What happens when a former lawyer and pop musician gets told she's "too old" to write about desire—and builds a literary empire instead? In episode 249 of Joy Found Here, author Lexy Shaw Delorme shares how she turned publisher rejection into fuel for independence. After being told it's "unbecoming for a woman in her forties to still have sexual feelings," Lexy chose self-publishing and proved that refusing to wait for permission creates something extraordinary.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(04:12) From Music to Law to Literature: Lexy's Multi-Hyphenate Journey(05:38) Characters as Truth-Tellers: Why Fiction Lets You Say What You Can't(10:17) Finding Her Tribe: How Comic-Con Became the Perfect Venue(14:24) The Inclusive Magic of Comic-Con Culture(22:13) The Limerent Series: Four Books, One Converging World(29:30) Writing with ADHD: Achievable Goals and Family Accountability(35:32) "I'm Not Going to Allow Myself to Think I Can't Do It"(44:24) Fighting the Publishing Patriarchy: Why She Went Independent(47:36) Building a Creative Empire: Her Self-Publishing Team(53:06) Taking on Amazon and Where to Find Her BooksLexy Shaw Delorme is an award-winning American author based in Paris, known for her genre-defying Limerent Series written under the pen name S. Delorme. A true Renaissance woman—pop musician with an MTV feature, lawyer, 23andMe science writer, and sound engineer—she channels all those experiences into fiction that blends paranormal romance with legal thrillers and metaphysical mysteries. After rejecting traditional publishing's limitations (including being told it's "unbecoming for a woman in her forties to still have sexual feelings"), she built an independent publishing empire with her family. With nine books completed and a relentless creative drive fueled by ADHD, Lexy regularly appears at Comic-Cons and literary festivals across Europe and the US, proving you're never too old to write complex stories on your own terms.In this episode, Lexy returns with updates on launching her fifth book at New York Comic-Con and plans for a short story collection. She shares how Comic-Con became her ideal venue—a passionate, inclusive community of 250,000+ attendees who embrace boundary-pushing stories—and opens up about managing ADHD through achievable writing goals, treating her author career as a startup, and building a creative team with her son as developmental editor. Whether discussing constant creative momentum or recent Amazon challenges, Lexy's message is clear: passion, persistence, and refusing to wait for permission are the keys to creating the life and work you want.Connect with Lexy Shaw Delorme:WebsiteTikTokInstagramXSoundCloudGet Lexy's books!Let's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

The Watchers are back at PTMC for Season 2, Episode 7 of The Pitt, making our “1:00 PM” rounds. This hour takes on a difficult, often sensationalized subject with quiet care, thanks to our queen, Nurse Dana. And while things within Dana's radius remain steady, the rest of our doctors have honestly kinda gone Muppet mode.Abbott shows up early and immediately challenges our feminist values. Robby goes from Chief Attending Physician to Chief Attending Gossip. And Santos proves (once again) that we were obviously right to love her from day one: a statement that is technically untrue but spiritually correct.Also: the computers will be down next week.

Episode 46: Showgirls VS Alien This week, we dove headfirst into the neon chaos of Showgirls. Leah had seen it years ago. Shawn had not. We pressed play with cautious optimism. That optimism did not survive. The acting feels loud, awkward, and strangely theatrical. The story wanders. Characters make choices that defy logic. And yes, […] The post Showgirls VS Alien appeared first on The ESO Network.

Characters in peril, whether physical and/or emotional, tend to make good movie material, especially when those of us in the viewing audience can relate to what's going on. On this week's show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss a pair of movies that feature characters in various stages of duress. The first is the latest adaptation of Emily Brontë's novel “Wuthering Heights.” They follow that with the wild time-travel venture “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die.”

Chuck, we can't understand the plot because we can't understand your inner monologue. Just kick people in the face! There's a version of this movie that exists somewhere in the fog of its own whispery voiceovers—a lean, paranoid ninja thriller starring a prime-era Chuck Norris. Unfortunately, what we actually get is something bafflingly stupid and surprisingly hard to follow. Dialogue drifts in and out like it's being transmitted through a malfunctioning shortwave radio. Exposition arrives in murmured internal monologues that feel less like insight and more like someone forgot to turn off the narration mic. To be fair, the ninjas are fine. They look the part. They flip, stab, and smoke-bomb on cue. The action sequences are… fine. Competently staged, occasionally energetic, and punctuated by the sort of sternum-crushing kicks you expect from Norris. When fists are flying, the movie briefly wakes up. There's even a sense that someone involved cared about presenting ninjas with a degree of mystique rather than just costumed stuntmen in pajamas. But those moments are islands in a sea of inertia. For long stretches, the film is painfully boring. Scenes drag. Characters speak in hushed tones about vague conspiracies, yet none of it ever quite coheres into something gripping. The supposed menace of the terrorist-ninja training compound never translates into tension. Instead of escalating stakes, we get a parade of bland set-pieces and conversations that feel both overwrought and underwritten at the same time. In the end, The Octagon isn't disastrously bad—it's just inert. The ingredients are there: Norris in his stoic prime, a ninja cult, a secret training fortress. But the muddled dialogue and lifeless pacing sap the energy out of what should have been pulpy gold. If you're a completist for early American ninja cinema, it's worth a look. Just don't expect the kind of delirious nonsense that turns mediocrity into magic.

