Geoffrey Blake on Young Guns, Cast Away & the Brutal Truth About Acting In this funny, loose, and unexpectedly insightful episode of Reza Rifts, Keith Reza welcomes actor Geoffrey Blake back for a third conversation. The two talk about the SAG strike, life on the road, quitting Twitter, social-media weirdness, and the unpredictable reality of surviving in show business. Geoffrey is candid, sharp, and full of stories that feel like old-school Hollywood war tales told by someone who actually lived them. The episode really shines when Geoffrey starts unpacking his career: chaotic Critters 3 practical effects, spotting Leonardo DiCaprio's star power early, having most of his Cast Away material cut, and sharing memories from Young Guns, Forrest Gump, Brink!, and more. The biggest takeaway is simple and brutally honest: if he could talk to his younger self, he'd say, "save your money." Guest Info Geoffrey Blake is an American film and television actor born in Baltimore in 1962. He's best known to many fans as Wesley in Forrest Gump, and his film career also includes Young Guns, Contact, Cast Away, Apollo 13, Critters 3, FernGully: The Last Rainforest, and Midway. On television, he's appeared in projects including Renegade, Homefront, Any Day Now, House, Criminal Minds, The Man in the High Castle, Bridge and Tunnel, and Hotel Cocaine. On this episode, Geoffrey comes across as exactly the kind of guest podcast audiences love: generous, self-aware, connected, and full of behind-the-scenes stories about actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Jack Palance, Terrence Stamp, Ed Burns, and Dermot Mulroney. Guest Social Links Instagram: @geoffrey_blake … https://www.instagram.com/geoffrey_blake/ IMDb: Geoffrey Blake … https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0086553/ During the episode, Geoffrey says he had left Twitter/X and dissolved his Facebook account, while still directing listeners to Instagram.

Dana and Tom with returning 5x Club members and guests, Allyson Techmeier and Sarah Duncan, discuss Legally Blonde (2001), celebrating its 25th anniversary: directed by Robert Luketic, written by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, cinematography by Anthony B. Richmond, music by Rolfe Kent, editing by Anita Brandt-Burgoyne, starring Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson, Victor Garber, Jennifer Coolidge, Selma Blair, and Ali Larter.Plot Summary: Set against the polished halls of Harvard Law, this modern fable follows a young woman (Reese Witherspoon) whose sunny confidence and impeccable style mask a sharp mind waiting to be taken seriously. When she enrolls to win back a beau, she instead confronts a world eager to underestimate her—and finds her own voice in the process. A campus comedy becomes a courtroom coming‑of‑age tale, celebrating wit, resilience, and the courage to surprise everyone, including oneself.Guests:Sarah Duncan - Sister of Tom, Daughter of Dana@thenomadicarchaeologist on IGPrevious Episodes: Zodiac, My Fair Lady, The Artist, Inglourious Basterds, The Great Dictator, Forrest Gump, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Knives Out, All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), The General, History of the World: Part Allyson Techmeier - Sister of Tom, Daughter of Dana5x Club Member - My Fair Lady (1964), Mary Poppins (1964), 12 Years a Slave (2013), Batman Begins (2005), Casablanca (1943) Re-Revisit, Toy Story (1995)Chapters:00:00 Introduction, Cast, and Background to Legally Blonde03:44 Welcome Back, Allyson and Sarah!04:59 Our Relationship(s) with Legally Blonde09:58 What Did Allyson and Sarah Find Inspiring in Legally Blonde?12:35 Reese Witherspoon's Most Iconic Role?16:20 Plot Summary for Legally Blonde17:01 What is Legally Blonde About?22:57 Did You Know?25:53 First Break26:36 What's Happening with Allyson and Sarah?29:17 Legal Analysis of Legally Blonde36:11 Best Performance(s)40:53 Best Scene(s)54:24 Second Break55:02 Best Lines57:40 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy1:04:42 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance1:12:43 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty1:22:42 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness1:32:04 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability1:35:27 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total1:36:52 Remaining Questions for Legally Blonde1:41:53 Thank You to Allyson and Sarah/Final Thoughts1:43:18 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/legally-blonde-2001-ft-sarah-and-allyson-duncanFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:Legally Blonde, Reese Witherspoon, legal accuracy, film analysis, inspiring movies, law school, female empowerment, cultural impact, legal education, movie legacy, film critique, legal, legal analysis, Ali Larter, Luke Wilson, Victor Garber, Selma Blair, lawyer, criminal, perm, hair care, podcastRonny Duncan Studios
This summer, we explore themes from popular films alongside Scripture, uncovering how God's truth speaks through the stories we love. From adventure and sacrifice to redemption and hope, each week reminds us that God is present in every part of our story—inviting us into something greater. This week, we examine the story of Forrest Gump. As the history of the United States from the 1950s to the '70s unfolds from the perspective of an Alabama man with an IQ of 75, who yearns to be reunited with his childhood sweetheart. Pastor Karla discusses how life may not always go as planned, but if we submit to God's will we can trust God will use our lives for good.

