David Cronenberg's The Fly (1986) stars Jeff Goldblum as Seth Brundle, a brilliant scientist who creates a teleportation process using telepods. Geena Davis, who was Goldblum's real-life partner during the filming, plays the ambitious journalist Veronica who falls in love with Brundle. Coming in at approximately an hour and 36 minutes, Cronenberg's remake of the 1958 movie (which was based on a 1957 short story) packs a lot in, getting right to the mad scientist's lab then plenty of body horror, experiments with flesh, and a bizarre transformation. Brundle, who teleports himself during a drunken pity party, did so with a fly on board. Since the computer doesn't know what to do with these two separate entities, it fuses them, resulting in Brundlefly, and utter tragedy. Daisy Koenig, a graduate of Winthrop University's design program, talks about what makes Cronenberg's The Fly so memorable and why unhappy endings are the best kind.-Daisy Koenig, a graduate of Winthrop University's design program, is a freelance illustrator and graphic designer based in Charleston, SC. She just finished painting her first mural for the software engineering company Modus21 and continues to illustrate for a variety of clients.https://daisykoenig.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/daisykoe/https://www.instagram.com/daisykoenigart/-The Fly (1986)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091064/https://people.com/movies/geena-davis-says-short-marriage-jeff-goldblum-was-magical-exclusive/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000343/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0486228/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Langelaan-Other movies and shows discussed, alphabetical listAlien (1979)Beetlejuice (1988)The Brood (1979)Call Me by Your Name (2017)Cosmopolis (2012)Dead Ringers (1988)eXistenZ (1999)The Fly (1958)Frankenstein (2025)The Fury (1978)Hereditary (2018)Hostel (2005)The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)Saw (2004)Scanners (1981)Spider (2002)Videodrome (1983)Wicked (2024)
“I had to watch it 3 or 4 times to finally get there…” Ahhh, the 80's. A time when people could actually afford to live, back when Taco Bell was both super cheap and equally delicious, horror movies were genuinely scary and often boasted incredibly “special” special effects, and terrified parents everywhere were completely “freaking the motherfrickin' frick out” over heavy metal and the ensuing “Satanic Panic” that followed. (Remember, we're talking about the 80's here…) “I kinda feel like Satan probably listens to Air Supply nonstop…or Gino Vanelli…” Not to worry though, because Tipper Gore was on the case, going out of her way to ensure that the future prosperity of heavy metal would be secure forever with the PMRC seal of approval (PARENTAL ADVISORY – EXPLICIT CONTENT) plastered on the cover of everything that would be deemed essential listening. Thanks to the diligent efforts and painstaking research of Tipper Gore and her Parents Music Resource Center, the PMRC lovingly crafted “The Filthy Fifteen” for American parents to ensure that their children would only be exposed to the finest audio artistry the heavy metal genre (and somehow, also Satan) had to offer. One of the bands included on that fateful list were the founders of black metal, VENOM (ironically, rated “O” … for “Obviously” …as in “Obviously, your kids should be listening to this!”). Hailing from probably the fanciest, most upper crust sounding city in all of England, Newcastle upon Tyne's 3-piece of evil VENOM came blasting out of the gates of hell with what would become the foundation for the black metal genre that would begin its ascent into heavy metal culture around the same time as thrash metal in the early 80's, with a sound combining the rawness of Motorhead, the darkness of Sabbath, and the speed of thrash with an imagery reminiscent of KISS if they were actually satanists. If Black Sabbath are ground zero for the formation of heavy metal as we know it, then VENOM is no doubt the Black Sabbath of the black metal genre. With a dark, detached creepiness that sounds like something recorded in an underground mausoleum, VENOM are the originators of extreme metal and were out in front, scaring the hell out of parents everywhere and delighting young and impressionable metalheads the world over. Happy Halloween everyone!!! It's time to celebrate spooky season the way we did back in the 80's, by going through your kids trick-or-treat plunder and picking out all of that “good candy”.

