Happy Halloween Eve, folks! This week on the podcast, we continue our remake vs original theme by discussing one of Stephen King's most iconic stories—Carrie. First adapted by Brian De Palma in 1976, the film became a cultural touchstone, cementing its place in horror history with unforgettable performances and one of cinema's most haunting finales. Nearly four decades later, Kimberly Peirce's 2013 remake attempted to bring the story into the modern age, complete with cyberbullying, viral humiliation, and CGI-driven destruction. We break down both versions, examining how Sissy Spacek's painfully vulnerable Carrie compares to Chloë Grace Moretz's more confident take, and how Piper Laurie's religious fanatic Margaret White contrasts with Julianne Moore's psychologically abusive portrayal. Along the way, we explore the themes of puberty, repression, bullying, and revenge, and ask the ultimate question: Does the remake add new depth to the story, or does it remain in the shadow of a classic?Thank you, everyone, for your support. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out on Instagram at @so_you_like_horror or email us directly at soyoulikehorror@gmail.com. We're open to all conversations, suggestions, topics, and criticisms.

Animals in movies the topic of this interview with the Senior Vice President of PETA, Lisa Lange. As technology progresses the use of digital effects to portray animals is increasing. CGI, animatronics etc are preventing the abuse and trauma these poor animals in Hollywood go through. Listen to this one, very encouraging.
This old school sports movie - a near remake of the classic Robert Redford baseball movie, The Natural - is built entirely out of cliches and hokum, and I kinda love it. Brad is ace, they don't rely on a wall of CGI and everything radiates good looking, exciting fun. They don't make em like this (much) anymore.

This week on Shoot the Hostage we're returning to the pixelated trenches of video-game movies with Warcraft (2016). Expect our usual attempt into film analysis, swearing and enough spoilers to fill a dungeon raid – so make sure you've seen the film before you click that listen button. We're plunging into the world of Azeroth, scrutinising director Duncan Jones's vision and whether this computer game adaptation managed to capture the spirit of its massive source material, or if it ended up being an orc-wad cinematic experience. Join us as we explore the film's cast, from Travis Fimmel's Lothar to Paula Patton's Garona, and the king himself, Dominic Cooper. We'll also dive into the surprisingly stellar CGI for the Orcs (shout out Tobey Kebbell's incredible mocap performance as Durotan!) contrasting with some of the physical sets, props and costumes. Here's what to expect from this week's expedition: We'll dissect Duncan Jones's direction and his legacy after Moon and Source Code. Dan will most likely bemoan the fantasy elements, possibly making a prerequisite joke about punching horses (which you should never do!) Sarah will share her perspective as a World of Warcraft player, but not the games this film is based on. Opinions on the seemingly split fan and critical reception. We'll question if the films $160 million budget was truly visible on screen, especially concerning costumes. We'll dive into the character portrayals by Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Toby Kebbell, and even the wasted talents of Ruth Negga. Debate on whether the film's “information overload” is too obtuse for newcomers. Would you like to see the full lineup for season 12?

Join us as explore a sadly underrated gem, The Last Starfighter. It's every video game kid's dream: get so good at a video game that an alien comes down and asks you to save the universe.

For decades thousands of pregnant women across the UK were prescribed the drug Diethlystilbestrol or DES, a synthetic hormone that was meant to help prevent miscarriage. But the drug left a legacy of life-altering health problems for some of their children, including infertility and rare cancers. Anita Rani speaks to ITV Social Affairs Correspondent Sarah Corker who has investigated what they are calling a medical scandal that continues to devastate lives, talking to the women who say more must be done to help those exposed to the drug as new concerns emerge over the impact of DES on a third generation. Author Heather Morris wrote The Tattooist of Auschwitz, which went on to become one of the bestselling books of the 21st century. Her new novel, The Wish, follows Jesse, a 15-year-old with terminal leukaemia who wants to have a digital 3D recreation of her life for her family and friends. To accomplish this, she connects with Alex, a lonely CGI designer. The book explores their unlikely friendship and its impact on both of their lives. Heather joins Anita to talk about mortality, family, healing through connection and what it means to be remembered.Last week we heard from three women who have had a loved one take their own life. They spoke honestly and movingly about what happened to them in the immediate and long term aftermath of such a loss. Today we are taking a look at the historical context of suicide. Anita speaks to BBC New Generation thinker Dr Stephanie Brown, who is Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Hull and doing research in this area. In 2023 Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder on the Dancefloor went viral on TikTok after Emerald Fennell used it in a key scene in the film, Saltburn. That resurgence, along with her popular Kitchen Discos that got lots of us through the lockdown set the scene for her bravely titled new album, Perimenopop, which is released tomorrow, a celebration of womanhood in middle age. Sophie joins Anita in the Woman's Hour studio.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

