Tonight on NJ Spotlight News, a federal judge in Pennsylvania has ruled that Alina Habba has no legal authority to serve as New Jersey's U.S. attorney. Plus, Hurricane Erin barreled up the Jersey coast, causing major flooding along the Shore, and forcing some residents to evacuate. Also, Governor Phil Murphy signs legislation to bring more solar power onto the grid to try and reduce your electric bills. And, Ukrainian refugees here in the Garden State share their hopes and fears for their country, as diplomatic meetings show little progress towards peace.

Tonight on NJ Spotlight News, the race for New Jersey's next governor is a tight one, with the latest poll showing Democrat Mikie Sherrill holding a slight edge over Republican Jack Ciattarelli. Plus, dangerous waves threaten the Jersey Shore as Hurricane Erin makes a run up the East Coast. Also, ICE raids ramp up across the Garden State as immigration authorities detain dozens of warehouse workers. And, the "Summer of Hell" for PATH riders continues, but in South Jersey there are new promises of expanding commuter services.

Officer Omar Habib pleaded not guilty after prosecutors accused him of placing a man in an illegal chokehold. But the Bronx DA's office says Habib can be heard on his body camera recording asking himself, "what'd you do, bro?" Meanwhile, Jersey City residents are paying hundreds of dollars to apply for affordable housing. Mayoral candidate Bill O'Dea wants the fees to be eliminated. Finally, Governor Phil Murphy says Erin will miss the Garden State by a "substantial amount," but he's warning residents to avoid going in the water while the hurricane passes by.

On this week's episode of The Video Store Podcast, I'm recommending four movies. They're all from the 1980s and 1990s and all have some connection to my home state of New Jersey, even if it's a loose one. These aren't big studio classics. They're weirder, smaller, and have built and kept loyal followings for decades.The Toxic Avenger (1984) Made by Troma Entertainment, this is probably their most well known film. It's low budget, violent, and absurd. It was shot mostly in New Jersey, including many areas near where I grew up. The studio itself was co-founded by Lloyd Kaufman, who grew up in NYC but often filmed across the Hudson for budget reasons. The Toxic Avenger became Troma's mascot and eventually got cartoon spin-offs, comics, and a stage musical.The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)This one is hard to explain in a sentence. Peter Weller plays a neurosurgeon who's also a rock star and physicist. It's sci-fi with a cast that includes Jeff Goldblum, Ellen Barkin, and John Lithgow. The film didn't do well when it came out but has built a steady fanbase over time. While it wasn't filmed in New Jersey, it is rife with Garden State references.Eddie and the Cruisers (1983) This is a fictional band movie that takes itself seriously. It was shot in various New Jersey shore towns. The soundtrack, especially the song “On the Dark Side,” ended up doing better than the film. Led by Michael Paré plays Eddie, the film has a solid cast, but its the music that helped it build an audience. Most of that happened because it became available pretty quickly on HBOClerks (1994)Kevin Smith's first film. Shot in black and white for under $30,000. He filmed it at the Quick Stop convenience store in Leonardo, New Jersey, where he worked at the time. This movie launched his career and started what would be known as the View Askewniverse. It's mostly just two guys talking about things that interest them in intense and funny ways, but it worked. These films offer more than just entertainment. They provide a look back at different moments when movies could be made with local flavor and for these ones, a personal vision. That connection to place and the willingness to work within its constraints created films that continue to matter because they show how stories are shaped by where they come from just as much as who tells them.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

