Ohne das "Green Book" wird für Schwarze Familien jede Autofahrt zum Risiko. Der unscheinbare Reiseführer von 1936 weist ihnen den Weg zu sicheren Orten in einem streng getrennten Amerika. Von Veronika; Biermann Bock.
Award-winning composer Kris Bowers is the man behind the musical scores for films like Green Book, King Richard, The Color Purple, and The Wild Robot, as well as TV series like Bridgerton, Mrs. America, and Dear White People. His latest score is for the new animated movie Goat, which follows a small goat named Will who has big dreams about joining the pros to play roarball — a high-intensity sport that's a lot like basketball. Kris joins guest host Garvia Bailey to tell us how he brought some advice from the late Kobe Bryant to the project, why he wasn't worried about writing “serious film music,” and how this movie helped him honour his family roots.

We often spend days looking for one single thread that helps us unravel a story. It often takes even longer when the story is set on the South Side of Chicago. We look for publications, ads, cookbooks, letters, and anything else that would have documented that time period for even a glimpse into what life would be like. One thing that never fails us is the Negro Motroist Green Book. Published between 1936 and 1966, this guidebook offers a great lense into the life of Black Americans at the time. This week, we use the Green Book to trace the enduring legacy and community of Chicago's South Side.Sources: Purchase a copy of the Green Book https://www.smithsonianstore.com/negro-motorist-green-book-compendium-11198/?srsltid=AfmBOopZa2dgrORNstFqQ44PhsM7AKTb3Ed6UYyr68V6-Znp2fW1rKEx New York Public Library Digital Access to The Green Book https://libguides.nypl.org/greenbook/nypldigitalcollections Send a textSupport the showAlso, catch Dario on the new season of Netflix's "High On the Hog" here!!If you have anything you'd like us to talk about on the podcast, food or history, please email us at media@77flavorschi.com WATCH US ON YOUTUBE HERE!

It's Awards Season yet again. Here on the Holmes Movies Podcast that means, it is time for the Alternative Oscars episodes! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode for this series we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognising those who were cruelly overlooked.This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 5th Academy Awards. The event celebrated all the films released between the 1st of August 1931 and the 31st of July 1932. To make things easier for the Holmes Brothers, they decided to only talk about give awards and nominations to the films released only in 1932. The event was held at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California on November 18th 1932. The host was Conrad Nagel. This was the first of three Oscars events in where two films not nominated for Best Picture received more nominations than the actual winner. It was also the year where there was a tie-winner for Best Actor. This was also the last Oscars ceremony where no film won more than two Oscars. It also introduced the Best Short Subject, Cartoon Oscar. The film Flowers and Trees won. It was the first colour film to win an award. Grand Hotel directed by Edmund Goulding won Best Picture. It became the only Best Picture winner to be nominated for that award and nothing else. It was the second of six films to date to win Best Picture without a Best Director nomination. Films like Wings, Driving Miss Daisy, Argo, Green Book and CODA were the other films to win Best Picture without a Best Director nomination. Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written with & directed by Joey Palmroos. The film has been released digitally and also in select cinemas in the US and the UK. In Finland it was released on Apple TV after finishing its limited cinema run and was the Number 1 film for multiple weeks. You can read a review about it here on the Fangoria website. The film is now available to watch in the other Nordic territories like Sweden, Oslo and of course Denmark.