The Conjuring: Last Rites promises a terrifying farewell for Ed and Lorraine Warren — but does it actually deliver? In this episode of Reactioncast, I break down the performances, the haunted mirror storyline, and why the scares don't quite hit like they used to. From pacing issues to a CGI-heavy finale, we're asking the big question: is this really the end of the franchise, or just another forgettable entry?

Leadership Lessons from Show Business In this episode, Tom and Adrienne chat with Steven Puri and trace his unexpected path from a “code monkey” in Northern Virginia to an Academy Award–winning visual-effects producer and later a tech entrepreneur. Steven shares how he bridged left-brain engineering and right-brain creativity on films like Independence Day, Braveheart, and several David Fincher projects. He reflects on lessons learned in Hollywood—managing creatives, nurturing “lightbulb” moments, and building culture—that carry over into hybrid and remote leadership. Long before remote work became a buzzword, Steven was orchestrating VFX teams across studios in Los Angeles, London, and Sydney, balancing creative, financial, and logistical mindsets over distance—an early test of distributed leadership that today's managers face. Throughout the conversation, candid anecdotes like the famed “Bart” trailer story illustrate why inviting every voice can spark game-changing ideas. As our work (and often our brains) has scattered in today's culture, Steven is dedicated to bringing us the tools for intentional focus. Here are a few of the gems gleaned from this fun and flowing conversation: Embrace Diverse Talents: Success in both film and tech comes from uniting creatives, technical experts, and business minds around a shared goal, much like assembling a movie crew. Manage Creativity with Intention: Great leaders know how to create the right environment for creativity—sometimes by giving people more than one project, or by encouraging "rubber ducking" (talking through problems out loud). Best Idea Wins Culture: The most effective teams foster a safe space where anyone, regardless of role, can contribute ideas—echoing Steven Spielberg's approach of valuing input from everyone, even the “coffee boy.” Hire for Passion and Culture Fit: Skills can be developed, but passion and alignment with the team's mission are essential. Hiring the right people is more important than micromanaging. Purposeful Markers and Storytelling: Leaders should set clear markers and use storytelling to help teams understand where they are and where they're going, just as a film uses acts and foreshadowing. Active Listening is Key: The best leaders practice active listening, seeking feedback from users, team members, and even critics, and using it to improve. Leadership is a Practice: Leadership isn't just a set of concepts—it's something you do and refine every day, much like honing a craft in show business. Steven is the Founder and CEO of The Sukha Company with the mission to help millions of people find their focus, achieve more and have a healthy work life. Steven's career started as a newscaster/interviewer for the #1 youth news show in the DC/Baltimore market (on WTTG-TV) and then as a junior software engineer & Thomas J. Watson Scholar at IBM. After attending USC in Los Angeles, he began working in film production and produced computer-generated visual effects for 14 movies including Independence Day which won the Academy Award for Visual Effects. Steven's first tech company was Centropolis Effects that produced those CGI effects, and he eventually sold it to the German media conglomerate Das Werk when he was 28. Steven then produced some indie films and eventually went studio-side to develop and produce live-action features as a VP of Development & Production at 20th Century Fox (running the Die Hard and Wolverine franchises) and an EVP at DreamWorks Pictures for Kurtzman-Orci Productions where he worked on Star Trek, Transformers and more. After Fox, Steven returned to building tech companies and founded The Sukha Company - ‘sukha' means ‘happiness from self-fulfillment' in Sanskrit. The Sukha is a focus app that bundles all the tools necessary to have a focused experience and a healthy, productive workday. Steven lives in Austin, TX now.

This week, we're trying to help fight Alzheimers by genetically engineering mako sharks. Why you ask? Because this is a Renny Harlin's late 90s action horror Deep Blue Sea. Featuring an absolutely stacked cast including a pre The Punisher Thomas Jane, Samuel L. Jackson (I don't think we do any Pulp Fiction quotes somehow), and LL Cool J (because it's not a late 90s blockbuster horror without an American rapper), what's not to love? We discuss Robbie's thalassophobia, the shark attacks, some behind the scenes tidbits and some great practical effects but bad CGI. Is this the greatest shark film after Jaws, or is it dead in the water? Please remember to hit that subscribe button and leave us a lovely review.

