The video documents a live broadcast from downtown Conroe, where a group of concerned citizens and small business owners are gathered to protest what they perceive as unfair practices by local leaders. The main issues discussed revolve around increased property taxes, fraudulent debt, and significantly raised fees that are forcing small, "mom and pop" businesses out of the area. Speakers express that these decisions are negatively impacting the community and its residents. A key point of contention is the alleged misuse of taxpayer money, specifically in relation to the Crichton Theater. It's alleged that council members are on the board of the theater and are voting to allocate funds to it, while also potentially benefiting through a production company they own. This is seen as a conflict of interest and a misuse of public funds, especially when compared to the struggles of small businesses. The speakers highlight their efforts to address these grievances, including petitions, emails, and rallies, but feel their concerns are being ignored. They emphasize the importance of citizen journalism and unity in bringing about change. The video also features interviews with business owners who are directly affected by these policies, explaining how the rising costs and perceived unfairness are hindering their ability to operate and thrive in downtown Conroe. They express a desire for local government to support, rather than burden, small businesses. Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough makes an appearance, expressing his support for the small business owners and stating his belief that a healthy community requires a healthy economy and business environment. He criticizes the current fee structure as "unconscionable" and pledges his support. The overall sentiment is one of frustration and a call for accountability from local leaders, with a strong emphasis on preserving the vitality of downtown Conroe and supporting its small businesses.

Summary: this episode of On the Brink, Andi Simon speaks with Alastair Frost about what it truly means to be future ready in a fast-changing world. Together, they explore how curiosity—asking "why" and "what if" like a child—opens the door to new possibilities, and how reclaiming our natural creativity helps individuals and organizations move beyond comfort and complacency. Rather than trying to predict the future, Frost encourages leaders to focus on what is inevitable and to build the mindset and habits that keep them adaptable, relevant, and ready for whatever comes next.   On On the Brink with Andi Simon, we often explore one central question: how do you keep from getting stuck or stalled in a world that refuses to stand still? In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Allister Frost, a former Microsoft executive turned global keynote speaker and author of Ready Already. Alastair brings a refreshing and deeply practical perspective on what it means to be "future ready" in a time when change feels constant, overwhelming, and unpredictable. As an anthropologist, I often remind audiences that humans have always been innovators. When our ancestors harnessed fire, they transformed not only how they ate but how their brains evolved. We are, by nature, adaptive and creative. Yet today, many leaders and organizations behave as if stability is the goal and change is the threat. Allister challenges that thinking. Change Is Not the Enemy—Complacency Is One of the most powerful ideas in our conversation is this: we are not resistant to change because we dislike it. In fact, as a species, we thrive on it. The problem is not change itself—it's comfort. Allister contrasts two corporate mindsets from his career. In one company, the mantra was, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." At Microsoft, the philosophy was closer to: "If it works today, it's already becoming obsolete." That shift—from preservation to proactive reinvention—is at the heart of a future-ready mindset. But here's the nuance: Alastair doesn't ask leaders to predict the future. Instead, he invites them to prepare for what is inevitable. The Power of "Inevitable" Rather than speculating about what the world might look like in 20 years, Alastair suggests focusing on what is almost certain to happen in the near term. Budgets will shift. Technologies will evolve. Customers will change their expectations. Systems that feel new today will eventually become outdated. Leadership will turn over. Markets will fluctuate. If these shifts are inevitable, then the question becomes: are you ready already? This approach feels practical and empowering. It pulls futurism out of the abstract and places it squarely in your hands. The Frost Framework: A Practical Process for Growth Allister has developed what many call the "Frost Framework," a simple but powerful growth cycle that individuals and organizations can use to stay adaptable. At its core, the process begins with identifying what is inevitable and choosing one area to explore. But the real magic happens in what he calls three human "superpowers"—abilities that artificial intelligence cannot replicate at the same depth: Open: Approach your work with childlike curiosity. Ask "Why?" as if you are five years old. Why do we hold this meeting? Why do we serve customers this way? Why does this process exist at all? Curiosity cracks open possibility. Surprise: Give yourself permission to imagine bold, even ridiculous ideas. Most innovations begin as ideas that seem impractical. Let your thinking go big before reality trims it down. Tell: Courageously share your ideas in a way that invites collaboration. Replace "No, that won't work" with "Yes, and…" That simple shift can transform defensive conversations into generative ones. What I particularly appreciate is that this process is personal. It's not about waiting for the CEO to hand down the strategy. It's about each individual reconnecting with their own purpose and creativity. Humility: The Leader's First Step For senior leaders, Allister emphasizes humility. The higher you rise, the easier it is to believe you must have all the answers. In reality, the opposite is true. The future is too complex for any one person to control. A future-ready leader shifts from being a "know-it-all" to being a "learn-it-all." That humility not only relieves pressure—it unlocks collective intelligence across the organization. As I often say, humans are copycats. If leaders model curiosity, openness, and experimentation, others will follow. Reclaiming Your Creative Mind One of the most striking moments in our conversation was when Alastair described how people physically shrink when he mentions creativity. "I'm not creative," they say. But if you can daydream, you are creative. Creativity isn't confined to a whiteboard in a dark conference room. It happens on morning walks, in the quiet moments between sleep and waking, in conversations where someone asks "What if?" In fact, one of my favorite stories from our discussion involved a sales leader who realized that every time a client asked "What if?" he had ignored it. Yet that's where the opportunity lived. He returned home and built an entirely new "What If" sales process. That's the shift—from defending the status quo to exploring possibility. Ready Already In a time when so many feel overwhelmed by uncertainty, this episode is a reminder that you do not need to predict the future. You need to prepare your mindset. Be curious. Focus on what is inevitable. Use your uniquely human superpowers. Lead with humility. Ask "What if?" The times are changing. But they always have. The question is not whether change will come. The question is: are you ready already?

