This episode we have details on how to get Elsa Schneider's autograph, Official IndyCast correspondent Mitch Hallock reviews most of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, we have more Indy trivia and we have sneak peeks at IJ in the UK and Indiana Mic has a quick Indy Outfit shout out!

Join us for a special episode where the ILM cast discuss fifteen cold opens from the second fifty films we have covered.

Hello, Void! We're back with another peek into the bad movie vault, and this time we've been blinded by Gods of Egypt. This is a movie set in Egypt (Atlantis style?), played by white people (cause it's y2k, wait, wait, wait, it's actually 2016!), and filled to the brim with terrible CGI (no ILM for you!). We discuss how Hollywood needs more one-eyed hot guys, Hathor's VIP star-encrusted rave bracelet, and how much fun Gerard Butler is having. Genuinely, Gerard's portrayal of Set is the only thing that keeps this film afloat, and he does it with sassy/snarky comments, being evil, and threatening people (but make it sexy). It's wild to see such a stellar cast be just so miserable. But worry not, Void! For your hosts, Erin and Brennan, do what they do best: get REAL nerdy about ancient Egyptian history and mythology!!

Tuvojas Eiropas Folkloras diena un Ulbrokā 20. septembrī notis starptautisks muzikālā mantojuma koncerts “Upes pērles”. Par ģimeņu folkloras studiju „Garataka” un Skaņumājas aktivitātēm Eiropas Folkloras dienā pārrunājam studijā. Stāsta Asnate Rancāne, ģimeņu folkloras studijas „Garataka” vadītāja, „Garataku” pārstāv arī Signe Lazdiņa no Latvijas Radio 3 „Klasika”, bet „Garatakas” jauniešus pārstāv un Agata Kontrerasa no Čīles, kurai ir savs stāsts par pievienošanos studijai. „Skaņumājas” vadītājs Ilmārs Pumpurs stāsta par folkloras kustības nepārtrauktību. Koncertā Ulbrokā piedalīsies ģimeņu folkloras studijas „Garataka” jauniešu grupa, latgaliešu folkloras kopa „Ceidari”, muzikālā domubiedru grupa, projekts “The Baltic Sisters” un Vidusjūras saules piesātināto Dienviditālijas mūzikas tradīciju kopēji “Quartetto Areasud”. -- Pēc Eiropas Folkloras tīklojuma (European Folk Network) iniciatīvas 23. septembris visā Eiropā ir pasludināts par Eiropas Folkloras dienu un šajā laikā dažādi ar tautas mūziku saistīti sarīkojumi tiek sasaistīti kopīgā Eiropas kartē, parādot Eiropas tradicionālā mantojuma krāšņumu, dažādību un visaptverošo dabu.  

Segunda entrega de"Sección Oficial", nuestro nuevo programa realizado en colaboración con Film&Co en el que charlaremos con Alba Sánchez-Serrano, compositora de efectos visuales en ILM

Eiropas Folkloras dienas ietvaros Ulbrokā kultūras centrā "Ulbrokas pērle" 20. septembrī notiks starptautisks muzikālā mantojuma koncerts “Upes Pērles”, jau trešo reizi aicinot iepazīt un izbaudīt Latvijas un citu zemju folkloras grupu priekšnesumus.  Stāsta etnomuzikologs un tautas mūzikas biedrības "Skaņumāja" aktīvists Ilmārs Pumpurs: "Mēs ļoti uz to ceram, ka etnomūzikas diena kļūs par ilgstošu un pastāvīgu tradīciju. Droši vien jāpakāpjas solīti atpakaļ un jāpiemin Eiropas Folkloras tīklojums – organizācija, kas arī ir jauna, izveidojās tikai 2019. gadā ar tieši tādu mērķi – pievērst lielāku sabiedrības uzmanību mūsu tradicionālās kultūras vai folkloras mantojumam un pievērsties autentiskajām, nearanžētajām formām, sakņu vērtībām, ko slēpj mūsu mantojums. Ja mēs Latvijā esam ļoti pieraduši pie folkloras festivāla "Baltica" un daudzo folkloras kopu darbības, tad Eiropā situācija dažās zemēs nemaz nav tik vienkārša. Tāpēc tika nolemts izveidot šādu organizāciju. Eiropas folkloras diena ir šīs organizācijas iniciatīva, kas sakrīt ar rudens saulgriežu laiku. Mēs mēģinām šo festivālu padarīt pieejamāku visiem interesentiem."