Happy 2026, Vintage Sand fans! Thank you for taking time away from looking for real estate opportunities in Greenland to join us for Episodes 65 and 66, our first of 2026. Herein, Team Vintage Sand returns one last time to the source of some of our most popular episodes: Danny Peary's hard-to-find 1993 classic "Alternate Oscars". In the past, we have used Peary's model to approach the Best Picture Academy Awards from every decade going back to the 1930's. Collect them all! For this episode, we wrap up this series with the most recent complete decade, the 2010's. First, a caveat: we began this podcast eight years ago, in the spring of 2018, which means that we have already discussed many of today's films in a number of different contexts already. We did our Best of the Teens in early 2020, and recently did our Top 10 of the Century so far, wherein many of the films we're talking about today are contained. Add in that we did episodes on the best of 2018 and 2019, respectively, in those years, and you get the sense that we have already covered this ground several times. But like all good film fans, we're completists, so we conclude this series of episodes with these two, which will focus on 2010 to 2014 and 2015 to 2019 respectively. Mercifully, perhaps, these episodes are shorter than most others we've done, simply because, as mentioned, this is terrain we have already covered several times. The teens were clearly a transitional time for film, especially in Hollywood. The foreign market came to dominate, as did the teen market, which led to a kind of lowest common denominator for American film in these years. Throw in the uncertainties created by the rise of streaming and the changes in where and how people watch film, and you have…well, it's still a little too early to tell what the 2010's will look like to film historians, if there are indeed any film historians left. That being said, it's clear that the decade featured some of the greatest films ever made, ones that will stand the test of time and will continue to be watched long into the future. In many ways, the Mexican New Wavers dominated the decade, winning half of the Best Director Oscars for the whole decade: Del Toro for "Shape of Water", Cuarón for "Gravity" and "Roma", and Iñárritu for "Birdman" and "The Revenant". And of course, the stunning triumph of "Parasite" ended a decade in film that many were ready to write off (and got rid of the bad taste left behind by "Green Book" the previous year). It was also a decade that saw the arrival of some wildly innovative and talented filmmakers, among them Chloe Zhao, Ryan Coogler, Ava Duvernay, Jordan Peele, Greta Gerwig, Steve McQueen, and Damien Chazelle, plus amazing directors who transcended often marginalized genres like Ari Aster, Alex Garland, Robert Eggers and Denis Villeneuve. We also saw some great works from directors who came of age in the 90's and early 00's like David Fincher, the Coens, Spike Lee, Christopher Nolan, Todd Haynes and the Andersons, both Wes and PTA divisions. And for the icing on the cake, we got some brilliant work from the old guard Hollywood New Wavers like Martin Scorsese (who just seemed to pick up steam as the decade went on), Steven Spielberg, (at least with" Lincoln"), Terrence Malick and, most surprisingly, Paul Schrader. So make yourselves comfortable, have yourselves one of those lovely pastries from Mendl's, and join us for our final foray into the world of Best Picture Alternate Oscars!
Before the civil rights movement forced America to change, Black Americans had to protect themselves on the road. Today on Trey's Table, we're talking about Victor GREEN—the man who created the Green Book, a survival guide that helped Black families travel safely through segregation. This is a story about ingenuity, dignity, and the quiet resistance that kept people alive. #treystable #blackpodcasts #blackhistory
Sinema kulübümüzün 27inci buluşmasında, yönetmenliğini Tate Taylor'ın yaptığı, başrollerinde Viola Davis, Emma Stone ve Octavia Spencer'ın oynadığı 2011 yapımı dilimize “Duyguların Rengi” olarak çevrilen "The Help" adlı filmi konuştuk.Film, 1960'ların başında Mississippi'de geçiyor ve beyaz ailelerin evlerinde çalışan siyahi hizmetçilerin hikâyelerini genç bir gazeteci adayının kaleme almasını anlatıyor. Kathryn Stockett'in aynı adlı romanından uyarlanan yapım, gündelik hayatta normalleşen ırkçılığı ve sessiz kalmanın bedelini mercek altına alıyor.Film üzerinden ABD'de kölelikten Jim Crow yasalarına, Rosa Parks'tan Martin Luther King'e, Kennedy suikastından 1964 Sivil Haklar Yasası'na uzanan tarihi yolculuğu da sizin için özetledim. Kuzey-Güney arasındaki ırkçılık farklarını, ekonomik çıkarların bu sistemi nasıl beslediğini ve değişimin ne kadar meşakkatli olduğunu merak edenler için paylaştım.Hidden Figures ve Green Book gibi filmlerle birlikte düşündüğümüzde ortaya çıkan tablo çarpıcı: Değişim bireysel cesaretle başlar ama ancak toplu hareketle gerçekleşir.Bu bölümde görüşlerine yer verdiğim arkadaşlarım (07:15) Ferhan Koca, (08:49) Uğur İyidoğan, (10:24) Suat Soy, (11:08) Mete Yurtsever, (11:58) Canan Ataç, (13:55) Mete YurtseverSupport the show

