Podcasts about conquering hero

Original Release Date: Monday 2 June 2025    Description:   Dean and Phil commence the proceedings with a cold open wherein they address a fantastic voice message they received from a loyal listener in Germany. Then, after finding out when Dean expects to no longer be living in his one-room art studio above the garage, Phil dedicates the rest of the show to celebrating movies from around the world and from across the decades! The recent blockbuster Sinners, the current blockbuster Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, and the current limited release A Vanishing Fog from Columbia (the country, not the studio) all get reviewed. One of the great films of the 21st century, a 2000 masterpiece from Taiwan entitled Yi Yi, and the legendary capper to the "Apu" trilogy - Apur Sansar (aka The World of Apu) - from the great Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray both get celebrated. Finally, Phil shares stories of Alexander Payne, and regales with the history of perhaps the single greatest influence on Payne's work, Preston Sturges, both in light of re-watching the hilarious and surprisingly rousing 1944 wartime comedy Hail the Conquering Hero. So, butter up that popcorn, epic Year 19 Episode 4 of YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour is going to the movies!

Jimmy and Phil dare to challenge each other to watch a movie they've never seen before. Phil makes Jimmy watch The Matrix. Jim takes Phil back to WWII for Hail the Conquering Hero. Can something modern turn Jimmy's crank? And what about Phil, can he get into something - even a comedy - that came out long before he was born . You'll be surprised! An episode that wasn't really planned but just kind of happened with surprising results.

This is episode 170 and the sound you're hearing is the cheering and the flaming hot emotion because Sir Harry Smith is back in town! The town is Cape Town — Sir Harry won't hang around there for too long, he as you know from the previous episode, has returned to South Africa to take up his new position as Governor of the Cape. Sir Harry was the former civil commissioner of the de-annexed Province of Queen Adelaide in the Eastern Cape and in June 1840 he'd left Cape Town to take up a post as Adjutant-General in India. There is this incredibly long history of connection between India and South Africa, and people like Smith were part of that history. Others of course are people like Gandhi, but that's a story for further down the road. Smith was courageous, whatever other faults he may have had, and was involved in a sensational victory at the Battle of Aliwal in India on 28 January 1846 during the first Anglo-Sikh War. That victory led to a promotion to Major General, and he was offered an accepted a baronetcy. The British parliament formally thanked Smith, and then returned to England where the extremely bloated ego he'd developed over the past few decades was further fluffed up. While in England he'd spent a lot of time with the Duke of Wellington who'd defeated Napoleon, and with the Duke's support, he convinced the British government that the festering sore of the Eastern Cape of South Africa could be healed. This expensive disaster after disaster he said could be resolved quickly, and even more importantly, cheaply. When he returned to England in 1847, Harry Smith was treated like royalty, greeted at Southampton by artillery salutes, church bells rang, thousands of people cheered him, a special train was laid on to take him to London, where he received the freedom of the Guildhall. He dined with Queen Victoria, and was pretty much the first authentic military hero of the Victorian era. Waterloo was 30 years earlier, a long way off, and there'd been very little military glory since. Thus, Wellington whispered in the ears of the powerful, and that is how Harry Smith was appointed the new Governor of the Cape, strategically important but infuriatingly complex. All settlers agreed, the Queen had made a perfect appointment. As we're going to hear, this was going to be possibly her worst appointment anywhere up to then. All the hero worship was going straight to this little man's head. He was short, so by little I mean horizontally challenged. Doing the hard work of making sense of negotiations were the translators. These were men, black and white, who had a vast influence on our history. Smith said to Sandile that he should leave Grahamstown and go to his people, whereupon the translators claim Sandile said “No — I will stay today near you, my former and best friend…” Historians believe these exchanges were embroidered, altered, and added to the misunderstandings. Many of the translators were sons of missionaries, or settlers who'd grown up speaking amaXhosa fluently. But they fed Smith what he wanted to hear. The very same translators had been at work when Sandile was taken into Grahamstown to be placed under house arrest so you can see that their editorialising was having an effect on history.