Kultūras rondo viesojas Aivars Eipurs jeb Eduards Aivars ar savu jaunāko krājumu „Acu dzīres”. Runājam ne tikai par dzīrēm, bet arī par laikmeta reālijām, kurām dzejnieks savos pantos nespēj pagriezt muguru. Izdevniecībā "Aminori" klajā nācis dzejnieka Eduarda Aivara (Aivars Eipurs) jaunākais dzejas krājums "Acu dzīres". Grāmatā atrodams liels optimisma lādiņš, gaišums un ironija, bez kuriem būtu daudz grūtāk dzīvot mūsdienu nestabilajā pasaulē.  Grāmatas redaktors ir rakstnieks Ilmārs Šlāpins, bet dizainu veidojusi māksliniece Zane Ernštreite.

Šogad Dzejas dienas svinaām, suminot Raini 160. dzimšanas dienā un izdodot dzejas krājumu "Dzeja svin 1965-2025". Kultūras rondo studijā šī krājuma sastādītājs dzejnieks Ilmārs Šlāpins. Veram vaļā Dzejas dienu krājumu un viņa paša jaunāko dzejas krājumu "Cilvēks bez noteikta dzīvesveida". Krājums "Dzeja svin 1965-2025" ir izdots par godu šī gada Dzejas dienām, kas ir 60. dzejas dienu festivāls. Kopš 1966. gada Dzejas dienas ir ikgadējs pasākums, kas tagad jau ir kļuvis par starptautisku dzejas festivālu.  "Gaidot šīs Dzejas dienas, mēs nolēmām izveidot Dzejas dienu krājumu, kurā būtu publicēti līdz šim nepublicēti dzejoļi tiem autoriem, kas piedalās šī gada Dzejas dienas," atklāj Ilmārs Šlāpins. Krājumā iekļauti 74 autoru darbi, un tie nebūt nav visi Dzejas dienu dalībnieki. "Tas rāda Latvijas dzejas ainavu šajā brīdī, tas ir tāds šī brīža nospiedums. Manuprāt, man ir izdevies sakārtot tā, lai šī ainava būtu pietiekami pauguraina un krāšņa un lasītājs varētu redzēt latviešu mūsdienu moderno dzeju visā tās krāšņumā," vērtē Ilmārs Šlāpins. "Sākuma bija doma katram dzejnieka iedot vienu lappusi vai atvērumu. Beigās šī formālā prasība netika konsekventi ievērota, tieši otrādi, ļaujot dzejai svinēt dabiski," min Ilmārs Šlāpins.

LEGO revealed a trailer for new episodes of the Rebuild the Galaxy series coming next month, but there's also the possibility you'll be able to put real blocks together to remake the Death Star. ILM pats itself on the back with an article about VR gaming. Oga's Cantina goes standby in California and Smuggler's Run will be getting new routes.Feel free to take part in contributing ideas and commenting on our podcasts, on Spotify, YouTube, Facebook, Amazon's podcast portal, or even Discord.

