Podcasts about Joon

Johnny Depp played Sam, a tree-climbing, borderline-illiterate, aspiring mime. Shockingly, Sam's antics aren't even the quirkiest things taking place in 1993's Benny & Joon. Poker games with weird prizes, a snorkel-wearing sister, and a former horror movie actress are just a few of the ingredients making up this flaky crowd-pleaser. But now, decades later, is a quirky point of view appropriate for a love story involving a woman with mental illness? Is Aidan Quinn sexy or snoozy? And, why oh why, is Benny & Joon's house such an ungodly mess? The Old Roommates bust open a carton of raisins and give it all a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Crack open some peanut butter and join them.Old Roommates can be reached via email at oldroommatespod@gmail.com.

"괜찮아, 이번엔 성공할 거야."En: However, Joon just smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll succeed this time."Ko: 한편, 그 옆에는 환하게 웃는 혜리가 있었습니다.En: Meanwhile, next to him was Hyeri, who was smiling brightly.Ko: 혜리는 카메라를 들고 사람들의 행복한 모습을 찍고 있었습니다.En: Hyeri was holding a camera, capturing the happy faces of people.Ko: "준, 사진 찍어줄게! 멋지게 날려봐!" 혜리는 즐겁게 외쳤습니다.En: "Joon, I'll take your picture! Fly it magnificently!" Hyeri cheerfully called out.Ko: 모두가 즐거운 시간을 보내던 그때, 준의 연이 불행히도 벚꽃 나무 가지에 걸려버렸습니다.En: Everyone was having a great time when, unfortunately, Joon's kite got caught on a cherry blossom tree branch.Ko: 그것은 우연이었지만, 문제는 커져갔습니다.En: It was accidental, but the problem escalated.Ko: 준은 마음이 급해졌습니다.En: Joon became anxious.Ko: "어떻게 하지?" 속으로 고민했습니다.En: "What should I do?" he pondered inwardly.Ko: 모두가 그를 바라보고 있었습니다.En: Everyone was watching him.Ko: 준은 고민 끝에 나무에 올라가기로 결심했습니다.En: After some deliberation, Joon decided to climb the tree.Ko: 조심조심 가지를 오르다가 갑자기 발을 헛디뎠습니다.En: Carefully climbing the branches, he suddenly lost his footing.Ko: 그러자 연줄이 풀리며 옆에 있던 다른 사람들의 연들과 엉켜버렸습니다.En: Then the kite string unraveled and became entangled with the kites of others standing nearby, causing an uproar.Ko: 사람들은 놀라면서도 웃음을 터뜨렸습니다.En: People were startled but burst into laughter.Ko: 세나는 재빨리 움직였고, 혜리는 상황을 진정시키려 했습니다.En: Sena moved quickly, and Hyeri tried to calm the situation.Ko: 준은 얼굴이 빨개졌지만 결국 그만 웃음을 터뜨리고 말았습니다.En: Joon's face turned red, but in the end, he couldn't help but laugh.Ko: "이것도 축제의 일부인가 봐," 그는 웃으며 말했습니다.En: "I guess this is also part of the festival," he said with a smile.Ko: 그리고 주변 사람들도 웃으며 그것에 동의했습니다.En: And the surrounding people, laughing along, agreed with him.Ko: 마침내 상황은 정리되고, 준은 연을 돌려받았습니다.En: Finally, the situation was resolved, and Joon got his kite back.Ko: 그는 결국 대회에서 이기진 못했지만, 중요한 깨달음을 얻었습니다.En: Although he didn't win the competition, he learned an important lesson.Ko: "결국, 모두가 함께 웃고 즐기는 게 가장 중요한 거구나," 준은 마음속으로 생각했습니다.En: "In the end, what's most important is that everyone laughs and has fun together," Joon thought to himself.Ko: 한강 공원은 여전히 활기차게 움직이고 있었습니다.En: Hangang Park was still bustling with activity.Ko: 사람들은 저마다의 방식으로 봄을 만끽하며 웃고 떠들었습니다.En: People were enjoying the spring in their own way, laughing and chatting.Ko: 준은 그 옆에서 흐뭇하게 눈을 감고 봄바람을 느꼈습니다.En: Joon stood nearby, closing his eyes contentedly and feeling the spring breeze.Ko: 나쁜 일도 좋은 추억이 될 수 있다는 생각에, 이번 연 축제는 오래도록 기억에 남을 것입니다.En: Realizing that even bad events can become good memories, this kite festival would remain in his memory for a long time.