The only way that the plot can work is if the entire movie didn't actually happen. Monster A-Go-Go, anyone? Riding the Bullet isn't so much a movie as it is an argument against outlining your screenplay. The only way any of this can possibly make sense is if Alan climbed into his bathtub at the beginning of the film, took enough PCP to tranquilize a rhinoceros, hallucinated the next ninety minutes, eventually sobered up, got a job, lived an aggressively ordinary life, and then, decades later, turned to the camera for a Forrest Gump-style epilogue. That's the only version of events that even remotely holds together. Otherwise, you're left trying to connect scenes that appear to have been shuffled like a deck of cards before filming. The movie lurches from supernatural horror to psychological drama to roadside ghost story without ever committing to what it's actually about. Characters drift in and out, bizarre encounters pile up without consequence, and every revelation somehow raises more questions than it answers. Rather than building mystery, it simply abandons the idea that events should have causes or effects. Watching Riding the Bullet feels less like unraveling a puzzle and more like trying to remember a dream someone else had after taking expired cold medicine. Then comes the finale, which somehow manages to make everything even worse. Alan spends years living a completely mundane life before asking the audience, "When it's your time, will you ride the bullet?" That's... not a philosophical question. It's literally asking whether, when it's time for you to die, you'll die. Well... yes. We all will. It's not an optional side quest. The film spends nearly two hours building toward what it thinks is a profound meditation on mortality, only to land on the cinematic equivalent of asking, "When you get hungry, will you eat food?" That may actually make Riding the Bullet unique. It's the rare rhetorical movie. Not a movie that asks rhetorical questions—a movie whose entire existence is rhetorical. It's constructed as though it's supposed to provoke an emotional response, but not one you're actually capable of having because none of it means anything. The plot doesn't exist, the message doesn't exist, and by the time the credits roll, you're left wondering if you imagined the whole thing. Frankly, that breaks my cardinal rule of movie - if you made me watch your 90+ minute boreathon and then tell me it didn't actually happen, you get 0 stars because you're not a movie. BOO!!!

Winston Groom's picaresque romp Forrest Gump inspired a juggernaut of a movie in the mid-90s - but it's really a rather different story than the one told onscreen.

From Forrest Gump to The Last Rodeo, actor, director, and musician Michael Tyrone "T" Williamson sits down with Steve Kmetko on Still Here Hollywood for a raw, soulful conversation about the role that changed his life. In this episode, T shares the real story behind landing the role of Bubba Blue opposite Tom Hanks, how he improvised some of the film's most iconic lines, the surprising reason he's never eaten at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., and what it's really like working alongside Denzel Washington, Angela Bassett, Al Pacino, and Gary Sinise. He also opens up about his new Angel Studios film The Last Rodeo, his upcoming role in Dark Matter, his philosophy on faith, family, and staying true to yourself in Hollywood, and heartfelt stories about his daughters, his mother, and the journey from South Los Angeles to the big screen.
On The Tara Show, host Ryan Rucker breaks down a list from The Hollywood Reporter featuring 25 movies meant to define the "essence of America." Rucker heavily criticizes several of the choices—such as Fast & Furious 7 and The Godfather—arguing that they fail to capture the true American spirit. After opening up the text lines, listeners call and write in to share their own defining films, pitching classics like The Sandlot, Forrest Gump, Moneyball, The Natural, and It's a Wonderful Life. The segment wraps up with Rucker and his guest, attorney Brad Young, pivoting to discuss recent major Supreme Court decisions, before concluding with a patriotic reflection on the privileges of being an American citizen ahead of the Fourth of July weekend.
