery-store staple into a modern wellness-focused tea company, expanding into specialty blends, green teas, and functional teas while keeping the business privately held and family-run. Topics:Bigelow & Integrity: The company is a third-generation, family- and women-owned business founded by Cindi Bigelow's grandmother in 1945 with the iconic Constant Comment tea. Its focus has always been on mission and quality, not just profit.Quality: Bigelow tests its teas for nearly 500 pesticides to ensure the final product is clean. Additionally, every tea bag undergoes 26 checks before reaching the store shelf.Debunking the Plastic Tea Bag Scare: The most common type of tea bag used in the U.S., such as Bigelow's double-chamber, non-heat-sealed bag, contains no plastic; it's made from wood pulp and abaca. The misinformation circulating often shows the wrong kind of tea bags.Foil is the Secret to Freshness: Bigelow invented the individual foil pouch because it is the only way to protect the volatile oils in tea, which make the tea healthy and flavorful, from degrading for up to three years.Loose Tea is a Trade-Off: While loose tea provides a "beautiful experience," it oxidizes and degrades more quickly when exposed to air, light, and moisture.Hydration is Critical for Menopause: For women in perimenopause and menopause, staying well-hydrated is essential for maintaining energy, supporting brain and skin health, reducing inflammation, and aiding digestion.Making Water Easier to Drink: Bigelow's Botanicals Cold Water Infusion line was created because many people, including the CEO herself, don't enjoy drinking plain water; these bags gently infuse cold water with natural flavors, making hydration simple.Longevity: The Bigelow family members are avid tea drinkers, sometimes enjoying up to 10 cups a day, and have enjoyed long lives; her mother is 97, and her grandfather lived to 103. Tea could be part of that longevity.Explore a wide variety of Green, Black, and Herbal Teas, as well as Bigelow's Botanical Infusions. https://bit.ly/4kFzfyJ Send a text ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagine

Eighteen hours before my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Rose Matheny first spotted a small space rock with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona it had passed less than the Earth's diameter from the surface of our planet. Rose was able to discover this Smart Car sized space rock after it moved out of the Sun's glare. At this point it was about the Moon's distance from her and was traveling away at 3.4 mi/s. After Rose posted her discovery observations on the Minor Planet Center's Near Earth Object Confirmation page, for the next 24 hours it was tracked by telescopes in Spain, Illinois, and Arizona. Scientists at the Minor Planet Center used these data to calculate it's orbit around the Sun, estimate it's size and give it the name 2017 UJ2. This small asteroid had come near the Earth in 1978 but was invisible to the technology which astronomers had available at the time. 2017 UJ2 will not come close enough for us to detect in the foreseeable future, however, there are likely to be tens of millions of others like it which can come close to Earth. A small asteroid the size of Rose's discovery is likely to enter our atmosphere at least once a year and explodes at about 4 times higher than airliners fly. If such an event happened at night and you were lucky enough to see it you would be treated to a fantastic light show. If you are as lucky as a power ball winner you might even be able to find a piece of it on the ground.

Ahora sí, ahora sí que volvemos por fin con un nuevo capítulo principal de Viajeros de la noche, y esta vez con otros viajeros nocturnos, otros vampiros que no son los de Bigelow, ni los de Carpenter, ni los de Rodríguez, y que acaban de recibir nada menos que 16 nominaciones a los Óscar, estableciendo un nuevo récord en los calvos dorados de Hollywood. ¿Esa es una buena razón para hacer un programa sobre ellos? Pues creemos que sí, porque no habíamos hablado sobre ella, y porque nos viene de perlas para hablar de hype, premios, vampiros y música. Puede que algunos ya sepan lo que opina Massanet de ella, pero Tornero y Álvaro la acaban de ver... de modo que cualquier cosa puede pasar... Aquí tenéis dos horas en las que hablamos de Sinners, pero también de algunos cómics de vampiros, de cagadas históricas de los Óscar y de unas cuantas cosas más, y totalmente gratis, por lo que os garantizamos dos horas de diversión para vuestro viaje en metro, o mientras lleváis a cabo esas tareas tediosas, o mientras no hacéis nada, porque os prometemos que os va a gustar. Y recordad que nuestros Twitter son @tw0laneblacktop (Adrián Tornero) y @adrianmassanet y @DavidGMino, que no está pero volverá pronto.

