A new documentary about a Cape Breton-born Canadian legend is showing this weekend at the Boardmore Playhouse.

This episode's guest is author, comedian, and musician Aug Stone. The audio version of his fictional comedy book from 2023 The Ballad Of Buttery Cake Ass has just been released. It's the story of two music obsessives who embark on a hilarious quest to track down Buttery Cake Ass' Live In Hungaria, an album as legendary as it is obscure. Their pursuit of one of the greatest bands ever unknown takes them down many a bizarre path teeming with grand ideas and grander egos in this ode to record shopping and what it's like to be in your first band. Packed with puns, allusions, and references across a wide range of culture, both popular and not, Aug offers up a big slice of the fun and frustration of playing rock n roll. Purchase a copy of The Ballad Of Buttery Cake Ass inPaperbackKindleAudiobook Visit AugStone.com---------- BookedOnRock.com The Booked On Rock YouTube Channel Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:FACEBOOKINSTAGRAMTIKTOKX Find Your Nearest Independent Bookstore Contact The Booked On Rock Podcast: thebookedonrockpodcast@gmail.com The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe

In 1993, the concept of dinosaurs was something that was only realized onscreen by puppetry and practical effects. Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend and Jim Henson's Dinosaurs tv show were about the cream of the crop of what an onscreen dinosaur looked like. Who better to change this idea than The Beard himself, Steven Spielberg. With friend Michael Crichton publishing a book he told Spielberg was ‘the most expensive movie ever made', and Spielberg's career needing a boost after 1991's Hook coming and going with a whimper, it would seem all the pieces were coming together for Jurassic Park, a film that would change visual effects as we know it. Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they begin a retrospective 65 million years in the making, beginning with the 1993 original, Jurassic Park.

