Michael Crichton is probably most famous for penning the novel that would go on to became 1993's Jurassic Park and the subsequent Park/World sequels. And in light of that a whole lot of different attempts have been made to adapt his work some before, like Westworld and some after like Westworld. Over the next three weeks we're going to take a look at some of the lesser known and lesser successful adaptations, starting with 1995's Congo.

Lee and Daniel are joined in this episode by their friend Jack Graham, who co-hosts the I Don't Speak German podcast with Daniel, to talk about "Rising Sun" (1993), directed by Philip Kaufman, and based on the novel by Michael Crichton. The film follows Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes as they navigate Japanese culture, while trying to solve a murder, in ways that sometimes make Mickey Rooney's yellow face performance in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" look somewhat tame in comparison. Is there anything to salvage from this outdated trainwreck? Is the Crichton novel any better? The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. Thankfully no racist Japanese accents were used in the recording of this podcast, but a few bad Connery impressions might have slipped by the edit.

I Found Her Like That Jailhouse Calls Expose Stephan Sterns' Shifting Story In Soto Case

"I Found Her Like That": Jailhouse Calls Expose Stephan Sterns' Shifting Story In Soto Case STEPHAN STERNS: “I wish I had run downstairs and shaken her awake and called 911 and all that.” That line—staggering in its simplicity—is one of the first real cracks in the story Stephan Sterns has told from the very beginning. It came during a jailhouse call with his parents, and it was a total deviation from what he's claimed all along: that he dropped off 13-year-old Madeline Soto at school the morning of February 26, 2024, and never saw her again. But now, months after his arrest, locked in the Osceola County jail and speaking a little too freely, Sterns admitted something huge—he found Madeline's body. He was there. He saw her face, her blue lips. Her ice-cold skin. His words were calm, almost rehearsed. Like he was recounting a scene in a book he'd read, not describing the death of a child he'd allegedly assaulted and murdered. “She had gone to be with me earlier in the night,” he told his father. “But I'd left her alone for quite a while... By the time I realized it was far too late... she was past the point of no return.” That's the first time Sterns has publicly acknowledged being in the same house with Madeline at the time of her death. It's also the first time he's stopped pretending he wasn't. In these four hours of recorded jail calls—recently obtained by Court TV—we hear Sterns move from denial to vague admissions, surrounded by justifications, sidesteps, and increasingly disturbing commentary. It's like eavesdropping on a man who can't quite decide whether he wants to clear his name or just shift the blame somewhere more convenient. The calls, made about three months after his arrest, are with his parents—Debra and Chris Sterns. And while they start off as the kind of supportive, if awkward, chats you'd expect from shell-shocked parents trying to hold it together, they quickly devolve into something else: uncomfortable reminders of what Stephan Sterns is accused of. When they bring up the digital evidence—the sexually explicit images of Madeline found on his phone—his response isn't what you'd expect from someone who claims innocence. When asked directly if he's attracted to minors, he doesn't say no. He says he isn't “generally” attracted to them. He adds that he can't say more without incriminating himself. Then he makes this chilling remark: that Madeline had “feelings” for him. And that her mother, Jenn Soto, used to joke: “You better not leave me for my daughter when she's older.” Jenn Soto hasn't been charged with anything related to Madeline's abuse or death. She says she didn't know it was happening. But she did allow her daughter to sleep in the same bed as Sterns, something she's admitted. Sterns' calls are full of odd priorities. While facing over 60 counts of sexual abuse, capital murder, and possession of child sexual abuse material, he spends a surprising amount of time venting about itchy blankets, bad coffee, and jailhouse ants.

"I Found Her Like That": Jailhouse Calls Expose Stephan Sterns' Shifting Story In Soto Case

