Lawrence Sher, ASC, is the cinematographer of Apex, the action thriller currently sitting at number one on Netflix. Apex stars Charlize Theron as a woman hunted through the Australian wilderness by a relentless pursuer, and it's one of the most visceral and visually grounded survival thrillers in recent memory. The entire film was shot on location in the Blue Mountains of Australia. Key Podcast Highlights: -How the extreme remoteness of the locations forced a documentary-inspired toolkit, including the Sony Venice bodies packed into backpacks, lightweight lenses, very few lights and a skilled drone pilot. -Building a visual philosophy around what you can't control. Lawrence embraced shifting sunlight, unpredictable weather, and inaccessible terrain as creative assets rather than obstacles. -Using a "documentary grammar" framework to justify camera angles and movement, drawing on the visual language of climbing films like Free Solo and The Alpinist. -How streaming has changed a cinematographer's relationship to their work. Lawrence sees Netflix's democratizing reach as a genuine second chance for films that deserve a wider audience.

El Free solo es un deporte extremo, subir rascacielos o montañas sin arnés de seguridad. Alex Honnold es el mayor exponente de este deporte que implica éxito o muerte... Pero en la biblia, más específicamente en la vida de Jesucristo, nos damos cuenta que Cristo realizó un Free solo mucho más sorprendente y más riesgoso que escalar cualquier montaña o rascacielos...

Tylenol Murders, Free Solo Climbing & Lawn Chair Larry: Wild True StoriesThe Old Dirty Basement podcast returns with an episode idea to discuss intriguing individuals and stories, starting with the 1982 Chicago Tylenol murders in which seven people died after capsules were laced with potassium cyanide, prompting a nationwide recall, new anti-tampering laws, and tamperproof packaging. The hosts cover suspect James William Lewis (who used aliases including “Robert Richardson”), his extortion letter demanding $1 million, his arrest in New York, conviction for extortion, later media attention, DNA testing that didn't match him, and the case remaining unsolved. They then shift to rock climber Alex Honnold and the extreme “free solo” style without ropes, recommending the Netflix documentary. Finally, they расскаunt Larry Walters' 1982 lawn-chair balloon flight to 16,000 feet over Los Angeles, his descent by shooting balloons, arrest, and the lawn chair's Smithsonian display, before wrapping up with social links and plugs.00:00 Basement Podcast Returns00:45 Episode Idea Pitch01:35 Tylenol Murders Setup02:49 Seven Deaths in Chicago06:46 Panic and Extortion Letter08:29 Alias Exposed as Lewis10:11 Lewis Backstory and Crimes14:39 Manhunt and Arrest17:32 Aftermath and Unsolved Case24:48 Wrap and Next Story Tease25:28 Alex Honnold Introduction26:31 Free Solo Talk27:50 Family Van Life28:50 How Far To Fall30:11 Jeffersons Theme Riffs32:13 TV Theme Royalties34:22 Larry Walters Setup38:28 Balloons Gone Wrong41:41 Airspace And Arrest47:01 Legacy And Wrap Up

Award-winning filmmaker Quinnolyn Benson-Yates made her first feature documentary before film school—and its seven-year journey from short film concept to PBS distribution holds lessons every indie filmmaker needs to hear.Epic Bill follows an endurance athlete who lost everything when his video rental empire collapsed (thanks, Netflix). Bill's mantra—“show up and suffer”—became Quinn's filmmaking philosophy as she navigated polar vortexes, battery failures in -50° weather, and the brutal realities of distribution. In this episode, she shares how she cut a 93-minute film down to 56 minutes for PBS, why credibility matters more than connections, and the uncomfortable truth about what distribution actually solves.DocuView Déjà Vu:Free Solo, 2018, 100 mins, Watch on on Disney + Package / Hulu, IMDB Link: Free Solo (2018) ⭐ 8.1 | Documentary, Adventure, SportMeru, 2015, 90 mins, Watch on Prime Video, IMDB Link: Meru (2015) ⭐ 7.7 | Documentary, SportCrip Camp: A Disability Revolution, 2020, 106 mins, Watch on Netflix, IMDB Link: Crip Camp (2020) ⭐ 7.7 | Documentary, HistoryWhat You'll Learn:Why “fail early, fail often” should include “fail sustainably”How archival footage transformed a short film into a featureThe PBS application process (NETA) and what it requiresWhat intermediaries like Bitmax do for Apple TV/Amazon distributionWhy distribution doesn't make your career—you doAbout Quinnolyn Benson-YatesQuinnolyn Benson-Yates is an award-winning filmmaker with an MFA from USC School of Cinematic Arts.