On this episode, we continue our informal miniseries on the 1980s movies of director Martha Coolidge with a look back at her 1985 under appreciated classic, Real Genius. ----more---- TRANSCRIPT   From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today.   Before we hop in to today's episode, I want to thank every person listening, from whatever part of the planet you're at. Over the nearly four years I've been doing this podcast, we've had listeners from 171 of the 197 countries, and occasionally it's very surreal for this California kid who didn't amount to much of anything growing to think there are people in Myanmar and the Ukraine and other countries dealing with war within their borders who still find time to listen to new episodes of a podcast about 33 plus year old mostly American movies when they're released. I don't take your listenership lightly, and I just want you to know that I truly appreciate it. Thank you.   Okay, with that, I would like to welcome you all to Part Three of our informal miniseries on the 1980s movies of director Martha Coolidge.   When we left Ms. Coolidge on our previous episode, her movie Joy of Sex had bombed, miserably. But, lucky for her, she had already been hired to work on Real Genius before Joy of Sex had been released.   The script for Real Genius, co-written by Neal Israel and Pat Proft, the writers of Bachelor Party, had been floating around Hollywood for a few years. It would tell the story of a highly intelligent high school kid named Mitch who would be recruited to attend a prestigious CalTech-like college called Pacific Tech, where he would be teamed with another genius, Chris, to build a special laser with their professor, not knowing the laser is to be used as a weapon to take out enemy combatants from a drone-like plane 30,000 feet above the Earth.   ABC Motion Pictures, a theatrical subsidy of the American television network geared towards creating movies that could be successful in theatres before playing on television, would acquire the screenplay in the early 1980s, but after the relative failure of a number of their initial projects, including National Lampoon's Class Reunion and Young Doctors in Love, would sell the project off to Columbia Pictures, who would make the film one of the first slate of films to be produced by their sister company Tri-Star Pictures, a joint venture between Columbia, the cable network Home Box Office, and, ironically, the CBS television network, which was also created towards creating movies that could be successful in theatres before playing on television. Tri-Star would assign Brian Grazer, a television producer at Paramount who had segued to movies after meeting with Ron Howard during the actor's last years on Happy Days, producing Howard's 1982 film Night Shift and 1984 film Splash, to develop the film.   One of Grazer's first moves would be to hire Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, writers on Happy Days who helped to create Laverne and Shirley and Joanie Loves Chachi, to rewrite the script to attract a director. Ganz and Mandel had also written Night Shift and rewrote the script for Splash, and Grazer considered them his lucky charm. After trying to convince Ron Howard to board the project instead of Cocoon, Grazer would create a list of up and coming filmmakers he would want to work with. And toward the top of that list was Martha Coolidge.   Coolidge would naturally gravitate towards Real Genius, and she would have an advantage that no other filmmaker on Grazer's list would have: her fiancee, Michael Backes, was himself an egghead, a genius in physics and biochemistry who in the years to come would become good friends with the writer and filmmaker Michael Crichton, working as a graphics supervisor on the movie version of Chricton's book Jurassic Park, a co-writer of the screenplay based on Chricton's book Rising Sun, and an associate producer on the movie version of Chricton's book Congo.   Once Coolidge was signed on to direct Real Genius in the spring of 1984, she and Backes would work with former SCTV writer and performer PJ Torokvei as they would spend time talking to dozens of science students at CalTech and USC, researching laser technology, and the policies of the CIA. They would shape the project to something closer to what Grazer said he loved most about its possibility, the possibility of genius. "To me,” Grazer would tell an interviewer around the time of the film's release, “a genius is someone who can do something magical, like solve a complex problem in his head while I'm still trying to figure out the question. I don't pretend to understand it, but the results are everywhere around us. We work, travel, amuse ourselves and enhance the quality of life through technology, all of which traces back to what was once an abstract idea in the mind of some genius.”   When their revised screenplay got the green light from the studio with an $8m budget, Grazer and Coolidge got to the task of casting the film. While the young genius Mitch was ostensibly the lead character in the film, his roommate Chris would need a star to balance out the relative obscurity of his co-star. A number of young actors in Hollywood would be seen, but their choice would be 25 year old Val Kilmer, whose first movie, Top Secret!, had not yet opened in theatres but had hot buzz going for it as the followup film for the Airplane! writing/directing team of Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker.   Fourteen year old Gabe Jarret, whose only previous film work had been in a minor role in the 1981 Tony Danza/Danny DeVito comedy Going Ape!, would land the coveted role of Mitch, while supporting roles would go to Coolidge's former costars Michelle Meyrink, Deborah Foreman and Robert Prescott, as well as William Atherton, who at the time was on movie screens as Walter Peck, the main human antagonist to the Ghostbusters, as Chris and Mitch's duplicitous professor, Jerry Hathaway, and Patti D'Arbanville, who had made a splash on screens in 1981 as Chevy Chase's long-suffering girlfriend in Modern Problems.   