Survivor 51 Trailer Breakdown Get ready for a wild new chapter as Survivor enters its Open era with Season 51! Rob Cesternino returns to break down the highly anticipated Survivor 51 trailer, sharing his frame-by-frame analysis and theories about how this season will shake up the game like never before. As castaways storm the beach without buffs and chaos rules from the very start, Rob investigates the Jurassic Park-inspired vibe and wonders how permanent uncertainty will test both players and viewers. Rob dives into the key moments from the trailer, starting with Jeff Probst's proclamation that “every advantage, every idol, every twist we've ever done—50 seasons of Survivor—is in play.” With helicopters landing unexpectedly and contestants tossing around words like “chaos” and “shape shifting game,” Rob questions how strategy can survive when the rules shift beneath the players' feet. He discusses the marooning return, the possibility of tribe pick or draft at the outset, and teases new personalities like Brady, Kilby, and Linnae, whose “poop positive” confessional already sets a memorable tone. – Survivor's Open era signals no boundaries: any twist from the past can reappear without warning – Trailer hints at a chaotic season start with a marooning, missing buffs, and a massive scramble for supplies – The introduction of 21 players, potential tribe shake-ups, and the mystery of the helicopter's arrival – Contestant confessionals highlight the looming unpredictability, with references to chaos theory and shape-shifting gameplay – Rob questions whether too much randomness could undermine strategic play, drawing parallels to past “new era” uncertainty As Survivor 51's Open era throws everything into the mix, Rob wonders if anyone can truly plan ahead or if the game will reward pure adaptability. Will players find a way to thrive in a season where Jurassic-sized twists lurk around every corner?

John Williams has written some of the most famous film scores ever, from Star Wars to Indiana Jones to Jurassic Park. But before the blockbuster success, there was a kid growing up around jazz musicians in New York, and a young composer trying to find his voice. In this episode, journalist Tim Greiving takes us through John's early life and career, from his years as a session player to the meeting with Steven Spielberg that changed everything. Along the way, we unpack the stories behind John's early iconic scores, including the two-note terror of Jaws, the symphonic world of Star Wars, and the mysteries of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Did an administrative assistant really pinpoint the exact coordinate location of a downed Soviet bomber lost in a dense African jungle using nothing but a map and a pen? This week we're covering the incredible history of Remote Viewing, a highly structured psychic protocol that the US government spent decades—and millions of dollars—funding. How did Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton use psychic grid-mapping to locate a 19th-century shipwreck on his very first dive? We explore the Cold War's wildest "Eight Martini Results," debate whether the human mind is just a radio antenna picking up signals across space and time, and question if we're all cheating ourselves out of finding hidden treasure.

Michael Crichton movies were huge in the 90's. He was a lawyer who had also gone to medical school. His biggest project might be Jurassic Park.

