This week we're discussing the inspiring coming of age movie DEAD POETS SOCIETY! We stand on tables (not really) to proclaim our love for this cast, wonder why Keating decided to teach at this school, and seriously question some (many) of his methods.   Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network   Visit www.FromSuperheroes.com for more podcasts, articles, video series, web comics, and more.

If I could turn back time—exactly 36 years—it would be 1989!This episode was inspired by the 1989 monster hit by Cher. Yes, that Cher, who was 43 years old and leaving nothing to the imagination!As I've done in the past, we're going to dig into the music charts and major box office hits, along with a few newsworthy events from the last year of the '80s.The music charts featured a mix of hair metal ballads and classic rock bands enjoying a late-career resurgence, with alternative and pop also well represented. This was an era when New Kids on the Block, Chicago, Rick Astley, and Poison were all played back-to-back on the radio. Back then, radio was pretty great.The big movies boasted massive hits from directors like Spielberg, Burton, Donner, and Zemeckis. The stars were names like Ford, Keaton, Gibson, and Fox—big movies with big budgets. But non-action films also drew huge audiences, like Parenthood and Dead Poets Society. This was the era when Robin Williams was earning numerous Academy Award nominations.Plus, it's crazy to think that this was the year the Berlin Wall fell and the Tiananmen Square protests—and subsequent massacre—took place.Available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, and major streaming platforms.

For this episode of Us & Them, host Trey Kay celebrates the tenth anniversary of the podcast with the young members of Marshall University's Dead Podcasters Society, a club that is dedicated to artistic expression and following one's passions, much like the fictional group in the 1989 film Dead Poets Society.  The event becomes a master class on podcasts, the intimate form of audio storytelling that has hooked hundreds of millions of listeners around the world. Kay talks with students about how he encourages people to tell him their stories and about a lifetime spent forming connections with people who hold views that are very different from his own. He also gets inducted into the Dead Podcasters Society in a ceremony that involves a sword and a vow to “seize the sound.”

Why do some people seem to effortlessly manipulate others while you're left questioning your own reality? Are your limiting beliefs truly yours, or have they been strategically installed by someone else? In a world full of covert manipulators, emotional predators, and unconscious programming, how do you defend your mind and take back control? If you've ever doubted your worth, been gaslit in relationships, or felt powerless against toxic people—this episode is your wake-up call.Enter Dr. David Snyder: NLP expert, hypnosis master, and behavioral influence strategist. With decades of research and thousands of students, David exposes the psychological tactics used by narcissists and social predators—and, more importantly, how to beat them. His passion is electrifying, his tools are instantly usable, and his mission is crystal clear: to train everyday people in the art of psychological self-defense and influence.Key Quotes:“The moment you change the direction or angle you're viewing things from, the more you see opportunities that were hidden from the other angle.” - Dr. David Snyder“There is no limiting belief that a person or you can give yourself that you can't beat.” - Dr. David Snyder“Narcissists and predators are extremely good at doing this to you—but they'll do it in a way that damages your self-esteem.” - Dr. David Snyder“A human being cannot go against their deeply held emotional values without experiencing tremendous pain.” - Dr. David SnyderKey Takeaways:Audit Your Beliefs – Write down your core beliefs and ask: “Whose voice is this really?” Then use the “It's not X, it's Y” and “Which is more important, X or Y?” reframing patterns to overwrite them.Change the Angle – Realize that most of your limitations are simply a matter of perspective. Like standing on a desk in Dead Poets Society, changing your view reveals a new world.Train for Mental Combat – Just like physical self-defense, psychological defense is essential. Don't wait to be manipulated—learn how influence works now.Install Empowering Patterns Daily – Use emotional bonding checklists and reframes proactively to rebuild a resilient, self-sustained identity.Episode Timeline:0:00:25 - David Snyder begins discussing limiting beliefs and mother's influence0:02:15 - Discussion on reframing beliefs and changing perspectives0:05:21 - Exploration of reframing techniques and combining methods0:06:05 - David Snyder warns about narcissists and social predators0:06:41 - Deeper explanation of how predators manipulate peopleLinks:To learn more about Dr. David Snyder and everything about NLP, visit:Website: https://www.nlppower.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DavidSnyderNLPInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidsnydernlp

With Anzac Day just around the corner, Born to Watch honours a defining moment in Australian cinema with our Gallipoli (1981) Movie Review. Directed by Peter Weir and starring a young, raw Mel Gibson alongside Mark Lee, this film is more than a war story, it's a devastating portrait of friendship, sacrifice, and the tragic cost of blind patriotism. In this episode, Whitey and G-Man revisit the classic through a lens shaped by age, memory, and national identity.From the iconic opening scenes of sprinting through the outback to the haunting stillness of the battlefield at the Neck, Gallipoli strips away the glory of war and lays bare its cruel realities. The boys waste no time diving into the emotional core of the film, mateship. Whitey and G-Man see themselves in Frank and Archie, and they hilariously debate who's who. Is Whitey the cynical Frank, or is G-Man secretly more Archie than he'll admit?But it's not just about comparisons and callbacks to high school Anzac ceremonies. This is Born to Watch at its most reflective and reverent. The guys dig into the cultural significance of Gallipoli, how the film shaped their understanding of the Anzac legacy, and why it's essential viewing for every Australian. It's also a rare episode where the crew admits that this one is hard to joke about. Except, of course, when it comes to figuring out which of their mates is most like Snowy.They talk about how Gallipoli taught them what Anzac Day should mean. Not just a day off to play two-up and hit the pub, but a moment to remember real sacrifice. The 1981 film still hits hard, they argue, because it doesn't sugarcoat the futility of war. And when that final freeze frame lands, it guts you, every time.There's admiration for director Peter Weir, whose resume includes Dead Poets Society, The Truman Show, and Master and Commander. But here, he's in peak form. Gallipoli's scale is intimate but never small; its visuals are sweeping, yet grounded in the personal. And the music? That synth track when Archie sprints across the desert? Still gives the boys goosebumps.The episode gets personal, too. Both hosts recall trying (and failing) to get their teenage kids to watch the film. They revisit childhood memories of Anzac Day school assemblies, the eerie power of “Only 19” and “Waltzing Matilda,” and the VHS that left a permanent mark. G-Man shares stories from his own pilgrimage to Gallipoli, visiting Lone Pine and The Nek and seeing firsthand the terrain that made the battle a bloodbath.As always, there's room for laughs, the mystery of Mark Lee's post-Gallipoli career, and whether it's safe to train for battle with live rounds (spoiler: probably not). But the tone stays grounded, respectful, and proud.They wrap things up with “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly,” highlighting Gallipoli's haunting silence, its unwavering focus on mateship, and its place in Australian cinematic history. It's not just a war film; it's a rite of passage.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Does Gallipoli still define the Anzac spirit?Is this Mel Gibson's best early performance?Have you visited the battlefield yourself?Drop us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and be part of the show!#Gallipoli1981 #BornToWatch #GallipoliMovieReview #AnzacDay #PeterWeir #MelGibson #AustralianCinema #WarMovies #MoviePodcast #LestWeForget

This week we leap with Robin Williams to one of his greatest films - 1989 drama Dead Poets Society. Surely we can all agree this is one of the best films we've discussed...

Havensbury.Dead Poets Society meets Good Will Hunting. In the prestigious realm of Havensbury Preparatory Academy, Noah Liebermann feels out of place. A determined student, he grapples with academic challenges and the isolated culture. Maybe he's just not right for this school, for this world…But a serendipitous encounter with a homeless man unveils a new outlook on life and teaches Noah invaluable lessons about resilience, entrepreneurship, and the profound impact of communal bonds. With the guidance of his new mentor, not only could he find a way to survive the elite prep high school, he might have the potential to change it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Not to be confused with the popular song from the hit broadway musical, Newsies; as well as not to be confused with the popular saying in Robin's later film, Dead Poets Society. Seize the Day is a low-budget PBS TV Movie in which Robin plays a down-on-his-luck man whose marriage is falling apart, broke, and can't seem to get a single win in life.

Yesterday, Adrianne and I went out to one of favorite little coffee shops to have breakfast and spend the morning working. About an hour in, I had this urge to check Instagram, which I rarely do, especially lately. In fact, I haven't really done much online or on social media since the election — I actually leave my phone home more often than not — but for whatever reason, I stopped doing my Morning Pages and picked up my phone and checked Instagram. The first post I saw was a story from Wesley Verhoeve. It was a photo of my friend Pableaux Johnson with a caption that read, “Rest in peace, Pableaux Johnson. Beloved by so many, a true culture documentarian, and a New Orleans treasure.” I was stunned and, in the moment, I honestly didn't understand what I was reading. My first instinct was to respond to Wesley with, “Wait what? Pableaux is a friend of ours. What is this news?” Wesley responded, “He passed away. I'm sorry to bring you this news. I discovered it this morning from various other posts.” After a brief search, a story on on nola.com confirmed it with, “Beloved New Orleans photographer, foodie Pableaux Johnson dies after collapse at second line.” I just sat there in stunned silence as I felt my eyes well up with tears. Adrianne looked up and said, “What?” I just held up my phone so that she could see the story. “Oh, my God,” she said. “Is that real? What is that?” She grabbed her phone and began searching for confirmation.I re-watched Dead Poets Society recently and in learning about Pableaux's death, I was reminded of the first stanza of this poem which was featured in the film.To the Virgins, to Make Much of TimeBy Robert HerrickGather ye rose-buds while ye may,Old Time is still a-flying;And this same flower that smiles todayTomorrow will be dying.The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,The higher he's a-getting,The sooner will his race be run,And nearer he's to setting.That age is best which is the first,When youth and blood are warmer;But being spent, the worse, and worstTimes still succeed the former.Then be not coy, but use your time,And while ye may, go marry;For having lost but once your prime,You may forever tarry.LINKSWesley VerhoevePableaux JohnsonBeloved New Orleans photographer, foodie Pableaux Johnson dies after collapse at second lineRed Beans Road ShowShare Your Favorite Memories of Pableaux JohnsonCONNECT WITH MEWebsite: https://jefferysaddoris.com  Instagram: @jefferysaddorisEmail: talkback@jefferysaddoris.comSUBSCRIBESubscribe to Almost Everything with Jeffery Saddoris in your favorite podcast app. You can also subscribe to my newsletter on Substack.