Shooting would begin on Real Genius in Southern California on November 12th, 1984. Most of the film would be shot on sets built at the Hollywood Center Studios, just a few blocks west of the Paramount Studios lot, while several major set pieces, including the memorable finale involving Professor Hathaway's house, a space laser and 190,000 pounds of popcorn, were shot in the then quiet suburban area of Sand Canyon, a few miles east of Magic Mountain, a popular theme park and filming area about 45mins north of Hollywood Center Studios. Outdoor scenes standing in for the Pacific Tech campus would be filmed at Occidental College in Eagle Rock and Pomona College in Claremont, while some scenes would be filmed at General Atomics outside San Diego, standing in for an Air Force base in the film's climax. Shooting on the film would finish after the first of the year, giving Coolidge and her editor, Richard Chew, about seven months to get the film in shape for a planned August 7th, 1985, release.   Going in to the Summer 1985 movie season, Real Genius was positioned to be one of the hit films of the summer. They had a hot up and coming star in Val Kilmer, a hot director in Martha Coolidge, and a fairly solid release date in early August. But then, there ended up being an unusual glut of science fiction and sci-fi comedy movies in the marketplace at the same time. In March, Disney released the dinosaur-themed Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend, which was not a good film and bombed pretty bad. In June, there was the artificial intelligence film D.A.R.Y.L., which was not a good film and bombed pretty bad. In July, there was Back to the Future, which was a very good film and became one of the biggest successes of the year, and there was Explorers, Joe Dante's followup to Gremlins, which featured Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix as teenage boys who build their own spacecraft to explore outer space, and although it was one of the best movies released in the summer of 1985, it too bombed pretty bad.    But then, in a seven day period in early August, we had Weird Science, which was not very good and not very successful, Real Genius, and My Science Project, another Disney movie about a glowing orb thing from outer space that causes a lot of problems for a lazy high school student looking for something to use for his science class final, which is one of the worst movies of the year, and bombed worse than any of the other movies mentioned.   Weird Science, John Hughes' followup to his surprise hit The Breakfast Club, released only six months earlier, would open on August 1st, and come in fourth place with $4.9m from 1158 theatres. In its second weekend of release, Weird Science would lose 40% of its opening weekend audience, coming in fifth with $2.97m. But that would still be better than Real Genius, which opened on Wednesday, August 5th, which would come in sixth in its opening weekend, with $2.56m from 990 locations. My Science Project, opening on August 7th, could only manage to open in 13th place with $1.5m from 1003 theatres. That would be worse than a reissue of E.T. in its fourth weekend of release.   In its second weekend, Real Genius would only drop 14% of its opening weekend audience, coming in with $2.2m from 956 locations, but after a third weekend, losing a third of its screens and 46% of its second week audience, Real Genius would be shuttled off to the dollar houses, where it would spend another seventeen weeks before exiting theatres with only $12.95m worth of tickets sold.   However, it is my personal opinion is that the film failed to find an audience because it was perceived as being too smart for a simple audience. Real Genius celebrates intelligence. It doesn't pander to its audience. In many ways, it belittles stupidity, especially Mitch's moronic parents. Revenge is dished out in the most ingenious ways, especially at the end with Professor Hathaway's house, to the point where the science behind how Chris and Mitch did what the did is still actively debated thirty-eight years later. Caltech students served as consultants on the film, and played students in the background, while Dr. Martha Gunderson, a physics professor at USC whose vast knowledge about lasers informed the writers during the development stage, played a math professor on screen. Finally, to help promote the film, Martha Coolidge and producer Brian Grazer held the first-ever online press conference through the CompuServe online service, even though there were less than 125,000 on the entire planet who had CompuServe access in August 1985.   Today, the film is rightfully regardless as a classic, but it wouldn't make Val Kilmer a star quite yet. That, of course, would happen in 1986, when he co-starred as Tom Cruise's frenemy in Tony Scott's Top Gun. Gabe Jarret would eventually become Gabriel Jarret, appearing in such movies as Karate Kid 3, Apollo 13 and The American President, and he continues to work in movies and on television to this day. Sadly, the same cannot be said for Michelle Meyrink, who would quit acting three years after making Real Genius, but we'll talk about that on our next episode. And, of course, William Atherton would cement his reputation as the chucklenut Gen Xers love to hate when he played the cocky television reporter Dick Thornburg in the first two Die Hard movies.   And with that, we come to the end of this episode. Thank you for joining us.    We'll talk again next week, when Episode 111, on Coolidge's 1988 comedy Plain Clothes, is released.   Remember to visit this episode's page on our website, The80sMoviePodcast.com, for extra materials about the movies we covered this episode.   The 80s Movies Podcast has been researched, written, narrated and edited by Edward Havens for Idiosyncratic Entertainment.   Thank you again.   Good night.

