Send us a textJupiter slides into Cancer, his place of exaltation, and the cosmic professor swaps chalkboards for casseroles—nurturing, expansive, and fierce all at once. In this episode, Justine and Scarlett trace Jupiter's 12-year return cycles, from Obama-era optimism to Greta Thunberg's chart, from Montessori's child-led wisdom to AI ethics think tanks.They break down Jupiter's nakshatras—Punarvasu (endless arrows), Vishakha (fire and thresholds), and Purvabhadrapada (Kundalini lightning)—all feline fierce, all Durga-coded. Fashion goes saffron bathrobes and octopus-alien costumes, music runs from Aretha Franklin's gospel to Quincy Jones' orchestral genius, and film picks span Dead Poets Society to Free Willy.Myth-wise, Indra learns the hard way what happens when you snub your teacher, as Bṛhaspati walks out and the devas lose their divine shield. It's a story of humility, wisdom, and the radiant power of exalted Jupiter—our collective reminder to bow to what truly nourishes.Support the show
Rich reacts to Justin Herbert leading the Chargers to an unbeaten start with three-straight wins over their AFC West rivals to kick off the season, says why the Las Vegas Raiders need to uncork rookie RB Ashton Jeanty sooner rather than later, and weighs in on the Kansas City Chiefs avoiding an 0-3 start with a Sunday Night Football win over the New York Giants. Actor Ethan Hawke joins Rich in-studio to discuss his new ‘The Lowdown' show on FX, and reveals why he rooted for the Dallas Cowboys growing up, and shares some great stories about making ‘Dead Poets Society,' ‘Training Day,' ‘Reality Bites' and getting mistaken for Kevin Bacon and Sugar Ray lead singer Mark McGrath in a round of ‘Celebrity True or False.' Rich reacts to the breaking news that 49ers DE Nick Bosa will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
From Malibu's Most Wanted to Most Hung?The banter begins with Jamie Kennedy's legendary TV and film career—but quickly shifts to the elephant on the internet. Yes, THAT photo. Is it real? We get the truth straight from Jamie himself. (Spoiler: blurry or not, it's all him.)From Scream to The Jamie Kennedy ExperimentThe boys celebrate Jamie's cultural moments and roast the younger generation for confusing him with James Kennedy from Vanderpump Rules. According to one producer, Jamie had even “died in a hot tub.” Jamie takes it in stride: “I'm alive, bitches.” Playboy Mansion Secrets & Trunk Sneak-InsJamie shares wild-but-wholesome nights at the Playboy Mansion—rubbing shoulders with Carmen Electra and Anna Nicole Smith, and partying with Too Short on the mic. Meanwhile, Pol' confesses to sneaking in via a car trunk. They may have even crossed paths at one of those parties… destiny? The coffee thinks so. Coffee Reading Gets Real: “Who's Whispering in Your Ear?”Pol' delivers a powerful coffee cup reading that stops Jamie in his tracks, diving into:· Emotional stagnancy· Life-changing decisions· The blurred line between Jamie the person and the persona· And if he should finally put a ring on girlfriend Elyssa's fingerIt's insightful, eerie, and so accurate it gives Jamie chills. “You're 100% right,” he admits. “I have to be all of me. Always.” Hollywood Then & NowJamie opens up about the early days—from being an extra in Dead Poets Society, to Romeo + Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio, to the breakout success of Scream. He recalls working with Steve Martin and Ellen DeGeneres and reflects on how much the industry has changed. Verdict? Social media fame ≠ movie star. He's rooting for passion over followers. Red Carpet Scams & Designer TeaPol' drops a bombshell: a major actress demanded six figures just to wear one of his gowns to the Oscars—even though his designs have graced winners like Karen Tolliver (Hair Love). Jamie's jaw drops. “She made $20 million and wants you to pay her?!” As always, Pol' and Patrik bring fashion realness with a side of shade. Hot Topics & Flirty Chaos· Zoe Kravitz & Harry Styles: Cute or confusing? Pol' says let them live.· Jamie's 20-year age gap with Elyssa: He defends it with honesty and humor. (Also, she's not in 12th grade. Relax.)· OnlyFans culture: Jamie calls out society's weird double standards—and if he'd ever post a pickle shot. Snow BooBoo Is Coming…Pol' & Patrik tease their adorable new doll line: Snow BooBoo from Snow White 90210. Jamie's sold. Pre-orders are open, and this booboo's ready to slay. Final ThoughtsBetween the jokes, raunch, and Hollywood chaos, this episode shows a man at a crossroads—balancing fame, love, legacy, and authenticity. Whether you're a longtime Jamie Kennedy fan or just meeting him, Undressed reminds you that real connection always beats public perception. Don't miss Part 2—coming soon! More revelations, more glam, and more Jamie Kennedy.

It's audience choice time! Our Patrons voted on our "Back-To-School" episode and so this week we're talking about DEAD POETS SOCIETY. We're defending stuck-up school administrators who weren't actually that strict, talk about how standing on a desk isn't actually teaching poetry and digging into kids whose idea of "seizing the day" is to exactly copy what their teacher did 20 years ago.

