And our Was (not Was) odyssey comes to an end with the glory years of What Up, Dog? and Walk The Dinosaur alongside working with Elvis Costello, Roy Orbison and Frank Sinatra Jr.7. WHAT UP, DOG? (1986-88)A two year process begun with a rejected album by Geffen.

Suspense Fiction Mystery and Detective Stories “No man truly fears a woman. Not even one who is her father’s daughter. The case was sensational. Kaylee Pierson had confessed from the very beginning, waived all appeals. She had called herself “death,” but people called her the devil. Despite the media’s chronicling of her tragic circumstances-the childhood spent with a violent father-no one could find sympathy for “the Beautiful Butcher” who had led eighteen men home from bars before viciously slitting their throats. Now, with only twenty-one days left to live, Pierson has finally received a lead on the whereabouts of the sister who was kidnapped over a decade ago, and she needs Frankie’s help to find her. The Beautiful Butcher’s offer: When was the last time your search ended with finding the living? Unable to resist the chance for a rescue, Frankie takes on Pierson’s request. Twelve years ago, five-year old Leilani went missing in Hawaii. The main suspect? Pierson’s tech mogul ex-boyfriend, Sanders MacManus. Now, on a remote island in the middle of the Pacific-the site of MacManus’s latest vanity project-fresh evidence has appeared. In order to learn the truth and possibly save a young woman’s life, Frankie must go undercover at the isolated base camp. Her challenge: A dozen strangers. Countless dangerous secrets. Zero means of calling for help. And then the storm rolls in…”– Provided by publisher. Unrated. Commercial audiobook.

Last Friday, January 26th, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued its provisional ruling in South Africa's case against Israel, ruling that there is a “significant risk of Genocide” in Gaza. Both supporters of Palestine and Israel have declared the outcome of the case as a victory, while there has been disappointment that there was no order for an immediate and total ceasefire. So what are we to make of the ICJ's ruling? Can we expect Israel to change its behaviour? And if not, what must we do to force them to? With us to help us answer these questions is Dr. Thomas MacManus, Senior Lecturer in State Crime at Queen Mary University London and Acting Director of the International State Crime Initiative (ISCI). Tom is an expert in international law and was able to explain and contextualise the ICJ's ruling for us, while remaining focused on what the rest of us – ie. those concerned about the situation in Palestine – can and must do now.Following this, Helen, Glen & Matt expand a bit of some of the key arguments from the interview, and get into a discussion about Palestine and the utility of international law, while also trying to point a hopeful way forward for the pro-Palestinian movement and the people of Gaza.Outro Music: Issam Hajali - Khobs Support the show

If ever there was a need for a single definition of the novel's function, it may well be to establish an architecture around characters that leads them directly to unique moral quandaries. These shorts of choices are ultimately what drives some of the greatest novels.  And what better framework than war to create situations that lead characters towards real perplexity? After all, it consists of two sides fighting for what both believe to be right, with outcomes involving ruin, destruction and death.  Now throw in the fact that the novel may or may not be based on true events, perhaps embellished by the novelist's pen but ultimately rooted in history, and you find that the membrane between fact and fiction becomes very porous indeed. My guest today is the novelist James MacManus who is a former journalist, a correspondent for the Guardian in Africa and the Middle East. Currently, he's also the Managing Director of The TLS (The Times Literary Supplement), an august weekly literary review. During his time in Africa, he covered the Zimbabwe War for Independence, and his sixth novel “Love in a Lost Land”, is based on these experiences in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, at a time of guerrilla warfare. It's a very authentic read which looks at both sides of the conflict and features a love story that bridges those factions. The setting brings to life the work of a journalist in a perilous environment and the plot created moral quandaries that were reminiscent, to me, of Graham Greene novels. A list of books mentioned in the interview: Favourite Book That I've Never Heard Of: “Love Lessons” by Joan Wyndham Best Book That James Read in the Last 12 Months: “A Moveable Feast” by Ernest Hemingway The Book That He Finds Over-Rated: The works of William Faulkner The Book That He Would Take To A Desert Island: “The Rattle Bag”, an anthology of poems compiled by Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes The Book That Changed His Mind: “Kon-Tiki” by Thor Heyerdahl

It's fascinating to see how much of what we talked about has since come to pass.My guest this week is a business woman, broadcaster, curator, tastemaker and DJ. She headlines festivals, hosts one of BBC Radio 1's flagship shows, was Europe's biggest female DJ and has her own hit podcast Changes with Annie Macmanus. And now, as if that wasn't e-bloody-nough (bc let's not forget the two kids), Annie has written her first novel, Mother Mother. Oh and she's cool. And nice. (In the best possible way. Not in the I'm too lazy to think of a proper adjective kind of way.)Over the next 45 minutes, Annie talks about the unexpected impact of turning 40, growing up with her fans and why middle aged women are a force to be reckoned with. Although this was recorded before she resigned from her job hosting Radio 1's flagship show, she's candid about saying goodbye to DJing and how it feels to start again professionally, why she's a control-fan and how she learnt to be comfortable in her own skin. Plus she gives me a lesson in radical no-ness!You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at Bookshop.org, including the book that accompanies this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too by Sam Baker and Mother Mother by Annie Macmanus.The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Emily Sandford.

