Filming THE THING meant spending weeks in sub-zero temps in Stewart, British Columbia — and a bus crash that nearly killed the cast and crew before the shoot even began. In Part 3 of our deep dive, we cover the brutal Canadian location shoot, Carpenter's script rewrites happening in real time, the practical explosions built by effects coordinator Roy Arbogast, as well as the strange, difficult collaboration with legendary composer Ennio Morricone on the film's minimalist score.

Since being introduced to Jon Gordon '93 just a few weeks ago, Michelle has read seven of his books—and genuinely feels changed by them. Then we talked with Jon, and Steph felt it too. There is something about the way Jon thinks, teaches and tells a story that stays with you.Jon is the bestselling author of more than 30 books, including The Energy Bus, The Carpenter, The Hard Hat and The Power of Positive Habits. He is also one of the world's most sought-after speakers and works with CEOs, business leaders, coaches and some of the most successful teams in college and professional sports.We talk about his Cornell lacrosse years, the extraordinary story of George Boiardi '04, and Jon gets remarkably candid about his own struggles with negativity, fear, failure, forgiveness and marriage. He shares why we should talk to ourselves instead of listening to ourselves, what it means to “forgive fast,” and how small changes in the way we think can change our lives.And beyond all the wisdom, we just really like Jon. He is warm, funny, generous and completely genuine—and we left this conversation understanding why so many people respond so deeply to him.A huge thank you our Vino (episode 242) for introducing us. We're very grateful you did. This one is special.Find Jon Gordon here: https://jongordon.comHis podcast: The Jon Gordon PodcastNot sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University

THE NIGHT HE CAME HOME—AND CHANGED HORROR FOREVER! Taking care of your health just got easier – start here with Zocdoc: https://zocdoc.com/REJECTS #sponsored Jackie Bonsignore & Jon Maturan experience John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) in this full movie reaction and review of the landmark slasher classic. Fifteen years after a horrifying childhood crime, Michael Myers escapes confinement and returns to Haddonfield, where babysitter Laurie Strode slowly realizes that the silent figure watching her may be far more than an ordinary man. From the chilling opening POV and Michael appearing behind the hedge to the ghost-sheet disguise, the iconic head tilt, Laurie's closet confrontation, and John Carpenter's legendary Halloween theme, Jackie & Jon encounter the night The Shape became a horror icon—all without spoilers here! Halloween (1978) Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Directed and scored by John Carpenter (The Thing, Escape from New York) and co-written by Debra Hill (The Fog, Halloween II), Halloween stars Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode (True Lies, Everything Everywhere All at Once), Donald Pleasence as Dr. Samuel Loomis (The Great Escape, You Only Live Twice), Nancy Kyes as Annie Brackett (Assault on Precinct 13, Halloween III), P.J. Soles as Lynda Van Der Klok (Carrie, Rock 'n' Roll High School), Charles Cyphers as Sheriff Leigh Brackett (The Fog, Escape from New York), and Nick Castle as Michael Myers / The Shape (Escape from New York, The Last Starfighter). Jackie & Jon discuss Jamie Lee Curtis' feature-film debut, Michael Myers' terrifying simplicity, Dr. Loomis' warnings, Dean Cundey's atmospheric cinematography, Carpenter's unforgettable score, the movie's slow-building suspense, its most influential scares, and whether the original Halloween remains the greatest slasher movie ever made.

Is gentle homeschooling truly effective, or does it risk leaving children unprepared compared to a rigorous, structured approach?  In this episode, Carrie sits down with Christina Carpenter to explore the Gentle vs Rigorous Home Education debate.  Christina is a homeschool mom of four with over 15 years of experience (and one high school graduate), founder of Authentic Joy in the Journey, and creator of Bloom & Blossom conferences. They explore the definition what is “gentle” and “rigorous” homeschooling, examine what each looks like in daily life, and discuss how a gentle, wonder-filled education can also be rich, deep, and academically strong.  Carrie and Christina address common criticisms head-on: Is a gentler rhythm “lazy,” does it lack discipline, will it create educational gaps, or does it fail to prepare children for the future. Both Carrie and Christina share the key benefits they have seen in their own families and offer practical wisdom on the strengths and qualities this approach cultivates.  For moms just starting out or transitioning from a more traditional, highly structured style, this episode provides simple, actionable steps to begin shifting toward a gentler rhythm in the home.  Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up, and join Christina and Carrie for a little coffee and conversation about gentle homeschooling.Check out Christina's Website:  https://www.christinacarpenter.org/Learn about her 2027 Bloom & Blossom Mom Conference:  https://www.christinacarpenter.org/bloom-and-blossom-conferenceConnect with Christina on Instagram and TikTok  @authenticjoyinthejourneyJoin our Costa Rica Culture & Nature Study Adventure Trip for Homeschoolers.

