Host Siebe Vanderzee interviews career strategist Curt Sassak, a former award-winning chef who lived and workedin seven countries and reinvented his life around age 40 after losing passion,feeling bored despite “success on paper,” and turning to excessive alcohol.Curt explains how identity can outlive its usefulness, and how COVID—while he was running a wine and spirits company—pushed him to become “unf*ckwithable” by building skills, hiring coaches, and creating more self-sufficiency. He shareslessons including the Jurassic Park effect (repeating the same career move expecting a different result), the Olive Garden effect (looking polished externally while feeling empty), the Blockbuster Video effect (what made you successful can keep you stuck), treating career transitions like a recipe with interdependent ingredients, and that staying put can be the biggest career risk. He also discusses self-awareness, overthinking, and using AI as a thinking partner rather than for judgment calls. 00:00 Curt Sassak - Career -WIP09:15 Lesson 1: The Jurassic Park Effect11:38 Lesson 2: The Olive Garden Effect13:21 Lesson 3: The Blockbuster Video Effect17:13 Lesson 4: The Recipe Effect24:43 Lesson 5: The Biggest Career Risk

THE DEVIL'S LEDGER Week of September 8, 2026 MISTRIAL. After seven weeks of testimony and roughly 36 hours of deliberations, the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has ended with a hung jury in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Eleven jurors reportedly favored finding Clancy not criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children. One juror disagreed, and Judge William Sullivan ultimately declared a mistrial. So what happens now? Potentially, we do the whole thing again. A deadlocked jury generally does not trigger the double-jeopardy protection that would prevent prosecutors from retrying the case, leaving open the possibility of another trial, a negotiated resolution, or whatever comes next in a case that has already generated an extraordinary amount of public attention. We'll keep following it. In the meantime, I suppose we'll have to wait for whichever juror signs the first book deal. THE CREEPIEST THING I HEARD THIS WEEK THE MASKED MENACE — CAUGHT Remember our masked friend from Philadelphia? A few weeks ago, we told you about a man roaming Center City Philadelphia in a disturbing white doll mask, approaching and chasing strangers and generally turning the morning commute into the opening ten minutes of a slasher movie. Now we have an ending. Authorities identified the suspect as 22-year-old Zymire Hughes, who police say harassed or terrorized more than fifteen people on August 12. In one particularly disturbing encounter, he allegedly approached a woman near JFK Boulevard and repeatedly asked her, “Are you ready to die?” Hughes subsequently traveled from the Philadelphia area to Orlando and then Las Vegas. Newly released body-camera footage shows Las Vegas police and U.S. Marshals closing in on an apartment where authorities believed he was hiding. On August 25, the Nevada Violent Offender Task Force surrounded the complex. Hughes came out. The mask did not. And perhaps the strangest detail of all is that investigators have suggested at least some of this behavior may have been intended for social-media content. Which raises the possibility that the mask wasn't worn because someone didn't want to be recognized. Maybe it was worn because he wanted to be watched. A generation ago, if somebody put on a horrifying mask and started chasing strangers through downtown Philadelphia, we'd ask: What the hell is wrong with this guy? In 2026, apparently we have to ask another question: Was he doing it for the algorithm? That's the Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week. THIS WEEK ON THE DEVIL WITHIN THE NEW MONSTERS: ALLIGATORS IN THE SEWERS This week's installment of The New Monsters deals with one of my favorite urban myths of all time. Growing up in Northern New Jersey, Manhattan was right across the river, and for a kid in the 1980s it represented both sides of the cultural coin. It was the stuff of dreams—hip-hop, graffiti, Basquiat, clubs and the feeling that practically everything interesting in America was happening over there. It was also the stuff of nightmares. This was the New York of Son of Sam, abandoned buildings, graffiti-covered subway cars and an underground world that seemed to begin at the bottom of every subway staircase and continue forever beneath Manhattan. And somewhere down there were the alligators. At least where I grew up, nobody presented this as folklore. Somebody bought a baby alligator in Florida, brought it back to New York, discovered that baby alligators have the annoying habit of becoming adult alligators, and flushed it down the toilet. Then it grew to twelve feet long beneath Manhattan and lived on rats. Obviously. The adults told us this stuff. We didn't invent it. This week on The New Monsters, we're breaking down where the legend came from, the real alligators discovered in New York, the bizarre trade in baby alligators as Florida souvenirs and the stories of legendary sewer superintendent Teddy May that helped turn an isolated reptile into an entire subterranean population. And here's the surprising part: It's not as crazy as you might think. The giant albino colonies are another matter. THIS WEEK ON CRIMINAL MISCHIEF BAD BLOOD: THE HATFIELDS AND THE McCOYS Over on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio rolls up her sleeves and heads into one of the most famous family feuds in American history: the Hatfields and the McCoys. Long before reality television discovered that Americans would happily spend an hour watching two families scream at one another, the Hatfields and McCoys were doing it with considerably higher stakes. The feud unfolded along the Kentucky–West Virginia border in the decades following the Civil War and became so deeply embedded in American folklore that the family names themselves became shorthand for any argument that has gone on so long nobody can quite remember why everyone is still angry. But beneath the mythology were real people, real politics, property disputes, murder and revenge. Carolyn separates the history from the caricature this week in Bad Blood, on Criminal Mischief. THIS WEEK ON THE SLIPPERY Scott and Nancy are taking the Labor Day holiday off this week, no doubt researching another scammer, fraudster or human-shaped warning label whose story will eventually have you stopping halfway through the episode to Google: “Wait... is this actually real?” They'll be back next week. Hang in there. THIS WEEK IN HORROR ONSLAUGHT This week in horror, ONSLAUGHT, the new R-rated action-horror movie from director Adam Wingard, gives us an Army sniper veteran forced to unleash everything she knows when a rogue squad of genetically engineered super-soldiers threatens her young daughter. And if that sounds gloriously like somebody discovered an unproduced screenplay behind a Blockbuster Video in 1989 and decided to spend actual money making it nearly four decades later, you understand why it made this week's Ledger. Genetically engineered super-soldiers. Army sniper mom. Dan Stevens. Michael freaking Biehn. I'm not sure what else you people want from me. Onslaught is in theaters now. ACROSS THE EVIO UNIVERSE That's it for this week's Devil's Ledger. Happy September, everybody. We survived August, Labor Day is behind us, football is back, playoff baseball is approaching, and somewhere out there somebody has already ordered a pumpkin-spice latte while it's still ninety-four degrees outside.