Kopš augusta apskatei atvērts Cēsu viduslaiku pils ziemeļu tornis. Tagad tornī ierīkota ekspozīcija – lapidārijs, kurā izstādītas no senajām pils daļām saglabājušās liecības – kolonnu un velvju fragmenti, logu aplodas un citas akmens būvdetaļas. Izstaigājam ziemeļu torni un uzklausām stāstus par tā restaurācijas vēsturi Cēsu muzeja Viduslaiku pils nodaļas vadītāja Gundara Kalniņa vadībā. Ziemeļu tornis Cēsu viduslaiku pilī ir viena no jaunākajām celtnēm, tā izbūve sākta tālajā 1498. Gadā, mestra Voltera fon Pletenberga piektajā valdīšanas gadā. 1577. gada aplenkuma laikā tornis smagi cieta moskovītu karaspēka veiktajā apšaudē. 17. gadsimta nogalē pils saimnieki to pilnībā pameta likteņa varā. Ziemeļu tornis, kā pēc brīža jokos mans ceļvedis, Cēsu muzeja Viduslaiku pils nodaļas vadītājs Gundars Kalniņš, ir cietis ne tikai karos vai no pamestības, bet arī neveiksmīgas restaurācijas – pagājušā gadsimta 30., 60. un 80. gados veikti plaši torņa atjaunošanas darbi, par kuriem Gundars Kalniņš ir arī stāstījis savā Facebook kontā, un aprakstījis “Cēsu pils rakstu” gaidāmajā sējumā. Ja jāapraksta sajūtas, kādas pārņem, ienākot Cēsu pils ziemeļu tornī, tā ir gaisā sajūtamā mūra un darvotu dēļu smarža. Torņa telpa ir apaļa, mēs uzreiz nokļūstam šaujamlūkās izvietotās ekspozīcijas centrā. Gaisma laužas pa durvīm, no augšstāviem, un līdzīgi tas ir arhitektūras vēsturnieka Ilmāra Dirveika radītajos zīmējumos, kas eksponēti gaismas kastēs. Paši zīmējumi ir uz melna fona, bet gaismas iezīmētās līnijas rāda kāda kādreiz ir izskatījusies Cēsu viduslaiku pils. Gundars Kalniņš ir ziemeļu torņa ekspozīcijas kurators. Ziemeļu tornim atjaunots tā vēsturiskais plānojums, pēc atjaunošanas darbiem, būvprojekta autors ir pieredzējušais restaurācijas arhitekts Artūrs Lapiņš. Tornim atkal ir trīs stāvi. Un katra stāva ekspozīcija koncentrējas uz noteikta veida būvdetaļām. Pirmajā stāvā tie ir pārsegumi un velves. Atrasto būvdetaļu krāsojums, rotājumi apliecina, ka Cēsu pils viduslaikos ir bijusi visai grezna ēka. Otrajā stāvā var uzzināt vairāk par pils logiem. Trešais stāvs atstāts minējumiem, tajā ir būvdetaļas, kuru funkcijas atminējums pieļauj vairākas versijas. Taču pirms doties uz lapidāriju, Gundars Kalniņš aizved uz nelielu koka šķūnīti pils pagalmā. Šķūnī ir plaukti, pilni ar atradumos atrastiem akmeņiem. Gundars Kalniņš ceļ ārā vienu,  liek uz galda, lai es aplūkoju vērīgāk. Izstāstīt, kurš tad no Cēsu viduslaiku pils torņiem ir ziemeļu tornis, patiesībā ir ļoti vienkārši. Otrpus pils mūriem, Cēsu pils parkā ir iekārtota estrāde, tur notiekošie uzvedumi kā skatuves scenogrāfiju izmanto pilskalna nogāzē uzbūvētās izteiksmīgās kāpnes. Nu, lūk, tad Ziemeļu tornis ir tas, kas labi redzams no estrādes puses, un mani vienmēr mulsinājis, kāpēc torņa trūkstošā daļa aizpildīta ar dēļiem. Tas ir skaists, bet mazliet neparasts risinājums. Savās publikācijās sociālajos medijos Gundars Kalniņš slavē šo risinājumu, kas saglabāts arī tagad. Ja reiz nav ne zināšanu, ne prasmju atjaunot torni vēsturiskajā izskatā, ir saprātīgi ķerties pie šī laika skaistuma izpratnei atbilstoša, moderna risinājuma.

