Success in business isn't just about better systems, stronger marketing, or hiring the right people. More often than not, the biggest barriers to growth are the beliefs, fears, and emotional patterns we carry with us every day. In this powerful episode of The Elevate Podcast, I sit down with my personal coach, Jeffrey Combs, owner of Mastermind Seminars, to explore the inner work that every salon owner needs to do if they truly want to build a thriving business and a fulfilling life. Jeffrey has spent decades helping entrepreneurs identify the unconscious patterns that keep them stuck. Together, we discuss how anxiety, self esteem, fear of rejection, codependency, people pleasing, and limiting beliefs influence leadership, pricing, hiring, team culture, sales, and decision making. Whether you're struggling to grow your salon, constantly feeling overwhelmed, or simply know you're capable of more, this conversation will challenge you to look beyond the surface and begin transforming from the inside out. If you're ready to stop repeating the same cycles and start leading with confidence and clarity, this is an episode you won't want to miss. https://goldenmastermind.com/

Nuevo programa de Par-Impar sobre dos serie B de terror directo a vídeo de los noventa: Castle Freak y El Pozo y el Péndulo, de Stuart Gordon. En esta nueva entrega del podcast de cine Par-Impar en esRadio, Juanma González y Dani Palacios nos sumergen en una sesión doble de auténtico cine de culto y serie B de los años noventa. El programa rinde homenaje al talento del director de culto Stuart Gordon y a la mítica productora Full Moon, capitaneada por Charles Band. A través de un análisis desenfado pero riguroso, los presentadores desmenuzan dos de las obras más singulares y físicas del realizador: El Foso y el Péndulo (1991) y Castle Freak (1995). Ambas películas personifican una época dorada del cine de terror directo a videoclub, donde las limitaciones presupuestarias se suplían con un desbordante ingenio visual y una entrega absoluta por parte de sus actores fetiche. La andadura comienza con El Foso y el Péndulo, una libre adaptación del célebre relato de Edgar Allan Poe que Gordon reformula para adaptarla a su estilo visceral y de terror físico. Ambientada convenientemente en el año 1492, la cinta retrata una visión delirante y lúbrica de la Inquisición española. El gran aliciente de la función es la asombrosa interpretación de Lance Henriksen en el papel de Torquemada, encarnado aquí como un fanático atormentado por sus propias represiones sexuales y delirios de poder. La película baila constantemente entre el terror gótico y un humor negro muy cercano a la parodia, ejemplificado en la hilarante escena del juicio a un esqueleto al que azotan hasta deshacerlo, un momento que los locutores comparan con un sketch de los Monty Python. La producción de este filme cuenta además con curiosidades memorables que enriquecen el anecdotario del programa de esRadio, como el brevísimo pero impagable cameo del legendario actor Oliver Reed interpretando a un enviado del Papa. Según relatan González y Palacios, Gordon le permitió que en sus dos minutos en pantalla se limitara a beber vino real, lo que facilitó enormemente el rodaje. El desenlace de la película, con una bruja que explota tras ingerir pólvora de forma literal, rubrica el tono desenfadado y macabro de una propuesta que, pese a sus costuras de bajo presupuesto, ofrece momentos visualmente potentísimos gracias a la notable dirección artística de la factoría de Charles Band. La segunda parte de este programa doble se traslada a la truculenta atmósfera de Castle Freak (1995), una de las cintas más oscuras y escabrosas de la filmografía de Stuart Gordon. Rodada en el propio castillo medieval que Charles Band poseía en la Umbría italiana, la película está protagonizada por la emblemática pareja del cine fantástico formada por Jeffrey Combs y Barbara Crampton. Aquí encarnan a un matrimonio sumido en una profunda crisis tras una tragedia familiar que hereda la fortaleza, sin sospechar que en sus mazmorras habita un ser deforme y martirizado llamado Giorgio. La crudeza de la propuesta, su sordidez sexual y el dramatismo gótico la convierten en una pieza de culto muy superior a la media de las producciones destinadas al mercado doméstico. Los conductores de Par-Impar analizan pormenorizadamente los elementos de terror físico y psicológico de la película, destacando el trágico trasfondo del monstruo y su perturbadora mutilación genital a manos de su propia madre. Asimismo, especulan con la posibilidad de que directores españoles de renombre dentro del género, como Paco Plaza y Jaume Balagueró, se inspiraran directamente en el aspecto visual de Giorgio para dar forma a la icónica niña Medeiros de la saga cinematográfica Rec. La música del programa concluye con una curiosidad familiar sobre la dinastía Band: la sintonía final corre a cargo de la banda The Calling, cuyo vocalista, Alex Band, es hijo del compositor Richard Band y sobrino del célebre productor de Full Moon.