Frances Joyce has lived a life defined by a love that transcends time, but also by the haunting memories of a tragic loss. From cradle to the grave, she believed she was destined to be with the one person who held her heart completely—Adam. Their story began like any other young love, innocent and full of hope until fate intervened in a way no one could have predicted.Over nine years ago, a devastating bus crash claimed the lives of forty-six students, two chaperones, and the driver. Among them, the love of Frances' life, Adam, was the only fatality. Unbeknownst to the world, Sabrina had chosen their seat on the bus, forever intertwining their lives and fates.Since that tragic day, Sabrina's existence has been transformed into a tribute to the life they never got to share. She clings to the memories they had and the dreams they had once cherished. Her heart, still shackled to the past, struggles to move on, even though she knows she must.But everything changes when Sabrina's co-worker, Clay Templeton, discovers her sleeping at Adam's grave. Clay, touched by her grief, persuades her to join a grief support group. Reluctant but feeling she has no other choice, Sabrina begins to attend the group meetings. Here, she learns that loss is a personal journey shared by many, that her pain is not exclusive, and that healing can come from unexpected places.However, just as Sabrina starts to find some solace in this newfound community, the announcement of a new high school construction project brings forth an unexpected storm. Dr MacManus, the new superintendent, deems Adam's memorial as "a painful reminder of a tragic accident" and has it removed. Moreover, he pressures Sabrina to move to a middle school in the district, threatening her position as a teacher.Suspecting foul play in the timing of these events, Sabrina decides to stand up against Dr MacManus. In doing so, she stumbles upon secrets that have the power to unravel lives and destroy the fragile semblance of healing her grief support group has achieved.In the face of guilt, grief, and loss, Sabrina is forced to confront her own vulnerability and strength. "Everything in Between" is not only a tale of heartbreak but also a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Frances Joyce's story explores the profound impact of love and loss, and our ability to survive, adapt, and find hope in even the darkest moments of life. Hosted on Acast.

Annie Macmanus is a voice we've been hearing for twenty years. First as a presenter and tastemaker for the UK's biggest dance music radio show, as a festival headlining DJ, as host of her podcast ‘Changes with Annie Macmanus', and now as an author of her best-selling novel ‘Mother Mother'. Reaching the pinnacle of success with a relentless schedule headlining a 2am show in Ibiza every week before flying back in the morning to present her daily radio show, it took the pandemic lockdowns for Annie to realise she wanted something completely different from her life. So she started again. This conversation explores her decision to check in with herself and walk away from a 17 year career at the BBC to explore her passions of writing and podcasts.

