Take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of chocolate cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. This week, we talk sci-fi and 80's catch phrases with our guest, director and producer Richard Bakewell. What if the past you remember didn't really happen? That's the simple premise of filmmaker Richard Bakewell's character-driven, science fiction drama, ROSWELL DELIRIUM, which centers around a young woman who survives nuclear disaster and alien encounters, only to slowly discover that the events she remembers are distorted by her traumatic experiences. It's an award winning sci-fi movie that gets meta with 80's catch phrases and an 80's TV and movie star cast including Anthony Michael Hall, Lisa Whelchel, Dee Wallace, Sam Jones, and Reginald VelJohnson, playing characters in an 80's alternate reality dystopia. Join Dan “Grim” Shea, Marke., and the “Retro Cool Nerd” Jimmy Leszczynski as they unpack what it is to be a sci-fi movie and remember, poorly, a few of those “Silly Rabbit, Trix are for Kids” 80's catch phrases. Check us out MattyPRadio.com 

Dave and Ethan are joined by Makeup Department Head from WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story, Kat Bardot! Kat talks about working with Daniel Radcliffe, the toughest effect in the film, and her amazing career working on such projects as Better Call Saul, Drunk History, and Reno 911!

Writer-director Richard Bakewell is a veteran cinematographer and television camera operator who has worked with major media figures like Gordon Ramsay and Oprah Winfrey, and on noted TV docuseries such as Cops, Last Chance U, and Cheer. Richard has written and directed the feature film, Roswell Delirium, as a response to both his own journey back from PTSD and the global response to the 2020 pandemic.  The film stars 1980's legends like Anthony Michael Hall, Lisa Whelchel, Dee Wallace, Reginald Vel Johnson, and Sam Jones. I've seen Roswell Delirium and can tell you it's a complex story set in the 1980s that explores the emotional depths of a strong-willed young woman driven to uncover her own truth, even as she faces her own destruction. 

We welcome writer and director Richard Bakewell to talk about how he got started in the entertainment industry, some of the amazing people he's had the opportunity to work with, and his new movie, Roswell Delirium. Roswell Delirium turns back the clock and revisits the 1980s from the perspective of a young woman who believes she has contacted aliens who can help cure the aftereffects of nuclear disaster. Set in an alternate timeline where the US and USSR exchanged nuclear attacks in 1986, this fantasy-drama features a cast of 1980s icons (Anthony Michael Hall, Lisa Whelchel, Dee Wallace, Reginald VelJohnson, and Sam Jones) alongside three commanding newcomers in a story that evokes the emotional richness of “Terms of Endearment” alongside the haunting suspense of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” Roswell Delirium will be screening at the Golden Gate Film Festival on February 24th at 4pm at the TCL Chinese Theater 6.

What if the past you remember didn't really happen? That's the simple premise of filmmaker Richard Bakewell's character-driven, science fiction drama, ROSWELL DELIRIUM, which centers around a young woman who survives nuclear disaster and alien encounters, only to slowly discover that the events she remembers are distorted by her traumatic experiences. The result is a powerful and compelling blend of genres, set against the backdrop of an alternate history of the 1980s. In “Roswell Delirium” (written, directed, and produced by Bakewell), we witness some of the key events in the life of the young heroine, Mayday “Firefly” Malone (winningly played by Kylee Levien as teenaged Mayday, and Ashton Solecki as the grown-up version). Living in New Mexico in the 1980s, with her emotionally distant father employed by NASA and not always home, Mayday is obsessed with ham radio and satellite communications. But in 1986, the US and USSR devolve into nuclear war: rural areas are unscathed but the resulting years of radiation poisoning mean a new existence where sudden illness, death, and decay become a way of life. Moving between an older, radiation-sick Firefly as she puts her belief into the healing powers of the “Space Rock” at Area 51, and the younger Mayday as the events of the world spin out of control, the film sees the events of this alt-history through the eyes of a smart, determined young woman who slowly comes to realize that all is not as she remembers. With a supporting cast that includes Anthony Michael Hall, Lisa Whelchel, Dee Wallace, Sam Jones, and Reginald VelJohnson, the film evokes it's alternate-1980s setting with loving precision and eye for detail.

