The movie that is making some noise at the indie level is about the scandal that rocked 1984: Michael Larson took on Press Your Luck and walked away with $110,237 (roughly $339,000) in cash and prizes! Although the movie has a fun idea, there really isn't enough meat on the bones of this, but I still wanted to talk about it. Join in the fun as I talk about 1984, the culture of the time and what led to Larson never landing on the dreaded whammy in his 47 spins!If you're not doing so already, please like and follow Classic American Movies on Instagram and Facebook.

Emmy-winner Paul Walter Hauser plays iconic "Press Your Luck" contestant Michael Larson in the new dramatic thriller "The Luckiest Man in America", which opens in theaters this Friday April 4th. Hauser and director Samir Oliveros join me for in-depth conversations about bringing this legendary game show story to the screen.

"When I sit down with someone and hear their life story —when we're just hanging out and I'm getting to know them and getting to be with them, there's this feeling of mutuality in getting to be together, of getting to melt down the walls between us. There's something really beautiful about that,” says Michael Larson, the founder and visionary behind Humans for Housing. When Michael Larson was just two years old, his parents went to prison. He and his two siblings, found themselves on a journey that would inform the rest of his life. As they navigated their journey through various foster homes in the foster care system, they finally landed with a family that would eventually adopt them, and one that afforded them the stability, love and support they would need to succeed. Michael and his siblings were some of the lucky ones.As a sociology major at Gonzaga, Michael learned about the stark reality of homelessness among youth aging out of foster care. This revelation ignited a passionate commitment to serve at a local homeless shelter and eventually to leading a student-group named Meals in the Margins. He directed “Humanizing Spokane”, a documentary that told the powerful stories of four unhoused individuals and helped to build empathy for those experiencing homelessness across the city. It is those experiences and others that led him to create Humans for Housing, a Portland based nonprofit organization that aims to tackle the critical issue of homelessness through powerful storytelling, education and community engagement. In this wide-reaching conversation, Michael's journey to pay it forward has something to inspire all of us.As you listen to this episode consider:Stories have the capacity to bring us together and teach us something new. Invite friends to watch a documentary about a topic that you know little about. Have a conversation about what you learn.Learn about the issues facing your community. Attend a city council meeting or a talk about affordable housing in your community.

Serial get-rich-quick fanatic Michael Larson was almost out of schemes to earn the elusive buck. Bills piling up, kids needing school clothes, ice cream truck season ending - obstacles were plentiful. So when he filled the living room with a dozen television sets to allow the universe to deliver his next great idea for success, the family was understandably skeptical. But the events that followed would go down in television history, as Larson hopped a bus to Los Angeles and tackled the newest game show sensation - Press Your Luck... It Happened One Year presents its fourth fully scripted, full cast episode, covering the incredible story of Larson and family, the nail-biting recording session for the famed contest, and its manic aftermath.

Michael Larson was an out-of-work ice cream truck driver, struggling to make ends meet for his young family (and multiple ex-wives) in Lebanon, Ohio. His penchant for get-rich-quick schemes caused few to take him seriously, and so when he announced he was going on a game show, no one thought much of it. But his subsequent run on CBS's Press Your Luck in 1984 would go down in television history. It Happened One Year presents its fourth fully scripted audio dramedy, this time written by great friend of the show Nick Perfetto, and featuring dozens of performers from the Mighty IHOY Players! Listen to the trailer now, and tune back in for the whole shebang on June 8th!

