Kelly, as Evel Knievel's son and brand manager, what does it mean to you to see your father's legacy brought to life in his first-ever full-length comic series?2. Rylend, what drew you to Evel Knievel as a character for a comic, and how did you approach blending historical fact with fictional storytelling?3. The series is set during the lead-up to the Caesars Palace fountain jump. How did you decide which real-life events to keep and which moments to fictionalize?4. For readers who may not be familiar with Evel beyond the stunts, what do you hope The Last Gladiator will teach them about who he was as a person?5. The comic promises high-octane action and a modern-day Western feel. Can you walk us through the visual and narrative choices that give the series that unique tone?6. Evel Knievel has inspired movies, documentaries, and countless imitators. What makes comics the right medium to tell this particular story?7. (Fun) If Evel Knievel were still at it today, what stunt do you think he'd attempt just to outdo himself — and how would you put it in the comic?

In deze aflevering duiken we in het thema hechting en de film The Lion King. We maken opnieuw kennis met Simba, die als jonge leeuw een traumatische ervaring meemaakt met het verlies van zijn vader. Samen met onze gast, Dr. Naomi Vanlessen, onderzoeken we hoe dit vroege trauma zijn hechtingspatronen vormt.De film brengt op een toegankelijke manier in beeld wat er gebeurt wanneer veilige hechting wordt verstoord. Simba vlucht letterlijk en figuurlijk weg van pijn, maar draagt zijn onverwerkte trauma met zich mee. We zien hoe hij worstelt met schuld, identiteit en het aangaan van nieuwe relaties - totdat hij uiteindelijk de moed vindt om zijn verleden onder ogen te zien.We verkennen in deze aflevering hoe hechtingstrauma ontstaat, waarom het zo diepgaand kan zijn en hoe we - net als Simba - de weg kunnen terugvinden naar veiligheid, verbinding en eigenwaarde. Dr. Naomi Vanlessen deelt haar expertise over hechting en hoe deze ons hele leven blijft beïnvloeden.Zoals altijd stellen we ons de vraag: Wat als Simba bij ons in therapie zou komen? Wat zouden we onderzoeken? Hoe zouden we hem begeleiden in het helen van zijn hechtingstrauma en het hervinden van zijn plaats in de wereld?Veel luisterplezier!Je vindt ons ook hier terug:Instagram account van Naomi Desmet // https://www.instagram.com/__thetherapyclub/Instagram account van Stefanie Barigand // https://www.instagram.com/peoplepleasing_psycholoog/Instagram account van Naomi Vanlessen// https://www.instagram.com/naomi_vanlessen/

This week on Sweet or Savory, we're joined by the incredibly talented Ashley Argota Torres — actor, singer, writer, and producer.Ashley takes us back to the very beginning of her journey in entertainment, from competing in talent shows to booking her first national tour in The Lion King at age 11, where she even met Kobe Bryant. She went on to star in Nickelodeon's True Jackson VP alongside Keke Palmer, Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures, Disney Channel's How to Build a Better Boy, and is now writing and producing her own projects.We talk about the differences between life as a child actor and navigating the industry today, and Ashley opens up about her exclusive People article, where she shared the truth about her toxic relationship with her mom.

He and Jim dive into the craft of character performance through pencil and paper, the delicate balance between artistry and storytelling, and the evolution of animation from golden age traditions to modern-day innovations.

Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With Austin Powers 4 currently in the works, Aaron & Johnald complete their Shagadelic Marathon, giving their Austin Powers in Goldmember Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review! Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey take on the outrageous 2002 spoof comedy Austin Powers in Goldmember, the third film in the beloved spy parody franchise directed by Jay Roach (Meet the Parents, The Campaign). Mike Myers (Wayne's World, Shrek) once again delivers multiple hilarious performances as Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard, and the eccentric villain Goldmember. This time, Austin teams up with Foxxy Cleopatra, played by Beyoncé (Dreamgirls, The Lion King), to stop Dr. Evil and Goldmember from using a time machine to take over the world. The ensemble cast includes Michael York (Logan's Run) as Basil Exposition, Robert Wagner (Hart to Hart) as Number Two, Seth Green (Family Guy, Robot Chicken) as Scott Evil, and Verne Troyer as Mini-Me. The film also features memorable cameos from Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Danny DeVito, Steven Spielberg, Britney Spears, and Kevin Spacey in the iconic opening sequence. Packed with over-the-top humor, outrageous disguises, the hilarious "Hard Knock Life" rap with Dr. Evil and Mini-Me, and plenty of pop-culture references, Goldmember cemented itself as one of the most quotable and absurd entries in the Austin Powers series. Whether it's Austin's awkward reunion with his father Nigel Powers (Michael Caine, The Dark Knight, The Cider House Rules), Beyoncé's stylish spy antics, or Goldmember's bizarre obsession with gold, the movie remains a nostalgic comedy trip and a defining parody of early 2000s pop culture.