Which is more dangerous — the most extreme type of climbing or sailing alone around the world?It's a topic that sparks real debate in this episode. Alpine climbing in the Himalaya. Ice routes where one mistake can be fatal. Free soloing rock faces. Crossing the Southern Ocean alone, where rescue might be days away. Turning off your phone and removing the last layer of backup.But this conversation doesn't stay in the realm of adrenaline.Jerome Rand has sailed solo around the globe — 271 days and nearly 30,000 miles at sea. He's also thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, spending months largely alone, learning what prolonged solitude does to a person.What emerges in this episode isn't a contest of danger.It's a deeper exploration of:How much risk makes something feel like a “true” adventureWhether modern technology strengthens or softens that edgeThe psychology of immersion when there is no easy bailoutWhy the ratio of suffering to joy might be 90/10 — and why that 10% keeps us coming backJerome reflects on identity, mentorship, and the subtle tension of aging as an adventurer — when you begin to sense that the horizon you once chased might not be the only measure of a life well-lived.

Moviewallas is on YouTube! This week on Moviewallas, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi dive into survival, rivalry, obsession, and bone-crunching dystopia. From intimate indie drama to franchise horror spectacle, Episode 587 covers it all — plus a few streaming picks you won't want to miss. Snack check: We kick off with Spanish olive-oil tortas (cookie-meets-cracker perfection) and some very questionable peanut-butter choices by Joe. Streaming Picks Heated Rivalry (HBO) – Yazdi brings the steamy Canadian hockey romance that somehow evolves from “wait, what is this?” into genuinely moving TV. He makes the case that the third (and especially the fifth) episode is elite-level television – if the sauciness doesn't scare you off. Dhurandhar (Netflix) – Rashmi recommends this sprawling, hyper-violent underworld saga with a killer soundtrack and a serious macho streak. The group discusses its intensity, and why a 3.5-hour runtime may be best tackled across two nights. Skyscraper Live / Free Solo (Netflix) – Joe explains why the live Alex Honnold Taipei 101 climb is perhaps more stressful than enjoyable, then re-recommends the actual classic: Free Solo. This week’s Movies: Shelter A remote Scottish island, a rescue that changes everything, and Jason Statham in full lone-wolf mode. Shelter is exactly the kind of tense, brooding action-thriller premise that sounds like perfect weekend viewing – and it sparked a fun debate for us about what works, what doesn't, and what we wish the movie leaned into more. If you like Statham, isolated settings, and movies that invite “wait… hang on” moments, you'll want to hear where we landed. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple The rage-virus universe expands again – this time with a different directorial voice and a very specific kind of intensity. Only one of us saw The Bone Temple, which made for a great, spoiler-light breakdown: what the sequel is aiming for, how it shifts the tone from the previous film, and why it's clearly going to be a big conversation-starter for fans of the franchise. If you've been following this series, the podcast chat is the safest way to decide if it's your kind of entry. Plus: Oscar-season confusion (as always), travel colds that won't quit, and the tease of an upcoming special on the 2025-2026 awards season and your annual “Muggies.” ⸻ Timestamps 00:00 – Start 04:27 – Streaming Picks 04:37 – Heated Rivalry 08:45 – Dhurandhar 13:58 – Skyscraper Live / Free Solo 18:15 – Shelter 29:33 – 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple #Moviewallas #MoviePodcast #Shelter #28YearsLater #BoneTemple #HeatedRivalry #Dhurandhar #FreeSolo #FilmReview #StreamingPicks #TooManyMoviesTooLittleTime