On this episode of The Tara Show, host Ryan Rucker disputes a list from The Hollywood Reporter that identifies 25 movies defining the "essence of America," criticizing choices like Fast & Furious 7 and The Godfather as poor representations of the country's spirit. After turning to the listeners for input, callers write in to suggest alternative films that better capture American culture, highlighting classics such as The Sandlot, Forrest Gump, Moneyball, The Natural, and It's a Wonderful Life. Later in the hour, Rucker welcomes attorney Brad Young to review major recent Supreme Court decisions, analyzing rulings on birthright citizenship, geofencing, transgender sports participation, and mail-in ballots. The show wraps up with a patriotic reflection on the privilege of American citizenship as Rucker wishes his audience a happy Fourth of July weekend.
Welcome to Day 1 of American Ground Radio's 10th Annual Fourth of July Special — What Makes America Great — with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. We're celebrating America's 250th birthday with some of the most inspiring voices in the country. We kick things off with country music legend Clint Black, who calls the Constitution America's greatest gift — not because it created a perfect nation, but because the framers built in the wisdom to know they weren't perfect and gave the people the tools to correct course. He reflects on John Adams making those horseback rides from Boston to Philadelphia at an age Clint was when he was reading about it — knowing the punishment for failure was death — and what that kind of courage means to the rest of us. Then Joe Piscopo — Frank Sinatra's vice chairman of the board — joins us from New Jersey, talking about his grandfather's manifest on the German freighter that brought him to Ellis Island, his father fighting for the United States Army Air Corps in World War II, and why every morning on the radio he feels like he's on a mission in their name to keep the legacy of this country alive. Singer-songwriter Don McLean, author of American Pie, tells us about falling in love with an Israeli woman, living outside Tel Aviv while he could hear the Iran-Iraq War a hundred miles away, and coming home to America thinking — we have no idea how safe we are here. He also tells us about a new documentary on the making of American Pie and his brand new album American Boys. Mattress Mack — Jim McIngvale of Gallery Furniture in Houston — gives us the three-word formula he's lived by his whole life: late to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise. He talks about opening his furniture store as a shelter during Houston floods and hurricanes, about a man who spent six years in Angola Penitentiary and is now one of his best employees, and about why the Judeo-Christian work ethic is the foundation of everything he's built. He also shares that in 1900, the average American household had 10.5 people. Today it's under two. And one, he says, is the loneliest number. Gary Sinise — Lieutenant Dan himself, founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation, author of Grateful American — talks about standing at the DMZ between North and South Korea and staring into the eyes of a North Korean guard who has never known freedom, and what that does to your appreciation for everything the men and women who serve under our flag have given us. He also shares that the 30th anniversary of Forrest Gump is coming up on July 6th. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to talk about their 23rd annual Fourth of July family gathering — a tradition they started as young newlyweds so their children would always have a reason to come home — and what it means now that those children have children of their own. Teri talks about the new urgency she feels as a patriot, the sense that this 250-year experiment is teetering, and why that makes the celebration more important, not less. Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church in Dallas opens with the observation that Benjamin Franklin — a deist who didn't believe God intervened in human affairs — stood at the Constitutional Convention and said, the longer I live, the more I'm convinced God governs the affairs of men. He also makes a sober point that America has no biblical promise of eternal endurance the way Israel does — and that our future depends entirely on our response to God's call to repentance. And Dr. Carol Swain — one of 12 children who grew up in poverty in the rural South, dropped out of school after eighth grade, and went on to earn a Ph.D. and become a university professor — says it was the people who made her great, many of them white men who saw something in her worth believing in. She says the most positive indoctrination in the world is being told you live in the greatest country on earth and that hard work will get you somewhere — and she credits not being exposed to critical race theory and victimology as part of why she was able to succeed. Throughout the special, we return to the central truth that runs through every one of these interviews — America doesn't manufacture greatness. It unleashes it. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