In this episode I chat with visual effects supervisor, second unit director and digital pre-visualisation pioneer David Dozoretz about a career that traces the entire arc of how modern filmmaking shifted from analogue to digital — and how, somewhere in the middle of that shift, pre-vis went from a curious side experiment to a fundamental part of how films get planned and shot. David talks about growing up in Phoenix, falling in love with cinema the day his sister snuck him into the projection booth at the Cine Capri during The Empire Strikes Back asteroid sequence, and how a chance encounter with a Lucasfilm coffee-table book in a university bookstore set him on the path to ILM. He arrived at ILM in 1991 as an intern, became known as "the computer nerd in the art department and the art nerd in the computer department," and ended up bridging the gap between the two as digital began to take over.We get into his first feature — the original Jurassic Park — his year-long apprenticeship in the legendary ILM art department alongside Doug Chiang, Ty Ellingson, Harley Jessup, Mark Moore and Stefan Dechant, and the time he had to split a $1,400 piece of 3D software into two $700 purchase orders to get round ILM's general-manager sign-off threshold. It's a small story but it tells you everything about the era — digital tools were arriving faster than the institutions running things knew what to do with them.A big part of the conversation focuses on the early years of digital pre-visualisation. David did the first major digital previs sequence in mainstream cinema — the train and helicopter sequence in Brian De Palma's Mission: Impossible, the work John Knoll asked him to do that's now credited as one of the reasons the sequence got greenlit. From there he went on to spend four years working with George Lucas on The Phantom Menace, building the entire pod race in previs (a 25-minute version that almost no one has ever seen got whittled down to the 9-and-a-half-minute final), establishing his now-famous three rules of previs (no textures, no motion blur, no shadows) and then immediately having to break all three of them to convey the sense of speed and floating in the pod race itself.There are some lovely George Lucas stories too, including the time George walked into the editing room and reacted to David's droid-factory post-vis with "honestly, I was a little worried about that one — looks like it's gonna work," and the moment when George trailed off mid-sentence trying to describe a desert landscape and David — a 21-year-old kid — finished the thought with "John Ford?", which David thinks is the moment Lucas decided he could trust him. Later in the conversation we move into David's own company, Persistence of Vision, and his work on Titan A.E., Behind Enemy Lines, JJ Abrams' Mission: Impossible III, the 2009 Star Trek reboot (including the previs realisation that Vulcan being orange meant the costumes — originally designed to evoke 70s NASA — had to be completely redesigned) and Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, where David served as second unit director on the first digital stereoscopic film and the production was effectively beta-testing the cameras Jim Cameron was building for Avatar. We finish on Zafari, David's 52-episode children's animated series rendered almost entirely in Unreal Engine — one of the earliest large-scale uses of real-time rendering in mainstream animation, which saved 30% of the production budget — and on a wider conversation about AI, the future of filmmaking, the importance of human authenticity, and David's lovely closing thought: study the art and history of cinema, study the drawing, not just the pencil. The tools will keep changing. The language won't. Topics coveredGrowing up in Phoenix and the Cine Capri projection-booth moment during EmpireDiscovering The Art of Special Effects book and the road to an ILM internshipJoining the ILM art department in 1991 alongside Doug Chiang, Ty Ellingson, Harley Jessup and Mark MooreBridging the art and computer departments as digital arrived at ILMThe $1,400 / two-$700-purchase-orders workaround for buying 3D softwareWorking on the original Jurassic Park as his first featureDoing previs for the Star Wars Special Editions (the dewback shots, Mos Eisley fly-bys)John Knoll asking him to previsualise the train-and-helicopter sequence on Mission: ImpossibleHow that previs is credited as one of the reasons the sequence got greenlitJoining the new Skywalker Ranch art department under George LucasFour years on The Phantom Menace and the 25-minute version of the pod raceThe three rules of previs (no textures, no motion blur, no shadows) — and breaking all of them to make the pod race workGeorge Lucas reacting to the droid factory post-vis ("looks like it's gonna work")The Jake Lloyd head-turn morph that saved a reshootWhy pod racers go 500 mph in some shots and 2,000 mph in othersThe cinematographer who declared previs "shit" — and was overruled by the studioFounding Persistence of Vision and the move from Lucas to wider HollywoodTitan A.E. and the Don Bluth / Gary Goldman Phoenix animation studioBehind Enemy Lines and pre-vising aerial actionMission: Impossible III with JJ Abrams — the Shanghai building swing and the windmill helicopter sequenceThe Star Trek reboot orbital skydive — and how previs forced a costume redesign because Vulcan was orangeJourney to the Center of the Earth 3D as second unit director, using Jim Cameron's pre-Avatar camerasZafari, Unreal Engine, and saving 30% of an animated TV budget through real-time renderingThe shift from analogue to digital to 3D to real-time to AI — and what stays constantDennis Muren's wisdom on authenticity at the Jurassic Park wrap partyWhy a human premium will remain in an AI-augmented filmmaking worldGeorge Lucas, John Ford and the moment a 21-year-old earned a director's trustThe advice David gives to young filmmakers: study the drawing, not just the pencilSupport the Podcast This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

In this short discussion, palaeontologist Dave Hone and Iszi Lawrence chat with podcaster Suzy Buttress about the strangeness of bird eyes... from iris colour and pupil shape, to owls, crocodiles and the frustrating problem of soft tissue in fossils. Could dinosaurs really have had the slit pupils made famous by Jurassic Park? Or have we been picturing dinosaur eyes all wrong? Expect: birds, dinosaurs, crocodiles, giant marine reptile eyeballs, weird owl anatomy, and some surprisingly unsettling turkey dissection stories.