In a special double-length episode, SilverVox Film + Music Festival Music Programming Director Dan Silver - a record producer with 25+ years' experience in the entertainment industry – talks to host Jordan Miller about the festival's music lineup: Cults, DIIV and Kishi Bashi on Saturday, June 20th, Frederick's own Rae Boyd on Friday, June 19th, and a diverse selection of local performers appearing at venues all-across town. Then, writer and director Danielle Weinberg joins Jordan to talk about her short film Invasion '53 - starring horror legend Jeffrey Combs – which screens Friday afternoon, followed by a special midnight showing Saturday night.
In a plot-packed thrill ride, the crew team up with the Gom Jabbars (or so Jay Leno thinks), Jeffrey Combs continues his unbroken Trek character home run streak, and Matt and Andy pause from asking, "Why isn't Odo using his T-1000 hands?" to ask, "Why did they wait so long to bring Odo in to use his T-1000 hands?"[Episode discussion begins around 1:25]

From the icy diplomacy of Weyoun, to the scheming ferocity of Brunt, to the honorable fire of Shran, Combs has shaped some of the most iconic alien characters in modern Trek. This conversation dives into the craft behind those transformations — the makeup, the mindset, the physicality — and the delightful chaos of imagining what would happen if two of his characters ever had to share the same scene.

May's phobia is decidophobia and the fear of making decisions. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are digging into David Guy Levy's Would You Rather, a film that takes one of childhood's most innocent games and transforms it into one of a pointed exploration of class, desperation, and moral compromise. We talk about why the real horror begins long before anyone sits down at Lambrick's dinner table, what Jeffrey Combs' aristocratic sadist reveals about the aestheticization of wealth and power, and why the film's ending is one of the most genuinely devastating conclusions in recent horror memory.

Klemt mellom splatterkaoset i Braindead og Bad Taste og den kommende Ringenes Herre-suksessen finner vi Peter Jacksons herlige 90-tallsmareritt The Frighteners – filmen hvor Michael J. Fox svindler folk med spøkelser mens Jeffrey Combs går fullstendig av hengslene i bakgrunnen. Fox spiller Frank Bannister – en småsvindler som bruker spøkelser til å tjene penger, helt til en mystisk og dødelig skikkelse begynner å herje i byen. Resultatet er en herlig miks av horror, komedie, serial killer-thriller og ren tegnefilmenergi. I denne episoden tar Attack of the Killer Kast turen tilbake til 1996 for å snakke om spøkelser, seriemordere, tidlig CGI-kaos og hvorfor The Frighteners gikk fra kinoflopp til kultklassiker. Vi er også innom Jake Busey, R. Lee Ermey, videobutikk-nostalgi og hvorfor dette føles som en film ingen egentlig hadde fått lov til å lage i dag.

Why are Andrew Divoff's shotgun blasting and Jeffrey Combs's dramatic turn (both reuniting from 2000's FAUST) the only ones working overtime here?

In this episode of TreknoPod, we review Star Trek: Enterprise Season 1, Episode 19 – “Acquisition”, the controversial Ferengi episode that bends canon, delivers classic Rules of Acquisition, and sparks big fandom debates.But before we even reach the Ferengi hijinks, we address a growing problem in the Star Trek community: AI impersonation, harassment, and fetish content targeting real creators — and why it runs directly against Star Trek's core philosophy of IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations).From Ferengi first contact loopholes, Jeffrey Combs & Ethan Phillips returning in heavy makeup, and Trip Tucker spending half the episode in his underwear, to Rules of Acquisition favorites, Enterprise canon headaches, and why “Acquisition” is secretly a lot of fun, this episode covers it all.We also preview our upcoming coverage of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, discuss fandom gatekeeping, and remind everyone why Star Trek should always be a space for curiosity, creativity, and respect.
The Good Brothers are joined this week by returning guest and Batman The Adventures Continue artist Jordan Gibson to look at The New Batman Adventures episode "Never Fear." The hosts discuss the ins and outs of the episode including Tim Drake's reaction being a direct result of his upbringing, Batman being sloppy when he's robbed of fear and why the inversion of the Scarecrow character from writer Stan Berkowitz stands out as a hallmark of an underrated DCAU contributor. Jordan also talks about recently coming into possession of the original "Never Fear" storyboards, TMS's work on the episode being the most anime style Batman that there will ever be, theories on the new Scarecrow look and overall design and why this episode was a big influence on Jordan when doing the art for BTAC. Of course the hosts leave time to talk Shirley Walker's soundtrack which heavily features the new Tim Drake theme and a discussion on Jeffrey Combs take on the Scarecrow in light of his memorable role later on in the DCAU.