The Crow (1994) Review is finally here, and the Born to Watch boys are diving headfirst into one of the most iconic cult films of the 1990s. Directed by Australian filmmaker Alex Proyas and forever linked to the tragic death of Brandon Lee during production, The Crow has become far more than just another comic book adaptation. It's a film surrounded by myth, emotion and an unforgettable soundtrack, but does the movie itself still deserve its legendary reputation?Whitey is joined by Gow, Damo and returning fan favourite Adam "Strangles" Strang as they revisit the dark, rain-soaked streets of Detroit to find out whether Eric Draven's tale of love, revenge and redemption still flies more than three decades later.From the opening scene, the boys tackle the elephant in the room. Has The Crow become more famous because of Brandon Lee's tragic passing than because of the movie itself? It's a question that sparks one of the episode's biggest debates as they separate the film from the legend surrounding it.There is no denying the visual impact. Alex Proyas creates one of cinema's most distinctive gothic worlds, drenched in perpetual darkness, flickering fire and endless rain. Whitey argues it could be one of the best-looking films of the decade, while the panel discusses whether the relentless black colour palette enhances the atmosphere or simply makes it impossible to see what's happening half the time.Brandon Lee delivers a performance filled with charisma, physicality and vulnerability as Eric Draven, a murdered musician brought back from the dead by a mysterious crow to seek revenge on the gang responsible for killing him and his fiancée. Along the way, the boys question the film's mythology, wonder why so little is explained about the supernatural rules and debate whether audiences are expected to simply accept everything without asking questions.The laughs continue as the conversation drifts into grandad slippers, Skippy, Video Ezy memories, terrible engagement rings, goth fashion, VHS collections and one of Damo's most detailed Snorbs Reports yet. As always, no tangent is off limits.The cast also comes under the microscope. Michael Wincott's gloriously over-the-top Top Dollar, Ernie Hudson's compassionate Sergeant Albrecht and the unforgettable David Patrick Kelly all receive plenty of love, while the panel reflects on Brandon Lee's short but promising career and imagines what Hollywood might have looked like had tragedy never struck.As the discussion unfolds, comparisons are made to other revenge classics, including John Wick, The Warriors and Darkman, while Whitey questions whether the film spends enough time developing its central love story for audiences to truly care about Eric's mission.The boys also explore the incredible year that was 1994, discussing how The Crow stacked up against cinematic heavyweights like Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption, Speed and The Lion King. It's another reminder of just how stacked one of Hollywood's greatest years really was.Of course, it wouldn't be Born to Watch without the regular favourites. IMDb ratings, Rotten Tomatoes scores, box office numbers, Question Time, the Snorbs Report, hilarious listener interaction and plenty of brutal honesty all feature as the team works towards the all-important final verdict.So, does The Crow still deserve its place among the greatest cult movies ever made? Has its reputation been elevated by tragedy, or is it genuinely one of the defining films of the 1990s? Join Whitey, Gow, Damo and Strangles as they break down every crow, every quote and every questionable fashion choice in another laugh-out-loud episode of Born to Watch.Join the F WitsIf you love movies, nostalgia and four mates who aren't afraid to call out the good, the bad and the downright ridiculous, make sure you subscribe to Born to Watch wherever you get your podcasts. Follow us on social media, join the conversation, and let us know whether The Crow deserves its cult-classic status or if the legend has outgrown the film itself.#BornToWatch #TheCrow1994 #BrandonLee #AlexProyas #MovieReview #CultClassic #MoviePodcast #90sMovies #FilmReview #GothicCinema

Howard, starring Mel Brooks, Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, and Cloris Leachman.Plot Summary: History of the World, Part I is a wild comedy that makes fun of famous moments in world history. Mel Brooks plays several different characters as the movie jumps from the Stone Age to the Roman Empire and the French Revolution. Through songs, jokes, and ridiculous situations, the movie pokes fun at politics, religion, and human behavior. Its fast-moving style and silly humor have made it a cult comedy favorite.Guest:Sarah Duncan - Sister of Tom, Daughter of Dana@thenomadicarchaeologist on IGPrevious Episodes: Zodiac, My Fair Lady, The Artist, Inglourious Basterds, The Great Dictator, Forrest Gump, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Knives Out, All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), The GeneralChapters:00:00 Introduction, Cast, and Background for History of the World, Part I04:01 Welcome Back, Sarah Duncan06:09 Relationship(s) with History of the World08:39 How Has History of the World's Comedy Aged?13:48 The Borscht Belt16:43 Why There is No One Else Like Mel Brooks23:44 Plot Summary for History of the World24:27 What is History of the World About?29:05 Did You Know?32:11 First Break32:54 What's Happening with Sarah Duncan?33:18 Best Performance(s)38:09 Best Scene(s)42:11 Second Break43:10 In Memoriam43:42 Best/Funniest Lines46:23 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy49:37 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance52:19 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty55:34 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness58:59 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:01:54 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:03:03 Thank You to Sarah and Remaining Thoughts01:12:00 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/history-of-the-world-part-i-1981-ft-sarah-duncanFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:Mel Brooks, History of the World Part 1, comedy, film legacy, behind the scenes, classic movies, satire, film analysisRonny Duncan Studios

