PAM PAM PAM PAM, PAM PAM PAM PAM!!! Reflix está de volta para analisar uma das estreias mais comentadas do ano. Em seu episódio 174, Brunão e Baconzitos debatem os dois primeiros capítulos de Cabo do Medo, nova adaptação do romance The Executioners, que já havia dado origem aos filmes clássicos de 1962 e 1991. A série da Apple TV+ atualiza a história para os dias atuais e coloca Amy Adams no centro da trama como Anna Bowden, advogada que ajudou a condenar Max Cady, personagem interpretado por Javier Bardem. Após passar 17 anos preso, Cady é libertado e inicia uma campanha de perseguição e terror psicológico contra a família Bowden. No programa, discutimos as mudanças em relação às versões anteriores, a construção do suspense, a atuação de Javier Bardem, os temas de culpa e justiça que permeiam a narrativa e os elementos modernos incorporados à história. Também avaliamos se a expansão para uma série de dez episódios fortalece ou enfraquece a premissa clássica. Será que Cabo do Medo tem potencial para se tornar mais um sucesso da Apple TV+? Ou estamos diante de uma releitura desnecessária de um clássico absoluto? Aperte o play e descubra.

wonder, does the spider know the insect net it creates by first laying down the Y frame, followed closely by radial spokes, all connected via the sticky spirals, giving it the classic shape depicted in Charlotte's Web, doubles as its own prison? That madame spider is at once guard, inmate, and executioner? That she is simultaneously a bull and fish, patiently awaiting the arrival of fresh fish to ensnare before exsanguination? Not only is Spider a prisoner of the web, but she is a slave to the silken net raised each night then razed each morning...

June -3-26th Cleveland OH The Mekons at The Music Box Supper Club Tickets here mekons-june3 About Jon: Jon Langford born October 11, 1957, Newport, Monmouthshire is a Welsh-born musician and artist who is presently based in Chicago. He is the younger brother of science-fiction author and critic David Langford Langford was originally the drummer for the punk band The Mekons when it formed at the University of Leeds in 1977, but he later took up the guitar as other band members left. Since the mid-1980s he has been one of the leaders in incorporating folk and country music into punk rock. He has released a number of solo recordings as well as recordings with other bands outside of The Mekons, most notably the Waco Brothers, which he co-founded after moving to Chicago in the early 1990s. He is involved with the Chicago-based >independent record label >Bloodshot. Langford is also a prolific and respected visual artist best known for his striking portraits of country music icons including Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley. His multimedia music/spoken-word/video performance, “The Executioner's Last Songs,” premiered at Alverno College in 2005, and has been performed in several other cities. He illustrated the comic strip Great Pop Things under the pseudonym Chuck Death. Since 2005 he has co-hosted a weekly radio program, “The Eclectic Company,” broadcast on WXRT 93.1 FM in Chicago. He has contributed to This American Life. Among Langford's musical side projects have been the Three Johns (with John Hyatt and John (Phillip) Brennan), who released several albums of drum-machine-fueled punk in the 1980s; the country-punk Waco Brothers (with Dean Schlabowske, Tracey Dear, Alan Doughty, Mark Durante, and Mekons drummer Steve Goulding), who have been recording since 1995; the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, a revolving assortment of Chicago musicians who have backed both Langford and other musicians such as Kelly Hogan; and Ship and Pilot. He became a father figure to the local music scene, encouraging many of his labelmates on Bloodshot Records and championing anyone he thought worthy of scrutiny, often lending his services as a musician or visual artist or inviting local musicians to guest on his releases. Langford's first official solo album, Skull Orchard, a look back at his hometown of Newport, Wales, was released in 1998. He followed it with All the Fame of Lofty Deeds, in 2004, Gold Brick in 2006, and Old Devils in 2010. Langford is an accomplished artist and is renowned for his multi-layered paintings of famous and forgotten figures from the dawn of country music. Nashville Radio, a collection of his artwork and writings, was published in 2006. In January and February 2009, Chicago's Walkabout Theater Company and Collaboraction premiered a stage adaptation of Langford's Goldbrick that featured a live band, two actors and video projections. In November and December 2009, The House Theatre of Chicago staged a production of “All the Fame of Lofty Deeds”, written by rock journalist Mark Guarino and based on Langford's art and 2004 solo album. Collaborations with other musicians Langford initiated a project, the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, which performs the music of other country music groups. Several alternative country musicians have guested on these recordings. Langford has guested on numerous recordings, including with Dutch punk band the Ex, The Old 97s, Chip Taylor, as well as Austin, Texas legend Alejandro Escovedo, and has recorded joint albums with Sally Timms, Kevin Coyne, Richard Buckner, Kat Ex and Rosie Flores.