Migration madness intensifies as the fugitive sex offender is recaptured, and Labour fights fire over the ruinous cost of asylum hotels – which was created by the previous Conservative government. Will Starmer carry the can for the Tories' complacency? Plus, Trump tours Asia. What could possibly go wrong? Oh and there's a US war on Venezuela and a good old fashioned stock market crash a-comin'. Ros Taylor talks Andrew Harrison through the week ahead. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

HORROR-IKONEN gesucht. Nach FREDDY KRUEGER, JASON VOORHEES, ASH WILLIAMS oder MICHAEL MYERS stellen wir uns die Frage: Wer sind die neuen Kult-Killer, Scream-Queens, Anti-Heros oder Final Girls & Boys. Und wer sind die nächsten? Dafür haben Schlogger, Chris, Andre und Schröck jeweils eine kleine Liste mit Favoriten zusammen gestellt, die entweder schon eine gewisse Popularität erreicht haben oder die es noch packen könnten. Und infolgedessen wird angeregt diskutiert. Natürlich über ART THE CLOWN aus den TERRIFIER-Filmen oder über die Neuerfindung von PENNYWISE. Daneben geht es darum, ob JIGSAW alias JOHN KRAMER eher als Mensch oder doch mehr als Puppe wahrgenommen wird und - wo wir schon bei Puppen sind - warum M3GAN vermutlich ihre Chance verspielt hat, noch bekannter oder eben ikonisch zu werden. Oder warum Figuren wie VECNA oder der DEMORGORGON eben nicht so hervorstechen wie zum Beispiel eine WEDNESDAY, die zur richtigen Merch-Queen geworden ist. Und so geht es heiter weiter. Vom SLENDERMAN zu MALIGNANT, von MAXXXINE oder PEARL zu SINISTER und seinem MR. BOOGIE, von den WARRENS aus CONJURING zur ENTITY aus IT FOLLOWS oder vom GRABBER aus BLACK PHONE bis hin zu JOHN CARVER aus THANKSGIVING. Abgerundet durch das, was die Vier zuletzt gesehen haben, wozu unter anderem HOSTEL 2, die Sport-Horror-Metapher namens HIM oder eben der neue FRANKENSTEIN von Guillermo del Toro gehören, den sich Schlogger und Daniel direkt vor der Aufzeichnung dieser Folge noch reingezogen hatten. Falls wir eine oder gleich mehrere Ikonen vergessen haben, freuen wir uns über Euren Input in den Kommentaren. Ansonsten wünschen wir Euch viel Spaß mit unserem Talk, ein schönes Wochenende und dass Ihr so gesund wie gut drauf bleibt. Ach so und natürlich schon mal vorab: Happy Halloween.

Jack, Wendy, and Danny Torrance stay at The Overlook Hotel, caring for the estate during its off-season period. Jack has been outlining a new writing project and believes that five months of peace is just what's needed, but all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Fortunately, Danny has been mentored by Dick Hallorann, who provides cautionary advice and special instructions such as, "Stay out of Room 237," guidance that helps Danny stay one step ahead of dangers that lie within The Overlook, helping Danny evade the horrors that his father Jack will unleash. Designer, brand strategist, and writer Chris Cureton talks about what makes Stanley Kubrick's The Shining a perfect horror movie, and why writing in and of itself can sometimes be a scary endeavor.-Designer, brand strategist, and writer Chris Cureton helps executive teams move from confusion to clarity.

Both of Dan's stories come from Thailand. Thailand has a LOT of supernatural stories! We begin in Bangkok where we explore an abandoned and supposedly haunted skyscraper. Then, we'll head to one of Thailand's biggest college campuses, Chiang Mai University, to examine a few of the resident spirits there. And learn a bit about the relationship between Thai culture and the spirit world along the way. Then, Lynze has three very different stories this week. We begin in a hospital with a patient who raises hell in life... and maybe in death. Then, we head to Nevada to hear one persons harrowing tale of being chased in the dark. We wrap up this week in Sweden where a young man hopes to get lucky with a new love interest but goes home with something far more interesting!

Hostel, House and Chambers: Accommodating the Victorian and Edwardian Working Woman (Liverpool University Press, 2025) by Emily Gee is the first comprehensive study of the campaigns to house a new generation of working women, the specialised design of the buildings and the women whose lives were changed by this architectural movement. After 1900, the rapid rise of women working as clerks, secretaries or typists, in London and other cities, created an urgent need for affordable and respectable accommodation. Building on models of elegant Victorian ladies' residential chambers and the vast working men's lodging houses, a new type of single working women's hostel emerged. The handsome, if occasionally austere, façades blended into the Edwardian streetscape. However, architectural plans, literary descriptions and historic photographs reveal distinctive interiors. The hostels featured efficiently planned tiny private spaces alongside generous communal dining and sitting rooms, as well as libraries, music rooms and bicycle stores. Emphatically not charitable or municipal affairs, these were business-minded enterprises, established and advocated by other Edwardian women. In turn, these little-known buildings supported, enabled and empowered a new generation of intrepid working women. This book brings the buildings, and the residents, to vivid life through previously untapped sources. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The hostels featured efficiently planned tiny private spaces alongside generous communal dining and sitting rooms, as well as libraries, music rooms and bicycle stores. Emphatically not charitable or municipal affairs, these were business-minded enterprises, established and advocated by other Edwardian women. In turn, these little-known buildings supported, enabled and empowered a new generation of intrepid working women. This book brings the buildings, and the residents, to vivid life through previously untapped sources. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

We'll do it together."Hi: लेकिन रोहित ने आरामदायक अंदाज में कहा, "इतना क्या तामझाम आरव? थोड़ी मस्ती काफी है, ना?"En: But Rohit said in a relaxed manner, "Why so much fuss, Aarav? A little fun should be enough, right?"Hi: पर आरव की नज़र ऊँचे लक्ष्य पर थी।En: But Aarav had his sights set high.Hi: उसे पता था कि बजट और समय की कमी एक चुनौती हो सकती है।En: He knew that the lack of budget and time could be a challenge.Hi: कुछ छात्र भी उसमें उत्साह नहीं दिखा रहे थे।En: Some students were not showing much enthusiasm either.Hi: आरव ने एक योजना बनाई।En: Aarav made a plan.Hi: उसने प्रिय से मदद मांगी कि वह सजावट की व्यवस्था करे और रोहित से कहा कि अपनी आकर्षक शैली से छात्रों का ध्यान आकर्षित करे।En: He asked Priya for help with decorations and told Rohit to use his charming style to attract the students' attention.Hi: "चिंता मत करो, आरव। मैं अपनी पूरी कोशिश करूंगी," प्रिय ने वादा किया।En: "Don't worry, Aarav. I will do my best," Priya promised.Hi: रोहित, थोड़ी अनमने ढंग से ही सही, पर तैयार था छात्रों को उत्साहित करने के लिए।En: Rohit, albeit a bit reluctantly, was ready to enthuse the students.Hi: जल्द ही, हॉस्टल में हलचल मच गई।En: Soon, there was a buzz in the hostel.Hi: छात्रों ने अपने अपने तरीके से मेहनत शुरू कर दी।En: The students began working hard in their own ways.Hi: कुछ पारंपरिक केरल भोजन तैयार करने लगे, तो कुछ संगीत और नृत्य की अभ्यास में जुट गए।En: Some started preparing traditional Kerala food, while others got busy practicing music and dance.Hi: जैसे-जैसे समय बीतता गया, आरव की मेहनत रंग लाने लगी।En: As time passed, Aarav's efforts began to bear fruit.Hi: आख़िरकार, ओणम का दिन आ ही गया।En: Finally, the day of Onam arrived.Hi: कहीं से अचानक खबर आई कि एक महत्वपूर्ण नृत्य प्रदर्शन में शामिल कलाकार बीमार पड़ गए हैं।En: Suddenly, news came that the artists involved in an important dance performance had fallen ill.Hi: आरव के मन में कुछ तनाव सा छाया।En: A sort of tension loomed in Aarav's mind.Hi: ये समारोह का महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा था।En: This was a crucial part of the celebration.Hi: लेकिन उसने हार न मानी।En: But he didn't give up.Hi: उसने प्रिय और रोहित के साथ तुरंत एक योजना बनाई।En: He quickly made a plan with Priya and Rohit.Hi: उसके त्वरित निर्णय ने सबको प्रभावित किया।En: His swift decision-making impressed everyone.Hi: रोहित ने कुछ छात्रों को और जोड़ लिया और प्रिय ने जल्दी ही नई तैयारी शुरू कर दी।En: Rohit gathered more students, and Priya quickly started new preparations.Hi: रात को, जब ओणम समारोह अपने चरम पर था, हर तरफ़ ख़ुशियाँ और हर्षोल्लास का माहौल था।En: At night, when the Onam celebration was at its peak, there was an atmosphere of joy and rejoicing everywhere.Hi: आरव की आँखों में संतोष की चमक थी।En: There was a gleam of satisfaction in Aarav's eyes.Hi: समारोह ने शामिल सभी को जोड़ दिया था, और सभी का कुशल सहयोग उसे अपने प्रयास में सफल बनाता नज़र आया।En: The celebration had united everyone present, and the efficient collaboration of all seemed to make his efforts successful.Hi: उस रात, जब सारी गतिविधियाँ समाप्त हुईं, आरव ने प्रिय और रोहित की तरफ़ देखकर कहा, "शुक्रिया दोस्तों। मैं अकेले ये नहीं कर पाता।"En: That night, when all the activities were over, Aarav looked at Priya and Rohit and said, "Thank you, friends. I couldn't have done it alone."Hi: प्रिय मुस्कुराई और बोली, "आरव, असल में तुमने हमें जोड़ा।"En: Priya smiled and said, "In fact, it was you who brought us together, Aarav."Hi: और रोहित ने कहा, "विशाल योजना बनाने में तुम्हारा कौशल अद्भुत था, आरव।"En: And Rohit said, "Your skill in making grand plans was amazing, Aarav."Hi: इस अनुभव ने आरव को ये सिखाया कि जब हम मिलकर काम करते हैं, तो बड़ी से बड़ी चुनौती भी आसान हो जाती है।En: This experience taught Aarav that when we work together, even the biggest challenges become easier.Hi: उसने अपनी नेतृत्व क्षमता में विश्वास हासिल किया और मित्रों के साथ एक अनमोल याद बनाई।En: He gained confidence in his leadership abilities and created a priceless memory with his friends.Hi: ओणम समारोह वो क्षण था जिसने हॉस्टल में सभी के दिल को एक छोर से बांध दिया था।En: The Onam celebration was a moment that connected everyone in the hostel with a single bond.