Welcome to the Season 7 Finale of Decorating the Set: From Hollywood to Your Home with Beth Kushnick! For our Season 7 Finale, Beth welcomes her long time friend, Emmy-award winning director and executive producer, Frederick E. O. Toye. Fred has been a part of some of the BEST television made in the last 25 years. In addition to being a treasure trove of stories and Hollywood history, he was a delightful guest. A big thank you to Fred for donating his time to speak to us. Thank you for listening to Season 7 of Decorating the Set and we can’t wait to see you for Season 8! The Interview with Fred begins at Time Code: 3:50 Join the Decorating the Set Community by subscribing to our Official Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/decoratingthesetpodcast)! Interact with Beth, Caroline, Producer Mike, and all of the DTS listeners! GUEST BIO: FREDERICK E. O. TOYE Frederick E. O. Toye is an American television director and executive producer. Toye made the move into television directing after working for five years as a production assistant and a decade as an editor. This background in the editing room gave him a solid sense of how to tell a clear story, which helped considerably in his work on such complex series as Chuck (NBC 2007–12) and Fringe (Fox 2008–13). Los Angeles native Toye got his first screen credit working as a production assistant on Billy Crystal’s 1989 HBO special Midnight Train to Moscow, before moving into visual effects on films like The Addams Family (1991) and then working as an assistant editor on hit films such as Forrest Gump (1994) and Men in Black (1997). As a TV director, Toye cut his teeth on network TV action and sci-fi thrillers like Alias, Lost, and Fringe and has also worked on character-rich dramas such as The Good Wife. That experience running the gamut between drama genres served Toye well in recent years, directing episodes of genre series like Westworld, Snowpiercer, Watchmen and The Walking Dead. In 2024, his prolific output included The Boys and Fallout. The same year, Toye received acclaim for his work on Shōgun, helming four episodes of the Emmy-winning FX drama series, including season finale “A Dream of a Dream.” The season’s penultimate episode, “Crimson Sky,” earned Toye his first-ever Emmy for outstanding directing, which was also Toye’s first-ever career nomination in the category. Toye followed it up by directing the pilot episode of Prime Video's prequel series The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, starring Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch. He set to direct the opening episodes of the Prime Video series Bloodaxe and God of War. ### For over 35 years, Beth Kushnick has created character-driven settings for countless award-winning television series and feature films.

Ageless Athlete - Fireside Chats with Adventure Sports Icons
Some guests make you want to train harder. Mike Wardian makes you want to live wider — and stop postponing the things that matter. Mike is 52, a runner, adventurer, and lifelong “yes” person. What stood out here wasn't a race résumé. It was how he builds a life where training fits inside the day, curiosity stays lit, and progress keeps happening even when time is tight. Mike's story has that real-life Forrest Gump energy — he ran 3,200 miles across America on Running Home. But the reason he belongs on this show is the off-camera stuff: burpees while the toast cooks, workouts folded into errands, and the willingness to be a beginner again — whether that's pickleball, chess, or whatever comes next. I'm grateful to Mike for the clarity and humanity he brought to this episode — ambition without bravado, urgency without panic. In this episode, we explore “Tomorrow isn't guaranteed” philosophy Training inside real life constraints The 4-part playbook: mindset / planning / strength / integration Humility as a longevity skill Starting > gear, hacks, perfection Links: Mike on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikewardian/ Mike's website: www.mikewardian.com Mike's partners (mentioned): Gear: Teva (https://teva.com) • Suunto (https://suunto.com) • Injinji (https://injinji.com) • T8 (https://t8.run) • Bakline (https://bakline.nyc) Fuel: Big Spoon Roasters (https://bigspoonroasters.com) • Squirrel's Nut Butter (https://squirrelsnutbutter.com) • South Block (https://southblock.com) Health: MedStar (https://medstarhealth.org)

Jason Fraley interviews Gary Sinise, who returns to co-host the National Memorial Day Concert with Joe Mantegna tomorrow on PBS. He called in the first time 10 years ago when he co-hosted the event in 2016, capping a busy weekend where his Lt. Dan Band rocked the G.I. Film Festival at Howard Theatre and performed for the wounded vets at Walter Reed. They also discuss the legacy of his Oscar-nominated role as Lt. Dan Taylor in “Forrest Gump,” which won six Oscars, including Best Picture. (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")
The Rizzuto Show returns with another completely unhinged episode packed with heroic swamp justice, emotional damage, celebrity chaos, and enough playground nostalgia to make you smell cafeteria pizza again. This comedy podcast starts strong with the crew preparing for Pointfest weekend before immediately derailing into one of the greatest fake award ceremonies in show history: the official presentation of the first-ever Swamp Justice Medal of Freedom.After a St. Louis Cardinals fan bravely stepped in during a dangerous moment at Busch Stadium, the show decides the man deserves recognition the mainstream media apparently refused to provide. Naturally, this turns into a fully orchestrated patriotic tribute involving dramatic speeches, fake medals, Midwestern heroism, and several moments that somehow feel both sincere and completely ridiculous at the same time. Honestly, it might be the proudest moment in