This week, the Shat The Movies boys dust off their prep school blazers and follow Robin Williams into Welton Academy for 1989's Dead Poets Society. Commissioned by listener Rob F., this Oscar-winning coming-of-age drama gave the world “Carpe Diem,” a standing-on-desks finale, and enough inspiration to launch a thousand “cool teacher” clichés. But does it still move us 35 years later, or has it become too earnest for its own good? Gene and Big D wrestle with their own school baggage while debating whether John Keating is a saintly mentor or a reckless enabler who lit fires in his students without offering any guardrails. We revisit Ethan Hawke's breakout role, the betrayal of Cameron (still unforgivable), and whether Neil's tragedy hits harder as adults who now understand the crushing weight of parental expectation. Along the way, Big D confesses he usually hates “inspirational teacher” movies, Gene compares Keating's lessons to Krav Maga, and both hosts admit Robin Williams nails his most delicate performance without veering into schmaltz. Is Dead Poets Society timeless poetry, or just a prep school fantasy that collapses under its own sentimentality? Seize the day and find out.

Robin Williams is the definition of a powerhouse. An all-star comedian, stand-up, and actor, Robin hits it big with his breakout role on TV's “Mork & Mindy.” After that, he becomes one of Hollywood's most successful - and most beloved - stars. With performances in movies like “Good Morning Vietnam,” “Dead Poets Society,” and his Oscar-winning turn in “Good Will Hunting,” there was nothing Robin couldn't do. A master of both drama and comedy, he could alternately break your heart or make you die laughing. But behind closed doors, trouble was brewing. Old demons of addiction haunt the “Mrs. Doubtfire” star, and provide a dark hole that Robin struggles to pull himself out of. Even though Robin's now gone, he is definitely not forgotten. And the legacy he leaves behind is one filled that's filled with light, love, and above all else - laughter.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

The school vibe continues with a comedy classic for the entire family - Dead Poets Society starring the late great Robin Williams. Will Seanán hate this as much as he hated the Club?!
Anna Vocino Returns!Take a walk with me down Fascination Street, as I get to know even more about Anna Vocino. Anna's first appearance on the show was released on 6.13.22. I recomend going back and checking that one out, as it was A BLAST! This time around, we discuss some different stuff. We kick the show off talking about her first experience on a film set. Anna was in the classic film Dead Poets Society, where she got to hang out with the late, great Robin Williams. We then transition into her work on another Robin Williams project, this time for television. The Crazy Ones was one of Robin's last projects, so naturally I ask her about working on that with him. Anna and I then talk about a series she worked on called Free Radio, and she tells some great stories from that set as well. Then we move onto the subject of her health. Anna has some fairly unique immune related issues that she deals with on a daily basis. She is fine, but does navigate some challenges, and she is very open about dealing with those. Of course, we discuss her working with the wonderful Vinnie Tortorich and theie podcast Fitness Confidential, before we dive into her Eat Happy empire! Anna has released 3 cookbooks (a fourth to be released in October of 2026), and an ever growing product line! Eat Happy Kitchen currently offers: 4 pasta sauces (marinara, arrabbiata, puttanesca, pink crema), and 1 seasonal pasta sauce (pumpkin marinara), as well as 4 spice mixes (BBQ Dust, Taco Seasoning, Dill Ranch Seasoning, Salt / Onion Dust), and now offering 3 flavors of Crispy Crunchy Cheese Bites (Cheddar & BBQ, White Cheddar & Onion, Monterey Jack & Onion). We talk about all of these products, and where to find them. They are all available at EatHappyKitchen.com, as well as myriad grocery stores nation wide. Anna shares some behind the scenes stories about what it takes to get a product on the shelf at your local grocery store. As always, no matter what we are talking about; Anna brings the funny! Oh, and pay special attention because we decide to offer a special deal to all of the listeners!
I first heard this quote in the incredible movie, The Dead Poets Society, featuring Robin Williams. It was a role that earned him significant nominations from the Motion Picture industry, but, through an oversight born of myopia, he did not win. The Germans, however, did bestow an award for Best International Actor. Gracias, Deutschland for doing what the Academy, with their heads up their asses, refused to do...honor greatness.

Send us a textWhat happens when creative theme park fans decide to imagine the absolute worst possible Disney lands? We're about to find out while sipping on one of Epcot's most unusual cocktails.We kick things off by sampling the La Cava Avocado from La Hacienda de San Angel in the Mexico Pavilion – a unique $19 concoction featuring tequila, Midori, fresh avocado, lime juice, and agave. With its smoothie-like consistency and surprising flavor profile, this drink proves to be unexpectedly enjoyable and potentially a sleeper hit for our year-end list.Then we unleash our worst (or best?) terrible theme park concepts. "Corporate Land" brings the magic of endless meetings to life with attractions like the TPS Report Coaster that never actually leaves the station and the Annual Shareholders Review Musical. "Tax Season Terrace" features an IRS Audit dark ride and the Deduction Deli where servers take 30% of your food and throw it away right in front of you.The creativity continues with "Diet Land" (requiring 30,000 mandatory steps), "Dental Kingdom" (featuring the painfully slow "Floss Coaster"), "Plumland" (bathroom-themed attractions with active splash zones), "Potato Land" (celebrating root vegetables with no cleanup stations), and "The Emotionally Repressed Frontier" (where animatronics silently process family issues).Our most intriguing bad idea might be "Touchstone Land," celebrating Disney's adult-oriented film label with attractions based on hits like "The Rock," "Dead Poets Society," and "Pretty Woman." This concept actually contains elements many Disney fans might genuinely enjoy – proving that sometimes even terrible ideas contain a spark of inspiration.Join us for this hilarious brainstorming session that blends Disney parks knowledge, nostalgia, and creativity into one unforgettable cocktail of an episode. What's your favorite terrible theme park concept?Here's who we are and what is in store for you

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.