This week we head back into the Marvel Versus Marvel Archive to explore the history of The Punisher, and how he went from a one-off Spider-Man villain to becoming one of Marvel's BIGGEST stars! We'll dive into all the different influences that came together to create The Punisher - from The Godfather, to Death Wish, to Don Pendleton's “The Executioner”! We'll take you through his first-ever appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man, his history with Daredevil, and how the army-of-one action movies of the 1980's led to a HUGE surge in popularity for Frank Castle, resulting in The Punisher having THREE monthly comic books at the same time!

We are ranking every foe the God of Thunder has faced, from legendary icons to the most obscure deep cuts in Marvel Comics history.In this episode, Ryan and Eric start strong with some of the biggest names in the Marvel Universe, including the fire demon Surtur, the goddess of death Hela, and the treacherous Amora the Enchantress. We also debate the power levels of The Absorbing Man, the longstanding importance of The Skurge the Executioner, and the frost-bitten legacy of Laufey and the Frost Giants.Whether they are "Marvel-wide threats" or forgotten silver-age foes, we analyze their significance, power levels, and why some villains—like Crusher Creel—remain a legitimate threat to Thor after all these years.Check out PATREON: https://patreon.com/u65477484?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkCheck out INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/marvelthorpodcast?igsh=Nm15MjQ2dW10cXZ3&utm_source=qrCheck out DISCORD:https://discord.gg/DsKTVAmwuY
Combien de temps on reste en vie après la guillotine ? Alors ça, je l'ai déjà dit dans un autre épisode, mais franchement je pensais pas autant déclencher les passions ! Ça me donne des envies de vidéos “spéciales morts gores”, mais en attendant, on va déjà voir une peine de mort particulièrement célèbre et polémique : la chaise électrique ! Pourquoi la chaise ? Parce qu'à une époque, ce mode d'exécution avait un peu le même argument que la guillotine : le but, ce serait de procurer un vrai “meurtre civique civilisé”, une mort indolore, quasi instantanée, vraiment la mort cool, la mort sympa… On fait le point !Bonne écoute !
Note: This episode was recorded before the death of Gerry Conway, who wrote two of the stories we talk about. The Punisher is gearing up for a busy summer on the big and small screens (with Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Punisher: One Last Kill, respectively). So what better time to dive into some key early stories charting the evolution of everyone's favorite gun-toting vigilante? We start with a look at the Punisher's pop-culture inspirations, including the Executioner and Dirty Harry, before discussing his first appearance in 1974's Amazing Spider-Man #129, where he joins forces with (wait, this can't be right, can it?) the Jackal to take down your friendly neighborhood wall-crawler! Then it's on to Marvel Preview #2 from that same year, in which we learn the tragic backstory behind his one-man war on crime! Finally, we jump ahead a few years to Daredevil #183-184 and a gritty, street-level take on the character that's closer to the version we're all familiar with. Is our (anti)hero just a poor judge of character? What type of story suits him best? And can our surly sentinel of the streets survive a frontal assault from that Whack Attack known as … The Comics Canon? In This Episode: What happened to Curt on our April 1 episode?

