Photos in the Epstein files appear to show a barefoot Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor crouching on all fours over a female. Elon Musk and Sir Richard Branson also feature in the latest release of documents.

The Hollywood system was never a secret, even in the Golden Age. A young girl would be discovered, plucked from a small town in the Midwest, made over to look “the part” of a movie star, and then wholly become one as one of the major studios “it girl.” Although the idea of what a “star” is has changed over the decades to reflect societal ideals of each decade, the process and effects remain the same. The same is true for the film A Star is Born, which has been adapted four times. The original was released in 1937 starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, and follows the Hollywood machine of making a movie star. Over the subsequent versions, music was introduced, first with the 1954 adaptation where Judy Garland tries to become a leading lady in a Hollywood musical. The 1976 and 2018 versions modernize the commentary by setting it in the music industry with Barbara Streisand and Lady Gaga starring respectively. These differences and what they say about each era of the entertainment industry are explored in the book “A Star is Reborn: The Most Filmed Hollywood Story of Love Found and Lost.” On FilmWeek, Larry Mantle speaks with the author Robert Hofler. “A Star is Reborn” is on sale now.

In Part 2 of this inspiring conversation, the discussion deepens into personal resilience, navigating marital conflict, and the leadership lessons that emerge from life's most difficult moments.

The episode explores how contextual intelligence influences decision-making, emotional awareness, and the ability to lead effectively under pressure. Listeners will hear practical insights on maintaining focus during uncertainty, turning challenges into growth opportunities, and applying empathy and perception in both personal and professional leadership. Matt explains how an epic mindset is crucial when life tests your strength.   Connect with Dr. Kutz to get a free chapter from his book and learn more about his services on his website (https://drmattkutz.com/).

Singer-songwriter Katie Waissel shot to fame on The X Factor in 2010, the same season that launched One Direction. Since then, she's spoken candidly about abuse, exploitation, and what she believes is the industry's failure to protect young artists. Now an outspoken advocate for artists' rights, she's involved in O-W-H-L, a group pushing the industry to take real responsibility for the people it profits from.

Stephanie Ahn discusses Bedford Park, her Sundance U.S. Dramatic Competition debut about a Korean American woman in her 30s pulled back into her parents' home after her mother's car accident, where she meets the man responsible and an unexpected connection begins to form. Ahn shares why she needed to make this film, how growing up Korean American left her hungry for stories that felt real beyond familiar clichés, and why writing Bedford Park meant finally walking straight into something deeply autobiographical she avoided for years.She talks about choosing uncertainty over comfort and taking the scary road on purpose, stepping away from a stable editing career to pursue a story that wouldn't let go. Ahn reflects on journaling as a way into the script, years of rejection, and learning to be ruthless with her own material as the film evolved from a family drama into a more intimate relationship story. Rather than starting with a message, she describes how the film's themes revealed themselves over time, ultimately centering on human connection, being truly seen, and how that clarity reshapes self-understanding.Ahn walks through the long, practical build: seven years of persistence, financing that finally unlocked through relationships and Korean backing, and an unusually deep rehearsal process with actors that stretched across years before shooting in New Jersey. She reflects on editing as a brutal but clarifying search for truth alongside a trusted co-editor, and on the films she kept returning to for structure and inspiration, including A Separation, Secret Sunshine, Rust and Bone, Heat, and The Insider.What Movies Are You Watching?This episode is brought to you by BeastGrip.

 Our guest took on a sweeping assignment in his new book “To Dare Mighty Things: U.S. Defense Strategy Since the Revolution.” But Michael O’Hanlon, of the Brookings Institution, and the author of this ambitious work came away convinced that there has been a steadier strategic theme throughout our history than he had earlier imagined.  Whether in Democratic or Republican Administrations, America has been no shrinking violet when it comes to exercising our military capabilities.  On balance, with the acknowledgement that we’ve made numerous mistakes, it’s been as a force of good in the world.  And while superpowers throughout history have generally found other nations working to balance their powers and end up isolated in the world, America has had an uncanny ability to build international alliances.  This has been a unique feature of the American approach.  Will it continue under Donald Trump or will we shift from grand lofty principles, like human rights and the flowering of democracies, to a more self-promotional foreign policy?  And where will that lead.  That’s the subject of today’s podcast.

"This is Donald Trump's world and we're all just living in it", so begins the annual issue of The Economist magazine's "The World Ahead in 2026" edition. Every year, we kick off the new year talking to Tom Standage, Deputy Editor of The Economist and Editor of the special issue that gives us a cheat sheet for what we might expect to see in world events. 2026 will continue to be a year of Trump shaking things up and the world trying to adjust. Standage and his team also say 2026 will also be the year of cheaper GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, peak wine consumption and possibly the end of the Commonwealth Games.