The ancients didn't just fear death — they weaponized it, leaving behind curses in hieroglyphics meant to haunt anyone brave enough to look.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/CursesCarvedInStoneREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3cfn27cpFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: They say grief lingers in the house where children were murdered… but so does something colder, crueler — and far more dangerous.

(The Spirits of Banshee Labyrinth) *** The last person to see Virginia alive passed a polygraph — but his wife said he didn't come home until hours later. (The Vanishing of Virginia Carpenter) *** Asteroids, alien civilizations, even cosmic plagues — the real terror isn't what we can see in the sky… it's what we can't. (Space Threats to Earth) *** It started with flirtation, turned into an affair, and ended with a gunshot echoing through the cold night air in a Walgreen's parking lot. (Three Shots In The Night) *** They carved their warnings into stone 4,000 years ago — and now, after centuries of silence, the hieroglyphic curses of the dead are being read aloud once again.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 01, 2025Weird Darkness explores ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic curses, the 1948 disappearance of Virginia Carpenter, asteroid and alien threats from space, Edinburgh's haunted Banshee Labyrinth, the Walgreens murder of Emmett Corrigan, and the 1865 Wisconsin ax killings linked to the restless dead of Waupun.It opens with curses carved into ancient Egyptian tombs, from the 4,000-year-old Execration Texts to warnings left by Harkhuf, Ankhtifi, Khentika Ikhekhi, Hezi, Sarenput I, Ankhmahor, Senenmut, and Pharaoh Amenhotep. These hieroglyphic threats promised strangulation, mutilation, divine judgment, destroyed families, and even attacks by crocodiles and serpents against anyone who violated the dead.From there, 21-year-old Virginia Carpenter vanishes after arriving in Denton, Texas, on June 1, 1948, to attend the Texas State College for Women. Taxi driver Edgar Ray “Jack” Zachary said he left her outside Brackenridge Hall with two unidentified men beside a cream-colored convertible, but Carpenter never checked in, and later leads—including a possible Arkansas sighting and a 1998 burial-site tip—failed to solve the case.Next, the danger moves into space with asteroid 2024 YR4, theories about weaponized asteroid-deflection technology, Cixin Liu's “dark forest” view of hostile alien civilizations, and Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe's idea that viruses could arrive from space. The episode also traces fears of catastrophe from the sky back to the ancient Cosmic Hunt tradition and the Sámi story of an arrow striking the pole star.The episode then descends beneath Edinburgh's Old Town into The Banshee Labyrinth, a rock and metal pub built partly inside the South Bridge vaults. Reports include a screaming banshee in a gray dress, the ghost of a child named Molly who disappeared in 1814, the mischievous Ole Jock in the women's restroom, and unexplained cold spots, moving glasses, and shadows inside the historic underground chambers.From Edinburgh, the story shifts to Meridian, Idaho, where attorney Emmett Corrigan's affair with paralegal Kandi Hall ended in three gunshots outside a Walgreens on March 11, 2011. Kandi's husband, Rob Hall, survived a gunshot wound to the head, Corrigan died from wounds to the heart and skull, and Hall was convicted of second-degree murder in 2012 and sentenced to 30 years in prison.The episode closes with the December 3, 1865 murders of three children at Anton and Amelia Koch's farm near Burlington, Wisconsin, where hired man Peter Frahm was convicted after bloody footprints, blood on his boots, and a stolen coin pouch tied him to the ax killings. Frahm died by hanging in the Wisconsin State Penitentiary in Waupun on March 21, 1871, and reports of whispers, cold presences, apparitions of children, and a darker shadow have since attached themselves to both the old Koch property and the unmarked graves of the State Prison Cemetery.LIKE WHAT YOU'RE HEARING?

