Welcome back ragers to the best movie review podcast on the planet. The rage rolls on from the Film Rage Studio. This week the Film Rage Crew review a trio of films. First up the film that Jim has been giddy with anticipation and Bryce has been dreading, Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning. Then another Disney's, we have no original ideas so lets turn one of our animated properties into a live action film, Lilo and Stitch. And then finally a film about friendship called Friendship. Then in Rage or Dare Jim and Bryce were forced to watch The Day the Earth Stood Still.  Not the excellent original from 1951 but the 2008 Keanu Reeves version. Good luck with that boys!

The Martians are coming! Don't trust anyone! So it goes when a young boy descends into a nightmare of tentacled alien heads, mind-controlled parents, and Martians in green pajamas. And it's all shot in surreal, colorful imagery. Grab your telescopes, get in your tank, and cover your necks - we're digging into this seminal, yet underseen, sci-fi film that influenced the likes of Spielberg, Scorsese, Dante, Cameron, and more. Then, if that wasn't enough, Peter Lorre trims his lilacs on the Poverty Row Picture Show covering the John Carradine classic, Bluebeard (1944). What a time to be alive!

Easter falls on 4/20 this year so we've got HIPPY JESUS and SPACE JESUS with JESUS CHRIST SUPER STAR (1973) and THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (1951). We've got Hippy Jesus screaming in the desert and Space Jesus getting shot at by jittery soldiers in Cold War Washington D.C. All this plus Carl Anderson delivering the performance of a lifetime as Judas Iscariot and GORT, the giant silver robot, melting tanks and cannons. This episode has Philena singing "I Don't Know How to Love Him" and Bob saying "Gort Klaatu Barada Nikto" to make her stop. What's the Buzz? We are buzzed. Before we get into the High Holiday weed pairings, Bob reviews FREAKY TALES, a movie that's hopefully still playing somewhere, because you should get really high and see it. Cory fills us in on his big move to Arkansas where he has found a wonderland of storied fast food chains that we do not have in California, Philena fills us in on the new build your own icecream sandwich joint in the Valley, and Bob recounts playing for a dive bar filled with Nazi skinheads with the Disneyland fireworks going off in the distance.

This week, we're talking about choosing peace… except I'm not sure that's possible with the amount of nonsense happening right now. First up, Beyoncé is out here lying to us for absolutely no reason—like, girl, just say you didn't want to tell the truth and keep it moving... WHERE ARE THE VISUALS?!? Drake trying to square up with Universal Music Group like it's the final boss battle of his career and Kendrick Lamar is somehow involved, but honestly? I couldn't care less about the courtroom drama.On to more pressing matters: my completely valid (and not at all unhinged) conspiracy theory that the world is ending. Trust me, the signs are all there. And speaking of things that make sense when you really think about it—Carrie Underwood performing at the inauguration, which, considering where she's from, doesn't exactly scream "shocking." You just nod and move on, you know?We need to get serious for a second because the details of the Na'Ziyah Harris case are beyond shocking. It's 2025, and yet here we are, still dealing with unthinkable horrors involving kids and predators who seem to be multiplying by the day. It's disgusting, infuriating, and a harsh reminder that protecting our children has never been more important. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I'm thinking about ecclesiology today. Rarely do. But a combination of J.B. Priestley's "low anthropology", a couple of recent lightning bolts from outside space and (present) time, and a fresh glimpse of the touching statue of "The Compassionate Christ" outside Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham: Well, they got me thinking of what the Christian Church is centrally and anchoredly about. Add to that the third verse of Lou Christie's number-one song from 1966, "Lightnin' Strikes"; and it's probably all there. One's ecclesiology, I mean. "Dangerous Corner" by J.B. Priestley, which was first performed in London in 1932, unmasks the human tragedy of self-serving, manipulation, and deception in about as unrelieved a manner as could be imagined. The last scene but one, which leads directly to a character's suicide, surely rips the curtain off our world's endemic conspiratorial malice. It is almost a pure enactment of the "low anthropology" that is endemic to us. But the playwright offers us no hope. He actually, explicitly dismisses the antidote of faith in God. I so want to enter that scene myself, speaking sincerely and personally, and address the desperate "hero". He's got it mostly right, you see; his diagnosis is accurate. But we believe in God -- and not a "deistic"/hands-off sort of force, but rather: Pure Empathy, Pure Sympathy, Pure Mercy, Pure Grace. Our ecclesiology, therefore, is the Church, in whatever form, as Embodiment of One-Way Love. That's PZ's ecclesiology. That's Lou Christie's "chapel in the pines" (1966). That's the churches of refuge at the end of War of the Worlds (1953), that's 'Mr. Carpenter' in Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), that's the Isaiah 2, verse 4 climax of The Colossus of New York (1958), that's the hymn chorale at the end of The Space Children (1958), that's the Christ-figure at the conclusion of The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957). And so it goes. When the curtain is ripped away on life as it really is and people as they really are, all that's needed is One Helping Hand, One "Next Voice You Hear" (1951), One... Man from Galilee (Ocean, 1971/Elvis, 1972), One Jesus Christ Superstar. LUV U.