STEPHAN STERNS: “I wish I had run downstairs and shaken her awake and called 911 and all that.” That line—staggering in its simplicity—is one of the first real cracks in the story Stephan Sterns has told from the very beginning. It came during a jailhouse call with his parents, and it was a total deviation from what he's claimed all along: that he dropped off 13-year-old Madeline Soto at school the morning of February 26, 2024, and never saw her again. But now, months after his arrest, locked in the Osceola County jail and speaking a little too freely, Sterns admitted something huge—he found Madeline's body. He was there. He saw her face, her blue lips. Her ice-cold skin. His words were calm, almost rehearsed. Like he was recounting a scene in a book he'd read, not describing the death of a child he'd allegedly assaulted and murdered. “She had gone to be with me earlier in the night,” he told his father. “But I'd left her alone for quite a while... By the time I realized it was far too late... she was past the point of no return.” That's the first time Sterns has publicly acknowledged being in the same house with Madeline at the time of her death. It's also the first time he's stopped pretending he wasn't. In these four hours of recorded jail calls—recently obtained by Court TV—we hear Sterns move from denial to vague admissions, surrounded by justifications, sidesteps, and increasingly disturbing commentary. It's like eavesdropping on a man who can't quite decide whether he wants to clear his name or just shift the blame somewhere more convenient. The calls, made about three months after his arrest, are with his parents—Debra and Chris Sterns. And while they start off as the kind of supportive, if awkward, chats you'd expect from shell-shocked parents trying to hold it together, they quickly devolve into something else: uncomfortable reminders of what Stephan Sterns is accused of. When they bring up the digital evidence—the sexually explicit images of Madeline found on his phone—his response isn't what you'd expect from someone who claims innocence. When asked directly if he's attracted to minors, he doesn't say no. He says he isn't “generally” attracted to them. He adds that he can't say more without incriminating himself. Then he makes this chilling remark: that Madeline had “feelings” for him. And that her mother, Jenn Soto, used to joke: “You better not leave me for my daughter when she's older.” Jenn Soto hasn't been charged with anything related to Madeline's abuse or death. She says she didn't know it was happening. But she did allow her daughter to sleep in the same bed as Sterns, something she's admitted. Sterns' calls are full of odd priorities. While facing over 60 counts of sexual abuse, capital murder, and possession of child sexual abuse material, he spends a surprising amount of time venting about itchy blankets, bad coffee, and jailhouse ants. He's worried about the effects of jail on his skin. He complains about anxiety meds, wants better lotion for his worry lines, and he misses his collectible purple dragon popcorn bucket. He's genuinely concerned about the whereabouts of his “mouse droid”—a Star Wars-themed toy—and gets so irritated trying to explain what it is that he tells his parents to just “Google it.” Then there's the coffee.

Movie reviews #49 coming in hot today.
Just 5 70's movies to review, sooooo let's review the review.
1. (The Andromeda Strain 1971) Epic movie Director Robert Wise is at the helm here, with a movie Based on a Michael Crichton novel way before it was a 90's standard thing to do. 
That statement is dead wrong though, there are 9 MC novels or short stories adapted into films in the 70's, 3 in the 80's, and 7 in the 90's. I think it's only because Jurassic Park had the hype of like 6 70's movies, shit, I dunno. This movie is about a deadly element from space, SCIENCE, and a real cool facility that gives you paper clothes.
2. (Boxcar Bertha 1972) Not to jump the shark but I think this one's easy, we all agree that we love Bertha, but not so much this early Martin Scorsese film. Barbara Hershey rules, also Bill of Kill Bill, and the history teacher of Bill and Ted are here. 
3. (In this house of Brede 1975) Don't yuk this bizarre recovering catholic's yum, but here we have Diana Ring as Nun, say no more!
ok just a bit more she is a woman who is sick of all the shitty men and bullshit and goes to the convent to get away from it all and do rad shit in peace, apparently I should read the book too.
4. (Death on the Nile 1978) I'm sorry but I do love me some Peter Ustinov, He is Agatha Christie's Poirot here, along with flippin every one else.
Mia Farrow, Bette Davis, Miss murder she done sat down and wrote, David Niven, Jack Warden, and Professor McGonagall, to name a few. 
This time they are on a boat not a train.
5. (Birth of the Beatles 1979) Waited for the encore tv airing of this so I could record it with a video cassette that I had bought. This one hugely influenced me to want to play music. Wonderful to finally see this again with friends and review. This movie is from the director of Return of the Jedi. 
we out, thanks for listening.

