Empire Records (1995) was chosen by Patreon supporter Nick, and it represents a perfect snapshot of mid-90s youth culture wrapped inside a modest studio comedy. Directed by Allan Moyle and produced by Regency Enterprises for Warner Bros., the film was developed during a period when studios were eager to tap into the alternative music scene and Generation X attitudes. Rather than focusing on blockbuster spectacle, the production centered on character-driven storytelling and the energy of independent record store culture, something that resonated strongly with the decade's music-obsessed audiences.Filming took place primarily in Wilmington, North Carolina, with production designers transforming a local storefront into the now-iconic Empire Records shop. The cast featured a mix of emerging young actors, many of whom would go on to have prominent careers in film and television. Although the movie underperformed during its initial theatrical release, it found new life on home video and cable television throughout the late 1990s. Over time, Empire Records developed a passionate cult following, becoming one of the defining nostalgia pieces for fans of 90s alternative culture and music-driven coming-of-age films.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISOne record store. One unforgettable day. And a group of employees who refuse to let the music stop.When a tight-knit crew of misfits faces the possibility of losing the place that means everything to them, emotions run high, tempers flare, and secrets start spilling out. Over the course of one chaotic day, friendships are tested, dreams collide, and the soundtrack of a generation plays loud.Empire Records — where the music is loud, the drama is louder, and the day will change everything.FUN FACTSEmpire Records was released during the height of the 1990s alternative rock boom, featuring a soundtrack packed with era-defining artists.The film helped popularize the phrase “Damn the man, save the Empire!”, which became a lasting cult quote among fans.Several cast members, including Liv Tyler and Renée Zellweger, were early in their careers when the film was released.The movie's soundtrack album became more commercially successful than the film itself, selling strongly throughout the 1990s.Many scenes in the film were trimmed or removed from the theatrical cut, with additional material later appearing in extended versions.October 8th has become known among fans as “Rex Manning Day,” inspired by one of the film's most memorable in-universe events.The movie is frequently cited as a cult classic of Generation X cinema, capturing the attitudes and anxieties of 90s youth culture.The fictional Empire Records store was inspired by the independent record shops that thrived before digital music changed the industry.Over the years, the film has inspired fan screenings, themed parties, and annual celebrations tied to its cultural references.Despite its modest box office, the movie's reputation has grown significantly thanks to home video and streaming-era rediscovery.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/031426.cfmFather Anthony Gramlich, MIC, teaches that the Lenten journey begins with prayer, the foundation for all spiritual growth. Prayer is conversation with God, opening the heart to the Lord. Even five seconds to make the Sign of the Cross and offer thanks is sufficient. Time is the greatest gift God gives, and there is no excuse for neglecting prayer.Father Anthony distinguishes between quantity and quality of prayer. One prayer from the heart surpasses many from the lips. The Holy Spirit guides authentic prayer, praying through and with believers. Before praying, invoke the Holy Spirit to overcome distraction and focus the mind.Jesus presents two examples of prayer in the Gospel. The Pharisee represents how NOT TO pray. Though knowledgeable of the 613 commandments and scrupulous in observance, his prayer centered on himself. He thanked God he was not like others — greedy, dishonest, adulterers. His fasting, almsgiving, and prayer led to pride and judgment of others. Success in Lenten practices can breed arrogance if the heart remains unexamined.The tax collector exemplifies how TO pray. Ostracized by society for collaborating with Rome and enriching himself, he stood at a distance, eyes downcast, beating his breast. His prayer was simple: "O God, be merciful to me, a sinner." Directed toward God rather than himself, it embodied humility. He acknowledged his creature-hood, confessed his sinfulness, and pleaded for mercy.Father Anthony notes this prayer appears at Mass's beginning and before Holy Communion. We call on the Lamb of God, acknowledging unworthiness. God makes us worthy, not ourselves. Two groups fail to pray properly: those claiming no sin, blinded by pride, and those fearing God's justice without trusting His mercy.The tax collector recognized his sin yet trusted God's unlimited mercy. Jesus declared him justified. The moral proverb applies: everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted. Lent's purpose is humility. Whether succeeding or failing in Lenten practices, all roads lead to the cross.Salvation comes through Jesus on the cross, not human effort. Only at the foot of the cross, humbled like Mary and the disciples, do we find salvation. The resurrection follows the cross. The seed must die in the ground to rise. Lent takes believers through darkness and cold to the tomb with Christ, so they may rise with Him on the third day. ★ Support this podcast ★

I am absolutely thrilled to announce a powerhouse collaboration of storytelling and stagecraft! The incredibly talented Atlanta Playwright Jacob York stopped by The Ash Said It Show for an exclusive, deep-dive conversation about his highly anticipated world premiere of INITIATIVE. This isn't just a play; it's a groundbreaking theatrical event opening at the end of this month at the prestigious Aurora Theatre in Lawrenceville, GA. Running from March 26 through April 19, 2026, this production is already the talk of the Atlanta arts community, and I cannot wait for you to hear the heart and soul behind this script. Directed by the visionary Katie Erin Chambers, Initiative is a brilliant exploration of friendship, legacy, and the power of imagination. The story follows a tight-knit group of friends who gather around a gaming table for one final, epic campaign—one that beautifully transcends the boundaries of fantasy and reality. As the character Dave battles an aggressive illness, he turns to the legendary world of Dungeons & Dragons to manufacture the milestones he fears he'll never reach. With every roll of the d20, his companions craft a quest that encompasses a lifetime of memories, from the profound responsibilities of fatherhood to the simple wonder of seeing the ocean for the first time. This play is the ultimate "crit hit" for theater lovers and tabletop gamers alike. It delivers the perfect combination of unapologetic nerdiness, deep-seated pathos, and genuine joy. Audiences can expect a rollercoaster of emotions—complete with thrilling sword fights, menacing orcs, and those heavy moments of existential dread that make us human. It is a testament to how we use play and community to navigate the hardest parts of our lives. Whether you are a seasoned Paladin or have never touched a character sheet, York's writing ensures that the human element is front and center. I'm diving into the creative process with Jacob to discuss how he balanced the mechanics of RPG gaming with such a high-stakes emotional narrative. This is the must-see world premiere of the season, and you'll want to hear every detail right here before the curtain rises at the Aurora Theatre.

