On November 7, 1980, Steve McQueen — the massive movie star whose minimalist swagger earned him the nickname “The King of Cool” — died at the age of 50 following complications from cancer surgery. A countercultural icon who bridged old Hollywood and the rebellious New Hollywood era, McQueen embodied a new kind of leading man: taciturn, restless, and unmistakably modern. From his breakout role in The Magnificent Seven to era-defining performances in Bullitt, The Great Escape, and Papillon, McQueen reshaped action cinema with a raw physicality and anti-authoritarian edge that made him one of the biggest stars in the world.

Happy Thursday, you pop culture junkies. This week, the world feels heavy. Brooke opens the show by acknowledging the heartache coming out of Minneapolis and sets the stage for why, right now, we all need a brief, necessary escape. We're taking a deep breath and diving into the distractions that are keeping us afloat. In this episode: • The Beckham Saga Continues: We are back on the Beckham beat. Brooke breaks down the incredible memes surrounding Victoria Beckham dancing at her son's wedding. Is Posh Spice the relatable icon we didn't know we needed? • The Dr Pepper Miracle: We discuss the power of TikTok and the creator who created a viral jingle that became a national ad campaign. Proof that posting your drafts actually pays off. • The Drama & The Random: A quick touch on the Blake Lively / Taylor Swift chatter, followed by a chaotic roundup of things living in Brooke's brain: exploding trees, Mamdani, Heated Rivalry, and yes... Lego Crocs. • Harry's House in NYC: Harry Styles is doing 30 nights in New York City. We process the logistics, the stamina, and the absolute hysteria. • A Final Word: Shame on you, Tim Cook. Just... shame.

In this message, we explored how followers of Jesus respond to offense. Rather than reacting with anger or seeking revenge, Scripture calls us to bless, pursue peace, and examine our own hearts first. Romans 12 reminds us to do our part in peacemaking while trusting God with justice and outcomes beyond our control.
This powerful exploration of Acts 12 takes us into one of the most dramatic moments in early church history—Peter's miraculous escape from prison.

Frequently named by filmmakers and critics as one of the greatest films ever made, Jean Renoir's classic tale of French soldiers in a World War I German POW camp and their daring escape is now almost 90 years old. Its importance to film history is certain — but is it still fun to watch? While much of Grand Illusion is unique, especially its bittersweet farewell to the pre-WWI European aristocratic order, it has directly influenced countless movies, including The Great Escape and The Shawshank Redemption, does it offer any surprises or unexpected delights to a new generation? Get set for an impassioned discussion across generations where one thing becomes clear: this film's preoccupations are immensely relevant to our world today.

Get More LVWITHLOVE Content at LVwithLOVE.com Become a partner or contact us On this episode of the Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast, we sit down with Allentown born trombonist, composer, arranger, and educator Brody Segan to talk about his original music, his independent label Brodacious Music, and his next big step as a showband musician with Royal Caribbean. Brody has been busy releasing a string of projects, including the country rock single Make Lovin Great Again, the soundtrack to the short action film The Great Escape, and his final 2025 single Im Kinda Busy Now, a 1980s inspired funk blues song about unrequited love that also encourages getting to know the people in our everyday lives. Under his Brodacious Music label, Brody is building a catalog that pulls from country, rock, funk, blues, film music, and big band writing. Make Lovin Great Again was released August 1 on all major streaming services, with artwork by his father and an animated lyric video by Miami based animator Juan Menache that earned a Special Mention from the Global Shorts Film Festival. Brody and collaborator Michael Ford promoted the track on PA Live in Wilkes Barre. Im Kinda Busy Now followed on October 24 as the final 2025 Brodacious Music single. Brody describes it as a 1980s inspired funk blues song about unrequited love that also encourages getting to know those in our everyday lives. The track features music and lyrics by Brody Segan, mixed and mastered by Michael Ford, with Segan on lead and backing vocals and keys, Ford on electric guitar, electric bass, and cowbell, and Denisse Ferrara on backing vocals. Beyond his singles, Brody composed the soundtrack for Sukavision's short action film The Great Escape, recorded live at the Frost School of Music's Weeks Recording Studio, and he continues to write for large ensemble. His big band chart Honk on This, a saxophone feature in the style of 1950s rock and roll, is available through JW Pepper. Since graduating from UM in May 2025, Brody has stacked experience as both player and educator, including serving as low brass faculty for the PA Jazz Institute at Misericordia University, performing at the 20th Annual Scranton Jazz Festival, and working with groups across eastern and central Pennsylvania such as Panchito Bongo y Su Orquesta, Jessee Hernandez of La Maña Brava, Schutzengiggles Oompah Band, and M&J Big Band. Next up, he performs with the Scranton Jazz Festival Big Band for their Christmas Spectacular and then begins a contract as a showband trombonist with Royal Caribbean starting December 14, performing nightly while continuing to write and release new music under Brodacious Music.