Two brothers embark on a spooktacular journey playing horror video games old and new to decide whether they're scary enough to earn a permanent spot in your grindhouse collection or if they deserve to be buried in a shallow grave behind Blockbuster Video.

J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you, Alan Friedman, what is the BIGGEST RISK?   Alan Fruitman The biggest risk is what comes next. I'll call it the unknown. So we live in a world of the internet, Amazon, artificial intelligence, and I think the biggest risk is trying to really understand and make value judgments of what's coming next? What tenants will be here? Blockbuster Video disappeared. It's no longer needed. The world evolved, and it's no longer needed. So I mentioned a lot of tenants through this podcast. Which ones will be here in 10 years, 20 years, 30 years? What will AI replace? What will Amazon replace? Well, let's go back to McDonald's. When you're driving down the street in this year 2046, 20 years from now, are you still going to be hungry and not be able to order it online and now? Delivered on your lap when you're between appointments and need to catch a quick meal, I think so. If you're if you're Firestone Tire, Amazon can deliver tires to you in your garage, but who's going to put them on? So I think there's certain industries that will pass the test of time. Will Walgreens be here in 20 years? I don't know. Amazon delivers pharmaceuticals, and and other companies deliver. Mark Cuban as a delivery company for pharmaceuticals, and others will do more and more of that. So I think understanding what comes next and making value judgments in my world-that's the risk we need to be prepared for.   https://1031tax.com/

