https://monteschulzauthor.comBio - Acclaimed novelist Monte Schulz, son of Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, joins the show to discuss Undercity, a genre-blending fantasy-sci-fi thriller set in a hidden underground civilization.In this uncannily prescient novel eerily relevant to our contemporary political moment, Undercity unfolds across 16 interconnected vignettes, as Schulz charts the lives of two dozen characters desperately trying to survive and retain their humanity in a civil order that has tumbled into totalitarianism. Building on the world Schulz created in his highly successful book Metropolis, Undercity collects the voices of brave survivors, of those who've refused to submit to the indignities of eugenical persecution, the horror of gas chambers, and relentless warfare in rural provinces. Some of these stories demonstrate the moral disaster of eugenics, while others tell of courage and love and that indomitable magic of the human spirit that refuses to be silenced in the face of unspeakable crimes.  This sweeping tale is a warning to us, as well, that what we might think is unimaginable needs only apathy and inattention to arise. Praise for Metropolis "Eloquent, engaging, thoughtful and thought-provoking, Metropolis showcases author Monte Schulz's impressive skills as a novelist and storyteller. A modern masterpiece of literary fiction..." ― Midwest Book Review Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

An innovative mixed-use development in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood is being led by a collaboration of “great minds” and a “family that believes in a greater Chicago.” That's how JC Griffin explains Metropolis Pointe. The family that believes is his family-governed Griffin Venture Group. The great minds include Jim Rylowicz, VP and general manager at CenTrio, a provider of sustainable energy solutions. Host Phil Coover invites them both to discuss the project in this episode. JC describes Metropolis Pointe as a sustainable project that the community, environment, and Earth can be “happy about for generations.” Jim recalls listening to JC's pitch and realizing that Metropolis Pointe aligns with how CenTrio thinks about energy. “And given that alignment, it was a no-brainer to keep the conversation going.” Tune in to this conversation to hear why Axios selected Metropolis Pointe one of Chicago's top projects for 2026.Connect and Learn More☑️ Jim Rylowicz | LinkedIn☑️ CenTrio | LinkedIn☑️ JC Griffin | LinkedIn☑️ Griffin Venture Group | LinkedIn | Instagram☑️ Phil Coover | LinkedIn☑️ McGuireWoods | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | X☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon MusicThis podcast was recorded and is being made available by McGuireWoods for informational purposes only.

When the world feels heavy, polished stories stop working. The ones that land are the honest ones — the ones that start with trouble.   In this episode of The PSM Show, hosts Damion Morris and Deirdre Booth sit down with writer and strategist Joel Hoekstra for a "pull up a chair" conversation about why the best AEC stories don't begin with brilliance or technical expertise — they begin with friction, uncertainty, and what wasn't working. Joel shares how he helps marketers draw human-centered narratives out of highly technical subject matter experts, why empathy consistently beats perfection, and how the stories a firm tells (or avoids) reveal its values, culture, and client experience.   You'll hear practical ways to get past "it's just what we do," including a simple interviewing move that unlocks better detail, better clarity, and better trust: "Tell me more." Joel also breaks down why headlines matter more than most firms think, how scannable structure (subheads, bullets, formatting) increases impact, and how to build reusable story "toolkits" that support proposals without relying on boilerplate.   Plus, Joel introduces his START Story Formula — a clear framework marketers can use to shape case studies, Q&A prep, and project profiles: Situation → Trouble → Action → Result → Transformation Because the ribbon-cutting is a result — but what changes six months later is the transformation people actually remember.   Guest bio: Joel Hoekstra Joel is a Minnesota-based content-marketing strategist and writer who helps design firms tell client-centric stories that win work. He has held marketing-communications roles at several architecture firms in Minneapolis and has written extensively about design and architecture for such publications as Metropolis, This Old House, RIBA Journal, ARCHITECT, BUILDER, and American Craft.

