Which island is your marriage on right now? In this episode, we share a simple but eye-opening framework we call The 3 Islands of Marriage: Dysfunction, Function, and Connection. Marriage naturally moves through different states depending on the season you're in. Stress, transitions, parenting, unresolved conflict, or even just routine can shift where you and your partner are emotionally. We break down: • What each island looks and feels like • The subtle signs you may be drifting • And the practical steps to move toward Connection Island Every couple will land on different islands at different times. The goal isn't to panic — it's to recognize where you are and take intentional steps forward. Because time alone doesn't move a marriage back to a healthy place. Awareness and action do. If you've been feeling disconnected, stuck in conflict, or just functioning but not truly close, this episode will help you figure out your next move.   Relationship Resources Mentioned  1) Moving from Dysfunction to Function island - watch the 5 Root Causes webclass or do the Rebuilding Us Challenge 2) Moving from Function to Connection island - start the Prioritize Us couples Challenge.  Each of these resources and more can be found at: https://meetthefreemans.com/links

Beyond the "Novelty": The Untold Origins of Asian and Pacific Islander Football PioneersWhen we think of Polynesian dominance in the NFL today, names like Troy Polamalu, Puka Nacua, and Marcus Mariota immediately come to mind. The islands have become a powerhouse for football talent, but the roots of this tradition go back much further than most fans realize.In a recent episode of the Pigpen podcast, host Darin Hayes sat down with Tim Brown of Football Archaeology to uncover the forgotten history of the first Asian and Pacific Islander (API) players to lace up their cleats and change the game.The Early Days: Foreign Nationals and Walk-OnsLong before the 1960s brought major shifts in sports integration, a small group of Asian players was already making waves in college football. Interestingly, many of these early pioneers weren't domestic recruits but foreign nationals.During the late 1800s, wealthy families and government officials from China and Japan often sent their children to the U.S. and Europe for education. These students brought back more than just engineering degrees; they brought back a love for American sports.The "Exchange Student" Athlete: Many of these students were natural athletes who joined football teams as walk-ons to better acculturate to American life.A Multi-Sport Legacy: Tim Brown highlights one standout at the University of Pennsylvania who was not only a varsity baseball player but also one of the top tennis players of his era before trying his hand at football.From the Islands to the Iron: Walter "Sneeze" AchiuWhile Asian players appeared on the East Coast as early as the late 1800s, it wasn't until the 1920s that we saw the first identified Pacific Islander make a mark. That man was Walter Achiu.Achiu's journey is a fascinating look at the "hidden" pipelines of early football. A standout at the St. Louis School (then St. Louis College) in Honolulu—a Catholic school that still produces NFL talent today—Achiu ended up playing for the University of Dayton.Why Dayton? It turns out both schools were run by the same Catholic order, creating a bridge from the tropical islands to the Ohio gridiron.The First API Star in the NFLAchiu was a dual-threat star, captaining the track team and playing halfback and quarterback. In 1927, he broke the ultimate barrier by joining the Dayton Triangles, making him the first Asian and Pacific Islander player in NFL history."His race was half of his football identity in the press. They'd call him 'The Chinese' or 'Native Islander'—it was a novelty to the media of the time, regardless of his actual skill on the field." — Tim BrownHis nickname, "Sneeze," reportedly came from his surname, Achiu (pronounced Ah-choo), which he told fans was "just like a sneeze" to help them remember it.A Legacy Beyond the GridironLike many players of the era, Achiu's athletic career didn't end with the NFL. He transitioned into professional wrestling, a career he maintained into the 1950s. While he held an electrical engineering degree, the lure of the ring (and the better pay) kept him in the spotlight for decades.Today, we see a heavy influence of Samoan and Hawaiian players across every level of football. While they are no longer viewed as "novelties" or "attractions," it is important to remember the pioneers like Walter Achiu who traveled thousands of miles to prove that the game of football...