Welcome back to Not a Bomb! This is the podcast where we claw into cinema's biggest box office cat-astrophes and decide if they deserve a second life. We're feline pretty proud to be celebrating five years of batting around cinematic flops (the cat puns are just beginning, folks)!The Catwoman episode from Not A Bomb sounds like a glorious descent into the litter box of superhero cinema. Directed by Pitof (yes, just Pitof), this 2004 disaster ditched DC's iconic Selina Kyle for a leather-clad, basketball-playing Halle Berry—who somehow went from Oscar royalty to dodging CGI cats and shampoo-fueled villainy in under two hours. The film couldn't use Batman, Gotham, or any recognizable lore, and yet it still managed to purr its way into infamy.But leave it to Not A Bomb to find the silver whisker in the furball. With Jose from Watch Skip Plus bringing his signature energy, Troy suffering existential dread, and Brad unleashing a barrage of feline puns, this episode promises to be a riot. Whether Catwoman is a misunderstood gem or just a cinematic hairball, the debate is worth the listen.If you're ready to hear grown men meow through movie trauma, this is the episode to curl up with.

In this episode of ClassHorrorCast, we unlock the doors to the twisted, blood-soaked funhouse that is House on Haunted Hill (1999).Part remake of William Castle's 1959 classic and part late-'90s horror fever dream, this Dark Castle Entertainment debut gave us Geoffrey Rush as a delightfully unhinged theme park tycoon, Famke Janssen as his venomous wife, and a haunted asylum packed with gruesome secrets.We dig into the film's wild mix of campy performances, stylish set design, and early CGI ghost work — and debate whether it's genuinely terrifying or just gloriously over-the-top trash.Along the way, we talk behind-the-scenes stories, the creative team's vision, and how the movie helped kick off a short but memorable wave of high-concept horror remakes in the early 2000s.From unforgettable gore moments to that infamous Vincent Price-inspired smirk, we revisit House on Haunted Hill to decide if it's a haunted masterpiece, a guilty pleasure, or both.If you enjoyed this - Check out my other content here - https://linktr.ee/FirstClassHorrorBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/class-horror-cast--4295531/support.

In this episode, we break down Inception and tackle the movie's biggest question: was Cobb still dreaming at the end? Christopher Nolan leaves the finale intentionally ambiguous, but when you look closely at the layers of storytelling, symbolism, and visual details, there are clues that point to a deeper answer. We dig into the spinning top, Cobb's emotional journey, and why the ending works no matter what you believe. Whether you think it was reality or one final dream, this breakdown unpacks why the ending of Inception continues to fascinate audiences more than a decade later.

Hey everyone! Welcome back to RIffin. Today, we’re going to talk about something that’s been making waves lately: AI versus CGI. You know, the whole debate about which one is better. And guess what? Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are engaged! Can you believe it? And get this - he got her a diamond ring. Now, I know what you’re thinking: are diamonds really worth all that? Well, we’re going to dive into that question and see what we can find out. Stay tuned!

We've been hard at work only discussing movies with anniversaries this year, and to show his displeasure, Matt chose to punish us all with the unwatchable BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR (2010). Arguably one of the worst movies ever made. it really lives up to the hype and is without a doubt the dumbest thing we've ever discussed on the show. Hope you like terrible CGI bird clipart flapping in the foreground (though an argument can be made that it takes away some of the sting of the absolutely stupid dialogue).

Send us a textEveryone loves Keanu, but none of you listened to us talk about him in this episode the first time, so we're trotting it out again. Maybe it was because we were only 10 episodes into our podcast career or, more likely, our enormous lack of talent that kept you all away. Either way; Who cares? In this glorious 90s action flick we are constantly reminded of how cool things used to be in the movie theater. Great stories, great acting, and no unnecessary CGI. Keanu and Sandy are cute as bugs and the ever whacked out Dennis Hopper keeps the joint hoppin for the entire two hrs. Pop Quiz, hot shot. How do make an awesome action movie? Listen in to find out.
In this episode, we dive deep into Ozzy Osbourne's “Back to the Beginning” final concert and discuss whether Sammy Hagar was the low point of the show.Do the old Marvel movies still hold up, or were they just great at the time? We debate how the newer films lean too heavily on cheap pops and flashy money shots. Falcon and The Winter Soldier has aged well, but its follow-ups felt forced.We also get into She-Hulk, Daredevil, Thunderbolts, and Captain America: New World Order, with a special focus on Ironheart's mishandling by Disney and whether her appearance in Wakanda Forever was a misstep.We revisit how some older CGI still holds up better than today's, and compare it to the over-reliance on CGI in modern films. Finally, we round things off with a look at the new Superman movie, highlighting all the things it got right — from casting, tone, and hopefulness to Lex Luthor, Krypto, and the Daily Planet.