Where in the world am I? In San Diego today. Trip Summary 2 Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, recently on a 90-day journey around the world, excited to connect with fellow travelers and share our experiences. Listener Story Spotlight Today's listener story is about 79 year old Sandi Biback who I met in Toronto and helped organize an afternoon with women from the JourneyWoman organization. She was called in to help and rose to the occasion. She is traveling to Bhutan in October and has shared several tips with me for purchasing Travel insurance. She's seasoned in Travel experiences and business conferences. She has been an active traveler for many decades. I tip my head to you, Sandi, and thank you for helping out in Toronto. Quick-fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is: about Single Supplements. These are extra fees that are essentially doubled when part of a package group tour. Refer to the notes for further information on this topic. When do I want to pay for them or not? Look at this link. There may be times you will pay for this, but the practice is getting attention with cruise ship business, and the more successful ones are eliminating the fees or reducing them dramatically. I had to pay for a whole room on my cruise from Helsinki to Stockholm for one night. It was a tiny room on one of the lower levels, with no window. I'll address this issue again in future episodes, but I'd like to hear from you on the topic, too. 60-second confidence challenge Find a world map, whether it is a flat map, a round map, or an atlas. Get one and explore the map as if you lived in the world. You do. I challenge you to know your geography a little better than you did yesterday. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 3 of my book dives deeper—link in description.” See Book A for addressing all of these items. Find it on our website at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Destination Deep‑Dive Today's special destination is: A summary of my 90-day trip. Part Two I ended Part One of this summary with my visit to South Africa, specifically Johannesburg. Let's move forward now on the second half. I flew on the shortest day of the year in the southern hemisphere, June 21, to the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere on June 22, when I landed in Athens, Greece, flying through and stopping off in Qatar overnight. Qatar's airport was immense.e I was shocked at how large it was. It was actually like a little city and quite the Commerce capital of the world from my perspective. You could stay there for weeks without going outside if you wanted to. There was just so much going on at any time of the day. I tried to access the airport lounge as I had a very long layover. Still, they insisted I couldn't check in until three hours before my flight or something like that, so I had to shop and come back. When I did go to the airport lounge, it was delightful, even at two in the morning. My credit card for this trip allowed me to use the Priority Pass lounges and even bring a guest, so I took advantage of that benefit and passed it on to others who became friends along the way. Now back to Greece. I didn't have a clear plan for what I was going to do in Athens. I stayed at a hostel located in a not-so-great area of the city. It was on the fringe, and by that I mean the only stores nearby were small markets that primarily sold take-out groceries. No other stores, such as dry cleaners or dog grooming shops, were in the neighborhood. The residents here were mainly short-termers, not people planning to stay for very long, hence markets that sold convenience goods. However, they were not called 7-11's or chain stores, and inside, they had a small selection because the stores were small for the most part. There were many intersecting streets, and not all of them had well-marked names. I also had some struggles with Google Maps on this trip, but I enjoyed the visit nonetheless. I went to an island called Hydra. The locals called Ira, and then I also went and visited an island called Paris. I stayed overnight on the island and had a pleasant visit, spending time swimming in the ocean, hiking along the shore, and exploring its natural beauty. The next day, when I returned to Athens, I checked back into the hostel, more for convenience and budget, and stayed one more night. I did feel a bit more secure. I remember it being so hot that even several stores and shops had closed. I took a taxi to the Acropolis Museum and enjoyed the air conditioning inside before heading back to my Hostel. The next day, I took a train to Thessaloniki, a five-hour ride, and stayed there for two nights to explore the outskirts of other cities beyond Athens. I returned to Athens a few days later and visited the Acropolis, the architectural museum, as well as several other local places of interest. I flew to Krakow, Poland, and then to Warsaw, Poland. I then returned to Dansk for another night. These cities hold significant historical importance for World War II. However, when I arrived at Dansk, I saw the World War II museum and realized that it had many artifacts well displayed for the public. If you're in Dansk, Poland I recommend this museum. Some of the things I did in Dansk, such as getting a haircut and having a massage, were important for self-care. After, I flew to Finland and then took a ferry to Estonia for a few days. Then I went back to Helsinki and stayed some time there before going to Stockholm, Sweden, and then going to Oslo and then to Bergen, Norway for a few days, I went back to Oslo and then went to Copenhagen for a few days and then I went to our house denmark, and then back to Copenhagen before going to the Netherlands. I had a friend in the Netherlands. I visited Melvin, who lived in Amsterdam, but I also visited Haarlem, Rotterdam, and Harlem while I was there. Afterwards, I flew to Edinburgh, Scotland, and took a train to North Berwick, where I spent a wonderful day exploring, swimming, and getting to know the town. I left Edinburgh for Halifax, Nova Scotia, on July 27 and spent the next two weeks in Canada. I enjoyed the Eastern Canadian hospitality, the Celtic culture, and the nature I saw throughout the 1,500 kilometers I drove. I finished my week in Toronto, exploring Niagara Falls, the city, and its suburbs, and swam three times during my stay. It was hot before I came home to San Diego. Smart Move and Slip-up pairings My slip-up in Edinburgh was dropping my iPad on my tiny toe at 5 AM in the dark. I was hurt, but I didn't know how badly it had broken. Four other people were sleeping in my hostel room at the time. I was getting ready to leave for the airport when this happened. Still, three weeks later, my toe is sensitive, but I think it will be okay. My lesson for you is this: when you're packing your bags, turn the light on so you can see what won't fall on your foot. 60-second confidence challenge Here's my challenge for you. My travel challenge for you is to get to know your apps on your phone. Download at least three travel apps, including Google Maps, Rome2Rio, and consider moving it. You might have some other good apps that you would recommend, so please let me know what they are. You need these to help you navigate your way in a new city or a new country. Always download your city's Google map so that you have it if you're not in a Wi-Fi area. Download it in advance. Resources Roundup One of my favorite apps is called Currency. I can look at the currency of my current location and compare it to another currency, such as the US dollar or the currency of a destination I may be traveling to. This Currency App is a valuable resource that does not require Wi-Fi to use. Take away mantra and goodbye. Today's takeaway is about not trying to see everything on your first visit; save something for later. Be kind to yourself and don't try to overextend; just do what you can. Thanks for listening. Be encouraged to travel with confidence.