It's Marvel Monday and meet Marvel's most powerful hero! ABOUT CAPTAIN MARVEL Carol Danvers becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CAPTAIN MARVEL March 8, 2019 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF CAPTAIN MARVEL Directors: Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck Writers: Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck, Geneva Robertson-Dworet Cast: Brie Larson as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS Carol Danvers is living her best amnesia life on the Kree homeworld of Hala under the name Vers. Got it? Good.  She's got superpowers, cool space suits, and a mentor named Yon-Rogg who constantly tells her to stop feeling. The Kree government, which is basically run by a giant AI lady, insists that the evil shape-shifting Skrulls ruined her life and since Carol remembers absolutely nothing, so she just rolls with it. While on a mission to rescue a Kree spy, things immediately go sideways. The Skrulls capture Carol and start digging around in her memories, discovering that she used to be an Air Force pilot on Earth. Their leader Talos becomes very interested in a scientist named Dr. Wendy Lawson and a mysterious light-speed engine. Carol escapes before they get all the answers and crash-lands straight into a Blockbuster Video in 1995 Los Angeles. Her arrival gets the attention of a young Nick Fury, who still has two working eyes and spends most of this movie being confused. After a series of chases, explosions, and Skrulls impersonating anyone they want, Carol starts uncovering pieces of her past. She learns that she wasn't born on Hala at all—she was an Air Force pilot presumed dead after a crash years earlier. As Carol & Nick follow the breadcrumbs, she reconnects with her old friend Maria and Maria's daughter Monica, who are understandably shocked to discover their dead friend is actually a space superhero. Meanwhile, Talos finally reveals that the Skrulls aren't conquering villains at all—they're refugees looking for a home. Turns out the Kree may not have been entirely honest. The biggest bombshell comes when Carol remembers what really happened. Dr. Lawson was actually Mar-Vell, a Kree scientist secretly helping the Skrulls. Shes killed while taking control of an experimental energy source. Carol destroyed the engine to keep it from the Kree, absorbed its energy in the explosion, gained incredible powers, and then had her memories erased so the Kree could turn her into a weapon. The gang tracks down Mar-Vell's hidden space laboratory, where a bunch of Skrull refugees have been hiding. Unfortunately, Starforce shows up, the Kree try to reassert control, and Carol gets dragged before the Supreme Intelligence. She destroys the device limiting her powers and finally goes full Captain Marvel. What follows is a one-sided beatdown thanks to Captain marvel.  With the Skrulls safe for the moment, Carol decides to head off into space to help them find a permanent home. Before leaving, she gives Fury a special pager for emergencies. Fury later loses his eye in an incident involving Goose - a cat who is actually an alien who is also holding the Tesseract in its tummy. Looking at Carol's old Air Force call sign, he lands on the perfect name: The Avengers Initiative. In the mid-credits scene, the pager goes off and Carol returns to Earth Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

A visit to Blockbuster Video used to be the ultimate Friday night trip, but today, that blue and yellow ticket is a legal battleground for intangible assets. In this episode of The Pre-Read, we unearth the true drivers of company valuation, from nostalgic trademarks to proprietary AI.  "The question isn't whether Blockbuster was famous. It's whether it's famous enough now for trademark law to care in the same way." —Ivan Moreno  Guest spotlight: Ivan Moreno, senior reporter at Law360®, breaks down the Blockbuster trademark case against a Mississippi animal feed company. He discusses why heritage brands must fight to stay legally relevant even when they no longer lead the market.  Then Alana Chartier, Sustainability Analyst at Workiva, explains the $81 trillion blind spot in global company valuation. She argues that a 21st-century economy cannot run on 20th-century reporting systems that classify human capital and AI as costs instead of assets.  Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction  03:30 The Blockbuster trademark case vs. Southern Seed and Feed  05:40 Dilution by blurring: Can you protect a legacy name?  08:30 Accounting for brand value: Acquisition vs. internal builds  11:00 Reputation as a corporate credit score  18:40 The orchard analogy: Why we only count the fruit  21:30 Integrated reporting: Connecting financial and non-financial data  Subscribe to catch all upcoming episodes of The Pre-Read.

My first job was at Blockbuster Video, so I had to try Retro Rewind: Video Store Simulator. The Metaverse is no longer in VR - according to Meta - they are moving Horizon Worlds off of VR and onto mobile. Nvidia announced DLSS 5 and a vocal part of the internet rallied against it...but what about the majority that aren't terminally online? Bethesda reacted to the reactions and said they would be looking at the tech more before implementing it. Then we talk to DarkSakura about generative AI and where it might be able to be used ethically.

