Episode Description For years, you were told to pick a lane. Specialize. Get good at one thing and ride it for the rest of your career. That advice shaped many lives. It might also be quietly expiring. The tools have changed. The expert in a single subject is everywhere now, and basically free. Today, I'll make the case that the future belongs to a different kind of person, the one who goes broad and deep at the same time. I'll show you what that looks like, why it should feel freeing, and how to start becoming it. Come find out. Featured Story I was on a coaching call when somebody told me her biggest headache was her website. Every little change took two weeks and somebody else's hands. She just wished AI could do it for her. So I pulled up my own site, typed a few plain sentences asking it to build a brand new page for my friend Kroy, and we watched it happen in real time. A few tweaks and it was done. Jaws on the floor. Then I opened Claude, typed maybe fifty words, and five minutes later, we were all using a working app I'd just dreamed up. Live, right there on the call. That's the world we're walking into. Important Points The age of the lone specialist is fading fast. Every answer you used to pay an expert for already sits inside AI. Broad on its own won't save you, and neither will deep. The people who win are wide across and deep at the same time. Your real job now is to orchestrate, not to do. Take the whole view, decide how it fits, let the tools do the rest. Memorable Quotes The age of the expert and the specialist is really going away. The age of the person who is broad and deep is here. I'm 66 years old, and I will run circles around most people in AI. This is not supposed to be possible, but it is. Most of my life is no longer doing the task at all. I just orchestrate everything around me and put the pieces together. Scott's Three-Step Approach First, stop trying to be the best at one narrow thing. Go wide and build a real worldview across everything you touch. Next, pick the areas that matter most and go deep, deep enough to know why the answer the machine hands you works. Finally, stop doing every task yourself. Step back, orchestrate the tools, and pull the pieces into one clear decision. Chapters 0:03 - Settling in with coffee and a big question 2:24 - Why the honest truth is the best motivation 2:55 - The other side of money clients I work with 3:42 - Building a website and an app live on a call 5:54 - The real human superpower in an AI world 6:36 - Why the age of the specialist is fading away 8:04 - Broad and deep, becoming the orchestrator Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify If you enjoy the Daily Boost, you might like Notes From Scott.

The Bloody Good Horror crew reviews “Leviticus”, one of the year's most talked-about indie horror films—sparking one of our deepest (and most divided) discussions in recent memory. While the panel agrees that “Leviticus” has powerful things to say about identity, faith, and the queer experience, opinions split on a key question: "Does the horror itself work as well as the metaphor?" We also discuss how horror can build empathy, why ”Leviticus” stands out as a powerful allegory for conversion therapy, and whether emotional resonance can outweigh traditional scares. Rachel shares her perspective on why stories like this matter, while the panel explores where the film succeeds, where it falls short, and why it has become such a significant entry in modern queer horror. We also recommend other standout queer horror films, catch up on the week's horror news, and wrap things up with a round of Jaws trivia in celebration of one of the genre's all-time 4th of July horror classics. Leviticus is a 2026 Australian supernatural horror film written and directed by Adrian Chiarella and starring Joe Bird, Stacy Clausen, Mia Wasikowska, Nicholas Hope, and Ewen Leslie. The film follows two gay teenagers whose relationship is haunted by a supernatural force born from their religious community's intolerance. Learn more about your ad choices.

Directed by Lewis Teague, and starring Robert Forster, Robin Riker, and a mutated alligator, the movie focuses on what happens when likable people hunt a genetically modified monster.

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! — the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: is it a bomb?This week, the guys march into the chaos of Steven Spielberg's 1979 war comedy 1941. Fresh off the unprecedented successes of Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Spielberg was handed the ultimate Hollywood blank check to make whatever he wanted. The result was an enormous, effects-driven comedy about panic erupting across Southern California in the days following Pearl Harbor. While 1941 wasn't a full-blown box office bomb, it fell well short of the massive expectations surrounding Spielberg's first comedy, becoming one of the earliest examples of how even Hollywood's hottest director wasn't immune to a stumble.But was the film unfairly judged, or is 1941 simply too loud, too chaotic, and too overstuffed for its own good? Troy and Brad break down the film's incredible cast, jaw-dropping practical effects, and the fascinating production that saw Spielberg pushing his filmmaking ambitions to new heights. The hosts also discuss how the film's reputation has evolved over the decades, why it has developed a passionate cult following, and how its perceived failure may have helped shape Spielberg's remarkable run of classics that followed.Sound the air raid sirens, keep an eye on the Ferris wheel, and join Not A Bomb as they revisit one of Hollywood's most fascinating near-misses, proving that sometimes even a box office disappointment can become an unforgettable piece of blockbuster history.Want to help support the show?