Ghislaine Maxwell, now a convicted sex trafficker serving a 20-year sentence, was surprisingly honored at the 2013 Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) conference—even as allegations of her involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking ring had already been publicly circulating. At the CGI, her nonprofit, the TerraMar Project, was spotlighted with a “Commitment to Action” recognition, and she received applause during an ocean-conservation luncheon. This recognition occurred despite a 2011 internal directive from Clinton aide Doug Band to bar her from Clinton-related events.Clinton Foundation officials stated that over 600 complimentary passes were authorized for the 2013 event at the staff level—including the office of former President Clinton—and insisted that the Clintons had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes. Still, some sources suggest Maxwell's inclusion may have required personal approval from Bill or Hillary Clinton, raising fresh scrutiny.

This week on Another Pass, Case and Sam are joined by guest Sean Muir to dissect the late '90s sci-fi horror flick Virus—a movie where bad wiring meets worse decisions. Together, they explore the film's potential, its squandered setup, and how it almost became the Event Horizon of killer robot movies. #AnotherPass #Virus1999 #JamieLeeCurtis #DonaldSutherland #SeanMuir #SciFiHorror #FlawedButFascinating Another Pass Full Episode Originally aired: August 22, 2025 Music by Vin Macri and Matt Brogan Podcast Edited by Sophia Ricciardi Certain Point Of View is a podcast network brining you all sorts of nerdy goodness!