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Our local MP, Aaron Gunn, is holding a series of town hall meetings in the North-Island Powell River riding. He will be in Courtenay tonight (Feb 17), Campbell River on February 21, Port McNeil on March 16 and Powell River on March 19.  Gunn may also come to Cortes Island, but the dates have not been set.  Aaron Gunn: " We want to come to Cortes, but if I just come to Cortes with no plan - I haven't really accomplished anything other than a photo op. So we always try to set up some kind of coffee or meeting where people that live there know that I'm coming and if they want to come and engage, they have an opportunity to do so." Cortes Currents: We will promote it on the radio. We will promote it over our bulletin board. It's called the Tideline. The size of the crowd's hard to tell, could be as few as 20, or as many as 100. The hundred would be surprising, but who knows? We haven't had a Conservative candidate or politician on the island for years. Aaron Gunn: It's always better to have more people show up, but the most important thing from my perspective is you give everyone an opportunity to come out and voice their opinions and ask their questions. Different communities certainly have different amounts of political engagement. Power River has an incredible amount of engagement for the size of its community.We'll see how the Comox Valley goes tomorrow, but of course only half of the valley's in my riding. So a bunch of people who I'm not representing might show up at the door, but that's okay." While the Conservative party saw increased support on Cortes during the last election, Gunn will face a variety of perspectives.  Max Thaysen, the alternate director for Cortes Island and co-leader of the Cortes Climate Action Network, responded, "I welcome him to come and I will be happy to ask him some questions, find out more about what he thinks about some really important stuff. I think having open and public dialogue with people who've been elected to the House of Commons is very important. There were some early concerns that Aaron Gunn was not interested in hearing from constituents. That was something that I heard in a few different places from people who were trying to get hold of him to share their concerns with him. I think he's become more open to hearing from people and sharing with them. That's a good thing." "I also want to say that, as a very climate concerned person, I am very concerned about the public position that the Conservative party has taken. It borders on climate denial and that is very dangerous. I think we'll have some pretty serious conversations to have. I hope we get lots of people out. It should be fun. Come bring your own questions." Cortes Currents asked Gunn what he hoped to achieve through his town hall meetings. Aaron Gunn: "The primary vision is to give constituents an opportunity to hear directly from me and ask any questions that might be on their mind. We get hundreds of emails every week and try to meet with as many constituents as possible, but this is a very efficient and transparent way to engage with the people that you're representing and give them a chance to hold you accountable."

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Cortes Island's second housing survey was launched on Wednesday, February 11, 2026. Like the first housing survey conducted a little more than two years ago, this was a joint endeavour between Regional Director Mark Vonesch and the Cortes Housing Society, who together provided a look at the first responses to the 2026 survey. There had already been 70 respondents when Cortes Currents interviewed Sadhu Johnston a day after the release. Sadhu Johnston: "The first survey was really, really helpful for us in guiding the work of the Cortes Housing Society. We wanted to do another housing survey to gauge where people are at and how they're feeling about the housing challenges on Cortes. Also, for us, as we're building out Rainbow Ridge, it helps to get clarity on what people are looking for in terms of their housing needs. We want to make sure we're building the right size units, the right number of bedrooms, and things of that nature," he explained. Cortes Currents: By the time Mark Vonesch was available to comment on Sunday, the number of respondents had grown to 170. Mark Vonesch: "Having data helps us make good decisions. We did a housing survey two years ago and we just released a new housing survey earlier this week. We asked similar questions to understand people's lived experience with housing, both as owners and renters. Then we added a few more questions drilling down into some of the challenges that people are having, and we asked some opinion questions on policy decisions." "We've had 170 people fill out the survey so far, which is about 15% of the island. I would like to see at least another hundred people. So, if you're listening to this and you haven't filled out the housing survey, it just takes a few minutes. The link is on the Tideline. If you subscribe to my newsletter list, it's been released there, and through the Housing Society's social media and newsletter as well. I'm also putting it up on Tideline and we've mailed it out to all the mailboxes that receive drop mail on Cortes. We're hoping to increase the number of people that fill it out this year. Last time, we had almost 25% of the island fill it out, which is huge for a survey, but obviously the more people that fill it out, the better." Cortes Currents: How long do people have to fill it out? Mark Vonesch: "We are running the survey until March 6th. We're running it for a similar time as last time—roughly three weeks—so there's lots of time for people to fill it out, but the earlier the better. We've made a few changes this year."