Assalamualaikum,We've reached the final portion of Surah al-Wāqiʿah, and it's been a beautiful journey. Each week, we recited, studied Tajwīd, and reflected practically on what these ayāt mean for our lives.Tajwīd Highlights* Madd Munfasil vs Muttasil:If the wave sign (madd) is in two words, it's munfasil → read 4 harakat.If it's in one word, it's muttasil → read 4 harakat.I keep it simple: when you see the wave, go 4 — unless there's a shaddah or sukun, then it's 6.* Heavy Letters like ص (Ṣād):You lift the back of your tongue, not your lips.Don't shape it like “soo” — it's not lip work, it's tongue elevation.* Light Letter vs. Heavy:Try saying س (Seen) and ص (Ṣād) back-to-back.The makhraj is similar, but ṣād is heavier because of that tongue lift.* Letter ض (Ḍād) – tricky but unique.It's not made with the tip — it's the sides of the tongue touching the molars.Push right or left, or both sides if you can.There's also a bit of stretch — not like dhal, not a heavy “d”, but truly ḍād.* Idghām Without Ghunnah:Example: Fasalāmun laka — tanwīn meets lām → merge it without nasal sound.No humming here.Tafsīr: Ayah 88 to 96Previously, we looked at how Allah divided humanity into three groups on the Day of Judgement:* As-Sābiqūn al-Muqarrabūn – the foremost in goodness, those drawn near to Allah.* Ashābul-Yamīn – the people of the right, honoured and saved.* Ashābush-Shimāl – the people of the left, those who face punishment.We saw the signs in nature: fire, water, creation. The Qur'an kept asking us to reflect. These were not abstract reminders — they were close and real. The question remains: where do we stand?The Qur'an and the StarsEarlier in this passage, Allah took a unique oath:فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِThen I swear by the positions of the stars –وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌAnd indeed, it is a great oath, if you only knew.Allah is linking the stars to the Qur'an. Why?Like the stars, the Qur'an from afar can look like a beautiful mess — dazzling, but hard to make sense of.But if you study the stars, you find direction. They guide travellers at sea and in the desert. Likewise, if you study the Qur'an, it becomes your compass. You begin to see the inner structure, the ring composition, the coherence.We need to dig deeper. The Qur'an is not for the lazy. It calls us to think, reflect, and remember.What Are You Waiting For?Allah ends the Surah by asking us:أَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَIs it this statement (Qur'an) that you take lightly?And then reminds us of the moment of death:فَلَوْلَا إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ . تَرْجِعُونَهَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَThen why, if you are not to be recompensed, do you not return the soul – if you are truthful?This is the challenge. If we truly had power, we could stop death. But we can't.We now reach the final ayat of Surah al-Wāqiʿah, and once again, Allah brings our attention to the three categories of people.1. The MuqarrabūnFor the ones nearest to Allah, they receive:فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّةُ نَعِيمٍThen [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.These are people who go above the bare minimum. They chase virtue — extra prayers, fasting, charity — and draw close to Allah through constant remembrance and Qur'an.2. Ashābul-Yamīnفَسَلَامٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ“Peace for you” — from the people of the right.They fulfilled their obligations. They weren't perfect, but they remained faithful and upright.3. The Deniers and the Misguidedوَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الضَّالِّينَBut if he is from those who denied and were astray…They receive the opposite: punishment with scalding water and burning fire.Note how both traits are mentioned: denial and misguidance. It's not just about not knowing — it's rejecting after knowing.According to Imām al-Ghazālī, before a person is truly culpable for disbelief, five conditions must be met:* The message reaches them.* It is explained reasonably.* Doubts are clarified.* Time is given.* They still choose to reject.Yaqīn — The Stages of CertaintyAllah ends the Surah by declaring:إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِThis is the certainty of truth — ḥaqq al-yaqīn.The Qur'an speaks of three levels of yaqīn (certainty):* ʿIlm al-yaqīn — certainty through knowledge (e.g. seeing smoke and knowing there's fire)* ʿAyn al-yaqīn — certainty through seeing (you see the fire itself)* Ḥaqq al-yaqīn — certainty through experience (you touch the fire — and you're burned)We're meant to reach yaqīn through study and reflection, not wait for divine intervention or signs in the sky. That's why Allah constantly invites us to think.Dhikr ChallengeTry to say “ِسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الْعَظِيْم (SubḥānAllāh wa bihamdihi SubḥānAllāhi L-Azim)” 100 times in the morning.Make it a daily habit.فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِSo glorify the name of your Lord, the Most GreaA Final Du‘āاللَّهُمَّ ٱجْعَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ، وَمِنْ أَصْحَابِ ٱلْيَمِينِ، وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ ٱلضَّالِّينَO Allah, make us from those drawn near, from the people of the right, and protect us from being among the misguided.Next Week: Surah al-ḤujurātNext week, we begin a new series — Surah al-Ḥujurāt. It's a short surah, but packed with guidance on adab, community ethics, and dealing with others.See you then, in shā' Allāh. This is a public episode.

