On Day 4 of our 31 Days of Halloween, I take a look at James Wan's breakout horror film Saw (2004). This low-budget psychological thriller changed the landscape of 2000s horror, introducing audiences to the twisted games of Jigsaw and kicking off a franchise that would define the “torture horror” era. While I dive into its cultural impact and the film's infamous final twist, I'll also be honest—this one really isn't for me. Still, there's no denying Saw left its mark on the genre, inspiring countless imitators and even helping spark the escape-room craze years later.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.In the past few days, Mr. Beast—aka Jimmy Donaldson—has dominated headlines and social media with what is easily one of his most controversial stunts yet. On September 28, 2025, Mr. Beast released a new YouTube video titled Would you risk dying for $500,000, immediately igniting fierce debate. The video, which racked up over 43 million views in just a day, features Donaldson overseeing a series of extreme challenges, including one where a man—later confirmed by Donaldson to be a professional stuntman—was tied up and left to escape from a burning building. Wearing a firefighter's coat, Mr. Beast plays host to what many described as 'fire traps,' including being shot out of a cannon and surviving explosions.The internet, particularly X users, erupted. Some compared Mr. Beast to the fictional killer Jigsaw, labeling the video sadistic and accusing him of pushing boundaries for views with what they called 'reckless engagement.' Critics questioned the safety and ethicality of making people perform dangerous stunts for cash prizes, with one user bluntly calling the act 'super villain sh*t.' Mr. Beast's massive young audience—he currently boasts around 441 million subscribers, many under 25—added fuel to the discussion, with concerns voiced by the public about the potential for impressionable fans to imitate these dangerous stunts without proper safety precautions.Mr. Beast responded directly to criticism on social media and in statements to TMZ, emphasizing that participant safety was paramount. He asserted that every challenge was thoroughly tested, carried out exclusively by seasoned stunt professionals, and supervised by a full rescue team, including firefighters, EMTs, and a dedicated pyro team able to 'essentially turn off the fire if there was ever an issue.' He reiterated on X that ventilation and both smoke and flame 'kill switches' were in place, and every contingency was covered.While the backlash remains heated, plenty of others on social media dismissed the outrage as overblown, pointing out the obvious professionalism and control behind the stunts. Nonetheless, the ongoing firestorm highlights how Donaldson continues to push the limits of participatory entertainment and the conversation around safety, ethics, and influence in YouTube content creation. No significant new business launches have been reported over the past 24 hours, nor has Mr. Beast made any public appearances outside this viral episode, but it is clear his every move is under the microscope as the internet debates the boundaries of spectacle.Thanks for tuning in to Mr. Beast Biography Flash.

The great trouble with contemporary polling comes down to drawing a representative analysis from one-word responses.

Nathan and Ryan continue their descent into the Saw franchise with Saw IV (2007), the entry that proves Jigsaw's traps don't stop just because he's dead. As Detective Rigg is forced through a series of brutal tests, the movie expands the lore with flashbacks to John Kramer's past while upping the gore to new extremes. The hosts break down the increasingly convoluted timeline, the creative (and nasty) traps, and debate whether this sequel keeps the tension alive or drowns in its own mythology.