Earlier this week we had an all 1986 playlist when we were broadcasting from American Legion post 86...today we went back to 1986 for the top Blockbuster Video rentals!

This episode originally broadcast on March 19, the original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/03/binary-system-podcast-498-wtnv-284-harrison-kips-twilight-gospel-hour/Cecil and Night Vale Radio both get a break this week (aside from a couple of Station ID's and a long list of "supporters"). Instead, we hear the soothing tones of Harrison Kip as he gives the listeners a little taste of his weird religion with a not-really-well-defined god, and some oddly specific commandments. (Look, I'll go along with the "no forks" rule, since chopsticks are still a thing, but I'll give up my mason jars repurposed into drinking glasses when hell freezes over.)After the recap we reveal the surprising news that Beastars is back! (Well, it was surprising to us anyway. Don't look to this podcast for breaking news because we're way behind the curve.) We also talk a little about the results of this year's Oscar winners, some weirdness from the Comic-Con administration, and how our taste in classic anime can be summed up as "whatever was available to rent at Blockbuster Video in the 90's."This episode's outro is a clip from Spiral Flight by TeknoAXE.Correction: the day before this podcast aired we FINALLY got word from Comic-Con that we're approved for WonderCon passes. Nothing like waiting till the week before the convention to find out, wow.It can be really easy to slip into doom and despair at the state of the world right now, but there are things you can do to help.

Would you give up a leg for two more arms and a wheel for a foot? What bar would you spit if you had to rhyme with the line "I've got a cat and it is orange?" SQ MINI BLOG 004 Basically, I found a blog in the woods under a log covered in iridescent mushrooms. I ate the whole log and suddenly a dot matrix printout emerged from my mouth containing a story from my memory sack (look it up). This is the fourth one: In college I worked at a Blockbuster Video movie rental place. Wow, what a difference! That was their slogan. I was the closing manager working on a Friday night with my good friend and disgusting Customer Service Representative Justin. It had been pretty steady, but business was dying down. Thank GOD, too, because we'd almost rented all 78 copies of My Best Friend's Wedding! Jkjk we had not. The door dinged "dong" as it does and a slender bleach blonde future elf walks in wearing a metallic looking puffy coat and asks if she needs an ID to get a membership card. I watched from the manager's area as Justin told her that she did need an ID, and as he did, a bright white stream of smoke slyly escaped her silver sleeve. Justin turned his head slightly to meet my eyes. She said, "okay, I'll come back" and slipped into the night. We were too stunned to reply. "What the fuck was that?" I asked.  "Did you see that?" "That smoke? Uh, yeah. What was it?" Justin shook his head. "No idea." "What did it smell like?" "Absolutely nothing." END TRANSMISSION    

This is the Bricks & Bytes Executive Weekly Briefing. ~20 minutes. Every week. The only construction briefing built from real conversations with the people making the decisions.A VP at a multi-billion-dollar US contractor told me this week that our industry is in its Blockbuster Video moment. Peak profitability, record volumes, and completely blind to what's coming. After everything I heard this week, I'm struggling to argue with him.In this briefing: UK construction activity collapses (starts down 31%, awards down 43%). Procore/Datagrid Q4 Earnings and bets the company on agentic AI. Autodesk drops $200M on spatial intelligence.

Business can be a tricky thing - which is why half of all businesses fail within 5 years. They have to pivot quickly, and respond to market changes and customer expectations. But one thing that will only confuse everyone and lead to poor business is mission creep. Mission creep is when an entity's goals gradually expand beyond it's original goal, becoming too complex, inappropriately stretching resources and making the organization functionally irrelevant. A great example is Blockbuster Video. Their mission statement was "To be the global leader in rentable home entertainment by providing outstanding service, selection, convenience and value." At one time, "getting a video at Blockbuster" was the way to spend a Saturday night. Now, barely anyone remembers the stores - and worse - doesn't miss the services they provided because of streaming video. Blockbuster could have led the way, because streaming would have been so much more efficient. But they forgot their mission. Forgetting the mission for the Church is costly. The mission was, is, and always will be people. People loved by God, and by implication, loved by his Redeemed ones. But if we learn anything from 2,000 years of history, it's that mission creep is EASY to do. Listen in on this interesting take on how Jesus meant for us to keep the mission The Mission.▶️ Nate's Message on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/ytp4e3df