Episode 130 – Laurent Bouzereau on “Jaws at 50” In this special episode, I catch up with the legendary documentary filmmaker Laurent Bouzereau to discuss his latest project, Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story, premiering Friday 11th July at 8pm on National Geographic and streaming the same day on Disney+. Laurent, whose behind-the-scenes work on Jaws, Indiana Jones, and Spielberg has inspired me for years, reflects on the challenges of revisiting Jaws 30 years after his original 1995 documentary. We talk about the new angles he explored, from Spielberg's emotional recollections and rare 8mm footage to fresh perspectives from filmmakers like Guillermo del Toro, Jim Cameron, and Jordan Peele. Recorded on the fly on Martha's Vineyard during the Jaws 50th celebrations, this short but meaningful conversation touches on the legacy of Jaws, the humanity behind the production, and how Laurent's approach has shifted over the years.

Darren is back and we dive head-first into the DEEP BLUE SEA trilogy while trying to avoid becoming prey to the inevitable bad movie cliches.   Do the ILM visual effects for the original film still hold up or are they as dated as the JURASSIC PARK knock-off plot?   Why does the second one drown in its own blood?   Why does the third film have way more to offer than it has any right to be?   All that and predictions on the upcoming 4th entry!                 MAIN LINKS:  LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/JackedUpReviewShow/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2452329545040913 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackedUpReview  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacked_up_podcast/        SHOW LINKS: YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCIyMawFPgvOpOUhKcQo4eQQ   iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-jacked-up-review-show-59422651/   Podbean: https://jackedupreviewshow.podbean.com   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Eg8w0DNympD6SQXSj1X3M   Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast/id1494236218   RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/the-jacked-up-review-show-We4VjE   Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1494236218/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast   Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9hNDYyOTdjL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz   Anchor:  https://anchor.fm/s/a46297c/podcast/rss   PocketCasts: https://pca.st/0ncd5qp4   CastBox:  https://castbox.fm/channel/The-Jacked-Up-Review-Show-Podcast-id2591222   Discord:  https://discord.com/channels/796154005914779678/796154006358851586         #MovieReview #FilmTwitter #PodFamily #PodcastersOfInstagram #Movies #Film #Cinema #Music #Reviews #Retrospect #Podcasts #MutantFam #MutantFamily #actionmystery #bmovies #scifihorror #truecrime #historydramas #warmovies #podcastcollabs #hottakes #edgy #cultmovies #nsfw #HorrorFam #badass