Alex Honnold, the world's most accomplished free solo climber and subject of Oscar-winning Free Solo, just climbed Taipei 101 live on Netflix. In this special live podcast event—our first with a studio audience—we go behind the spectacle to explore what really happened on that building: the unexpected challenges and the mental shift that transformed pressure into joy. We discuss his training philosophy at 40, his evolving relationship with risk and mortality as a father, and why he challenges our arbitrary definitions of what's "dangerous" vs. "normal." Along the way, he makes us examine our own relationship with fear, discomfort, and living in alignment with our values. Alex unites and inspires us all. This conversation illustrates why. Enjoy!

David Baltz started climbing in 1974 when there were only eight climbers in all of Albuquerque. Over five decades, he's witnessed climbing's transformation from a fringe pursuit requiring pitons and commitment...to a commercialized sport with grid-bolted crags and documentaries glorifying free soloing. This episode explores the clean climbing revolution that defined David's early years, the bolting controversies that followed sport climbing's arrival in New Mexico, and what gets lost when safety becomes the priority over experience. We discuss finding partners in an era before Facebook groups, the ethics of retrobolting established trad lines, Alex Honnold's impact on climbing culture, and how David approaches climbing now. Topics include: clean climbing history, New Mexico first ascents, bolting ethics, trad climbing at 69, helmet debates, commercialization of outdoor sports, Free Solo culture, risk versus safety, aging climbers, psychological climbing, sport climbing evolution, and maintaining old school values in modern climbing.Watch the full episode on Youtube#livinglegend #oldschoolclimber---Thanks to our sponsors!LIVSN DesignsCheckout Their Highland Sweater HereUse Code "TCM15" At Checkout for an extra 15% OFF Your OrderHelp Support The Show & Unlock The Ad-Free PodcastResourcesDavid's Mountain Project Profile

Martin Janoschek drops in to talk AMC life, from winter leadership courses to stewarding ski trails at Cardigan Lodge. The crew dives into backcountry ski setups (tele, AT, splitboard), ski-leash lessons learned the hard way, and why lodges feel extra magical when it's stupid cold outside. Anna and Josh recap deep-freeze winter hikes in New Hampshire, sharing hard-earned lessons on pacing, layering, keeping food from freezing, and why slow groups can be colder than you expect. Things get real with a sketchy Mount Cardigan after-dark decision, hypothermia talk, and when turning around is actually the win. Plus: Cultra-Matic makes a comeback as the crew tries to rattle off the 10 Essentials from memory, AMC education gets some love, Patreon supporters get shouted out, and ultrarunning legends, big donations, and big race plans round out the episode.

Get Busy Living PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTChronic Inflammation is a Powerful Predictor of Disease and DeathDr. Mishra explains that mounting evidence—including a major American College of Cardiology scientific statement—shows inflammation, measured by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), predicts long-term cardiovascular risk and mortality more strongly than LDL cholesterol alone. Inflammation is no longer a theoretical concern; it is clinically actionable and central to aging, heart disease, cancer, and dementia risk.Excess Inflammation Accelerates Aging and DiseaseWhile inflammation is essential for healing and fighting infection, chronic or excessive inflammation damages tissues and increases mortality risk. Dr. Mishra emphasizes that inflammation may be one of the best biological markers of aging, making immune balance—not suppression—a critical goal for long-term vitality.30-Day Anti-Inflammatory Challenge Targets the Essentials that Matter MostThe episode introduces a simple, actionable “execute on the essentials” framework:cut 200 calories per day, move 20 more minutes daily, sleep 20 more minutes nightly, and strengthen one in-person social connection each week. These small, disciplined changes can meaningfully lower inflammation and reduce disease and death risk without medications.Four Lifestyle Levers—Diet, Exercise, Sleep, and Connection Work SynergisticallyEating less and less often reduces inflammatory burden; regular aerobic and resistance exercise lowers CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α; adequate sleep both reduces inflammation and improves metabolic control; and social connection directly alters immune-related gene activity. Together, these four levers form a powerful, low-cost “anti-inflammatory quartet”Peak Vitality Requires Identifying Your Personal “Free Solo”Inspired by Alex Honnold's rope-free climb of Taipei 101, Dr. Mishra challenges listeners to define their own “Free Solo”—a deeply personal pursuit that demands long-term discipline, courage, and preparation. Pairing biological vitality (low inflammation) with meaningful purpose unlocks the highest levels of performance and fulfillment. Copyright VyVerse, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Alex Hannold, the famous free solo climber, made history again - Live on Netflix.