Shat The Movies heads to New York City for Quick Change, the 1990 crime comedy starring Bill Murray as a master planner who pulls off the perfect bank robbery… only to discover escaping Manhattan is the real heist. Directed by Murray and Howard Franklin, the film pairs Murray's signature dry frustration with a city that seems determined to sabotage every step of the getaway. Gene and Big D break down the chaotic charm of Geena Davis and Randy Quaid, exploring why the movie obsesses over the uniquely exhausting experience of navigating New York City. From the clown-mask bank robbery to wrong turns, broken taxis, suspicious cops, and Tony Shalhoub, Quick Change becomes less about the crime and more about the slow psychological breakdown of trying to leave town. Is Quick Change an overlooked Bill Murray classic, or just a very specific kind of urban nightmare that only works if you've ever tried to get across Manhattan in a hurry?

Let's put on a show! It's season 8 for Paul and Corey Cross the Streams, and this season we're watching musicals. It's a singular art form with a dynamic history, and we get to listen to a lot of cast recordings... It may be the Great Depression, but Paul and Corey are in the money! Yes, this week's episode is Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933). Directed by Mervyn Leroy, music & lyrics by Harry Warren and Al Dubin, choreography by Busby Berkeley, and starring Joan Blondell, Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, Ginger Rogers, and Aline MacMahon (and more), Gold Diggers of 1933 was and is a classic of Hollywood musicals. However, Corey really didn't like it. The boys discuss sexism and the Male Gaze, the Hayes Code, spectacle and Busby Berkeley's impact on filmmaking, the reappraisal of musicals of the '20s and '30s that happened in the '70s, and even the Bonus Army.

Top Secret! (1984) was chosen by Dave, and it arrived during a golden era for absurdist American comedy. Directed by the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team — Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker — the film followed the massive success of Airplane! (1980) as the trio continued refining their signature style of rapid-fire sight gags, visual jokes, and deadpan delivery. Rather than parodying a single film, the production blended elements of Cold War spy thrillers with the glossy style of Elvis-era musical films, creating a deliberately ridiculous mash-up that leaned fully into the trio's love of relentless, layered comedy.The film also marked the first starring role for Val Kilmer, who was cast largely because of his musical ability as well as his comedic timing. Production took place primarily in the United Kingdom, with elaborate sets and carefully staged visual gags that often required precise choreography and multiple takes. The filmmakers invested heavily in practical effects and cleverly staged illusions to achieve some of the movie's more elaborate jokes. While Top Secret! performed modestly at the box office compared to the team's earlier success, it gradually developed a strong cult following, and today it's widely regarded as one of the most densely packed gag comedies of the 1980s.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISFrom the creators of some of the most outrageous comedies ever made… comes a mission so ridiculous, it might actually work.When an all-American rock star suddenly finds himself caught in a world of secret agents, suspicious governments, and impossible missions, the result is chaos on an international scale. With danger around every corner and nonsense at every turn, nothing is quite what it seems.Top Secret! — the spy movie where the jokes come faster than the bullets.FUN FACTSTop Secret! was Val Kilmer's film debut, launching the career of the future star of Top Gun and The Doors.Kilmer performed all of the singing himself, recording several full musical numbers for the film.The filmmakers created one famous scene by building an entire set backwards and having actors perform actions in reverse.The movie contains one of the highest joke-per-minute rates of any comedy film, packed with background gags and blink-and-you-miss-it jokes.Many of the film's jokes parody 1950s Elvis Presley musicals, including the musical performances.The filmmakers encouraged audiences to watch the movie multiple times, knowing many jokes would be missed on a first viewing.Several gags in the film rely on carefully timed visual illusions, which required extensive rehearsal during production.The movie has become a cult favorite among comedy fans, often ranked alongside Airplane! and The Naked Gun.A number of jokes were edited differently in international versions of the film.The film's layered humor means fans still discover new background jokes decades after its release.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

YouTube tried to erase us — but they can't kill the tape Halfway through our live breakdown of The L.A. Riot Spectacular (2005), the broadcast suddenly disappeared with zero warning while we were still on air, still talking, still laughing at the mysteriously empty viewer count. No strike notice. No explanation. Just gone. So here it is — the full, resurrected episode. We finally dig into one of the strangest spoof comedies ever made: an Airplane-style gag movie about the 1992 Los Angeles riots. Directed by music-video veteran Marc Klasfeld and starring Snoop Dogg, Emilio Estevez, and T.K. Carter, the film plays like ZAZ chaos dropped straight into one of the most combustible moments in modern American history. We break down how it got made, what works (if anything), what absolutely doesn't, and why this thing even exists — plus what actually happened when the original stream vanished mid-recording.