Authorities built part of the case against Bryan Kohberger through a combination of cell-site location information, surveillance footage, and DNA evidence, and the legal argument presented at the time was that investigators had obtained that evidence without violating the Fourth Amendment. Police had Kohberger's phone number from an earlier traffic stop and later obtained warrants for his historical cellular records. The initial warrant covered a limited period surrounding the murders, and investigators subsequently obtained authorization for a much broader range of records after reviewing the first set of data. Those records indicated that Kohberger's phone had connected to towers serving the area around the King Road residence on multiple occasions before the killings. On the night of the murders, the phone appeared to move away from Pullman before it stopped communicating with the cellular network for roughly two hours and then reappeared south of Moscow. Investigators argued that the phone data, when compared with surveillance footage of a white Hyundai Elantra traveling through the region, helped establish a timeline of Kohberger's alleged movements. Because investigators had obtained search warrants for the historical location information, the process was described as consistent with the Supreme Court's 2018 Carpenter v. United States decision, which imposed greater Fourth Amendment protections on long-term cell-site location records.The DNA portion of the investigation was also described as constitutionally permissible. Investigators had recovered male DNA from the button snap of the knife sheath found beside one of the victims and later used genetic genealogy techniques to help narrow their search. In December 2022, Pennsylvania authorities collected garbage that had been placed outside the Kohberger family residence and compared DNA recovered from that trash with the sheath profile. Testing indicated that the DNA from the garbage was overwhelmingly consistent with having come from the biological father of the man whose DNA had been found on the sheath, strengthening investigators' focus on Kohberger. The Fourth Amendment argument rested heavily on the Supreme Court's California v. Greenwood decision, which had established that police generally did not need a warrant to search garbage left outside a residence for collection because a person no longer retained a reasonable expectation of privacy in it. Taken together, the phone records, vehicle surveillance and DNA work were presented as evidence obtained through established constitutional procedures rather than unlawful searches, with the resulting information helping investigators establish probable cause for Kohberger's arrest.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The usual complaint about the New Testament's use of the Old is that the apostles play fast and loose. Dr. Gary Edward Schnittjer thinks the problem runs the other direction. The Old Testament has gone missing from the research, and once you cut it off, ordinary exegetical moves start looking bizarre. Second Temple interpreters and the New Testament authors resemble each other because they were both apprenticed to the same thousand years of Old Testament authors interpreting earlier Old Testament texts. In this episode, Dr. James Spencer and Dr. Schnittjer work through what he calls vertical context. Scholarship attends to the paragraph and chapter around a quoted verse. What gets skipped is the depth beneath it. More than eighty times, the New Testament cites an Old Testament text that is already citing something older. Zechariah's king on a donkey reaches back to the blessing of Judah in Genesis 49, blended with Isaiah 62, and by the time the gospel writers use it, the donkey is carrying a great deal more than a rider. Hebrews turns out to be interested in Torah almost everywhere while quoting Torah almost nowhere, working instead through Psalm 8, Psalm 95, Psalm 110, and Jeremiah. They also take up fulfillment, which in English carries a prediction-and-payoff sense the Hebrew does not require. Matthew's formula comes off the same plane as 2 Chronicles 36, where fulfilling a word means enacting it into reality rather than clocking a duration. That reframes the hard cases. Hosea 11 contains no prediction at all, but Hosea himself reads Jacob's life forward typologically, so Matthew is reading Hosea the way Hosea reads Scripture. The conversation closes on why this is not a license for interpretive improvisation. Dr. Schnittjer argues for plain sense exegesis throughout, which means reading each author with the grain rather than imposing a modern logic and calling it faithfulness. Dr. Gary Edward Schnittjer is distinguished professor of Old Testament for Cairn Theological Seminary at Cairn University. He writes at Carpenter's Student.

It's time to visit the apocryphal gospels with The Carpenter's Son, which marks our return to "fully caught up on Cage" status! After exploring why Nicolas Cage wanted to do this movie (including the "insult" he suffered before this and how this whole thing seems to have backfired), we talk about some new Nicolas Cage news, including a release date for Madden (Nov. 18 on Amazon Prime!) and a movie from the director of Stolen that was... stolen... from Netflix?! Then, we shift our focus to The Carpenter's Son. Joey offers Mike some context for other actors in this movie, while Mike wonders whether this movie was mismarketed. We discuss the film's strong start as well as its struggle to match that height again. Why does it seem like there's such little story here? We try to figure that out. We also highlight the elements we like from the movie, as we want to bring some positivity to it. We then turn our eyes to the future and look at Nicolas Cage's IMDb to see his eight (!) upcoming projects.