Yuna asked, looking at the map.Ko: 힘든 상황이었다.En: It was a difficult situation.Ko: 그곳, 안개 낀 숲 저 끝자락 바로 이웃해 있는 위험한 경계를 넘어가야 했다.En: To find the herb, they had to cross the foggy forest's far edge, right up to the dangerous border.Ko: 고민은 깊어졌다.En: The dilemma deepened.Ko: 그러나 가족의 기대가 준을 조금씩 앞으로 밀어붙였다.En: But his family's expectations pushed Joon forward little by little.Ko: "나는 저기로 갈 거야," 준은 조용히 말했다.En: "I'm going over there," Joon said quietly.Ko: 그의 얼굴엔 결의가 엿보였다.En: There was determination on his face.Ko: 민서와 유나는 걱정되는 눈빛으로 바라보았다.En: Minseo and Yuna looked at him with worried eyes.Ko: 그러나 그들은 준의 결정을 존중했다.En: However, they respected Joon's decision.Ko: 숲은 점점 짙어졌다.En: The forest grew denser.Ko: 드디어, 준은 찾고 있던 약초를 발견했다.En: Finally, Joon found the herb he was seeking.Ko: 그것은 빛나는 듯 피어 있는 작은 꽃이었다.En: It was a small flower that seemed to shine as it bloomed.Ko: 바로 그 순간, 멀리서 군인의 발소리가 들려왔다.En: At that moment, the sound of soldiers' footsteps could be heard in the distance.Ko: 준은 심장이 뛰기 시작했다.En: Joon's heart began to race.Ko: 돌아갈 시간이 없다.En: There was no time to return.Ko: 급하게 달려오는 다른 소리.En: A different sound was rapidly approaching.Ko: 준은 망설이지 않고 약초를 손에 넣고 서둘러 달리기 시작했다.En: Without hesitation, Joon grabbed the herb and started to run.Ko: 숲의 나뭇가지가 그의 옷을 잡아당겼지만, 멈추지 않았다.En: The branches of the trees tugged at his clothes, but he did not stop.Ko: 민서와 유나도 함께 달렸다.En: Minseo and Yuna were running with him.Ko: 그들은 결국 안전하게 숲을 빠져나왔다.En: They eventually made it out of the forest safely.Ko: 비록 심장은 여전히 빠르게 뛰었지만, 준은 미소를 지었다.En: Although his heart was still pounding, Joon smiled.Ko: 그는 할 수 있었다.En: He had done it.Ko: 목표를 이뤘다.En: He had achieved his goal.Ko: 친구들이 그의 곁에 있어 고마웠다.En: He felt grateful to have his friends by his side.Ko: 준은 비로소 자신감과 가족의 전통을 지킬 힘을 갖게 되었다고 느꼈다.En: Joon finally felt he had gained the confidence and strength to uphold his family's tradition.Ko: 예쁜 초록 잎 사이로 봄의 바람이 불어왔다.En: The spring breeze blew through the pretty green leaves.Ko: 준의 손엔 그 드문 약초가 있었다.En: Joon held the rare herb in his hand.Ko: 가족의 기대를 충족시킬 수 있다는 믿음도 함께였다.En: Along with it came the belief that he could meet his family's expectations.Ko: 이제 그는 다르다.En: Now, he was different.Ko: 숲은 이제 그에게 새로운 의미와 가능성으로 다가왔다.En: To him, the forest now approached with new meanings and possibilities.

Mickey acepta un trabajo sin leer la letra chica del contrato, que lo condena a morir una y otra vez como parte de un sinfín de experimentos y tareas para conquistar nuevos mundos. Basado en la novela de Edward Ashton, el nuevo largometraje del surcoreano Bong Joon-ho llega cinco años después de su gran triunfo en los Oscar, con Robert Pattinson liderando un elenco de reconocidos actores de Hollywood. Ya disponible en salas de cine.

