Podcast appearances and mentions of liam o donnell

Tune in to hear me on the OTHER SIDE of a podcast convo! I was fortunate enough to feature as a guest on Runnez Radio Podcast with Rick Mirabella recently, to talk all things Mindset & Mental Health. It was fantastic to have a platform to expand a bit more on my personal story navigating through depression, anxiety & traumatic brain injury that took place from a bar fight back in April 2015. I certainly don't have all the answers though a large part of my life in the past 5 years has been deeply exploring anything that relates to optimising the body, mind & psyche of humans. I was first passionate about learning in this field solely to help myself - I was in a NASTY place mentally and emotionally, and I was looking for ideas to help feel 'normal' again. That soon became an obsession, and pretty quickly I was committed to share powerful ideas, strategies and philosophies that may help other people navigate their own journey towards fulfilment and a sound state of mental wellbeing. In this chat with Rick - who, btw is a legend - we casually explore different lessons learned along the way and provide tips & strategies to dramatically improve how we feel on a daily basis. We share a few laughs throughout too - I suppose that's what you get when you put 2 'big' personalities in a room together with a couple of mics! Enjoy guys. If you get value, please share!

WARNING: Make sure to watch SKYLINES before listening to this track. The SKYLINES (2020) Blu-ray was supposed to include a feature-length commentary track with Writer/Director Liam O'Donnell, but due to miscommunication, it never made it onto the disc, and the world never got a chance to hear how the mega ambitious DTV sci-fi action romp came to be. Until now. The Important Cinema Club is proud to present a commentary track for SKYLINES hosted by Writer/Director Liam O'Donnell. Get the film cued up to synch, start this episode, and hit play after the countdown.

And how vital is this for fans of Bruce Campbell and Robert Davi??? #JackedUpReviewShow #Podcast #ManiacCop #EvilDead #Terminator #Serpico #RobertDavi #BruceCampbell #Bmovie #newyork #corruptcops #voodoo #society #controversial #violent #gore #vigilante #psychocop #tangoandcash #RobertZDar #DieHard #SidneyLumet #SamRaimi #RichardRoundtree #ClaudiaChristian #GrandLBush

I hold a B.A. in Creative Writing from Columbia University. While there I focused on fiction, television and screenwriting. I'm bossy, detail-oriented, and good at multi-tasking, so my ultimate goal is to be a television showrunner/mom.

(Which I lovingly call "juice.") -Candles. Beeswax candles (allegedly) purify the air. -Dateline, 48 Hours, any crime show will do. -Basic grammar and spelling. (Even if your iPhone tells you otherwise, please don't use apostrophes to pluralize words!) -My skin and spending far too much money on facials.  -Old stuff, particularly if it's from England, Paris, or the East Coast of the United States. -My family. -House slippers. -My friends. -Ayurveda. -My husband. (Used to be obsessed with engagement rings, but I have one now, thank you!) -Cheese. I've never met a cheese I didn't like. 

Greetings & Salutations Old Chums, Welcome to this, the first inaugural episode of FLIGHTS OF FANCY. We’ve finally escaped the Tomb and are ready to pursue our one true passion: Batman Elseworlds comics! That’s right, we’re scouring the multiverse (and beyond) to examine all the weird, wild versions of the Dark Knight that DC has published over the years. And, to kick things off, we’ve also got our first FLIGHTS OF FANCY guest – Liam O’Donnell of Cinepunx, Horror Business, and Cinema Smorgasbord fame! For our main feature, we’re looking at John Byrne’s BATMAN & CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 from February 1997. In the midst of World War 2, someone is trying to steal US military secrets. With the fate of the free world at stake, will Batman and Captain America be able to work together to stop this threat? Finally, as a backup story, we’re looking at the classic Silver Age story “The Son of the Joker” found in BATMAN vol 1 #145 from February 1962. In this Imaginary Story, we meet Batman II and Robin II as they confront their new foe – the Son of the Joker! Does this new Clown Prince of Crime live up to his namesake?

Prior to her Broadway debut, Laiona had been on the road, cast in the first national tour of the musical, Book of Mormon, which won nine Tony Awards in 2011. Laiona’s passion as an actor took a different turn during the run of Amazing Grace, which was written by a first-time playwright. That story captivated the writer’s side of her. And what began with a thought, turned to obsession, and led to a re- discovery of her writing skills, one she now continues to perfect. In 2018, Little Girl Blue – The Nina Simone Musical made its way to the George Street Playhouse, where it had a limited run engagement and played to sold-out audiences, standing ovations and stellar reviews. She has since been commissioned by the Mandela estate to collaborate on a new, Broadway bound, Mandela Musical, based on the South African activist, imprisoned for 27-years, and who was eventually released to become that nation’s president. The musical features music and lyrics by Shaun and Greg Dean Borowsky, and book by Laiona Michelle. It is being produced in partnership with the Mandela family itself, and is scheduled for a New York theatrical – date to be announced. As an actor, she has been nominated for a number of awards including the Independent Reviewers of New England, Best Lead Actress award (2001, Stonewall Jackson’s House), Laiona is the recipient of the Barrymore and Carbonell Awards (2004, Constant Star), The NAACP Hollywood award (2005, Constant Star) and she was nominated for the Helen Hayes Award (2005, Yellowman). In addition to her stage work, Laiona has also made appearances on network and cable television in Showtime’s Lift, ABC’s All My Children, NBC’s Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: CI, The Blacklist as well as Amazon’s, Sneaky Pete (Bryan Cranston and Giovanni Ribisi).

On this episode of Baring It All with Call Me Adam, on the Broadway Podcast Network, I am recording at The Houdini Museum in NYC with award winning cabarettist performer Molly Pope. Molly is returning to Joe's Pub with a brand new show called Polly Mope. Polly Mope is a wry look inside what can happen when you find yourself stuck alone with yourself on a long, sleepless night. How do you get through the night? Molly Pope faces the literal and the metaphorical question on a nightlong musical mental agility course. Locked in her 6th floor walk-up, this solo musical delves into what she’ll do to make it to the dawn; coping with being a human person, the bi-polarcoaster, and wind chimes. Molly Pope brings her neo-retro musical sensibility to original songs written with Jim Andralis & Larry Krone, Lance Horne, Erato Kremmyda, Brian Nash, Martha Redbone, and music director/collaborator Matt Aument. ***Due to COVID-19 Pandemic Molly's show has been postponed. When a new date is announced, I will post it here along with a ticket link.+++ For more on Molly visit https://www.mollypope.com and follow her Twitter and Instagram! Like what you hear?