Popcorn buckets, cursed CGI targs, and the most awkward Decon Chamber scene in Star Trek history.
Rewatching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 1, Episode 7 — “The Andorian Incident.” Directed by Roxann Dawson, this tense bottle episode introduces Shran (the great Jeffrey Combs) and repositions the Andorians as more than blue-skinned bruisers. We dig into the Vulcan monastery of P'Jem, the hidden sensor array twist, T'Pol's loyalty test, Archer getting absolutely walloped, and why this hour is often cited as the moment Enterprise “found its voice.”We also riff on transporter anxiety, Andorian antennae, “pink-skins,” and how this early Human-Vulcan-Andorian friction foreshadows the United Federation of Planets.
We kick off our IN DA KLERB WE ALL MONSTERS triple feature with Peter Jackson's con job comedy from beyond the grave. The reaper is reaping, the grievers are weeping, and it turns out the portal to Hell is a giant butthole with the head of a demonic snake as we stage our next haunted house to make some quick cash, only to end up meeting the supernatural serial killer Johnny Bartlett — and his secret partner in crime — in… THE FRIGHTENERS. Starring Michael J. Fox, Trini Alvarado, Peter Dobson, John Astin, Jeffrey Combs, Dee Wallace, Jake Busey, Chi McBride, Jim Fyfe, Troy Evans, and R. Lee Ermey.

Jeffrey Tombs inducted into our Lesser Known Geek Hall Of Fame
Re-Animator (1985) was chosen by new show supporter Rhys — and what a debut pick it is. Directed by Stuart Gordon in his feature film debut, the movie became one of the defining cult horror films of the 1980s. Based loosely on H.P. Lovecraft's serialized story Herbert West–Reanimator, Gordon initially envisioned it as a stage play and later as a television series before realizing it would work best as a feature film. Shot on a modest budget of around $900,000, the production was backed by Charles Band's Empire Pictures, a studio known for embracing the stranger side of horror and science fiction. The creative team leaned into excess and black comedy, pushing the boundaries of gore and taste in a way that both shocked and delighted audiences.Filming took place over 18 days in Los Angeles, with Gordon assembling a cast of relatively unknown actors — including Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, and Barbara Crampton — who would go on to become icons of cult horror cinema. The movie's practical effects team, led by John Naulin, worked wonders with limited resources, creating gruesome yet inventive visuals that defined the film's enduring reputation. Upon release, Re-Animator was met with controversy and acclaim in equal measure, with critics alternately praising its audacity and condemning its extremity. Despite its low budget and NC-17-level violence, the film became a sleeper hit and helped launch a wave of splatter comedies that blended horror, humor, and outrageous imagination — ensuring Re-Animator a permanent place in cult movie history.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot Summary.Fun FactsThe green reagent serum used in the movie was made from fluorescent green glow stick liquid mixed with food coloring, giving it that unforgettable neon look.Director Stuart Gordon claimed he was inspired to make the film after watching Frankenstein with his wife and wondering what a modern, more extreme version would look like.Jeffrey Combs' portrayal of Herbert West became so iconic that he went on to play the character again in two sequels — Bride of Re-Animator (1989) and Beyond Re-Animator (2003).The film's most infamous scene was so shocking that it caused walkouts at its first festival screening — and immediate cult status among those who stayed.To achieve the movie's outrageous gore effects, the production used over 24 gallons of fake blood, much of it homemade from corn syrup and food dye.Barbara Crampton later revealed that she was hesitant to take on her role due to the film's extreme content, but she has since embraced its legacy in horror history.The film's composer, Richard Band, intentionally modeled the score after Bernard Herrmann's music for Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) — a choice that added a darkly playful tone.The severed head effects were created using a combination of latex prosthetics and reverse photography, which gave the film's shocking visuals their uncanny realism.Re-Animator was banned or heavily censored in several countries, including Germany, Singapore, and Australia, due to its extreme violence and sexual content.The movie's success helped revive interest in H.P. Lovecraft adaptations, paving the way for later films like From Beyond (1986), The Resurrected (1991), and Dagon (2001).thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback
Happy Halloween! We've transformed into "A Star to SPOOK Her By" this week as we take a look at a cult sci-fi horror classic. But this one has a quite explicit "Star Trek" connection in the form of Jeffrey Combs! But unlike his many "Trek" appearances, he's not behind makeup, just the respectable spectacles of Herbert West, the titular "Re-Animator". It's the film's 40th anniversary, so no better year to check it out! It's a movie that starts spooky and escalates quickly into ever-mounting craziness, culminating in a completely daft and brilliantly schlocky climax! Also this week: an alternate title, a feline turning point, and trying to stage it.
Spooky season dives into some gore and chaos as Liz & Host Spencer talk about a monster/ zombie classic: Re-Animator. With a legendary character and performance of Herbert West by Jeffrey Combs, and a great ensemble cast to boot, it has everything you need... which I am assuming is just a movie full of great quips and TONS of gore.(Content warning for the movie: S.A topics)

