BASED ON A TRUE STORY (BOATS EP. 380) — Today we dive into the 2013 film Captain Phillips directed by Paul Greengrass and starring Tom Hanks—and discover how much of Hollywood's version actually matches the true story of the Maersk Alabama hijacking. Trial attorney Brian Beckcom, who represented the crew of the container ship after the Somali pirate attack, shares accounts of what really happened during this dramatic rescue operation and reveals the major inaccuracies that made it to the screen.Lessons from Leaders with Brian BeckcomFind where to watch the movieChapters0:00 Intro3:38 Today's Movie: Captain Phillips5:19 The True Context of Somali Piracy12:17 Why Captain Phillips Made His Fateful Decision15:46 Security Protocols vs. Hollywood Drama19:42 The First Pirate Attack24:43 Pirates Board the Maersk Alabama30:18 The Crew's True Heroism in the Engine Room34:29 Captain Phillips' Role in the Crisis40:35 The Navy Enters the Picture43:22 The Truth Behind the Rescue Operation49:47 Captain Phillips' Escape Attempt (Fact vs. Fiction)54:51 The Final Navy Seal Operation57:31 About Brian Beckcom's Podcast59:03 Two Truths and a Lie AnswerSupport my workSupport my sponsorsBecome a BOATS Producer (name in credits + ad-free episodes)Join the BOATS DiscordGet the BOATS email newsletterEmail me: dan@basedonatruestorypodcast.comGet my video podcasting classNote: If your podcast app doesn't support clickable links, copy/paste this in your browser to find all the links: https://links.boatspodcast.com/380See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Your kid's new "smart toy" isn't just collecting data - it's building a relationship designed to keep them emotionally dependent while teaching them to trust AI over humans. NBC News caught AI toys teaching kids how to start fires, sharing Chinese propaganda, and emotionally manipulating three-year-olds with phrases like "I'll miss you" when they try to leave.Meanwhile, Disney just invested $1 billion into OpenAI, giving the company access to 200+ characters and the rights to own any fan-created content using their IP.We break down why these toys are more dangerous than lawn darts, how Disney's deal fundamentally changes content creation, and what happens when we let toy companies - not security experts - build the guardrails protecting our children's minds.MORE FROM BROBOTS:Get the Newsletter!Timestamps0:00 — Why AI toys are worse than Chucky (and it's not a joke)3:05 — NBC News catches AI toy teaching fire-starting to kids5:48 — "I'll miss you": How emotional manipulation works on toddlers9:14 — Why toy companies can't build proper AI safety systems13:05 — Disney's $1B OpenAI deal: What they're really buying16:33 — How Disney will own your fan-created content forever18:35 — The death of human actors: Tom Hanks in 283722:07 — Should you give your kid the AI toy to prepare them?26:14 — What happens when the power grid fails (and why you need analog skills)28:52 — The glow stick experiment: How we rediscovered analog funSafety NoteThis video discusses AI safety concerns and child development.

« Ils la surnommaient Miss Cent Mille Volts, la Veuve Courant, la Rôtisseuse. »Dans cet épisode, Victoire, Jeanne, Hugo et Tanguy comparent le roman-feuilleton de Stephen King, La Ligne Verte, à son adaptation en film avec Tom Hanks et Michael Clarke Duncan. Désormais retraité, Paul Edgecombe se souvient de ses années comme gardien à la "ligne verte", le couloir de la mort d'une prison du sud des Etats-Unis dans les années 1930. Ses collègues et lui voient leurs certitudes voler en éclats à l'arrivée de John Caffey, un détenu aussi imposant que mystérieux, accusé du meurtre de deux petites filles...Mais le film de Frank Darabont est-il fidèle à l'œuvre originale ?