Don't Kill the Messenger with movie research expert Kevin Goetz
Send Kevin a Text MessageIn this episode of Don't Kill the Messenger, host Kevin Goetz sits down with Dick Cook, the former Chairman of Walt Disney Studios known as "the filmmaker's Chairman." From his humble start as a Disneyland train operator to running one of Hollywood's most successful studios, Dick shares how his Bakersfield roots and team-oriented leadership helped deliver some of Disney's most loved and profitable films, including Finding Nemo, The Lion King, National Treasure, and Pirates of the Caribbean.From Bakersfield to Disneyland (01:42) Dick shares how a 17-year-old with railroad experience landed a job operating Disney's steam train and monorail, setting the stage for an extraordinary career journey.Small-Town Values in Hollywood (06:10) Growing up in Oildale, California, Dick explains how losing his father at 12 and his mother's dedication to baseball helped shape his character.The Disruption Era (12:38) Dick discusses joining Disney during the home video and pay television revolution, when many thought it would kill the theatrical business.Learning from Legends (17:25) Dick shares insights from working with Disney visionaries like Jeffrey Katzenberg, Michael Eisner, and Card Walker.Convincing Eisner on Pirates (20:43) The inside story of how Dick had to sell Michael Eisner on Pirates of the Caribbean, an expensive pirate movie with an arthouse actor that became a massive franchise.The Team Philosophy (32:33) Dick emphasizes how success came from building loyal teams and treating the movie business as "a game" - serious work that he genuinely loved doing with people he cared about.Green-Lighting Lessons (35:54) Dick walks through his decision-making process for approving films, from budget considerations to the ancillary market.Remembering The Alamo (37:37) A candid discussion about one of his biggest missteps, how killing the protagonist at the end of the second act doomed The Alamo, and why pre-green-light audience testing might have caught the flaw.Friday Night Phone Calls (40:44) Dick recalls the excitement of Splash's surprising opening weekend success, when hand-calculated box office numbers seemed too good to believe.Dick demonstrates how humility, small-town decency, and collaborative leadership can drive Hollywood success while maintaining his integrity.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review and share it with others.

Have you ever given yourself a deadline to make a dream come true? For singer and actress Rashada Dawan, that deadline was one year. After being laid off and with bills piling up, she made a 12-month commitment to pursue her art full-time before turning to a more “practical” career. Just days before she was set to take an exam to become a police offer, she received a life-altering phone call. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Rashada Dawan to talk about her journey from Chicago church choirs to national stages. This is a story about faith, resilience, and the courage to bet on yourself, even when the clock is ticking.