Most readers hear "Old Testament use of the Old Testament" and picture quotations. Dr. Gary Edward Schnittjer says quotation is the small end of it. An interpretive allusion needs three things: a donor text that gives the language, a receptor text that takes it up, and an identifiable interpretive outcome. That third item is what separates an allusion from an echo, and it is also why later biblical authors so often change the wording. Saying the same thing again was never the point. Moving it forward was. In this episode, Dr. James Spencer talks with Dr. Schnittjer about his forthcoming Old Testament Use of Old Testament in Parallel Layout from Zondervan Academic, a full-color, side-by-side presentation of the evidence built as an inductive tool rather than an argument. They work through Genesis 5 as an interpretive blend of Genesis 1 and 2, where the image of God turns out to mean son of God. Amos taunting his congregation about bringing sacrifices every three days. The Sabbath command, which stops being a capital matter by the time Nehemiah is arguing with merchants at the gates, and which had already been adjusted once inside the Ten Commandments themselves. The long middle of the conversation is Ruth. Levirate marriage, land redemption, the rights of gleaning, and the Deuteronomic exclusion of Moabites all pressing on one another at the city gate, with the Davidic covenant hanging on how the exclusion gets read. Dr. Schnittjer will not let his students say kinsman redeemer. He makes them say financially responsible near relative, because the plain term forces you to stay in the moment instead of leaping past it. The gospel is already here, he argues. We do not have to smuggle it in. Content note: the conversation includes a brief discussion of the rape of Tamar in 2 Samuel 13 and the rape laws of Deuteronomy 22. Dr. Gary Edward Schnittjer is distinguished professor of Old Testament for Cairn Theological Seminary at Cairn University. He writes at Carpenter's Student. This is part three of our conversation, and the first of two on the parallel layout project. In the next episode we turn to the New Testament use of the Old Testament.

Expanding the dystopian wasteland of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981) took dirt cheap, surprisingly effective special effects and relentless location scouting. Part 2 of our deep dive details the transition from practical prison sets to the high-tech police state, including how the crew got creative to get around city liability, a young James Cameron's uncredited hand in building the skyline, and an entire prologue that never made the final cut. None of it cost much. All of it stuck — Carpenter's grimy vision of the future became the template for a decade of imitators. Want the full story without the wait?

It is surprising how little people talk about Robocop. When it first came out it was amazing. The character was awesome, the movie was great, and the action was second to none. As is usually the case, the sequels worsened and the recent remake was not so great. Still, it is surprising to see how the property has all but disappeared. The days of telling a singular story in one movie seem to be gone. Weapons was one of our favorite movies from last year. That being said, we really were not clamoring for more. Unsurprisingly, we are lukewarm on news of the upcoming Gladys prequel. There is still a very good chance that it will be just as great as the source material, but we aren't stoked for it. Ice Cream Man is the latest release from Eli Roth. It is wacky, over the top, and very very bloody. It is the most Eli Rothiest movie ever. It is something of a passion project where Roth did every crazy thing he has ever wanted to do. The end result is a very silly and entertaining watch. We also try to figure out what Roth's place in horror is. He definitely is not up there with the greats like Carpenter and Romero, but he has also left behind an impressive body of work. Is it enough to consider him an icon or is he just a name people know? Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Ezra-Nehemiah opens on a high note. Yahweh keeps the word he spoke through Jeremiah, Cyrus issues the edict, and the exiles go home. By the last chapter, Nehemiah is walking the city alone, pulling out men's hair and cursing them, and the collective repentances that filled the middle of the book have evaporated. Dr. Gary Edward Schnittjer argues that most of the literature, popular and technical alike, has quietly declined to read that ending as an ending. In this episode, Dr. James Spencer talks with Dr. Schnittjer about his forthcoming commentary on Ezra-Nehemiah in the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament series. They start with the hyphen. Ezra-Nehemiah is one book split across two scrolls for the same practical reason Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles were split, and reading half of an already difficult book makes it nearly unreadable. From there they work through what happens when you let the ending stand: if the exile was supposed to reform the people, it did not, and God will have to keep his word some other way. Along the way, Nehemiah 8 through 10, where the people ask Ezra for the Torah scroll at the Water Gate on an ordinary day, study Scripture together for eleven days, and then sign an oath committing themselves to a standard higher than the one Torah sets. The canonical question of why the Hebrew Bible ends in Chronicles on a note of hope while Ezra-Nehemiah ends in failure. And the mass divorces, which Dr. Schnittjer reads against the grain of the usual explanations. The book never calls these others Gentiles or foreigners. It calls them non-covenantal. The pressure was economic before it was ethnic, and Ezra-Nehemiah keeps the camera on the whole community rather than the individual households. Dr. Gary Edward Schnittjer is distinguished professor of Old Testament for Cairn Theological Seminary at Cairn University. He writes at Carpenter's Student. Get Ezra-Nehemiah (Baker Commentary on the Old Testament) at amazon.com. This is part two of our conversation.

Mark 6:1-6 Jesus goes home to Nazareth — and sees the people who watched Him grow up. They know His mother, His brothers, His sisters. Isn't that just the carpenter? They think and when He stands up in the synagogue and teaches with astonishing wisdom, they don't fall to their knees. They fold their arms. In this episode we walk through the verse that says "And he could do no mighty work there." Was Jesus not strong enough? Not for one second. Kids will learn why the King held back the joy of His kingdom from a town that had shut the door on Him — and why sometimes a big danger isn't doubting Jesus, but getting used to Him. WHAT KIDS WILL LEARN "His own country" / "hometown" means Nazareth — the village where Jesus grew up (He was born in Bethlehem, raised in Nazareth) Being astonished by Jesus is not the same as believing in Jesus Calling Him "the son of Mary" instead of "the son of Joseph" was a quiet insult "Could do no mighty work" does not mean Jesus lacked power — it means it would have been wrong for the King to pour out His kingdom's joy on people who had rejected Him Jesus' miracles are signs, not tricks — windows showing the King has arrived Faith is a gift from God, not something we work up on our own -------- Thanks to today's sponsor, GoMinno!!

“It's not easy, but it is absolutely worth it.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast recorded at ChannelCon 2026, Danielle Carpenter of Xceptional discusses how the San Diego-based MSP is helping small and midsized businesses strengthen security and navigate Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification requirements. Xceptional supports a diverse SMB customer base, including organizations within the defense industrial base that handle sensitive government information. The company previously self-attested at CMMC Level 1 and is now preparing for a formal Level 2 assessment. “We've walked alongside our clients and partners on that journey and learned a tremendous amount,” Carpenter says. Xceptional has developed secure environments, reviewed licensing requirements and helped customers build security and compliance into their daily operations. The company is also working with a consultant, completing a mock audit and preparing for an assessment by a certified third-party organization. Carpenter says the process examines every part of the business that may interact with controlled unclassified information. Once certified, organizations must maintain compliance, retain supporting evidence and undergo reassessment every three years. The experience also allows Xceptional to provide practical, real-time guidance to customers undertaking the same journey. For defense contractors, selecting the right technology provider is especially important because compliance responsibilities may be shared between the customer and its MSP. “An MSP that is not following the proper security measures presents a very real threat to its clients,” Carpenter says. Although some MSPs may hesitate to enter the defense market because of its complexity, she says the opportunity is significant—and the security mission is critical as threats increasingly target the government supply chain.

Hello! My name is Marc Allie. I'm a teacher, blogger, author, and pretty much the biggest nerd you'll ever meet. As a longtime Video Store Podcast listener, I am thrilled to be a member of the staff. For our staff picks this week, I've got four recommendations from the varied career of Kurt Russell.Escape from New York (1981)Escape from New York is the film that cemented Kurt Russell's transition into a motion picture powerhouse. The film was directed by John Carpenter and was written by Carpenter and Nick Castle. The movie has a low budget, but it became a cult classic over time. Kurt Russell plays Snake Plisskin, a hardened but cool anti-hero that became an action icon.Used Cars (1980)Used Cars is a lesser known film. It was directed by Robert Zemeckis, written by Zemeckis and Bob Gale, and produced by Steven Spielberg, so it's got quite a pedigree behind it. The movie, as you might expect, is about used cars. Two rival used car dealerships sit right across the highway from each other. Rudy Russo, Kurt Russell's character, works at the less reputable of the two car lots. His performance as a slick used car salesman shows off his comedic chops.Soldier (1998) Soldier was directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. Kurt Russell plays the “Soldier” of the title. His name is Todd 3465. That's right, he doesn't have a last name, only a number. Todd has been raised from birth to be an emotionless soldier. Todd is the best of the best, but when the “newer model” of soldier comes along, he's tossed out with the trash and has to make a new life for himself. Russell relies on his physical prowess as well as expressions and body language in this nearly wordless role.Executive Decision (1996)The last movie on our recommendations list is Executive Decision, an action thriller directed by Stuart Bird. The film mixes military action, espionage, and suspense to great effect. It's one of the better “Die Hard on an airplane” movies of the 1990s. Kurt Russell plays an intelligence analyst who is thrust into an impossible situation: board a plane filled with terrorists while it's already in the air.Thanks for coming into the store today. Let me know what you think of my staff picks! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.videostorepodcast.com

Christians have inherited a strange habit of treating the Old Testament as optional. Dr. Gary Edward Schnittjer argues that Jesus and the apostles would not have understood the question. There was a gospel, a Messiah, and a church before there was a New Testament, and none of it was possible without the Scriptures Israel already had. Even the word "gospel" comes to Mark by way of Isaiah. In this episode, Dr. James Spencer talks with Dr. Schnittjer about his new book, Connected: How Scripture Guides the Study of Scripture. The premise is that the Bible already teaches us how to read it. Story teaches us to read story in Deuteronomy 6. Prophecy teaches us to read prophecy in Zechariah 1. Poetry and wisdom teach us to read poetry and wisdom in Psalm 1. Jesus models the whole thing in the synagogue at Nazareth in Luke 4. Along the way they work through continuity and discontinuity between the testaments, the burden of holiness carried by the priests and what Hebrews does with it, Daniel's need for help understanding Jeremiah, and the strange counterpoint in Jeremiah 44 where survivors of Jerusalem's fall blame Josiah's reforms for the disaster. They close on Deuteronomy as a book that builds an entire culture of Scripture study, from the king who writes his own copy of the law to the whole covenant community gathered every seven years to hear it read. Dr. Gary Edward Schnittjer is distinguished professor of Old Testament for Cairn Theological Seminary at Cairn University. He writes at Carpenter's Student. This is part one of a two-part conversation. In the next episode, Dr. Spencer and Dr. Schnittjer turn to Ezra-Nehemiah.

Hi friends! We're taking a bit of a summer pause. We'll be back soon—in the meanwhile, enjoy this listener favorite from our archives! ----- [originally aired July 10, 2025] Childhood is a special time, a strange time. Children are adored and catered to—they're given their own menus and bedrooms. They're considered delicate and precious, and so we cushion them from every imaginable risk. Kids are encouraged to play, of course—but very often it's under the watchful eye of anxious adults. This, anyway, is how childhood looks in much of the United States today. But is this the way childhood looks everywhere? Is this the way human childhoods have always been? My guests today are Dr. Dorsa Amir and Dr. Sheina Lew-Levy. Dorsa is an Assistant Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience at Duke University, where she runs the Mind and Culture Lab. Sheina is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Durham University in the UK, where she co-directs the Forager Child Studies research group. Both Sheina and Dorsa have spent much of their careers thinking about how childhoods differ across cultures—and why. In this conversation, I talk with Dorsa and Sheina about their fieldwork with indigenous groups in Ecuador and the Congo, respectively. We discuss the different ways that childhood differs in these places—for instance, in terms of parents' attitudes toward risk, in terms of the social structures and activities in which kids are embedded, and in terms of the freedom that children are granted. We discuss developmental psychology's "WEIRD problem." We talk about the quasi-autonomous cultures that children create among themselves—sometimes called "peer cultures"—and discuss how these kid-driven cultures end up shaping and benefit the larger community. Along the way, we touch on adult supremacy, adverse childhood experiences, walking the forest and climbing papaya trees, parenting norms, ding dong ditch and "nananabooboo", the pioneering work of the folklorists Iona and Peter Opie, teaching, toys, and the enduring question of what childhood is for.   Alright friends, lots to think about here. On to my conversation with Sheina Lew-Levy and Dorsa Amir. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode is available here.   Notes and links 9:30 – For an overview of work on how culture shapes motor development, see here. 11:00 – The paper by Dr. Lew-Levy's and a colleague about "walking the forest." 16:00 – Dr. Amir's TedX talk, 'How the Industrial Revolution Changed Childhood.' 17:30 – For some of Dr. Amir's work on risk across cultures, see here. 35:00 – For a recent paper by Dr. Lew-Levy and colleagues about the evolution of childhood, see here. 39:00 – The popular article by Ann Gibbons, 'The Birth of Childhood.' 41:00 – For the idea of the "patriarch hypothesis," see here. 42:00 – For more on the "WEIRD problem" in developmental psychology, see here. 48:00 – A paper by Dr. Lew-Levy and colleagues about toys in hunter-gatherer groups.