Poet, translator and cultural commentator Anthony Esolen joins James and Thomas to discuss one of his favorite filmmakers in the genre of "screwball comedy", Preston Sturges. Sturges wrote and directed eight films between 1940 and 1945, seven of which are regarded as classics. This episode focuses on two of those films: Sullivan's Travels (1941) and The Miracle of Morgan's Creek (1944). Sullivan's Travels is about a director of cheap comedies who decides to go on the road as a hobo so he can make a film of true social significance, making a fool of himself in the process. It displays Sturges's ability to write and direct dialogue that is fast, sharp and snappy, but never flippant or glib. Sturges is virtuosic in navigating dark material with a light touch, and able to switch seamlessly between pathos and humor, ending up in a place of warmth and graciousness without sappy sentimentality. This is also true of The Miracle of Morgan's Creek. In an age in which even married pregnancy could not be depicted on film, Morgan's Creek pushed boundaries by depicting unwed pregnancy. It ends up being a very pro-life film as well as something of a time capsule, showing how a social stigma against unwed motherhood was not incompatible with compassion and support for such mothers and their babies. Like Sullivan's Travels, it has an outrageous, hilarious and utterly unpredictable ending. These films prompt a reflection from Esolen on how "The moral law makes mirth possible," and how the sexual revolution killed romance - two reasons great screwball comedies cannot not be made today. Other movies reccomended by Anthony Esolen: Penny Serenade, People Will Talk, and also The Lady Eve, Arsenic and Old Lace, Bringing Up Baby, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, You Can't Take It With You, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (TV series), “Walking Distance” (Twilight Zone episode) Other movies mentioned by Thomas Mirus: Hail the Conquering Hero, Unfaithfully Yours, The Awful Truth, It Happened One Night Links Joel McCrea discusses his faith https://www.guideposts.org/better-living/entertainment/movies-and-tv/guideposts-classics-joel-mccrea-on-gods-guidance Podcast about Betty Hutton's conversion to Catholicism https://americancatholichistory.org/betty-hutton/ Magdalen College of the Liberal Arts https://magdalen.edu/ Music is The Duskwhales, “Take It Back”, used with permission. https://theduskwhales.bandcamp.com This podcast is a production of CatholicCulture.org.

Jennifer Kloetzel's lifelong journey with Beethoven began early: she was eight years old when her teacher placed the composer's second cello sonata on her music stand, opening the door to an odyssey of intrigue and, ultimately, obsession with the composer's music. Since then, rarely has a day passed without Beethoven being a part of Jennifer's life. She has studied and performed all of the composer's duos and trios. As founding cellist of the Cypress String Quartet, she spent 20 years rehearsing, performing and recording the string quartets. Jennifer now arrives at a career milestone with this recording of Beethoven's Complete Works for Cello and Piano.TRACKLIST:LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770–1827) 12 Variations WoO 45 for cello and piano 13.09on “See, the Conqu'ring Hero Comes” from Handel's Judas Maccabaeus Sonata for Piano and Cello No.1 in F, Op. 5, No. 1I.

Episode 91 aired May 11, 1944 on CBS Radio. A teenage boy who seems to have disappeared after having a quarrel with a friend some three years earlier. He is believed to have been murdered by his friend but no hard evidence has ever been found. Comedian Eddie Bracken stars in this serious role. Edward Vincent Bracken (February 7, 1915 – November 14, 2002) was an American actor. Bracken became a Hollywood comedy legend with lead performances in the films Hail the Conquering Hero and The Miracle of Morgan's Creek both from 1944, both of which have been preserved by the National Film Registry. During this era, he also had success on Broadway, with performances in plays like Too Many Girls (1939). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Bracken

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have eternal life! We see this theme over and over again in the Bible and it is a truly marvelous thing to contemplate! But we know there is the adversary and he absolutely hates this idea! The question is, at what lengths will he go to, to make sure that we do not get eternal life? We talk about all this and more on this week's podcast, find out how you can be a conqueror too!

Titus & Zena Hitz discus Preston Sturges's war comedy--how the military transforms America into a very fun, very rambunctious democracy, & a small town boy can become mayor! Down with the business oligarchy, up with the public spirited--this is his most Capra-esque story.

In his final visit to Suspense, Eddie Bracken sheds his lovable and dopey screen persona honed in comedies from Preston Sturges. We'll hear him in "Nightmare," a sixty-minute story from Cornell Woolrich (originally aired on CBS on March 13, 1948). We'll also hear Bracken in the first episode of his radio sitcom The Eddie Bracken Show, where he plays a version of himself closer to his portrayals in The Miracle at Morgan Creek and Hail the Conquering Hero (originally aired on NBC on January 28, 1945).

Jesus Revealed - Joshua Part 6 - The Conquering Hero

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Rev. Clint K Poppe. 4/8/20.

De tweede helft van aflevering 98 staat volledig in het teken van de bioscoop waar de Gremlins halt houden bij Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (nogmaals), The Irishman, Ford vs Ferrari aka Le Mans ’66, wat Sven best een belachelijke titel vindt, en Doctor Sleep. Eerst tackelen ze de films die Tim Mielants en Vanessa Morgan als huiswerk gaven tijdens Bart zijn summer special van 2019: Hail The Conquering Hero uit 1944 en Let’s Scare Jessica To Death uit 1971. Een van die twee zorgt bovendien voor het film-equivalent van het nature vs nurture debat: technische uitwerking vs verhaal.