Producer Oren Koules (SAW 1-10, TWO AND A HALF MEN, DEAD SILENCE, RUN RONNIE RUN, SET IT OFF) joins Adam and Joe to discuss his career journey and the making of his new feature TRUST (in theaters now). From setting up at least half a dozen projects at studios only to have them never get made… to trying his hand at being a studio executive himself… to surrounding himself with talented professionals and learning how to produce on the job… to just how close SAW came to either never being released or being released directly to home video… to the incredible story of the testing scores that changed SAW's fate… to his experience shepherding the franchise for over 20 years now… to how his obligations to TWO AND A HALF MEN and making annual SAW films left him with a long stretch of time when he didn't have time to work on anything else… to the casting and producing of TRUST… to how he picks the projects he produces… to his thoughts on horror/comedies, why slasher films aren't his thing, and why he disagrees with SAW being labeled “torture porn”… this conversation is Producing 101 for anyone looking to become a producer but not being sure what steps to take.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! EL SEÑOR DE LOS ANILLOS vuelve a nuestro programa con esta segunda y última entrega del especial monográfico. En esta ocasión nos centraremos específicamente en sus adaptaciones cinematográficas, las que se quedaron por el camino, las que ni siquiera arrancaron, las que mostraron la historia desde el campo de la animación y las que se dividieron en tres películas, arrasaron en los Oscars y pusieron un listón difícilmente superable para cualquier posible remake hasta bien pasadas tres o cuatro décadas, como mínimo. Los colaboradores habituales del programa, Raúl Martín y Nathan Kurtz, acompañados del presentador, editor y director de La Órbita De Endor, Antonio Runa, explorarán todos estos escabrosos terrenos, enfangándose en no pocos pantanos que quizá provoquen controversia entre la audiencia. Además, en la fase final del programa, una vez analizadas las películas más importantes que trasladaron la obra de Tolkien a la gran pantalla, charlaremos animadamente con Miguel Ángel Jenner, director del doblaje de la edición española de la trilogía dirigida por Peter Jackson, quien además prestó su voz al personaje del enano Gimli, y que habitualmente dobla a Samuel L Jackson, Jean Reno, Ving Rhames o el personaje Jigsaw en la saga Saw, entre otros muchos papeles. Junto a él estará José Mediavilla, la voz de Morgan Freeman en español, amén de infinidad de otros actores, como Michael Clarke Duncan, James Earl Jones o John Goodman, entre otros muchos, y que en las películas de El Señor de los Anillos dobló al mago Gandalf. Nos contarán no pocas anécdotas relacionadas con el trabajo que rodeó a la famosa trilogía, desde el punto de vista de su profesión. Os garantizamos que se trata de uno de los episodios de LODE más recomendables de la presente temporada, y lo tenéis que escuchar independientemente de cuál sea vuestra opinión sobre las películas de la saga.

Those who do win. Those are Keith Teare's immortal words to describe the winners of today's Silicon Valley battle to control tomorrow's AI world. But the real question, of course, is what to do to win this war. The battle (to excuse all these blunt military metaphors) is to assemble the AI pieces to reassemble what Keith calls the “jigsaw” of our new chat centric world. And to do that, the veteran start-up entrepreneur advises, requires owning “the front door”. Yet as Keith acknowledges, we're still in the AltaVista era of AI—multiple contenders fighting for dominance before a Google-like winner emerges. His key insight is that “attachment becomes the moat”. Users develop emotional bonds with their preferred AI interface, creating switching costs that transform temporary advantages into permanent market positions. Multi-trillion dollar success belongs to whoever builds the stickiest, most indispensable gateway to our AI-native future. Those who do that will win; those who don't, will not. 1. We're in the "AltaVista era" of AI - Multiple players (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Perplexity) are competing for dominance, but like the early search engine wars, one will likely emerge as the clear winner within 1-2 years.2. "Attachment becomes the moat" - Users develop emotional bonds with their preferred AI interface that create powerful switching costs. Keith uses Claude for coding and won't switch despite trying alternatives, demonstrating how user loyalty becomes a competitive advantage.3. The shift from "page-based" to "AI-native" internet - We're moving from a web of URLs and content pages to one where every interaction starts with human-AI conversation. The browser is becoming yesterday's technology.4. Publishers aren't doomed but are unprepared - The monetization model will evolve from traditional advertising to contextual links surfaced by AI. Publishers will eventually "beg to be included" and AI companies will pay for training content while driving traffic through relevant links.5. The "jigsaw pieces" already exist across industries - In healthcare, finance, and other sectors, all the components needed for AI transformation are available but need assembly. Whoever puts these pieces together first in each field will become massive companies - potentially the world's biggest in their respective industries.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

We want to play a game. That's right, it's time to investigate 2004's Saw - the low-budget sleeper hit that became a phenomenon and kicked off one of the most lucrative horror franchises of the last two decades. But this original entry has some key differences from the majority of its sequels, so join us as we unpack the film we remember this being vs. what it actually is. Topics include: the short film that was sent out with copies of the script, the unusual course of events that led to Danny Glover accepting one of the important supporting roles, some of the major inconsistencies with Jigsaw's methodology, how the abbreviated shooting schedule prevented director James Wan from getting all of the footage he needed, the creative solutions that were employed to patch those holes, why the opening fifteen minutes is still our favorite part of the movie, what we think of the sequels, where the franchise goes from here,  and much more!