Cuba has been facing rolling blackouts, food shortages, and rationed hospital resources after a month with no oil imports. The energy crisis has also been a major blow to the country's tourism industry, as major airlines suspended service to the country.The cutoff came after the United States severed the island's access to Venezuelan oil in January, and then warned any country supplying Cuba it could face retaliation. The New Yorker's Jon Lee Anderson has been reporting on the region for decades. He joins us to talk about how the Trump administration hopes this could end communist rule in the country.

The world's second-largest brewer says it plans to combat a sluggish beer market by using technology to make its operations more efficient — and, in turn, slash thousands of jobs.Heineken, which announced its latest financial results Wednesday, said that it expects to cut between 5,000 and 6,000 jobs over the next two years — amounting to up to 7% of the Dutch brewer's global workforce.Company officials indicated that some of the cuts would stem from previously announced cost-cutting efforts in its main office, regional operations and supply chain, while others, Reuters reported, would focus on Europe and “non-priority markets” that have lower growth prospects for the company.The company's top executive told CNBC that Heineken aims to achieve up to $600 million in annual savings, and that “technology digitization in general, and AI specifically,” would be an important component of those efforts.Heineken and other leading brewers have faced growing challenges to demand on a number of fronts in recent years, from the rise of other beverage categories to increasing health concerns about alcohol to, of late, tightened consumer spending.Heineken indicated that beer volumes were down 2.4% last year, although its adjusted operating profit rose by a better-than-expected 4.4%. The company expects profit growth of between 2% and 6% this year.The announcement also comes as Heineken seeks a new chief executive: Dolf van den Brink announced unexpectedly last month that he would step down after nearly six years at the helm.