This week we travel to Africa to take a look at the cryptid known as Mokele Mbembe.  My introduction to this creature came about in a 1980's movie called Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend.  Basically there are slightly smaller versions of apatosauruses roaming the Congo River Basin.  Sightings started in the 1700's and still continue today.Vote for us in the Paranormality Magazine's Top 10 Paranormal Podcast List!To see photos we discussed in this episode, please follow us on our Social Media platforms:Lurk on FacebookLurk on TwitterLurk on InstagramWe have a new Facebook Group join in the discussion!

Be sure and check out DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT! We're excited to talk with paleontologist Matthew Kolmann about a fish whose legendary ferocity ranks with the shark and the barracuda - the piranha! Are they capable of turning an animal into a skeleton in minutes? No. But they're still wicked cool. And don't worry - we manage to throw in some cryptid stories too!   Content Warning: We do talk a bit about testicles being bitten off by fish. Teddy Roosevelt's book about his trip to South America, Through the Brazilian Rainforest. Then there's the weird back-story about his seeing a cow eaten by the fish, apparently part of a staged event. The legend of the Swedish pacu fish that eats testicles came from a 2013 article that was referencing a less reputable paper that was, in turn, reprinting an urban legend. Pacu don't eat people's testicles, although they do eat nuts. The Piranha film series has done little to further our cultural understanding of these fascinating fish. I slightly messed up the title of the film about Mokele Mbembe. It's Baby - Secret of the Lost Legend (1985). Boto Encantado - the magical shape-changing river dolphin Were-Jaguars are quite common in legends of South & Central America. Here's an academic paper on the topic, specifically referencing the shape changing Kanaima. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ryan Raddatz, or perhaps more fondly known by his Philmont friends as "Raddish,” joins the show today to discuss Rayado, Philmont music, inclusive scouting, and more.Ryan praises the musicianship and skill of todays staff, recalling how campfire dynamics of the 90s were more spontaneous and on the fly - a collaboration of new and refired musicians learning from one another.

At the beginning of this cycle of time, the Great Spirit divided the people of the world into five groups, giving each of them a different color. To each he gave specific teachings, and to each he gave a specific task. He then sent four of the groups out in four different directions in the world. Cautioning them that one group can never exist alone, the Great Spirit instructed that, when they came back together again, the five groups were to share their teachings and what they had learned in carrying out their tasks. This episode is also available as a blog post: http://martinifisher.com/2017/06/04/the-lost-legend-of-the-human-races-the-people-who-havent-found-their-way-back-to-each-other/

Some of our favourite movie memories from the 80's and 90's involve creatures that capture the imaginations of children everywhere - Dinosaurs. From the industry-shaking special effect innovations, through compelling stories invoking a sense of wonder and awe, to the wonderfully written characters only matched by their equally brilliant directing, dinosaur movies shaped our childhoods and set lofty benchmarks for what a true classic should be. Unfortunately for you, in this episode of You Deserve Medals, we drag our (and your) sanity through almost two hours of a dinosaur movie that is absolutely none of any of that. Join Jay and Benny as they suffer through one of the more nonsensical and depressing adventure movies to come out of our memories - Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend. A family of terrifyingly monstrous brontosaurus we're supposed to sympathize with, and who spend the entire movie suffering horrible tragedies because why not - check. Anthropologists quite literally murdering one another in broad daylight because academia is a gang war - check. A married couple with no military or combat training, taking on an entire platoon of heavily armed soldiers without any consequence to them whatsoever - check. An ending that leaves you hollow and emotionally devastated - check. Eat your heart out, Spielberg - THIS is a dinosaur movie for the ages. Swallow what little happiness you have left in your life and slog along with us as we discuss things like: Was this movie written and directed by the Africa Tourism Board? Because the majority of the introduction looks like it's straight out of a travel commercial As two grown men battling severe spider phobias, we can't understand how this ill-prepared couple can traipse around the African jungle, with no adequate survival gear, and never encounter a deadly spider, lizard, snake, scorpion, or bug, let alone malaria-laced mosquitoes. Their entire time in the wilderness gives us the willies We hope the person responsible for designing the dinosaur eyes never worked in Hollywood afterwards. Good lord Don't worry, dad won't let mom and baby get kidnapped. Just kidding! He'll fail miserably and die in an absolutely brutal hail of machine gun fire, and proceed to rot in the sun over the next several days. Uplifting! We cannot stress enough how disturbing this entire chunk of the movie is. From the dad getting gunned down, to him dying next to his mate's body, to baby snuggling next to his rotting corpse days later, the movie leaves you with a sense of emptiness and sorrow The married couple are very into one another, which is great. Their complete and constant lack of self-control, however, cost everyone everything Can everyone in this movie ease up on the baseball bat-sized tranquilizer darts? They love drugging the mom dinosaur so much that it takes up entire scenes Whoever played the tribe leader deserves all the Oscars ever. The man's shoulders must have been aching from the strain of carrying this movie The ending is supposed to be happy, but has some serious implications for the survival of the species