Lock yourself into the castle... sorry, I mean PRISON OF THE DEAD, an early 2000's David DeCoteau joint about a group of dumb teens who shack up in a haunted dungeon for a night of gore and arguably one too many twists. We're joined this week by author Nathaniel Tolle!  Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli  Theme song by Kyle Hornbeck  Logo by Doug McCambridge  Email: puppetmasterscastlefreaks@gmail.com Instagram/Threads: @puppetmasters_castlefreaks  YouTube: @PuppetMastersCastleFreaks  Next week's episode: Jigsaw

Josh Stolberg is a director, screenwriter, and photographer whose work spans comedy, horror, and thriller. Among the horror crowd, Josh is best known for his work as writer on movies like Sorority Row and Piranha 3D. Josh is well known for his contributions to the Saw franchise, penning scripts for Jigsaw (2017), Spiral (2021), and Saw X (2023).His latest project is Skillhouse, which he wrote and directed. Skillhouse is a critique on influencer culture with brutal, practical-effects-driven set pieces by Steve Johnson. There was one sequence in Skillhouse that was so brutal the DP actually passed out. True story. Josh gets into this, his career history, advice for writers and aspiring filmmakers, and the background behind his very exciting new project, Darren and Josh Make a Movie, a podcast-docuseries hybrid that gives audiences a behind-the-scenes look at the process of making an indie horror film from concept to completion, which he co-hosts with Darren Lynn Bousman. This was an extra special and extra fun episode. I loved chatting with Josh and hope to do so again real soon. Please enjoy Josh Stolberg.Key TakeawaysSpec scripts represent your purest voice. Josh broke into horror by writing a Piranha spec script in four weeks and remember, he wasn't hired to do this. He pleaded with the rights holder to let him try, and the resulting script jumpstarted his horror career. He put his time and effort on the line and that gamble paid off. This taught him that writing for yourself — not a paycheck — produces your most authentic and personal work. A lot of would-be writers and filmmakers refuse to write spec scripts, which in some scenarios makes sense, but if you're just starting out, specs are your bread and butter. They not only force you to hone your craft, they can open doors and introduce the world to your voice. Note your first few will likely suck — Josh's first few apparently did — but he often pulls characters, scenes, or details from failed projects to give them new life in new ones. So the beauty of a bad script is they aren't failures, they're raw material. Keep everything, you'll use it later.Keep multiple irons in the fire.There's a creative dichotomy that focus is critical, but you never know which project will hit so therefore, it's important to keep multiple projects moving forward at the same time. Josh juggles dozens of projects at various stages — from ideas to early drafts to ones in active development — he rotates between them based on energy and momentum. His “creative journal” method helps him track where to put his time without burning out or stalling, and he has an organized database of his projects that lets him navigate which to focus on. When one project stalls, he pivots to another — keeping the creativity and productivity flowing while avoiding burnout.Know your audience — but don't just give them what they ask for.After receiving intense backlash for his Jigsaw script, Josh learned the hard way how passionate (and vocal) Saw fans are. But when it came time for Saw X, he embraced that feedback and turned around a script for the second-best Saw movie since the original. Fans wanted more Jigsaw, so he gave them what they wanted, BUT instead of over-indulging in fan service, he also found ways to surprise the audience. The goal is balance: fan service with subversion. It's a magical combination and led to the rabid popularity of Saw X, which made over $110 million and gained the highest Rotten Tomatoes score of the entire franchise.Show NotesMovies DiscussedSaw XSpiralJigsawPiranha 3DSkill HouseRepo!

