POPULARITY
POP ART, WHERE WE FIND THE POP CULTURE IN ART AND THE ART IN POP CULTURE. TIMELESS: Join me and podcaster and movie lover Nick Rehak of Rehak Radio as we discuss two time travel movies, Looper and Predestination. Nick was previous a guest of Pop Art for Ep 76 where we discussed two horror films revolving around hotels—The Shining and The Innkeepers—The guests check in, but do they check out. Check it out. Not happy with the way things are now? Would you like a change of pace? Of place? How about a change of time?…Sounds like it's time for Episode 95 of Pop Art, where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture. It's the podcast where my guest chooses a movie from popular culture, and I'll select a film from the more art/classic/indie side of cinema with a connection to it. I am your “This time travel crap, just fries your brain like an egg” host, Howard Casner. For this episode, I am happy to welcome back, podcaster and movie lover Nick Rehak, who has chosen as his film the Rian Johnson time travel movie, Looper, while I have chosen the Spierig brothers time travel movie, Predestination, both films not just about time travel, but movies about people encountering themselves and ironically affecting their own lives. And in this episode we answer such questions as: What is it about time travel movies anyway, why are they so popular? Are both movies Greek tragedy? Is Rian Johnson a hipster? What are the basic themes explored by time travel movies and these movies in particular? How was Looper changed for release in China and why? What's intriguing about the bathroom signs in Predestination? What happened on Joseph Gordon-Levitt's 30th birthday? How does the Chernobyl Power Plant fit in?

NOTE: IN THE PORTION WHERE I EXPLAIN NUCLEAR FISSION, I MIX UP NUCLEI AND NEUTRON! I realised this post editing but I think it generally makes sense, but when I explain how the nuclei is hit, I say it releases a nuclei, it actually releases a neutron, the neutron then hits the next nuclei and releases more neutrons, that is what forms the chain reaction. Thanks for accepting my mistake :)Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart.

Inna Braverman was named one of "10 of the most influential women of the 21st century," alongside Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey." Her story starts in the Ukraine on April 11, 1986. Two weeks after her birth, the nearby Chernobyl Power Plant exploded and sent radioactive material across the landscape. To this day, it remains the biggest nuclear disaster worldwide. Less than 200 miles away, baby Inna had trouble breathing from the pollution and went in respiratory arrest. She was announced clinically dead. Luckily for Inna, her mother is a nurse and rushed to the crib to help. She gave her baby mouth to mouth resuscitation until the ambulance arrived just in time. Inna survived. She's is now doing something quite remarkable and is using her second chance at life to give back. Learning from the Chernobyl disaster, Inna has launched a company that harnesses energy from a totally unique place. Sure, we've heard of wind energy and solar energy, but Inna has found something she claims is even better: Wave energy. She launched Eco Wave Power, a company that has figured out a way to take the energy from ocean waves and convert it into electricity. Her drive, passion and clever thinking have made her a celebrity. She's given a Ted Talk and was named to Wired Magazine's list of “Females Changing the World." CNN chose her for their "Tomorrow's Hero" series and she named one of the world’s “100 Makers and Mavericks." On today's episode, 32 years after the seminal disaster that forever changed her life, we chat with Inna about her upbringing, about wave energy and about the responsibilities of being a role model for today's young female entrepreneurs.