From Ghostbusters to Will & Grace, One Day at a Time to Jurassic Park, the past decade has seen Hollywood reach a new peak in its obsession with reboots, remakes, and revivals. Spearheaded by media giants like Disney and Netflix, these projects promise progress—more diverse casts, “timely” social commentary, and redemptive nostalgia—yet they often reproduce the very inequalities they claim to address.Rebooting Inequality: Critical Takes on Film and Television Remakes (NYU Press, 2026) brings together twelve concise, theoretically rich essays that interrogate how Hollywood's recycling of intellectual property sustains entrenched systems of racial, gender, and sexual inequality. Across genres and platforms, contributors explore how the industry's nostalgic return to familiar stories masks an ongoing reliance on white, patriarchal, and heteronormative frameworks of storytelling and production.Blending critical race, feminist, and media studies, the collection analyzes dozens of recent film and television revivals, remakes, and reboots from Roseanne to Charlie's Angels to ask what it means when entertainment markets strive for diversity while leaving the structures of inequality intact.Accessible yet deeply analytical, Rebooting Inequality exposes how nostalgia has become both a marketing strategy and a political tool, revealing how the “new” Hollywood continues to reanimate the past—profitably, repeatedly, and unequally.

Hour 1 opens with Marc previewing a major Missouri Right to Life event featuring Riley Gaines before diving into Donald Trump's dominant primary-night victories, including the defeat of Thomas Massie and growing pressure on Republican holdouts across Georgia, Texas, and North Carolina. The hour heavily focuses on Trump's White House ballroom project and a fiery defense of his leadership style, followed by an explosive conversation about a massive IRS settlement tied to leaked Trump tax returns and whether January 6 defendants unfairly targeted by the federal government deserve compensation. Kim's “On a Whim” segment then shifts the show into sci-fi territory with a debate over Colossal Biosciences hatching chicks in artificial eggs and the frightening possibility of resurrecting extinct species straight out of Jurassic Park. The hour closes with reaction to the San Diego mosque shooting as Marc and Kim challenge early media narratives about the attackers while arguing the real lesson is the life-saving importance of armed security officers protecting schools and religious institutions.

Kim's “On a Whim” segment dives into the bizarre and unsettling world of de-extinction science after Texas-based Colossal Biosciences successfully hatches live chicks using artificial eggs lined with bioengineered membranes. The crew debates whether technology designed to revive extinct species like the dodo bird, giant moa, woolly mammoth, and potentially even dinosaurs is scientific progress or reckless “playing God,” repeatedly comparing the concept to the disaster scenarios of Jurassic Park. Kim questions the ethics and practical value of resurrecting extinct creatures simply because science now makes it possible, while Marc argues there may be a stronger case for restoring species humans hunted to extinction. The conversation spirals into jokes about pet velociraptors, T-Rexes roaming neighborhoods, exotic animal ownership gone wrong, and the terrifying possibility that humanity is walking directly into its own sci-fi warning label.

From Ghostbusters to Will & Grace, One Day at a Time to Jurassic Park, the past decade has seen Hollywood reach a new peak in its obsession with reboots, remakes, and revivals. Spearheaded by media giants like Disney and Netflix, these projects promise progress—more diverse casts, “timely” social commentary, and redemptive nostalgia—yet they often reproduce the very inequalities they claim to address.Rebooting Inequality: Critical Takes on Film and Television Remakes (NYU Press, 2026) brings together twelve concise, theoretically rich essays that interrogate how Hollywood's recycling of intellectual property sustains entrenched systems of racial, gender, and sexual inequality. Across genres and platforms, contributors explore how the industry's nostalgic return to familiar stories masks an ongoing reliance on white, patriarchal, and heteronormative frameworks of storytelling and production.Blending critical race, feminist, and media studies, the collection analyzes dozens of recent film and television revivals, remakes, and reboots from Roseanne to Charlie's Angels to ask what it means when entertainment markets strive for diversity while leaving the structures of inequality intact.Accessible yet deeply analytical, Rebooting Inequality exposes how nostalgia has become both a marketing strategy and a political tool, revealing how the “new” Hollywood continues to reanimate the past—profitably, repeatedly, and unequally.