What if the movies you remember from childhood… never actually existed?The ones you swear you saw — on a worn-out VHS tape from Blockbuster — with a wild plot, bad dubbing, and a cover burned into your brain…But no one else remembers them.This week, we rewind to a stranger era — a time when movie aisles stretched like cathedrals of neon light, and every clamshell box whispered something incredible.The age of the VHS fever dream.Together, we'll explore the blurred line between the real and the imagined—those low-budget, high-sincerity flicks that defied logic, physics, and probably every copyright law known to man.Some of the movies we describe this week are 100% real.Some are completely fake.And the challenge?You have to figure out which is which.

Most of us live two lives: the one we live, and the one we haven't yet unlocked. In this thought-provoking episode, host Wes Young and co-host Justin Lakin explore the concept of the "unlived life" within each of us, inspired by Steven Pressfield's The War of Art. Through personal stories, like Wes's journey from a Blockbuster Video employee to a successful business leader, they illustrate how embracing the gap between where we are and where we want to be can fuel growth, happiness, and impact. Listeners will learn how to: Define a "rich life" that you don't want to retire from Use gratitude and ambition as dual fuel for purpose-driven progress Create a 90-day action plan that aligns with your long-term goals Guide clients in meaningful conversations about their life's vision And more!

The church is so much more than a building—but when it comes to managing the physical property of church real estate, we often overlook the great good that can emerge from the land and structures. In this episode, social entrepreneur, strategic executive, and author Mark Elsdon joins Mark Labberton on Conversing to explore how churches and faith communities can reimagine their assets—land, buildings, and money—as instruments for mission, community transformation, and spiritual flourishing. From his decades of work at Pres House in Madison, Wisconsin, to his role as consultant, author, and co-leader of RootedGood, Elsdon shares stories of innovation, courage, and the hard but hopeful work of repurposing property and resources for God's mission in the world. Episode Highlights “It isn't about property, nor is it about money. It's about people's lives and it's about God's work in people's lives.” “We often have the faith of our forebears in the church. But the question is, do we have the courage of them?” “I don't think God's going away. I don't think God's declining. But the way people are engaging their faith is really changed and is changing.” “Sometimes I talk about this as like the Blockbuster Video moment… People still want experiences of the divine. They just don't want to access it primarily on a Sunday morning.” “Constraints can produce creativity and, in the life of faith, can also produce a willingness to trust.” Helpful Links and Resources Mark Elsdon's Website *We Aren't Broke: Uncovering Hidden Resources for Mission and Ministry,* by Mark Elsdon *Gone for Good? Negotiating the Coming Wave of Church Property Transition,* by Mark Elsdon RootedGood - resources for congregations, judicatories, and other church leaders related to social enterprise and church property Good Futures Accelerator course How-To Guides Threshold Sacred Development - A mission-aligned property development company focused on supporting churches doing community-oriented development About Mark Elsdon Mark Elsdon lives and works at the intersection of money and meaning as an entrepreneur, non-profit executive, author, and speaker. He is the author of We Aren't Broke: Uncovering Hidden Resources for Mission and Ministry (2021) and editor of Gone for Good? Negotiating the Coming Wave of Church Property Transition (2024). In addition to his role as a director with RootedGood, Mark is also executive director at Pres House, where he led the transformation of a dormant non-profit into a growing, vibrant, multi-million-dollar organization. Mark has a BA in psychology from the University of California–Berkeley, a master of divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, and an MBA from the University of Wisconsin School of Business. He is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church, USA, and lives in Madison, Wisconsin. Mark is an avid cyclist and considers it a good year when he rides more miles on his bike than he drives in his car. Show Notes Mark Elsdon reflects on thirty years of ministry, beginning with campus work at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Launch of a $17 million student housing project that became a transformative ministry for thousands of students. Elsdon's discovery: “It isn't about property, nor is it about money. It's about people's lives and it's about God's work in people's lives.” Creation of a sober housing program at Pres House that has saved the state of Wisconsin more than a million dollars in addiction-related costs. Innovative blend of mission, ministry, and real estate development to foster student flourishing. The unique impact of housing students in recovery alongside the wider student population. Elsdon's MBA studies at UW–Madison and his calling at the intersection of money and mission. The “Blockbuster Video moment” for American Christianity: people still seek meaning, community, and transcendence, but not in traditional formats. Challenges churches face with aging buildings, declining attendance, and financial strain. How repurposing property reveals new opportunities for mission and ministry. RootedGood's “Good Futures” Accelerator course: helping churches rethink land, buildings, and resources for social enterprise and revenue generation. Example of two congregations in Madison merging to create an environmentally sustainable multifamily housing project and community center. Redefining church property as community space: “flipping the script” so the building belongs to the neighborhood, with the church as anchor tenant. Courage, risk-taking, and letting go of past models are essential for churches to reimagine their future. The critical role of pastoral and lay leadership in sparking change and vision. Storytelling as central to church renewal: “We often have the faith of our forebears in the church. But the question is, do we have the courage of them?” Learning from the pandemic: every church has the capacity for innovation and adaptation. Honouring grief and loss while embracing resurrection hope in church property transitions. Example from San Antonio: members resisted redevelopment until their need for funerals in the sanctuary was acknowledged—turning “either/or” into “both/and.” Affordable housing crisis intersects directly with church land opportunities. Turner Center study: California churches and colleges hold land equal to five Oaklands suitable for affordable housing development. Elsdon warns against cookie-cutter “models” and emphasizes local context, story, and creativity. Forecast: up to 100,000 church properties in the US may be sold or repurposed in the next decade. Elsdon's hope: more repurposing than selling, with land and buildings becoming assets for life-giving mission. The value of constraints: “Constraints can produce creativity and, in the life of faith, can also produce a willingness to trust.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