As always, the October MOTM is horror themed, but for a time, the horror was our communities indecision. Twice films tied for the selection, executive action resolved the dilemma and "Re-Animator" from 1985 is our film this week. A horror film filled with gore and comedy seems like a perfect choice, but a couple of the guests were less than enthusiastic, and it may surprise you as to who. If your favorite band of the 1980s is Talking Heads, you are going to love this movie. It may be classified as a zombie film, but it is closer to the mad scientist trope of horror, in spite of the large number of living dead. Bruce Abbot, Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton star in the film, but David Gale may be the antenna topper that makes it memorable.
In 1999, we were treated to a full re-imagining of the 1959 horror classic House on Haunted Hill. Directed by William Malone and loosely adapted from Robb White's original story by screenwriter Dick Beebe, this is one of those rare remakes/reboots/re-imaginings where homage and inspiration meet and produce something welcome at just the right time.This update is completely different in just about every way—except for the basic kernel of the story.Geoffrey Rush (as Steven Price) and his wife Famke Janssen (Evelyn) host a party of unsuspecting guests for a night filled with shock and terror. The animosity between the couple and the characterization of Watson Pritchett (Chris Kattan) are carried over, and yes, there's a very large house with some very scary things. But that's about where the similarities end.This re-imagining updates the tone to a contemporary horror standard: heavy on computer effects, much gorier, both almost loud enough to overshadow the entertaining performances from the entire cast, but it doesn't. In the end it all works for a lot of fun.Our party guests are rounded out by:Taye DiggsAli LarterPeter GallagherBridgette WilsonAnd the great Jeffrey Combs as Dr. VannacuttIt's slick, it's loud, it's bloody—and it's a lot of fun.

We're finally at the end! We've showered you with 1985 horror all month but didn't even get close to all of the great movies from that era. This was simply dipping a baby's big toe into the pool. We're closing it all with one that is without a doubt my favorite horror flick of 85': Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator with Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, and the late great David Gale.

Here, compiled in one convenient package, is the compleat Conclave 18 examining Stuart Gordon's 1986 H.P. Lovecraft adaptation "From Beyond," starring Barbara Crampton and Jeffrey Combs. As always, our Omnibus episodes are missing the episode breaks, modified opening crawls, and Verifier Andy's breathlessly-recounted "The Story So Far," so if you want those you'll need to go back and listen to each piece of the Conclave.

More like I still know what you did two summers ago am I right? It's summertime again and the survivors of the first film win a free trip to the Bahamas... what could possibly go wrong?