HOLY SH*T?! Join the soft drink REVOLUTION!
Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Did you know that yesterday EASTER was the exact anniversary of our Lord and Saviors death. Exactly 1,993 years ago on that exact day Christ rose from the grave. Walking through the cemetery as a kid at night… We fear death.. Not birth Not life But death… we can't relate. I could claim to be born as a God I could claim to live as a God I could claim to die as a God But am I willing to CLAIM to resurrect 3 days later to prove it… But because he did resurrect we now no longer need to fear death. He conquered it, he made a fool of it, he said where is your sting oh death. Thats all you got? And why wait 3 days until you come back to life? 1. Ancient Medical Understanding: When is someone truly dead? In the ancient world (including Jewish and Greco-Roman thought), people didn't have modern tools to confirm death (no EEG, no heart monitors). So they relied on observable signs: What they looked for: * No breathing * No pulse (very hard to detect accurately) * Body cooling * **Onset of decomposition** The key issue: People could appear dead and revive (coma, shock, hypothermia) So there was always a lingering fear: “What if they weren't really dead?” 2. Why “Three Days” Became a Cultural Threshold** In Jewish thought, there was a widespread belief (not formal doctrine, but common teaching) that: The soul hovered near the body for about 3 days** After that: * The body began to visibly decay * The soul was considered fully departed * Death was **final and irreversible** You see this hinted at in the story of Lazarus: “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.” (John 11:39) That's not just a detail—it's a theological statement: “This is beyond recovery. This is real death.” 3. Modern Medical Insight: Decomposition Timeline Even today, decomposition supports why 3 days is significant: Within ~72 hours after death: Rigor mortis comes and goes Autolysis** (cells breaking down) accelerates Putrefaction begins (bacteria causing decay) Odor becomes noticeable By day 3, the body is unmistakably dead. So even by modern standards: Three days removes doubt. 4. The Power of the Resurrection Timing Jesus didn't rise immediately. That's critical. If He rose: * After a few hours → skeptics say “He fainted” * After one day → “Maybe He wasn't fully dead” But after three days: It destroys every natural explanation. This is why the resurrection isn't just miraculous—it's strategically undeniable. 5. Biblical Pattern: “Third Day” = Divine Intervention The “third day” shows up all over Scripture as the moment God acts decisively: * Hosea 6:2 — “On the third day He will raise us up” * Jonah 1:17 — Jonah in the fish 3 days * Genesis 22 — Abraham receives Isaac back (figuratively) on the third day The pattern: Day 1 = loss Day 2 = silence Day 3 = God moves Jesus steps into that pattern and fulfills it. 6. Roman Execution Certainty From a historical standpoint: * Roman crucifixion was brutally efficient * Executioners ensured death (piercing, blood loss, asphyxiation) * Bodies weren't casually misdiagnosed So combine: * Roman certainty of death * 3 days in the tomb * Sealed grave The resurrection claim becomes *maximally bold*. Bottom Line (Teaching Power Statement) Three days wasn't random. It was intentional. It ensured that: * No one could argue Jesus merely fainted * Death had fully taken its course * Resurrection could only be explained as supernatural “Jesus didn't come back early—He waited until death had fully won… and then He crushed it.”

There is so much and more to say about "I, the Executioner." The 2024 sequel to the film Veteran (2015) sees the return of Detective Seo Docheol and his team as they hunt down a vigilante causing a social media frenzy.
Step into Episode 200 of ‘On The Delo' as Delo celebrates a major milestone by sitting down with fellow "Delo" Dave Delos, a 30-year bar industry veteran, owner of six neighborhood dive bars, and president of the Arizona Licensed Beverage Association (ALBA). From growing up in Poughkeepsie, New York, and building homes with his hands to buying his first bar from his father-in-law Tony Marino in 1996, Dave shares the full arc of how hard work, family, and a willingness to "figure it out" built a six-location dive bar empire across the West Valley.The conversation goes deep on what it really means to run a family business in hospitality, how Dave and his wife Lori built their operation together (she's known as "the executioner" for a reason), and how their son and daughter have now stepped into daily operations and HR to carry the legacy forward. Dave also opens up about life at 60, losing his father last year, taking his 86-year-old mom wine tasting, and why golf, travel, cooking, and wine at night keep him grounded. You'll hear one of the wildest bar stories ever told involving a live World War II hand grenade thrown into one of his bars, plus Dave's journey from ALBA board member to seven-year president, why a $200,000 Series 6 license needs protecting, and where he stands on mandatory Title 4 training and personal responsibility. Stay for rapid fire on Sunday day drinkers, Michelob Ultra, napkin deals, White Castle, and why dive bars are the fabric of America.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 2:53) Episode 200 Celebration, "On The Delos," and Why Delo Matters to the Industry(2:54 - 6:38) Growing Up in New York, the Mazda B2000 Road Trip, and Meeting His Wife at Gentleman's Choice(6:39 - 9:54) Moving to Arizona, Buying a Bar from Tony Marino, and Building Six Locations with His Hands(9:54 - 12:38) His Wife "The Executioner," Partnership, and What a Good Woman Does for Your Life and Business(12:39 - 15:18) Passing the Business to His Kids, College First, and Letting Go After 30 Years of Decisions(15:18 - 17:55) Life at 60: Golf, Travel, Wine at Night, and Taking His 86-Year-Old Mom Wine Tasting(17:56 - 20:52) The Live Hand Grenade Story: The Wildest Thing That's Ever Happened in One of His Bars(20:52 - 25:06) Getting Into ALBA, Industry Titans, Bill Weigel, and Why It's "My Time, My Turn"(25:06 - 29:02) What ALBA Does: Lobbying, Licensing, Protecting the $200K Series 6, and Don Isaacson at the Capitol(29:02 - 33:19) Title 4 Training, Mandatory vs. Voluntary, Personal Responsibility, and Masking Intoxication(33:19 - 35:42) ALBA Membership Benefits, $300/Year, Insurance Discounts, and a Welcome to New Members(35:42 - 42:03) Rapid Fire: Sunday Drinkers, Dive Bars, Michelob Ultra, Napkin Deals, White Castle, and Delo's Close

