Was "Twilight for Boys" a good idea? Apparently not, or else people would be hosting "I Am Number Four" themed watch parties, and let's face it, that sounds weird. Twilight though? Let me get my black corduroys and hair gel out. Also, what's more important, going to Harvard or exploring a career in figure skating after previously having zero training, but suddenly being so good you might be able to qualify for the Olympics? Catch our thoughts on both of these questions in our new episode.

Season 4, Episode 61: Interview with Eileen Weisinger (Warrior Woman) from John Carpenter's “Ghosts of Mars” (2001) Such an incredible actress with a great outlook on life! I love how she shared her story about being a stunt woman; after all the movies she has been in, she has quite the impressive career. Essentially this movie is Assault on Precinct 13, add a helping of The Thing, and throw in a pinch of Escape from New York,  three of John Carpenter's best-loved films. She was also a stunt performer in a plethora of notable movies: I Am Number Four, Iron Man 2, Tekken, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Star Trek: Nemesis, Not Another Teen Movie, Swordfish, Dracula 2000 and Mimic 2 – just to name a few. But had character roles in the first Iron Man in 2008, The Babysitter, and many more.

While the film pays homage to the original, it also infuses new energy and interpretation into the tale, exploring themes of justice, courage, and sacrifice.The Sound Collector:Switching gears to a much different tempo, "The Sound Collector" (a fictional title for the sake of discussion) might be a documentary or a feature film exploring the world of sounds.

Welcome to the Left of Str8 Podcasts: This is our “Left of Str8 Show” Interview Series, where we tell the stories of our amazing LGBTQ Community and fantastic Straight Ally's. It's Day Two for our Premiere Week of Season 7. Today is a Salute to the Movies with two brand new releases coming out. I have been a fan of Guy Pearce since “Priscilla Queen of the Desert,” and I jumped at the opportunity to speak with the Director of the new psychological horror film, “Sunrise,” Andrew Baird. I was also able to talk to two of the films stars, Alex Pettyfer, who I have loved since his movie, “I Am Number Four,” and Kurt Yeager, who has been on some of my favorite television series. (unfortunately Guy was unavailable, but I'll get you my pretty sometime soon.) Summary In this conversation, I talk with the Director and two Actors from the new film, “Sunrise.” It's a psychological horror take on the Vampyre mythology. Set in the Pacific Northwest but filmed in Northern Ireland, the landscapes and cinematography are out of this world. Director Andrew Baird has done world building with his Sci Fi Fantasy film “Zone 414,” and done intense character development with actor turned singer, turned actor again, Machine Gun Kelly. Andrew is a master storyteller and knows how to control a set. Alex Pettyfer was not going to make any typical Vampire movie, he wanted to bring the deep brooding characterizations and even cut most of his lines written for the part. Kurt Yeager takes the films theme of fear to heart, playing the town sheriff that is caught between opposing forces. You are going to enjoy this movie opening in theatres on January 19 and available to stream as well.

Sophia is a talented and multifaceted actress currently creeping up the stage as Marlow in the hit Broadway show, “Grey House”. She talks about her role as Marlow, the complexities of her character, and her deep appreciation for the creative freedom provided by the playwright, Levi Holloway, the open-ended nature of the play being open to interpretation. With her innate ability to tap into the dark side partnered with her empathic nature, it's no surprise that she's able to perform and connect to both her character and the audience. She shares how she embraces curiosity as a driving force and how this allows her to explore different emotions, and the importance of balance between her personal life and maintaining a healthy separation from the characters she plays. She also delves into generational differences and why she's a fan of Gen Zs despite the bad rap they get. Apart from acting, she unveils her love for painting which she considers as a meditative practice that keeps her aligned. Despite the chaos the industry brings sometimes, curiosity has been a driving force for Sophia, and this curiosity is what keeps her going.  Sophia Anne Caruso is a talented actress with tv and film credits such as the Netflix hit feature, “The School for Good and Evil”, "37", "Jack of the Red Hearts", "I Am Number Four", CBS' “Evil”, and the NBC's hit series “Smash” among others. Her stage credits include "Beetlejuice", "Lazarus", "Runaways", "Blackbird", "The Nether", and "The Sound of Music Live!". She's currently playing as Marlow in the hit Broadway show, “Grey House”.