The best is yet to come.
The Universe speaks.Do you listen?Or do you ignore?What's the frequency and aim of your internal antenna?Do you pause and bask in the mystery of this Earth?Or are you addicted to buzzing distractions and screens all the time?This chapter of The Great Escape demonstrates...if you listen...and observe...you will hear and you will see. The baseball filmField Of Dreams really dug to some deeper levels with 'If You Build It...He Will Come'.On May 31, 2025...Phantom Phil had a very similar moment. It wasn't a voice in his head but a series of rapid synchronicities that came on his radar at his lowest point of a chaotic and messy spring season. It altered the course of his journey and his life and he condensed it into one thirty minute tale consisting of this show's chapter. Things will never be the same after this discovery...and maybe...just maybe it could be a similar game changer for you too...as we enter the year of the Horse (The Fire Horse to be exact!) look out...as things are about to get fun...maybe a little bit dangerous with this new-found power and knowledge.Watch the episode on Rumble here:https://rumble.com/user/UnexplainedincConnect with Unexplained Inc. here:https://www.unexplainedinc.com/
There are movies you enjoy, movies you love, and then there are Life Changing Movies, the ones that hit you at the exact right moment and quietly shape how you see the world. In this special Born to Watch episode, Whitey and Gow sit down on the couch for a rare daytime recording to unpack the films that genuinely changed them, not just as movie fans, but as people.Originally planned as a solo episode, Whitey quickly realised this topic needed conversation, reflection, and a bit of friendly back-and-forth. What follows is a deeply personal walk through cinema history, from classic black and white films through to modern blockbusters, with each movie tied to a specific time, place, and feeling. These are not rankings, not reviews, and not necessarily the “greatest films of all time”. These are the films that left a permanent mark.The rules were simple. The films had to be movies Born to Watch has never reviewed before, and they had to be experienced in the order Whitey first saw them. What unfolds is a cinematic timeline that mirrors growing up, discovering new genres, and realising that movies can be far more than mere entertainment. They can be confronting, comforting, terrifying, inspiring, and sometimes completely overwhelming.The episode kicks off with The African Queen, a film Whitey first watched as a kid with his Nan, and a gateway into old cinema that opened the door to classics like Casablanca and Captain's Courageous. From there, the conversation moves into The Great Escape, a film both hosts hold in incredibly high regard, not just for its iconic moments, but for its storytelling, tension, and emotional weight that still holds up decades later.As the timeline moves forward, the episode touches on cultural moments that defined entire generations. Seeing Batman (1989) in a packed cinema, complete with Prince's soundtrack and Jack Nicholson's Joker, becomes more than just a movie memory. It becomes a snapshot of adolescence, crushes, embarrassment, and the shared chaos of opening night at the local cinema.The conversation does not shy away from darker territory. Films like Deliverance, The Evil Dead, Psycho, and Schindler's List are discussed not for shock value, but for the way they challenged expectations and forced viewers to confront uncomfortable truths. These are films that stay with you long after the credits roll, sometimes in ways you do not fully understand until years later.Blockbusters also have their place. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is remembered as a near-perfect cinematic experience, combining groundbreaking visual effects with emotional storytelling and characters that audiences genuinely cared about. It is a reminder that big movies can still have heart and depth when done correctly..The episode closes by reflecting on films driven by dialogue and ideas, particularly JFK, a movie that became comfort viewing for Whitey despite its heavy subject matter. It represents how movies can evolve with us, revealing new layers each time we revisit them.This is an episode about memory, growth, and the quiet power of cinema. Whether you agree with every pick or not, these Life Changing Movies will almost certainly spark memories of your own. #BornToWatch #LifeChangingMovies #MovieMemories #FilmPodcast #CinemaLovers #MovieNostalgia #ClassicFilms #FilmDiscussion #MovieFans #PodcastAustralia