In this week's episode of Animation and Beyond, Ezra and Julian crawl into the adorable (and occasionally chaotic) world of babies in animation. They chat about films with baby leads, explore the idea of forever babies, those cartoon kiddos who never grow up, and compare them with coming-of-age characters whose journeys allow them to evolve and mature on screen. Ezra and Julian explore why baby characters are so lovable, the unique storytelling angles they bring, and how animated films use them to highlight family values and found-family dynamics. They also consider how these characters have evolved over time and what makes them such effective emotional anchors in their stories. The episode wraps up with trivia, laughs, and a few thoughtful reflections on why animation just can't quit its cutest characters! Recorded October 2025

This is a PG Episode! We talk about the cutest Characters that we LOVE!

In this episode of the Previously On TV podcast, Jillian is joined by her friend Kenny Marshall to recap and react to Tell Me Lies Season 3, Episode 8 "Are You Happy Now, That I'm on My Knees?" It's the last episode of TML ever and we are still not over how absolutely ICONIC (and unhinged) this ending was.We talk about why the finale being announced as the series finale basically sent everyone into a spiral, and how the show somehow managed to connect every single lie across seasons into one perfectly chaotic wedding night. From the very real “weddings are messy” conversation (Kenny has STORIES) to the question we cannot let go: how was that cake still uncut at 3AM?!We get into Stephen DeMarco's toast turned roast (Jackson White… you ate), and why it was weirdly satisfying to watch the truth finally explode out of the most toxic person in the room. We break down the Top 5 Truths Revealed in the finale — including Pippa coming out to Wrigley, the Lucy/Evan bomb, the shocking Bree/Wrigley reveal, the truth about Yale, and the twist that made us gasp: who actually released the video. (And yes, we ask why no one asked Lucy Albright about looking like a hostage in the video… hello??)Then we dig into that ending: Lucy choosing Steven, the gas station moment, and why the scorpion and the frog theory still haunts us. Is she finally free? Is she laughing because she's done? We debate the interpretations, but one thing is clear: Steven stings. Every. Time.Drop your thoughts on that ending in the comments! We want to hear from you.To wrap it all up, we rank the main Tell Me Lies characters from “bad” to “pure evil” — and I promise, this list gets CONTROVERSIAL. If you love messy TV, toxic friend groups, morally gray characters, and finales that leave you staring at the wall afterward… this one's for you.00:00:00 Intro to pod00:01:58 Finale thoughts00:08:35 Top 5 Truths Told in Finale00:09:00 Pippa comes out00:11:23 Lucy and Evan hooked up00:20:45 Bree and Wrigley affair00:25:48 Stephen sent Diana photos to her dad00:32:29 Bree released video00:42:55 Lucy and Stephen ending00:49:08 Ranking characters bad to worst00:50:05 Diana00:51:32 Wrigley00:52:19 Pippa00:53:36 Lucy00:57:27 Bree00:57:47 Evan01:01:11 Marianne01:02:41 Stephen01:02:48 Oliver01:04:33 ToxicityFollow Kenny: https://www.instagram.com/voyageofatvwatcher/https://www.instagram.com/baird_andlies22/Thank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our new theme song.

Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Bold and the Beautiful has an intense air of dissatisfaction that hangs around the CBS soap opera as fans express their frustration over several storylines, particularly Sheila Carter's (Kimberlin Brown) tumultuous marriage and Eric Forrester's (John McCook) design debacle. The CBS soap opera has been stirring up quite the controversy with an unexpected twist on Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) and Sheila's relationship, managing to paint Sheila in a sympathetic light despite her villainous past. Fans are also irked by the unethical actions of renowned psychiatrist Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) as she gets involved with her married patient, Deacon.  B&B fans note that Ridge Forrester's (Thorsten Kaye) increasingly unpleasant demeanor has not gone unnoticed, much to the fans' disappointment. He's been acting high-handed, asserting control over everyone, including his dad, Eric, and ex-wife, Taylor. Another dampener is the impending doom of Katie Logan's (Heather Tom) new fashion house. Showrunner Brad Bell had promised a fierce rivalry, but so far, it seems to be fizzling out rather than heating up.  Bold and Beautiful fans have taken issue with the show's focus on the youngest and oldest generations, leaving the middle generation lacking screen time. Characters like Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton), Hope Logan (Annika Noelle), and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) are conspicuously absent from the action. Lastly, the lack of chemistry among several couples, including Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire), and the buried lies and fizzled relationships have left fans wanting more.