Aliens, hormones and photography! This movie had it ALL. This week the ladies (and special guests Allie Nelson & Tyler McCarthy of the Not Couple Goals Podcast) watched the incomprehensible teen sci-fi movie, "I Am Number Four." We swoon over Timothy Olyphant, cringe about the Twilight similarities, and marvel over the surprise Dinosaurs in this film. 3 more sequels please!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

“Wednesday, for us, from concept until now, has been a three and a half year journey,” said Alfred Gough. “We came up with the initial idea which was teenage Wednesday Addams in boarding school. We had to track down the rights and then we pitched it to the Addams Foundation.” As screenwriters, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar are known for Shanghai Noon, Smallville, I Am Number Four, Spider-Man 2 (2004), and Into the Badlands. Their latest creation is perhaps most similar to the creation of Smallville, the Superman origin series. Listen to our conversation about Into the Badlands in Episode 52. Miles Millar said, “Tonally, this is in the pocket of Smallville. Often times, the studio comes to you, but this time, it was our idea. We put together a 15-page series treatment with photographs, descriptions, log lines for episodes, and that led to a meeting. We had to do the legwork, write the spec treatment, but we felt passionate about the project and fell in love with the idea of doing this.” “From there, we wrote the first episode, that's when the pandemic hit. We sent the pilot script to Tim Burton's agent, even though his agent said he's never been interested in television,” he continued, “but the agent liked it and sent it to Tim. Four days later, we got a call, he loved it and wanted to meet.” Tim Burton told Alfred Gough and Miles Millar that he “loved the script” and “would have dated Wednesday Addams in high school.” They shot the series in Romania about a year later.

Today we discuss the movie I Am Number Four and how their alien race is way too sexy

I am number four is the first in the Lorien Legacies series. It follows 'four', a boy with magical powers from an alien planet, who must survive the aliens known only as the Mog, after they kill 'one', 'two' and 'three'. Sounds dumb and it is, but it is also boring! Carl and Oscar sit through this snooze-fest to figure out who would watch this.

In the wake of TWILIGHT's pop-culture explosion in 2008, every major studio was looking to launch the next big movie franchise based on a popular Young Adult literary series. In this episode, we take our first dive into these crowded YA waters. When Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg were eager to cash in on the TWILIGHT-craze themselves, they turned to the manuscript of an at-the-time unreleased sci-fi adventure book by a controversial author (writing, with a partner, under the pen-name "Pittacus Lore"), called I AM NUMBER FOUR. While the book WOULD go on to spawn a successful literary series, the movie adaptation...well, we're talking about it on this show, so you get the idea. But what went wrong? Let's discuss.

There are a lot of Young Adult book series, many of which don't translate well into movies, but that doesn't stop Hollywood from desperately trying for the next Twilight. We examine a couple of the failed attempts with The 5th Wave and I Am Number Four.

Steve Cooper talks with actor Brian Howe. Brian can currently be see playing Sheriff Pickett in HBO's Westworld and was a recurring character on the same network's hit Vice Principals. He began his TV career during the mid-'90s, as an occasional guest player on episodes of such series as Law Order and Spencer for Hire and the short-lived sitcom The Bonnie Hunt Show. He re-teamed with the venerable Hunt for a small role in his first feature, which the actress directed: the romantic comedy Return to Me. Supporting turns in an uneven series of films ensued, ranging from K-PAX to Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can. He later was cast in the short-lived sitcom A Minute With Stan Hooper then landed a trio of supporting roles in A-list films during 2006: one in the Robin William's in RV, another with Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness and a third in Tony Scott's Deja Vu. Clint Eastwood cast him in the 2008 drama Gran Torino. He appeared in the 2011 action film I Am Number Four, and in 2012 he appeared as Randy Scheunemann in the made-for-HBO docudrama Game Change. He also had a recurring role in HBO's hit The Newsroom and on Showtime's House of Lies and Masters of Sex. He will soon be seen in the original Amazon series The Last Tycoon.