If next year were a movie, what kind of film would it be? Action? Adventure? Redemption? A rom-com with questionable decisions and a killer soundtrack? Whatever it is — here's the truth: no magical hand is writing it for you. You get to take the damn pen. You're the writer, the director, and the lead. In this follow-up to The Hero's Journey, April hands you the director's chair for your own life. Too many leaders and entrepreneurs drift into another year by default — replaying the same story, following the same plot, repeating the same dialogue. But what if 2025 wasn't a sequel? What if you wrote something entirely new? In this episode, April challenges you to choose your genre, claim your pen, and direct a story that actually excites you. Because your life isn't a rerun — it's a production in progress. Key Takeaways 1️⃣ You Are the Director of Your Story No one else gets to decide the tone, the plot, or the outcome. You hold the pen. 2️⃣ Drift vs. Direction Most of us live other people's priorities — reacting instead of creating. 2025 doesn't have to be a rerun; it can be your reboot. 3️⃣ The Coaching Call that Sparked It During a group session, April asked: "If next year were a movie, what would it be?" William said The Greatest Showman — bold moves, bigger stages. Daniel said The Pursuit of Happyness — grit and purpose over glamour. Katrina said The Wizard of Oz — the journey home to her own power. Each one picked a story that matched their growth season. 4️⃣ The Plot Twist for You So, what's your movie? Action — courage to leap into what you've delayed. Redemption — rebuilding after loss or burnout. Release — letting go of control, perfectionism, or old identities. Rated R for real life — raw, unfiltered, fully alive. 5️⃣ April's Reminder You're not behind — you're just busy filming the wrong movie. If last year was Groundhog Day, make this year The Great Escape. If last year was Cast Away, make this one Homecoming. Quotes "No producer is coming to save your script — you already hold the pen." "You're not behind; you're just stuck in the wrong movie." "If last year was a sequel, this year can be your reboot." "You don't need permission to start — just courage to claim the pen." Challenge for Pivoters Take ten quiet minutes this week — no phone, no noise. Write the title of your 2025 movie. Ask yourself:
Send us a textWe close out our theme of “The Great Escape” with 1971's Malpertuis (also known as The Legend of Doom House), a relatively obscure Belgian fantasy film about a sailor trapped in the mansion of his dying uncle (played by the legendary Orson Welles). The sailor and the fellow residents of the mansion are fighting for the uncle's inheritance, and since Karl's shakeup was that his pick must include a non human character, let's just say the residents are not what they seem. We also have our usual discussions, including whether any of us have ever inherited anything. So come join us, but please know that you may never leave!

Send us a textIt's our penultimate theme of the year and this round we are bringing to you "The Great Escape": Movies where characters are escaping—physically, mentally, or emotionally—from something or someone, whether it's prison, oppression, or a difficult situation.The shake-up for this week is: Must Have an Ensemble Cast. The film should feature an ensemble cast, meaning multiple characters with significant, interwoven storylines.Well, given the requirements how could we not pick the 1963 classic "The Great Escape"? With its ensemble cast of Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough and more, the title even matches the name of the theme exactly.

The Celtics vs. Clippers matchup quickly turned into a tale of two games, starting with an early 24-point Boston blow-out. After going up 37-30 in the first, the Celtics opened the third quarter with an 8-0 run, extending their lead to a seemingly insurmountable 71-49. However, a massive 23-7 run by the Clippers immediately closed the gap, turning the blowout into a nail-biter and setting the stage for a dramatic fourth quarter with the Celtics barely hanging on to a 90-85 lead. The final minutes were defined by clutch plays and chaos, with the Celtics needing a late 9-0 run to hold off the charging Clippers. JB (who scored 13 points in the fourth) and Derrick White (who hit a monster three and two huge free throws) were key, but it was the final seconds that sealed the win. After two incredible back-to-back threes from James Harden made the score 119-118, Payton Pritchard hit two final free throws to secure the 121-118 victory. Tune in as we break down the spectacular collapse and the thrilling finish that saw the Celtics ultimately prevail.This podcast is brought to you by me, Guy DePlacido.

