Mari Otsu joins Stephen Blackwood for a deeply personal conversation about her journey through the wounds of materialism, ideology, and spiritual forgetting, and her return to the soul through the beauty of the humanities. Reflecting on her years at NYU and the Grand Central Atelier, Mari speaks of a longing that nothing in the modern, politicized worldview could satisfy, and how she found healing in therapy, classical painting, and, most profoundly, the living philosophical community of Ralston College. Engaging with the works of Plotinus, Boethius, and Dante, she discovered a path of purification and ascent that restored her sense of meaning and inspired her to share these treasures with others. This conversation explores the roots of today's meaning crisis and the redemptive power of beauty, thought, and imagination to heal the soul.

Tonight, we'll read the opening fairy tale from The Descent of the Sun: A Cycle of Birth published in 1903. This book was purportedly translated from unidentified Sanskrit manuscripts by F. W. Bain. More likely, the stories were only inspired by ancient Hindu myths. Bain, a British academic and translator, presented his works as delicate artifacts from the East, complete with ornate introductions describing his supposed discoveries. At the time, readers were fascinated by such “found” works, and many took them at face value, seeing them as glimpses into an exoticized vision of Indian literature. Only later did scholars conclude that Bain had likely authored the stories himself, drawing loosely on Hindu philosophy and mythological themes. Whether authentic translation or original invention, The Descent of the Sun blends the cadence of classical myth with the romantic imagination of turn-of-the-century fantasy. The tales explore creation and rebirth, the intertwining of fate and desire, and the enduring victory of love over hardship—framed in the lyrical, almost musical prose that Bain favored. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

As stated at numerous points in this episode, a lot of the things discussed here can be found in the documentary Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus. We urge you to go check out that film here: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/qlazzarus as it is a brilliant piece of work. For long time pod fans, this episode could technically be classed as part of our unsong series. But the reality is that the story of Q Lazzarus is so interesting, that it simply bursts out of the constraints of that format. Q Lazzarus/Diane Luckey, is best known for the song "Goodbye Horses", a track that you've almost certainly heard at some point in your life. It's most notable use was in the Jonathan Demme classic Silence of the Lambs, but it has been used in a bunch of films since then, and covered by an array of artists. It is, in fact, that only "official" release by Q Lazzarus. She would later go on to appear in Demme's next film, the wonderful Philadelphia, singing a cover of Roxy Music's classic tune "Heaven". After that, though, she would simply vanish from the industry entirely. So what happened? Why did this seemingly promising up and coming artist, who had two huge brushes with fame, suddenly disappear without trace? Well, it's a rather complicated, and compelling, story that touches on industry discrimination, artist exploitation, and the music business's treatment of unique talents. This week we dive into that story, with the help of a remarkable documentary film called Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus - a film that came about through an almost impossibly serendipitous encounter between filmmaker Eva Aridjis Fuentes and her mysterious subject. The documentary is available on Vimeo and you should absolutely check it out for yourself, alongside the Sacred Bones compilation of her previously unreleased works. Please note that this story deals with some heavy themes and doesn't have the resolution we might hope for, but it's an important and deeply affecting tale that deserves to be told.

This next movie pick comes from VHS Strikes Back Patreon Matt Bates, and he's chosen a gritty, bloody, and proudly British cult favourite: Dog Soldiers (2002). Directed by Neil Marshall in his feature debut, this film has become a fan-favourite among horror and action enthusiasts alike, thanks to its blend of pitch-black humour, practical effects, and relentless werewolf mayhem. It's a howling good time—and an ambitious low-budget thriller that punches well above its weight.Shot on a modest budget of around £2 million, Dog Soldiers was filmed almost entirely in Luxembourg, standing in for the Scottish Highlands. Neil Marshall, previously known for his editing work, wrote the script and directed the film with a scrappy indie spirit. The movie faced its share of production hurdles—tight schedules, unpredictable weather, and the ever-present challenge of doing creature effects on a budget. Instead of CGI, Marshall opted for practical werewolf suits, a choice that helped cement the film's cult status. Despite limited theatrical release, it became a sleeper hit on home video and has since earned a reputation as one of the best werewolf films of the modern era, launching Marshall's directing career and paving the way for his later hits like The Descent and Doomsday.Check out Matt's YouTube channel here. If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryThey were just soldiers… on a routine training mission in the remote Scottish Highlands.

From the director of The Descent comes a relentless, blood-soaked battle for survival. This time, the enemy isn't human… it's hungry. Dog Soldiers - lock, load, and pray for daylight.Fun FactsNo CGI Werewolves – The film proudly used practical effects and full-body creature suits instead of CGI, giving the werewolves a more physical and grounded presence.Filmed in Luxembourg – Although set in the Scottish Highlands, the movie was shot in Luxembourg due to funding and tax incentive reasons.Delayed U.S. Release - Although released in the UK in 2002, Dog Soldiers didn't hit U.S. theaters or DVD shelves until 2005, building anticipation through word-of-mouth.Cult Status – The film was a festival favourite, winning the Audience Award at the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film.Practical Explosions – All explosions and gunfire effects were done live on set, giving the action scenes a visceral, old-school war movie feel.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