In this episode with all five pastors we gather around the table for a wide-ranging, honest, and often hilarious conversation that moves from Super Bowl reactions and Winter Olympics highlights to the far more important question: Who is Jesus, really?Along the way, the guys chase a few classic rabbit trails—awkward mic moments, Seahawk debates, Olympic sports that defy logic, and church event cancellations—but eventually land on a thoughtful and timely discussion about cults, world religions, and the truth claims of biblical Christianity.A significant portion of the conversation centers on Jehovah's Witness beliefs, the reliability of Bible translations, and why the deity of Christ is not a side issue, but the foundation of the Christian faith. The pastors reflect on Sunday's sermon, explore how subtle changes in Scripture can lead to massive theological shifts, and offer practical guidance on how to engage Jehovah's Witnesses (and others) with grace, truth, and thoughtful questions rather than arguments.The episode closes with a pastoral reflection on why the resurrection matters, what it means if Jesus truly is God, and how that reality transforms faith from religion into relationship—and authority into hope.As always, expect laughter, honesty, and gospel-centered conversation as we chase the rabbit together.New episodes drop every Tuesday.Recorded at First Baptist Church of the Islands, Savannah, GA

Ever felt like you're building an empire on an island, carrying the entire mental load of your business while wondering why there isn't a roadmap for women like you? Scaling to the top of this industry requires more than just strategy; it requires the grit to go first and the heart to bring others with you.In this episode, I'm joined by the legendary Lisa Roads, a trailblazer who grew a UK property portfolio into a powerhouse managing over 175 luxury villas in Cyprus, all while pioneering a movement for women in hospitality.We talk about:How Lisa spotted a gap in the Cyprus market and scaled to 175+ luxury units before the industry had a manual.The raw reality of the loneliness and lack of support that often comes with rapid growth.Why Lisa is dedicated to solving the representation crisis and lifting the "unique burdens" women face in property management.The essential boundaries you must set to ensure your business doesn't consume your life.But this isn't just about property counts or profit margins. It's about reclaiming the narrative of the female entrepreneur. You'll hear why true success isn't just about the daring leaps you take for yourself, but about the space you carve out for others to be heard, supported, and celebrated.If you've ever felt the weight of being the "only one" in the room or are ready to scale a business that aligns with your deepest values, this conversation is your blueprint. Get ready to move beyond the grind and start leading with legacy.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[01:01] A short introduction about our guests Lisa Roads, and shares her journey from long-term investor to industry leader while explaining her mission to elevate and support women in the short-term rental space[05:31] Lisa Rhodes and I reflect on the power of women-centered communities to build confidence, visibility, and leadership in short-term rental businesses [11:38] Lisa shares the realities of scaling a property management business to 175 high-performing properties by prioritizing alignment, systems, and long-term profitability [14:22] Lisa emphasizes the importance of intentional, systems-driven growth over chasing door count and scaling chaos in large property management portfolios[16:29] How intentionally defining the ideal guest, designing for that audience, and building strategic partnerships allowed Lisa to create demand in an undeveloped short-term rental market [18:11] Lisa on creating high-trust travel agent partnerships and the operational systems that made them scalable [20:51] Lisa explains how she built custom systems to manage bookings, property operations, and service delivery in a market without established short-term rental technology[22:31] How building a support network was essential to managing the invisible mental load of running a business and caring for family[25:50] Lisa emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries, protecting mental and physical health, and intentionally scheduling downtime to prevent burnout as an entrepreneur[29:19] Lisa reflects on growing up in an entrepreneurial, nomadic family, and emphasizes the importance of self-belief and having a solid...

Quite a bit, actually.In this episode of Chasing the Rabbit, the pastors of First Baptist Church of the Islands reflect on an unexpected snowy weekend in Savannah and let the conversation drift (as it always does) into something deeper: the urgent need for rest, rhythms, and refueling—especially for those in ministry.As the team looks ahead to a local ministry conference, they talk candidly about burnout, busyness, Sabbath principles, and the difference between physical rest and soul rest. Along the way, they wrestle with questions many leaders feel but don't always voice:How do you know when your tank is running empty?Why does busyness feel like success in our culture?What does biblical rest actually look like under the New Covenant?And how do we create healthy rhythms that sustain us for the long haul?The conversation is grounded in Scripture and shaped by insights from several influential books, including:Leading On Empty by Wayne CordeiroThe Wisdom Pyramid by Brett McCrackenThe Common Rule by Justin Whitmel EarleyWhether you're a pastor, ministry leader, volunteer, or just someone feeling stretched thin, this episode is an encouraging reminder that rest is not weakness—it's wisdom. God doesn't just command rest; He invites us into it.So slow down, take a breath, and chase this rabbit with us.