Imagine watching a pot of water with frogs in it. The city adds a little heat — higher taxes, new regulations, moral lectures — and waits to see what happens. At first, nothing. The frogs get used to it. Then one day the temperature crosses a line, and they jump. That's how modern economies lose their wealth. Not with protests, not with revolutions — but with relocation.In the past, money was trapped. Rockefeller couldn't just move Standard Oil to Singapore. The state had leverage. That's why we could run top tax rates near 90 percent in the 1950s — and still fund highways, NASA, and free public universities. But we deregulated, digitized, and globalized, and suddenly money turned into vapor. Now it flows wherever the vibe is better.Today, every governor plays host instead of sheriff. They beg for headquarters, sports teams, rich residents. Remember Amazon HQ2? That wasn't a competition — it was a collective confession. Cities have to woo wealth because they can't hold it anymore. Modern taxation isn't punishment; it's marketing.And it's not just billionaires. It's every dual-income family earning mid-six figures — the real tax base. They can move to Florida, Texas, or just twenty minutes north to Westchester. If you make them feel like villains, they'll leave quietly, and when they do, you'll lose the revenue that funds the compassion.I want cities to care for people — I believe in that deeply. But compassion without arithmetic is just performance art. If we want social programs that last, we have to keep the contributors from leaving. Make prosperity feel safe, not shameful.The stadiums, the Olympic bids, the waterfront makeovers — they're not just vanity. They're bait. The trick is pretending it's about culture while it's really about capital.That's the truth nobody likes to say out loud: in 2025, the rich don't live in cities; cities live under them.It's not the 19th century anymore. The world of heavy money and civic loyalty is gone. What's left is the great escape — quiet, legal, and constant — and the only cities that will survive are the ones smart enough to keep the frogs comfortable.

Are Dunfermline Athletic finally starting to click under Neil Lennon? As Stenhousemuir stumble in League One could Inverness be about to stroll away with the title? And can Edinburgh City still pull off “The Great Escape” of Scottish football in League Two? This podcast contains some language which audiences may find mildly offensive.

Welcome back to The Good Life, our teaching series on the Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on the Mount has 3 main sections. The center of this multi-layered structure is The Lord's Prayer–which follows the two greatest commandments—Love God and Love your neighbor. This is the prayer of a revolution. When we pray The Lord's Prayer, we're dethroning ourselves as king of our lives, and we're enthroning Jesus as our new King. Our God-mission is not to go to Heaven but to bring Heaven down to Earth. To expand the boundaries of His Kingdom in this world. Christianity isn't the Great Escape–but the Great Expansion. Talk 7 explores The Lord's Prayer line by line, and we'll see how revolutionary this prayer is. The key message of Talk 7 is: Expand God's Territory.

Click here to try it out!Jennifer Lawrence goes full-send comedy in No Hard Feelings, playing Maddie — a broke Montauk local hired by uptight parents to “de-awkward” their 19-year-old son before college. The setup's spicy, the execution's funnier than it has any right to be, and yes, we talk about that beach fight.What we dig intoJ-Law in chaos mode: fearless physical comedy, tight timing, and why this role works because it's her.Awkward vs. raunchy: does the film land its sweet/icky tightrope walk?Age-gap discourse without the sermon: how the script dodges creepiness and pivots to loneliness, class, and late adolescence.Set-pieces that actually bang: the piano “Maneater” scene, the “prom do-over,” the Buick-from-hell, and the naked beach mayhem.Montauk & money: gentrification, property taxes, and the gig-economy grind baked into the jokes.Verdict: better than its schlocky premise suggests — and a reminder Lawrence is funny on purpose.This week's Top 5: BREAKSWe stretch “breaks” until it snaps:Title breaks: Point Break, obviously.Bone/ballistic breaks: Chan, Cruise, Wick… and the arm-wrestle in The Fly.Wind breaks: Blazing Saddles, Swiss Army Man, Dumb & Dumber (bring your nose pegs).Fourth-wall breaks: Ferris Bueller, Deadpool, Wayne's World.Breakfasts & breakdowns: from Groundhog Day to Uncle Buck pancakes and the cinematic “dad's late for work” trope.Breakdancing: Breakin' and the all-timer subtitle, Electric Boogaloo.Prison breaks: Shawshank, Escape from Alcatraz, The Great Escape.The chaotic quiz (because of course)A rapid-fire “Breakdown” quiz that swerves mid-question — Kurt Russell lore, movies with bridges, snacks on road trips, and one wildly specific license-plate memory test. It almost doesn't work. That's the point.Listener shout-outsFeedback on our Top 5 Copies episode (clones, doubles, and Single White Female trauma) plus a few deep-cut recs from the Bad Dads community.