Show Notes 0:00: Justin and Helen return from hibernation (and attempting to stay warm in the East coast) to resume recording episodes of It’s Not My Fault TheOASG Podcast is Not Popular, and with the break, means catching up to things from even late December to January. The hosts start with once again a scanlation site shutting down, and what this ultimately means considering who was involved (and maybe not Kakao, which gets both hosts explaining how manhwa copyrights are…crazy) News 12:36: MediaOCD will be distributing Discotek Media’s catalog (as much as they can), and based on information online this project seems to have been sped up following a number of home media titles being delisted on Crunchyroll. This gets both hosts speculating on what this means, and why it sometimes now gets harder and harder to support official publishers. 18:59: Netflix continues making some deals as they’ve worked out a partnership with MAPPA and will be working with TOHO (and their new studio) to produce a bunch of works in a couple years 21:35: We got some hiatuses and returns to cover, starting with The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses manga being continued; after just not having any new chapters since 2022, The Girl, the Shovel, and the Evil Eye manga will return and also finish in a couple chapters; Kemono Jihen is taking a one-issue break due to Sho Aimoto suffering from gastroenteritis to start 2026; Phantom Busters will be on break as something’s going on with Neoshoco, the hosts hope they’re ok; The hosts break down what the heck’s going on with The New Prince of Tennis series as it went through some major editor mismanagement, enough to wear there could not be a new chapter in Jump SQ; The Days of Diamond will go on hiatus, no announcement on its return; Bocchi the Rock! was intended to return this month, but Aki Hamaji’s health has not improved enough to return to serialization, so the hiatus will continue; and in final manga hiatuses, Hajime no Ippo’s taking a break, no announcement on when it’ll return. 25:38: Makes sense that Go Nagai will be inducted into this year’s Eisner’s Hall of Fame, took them long enough; Manga creator Hisashi Eguchi apologized in December after tracing allegations were made back in October that had a number of companies suspend working with him; Chitose in the Ramune Bottle’s got some work to do following its delay due to production issues; And apparently A Tale of the Secret Saint needs more work as it’s been pushed from Spring to Fall season; What in the world is going with the Madoka movie? Well no one knows except that’s now been delayed from its release this month to an unannounced date; and the voice of Hitomi Koshigaya, Yumiri Hanamori, stepped down from the role for an undisclosed reason. So for the upcoming Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. anime, there will need to be a new voice for her. 30:53: Talent agency Aoni Production announced that voice actor Kōzō Shioya had died on January 20 due to cerebral hemorrhage — a number of people noted his impact on them and sent their condolences on social media on this difficult loss.

Absolutely nothing apparently since HIDIVE is still streaming it; Justin gets to talk about his excitement about the Umamusume Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era being in theaters at the end of the month; And Helen wonders why ALDNOAH.ZERO is back as Crunchyroll has added the English dub — which includes a new episode that aired in Japan last year — to their service. 46:10: A few anime will be on Netflix this year: Kyoto Animation’s Sparks of Tomorrow (in the summer) and Studio KAI’s Ramparts of Ice (in Spring); 47:05: So there were two anime that aired in Japan last year — April Showers Bring May Flowers and Monster Strike: Deadverse Reloaded — that was not picked up by an official service…until now!