Il 6 marzo uscirà in Italia "Mickey 17", l'ultima opera di Bong Joon-ho, uno dei più importanti autori sudcoreani della Storia del Cinema contemporaneo. La sua filmografia è una miscela straordinaria di forma, contenuto, autorialità e industria e, con pochissimi compromessi, è sempre riuscito ad ampliare il proprio discorso, spesso sfociando in una feroce critica alla società e al sistema capitalista attraverso la lotta di classe.Per arrivare il più preparati possibile a "Mickey 17", abbiamo ripercorso "Snowpiercer" e "Okja", i due film che presentano maggiori punti in comune con questa nuova opera, sia dal punto di vista del genere e della forma, sia sotto l'aspetto produttivo. Due film imprescindibili per qualunque amante del Cinema.Con Federico Allocca e Simone CortiRiprese Gianlorenzo Bernabò Di NegroMusica DEMONA alias Andrea Evangelista e Delio GallmannAnimazione sigla Ida CortiLogo design Chiara QuagliarellaPost-produzione audio Matteo FusiCon il sostegno di Associazione La Terza Via, GYBE Studio e SidereusUn grazie a Raffaele Allocca, Elisabetta Marrocco, Riccardo Romano, Andrea Sestu

In the second part of Joon-Young's #sojusessions we discuss alternate things for expats to do (not just go drinking in Itaewon or Hongdae), the differences between the mentality of Koreans in small-town Korea (Cheongju) and Seoul, Koreans persistently comparing themselves to one another, and Koreaboos searching for oppa.We also get into Korea's collective society system, Asian fear of the dreaded Westerner, the future of Joon-Young's Mad Korean Class, as well as some solid advice for learning Korean.

Is it possible to learn more about this place?" Joon asked cautiously.Ko: 아름은 결심했다. "물론이죠. 저는 아름이에요. 이곳에는 오래된 전설도 있어요. 한번 들어보실래요?"En: Areum made a decision. "Of course. I'm Areum. There's an old legend here, would you like to hear it?"Ko: 그들은 함께 유적지를 돌아다니며 아름이 들려주는 이야기를 듣게 되었다.En: They walked through the ruins together, listening to the stories Areum shared.Ko: "이곳은 사랑과 운명의 전설이 있는 곳이에요. 옛사람들은 여기서 그들의 인연을 찾았다고 해요." 아름의 이야기는 단순한 정보 전달이 아니었다.En: "This place is steeped in legends of love and destiny. People in the past found their connections here," Areum's narrative went beyond simple information.Ko: 그녀의 목소리에는 감정이 깃들어 있었다.En: Her voice was filled with emotion.Ko: 준은 그 이야기에 깊이 감명받았다.En: Joon was deeply moved by the story.Ko: 그는 자신이 이곳에 왜 오게 되었는지, 이 순간 알아차릴 수 있었다.En: In that moment, he realized why he had come to this place.Ko: 준은 아름에게 말했다. "사실 저는 제 문화와 유산에 대해 잘 몰라서 여기에 왔어요. 제가 누구인가를 찾고 싶었어요."En: Joon told Areum, "Actually, I came here because I don't know much about my culture and heritage. I wanted to discover who I am."Ko: 아름은 미소를 지었다. "저도 새로운 영감을 원했어요. 당신과 함께 이곳을 돌아다니면서 많은 것을 느꼈어요. 함께 이곳을 탐험하며 새로운 의미를 찾았어요."En: Areum smiled. "I also wanted new inspiration.

  Matilda Joon      Dominique Stringfellow   In this cuntroversial episode we feature the dynamic poetry of Matilda Joon, and an in depth conversation between Lydia and Dominique Stringfellow concerning the need for female empowerment to replace the ever present imbalance in sexual relationships which have spiraled out of control.

Pizza toppings are going way beyond the usual these days. Pat and Bret discussed that trend, leading off with all the appetizer-inspired pizzas we've seen lately. Jalapeño poppers, a nostalgic bar food, are back as pizza toppers at &pizza and Your Pie, plus Your Pie has another LTO pizza topped with spinach-artichoke dip.  Bret came across Chicken Tikka Pizzas at several Indian concepts in California during a recent trip. And this week, Via 313, a Detroit-style pizza chain, introduced tikka masala pizza, which has masala curry sauce, marinated chicken, cheese, onions and peppers. Aside from pizza, beef, especially steak, is showing up in limited-time offers—and it usually performs very well. Noodles & Company brought back its Steak Stroganoff, a comforting dish with marinated steak in a mushroom sherry cream sauce served over egg noodles. It's been the fast casual's top selling LTO, and winter is a logical time to bring it back. Dig also introduced steak recently, a char-grilled sirloin featured in dinner plates and bowls. To wrap up, we shared an interview with Chris Morgan, who along with his partners Reza Farahani and Iranian cookbook author Najmieh Batmanglij, operate Persian restaurant Joon in the Washington, D.C. metro area. Chef Morgan talks about how many popular Middle Eastern dishes trace their origins to Iran, and Joon's menu includes specialties from other cuisines, including Levantine. The menu also reflects his experience working in California restaurants and is inspired by the ingredients Joon sources from an organic farm in Maryland. Give a listen.