Description: After the classic film The Day the Earth Stood Still we move forward to 1953 and yet another Alien invasion. This time the aliens are definitely not looking to be friends. The War of the Worlds was written by HG Wells and published in 1897 in Pearson's magazine. There have been many adaptations of the text including the famous radio play from Orson Welles in 1938 and the film adaptation by Steven Spielberg in 2005. I mention the drawings of the Martian tripod machines early in the episode. You can take a look at these wonderful images on this Instagram post.

Book Vs. Movie: The Day the Earth Stood StillThe 1940 Short Story Vs. the 1951 AdaptationThe Day the Earth Stood Still is a classic sci-fi story. The iconic 1951 film was based on Harry Bates' short story "Farewell to the Master." Both versions share a similar premise—an alien visitor and his robot arrive on Earth, but they diverge significantly in tone and message. In Bates' 1940 story, Klaatu and his robot Gnut arrive on Earth, but Klaatu is quickly killed. The focus then shifts to Gnut, who, in a twist ending, is revealed to be the true master, not Klaatu. This philosophical narrative explores the limits of human perception, the ambiguity of power, and intelligence beyond human understanding. The film adapts the story into a Cold War parable. Klaatu, more of a Christ-like figure, comes with a warning: Earth must abandon violence and nuclear weapons or face destruction by an interplanetary alliance. His robot, Gort, serves as an enforcer of this message, not the master. The film delivers a clear moral about peace and diplomacy, reflecting the political fears of its time. Which version did we (the Margos) prefer? Have a listen to find out. In this ep, the Margos discuss:The settings for both storiesThe differences between the original short story and the 1951 adaptation. The Movie Cast: Michael Rennie (Klaatu,) Patricia Neal (Helen Benson,) Hugh Marlowe (Tom Stevens,) Sam Jaffe (Professor Barnhardt,) Billy Gray (Bobby Benson,) Frances Bavier (Mrs. Barley) and Lock Martin as Gort. Clips used:“Klaatu's speech” The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 trailer)“Gort arrives on Earth”“Kalatu Barada Nikto”Bernard Herrmann's soundtrack for The Day the Earth Stood Still Book Vs.

How Close Are We To Answers About Aliens?

The idea of creatures from another planet is part of our culture, from the warnings of the alien in “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” to the plaintive desire to return home in “E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” to the hulking creature of “Nope.” Aliens appear in movies, books, comics, you name it. But are they more than science fiction? And if they were, how would scientists prove it?The government has investigated reports of alien sightings, including in Project Blue Book, which ran from 1947 to 1969. And last summer, congressional hearings into Navy pilots' sightings of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) brought the search for intelligent life back into the public eye. But there's more to the search for alien life than people spotting lights in the sky. Projects such as Breakthrough Listen are surveying the stars for signals. Advanced telescopes such as JWST are enabling us to collect data on the atmospheres of exoplanets, a first step in detecting biosignatures on distant worlds. And astrobiology projects such as the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission are looking for signs of ancient life elsewhere in our own solar system.Dr. Adam Frank, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Rochester and author of The Little Book of Aliens, joins hosts Ira Flatow and Kathleen Davis to talk about the evidence for life elsewhere in the universe, and how scientists might go about trying to answer the question of whether we're alone.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