#CarpeDiem, poetry fans! ✍️ Tune in this week for an episode that'll make you stand on your desks

Ryan's first Friday show in 3 months tries to be extraordinary and also to seize a day or two in this monologue about Dead Poets Society. Robin Williams' performance as an inspirational poetry teacher at a posh prep school was up for an Oscar, but some critics thought his impressions of famous people was out of place. He IS funny, but his serious scenes are far more effective ("thank you, boys, thank you"). Robert Sean Leonard, a very-young Ethan Hawke and others are taught to think for themselves and to yawp barbarically in Dead Poets Society. They also learn about friendship, love and loyalty. Those topics and so many more come up in this 608th edition of Have You Ever Seen. So lock in for a ramble about an emotional melodrama where the boys learn a lot more about Walt Whitman than anyone thought possible. Sparkplug Coffee contributes a verse to the world of great beans.

Introduction:   When my good friend and fellow podcaster and radio host Kenzo Shibata hit me up and told me that he felt 1989 was the greatest year in film history, I thought that was a bold claim. Sure, I knew the original Michael Keaton *Batman* hit theaters that year, but beyond that, the details were a bit fuzzy. For many of us, especially those who came of age during the rise of home video, the lines between what was in theaters, what went straight to video, and what aired on cable often blur together. 1989 was a pivotal year—a moment when the cinematic landscape was rapidly changing, and the home video market was beginning to dominate how we consumed movies.   The year 1989 revitalized the superhero genre with Batman, saw Patrick Swayze transition from Dirty Dancing to playing the zen-like badass Dalton in Roadhouse, and introduced us to A-list actor Brad Pitt in the indie slasher Cutting Class. Christian Slater stepped into the spotlight as a teenage skateboarding detective in Gleaming the Cube, while Wes Craven tried to franchise another horror icon with Shocker.   Horror and comedy were in full swing that year, with Weekend at Bernie's giving us everyone's favorite dead uncle, and Disney making waves with The Little Mermaid. Robin Williams showcased his dramatic range in Dead Poets Society, while Denzel Washington delivered one of his most iconic scenes in Glory. Many believe that Spike Lee made a powerful statement with Do the Right Thing (I'm still trying to figure out what that “statement” is?), and James Spader broke away from his typical high school villain roles in Sex, Lies, and Videotape. Not to mention, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg brought us the third installment of the Indiana Jones franchise. And that's just scratching the surface!   So, grab your popcorn, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! We'll be diving deep into the films of 1989, exploring every genre, every standout performance, and every iconic scene. And don't forget—we'll be opening up the phone lines in the Champagne Room for you to chime in with your thoughts. What films did we miss? What's your favorite from this era?   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out. We appreciate each and everyone of you.

Welcome back to a new school year and another episode of the The Video Store Podcast. Hope you've gathered your school supplies and movie rentals for back-to-school time. First up is a horror film that will remind you that no matter how tough your school might be, it could always be worse. It's 1977's Suspiria directed by Dario Argento. This classic film is the first in his Three Mothers trilogy. It's one of those films that shows just how scary going to school can be. There's horror, there's drama, but the good news is, your school probably isn't run by witches. With an iconic score by Goblin and incredible sound editing, Suspiria is a film that keeps you coming back every school year. The second film on our list this week is the Academy Award-nominated and winning film, Dead Poets Society from 1989. This film will have you seizing the day and standing on your desk shouting “Oh Captain, my Captain!” by the end. The film also focuses on the pressures young men face to have “success” and to suppress emotions back in 1959, and honestly, still today. It's a timeless classic that sets the mood for back to school. The third film on our list pairs well with our second—Mona Lisa Smile from 2003. While the film is sometimes called Dead Poets Society with girls, I think that undercuts the film. While yes, there are similarities, Mona Lisa Smile focuses on the pressures facing women in the early 50s, rather than men. Both perspectives are valuable, making it a great double bill with the previous film. Look for a cameo from singer Tori Amos in this one.The last film in our show this week is the 1985 comedy, Real Genius directed by Martha Coolidge. Starring Val Kilmer, Gabriel Jarret, William Atherton, Robert Prescott, and Michelle Meyrink, Real Genius is about some college students, including a child prodigy, who find out their school project is actually an illegal government project. Make some popcorn for this one. You'll be glad you did. We hope these selections will help you have a great start to the school year. Here's hoping your school year is filled with great teachers, great friends, plenty of popcorn, and 100% less murder than in Suspiria.