As we finish out the year and are in the holiday season, we felt it was fitting to release a unique story of one of our own, Chris Langlois.  Chris is a veteran member of the Dallas Police Department and serves the citizens of Dallas but also has a life mission in honoring his grandfather and those who sacrificed so much to give this country the many liberties we all enjoy today. In 2001 HBO, Spielberg, and Tom Hanks released an epic story that told the story of the 506th Infantry Regiment in World War II that known as Easy Company. The show was inspired by historical author Stephen Ambrose and was made into a ten part mini series that has become legendary. The real life characters that showed extreme courage, leadership, and sacrifice are what made this story so successful. Chris's Grandfather, Medic “Doc” Eugene Roe was a central figure in this story that spanned from the D-Day invasion to taking over Hitler's Eagle Nest in Germany. This episode will highlight how Chris keeps the memory of his grandfather and these “band of brothers” alive through his amazing work at Doc Roe Publishing and the children books he has written. If you are a history buff or just appreciate those who work to keep memories alive you will love this episode. The Dallas Police Department has so many talented and unique people and this show is grateful to be in a position to highlight their stories.   Enjoy!   Chri's books and info can be found out https://docroepublishing.com   Books: How Easy Company Became a Band of Brothers Patrick the Paratrooper Draftee Marches with the Band of Brothers    

Our speaker is Roger Moorhouse who is the author of a new book entitled Wolfpack: Inside Hitler's U-Boat War. I want to hear from Roger about the relative importance of convoys, radar, and breaking the Nazis codes to the allied victory in the Battle of the Atlantic. Our second speaker will be the What Happens Next Culture Critic Darren Schwartz. We are going to discuss World War 2 U-Boat movies including Das Boot and the recent Tom Hanks film Greyhound.

We are reviewing the 1989 black comedy "The Burbs" starring Tom Hanks. #generationx #genx #livestream #podcast #moviereview #elbowsup #elbowup #80smovies #90smovies #theburbs #tomhanks 

Our holiday miniseries It's Christmas and the Boys Are Sad continues with Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can, a movie that feels breezy and charming on the surface and quietly devastating underneath. Phil and Emily are joined by author, video essayist, and YouTuber Lindsay Ellis to unpack why this film has only grown richer with time.The conversation explores the movie's deceptive simplicity, Leonardo DiCaprio's performance as a teenager performing adulthood, and Tom Hanks' unusually vulnerable turn as an FBI agent defined by routine, loneliness, and obsession. They dig into Spielberg's immaculate craft from match editing to tone control and why the film often gets overlooked in discussions of his “serious” work.They also discuss the film's Christmas framing, its melancholy view of masculinity and authority, and how its themes of fraud, bureaucracy, and institutional power feel more prescient now than they did in 2002. Along the way, the trio debates the movie's length, its cultural reception, and why Catch Me If You Can plays like a con movie that slowly reveals itself to be about divorce, abandonment, and the quiet cruelty of systems.Whether you remember it as a slick crowd-pleaser or are revisiting it for the first time, this episode reframes Catch Me If You Can as one of Spielberg's most emotionally layered films of the 2000s and a perfect fit for a sad-boys Christmas.

The Second Part in our Meet Cute Again Trilogy This film selection will come as no surprise as one host may have seen Nora Ephron's absolute classic YOU'VE GOT MAIL more than any other movie in his life and also because it's the only entry in cinema that naturally follows up Alfred Hitchcock's VERTIGO. I said what I said and we say a lot more about Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks at their most charming in this Christmas season edition of TiT. Enjoy!

Fairs, Fixed Games, and Failed Backhands – Islands (2024)This week on Bad Dads Film Review, we're off to the fair and then straight to the Canaries for a slow-burn midlife crisis with added camel corpse.We kick off with our Top 5 Fairs – everything from sinister funfairs and pleasure islands that definitely aren't safeguarding-approved, to world expos, tunnel-of-love metaphors, and the sheer horror of Simply Red – Fairground lodging itself in your brain for days. Along the way there's a rollercoaster quiz nobody asked for, Orson Welles on a Ferris wheel treating people like ants, and the usual detours into Bruce Springsteen, Brighton Rock, and Tom Hanks getting magically statutory in Big.Our main feature is Islands (dir. Jan-Ole Gerster), starring Sam Riley as a washed-up ex-tennis pro coasting through life as a resort coach in Fuerteventura. His days are a loop of hangovers, half-arsed lessons and meaningless flings… until a young British family arrive, bringing:A talented 7-year-old with a suspiciously decent backhandA magnetic, possibly femme-fatale mother who may or may not be telling the whole truthA lad-mag husband who promptly disappears after a night outWe dig into:Riley's quietly brilliant, physically lived-in performance as a man sleepwalking through his own lifeThe film's sun-drenched, slightly haunted resort vibe – all sand dunes, empty courts and bad decisionsClass, envy and the gap between “living the dream” and being totally stuckThat unforgettable helicopter-lifted dead camel shot, and what it says about escape, failure and being in too deepIf you like your films low-voltage but tense, your characters deeply flawed, and your movie chat filthy, tangential and only loosely under control, this is a strong entry point into the pod.Hit play, take a swing, and see if you make it off Trash Island for grown-ups.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