The start of an epic new series from bestselling author John Connolly, and Jennifer Ridyard. For fans of THE 5TH WAVE and I AM NUMBER FOUR. Earth is no longer ours. It is ruled by the Illyri, a beautiful, civilised yet ruthless alien species. But humankind has not given up the fight, and Paul Kerr is one of a new generation of young Resistance leaders waging war on the invaders. Syl Hellais is the first of the Illyri to be born on Earth. Trapped inside the walls of her father's stronghold, hated by the humans, she longs to escape. But on her sixteenth birthday, Syl's life is about to change forever. She will become an outcast, an enemy of her people, for daring to save the life of one human: Paul Kerr. Only together do they have a chance of saving each other, and the planet they both call home. For there is a greater darkness behind the Illyri conquest of Earth, and the real invasion has not yet even begun... (P)2014 Simon & Schuster, Inc

Before they go on hiatus for Pretty Little Liars season, Marco and Benji are back one more time to talk about a failed franchise starter: I Am Number Four. They joke about the neutron star of suck in the center of the film, how it doesn’t seem to know its target audience, how great Timothy Olyphant is in a useless role, etc. This is the kind of movie you get when bad intentions go awry.

Alex Pettyfer and Bret Easton Ellis discuss I Am Number Four, the effects of information overload on millennials, Magic Mike and the separation between an actor's professional and personal lives.

This episode of the podcast was released on September 1, 2015 and, as such, we take a look at the season, the challenges and excitements of the upcoming months, and what we look forward to most! (Pumpkin latte, anyone? Not yet? Ok.)  Once again, Addy and Brian chose to review very complementary audiobooks in the business and personal development genre. Addy reviews Do the Work by Steven Pressfield, while Brian reviews Purple Cow by Seth Godin. News Girl on the Train is being made into a movie! (Note: this is not the 2013 thriller starring Henry Ian Cusick.) The psychological thriller published in January by author Paula Hawkins was optioned by DreamWorks and is already getting some buzz over the casting of the characters. One major change already rumored in the course of the book's adaptation is that the film will likely take place in upstate New York, as opposed to the English backdrop of the story. As this change does not seem to cause the author to lose sleep, it shall be interesting to see what The Help's Tate Taylor will do with the film. The audiobook for Girl on the Train is narrated by Clare Corbett and Louise Brealey and is 11 hours long. The penultimate book in the Lorien Legacies series, The Fate of Ten, is scheduled for release September 1, 2015. The first book of the series, I Am Number Four, was released back in 2010 and subsequently had a film adapted in its honor, starring Alex Pettyfer and Timothy Olyphant. Neither the box office numbers nor the critical response of the film were anything to get excited over and the sequel was shelved. The six books thus far in the Lorien Legacies series have one narrator in common, Neil Kaplan, but use an array of narrators for different voices. Each book hovers around the 10 hour mark. Audiobook Reviews Often called a manifesto, Steven Pressfield's Do The Work is an action guide that helps readers address points of resistance along the road to the completion of a project. Interestingly, the foreword is written by the author of the book that Brian listened to, Seth Godin, and in it he writes: "It will help you understand why you're stuck; it will kick you in the pants, and it will get you moving." The book was originally published in April of 2011 is a follow up to Pressfield's 2002 non-fiction book The War of Art (not to be confused with The Art of War by Sun Tzu, which Brian reviewed last week). Both books address the enemy of creativity and how to empower oneself to rise above the fear often accompanied by participating in a world where criticism and roadblocks abound. Whether you're a creative type or an entrepreneur, this book can bring you step by step through the process of overcoming that fear and resistance in order to produce your desired result. And Pressfield does it all in 1 hour and 26 minutes! Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable by Seth Godin follows a very similar vein, but is pleasantly complementary to Do The Work. The 2003 book is 3 hours in length and, like Do the Work, is also narrated by its author.  The phrase purple cow comes from a 1895 poem by Gelett Burgess: I never saw a Purple Cow, I never hope to see one; But I can tell you, anyhow, I'd rather see than be one. The short, quippy poem became popular very quickly and Burgess actually came to regret writing it. He wrote a follow up poem in 1897, the last line of which reads: "I'll Kill you if you Quote it!" Most authors would kill for that kind of popularity, not kill because of the popularity. Despite the author's backtracking, the poem has a unique nuance in modern culture. It can be read as embracing the idea of sticking to the status quo because sticking out is harder than fitting in, but Godin takes a different approach. Godin embraces the heart of this poem by pointing out that, as a society, we are saturated in choices that have few differences. The status quo, the traditional marketing techniques, no longer cut it in our fast-paced, mostly-online culture, and this idea of putting a purple cow into everything you do embraces the idea of being different. In one interview, Godin says: "Purple Cow is about the inexorable decline in the effectiveness of advertising and what to do about it." It's not effective to be status quo; don't see the purple cow, be the purple cow! Start with Pressfield's book, learn to overcome the fears that hold you back from achieving your dreams, then read Godin's book to discover how being the purple cow of your industry will produce the type of results you're looking for! Then report back and tell us how you did! Show us some love!