Since 2004, Abbout has supported independent cinema and auteur films, presenting over 30 films at major international festivals like Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Toronto, and Locarno.The conversation covers the challenges of filmmaking in an unstable country, the importance of distribution and independent spaces like Metropolis, and the producer's role in protecting the director's vision while ensuring a film is made.Schoucair also reflects on international recognition, from joining the Oscars Academy to being named in Variety 500, and what these honors mean personally and for Lebanese cinema. Above all, the dialogue explores cinema as memory, identity, and cultural resistance, and reflects on the future of Lebanese film in a rapidly changing world.Join Ricardo Karam and Georges Schoucair to discover how films can transform from mere productions into cultural and artistic statements.في هذا الحوار العميق، يجلس ريكاردو كرم مع جورج شقير، المنتج السينمائي اللبناني البارز ومؤسس شركة «قبّوط للإنتاج»، في لقاء يتجاوز صناعة الأفلام كعمل تجاري ليطرحها كخيار ثقافي وفني واضح. منذ تأسيس «قبّوط» عام 2004، لعبت الشركة دوراً محورياً في دعم السينما المستقلة وسينما المؤلف، وقدّمت أكثر من 30 فيلماً في مهرجانات عالمية مرموقة مثل كان، برلين، البندقية، تورونتو، ولوكارنو.يتناول الحوار التحديات التي تواجه صناعة الأفلام في بلد غير مستقر، ويكشف عن دور التوزيع والتسويق في بناء الوعي الثقافي، وأهمية المنصات والمساحات المستقلّة مثل متروبوليس، ودور المنتج في حماية الرؤية الفنية للمخرج مع ضمان إنتاج الفيلم. كما يتحدّث شقير عن اعتراف المجتمع السينمائي الدولي بمسيرته. الأهم من كل ذلك، يناقش الحوار السينما كذاكرة وهوية، وكفعل مقاومة ثقافية يروي قصص لبنان والعالم العربي، ويستشرف مستقبل السينما اللبنانية في ظل التحولات الرقمية والاقتصادية والسياسية.انضموا إلى ريكاردو كرم وجورج شقير في لقاء يكشف كيف تتحول الأفلام من مجرد صناعة إلى فعل ثقافي وفني يعكس الهوية ويحفظ الذاكرة.

Fritz Lang's Metropolis In 1927 Cinema was still in its relative infancy. Nearly eleven years earlier D.W. Griffith had established the "grammar of cinema" with his epic masterpiece, The Birth of a Nation. The subsequent decade would showcase spectacles (Ben-Hur, Intolerance), comedies (The Gold Rush, The General), and dramatic classics (Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, The Last Laugh). Cinematic Science Fiction would be attempted as early as 1902 with Melie's A Voyage to the Moon, however it would take nearly a quarter of a century for Sci-Fi to reveal its technical brilliance and possibilities with 1927s Fritz Lang masterpiece Metropolis. While an incredibly innovative, beautiful, and groundbreaking film, Lang's narrative (from a treatment and screenplay by his wife and artistic partner, Thea von Harbou), continues - or is the beginning - of the lazy and apologetic "White Savior" cinematic trope that has continued from Lawrence of Arabia thru Dances with Wolves, and most recently, Avatar and Dune. This week Mr. Chavez & I go back to the argument that we have made before and will continue to make regarding this insulting and problemtic cinematic trope. Each generation seems to want to tell its own version of this story without recognizing the inherent hypocrisy of a society and culture victimized by the elite while simultaneously needing to be saved by a blonde-haired, blue-eyed messiah (in this case a billionaire suddenly aware of his "mediator destiny" and responsibility to his "brothers"). Yes, we recognize the technical and production brilliance of this film, while at the same time being unable to ignore (or excuse) the obvious and insulting simplicity of its narrative. It is possible to simultaneoulsy admire and take issue with a work of art. Take a listen and ask yourself if you agree. Let us know what you think.

In this episode, Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou teaches that instead of being afraid of physical dangers, believers should strengthen their trust in God and the saints, because true safety comes from faith and participating in the Church.This English translation of the sermon of His Eminence Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou was presented for otelders.org by Porphyrios. The sermon was delivered on 26 October 2020 at the Divine Liturgy on the feast of Saint Demetrios the Myrrh-Streamer, held at the patronal church dedicated to the saint in the community of Saint Dimitrios in Marathasa under the Metropolis of Morphou, Cyprus.

Dark Concrete: Black Power Urbanism and the American Metropolis (Cornell UP, 2025) by Dr. Kimberley Johnson is about how the Black Power movement reshaped urban politics in the United States—from expectations to practices. Although the national and international dimensions of the Black Power movement are often focused on, Dr. Johnson looks at the movement at the local level, highlighting Newark and East Orange, New Jersey, and Oakland and East Palo Alto, California, and three policy areas: housing, education, and policing. Dr. Johnson examines how Black Power Urbanism had its own local meanings as it was defined by local activists, neighborhood residents, parents, tenants, and others who sought to repair cities and particularly black neighborhoods that were shattered due to urban renewal and highway construction, as well as ongoing political and economic disinvestment. Dark Concrete depicts how local conditions influenced the emergence of the Black Power movement and, in turn, the ways in which these local movements reshaped urban politics, institutions, and place. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

"This looks like a job for . . . Superman!"Before George Reeves became an iconic Superman, gracing the silver screen and fighting for the rights of mole people, two serials were produced by Columbia pictures.Today we look at the second serial, which originally ran as 15 weekly chapters before a feature film. Starring Kirk Alyn as Supes, we see Luther (Lyle Talbot) blackmail the city of Metropolis as he threatens to nuke the city with the help of Atom Man (who wears a glittery stormtrooper helmet before stormtroopers existed!).