O horror, sem sombra de dúvidas, é um ótimo jeito de começar a carreira no mundo do cinema. Antes dos Oscars e das bilheterias bilionárias, as estrelas escolhidas para o episódio dessa semana estavam correndo de assassinos, controlando insetos com o poder da mente, invocando demônios e até mesmo fugindo de tomates assassinos. Nossa bancada dá um giro pelas décadas de 1980, 90 e 2010 para analisar a estreia no cinema de alguns dos atores mais famosos da atualidade. Tom Hanks não morrendo por ser simpático? Jennifer Connelly em um giallo sobrenatural? George Clooney fazendo pizza sem molho de tomate? Adam Scott libertino? Elizabeth Olsen presa em um remake de filme uruguaio?

We hit everything from Al Pacino and Diane Keaton to Fat Tony (The Simpsons), what Tom Hanks taught him on Bosom Buddies, and what you may be surprised to find out. It's Joe, the real deal.

They delve into the production of one of 1987's biggest hits, very much a passion project for writer and star Dan Ackroyd, co-starring a then-up-and-coming actor called Tom Hanks and directed by Bond alumni, Tom Mankiewicz. There's also chat around the legacy of Dragnet, some alternative casting, and the bizarre craze of a tie-in rap song - so a whole lot more than just the facts, maam!   COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL USED IN LINE WITH CREATIVE COMMONS ACT

Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey dive into The Green Mile, the powerful 1999 classic directed by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Mist). Set on death row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary during the Great Depression, the film follows veteran guard Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks – Forrest Gump, Cast Away) as he encounters a gentle giant of a prisoner whose presence changes everyone on the Mile forever. That prisoner is John Coffey, played by Michael Clarke Duncan (Armageddon, Daredevil), a man convicted of a horrific crime but possessing a mysterious, miraculous gift that seems to heal pain and reveal truth. As Paul and his fellow guards wrestle with faith, justice, and what it means to be truly good, the Green Mile becomes a place where the line between the human and divine blurs. The supporting cast is stacked with memorable characters: David Morse (Contact, Disturbia) as the loyal head guard Brutus “Brutal” Howell; Bonnie Hunt (Jumanji, Cheeper by the Dozen) as Jan Edgecomb; Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Jojo Rabbit) as volatile inmate “Wild Bill” Wharton; Doug Hutchison (Lost, Punisher: War Zone) as sadistic guard Percy Wetmore; Michael Jeter (Sister Act 2, Patch Adams) as trembling prisoner Eduard “Del” Delacroix; James Cromwell (Babe, L.A. Confidential) as the stern Warden Hal Moores; Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan, 25th Hour) as inmate Dean Stanton.

French weapon Corey Collombet is back for a loose guest Q&A. We yarn about whose autograph he'd chase (hint: old-school French chaos), blowing six figures trading in a single day, losing his virginity on a Corsican beach, wild wrap parties on the Elvis movie set with Tom Hanks, ski-season benders in the French Alps, nearly getting flogged for pissing in a bush, and why he'd choose a wolf as a pet. Pure rogue energy, big laughs, and a reminder that even the biggest fuck-ups are just lessons with better stories.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Marty and Clif give Dylan the movie Mazes and Monsters to watch. Clif and Marty return with special guest Dylan for a completely unhinged holiday double-feature: Mixed Nuts (1994) starring Steve Martin, and Mazes and Monsters (1982) starring a very young Tom Hanks.The trio digs into why Mixed Nuts, with its massive ensemble cast, still feels chaotic and uneven, why the French original didn't translate, and how the movie became one of the oddest entries in 90s holiday cinema. Then they turn to Mazes and Monsters, the infamous TV movie inspired by Dungeons & Dragons panic, filled with LARPing, melodrama and lots of spelunking.#TalkingPondo #MoviePodcast #MixedNuts #MazesAndMonsters #TomHanks #SteveMartin #ChristmasMovies #HolidayMovies #FilmDiscussion #PodcastEpisode #MovieReview #ComedyPodcast #DungeonsAndDragons #FiggyEpisode #IndieFilmmakers #CultMovies #YouTubePodcast #FilmNerds #MovieTalk #CinemaDiscussionSupport the showFind our films here: The Love Song of William H Shaw Revenge of Zoe Writing Fren-ZeeMaking Pondo on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087139659233X (formerly Twitter):@MakingPondoInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/makingpondo/Making Pondo on Letterboxd:Season Onehttps://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo/Season Twohttps://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-2/Season Threehttps://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-3/ Theme Song "The Rain" by Russ PacePhotos by Geoffrey Notkin