Richard Bakwell Director and Storyteller Interview | Roswell Delirium COPS LAST CHANCE U and More! “ROSWELL DELIRIUM” turns back the clock and revisits the 1980s from the perspective of a young woman who believes she has contacted aliens who can help cure the aftereffects of nuclear disaster.  Set in an alternate timeline where the US and USSR exchanged nuclear attacks in 1986, this fantasy-drama from writer-director Richard Bakewell features a cast of 1980s icons (Anthony Michael Hall, Lisa Whelchel, Dee Wallace, Reginald VelJohnson, and Sam Jones) alongside three commanding newcomers in a story that evokes the emotional richness of “Terms of Endearment” alongside the haunting suspense of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” Mayday Malone (played with astonishing precocity by newcomer Kylee Levien) is in high school when the two global superpowers launch a series of nuclear attacks against each other. Living in rural New Mexico, her community is spared immediate destruction, but for years afterwards, people continue to die of diseases caused by nuclear radiation. With her emotionally distant father working for NASA and frequently away, Mayday channels her scientific curiosity and spare time into monitoring government satellite communication, while her mother (Arielle Bodenhausen) tries to keep things together. From the perspective of years later, an older Mayday – now known as Firefly (played by Ashton Solecki) is facing her own mortality from disease, but believes she has found a cure in the site formerly known as Area 51, and is working through her thoughts with a therapist (Anthony Michael Hall). As the story moves between the journeys of both Mayday and Firefly, the truth about what happened to them – and what happened to the world around them – emerges in startling and unimagined ways. Writer-director Richard Bakewell, a veteran cinematographer and television camera operator who has worked with major media figures (Gordon Ramsay, Oprah Winfrey) and on noted television docuseries (“Cops,” “Last Chance U,” “Cheer”), forged the story of “Roswell Delirium” as a response to both his own journey back from PTSD and the global response to the 2020 pandemic. The result is a rich, complex story that evokes a new perspective on the 1980s by plumbing the emotional depths of a strong heroic young woman driven by the dogged pursuit of the truth, even in the face of her own destruction.  Connect with us on our website for more amazing conversations! www.brettallanshow.com Got some feedback?

This episode is a continuation of last week's discussion about the necessity of evolving your parenting style as your child transitions between seasons. I brought in my own mom, Lisa Whelchel, to talk a bit about the her motherhood journey with us three kids over the years. In Part 1 we talked about toddlerhood through jr. high, while in this episode, Part 2, we explore high school through adulthood. The teen years can be a tricky time for both child/mom as they learn to navigate unchartered territory and new boundaries, but then after they become an adult another dramatic shift needs to take place in order to evolve together. Hint: It requires more & more autonomy until ultimately you aren't “parenting” your adult child whatsoever.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/haven-the-podcast/support

For those of us growing up in the 1980s, and our parents as well, The Facts of Life was simply must-see TV. The coming of age story of four girls at a boarding school, under the care of watchful housemother Mrs. Garrett, warmed our hearts and our television screens. Who can forget preppy, glamorous Blair Warner, brought to life for nine seasons by actress Lisa Whelchel? Lisa, a committed Christian from the age of 10, has gone on to have quite the journey over the decades, from marrying (and later divorcing) a pastor, to writing a number of Christian-themed books on family and parenthood. But it was her season on Survivor in 2012 that seems to have sparked a personal growth journey for the ages! Alicia has the details.

Enneagram Threes focus on outstanding performance, being perceived as successful, and avoiding failure at all costs. They believe that love comes from achievement, image, and status and have the tendency to neglect or ignore the personal needs of self and others. But when Threes move toward health, they move to the high side of Six.  When that happens, they no longer need to “drive the bus” or flaunt success. They are so good at helping others live to their full potential and be successful in their own right and not have it be all about their own success. In this episode, Lisa Whelchel discusses her journey toward being a healthy Three.  Listen in as she touches on her subtypes, how she identifies her True Self, and how the Enneagram has impacted her life as an introverted Type 3 with a 2 wing.   Lisa is an actress, author, international speaker, and life coach.