Eppure indaga, chiede, cerca – quando la professoressa Marta Deiana, bella e disinibita, i capelli rossi tagliati corti e gli occhi di caffè forte, viene trovata morta; o quando il cadavere di una donna appartenente a una delle famiglie più importanti della città viene scoperto in una cabina sulla spiaggia; ma anche quando la segnalazione del ritrovamento di un'escavatrice rubata accende in lui il sospetto che dietro un reato così semplice si possa celare una trama molto più violenta. Questo volume comprende i due romanzi di Flavio Soriga dedicati a Martino Crissanti, Neropioggia e Metropolis, insieme all'inedito Kalashnikov.Flavio Soriga, è nato a Uta, in provincia di Cagliari.

The year 2025 marked the sixth without a new Star Wars movie in theaters since The Rise of Skywalker concluded the Sequel Trilogy. In the past few years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC superhero films have struggled with consistency at reaching their prior levels of box-office earnings and fan satisfaction. We found it interesting, then, that two 2025 superhero movies – the MCU's rebooted The Fantastic Four: First Steps and DC's new iteration of Superman – showcased several prominent storytelling elements that we wish Lucasfilm had been able to incorporate into the Sequel Trilogy, as we talked about on the blog and podcast when the Sequel Trilogy was in development and production. On this episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester discuss how these two movies show the path that Star Wars missed in advancing new and important ideas for today's heroic tales. These two superhero movies have three big ideas in common that would have worked well for the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, too. First, neither First Steps nor Superman is an origin story. The titular characters, the Fantastic Four quartet and the Metropolis icon, are already established celebrity superheroes on their worlds when the movies begin. Rather than learn how to use their powers, they instead face the challenges of how to use their powers – and what to do when their powers can't solve the problem they're facing. Second, both movies are focused on themes of family and teamwork, rather than the lone-hero formula so familiar from Joseph Campbell's monomyth. The Fantastic Four has two siblings, a husband, and a best friend, and each of them has a character arc. James Gunn's Superman finds support from several superhero allies while Clark Kent relies on his colleagues at The Daily Planet to help carry the day, and his emotional journey in the films is inseparable from his connections to his birth parents on Krypton and the adoptive Kents on Earth. Third, both The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Superman are works of aspirational heroic fiction, fitting audience expectations for the characters as well as finding human truths in their themes and characterizations that urge the audience to want to be better people, too. In tandem with these analyses of the two superhero movies, we examine how the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy would have benefitted from similar storytelling elements. Star Wars contained plenty of examples for telling stories about Jedi apprentices who are already trained in the Force, rather than necessitating Rey's first movie to mirror Luke's in discovering her connection to the Force in the first instance. Similarly, the Sequel Trilogy mostly abandoned the Skywalker family saga and failed to form a consistent and coherent heroic trio like the Original and Prequel Trilogies did. The Sequel Trilogy also failed to successfully tell aspirational stories with its legacy characters or its new characters. Perhaps most importantly, the storytellers developing the Sequel Trilogy had access to plenty of precedent, both within Star Wars and in contemporary genre stories, to have been able to identify areas in which the Star Wars franchise could help to push forward new ideas and themes in today's storytelling, rather than simply repeating the old tropes and beats from the Lucas films.

I am very sorry but I have been unwell this past week. (But I am on the mend!) Multiple visits to the hospital mean that although I have the next episode recorded I have not been able to edit it. I've heard many podcasts serve up older episodes in this circumstance. Maybe an annoyance to those who have already heard all the episodes but for those who haven't since it is 2026 it's probably a good opportunity to watch Metropolis (1927) as this year is the year it was set. I have two remarkable and engaging academics speak about it. Sonja Fritzsche is a professor of German Studies and an author/editor for many books about science fiction. She has taught courses on science fiction, utopia and Metropolis. Noah Isenberg is a film historian and best-selling author. He is a professor at the University of Texas and editor of the book Weimar Cinema: An Essential Guide to Classic Films of the Era. This episode was originally released in April 2024 and was episode 5 of the podcast.  I will hopefully be back in great health soon and the new episode on First Men in the Moon will be edited for release in two weeks.