Rond Rob Jetten schaart zich een relatief jonge groep bewindslieden uit drie duidelijk geprofileerde politieke richtingen. Dat biedt kansen, maar is niet zonder risico. Hoe maakt de nieuwe premier hier een coherent team van? Hoe zal zijn kabinet uitnodigend optreden naar anderen voor meerderheden? Welke verrassingen, parels en risicofactoren schuilen in de ploeg? Wie is 'de Gidi Markuszower die wel kan slagen'? En waarom is een geheime bijeenkomst op zaterdag 21 februari cruciaal? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger kijken vooruit en noteren patronen en lessen uit de parlementaire geschiedenis. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Waren er bij Dick Schoof vier pizzaslices in een doos die ieder voor zich eters moesten lokken, bij Jetten zijn er drie pilaren die samen een grote koepel van ambitie overeind moeten houden. Eigenlijk ontbreekt er een, dus taak aan de bouwmeester om de constructie desondanks stevig en stabiel te houden. De VVD-pijler blijkt recycling van de wrakke fundering van de coalitie met PVV, NSC en BBB. Dilan Yeşilgöz wil zo blijkbaar afdwingen dat dit – zoals beloofd in de campagne – opnieuw een in de woorden van de VVD ‘centrumrechts kabinet’ zou zijn. De risico's daarmee zijn manifest. Op veel consideratie hoeven de ex-Schoof-bewindslieden in de Kamers niet te rekenen, niet van links en niet van rechts. De CDA-pijler zou uit 'generatie Henri' bestaan. Maar er zit nogal veel ‘Buma’ en zelfs nog ‘Balkenende’ in. Eigenlijk alleen Tom Berendsen (Buitenlandse Zaken) en Heleen Herbert (Economische Zaken) zijn echt nieuwe gezichten. Toch heeft het CDA heeft als junior in de coalitie een doortimmerd pakket aan posten binnengehaald. In elk van de cruciale beleidsdomeinen heeft Bontenbal een sleutelpost veroverd. De D66-zuil rond Jetten is helder geselecteerd: het zijn loyale vertrouwelingen die beseffen dat ze zonder zijn electorale triomf politiek min of meer uitgerangeerd zouden zijn geweest. Jetten heeft met nadruk gezocht naar pragmatische compromiszoekers. Op Landbouw mocht geen drammer. Aan de premier de taak op 21 februari meteen een reeks knopen door te hakken en kabinetsdiscipline te vestigen. Allereerst met zijn vicepremiers - een sterk contrast met Schoof - maar ook met de aanvoerders van de coalitiefracties. Een paradox waarbij Hans van Mierlo zijn vingers zou aflikken: juist om als coalitie constructieve meerderheden te bereiken, moet je zélf ragfijn opereren en de bewindslieden ruimte gunnen 'te leveren'. Slaat ieder voor zich aan het profileren en steun zoeken bij geestverwante fracties dan wordt vanuit de oppositie de coalitie moeiteloos uiteen gespeeld. Opportunisme van de korte termijn zal het zicht op de lange-termijnambities en hervormingen van het coalitieakkoord snel doen verdampen. Een pikant aspect doet zich nu al voor. Deel van de VVD-continuïteit is de wens dat de asielwetgeving van Marjolein Faber (PVV) alsnog wordt doorgevoerd. De Eerste Kamer zal daar als hoeder van gedegen wetgeving uiterst sceptisch naar kijken. In de wandelgangen horen we de redenering dat het misschien wel beter is als de nieuwe minister van Asiel en Migratie, CDA-vicepremier Bart van den Brink geheel nieuwe wetgeving zou introduceren. Als de vingerafdrukken van de PVV daar niet meer aan kleven, wordt brede steun mogelijk en dus aantrekkelijk. De ironie is groot. Wilders wilde een vicepremier op die post die niet door de beugel kon - Gidi Markuszower. Een CDA’er kan van de combinatie alsnog een succes maken. En de lege pizzadoos laten voor wat-ie is. Premier Jetten moet ook meteen duidelijkheid scheppen over Europa. Met de sterk Europees vertakte Tom Berendsen kan hij meteen uitstralen dat Nederland weer meedoet en dus snel weer meetelt. Als hij het goed speelt kan Nederland meteen al een hoofdrol kan spelen. Als lid van de trojka van lidstaten die een half jaar EU-voorzitter zijn - én daarbij als het enige lid van de 'kopgroep van zes' - is ons land gedurende 2028 en 2029 leidend in de voorbereiding naar een volgende fase in de EU. Het Meerjarig Financieel Kader wordt dan concreet doorgevoerd en de komst in 2029 van de 'post-Ursula' Commissie is dan in aantocht. Het grootste risico voor Jetten is zijn relatie met de minister van Financiën. Zou Eelco Heinen zijn eigen beleid onder Schoof als lichtend voorbeeld voor een vervolg in de nieuwe coalitie presenteren, dan kon het weleens snel heel mis gaan. De nieuwe ploeg heeft historisch gezien een opmerkelijke analogie. Bij omstreden ingrepen in het sociale weefsel staat een duo van premier en minister van Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid klaar om 'te doen wat nodig is'. Destijds Ruud Lubbers en Jan de Koning, nu Rob Jetten en Hans Vijlbrief. Ze lijken in velerlei opzichten op elkaar, ook in hun nuttige verschil van herkomst, generatie en naturel. Lukt het nieuwe duo wat dat eerdere geschiedenis deed schrijven? Vijlbrief zal voor Prinsjesdag een sociaal akkoord met 'de polder' moeten bereiken en moet daarvoor optrekken met de CDA-minister op EZ, Heleen Herbert, en met de minister die het beroepsonderwijs en ‘leven lang ontwikkelen’ in haar portefeuille zal moeten hebben, zijn partijgenoot Rianne Letschert. Alleen zo kunnen de arbeidsmarkttekorten verkleind worden, mensen daadwerkelijk 'van baan naar baan' gaan en de productiviteit stijgen. Op twee punten kan Jetten zijn stempel voor vele jaren drukken op de Haagse werkelijkheid. Verrast hij met de benoeming van een excellente 'onderkoning', de opvolger van Thom de Graaf? *** Verder lezen *** Verder kijken *** Verder luisteren 563 - Als minderheid meerderheden maken https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/563-als-minderheid-meerderheden-maken 562 - De uitgestoken hand van D66, VVD en CDA https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/562-de-uitgestoken-hand-van-d66-vvd-en-cda 559 - Schaken op drie borden tegelijk https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/559-schaken-op-drie-borden-tegelijk 558 – Poetins rampjaar, Jettens kans https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/559-schaken-op-drie-borden-tegelijk?in_playlist=podcast 557 – Hoe overleeft Rob Jetten het premierschap?