Mark MacManus is one of those people you just know instantly is a good and gentle soul. And what that really highlights is that addiction doesn't discriminate. That it can swoon in and take the hand and heart of absolutely anyone.. and what a shadow they can become. Recovery is one hell of a battle and rarely a straight line, so it seems. I was blessed to hear Mark share his own personal story. Of falling, of getting back up, of falling but of never giving up.  Now Mark is dedicated to being a beacon of hope for those who need it in their own journey through addiction.   EPISODE SPONSOR | SCOPE (AUST) LTD Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/scopeaust/ LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/company/scope-aust/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/scopeaust Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scopeaust/ TIFFANEE COOK Linktree:  https://linktr.ee/rollwiththepunches/ Website: www.rollwiththepunches.com.au LinkedIn:  www.linkedin.com/in/tiffaneecook/ Facebook:  www.facebook.com/rollwiththepunchespodcast/ Instagram:  www.instagram.com/rollwiththepunches_podcast/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/tiffaneeandco See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For Cooper it's a paint-by-numbers action movie with characters who have NOT aged well, but for Nolan (who was told he was Irish for the first 36 years of his life) it's an emotional journey through the very fabric of his identity. There's also bad jokes, bad accents, and all kinds of bad decisions, which can only mean one thing - the MacManus boys are back!

Boondock SaintsWelcome to The Guys Review, where we review media, products and experiences. **READ APPLE REVIEWS**Boondock SaintsWritten/Directed by Troy DuffySoundtrack by Troy Duffy's band, The Brood/The Boondock SaintsStarring Willem Dafoe, Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, David Della Rocco, Billy ConnollyReleased January 21, 2000 (only 5 theaters, and for only 7 days)Budget: $6M ($9.1M in 2021)Box Office: $30,471 ($30,4287 in 2021) in 5 theatres, eventually generated $50M in domestic video sales.Gross: Technically a flop, but made it back due to cult status.Ratings:   IMDb 7.8/10 Rotten Tomates 28%Metacritic 44% Google Users 98%Plot:We open in a church, with a priest finishing the Lords prayer. Sean Patrick Flanery's Murphy and Norman Reedus' Connor MacManus are shown to be praying, with a voice over talking about vengeance, when the priest began talking about the story of Kitty Genovese, that the biggest fear is the indifference of good men. as the credits roll, we learn about the brothers, that they work at a meat plant, and prank each other. See the Boston highlights. The brothers are put in charge of a new employee, a large woman, who takes offence to Connor referencing the rule of thumb, and Connor suggests it should've been the rule of wrist. Murphy suggests its a joke, since it's St Patricks Day. She kicks Connor in the groin, Murphy punches her. We briefly see the derelict apartment they live in, flash to the pub they hang out at and introduced to David Della Rocco with an on-screen fact sheet: Boston Italian Mafia, Yakavetta Family, and a package boy/numbers runner. Doc informs everyone he's having to close the bar down, and gives some incorrect proverbs, when Ivan Checkov, Russian Crime Syndicate, soldier, says the bar will shut down now. The brothers try and defuse the situation, and Ivan threatens them. Fade to black.S:-Docs proverbs: People in glass houses sink sh-sh-ships, A penny saved is worth two in the bush, isn't it? Don't cross the road if you can't get out of the kitchen.-Very fun way of establishing characters-Troy Duffy wanted people to know they were brothers before they ever even spokeFade back in to police presence and "next day" on screen. Greenley proposes two scenerios the guys could've been killed as we're introduced to FBI Agent Paul Smecker, of the Organized Crime Task Force. Smecker ridicules him for his Huge Guy theory and Serial Crusher theory, and send him for coffee. He puts in his head phones and works out the crime scene to an opera ariea. He correctly predicts the bullets, and the detectives notice when he touches the uniformed officer. He explains how this crime was obviously one of personal connections. Cut to the hospital, Doc tells the brothers an FBI agent was looking for them, and they said they'd go talk to them anyway as it was self defence. Smecker briefs the police, Greenly makes another wrong prediction as the brothers stagger in. Smecker is about to start the interview, they speak to each other in another language and decide to tell him about the guns and money. Smecker asks about the victims bandages, and we flash back to the night before. Insults are traded and a HUGE fight ensues. They show Ivan tied to the bar and his butt set on fire. It cuts to the brothers waking up the next day and the Russians breaking in to their apartment. Ivan tells Connor he wanted to kill him, but is going to kill his brother instead. Which sends him into a rage, pulling up the toilet he is handcuffed to. As Ivan has Murphy on his kness, the toilet strikes Ivan, and Connor lands on the other Russian. Murphy takes all the valuables, and Connor to safety. Cut back to them talk to Smecker, in different languages. The police give their statement they're not charging the MacManus brothers, as they go back in Rocco comes with clothes, that they're glad to receive.S:-Notice how put together Smecker is, 3 piece suit, coat,-Why is it ONLY Smecker? I thought most FBI agents are partnered.