***Trigger, alert/content warning: This episode includes graphic descriptions of sexual assault, especially related to college and  parties and acquaintance rape. Please visit the NSVRC.org for help, information, resources, and support. As April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, this week’s podcast episode finds Becky and Merie diving headlong into the world of college parties, alcohol, consent, rape, and revenge, with the Oscar-nominated movie Promising Young Woman taking center stage. Along the way they address the burning questions you didn’t know you had, like: Can a sports bra cause you to injure one of your lats? Also, what is the exact location of a lat and how could anyone possibly know that? Why does Merie keep trying to give Becky a stroke?  Why is Becky finally inspired to reference her blog, veraciousvoyager.com? Is the state legislature of Minnesota ever going to come to its senses about this issue? And same goes for Hollywood… Do people really go to the laundry room and NOT expect to be molested? (hint: YES, you moron.) What pickup line makes Becky want to commit a Promising Young Woman-type act? What is Merie threatening to draw on Becky’s face the next time she’s passed out? What are the verrrrrry explicit directions Becky gives to one particular writer from the National Review as for what he can do to himself? Come for the ladies’ athletic wear terror. Stay for the ways that you, too, can stop yourself from raping someone. (hint: don’t do it.) Sources for this episode include:  Becky’s Veracious Voyager blogs like this one on rape prevention. 9gag.com’s Rape prevention checklist for dudes. Washington Post.

So when we prepped the episode, we made damned sure to ask every single burning question that’s been bending our brains, probably since the start of our podcast, but certainly since the start of this pandemic. Was that fair? To ask the impossible in a 1 hour interview? To not only expect answers, but entertaining ones at that? Luckily for us, Anne Thompson is Anne Thompson, and she blew us away with her responses. So make sure you all follow Anne on Twitter @AKStanwyck, buy her book “The $11 Billion Year: From Sundance to the Oscars, an Inside Look at the Changing Hollywood System, read all her work via Thompson on Hollywood at IndieWire, and listen to her podcast, IndieWire: Screen Talk with co-host Eric Kohn. Anne Thompson is the quintessential Hollywood insider, she’s a globe trotting film journalist of all the festivals, and she’s certainly one of our go-to awards pundits. Our MMO Interviews format kicks off with some Oscars talk as we beg Anne to elaborate on some scary existential questions she & Eric raised on their latest Screen Talk. We then ask Anne about her career in the business from her past life as a publicist for awards level films to even better ones like Halloween III: Season of the Witch (@ us!). Why did she transition into film journalism, what are the golden rules of covering this industry, & how did she find such a wonderful home at IndieWire? Anne then takes us through the film festival circuit from Sundance & Minari’s awards profile to what SXSW is attempting to do with Amazon Prime, to the options Cannes may have later this summer, all the way back to how the Oscars might survive. How much power have streaming services gained, does Premium VOD work, and is Anne hopeful about the state of female directors in Hollywood? Do not miss this one, MMO’ers. As always, we wanna hear your thoughts. We’re @MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail.

In this message, we begin a deep journey into the prophetic words of Christ found in Matthew 24.  Why?  Because we are truly living in the last of the last days and it would do us well to see what our Lord has to say about the events that precede His coming.  And we will especially look at the first sign Jesus told us would point to the beginning of the end, deception.  That's right, deception is planáō in the Greek and means "to cause to wander, to be led astray, to mislead, to seduce, to cause to err."  Or, simply put, good old-fashioned deception. Which raises just a few questions. How are we being deceived today?And, if we are being deceived, how would we know?Are there other places in the Scriptures that warn us against deception?What kind of deception can we expect?And what was the specific focus of the deception Jesus spoke about? How Important is the Coming (and Present) Deception To see how rampant deception is in our society, and as a sign of the end, look at how many times Jesus spoke about it in Matthew 24: And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.  For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many." - Matthew 24:5. "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many" - Matthew 24:11. And how powerful will that deception be? "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect" - Matthew 24:24. Did you catch that?  If it were possible (and we know that it's not), even the elect, those chosen and sealed by Christ, would be deceived.  It's gonna be bad. Who Do You Trust? One final question regarding trust and deception.  Ask yourself this one question:  Who do you trust?  If you're honest, your answer may shock you. Do you trust your government?The media?  Hollywood?Do you trust what you read in the news or on Facebook?Do you trust what you are taught in school?Do you trust our economic system in this country?Do you trust the church?The family?Do you trust your friends or spouse? There is so much more to talk about regarding deception.  To find out more, keep listening. The following is a study on Matthew 24:1-4.