We got Brandy, we got Mekhi Phifer, we got Jeffrey Combs and Bill Cobbs, we have all these new characters to kill.Alex and Ben also find time to talk about HAPPY GILMORE 2 and create what is sure to be a new podcast favourite character, Guy Ritchie's Radiohead Charlie.Next week we're back with the direct-to-video threequel I'LL ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER.Follow us @thefranchisees on Instagram and Twitter and email us at thefranchiseespod@gmail.com
Send us your movie recommendations!This week, Captain and Wilson discuss the 2024 horror, "Stream," which is a modern slasher with streaming twist. It takes place at an isolated hotel that is turned into a murderous arena where killers compete for the highest body count while online viewers place bets on the bloodshed. The film features Jeffrey Combs, Tim Reid, Dee Wallace, Danielle Harris, and Tony Todd (...and a teeny smidge of Tim Curry).The film discussion begins around 18:05.
Tom and Jenny talk about a cheesy but fun flick from 1992 that stars Jeffrey Combs as a good wizard protecting Earth from an evil wizard. It was reportedly supposed to be an adaptation of Marvel’s Dr. Strange, but Full Moon Features lost the rights to the character before the movie was finished and it … Continue reading Movie Time: Doctor Mordrid (1992)
Grab your phials of glowing green goo and prepare to ham it up as we talk once more about Jeffrey Combs, the Philip Madoc of Star Trek (that's a Classic Doctor Who reference) and three episodes where his many characters make large roles. Unfortunately, Weyoun is only in a few scenes of Deep Space Nine's ‘Ties of Blood and Water' and both Miles and Charlie try really hard not to get personal as Kira has to look after a seriously ill surrogate family figure, fortunately Shran more than makes up for it in Enterprise's ‘Cease-Fire' as Archer is drafted into helping settle a planetary land dispute between Vulcans and Andorans and we make a little detour to ‘A Few Badgeys More' as AGIMUS, the evil computer and F***ing Peanut Hamper plan mischief… if you're one of those weirdos who only listen to hear Miles swear, this episode is for you! Come back in a year's time probably for J3ff, more than likely.EPISODES MENTIONED: TIES OF BLOOD AND WATER (14:26), CEASE-FIRE (45:33) A FEW BADGEYS MORE (1:11:27)TALKING POINTS INCLUDE: Blowing up Objectivists, what elements of British films make Miles homesick, The Phonecian Scheme, John Wickend which leads to a wider discussion on John Wick, the Death of Princess Diana, our first Jeff episode does not have enough Jeff, Kira has supplanted Odo as Miles' favourite DS9 character, how Kira and Ace from Doctor Who are very similar, a long way from the ‘Prat' version of Bashir, Miles finds out something horrifying about LL Cool J, Charlie retells his one TATU story and the boys clearly have Heatstroke, Shram/Archer shippers must exist, Andorian soccer mums, accents, Andorian Antennae acting, we don't need the Koala-joke in Lower Decks explained, Miles actually compliments ****ing Peanut Hamper, Boimler and Tendi hanging out together always seems weird.PEDANTS CORNER: Jeffrey Combs is Ratchet in Transformers Prime, not Transformers: Robots in Disguise
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Series 4, Episode 23. First broadcast on Monday 13 May 1996. Stardate: 49904.2. There's a get-to-know-you buffet at 1930 this week, as the crew of the Defiant team up with the Jem'Hadar to fight some Jem'Hadar rebels who want to take over the Galaxy. And, surprisingly late in the series, we get the first appearance of Jeffrey Combs as Weyoun.

Cease Fire (Star Trek: Enterprise, S2 E15) was recommended by nazzy (she/her), who said: For being a founding member of the Federation, the Andorians have gotten seriously short shrift over the years by various Trek series. Enterprise made that up to us, giving us more Andorians per capita than any Trek before or since! And best of all, it gave us Shran, quite possibly Jeffrey Combs's best role in a career full of them.And Cease Fire is a great showcase for the Andorians, and for Shran. We learn more about the long, ugly war between Andoria and Vulcan, and how that conflict has poisoned perceptions on both sides, leaving humans (in the form of Jonathan Archer) as possibly the only group capable of bridging the gap. And for a delightful bonus, we get the wonderful Gary Graham in fine form as Ambassador Soval, whose Vulcan reserve can't hide the fact he doesn't think Archer can hack it either.Cease Fire first aired on February 12, 2003, written by Chris Black, and directed by David StraitonCaptain Archer negotiates a cease fire between the Andorians and the Vulcans.The Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook

Ever wanted to know Garcia's origin story? Too bad, you're hearing it anyway. In "The Black Queen", Garcia must regress to her past persona to help solve a case of someone killing prostitutes and the computer world is involved somehow. In the midst of this we get to meet Garcia's ex-boyfriend, aka the worst person alive. (Worse than Nicholas Brendon!) Come for the origin, stay for Jeffrey Combs. Is he the unsub? Would Criminal Minds ever be that predictable?
At last month's Creep I.E. Con in Ontario, California, Halloweenies executive producer Michael Roffman and Scare You to Sleep creator Shelby Novak hosted a 40th anniversary panel of Re-Animator featuring Barbara Crampton, Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, Brian Yuzna, and Richard Band.
