Lambs, assemble!

David, like Jesus 1000 years later, climbs a hill weeping as he leaves Jerusalem in apparent defeat. The persons he meets on the way out. Some bless. Some curse.

Absalom in exile 3 years, then called back to Jerusalem by the king (via the woman of Tekoa and Joab). Strained relationship. Absalom has other ideas...

Date night with Silence of the Lambs got Kat wondering: who on earth inspired Buffalo Bill? Meet Gary Heidnik—the preacher-turned-predator whose North Philly cellar of horrors still haunts survivors and inspired one of Hollywood's most chilling villains. You'll definitely need a frosty beverage or maybe even some relaxing tea for this one. References:Please like, follow, and share this podcast - we're on all of the platforms!

They also debate whether the film leans more toward horror or psychological thriller, discuss the twisted serial killer inspirations behind it, and speculate on where The Black Phone 2 might take the story next.Highlights Breakdown: - The Ethan Hawke Deep-Dive: Analysing his career-resurging performance as The Grabber and how he masterfully portrays four distinct, terrifying personalities. - Mask & Lore Analysis: The significance of the four iconic masks, designed by horror legend Tom Savini, and the film's clever nods to real-life serial killers. - Genre Debate: Is The Black Phone a straight horror film, or is it more of a psychological thriller in the vein of The Silence of the Lambs? - Sequel & Preamble Speculation: Our first impressions of The Black Phone 2, why we're hesitant, and why a prequel focusing on The Grabber's origin story would have been a killer idea. - Behind The Scenes: The film's incredible box office success story, emerging right after pandemic lockdowns to earn over $160 million.If you love Blumhouse films, chilling performances, and rewatching horror with fresh eyes, this episode is for you.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

Bathsheba comforted. Solomon born. Tamar violated. Amnon murdered. The wickedness in David's family spirals downward.

The FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit is one of the best-known and most important units within the bureau.  The use of profiling and psychology to apprehend criminals has revolutionized how we understand and identify them. It has also been the subject of popular TV shows, such as Criminal Minds and Mindhunter, and movies like The Silence of the Lambs.  However, it is not without controversy. In fact, there are some people who think it doesn't work at all. Learn about the development of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit and how agents utilize profiling and behavioral analysis to catch criminals on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

War against Ammon and Aram (Syria), success! Then failure, as David succumbs to desire and covers it with murder. The chapter we wish were not there... Nathan's rebuke from God to David.

David overwhelmed by the promises of God. He begins subduing the region for Yahweh. His kindness to Mephibosheth. His attempt to show kindness to an enemy nation.

This week we dive into a horror classic; when we have our good friends for dinner as we discuss The Silence of the Lambs! What will we think of this 90s thriller? Will it be deliciously amazing or do we need to send it back to the chef? Tune in to find out as we SHOOT THE FLICK!!!

Send us a text               Clarice emerges from the bathroom in a half-crouch, arms                out, both hands on the gun, extended just below the level of                her unseeing eyes. She stops, listens. In her raw-nerved                darkness, every SOUND is unnaturally magnified - the HUM of                the refrigerator... the TRICKLE of water... her own terrified                BREATHING, and Catherine's faraway, echoing SOBS... Moths                smack against her face and arms. She eases forward, then                stops again, listens... She eases forward again, following                her gun, and creeps directly in front of, and then past -                  MR. GUMBThat excerpt from the script to Silence of the Lambs showcases the power of the thriller. I can remember sitting in a dark movie theater, glued to the big screen trying to will Jodie Foster's character, Clarice Starling to turn and shoot the killer. I miss those days at the movies.But we are not here to chat about the fall of modern cinema, no, we are here to talk about the Thriller. What it is and why you should try to incorporate elements into your roleplaying game.

David moves the ark back but runs into trouble. His wife's reaction to his dancing. His desire to build a house for God.

Horror doesn't hand down commandments from a mountaintop; it scavenges from headlines, folklore, and fear, then welds those scraps into images we can't shake. We open the vault on a Halloween favorite to map where the genre's “rules” actually come from—Lover's Lane, masks without faces, babysitters on the edge, clowns that cross lines, and formless things that fall from the sky. The trail starts with the Texarkana Moonlight Murders and the media-born “Phantom Killer,” threads through the brutal, under-told case of Janet Christman and the babysitter myth it spawned, and crystallizes in Halloween's The Shape: a mask that erases humanity so audiences can bear the unbearable. From there, we unpack how Ed Gein's grotesque artifacts overwhelmed facts to seed Psycho, Texas Chainsaw, and Silence of the Lambs, proving horror borrows objects and builds archetypes. And that's just scratching the surface.

Ishbosheth murdered. David now can be king over all Israel, a position he will hold for 33 more years. The Philistines attack the new king and are defeated.