Green Book (2018) at first glance seems like a twist ... a retelling of another Best Picture winner ... Driving Miss Daisy. It's not. This movie is mostly about the connection between two men from different worlds who learn to understand each other during a road trip. It's a very entertaining film ... but looking back, did the Academy get it right and award the right film the top award at the Oscars Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about Green Book as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 2018?Download, listen, and share ALL Rewatching Oscar episodes.SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW Rewatching Oscar:Website: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comApple Podcasts/iTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsiHeart RadioPodchaserPodcast AddictTuneInAlexaAmazon Overcasts Podcast Addict Player FMRSS Feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1815964.rssWebsite: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comSocial Media Links: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, BlueSkyShare your thoughts and suggestions with us through:Facebook Messenger or email us atjack@rewatchingoscar.com or jackferdman@gmail.comMusic by TurpacShow Producer: Jack FerdmanPodcast Logo Design: Jack FerdmanMovie (audio) trailer courtesy of MovieClips Classic TrailersMovie (audio) clips courtesy of YouTubeSupport us by downloading, sharing, and giving us a 5-star Rating.

Greg and Ed explore the difference between worship that is objectively real and worship designed to produce feelings, using C.S. Lewis's famous critique of “The Green Book” as their launching point. They contrast a contemporary evangelical Christmas Eve production—where success is measured by how moved the audience feels—with the Catholic Midnight Mass, where Christ's sacrifice is offered whether anyone feels anything or not.

Sebastian Maniscalco is consistently one of the highest-grossing stand-up comedians in the country. With his Netflix special ‘Is It Me?' and his autobiographical movie ‘About My Father' co-starring Robert De Niro, he's on the verge of finally becoming a household name. In this episode, Maniscalco opens up about doubling down on nostalgia and (mostly) avoiding controversy on stage. He also talks about how the comedy world has changed for better and worse since he got his start in the late ‘90s, shares stories from the sets of ‘Green Book' and ‘The Irishman' and explains how he decided to embrace the most embarrassing moment of his career on Jimmy Fallon's ‘Tonight Show.'This episode was originally published on December 6, 2022.Follow Sebastian Maniscalco on Instagram @sebastiancomedy Follow Matt Wilstein on Bluesky @mattwilstein Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram @lastlaughpodWatch full episodes of The Last Laugh podcast on the Daily Beast's YouTube channelHighlights from this episode and others at TheDailyBeast.com Hosted on Acast.