As we head out for our summer vacations, some of us are lucky enough to be headed to the ocean. Blue skies, sunshine, blue water to the horizon. But there's always that nagging fear, as Jaws taught us, that underneath those frothing white waves, sharks may be lurking. This is the story of the deadliest shark attack in history. Feel free to DM me if you have a story you'd like me to cover . . On Facebook it's Patty Steele and on Instagram Real Patty Steele.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fifty years after the summer that made it infamous, Amity Island has turned its tragedy into a tourist brand — until a baited great white comes home to the same waters. Police chief Nora Brody and charter captain Sam Quint, grandchildren of the men who hunted the first shark, discover the town hasn't learned a thing, and that the ocean never forgets. An original present-day continuation exploring greed, inherited fear, courage, and the cold indifference of the deep.   https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror   #Jaws #AmityIsland #GreatWhiteShark #SharkWeek #PeterBenchley #StevenSpielberg #LegacySequel #HorrorFiction #CreatureFeature #SharkAttack #ManVsNature #SmallTownHorror   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror ________________________________________ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion ________________________________________ CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ ________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales. ________________________________________ DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/ ________________________________________ MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: Epidemic Sound Learn more about your ad choices.

Paige Alms was born in British Columbia, moved to Maui when she was nine, found surfing, found surf contests, and, around the age of 15, found big waves. They would become her forte, specifically Jaws, located not far from her home in Haiku. She spent a lot of time out there, riding waves of course, but also learning the lineup. It paid off. In 2015, she knifed her way into a bomb, angled high, and got terrifically barreled. That year she won the Women's Best Overall Performance at the WSL Big Wave Awards. In 2016 and 2017 she was named big-wave world champion. Alms is a three-time winner of the Peahi Challenge—in 2016, 2017, and 2019. She's the subject of The Wave I Ride, a feature-length documentary about her surfing life. In 2023, she became one of the first women to compete in The Eddie.  Alms lives in Maui with her longtime partner/shaper, Sean Ordonez. She continues to push the boundaries of the riding giant surf while also helping to teach ocean safety through Big Wave Risk Assessment Group courses.  In this episode of Soundings, Alms sits down with host Jamie Brisick to talk about paddling out to Jaws for the first time, training, the evolution of big-wave surfing, ocean safety, and competing in The Eddie. Presented by Rainbow® Sandals Produced by Jonathan Shifflett. Music by PazKa (Aska Matsumiya & Paz Lenchantin). Become a TSJ member at surfersjournal.com

In the summer of 1975 one cinematic masterpiece took a giant bite at the box office. The classic tale that drove people screaming from the water, Jaws became the first summer blockbuster and lives on in the minds of movie goers today.  As the film celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2025, a wave of movie treasures hit the auction block, including a rare, shark-toothed clapperboard discovered on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW in 2021 and at the time appraised for a whopping $25,000 to $35,000. Join host Adam Monahan as he dips his toes back into the auction pool to find out if the clapperboard would have financial teeth at auction, or if the imagined “ROADSHOW jinx” would claim another victim!