The second part of Rob and Producer Jason's journey along the West Branch of the Delaware River. They drift for two days, traveling from Deposit to Balls Eddy, fish the evening hatch, then sleep in the back of their cars. Rob narrates his observations of the cold river and its environment as he takes in the sights around him. Trout are feeding, rise forms dimple the surface, and the duo cast imitations of caddis and mayflies to the rising fish throughout their trip. The first day features windy weather and  bad shore lunch. The second day sees calm wind currents, a reduction in anglers on the river, another dodgy lunch, and a beautiful sunset. The third day turns out to be a washout as a massive thunderstorm stalls over the mountains. Rob says goodbye to Jason and makes his way to New Jersey to meet up with his girlfriend and her cousins. He hadn't anticipated spending the afternoon by the trout streams of the Garden State. Old Lady Forever Instagram Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send us a textThe unexpected journey from non-hunter to passionate outdoorsman lies at the heart of our conversation with Joe Arabia from Northern Jersey Outdoors. Having only started hunting six years ago at age 30, Joe offers a refreshing perspective that breaks from the typical "lifelong hunter" narrative that dominates outdoor media.Joe's story begins with a surprise 30th birthday gift – apprentice hunting permits from his cousin who had been trying to get him into the woods for years. That first hunt, watching a doe approach through lightly falling snow, his heart pounding so hard he could barely hold his shotgun steady, changed everything. "It opened up a different part of my brain," Joe explains, "I can't picture living without it anymore." This transformation from complete novice to successful trophy hunter provides a roadmap for late-blooming outdoorsmen everywhere.We dive deep into the unique challenges of hunting Northern New Jersey, where mature bucks are scarce, predator pressures are high, and deer populations are concentrated in suburban areas where hunting isn't permitted. Joe shares the thrilling story of his 133-inch buck, taken during the rut after calling in the dominant deer who came charging in to chase off a younger rival. The conversation flows through tactical discussions about saddle hunting versus traditional tree stands, the effectiveness of different hunting strategies in the Garden State, and the complex relationship between hunting pressure and deer behavior. Whether you're hunting the crowded Northeast or just curious about regional differences in deer patterns, Joe's insights reveal how adaptability and persistence lead to success.Ready to elevate your hunting game?

For nearly three centuries, the Jersey Devil has terrorized New Jersey's Pine Barrens with its glowing red eyes and leathery wings, but the monster's true origins lie not in supernatural birth, but in a 17th-century religious scandal. When Quaker settler Daniel Leeds was branded "Satan's harbinger" for publishing controversial almanacs, his family name became forever linked to the devil—transforming a community dispute into America's most enduring cryptid legend.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: Deep in the heart of New Jersey's Pine Barrens lurks a legend that has haunted the Garden State for nearly three centuries. The Jersey Devil, a creature of nightmares with leathery wings and glowing red eyes, was born from a curse in the 1700s and has endured ever since – with sightings still taking place. (From Leeds to Lore, The Jersey Devil) *** In the mid-1970s, a terrifying predator stalked the streets of Oakland County, Michigan, abducting and murdering four innocent children. For nearly half a century, the identity of the Oakland County Child Killer has eluded investigators, leaving a trail of anguish, conspiracy theories, and unanswered questions in its wake. It's a cold case that continues to haunt the community, as justice never came. (The Child Predator of Oakland County) *** The Sabretooth Clan… a group of modern-day vampires who blend seamlessly into society by day but embrace their nocturnal alter egos by night. With custom fangs, vintage attire, and a unique philosophy, these "lifestylers" host extravagant balls, perform rituals, and even have their own spiritual pantheon – all while maintaining a strict no-blood-drinking policy. What is it like to live as a vampire? (What Is It Like To Live As a Vampire?) *** In 1864 Canton, Ohio, a romance between German immigrant Ferdinand Hoffman and local girl Caroline Yost spiraled into a tale of deception, abuse, and ultimate tragedy. Their ill-fated union, marred by Hoffman's criminal past and violent tendencies, culminated in a shocking church stabbing and a dramatic manhunt. (The Canton Church Murder) *** From fiery pits to Satan's domain, our modern conception of hell is a tapestry woven from centuries of art, literature, and religious interpretation. But how much of what we believe about the underworld actually aligns with biblical teachings? We'll look at some common misconceptions about hell, and discover how our cultural understanding of eternal damnation often diverges from scriptural truths.