Brad Pappas of St. Louis Park performed in Theatre 55's concert production of “Hair” last summer. Now he's looking forward to seeing the company's performance of “Jesus Christ Superstar,” opening Friday. Pappas said the show promises strong actors in a beautiful setting, at the outdoor amphitheater at Caponi Art Park in Eagan. Lyrics will be provided for the audience to sing along to the title song during the encore, though the audience is welcome to sing along during the show as well. It runs through July 24. Tickets are $15 a person or $30 per vehicle with up to six people inside. St. Paul actor and director Greta Grosch recently discovered the Minnesota Mandolin Orchestra, and she's excited to spread the word about this community ensemble with several upcoming concerts. Formed in 1991, the Minnesota Mandolin Orchestra has about 25 musicians playing a range of classical and contemporary music on plucked stringed instruments. “It's what a community orchestra is supposed to be: people coming together because they have a passion for music,” she said. Grosch said she was delighted to learn that Minnesota has a rich history of mandolin orchestra. Because the instrument was affordable and fairly easy to learn, mandolin groups were hugely popular in Minnesota in the early 1900s, though they fell out of fashion starting in the 1940s. The Minnesota Mandolin Orchestra performs this Sunday at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. An entry ticket to the Arboretum is required. Upcoming free public performances will be at the Richfield Band Shell on July 26, the Loring Park Art Festival in Minneapolis on July 31, and Centennial Lakes Park in Edina on August 1. Escape room enthusiast Michael Larson of Minneapolis recommends a new backstage escape room set inside a theater. In “The Show Must Go On,” two to eight participants must find the missing diamonds of a visiting Broadway legend before she takes the stage in 75 minutes. The escape room is designed by David Pisa of Walking Shadow Theater. Larson appreciates Pisa's inventive shows, which explore the line between immersive theater and escape room puzzles. There are no live actors in this particular escape room but, like the best puzzle experiences, this one will leave you feeling like you've lived through the drama. “The Show Must Go On” takes place at Daleko Arts in New Prague and runs through the summer. Individual tickets go on sale Friday.

Comedian, writer, and pictionary enthusiast Rekha Shankar, joins Caitlin to discuss the savant who destroyed the Press Your Luck game in 1984. Michael Larson single handedly brought down an entire network by simply being very focused, very obsessed, and very weird. His obsession over Press Your Luck won him $110,237 ($283,000 in today's dollars) plus trips to the Bahamas, Kauai and a sailboat. Was it a scam, was it great work, or was it just too many TV's?  Guest Rekha Shankar is currently writing for NBC's Grand Crew, Animaniacs, and previously wrote on Magic for Humans, Astronomy Club, Aunty Donna's House, and was selected in Just For Laughs: New Faces- Creators for 2020!  RESOURCES: The Man Who Got No Whammies Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal, YouTube  Price is Right Reviews https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/an-ice-cream-man-hacked-press-your-luck-1984-1217142/ @rekha_s Talk Chef  @caitybrodnick  @scamwowpodcast Scamwowpodcast.com DISCLAIMER: We are comedians and this is satire.

Show Notes Episode 298: Big Bucks, No Whammies, STOP! This week Host Dave Bledsoe welcomes back our returning champion, a bottle of whiskey. To date, whiskey has won over $35,000 dollars from the show and shows no signs of stopping! (It really is like taking candy from a baby!) On the show this week, we talk about the day the Whammies Died on Press Your Luck!   Along the way we experience what the average day was like for the children or the 1980's (and the unemployed!) as we take a tour through daytime game shows! From there dig into the creation of a comparatively short lived game show that has never really been forgotten by a generation of latchkey kids! (We never saw our parents!) Then we meet the man who beat the Big Board and took CBS for over a quarter million dollars in today's money: Michael Larson. It all ends pretty much how you think it might end. Our Sponsor this week is The Match Game, teaching children about sex since 1969! We open the show with these lovely parting gifts and close with an entirely different set of parting gifts, including the What the HELL Home Game!

This is a once-in-a-decade, retrospective look back at the last 10 years of Word: Conversations With Writers broadcasts with host Gil Mansergh. The first half hour features clips by novelists and writing professors Greg Sarris and Jean Hegland, SF literary agents Michael Larson and Elizabeth Pomada, Jamaican-born novelist Margaret Cezair Thompson, and Sebastopol childrens authors and illustrators Megan McDonald and Terri Sloat. The second half hour includes clips with award-winning, bestselling author T.C. Boyle, Irishman Eoin Coffler, who wrote an immensely popular YA mystery series about the brilliant teen-aged master criminal Artemis Fowl, Robert Digitale, Dan Tayloeand Frederick Weisel—three writers who contributed chapters to the Press Democrat’s serialized Sonoma Squares: Red Harvest mystery, and graphic novelists Maia Kobabe and Trinidad Escobar. As an added treat, Gil reads the sign-off quote by Eoin Cofler in his pseudo-Irish accent.