Kathryn Bigelow, es la primera directora en la historia en ganar un Óscar, cuya cinematografía se distingue por una estética de pura adrenalina y un trasfondo bélico que tradicionalmente se asocia a una vertiente más "testosterónica", según José Egea. A través de obras como Zero Dark Thirty (conocida en España como La noche más oscura), "Bigelow propone una narrativa de estilo documental y cámara en mano que huye de los clichés del espionaje tipo 007 para centrarse en el trabajo pausado y real de oficina que llevó a la localización de Bin Laden-".La película destaca por el personaje de Jessica Chastain, una investigadora aparentemente frágil que se mantiene implacable en entornos de alta presión y sesiones de tortura, reflejando además cómo las políticas nacionales de las eras de Bush y Obama modificaron el comportamiento de la CIA. Finalmente, Egea subraya que el cine de Bigelow no busca ofrecer respuestas masticadas ni discursos morales, sino que traslada los dilemas éticos sobre la justicia y la seguridad directamente a la audiencia, permitiendo que el espectador genere su propio debate tras la visualización.
CW: Police brutality, racism, and sexual assault discussed in relation to the plot and themes of the film. After an extended (and accidental) hiatus, Masie & Stuart are finally back with a new monthly schedule to dissect the unfortunately topical 1995 Kathryn Bigelow cyberpunk action film Strange Days. Starring Ralph Fiennes as the most pathetic ex-cop ever dealing street illegal VR-esque tech on New Year's Eve in the near future 1999, Strange Days is a shockingly prescient film in its portrayal of the evils of police brutality and racism. Does it nail its conclusions on these topics though? And does Angela Bassett slay so hard that its easy to overlook those faults? Tune in to find out!

Send us a textVirginia Faulkner had no family ties to that other famous Faulkner, but she is connected to another icon of classic American literature. A young flapper who made an authorial splash with the New York literati (earning comparisons to a young Dorothy Parker), Faulkner later switched gears, devoting the second half of her life to shaping The University of Nebraska Press into a powerhouse publishing institution. Her dedication to scholarship on Willa Cather helped solidify Cather in the pantheon of great American writers.

Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From March 2025. Today's 2 topics: - Astronomers have yet to discover any long lasting natural object, beside our Moon, which orbits the Earth, however, occasionally, a small space rock enters into a temporary dance with our home planet. - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Greg Leonard was asteroid hunting in the constellation of Hydra with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona when a fast moving unknown point of light passed through a set of his images. After Greg reported his observations to the Minor Planet Center for the next 10 days it was tracked by observatories in Arizona, Italy, Hawaii, Australia, and Argentina. Citizen scientist H. A. Güler analyzed these data. The Minor Planet Center published the discovery of the near Earth asteroid 2018 CN41. The discovery was deleted when the object turned out to be a Falcon Heavy Rocket Upper stage with a Tesla roadster attached.