Steve Cooper talks with actor Brian Howe. Brian is typically cast as an American everyman in many ways, the most challenging of roles to play. After spending time in stage productions in Boston he began his TV career during the mid-'90s, as an occasional guest player on episodes of such series as Law & Order and Spencer for Hire and the short-lived sitcom The Bonnie Hunt Show. He re-teamed with the venerable Hunt for a small role in his first feature, which the actress directed: the romantic comedy Return to Me. Supporting turns in an uneven series of films ensued, ranging from K-PAX to Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can. He later was cast in the short-lived sitcom A Minute With Stan Hooper then landed a trio of supporting roles in A-list films during 2006: one in the Robin William's in RV, another with Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness and a third in Tony Scott's Deja Vu. Clint Eastwood cast him in the 2008 drama Gran Torino. He appeared in the 2011 action film I Am Number Four, and in 2012 Howe appeared as Randy Scheunemann in the made-for-HBO docudrama Game Change. He recently had a recurring role in HBO's hit The Newsroom and can be seen on the new season of Showtime's House of Lies.

Host Robin Milling flashes back to 1999 with Timothy Olyphant for his interview as a drug dealing lothario for Go.  Timothy shares his bad boy behavior off the screen with Milling. “We grew up in Modesto, Ca where there's not much to do so we did these stupid, rebellious dangerous things because what else is there to do other than go paint somebody's house overnight or make a fake bomb and wrap it up in a Christmas gift around the holidays. We used to do stupid dumb things like that. You'd take some flairs and an alarm clock and some electrical tape and some clay and wires and just mish mash that up and you gift wrap it and put it out on the side of the road. That right there is hours of fun. We'd go to the golf course and drink and get ice blocks at the local 7-11 and you'd destroy the golf course sliding down the hills on the ice blocks. It's not like I was packing heat walking around high school but we did the usual stupid stuff.” The film paved the way for a successful diversified career for Olyphant, who can be seen as the sexy law enforcer Raylan Givens on the FX series Justified.  You might also remember him from the HBO series Deadwood, as well as a stint on Damages. The Hawaiian born actor currently stars in the DVD releases Elektra Luxx and I Am Number Four.
