What does the American Dream sound like? In this special Fourth of July episode of Fritanga, host Antonio Tijerino sits down with one of the composers of that dream: Emilio Estefan. Long before he became a 19-time Grammy-winning producer, a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, and one of the most influential Latino cultural architects of our time, Emilio was an 11-year-old Cuban boy arriving in Miami with an accordion, no money, and a belief in something bigger. A belief in this country. In music. In himself.From creating the “Miami Sound” to launching the global careers of artists like Shakira, Ricky Martin, and Gloria Estefan, Emilio's story is one of hustle, heart, and the rhythm of possibility.In this episode, Antonio and Emilio dive into:Emilio's journey from Cuba to the global stageHow immigrant resilience redefined American musicWorking with legends—and fighting for Celia Cruz's comebackFatherhood and creative legacy with his daughter Emily EstefanNew projects including Raíces, Gloria Estefan's first Spanish album in nearly 20 yearsBASURA, the new Broadway-bound musical co-created by Emily and Gloria EstefanThis isn't just an interview—it's a love letter to culture, legacy, and what it means to build something lasting from nothing.WATCH: Click here to watch this and other episodes on YouTube. FOLLOW: Follow us on Insta @FritangaPodcastCONNECT: For questions or guest recommendations, email us at Fritanga@HispanicHeritage.orgFeatured Resources & Mentions:

What is there to say about South Dakota State running back Nate White's death, just over 24 hours after it was reported on Wednesday?The tragedy — with details yet public — rightfully hovers a cloud over the program, the FCS, and the regional sports scene, trivializing normal day-to-day events and hot sports topics.But "Nobody's Listening Anyway" hosts John Gaskins and Matt Zimmer make what they can about a 21-year-old transfer from Wisconsin who was expected to be the starter and gained a boatload of respect and adulation from his new teammates in Brookings.Before this shocking event, the top current issue regarding Jackrabbit Athletics was the looming decision to "opti in" (or not) to the NCAA-House Setttlement that allows schools to share revenue with athletes and changes the NIL model. As of the recording, athetlic director Justin Sell — who spoke on the topic for 90 minutes on Happy Hour last week — had yet to announce the decision, which comes with a June 30 deadline.John and Matt discuss why USD went all-in over a week ago and why SDSU is still mulling it over, not to mention why this might not be as big a deal at these mid-major schools as it is in Power Four leagues.This leads to reaction USD athletic director Jon Schemmel's remarks on Wednesday's Happy Hour about the lingering attendance struggles — with upticks in the past year, Schemmel said — at football and basketball games, and what would bring more fans, which leads to the latest discussion of attendance at for the Canaries, who have won 15 of their last 20 games, are 13-5 at The Birdcage, and sport the third-best record and the highest-scoring, hottest-hitting lineup in their league. 

For June's Bonus Episode, Caveman and Maggi go to South Beach to party at The Birdcage. This classic farce comedy, and is a perfect rewatch, funnier than you remember, and totally worth your time.

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing THE BIRDCAGE (1996), from a script by Elaine May and directed by Mike Nichols, the story is based on the play "La Cage Aux Folles" by Jean Poiret.  Armand Goldman (Robin Williams), the gay owner of a drag nightclub in South Beach, and his flamboyant partner and star performer Albert (Nathan Lane) agree to play it straight when Armand's son, Val (Dan Futterman) announces his engagement to the daughter of ultra-conservative Senator Keeley (Gene Hackman). Chaos and comedy ensue as the couple attempts to conceal their true identities during a dinner with their future in-laws. Ultimately, love and authenticity prevail as the truth is revealed and grudgingly accepted.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 57 m, is rated R and is currently streaming on Prime Video and Peacock but is also available to buy/rent on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#TheBirdcage #JeanPoiret #LaCageAuxFolles #MikeNichols #ElaineMay #RobinWilliams #Armand #NathanLane #Albert #DanFutterman #Val #HankAzaria #Agador #GeneHackman #SenatorKeeley #DianneWiest #Louise #CalistaFlockhart #Barbara #ChristineBaranski #Katharine #Comedy #Pride #LGBTQ+Stories  @Peacock  @PrimeVideo⁩  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

We've got wigs, mimosas, and drag debates—this week's episode of No More Late Fees is serving up pure ‘90s chaos! Jackie and Danielle welcome Jon and Ajay from The Delicious Recap, the podcast that breaks down Family Matters one iconic episode at a time. Together, the crew dives into the nostalgia pool with a riotous round of “Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down,” judging the drag performances of beloved '90s TV characters. From Wanda (Jamie Foxx) to Myrtle Urkel and even Ch-Ch-Ch-Chip and Dale in heels, no one is safe from scrutiny—and the fashion critiques are savage.But it's not all laughs and drill-powered pedicures. The group also digs into the cultural impact of Family Matters, the glory of Laura Winslow's teen queen energy, and why Stefan made everyone question everything.