The Thompson Show – October 3, 2025 (WWCR 4840 kHz) Todd's back at the mic for the October 3rd edition of The Thompson Show, broadcasting across America and Europe on WWCR 4840 kHz. This week's episode mixes satire, political commentary, and a few sharp cultural dissections, all delivered in Todd's trademark counter-revolutionary style. • Government Shutdown Theater Washington's annual act returns, with both parties playing their roles in the same tired production. Todd explains why the latest standoff is less about governing than survival theater, and why the Democrats' “resistance strategy” has become a desperate act of self-preservation. • The Mormon Shooting and Real Compassion After a gunman attacks a Mormon church in Michigan, Todd recounts the astonishing response: Mormons raising $250,000 not for victims, but for the shooter's family. A meditation on grace, empathy, and walking the walk in an era obsessed with moral posturing. • Greta Thunberg: Celebrity Messiah Complex Greta's second “aid flotilla” to Gaza ends the same way as her first: in Israeli custody. Todd unloads on the global activist machine that turned a scowling teenager into a professional saint, arguing that Thunberg has become the Paris Hilton of protest culture. • Media Circus: Kimmel, Stern, and Manufactured Outrage From Jimmy Kimmel's “suspension” to Howard Stern's contract-renewal drama, Todd exposes how cancellation has become a marketing tool; outrage as advertising, victimhood as PR. • NPR's Political-Violence Poll A new NPR/Marist poll quietly reveals that support for political violence has skyrocketed, especially among Democrats. Todd breaks down the numbers and the implications for a society sleepwalking toward civil fracture. • Coming Next Week: Digital ID & Social Credit A preview of next week's deep-dive into Europe's expanding Digital ID systems, a warning about the creeping convergence of surveillance, censorship, and social-credit control under the guise of “safety” and “accountability.” The Thompson Show airs Fridays at 11 p.m. Central / Midnight Eastern on WWCR 4840 kHz, Nashville Tennessee USA, and is available afterward on all major podcast platforms under The Toddzilla X-Pod.

Civil War continues. Joab vs Abner. Saul's people vs David's. Ishbosheth is the king of Israel, David, of Judah. Abner sells out to David but is then murdered by Joab for vengeance. David is outraged and broken by it.

Throwback ThursdayBunnie and Meme dim the lights and bolt the doors for a bone-chilling installment of the Murder Mystery Series. This week, they dive into the twisted world of Ed Gein—better known as “The Butcher of Plainfield.” One of the most infamous killers and grave robbers in history, Gein's gruesome crimes went on to inspire horror classics like The Silence of the Lambs and House of 1000 Corpses. From his disturbing bond with his mother, to the moment he developed a taste for blood, to the bizarre trophies he kept, this episode will leave you rethinking pigs, shoeboxes, and what true terror really looks like.Watch Full Episodes & More:www.dumbblondeunrated.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Saul and Jonathan die in battle. David mourns them, and then is chosen as Judah's king. Ishbosheth, son of Saul, is king over the rest of Israel.

Saul hears from Samuel and is brought low. David sent home to Ziklag by the Philistines only to find his town has been burned to the ground and his wives have been captured, all by Amalekites. God through David turns things around quickly.

On this solo episode, I share my favorite soundtrack moments in horror (which is separate from my favorite horror movie original scores, which will be its own episode). Movies mentioned include: Dawn of the Dead, Final Destination 3, Shaun of the Dead, Us, American Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, X, Zombieland, Cocaine Bear, Scream, The Strangers: Prey at Night, Urban Legend, Beetlejuice, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Insidious, The Purge: Election Year, Final Destination: Bloodlines, Together, Black Swan, and American Horror Story: Coven. Tangents include: books about the monstrous feminine, my cats, hanging out with Ripley, headphones, and bands.

David again spares Saul, but eventually has to run to the Philistines for protection. Saul, fearing the enemy risen against him, seeks out a medium for encouragement.

In this episode of The Compendium, we uncover the disturbing story of Ed Gein, the Wisconsin serial killer whose gruesome crimes shocked a nation and inspired Hollywood's darkest legends.

September 28, 2025 - Lambs Among Wolves - 10:1-24 - Dr. Tom Richter by First Baptist Cullman

Mother Miriam Live - September 26th, 2025 Mother reads an article titled "Silent Shepherds, Forsaken Lambs"     

David spares Saul's life and Saul ends the chase... for now. David's encounter with Nabal, and with Nabal's wise wife.

The cursed line of Eli is eliminated by an Edomite. David continues to run from forest to cave to wilderness, eluding the mad king Saul.

In this powerful homily delivered at a priestly ordination, Archbishop Aquila reflects on God's call through the prophet Jeremiah: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Drawing from Scripture, he exhorts new priests to depend on the Lord, to preach Christ alone, and to embrace the sacrifice of self-gift at the heart of their vocation. With urgency and tenderness, he reminds the faithful of their duty to pray for vocations, even as disciples are sent into a world often hostile to the Gospel. This episode offers both a challenge and a consolation—pointing us to Christ, who is faithful to his promises and who sends laborers into the abundant harvest.  

David must escape from Saul. Jonathan assists his escape. David begins his trip, borrows holy bread from the priest, and plays the madman in Gath.

David and Michal marry. Saul attempts to kill David many times. How God intervened.

David kills Goliath, befriends Jonathan, and causes Saul to eye him with suspicion and jealousy.

