“They weren't eating him. They were killing him.”A Harrowing Tale of Survival in the Alaskan WildernessIn 2011, director Joe Carnahan set out to create a film that would push the boundaries of the survival genre. With a script co-written by Ian Mackenzie Jeffers, based on his short story "Ghost Walker," Carnahan assembled a talented cast led by Liam Neeson to bring this harrowing tale to life. Filming took place in the harsh conditions of British Columbia, Canada, where the cast and crew faced frigid temperatures and unforgiving terrain. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off the 2013 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards Best Actor nominees series with a conversation about The Grey.Survival, Philosophy, and the Meaning of Life in the Face of DeathIn our discussion, we delve into the film's exploration of survival, philosophy, and the meaning of life. The Grey is more than just a tale of man versus nature; it's a deeply introspective journey that forces its characters to confront their own mortality and find purpose in the face of death. We analyze the powerful performances, particularly those of Liam Neeson and Frank Grillo, who bring depth and vulnerability to their roles.The film's stunning cinematography and realistic portrayal of the Alaskan wilderness are also topics of discussion. We examine how Carnahan and his team utilized a combination of practical effects, CGI, and real wolves to create a visceral and immersive experience for the audience. However, we also note some inconsistencies in the characters' clothing choices, which occasionally detract from the overall believability of the film. (At least for Pete's wife.)Other Points of InterestThe symbolism of the wolf pack and its parallel to the group of survivorsThe use of poetry as a recurring motif throughout the filmThe controversial ending and its post-credits sceneThe film's themes of masculinity, redemption, and facing one's fearsThe Grey is a film that stays with you long after the credits roll. It's a testament to the human spirit and the lengths we will go to survive in the face of overwhelming odds. Carnahan's direction, coupled with the powerful performances from the ensemble cast, makes for a gripping and emotionally charged viewing experience. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

“It'll be just like in the movies. We'll pretend to be someone else.”A Winding Road to ProductionDavid Lynch's Mulholland Dr. started life as a television pilot for ABC, but when the network passed on the project, Lynch reworked it into a feature film. The resulting movie is a surreal, non-linear exploration of the dark side of Hollywood, blending elements of mystery, romance, and psychological horror. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 2002 Film Independent Spirit Awards Best Cinematography Nominees series with a conversation about Mulholland Dr.Dreams, Illusions, and the Seedy Underbelly of TinseltownIn our discussion, we delve into the film's complex narrative structure and the various interpretations of its plot. At least how we see it. We examine how Lynch uses the concept of dreams and illusions to explore the characters' psyches and the darker aspects of the entertainment industry. The film's cinematography, nominated for a Spirit Award, is also a focal point of our conversation, as we analyze how Lynch and his team create a haunting, dreamlike atmosphere that enhances the story's themes.Unraveling the Mysteries of Mulholland Dr.The stellar performances of Naomi Watts and Laura Elena HarringThe film's origins as a television pilot and how it influences the final productLynch's refusal to explain the film's meaning and the audience's role in interpretationThe use of symbolism and recurring motifs throughout the narrativeA Mesmerizing Journey into the SubconsciousMulholland Dr. is a film that demands multiple viewings and encourages deep analysis. Its enigmatic nature and layered storytelling make it a prime example of Lynch's unique style and vision. While the movie's unconventional structure and surreal elements may not appeal to everyone, it remains a fascinating exploration of identity, dreams, and the dark side of ambition. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

"You can't trust a man's life to your little notes and pictures.”REBROADCASTChristopher Nolan's second film, Memento from 2001, caught a lot of attention on its release. The clever screenplay structure where the story unfolds both forward and backward in time creates an experience much like that of our protagonist Leonard Shelby (wonderfully played by Guy Pearce), a man suffering from anterior grade memory loss. Some people said Memento was too clever for its own good or that it was all style with little substance. Others found it to be incredibly creative with a unique story exploring the psychology of our character. No matter how you approach it, Memento is a film worth looking at in greater depth. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off our twist endings series called ‘Spoiled. Rotten?', in which we debate if a film is ruined if you already know the twist. Pete's selection is Nolan's 2001 film Memento.Here's a hint at what we talk about.What do we think of twist endings? In the world of twist endings, what are some that work for us and some that don't? Do we find Memento to be an effective example, even if the twist ending actually happens at the midway point of the chronological story? Guy Pearce is always wonderful, but it's so great seeing Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano together again right on the heels of their success with The Matrix. How much do we actually understand the story and what are our opinions about what really happened with Leonard, Sammy, and the mysterious John G? Nolan started working with Wally Pfister here as his cinematographer and David Julyan composed music. Do we like the look and music? And how much do we love this film as compared to so many who clearly hate it?It's a strong entry into our catalogue and one we're glad to have discussed. The twists hold up and we have a great time talking about them. Check it out then tune in!