So far not at Tai Chi Chasers level, but… 59:32: Rumiko Takahashi made a trip to San Francisco some time ago (which can probably mean VIZ and her are cooking something) and visited a museum — somehow Bible Black is brought up in this part (Why Helen, just why); Justin wonders if Sazae-san is gearing up to be released overseas moving forward now that it’ll see its first overseas release in Taiwan; Otakon announced on Bluesky on Thursday the event is no longer allowing the sale of fan art in its dealers room beginning with the 2026 event, and Helen explains what this means. 1:05:17: Anime can make famous actors cry — see Michael B. Jordan crying over My Hero Academia — and can have its own category on Jeopardy!.

After years of hiatus, the 2D visual-kei rock project Executioner made its return in 2025. And while this could have been good news the problem is... the project changed 70% of the cast, including 2 out of the 3 main vocals for the 3 bands in the project, all in the name of "improving the project's quality" and "delivering the best experience".In this episode, let's dive into what Executioner is, the odd hiatus the project immediately went on, not even 3 months after its launch, its return, changes in the cast and my take from a business perspective as to why things have changed.This is an unscripted episode.You can find more about Executioner here: https://executioner.jp/post_news/%e3%80%90%e5%a4%a7%e5%88%87%e3%81%aa%e3%81%8a%e7%9f%a5%e3%82%89%e3%81%9b%e3%80%91/

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (01/08/2026): 3:05pm- According to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, a woman was shot and killed by immigration enforcement agents in Minnesota after attempting to run over ICE agents with her car. 3:20pm- While speaking with the press, Gov. Tim Walz denied having ever used “inflammatory terms” that would have encouraged Minnesotans to confront federal agents attempting to enforce immigration laws. However, less than two minutes later in the very same press briefing, Walz accused Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem of being an “executioner.” 3:30pm- In a press conference on Thursday, Vice President JD Vance addressed the yesterday's shooting in Minneapolis: "I can believe that her death is a tragedy, while also recognizing that it's a tragedy of her own making.” He continued, "everybody who has been repeating the LIE that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis when law enforcement shot at her—you should be ashamed of yourselves." 3:40pm- Vice President Vance announced the creation of a new Assistant Attorney General position who will have “nationwide jurisdiction over fraud”—focusing on Minnesota welfare fraud initially. 3:45pm- On Wednesday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey accused ICE of “causing chaos and distrust” and stated: “To ICE, get the f*ck out of Minneapolis.” Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is now echoing similar sentiments and threatening to impede immigration enforcement in his city. 4:00pm- Sen. Dave McCormick—United States Senator from Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Venezuelan tyrant Nicholas Maduro being removed from power, the synthetic drug crisis devastating Philadelphia, and nationwide immigration enforcement efforts. Sen. McCormick also reacts to Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner's inflammatory rhetoric directed at ICE agents. 4:25pm- Donkey's Place—which Anthony Bourdain famously declared the best cheesesteak in Philadelphia (despite being located in Camden, NJ)—had its beloved walrus penis stolen by a customer. Prior to the theft, it had been prominently displayed in the bar. 4:40pm- South Park weighs-in on the Trump administration's new dietary guidelines. 4:45pm- While speaking with the press, Gov. Tim Walz denied having ever used “inflammatory terms” that would have encouraged Minnesotans to confront federal agents attempting to enforce immigration laws.

McCarthy explained why, legally, the immigration officer who shot a Minneapolis woman while she allegedly attempted to strike ICE officers with her car, will not be found guilty of any crime under the Fourth Amendment and the 1985 Supreme Court case Tennessee v. Gardner. 6:15pm- Gary sits on Rich's lap. To be clear, Gary is a puppy…not a person.

Twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize, firstly in 1969 for The Armies of the Night and again in 1980 for The Executioner's Song, Norman Mailer's life comes as close as is possible to being the Great American Novel: beyond reason, inexplicable, wonderfully grotesque and addictive.The Naked and the Dead was acclaimed not so much for its intrinsic qualities but rather because it launched a brutally realistic sub-genre of military fiction - Catch 22 and MASH would not exist without it. In Tough Guy: The Life of Norman Mailer (Bloomsbury, 2023), Richard Bradford combs through Mailer's personal letters - to lovers and editors - which appear to be a rehearsal for his career as a shifty literary narcissist, and which shape the characters of one of the most widely celebrated World War II novels. Bradford strikes again with a merciless biography in which diary entries, journal extracts and newspaper columns set the tone of this study of a controversial figure. From friendships with contemporaries such as James Baldwin, failed correspondences with Hemingway and the Kennedys, to terrible - but justified - criticism of his work by William Faulkner and Eleanor Roosevelt, this book gives a unique, snappy and convincing perspective of Mailer's ferocious personality and writings. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University.