In Disney's “Wreck-It Ralph,” a video game character named Vanellope has a frustrating glitch, making her flicker and disappear. It's a source of shame for the entire movie … until she learns that this “glitch” actually provides her with a power she could never have imagined. Her glitch was actually a feature. In this week's message from 2 Corinthians 11–12, Pastor J.D. shows us a similar “glitch” in the life of Paul—and, in fact, in the lives of all believers. It's that point of pain and struggle we all wish we could remove. But as we'll learn, this “glitch” of weakness is actually the gateway to experience God's grace: God's power made perfect.

Join Dr. mOe Anderson and leadership scholar, author, and speaker Dr. Matt Kutz for a candid episode about leading through disruption, building resilience, and creating what Dr. Kutz calls an "epic mindset." Through personal stories—tracking an active volcano, cage-diving with great white sharks, and Matt's ongoing battle with advanced metastatic prostate cancer—the conversation explores how intense challenges shape leadership and personal growth. Memorable Quotes: "Consistency is key in leadership." "Unsolicited advice is criticism." "Mediocrity just makes me sad." Topics covered include contextual intelligence (the ability to read and adapt to your environment), 3D thinking (hindsight, insight, and foresight), and how to apply these frameworks in real time, practical practices for staying grounded during pressure and change, and the paradoxical idea of being "consistently flexible." Dr. Kutz explains how hindsight bias can distort memory, why attention to the present matters in seven-second windows, and how aspirational identity informs the behaviors that move leaders forward. Key Takeaways Creating and maintaining an epic mindset is crucial. Leadership requires consistency and flexibility. Contextual intelligence helps leaders adapt to their environment. 3D thinking involves understanding the past, present, and future. Personal challenges can enhance leadership qualities. It's important to acknowledge and process personal struggles. Unsolicited advice can create conflict in relationships. Mediocrity is a significant barrier to personal growth. Authenticity in leadership fosters trust and respect. Writing can be a powerful tool for processing experiences.

BJ had this song stuck in his head all day yesterday so he thought he'd make a new feature for the show today. What do you think and what song gets stuck in your head??

A surprising hire, a clear philosophy The Detroit Lions have their new offensive coordinator. Drew Petzing is in. On the Detroit Lions Podcast, Russell Brown and Scott Bischoff sifted through first impressions and got to the substance. Initial reactions felt muted. The shiny name wasn't coming. But the more they worked through scheme and personnel, the more the hire fit what the Lions want to be in the NFL. They pushed back on the noise. Fans cherry-picked stats. Few considered what Petzing had to work with. The conversation stayed on the grand picture: what this offense needs to do on Sundays and how Petzing can get it there. Lessons from Arizona that matter in Detroit Petzing's Arizona run offered useful clues. In 2023 he split the year between Kyler Murray for eight games and Josh Dobbs for eight. Dobbs looked good in that structure. In 2024 Murray played the full season. The offense was fine, not great, but functional. In the most recent season, Murray played about four or five games. Context mattered across all three years. Usage stood out. James Conner was highly productive despite not being a super explosive athlete. Arizona created touches for him as a runner and receiver. That detail resonated with Detroit. Think Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Creative throws to backs. Turn easy completions into first downs. That is bankable offense when games tighten. The fit: second-and-4 football The hosts kept returning to down-and-distance. This is the point of the Detroit Lions offense. Get to second and four. Open the playbook. Run play action. Move the chains. Control the clock. Petzing aligns with that identity. The expectation is a coherent ground attack that puts Jared Goff and the passing game in favorable spots. They contrasted that with the allure of Mike McDaniel. Fun idea, but not a clean fit. Shotgun-heavy. Wide zone as a base. That would force major changes to what Detroit does. Petzing's approach blends easier with the current core and the way the Lions want to play in the NFL. Framing the 2026 NFL Draft The discussion acknowledged uncertainty around how this hire touches the 2026 NFL Draft. The lens is clearer than the board. Build an offense that lives in manageable downs. Lean on play action. Feature backs in the passing game when the coverage picture invites it. Those are guideposts for roster planning, not predictions. It was cold outside. Snow piled up. Inside the Detroit Lions Podcast, the thesis warmed up fast: the name might not sparkle, but the fit makes sense. That is what matters for Detroit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp037jHNnn0 #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #drewpetzing #arizonacardinals #offensivecoordinator #kylermurray #joshdobbs #jamesconner #jahmyrgibbs #davidmontgomery #rungame #playaction #shotgunoffense #widezone #bradholmes #2026nfldraft Learn more about your ad choices.