Genom att kartlägga svenska fossil så bygger Vivi Vajda upp hur ekosystemen såg ut i Sverige, tex under perioden Jura. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Programmet sändes första gången i april 2026. Det är kanske svårt att tänka sig men för cirka 100 miljoner år sedan så vandrade det omkring dinosaurier på den geografiska plats som vi i dag kallar för Sverige. Då var södra Sverige täckt av ett tropiskt hav där det simmade hajar, krokodiler och mosasaurer - en havslevande rovödla med ett enormt gap och en ormliknande kropp - och på land växte det stora barrträd och ormbunkar.Genom att lägga ett pussel av fossiler så har paleontologi-professorn Vivi Vajda, på Naturhistoriska riksmuséet, tillsammans med flera andra forskare lyckats få fram urtida ekosystem från perioder som Krita, Jura och Trias. Något som de har låtit illustrera i boken Sveriges geologi - en resa i tid och rum.Vivi Vajda förklarar hur ett pollen-korn från en urtida växt kan berätta historien om Sveriges "Jurassic Park".Reporter: Joacim Lindwalljoacim.lindwall@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

This exciting update comes on the heels of Daredevil: Born Again's Season 2 finale and the release of the Punisher special presentation; with all eyes on the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day and, of course, Avengers: Doomsday,Disney's Tuesday presentation also shed some light on Lucasfilm's streaming future with Ahsoka Season 2 promised for an early 2027 release window on Disney Plus, more than 3 years after Season 1 streamed in 2023.

Mottola is no stranger to the DCU or James Gunn, having directed episodes of Peacemaker. While DC has yet to comment, Moon Knight writer Matthew Orton reportedly wrote the initial screenplay for the villain duo team-up and is set to do a rewrite if Mottola does end up being the choice. In other DCU news, Friday Night Lights actor Sinqua Walls has joined the cast of Man of Tomorrow in an undisclosed role. Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy is now attached to direct an original sci fi film written by Max Taxe titled Somewhere Out There for Netflix. New release Mortal Kombat 2 came in third place at the box office this weekend, behind The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Michael.

Deadline hears Koepp will revisit Westworld, the 1973 film written and directed by Crichton. A major unnamed director is also circling the project for Warner Brothers.

Play audio-only episode | Play on YouTube | Play on Spotify Episode Summary Project managers often joke that their projects feel like a movie. In this conversation, that idea becomes the central theme as Cornelius Fichtner welcomes Dawn Mahan and Jerry Manas to discuss their book Projectland Goes to the Movies. Together, they examine how famous films reflect real project management challenges involving leadership, teamwork, risk, stakeholder management, planning, and adaptation under pressure. From Apollo 13 and The Martian to Jurassic Park, Twelve Angry Men, and Ocean's Eleven, the discussion highlights how storytelling creates memorable examples of project leadership in action. The guests explain why movies resonate so strongly with project managers, how fictional situations often mirror real workplace dynamics, and why stories stick with people more effectively than abstract theory. The conversation also connects several examples back to practical project management concepts such as servant leadership, agile adaptation, collaborative problem-solving, stakeholder influence, and the importance of remaining calm during uncertainty.