Happy Christmas and Merry Holidays to all! It's the 2025 season finale of RPGrinders and it is one of the best of the year! Don't worry, because we will be back in 2026. Until then, enjoy this last episode of the latest news, reviews, and some special surprises. (That aren't actually surprises because we already said we would do them!) With only a week left in this weak ass year, there are no new releases to announce. That's okay because 2026 will soon be here and with it, new games a plenty. The next few months alone will see the releases of Escape From Ever After, Ariana and the Elder Codex, and MegaMan Starforce Legacy Collection. Enough games to keep us all occupied through the long winter months. In the holiday spirit of "scary ghost stories," Frank reviews one of most popular horror franchises of all time. I won't spoil the surprise, but I will say that Santa Claus isn't the only thing keeping children up late at night. Every year, the Grinders give our top pics in RPG gaming. Even a crappy year like 2025 has had some fantastic releases. For the first time ever, the Grinders all choose a game from one certain franchise. Retro games remade for the modern error without losing the charm of the originals. What were once just 2D pixels are now rich 3D worlds to explore. Stagnant enemies are now in full motion and looking far better than ever. What are those games? I won't spoil the holiday fun! Go sit on Santa's lap, maybe he'll tell you. Santa Claus has a Naughty List of all the children who misbehave; however, it pales in comparison to the RPGrinders weekly 2025 Stinkos. Genocidal mad men are murdering innocent fishermen and trying to start wars. Racist losers are kidnapping and disappearing innocent people off the streets. Government agencies protecting wealthy pedophiles. Government agencies weaponizing our courts against their political enemies. All of those and a country that loves its guns more than its children. Maybe this whole country should be on his Naughty List. With so many reasons to be exhausted, like the holidays and fascism, we all need a release. What better way to bring people together for fun than gaming? This episode is the finale episode of the RPGrinders version of gaming fun, Game Night! After 2 weeks of wrestling entertainment, the Grinders finally determine the winner of our final game of 2025. Will it be Frank's wicked El Chaupacabra? Or maybe Break's grunty Beast? What about Eric's badass Johnny 5 Bigelow? Or could it be one of the chatter's wrestlers who cleaned house and took home the championship belt?? No hints and Santa can't help you this time! With that, the Grinders give a Merry Middle Finger to 2025 and wish nothing but the best to all our friends, family, and listeners. May whichever holiday you celebrate be filled with love and joy. The only thing that kinda sucks about Game Night is that I write a bunch of stuff that never even gets used. It took me a couple hours to write the *redacted* ending but no one will hear its glory! lol Oh well, as long as I am still having fun, I see no real need to complain!

In this episode, Alicia Bigelow, ND joins to discuss the potential of psychedelic medicine to support the menopause transition. Dr. Ali Bigelow is a naturopathic physician, ketamine provider and licensed psilocybin facilitator in Portland, OR. She leads individual and group retreats, enjoys incorporating live music into her sessions when desired, and is passionate about supporting those navigating life transitions, such as end of life and menopause, through her low dose group, Menomorphosis. Dr. Bigelow will be doing retreats in 2026 with Rise Up Journeys at RiseUpJourneys.com In this conversation, Dr. Bigelow explores the emerging intersection between psychedelics and the menopausal transition, framing perimenopause and menopause as profound neuroendocrine, psychological, and existential shifts rather than merely clinical syndromes. She also discusses how hormonal changes—particularly declining estrogen—interact with serotonin, inflammation, and neuroplasticity, potentially shaping psychedelic experiences and outcomes. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Bigelow emphasizes the unique capacity of psychedelics to support self-actualization, identity reformation, and meaning-making during midlife, especially when combined with hormone therapy, intentional integration practices, and strong community support. In this episode, you'll hear: Why perimenopause and menopause represent a major but under-recognized neurobiological life transition How estrogen, serotonin receptors, and psychedelics like psilocybin may interact in midlife What we know (and don't yet know) about hormone replacement therapy and psychedelic efficacy The potential anti-inflammatory effects of psychedelics and their relevance to menopausal symptoms How ketamine may function differently from classic psychedelics during hormonal transitions Why psychedelics can support identity reorientation, self-actualization, and "not caring" in generative ways The critical role of community, creativity, and nervous system regulation in integration during midlife Quotes: "We don't honor and celebrate aging and elderhood overall in our culture. … What I do feel is really vital is that we gather and support each other in all of life's transitions, and [menopause has] not only been underrepresented, but also just under honored." [3:29] "As [estrogen] levels decrease, there's a decrease in serotonin receptors—which is the 5-HT2A receptor. And so that reduces our sensitivity to, and activity of serotonin. And psilocybin and LSD and other 5-HT2A agonists—they can enhance their receptors and the activity of those receptors." [13:20] "The understanding is that with [estrogen] hormone replacement therapy you would then, theoretically, see a replenishment of [serotonin] receptors, and then the psilocybin would have more ability to act on those receptors." [15:37] "Psilocybin—and psychedelics in general—and the menopausal transition are just really beautiful complements to each other and they become even more potent when used together."

according to Dr James Lacatski, wolf-like creatures are showing up at DIA officials homes and they don't know what to do about it! apparently back in the early 2000s Lacatski headed up an agency to check into Bigelow's ranch also known as the skinwalker ranch and states that five officials were followed home using the "hitchhiker effect". maybe we shouldn't be messing with areas that we don't understand yet? let's find out a little bit more about this particular incident!

