Author D. Harlan Wilson joins Mike to discuss his latest book, Strangelove Country, a collection of critical fictions examining four of Stanley Kubrick's most influential science fiction films: Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, and A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Blurring the lines between criticism, fiction, and satire, Wilson explores how Kubrick's work continues to shape cultural narratives about technology, violence, human identity, and control.The conversation covers Wilson's experimental approach to writing, the enduring legacy of Kubrick's cinema, and how speculative fiction and critical theory intersect. Together, they examine how Kubrick's visions of the future—and their contradictions—remain as unsettling and relevant as ever.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.

Some podcasts talk about love. Some talk about horror. THE BLIND RAGE PODCAST talks about both. This week, we take a look at LOVE AND HUMAN REMAINS (1993), a darkly introspective film that explores sex, loneliness, and the search for meaning in an increasingly disconnected world. Thomas Gibson leads the cast as David, a former TV actor turned waiter, navigating life alongside his best friend Candy (Ruth Marshall), who longs for something more. As their paths intertwine with those around them—including a mysterious and dangerous presence in the city—the film unfolds with an eerie sense of dread. Blurring the line between drama and thriller, this Canadian production doesn't just ask hard questions; it forces you to sit with the answers. We break it all down on THE BLIND RAGE PODCAST, where we tackle the unsettling, the unspoken, and the unforgettable.

The accelerating integration of emerging technologies into armed conflict is transforming not only the tools of war, but its tactics, geography, participants and impact. Technological developments – from commercial drones to artificial intelligence, electronic warfare to the military use of civilian infrastructure – risk undermining boundaries between military and civilian domains. These changes challenge long-held assumptions about the character and conduct of warfare, how wars are fought in practice, while raising legal and humanitarian concerns for the protection of civilians and the preservation of the principle of distinction. In this post, Ruben Stewart, ICRC Adviser on New Technologies of Warfare, explores the drivers and implications of this transformation. He focuses on how evolving technologies and trends are influencing the conduct of hostilities and impacting the protection of civilians. He underscores the urgent need to uphold legal norms amid these shifts, particularly the principle of distinction, ensuring that complexity does not become a pretext for non-compliance. At the heart of his analysis is a call to reckon with the profound humanitarian consequences these changes impose on those caught in conflict.

My friend and fellow professional organizer Missi McKown sent me a voice message with an idea on how to start this podcast.  " So this is a cautionary tale. Please do the opposite of everything we do unless you'd like to burnout and stress yourself out, and also start dropping balls left and right, including family, friends, and relationships that are important to you. Okay, let's dive into it!" We are talking about some things we do in our business--and the why behind it--but also how we're working on better ways to make sure we're servicing our organizing clients but also not losing ourselves in the process.  LINKS FOR LISTENERS: Get in touch with Melissa: www.proorganizerstudio.com or hello@proorganizerstudio.com Learn more about Missi and her business, Clear Spaces Organizing in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area of Minnesota: www.creatingclearspaces.com _____________________________________________________________________ Balancing Boundaries in the Professional Organizing Business   In this episode of the Pro Organizer Studio Podcast, host Melissa Klug, joined by her friend Missi, explores the challenges and solutions surrounding boundaries in the professional organizing industry.  They discuss the importance of setting boundaries with clients, recognizing burnout, and the personal experiences that influence their professional lives.

Send us a messageThe parallels between AI technology and the prophetic imagery of Revelation 13:14-15, are striking. AI's capacity for deception – its ability to simulate life – and its potential to enforce ideological control – all mirror the role of the second beast and the living image in the Biblical prophecy. As AI continues to advance, it is essential to consider the ethical and spiritual implications of these technologies, particularly as to how they might be used to deceive, manipulate, and control society in ways that echo the warnings of Revelation.For many theologians and believers, the rise of AI and its growing influence in society, is seen as a possible fulfillment of end-times prophecy, particularly in the context of Revelation 13:14-15. In this view, AI's capacity for deception and control reflects the actions of the second beast, who uses miraculous signs to deceive the world, and brings life to an image of the beast that demands worship. AI, with its ability to create lifelike simulations, and control vast amounts of information, could be seen as a modern embodiment of this prophetic imagery.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

As we begin Season V, we explore one of the most unnerving figures in modern folklore: the Men in Black.Join us as we trace the shadowy origins of these silent enforcers, following their evolution from early UFO encounters to government conspiracies and their place in pop culture. We'll examine the strange patterns that link witness testimonies, the unsettling uniformity of their behaviour, and the psychological weight they carry as symbols of censorship, paranoia, and control. Blurring the line between reality and fabrication, this urban legend continues to haunt the spaces where secrets are meant to stay buried.Text Me (this is 3rd party & I cannot respond, but I see all messages)Support the showIf you have more information or a correction on something mentioned in this chapter, email us at luke@lukemordue.com.