What happens when a video game stops playing by the rules? Doug and returning guest Noah (Gunchpot) go deep on the most creative, bizarre, and genuinely brilliant video game mechanics ever designed — from games that fake-crash your console to math games that secretly turn into space jail simulators. Games covered include Shenmue (the 1999 Dreamcast game that made boredom part of the experience by giving you an actual forklift job), Seaman (raise a fish with a human face that insults you, narrated by Leonard Nimoy), Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (the GameCube horror game that fake-deleted your save file and muted your TV on purpose), Metal Gear Solid (Psycho Mantis reads your memory card and comments on your other games), Facade (a 2005 AI couples therapy simulator where typing the word "melon" gets you thrown out of the apartment), Frog Fractions (a browser math game that secretly turns into a completely different game — then hid its sequel inside an entirely separate game for years), Doki Doki Literature Club (the anime dating sim that deletes characters from your hard drive as part of its horror), Disco Elysium (where your skills literally argue with you and you can fail a check just trying to get out of bed), and WarioWare (five-second micro games with one-word instructions and zero hand-holding). Plus: QWOP, Baby Steps, Superhot VR, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, I Am Bread, and more. Before all that: Noah is working through 800 of 1,000 movies on his Letterboxd watchlist, watched Ghostbusters and Jurassic Park for the first time this year, and is deep in the David Lynch rabbit hole. Doug's dog Bruno had a very eventful Mother's Day morning involving a rabbit, a shovel, and a crow. Then it's time for The Verdict — the Letterboxd review guessing game. This round covers The Mummy, Devil Wears Prada 2, Nosferatu, Longlegs, Conclave, Barbie, Glass Onion, and Andor. This week's recommendations: Noah: Casino Royale. One of the best action films ever made, full stop. Doug: Potion Seller's debut album Buzzard is out now. Go listen.