On Wednesday Mark Levin Show, this debt crisis in America predates President Trump – it stems from a massive welfare state which expanded to include illegal aliens, unchecked waste, fraud, and abuse costing hundreds of billions annually, and out-of-control Marxist-socialist policies.  Congress is unable to fix this problem because Democrats want to spend even more. Unchecked fiscal irresponsibility risks economic collapse, worthless currency, stagflation, societal dislocation, and violent riots if the system fails. We need to ensure that our republic survives! Also, why are we negotiating with Iran? If Iran unexpectedly accepts all U.S. demands, an agreement might be signed, allowing the regime to survive. Failing to eliminate the Iranian regime now is unconscionable and immoral, as it will leave future generations to confront a far more dangerous Iran armed with 50,000 ballistic missiles capable of striking the entire U.S. mainland, Hawaii, and Alaska, plus nuclear warheads. Later, the House of Representatives narrowly passed the SAVE America Act requiring voter ID by a vote of 215 to 214, with Rep Thomas Massie joining with the Democrats. ID is routinely required for everyday activities like entering government buildings, courts, buying alcohol or cigarettes, renting a car, signing a lease, getting a mortgage, and more—yet Democrats oppose it for voting. Voter ID protects against fraud like illegal voting, double voting, or votes by the deceased, making it a civil rights issue where fraudulent votes dilute legitimate ones. The only reason to oppose it is to enable fraud. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington for yet another meeting with President Donald Trump, the Israeli media were already spinning tales of tension and drama based on anonymous speculation. But instead of rumors, the hard facts tell a different story, one where Israel is described in the U.S. Department of Defense strategy itself as a “model ally,” reflecting a historic strategic shift unfolding in real time.Do not miss hearing these historic facts.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Bryan McClain discusses his background in technology liaising with the Military-Industrial-Complex at a military college. He recounts how his professional background in computer science and exposure to government censorship regarding WikiLeaks led him to investigate geopolitical propaganda and conspiracy theories. McClain explores the rise of technocracy, warning that society is being pushed toward a global panopticon through AI, digital IDs, and the replacement of personal hardware with controlled edge devices. McClain characterizes current events as a massive psychological operation designed to distract the public while foundational liberties are replaced by a digital control system.

