Before Scream made meta-horror mainstream, Wes Craven created something truly unique: a horror film where the actors played themselves, filmed in the real New Line Cinema offices, exploring what happens when fictional evil breaks into reality.Freddy Krueger had officially died in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare in 1991, and from 1984 his character had evolved from terrifying villain to quipping and comedic, and New Line Cinema had already started merchandising the character. Realizing that maybe they had killed Freddy too soon, New Line wanted a way to resurrect him without actually resurrecting him. There was always something deeply unnerving about putting Krueger on a pedestal, and no-one thought it more than his original creator, Wes Craven… Wes Craven's New Nightmare cleverly blurs the line between fiction and reality, creating a unique meta-narrative, starring original final girl Heather Langenkamp as herself, focusing on her journey from horror star to mother and how that reflects the personal impact of the franchise on her fictional life. Craven specifically wanted to focus on how horror movies affect children, showcasing the blurred boundaries between protection and temptation. Despite its initial box office struggles, New Nightmare has gained a cult following, mostly in the wake of Wes Craven's next project, Scream, which took what New Nightmare had attempted and refined it. Wes Craven said that Scream was a movie for people who watch horror movies, and New Nightmare was a movie for people who make horror movies. Scream is credited for refreshing the slasher, but we all know New Nightmare is Wes Craven's real life meta masterpiece.I would love to hear your thoughts on Wes Craven's New Nightmare !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

This week we continued in our series, “Curing the Seven Deadly Sins”, and we dove into one of sin's sneakiest assassins—Envy.It's the sin that turns brothers into rivals, friends into foes, and hearts into prisons. Unlike the other deadly sins, envy never feels good, it only eats you alive.But here's the hope: the same God who confronted Cain tenderly also comes to us with grace, offering freedom, healing, and a new way of living marked by gratitude and contentment.Tune into this week's message as we exposed envy's grip, diagnosed its root, and discovered how Jesus, the better Abel, delivered us from it in a message titled, “From Envy to Contentment”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

How did a British ghost story set in a Liverpool council estate became America's most haunting urban legend?In 1992, director Bernard Rose transformed Clive Barker's British ghost story, The Forbidden, into one of horror's most intelligent and thought-provoking slashers. But the inspiration ran deeper than fiction. The tragic 1987 murder of Ruthie Mae McCoy, who called 911 claiming someone was breaking into her Chicago apartment through her bathroom mirror, is a chilling real life inspiration to one of cinema's most enduring, and gothically romantic horror icons.Candyman is not just a horror movie; it's a reflection of societal fears, racial injustice, and the haunting legacy of violence against Black people in America, specifically black men. The film, set in the Cabrini Green housing project, serves as a backdrop for a story that's both supernatural and tragically real. Tony Todd's portrayal of Candyman is chilling yet tragic, highlighting the character's backstory as a victim of racial injustice rather than just a typical horror villain. Helen Lyle, a white woman who becomes entangled in the Candyman myth, exposes the privilege and naivety that often accompany the quest for truth. The contrast between her character and the realities faced by the residents of Cabrini Green is not just a plot device; it's a commentary on who gets to tell stories and which voices are heard.I dare you to say his name five times... Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman.... I would love to hear your thoughts on Candyman (1992) !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

Back with more Shakespeare! Before we get started with Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and The Tempest, I share a little about my experience with Shakespeare before this project.In short, it was almost ZERO. I tell you this so you can have confidence as you start your own Shakespeare journey. I have been shocked, amazed and gratified at how rewarding the time put in with Shakespeare has been. And now, on to the plays!This week's Shakespeare trio is a true mix of tones.Romeo & Juliet isn't merely a teen love story—it's an indictment of a society where everyone stays locked in their roles. No one is evil, yet parents, the Nurse, and Friar Lawrence all fail to act, and two young lives pay the price. Far more than “star-crossed lovers,” it's a drama of systemic failure that rewards an adult reread.After four tragedies, A Midsummer Night's Dream felt light and mischievous. Dame Judi Dench as Titania (in the 1960s BBC version) was delightful, though I found myself too drained for full comedy—still, it's hilarious on stage.Finally, The Tempest surprised me most: part adventure, part morality play. Prospero's obsession with magic—and his choice to reclaim true leadership—offers a sharp reminder that power and technology can distract from real responsibility.Three plays, three moods, and a deeper appreciation for Shakespeare's range. And we aren't done! Join us next week to finish our Shakespeare trilogy with a couple of histories and the wonderful, tragic, Othello.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)My Romeo and Juliet Movie PickMy Midsummer Night's Dream Movie PickCONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

This Sunday, we kicked off a new series called Curing the 7 Deadly Sins. Over the next ten weeks we'll walk through struggles that have been tripping people up for centuries—Pride, Lust, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, Wrath. More importantly we will discover the freedom Jesus offers in their place!This week we started the conversation with Pride! Pride so often sits at the root of the others, whispering that we can handle life on our own, that God's way is optional, that His grace isn't really needed. But the truth is, pride keeps us from seeing God clearly, while humility opens our eyes.This weekend wasn't just about naming sin, it's about finding freedom. Together we learned how humility opens the door to God's best. Tune into this week's message titled, “From Pride to Humility”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Captivate Your Classroom with Dr. Marc IsseksIn this episode of My EdTech Life, I sit down with Dr. Marc Isseks, author of Captivate, to explore how educators can break free from “cognitive entrenchment” and rediscover what it means to truly engage learners.