Friz Lang rodó en 1927 “Metrópolis”, una de las películas más influyentes de la historia del cine, un pilar absoluto de la ciencia ficción y del expresionismo alemán y un mito indiscutible. Lo que algunos no saben es que antes de la película existió una novela que fue el origen de esta historia. Firmada por Thea von Harbour, esposa y colaboradora de Lang, la novela se publicó por entregas antes de aparecer como libro en 1925. Ahora el texto se reedita en España ilustrado magníficamente por Tomás Hijo, ilustrador extraordinario. Con Tomás hablamos hoy de este trabajo en La Torre de Babel.“Metrópolis” retrata una realidad diferente, como también lo hace en cada una de sus novelas la escritora argentina Fernanda García Lao, que juega con un lenguaje riquísimo a construir imágenes potentes con un enfoque físico y político en sus historias. Fernanda desafía en cada libro las formas tradicionales del relato para incomodar al lector. Su última novela, “Estación Saturno” sigue el camino abierto por las anteriores y de ella hablamos esta tarde antes de su visita a Zaragoza.

The Return of Kara Zor-El and BDSMDarkness has now invaded Metropolis, with hero-bashing radio host Gordon Godfrey being its first [perverted] victim. Kara makes a very public and over-the-top return as a new superhero, and tells Clark he's a terrible son that's been disowned by Jor-El. Lois goes undercover to expose Godfrey's dark side (wink-wink). Oliver, still depressed over Chloe's absence, wrestles with a very big decision (no, not hookers). Laura Vandervoort returns as DC Comics original character Kara Zor-El, a.k.a. Supergirl.Michael Daingerfield (Sausage Party, Dreamcatcher) makes his first appearance as DC Comics original character Gordon Godfrey.As always, enjoy the show and LEAVE THOSE FIVE STARS!

Metropolis: een dystopische blik op 2026 en De gasvlam als thuisgevoel    (01:36) Wil Trump in Venezuela doen wat de VS in 1989 in Panama deden, toen de strijd tegen drugs werd gebruikt om de toenmalige president van Panama af te zetten? Te gast is Edwin Koopman, Latijns-Amerika journalist en VPRO-collega (Bureau Buitenland).  (20:14) De film Metropolis uit 1927, over een futuristische stad waarin een hevige klassenstrijd wordt gevoerd. En regisseur Fritz Lang liet de film afspelen in het jaar 2026. Wat voor beeld wordt er van ons heden geschetst? Te gast is mediawetenschapper Dan Hassler-Forest.  (42:55) Het thuisgevoel is niet zo vanzelfsprekend als het lijkt. Dat gevoel is ook gemaakt, bijvoorbeeld met de gasvlam en het koken daarop. Religiewetenschapper en etnoloog Ernst van den Hemel schreef voor de bundel ‘Venster op thuis' de bijdrage ‘De gasvlam als thuisgevoel' en is te gast.  (52:25) Elke week bespreken we historische tips met afwisselend Nadia Bouras, Wim Berkelaar, Bart Funnekotter, Sanne Frequin, en Fresco Sam-Sin.

Now, sit back, knuckle up with a Buffalo Nickel from Wren House Brewing, and smuggle all the sweet goods from the White Portuguese! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are hopping over to Metropolis to drink Lex Luthor dry. This Week's Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – Son of Krypton versus Bat of Gotham!

2025 has been the Year of Superman, and Missing Frames has been celebrating James Gunn's new film by sitting down with some of the writers, artists, and actors who help make the Man of Steel so special. Past conversations have included comic legends Dan Jurgens, Mark Waid, Tom King, and Phillip Kennedy Johnson, reflections on Richard Donner's iconic film with Lauren Shuler Donner, and even a chat with Ma Kent herself, Neva Howell.Today's guest is another incredible talent: Jonah Lees, who appears in Superman as Dean Farr, one of Lex Luthor's LuthorCorp cronies, alongside his real-life twin brother, Christian. But Jonah's career extends far beyond Metropolis. A highlight of the conversation is his work with Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke on Blue Moon, as well as his recent portrayal of John Lennon in the Brian Epstein biopic Midas Man. An actor, songwriter, musician, and director, Jonah is a multifaceted creative whose range is as impressive as it is exciting. What begins as a Superman celebration quickly becomes a love letter to many shared passions: Superman, Richard Linklater, and The Beatles.