Anna and Raven discuss the top 3 stolen items from hotels. Producer Justin on the other hand stayed at a hotel this weekend where he was almost positive, he was leaving with the full-sized products in the bathroom because they were so good.  The Doomsday clock is ticking and may actually be... moving? Raven thinks this is a joke, Anna is a little worried. How would you know end of days are coming? Anna dn Raven discuss.  Anna caught Raven in the act of something she hadn't seen in years during the show yesterday. He was balancing a check. Who does that anymore? They discuss old school habits that are now embarrassing.  Anna has been getting ads for “Culturally 30+ bars”. A dream for women who are too old to party with those in their 20s. Producer Sophia discusses the ways she knows she is in a cultural 30+ club.   Trending today is Sydney Sweeney and her pretty illegal stunt that may have gotten her in more trouble than she imagined it would. The reason she did it checks out, though. HUNGRY EYES! Yes. Anna has them. Her obsession with Harvest Snap Veggie chips has gotten to the point where the scale is on the rise. Who would have thought vegetable chips would fluff you up!  Free Solo took place live this weekend, and Alex made it out alive! Anna and Raven have some thoughts on this whole idea. Anna, Raven, Producer Justin and Producer Sophia put their abilities to the test and attempted to climb a building too. It didn't work.  Mary and Luke's teenage son brings his friends over all the time after school, and they eat everything in the house. Dad has had enough; these kids are eating all their food and groceries are expensive. He wants to ask the kids to leave some cash or tell his son to stop bringing kids to their house. Mom thinks that it's part of being a parent to a teen! Boys eat a lot, and they just need to budget for it. They're not going to limit the amount of chips and soda they buy just because their son is lucky enough to have so many friends. Plus, she likes that they're the “hang out” house.   Donna has a chance to win $500! All she has to do is answer more pop culture questions than Raven in Can't Beat Raven!   

Alex Honnold captivated audiences around the world when he free solo climbed a 1,667 foot skyscraper in Taiwan named Taipei 101. Few people understand what Alex might have been feeling like Dan Goodwin. Forty years ago Dan free solo climbed the CN tower. Now he is talking about what it takes to achieve such a feat.

In honor of Alex Honnold solo climbing the Taipei 101 on Netflix live, we had our 4'9" producer Vanessa solo climb Johnny's standing desk. Was she successful, or did she fall to her death? Watch the livestream HERE for a visual aid. We also got a juicy relationship update from Klein, Ally learns a former middle school friend is now a billionaire. We also brought back the game Tik Tok Toe where we learned how to be an overnight millionaire and how to make a man 'instantly obsessed with you.' And in the divorciest month of the year we vented about spouses in Don't Be A Dick!

You've probably seen the promos on Netflix: superstar climber Alex Honnold will attempt to climb one of the tallest buildings in the world TONIGHT. Live. No ropes. Netflix will air it on a 10-second delay, but that doesn't fully cover all of safety and ethical concerns for what Honnold is doing. Honnold -- considered one of the best climbers in the world -- shot to fame with the Oscar-winning documentary "Free Solo," which documented his no-ropes climb up Yosemite's Dawn Wall. He's the only person to ever free solo the Dawn Wall, considered the holy grail of climbing.