In this powerful message, Pastor Joon explores the transformative power of decisions that are led by God, reminding us that every choice we make shapes our walk with Him. He challenges us to stay focused on His guidance, trusting that when we prioritize His will, our lives will glorify Him and reflect His purpose. Thank you for enjoying this life changing message from Radiant Church. We pray this moves you closer to Christ and encourages you. For more life changing resources, visit us at www.weareradiant.com.

Constant documentation can strain parent-child relationships. It's hard to protect children's identities online. Sharing can help connect with family and friends. Moderation is key in sharing children's lives. Monetizing children can be exploitative if done for financial need. Finding a balance in sharing is essential.

"The humans are going to be empowered to become superheroes like Tony Stark, and because you have your loyal A.I. assistant, Jarvis, doing all this stuff in the background, that's the example I always use when I give lectures on this topic. What ends up happening is that you need to make sure you can use A.I. correctly. If you offload too much, offload inappropriately, or become too dependent on AI for tasks where you shouldn't be dependent, then suddenly, you're no longer Tony Stark. You're one of those fat human descendants in Wall-E. The ones who can't even get back in their own chairs because they've forgotten how to walk, they've forgotten how to think, they're being fed a steady diet of soda pop from AI." - Joon Nak Choi Fresh out of the studio, Bernard Leong sits down with Joon Nak Choi, an Adjunct Associate Professor at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and founder of Learnovate, to dive deep into the future of education and AI.

They explore the rising cost of college, the value of a college degree, and the flaws in the current education system.

With a keen interest in the intersection of technology, innovation, and human behavior, Eric brings a unique and valuable perspective to every conversation. Thanks for watching! Takeaways: The cost of college has been increasing at an exponential rate, making it a financial burden for many families. The value of a college degree is subjective and depends on individual circumstances and career goals. The current education system is flawed and not data-driven, leading to outdated curriculum and irrelevant skills. Parents should prepare their children for multiple scenarios and help them make informed decisions about their education. Alternative paths, such as vocational schools or entrepreneurship, can provide valuable skills and financial stability. The perception of college as a default option needs to be challenged, and the focus should be on what makes individuals happy and successful.

Joon is a hospital chaplain, author, but perhaps most importantly — a father. A fellow Korean American, we share and understand a lot of each other's experiences growing up with immigrant parents, in the ever liminal third space between cultures and identities. We talk about the contradictions of our culture, with a history of aligning with the oppressed amidst the continued toxic elements of collectivism such as overbearing authority.  I want to offer a trigger warning for this episode as we talk openly about mental illness including PTSD as well as abuse. We share some painful memories and Joon expresses that it is hard for someone with PTSD to give into joy, and in these moments of the conversation, there is gratitude in having survived and in breaking the cycle alongside all the heartache we continue to hold and live with. I believe in the healing power of connection and in saying out loud what happened to you. We talk about these serious issues with compassion and understanding, and I deeply hope that this episode will help others.Joon's book — As Long As You Need — is about grief, something we all experience, perhaps never more so consistently and collectively than over these last 10 months. He talks about the dehumanizing impact of oppressors hijacking the grief of the oppressed and the important role of grief in our liberation.  Joon's IG Leah's IG