Roy Neary (Oscar-winner Richard Dreyfuss) was just a mild-mannered Indiana family man working for the power company.  Until one evening while out on the job.....he had an encounter with an unfamiliar being blasting brilliant light into the night sky.  What results for Roy is an increasingly bizarre descent into madness as he not only feels drawn towards seking out these otherworldy beings but also begins to alienate his wife (Teri Garr) and family in the process.  And he's not the only one: there's also Jillian Guiler (Oscar nominee Melinda Dillon) who is also drawn towards seeking out these strange, new visitors.  Both of their journeys eventually lead them Devil's Tower in Wyoming where these "visitors" might be headed.  Also eventually heading this way are two curious scientists (Francois Truffaut, Bob Balaban) who have been trying to figure out the best way to communicate with these extra terrestrials.  It all adds up to a transcendant experience and one of THE greatest films from one of our greatest living directors, Two-time Oscar-winner Steven Spielberg (Schindler's List, Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET) as his direct follow-up to the singular phenomenon which was Jaws. See below for a link to an extended sequence added to the 1980 "Special Edition" of this film, referred to within this review:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqiSIaia-k4&t=197sHost & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/ 

Rachel and Liz demonstrate how built-in AI features in JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion, including Picture Smart AI, Vispero Companion, Page Explorer, and AI Labeler, can help users better understand, navigate, and interact with inaccessible or complex digital content. Through real-world examples such as online calendars, Google Docs, email images, and grocery shopping websites, they show how these tools can simplify everyday tasks and improve productivity.

Paul and Amy look to the skies with Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Steven Spielberg's awe-inspiring follow-up to Jaws and one of cinema's most influential visions of alien contact. They unpack the film's ambitious production, from Spielberg's growing creative confidence, Douglas Trumbull's groundbreaking effects work and the casting. Along the way, they explore the movie's themes of obsession, faith, communication, and government secrecy, and why its sense of wonder still feels so powerful nearly fifty years later.

Our guest today is a professional surfer and all-around waterman from the island of Maui. He is widely considered one of the greatest watermen of all time. This athletic freak has spent his life pushing the limits of what humans can do in the ocean. From charging giant waves at Jaws and Nazaré, to helping pioneer modern hydrofoiling, to competing at the highest levels of stand-up paddling, kitesurfing, windsurfing, tow surfing, and big-wave surfing…there may not be another athlete on Earth as versatile in the water as this man.He is an 8-time SUP World Champion, winner of the Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge, former WSL Big Wave Performer of the Year, and the youngest person ever inducted into the Surfer's Hall of Fame. He's surfed some of the biggest waves ever ridden, inspired an entire generation of ocean athletes, and helped redefine what's possible across multiple water sports. He is also the star and producer of the upcoming feature film Kai. In this episode we talk story about growing up on Maui, being in the water at an early age, trying many different water-sports, riding big waves, his new film “Kai” coming out this summer, his mindset, lifestyle, family, and so much more.

When “Jaws” hit theatres in 1975, no one—neither the studio executives involved nor the film's twenty-six-year-old director, Steven Spielberg—was betting on its success. But it dominated at the box office and promptly revolutionized the way movies were promoted, distributed, and merchandised. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz trace how Spielberg inaugurated a new phenomenon in Hollywood: the blockbuster. He would tap his own playbook again and again with such hits as “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “E.T.,” and “Jurassic Park,” all of which drew impressive audiences and profits. The hosts talk through his filmography, culminating in his new release, “Disclosure Day,” which both replicates and iterates on themes and techniques found in his earlier work. Though other directors may share his capacity for spectacle and action-packed set pieces, much of his appeal lies in his profound earnestness. “What Spielberg is so good at is bringing the human to the fore in these extreme, sci-fi circumstances,” Schwartz says. “And that's what makes a great blockbuster.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Jaws” (1975)“Disclosure Day” (2026)“Minority Report” (2002)“Oscar Wars,” by Michael Schulman“What Went Wrong” 's episode about “Jaws”“Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977)“Jurassic Park” (1993)“E.T.” (1982)“Alf” (1986-90)“Schindler's List” (1993)“One Battle After Another” (2025)“American Journal,” by Robert Hayden“Heart of the Beast” (2026)“Sinners” (2025)“Nope” (2022)“Barbie” (2023)“Obsession” (2026)“Backrooms” (2026)New episodes drop every Thursday.

