Late last year, Michigan-based Grede LLC told workers at its 50-year-old foundry in Brewton, Alabama, that the company planned to shutter all manufacturing operations by the end of 2025. On April 1, the company issued a WARN notice with the state that says the wind down will begin on May 22, 2025, and some 160 employees will be affected.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to discuss the tragic case of JaQuinn Brewton - an adorable toddler who went to stay with his godmother, Nadera Batson, and her boyfriend after his mother became homeless. But what was supposed to be a safe situation for little JaQuinn turned deadly after Nadera began beating him for hours, scalding his feet with hot water, and burning his backside with a kitchen blowtorch. Many people potentially heard what was going on inside of the apartment, but no one actually did anything to stop it.  Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Material: https://www.pacourts.us/assets/opinions/Superior/out/J-S19004-15m.pdf?cb=2   https://www.pacourts.us/assets/opinions/Superior/out/J-S04010-22m%20-%20105078643165445109.pdf?cb=1 https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/20131219_Tot_s_killer_sentenced_to_28_1_2_to_57_years_for_brutal_abuse.html https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/funeral-services-held-for-3-year-old-victim-of-alleged-abuse/ https://disability-memorial.org/jaquinn-brewton https://mugshots.com/US-States/Pennsylvania/Philadelphia-County-PA/Nadera-Batson.70587166.html https://www.facebook.com/iminlovewithpermworm

Episode 303: “I like dark songs. I don't know why,” says Grayson Capps early on in our interview. “Cheerful songs don't do much for me.” The Lower Alabama bluesman and songwriter is talking about both his career in general and his seventh album in particular, with the un-cheerful title Heartbreak, Misery & Death. It's a covers collection featuring songs that shaped him as a young guy coming of age in Brewton, AL and New Orleans, where he went to school and launched his music career. It couldn't have been a better springboard for an hour with an artist who's even more fascinating for his distance from Music City and its business apparatus.

The cause of the fire remains undetermined. The Red Cross provided assistance, and apartment management is aiding residents with housing needs. Some residents, like Jennifer Hallmark, were unable to rescue their pets during the fire. Hallmark, who had several cats, was evacuated but desperately wanted to retrieve them. Property management was not available on Sunday morning, leaving residents anxious about their belongings and pets. STORY 2: Clark Atlanta Professor and Author: “When You Get An Opportunity, Run With It.” Dr. Daniel Black, a professor and author from Clark Atlanta University, was the featured speaker at Smyrna's second annual Black History Month event. The event, sold out both years, featured readings from some of Black's works, including "The Coming" and "Black on Black." Black encouraged attendees to seize opportunities and praised Smyrna for its inclusivity. Attendees praised Black's powerful and eloquent words, describing them as a "call to action."

Once underway, the event is lively, with participants enthusiastically calling out "Bingo" as numbers are announced on a big screen accompanied by music.

His perspective shifted during incarceration, where he formed friendships with individuals from diverse backgrounds. Witnessing the Oklahoma City Bombing prompted his departure from the movement. Meeink eventually embraced his Jewish heritage and now advocates for police reform.

The infamous "Freddy vs. Jason" GM panel is reunited (er, resurrected) to rank the 13 HALLOWEEN films in the horrifying conclusion to SCREAM Drafts VI!

The new episode arrives a few days later than planned (since it was scheduled to be our September episode) but nevertheless, we have a delightfully animated episode on tap here featuring another two of my favorite podcasters. The talented, prolific Billy Ray Brewton (of The Incinerator Podcast & Movie Mixtapes) joins me alongside his good friend and co-host Ryan Verrill, who also has own podcast that I highly recommend called The Disc-Connected. We learn about their passion projects and their origin stories at the start since this is their first time on! Together we three have delved into the legendary work of one Don Bluth, the man brave enough to depart from Disney at a time when their output wasn't the strongest. He set out to make his own distinguishable work and was mostly successful particularly at the start of his career as a director. Then there are a couple of weird detours along the way (oh Rock-A-Doodle) but even a late career highlight that ends up being a favorite of ours! This was such a joy and for you animation fans of the 80s and 90s, I have a feeling you'll feel as nostalgic as we did taking this journey. Coming in about three weeks - something completely different - for the next episode, I'll be stuck in another dimension alongside librarian Chloe Waryan for a spooky discussion on Mr. James Wan! Thank you all for listening and thank you to Billy Ray & Ryan for joining me! 00:00 - 27:14 - Introduction / Origins of Billy Ray + Ryan 27:15 - 58:54 - Secret of NIMH, An American Tail 58:55 - 01:23:59 - Land Before Time, All Dogs Go To Heaven 01:24:00 - 01:46:52 - Rock-A-Doodle, Thumbelina, Troll in Central Park, Pebble & Penguin 01:46:53 - 02:08:00 - Anastasia, Titan A.E. 02:08:01 - 02:20:58 - Top 3 Favorites / Outro Jim's Substack, etc: https://5years.substack.comhttps://linktr.ee/jimlaczkowski https://letterboxd.com/jimlaczkowski Billy Ray's Podcast, etc: https://linktr.ee/billyraybrewton https://twitter.com/incineratorpod https://letterboxd.com/billyraybrewton https://www.patreon.com/incineratorpod Ryan's Podcast, etc: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDiscConnected https://twitter.com/disc_connected https://letterboxd.com/disc_connected https://www.patreon.com/DiscConnected

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we discuss a character actress, multiple Oscar nominee (and winner) and living legend who is still somehow underrated: Kathy “Bobo” Bates! Our B-Sides today are: A Home of Our Own, Dolores Claiborne, Love Liza, and Richard Jewell. The actress made her bones in the theater, originating roles in iconic stuff such as ‘Night Mother and Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. Our guest is Billy Ray Brewton, host of the superb The Incinerator Podcast, the Movie Mixtapes podcast, and the Center Clueless podcast. Brewton is also the Festival Director/Lead Programmer of Make Believe Seattle. We talk to Brewton about why Bates is his favorite working actress, her innate Southern charm, her late break into movies, her essential performance in Dolores Claiborne, and why Fried Green Tomatoes is so important to the state of Alabama. Additional fun tidbits include: the strange career of A Home of Our Own director Tony Bill, the underrated Bates-led TV show Harry's Law, the exciting acting Oscar wins that happened in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, and some of Bates' other B-Sides (Angus, Primary Colors, Bonneville).