铁路、钢铁、石油 —— 150年前，一批工业大亨用这些东西重塑了美国。今天，换成了算法、平台和 AI，历史的剧情，是否真的在重演？ 19 世纪末，跨大陆铁路的出现彻底改变了美国：统一的市场、标准时区、现代公司制度、金融市场的崛起，还有财富向少数人的剧烈集中。那是一个被称为「镀金时代」的年代 —— 表面金光闪闪，内里却也有赤裸裸的政商勾连、劳工剥削，以及一场迟来的社会反弹。它最终推动了反垄断立法、参议员直选，乃至整个现代民主制度的修正。 这一期节目，我们邀请到老朋友马啸老师返场，从铁路出发，聊一聊镀金时代究竟发生了什么，那段历史与今天的 AI 时代有哪些惊人的相似，又在哪里出现了新的变量。 本期人物 马啸，北京大学政府管理学院长聘副教授、博士生导师 徐涛，声动活泼联合创始人 主要话题 [08:03] 铁路如何重塑美国：从标准时区的发明到现代公司制度的诞生 [18:09] 政府赠地、土地财政与一哄而上的铁路泡沫 [23:04] 由铁路拉来的新国家想象与民族自豪感 [33:48] 铁路公司为什么要雇佣西点军校的毕业生 [39:28] 美国的早期游说：铁路大亨如何用免费乘车券贿赂政治家 [45:57] 扒粪运动与制度反弹：镀金时代后期美国的渐进式改革 [54:46] 从铁路大亨到硅谷巨头，历史正在再一次重演吗 延伸阅读 Richard White 的相关文章： 《The Gilded Age holds lessons for today, says Richard White》 《If 19th-century plutocrats are dinosaurs, we're now in Jurassic Park》 康内留斯·范德比尔特（Cornelius Vanderbilt，1794—1877） 一位出身纽约、有着荷兰血统的工业家、慈善家，他依靠内陆水运贸易致富，并逐步取得优势地位，随后大力投资美国快速发展的铁路产业，进而显著改变了美国的地理格局。范德比尔特是美国镀金时代工商业狂飙突进的象征，同时也常被描绘为「强盗男爵」的代表人物。 科利斯·波特·亨廷顿（Collis Potter Huntington ，1821－1900） 一位美国实业家和铁路大亨。他是西部铁路四大巨头之一，他们投资了西奥多·朱达的构想，修建了中央太平洋铁路 ，这是美国第一条横贯大陆铁路的一部分。 卡耐基（Andrew Carnegie，1835-1919） 苏格兰裔美国钢铁大亨，镀金时代最具代表性的财富人物之一。他创建的卡耐基钢铁公司垄断了美国钢铁市场，后以约 4.8 亿美元出售给 JP 摩根，成为当时历史上最大的商业交易。晚年将大部分财富捐出，资助兴建了遍布全美的公共图书馆和卡耐基音乐厅，提出「在巨富中死去是一种耻辱」的著名论断。 洛克菲勒（John D. Rockefeller，1839-1937） 美国石油大亨，标准石油公司创始人。通过垄断炼油、管道和铁路运输，一度控制美国 90%以上的石油市场。1911年，标准石油公司被美国最高法院以违反反垄断法为由强制拆分，成为美国反垄断历史上的标志性案例。他也是现代慈善事业的奠基人之一，创立了洛克菲勒基金会。 马克斯·韦伯（Max Weber，1864-1920） 德国社会学家，现代社会科学的奠基人之一。他提出的「官僚制」概念，描述了以专业分工、层级管理、规章流程为核心的现代组织形态——而铁路公司正是他眼中这种理性化官僚制的最佳范本。他的思想至今仍是理解现代国家与企业组织的重要框架。 镀金时代（Gilded Age） 指美国内战结束后约1870至1890年代的历史时期，由作家马克·吐温命名。「镀金」暗指这个时代表面光鲜，内里问题重重——工业化与铁路扩张带来了空前的财富积累，却也伴随着严重的贫富分化、政商勾连与劳工剥削。这一时期美国超越欧洲成为世界第一大经济体，也为此后的反垄断运动和制度改革埋下了伏笔。 太平洋铁路法案（Pacific Railway Act，1862） 美国内战期间由林肯总统签署的联邦立法，授权修建横贯北美大陆的跨洲铁路，并向铁路公司提供大规模土地赠送和政府债券担保。这部法案正式开启了美国西部大开发的序幕，也催生了镀金时代的铁路热潮与随之而来的金融泡沫。 扒粪运动（Muckraking） 19世纪末20世纪初兴起于美国的调查性新闻运动。一批记者和作家通过深度报道，揭露铁路大亨、石油巨头对政治的操控以及恶劣的劳工条件，引发广泛的社会反响。这场运动直接推动了多项重要改革立法，也奠定了现代调查新闻学的传统。「扒粪」一词来自西奥多·罗斯福总统对这批记者的戏称。 托拉斯（Trust） 镀金时代企业垄断的核心组织形式。由于当时美国各州法律限制外州公司在本州经营，铁路和石油公司发展出「信托」这一法律结构——将不同州的公司股权集中交由同一批受托人控制，从而绕开州际限制实现跨地域垄断。托拉斯的泛滥最终引发了公众对垄断的强烈反弹，推动了1890年《谢尔曼反垄断法》的出台，也是今天「反垄断」概念的历史起点。 给声东击西投稿 声东击西正在密切关注中东战局及其带来的影响，所以如果你所在的行业或公司，正在受到霍尔木兹海峡封锁的影响，欢迎向我们投稿，你的声音对我们非常重要。 投稿入口 你也可以直接通过邮箱直接联系节目组：kexuan@shengfm.cn 「Knock Knock 世界」 小白鼠、猴子......曾经必做的动物实验，在发生哪些变化？https://sourl.co/sTmsee 在「Knock Knock 世界」里，听到全球新鲜事，还能成为「全球观察员」，报选题、参加选题会。2026 年的节目正在持续更新。 加入我们 声动活泼团队目前正在招聘内容监制、商业运营经理、商业发展经理和部分实习生，如果你也对播客行业的内容制作和商务运营感兴趣，欢迎投递！ 到详情点击招聘入口：加入声动活泼（在招职位速览） 幕后制作 监制：可宣 后期：赛德 运营：George 设计：饭团 实习生：Jean 商务合作 声动活泼商业化小队，点击链接可直达商务会客厅（商务会客厅链接：https://sourl.cn/QDhnEc ），也可发送邮件至 business@shengfm.cn 联系我们。 关于声动活泼 「用声音碰撞世界」，声动活泼致力于为人们提供源源不断的思考养料。 我们还有这些播客：不止金钱、跳进兔子洞第三季、声东击西、声动早咖啡、What's Next｜科技早知道、反潮流俱乐部、泡腾 VC、商业WHY酱 欢迎在即刻、微博等社交媒体上与我们互动，搜索 声动活泼 即可找到我们。 也欢迎你写邮件和我们联系，邮箱地址是：ting@sheng.fm 获取更多和声动活泼有关的讯息，你也可以扫码添加声小音，在节目之外和我们保持联系！ Special Guest: 马啸.

