In 2006 a hit man broke into an Ohio home and killed 31-year-old Daniel Ott with a shotgun in what was a paid act of vengeance for his willingness to testify against the operator of a stolen car "chop shop" operation. But the shooter killed the wrong Daniel Ott. The only thing the slain Daniel Ott was guilty of was having the same name as the intended target… Lume Use code AE for 15% off your first purchase at https://www.LumeDeodorant.com Shopify Go to https://www.shopify.com/serialously for a $1 per month trial today Draft Kings Learn more at https://www.draftkings.com and use code AE for $100 in casino credits Dipsea Dipsea is offering an extended 30-day free trial when you go to https://www.DipseaStories.com/AE Factor Head to https://www.FactorMeals.com/50AE and use code 50AE to get 50% off your first box plus free shipping.

Send us a textSeptember 24th, 2024, marks the 20th Anniversary of Shaun Of The Dead's US Release. The forever-fresh cult classic not only launched Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost to mega-stardom, but the film also kicked off a trilogy of brilliant collaborations between the three artists. In this episode, Bella and Nick are joined by Daniel Ott to discuss all three of the high-octane, humanist, genre-bending films of The Cornetto Trilogy (aka The Colours Cornetto). We opened with the film that started it all. Part romantic comedy, part zombie film, Shaun Of The Dead still thrills audiences 20 years after its original release.Second in the trilogy is the pedal-to-the-metal buddy comedy Hot Fuzz, which happens to be Daniel Ott's favorite film of all time. Finally, the most mature and emotional film of the bunch, The World's End, wraps up the trilogy's thematic thread with a wallop of introspection and, of course, some laughs as well.Let us know what your favorite film of the trilogy is!Support the showSign up for our Patreon for exclusive Bonus Content.Follow the podcast on Instagram @gimmethreepodcastYou can keep up with Bella on Instagram @portraitofacinephile or Letterboxd You can keep up with Nick: on Instagram @nicholasybarra, on Twitter (X) @nicholaspybarra, or on LetterboxdShout out to contributor and producer Sonja Mereu.

Cyrus McCormick invented the revolutionary mechanical reaper in 1831...right? At least, that's how the story has been told for decades. In Harvesting History: McCormick's Reaper, Heritage Branding, and Historical Forgery (U Nebraska Press, 2023), National Park Service historian Daniel Ott argues that not only have textbooks and other sources of historical knowledge gotten this wrong, but that they've done so because of a massive PR campaign. Ott argues that McCormick, his family, and the company that bears his name, all engaged in a multi-decade long fight to convince potential buyers that their reaper was the first, and given the potentially millions of dollars at stake in a competitive farm implement marketplace, claiming so was no exercise in arcane trivia. In the late 19th and early 20th century. McCormick's company recruited salesmen, advertisers, and newly professionalized historians to shape a narrative about the reaper that sanded over the complex and contingent nature of its invention, and turned McCormick into an American hero. The history told by these groups was malleable enough to fit changing times, as populists and progressives came and went - the claim of "first" gave McCormick's reaper credibility its competitiors could never match. Harvesting History is a story about the importance of getting the story right, and why some people will go to great lengths to make sure we keep getting the story wrong.

The nicest man in Burton, Ohio; Daniel Ott; who wants him dead and why?
In 2006 a 31 year old man named Daniel Ott was killed in a what police believed to be a murder for hire. The victim's background yielded no clues as to why he was targeted for death but after six months, investigators found another Daniel Ott in the area that was a much more likely victim and believed the younger Daniel was killed because he shared a name with a marked man. Listen along as we discuss the murder of Daniel Ott. Music by Gioele Fazzeri from Pixabay
“Who Are We That We Should Go?” Dean Daniel Ott will explore the ways we deny our calling to deliver the oppressed. Exodus 3:1-15 (JPS translation)
“Feet to the Fire” host James Arthur Jancik and “The Edge Broadcast” host Daniel Ott (two of the longest running programs on the net) share stories from past shows. James has interviewed hundreds of experts on topics ranging from science, medicine, history and alternative energy to UFOs, remote viewing, psychic readings, NDE's, spirituality, ghosts, 2012, exo-politics and the truth about 911. The guest list reads like a who's who in Alternative Talk Radio. James is disarmingly chivalrous, with a brilliant manner of interacting with his guests and callers that is easygoing yet incisive. He deftly cuts to the core of the issues, bringing out the best in his guests, mentally invigorating his listeners and often instigating “ah ha” moments for all. James is especially good at thinking fast on his feet, easily handling difficult guests as well as such unexpected occurrences as guest ‘no shows', technical difficulties and unscreened callers. In 2003, James adapted his studio to broadcast on the newly developing Internet Radio and aided in the formation of several stations. Including his own shows, James now produces and airs several talk shows from his Chicagoland home studio broadcast on InnerStreams Radio.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4656375/advertisement
As we work feverishly to prep our remaining Summer and Fall 2023 seasons, we're going to do a month of new-repost hybrid podcasts. The first 10 minutes or so will be new and on a short subject. This week, Craig talks about fascinating classics like Apocalypse Now, Dr. Strangelove, Sexy Beast, and Annie Hall that had to be severely reworked in production and post production because some element didn't work. And how strangely the brainstorming that went into fixing the problem created classics. Then we'll repost a great podcast from our vaults so folks can hear topics they may never have realized the team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, other SMC Team Members, Craig Hammill) covered when we started way back when in 2020. Today, we re-post our first ever podcast! SMC Podcast #1 (recorded just a few weeks into the pandemic in March/April 2020) focuses on the team's personal top 10 favorites lists. And the reexamination if such a list even makes sense when there are so many great movies.
