In this episode, we sit down with the legendary John Harrison — a creative force in horror and sci-fi — to trace his incredible journey from a love of film and music to becoming one of the most influential names in genre storytelling.We talk about his early days collaborating with the great George A. Romero, composing unforgettable scores for Creepshow and Day of the Dead, and how that partnership helped launch his career. John takes us deep into his work as both a writer and director on Tales from the Darkside, from the TV series to the now cult-favorite Tales from the Darkside: The Movie.We also revisit the underrated early gem Scary Tales, his contributions to Wes Craven's Nightmare Cafe, and his time working on Tales from the Crypt — all showcasing his lasting impact on anthology horror.The conversation takes a turn into sci-fi as John discusses his major role in bringing Frank Herbert's Dune to the screen — both in the acclaimed early 2000s adaptation and as executive producer on the current hit franchise.We also dive into his work on the modern Creepshow series for Shudder, the potential for more stories to come, and his exciting shift into novel writing with his recent books Destiny Gardens, Passing Through Veils, and Residue — the latter of which was adapted into a Netflix series.John reflects on the past, shares his thoughts on the future of the genre, and offers up some truly unforgettable behind-the-scenes stories.If you're a horror fan, this is one conversation you don't want to miss.Follow John Harrison: John Harrison WebsiteJohn Harrison InstagramIf you enjoyed this - Check out my other content here - https://linktr.ee/FirstClassHorrorBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/class-horror-cast--4295531/support.

Pocas cosas hay más resbaladizas que medir el transcurso del tiempo, pero, a pesar de ello, desde la antigüedad los seres humanos lo han intentado. Uno de los primeros instrumentos dedicados a esta tarea fue el reloj de sol, sencillo y económico, que fue perfeccionándose para adaptarse a diferentes latitudes y longitudes. Pero su dependencia del sol lo hacía inútil en días nublados o de noche. Para superar estas limitaciones surgieron otros dispositivos como la clepsidra de agua, los bastoncillos combustibles y el reloj de arena. La clepsidra, basada en la caída constante del agua por gravedad, fue un invento muy ingenioso que evolucionó desde simples vasijas perforadas hasta sistemas que activaban mecanismos para señalar las horas. Estos instrumentos, aunque útiles para medir fracciones de tiempo, requerían mantenimiento constante y tenían serias limitaciones para la medición continua. Durante siglos, los relojes de sol, agua y arena fueron suficientes, pero las dificultades prácticas impulsaron la invención del reloj mecánico en Europa en el siglo XIII. Este avance no se debió únicamente al clima, como se suele argumentar, ya que Europa tiene regiones soleadas y el problema del hielo existía en otras partes del mundo. La clave estuvo en la mentalidad innovadora de la Europa medieval, que veía en las máquinas soluciones a los desafíos ambientales. Tenemos ejemplos como los molinos de agua y viento, o los mecanismos para tocar campanas en iglesias. El reloj mecánico nació con un invento concreto: el mecanismo de escape de varilla con balancín, probablemente en un monasterio. Los primeros relojes, aparecidos hacia 1275, eran grandes estructuras de pesos y engranajes sin esfera que tocaban campanas para marcar las horas. Su difusión coincidió con la expansión urbana, las universidades y las catedrales góticas de los siglos XIII y XIV. Todas las principales ciudades de Europa occidental instalaron relojes públicos, que no solo organizaban la vida urbana, sino que también conferían prestigio. Pero su alto precio y las exigencias de mantenimiento los reservaban para ciudades ricas. Estos primeros relojes eran imprecisos, tenían desviaciones de hasta media hora diaria, y frecuentemente se averiaban. A pesar de esto, los relojeros innovaron añadiendo complicaciones astronómicas y autómatas, como el célebre reloj de Estrasburgo que mostraba movimientos planetarios y figuras animadas. En el siglo XV, la invención del muelle permitió crear relojes portátiles que fueron miniaturizándose aún más hasta convertirse en dispositivos de bolsillo. En los siglos XVI y XVII, la relojería se profesionalizó, con centros de producción en Augsburgo, Nuremberg, Ginebra y Londres. La demanda creciente, impulsada por una clase urbana acomodada, fomentó la innovación y la producción en masa, reduciendo los costes de fabricación y el precio final. En el siglo XVII el péndulo de Huygens y el escape de ancla mejoraron notablemente la precisión. El cronómetro marino de John Harrison resolvió el problema de la longitud en la navegación. El siglo XIX industrializó la relojería, con marcas como Tissot e Ingersoll que empezaron a producir relojes en serie a precios asequibles. En el siglo XX, los relojes de pulsera, los automáticos y los de cuarzo inventados por Seiko se apoderaron del mercado. Hoy, los relojes inteligentes, como el Apple Watch, integran múltiples funciones, pero todos parten de la misma idea: medir el tiempo para hacernos la vida más cómoda.