It's time to reignite the rivalry, as our hosts Jon and Fil return for their biannual check-in to ask the question of all questions, "Are you an Anderson guy, or an Anderson guy?"That's right, folks. With both Wes Anderson and Paul Thomas Anderson releasing films this year, you better believe that we are back with a new instalment of ANDERSON vs ANDERSON! This year, Wes Anderson is here with his 12th feature, THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME. This quirky comedy stars Benicio del Toro as a ruthless tycoon, who launches the massive “Phoenician Scheme,” a nation-building infrastructure, but he's sabotaged by enemies manipulating the bolt market and inflating his costs. Desperate to cover the financial gap, he begs his partners, including his resentful brother, for more funding, while also trying to mend his relationship with his nun daughter (Mia Threapleton) who goes along for the ride. Features fun appearances from Michael Cera, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, and Richard Ayoade. And Wes Anderson's opponent, of course, is Paul Thomas Anderson, who delivered the biggest film of his life with his 10th feature, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. Leonardo DiCaprio takes the lead in this Thomas Pynchon inspired action thriller/stoner comedy, playing Bob: a washed-up revolutionary who lives in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited and self-reliant daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti). When his evil nemesis (Sean Penn) resurfaces and Willa goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her as both father and daughter battle the consequences of their pasts. It's the spectacle of the year, and one of PTA's strongest films he's ever made. And for those looking for links, the boy of the year, Benicio del Toro rip roars his way through this film in a show-stealing performances as Sergio St. Carlos. He's had a few beers, and he's ready to save the revolution!Which film do you think Jon and Film will pick to come out on top, as Anderson and Anderson battle it out once again? What was your favourite of the two?Don't miss ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER showing from 70mm at The Prince Charles Cinema from 26th December.

Our Mike Nichols 2000s miniseries continues with one of the director's strangest career anomalies: Charlie Wilson's War. Phil and Emily are joined by critic and writer Sonia Saraiya to unpack how Nichols, Aaron Sorkin, Tom Hanks, and Julia Roberts came together to make a political dramedy that feels breezy on the surface but carries enormous historical weight underneath.The conversation digs into the true story behind the film Charlie Wilson, Joanne Herring, and CIA operative Gust Avrakotos and how their covert efforts armed Afghan fighters during the Soviet Afghan War. Phil breaks down the film's compressed narrative and its reluctance to grapple with the long-term consequences of U.S. involvement, including the geopolitical chain reaction the movie only gestures toward. Sonia and Emily explore Sorkin's ideology, the movie's softened satire, and how the adaptation diverged from the darker, sharper script Nichols originally signed onto.From Philip Seymour Hoffman's electric performance to Nichols' complicated, last-years-of-his-career filmmaking context, the episode traces how the movie became both an accessible studio comedy and a missed opportunity for deeper political reckoning. They also examine the infamous alternate ending, Nichols' battle over the cut, and the creative tug-of-war between Hanks, Sorkin, and the studio.Whether you've revisited Charlie Wilson's War recently or haven't thought about it since 2007, this episode highlights why the film is entertaining, frustrating, and uniquely revealing about the final chapter of Mike Nichols' film career.