modern broadcasting. Or the dumbest. Hard to tell anymore.Then things somehow become even more unstable.Rafe discovers that Reba McEntire is engaged and reacts with the emotional maturity of a raccoon trapped inside a fireworks store. What follows is one of the most absurd comedy bits in recent memory as he describes crashing Reba's future wedding disguised as a corn dog vendor while professing his undying love in front of longhorn cattle, miniature donkeys, and deeply uncomfortable wedding guests. If you've ever wondered what would happen if romantic fan fiction collided with state fair cuisine, this comedy podcast has your answer.The crew also debates the saddest movie deaths of all time and accidentally turns the studio into a trauma support group. From Bing Bong and Mufasa to Armageddon, The Green Mile, Forrest Gump, Logan, and My Girl, absolutely nobody escapes emotional devastation. Moon somehow tries to sneak Jesus Christ into the conversation, which honestly feels very on-brand at this point.Elsewhere in the episode:Mini Kiss stories somehow dominate an entire segmentAir Supply accidentally catches straysThe internet invents “ball maxing” because society is collapsing in real timeHorse fart audio becomes a legitimate discussion topicThe gang debates recess, playground politics, and old-school childhood gamesRafe reveals he was elite at Double Dutch before toxic masculinity stole his dreamsEverybody collectively realizes recess may have been the only thing keeping America functionalThis comedy podcast continues delivering the exact mix of sarcastic humor, pop culture nonsense, emotional overreactions, and St. Louis chaos that somehow keeps this whole thing running. Whether it's celebrity gossip, weird news, childhood trauma, or a grown man yelling “GET YOUR CORN DOG, REBA” into a microphone, The Rizzuto Show remains your trusted source for daily entertainment and complete nonsense.If you love funny podcasts, weird stories, sarcastic humor, celebrity fails, daily comedy, or hearing adults emotionally unravel over fictional characters and carnival food, welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.City of Markham sues park district executive director over prom photo helicopter landingStudy Shows Littering Declined 34% Across America Since 2020Nonprofits spearhead St. Louis effort to remove trash, tiresWoman Who Went Viral for Unintentionally Rude Email Address Changes Her Last NameSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What started as a normal Friday episode quickly turned into one of the most emotionally unstable shows we've had in a while. Honestly, nobody was prepared for how hard the “saddest movie deaths ever” conversation was going to hit. One minute we're joking around about Pointfest and celebrity gossip… the next minute half the room is emotionally compromised over Artax from The NeverEnding Story slowly sinking into the Swamp of Sadness while childhood memories collapse in real time.This episode of The Rizzuto Show goes deep into the emotional destruction caused by movies like The Lion King, Big Fish, My Girl, The Green Mile, Logan, Forrest Gump, Titanic, Harry Potter, Inside Out, Fox and the Hound, Steel Magnolias, All Dogs Go To Heaven, and about 400 others because apparently everyone on this show carries unresolved cinematic trauma.Moon gets surprisingly philosophical. Rafe gets aggressively emotional about animated foxes. Lern somehow manages to make everybody sad repeatedly. Scott contributes exactly the kind of unhinged movie takes you'd expect from Scott. Meanwhile Riz attempts to hold the entire thing together while the conversation spirals into increasingly depressing territory.And somehow — somehow — we pivot from emotional movie deaths directly into celebrity gossip and fried chicken.Because that's radio, baby.We break down the bizarre report that Michael Jackson allegedly ate KFC for nearly every meal of his life. Naturally, this leads to an aggressive debate over mashed potatoes, fast food quality decline, chicken sandwich wars, buffet nostalgia, and whether anyone should trust powdered potatoes emotionally or spiritually.The celebrity chaos doesn't stop there:Paul McCartney refuses selfies because he feels like a zoo animalBritney Spears may or may not have terrified an entire restaurant while holding a knifeTaylor Swift wedding rumors are getting more secretive than a CIA operationKorn is apparently sitting on 40 unreleased songsPink Floyd now has collectible coins because reality means nothing anymoreThis funny podcast somehow manages to combine emotional damage, celebrity nonsense, food debates, weird news, sarcastic humor, and total radio chaos into one gloriously ridiculous episode. If you like a daily comedy show that sounds like your funniest friends slowly losing control in real time, welcome home.The Rizzuto Show continues delivering the kind of funny podcast energy that only happens when nobody in the room knows how to stay on topic for longer than 45 seconds.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He has tracked money for terrorists, investigated organ trafficking and corruption in professional sports, advised major financial institutions on predictive compliance, and taught financial crime investigation to military and civilian professionals across dozens of countries. He is a certified instructor with both the Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists (ACFCS) and the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS). This one's a little different. Tom is a high school buddy, and we hit record in the middle of a conversation that had already started. What followed was nearly two hours of stories, insights, and the kind of frank talk you only get from someone who has no reason to perform for a camera.