In this episode, we walk slowly but carefully into Kathryn Bigelow's Oscar-winning film, "The Hurt Locker." We explore the film's gripping portrayal of the Iraq War, its intense cinematography, and the nuanced performances by Jeremy Renner and Anthony Mackie. With a mix of admiration and critique, we discuss the film's lasting impact and its place in cinematic history. Whether you're a fan of war dramas or just curious about what makes this film a standout, this episode offers a thoughtful analysis that will leave you with a new appreciation for Bigelow's work.
Puntata a cura di Jacopo Bulgarini d'Elci e Livio PacellaIn via eccezionale, in questo nostro podcast si parla di un film: A House of Dynamite (2025, Netflix), thriller geopolitico, della durata di quasi 2 ore, di Kathryn Bigelow. Anche se, come discutiamo nell'episodio, l'idea di serialità è intrinsecamente connessa a questa produzione. E poi, A House of Dynamite si inserisce idealmente in un filone (quasi “seriale”) all'interno della filmografia della prima autrice a vincere l'Oscar per la regia (The Hurt Locker, 2008). Più precisamente, questo film è l'ultimo capitolo di un'ideale trilogia della guerra, iniziata con il sopracitato The Hurt Locker e proseguita con Zero Dark Thirty (2012), il film sulla laboriosa cattura di Bin Laden. Ci sono tutti gli elementi che hanno contribuito alla sua fama: tensione da conto alla rovescia, crisi militari, morale individuale sotto stress.Nel cast troviamo Idris Elba (The Wire), Rebecca Ferguson (Dune), Gabriel Basso (The Night Agent) e Jared Harris (Fringe, The Terror).“Autori”: lo spazio che Mondoserie dedica a registi, sceneggiatori, showrunner e creatori di prodotti che segnano il nostro tempo.

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From August 2025. Today's 2 topics: - The Trappist-1 planetary system located about 40 light years away in the constellation of Aquarius consists of a small red dwarf star and 7 Earth sized planets. By carefully studying changes in the planet's transit timings and the shape of the dip in the host star's brightness as each planet transits across it, astronomers have been able to measure the orbital period, radius, and approximate mass for each of the 7 planets. - Recently my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Richard Kowalski discovered 2017 MB1, a 0.4 mile diameter asteroid with the Catalina Sky Survey Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, AZ. Two hours and 11 minutes later it came into a set images I obtained with the 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, AZ. After I reported it, the new object was tracked by telescopes in Arizona, New Zealand, Slovenia, Kansas, Australia, Hungary, France, and Brazil.

Join Houselights as we explore "Point Break," Kathryn Bigelow's 90s cult classic that blends extreme sports with high-stakes heists. With Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze leading the charge, this film is a thrilling ride of surfing, skydiving, and philosophical musings on freedom. Discover why this action-packed spectacle remains a beloved piece of pop culture.
The film writers Robert Rubsam and Corey Atad join the show for a discussion of two apocalyptic nuclear thrillers, Sidney Lumet's Fail-Safe (1964) and Kathryn Bigelow's brand new Netflix production A House of Dynamite.Both Dr. Strangelove and Fail-Safe were released by Columbia Pictures within months of each other in 1964 (as the result of a lawsuit stemming from the respective novels the films were based on). The two films depict an accidental nuclear crisis from the perspective of command-and-control rooms helpless to prevent the impending bombing but Lumet's version is a serious critique of Game Theory from a humanist perspective, with the participation of creatives who had been caught up in the Hollywood Blacklist during the Cold War.Bigelow's modern version of such a tale of nuclear crisis, by contrast, has a lot less to say about the subject. We compare its structural shortcomings to Lumet's stark masterpiece, a film more plugged in to its zeitgeist than this new Netflix production is.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