The November 19 edition of the AgNet News Hour delivered one of the most insightful tech-focused interviews of the season as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill welcomed Steven Pistoresi, General Manager of On-Farm Solutions for Semios. What followed was a deep dive into pest control, water management, automation, and how Semios' suite of products is helping growers tackle today's toughest challenges while preparing for tomorrow. Pistoresi, a familiar name to Valley sports fans from his standout baseball days at San Joaquin Memorial and Cal Berkeley, has taken his competitive drive straight into ag innovation. He told listeners that Semios' mission is simple: make farming more predictable, more profitable, and more sustainable using real-time data and smart automation. Semios, which manages over 100 million acres globally across its family of brands, is best known on the West Coast for its mating disruption technology—a pheromone-based system that prevents pests like navel orangeworm, vine mealybug, California red scale, and codling moth from reproducing. “It's exactly what it sounds like,” Pistoresi said with a laugh. “We make it very hard for the pests to find each other. It's sustainable, effective, and it reduces chemical reliance.” Each orchard or vineyard receives one emitter per acre, installed and serviced by Semios' own field team. “Growers don't have to do a thing,” Pistoresi said. “We handle installation, mapping, monitoring, and maintenance. It gives growers peace of mind and removes labor headaches.” Beyond pest control, Semios is now a full-stack on-farm technology company through partnerships with brands like WiseConn, Agworld, Alltrack, and Greenbook. Weather stations, soil moisture probes, irrigation automation, frost control tools, and pest monitoring all feed into the Semios platform, giving growers a complete real-time view of their fields. “You can sit in your truck and run your entire irrigation system from your phone,” Pistoresi said. “We're giving growers the ability to use water more efficiently, reduce labor, and make decisions based on live data instead of guesswork.” Nick and Josh noted how dramatically farming has changed since Pistoresi's grandfather grew mushrooms in the Valley. “You can't farm like grandpa did,” Pistoresi agreed. “There's too much at stake now—water shortages, labor costs, environmental rules. Today's farmer has to be smarter, faster, and more innovative.” What makes Semios stand out, he said, is its people. “Our field team takes pride in their work. Everything we install—every emitter, every sensor—affects a real family farm. We know that.” He encouraged growers curious about cutting costs, improving sustainability, or upgrading their technology to reach out. “We love talking to growers. Even if you're not sure what you need, we'll help you figure it out,” he said. The interview wrapped with Papagni praising the Semios team. “Every time we see them at shows, everyone is smiling. That tells you everything you need to know.” Pistoresi laughed, saying, “We just love what we do. Agriculture is who we are. Helping growers succeed is the whole point.”

On the last four episodes of the Profile, we have discussed the importance of understanding and living in accordance with the fact that we as human beings are intentionally created by God, in His image. When we lose sight of this central truth about our humanity, much moral and societal confusion and many evils will soon follow. If naturalism is true, then morality and virtue are mere sentiments, not anything objectively true or real. Literary scholar and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis recognized what individual and cultural consequences would follow in the wake of moral relativism. On this episode of Apologetics Profile, we discuss C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man with Lewis scholar and author Dr. Michael Ward and how Lewis's thoughts are still very much relevant for our time. From michaelward.netMichael Ward is an English literary critic and theologian. He works at the University of Oxford where he is an associate member of the Faculty of Theology and Religion. He is the author of the award-winning and best-selling Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis (Oxford University Press) and of After Humanity: A Guide to C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man (Word on Fire Academic); he is the co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to C.S. Lewis (Cambridge University Press). Though based at Oxford in his native England, Dr Ward is also employed as Professor of Apologetics at Houston Christian University, Texas, teaching one course per semester as part of the online MA program in Christian Apologetics.Free Four-Page Articles From Watchman FellowshipCharles Darwin Carl Sagan's CosmosNaturalism Deconstruction FREE: We are also offering a subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/Free.PROFILE NOTEBOOK: Order the complete collection of Watchman Fellowship Profiles (over 600 pages -- from Astrology to Zen Buddhism) in either printed or PDF formats here: www.watchman.org/notebook.

What keeps Atlanta's Council 44 reps awake at night? Two things: educating a largely new pilot group before Section 6 and stopping off-book deal-making with Scheduling that erodes unity and pay protections. In this candid roundtable, Captain Tony Rohloff, Captain Shawn Kellett, and First Officer Maggie Eickhoff explain why the Contract History and Contract Comparison aren't “homework” - they're essential to a strong opener - and how your narrative responses in the contract survey directly shape MEC direction and Negotiating Committee priorities. We break down the coverage ladder, why making deals for yourself cuts the line for everyone else, and how mentoring in the cockpit can curb bad habits before they spread. You'll also hear a clear playbook for engagement: where to find surveys and polling, how resolutions flow into the “Green Book” for negotiations, and why participation matters even when things feel good on the line. We close with base-level ways to plug in and a reminder that unity isn't a slogan; it's a series of small, contract-compliant choices we make every day.