We're finally diving into the case of infamous bodysnatcher, human-skin-furniture-maker, and OG mummy's boy...Ed Gein. A shy bachelor who terrorised a tiny Wisconsin town with his nightmarish farmhouse of horrors in the 1950s, Ed Gein inspired some of the creepiest characters in scary-movie history: from Psycho's Norman Bates to Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs. And with the third season of Ryan Murphy's Monsters turning the Netflix spotlight on Gein, what better time for us to explore the twisted true story behind it all?

Click here to try it out!This week the dads take a look at Copycat (1995), a mid-90s thriller that wants to be Silence of the Lambs but often ends up more made-for-TV movie. Sigourney Weaver stars as an agoraphobic psychologist dragged into a game of cat-and-mouse with a serial killer imitating history's most infamous murderers. Holly Hunter and Dermot Mulroney round out the cast, while Harry Connick Jr. chews the scenery as a crooning creep.In true Bad Dads style, we pull the film apart and ask:Does Copycat earn its place alongside the great psychological thrillers of the era, or is it just derivative drivel?Why are the cops so bad at protecting Weaver's supposedly “safe” apartment?How many times can a killer break in before you stop suspending disbelief?And was Sigourney right to say this was the performance she was most proud of?Alongside the movie, our Top 5 “copies” takes us everywhere from cloned astronauts and plagiarised authors to forged paintings, photocopied genitals, and questionable cover versions. We even put the lads through a brand-new quiz: Copy or Floppy (hint: it's exactly as puerile as it sounds).

The culture is shifting, and the season has changed. It can be agitating and frightening, but it means something else, too: Jesus' return is drawing closer. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can be prepared for our Lord's return. The Bible tells us that deception and conflict, both physical and spiritual, will increase as the End of the Age approaches. Pastor Allen shows how we see this in our world today, then he shares God's instructions for standing firm. Living in the truth of God's Word and relying on His wisdom and peace will be essential. We've been asked to overcome a number of daunting things—our own carnal desires, evil, Satan's kingdom—but God hasn't left us alone. We can trust in the Lion of Judah.

It can be easy to say, “God, I believe You will deliver me from hardship.” However, what we should learn to say is, “Whether I see Your deliverance come the way I want it to or not, I will not stop worshiping You.” In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses depending on God and trusting in His timing. He teaches from the Old Testament book of 2 Kings to demonstrate our need for a deeper understanding of God's character. We can trust that He is sovereign, holy, and righteous, so when we face discouragement, we know that our God gives us the power to overcome. God has given each of us enough faith to begin His work—and He will help us finish.

Through Jesus, the Lion of Judah, we have been given authority over Satan and the kingdom of darkness. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson helps us understand our identity in God's Kingdom. We've been appointed as ambassadors; we're representatives with assignments to complete for the Lord. Pastor Allen shares what it means to be a “stranger in the world,” and he teaches the importance of standing firm against our sinful desires. God has invited us into His family as His children, and through His love, mercy, and power, we can overcome the enemy.

The Silence of the Lambs (1991) follows FBI trainee Clarice Starling as she seeks the help of brilliant but imprisoned cannibal Dr. Hannibal Lecter to catch a serial killer known as “Buffalo Bill.” As Clarice navigates Lecter's mind games, she's forced to confront her own fears while racing against time to save a kidnapped victim. Blending psychological tension, unforgettable performances, and chilling atmosphere, the film redefined the modern thriller and left an enduring mark on pop culture.

There are two lions stalking the earth with opposite objectives, but they don't have equal power. Jesus has won total, complete, eternal, irreversible victory over Satan and the kingdom of darkness. The Lion of Judah has triumphed! In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual conflict raging in the earth and how we can stand firm against the enemy by staying close to the Lion of Judah. We are not powerless or called to be spectators in this fight. We are invited to join the triumphal procession God has planned. Pastor Allen explains that the key to resisting the enemy and spending time in the presence of the Lion of Judah is praise, worship, and yielding our whole person to Jesus Christ—our strength, our intellect, our resources, our calendar, and our priorities. When we worship, it reframes our perception of ourselves and God, strengthening us to stand immovable and triumphant in our faith—even when we're confronted with the roar of the lion. 

The Bible says we are God's people and the sheep of His pasture, and the enemy is like a lion prowling the earth seeking whom he may devour. But there is another Lion who holds all power: Jesus Christ. Without Him, we are inadequate to face the threat of the enemy. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson invites us toward a new position in our faith—to believe that obedience and service to God will empower us to stand firm, not only for the transformation of our hearts but the transformation of nations. Politicians and earthly powers cannot resolve our problems. If the Church stays silent amid evil, we abandon our world to destructive influences and chaos. We need to stand with the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

Many false versions of the gospel are flourishing in the Church right now—what are they, and how can we recognize them? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the symptoms of widespread deception, distortion, and manipulation happening under the umbrella of “faith” today. He warns us to live with an awareness of messages that pervert the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ to fit a popular worldview, agenda, or cultural fad. We learn from Peter and Paul that this is not a new problem; it's an age-old issue. To remain grounded in the Truth, we need to stay close to our Shepherd, the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