This week we chat with filmmaker, producer, composer, writer, author...this guy's done it all...John Harrison. From working with George Romero on everything from Creepshow and Dawn of the Dead to Tales from the Darkside to the Dune miniseries to his Netflix series Residue...he's done it all. He even directed Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, which was Andrew LaSane's Scarred for Life pick, which is one of Terry's favorite movies.

Poirot, con su característica astucia, investigará el caso y desentrañará la verdad oculta tras las sospechas de su amigo.

For our first episode of 2025, we touch upon novels we've been reading for the new year, including Charles Stross's 13th Laundry novel/collection A Conventional Boy and Ray Nayler's Where the Axe is Buried, as well as the frustrations of reading books on deadlines—as opposed to wallowing in them at leisure, and some non-SF writers we like. Gary then mentions how hard it is to gain perspective on novels of the past year, and suggests looking instead at important books of the entire past quarter-century from the perspective of 2025.  We only got partway through his list, which included novels by Alastair Reynolds, Kim Stanley Robinson, Octavia Butler, M. John Harrison, Margaret Atwood, Susanna Clarke, Gene Wolfe, Cixin Liu, and Robert Charles Wilson; collections by Kelly Link, Margo Lanagan, and Jeff Ford; anthologies by Sheree R. Thomas and Gardner Dozois—the last of which leads to a discussion of the durability of space opera as a defining SF theme. Plenty of stuff to argue with this week!

What people are saying: "A Natural History of Empty Lots" is the best and most interesting book I've ever read about the spaces we often overlook. Christopher Brown comes to these places with a deep curiosity and understanding of both human and nonhuman history. An instant classic.” Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times bestselling author."Instantly hypnotic, A Natural History of Empty Lots invites you to see the ‘waste' spaces of the Anthropocene for what they are: a resource that contains more than itself. Christopher Brown is a complete and literate denizen of these zones. His calm, clever writing shows a real care for the natural world, and a real feel for the deep worth of the brownfield liminal.” M. John Harrison, Goldsmiths Prize-winning author of Wish I Was Here and Climbers. https://christopherbrown.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Wiz RECOMMENDS Star Trek Into Darkness Star Trek Into Darkness has all of the things that made the reboot film good: it has a great cast with great characters continuing their adventures and arcs in a satisfyingly entertaining film. This goes doubly for Zachary Quinto as Spock, who is furthering the depth of the Vulcan with his struggle between being both Vulcan and Human. The charm and the likability of these characters are just as good as they were in the previous film...if not more so. ...until the end of the first act that is. After that, the film screeches into a thriller/drama halt that, as entertaining as it is, seems to falter in its self-seriousness. Mind you, the thriller aspects are pretty good: the action is exciting and the plot moves along to keep these aspects of the film engaging. It's the drama portion that doesn't work quite as well: the drama with Spock and everyone else is done well, but the relationship between Pike and Kirk? Not so much. In fact, the drama with Kirk feels a tad forced. What also doesn't work? The villain of the film, John Harrison, played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Wait wait...that's not exactly true. Cumberbatch as Harrison is actually pretty good. He does well in the action parts of the film and plays a very calculated and cold killer quite well. -----SPOILERS FOR Star Trek Into Darkness STARTS HERE--------- When the villain becomes a problem is when it is revealed who John Harrison really is: Khan. Then...things get slippery real fast. Now, it is true that they have to change up characters in a reboot to make it feel fresh...but there are aspects of Cumberbatch's Khan that doesn't fit right. Lack of charisma, how stone faced his performance is...how much he plays TOO WELL into the supervillain role. Ricardo Montalban's performance led you to believe he could lead and people would want to, despite being a sneering, despicable villain. Cumberbatch really doesn't. On top of that, the film likes to reference The Wrath of Khan way too much...and none of it really fits well with the rest of the film. ---------SPOILERS END-------------- This leads to a weird result with the film: it's good only in the parts that remind you of the reboot film. But when it reminds you of what's in the spoiler section, it actually feels a lot messier than it needs to. The result is a film that will entertain you with it's heroes' plight but will make you shake your head when it leads to the villain.