Available HERE. Blockbuster box office. Critical acclaim and Oscars recognition. From Get Out and M3GAN to The Substance and Sinners, the horror genre is enjoying a glorious–and gory–golden age. Screaming and Conjuring details the films and frights that led to this extraordinary renaissance, from the release of the groundbreaking Scream in 1996 to the arrival of 2013's The Conjuring, which spawned a multi-billion dollar franchise. Written by entertainment journalist Clark Collis (author of You've Got Red on You: How Shaun of the Dead Was Brought to Life), this exhaustively researched book is the first in-depth examination of a remarkably fertile and influential time for big screen horror. Wes Craven's Scream was followed by a flood of classic terror tales such as The Blair Witch Project, The Sixth Sense, Final Destination, The Others, Pan's Labyrinth, 28 Days Later, Resident Evil, Saw, Hostel, Paranormal Activity, and Insidious. This comprehensive history covers the often difficult and tortuous making of all these films (and many more), giving readers the exclusive lowdown on productions which were often as intense as the horrifying sights that ended up on screen. Screaming and Conjuring features recollections from a host of genre icons, including actors Jamie Lee Curtis and Neve Campbell, directors Eli Roth and Sam Raimi, and legendary makeup effects artist Greg Nicotero. The book also includes 200 production stills, film posters, and rarely seen images. Blood. Sweat. Tears. More blood. Clark Collis takes you behind the scenes, and the scares, with this fascinating history of the modern horror movie. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Boaz Yakin is a New York City–born filmmaker, screenwriter, and producer known for his versatile work across indie dramas, mainstream hits, genre films, and TV. He began his career young, selling his first screenplay (The Punisher) at 19, and quickly made a name for himself with gritty urban stories and emotionally resonant character work.Boaz directed Remember the Titans with Denzel Washington, Safe starring Jason Statham, Max, Uptown Girls, A Price Above Rubies, Death in Love and his indie horror mystery Boarding School among many others.Beyond directing, as a writer, his credits include The Rookie, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and Now You See Me. He is also the executive producer and writer for the noir Apple TV+ series Lady in the Lake, and was executive producer of Hostel and Hostel 2 as one of the founding members of Raw Nerve alongside Eli Roth.As impressive as this intro is, it still reflects only a small portion of Boaz's prolific, extensive, and diverse body of work.In this conversation, Boaz discusses his career as well as his evolution as a filmmaker, the challenges of working within and outside the Hollywood system, and why his favorite films are guided less by career strategy and more by creative curiosity. He also discusses how the key to rewarding work in cinema is chasing meaning, not validation.This was a pretty awesome conversation that I was very honored to have with Boaz. Big thanks to my friend Scott Rose for putting us in touch. Without further ado, strap in, and get ready for this conversation with writer, director, and producer Boaz Yakin.Key TakeawaysLearn Script AnalysisBoaz sold his first script at 19, but he didn't just stumble into success or a superior storytelling ability — he was steeped in story from an early age. Growing up in a theatrical household and attending Stella Adler's famed script analysis classes during high school gave him a formidable foundation in character, psychology, and subtext. This background trained him to understand the deeper currents beneath the text, a skill that directly influenced his ability to write sellable screenplays at such a young age and launch his career before he could even buy a drink.This education also proved invaluable for Boaz as a director. Stella Adler taught that actors — and by extension, writers and directors — must understand every facet of a character's environment: their culture, their religion, the tone of the scene and even the weather. These contextual details inform performance and behavior and are the difference between movies and cinema.For filmmakers, building full character and environmental context informs every decision on set. The key lesson here is the importance of foundational education because learning the principles of story and writing can pay long-term dividends.Open Heart / Thick SkinOne of the most revealing points Boaz made was about the emotional toll of directing. Filmmakers are constantly having to say no to other creative collaborators — costume designers, cinematographers, actors — in order to preserve the vision of the film. Balancing that responsibility while also keeping your team inspired and not demoralized requires not only leadership, but emotional stamina and clarity of purpose.Boaz notes that many successful directors tend to have narcissistic tendencies, which buffer them from the guilt or sensitivity that might get in the way of making tough decisions — but this can harm your work just as much as being a pushover. Being empathetic makes you a better artist and can help your work resonate with more people. What Boaz teaches us here is that in addition to being emotionally resilient, directors must be emotionally intelligent. It's a balance you must...