In response to CBS's announcement that Stephen Colbert's late night talk show had been canceled, Jon Stewart railed against the network and its parent company, Paramount, accusing them of prioritizing an $8 billion merger with Skydance and political appeasement over the value of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.  Stewart argues that the decision was more political than economic, although he admits that the Colbert show was not cost-effective and outdated, comparing it to Blockbuster Video and Tower Records. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger mock Stewart's diatribe, noting that he has long played the role of establishment insider pushing dominant narratives about the Ukraine War, COVID and any number of other topics. Plus segments on Tulsi Gabbard's explosive Russiagate accusations against President Obama and Rep. Thomas Massie pushing back hard against Speaker Mike Johnson and President Trump to get the Epstein files released. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

Tune in for the final full episode of Season 11 of the Case Closed podcast, where we're serializing the audiobook edition of The Night Shift by Alex Finlay. It's New Year's Eve 1999. Y2K is expected to end in chaos: planes falling from the sky, elevators plunging to earth, world markets collapsing. A digital apocalypse. None of that happens. But at a Blockbuster Video in New Jersey, four teenagers working late at the store are attacked. Only one inexplicably survives. Police quickly identify a suspect, the boyfriend of one of the victims, who flees and is never seen again. Fifteen years later, more teenage employees are attacked at an ice cream store in the same town, and again only one makes it out alive. In the aftermath of the latest crime, three lives intersect: the lone survivor of the Blockbuster massacre who's forced to relive the horrors of her tragedy; the brother of the fugitive accused, who's convinced the police have the wrong suspect; and FBI agent Sarah Keller who must delve into the secrets of both nights—stirring up memories of teen love and lies—to uncover the truth about murders on the night shift. Twisty, poignant, and redemptive, The Night Shift is a story about the legacy of trauma and how the broken can come out on the other side, and it solidifies Finlay as one of the new leading voices in the world of thrillers.

Twisty, poignant, and redemptive, The Night Shift is a story about the legacy of trauma and how the broken can come out on the other side, and it solidifies Finlay as one of the new leading voices in the world of thrillers.