Being firmly children of the '90s, all three hosts of Indieventure are at least passingly familiar with Blind Date, the British dating game show that ran from 1985 to 2003 which was iconically hosted by Cilla Black and Paul O'Grady. Look, I promise this is relevant. When we realised we couldn't do our originally planned topic for this episode and needed to come up with something else at short-notice, and also that the release date fell right around Valentine's Day, we threw around some ideas and eventually realised we'd just re-invented Blind Date with extra steps. Such is the millennial curse, I suppose (one of many). So yes, this is one for the bit-o'-bullshit fans, as we trot out indie gaming's most eligible batches (I'm told that this is the gender-neutral term for bachelors and bachelorettes – I'm personally a proponent of bachelandorette but fine, it's fine) for a dating game panel show type arrangement. We each attempt to embody our chosen singletons (and a few that we thought just ought to dump their canonical partners); ask some off-the-wall questions of one another; get briefly weirded out because as long-time friends playing a dating game together is a surprisingly odd experience; and generally attempt to do improv despite none of us being trained in the art. It goes surprisingly well! We had a lot of fun, hopefully you will too. I won't spoil the surprise by revealing the dates right here, but suffice to say if you've ever wondered which character from another game should be the next addition to Melinoë's polycule, or whether Chef Fujimoto from Octodad has healed enough to move on with his life and find love… well, the answers are all in this episode. Allegedly. I cannot stress enough that none of this is canon, and for legal reasons we don't claim that it is. We finish, as ever, on our hyperfixations, and it says a lot about the vibes of this episode that they're comparatively quite hinged this week. In preparation for the imminent release of Resi 9, Liam has been addressing the sole gap in his Resident Evil franchise knowledge by finally playing RE6 to see if it's as bad as he remembers from when he played half an hour at launch and then dropped off it. Rachel continues her commitment to playing fewer games slower with shout-outs to upcoming Paranormasight sequel The Mermaid's Curse, Cairn, and hidden gem of the farming/social sim genre Before The Green Moon. Rebecca, meanwhile, has been tempted back into the MCU by the word-of-mouth reputation of Wonder Man – an honestly brilliant buddy dramedy about the vicious world of Hollywood that just happens to feature some superheroes occasionally – and can't believe that Disney isn't doing more to promote their best Marvel offering in years that just happens to feature two men of colour as the leads, hmmm how strange, GO WATCH WONDER MAN while you ponder that one everybody.

Before the industry caught up… we were already there. Milestone Media didn't just create heroes. They created mirrors. They gave the Blerd community something rare at the time — authentic representation that wasn't a side story, but the main event. Characters like Icon, Static, Rocket, and Hardware didn't ask for permission to exist. They demanded to be seen. That same spirit lives on today. This Tuesday, we sit down with Alim Leggett — writer, artist, art director, husband, father of five, and creator of the indie comic force known as Sweet Pea. A creator carrying the torch forward. A storyteller proving that representation isn't nostalgia — it's evolution. We're talking about: ⚡ How Milestone Media reshaped the cultural and creative landscape ⚡ What representation truly means from the Blerd perspective ⚡ The creation and rise of Sweet Pea ⚡ Why every panel matters — and why our stories matter more than ever This isn't just an interview. This is legacy, impact, and the future — all in one conversation.YouTube ➡️ @blerdseyeview Twitch ➡️ @blerdseyeview1

In this installment of the Friendly Conversations about RPGs series, I am joined by Erik Schmidt of the Setting First YouTube Channel, Blog, and Discord (Links Below).

My guest this week is Don Leon Schuuring- owner and illustrator behind Dedonleon Designs, a creative studio based in the Netherlands.  The main focus of his studio is Illustration and Graphic Design. From t-shirt design to full brand identity and even some minimal animation.  I met Don on Instagram and have worked with him on a bunch of Deli Fresh Threads T-shirt designs the past few years.  He is a talented artist who I enjoy seeing his creations and various mascot characters.  Thought it would be a great opportunity to see each other for the first time and have him share his story on how he started and how it's grown.  Lunch with Biggie is a podcast about small business and creatives sharing their stories and inspiring you to pursue your passion, with some sandwich talk on the side.

In today's episode, we dive into the remarkable career pivot of Frances Turner, who left the heights of corporate law to build a powerful career on screen. Frances shares what it was like to live a double life for years, secretly pursuing acting while managing high-stakes legal deals, and the acting class that ultimately changed everything for her. From the very beginning, Frances was anchored in a deep desire to portray nuanced, three-dimensional characters that move beyond common tropes. She opens up about pivotal audition moments like winning over Regina King to booking a lead role in Fallout off a single self-tape. From her standout role in The Man in the High Castle to her continued success today, Turner reveals how everything shifted when she fully took ownership of her work and artistry.