Before RuPaul's Drag Race, there was The Birdcage—a 1996 comedy that gave us drag queens, dinner party disasters, and Robin Williams in a wifebeater.

THE BIRDCAGE Young engaged couple Val and Barbara bring their wildly different families together for one tense dinner. To win over Barbara's ultra-conservative father, Val's gay, club-owning dad Armand hides his drag queen partner Albert and pretends to embody straight-laced American values.

Beer-logo'd golf bags. Old school MTV veejays. The Dead Guys of the Week — Brian Wilson and Sly Stone — and their place in music and pop culture history.Matt Zimmer and John Gaskins tried their best to kick around fun and breezy topics to avoid that dreaded summer buzz kill — The NCAA-House Settlement and where schools like SDSU and USD fit into it.But eventually, the hosts of the weekly "Nobody's Listening Anyway" podcast got down to busines at Gateway Lounge. What does this darn thing mean and what really matters to the college football fans of the Dakotas and the FCS?What's also exhausting and confusing is if SDSU, USD, and NDSU will opt in or not, and what the competitive advantages and disadvantages would immediately be no matter what that choice is.Over his ice cold Bud Light on tap, Zimmer — who, like most, is blurry-eyed from the deluge of reports and details about the Settlemen and what schools are doing about it — boils things down to the simplest and most straightforward of terms, including what SDSU football coach Dan Jackson makes of it.Also, what is the bigger picture of the Sioux Falls Storm in the wake of head coach Andre Fields's resignation this week? Is this a sign the team may never come back? Why and how did it lose its hold on both its league and the springtime sports fans of Sioux Falls?Also, some Twins Talk — Bailey Ober's injury, Buxton's boom, Wallner's emergence — and a few words about the University of Sioux Falls' new logo, which leads to the rabbit hole of SDSU and USD logos and sports team logos, in general.On the way out, a word about "Tacos and Tequila," the upcoming hip-hop festival at The Birdcage, and Matt's new pickup truck. And his way to drive a pickup.

Fresh off The Amazing Spider-Man sequel, Andrew Garfield wanted to star in something different, and he chose an indie film that criticizes the Hollywood lifestyle. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. This was the third film for David Robert Mitchell, director of the critically-acclaimed horror film It Follows. Under the Silver Lake follows an aimless millennial slacker named Sam who believes there's a gigantic conspiracy going on in Los Angeles, and the general populace is ignorant to it. The disappearance of a female neighbor named Sarah (portrayed by Riley Keough) sparks his urge to explore the deep seedy depths of the City of Angels. What will Sam find in this Hitchock-inspired suspense-thriller?

I have never seen Robin Williams in a role like this, and that's actually a good thing... He playing a role he's never done about a character who's trying to keep up with a facade they've never had to. The irony. Enjoy, people.

There are four Democratic candidates for two open seats on the Philipstown Town Board - Ben Cheah, John Maasik, Nat Prentice and Ned Rauch. They will compete in a primary on June 24 for the two Democratic lines on the general-election ballot in November. Cheah and Rauch, who were endorsed by the Philipstown Democratic Committee, also filed independent nominating petitions and will appear on the November ballot on the Philipstown Focus party line regardless of the primary outcome. There are no candidates from other parties. We asked each candidate to answer four questions in a total of 500 words or less. The responses are below, presented in alphabetical order by last name. For information on voting and a link to reader endorsements, see below. What in your background makes you the best candidate? Ben Cheah: I believe that a great board member brings passion, dedication, teamwork and expertise - and I'll bring all of that to the Philipstown board. Ten years ago, my wife Megan and I chose to raise our two sons in Philipstown. We love this community and feel lucky to call it home. Both of us have always been active volunteers. I've served on the Philipstown Recreation Commission, Cold Spring Planning Board (current), as Cub Scouts Pack 137 treasurer and on the Putnam County Industrial Development Agency board. Running for Town Board feels like a natural next step - one I'm genuinely passionate about. I'm especially focused on the challenges of rising costs and tightening budgets. I plan to be hands-on with budgeting and long-term planning to help keep costs and taxes under control. I bring to the table an MBA in finance from New York University's Stern School of Business; 25 years of project management and executive experience in the film and TV industry; and a strong creative background in sound design for film, with credits on Men in Black, The Big Lebowski, The Birdcage and The Wire. John Maasik: I've lived in Philipstown for over 20 years: 10 in Cold Spring and 10 in Garrison, where my wife and I raised our two sons. I've spent thousands upon thousands of hours volunteering with community-based organizations, including the Philipstown Recreation Commission, Philipstown Soccer Club, Friends of Philipstown Recreation and Scouting America, in addition to participating in the Haldane turf field effort and the Garrison School Safety Committee. I also helped launch events such as the Castle-to-River Run and Winter Carnival, raising thousands in non-taxpayer dollars and donations for town programs. These efforts have helped me build strong relationships across Cold Spring, Continental Village, Garrison and Nelsonville. Professionally, I've led large teams and managed multimillion-dollar budgets in the private sector, experiences that have shaped my ability to listen carefully, act with integrity and lead without ego. The values that guide me most deeply come from my family's story. My parents were Estonian refugees who fled Soviet occupation after my grandfather was killed by the Russians. My grandmother brought her three children to the U.S. in search of safety, freedom and a new beginning. I was raised with a deep respect for civic responsibility, community and the promise of American democracy. Nat Prentice: Experience, experience, experience. I have had a career in finance and investments. I grew up in Garrison and moved back here 25 years ago. Since moving back, I have attended most of the Town Board's monthly meetings, so I know the commitment that is required to address Philipstown's challenges and opportunities. I helped create the Town's 2007 Comprehensive Plan, and in 2018 I was appointed chair of the Comprehensive Plan Committee that published an update adopted in 2021. Working on the plan meant partnering with a multitude of people from the North Highlands to Continental Village. I know the town's goals and priorities really well. In addition, I work with emergency services (commissioner, Garrison Fire District; me...