In today's story, RL Stine combines the macabre world of European folklore with the psychological fear of the unknown, presented with elements of semi-steampunk aesthetic. The result is just terrible.Legend of the Lost Legend is the forty-seventh book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1996.

The chilling and eclectic soundtrack of Unsolved Mysteries is comprised of hundreds of hours of original music written during the show's decades long run. The theme song alone is renowned for its ability to frighten and unsettle young viewers of the show. In recent years, a small portion of this music has been curated and released as two records. In this episode, we are joined by Caleb Stokes from The Mixed Six Podcast to discuss the music from these albums and share our personal experiences watching Unsolved Mysteries.

Some stories can not be found in your local library. Some tales are not searchable on the internet. Some legends only exist in the dense forests of European countries like Brovania, to be found by overweight fathers and accident prone children. Also, how about there are giant cats and a viking while we're at it?

On this week's episode of Mousterpiece Cinema, Josh and Gabe are traveling to the African continent to explore a strange new society that may indeed hold a surprising link to the Jurassic period of Planet Earth. Just think: what if there were still dinosaurs walking among humanity? Wouldn't that be crazy? Wouldn't that change our perception of science? Wouldn't...you want to be the first person to reveal this discovery, damn the consequences? That's one of the lessons our lead characters learn in this week's film, Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend, which we discussed with guest Tom Nix. And guess what? This movie is...uh...well, put it this way, one of your hosts is convinced this might be one half of the worst double feature we've ever discussed on the podcast. And that's even including a crazy performance from "Downtown Abbey"'s own Julian Fellowes. ("Downtown Abbey," right? Not "Downton"?) Check out why this movie might be so bad now!

