Dana and Tom welcome back Kieran B (Host of the Best Picture Cast) to discuss the 2008 race relations thriller, Gran Torino: directed by Clint Eastwood, written by Dave Johannson and Nick Schenk, music by Kyle Eastwood and Michael Stevens, starring Clint Eastwood and Bee Vang.Plot Summary: Clint Eastwood stars in a poignant and thought-provoking drama which unfolds in a changing American neighborhood where the echoes of a bygone era collide with the realities of modern life. Walt Kowalski (Eastwood) is a cantankerous Korean War veteran and retired auto worker. His world is a small, rundown neighborhood that has evolved around him, becoming a haven for Hmong immigrants. Despite his deep-seated prejudices and gruff exterior, Walt finds himself reluctantly drawn into the lives of his Hmong neighbors after witnessing a violent incident involving a teenage boy named Thao (Bee Vang). As Walt reluctantly becomes a protector and mentor to Thao, he confronts his own demons, challenging his long-held prejudices and uncovering unexpected common ground with his new neighbors.Eastwood's portrayal of Walt is nothing short of extraordinary. He brings a complex character to life, imbuing him with equal parts vulnerability and defiance. The film beautifully explores themes of redemption, reconciliation, and the power of human connection in the face of cultural and generational divides. "Gran Torino" is a masterful exploration of the evolution of a man's soul set against a backdrop of a changing America. It's a reminder that even in the twilight of our lives, we have the power to change, to heal, and to find unexpected friendship in the most unlikely places.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast) or find our Facebook page at Greatest Movie of All-Time Podcast.For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/gran-torino-2008-ft-kieran-bFor the entire rankings list so far, go to:Full Graded List - Greatest Movies of All-Time Ronny Duncan Studios

As a writer, director and producer, Stevens has earned many accolades, including 15 Emmys, two Peabody Awards for Meritorious Service to Broadcasting, the Humanitas Prize and 8 awards from the Writers Guild of America, including the Paul Selvin Award for writing that embodies civil rights and liberties.

Stevens is Founding Director of the American Film Institute and during his tenure, more than 10,000 irreplaceable American films were preserved and catalogued to be enjoyed by future generations. In addition, he established the AFI's Center for Advanced Film Studies, which gained a reputation as the finest learning opportunity for young filmmakers.

In collaboration with his son and partner Michael Stevens, he produced the feature length documentary Herblock – The Black & The White on the famed political cartoonist Herbert Block for HBO. Stevens made his debut as a playwright in 2008 with Thurgood, which opened at the historic Booth Theater on Broadway. The play had an extended run starring Laurence Fishburne as Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.

In this interview I talk with Michael Stevens, CEO of Joi, an ecommerce platform that enables easy live purchasing via Video Chat platforms. Michael started his journey in politics with modest pre-revenue funding for an idea (Crowdr), a video fund raising platform for political candidates. Learning from that experience he pivoted Crowdr to Booster to focus more on ecommerce and spent 12 months in Salt Lake studying multiple ecommerce platforms (which interestingly seem to concentrate in Salt Lake). Learning from that, he pivoted again to Joi which empowers real-time ecommerce on live video chat platforms, sort of like QVC or the Home Shopping Network but live streaming. He raised his initial funding pre-revenue with just an idea and we talk about that as well as his perseverance/resilience on that journey to get to Product Market Fit with Joi.

An ornithologist nun stands off with an alien general. Michael Stevens is a writer and musician whose stories have appeared in Andromeda Spaceways, HyphenPunk, Noctivagant Press, and Honest Ulsterman. He lives in Dublin where he divides his time between hanging out with his young family, reading speculative fiction, opening a door for an orange, furry creature, and bashing guitar with an assortment of Irish bands. He finds writing fiction to be just as much fun as songwriting, but with the added benefit that it doesn't involve carrying huge amplifiers and trying to hear oneself over the drummer.

Submission guidelines can be found at TallTaleTV.com ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- My name is Chris Herron, and I narrate audiobooks. In 2015, poor control of my diabetes left me legally blind for the better part of a year. The doctors predicted an 80% chance I would never see again, but I changed the way I was living and through sheer willpower beat the odds. During this time I couldn't read or write. Two things that I had been turning to for comfort since I was a small child. With the sheer amount of stress I was under, this was devastating. My wife took me by the arm, lead me into the local library, and read out titles of audiobooks to me. I chose the audiobook versions of books I had loved such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more. They brought my favorite stories to life in ways I never thought possible and helped me through the darkest time of my life. Once my vision recovered, I maintained a love for audiobooks. I decided I would turn my focus from being a writer to becoming a narrator. I devised Tall Tale TV as a way to help out all the amazing authors in the writing communities I had come to love before my ordeal. I created Tall Tale TV to help aspiring authors by providing them with a promotional audiobook video. A way to showcase their skills with the written word. They say the strongest form of advertisement is word of mouth, so I provide a video to a platform of readers to help get people talking. Help them spread the word.

As impeachment was closing in on President Nixon, the CIA could, it seemed breathe a sigh of relief, as it had skillfully and luckily, with the unstinting help of the Washington Post, navigated rocky shoals. The Mullen cover contract (Ep. 3), Michael Stevens' bombshell stories (Ep. 14), Lou Russell's involvement (Ep. 15), the desk key found during the Watergate breakin (Ep. 16), CIA handler, Lee Pennington's document burning (Ep. 17), the CIA Defense offered during the burglary trial (Ep. 27), blackmail claims (Ep. 28), and Bittenbender's reports had all been avoided in the public narrative. So nothing could derail our country's first presidential impeachment, correct? But what if an honest CIA Security Officer, wishing not to be obstructive, forced disclosure of previously concealed CIA documents to the Senate? The Democratic Majority would not wish to touch them, but what about the Republican Minority, led by Tennessee Senator Howard Baker, heretofore cowed into submission by the Washington Post? And with the televised hearings long concluded, how would the Republican Minority reach the public? Tune in to this chapter of Watergate, regarding the little-read Baker Report, that has been lost to history.________________________________________ Thank you for listening!