What happens when you mix Keanu Reeves, a scenery-chewing Al Pacino, and a Faustian bargain?Andrew Neiderman's novel was originally going to be adapted in the early 90s, directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Brad Pitt, but casting Satan proved difficult and so the project was halted.Speak of the devil, the O.J. Simpson trial gave new life to this story, and everyone became interested in courtroom drama and corrupt lawyers. The movie was resurrected, with Keanu Reeves choosing it over Speed 2, and the production desperate to entice Al Pacino to play the devil. Maybe they made a deal with the devil? In a bizarre twist worthy of the film itself, a copyright violation lawsuit forced the studio to digitally amend key scenes, proving that even fictional devils face real-world consequences.Inspired by John Milton's Paradise Lost, Dante's Inferno, and the Faust legend woven into late 90s Manhattan, The Devil's Advocate remains a fascinating time capsule of '90s excess while asking timeless questions about the price of success and the susceptibility of human ambition and greed.

Season 25, Episode 97 - Shaun Boyce, Bobby SchindlerJoin hosts Shaun Boyce and Bobby Schindler on the GoTennis! Podcast for an inspiring and heartfelt conversation with Dave Chatterjee, a renowned cybersecurity thought leader, former University of Georgia professor, and adjunct at Duke University. Beyond his professional accolades as an author, podcaster, and speaker, Dave reveals his deep-rooted passion for tennis—a sport that's been a constant in his life since childhood in India.In this episode, Dave shares how he balanced academia with immersing himself in tennis, from traveling with his junior national player son, Victor, to driving hours for training sessions and offering "unsolicited advice" to pro coaches. He opens up about the emotional pull of the game, including tearful moments during Grand Slam ceremonies, and reflects on why tennis resonates so profoundly with him despite not being a top player himself.The heart of the discussion is Dave's gripping personal story: how a intense league match uncovered a life-threatening 90% blockage in his "Widowmaker" artery, leading to a double bypass surgery that saved his life. He credits tennis for both revealing the issue through physical exertion and aiding his recovery, emphasizing the importance of proactive health checks, listening to your body, and not ignoring symptoms—advice that's especially relevant for tennis enthusiasts and coaches.Dave also weighs in as "King of Tennis," advocating for player welfare with suggestions like switching to best-of-three sets and easing grueling schedules to prevent burnout and injuries. Plus, enjoy fun anecdotes about over-involved parents (including Dave's self-deprecating tales), family dynamics in sports, and shoutouts to Atlanta's tennis scene.Whether you're a cybersecurity pro, tennis parent, recreational player, or health-conscious listener, this episode blends humor, vulnerability, and wisdom. Tune in for motivation to hit the courts—and maybe schedule that checkup!

After the last three weeks with Dante, we jump to another three-week series with Shakespeare and NINE plays!Shakespeare can be daunting, so I offer a few thoughts on how to approach him: Watch a movie FIRSTGet a good edition (hello, Folger Shakespeare Library)Keep a one-line-per-scene summary as you readEnjoy!! It will get easier and the plays are so very worthwhile.Hamlet dazzles with layered characters and razor-sharp language. Prince Hamlet wrestles with grief, revenge, and perhaps madness, while Claudius broods over the cost of his own sin. My own final note: “Everyone dies except Horatio.”Macbeth feels darker and almost Greek. The witches act as oracles, but Macbeth isn't their puppet—he chooses evil. Lady Macbeth is more accelerant than mastermind, and the play pulses with ominous energy.King Lear hit me hardest. Lear is not villainous, just weary and reckless, longing to lay down his burdens—yet no one gets that choice. Dividing his kingdom invites betrayal from his elder daughters and the scheming Edmund, while steadfast Cordelia stands tragically apart. The repeated “nothing” captures the emptiness of abdicated duty.Together they reveal Shakespeare's trademarks: sudden madness, clever disguises, and language that still crackles, showing three kinds of downfall—the victim (Hamlet), the villain (Macbeth), and the feckless ruler (Lear).LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)My Hamlet Movie ChoiceMy MacBeth Movie ChoiceMy King Lear Movie Choice (Not actually that good but I still think about it)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

They explore the two major comic adaptations: the lively 'Marvel vs Godzilla,' which presents a series of entertaining short stories featuring Godzilla tangling with the likes of the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man, and the more narrative-driven 'Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong.' The former is described as an anthology of fun, where Godzilla disrupts familiar superhero narratives, making for some hilarious and chaotic showdowns. The latter, however, offers a deeper storyline with the Justice League grappling with Godzilla's rampage while tackling their own dilemmas, all under the shadow of Lex Luthor's manipulations. The banter between the hosts is just as engaging as the content, with witty exchanges and light-hearted jabs that keep the conversation lively and entertaining, making for a relaxed yet insightful exploration of these two universes.Takeaways: Joshua and TJ dive deep into the epic clash of titans, comparing Marvel's Godzilla to DC's Justice League versus Godzilla and Kong, exploring unique storytelling elements.