When Yasmin Green joined Google almost two decades ago, she knew she wanted to focus on the complex problems facing humanity in a technological world – from violent extremism to political censorship. As the CEO of Jigsaw, a unit within Google that’s dedicated to understanding global challenges and applying technological solutions, she’s been able to do just that. Jigsaw’s most recent project took Green and her team to Bowling Green, Kentucky to figure out how they could use AI to improve a civic cornerstone: the town hall. Green sits down with Oz to talk about the project, What Could BG Be?, and what the role of Jigsaw is in today’s rapidly shifting, revenue-oriented tech landscape.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Drive-In Double Feature, Nathan and Ryan dive headfirst into the grimy, blood-soaked world of James Wan's breakout horror hit: Saw (2004). The guys revisit the low-budget thriller that kicked off a franchise, launched the torture-porn trend, and gave us one of horror's most iconic villains: Jigsaw. From the grungy set pieces to the twist that blew everyone's minds in 2004, the hosts dissect what still works, what aged like a rusty hacksaw, and why this little indie horror flick made such a big impact. It's a game of survival—and podcasting.

It's double the Carrie, double the body count this week as we unpack not one, but two remakes of the seminal Stephen King spectacular, CARRIE (2002 and 2013)!! And we're bursting out of the scary prayer closet with two Retuning Champions you know and love - from Horror Queers, it's Joe Lipsett and Trace Thurman here to help us two more modern Black proms and the problems that come with them!! Can any version of Carrie live up to DePalma's? What if you add a lot of Dutch angled, vaseline-lensed SyFy Original visuals? What if you turn Carrie White into Darth Vader? How did Trace traumatize dance class bros? Do either of the remakes best the Carrie 2 sequel? It's a battle of Christ Hartigans, lackluster Tommys, uneven Sues, and divergent Margrets!! All this, plus internet backlashes, plugs and tips, Carrie vs. Jigsaw, bad Billys, thick blood, wonky CGI, and a gym full of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

Episode 67 - Murdock and Marvel: 2004 Part 2 2004 was a relatively quiet year in comics, but there were some critical developments that made waves into the future.  Big movies, heroes back from the dead, and some important new faces! This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2004.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #54-66, Daredevil: Father #1, Daredevil 2099 #1, Punisher #35-37, Exiles #39 and #43, Spider-Man Unlimited #1, Elektra #35, Marvel 1602 #8, Secret War #2-3, Powerless #1-5, Ultimate Elektra #1-3  Writing: David Mack (#54-55), Brian Michael Bendis (#56-66)  Pencils: David Mack (#54-55), Alex Maleev (#56-64 and 66), Maleev, Michael Golden, Greg Horn, P. Craig Russell, Phil Hester, Chris Bachalo, Jae Lee, David Finch and Frank Quitely (#65)  Inks: David Mack (#54-55), Alex Maleev (#56-64 and 66), Maleev, Michael Golden, Greg Horn, P. Craig Russell, Phil Hester, Chris Bachalo, Jae Lee, David Finch and Frank Quitely (#65)  The year begins late in 2003, as we noted two weeks ago with our 2003 discussion, with the return of David Mack to writing and art and Maya Lopez in the book itself. She's returned to New York and is looking to reconnect with Daredevil. After he shares he's now with someone else, she instead visits with a chief her father knew and goes on a vision quest. There, with the help of a man shaped in the form of a wolverine, helps her understand a story her father used to tell her and helps her realize who she is. She goes back to Daredevil and bids him goodbye with a kiss.  From there, Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev return with a story called The King of Hell's Kitchen. We learn it's been a year since the confrontation between Kingpin and Daredevil and according to Ben Urich – Daredevil has been very busy cleaning up the kitchen while also taking some flack about his methods from other superheroes.   His latest dealings have been against the Yakuza and after a large battle Daredevil's gone missing. Milla Donovan reached out to Urich to find him and during their discussion we learned that 4 months ago she and Murdock got married. Urich finds Murdock and reunited the married couple – but not before suggesting the events of the last year are all his way coping with the death of Karen Page. With a little help from some super powered friends, Daredevil puts a stop to the Yakuza plot to take over Hell's Kitchen. Milla confronts Matt about his problems over the death of Karen Page and before leaving her husband.  Next we get storyline featuring another of Matt's love interests, the Black Widow, in a story called “The Widow”. Black Widow gets “called in” be SHIELD and realizing it's a trap – instead goes to visit Matt Murdock in New York hoping she can hide in plain sight. The pair take down Jigsaw and upon making bail – he goes back to Murdock asking permission to run crime through Hell's kitchen (since he's the new Kingpin). Matt isn't amused.  Turns out the hiding in plain sight didn't work as the two get shot at by a hired assassin while having lunch. The pair go after the assassin and after that Natasha finally shares the reason for her visit. Though the conversation is cut short as Jigsaw and his men have entered Murdock's home and Matt can't fight them as daredevil and revealing his lie. In the end, we learn a Bulgarian minister and Natasha's ex-husband were behind the ordeal and Matt begrudgingly gives Milla the annulment to their marriage.  In November, we get a HUGE 40th Anniversary Special issue. This story backtracks over the 1 year time period that Matt Murdock was outed as Daredevil that Ben Urich told us about during the King of Hell's Kitchen story earlier this year. To do so, the Bendis and Maleev called on a host of other artists to tell the story. This seems like the perfect book for this week's spotlight.  There is one more book this year, But it starts another storyline – so we'll save that for our 2005 discussion.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #65 November 2004 “The Universe” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Reading Marvel is great, but when you see Jean Grey die for the second time, Marvel has told you its story, and its time to start looking into other publishers.