Mary and Mathula join Caitlin to cover Eli Roth's Hostel: Part II. It's a movie that the three of us really enjoy, and we contest that it's more than "torture porn." It's got a great "good for her" moment, and we just love seeing Heather Matarazzo. Tangents include: meeting celebrities at cons, gay crushes, cleaning out the fridge, the goodwill auction site, custom monopoly game pieces, theoretical video game save points, walk-out music, renting vs owning, and favorite animals.
"Summer Surprise" continues with...what's this? Another witch movie?? That's right, but this one has a hell of a pedigree. A family dark-fantasy romp from Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, starring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett, and directed by...Eli Roth?? Huh. So how did the infamous filmmaker behind such extreme horror hits as Cabin Fever, Hostel, and Thanksgiving handle the opportunity to helm a more family-friendly adventure story based on the first book in a popular series of children's novels? Was this still an effective match for his twisted sensibilities, or a defective marriage of contrasting styles? Can Jack Black's unique charisma keep this clock ticking? How does it compare to the Goosebumps films of the same era, also starring Black? Is there such a thing as too many poop jokes? We discuss all this, and more!

The show kicks off with this week's news — Eli Roth is bringing a Hostel series to Peacock with Paul Giamatti, and rumors are flying about The Howard Stern Show possibly ending this year. In the fan-favorite Whatchu Watchin segment, the crew breaks down the movies and shows they've been binging. Robzilla returns with Zilla's Tubi Pick, serving up another hidden streaming gem. To close things out, Mr. PBS and Sleazy share their spoiler-free thoughts on the new horror flick Weapons, starring Julia Garner and Josh Brolin.
Welcome to Spitting Nonsense—where two self-proclaimed amateurs, Jasmine and Zach, chat about all things nerdy (and plenty that's not). None of this is fact, but it's definitely our brand of nonsense! We're still recording regularly—no promises on hitting exact days anymore—but you can always count on us for plenty of off-the-wall commentary. And now, you can leave comments on Spotify! Tell us what's on your mind; we see every comment and might even respond on the show. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the nonsense!
In this raw and wild yarn, boxing coach Ben Savva shares how he hit absolute rock bottom—dumped, broke, and living in a hostel—only to rebuild his life from scratch in Australia. After a mad breakup and losing everything, Ben finds redemption the hard way: stepping into a boxing ring for a “job interview” and landing a coaching gig on the spot. From chaos to clarity, this yarn is all about grit, growth, and the punch that changed it all.#ProperTrueYarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rozhodli jsme se zažít malešickou noc na vlastní oči a uši.V hostelu, který se svým umístěním i velikostí vymyká, jsme na jednu noc ubytovali. Chtěli jsme se přesvědčit, jaký efekt mají opatření slibovaná vedením hostelu a úředníky městské části Prahy 10. Mají už lidé v okolí klidnější spaní?---Ve stínu:Případy a příběhy od vás.

It's Friday and we've got a LOT to do this morning! First off, it's Jean's Birthday! She's gotta be getting close to 60 at this point. Poor old gal! We celebrated Jean all morning long and surprised her with some breakfast & a really beautiful bouquet. Also this morning, Doc joined us to talk racing, courtesy of County Materials in Holmen. In the news this morning, the latest on the air quality in the Midwest, a recent Delta flight hit some major turbulence and sent dozens of passengers to the hospital, an Arkansas teacher has been arrested for killing a couple that were hiking in a state park, and is hibernation for humans possible??? In sports, the NFL Hall of Fame game was last night, Conor McGregor was found liable in a civil rape & sexual assault suit, the Brewers play tonight in Washington…and speaking of Washington…wide receiver Terry McLaurin has requested a trade, and President Trump had a few things to say about a possible name change for the Washington NFL team. And he also had some trouble pronouncing Tua Tagovailoa's name. Elsewhere in sports, the Cubs are set to honor Ryne Sandberg this weekend, Hulk Hogan's official cause of death was released, and the Ravens have turned to Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps for some help learning how to swim! Very cool story about a community that came together to save the wedding of a couple who's reception was destroyed by vandals. We ran down a list of things to look forward to in the month of August, including the upcoming movies, TV shows, sporting events, and "holidays" Let you know what's in theaters this weekend and what's on the TV. Plus, a new television series based on the "Hostel" movie series is apparently on the way!