13TH SEASON FINALE!!! In this exclusive episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast, we dive deep into the mind of W. Peter Iliff, the legendary screenwriter who brought one of the most iconic surf films of all time to life : Point Break. Written in the early 1990s and directed by Kathryn Bigelow, Point Break became a cultural phenomenon, blending the adrenaline of big-wave surfing with the raw energy of undercover crime and spiritual brotherhood. Peter shares the incredible story of how Point Break came to be from his early writing days in Los Angeles to the moment the film caught the attention of Hollywood. We talk about the creative process behind the screenplay, his collaboration with Bigelow, and how characters like Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) and Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) became timeless symbols of freedom, rebellion, and the search for meaning through surfing. Iliff opens up about the challenges of writing a movie that went beyond surf clichés and instead captured the soul of the ocean, the philosophy of living on the edge, and the spiritual bond among surfers and outlaws alike. We also discuss how Point Break continues to inspire generations of surfers, filmmakers, and dreamers more than 30 years later. From behind-the-scenes stories to the deeper message of "If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price," this episode explores why Point Break remains one of the greatest surf movies ever made, not just for its action, but for its heart. Peter also shares updates about his current projects, his reflections on Hollywood storytelling today, and his personal connection to the surf community that embraced Point Break as a spiritual anthem. Whether you're a surfer, a movie lover, or someone chasing your own wave in life, this conversation will remind you why the ocean and cinema are both places where truth and freedom collide. Tune in to The Temple of Surf Podcast and join me for a powerful, nostalgic, and inspiring journey through surf culture, art, and storytelling with one of the most influential screenwriters of our time.

Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark This year Halloween fell on a weekend . . . We've come to the end of the Halloween season. Two months of Vampire movies finds us ending on a cult favorite from the 1980s. In 1987 Kathryn Bigelow would direct her first solo-outing by re-imagining the Vampire film as a Neo-Western centered around a young couple and the family of vampires that haunt and terrorize a modern Southwest. Featuring Adrian Pasdar as Caleb Colton, a young man bitten and "turned" by the seductive Mae and his "adoption" into a troubling imagining on the traveling "nuclear family" including Bill Paxton, Jenette Goldstein, and Lance Henriksen. The film certainly has its problems however it is an assured and impressive debut directorial feature for Bigelow and captivating performances from her Vampire Family.

On this episode, we discuss how his students reacted to previous nuclear panic films like The Day After and Threads, what the new film from Bigelow and writer Noah Oppenheim gets right about the current state of our nuclear preparedness, and what keeps Tom up at night about the current White House's nuclear posture. You can read Tom's pieces on A House of Dynamite here and here, and he has another up about what the Trump White House doesn't understand about nuclear weapons here. You can read my review of the film here. And if you have thoughts, please sound off in the comments or share this episode with a friend!