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) talk about David Lynch's 1999 G rated Disney movie The Straight Story. It is agreed that it is one of Lynch's greatest movies yet oddly one of his most underseen because it defies many folks' surface expectations of what is a David Lynch movie. The team also offers up their own oddball director movies. 1941, Gloria, Brewster's Millions, Spike Lee's Old Boy, among many others get discussed. Connor notes how some directors are allowed to branch out and others can get imprisoned in a certain genre. Edwin bristles and swears more than usual. Daniel brings up Francis Ford Coppola's Jack too late. Craig talks Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian.
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) gets beach-ready with films for the summer! The Team agrees that Jaws is the quintessential Independence Day (the holiday) movie! Edwin salutes Patton as the greatest American movie ever made. Daniel reports on All the President's Men and how much he likes watching people be good at their jobs. Connor half-heartedly endorses Mars Attacks! as an Independence Day (the movie) alternative. Craig celebrates “last day of school” movies, like American Graffiti, and camp films, like Wet Hot American Summer! Stay cool out there, Secret Movie Clubbers!
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) returns with some tasty comfort food movies that'll make you feel warm inside! Craig recounts the way the ending of Thelma & Louise made him feel as a kid. Daniel doesn't mind sitting with Jim Jarmusch's Paterson. Connor is somehow comforted by the Saw franchise. And there's the main event, The Trial of Edwin Gomez, where the Team tries to understand what compelled Edwin to watch Cameron Crowe's We Bought a Zoo five times in two months!
June 24th – “Feet to the Fire” host James Arthur Jancik and “The Edge Broadcast” host Daniel Ott (two of the longest running programs on Read More
THE ISSUES THAT CAUSE BROADCSTERS TO LOSE SLEEP! DANIEL OTT
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, A.J. Grier, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) buddies with animation writer (Daniel Spellbound) and returning guest, Anne Mortensen-Agnew, and makes a most unprecedented expedition through realms ethereal with Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, a bizarro sequel to Excellent Adventure – both starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter – that two thirds of this podcast like more than the first! More superior sequels are discussed. A.J. and Anne think Top Gun: Maverick and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, respectively, are better than their originals! Craig and Daniel weigh the different merits of the Before films. Edwin defends Die Hard with a Vengeance with a vengeance.
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, A.J. Grier, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) does NOT keep quiet about Martin Scorsese's powerful adaptation of Shūsaku Endō's Silence. Finally made in 2016, Silence was a passion project that Scorsese pursued for nearly thirty years! The Team also obsesses over other passion projects. Craig counts John Huston's long-gestated The Man Who Would Be King as the beginning of the director's late and great period! A.J. reckons that filmmakers like Christopher Nolan and James Cameron ONLY make passion projects. Also, Connor and Daniel tell a story about Edwin.
Don't miss this transmission! Dave Hodges of The Common Sense Show, Doug Thornton of The American Vindicta Show and Daniel Ott of The Edge Broadcast all at one time will discuss the current world situation and the alternative medias place in it.
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) freaks out with Russ Meyer's kaleidoscope of Hollywood, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, and its surprising co-writer, iconic film critic, Roger Ebert! One of his favorite movies, a fiery passion erupts from Edwin, especially when he hears Connor's more muted reaction to the film! Craig appreciates Roger Ebert's voice even if he didn't always share his opinions. Daniel recalls the love he felt for Ebert surrounding him during his time in Chicago.
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) makes a pit stop in Jersey with native son, Kevin Smith, and his debut feature, Clerks! While Smith came running out of the 90s indie scene, he's had a rockier road than many of his contemporaries, but the Team has a lot of affection for him and his first film! Daniel delves into what Smith's movie9os meant to him as a young filmmaker. Connor and Craig recount stories about Jason Mewes and Jon Peters that Kevin Smith has told better elsewhere. Edwin prefers Mallrats.
On this episode of MWMH, Payton and Garrett discuss the 2006 murder of Daniel Ott and the unusual way police were able to catch his killers.

The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) springs into the season with a menagerie of films for holidays from January to May (that AREN'T Valentine's)! Edwin honors our country for Presidents' Day with Clint Eastwood's Absolute Power. Daniel cracks open Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit for Easter! Craig keeps it kosher with Uncut Gems' Passover sequence. Connor gets lucky with Irish martial arts film, Fatal Deviation, for St. Paddy's Day AND challenges his cohosts to discover the perfect spring holiday film for a holiday not mentioned here!