Is our digital legacy the final frontier of storytelling?In this episode, we sit down with Miles Spencer, a serial entrepreneur, world traveler, and the founder of Reflecta AI. Spencer, who co-created the long-running PBS series Money Hunt, has dedicated his career to the power of narrative. Now, he is using artificial intelligence to bridge the gap between physical archives—like shoe boxes of old photos and letters—and a dynamic, conversational digital legacy that allows families to preserve the voices and stories of their loved ones.Beyond technology, Spencer shares insights from his global travels, including following the footsteps of T.E. Lawrence through the Middle East and mentoring entrepreneurs in Cuba. We explore the strategic importance of "gateway cities" like Havana and Damascus, the surprising similarities between cultures we often view as different, and how human decency often overrides geopolitical tensions.In this episode, we discuss:The DNA of Storytelling: How being the 23rd of 24 children in a family of Pennsylvania storytellers shaped Spencer's worldview.Reflecta AI: Creating "AI for humanity" through spontaneous and dynamic digital legacies.The Jurassic Park of Islands: Observations from mentoring technologists in Cuba during a brief window of diplomatic opening.A "Halftime" View of Syria: Experiences in Damascus between conflicts and the strategic realities of location versus resources.The Homogeneity Trap: Why the relative similarity of North American culture can make the diversity of the rest of the world feel more remote than it actually is.Send us Fan Mail Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

In this episode, I chat with creature effects artist, puppeteer and digital pioneer Craig Caton-Largent about a career that arguably traces the entire arc of modern visual effects — from foam latex and animatronics to motion control, performance capture and full CG animation. Craig talks about growing up on a sheep and cattle ranch in Washington State, being captivated by the 1960s Batman TV show and then Planet of the Apes, and teaching himself prosthetics from Dick Smith's Monster Makeup Handbook. After tracking down Dick Smith's address in Who's Who in America, he wrote a letter that led to a year of mentorship over cassette tapes and ultimately introductions to Rick Baker, Stan Winston and Tom Burman. We get into his first job on Charles Band's Metal Storm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn, working on the Olympic alien for the 1984 closing ceremonies, sculpting barnacles on Cocoon, building Spock's seamless silicone ears on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, undulating menacingly under shaving cream on Larry Cohen's The Stuff, and puppeteering Slimer's mouth on the original Ghostbusters. A big part of the conversation focuses on Jurassic Park, including the design evolution of the T-Rex, the helicopter convention moment that led to the McFadden motion base, the logistics of moving the full-size animatronic across the San Fernando Valley at night, and Craig's work as the Raptor puppeteer, including the now-legendary "head tilt" at the kitchen window that earned an on-set "It's like Alien, I love it" from Spielberg. We also talk about Craig's twenty-year stint as the caretaker, or "doctor", to the original ET puppet, including the time the LAPD turned up at his garage door thinking he was running a crack lab while he was actually repainting ET. Plus the story of how Stan Winston handing him a couple of SGI machines led, almost overnight, to him becoming one of the eight co-founders of Digital Domain alongside James Cameron and Scott Ross. Later in the conversation we move into Craig's animation career as a final layout artist and character TD at DreamWorks and Disney, with credits on Tangled, Rise of the Guardians, How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Turbo, and stories from working with Guillermo del Toro at DreamWorks. We finish on Craig's current role as Creative Director of the 3D Animation and Visual Effects department at the New York Film Academy in Burbank.