This week, the world's attention is fixed on Alex Honnold as he prepares for his most public and high-stakes challenge to date: Skyscraper Live on Netflix. This Friday, January 23rd, Alex will attempt to become the first person to free solo the 1,667-foot Taipei 101 in Taiwan, scaling the 101-story landmark live in front of millions.Alex joins us to deconstruct the mindset required to perform when the stakes are literally life or death. He challenges the common perception of his "fearlessness," explaining that his mastery isn't the absence of fear, but the result of a decade of meticulous preparation. Alex dives into the "mental switch" required to transition from the grind of training to the total surrender and trust required during a performance.Key Topics Discussed:The 10-Year Rule: Alex explains why he spent 10 years training for El Capitan, ensuring that by the time he stepped onto the wall without a rope, he felt prepared rather than reckless.Managing Fear: A masterclass in differentiating between founded and unfounded fear, and the process of making "scary" feel "comfortable" through practice and visualisation.The Feeling of Mastery: What it truly looks like to perfectly execute a high-performance taskPreparation and Visualization: Alex reveals his process for visualising failure in graphic detail to ensure he is emotionally prepared for any outcome.Legacy and Life Cycles: Now a father of two, Alex reflects on how his upbringing and perfectionist roots shaped him, and how he balances his pursuit of extreme moments with his responsibilities at home.Alex offers an honest look at what it takes to do the thing you've always wanted to do and answer the question: "What's to lose?".Our Partners: Incogni

Free Solo is the documentary about climber Alex Honnold attempting to climb El Capitan — a 3,000-foot rock wall — with no rope.I watched it last night and it did that thing great films do: you don't just enjoy it, you start auditing your own life. Not dramatically — just noticing I was still tense afterwards, like my body was holding onto the consequences. Because it's not really a film about climbing. It's about consequence — and the choice to move forward when there's no second chance.As cyclists, that lands close. We obsess over control in tiny details, yet accept familiar risks without thinking. This episode is about getting honest: separating performance risk from consequence risk, spotting the “uncertainty stack,” and making smarter decisions before luck runs out.Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.roadmancycling.com/2026⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for Not Done Yet.

David Nurse, high-performance coach to NBA All-Stars and Olympic gold medalists, discovered that elite performers don't hope for flow—they engineer it. The secret isn't motivation or talent. It's neuroscience. This isn't vague "find your flow" advice. This is the brain mapping research revealing that flow state occurs at a precise frequency—10 Hz in the Alpha zone—and the specific protocols to train your nervous system to access it on demand. David breaks down why legendary athletes like Kobe Bryant could enter "the zone" during championships, the paradoxical tension required for effortless focus, and the deep practice methodology that builds neural pathways for consistent peak performance. Discover: • The 10 Hz revelation—why flow happens at a measurable brainwave frequency (and how to train your brain to reach it) • Why the 10,000-hour rule is incomplete—the "deep practice" feedback loop that builds myelin and creates mastery • The "bumper bowling" principle—how removing fear of failure unlocks creative genius • Alex Honnold's "Free Solo" mindset—why elite performers visualize disasters, not just success • The TAP trigger for daily flow—Trust, Acceptance, and Presence as the gateway to effortless performance • The Flow Code formula—combining visualization, body scanning, and bilateral tapping to down-regulate your nervous system • Flow beyond athletics—how to access the zone for creative work, presentations, and high-stakes moments Here's what separates amateurs from world-class: amateurs wait for inspiration. Masters train their nervous systems to produce flow on command. If you've ever experienced a moment where everything clicked and wondered why you can't recreate it—this episode decodes the exact neural pathway to get back there.

Mountain climbing is safer when you do it with a climbing partner. If you want to see something really crazy, something that might even bring up some anxiety as you watch it, check out the documentary called Free Solo. This is a National Geographic documentary about a young rock climber named Alex Honnold. His dream was to climb this 3000 foot rock called El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park. Just climbing it is a great achievement for most rock climbers. But Alex Honnold is not like most rock climbers. He wanted to do it without any ropes, and without any safety equipment. That's what “free solo” climbing is. Alex planned and trained extensively for it. And he was successful. My guest today is Dan. Dan loves to climb. One day he was out with his friend and long-time climbing partner, Jim. It was a beautiful day and they were having a great time. That was the day that Dan learned that when you're on the mountain, having a partner there with you can mean the difference between life and death.