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! Dangerous Animals is a summer horror movie with big scary sharks, but we think it has MUCH more in common with our beloved Saw than it does with Jaws.

The Israeli government's push to transform the media landscape has been described by critics as a “hostile takeover” that poses a threat to press freedom. The Global Jigsaw takes a look at what people in Israel see about the war in Gaza on their TV screens. We examine the methods and the motives behind the prime minister's media squeeze, and ask what this means for the country priding itself on being "the only democracy" in the Middle East.

When I was growing up, school holidays weren't packed with organized activities. Sometimes, to relieve the boredom of a rainy day, I would tackle a jigsaw – I remember one particularly challenging 1000-piece puzzle which, when completed, promised to reveal a charming picture of Dutch skaters on a frozen lake.

We assess the damage to independent journalism globally by cuts to USAGM and USAID, described as “the chainsaw approach” of the Trump administration. The defunding of Voice of America, RFE/RL (Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty) and its multiple language services has been decried as “a gift to dictators”. Although these cuts are being disputed in court, they could have long-lasting implications for audiences around the world. Can the harm be undone?Producer: Kriszta Satori Presenter: Krassi Twigg Contributors: Pascal Fletcher, Samia Hosny, Margaryta Maliukova, Andrey Vladov, Tom Lam, Sarbas Nazari, Moses Rono

Writer/director Josh Stolberg (Saw X, Spiral and Jigsaw) returns to talk about the July release of his next indi-horror movie Skillhouse.

It's time for peak The Punsiher everyone. In 2008 under the Marvel Knights brand Lionsgate attempted another Punisher rebooted with Ray Stevenson stepping into the role of Frank Castle. It wasn't recieved well at the time nor did it perform well at the box office despite, in hindsight, it being an incredible fun and gory time at the movies. Director Lexi Alexander managed to craft what feels like the truest on screen adaptation of the character we've ever seen and even manages to include the likes of Jigsaw, with a suitably unhinged performance from Dominic West. Great stuff.

This week Erin is back in Jigsaw's basement (Vancouver). Bryan has a memorable dining experience in NYC, plus he has a birthday surprise (and demonstration!) of Erin's birthday gift from Madison Avenue. Bryan informs us of Republicans changing their vote in the Montana legislature after both HB 675 and HB 754 targeting drag and trans children were defeated due to impassioned speeches on both sides of the aisle. Erin praises Rep. Bill Keating for his allyship in standing up for Rep. Sarah McBride who continues to be misgendered by Republicans in Congress. We dedicate this episode to our longtime listener Tom McNab who passed away last week.