Since launching the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST Patreon in April of 2021, we've offered our patrons exclusive perks based on the tier they signed up for. One of those perks is participating in all request programs. If you want to join in future all-request shows, please head over to our Patreon page, and join the community in any tier that is $5 USD/month or above. Once you do, you can participate in all upcoming all-request programs. Before we get into today's episode, we must first discuss its origins. On October 30, 2023, I worked late into the evening to complete the first ALL REQUEST HALLOWEEN SPECIAL. The audio was recorded, tracks were chosen, and the editing was finished. I tried to export the show, and to my horror Adobe Audition crashed. I restarted the application and tried again. Same result, but this time I received an error message indicating that my voice-over file was corrupt. It took nearly an hour to record the voiceover and several hours to edit the episode. I was also in the midst of one of my busiest years ever, so I didn't have the time or energy to do it all over again, so I informed my Patrons that the show would be postponed and rescheduled for this year! Thank goodness I have a wonderful community of patrons over there, they understand and waited patiently for the show to be done.  Fast forward almost 365 days, and here we are; everything has been re-recorded, re-edited, and... I am pleased to announce that the show has been successfully exported for you to enjoy today!

TITLE:  Green Building and Sustainability Leader John Harrison (Returning Guest) John Harrison, FAIA, RDI, LEED Fellow.  John is a sustainability innovator and licensed architect with extensive and diverse experience in both project and enterprise level certifications and design standards. He is one of the world's foremost experts on the global application of sustainable strategies at scale and utilizes his expertise in sustainable architecture, engineering and construction to enable organizations to reach unprecedented goals.   John is a pioneer in the evolution and implementation of multiple LEED rating systems; as an early adopter for the original 1998 LEED pilot, the first commercial interiors rating system, and the LEED retail and volume build pilots. While at Starbucks, he co-authored the company's LEED for Retail Volume Build Program and led the execution team responsible for sustainable strategies and LEED certifications. With over 1,600 certified stores in 22 different countries/territories and all 50 US states, the program is recognized as the most successful green building program of its kind in the world. In private architectural practice, John spent 13 years at Mithun in Seattle working with a variety of sustainably driven retail, commercial and institutional clients including: Recreational Equipment Incorporated (REI), Precor, Miraval Resort and Spa and the IslandWood Environmental Learning Center. IslandWood was one of the first five LEED Gold certifications in the world and an American Institute of Architects (AIA) Committee on the Environment (COTE) Top Ten Award winner. For the outdoor retailer REI, John executed more than five dozen sustainable core stores, in addition to flagship projects in Bloomington, MN and Tokyo, Japan. With John's leadership, the REI building portfolio was elevated with scalable core standards based on sustainable strategies explored in flagship projects resulting in some of the first LEED ID+C Retail Projects ever certified. John is a dedicated environmental advocate who has donated thousands of hours, through multiple channels at local, regional, national and international levels.

Show Highlights   Navigating global sustainability standards and challenges of working with different sustainability standards across countries. Importance of adapting to local codes and practices while maintaining global sustainability goals. Examples of projects in various countries, luxury retailers, and their unique challenges. The future of green building with a focus on carbon reduction and human health in building design. The need for generative design and inclusive leadership in the green building movement. Importance of addressing existing building stock and portfolio-driven solutions. John's collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to projects in his career. Exposure to sustainable materials and practices  Early adoption of sustainable practices and materials. REI flagship store in Seattle. Challenges and successes in certifying over 1600 Starbucks stores globally. Collaboration with USGBC and GBCI to develop and refine the LEED volume program. Impact of his work on colleagues and the broader green building community   “The other thing I think is thematic and necessary is that we can build a lot of really cool, perfect buildings and it takes a lot of effort and maybe they use very little water and no energy off the grid, but it doesn't account for the vast majority of the housing stock and the business stock and the office stock and the retail stock. The portfolio driven solutions are going to be another thing that is going to continue to drive the industry. It's like how do I take a massive machine and make it 20% better, because that 20% represents a whole heck of a lot of carbon and other negative impacts.” -John Harrison   “I think it's more about the ripple effect. The ripple effect of green building projects is pretty cool, and totally quantifiable. It's like basic math and something people understand, the ripple effect with people that you either influenced or helped along the way or they helped you along the way and what they've become and where they've gone.” -John Harrison     Show Resource and Information Connect with Charlie Cichetti and GBES   GBES is excited our membership community is growing.