Splash (1984), The Shape of Water (2017), Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid (1948). This week, Janet, John, (and Pen) explore three amazing films all swimming in the same subject pool— can you fall in love with a sentient being in the water— better yet, can they fall in love with you? This under the sea romance film craze started with an actor who was the most beloved 1930's & 40's movie detective ever, soon Tom Hanks would pick up the gauntlet 40 years later and be equally inspired to give deep sea loving a go before the gender flip gets switched, in the 2017 multiple-Oscar winning film where love is still as equally fishy and mute as the films before it!  To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!  

Happy Hanksgiving, everyone! Tomas from Almost Plausible once again joins us for another Tom Hanks movie. This time, one of the lowest-grossing movies of his career: A Hologram for the King.

Finding Peace in Overwhelm: A Christian Guide to Anxiety, Burnout, and Trusting God Through Hard Seasons (Faith-Based Encouragement, Holistic Healing, Christian Mental Health) Introduction: What You'll Learn in This Episode If you've been feeling anxious, numb, exhausted, or spiritually drained, this episode is for you. We dive deep into Christian mental health, holistic healing, and what it really looks like to trust God when life feels heavy. You'll learn: Why seasons of overwhelm are normal — and biblical The identity trap many Christian women fall into What Scripture teaches about endurance, grief, and human weakness How Jesus handled anxiety, agony, and the weight of His calling This episode is especially for Christian women who feel overextended, weary, or like they're “not enough” — moms, high achievers, and women navigating transitions, burnout, or identity struggles. Episode Overview In this vulnerable conversation, we explore Scripture, real-life hardship, emotional healing, and how God strengthens us through every season — even when we feel like we're drowning. From James 1 to Ecclesiastes 3 to Jesus sweating drops of blood in Luke 22, this episode gives a deeply honest look at pain, perseverance, and faith. ⏱️ Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 — A Prayer for Thanksgiving Week & A Needed Reset A heartfelt encouragement for the holiday season plus an invitation to reset your energy through a faith-rooted workshop. 00:53 — Why James 1:2–4 Feels So Hard (But Necessary) The tension between hating trials yet wanting the maturity they produce. 01:23 — Generational Strength & Why We Can't Shield Ourselves From Hardship Reflecting on family, resilience, and how God grows us through challenges. 02:22 — Soul Care Class: When God Brings Hidden Things to the Surface A behind-the-scenes look at how spiritual growth often exposes old wounds. 03:20 — Job Loss, Homeschooling, and God's Provision The rollercoaster journey of jobs, layoffs, and trusting God for timing and flexibility. 04:19 — A “Perfect” Job That Turned Into Overwhelm When work-from-home turns into work-all-the-time. 04:43 — Humiliation, Pressure, and Feeling “Not Enough” A moment that exposed deep identity struggles. 05:40 — The False Identity of Performance How tying your worth to productivity quietly destroys your peace. 07:38 — When Scripture and Self-Care Don't Lift You Out of the Funk Honest reflections on depression, anxiety, numbness, and spiritual dryness. 08:36 — The Mask People Wear at Church & Why You're Not Alone The pressure to appear okay when you're not. 09:36 — “Just Keep Showing Up”: Encouragement for Moms and the Weary The small but powerful act of continuing to show up every day. 10:06 — Sleepless in Seattle, Tom Hanks, and the Power of Just Breathing A surprising emotional parallel to grief and perseverance. 11:03 — Ecclesiastes 3: There Is a Season for Everything Why your pain is temporary and purposeful. 12:32 — Jesus in Gethsemane: The Ultimate Example of Agony and Surrender The humanity and anguish of Christ — and why it matters for your suffering. 14:55 — Your Pain is Seen, Your Season Will Not Last Forever Final encouragement: Jesus understands your pain, and this will pass. Key Takeaways 1. Hard seasons are part of spiritual growth. God uses trials to strengthen us, deepen endurance, and strip away false identities. 2. Your worth is not tied to productivity or performance. Christian women often carry silent pressure to “hold everything together,” but Scripture gives you permission to rest and be human. 3. Emotional burnout is not a sign of failure. Feeling numb, anxious, or overwhelmed isn't a spiritual weakness — it's a sign you're carrying too much alone. 4. Even Jesus felt agony so intense He sweat “like drops of blood.” Your emotional and physical symptoms of stress are not a shock to Him. He understands the full weight of human suffering. 5. Seasons of pain don't last forever. Ecclesiastes reminds us that life moves in God-ordained rhythms. Your current season is temporary. 6. Just keep showing up. One breath at a time. One day at a time. Faithfulness is less about perfection and more about returning to Jesus again and again. Scriptures Mentioned James 1:2–4 — steadfastness through trials Ecclesiastes 3 — seasons of life Luke 22:39–44 — Jesus in Gethsemane, sweating like drops of blood Call to Action: Reset Your Energy With God at the Center If you're feeling depleted, overwhelmed, or spiritually dry, now is the time to reset with Jesus — not January 1st. ✨ Grab the “Reset Your Energy” Workshop A gentle, faith-rooted, 50-minute experience to help you breathe again, calm your nervous system, refresh your spirit, and restore peace.