This is NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Liu Yan in Beijing. Here is the news. The People's Liberation Army of China has made a historic reshuffle of its branches, as military reforms ordered by President Xi Jinping gradually unfold. During a ceremony held in Beijing, Xi announced the establishment of the PLA Army Headquarters, the PLA Rocket Force and the PLA Strategic Support Force. Xi is also chairman of the Central Military Commission. The president says the moves are a key milestone in the modernization efforts of the Chinese military. Previously, the PLA's ground force did not have a headquarters, as its units were under the direct control of the Central Military Commission. The seven regional military commands were in charge of the detailed operations of ground units stationed within their jurisdictions. The Rocket Force's predecessor, the PLA Second Artillery Corps, was formed in 1966 to manage the country's strategic missiles. Its name was given by then-premier Zhou Enlai in an attempt to keep its true functions secret. The missile force made its public debut in 1984. This is NEWS Plus Special English. China's first domestic violence law may include emotional or psychological abuse and cover cohabitation in order to protect traditionally silent abuse victims. The new draft law noted that the country prohibits any form of domestic violence. Domestic violence is defined as physical or psychological harm inflicted by family members, including beatings, injuries, restraint or forcible limits on physical liberty as well as recurring verbal threats and abuse. An earlier draft, submitted in August, included only physical abuse, but many lawmakers have since argued that the definition was too narrow. China does not have a specialized law on family abuse, and the issue has remained in the shadows for a long time in a country where family conflicts are considered embarrassing private matters. As a result, victims are often afraid to speak out and, in many cases, are turned away by police. This is NEWS Plus Special English. A Chinese court has granted a man who spent more than 11 years behind bars after a false murder conviction more than 1.2 million yuan, roughly 200,000 U.S. dollars, in state compensation. Citing insufficient evidence, a court in central China's Hunan Province overturned the guilty verdict against Zeng Ai-yun, a former graduate student of engineering at Xiangtan University in July. Zeng was convicted in 2004 of murdering his graduate school classmate Zhou Yu-heng. Zeng had been sentenced to death three times by the same court in 2004, 2005 and 2010. The Supreme People's Court rejected the verdicts and ordered a retrial. Another classmate of the victim's, Chen Hua-zhang, was later found to be the real killer. Chen poisoned Zhou with diazepam on Oct. 27, 2003 as he was jealous of the attention Zhou enjoyed from their mentor. Chen deliberately laid a false trail and imputed the murder to Zeng, who was dating the victim's ex-girlfriend. Chen and Zeng were both arrested in Nov, 2003. Zeng was sentenced to death while Chen received life imprisonment. Chen was still sentenced to life imprisonment during the retrial and fined 178,000 yuan as compensation to the victim's family. You're listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Liu Yan in Beijing. Taiwan's education department has increased the quota of mainland students who want to study in a two-year program to achieve a bachelor's degree. The quota will be raised from 1,000 to 1,500 for the academic year of 2016 and 2017. The two-year program is specifically open for students who study in vocational schools but would like to proceed in higher education and obtain a bachelor's degree. Previously only students from southern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian were allowed to study in such programs in Taiwan. The department plans to add another four provinces as well as Beijing and Shanghai. The application will start in February. Compared with those in Europe and North America, colleges in Taiwan are considered a better option for vocational school graduates from the Chinese mainland. Taiwan colleges are known for the good education quality and lower tuition, as well as the convenience of being without language barrier. The new policy is a result of negotiation between the two sides after the historic meeting between President Xi Jinping and Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou in Singapore. During the meeting, Ma suggested that the two sides allow more mainland students to study in Taiwan. This is NEWS Plus Special English. A trial run has begun for China's first domestically designed and manufactured magnetic levitation line in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province. The maglev shuttles between Changsha's south railway station and the airport, with one stop in between. It takes around ten minutes to complete the 18-and-half-kilometer journey. According to the operator Hunan Maglev Transport Company, the line uses the "wind chaser" trains designed and manufactured by railway manufacturing giant CRRC in Hunan's Zhuzhou city. The 48-meter-long train can carry 363 people in three carriages, and achieve a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour. The domestically produced moderate-speed maglev line costs around 195 million yuan, roughly 30 million U.S. dollars, per kilometer, not including relocation fees. It is highly economical in terms of construction and maintenance costs. You're listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Liu Yan in Beijing. An official circular on reforming China's art and literature awards has urged that appraisals from ordinary people be included as an important parameter. The circular says appraisals from the public, artists and literati should be integrated with commercial indicators, alongside audience rating, box office and circulation. It notes that public popularity and whether the art or literature works features ordinary people's lives will be important indicators to be factored in during evaluation. The circular announces that artists or writers with notorious records or reputations will be barred from competing for awards. It also reveales that the existing 20 national art and literature awards will be reduced to 19, while a large number of their sub-categorized awards are downsized. The Ministry of Culture in April vowed to streamline the chaotic art and literature awards, blaming too many redundant awards ceremonies and appraisals for having caused irregularities and power-for-money deals. The ministry also vowes to regulate government officials' participation in competitions and awards and to forbid them for exerting any influence during award appraisals.