“It's what I have to work with.”Adapted from the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway musical, Hedwig and the Angry Inch tells the story of an East German rock star on a journey of self-discovery. Directed by and starring John Cameron Mitchell, the film premiered at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 2002 Film Independent Spirit Awards Best Cinematography Nominees series with a conversation about Hedwig and the Angry Inch.With standout performances from Mitchell as well as Michael Pitt and Miriam Shore, Hedwig wrestles with difficult questions around gender that still resonate today. While our opinions differ on certain story elements, both agree the trailblazing musical remains an artful and subversive work.We discuss som musical numbers, the complex journeys of Hedwig, Yitzhak, and ‘antagonist' Tommy Gnosis, as well as supporting roles from Andrea Martin and Stephen Trask. Debates emerge around how the film brings its story to a close through dreamlike imagery. Both come to appreciate Hedwig even more through discussing its timeless message of self-acceptance.With weighty themes balanced with humor and rock, the film leaves much to contemplate.

“Make a sound and I'm going to drown you in the lake.”A Sundance Standout That Earned Cinematography HonorsScott McGehee and David Siegel, the directing duo behind The Deep End, began developing the project in the late 1990s. Inspired by the 1940s novel The Blank Wall by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding and the 1949 film adaptation The Reckless Moment directed by Max Ophüls, they set out to create a modern noir thriller centered around a mother's fierce love and protection for her son. With the help of cinematographer Giles Nuttgens, they crafted a visually stunning and emotionally charged film that caught the attention of the Sundance Film Festival and beyond. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 2002 Film Independent Spirit Awards Best Cinematography Nominees series with a conversation about The Deep End.A Mother's Love, a Son's Secret, and a Blackmailer's AgendaIn our discussion of The Deep End, we explore the central premise of the film – a mother who discovers a dead body and believes her son is responsible. Tilda Swinton portrays Margaret Hall, a woman who makes a quick decision to cover up the crime. As the plot progresses, a blackmailer enters the picture, complicating matters further. While we both appreciate aspects of the film, we find ourselves divided on the effectiveness of the story and Swinton's performance. The cinematography, however, remains a standout element, earning its Independent Spirit Award nomination.Other Discussion PointsThe supporting performance of Goran Visnjic as the blackmailer Alek Spera and how his character evolves throughout the filmThe film's handling of the son's sexuality and the potential consequences of his father discovering the truthThe use of Lake Tahoe as a setting and its contribution to the overall atmospherePacing issues and plot points that we found problematic or unbelievableThe Deep End is an intriguing and visually captivating thriller that sparked a lively discussion between us. While we may not see eye-to-eye on all aspects of the film, particularly Tilda Swinton's performance and the overall effectiveness of the story, we agree that the cinematography is truly remarkable and worthy of its Independent Spirit Award nomination. The film's exploration of complex themes and moral dilemmas makes it a thought-provoking watch, even if it doesn't quite hit the mark in all areas. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

“I've never understood this joke, but then I've never been to Earth.”Shooting for the Stars on a Shoestring BudgetIn 1996, writer/director Cory McAbee set out to make a wholly unique film that blended elements of science fiction, Western, comedy and musical genres. With a background in music and short films, McAbee threw everything he had into crafting the world of The American Astronaut. Shot on stark black and white 35mm film, this low-budget labor of love caught the attention of the Film Independent Spirit Awards, earning a Best Cinematography nomination. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off the 2002 Film Independent Spirit Awards Best Cinematography Nominees series with a conversation about McAbee's 2001 film The American Astronaut.Traversing the Quirky Universe of The American AstronautOur discussion launches into the film's fascinating blend of genre tropes and cinematic influences. The lo-fi special effects, particularly in depicting space travel, somehow work perfectly in the established universe. We marvel at the creative framing and cinematography that elevate the low-budget production design. The memorable musical numbers get us singing along. At the heart of the story, we explore how this space Western playfully taps into themes of masculinity and loneliness across the cosmos.Further Points of DiscussionAppreciating the authentic, understated performancesNoting the film's multitude of cinematic influencesStruggling with the underdeveloped antagonist storylineReveling in the earworm-inducing soundtrackComparing The American Astronaut to other quirky genre-bendersA Flawed but Ambitious DebutThe American Astronaut is a testament to the power of a singular creative vision. While the ending stumbles a bit in its execution, the totality of Cory McAbee's debut feature is an undeniably striking and inventive piece of independent filmmaking. The cinematography rightfully earns its place among the Film Independent Spirit Awards nominees. Despite the budgetary limitations, this is a film that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