Have you ever noticed how much time we spend measuring things in life? We keep track of promotions, paychecks, grades, likes, followers, even steps on our watches. Measuring isn't the problem, it's just that sometimes we're measuring the wrong things.That's exactly what Jesus addresses in Matthew 25. In His story of the talents, the Master doesn't reward the servant for results, fame, or accomplishments. He celebrates something else entirely. This Sunday we continued in our series MULTIPLY, looking at how we recalibrate our hearts to heaven's scoreboard and rediscover the joy of living faithfully with what God has placed in our hands in a message called, “What the Master Measures”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Send us a textThis week on The Less Stressed Life, Tracy Goodwin joins me to talk about the Psychology of the Voice and how our subconscious experiences shape the way we sound. We dig into the seven layers of sound she hears in every voice, the “voice masks” that hide our authenticity, and the five wounds that often cause us to hold back or be misunderstood. Tracy shares how uncovering your real voice can dramatically change connection, confidence, and even business results.If you've ever felt like your voice didn't fully represent who you are — or noticed people misinterpret you despite your best intentions — this conversation will help you understand the deeper psychology behind your voice and how to reveal the truest version of yourself.Take Tracy's quiz on how to unmask your unique voice personality: https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/621a5513edca630018200027KEY TAKEAWAYS:Your voice is shaped by subconscious “stories” created from early life experiences.Six of the seven layers of sound are protective masks; only the seventh is your authentic voice.Voice masks like “the cheerleader” or “the people pleaser” block connection and authenticity.The five core wounds — judgment, rejection, abandonment, belonging, and worthiness — are at the root of how we sound.Revealing your authentic voice improves relationships, influence, and trust.ABOUT GUEST:Voice researcher and coach Tracy Goodwin, owner of Captivate the Room and creator of Psychology of the Voice® has taught thousands of celebrities, professionals, and entrepreneurs to transform their voices from the inside out with her unique approach, which gets to the core of a person's internal voice psychology and external sounds that are repelling, misrepresenting, and costing them 30-90% in impact, influence and revenue. Tracy makes the invisible visible to next-level your relationships, business and overall success.

On the Schmooze Podcast: Leadership | Strategic Networking | Relationship Building
Today's guest has been behind the scenes supporting the success of this podcast—and my original show, On the Schmooze. In July 2015, I started researching how to launch a podcast. That fall, I began recording interviews. But it wasn't until I hired an editor the following summer that I felt ready to release those episodes. On July 19, 2016, my first podcast, On the Schmooze, officially launched—and it ran weekly for 8.5 years. That same editor has been with me ever since, now supporting my Biz Book Pub Hub twice-a-week podcast. He's a seasoned podcast producer, strategist, and founder of Podcast Guy Media. Since 2015, he has helped launch, shape, and grow dozens of shows, producing well over 3,000 episodes. His specialty? Helping authors, business owners, and thought leaders create high-quality, lead-generating podcasts without the overwhelm. From content planning and guest booking to editing, show notes, scheduling, and promotion, he handles it all. He's also one of our Biz Book Pub Hub Partners, supporting nonfiction authors in transforming their books into binge-worthy podcasts and compelling audiobooks. He brings a rare mix of technical expertise, marketing savvy, and genuine care that helps every client's message shine. Please join me in welcoming Joshua Rivers. In this episode, we discuss the following:

Jack is back as we discuss Paradiso, Jack's favorite part of Dante's Divine Comedy. I absolutely love getting to chat with him again (see a couple of earlier episodes linked below). We talk about why he loves Dante in general, and Paradiso in particular. Highlights include:Dante's bravery (or chutzpah!) in writing his poetry and scholarly works in Italian rather than Latin;Who Dante is for (spoiler--it's for YOU), and why (the title of this episode is a big hint!);How people of different ages see Dante in a different light;Why a map of Heaven is really hard to draw, especially compared to Hell and Purgatory.Jack wrote his thesis on part of Paradiso, and he has a lot of experience in the classroom with the Divine Comedy, so he brings a lot of his knowledge to expand on what we've been talking about for the last two weeks.This episode forms a kind of trilogy on Crack the Book: two weeks ago we discussed Inferno, and last week my friend Lisa and I covered Purgatorio. It's my hope that these three podcasts will inspire you to pick up your own copy of the Divine Comedy and jump in.Next week we start Shakespeare...so get ready.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)Crack the Book, Inferno EpisodeCrack the Book, Purgatorio EpisodeCONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm
