This episode, we have a super fun Mostly Horror Rewind! We're bringing back an old episode from years ago, when we brought on our friends Brandon and Bruce to build bands using horror characters. From Six Shooter of Puppet Master on the keys to Pennywise on the drums to The Babadook as the lead vocalist, we compare our ideal horror character bands, share our wild band names, and debate why these characters would make perfect, and probably terrifying, bands. It's a game we had a blast playing, and we're sure you'll have a great time tuning in, so... COME HANG OUT!!!

Send Kevin a Text MessageAcademy Award-nominated screenwriter and director Billy Ray joins host Kevin Goetz for a wide-ranging conversation about what makes stories work and why emotion, character, and integrity sit at the center of great screenwriting. Ray's credits include Captain Phillips, The Hunger Games, Shattered Glass, Richard Jewell, State of Play, Breach, and Flightplan. He discusses the lessons he learned from writers and films that shaped him, the discipline that has sustained his career, adapting The Hunger Games, learning from failure as a director, and why audiences need to care about what happens rather than simply wonder what happens next.Integrity, Emotion, and the Stories Billy Ray Tells (01:41): Ray identifies integrity as the recurring theme in his work and explains why the best screenwriting is an intellectual exercise designed to create an emotional response. If audiences are thinking about how smart the writing is rather than feeling the story, he says, the writer has missed the mark.Early Experiences, Curiosity, and Becoming a Storyteller (05:29): Ray reflects on experiences that shaped him at a young age and how they contributed to his sensitivity to other people's emotions. He and Goetz discuss empathy, curiosity, and why genuine interest in other people is essential to both writing and life.Knowing Your Audience: Messaging and Persuasion (13:35): A discussion about political communication becomes a broader conversation about audiences. Ray argues that effective messaging begins by understanding where people are emotionally and moving them from there, a principle Goetz connects directly to movie marketing and persuasive advertising.What Makes a Great Screenplay? (22:38): Ray recalls growing up around writers through his father, a literary agent, and being handed Alvin Sargent's Ordinary People screenplay as the standard to aspire to. He explains his fundamental rule of character: a protagonist needs both an external problem to solve and an internal problem that only the journey of the movie can fix.Great Characters, Great Villains, and the Cathartic Contract (26:29): Using Ordinary People, Rocky, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Sound of Music, and Schindler's List, Ray and Goetz examine character construction. Ray argues that a great antagonist needs a defensible point of view and that every supporting character should reveal a different facet of the protagonist.Outworking the Competition and Shattered Glass (42:01): Ray discusses early influences including Rod Serling, literature that challenged and comforted him, and his realization as a young writer that he could not control talent or the state of the industry, but he could control how hard he worked. He also names Shattered Glass, his feature directing debut, as the film of which he is most proud.The Hunger Games and the Art of Reverse Engineering (46:30): Ray remembers reading Suzanne Collins' novel overnight and immediately recognizing its potential. He describes using Jaws to persuade producer Nina Jacobson that changes could strengthen an adaptation, and explains the concept of reverse engineering a screenplay so the first two acts properly support a powerful ending. He also shares the extraordinary security measures involved in writing The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.Failure, Audience Testing, and the Oscar Chase (51:15): Ray speaks candidly about directing Secret in Their Eyes, recognizing that the film was not connecting strongly enough with audiences, and being shaken by the experience of losing an investor's money. He also reflects on his Oscar nomination for Captain Phillips, why awards can become addictive, and the danger of choosing projects because they seem like "Oscar movies" rather than because they are the right stories to tell.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Billy RayProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, Nick Nunez, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Billy Ray:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Ray_%28screenwriter%29IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0712753/Burn the Water: Available from Scholastic and booksellersFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

But does that mean all you need is some kind of Joe to play?

Hey Ohana, On this week's episode we break down the top 10 Disney characters that were played so perfectly by their actor/actress that we believe no one else could ever play them (although in some cases others have tried!) These character/actor combos blur the lines of who is the real person and who is the fictional character. We want to thank our friends, Vanessa and Andrew Prince and James Soares for being our guests this episode! Thank YOU for tuning in and as always... See Ya Real Soon! THANK YOU, to the official TA of MTADA, Sue Passauer. Sue is the only person we trust with our own family vacations and the travel advisor we trust to recommend to all of you in the Ohana!

Comedian and friend of the show Tony Baker pulled up and made a little Super Retro history as our first-ever in-studio guest to actually sit on the couch!

Episode 319The porch is open, Gamescom is bringing the gaming news, Halloween is creeping closer, and this week we're making room for both excitement and remembrance.On this episode of the M3P Podcast, we're jumping between video games, Fortnite, television, trading cards, horror, and the pop-culture memories that stay with us long after the moment has passed.

Tom Duncan and Sara Shea continue their journey with Dexter (2006) Season 1 - this time with episodes 2 and 3.In this week's episode, Sara and Thomas dive deep into the moral quandaries and psychological complexities surrounding Dexter. Their conversation reveals layers of character motivation and the philosophical implications of vigilante justice. At the start, Thomas introduces a unique concept: a safety net for the podcast. He suggests that if the show ever feels like a chore, they'll simply cut it short. One of the most intriguing discussions centers around the show's central mystery—the Ice Truck Killer. Sara questions how this character knows Dexter, leading Thomas to assure her that this mystery will unfold as the season progresses. Their conversation encapsulates the essence of *Dexter*, from its character complexities to the narrative structure. As they navigate through the series, listeners are left with more questions and a deeper curiosity about the unfolding story.Chapters:00:00 Introduction, Opening Credits, and First Impressions04:06 Investment in Characters and Storytelling08:37 Episode 209:53 Character Relationships and Development12:51 Thematic Elements of Justice and Morality15:59 The Role of Flashbacks in Character Insight19:00 Vigilantism vs. Serial Killing21:59 The Complexity of Dexter's Character24:46 Father-Son Dynamics and Their Impact26:51 Navigating the Show's Enjoyment29:53 Binge-Watching vs. Episodic Viewing32:57 Character Dynamics and Morality35:52 The Ice Truck Killer Mystery38:56 Character Relationships and Tensions40:43 Episode 349:50 The Vigilante Kill of the Week: Jeremy Downs51:44 Female Serial Killers and Dexter's Evolution53:25 The Complexity of Dexter's Character55:39 Philosophy and Theology in Dexter's Actions57:41 Dexter's Struggles with Relationships59:51 The Dichotomy of Dexter's Morality01:02:02 Intimacy Issues and Emotional Connections01:04:40 Character Development and Boundaries01:05:55 Rita's Character and Dexter's Compassion01:08:32 Peripheral Characters and Their Development01:10:49 Deb's Ambition and Matthews' Guidance01:14:16 Character Rankings and Relationships01:19:22 Characters Rankings01:22:34 Recommendations01:28:55 Comfort Shows and RecommendationsKeywords:Dexter, storytelling, character development, morality, vigilante justice, narrative structure, relationships, flashbacks, themes, investment, music, nostalgia, TV shows, opening credits, character analysis, humor, parody, pop culture, podcast, TV show, character analysis, Ice Truck Killer, binge-watching, episodic viewing, morality, character dynamics, plot development, television series, female serial killers, relationships, philosophy, intimacy issues, TV series, crime drama

Sometimes the feelings we cannot explain directly become easier to recognize when we meet them inside someone else's story. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Swati sits down with Nigerian American author and physician Nneka Oluoha to explore how fiction can create a safer reflective space for conversations around mental health, emotional struggle, family relationships and healing. Nneka shares how her upcoming novel, Live for Me, Nkem, explores depression, motherhood, marriage, cultural expectations and the struggles people can carry quietly behind closed doors. Rather than announcing everything a character is experiencing, she uses story, behavior and perspective to allow readers to gradually understand what is happening. The conversation explores why people sometimes remain silent when they are struggling, what happens when we recognize ourselves in fictional characters, and how stories can give us language for emotions we have never been able to describe. Nneka also speaks candidly about the emotional weight of writing difficult material. While writing from the perspectives of children affected by a parent's mental health struggles, she found some sections especially difficult. Her response was not to force the work, but to pace herself, walk, spend time in nature, lean on supportive relationships and sometimes put the manuscript away until she could return with greater clarity. Importantly, Nneka emphasizes that fiction is not a clinical textbook or a substitute for professional mental health support. Characters make mistakes, hold false beliefs and take actions that should not automatically be treated as real-world guidance. About Nneka Oluoha: Nneka Oluoha is a Nigerian American writer and physician. She completed medical school in Nigeria before moving to the United States, where she completed an internal medicine residency and now works as a hospitalist. Her writing is influenced by her Igbo heritage and an interest in family dynamics, identity, cultural expectations and the silent battles people carry. Her novel Live for Me, Nkem explores depression, marriage, motherhood, family expectations and hidden emotional struggles, and is scheduled for publication by Koehler Books on September 9, 2026. Key Takeaways: Fiction can create emotional distance that makes difficult experiences easier to explore. Recognizing yourself in a character can give language to feelings you have struggled to name. Human beings are complicated, and powerful characters rarely fit neatly into "good" or "bad." Silence may come from pain, fear, unreadiness or not feeling safe enough to revisit an experience. Stories can encourage reflection without becoming instructions for how someone should manage their mental health. Emotionally demanding creative work sometimes requires rest rather than more pressure. Walking, nature, supportive relationships and intentional breaks helped Nneka reconnect with her writing. Stepping away is not always giving up. Sometimes distance is what allows clarity to return.

Horror movies are frequently better because of their side characters. Whether they're scary, bizarre or hilarious, they frequently make the scares better or deliver much needed comedic relief in between terror and suspense. On this episode we were joined by McRib who presented this topic and we all showed up with a list of our favorites. Surprisingly there were almost no duplicate picks and it made for a really fun conversation on an underrated element of this genre we all love. Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and our blog.

In this episode, Dr. David Puder and his psychodynamic psychotherapy training cohort apply reflective function (RF) and mentalization concepts to John Steinbeck's masterpiece East of Eden. They examine how Reflective Function collapses under shame, rejection, threat, and attachment arousal across key characters. The discussion highlights that true personality health is not the absence of aggression, dependency, or guilt but the growing capacity to recognize conflicting self-parts, stay in contact with reality, and remain related to imperfect people.

This week, we’ll hear from Megan Piphus, a puppeteer and ventriloquist known for playing Gabrielle on Sesame Street. She’ll share how a childhood spent in her father’s church led her to an opportunity at the Jim Henson Company and how she’s since used puppetry to teach kids about God’s love. You’ll also meet her puppet, June Bug, who occasionally jumps in to help tell the story. Next, we’ll hear from legendary voice actor Jim Cummings, whose iconic performances as Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Darkwing Duck, and countless other beloved characters have brought comfort and joy to generations. Jim reflects on discovering his gift at a young age, the surprising path that led him into voice acting, and the unforgettable moments when his work became a source of hope for people facing difficult circumstances.

I knew very early that I had a calling to teach kids about God’s love.” - Megan Piphus “By teaching [children] something new, they are inspired to be anything.” - Megan Piphus “It is so important for young girls to see themselves represented in the most diverse spaces and unique spaces.” - Megan Piphus “Oftentimes, kids are told, ‘I don’t know if you can do that, or I don’t know if that’s possible.’ As we get older, our world slowly confines into a space of what we see is possible and what the world tells us is possible. What I loved about puppetry is it kind of broke the rules of what’s possible.” - Megan Piphus “I was always in a lot of plays as a child, and I didn’t want to be the student prince, or this and that. I wanted to be the troll that lived under the bridge. I was inadvertently doing research for what I was going to ultimately do when I grew up.” - Jim Cummings “Winnie the Pooh is like comfort for the soul. ‘You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.’ He’s got a lot of that folksy wisdom that people rely on to get through tough times. And I’ve just been very fortunate to be a part of that.” - Jim Cummings “I think the key word with Winnie the Pooh and the whole Hundred Acre Wood gang is ‘sincerity.’ It’s all just the interaction between friends, and it’s that bonding time, and it’s a celebration of the time in life when everything’s magical.” - Jim Cummings ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