Episode 129 – The Star Wars Influence: Live at the BFI's Film on Film Festival In this special live episode, I join Doug Weir—Remastering Lead at the BFI—and post-production veteran Paul Collard on stage for a panel titled The Star Wars Influence, recorded at the BFI's Film on Film Festival. Curated and hosted by Doug, the panel explores how George Lucas's frustrations with the Hollywood studio system led to a wave of technological innovation that forever changed the filmmaking landscape. From the creation of ILM to the invention of motion control, EditDroid, SoundDroid, and digital cinema tools, we look at how Lucas empowered a generation of problem-solvers and helped pioneer the digital workflow we now take for granted. This conversation took place just before a rare screening of Star Wars from a 35mm Technicolor dye-transfer print—an experience I'll be covering in more detail in a bonus episode coming soon. Topics include:Lucas's break from the traditional studio systemThe founding of ILM and the Dykstraflex motion control rigVistaVision, optical printers, and visual effects R&DThe origins of EditDroid and non-linear editingThe value of Technicolor dye-transfer printsLucasfilm's wider influence on Pixar, Avid, and beyondThanks again to Doug and Paul—and to the BFI for hosting such a thoughtful and inspiring event.Joe Alves Doco GoFundMeAll my links

In this fxpodcast, we speak with ILM's Chad Wiebe and Lee McNair to unpack the layers of work that went into some of the film's most complex sequences.

An episode that didn't just think outside the box—it questioned why there's a box in the first place!In Episode 143 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr Angela Kingdon continues our journey through the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture as we move onto Pillar 6 — Game Changing Innovation. Autistic innovation isn't about trends or flash. It's about paradigm shifts. It's about seeing what no one else is looking for, hyperfocusing on what matters, and rebuilding the world, system by system.Dr Angela looks deep into the game-changing transformations developed by Autistic game changers, such as Sir Isaac Newton, who invented Calculus, Sir Richard Branson's out-of-the-box business models, and Angela's father's innovations in creating build-your-own Hot Rod kit cars.Here's what defines this core Autistic trait:* Autistic people challenge assumptions, not to be difficult, but because we can see the assumptions in the first place.* Neurodivergent people innovate through sensory truth, emotional intensity, and process precision.* Autistic people don't disrupt the status quo to seek attention. We disrupt because the system doesn't make sense, and we can't unsee that.* Game changers in autistic culture often challenge capitalist efficiency with a call for meaning, integrity, and alignment.* Many autistic innovators aren't seen as leaders until the world catches up to their vision.* Historical and modern change agents in autistic culture often operate without blueprints, forging their own.Key Concepts:* Game-changing is not about chasing disruption for its own sake. It's about building entirely new paradigms based on noticing what others overlook.* Autistic game changers are pattern-breakers and system rewriters — not trend-followers.* Our deep focus and drive for autonomy let us find wholly new approaches to enduring problems.* Emotional intensity and sensory insights fuel world-building innovation.* It's often misunderstood or resisted because the new paradigm doesn't fit existing frameworks.

You're doing everything right — attending duroos, watching Islamic videos, filling pages with notes. But deep down… you're not changing. The more you learn, the more disconnected you feel. You thought seeking knowledge would soften your heart. But it's only making your head heavier. You're probably moving fast, but not forward. Why? Because somewhere along the way, we skipped what the Salaf never did. Study the explanation of Kitab al-ʿIlm by Imam Abu Khaythamah Zuhayr ibn Harb (d. 234 AH) — the teacher of five out of the six major hadith collectors. This book gathers over 160 narrations from the Prophet ﷺ, the Companions رضي الله عنهم, and the early scholars — not on fiqh or fatwa, but on how to seek knowledge the right way. It exposes the cracks in our foundations: - Learning without action - Studying without adab - Gaining facts but losing sincerity - Consuming lectures without any transformation If you've been chasing course after course, quoting scholars but ignoring your own tarbiyah — this is your reset.