“My grandma always said, ‘Family pulling together in times of need will make it strong.'”The Family That Eats Together: A Discussion of Soul FoodBefore Soul Food hit theaters in 1997, writer and director George Tillman Jr. struggled to get his first feature film made. After selling the script, the production company went under before filming began. Undeterred, Tillman persevered and found new backing from Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and his wife Tracey. Their shared vision brought Tillman's semi-autobiographical story to life. Soul Food went on to become a breakout hit, launching Tillman's career and sparking an ongoing debate about family, culture, and tradition.Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 1998 NAACP Image Awards Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture Nominees series with a conversation about Tillman Jr.'s 1997 film Soul Food.Digging into Family, Food, and ForgivenessIn our lively discussion, we dig into the joys and tensions of the Joseph family's Sunday dinners. We're divided on the effectiveness of young Ahmad's voiceover narration as a narrative device. The family relationships feel authentic, with standout performances from the actresses playing the three sisters – Vanessa Williams, Vivica A. Fox, and Nia Long. However, we take issue with some of the easy storytelling choices, especially regarding Lem's return to prison. The “fairy tale” ending strains believability more for Andy than Pete, but it does raise thought-provoking questions about the role of food and togetherness in absolving past wrongs.More Food for ThoughtAppreciating the film's universal messages about family bondsMama's troubling role in cultivating the family's unhealthy dietBrandon Hammond's sweet portrayal of young AhmadMichael Beach excelling with an interesting roleDirector George Tillman Jr.'s growth between this film and The Hate U GiveBringing Families TogetherSoul Food succeeds in celebrating the aspirational joy of gathering family around the table. While we question some of the storytelling choices, the performances draw us into the sprawling Joseph family. Throughout our conversation, we find plenty to chew on, from fairy tale endings to the competing pulls of past and future. It makes for a nourishing discussion worth tuning in to.

“Let's be realistic. Now, sooner or later, they're going to get around to offering me a plea deal, and you know that. That's why you are here to kill me.”Jackie Brown Rides High in Tarantino's Homage to BlaxploitationQuentin Tarantino burst onto the film scene in the 1990s with unique stylistic choices and sharp dialogue. After achieving critical acclaim for Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, Tarantino turned to Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch for his third directorial effort, Jackie Brown. Set in the seedy underworld of gun runners and bail bondsmen, Jackie Brown pays homage to 1970s blaxploitation films while putting Tarantino's signature spin on the crime thriller genre.Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our 1998 NAACP Image Awards Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture Nominees series with a conversation about Tarantino's 1997 film Jackie Brown.Fun With Time, Great Performances, and ControversyWe dive deep into Tarantino's playful use of time jumps, split screens, and flashbacks to reveal the intricacies of the heist plot. The stellar cast shines, especially Pam Grier in the title role and Robert Forster as the bail bondsman helping her out, not to mention turns by Robert De Niro, Samuel L. Jackson, Bridget Fonda, and Michael Keaton. We also touch on the controversy around Tarantino's use of the N-word.

“Memory is a selection of images, some elusive, others imprinted indelibly in the brain. The summer I killed my father, I was ten years old.”Exploring the Layers of Eve's BayouWith her moody directorial debut Eve's Bayou, independent filmmaker Kasi Lemmons immerses us in a vividly realized Louisiana bayou community in the 1960s. Through the eyes of daughter Eve Batiste, we witness the complexity of her affluent African-American family as simmering secrets threaten to tear them apart. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off our series looking at the 1998 NAACP Image Awards Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture Nominees with a fascinating discussion about Lemmons' 1997 film Eve's Bayou.Capturing the Complexities of FamilyAt its core, Eve's Bayou is a film about the intricacies of family - both its warmth and its darkness. We analyze the exceptional performances, particularly from Lynn Whitfield as the dignified matriarch and Debbi Morgan as the insightful aunt. The perspective from daughter Eve gives an intimate viewpoint on the shifting family dynamics.More to Explore in Eve's BayouSamuel L. Jackson's conflicted performance as the philandering patriarchThe talented young cast, especially lead Jurnee SmollettThemes of adultery, legacy, memory and moralityMagical realism elements with voodoo and psychic powersEve's Bayou offers no easy answers, only thoughtful examination of family bonds tested by adversity.

“He's a wily one, that ichthy-demon.”Waterworld: Sinking Budgets and Soaring SpectacleIn the early 1990s, Kevin Costner was riding high after hits like Dances with Wolves and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. He teamed up again with his Robin Hood director Kevin Reynolds for an ambitious post-apocalyptic aquatic adventure called Waterworld. With its massive scale and elaborate water-based sets, the production quickly sank into major budget overruns and production nightmares.Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 1995 Golden Raspberry Awards Worst Director Nominees series with a conversation about Reynolds' 1995 film Waterworld.Diving Into Our Waterworld ChatWe dive deep into the troubled production and how it still managed to deliver an entertaining aquatic spectacle despite going way over budget. The world building stands out, creating an immersive post-apocalyptic seafaring society even if some plot points strain believability.More Topics From Our Wide-Ranging Water ChatHow the Hollywood sheen holds it back from grittier cult classics like Mad MaxDennis Hopper's gleeful villainy as the DeaconAppreciating the rich world building and visuals despite flawsThe differences between the theatrical cut and extended Ulysses versionHow it stacks up to other Razzie nominees for Worst DirectorIn the end, we found Waterworld to be a pleasant surprise given its reputation - an ambitious and imaginative, if imperfect, seafaring adventure. Despite its behind-the-scenes troubles, it delivers aquatic action and world building that entertained us.Tune in to hear our full thoughts!