On this episode of the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast, co-host Joe Pritchard tells us of his latest trip to Winnipeg, this time buoyed by his beloved Blue Bombers' domination of the Saskatchewan Roughriders in this year's Banjo Bowl. Co-host Os Davis, meanwhile, has a rant on some Facebook activity by members of a certain team's fanbase last week -- of course, that's what he gets for taking Facebook too seriously. Joe and Os also look forward to next week's games and the remaining games on the schedule, with particular reference to the Bombers, Riders and Calgary Stampeders vis-a-vis just how that West division'll shake out.

In our last +1, we talked about the science of daydreaming. Quick recap: Stay out of the “poor attention control” and “guilty-dysphoric” realms and in the “positive-constructive” mode.   Here’s another way to think about it. (Thanks again to Manoush Zomorodi!)   When your mind is wandering and you’re kinda randomly thinking about your life, do you imagine yourself as the CONQUERING HERO of your own story (positive-constructive!) or the SUFFERING MARTYR (guilty-dysphoric) of the story?   It’s a big distinction.   We want to get REALLY (!) good at noticing when we’re falling into the “woe is me” helpless Victim orientation and SHIFT it into the “Let’s do this!!” Creator orientation.   How?   Well, again, what do you think we’re doing with all these +1s?    I’m basically trying to give you a super-stocked toolshed/armory of tools and weapons and tips and tricks and hacks you can use THE MOMENT you find yourself losing your connection from the best version of yourself.   It all starts with mastering our fundamentals: eat! move! sleep! (Ever notice how the martyr shows up a LOT more when you’re TIRED? Me, too. That’s why Vince Lombardi says that “Fatigue makes cowards of us all.”)   Let’s actually keep things simple and focus there today.   Do you know your #1 Self-Care Habit?    Is it eating well? Exercising? Sleeping? Meditating? Doing deep work? Helping others? …? …?    What’s the thing that, if you DON’T do it, pretty much guarantees a sub-optimal day? (For me it is, unquestionably, getting a good night of sleep.)   You?   This is my #1 Self-Care Habit: ______________.    This is the #1 thing I can do to Optimize it Today: ________________.   That is all.   Here’s to doing the things that help the Conquering Hero show up more and more consistently.    And, here’s to stepping back and looking at the fundamentals whenever we get a little Whiney-Martyr wobbly!   +1. +1. +1.

Eddie Bracken endeared himself to audiences with winning turns as lovable losers in comedies like The Miracle oft Morgan's Creek and Hail the Conquering Hero, but on Suspense he turned his "aw shucks" persona on its head for a series of shows as mysterious characters with sinister sides. We'll hear him in "The Visitor" (originally aired on CBS on May 11, 1944) and in "Elwood" (originally aired on CBS on March 5, 1947).

Information Creep Issue #2 description: On this week's Information Creep we give you a thorough cleansing of what you think you know about Megatron with the soft reboot of "All Hail Megatron" in extensive detail, as we verbally express our respective love-letters to the current format of IDW story telling!

Boston-bred and born guest Jake Mulligan has always been something of a kindred spirit with Peter. Not just in terms of their approach to aesthetics, but also how and what they see the goal of film criticism can be. So it was perhaps inevitable that they would turn their interview into something of a state of the union in how and what writers should be doing when it comes to analyzing films and film culture. Jake recalls his entry into cinema through the bro film canon and how his path toward journalism has shaped his role in deciding what (and more importantly how) visual media should be worth covering. They then discuss how streaming and digital has affected the role that critics play, and perhaps shed some light on other alternative approaches of what is an increasingly robotic profession. But after letting out some steam, they get to the bread and butter by going deep into the political aesthetics of Preston Sturges's war time comedy, Hail The Conquering Hero, asking the very difficult question of what exactly is direction when it comes to Classical Hollywood screwball comedy. 0:00-2:37 Opening3:15-10:14 Establishing Shots — Charles Cohen Preview10:59-1:16:58 Deep Focus — Jake Mulligan1:18:00-1:46:49 Double Exposure — Hail The Conquering Hero (Preston Sturges)1:46:53-1:49:05 Close / Outtake

 By 1417, Henry had sorted out his support in England, and was able to launch a war of conquest in Normandy. After butchery at Caen, castles and towns fell, and by June 1418 the final and biggest prize stood before Henry - Rouen, second city of France.

I. What is Christianity without the Resurrection? Pointless, truthless, fruitless, hopeless. II. Who is Jesus because he rose? Our Certain Hope and Conquering Hero. III. Application: Move Out and Wake Up.

Some heroes wear masks, some work shrouded in mystery and menace and others still fight the good fight against the armies of darkness. And others... others get rotated home and sent out on the Bond Drive. But even they still have a role to play, and events set the Red Panda and the Flying Squirrel in motion on the word of... The Conquering Hero!