Lastly, he shares advice for someone who is struggling, emphasizing the need to sacrifice, live in the moment, and adapt to the environment. Takeaways Transitioning from college to married life and parenthood can be challenging, but building a strong friendship and support system can help navigate the changes. The desire to be a parent and the experience of seeing friends get married and divorced can shape one's perspective on marriage and family. The transition from zero to one child and adding a second child can bring financial challenges and put strain on the relationship, but open communication and shared responsibilities can help navigate these challenges. Postpartum depression and anxiety can have a significant impact on both parents, and it is important to seek support and understanding from each other. Experiencing a traumatic event can have long-lasting effects on mental health, and it is crucial to prioritize safety and take necessary precautions to protect oneself and one's family. Adapting to a changing world requires retraining the mind to understand the differences in resources and opportunities. Finding grounding and support from loved ones can help navigate through difficult times. Sacrifice, living in the moment, and adapting to the environment are key to overcoming challenges. Offering support and advice to others can make a positive impact on their lives.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! After several months in Seoul, Nate finally reaches the point where Korean kaiju cinema comes into its own: Bong Joon-ho's The Host (2006). He's joined by YouTuber and author Omni Viewer and his "kaiju" sidekick, Snazzy Chapeau, to discuss this momentous film. While it arguably has more in common with Jaws than Godzilla (1954), its effect on Korean culture was as significant as the latter was for Japan and King Kong (1933) was for America. It was inspired by a uniquely Korean issue/experience and catapulted Korean culture and Joon-ho onto the world scene. Speaking of which, the Toku Topic is the true story that is recreated and dramatized in the film: the McFarland Incident. Also, there are periodic reports from Sir Adam Lexington, a friend of Omni's, as he repairs Uber-Moguera. Read Jimmy's Notes on this episode on the MIFV website!

If you love, you experience loss. Looking back over the last few years, who or what have you lost? A loved one, a friendship, a relationship, a pet, a job, your health, your community? Something else? Have you had time to reflect on and grieve your losses and find meaning and sense in all you experienced? And how do you talk about your losses with those around you, if at all?We cannot engineer the experience of grief out of our lives, but many try, at a significant cost, to their well-being, their relationships, and their ability to function, connect, and lead.Grief will always do its job regardless of our response to grief's presence. And the more we try to avoid the heartbreak, mess, awkwardness, outrage, and vulnerability, the more we disconnect from our humanity and those around us.  So, the question for us is: How will we respond when grief comes knocking in our personal lives, work, and world? Joon ‘J.S.' Park is a hospital chaplain, former atheist/agnostic, sixth-degree black belt, suicide survivor, and Korean-American, a person of faith and valuer of all. He is the author of As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve, part hospital chaplain experience and memoir, and The Voices We Carry: Finding Your One True Voice in a World of Clamor and Noise.J.S. currently serves at a top-ranked, 1,000+ bed hospital and was a chaplain for three years at one of the largest nonprofit charities for the unhoused on the East Coast.Content note: This conversation covers topics around sexual abuse, suicide, and experiences of racism. Joon's message and heart feel healing and gracious as he shares some tender issues. But please take care of yourself as you move through this beautiful conversation.Listen to the full episode to hear:The physical toll of unacknowledged accumulated grief that J.S. took on through his chaplaincy trainingHow contending with pervasive and severe suffering daily challenged and reshaped J.S.'s faithHow he began to grapple with his experiences of abuse, racism and internalized shameWhy we need to learn to engage with a range of grief and validate our responses to it to healWhat we can learn about others when they use clichés and platitudes in response to griefHow working closely with grief has changed J.S.'s concept of what it means to be successful Learn more about J.S.

My guest today J.S. (Joon) Park is a hospital chaplain. Some of the other descriptions he uses for himself include: former atheist/agnostic, sixth degree black belt, suicide survivor, Korean-American, and follower of Christ. He is the author of a profoundly insightful, and at times poetic new book, As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve. It's part hospital chaplain experience and part memoir.In this episode, Joon shares a bit about his personal journey from growing up in a home with violence and a martial arts dojo to becoming a hospital chaplain, highlighting the similarities between the two roles in terms of being present and encouraging others to find their voice. We also discussed the importance of allowing individuals to talk about their hopes and dreams, even in the face of loss or adversity. Joon shared how he creates safe space where people can share their desires without feeling shame or judgment. One of the important themes Joon brings to light is the grief we often feel over future losses and the significance of giving oneself permission to grieve them.The conversation also touches on the idea relocating hope, of staying close to one's dreams and finding new ways to honor them, even if the original path is no longer possible. We also explored the importance of self-care and pacing oneself in the work of caregiving, recognizing the need for rest and support. One of the many important reminders I learned from both his book and our conversation is recognizing loss of autonomy and the value of finding the smallest choices and moments. Joon's vulnerability, wisdom, and heart shine through both in his book and in our conversation.About the Guest & Resources J.S. Park is a hospital chaplain, published author, and online educator. For eight years he has been an interfaith chaplain at a 1000+ bed hospital that is designated a Level 1 Trauma Center.