SHOW NOTES: Steven Spielberg created Jaws and Close Encounters. He used technology for the shark and the spaceship. But he used talent for the creation. Pablo Picasso famously relied on Ripolin, a quick-drying, glossy commercial house paint, instead of traditional artist oils. For tools, he used oversized, long-handled bristle brushes, and stiff palette knives for impasto textures. But the painting Guernica was the result of his talent. Bach created the Brandenburg concertos and the musical advancements that most helped him were the rise of flexible "well-temperament" tuning and the rapid development of the Italian concerto style. Together, these innovations allowed him to achieve his legendary harmonic complexity and contrapuntal mastery. But the talent was already there. Houdini created incredible illusions and escapes using hidden keys, sleight of hand, mirrors, and secret hatched. But the design and the implementation were due to his talent. Focus on your talent, not technology. A microphone can enhance volume but won't help you to naturally sing on key. Superb skis and advance waxes can help your skiing speed and control, but are no replacement for quick reflexes and physical stamina. Technology, whether AI or a remote control, can enhance your abilities and success, but they can't replace your judgment and native talent, unless you try to allow them to, which will only atrophy your unique abilities.

In 2020, Adam and Josh used the 45th anniversary of Jaws to Power Rank the Spielberg Decades — from the Close Encounters ’70s to the Lincoln 2010s. With the release of Disclosure Day, the question now is whether it’s already time to do it again and include the 2020s.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a joy to bring on a fellow Arizona critic & film scholar, the brilliant & funny Barbara VanDenburgh, to discuss the masterful Arizona-raised filmmaker Steven Spielberg. Barbara's favorite director and her greatest area of film knowledge; it's wild to realize that we haven't done an official Spielberg episode of the pod before this one. I know you'll love it! Covering the filmmaker's life, career, major themes, techniques, collaborators, and more, we touch on most of his pictures in this fast-paced conversation, and pay special attention to three of his summer releases, JAWS, JURASSIC PARK, and A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.Guest Bio: Barbara VanDenburgh is a longtime arts and entertainment journalist, a film critic, and a member of the Phoenix Critics Circle. She is also the founder and host of the First Draft Book Club, a popular, long-running book club that discusses recently published works of literary fiction at Changing Hands Bookstore in Phoenix.

Horror history gets iconic, aquatic, gothic, apocalyptic, and completely unhinged this week as This Week in Horror History travels through June 15–21 with motel terror, shark sequels, dark superhero nightmares, zombie blockbuster chaos, and one wild space-vampire cult classic that brings cosmic horror crashing down on Earth.This episode digs into a packed week of classic horror movies, cult horror, summer blockbusters, gothic comic-book horror, zombie disaster cinema, and 1980s Cannon Films madness, including the New York premiere of Psycho, the U.S. release of Jaws 2, the theatrical arrival of Batman Returns, the blockbuster zombie outbreak of World War Z, and the Deep-Cut Spotlight on Tobe Hooper's bizarre 1985 space vampire epic Lifeforce.Inside this episode:• Psycho rewrites the rules of horror moviegoing, turns the Bates Motel into a nightmare landmark, and makes one ordinary shower one of the most famous crime scenes in cinema.• Jaws 2 drags audiences back to Amity Island for more shark terror, seaside panic, and one of horror's most frustrating “nobody believes the guy who is right” sequel setups.• Batman Returns transforms Gotham into a twisted Christmas horror fairy tale full of sewer lairs, circus gangs, stitched leather, abandoned children, corporate monsters, Catwoman, and the Penguin.• World War Z reimagines the zombie apocalypse as global disaster cinema, with the undead moving less like slow corpses and more like a rushing human flood.• The Deep-Cut Spotlight goes to Lifeforce, Tobe Hooper's strange, ambitious, and deeply excessive Cannon Films cult classic about Halley's Comet, alien vampires, life-draining seduction, plague victims, and London falling apart under cosmic horror.Plus: a horror birthday roll featuring Courteney Cox, Laurie Metcalf, John Carl Buechler, and Nicole Kidman, a creepy look at how horror became a massive summer marketing event, and a weekly recommendation for Hammer's Dracula, also known as Horror of Dracula, starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.From Norman Bates and shark-infested beaches to Gotham monsters, zombie swarms, Halley's Comet, space vampires, Hammer horror, and Cannon Films insanity, this week proves horror history can be classic, blockbuster-sized, cult, strange, seductive, and absolutely impossible to ignore.

Stephen Spielberg brings aliens back to the big screen in Disclosure Day. But how does his new blockbuster compare to his alien classics like E.T. and Close Encounters of The Third Kind?