-This is the ONLY scene he listens to opera music on scene.-Love Greenly and how bad it is.-The toilet is obviously fake, the whole bottom is cut out so he can see where he's carrying it. Also, if he jumped from the 5th floor... even onto someone, you're breaking a femur at least.-Director told Sean Patrick Flanery not to help Norman Reedus help pick him up.-At the press conference, Smecker is just in the 3 piece suit nowThe brothers, while asleep in the prison, have a shared dream, cutting in the priest from earlier (the indifference of good men) and Billy Connollys voice, "Whosoever shed man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed. For in the image of God made He man." They wake up and give each other knowing glances. When they walk out, all the cops are excited to see them. Connor returns a call the Russian pager received and got the name of a Hotel. Rocco goes into an office, where Ron Jeremy's Vincenzo Lapazzi, an underboss for the Yakavetta family, teases and taunts him. Sitting across the table is Giuseppi Yakavetta, "Pappa Joe," Mafia Don of the Yakavetta family, looking comatose. He comes alive, and tells Rocco to tell him a joke... Which is WILDLY inappropriate... Connor and Murphy are in some sort of armary and begin going through and picking out their weapons, and arguing about whether or not they need rope. The brothers are shown walking the streets of Boston, then in an elevator. Connor asks Murphy if he's nervous, when he says a bit... and they start preparing, fade to black.S:-Funny Man's joke... wow... Totally forgot about that.-Wall of armory: "While the wicket stand confounded, call me, with thy saints surrounded"-Love the 50's style dreamy music in the armory Phone rings and we see Smecker in bed with a guy who keeps trying to cuddle with him as he talks. Smecker doesn't cuddle... We cut to him walking in a room with a BUNCH of dead bodies. Greenly misses Smeckers question about how many bodies, and questions the other detectives about motive. There is some exposition about the reasoning they used pennies over the eyes, how and why they shot the fat guy in the manner in which they did. As Smecker wraps up, talking about 8 well aimed shots and has to be two people. Flash back to the brothers finishing a prayer, they start crawling through the air vents and we see the previously seen dead fat guy, Yuri Petrova: Russian Crime Syndicate Boss, in a meeting with the other victims. As the brothers crawl, and start to realize they're lost, Yuri is railing on the other guys in the room. The brothers start to argue and fight, when the air vent collapses under them, into the room, they're dangling upside down, and shoot all the guys in the room, saving the fat man for last, and what is arguably the most famous part of the movie, their family prayer: PLAY MUSIC. They then go around, crossing arms, and laying pennies on eyes, killing those who aren't already dead. Cut back to Smecker, realizing the killers aren't professionals. Back to the brothers talking about how easy it was, and how good they are. As they check the money, the door buzzes and they see its Rocco... and they decide to fuck with him. They scare him, and realize his boss may have sent him on a suicide mission. They revel themselves, and Rocco can't believe it. Flash back to Smecker and talking about how these are super high up crime bosses, and that it could be the beginning of an international gang war.S:-Willim Dafoes river dance, also notice, an unbuttoned two button suit, and coat gets removed...-"There are 9 bodies, and 6 shots, what were you going to do, laugh the last two to death, funny man?!"-The upside down shoot out is the most famous scene from this whole movie... It's awesome, but Matrix did it a year before in 1999.-The word Fuck is used 246 times in the movie, MacManus brothers and Rocco sitting around talking about why they started doing what they're doing, lots of exposition. Into a montage of them drinking, which ends with Rocco slamming his hand down, and killing the cat. The next day, Connor and Rocco go to have a smoke, Connor suggests he was set up, Rocco doesn't like it. Murphy joins, and agrees with Connor, Rocco gets pissed and leaves. They're shown nervously waiting by the phone when Rocco calls, has a strange conversation, and some women arrive at Roccos apartment. Everything is quiet, when Rocco comes busting in and saying they have to go, realizing he was set up. Flash back to Roccos original call on his side. He cooly walks into Lakeview Luch, he talks to two guys who confirm he was setup. Flash back to them leaving the apartment, Rocco asks them to stop in front of the Sin Bin, he wants to kill Lapazzi, when they realize they don't have a system, that the first two fell in their laps. Rocco wants to be that guy, since he knows everyones business. Cuts to night and we see Lapzzi showing up to the strip club. They all three go in. They tease Rocco about his mask, and charge in. Fade to black then Smecker coming through the same door. It cuts back and forth, from the shooting and Smecker trying to figure out what happened. Lapazzi was the obvious mark, but why the two extra victims. Greenly finally makes a contribution, they're bad guys, now they're dead bad guys. Immediately messes it up by telling him about the "not related" shooting downtown... As Smecker is leaving, he realizes the shooter crossed his arms to fire, Rocco exclaims, "Wyatt Fuckin Erp!" and Smecker says, "looks like we got us a cowboy.
