From director Bruno VeSota comes THE BRAIN EATERS (1958) starring Ed Nelson, Alan Factor, Cornelius Keefe and introducing Leonard Nimoy! Does this B-movie adapt a Robert Heinlein novel, or was the plagiarism charge unfounded? Will the bad sound quality impact the low-budget film's ranking? Context setting 00:00; Synopsis 17:50; Discussion 27:11; Ranking 45:47

It might be a cheap B-movie, but NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST (1958) proves to be historically notable for a few reasons -- one of which being a horror only executive produced by Roger Corman, produced by his brother Gene, and ultimately directed by Bernard Kowalski! Written by Martin Varno, NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST stars John Baer, Angela Greene, Ed Nelson, Georgianna Carter, Michael Emmet, Tyler McVey and Ross Sturlin.

In this week's episode, Dr. Pettit speaks with Emilee Nelson about her grandfather, Ed Nelson, and his recently published biography. Below is the description of this wonderful book that Emilee co-authored with her grandfather: "A Sinner Saved By Grace is not your typical autobiography, especially about a preacher. In a most unexpected way, you will find yourself wanting to read “just one more chapter” as you are led page by page through the exciting life of Ed Nelson. You will laugh as you read of some embarrassing moments and family stories. You will cry as you feel his heartbreak through some of the most difficult situations in his life. You will be challenged to have faith that God can and does work the miraculous. You will see determination, leadership, strength, and humility. You will see foolish mistakes, sinful actions, hurt, and regret. But you will be encouraged to simply believe God, not because of who Ed Nelson is, but because of the God he serves. Ed Nelson is simply a sinner, saved by the grace of God." – Emilee Nelson

Ed waits no time getting personal and deep into his life. Ed talked about losing his sister in the 5th grade and how that shaped his decisions moving forward in life such as being there for his mother and wanting better for himself. We even talk about how growing up in the Bronx shaped his mindset and his way of thinking. What lead him into transferring to Monsignor Scanlan Highschool (my alma mater) in his 10th grade year and how he established himself with the upperclassmen boys and girls as “Ed - Lover”. • • We get into how he knew school wasn't for him and how him getting cheated on led him into creating the first step team in school history called the “PLAYERS”. What was once a way to get girls into liking him, turned into a movement with him in charge of 30 girls and guys. The PLAYERS found instant success within Scanlan and the neighboring community, winning countless talent shows and even receiving opportunities to perform at the legendary Apollo Theater and former president Bill Clinton. • • Ed started to see how the PLAYERS was his calling in life. Being mentored by individuals in the music industry allowed Ed to learn what he wasn't learning in school, business ethics, contracts, and managerial duties. Him gaining that language only gave him a glimpse of his future success. The PLAYERS was a well known brand in the early 2000's winning national championships, appearing at America's Got Talent, and even the NBA All-Star game in 2001. Him and his team even toured alongside the likes of Alicia Keys, Usher, and Beyonce! • • Ed talks about his transitional period from the PLAYERS to making beats and finding a passion for music and how he was successful in that, winning countless beat battle competitions within New York. I get to relive highschool for a bit, because this is how I actually met Ed in 2011. He decided to come back where it all started, home. He talked with the principle and reestablished the PLAYERS through his Spartan and QU step teams. He gets into how he was more than just a step coach. He was and is a mentor, big brother, motivator, advocate, and most importantly a friend. • • To round out the conversation, we get into how he started weight lifting and how rapper 50 Cent indirectly inspired him to keep going. We jump into the conversation of fatherhood and how being a father has been the most fulfilling and important thing to him. • • Thank you Ed for your time, without you knowing it you have inspired me to be more transparent and allow people to always get the real me. You have saved countless lives through the art of step and your work does not go unnoticed! I hope just like you do in everyday life, this podcast inspires, motivates, or even saves a life! Love you brother! • • Follow Ed here: Instagram: @KingLeo29

This week’s episode is all about the bulkiest snake beast of them all – the ANACONDA. First we look into what neonate anacondas get up to. Then move onto a paper that investigates the human-anaconda conflict across South America (spoiler: people don’t like monster snakes). In lieu of a newly discovered anaconda we discuss a snake with a strange tail in Species of Bi-week.

Crocodylians have been around for a while and they know what they’re doing. In this episode we discuss what they do when they’re ticked off, and how the massive, fascinating, and largely unknown Tomistoma is getting on in SE Asia. As always, we end on a new species, and this time it’s a fractious new species of something crocodile-like. FULL REFERENCE LIST AVAILABLE AT: herphighlights.podbean.com Main Paper References: Brien, Matthew L., Jeffrey W.

Vipers are found in numerous corners of the globe, and in this episode we explore a little about how they’ve managed it. Starting with pit viper’s use of their heat sensing abilities, moving on to viper reactions to climatic shifts, and finishing up with how they are doing now. Naturally our Species of the Bi-week is a new viper, this time from Africa. FULL REFERENCE LIST AVAILABLE AT: herphighlights.podbean.com Main Paper References: Martínez-Freiría, F, P.-A. Crochet, S.