Länge har rymdforskare och astronauter åkt till Island, men först nu har landet sitt eget rymdforskningsinstitut. Förhoppningen är ökat internationellt samarbete kring rymden - och Arktis. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Islands kombination av kargt klimat och vulkanism har länge gjort landet till en värdefull plats för rymdforskning och träning av astronauter. Daniel Leeb, som leder Islands nyetablerade rymdforskningsinstitut, ser ön som platsen för rymdfarande nationer som vill mer än till månen eller till Mars. Både rymdforskning och forskning om Arktis handlar om miljöer som hela mänskligheten måste ta ansvar för, och om att tillsammans lösa problem med hur man överlever i de mest extrema miljöer.Medverkande: Daniel Leeb/chef för Islands rymdforskningsinstitut, Johan Köhler/avdelningschef forskning och utveckling RymdstyrelsenReporter: Ylva Carlqvist Warnborgvet@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

Top Stories for January 31st Publish Date: January 31st PRE-ROLL: KIA Mall Of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 31st and Happy Birthday to Jackie Robinson I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Lanier Islands Resort offering Valentine's Day romantic getaway package Amid walkouts, GCPS affirms students’ right to expression, reminds them to follow rules Scott McCray’s lasting impact on downtown Lawrenceville All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: Lanier Islands Resort offering Valentine's Day romantic getaway package Lanier Islands Resort—where love stories seem to write themselves. With over a dozen dreamy indoor and outdoor wedding venues, it’s no wonder this lakeside gem has been the backdrop for countless “I do’s.” And this year? Valentine’s Day lands on a Saturday, making it the perfect excuse for a romantic escape. For couples looking to make a weekend of it, the resort’s Valentine’s Romantic Getaway has all the swoon-worthy details: champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, cozy accommodations, a multi-course dinner at Sidney’s overlooking the lake, and breakfast the next morning. Want more? There’s spa treatments, snow fun at Margaritaville, or even a game day at Game Changer. Planning to pop the question? The resort’s wedding consultants can help you nail the moment, from finding the perfect spot to booking a photographer. Love is definitely in the air at Lanier Islands. STORY 2: Amid walkouts, GCPS affirms students’ right to expression, reminds them to follow rules Students across Gwinnett County are walking out of class, protesting immigration enforcement and the fear it’s brought into their schools. The district is trying to balance it all—supporting students’ voices while keeping things safe and orderly. The protests come as frustration grows nationwide over ICE’s actions, including the deaths of two U.S. citizens. Some students say they’re scared to even show up to school. The district reiterated its policy: ICE can’t enter non-public areas of schools without a judge-signed warrant. But fear lingers. Enrollment has dropped by thousands since ICE activity ramped up in 2025, according to the Gwinnett County Association of Educators. For now, GCPS is working with students to keep protests peaceful and on-campus. STORY 3: Scott McCray’s lasting impact on downtown Lawrenceville When Scott McCray first set his sights on expanding his restaurant footprint, downtown Lawrenceville wasn’t exactly buzzing. “It was quiet—really quiet,” he said. “Not much going on, but I saw potential.” That was back in the early 2000s, when the corner spot he wanted—a beat-up old drugstore—wasn’t even available. So, he waited. By 2006, McCray’s Tavern opened on Perry Street, and two decades later, it’s a cornerstone of Lawrenceville’s now-vibrant Square. Today, McCray owns nine restaurants, including Perry Street Chophouse and several McCray’s Taverns across metro Atlanta. But he’s not done yet. “We’ve got another building on the Square,” he teased. “Still figuring out what to do with it, but we’re working on something.” And then there’s St. Patrick’s Day—his annual “Perry Street festival” that shuts down the street, packs the rooftop deck, and unofficially kicks off spring. Reflecting on 20 years in the business, McCray still seems a little surprised. “I didn’t grow up dreaming about restaurants,” he said. “But once I opened my first place, I knew. It’s hard work, but I still love it. Every day.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - GCPS STORY 4: GIVE East's Candice Richardson named GCPS Teacher of the Year Dr. Candice Richardson didn’t take the usual path to teaching. In fact, her journey started far from a classroom—in a doctor’s office in Nassau, Bahamas, where she worked as a physician. But life has a funny way of rerouting us. Fifteen years ago, she moved to the U.S. with her husband and began the long, grueling process of earning her medical license here. To make ends meet, she started substitute teaching. “I thought it’d just be temporary,” she said. “But when I walked into GIVE Center East, something clicked. I knew—this is where I’m supposed to be.” Fast forward to now: Richardson, who’s been teaching biology at GIVE for four years, was just named Gwinnett County Public Schools’ 2027 Teacher of the Year. It’s a rare honor for a teacher at an alternative school, and Richardson doesn’t take it lightly. At GIVE, Richardson works with students who’ve been written off by others. “These kids have been told they’re failures, that one mistake defines them,” she said. “But I believe in second chances. I want them to see they’re worth more than their worst moment.” Richardson’s passion for her students shines through in everything she does, from creating hands-on biology lessons to building relationships that show her students they’re valued. STORY 5: Republican state House leaders unveil plan to abolish homeowner property taxes Georgia Republicans are making a bold promise: no more property taxes for homeowners by 2032. Sounds great, right? But the details? Well, they’re complicated. House Speaker Jon Burns unveiled the plan Wednesday, calling it “historic tax relief” aimed at easing the financial strain on homeowners. Rising home values, he said, have made the current system “unsustainable.” The idea is to gradually phase out property taxes on primary residences, but here’s the catch—local governments rely on that money. A lot of it. Property taxes fund schools, police, fire departments—you name it. So, what happens when that revenue disappears? Burns’ plan would let cities and counties make up the difference by raising sales taxes or adding fees for specific services. But sales taxes are unpredictable, especially during economic downturns, and some areas might struggle to generate enough revenue. And then there’s the political hurdle. To make this happen, lawmakers need a constitutional amendment, which requires two-thirds approval in both chambers and a public vote. Oh, and the Senate? They’re focused on slashing income taxes instead. For now, the House hasn’t released all the details, but one thing’s clear: this proposal is ambitious—and it’s going to spark a lot of debate. We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: TenMed Wound Care opening Lawrenceville office TenMed Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine is bringing its expertise to Lawrenceville, opening a new clinic at 696 Grayson Highway. For patients in Gwinnett County dealing with stubborn wounds—diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, or other complex injuries—this is big news. The Lawrenceville location joins TenMed’s existing offices in Atlanta and Johns Creek, expanding access to advanced treatments like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Dr. Joshua Behlmann, the clinic’s medical director, said he’s excited to serve the community. “Our goal is simple: to provide life-changing care for those who need it most.” From personalized wound care plans to cutting-edge therapies, the clinic is ready to help.