" As they walk out, Rocco asks to learn the prayer, when they tell him it's a family prayer, from their fathers, fathers, father.S:-Troy Duffy wrote this because he saw a drug dealer taking money off a corpse across the hall of his apartment.-Love the music during Roccos shooting scene-The two other victims were from deleted scenes.-"good shooting, shitty shooting" In the Lakeview crime-scene, Smecker and the detectives work through the crime. Don of the Yakavetta goes to see an old boss, and we're introduced to "Il Duce" or the Duke. Its made very clear how dangerous he is. We then see he makes parole. Rocco tells about the worst guy he's ever met, and we follow him as he kills a whole family. They plan on killing him, and the rest at their weekly poker game. Cut to Smecker and the detectives at the aftermath. Flash back to the guys getting ready, with Smecker actually with them as the hit occurs. Through the garage, kidnapping the wife, and in to the poker game. Connor holds Murphy back, and wanted to let Rocco do the kill himself. Murphy rolls him a pool ball to help him out. Smecker has totally lost it, and explains what they encountered, incorrectly, outside the house. IT WAS A FIREFIGHT!! Smecker is conducting during the shooting, Il Duce hits Roccos finger, Connor in the leg, and takes a bullet to his arm/shoulder. Greenly correctly predicts one guy with six guns. When Smecker realizes they've used ammonia, he breaks down, to ultimately find Roccos finger, which he takes. The guys are then shown cauterize their wounds. Rocco wants to kill Smecker, but he isn't to be touched, since he's a good man. Smecker runs the fingerprint, and recalls seeing him bringing the MacManus brothers clothes early on. The brothers go to chuch and Rocco sees Smecker stumble out onto the street and follows him into the church. Rocco goes into the confessional with the priest, Connor pulls Roccos head through the screen and will kill him if he hurts Smecker... Smecker has an ethical dilemma. He is told "the laws of God are higher than the laws of man"...and sends Smecker on his path.S:-Does ammonia actually make blood samples unusable? The guys call Smecker and give him a description of Il Duce. The old crime boss tells Smecker Yakavetta has all the guns at his house, which we cut to, and they've caught them trying to sneak in the basement. They've obviously been beat. Papa Joe kills Rocco. The brothers are pissed, Papa Joe says he's going to take care of Il Duce, Connor is showing to be breaking Murphys wrist to slip out of the cuffs. Then Smecker arrives... Dressed in drag. Smeckers wig falls off and he's forced to shoot him... After he does, he says, "too far... too far" but is committed. "It's on now." He finds on of the goons throat slit, and is hit from behind by Il Duce. As he sneaks up on the brothers, he hears their prayer, and finishes it, laying his hands on them. 3 Months Later Yakavetta is on trial, and we're shown how Greenly and Smecker and working with the MacManus family now. They bust in the court room, no masks, and Il Duce gives an epic monologue and marks their introduction to the world. They state their purpose, not to protect the innocent, but to kill the evil, and corruption. With Papa Joe on his knees, they say the prayer and kill him.