Daphne Velghe is New Yorker, topmodel en Celebrity Masterchef. En ja, ze is geboren in Antwerpen. Als kind was ze grote fan van 'De Leeuwenkoning'. Ze had zelfs - jawel - een crush op Mufasa! In die mate dat ze onlangs op haar vrijgezellenfeest werd verrast door vooral muzikale vragen over die favoriete tekenfilm.'Mufasa: The Lion King' zet vol in op grote namen, zowel in de cast als achter de camera. Voor deze prequel wilde Disney vooral mensen met streetcred: 'Moonlight'-regisseur Barry Jenkins en muziek van 'Hamilton'-componist Lin-Manuel Miranda. Een strategie die we ook steeds meer zien in de modewereld, waar Disney en fashion elkaar blijkbaar vinden.De film volgt duidelijk de blueprint van 'The Lion King': alle hoofdpersonages zijn verbannelingen en daar ligt misschien té veel nadruk op. Wat maakt dit nu authentiek Afrikaans, zoals de regisseur zo graag wilde? En waarom lijkt Mufasa voortdurend in levensgevaar in de savanne? We missen de comic relief van Timon en Pumbaa. Maar hey, hakuna matata!Welke versie moet Disney nu behouden als ze pretparkattracties gaan maken? Wat gaat de nieuwe generaties aanspreken? En we nerden even over Tokyo DisneySea.
Marq is back on the show this episode and ready to get down to business and discuss Disneyland Paris with Beth. (You thought he was going to defeat the Huns, didn't you? We too were hoping for a dramatic, Mulan-style entrance where he defeated a villainous horde, but we'll take what we can get). Rémy Gets a Remake, kinda: Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy is closing soon for a major refurb. We discuss the new queue scene, technical upgrades, and the controversial move to 2D. Is it a smart practical choice or a loss of identity? We break it down. Merch Madness:We cover the two hottest (and most contrasting) ways to lighten your wallet: the timelessly elegant souvenir spoons vs the impossibly elusive Toy Story Playland key. May the odds be ever in your favor (they won't be). Feel-Good Magic: A quick, nice note on Disneyland Paris's wonderful long-running partnership with Secours Populaire Français. THE BIG ONE: The permits are granted! The Lion King plan, codenamed "Project Sun," is officially a go. Listener Mail: A Grand Tour We help out Barb from Manitoba, who is planning an epic around-the-world trip from Canada to India and wants to squeeze in some Disney magic. We answer her questions on: The best time to stop at DLP to end jet lag fast. How many days you need to see the resort without rushing. Which hotel offers the best bang for your buck (or loonie). And we tackle the ultimate question: is it even possible to add the three Asian Disney parks to this already monumental itinerary? (Spoiler: We have thoughts.) All this, and we manage to keep the podcast coup attempts to a minimum. It's good to have you back, Marq.

Summertime is a good time for lighter fare...August brings us a variety show that is super-fun and super-easy to listen to -- "The Camel Comedy Caravan with Garry Moore and Jimmy Durante." (whew - just call it the Jimmy Durante Show) Remember Jimmy Durante? A fellow so famous for so many decades that just a caricature of his face was once enough to elicit a smile. His outsized "Schnozz" matched the outsized personality from the 1920s through the 1970s. You know him, even if you think you don't -- because even today his catchphrases and songs have endured. You can hear Durante singing in the "Joker" movie of 2019, imitated in the "Lion King," and showing up every year in beloved animated Christmas specials. So for this Audion Original, Pete Lutz decided to revisit this unique talent, imagining a fresh 1940s episode of the Comedy Caravan with on-air partner Garry Moore, plus guest stars Sydney Greenstreet and Rose Marie. It's a half-hour of the kind of variety show that radio did so well. "Everyone wants ta' get inta de act!" and they do for a marvelous half hour of mirth and music...

You have heard this SASF axiom: "A good dad can't be present in children's fiction." This is because if he was, there'd be no story for the kids to take care of -- BUT... there are a few exceptions... - Brian and Nate search for those elusive MG/YA unicorns: the good and present father. - What about To Kill a Mockingbird's Atticus Finch? Jeremiah Land from Peace Like a River? Guido in Life is Beautiful? In these stories, the good dad becomes the protagonist. - Uncle Frank in 100 Cupboards? Nate explains why he'd never call Uncle Frank a good father figure. - Heading further afield: what about Mustafa from The Lion King? Bandit from Bluey? Gomez Addams?? - Finally the guys turn to real life: Ralph Moody's father, Pa Wilder, Bible characters including Nate's pick for best dad in the whole Bible: Jesus's earthly father, Joseph.
SERMON PODCAST NOTESMain Passage:Luke 15:11–24Big Idea:Freedom without the Father always ends in filth.Key Points:Entitlement – Wanting the benefits of God without His boundaries (Luke 15:12)Wild Living – Squandering God's blessings on self-indulgence (Luke 15:13)Loss of Identity – Forgetting who we are when we forget whose we are (Luke 15:16–19)Cultural Parallels:Entitlement says, “I deserve it,” even if it means rejecting God's design.Wild living feels like freedom but ends in relational breakdown, moral compromise, and spiritual numbness.Identity without God leaves us anxious, insecure, and unstable.Illustrations:Adam & Eve's desire for the one thing they couldn't have (Genesis 2)The Lion King's “You have forgotten who you are” moment as a call back to identity.Reflection Questions:Where are you chasing “freedom” apart from God?What boundaries of the Father are you pushing against?Is your identity rooted in His love or in your performance and possessions?
PROJECT AUDION 72: Jimmy Durante - Garry Moore Show Jimmy Durante: so famous for so many decades that just a caricature of his face was enough to elicit a smile.