The legend of 1995's Waterworld suggests that it was a huge flop and a criticial disaster. The truth? It was neither. But it was one of the toughest Hollywood productions of the 1990s, and its story continued even after the arduous shoot was complete. In this episode, Simon goes through the origins of the film as a low budget idea, right through to the emergence of a longer, alternate cut to the film: The Ulysses Cut. The second half of this episode is given over to Len Wiseman, who talks to Ryan Lambie about Ballerina, a lost moment in an OAP's home, Die Hard, getting fired from ILM, and working with Roland Emmerich.

Michael Ralla joins the podcast to share his journey through the world of visual effects, with a focus on his latest project as VFX Supervisor on the film Sinners. He discusses how he worked closely with cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, whose fearless approach to lighting and darkness pushed the creative envelope. The episode features a deep conversation about the differences between film and digital, the evolving language of color, and how these choices impact storytelling—insights that are especially relevant to the visual style of Sinners. Michael also opens up about his unconventional path into VFX, from his early ambitions as a heavy metal drummer to finding his footing in sound engineering, and ultimately discovering his passion for compositing. He reflects on his formative years at Scanline, learning the ropes through hands-on experience, and how that foundation led him to major studios like Digital Domain and ILM. Throughout the episode, Michael's candid perspective offers a rare look at the challenges and excitement of modern visual effects, as well as the importance of staying adaptable in an ever-changing industry.

In this episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, we're serving up a buffet of dystopia with a side of snark. First, Kuwait has finally realized crypto bros are an energy drain, not a feature. Celsius Network's founder gets 12 years for running a “safe investment” Ponzi scheme. And in Lopez v. Apple, we find yet another reason to question Cupertino's moral compass.Then it's time for a trip through the tech trash fire. DoorDash gobbles up Deliveroo, proving there's no such thing as too many overpriced salads. Google wants your kids to befriend Gemini—because what could go wrong giving tweens supervised AI access? Tesla's “Robotaxi” trademark gets the boot for being as generic as Elon's pickup lines. Meanwhile, Grok strips in public, deepfake porn sites get the axe, and dating app “Raw” rawdogs user data like it's the early 2000s internet. We also hit peak Black Mirror with brain-typed tweets, AI-resurrected relatives, and crypto kidnappers playing real-life GTA.On Media Candy, the streaming overlords dump trailers like Halloween candy. Squid Game is back to traumatize you, Star Trek: Lower Decks keeps boldly going where no animated series should, and The Old Guard 2 teases a Theron-vs-Thurman sword fight. Plus, Apple's UX team found the “enhance” button, Netflix wants to be helpful (lol), and Google dreams of becoming a Hollywood darling. Over in Apps & Doodads, Apple wants to stagger iPhone drops, Disney sells you a $3,000 droid with zero sass, and Smart Flowerpots are now a thing because apparently, you can't be trusted to water your plant.And finally, it's time for The Dark Side with Dave, where Bittner brings us malware, click tracks, fake vocals, and the shocking truth about KISS's lipsync disaster in Antwerp. We also dip into ILM's jaw-dropping legacy, Star Wars' shady back alleys, and a new Disneyland in Abu Dhabi, because nothing says “happiest place on Earth” like 120°F desert heat.

Jon was witness to a number of milestones in the history of visual effects, and throughout the episode, Jon shares numerous stories from his long career at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), granting us insight into a time he likens to as the Italian Renaissance. From optical printers to artificial intelligence, Jon shares his experiences working with the many pieces of technology responsible for manipulating images, and he reveals the level of focus he and his colleagues at ILM shared when it came to problem-solving (even during an earthquake!). In addition to his work in film, Jon has also worked on projects for The Sphere in Las Vegas, and he shares what he believes to be the distinctive traits of and the possible uses for the new technology. Jon also reveals what he saw as a groundbreaking advancement in visual effects while working on HOWARD THE DUCK, and we compare past and present VFX techniques.