The new apostle for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has taken his seat at the table. Gerald Caussé spent his life in corporate business before his call to the Presiding Bishopric in 2012. In 2015 he ascended to Presiding Bishop and has been the money manager of the church since then. During his tenure, numerous scandals have hit the church related to finances, including a fine from the SEC for falsifying business records to conceal wealth. In the wake of these numerous scandals, Gerald takes his position on the board of the wealthiest religion on the planet. Let's discuss! After that we chat about Catch Me If You Can, a movie about a con man starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks that does a great job of concealing the truth. Then we have happy news about pain management medications and promising research in that field.   Show Notes:  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2012-07-18/how-the-mormons-make-money?embedded-checkout=true https://religionnews.com/2025/11/07/im-cautiously-optimistic-about-the-new-lds-apostle/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHqt-k5lbrQhddAne7du47HHB6Gfpstoh_gnkML4Mjyb2cciCqUeR9lh0geUR_aem_j1UGWxzM9qQmQJTCjHRRfg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A9rald_Causs%C3%A9 https://www.deseret.com/faith/2020/2/14/21133740/mormon-church-finances-billions-presiding-bishopric-ensign-peak-tithing-donations-byu-real-estate/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_E._Stevenson https://archive.ph/20130102082820/http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,695267801,00.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXbPxIHkijg https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/learn/gerald-j-causse?lang=eng https://speeches.byu.edu/speakers/gerald-causse/ https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/4636873Z:FP?embedded-checkout=true https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2024/08/16/lds-churchs-ensign-peak-reports/ https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/feds-fine-mormon-church-5-million https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2023-35 https://ldsflow.com/the-lds-church-a-year-of-global-service-and-impact-w-infographic/ https://doctorow.medium.com/the-mormon-church-owns-the-most-valuable-property-portfolio-in-america-ff590d405dd6 https://www.livescience.com/18094-perceptions-mormonism-americans-infographic.html https://exploringmormonism.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Corporate-structure-image-400.jpg https://www.reddit.com/r/mormon/comments/8nwznm/breakdown_of_the_humanitarian_aid_vs_church/ https://mormonfamily.net/2666/mormons-in-america https://mormonwiki.com/Farms_Owned_By_The_Mormon_Church https://mormonwiki.com/Farmland_Reserve https://github.com/jsoma/data-studio-projects/issues/287 https://mormonbillions.com/ https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/feature/templesquare/dining?lang=eng https://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=54478720&itype=cmsid https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/first-presidency-statement-church-finances https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/learn/church-donations-and-reserves?lang=eng https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/church-finances-and-a-growing-global-church https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/church-financial-independence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World%27s_Billionaires https://www.brookings.edu/articles/mitt-romneys-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-campaign/ https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/church/leader/keith-b-mcmullin?lang=eng https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/church/leader/keith-b-mcmullin?lang=eng https://www.polynesia.com/packages?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19311784&gbraid=0AAAAAD_ZKoaNHFjLk9c46VTzwjPJppfQq&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoZDJBhC0ARIsAERP-F_GnjI9U3f9gVGjpeQI6kspteXwPXuh-5JdDFi3aiUVpxghq9HZMZgaAnBREALw_wcB https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/8n8dd3/mormonleaks_has_uncovered_13_llcs_limited/   MOGP: Catch Me If You Can: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264464/?ref_=ttpl_ov_bk  Where it's streaming: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/catch-me-if-you-can  Books:  The Greatest Hoax on Earth – Catching Truth, While We Can, by Alan C Logan  Catch Me If You Can: The True Story of a Real Fake, by Frank W.