April 8th – Don't miss this transmission! Dave Hodges of The Common Sense Show, Doug Thornton of The American Vindicta Show and Daniel Ott of The Read More
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) takes stage with Prince's seminal rock musical, Purple Rain, featuring a bevy of incredible songs by Prince and the Revolution! Daniel and Connor trade stories about Prince, including how he ended up doing the Batman soundtrack. The Team also jams with musicians in cinema! Craig notes the vast topic of blaxploitation films which feature incredible music (and some performances!) from artists like Isaac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield. Edwin gets mad when everyone can't read his mind about David Byrne's True Stories.
Sorry this is a day late, it has been a wild one. Here's the description: “The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) was set to talk about body swap movies like Freaky Friday, but they all touched a cursed VHS tape and swapped bodies themselves! Craig (as Connor) reminisces about the body swap movies of his childhood like Vice Versa and Like Father Like Son. Edwin (as Craig) yells about the “one true” film in this subgenre, Face/Off! Connor (as Edwin) talks about a TV show. Daniel (as Daniel) feels left out.” Also, sorry about all the bleeps!
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) celebrates the third anniversary of the pod by reflecting on their possibly changed feelings about the show and with a dialogue about how our opinions on movies change over time! Craig understands why Casablanca is the classic it is the older he gets. Daniel's feelings on Michael Mann's filmography have shifted in recent years. Connor explains how his favorite movies of any given year are often not his favorites years later. Edwin is a static man. Happy Anniversary, Secret Movie Clubbers!
It's the big night and the Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) gets all gussied up for a discussion on the 95th Academy Awards, honoring the best in film of 2022, including Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once! The Team also presents you their favorite films of 2022 and what they're looking forward to in 2023. Connor adored EEAAO, but has mixed feelings about its wins. Edwin is just mad about the one category that didn't go the way he wanted. Craig laments his current lack of connection to the Awards. Daniel keeps things lighter than these other three!
The Top Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) goes undercover with Tomas Alfredson's masterful adaptation of John le Carré's dense spy thriller, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, starring Gary Oldman, which the whole Team loves except for a mole who hates it! The Team also surveils spy films that are NOT part of the Bond franchise. Craig infiltrates the WWII subgenre with Army of Shadows, Black Book, and Lust, Caution. Dad-iel reignites his love for The Hunt for Red October! Connor informs everyone about the little-seen Hanna. Edwin spills about two movies: one isn't a spy movie, the other is a Bond movie!
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) worships at the temple of cinema and SMC's director of 2023, Alfred Hitchcock, by canonizing the filmmakers that have followed in Hitch's incomparable footsteps! Connor goes obvious and talks Brian lDe Palma. Daniel goes obvious (for him) and talks Park Chan-wook. Edwin invokes Gus Van Sant and his possibly heretical remake of Psycho. Craig beatifies both Steven Spielberg and David Fincher, who he proposes have the same fundamental understanding of cinema that Hitchcock had. The Team also sermons on when filmmakers wear their influences on their sleeves. Glory to Hitch!
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) gets together to discuss SMC's recent double feature screening of romcom classic Notting Hill and modern gem Lovers Rock! Programmed by Team member Joshua Oakley, Notting Hill and Lovers Rock are paired because, while they are wildly different films about romance, they both take place in West London. The Team also dives into the art of movie pairings, a huge part of programming films at SMC. Connor “shares” some of his ideas. Craig and Daniel wax Eisensteinian about the collision of films when watched together. Edwin makes a startling confession.
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) cozies up to Alfred Hitchcock's 1945 Spellbound, starring Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck with a famous and startling dream sequence by Salvador Dalí! Hitchcock, our director of 2023, is a progenitor of the romantic thriller, so the Team also looks at other romthrills. Connor analyzes their split lineage that leads to both erotic thrillers but modern action movies as well. Craig nominates Pedro Almodóvar as his favorite descendent of Hitch, while Daniel goes with Park Chan-wook. Edwin needs his romantic thrillers done right, by which he means 1991's Shattered and NOTHING ELSE.
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) enters the mind of skater-auteur Spike Jonze and his directorial debut, the darkly comic Being John Malkovich, written by Charlie Kaufman. BJM is one of Connor's favorite films and he gushes about its existential horror and daring style! Edwin prefers Jonze's follow-up Kaufman-collab, Adaptation. Craig admires his shorter work, including an Apple ad he made with FKA Twigs and his incredible music and skateboard videos. Daniel talks about how inspiring Jonze's wild approach was to him as a young filmmaker!
The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) rides the bull for the full eight seconds with the Jackass series, co-created by Johnny Knoxville and Spike Jonze, featuring Knoxville and a group of other knuckleheads doing ridiculous and vulgar pranks and stunts! The Team also analyzes high art and low art, the dubious distinction between the two, and whether or not these terms are even valid.