In this episode of The Deep Dive, we trace the evolution of official UAP investigations—from the post-WWII hunt for wreckage to a radical conclusion reached by insiders: the phenomenon may be intrinsically tied to human consciousness.It begins in the early 1950s, when Canadian official Wilbert Smith discovered that the U.S. was already running a deeply classified program focused on flying saucers. In a sensitive memo, Smith noted that American authorities were interested not just in the craft—but in the mental phenomena associated with them. This wasn't a fringe idea. It was embedded in the earliest stages of secrecy.Smith named Dr. Vannevar Bush, the wartime science czar, as heading a small group studying the “modus operandi” of the saucers. Bush's involvement signaled that the highest levels of American science were taking the phenomenon seriously. Around the same time, Dr. Eric Walker, executive secretary of the Research and Development Board, admitted attending meetings about the recovery of a flying saucer and its occupants—reportedly stored at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. When asked about MJ-12, the legendary secret group, Walker said he'd known about them for 40 years.These early confirmations lend weight to the idea that crash retrievals and compartmented programs were real. But as the decades progressed, the investigation took a strange turn.In the 2000s, the U.S. government launched a new wave of UAP research. One of the most prominent was Robert Bigelow, who spent millions studying the phenomenon. While known for chasing hard evidence—exotic materials, reverse engineering—Bigelow also funded parapsychology research, including grants to Dean Radin in the 1990s.This dual interest led directly to the creation of AAWSAP—the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program with support from Senator Ted Stevens, AAWSAP received $22 million to study aerial phenomena, particularly those reported at Skinwalker Ranch.Under Bigelow's direction, buildings were reportedly modified to store recovered UAP materials. Luis Elizondo, a key figure in later disclosure efforts, claimed these materials were “metamaterials” with isotopic ratios not found on Earth—implying off-world origin.But the deeper shift came from James Lakatsky, who managed AAWSAP for the DIA. After years of research, Lakatsky concluded that physical phenomena were connected to psychic phenomena—and that consciousness played a crucial role.He defined the UAP as a technology that integrates physical and psychic elements, and that manipulates psychological and physiological parameters in the witness. In other words, the phenomenon doesn't just fly—it interacts with minds, tailoring experiences to individuals, and potentially influencing culture.Robert Bigelow echoed this in his “Theory of WOW View,” suggesting that the intelligence behind the phenomenon performs absurd, physically impossible acts to grab attention and challenge our assumptions. It's not just surveillance—it's messaging. Games. Performance art designed to break our reality framework.Tim Taylor, a high-level intelligence official, visited experiencer Chris Bledsoe not because Bledsoe was a threat—but because the phenomenon seemed to “like” him. It was communicating with Bledsoe, not the intel officers. This suggests that connection, intent, and consciousness matter.Jim Semivan, former CIA, described the truth as “indigestible.” He worried about how to explain to children that there's a force that can control the environment, insert thoughts, deceive, and that we're not in control. The fear isn't about technology—it's about existential collapse.This leads to a profound realization: the secrecy may not be about protecting advanced hardware, but about shielding humanity from a truth that could shatter our worldview. If the phenomenon is tied to consciousness, then our understanding of reality, free will, and identity is at stake.
From Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty, Point Break) comes her first feature film in in more than eight years and it might very well be THE scariest film of the year. :o The premise is simple: a lone nuclear missile has been launched from somewhere in the Pacific and is on a trajectory to land somewhere in the continental United States....in twenty minutes. This nuclear thriller takes us through the various corridors of power of the governernment and those in the most responsive positions in the military - we watch as they scramble not only how to figure out how to prevent this weapon from hitting its target, but also how our military should respond if it DOES hit its target, possibly resulting in the instant deaths of millions of civilians. It's a terrifying sceanario and Bigelow has assembled a top-flight cast lead by Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Tracey Letts, Gabriel Basso, Anthony Ramos, Greta Lee, and Jared Harris. The clock is ticking.....Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
In Kathryn Bigelow's new movie, A House of Dynamite, the clock is ticking. The film's fictional president of the United States has less than 20 minutes and very little information to decide whether or not to retaliate against a nuclear missile, launched at the United States, from an unknown source. As with Bigelow's other war movies, the story is disturbingly plausible. During the Cold War, the likely scenario was a war with the Soviet Union. Now there are nine nuclear powers, which makes the possibility of error, rogue actors, or a total information vacuum more likely. We talk with “A House of Dynamite” screenwriter Noah Oppenheim and Tom Nichols, a national-security writer at the Atlantic, who consulted on the movie.

Kathryn Bigelow's new A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE games out a scenario that filmmakers have been grappling with since the mid-20th century, in particular the year 1964, which saw the release of two very different classics of the nuclear-catastrophe genre: DR. STRANGELOVE, followed a few months later by the other half of this week's pairing, FAIL SAFE. If the bleak realism of Sidney Lumet's nuclear thriller made it a tougher sell to audiences back then, though, it also makes FAIL SAFE feel like a more fitting companion to Bigelow's film than its satirical predecessor. We're joined this week by critic and author Jason Bailey to discuss why FAIL SAFE still feels so immediately chilling decades removed from its Cold War context, and how Lumet makes a story that plays out mainly in a series of small rooms feel both grand in scope and human in focus. Then, in honor of our second Lumet feature in a row on this show, we turn Feedback over to a discussion of some of the prolific filmmaker's lesser-known works. Please share your thoughts about FAIL SAFE, A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, or anything else in the world of film by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson star in Kathryn Bigelow's gripping new Netflix film, A House of Dynamite, which imagines the urgent response to an unidentified missile launch against the United States. In this conversation with Joe Fryer, the actors reflect on portraying leaders caught in an extraordinary crisis, the film's haunting realism and Bigelow's immersive directing style. They also share how the story challenged them to confront questions of trust in leadership and nuclear threat. But above all, they agree the film offers something rare: hope.