A 90-minute documentary about Confucius has been screened on China Central Television. The documentary was broadcast on CCTV 10, the science and education channel of the state TV. It was produced by CCTV, in cooperation with Britain's Lion TV, China International Television Corporation and the Dazhong News Group. The program told of the life of Confucius, as well as his impact on Chinese history. It was the first documentary about Confucius made by China and a foreign company. Production took two years. The documentary is comprised of six parts, namely, the man, the legend, the philosophy, the master, the inheritance and the present day. Preparation is underway for a 300-minute domestic edition of documentary in six parts. Born near the present-day town of Qufu in east China's Shandong Province, Confucius lived between 551 BC and 479 BC. He founded a school of thought that influenced later generations and became known as Confucianism. He is believed to be the first person to set up private schools in China and enroll students from all walks of life, including the poor. Confucius is regarded as a symbol of China's culture and intellectuals. There are around 1,300 Confucius temples in China and overseas. This is NEWS Plus Special English. The number of gold coins and plates unearthed from an east China ancient tomb has increased to 378, after archaeologists found another 68 pieces recently. The new finds include 20 gold plates around 22 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide. Archaeologists say it is the largest discovery of gold coins in any Han Dynasty tomb. The gold coins, most of which weigh around 250 grams each, were unearthed from the tomb of the Marquis of Haihun, in Nanchang City, the capital of east China's Jiangxi Province. The discovery supports the theory that China had significant gold reserve in the Western Han Dynasty. You're listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Liu Yan in Beijing. A film adaptation of the best-selling novel Gui Chui Deng, or "Ghost Blowing Out The Light", has received critical acclaim for its spectacular depiction of tomb raiders and afterlife. Industry sources say the scenes in "Mojin, The Lost Legend" could be an indication that the country's cinema regulators are loosening up on previously forbidden areas. "Ghost Blowing Out The Light" is a fantasy novel written by Zhang Muye about two grave robbers seeking hidden treasures. It was first published online in 2006 and quickly became the bestselling online novel in China with an estimated six million readers. When it was published in print form later the same year, it went on to sell over 500,000 copies. The novel is widely regarded as one of China's most popular works of fantasy. However, turning the work into a film script posed a massive challenge for the producers, Wanda, Huayi Brothers and Enlighten Media. According to an unwritten rule in China's movie regulations, ghosts cannot be portrayed on in movies, and raiding tombs is an illegal activity that should not be presented. However these were the two key elements which had fascinated fans. Coincidently, just three months ago, "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe", the first feature movie based on some parts of the novel, was fiercely criticized by fans for excessive rewriting of the story. In the movie made by LeTV, ghosts are portrayed as alien creatures who came to earth thousands of years ago. This is NEWS Plus Special English. Second-hand smoke exposure has dropped in China despite an increase of 15 million smokers in the past five years. A domestic smoking report has found that compared with 2010, the second-hand smoking exposure rate fell from 35 percent to 17 percent in primary and middle schools, and from 55 percent to 38 percent in government buildings. The report was released by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Second-hand smoking also dropped in workplaces, restaurants, public transport vehicles and medical institutions. Chinese smoking population has increased to 316 million, or 28 percent of the total targeted population. The smoking rate was 52 percent for males and almost 3 percent for females. That is the end of this edition of NEWS Plus Special English. To freshen up your memory, I'm going to read one of the news items again at normal speed. Please listen carefully. That is the end of today's program. I'm Liu Yan in Beijing. Hope you can join us every day at CRI NEWS Plus Radio, to learn English and learn about the world.

Longtime UCB improv/sketch/stand-up guru Will Hines begins this episode like a songbird and quickly transforms into a "Little Buddha," dispensing choice tidbits about zen and the art of motorcycle improvising.  From coping with those sleepless nights filled with anxiety to bombing in front of hundreds of people while wearing a Janet Jackson-esque headset to seeing "Baby: The Secret of the Lost Legend" in the theater when he was sixteen, Will "brings da pain" (and sweat) to this week's WORST GIG EVER.

In this episode, Mom and I review Baby: The Secret of the Lost Legend -- quite possibly the Greatest Movie EVER?