This week on the BFG podcast, Stephen Garrett is stateside to offer his totally objective opinion on this year's Oscar nominees. He and Neal Pollack get into it right away because Stephen insists that 'Emilia Perez' is an actual Oscar contender. Neal insists that there has never been a more canceled movie in Oscar movie. Everyone hates Emilia Perez. Neal is convinced that Timothée Chalamet is going to win best actor, though Stephen asks him to throw on the brakes. They both think that Demi Moore is going to win Best Actress, the closest we get to a sure thing this year. The Oscars are actually kind of a tossup, Neal and Stephen know more than the average person but also no more than anyone else. Get in your bathrobe, pour some wine, and watch along with us.A couple of Max (HBO?) shows are on the table this week. Matthew Ehrlich is here to dish with Neal about the incredible Season 3 from 'The White Lotus'. Who is going to die? What's up with Patrick Schwarzenegger's abs and Parker Posey's accent? What is Lisa from BlackPink doing here? Where did Greg get all his money? Why do we talk about this show like these are real people? The White Lotus is so back!As far as real people go on TV, they don't get any realer than the people on 'The Pitt,' Max's hit medical drama that is so much like ER, it stars Noah Wyle and was basically created by the same team, minus Michael Crichton. Paula Shaffer, sounding fabulous, joins Neal on the podcast to discuss this new frontier of "competence porn." It is gripping and emotional. They have their favorite doctors. Paula likes Noah Wyle, who doesn't, but is also partial to intern Trinity. Neal is considering spraining his ankle or something just to have a few minutes getting to know Dr. McKay. This show is so realistic, it almost makes you want to go to the emergency room. In Pittsburgh. Almost.Enjoy the podcast!

Guest: Bobby Kotick, former CEO of Activision Blizzard; and Bing Gordon, general partner at Kleiner PerkinsIn 2020, when President Trump signed the executive order that would ban TikTok in the U.S., Bobby Kotick called his old friend Steven Mnuchin. The former Secretary of the Treasury told him that, if TikTok's U.S. operations were to be sold to an American company, Microsoft would be the only bidder.A couple calls later, he reached ByteDance founder and CEO Zhang Yiming, who said he'd rather sell to Bobby than Microsoft. Concerned about his ability to get the deal done solo, Bobby called Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and offered to make a joint bid. Nadella declined, but added, “ if the deal doesn't get done, we should sit down and talk about us buying Activision.” TikTok currently remains Chinese-owned, but three years later, Microsoft paid $75 billion for Activision Blizzard.Chapters:Mentioned in this episode: Harvard-Westlake School, Alison Ressler, Vivendi, Berkshire Hathaway, Bruce Hack and Arnaud de Puyfontaine, John Riccitiello and EA, Call of Duty, Bizarre Creations, Atari, Apple II, Commodore 64, Jean-Louis Gassée, Apple Lisa, Howard Lincoln, Philips, Magnavox Odyssey, Sutter Hill Ventures, Infocom and Zork, Toys-R-Us, Howard Hughes, E.

A new book by the acclaimed neuroscientist Lisa Genova is always a big event. Genova, best known for her best-selling 2007 novel, Still Alice, has a new novel out this week, More or Less Maddy, which follows a 20-year-old aspiring stand-up comedian who is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The protagonist, Maddy, grows up in affluent suburban Connecticut with a father who disappeared when she was young, leaving mysterious boats stranded on their front lawn – a hint at his own undiagnosed bipolar disorder. In our conversation, Genova emphasizes the importance of accurate representation in her fiction, having conducted extensive research with psychiatrists, psychologists, and people living with bipolar disorder. She explains that bipolar disorder affects about 2% of the general population and has a genetic component, with children of bipolar parents having a 10% chance of inheriting the condition. Our conversation explores how bipolar disorder manifests through episodes of mania and depression, with Genova noting that the average time to correct diagnosis is 7-10 years. She discusses the challenges of treatment, including medication side effects and the stigma associated with mental illness. Genova advocates for using the term "neurological disorder" rather than "mental illness" to reduce stigma. She explains that the new novel uses stand-up comedy as a backdrop, not just for its inherent ups and downs that mirror bipolar episodes, but also to explore themes of normalcy and identity. Genova stresses that while bipolar disorder is a serious condition, with proper treatment and support, individuals like the fictional standup comic Maddy can live functional and fulfilling lives.Acclaimed as the Oliver Sacks of fiction and the Michael Crichton of brain science, Lisa Genova has captured a special place in contemporary fiction, writing stories that are equally inspired by neurological conditions and our shared human condition. She is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels STILL ALICE, LEFT NEGLECTED, LOVE ANTHONY, andINSIDE THE O'BRIENS. Her first TED talk, "What You Can Do To Prevent Alzheimer's" has been viewed over eight million times. Her most recent TED talk, "How Memory Works--and Why Forgetting is Totally OK" was the sixth most watched TED talk of 2021. A sought-after speaker/edutainer, she has headlined in speaker series alongside Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Gloria Steinem, Jay Leno, Malala Yousafzai, Bryan Stevenson, and Goldie Hawn.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.