Where in the world am I? Peru planning Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, returning from a recent trip to Asia. I'm in San Diego now, sharing my best travel ideas and working on another book for you to enjoy: 5 Steps to Solo Travel, Part C. I'm about to launch on a 90-day trip around the world. Listener Story Spotlight I want to tell you about a listener named Raquel from Peru. She has been a friend for 40 years and has encouraged me to travel to Lima since then. She created all the images and designs for my first published travel book in 1993. She's been a friend for swimming in the ocean, concerts, joint baby showers, the funeral for her eldest son, and many shared life experiences. She's an awesome traveler and has a lot of advice for me. Where am I headed? Peru Lima Daytime: Stroll the clifftop Malecón in Miraflores for Pacific views, then relax on Playa Waikiki (the closest swimmable stretch). Evening – Barranco bohemian district (street art, safe pedestrian areas). Airport → MA iraflores taxi ≈ Ucosts S $20. The Etropolitano bus is cheaper but busy. Keep valuables close . Lima is generally safe but practices big‑city vigilance. The next day, Cusco Early Sky Airline or LATAM flight (1 hr 15 min; from ~US $31 one‑way) to acclimate gradually. Light walking tour of Plaza de Armas, San Blas artisans, coca‑tea stops. Book a morning flight so you can nap on arrival. Day 3 Ollantaytambo (Sacred Valley) Shared van tour Pisac market & terraces → Ollantaytambo ruins. Stay here to cut altitude (2 800 m vs Cusco 3 400 m) and be close to the train. Hostel examples: Mama Simona (~US $25 private). Day 4 Aguas Calientes PeruRail Expedition train 07:45 or 10:32 (~1 h 40 min). Check‑in, soak in town hot springs, early bed. Expedition seats run ~US $65–75 each way. Peru Rail Day 5 – MACHU PICCHU DAY Cusco (late) or Aguas Calientes (optional 2nd night) Cusco Free day: San Pedro market breakfast, Qorikancha, café break, optional half‑day Moray & Maras salt ponds tour. Morning flight Cusco → Lima; same‑ticket connection onward to Brazil (buffer at least three hours in Lima). Don't-Miss Beach Breaks If you'd like another ocean fix before Brazil, dedicate half a day to a Punta Hermosa day trip (1 hr south‑bound bus/Colectivo, US $4‑5). Choose calm Playa Caballeros for swimming or Playa Norte for quieter coves; eateries serve fresh ceviche on‑the‑sand. Machu Picchu in Detail – 1 June Step What to do Tips & costs. 1. Tickets (book now!) Buy on tuboleto. Culture.pe—choose Circuit 2B (Classic Lower Terrace) for the iconic postcard view with moderate stairs. It costs 172 PEN ≈ US $45. Sales for 2025 opened on 19 Dec 2024; the daily cap is 5,6000, so June slots sell out early. Peru Rail El País 2. Train 06:10 Inca Rail or 07:45 PeruRail Expedition from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes; arrive 08:30‑09:30. Sit on the left‑hand side for Urubamba River views. Peru Rail 3. Bus up. Buy a Consettur round‑trip ticket (US $24) at the kiosk the night before; the first buses roll at 05:30, and it's a 25-minute ride. Ticket Machu Picchu 4. Entry window Aim for the 09:00–10:00 slot (good light, less 6 am crowd, still before midday haze). Passport + ticket & small day‑pack only. 5. Guided visit (≈ 2 h) Hire certified guide at gate (~US $15 pp shared) to explore: Temple of the Sun, Sacred Plaza, Intihuatana, Three Windows. 6. Optional short hike Huchuy Picchu add‑on (easy 1 km, 30‑40 min, extra 48 PEN) – great summit photo without the steep drop of Huayna Picchu. Ticket Machu Picchu 7. Lunch & return Picnic outside gate (no food inside), stamp passport, bus down, 16:20 train back to Cusco (arr. 20:30) or stay 1 more night at Aguas Calientes if you prefer a slower pace. Packing checklist: passport, printed tickets, layers (cool mornings/hot sun), rain shell, 1 L refillable bottle (no disposables), DEET, sunblock, walking poles with rubber tips, cash for snacks & toilets (2 soles). Altitude & health: Machu Picchu sits at 2 430 m—easier than Cusco, but you'll feel stairs. Hydrate, avoid alcohol the evening prior, and ask your doctor about acetazolamide if you've struggled with altitude before. Budget Snapshot (USD per person) Item Low Notes Lima hostel (2 nts) 2 × $20 – $40 Pariwana or Selina Miraflores (female‑only dorm vs private). LI‑CU round‑trip flights $70 – $120 Book early; Sky basic fare includes 8 kg carry‑on only. Cusco/Ollanta/Aguas stays (5 nts) 5 × $18 – $35 Mix of hostels & guest‑houses with private bath options. Trains (round‑trip) $130 – $150 Expedition or IncaRail Voyager class. Machu Picchu entry and bus: $45 ticket + $24 bus + $15 guide. Add $13 for Huchuy Picchu. Food & local transport $25/day × 7 ≈ $175 Menu del día lunches ~$4–6; airport shuttles, colectivos. Approx. Total $600–$750. It leaves room for souvenirs or a Paracas day trip. Safe & Comfortable Stays City Budget‑friendly, mature‑traveler‑approved Approx. price (private, en‑suite) Lima Ibis Budget Miraflores (hotel), Wasi Barranco (B&B) $40–60 Cusco Niños Hotel (supports local kids), Tierra Viva Cusco Saphi $38–55 Ollantaytambo El Albergue (historic hostel‑hotel blend) $65 (splurge), dorms $25 Aguas Calientes Supertramp