In September, The Intercept broke the story of the U.S. military ordering an additional strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean.Since then, U.S. boat strikes have expanded to the Pacific Ocean. The Intercept has documented 22 strikes as of early December that have killed at least 87 people. Alejandro Carranza Medina, a Colombian national, was one of the dozens of people killed in these strikes. His family says he was just out fishing for marlin and tuna when U.S. forces attacked his boat on September 15. On behalf of Medina's family, attorney Dan Kovalik has filed a formal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.“We're bringing a petition alleging that the U.S. violated the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, in particular, the right to life, the right to due process, the right to trial, and we're seeking compensation from the United States for the family of Alejandro Carranza, as well as injunctive relief, asking that the U.S. stop these bombings,” Kovalik told The Intercept.In the midst of this massive scandal, the so-called Department of War is cracking down on journalists' ability to cover U.S. military actions. Back in October, Secretary Pete Hegseth introduced major new restrictions on reporters covering the Pentagon. In order to maintain press credentials to enter the Pentagon, journalists would have to sign a 17-page pledge committing to the new rules limiting press corps reporting to explicitly authorized information, including a promise to not gather or seek information the department has not officially released.This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Jessica Washington speaks to Kovalik about Medina's case. Intercept senior reporterNick Turse and Gregg Leslie, executive director of the First Amendment Clinic at Arizona State University Law, also join Washington to discuss the strikes off the coast of Latin America, subsequent attacks on shipwrecked survivors, and the administration's response to reporting on U.S. forces and the Pentagon.Leslie raised concerns about the administration's attempts to erase press freedoms. “It's just that fundamental issue of, who gets to cover the government? Is it only government-sanctioned information that gets out to the people, or is it people working on behalf of the United States public who get to really hold people to account and dive deep for greater information? And all of that is being compromised, if there's an administration that says, ‘We get to completely put a chokehold on any information that we don't want to be released,'” says Leslie. “You just don't have a free press if you have to pledge that you're not going to give away information just because it hasn't been cleared. It just shouldn't work that way, and it hasn't worked that way. And it's frightening that we've gotten an administration trying to make that the norm.”With a president who regularly targets journalists and critics, Turse adds, “What's to stop a lawless president from killing people in America that he deems to be domestic terrorists? … These boat strikes, the murders of people convicted of no crimes, if they become accepted as normal. There's really nothing to stop the president from launching such attacks within the United States.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing onApple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.You can support our work at theintercept.com/join.

Back in episode 21, we covered three different entries in Naschy's werewolf films. So this time out, we are covering three of his NON-werewolf titles.

Making over a hundred titles in his career spanning decades, Paul Naschy loved the horror genre and made the kind of films he wanted to, giving fans a wide variety of well-known beasties, as well as ones we'd never seen before. While some might say they vary in quality, Naschy's passion never did, and he always put his heart and soul into each one of them.

Dr. Amanda Akers, one of our awesome Best Life clinicians, has a free flowing and often funny discussion with me about the ins and outs of psychoanalytic therapy. We cover myths vs reality, why both of us take a deeper perspective than CBT, our own thoughts about the impact of childhood in adulthood, and I ask her the most common questions I get from clients about this approach, like... how long does it take? Why does childhood matter in adulthood? And why does the therapist client relationship matter so much?

This week, in East Hampton, New York, a horribly bloody murder scene is found, inside of a custom mansion, in an elite neighborhood. The multimillionaire victim has plenty of enemies, both business, and personal, but because of a removed hard drive, in the alarm system, detectives focus on the blue collar electrician boyfriend of the dead man's soon to be ex-wife. He also has others to blame, but will anyone buy it?? Along the way, we find out that rich people are cheap when it comes to booking bands, that it's hard to look past a suspect, when they have over 80 million reasons to commit the crime, and that if you tell everyone you know that you murdered someone, eventually, someone will tell!!