Ep 74: Navigating Grief through Sculpture: Bobbi Meier's Story“Grief doesn't have to be gray. It can be neon, it can be soft, it can be joyful.”- Bobbi MeierSummary of the episodeIn this episode of noseyAF, we explore navigating grief through sculpture with Chicago-based artist Bobbi Meier. Bobbi's journey as an artist is intimately shaped by personal loss and the emotional complexities of caregiving, grief, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Through her tactile, vibrant sculptures—which she calls “squishy, colorful towers”—Bobbi channels emotion, joy, and memory. These works, part of a series titled Sentinels for Innocence, reflect how grief and play can coexist in powerful ways.We discuss how Bobbi's sculptural practice creates space for healing, community, and catharsis, and how her art invites both personal introspection and public dialogue. From the transformation of grief into vibrant form to the role of humor in tragedy, this conversation reveals the power of creative expression to shape identity and connect us to one another.Topics discussed:How personal loss and caregiving shaped Bobbi Meier's artThe role of play and innocence in sculptureArt as a response to grief and social-political upheavalBalancing humor and tragedy in creative practiceProfessionalism, hobby culture, and rediscovering joy in artmakingChapters:• 00:07 - Kicking Off Season Six• 06:20 - Exploring the Impact of the Pandemic on Artistic Expression• 18:21 - The Emotional Journey of Art: From Creation to Reflection• 22:42 - Art and Memory: Conversations on Impactful Pieces• 30:00 - The Power of Art and Personal Loss• 39:31 - Defining Professionalism in Art• 44:10 - The Art of Hobbies: Discovering New Passions• 48:23 - Reflections on Fear and ArtAbout Bobbi:Bobbi Meier is a Chicago-based multimedia artist whose provocative, fiber-based sculptures confront the tension between what's seen and what's suppressed. Blurring the lines between public and private, her abstract forms tap into themes of repressed sexuality, proper manners, and emotional excess. With an MFA and MAAE from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Bobbi's work has been featured nationally and was recognized with a prestigious Kohler Arts/Industry residency in 2019.Resources mentioned in this episodeA Tale of Today: Materialities at Driehaus MuseumJohnMichael Kohler Arts CenterEpiphany Center for the ArtsConnect with Bobbi MeierInstagram: @bobbimeierartWebsite: bobbimeierart.comConnect & Stay UpdatedVisit my website (Art, Projects & More)Follow on Instagram (@stephaniegraham)Join my Studio NewsletterListen to more episodesSupport & FeedbackShare noseyAF with...

In this episode of the Z3 Podcast, artists Vanessa Hidary and Neshama Carlebach reflect on how their creative work and personal identities have been transformed in the wake of October 7. They share how their art has shifted toward activism, shaped by grief, urgency, and deep connection to their communities. The conversation explores the evolving role of Jewish artists, the contrasts between diaspora and Israeli experiences, and the ways art can offer healing in moments of rupture. Listen to these groundbreaking artists as they get deep and spiritual, making the case for art and activism as a genuine, necessary tool in building the world to come.Neshama Carlebach is an award-winning singer, songwriter and educator who has performed and taught in cities around the world.

My guest today, Scott Payne, spent more than two decades working with some of the most notorious biker gangs, illegal drug operations, and neo-Nazis. And, it would be hard to even imagine some of the things he's seen and experienced in his decades-long career as an FBI Special Agent. Today, Scott and I talk about what it takes to be a successful undercover agent, the lines that get blurred when working with some of the most dangerous criminals in the world, how to keep your cool under pressure (including the time a notorious biker gang stripped him in a basement to search him for the wire he was wearing at the time), and how a man transitions back into his ordinary life after one of the most dangerous jobs he could do.

Born from a simple Photoshop contest in 2009, the Slender Man quickly slipped from pixels to paranoia – an Internet myth that would, terrifyingly, become murderously real.IN THIS EPISODE: We look at the intriguing start to the Slenderman legend, and how it evolved into not juste one real-life murder, but suicides as well. We debate whether it's possible for an imaginary figure like Slenderman tobecome a reality. And we look at a possible connection between Slenderman and a real-life mystery in the 1830s.

Barbara Sundstrom is a Texas-based former youth film ministry director with a career spanning several features and shorts, primarily focused on empowering a youth cast and crew by giving teens real film production experience. Each one of Sundstrom's Cross Wind Productions films has a very unique story but tends to focus on “social realism” themes of sin and suffering among ordinary people. Sometimes, they dip into the supernatural: for example, 20 minute short film THE GUARDIAN, which is written by a film student of Sundstrom's, portrays a miracle that occurs when a “hobo” might be an angel in disguise. Christian teen Tara loses her father in a car crash but gets a second chance to say goodbye when she meets the homeless Leroy who coincidentally received Tara's father's eyes in a cornea transplant after the fateful accident. Faith also brings an orphaned teen to unlikely protectors in FOSTER CARE, a story by Sundstrom about how Christians' good intentions need follow-through to make a positive impact. When teen Bridgette is suddenly orphaned by her mother's intentional drug overdose, she is taken in by a family at her local church who aren't ready for the commitment they agreed to when housing a troubled teen. Bridgette fortunately is able to find herself with yet another more suitable couple in church, which has got to be one of the luckiest stories about the foster system ever told. Blurring the line between stark realism and complete fantasy, Barbara Sundstrom remains the kind of compelling voice in faith-based film that keeps us as Christian film podcasters hunting for the next big thing.