At age 70 Susan Rife ,a retired journalist and book reviewer, began law school. Worried about her creaky memory and busy already caring for her aging and ailing mother, Susan nonetheless is tackling torts, and contracts and crafting legal briefs. Skier Lindsey Vonn who made Olympic news recently attempting an alpine run at age 41 — like Susan — is one of an increasing number of Americans looking to use what environmental Bill McKibbon sees as their third act retirement out changing the world. Journalist Rosemary Armao talks with Susan in this week's chapter of Beyond the Brink and Fighting Back.

"Last chance for peace"

The numbers coming out of Iran stop you cold: 12,000 to 20,000 dead in 48 hours. Not across months of civil war or years of grinding conflict, but concentrated into two January nights of systematic slaughter.My guest on this recent WhoWhatWhy podcast, Shay Khatiri, insists we're focusing on the wrong horror. The real question isn't what happened on January 8 and 9 — it's what comes next. Because this wasn't an economic protest that got out of hand. This was the maximum force Iranian civil society can muster on its own. And it wasn't enough.According to Khatiri — a leading Iran scholar at the Yorktown Institute focusing on US foreign policy toward Iran and Russia – every previous uprising (2009, 2019, 2022) left a residue of unfulfilled promise and mounting rage. This time, the pattern breaks. What Khatiri heard from every source inside Iran, from overworked surgeons to furious shopkeepers, was the same plea: We'll do everything we can, but we need help from outside.

Pressure mounts as the spotlight turns to John Thune — will he take a stand and vote YES on the SAVE Act to keep the government open and continue funding DHS? The filibuster is suddenly back in play, and the stakes couldn't be higher as the mechanics, history, and political games behind it are laid out in plain English. Then retired Arizona sheriff Mark Lamb joins the show with jaw-dropping insider insight into a deeply flawed investigation tied to new video in the Savannah Guthrie case. Lamb breaks down what went wrong at the crime scene, why leadership failures matter, and why actions from Chris Nanos don't pass the smell test. Calm, methodical, and devastatingly factual, Lamb explains how investigations are supposed to work — and what's already been mishandled. A high-stakes hour packed with accountability, law enforcement reality, and political consequences you can't ignore. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's been a rough week for prime minister Keir Starmer. First, the Labour leader offered a direct apology to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking network while declaring that “none of us knew the depth and darkness” of the relationship between Epstein and former British ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson. Then came the resignations of Morgan McSweeney and Tim Allan. Can Mr Starmer hold onto his job? Meanwhile, the latest tranche of Epstein files contained references of a distinctly Irish nature – what are they, and what conclusions can we draw from them?

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered his soldiers to kill protesters standing up against the Islamic Regime, knowingly provoking America to act. President Trump sent an Armada and is planning to send reinforcements if Khomeini doesn't come to the table and make a deal. Today Khomeini skipped the annual meeting with army air force commanders for the first time in 37 years. Is it fear of a US strike? At this moment, Iran and America are at an impasse. Who will blink first? In this episode Carole Lieberman, M.D., The Terrorist Therapist®, compares how  protesters in Iran are treated vs. anti-ICE rebels in America. We also look at the ‘war' between the European Union, whose countries are finally taking action to deport radical Islamic migrants, and Iran who retaliates by calling EU armies 'terrorists'. We also look at other hotspots around the world - from Italy to NewYork, and Texas to the UK, reviewing the definitions of terrorist and domestic terrorist, in order to answer the question, “Will the real terrorists please stand up?"

The government is in full-on leadership crisis - with pressure building on Keir Starmer to resign. The Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar was the first major figure to go over the top - saying there have been too many mistakes and Starmer should go. A lot of the cabinet are out declaring their support for the PM but it is clear things are moving fast. Starmer's Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney quit on Sunday over his advice to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador. Today the No 10 director of communications, Tim Allan, also quit. So what next - and if Starmer is going what and who should follow? On this episode of the Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy is joined by Polly Toynbee, a columnist at the Guardian, Tom Baldwin, former Labour communications chief who has also written a biography of Sir Keir Starmer, and Luke Tryl, executive director of the More in Common UK thinktank.