Bass After Dark — inch for inch and pound for pound, the best show in fishing — is back for another lively, and LIVE, episode. Don't miss Ken Duke, Brian the Carpenter, and our three mystery panelists (spoiler alert: it's Dr. Terry Battisti, Mike Davis, and Jason Flesher) as we tackle the question: What are the greatest big bass stories ever told?

In ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981), John Carpenter gambled his biggest budget yet on transforming a former Disney child star into the ultimate anti-authority badass. Part 1 of our deep diver covers the genesis of Snake Plissken, starting with Carpenter pulling a shelved script out of his car trunk to satisfy a studio contract. We look at the fight to cast Kurt Russell over established tough guys like Charles Bronson, the bizarre brilliance of Donald Pleasence as the President, and the punishing reality of shooting entirely at night in the rubble of East St. Louis.

We're continuing our journey through Nicolas Cage's recent filmography by talking about The Surfer, which premiered at Cannes! After talking about how critics loved it (but fans didn't), we share our favorite details and moments, like: it's an Australian Christmas movie... it's the summer! We heap praise on both Nicolas Cage and Julian McMahon's performances, and talk about how it feels like this is a return to a Vampire's Kiss-esque character for Cage. So much feels like a dream... but isn't... and we talk about what that does for the movie. Joey praises it for being a really tight film with such clear wants and needs, Mike compares this surf crew to the one in Point Break, and we both talk about the rat being an item in old point-and-click PC adventure games. We look ahead to The Carpenter's Son and talk about showing off Cage's lesser-known films. Joey shares the level of artistic impact he has achieved on behalf of #CageClub.

This week, Josh and Drusilla celebrate the legacy of Sam Neill with In the Mouth of Madness (1994). From wiki: “In the Mouth of Madness is a 1994 American supernatural horror film directed and scored by John Carpenter and written by Michael De Luca. It stars Sam Neill, Julie Carmen, Jürgen Prochnow, David Warner and Charlton Heston. Neill stars as John Trent, an insurance investigator who visits a small town while looking into the disappearance of a successful author of horror novels, and begins to question his sanity as the lines between reality and fiction seem to blur. Informally, the film is the third and final installment in what Carpenter refers to as his "Apocalypse Trilogy", preceded by The Thing (1982) and Prince of Darkness (1987).[2]Also discussed: Castle Rock, Lovecraft Country, Golden Eighties (1986), Dracula A.D. 1972, Psychomania, John Carpenter, Sam Neill, Kevin Costner, New Line Cinema, and more. NEXT WEEK: Sisters (1972)Bloodhaus: https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/  

When Jessica Carpenter was found murdered in her home on August 4, 2000 investigators searched for answers in what proved to be a very complicated case. As they did, rumors spread throughout the neighborhood, suspicions reached the people closest to the victim, and every lead seemed to raise more questions than it answered. The truth remained hidden behind an ordinary summer day and a series of moments that, at first glance, appeared completely unremarkable. What began as the murder of a 17-year-old girl would grow into a years-long mystery—one that challenged investigators, tested a grieving family, and proved that sometimes the most devastating crimes begin with something so routine that no one gives it a second thought.Sponsors:Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.