STORY 7: Test-run of outdoor classrooms in Georgia schools clears General Assembly Georgia students might soon trade desks for fresh air, thanks to a new outdoor learning pilot program. On Wednesday, the state Senate gave unanimous approval to a bill that would create outdoor classrooms at select K-8 schools. Next stop? Governor Kemp’s desk. State Sen. Bo Hatchett shared his own experience: “I had an outdoor classroom at North Habersham Middle, and it made a huge difference. Every kid should have that chance.” Sen. Sheikh Rahman added, “Kids are glued to screens. Getting them outside? It’s good for their bodies, their minds—everything.” The program will run for three years before lawmakers decide what’s next.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-twenty-seventh episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ Marc Howle, the Brigade Senior Engineer / Protection Observer-Coach-Trainer, and MAJ David Pfaltzgraff, BDE XO OCT (formerly the BDE S-3 Operations OCT), from Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are subject experts from the Brigade Command & Control Task Force (BDE HQ) at JRTC: MAJ Steven Yates is the BDE S-6 Signal OCT, MAJ Michael Stewart is the incoming BDE S-3 Operations Officer OCT, MAJ Edward Pecoraro is the Senior Brigade S-2 Intel OCT, MAJ Adeniran Dairo is the Brigade S-4 Logistics OCT, CW3 Michael Horrace is the Senior Targeting OCT, and SFC Benjamin Pealer is the Brigade CEMA NCOIC OCT.   **There was a technical issue during transcoding and a group image had to be utilized inside of “live” video due to a file corruption. Thanks for your understanding in advance.**   The Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center (JPMRC) is the Army's premier combat training center for preparing joint and multinational forces to fight and win in the Indo-Pacific region. Designed to replicate the complexity of LSCO in an archipelago environment, JPMRC challenges units across dense jungle, mountainous terrain, and dispersed islands while integrating land, sea, air, space, cyber, and the electromagnetic spectrum. To execute these demanding training rotations, JPMRC relies on the expertise of the Joint Readiness Training Center, drawing on JRTC Observer-Coach-Trainers and OPFOR subject-matter experts through borrowed manpower to provide realistic opposition and doctrinally grounded feedback to rotational units.     This episode examines the unique challenges of conducting large-scale combat operations in an archipelago environment, highlighting how terrain, distance, weather, and dispersion fundamentally reshape operations across all warfighting functions. A recurring theme is that island and jungle terrain compresses the fight vertically and horizontally, limiting mobility corridors, restricting observation, and degrading traditional ISR advantages. Dense vegetation and complex terrain reduce the effectiveness of aerial and space-based sensors, forcing units to rely more heavily on dismounted reconnaissance, local security, and detailed terrain analysis. Communications planning emerges as a critical friction point, as triple-canopy jungle and mountainous terrain degrade line-of-sight and satellite-dependent systems, requiring deliberate EMS analysis, redundant pathways, and adaptive low-signature solutions. Across the board, the panel reinforces that archipelago operations demand more time, more reconnaissance, and more deliberate planning than continental fights.    The discussion also underscores how LSCO in an island chain is inherently joint, non-contiguous, and resource-constrained, placing a premium on integration and disciplined execution. Sustainment challenges dominate the problem set: moving personnel, equipment, fires, and supplies across multiple islands requires improvisation, redundancy, and acceptance that weather and the enemy will disrupt even the best plans. Fires and maneuver are constrained by limited positioning options, making predictability a vulnerability and forcing commanders to think in terms of infiltration, distributed operations, and attacking systems and nodes rather than massed formations. Mission command and detailed graphics become essential, as junior leaders may operate semi-independently with limited communications for extended periods. The episode reinforces a clear takeaway: archipelago LSCO magnifies friction across every domain, rewarding formations that plan in detail, rehearse relentlessly, empower subordinate leaders, and integrate effects across land, sea, air, space, and the electromagnetic spectrum.     Part of S13 “Hip Pocket Training” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

When Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro was a kid growing up in Guadalajara, Mexico, he would draw monsters all day. His deeply Catholic grandmother even had him exorcised because of it. But when del Toro saw the 1931 film ‘Frankenstein,' his life changed. "I realized I understood my faith or my dogmas better through Frankenstein than through Sunday mass." His adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic book is nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Del Toro spoke with Terry Gross about getting over his fear of death, the design of Frankenstein's creature, and his opinion on generative AI.Also, John Powers reviews the noirish drama ‘Islands.' Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

ISLANDS MOVIE REVIEW Sometimes people take a vacation and they never go home. Then vacation then becomes a routine, and that routine becomes a whole lot of work. Islands follows a Tennis coach named Tom (Sam Riley) who at one time went by the pro nickname of Aces. His kindness, charisma, and all around chill […]

It's Megan's final episode on Spoilerpiece, and we're very happy to send her off with lively conversations. First up is ISLANDS (5:41), a slow burn thriller about a tennis instructor (Sam Riley) at an island resort who falls in with an unhappy English couple (Stacy Martin and Jack Farthing) and their young son. We all really dug this picture, and think Riley is great in the lead role. Then it's on to A PRIVATE LIFE (30:11), a sort-of comedy, sort-of thriller set in Paris, with Jodie Foster as a psychotherapist who's convinced that one of her patients was murdered. But how is she going to prove it? By making lots and lots of bad (but comic) decisions, including dragging her ex-husband into the adventure. The movie is tonally all over the place, but we all found things to like in it (particularly Megan, who is a bona fide Jodie Foster fan). Over on Patreon, we talk about the 1995 movie TANK GIRL.