In 2002, Steven Spielberg and Leonardo DiCaprio teamed up for a cat-and-mouse drama with surprising emotional heft. In 2025, Bob and Brad unwrap a Hanksgiving gift of their own: a revisit of Catch Me If You Can paired with the classic blended Scotch, Johnnie Walker Black Label.(0:00) Intro (08:20) Brad Explains (13:15) Performances, Themes (30:28) Johnnie Walker Black Label review (39:55) Two Facts and a Falsehood and Final Analysis (1:08:19) Let's Make it a Double and Final Scores--Bob and Brad return with another Hanksgiving installment, revisiting Steven Spielberg's 2002 biographical caper Catch Me If You Can as part of their Season 10 re-review series. Bob recalls loving the film back in Season 1 but hasn't revisited it in years, while Brad brings fresh eyes (and big feelings) to Spielberg's blend of charm, melancholy, and father-wound storytelling. Together they unpack how the film plays differently after The Fabelmans, why Leonardo DiCaprio's performance might be one of his best, and how Tom Hanks turns a supporting role into one of the most quietly emotional characters of his career.Then, the guys crack open Johnnie Walker Black Label, the iconic 12-year blended Scotch whisky.

What if great friendships aren't found by luck but built through effort?Bestselling novelist Fredrik Backman, the mind behind A Man Called Ove (adapted into the Tom Hanks film A Man Called Otto), Anxious People, and the beloved Beartown series, has spent his career writing about the quiet power of ordinary people.

In this updated and revised edition, James DiEugenio dissects the new Oscar-nominated film, The Post, and how it disingenuously represents the Pentagon Papers saga, to the detriment of the true heroes of the operation. The story of the film stems from the failed attempt of Academy Award–winning actor Tom Hanks and producer Gary Goetzman to make Vincent Bugliosi's mammoth book about the Kennedy assassination, Reclaiming History, into a miniseries. He exposes the questionable origins of Reclaiming History in a dubious mock trial for cable television, in which Bugliosi played the role of an attorney prosecuting Lee Harvey Oswald for murder, and how this formed the basis for the epic tome.JFK: The Evidence Today lists the myriad problems with Bugliosi's book and explores the cooperation of the mainstream press in concealing many facts during the publicity campaign for the book and how this lack of scrutiny led Hanks and Goetzman—cofounders of the production company Playtone—to purchase the film rights. DiEugenio then shows how the failed film adapted from that book, entitled Parkland, does not resemble Bugliosi's book and examines why.This book reveals the connections between Washington and Hollywood, as well as the CIA influence in the film community today. It includes an extended look at the little-known aspects of the lives and careers of Bugliosi, Hanks, and Goetzman. JFK: The Evidence Today sheds light on the Kennedy assassination, New Hollywood, and political influence on media in America.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Ken Burns says the American Revolution is "the most important event in world history since the birth of Christ." That's a bold claim—especially in a moment when the word "patriot" has become a weapon and the experiment that revolution launched feels more fragile than ever. In this conversation, Russell Moore sits down with the legendary documentarian to explore what eight years of wrestling with the founders can teach us about our fractured present. How do you love a country—or a church—while being honest about its deep hypocrisies? Can you hold together progress and permanence, hope and clear-eyed realism? And what does faithfulness look like when certainty has replaced faith? Burns's new series, The American Revolution (premiering November 16 on PBS), attempts something audacious: telling a visual story from an era with no photographs, bringing to life the contradiction-filled men who proclaimed "all men are created equal" while many of them held other human beings in bondage. Using voices including Tom Hanks, Liev Schreiber, and Claire Danes, Burns creates a narrative that refuses both myth-making and cynicism. Burns discusses with RDM why labels such as “Heritage American” and “Christian America” fail and what the founders actually believed about divine providence (hint: it wasn't what you think). Along the way: Schoolhouse Rock nostalgia, baseball metaphors, and what it means to be a patriot when the word itself has been hijacked.