He discusses some of his early work in independent films and horror movies, explaining that the genre can allow for creative freedom visually. Lyn also touches on his collaborations with director Emma Tammi, including the recent Five Nights at Freddy's adaptation.When we dive into Magnolia, we analyze the film's unique visual style, editing, and how the different storylines weave together. We highlight standout emotional performances, especially from Tom Cruise and Julianne Moore. We also praise the film's musical interludes featuring songs written for the movie by Aimee Mann. Lyn explains how Magnolia inspired him as a young cinematographer and made him want to be part of ambitious filmmaking.With its sprawling stories, raw performances, and stunning cinematography, Magnolia is truly a modern classic. This was a fascinating discussion about both Lyn's career and one of his favorite films. We clearly had an excellent time geeking out over this towering achievement.

233: How to Remove Summer Stress Every year around this time when my kids were young, I would be thinking about how we would handle our summer plans. Which camps were they going to and when? How could I have a more relaxed schedule at work while moving projects along but also being mom? Maybe you don't have kids, but do want a more relaxed summer schedule – no matter what, listen in to this episode originally recorded in 2019. The lessons in time management and project expectations still apply. Topics Mentioned: Delegation Fractional Support Accidental Business Owner Systems Thoughts from Michele: Our industry is heavily saturated with women. We cannot do it all at the same time. Something has to give. You have to be upfront with your clients with what your summer plans are. We have to have realistic expectations. We do not want to make a decision in a vacuum. There are always trade-offs with whatever decision you make. Try to be as creative as you can. You do not have to do it the way I did it. Do what works for you. Anytime you stop marketing your business, it can take us 3 to 6 months to gain back your footing. Make a plan based on choices and decisions. Commit to the plan. Work the plan.

In Ora Nadrich's bold and compelling book, Time To Awaken: Changing The World With Conscious Awareness, she takes us on an in-depth journey to fully understand what she calls a “Great Awakening” of our times. This spiritual awakening, caused by a global pandemic that catapulted the world into a fear frenzy, created tremendous polarization and dissent, dividing the world into two groups; those who are awake to know the truth behind the fear, and those that are frozen by fear and are in an “unconscious slumber”. Using Mindfulness and emotional intelligence to navigate the extreme changes we are facing, like censorship, government over-reach, global elitism, AI and Transhumanism; Time To Awaken will give you the necessary psychological armor to resist the dangers of our current state of affairs, which are unprecedented.Time To Awaken: Changing the World with Conscious Awarenesshttps://www.amazon.com/Time-Awaken-Changing-Conscious-Awareness/dp/B0BMSZ36G6Learn More on DailyClout!https://dailyclout.io/Donatehttps://dailyclout.io/donate/Become a Member Today!https://dailyclout.io/memberships/Don't Miss Our Upcoming LIVE Webinars!https://dailyclout.io/events/Join Campaigns Now!https://campaigns.dailyclout.io/campaign/homeSearch Top Trending Billshttps://billcam.dailyclout.io/?page=1Support the show

This is an excerpt from our inaugural Spiritual Emergency Satsang given by Shunyamurti. Special Announcement: Shunyamurti is leading a New Series of Spiritual Emergency Satsangs Wednesdays at 5.30pm Costa Rica Time This is an experiment to find out your level of interest in receiving this kind of information and guidance. For an indefinite period, we will be hosting relatively weekly livestream satsangs for our Members on Wednesdays. Because of the dire situation most people on the planet will soon be facing—if they are not already—Shunyamurti has been asked to ramp up the intensity of the teachings to bring souls onto the direct pathless path to Liberation from the matrix. It is the duty of those who are awakened to offer service by remaining steadfastly in peace and equanimity during this time of extreme testing of the human spirit. May all Yogis become beacons of divine light and fearless compassion. Our function is to enable the tempest-tossed, confused, and frightened beings to take refuge in the tranquil and loving energy field of Absolute Consciousness. Shunyamurti's focus is on the attainment of full realization of the Supreme Self. His frame of reference is that of radical nonduality. But he is open to speaking about practical matters of navigating your body icon through difficult circumstances. He is also open to addressing the signifance and implications of current events on the phenomenal plane. Learn More and Become a Member Today! https://bit.ly/3oqFcCe