The film was released in January 1999, originally scheduled for late 1998, but was a commercial failure, earning only half of its budget back with critical reviews reflecting its shortcomings. Discussion revealed that the movie heavily referenced better films like The Thing and Alien, being described as merely an 'outline of a movie', lacking the depth expected from the genre. The technical achievements of Phil Tippett's animatronics were praised, although criticized for being too bright for the intended horror atmosphere, while CGI elements did not hold up well. Cultural shifts post-9/11 were noted as a change in audience appetite for sci-fi horror, marking an end to the late 90s creature feature trend seen in films like Independence Day. Character development was weak, with the consensus that Billy Baldwin's role could be eliminated without impacting the story; Sherman Augustus's character identified as the most promising but underutilized. Proposed a campier direction for the film, featuring humans viewed as 'uncouth' by aliens, which could yield more engaging content and interactions among the crew. Suggested removing the opening space scene to enhance suspense, providing a fresher take on alien threat revelation and deepening story engagement. Critique noted inconsistencies in character portrayals Notes ️ Episode Introduction & Setup (00:00 - 10:25) Case Aiken and Sam Alicea welcome guest Sean Muir (Movie Midness) to discuss the 1999 sci-fi horror film 'Virus'. Both Case and Sam were unfamiliar with the film despite it featuring notable actors and being from 1999, highlighting how obscure it became. John Bruno left his VFX supervisor position on Titanic to direct this film, but his career trajectory after this movie remains unclear. The movie appears made for cyberpunk enthusiasts, sci-fi nerds, and specifically mentioned Billy Idol during his cyberpunk phase after missing the T-1000 role in Terminator 2. Movie Plot Summary & Analysis (07:40 - 20:48) Film opens with Russian space station receiving alien energy that transfers to communication ship; American tugboat crew discovers abandoned vessel during hurricane and faces killer machines. Features Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Sutherland, Billy Baldwin, and Cliff Curtis; Sam expresses confusion about Billy Baldwin's casting choices. Film draws heavily from better movies including The Thing, Alien, Event Horizon, and Ghost Ship; described as feeling like an 'outline of a movie'. Movie was a commercial bomb, earning only half its budget back and receiving harsh critical reviews. ️ Technical & Production Discussion (20:49 - 40:48) Phil Tippett's animatronics work praised as excellent, though perhaps too well-lit for horror atmosphere; practical effects hold up better than CGI elements. Late 90s represented end of creature feature era; audiences moving toward CGI spectacle seen in films like Independence Day and Jurassic Park sequels. Discussion of how cultural tastes changed dramatically after 9/11, affecting appetite for this type of sci-fi horror content. Movie reused ship from The Abyss and other James Cameron productions; originally scheduled for 1998 release but moved to January 1999 'dump month'. Character & Story Analysis (40:48 - 01:02:22) Crew relationships underdeveloped compared to superior ensemble films like Aliens; characters lack memorable personality moments. Consensus that Billy Baldwin's character adds nothing to the film and could be completely removed without impact. Sherman Augustus's character Richie identified as film's best, showing intelligence and survival instincts that should have made him the protagonist. Central concept of humans being the 'virus' poorly executed compared to The Matrix (same year) or later films like Arrival. Pitch Session - Campy Direction (01:02:23 - 01:12:53) Proposes making film campier with Galactic Union of Planets deciding humans are 'uncouth' and sending computer virus to eliminate them efficiently. Suggests more scenes of Richie building weapons from robot parts and crew creating makeshift tools for survival. Proposes aliens are annoyed by human space transmissions like 'intergalactic Mormons' constantly trying to make contact. More creative use of ship's manufacturing equipment turned into weapons. Technical Improvement Suggestions (01:12:53 - 01:22:35) Sean criticizes inconsistent Scottish accent performance, suggests either full commitment or using natural voice. Marshall Bell (Woods) needs better pain expression training for nail gun injury scenes. Second wall of hurricane not properly represented with appropriate ship movement and chaos during climax. Movie lacks clear layout understanding, unlike Die Hard's excellent building geography that aids tension. Horror Direction Alternative (01:16:55 - 01:22:35) Remove opening space station scene, make it flashback told by Nadia; focus on mystery and unknown threat. Give Jamie Lee Curtis's Kit Foster more personal stakes and character arc beyond basic competence. Build more suspense through delayed revelation of alien threat; explore 'humans as virus' theme more thoroughly. Better utilize ship's impressive technical areas and create clearer navigation understanding. Wrap-up & Social Media (01:22:35 - 01:27:59) Sean Muir promotes Movie Midness Instagram, Letterboxd, and YouTube profiles featuring movie analysis and model train scene recreations. Thanks to executive producer level supporters including Micah McCaw, Carter Hallett, Sean Muir, and others. Highlander 2: The Quickening announced as next film for discussion.

Your Stupid Minds returns to computer with a sequel to 1992's cyber thriller The Lawnmower Man. Except 1996's Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace (or is it Jobe's War?) is bigger, dumber, and significantly less financially successful, somehow opening at #19 in the box office on 1,600 screens. Starring no one from the original movie except Austin O'Brien. Peter (O'Brien) is an orphaned street urchin on the mean streets of cyberpunk L.A. And when it's cyberpunk L.A. you know what that means! It's perpetually night, it's torrentially raining, and people are warming their hands on fire barrels to counteract Southern California's famously cold climate. We can assume some kind of nuclear winter has set in, but it's never mentioned. Peter and his cadre of Burger King Kids Club members (including a dog) live in an abandoned subway tunnel and hack into cyberspace using stolen phone cards. That's where he recognizes Jobe (Matt Frewer) despite his dying in the last movie and being recast in this one as a completely different type of guy. Jobe wants him to get in contact with Dr. Benjamin Trace (Patrick Bergin) a replacement for Pierce Brosnan's Dr. Lawrence Angelo from the last movie. Once they get in contact, Jobe is trying to crack open the Chiron Chip so he can do evil cyberspace stuff. His friendly facade quickly crumbles and he starts doing his Jim Carrey Riddler imitation that Frewer eventually perfects in Generation X. What follows up until the last ten minutes isn't particularly important. Trace must do a CGI sword fight with Jobe to restore order or something. Also the dog can insert mini CD-ROMs with his paw.