Eco‑Hostel (quiet female dorm), Terrazas del Inca $22–50 Quick Tips for a Smooth Trip Book everything online in advance, including flights, trains, Machu Picchu tickets, and buses, to beat lines and lock in cheaper fares. Cash is still king in small villages—carry small sol notes; ATMs are plentiful in Lima & Cusco. Stay seaside savvy: Lima's Pacific is cold (wetsuits for surfers). Swim only on signed "safe" sections and watch rip currents. Lifeguards patrol Punta Hermosa in peak daylight hours. Solo safety basics: use registered taxis (Taxi Beat or Cabify apps), avoid isolated beach areas at night, and keep photocopies of your passport in separate bags. Enjoy Peru's vibrant coast, Andean culture, and the wonder of Machu Picchu If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 3 of my book dives deeper https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com My brother says, "Never run in an airport," and that's excellent advice. My sister says, when you get to a new place, tell yourself it's the "first" time you will visit, but not the last. If you are looking for more solo female resources, you can find several tips and ways to navigate the pitfalls with Rick Steves and Lonely Planet travel guides. The takeaway mantra is to see where the world takes you. You can travel solo and never be alone. Dr. Travelbest.

NYC's Upper West Siders may be familiar with the 142 year-old, block long, many-storied, red-brick building on Amsterdam Avenue at 103rd Street.Completed in 1883 and designed by Gilded Age architect Robert Morris Hunt – famed for designing the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, N.C. – the base of the Statue of Liberty – the front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art – this building, on Amsterdam and 103rd Street, opened in 1883 as the Association Residence for the Relief of Respectable Aged Indigent Females. In the late 1960s it was set to be torn down. BUT – in time – was saved in great part due to the efforts of two of our guests -- and was resurrected as a major youth hostel inviting visitors from all over the world who want to experience NYC up close and personal.Former Manhattan Borough President and City Council member Ruth Messinger and Bloomington Historial Pam Tice joined us to tell the story of Hunt's building -- a story that encompasses the history of NYC – both its wealth and tendency to provide dignity to its citizens.This BCR program was recorded at 5 Napkin Burger Bar on Broadway and W. 84th St.Alan Winsonbarcrawlradio@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Nathan St Cyr is the co-founder of Howzit Hostels, a fast-growing hospitality brand based in the Hawaiian Islands. Within three years, Howzit Hostels earned the 2024 award for the number one small hostel in North America. With two current locations totaling approximately 140 beds, Nathan and his partner are on a mission to scale to 400 beds in Hawaii and 4,000 beds across North America—all while elevating the hostel experience into a modern, community-focused hospitality model. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Nathan originally trained in multifamily investing but pivoted to hostels after uncovering a major market gap in the U.S. hostel space. Howzit Hostels focuses on elevating the guest experience with boutique design, community engagement, and Instagram-worthy moments. The hostel model allows for multiple revenue levers through room configuration, occupancy flexibility, and curated guest experiences. Their approach targets the Gen Z traveler, who craves connection, shared spaces, and social currency through experiences. Success comes from understanding your avatar, hiring expert operators, and being fully committed to your vision. Topics From Multifamily to Hospitality Pivot Started with multifamily training, searching for apartment deals in Hawaii. First property search introduced the idea of hostels, which led to a deep dive into the business model. Discovered that hostels offered a more flexible, high-margin opportunity than traditional apartment investing in their market. What Is a Hostel Today? Challenges the outdated U.S. perception of hostels as cheap or dirty backpacker lodging. Focuses on community-based experiences with boutique design, common spaces, guided activities, and both shared and private rooms. Targets modern travelers who value shared experiences over isolation. Creating a Scalable, Passion-Driven Asset Hostels allow room configurations that multiply income potential—such as converting a single hotel room into a shared six-bed space. Hostel occupancy is measured per bed, allowing for higher flexibility and revenue optimization. Deep understanding of their target audience (Gen Z) shapes branding, amenities, and experiences. Mindset, Mentorship, and Execution Emphasizes hiring experts to validate business plans and fill skill gaps, including European hostel consultants and hospitality designers. Stresses the importance of passion, perseverance, and the willingness to go “all in” on your vision. Leverages lessons from a background in sales leadership, focusing on rejection as a temporary obstacle and belief as the driving force.