In this episode, we wrap up our April selections with the 1996 comedy from director Mike Nichols, "The Birdcage", starring Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, Diane Wiest and Hank Azaria! Listen now!

We do an eclectic celebration of the dance — and we do NOT keep it all inside! There's plenty of love in the studio for THE BIRDCAGE, both one of the funniest comedies of the '90s and one of the most successful. We expected the laughs; we didn't expect so many feelings! (We don't really have any recommendations this week; we talk about movies, but no one was particularly crazy about any of them. All of our love is for The Birdcage.)

Vinny and Grayson return with a chaotic medley of home hacks, parenting takes, movie critiques, and cosmic questions. They cover everything from dehumidifier strategies and the haunting of Leo the Lion to whether Katy Perry qualifies as an astronaut (spoiler: she doesn't). Grayson dives into the beauty of The Birdcage and space philosophy, while Vinny fixates on charcoal bags, lemonade stands, and his daughter's toy that might be spreading digestive misinformation. Also discussed: broken washing machines, billionaire space tourism, cursed baked goods, and the MCU's multiverse melting into nonsense. This episode includes: – DIY air quality tips and fan automation via smart plug – Grapes + milk = gastrointestinal terrorism – Home appliance rants: commercial > consumer – Parenting lessons from body cam footage – Marvel incursions and the Illuminati's comic book roots – Katy Perry's space tourism PR disaster – Street food trust issues and nostalgic apple slicers – The strange brilliance of The Birdcage and Gene Hackman's filmography Find out more at https://slightly-biased.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Movie of the Year: 1996The Birdcage (feat. Andrea Thompson from A Reel Of One's Own!)The Movie of the Year podcast takes a deep dive into The Birdcage (1996), a groundbreaking comedy that blends family dynamics, farce, and fearless LGBTQ+ representation. In this episode, the hosts explore how The Birdcage helped shift mainstream perceptions of queerness in the '90s, all while delivering standout performances from Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, and showcasing the directorial mastery of Mike Nichols. Whether you're watching the film for the first time or revisiting it, this episode offers a thoughtful and engaging look at why The Birdcage continues to matter.Listen to the episode now:[Podcast Player Embed Here]Gender, Sexuality, and Queer Representation in The BirdcageThe podcast opens with an in-depth discussion of how The Birdcage portrays gender and sexuality with both humor and dignity. At a time when LGBTQ+ characters were often relegated to the margins of pop culture, The Birdcage celebrated queer life, drag culture, and same-sex relationships. The hosts explore the film's role in pushing boundaries and normalizing visibility, particularly in a cultural moment still defined by Don't Ask, Don't Tell and lingering AIDS-era stigma.Robin Williams in One of His Most Subtle, Heartfelt RolesKnown for his exuberant performances, Robin Williams delivers one of his most emotionally restrained roles as Armand Goldman. The podcast explores how Williams balances warmth, wit, and gravitas, crafting a character who is both deeply human and quietly revolutionary. The hosts compare this performance to Williams' other work from the '90s and consider how his presence lends the film emotional credibility and depth.Mike Nichols' Directing BrillianceDirector Mike Nichols adapts the French farce La Cage aux Folles into a uniquely American satire, using timing, character dynamics, and visual composition to heighten both comedy and emotional impact. The hosts break down Nichols' directing choices, from rapid-fire dialogue to carefully choreographed scenes, showing how his vision shapes the film's tone and political commentary.Is The Birdcage Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts?One of the most spirited conversations in the episode centers on whether The Birdcage works because of its individual elements—such as the writing, performances, and production design—or because those elements merge into something greater. The hosts highlight iconic scenes like the chaotic dinner party and the nightclub sequences to show how the film achieves synergy between script, performance, and direction.Identity and the Meaning of LifeBeyond its sharp humor, The Birdcage asks deep questions about identity, authenticity, and acceptance. The hosts analyze the tension between performance and reality, especially in the context of Armand and Val's relationship, and explore how characters navigate the pressures of conformity and family expectations. This section connects the film to broader philosophical ideas about the meaning of life, love, and self-expression.Special Guest: Andrea Thompson from A Reel Of Our OwnJoining the discussion is film critic Andrea Thompson, founder of A Reel Of Our Own, a platform dedicated to amplifying marginalized voices in film. Andrea brings a fresh critical perspective to the episode, exploring how The Birdcage portrays queer identity with compassion, nuance, and humor. She also discusses the film's lasting influence on LGBTQ+ media and its place in queer film history.How The Birdcage Holds Up in 2024The podcast team revisits The Birdcage...