You can hear Durante singing in the "Joker" movie of 2019, imitated in lines from the "Lion King," and showing up every year in animated Christmas specials. In this Audion Original, Pete Lutz revisits this unique talent, imagining a 1940s episode of the Jimmy Durante Comedy Caravan with his on-air partner Garry Moore, and guest stars Sydney Greenstreet and Rose Marie.

Technovation with Peter High (CIO, CTO, CDO, CXO Interviews)
1000: From Hollywood mogul to venture capital visionary, Jeffrey Katzenberg's story is one of bold bets, iconic storytelling, and relentless reinvention. In this milestone 1000th episode of Technovation, host Peter High welcomes Katzenberg to reflect on a remarkable career spanning five decades across film, animation, and now AI-driven venture investing.

In this wide-ranging and candid conversation, Katzenberg shares: Why the best ideas are risky and why failure is essential to success How DreamWorks was launched just 8 days after being fired from Disney Leadership lessons from icons like Barry Diller and David Geffen The real story behind building Hollywood's most beloved franchises Why AI is both “prose” and “poetry” and what that means for creativity How WndrCo is scaling category-defining businesses across tech This episode explores 50 years of transformation, from The Lion King to Shrek, from studio boardrooms to Silicon Valley pitch rooms. A must-listen for anyone interested in creativity, leadership, and what it takes to build at scale.

Superstar composers John Murphy and David Fleming finally enter the same room (you read that correctly) after an unusual but groundbreaking experience co-composing the score for James Gunn's SUPERMAN. How John's electric guitar-focused approach (he writes themes on a zany guitar he named Ned Flanders) harnessed the majesty of John Williams' iconic theme — and why the trailer debut was nerve racking to see if the world would accept his “version” of it. Also, how his precious guitar themes (28 Days Later, Sunshine) helped prep for how to treat this film with the sound needed. David and John discuss their breakthroughs in film composing — an internship leading to working with Hans Zimmer on The Lion King. Blue Planet II and Top Gun: Maverick — and a book titled “How To Write A Film Score” which was promptly discarded for a few pints. The duo also discuss their unique place in the massive re-launch of the DC Universe's first film — tonally a new direction that called for embracing the campiness a little more, but also the authenticity. How John's music was critical to filming, and later how David navigated a final push to expand the film's musical scope thematically. Also, Squirrelgate.

“I wouldn't say the league humbled me, I would say I didn't dream big enough. I was like every other kid, I wanted to make it to the NFL. But what was humbled, was my aspiration and I realize it wasn't big enough…I want more than just making it.” Jameis Winston From his early NFL highs to on-field struggles, Jameis reflects on how he's matured as a leader, the importance of humility, and the deep-rooted faith that keeps him focused. He shares what he's learned from the likes of Tom Brady, Michael Vick and explains why he's still betting on himself — even in a limited role. In one of the most honest and introspective interviews of camp, Jameis shows why his pivot isn't about giving up—it's about growth, resilience, and redefining success on his own terms. You can't be around the firery quarterback and not be inspired. The gun slinger is entering his 11th NFL season as the the former number one overall pick is content with his new home in New York, but still not satisfied. Jameis still thinks about the plays he left on the field in Tampa, and the bitter sweet feeling of watching the GOAT, Tom Brady, lead his team to a Super Bowl… but in this league, it's about wins and losses, as Jameis reflects back that he didn't have enough W's. There's a maturity in his tone now as he breaks down to Ryan, Channing and Fred how he's become a man who understands reaction vs response and finally fears the consequences of his decisions, on and off the field, especially the passes he wishes he could have back. He's a locker room favorite who leads with his faith and his word. There are no secrets with him as transparency at its fullest, he even goes in-depth sharing what happened during his college days with the infamous crab leg story, describes a trip to Africa like a scene from Lion King and details the off-field struggles that transcended into his on-field miscues. Jameis works everyday to be the best teammate he can to the consummate professional Russell Wilson, and the young buck Jackson Dart… and he's like all of us, anticipating Malik Nabers joining the greats at the Wide Receiveer position. He's loving his role in this locker room and feels it's a much stronger vibe than the one he had when he first arrived back in New Orleans with Marshawn Lattimore, which of course he tells us all about too. Oh and we couldn't let Jameis go without giving us a Pivot speech to keep us motivated as we kick off our NFL Training Camp tour...Be sure to follow along the next month as we travel from city to city bringing you unprecedented conversations around the league.