Growing up in a central Jersey town full of World War II veterans, Holocaust survivors' grandchildren, and teachers who took their students seriously shaped Tom's sense of civic obligation well before West Point entered the picture. The community you grow up in sets the frame for what you think is worth doing. Arabic, Kuwait, and the value of obscure skills. Tom chose to study Arabic at West Point when almost no one else was. Within a year, Saddam Hussein had invaded Kuwait and suddenly everyone wanted to know who spoke Arabic. The lesson: depth in an unfashionable area compounds. What George H.W. Bush actually understood. Tom's instructor at West Point, Colonel Richard Augustus Norton — a Vietnam vet who had also served in Lebanon and learned both Farsi and Arabic — explained to his cadets exactly why the first Bush did not drive to Baghdad. Occupying it would have meant a decade of entanglement. A decade later, Tom watched those predictions come true in real time. Learn what normal looks like before you can spot abnormal. From a South African tracker teaching Tom to read an empty watering hole as a threat indicator, to Secret Service agents training currency detection by feel rather than scanner, to teaching financial crime investigators to recognize patterns before they see violations — this is a through-line of Tom's entire career. Predictive compliance versus retroactive compliance. When Tom moved into the private sector at the Bank of Montreal, his boss Andy Hoffman wanted something the financial industry rarely did: get ahead of problems instead of responding to them. Tom's military intelligence background — built on anticipating failure before it happens — turned out to be exactly the right preparation. Bureaucracies eat good work. Tom spent two years writing threat assessments in Haiti, working 90-hour weeks, only to have a naval vessel show up with a 2003 report because his updates had been lost in the system. The same pattern repeated across Afghanistan, Ukraine, Belarus, and elsewhere. Institutional memory is not a given. Someone has to fight for it. Being open to learning is harder than it sounds. Tom has trained professionals ranging from 20 to 55 years old across dozens of countries. The single hardest thing to teach is not technical knowledge. It is the willingness to actually revise what you already believe. About Our Guest Thomas J.

Rick Sadler is one of those names you may not always hear first—but if you've been around the vintage Volkswagen scene long enough, you've definitely seen him. A member of the legendary Der Kleiner Panzers (DKP), Rick is what you'd call the Forrest Gump of the VW world—always there, always involved, and somehow part of some of the most iconic moments in VW history. In this episode, Rick takes us into his journey through the Type 4 performance scene—a path far less traveled when most builders were focused on Type 1 engines. From his early days racing at Ascot Park Speedway to pushing the limits in drag racing, Rick shares the evolution of his builds, including custom cylinder head development, experimental setups, and the relentless pursuit of horsepower. One of the highlights of Rick's story is living out a dream that most VW enthusiasts only imagine—getting the opportunity to rebuild the engine for the legendary Schley Brothers' Type 4 dragster. It's a full-circle moment that perfectly captures the passion, persistence, and community that define the VW scene. This episode is packed with history, innovation, and firsthand insight into what it really takes to go against the grain and develop serious performance from a Type 4 platform. If you're into vintage Volkswagen racing, engine development, or just love hearing stories from the guys who were there, this is one you don't want to miss.