When Main Street Meets Superpowers: Building Community Through Localism, Crowdfunding, and CollaborationEach month, I have the genuine privilege of sitting down with my friend and colleague Jen Risley, editor of The Main Street Journal, for a conversation that bridges our shared passion for impact, innovation, and community-rooted change. Our most recent dialogue was no exception—it was a deeply thoughtful exchange exploring the intersections of decentralization, localism, and the real power of community-centered finance.And this month's chat brought a bonus: the announcement of Main Street Journal's most-read issue to date, “A Localism Manifesto.” It's an extraordinary piece that's resonating not only with Jen's readers but now across the broader Substack ecosystem. If you haven't read it yet, consider this your personal invitation.But beyond just catching up on what's new in our respective publications, this conversation highlighted something more powerful: the way our two newsletters—Main Street Journal and Superpowers for Good—complement and enrich each other. So today, I'd like to recap our exchange, share some exciting announcements, and invite you to subscribe to both newsletters for the full scope of this evolving conversation around community, capital, and change.A Localism Manifesto: Decentralization with HeartJen opened our chat by highlighting the incredible traction “A Localism Manifesto” has gained since its release on July 10. Penned with contributions from Paul Spinrad and Michael H. Shuman, the manifesto doesn't just explore the theoretical underpinnings of decentralization—it invites community members to shape its next iteration. That's not just content; that's co-creation.For Jen, the concept of decentralism was initially daunting—especially coming from New Hampshire, where the libertarian Free State Movement has made headlines. But the manifesto reimagines decentralization as a tool for building resilient, equitable communities, not just a political stance. “There's a lot of real value in that position,” she said, and I wholeheartedly agree.Our conversation touched on the risks of relying solely on government solutions—particularly at the federal level. While I've always believed in the potential for good in government, I also see firsthand the limits and bureaucracy that can get in the way. As I shared with Jen, I once had five different people at the California DMV mistakenly insist I needed a smog test for my electric vehicle. (Spoiler: I didn't.)This is exactly why Main Street Journal's work is so important. It offers grounded, accessible pathways for rebuilding economic systems from the bottom up—starting on our very own Main Streets.Decent Tuesday, Anarchy, and the Power of LanguageWe also celebrated the addition of Paul Spinrad to the Main Street Journal team. Paul, one of the early champions of the 2012 JOBS Act that enabled today's investment crowdfunding landscape, is helping to lead a new series called “Decent Tuesday.” The name itself is a clever double entendre—Decent, as in ethical, and Descent, as in decentralization.Paul's launch column tackled a bold topic: anarchy. Not the violent imagery we might typically associate with the term, but anarchy in the truest sense of community self-governance and mutual aid. It's a provocative frame, and Paul's thoughtful treatment brings it firmly into the realm of community-led development.As someone who has seen both the power and pitfalls of government, I find these discussions invaluable. They sharpen our thinking, challenge our assumptions, and remind us that even controversial ideas can have a role in shaping a better world—especially when led by voices like Paul's and platforms like Jen's.Jenny Kasson's Crowdfunding Campaign: A Case Study in ActionJen was also inspired by my recent interview with Jenny Kassan—another pillar in our space—who is leading an equity crowdfunding campaign on Small Change to finance a transformative community real estate project in Baltimore.Jenny's campaign isn't just about raising capital. It's a real-time case study in how local investing, ecosystem thinking, and community ownership come together. The project will create furnished rental spaces with flexible terms (think: part Airbnb, part long-stay apartments) and community-oriented ground floor uses. It's a blend of economic development and social impact that's both inspiring and practical.Jen pointed out how Jenny is also exploring complementary tools like time banking. As she noted, “It takes a lot more to create an ecosystem of local investing.” That insight captures the holistic nature of what we're building across our platforms: sustainable, inclusive systems that elevate everyone—not just investors or entrepreneurs.From SuperCrowdLA to SuperCrowd25In that spirit, I shared my own exciting news: the release of our new book, The Big Ideas That Lit Up SuperCrowdLA. It's a curated, refined distillation of the talks and insights from our recent SuperCrowdLA conference—organized not as a transcript, but as a harmonized narrative built with the help of AI and a whole lot of human editing.This project was a joy to create, and I learned so much in the process. You can get it now as an eBook, paperback, hardcover, or audiobook—whatever format suits your learning style.We also previewed SuperCrowd25, our fourth annual virtual summit on impact crowdfunding, streaming live across Substack and social media August 21–22. It's free to attend, but our $25 VIP package adds access to exclusive networking opportunities, a permanent LinkedIn group, bonus webinars, and speaker handouts. It's the best $25 you'll spend this year if you're building or funding impact-driven ventures.And yes—if the new book resonates, we just might release a SuperCrowd25 book, too!Subscribe, Support, and Build With UsAt the end of the day, Main Street Journal and Superpowers for Good are two sides of the same coin. Jen and I are championing different facets of the same movement: one that values people over profits, community over corporations, and action over apathy.So if you've enjoyed the ideas in this piece, I have two invitations for you:* Subscribe to both newsletters.We're each doing our best work on Substack—and getting both perspectives will give you a richer, more complete view of this growing ecosystem of changemakers.* Become a paid subscriber if you can.Your support allows us to keep doing this work—and unlocks bonus content, community, and tools that help you take your own next step, whether that's launching a campaign or building a stronger local economy.We truly are better together. Let's keep learning, building, and lifting each other up—one newsletter, one campaign, and one Main Street at a time. Get full access to Superpowers for Good at www.superpowers4good.com/subscribe

When she was just seven, her family moved into a big old house on Joppa Farm Road—one with peeling paint, drafty windows, and a door that used to be locked for a reason. What followed was a terrifying descent into the unexplained: a shadowy man with coal-black eyes, strange voices, nosebleeds, nightmares, and a presence that seemed to stalk her from room to room. Years later, the truth came out—but by then, the damage had been done. It was a haunting that changed the way she sees the world… and the dead.