With just days remaining before the Department of Homeland Security funding deadline, a standoff over border enforcement reforms is raising the prospect of a partial DHS shutdown. Democrats are pushing for changes to how ICE and Border Patrol operate, including body cameras, limits on force and stricter oversight, while lawmakers in both parties warn the political stakes are high in an election year. A shutdown could ripple across TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard and cyber defense operations.

IsraelCast host Steven Shalowitz speaks with Jonathan Schanzer, executive director of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, about what FDD calls the "axis of aggressors" — China, Russia, and Iran — and how Iran's internal turmoil could reshape the Middle East. Schanzer describes Iran's long-running protest cycle, severe economic collapse, and the regime's vulnerability after major Israeli and U.S. strikes, then outlines three possible U.S. paths: renewed diplomacy, degrading Iran's military capabilities, or pursuing full regime decapitation. They discuss whether Iran's military will fire on its own people, and the regime's reliance on proxy forces. Schanzer explains Iran's global networks, including links through Venezuela and Hezbollah's illicit finance routes, and argues Iran's "axis of resistance" is unusually weakened. The conversation also covers shifting regional power dynamics, Saudi Arabia and the Abraham Accords (including Indonesia), concerns about Egypt and Jordan, and confusion over President Trump's "Board of Peace." They close on the value of history, anti-Semitism's recurring patterns, and Schanzer's book on Gaza as a warning sign.

Bitcoin may be deeper into a crypto winter than headlines suggest, according to Matt Hougan, who argues the downturn has been quietly masked by institutional flows and ETF demand. In this discussion, we unpack how weakening retail participation, struggling altcoins, and collapsing crypto equities reveal underlying stress that Bitcoin's price alone doesn't show. Hougan's key takeaway is contrarian: if this has been a hidden winter all along, the market may be closer to exhaustion than collapse, setting the stage for stabilization or reversal as excess leverage clears and weaker participants exit the system.

Ben, Woods, and Paul are here for you on a Wednesday morning! We start the show with a little foreplay and hear why Benny is leaving an hour early this morning, and Woodsy wishes his bride a happy "Meet-A-Versary". Then we set the menu for today's show before we dive into today's top story after it was reported on yesterday that Sheel Seidler and the Seidler brothers have reached a settlement, which could very well be the first sign that a sale of the team is imminent. Listen here!

In 1990, New York City was a place many Americans were afraid to enter, let alone police. More than 2,600 homicides in a single year, open-air drug markets, violent subway platforms and neighborhoods ruled by fear defined daily life. What followed would become one of the most debated eras in modern policing — aggressive enforcement strategies, the expansion of stop, question and frisk, and a leadership-driven push to reclaim the streets. Decades later, those years are still argued in classrooms, courtrooms and police roll calls across the country. On this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley is joined by NYPD Detective Tom Smith, who lived that history from the inside. Smith joined the department in 1990 and was assigned to West Harlem's 30th Precinct, one of the city's busiest and most dangerous commands at the time. From anti-crime plainclothes work and gun arrests to major narcotics investigations, DEA task force operations and a post-9/11 deployment to Afghanistan, Smith's career spans local street enforcement and international investigations. He shares what policing looked like before the crime drop, how leadership and coordinated prosecution mattered, and what today's officers face in a very different New York City. Tom Smith is co-host of The Gold Shields Show podcast. Connect with Tom online: LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram.

You know you're in for a good time when a movie features a 'witch mountain', right? Well, not if you've seen 1995's Escape to Witch Mountain. Then you'll know how it's perfectly possible for a film featuring a witch mountain to also be utterly incomprehensible and intensely dull!Never mind, at least this baffling remake of the 1975 family film - which tells the story of psychic alien twins reuniting after years spent apart - also features a hilariously stupid villainous scheme, and makes for an extremely giddy recap. It also boasts Erik von Detten and Sam Horrigan, who would go on to play Brink and Val in the legendary 1998 skating DCOM!If you crave bonus episodes of Mom Can't Cook!, monthly livestream watchalongs, or a shoutout at the end of the show, remember to check out our Patreon at Patreon.com/extrahelpings.If you've watched Escape to Witch Mountain and have your own thoughts, email them to us at momcantcookpod@gmail.com for a chance to have them read out on the show.