The host discusses the life of Michael Larson, a man he never met, and a man who is arguably more famous 18 years after his death than he was in 1984, when he dazzled a television audience. The host also reflects upon why a simple game show from the 1980s is one of his favorites. Follow Can't Turn it Off over at cantturnitoff.com

Michael Larson of Weiss Research and the Safe Money Report foresees a period of crazy volatility ahead, but he has plenty of detractors and "can’t remember seeing such a wild split in views on so many different markets." This episode comes during the week of the anniversary of the closing of the gold window in 1971, which opened the floodgates for inflationary pressure and the monetization of the US federal debt.

This week on High-Dere we celebrate Ian's 30th birthday and press our luck with a creepy story that we've decided to write and develop into a script.   Ian starts the show by taking us through the 1984 story of Michael Larson, the legendary Press Your Luck game show winner, who took home a whopping $110,237 after figuring out the pattern of the game to avoid the bankrupting Whammies… or did he?  We take a sharp turn down humanity street by questioning the motives behind those defunding Planned Parenthood while reflecting on the powerful magic of words and how it effects those around us.   We wrap things up with a challenge by igniting our creative brains into a frenzy over Olivia Mabel's death and how we're going to fill in the gaps as to how we think she met her end.  All this and more on Episode 53 of High-Dere!   Shout Out to Greg Proops, Fields Afire and, of course, Dave Foley (Michael Larson)!   ---   For more reading, check out:   The Man Who Got No Whammies - http://priceonomics.com/the-man-who-got-no-whammies/   Big Bucks - The Press Your Luck Scandal -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzNMCXWCZzQ   What Killed Olivia Mabel? - http://oliviamabel.com/

Hello everyone and welcome back to Evolver the Podcast. In this episode we have interviews with Graham Hancock, bestselling author of Fingerprints of the Gods, the Sign and the Seal, Supernatural, and most recently Entangled. After that we interview Robin Gunkel who is a regional coordinator for Evolver Baltimore. Then we have Erin Shaw from Evolver LA interviewing Daniel Pinchbeck, co-founder of Evolver, and bestselling author of Breaking Open the Head, 2012 the Return of Quetzalcoatl, and most recently Notes from the Edge Times. Graham Hancock has embarked on his first journey of fiction with his most recent novel Entangled. Entangled follows the path of two different young women battling evil together across 24 thousand years of time and space. It is a nonstop action story that explores ideas of consciousness, ancient man, neanderthals and much more. We discussed what it was that inspired him into writing this book, along with some of the amazing, interesting research that he did for it. You can learn more about Graham at his website www.grahamhancock.com. Robin Gunkel has a number of amazing things going on in Evolver Baltimore. It starts with the amazing transformative experience of Evolver Baltimore Spores, and then branches out into a number of amazing projects such as the Bnote, an alternative currency that Evolver Baltimore has just helped to launch. In the interview we discuss both of these things and also Robin's personal journey as to how she got involved with Evolver. You can learn more about the Bnote at http://baltimoregreencurrency.org. You can also check out a couple of the spaces they hold these amazing spores. http://www.breathebooks.com/ http://baltimoreyogavillage.com/cms/ Finally Erin Shaw interviewed Daniel Pinchbeck. They discussed some of Daniel's visionary ideas on the turning of the new age, and some of the amazing things going on in the world today to help usher in this change. I encourage all of you to check out Daniel's new book Notes from the Edge Times and get more closely acquainted with one of the more innovative intelligent thinkers of our time. I would also like to mention that all of the music in this podcast is from Michael Larson a.k.a. Eyedea. Michael is one of the most inspirational eye opening lyricists ever. He passed away on October 16th 2010 and it was a very sad day. I would love for everyone to actually take the time and listen to his amazing words in each of the songs placed in the podcast and then go out and check out more of his awesome music. Thank you all for listening, and I look forward to next time. Remember, It's our world to change. -Chris Hopkins www.evolver.net www.realitysandwich.com chris_by_design@yahoo.com