This week on Mostly Horror, we're kicking back with horror influencer Gigi Leal (@RoomforScream) for a proper Horror Hangout.We start with the question on everyone's mind: what exactly is going on with this new War of the Worlds movie starring Ice Cube? It's a screen-life take on the H.G. Wells classic, dropped on Prime Video in July, and somehow managed to land a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Depending on who you ask, it's either a chaotic disaster full of bad CGI and shameless product placement or a campy mess worth watching with friends.Then Sean talks about the thing he's actually excited for: Last Podcast on the Left's Henry Zebrowski is working on an alien comedy called UFO: Unbelievably Friendly Organisms. Details are scarce, but the title alone already has us sold.From there, Gigi brings some sharp horror hot takes, we trade recommendations you'll want to add to your watchlist immediately, and end up covering everything from comfort horror to movies that make you want to scream into the void.If you're into horror news, spicy opinions, and finding your next favorite creepy flick, this one's for you sooo...COME HANG OUT!!!Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage (all socials)Sean: @hypocrite.ink (IG/TikTok), @hypocriteink (Twitter/X)Enjoyed this episode?

What do typhoon evacuations, koala selfies, and second breakfast in Hobbiton have in common? They've all been part of Deacon Bob's adventurous month. After a few weeks apart, Father Dave and Deacon Bob are back, swapping globe-trotting tales, ministry moments, and a surprisingly full slate of sports updates. Bob's recent trip took him from the typhoon-swept Philippines to Singapore, Perth, Sydney, and a bucket-list stop in New Zealand's Hobbiton (yes, complete with hobbit holes, the Green Dragon Inn, and second breakfast). Along the way, he preached to 90 youth leaders just hours after a typhoon hit, met a koala, saw kangaroos, and even met a listener named Rain who drove five hours just to hear him speak. There were plenty of memorable meals, from perfect pancakes to less-than-crispy bacon. Meanwhile, Father Dave stayed stateside, baptizing great-nieces (one walked to her own baptism), speaking at the Knights of Columbus Conference, and making a moving visit to the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine in Oklahoma City. He shares Rother's remarkable story—from failing Latin in seminary, to obeying his bishop's call to return to Guatemala, to his martyrdom in 1981—and the beauty of a shrine built right in the heart of the city it serves. Sports fans get plenty too: the debut of MLB's first female umpire Jen Pawol (including her Hall of Fame–bound first pitch), Tom Brady's towering new statue, and even a trivia challenge about the University of Michigan making draft history. Naturally, there are detours, including CGI vs. AI, bad sports statues, and ministry moments that transcended cultural boundaries. But through it all, the heart stays the same: joyfully sharing the Gospel, wherever God sends you (even if it's to a sheep paddock in New Zealand). Highlighted Sections (00:00) Sports, Schedules, and Saying Goodbye The guys open with bittersweet news about the podcast winding down, why recording has gotten harder, and an invitation for listeners to share favorite memories. They then go into the week's light sports slate and review the new Superman. Even with the end in sight, their trademark banter is alive and well. (05:41) Football, Statues, and Sports Trivia Deacon Bob previews a Buccaneers-Steelers preseason game while Father Dave looks forward to Steelers training camp. They discuss Tom Brady's towering statue and celebrate Jen Pawol historic debut as MLB's first female umpire. The segment wraps with a trivia challenge about a university making draft history in all four major leagues. (15:44) From Typhoons to Hobbit Holes Bob recounts ministry in the Philippines, Perth, and New Zealand, including speaking to youth leaders after a typhoon and connecting with alumni abroad. He describes walking through the Shire set from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, complete with hobbit holes and the Green Dragon Inn. Jenny may not be a huge fan of the films, but even she found the tour magical. (23:42) Sydney, Koalas, and the Ends of the Earth From welcoming bishops to preaching across cultures, Bob reflects on moments when the Holy Spirit's anointing was tangible. He shares encounters with young adults, a koala, and a listener who drove five hours to hear him speak. Each stop reaffirmed the universal joy of sharing the Gospel. (25:42) Baptisms, Knights, and Blessed Stanley Rother Father Dave talks about baptizing his great-nieces and representing Franciscan University at the Knights of Columbus Conference. He shares the moving story of Blessed Stanley Rother a missionary priest martyred in Guatemala, and describes visiting the shrine dedicated to him. The witness of Rother's courage and devotion left a lasting impression. (32:37) Feast Days and a Chapel Blessing Looking ahead to the Feast of the Assumption they pray for peace amid global tensions. Father Dave previews the blessing of Franciscan University's newly renovated Christ the King Chapel, while Bob outlines upcoming speaking engagements. The conversation closes with anticipation for the start of the school year.