Today, Ali and Asif discuss the career of the late Gene Hackman (2:04).  They discuss his early life, getting into acting and his friendship with Dustin Hoffman and Robert Duvall. They  also discuss Hackman's other interests including architecture and writing. Asif and Ali then discuss their favourite Gene Hackman roles including in the movies ‘Superman', ‘Hoosiers', ‘Crimson Tide', ‘Unforgiven', ‘The Royal Tenenbaums' and ‘The Birdcage'.    Then, Asif and ALi discuss the details of the untimely deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife and caregiver, Betsy Arakawa (27:54). Because Ms. Arakawa died of hantavirus infection, Ali then asks Asif about this rare infection and how it is transmitted by exposure to rodent droppings. Asif discusses how people contract it, how common it is and where in North American you can be exposed to it. He then discusses the two serious forms of the disease –  hantavirus pulmonary syndrome and hantavirus renal syndrome. He then goes over the treatment and the prevention of the disease. Finally the guys discuss the importance of recognizing caregiver burnout.    The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.

Interview with Dan Noone, CEO of G2 Goldfields Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/g2-goldfields-tsxvgtwo-guyana-gold-explorer-preps-strategic-split-asset-sale-6550Recording date: 10th March 2025G2 Goldfields has announced a significant achievement with its latest mineral resource estimation showing over 3 million ounces of gold at its Oko-Aremu project in Guyana. This marks the company's third resource update, steadily growing from just over 1 million ounces in its first estimation to now exceeding 3 million ounces.The company completed 59,000 meters of drilling last year, primarily at the Ghanie deposit, successfully connecting previously separate zones into a continuous 2.5-kilometer mineralized shear zone. The project features two distinct mineralization styles: the high-grade OKO Main Zone, where shears 3, 4, and 5 contain approximately 960,000 ounces averaging 9 g/t gold, and the Ghanie deposit with both high-grade footwall zones (7 g/t) and disseminated hanging wall mineralization (1 g/t).CEO Dan Noone highlighted the project's robust nature regardless of cut-off grade parameters, stating, "The deposit isn't sensitive to cut-off grade... The ounces always seem to be there; it doesn't really matter what parameters we put in."The project demonstrates excellent metallurgical performance with gold recoveries averaging 98.5% at OKO Main Zone and 94.2% at Ghanie, with no problematic elements present in the mineralization. This clean metallurgical profile makes the deposit well-suited for gravity recovery methods, potentially reducing both capital and operating expenses.G2 Goldfields is currently operating two drill rigs targeting higher-grade zones at depth and along strike. Recent drilling has shown promising results, with visible gold observed in step-out holes. The company is also exploring additional targets including OKO North and an area called Birdcage.With approximately $37 million in cash, G2 is well-funded for continued exploration without requiring additional financing. AngloGold Ashanti holds nearly 15% ownership in the company, and multiple mining companies have reviewed their data room under active non-disclosure agreements, suggesting potential acquisition interest.The proximity to G Mining's neighboring project creates potential synergies that could be attractive to acquirers. Noone noted, "It's obvious to anybody that this is really one big 5-kilometer long deposit... not much different to the Kalgoorlie Super Pit which had three mines on it, or Red Lake, or Kirkland Lake. And so there's obvious synergies here."Looking ahead to 2025, Noone hopes to see gold prices remain strong above $3,000 per ounce and make additional discoveries along the main shear trend comparable to OKO Main Zone or Ghanie.View G2 Goldfields' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/g2-goldfieldsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