BEST OF HMS PODCASTS - Monday January 2, 2023

Greetings! We are combatting the dead zone that is the holidays with a bonus episode: the fourth of Weirdest Episode Ever, our new Patreon series looking at sitcoms that venture into sci-fi, horror and fantasy. If you like this, you can listen to three other episodes on Patreon, with another six to come in early 2023. They're available for people supporting us at the $5 level or higher. Here's the full list of episodes we have done/will be doing: The Cosby Show, "The Day the Spores Landed" (a.k.a. the male pregnancy episode) I Love Lucy, “Lucy Goes to Scotland" (a.k.a. Lucy gets fed to a dragon) Perfect Strangers, "Aliens" (a.k.a. Balki is an alien) The Facts of Life, "Seven Little Indians" (a.k.a. the Twilight Zone parody) A Family Matters, "Stevil" (a.k.a. Steve Urkel gets a murderous puppet doppelganger) Benson, "Death in a Funny Position" (a.k.a. serial killer cruise ship) Day By Day, "A Very Brady Episode" (a.k.a. a very strange venture into Brady Bunch land) Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place, "Two Guys a Girl and a Psycho Halloween" (a.k.a. Ryan Reynolds murders everyone) Punky Brewster, "The Perils of Punky" (a.k.a. the cave of horrors) The Cosby Show, "Cliff's Nightmare" (a.k.a. Cliff Huxtable vs. Muppets) Here are the details on this Facts of LIfe episode: “Seven Little Indians” (January 3, 1987) It would be ambitious for any sitcom, much less Facts of Life specifically, to attempt a weird episode that not only satirizes 1980s slasher movies but also murder mysteries and also The Twilight Zone. For all that being packed into one 22-minute format, this one actually works pretty well. Lisa Whelchel as Blair — big-haired, wild eyed and caked with makeup — makes for a striking visual that probably traumatized a few kids back in the day. The Facts of Life, previously: Blair Warner Is a Homophone Jo Polniaczek Is a Lesbian Hearththrob The logo for Weirdest Episode Ever + the rad art of psycho killer Blair Warner was designed by Ian O'Phelan. The theme music was composed by Nick Loiacano.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Ike Eisenmann who you will likely remember from television, commercials and film. From Double Mint Gum ads to Escape from Witch Mountain to Fantastic Journey, Ike was about as in demand a child and young adult actor was in the 1970s and 1980s. What you may not know about Ike however, if you didn't grow up in Houston, Texas is that Ike's dad Albert was the creator and host of a massively popular local children's show, Cadet Don which ran for close to a decade from 1959 to 1968. We talk to Ike about quite a few topics including his Pop Culture Retro Podcast, local programming on television that simply doesn't exist anymore, the influence the Cadet Donshow had on children (including two celebrity brothers) as well as the role NASA played in the show. We also hear from Ike about what it was like about becoming a child actor and the salvation it presented for him. You've heard of Stage Mothers? We hear about his Stage Father, who was somewhat difficult and overly aggressive guardian who often shared his own head shots with casting directors while Ike auditioned for a role. Ike was incredibly generous to talk about the dark times as well as the folly. What folly you ask? Disco dancing with Brooke Shields and Lisa Whelchel at Disneyland? Or how about working with ex quarterback playboy ‘Dandy' Don Meredith on a pilot that never went to series? Regardless, Ike was most insightful and open about growing up the child of a celebrity as well as his own celebrity and you can listen to that now, on the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.

Join me in St. Louis, Missouri, for a Fresh Grounded Faith conference with former “Facts of Life” actress, Lisa Whelchel. She'll take you way back to when she was a Mouseketeer and even do an impromptu ventriloquism bit from her Disney days. She'll talk about what it was like to be on “Survivor” and how grace can totally change your life. Plus, I share about the impact of doubt and fear on our faith, my depression, and how I raised my boys with blindness. And, former lead singer of Newsong, Michael O'Brien, gets real honest about leaving his life of drugs and how he stayed clean in those early days. He'll even break out in song!
