Ok, I promise it's not miserable. As a matter of fact, Rob Riener's month has been quite a pleasant journey. But it's time for Isaac and Juzo to dig into one of Rienner's most thrilling pictures yet. Based on Steven King's Book, Misery stars Kathy Bates and James Caan in a shut-in thriller about a writer who is held captive by a fan. But how well does Riener take on a dark thriller? Can he really jump to something this serious after such feel-good films? Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.

What starts as a conversation about sobriety quickly turns into something deeper: the fear that happiness isn't real, the belief that love must be earned, and the quiet ways self-worth gets shaped by childhood experiences. We talk about feeling stuck in survival mode, struggling to accept love without performing for it, and why misery can feel safer than healing. From identity confusion to self-neglect, people-pleasing, and the anxiety of being perceived, this episode explores the internal battles that don't always look dramatic from the outside — but feel overwhelming on the inside. If you've ever felt like you're self-aware but still trapped in the same patterns… this conversation will hit close to home.

Misery has a way of forcing honest questions.In this episode, Brandon sits down with Jennifer Johnson who has spent decades helping people move beyond information about God and into real, embodied transformation. This conversation explores heart physics, biblical meditation, imagination, and why so many believers know Scripture—but can't seem to live free.What happens when the Word moves from the mind into the heart?  What if healing isn't about trying harder, fixing yourself, or perfect behavior—but learning to trust again?  This episode unpacks why religious systems often fear inner freedom, how imagination was designed to work, and why your response to pain determines the outcome of your story.The conversation culminates in a live guided biblical meditation that invites listeners into direct awareness of Christ within. This is not self-help. This is not technique-driven spirituality. This is an invitation to closeness.https://paperbell.me/jenniferjohnson-coachhttps://joinapp.unrefinedpodcast.com

Send Help, Housemaid, and Why Rachel McAdams Should Always Be This Unhinged Bob is joined by fan-favorite guest Brittany Brown—fresh off dominating the Analysis Awards submissions—to break down one of the year's most anticipated releases: Send Help, the latest genre-bending horror-comedy from Sam Raimi. From the electric energy of AMC pre-screenings to Raimi's signature “Three Stooges but make it blood” filmmaking style, the duo dives deep into why Send Help absolutely rips in a theater. Brittany makes the case that no one balances horror and absurdist comedy quite like Raimi, and both hosts rave about the two-hander performances from Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien. They unpack: * The joy of watching rich bros get their comeuppance
 * Why Linda might be one of McAdams' funniest roles ever
 * The fine line between survival, manipulation, and straight-up madness
 * And whether anyone in this movie actually deserves saving
 Plus: comparisons to Castaway, Triangle of Sadness, and a little Misery energy for good measure. In the back half of the episode, Bob and Brittany pivot to the twisty domestic thriller The Housemaid, starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. They debate: * Does the big reveal actually land?
 * Is the twist stronger on the page than on screen?
 * And is Amanda Seyfried having way more fun than everyone else?
 It's a lively conversation about performance range, horror-comedy rhythm, thriller pacing, and the very specific pleasure of watching morally questionable women take control of the narrative. Two movies. One that rocks. One that… exists.

DAMTT: Love, Getting Help, and Zaddies It's been a minute since Stacy and Eric asked listeners to leave a review and get 15 seconds of fame and appreciation; you too can join the fun! Speaking of fun, Eric celebrates 15 years with “the gf” with dinner at Indochine and a movie while Stacy celebrates her daughter who is twice as old (30). Stacy shares a story about her mother's “vintage” mattress and the “vintage” dance partners she had while visiting her mother. It reminded Eric of the old Craftmatic adjustable recliner ads with Art Linklater. Thanks to checking off their Cultural Blindspots (and watching the Godfather movies), Eric and Stacy have a better appreciation for the recently deceased Robert Duvall. That reminds Stacy of recently seeing Catherine O”Hara in Best in Show, a hilarious close look at a VERY specific “sport/hobby.” Eric's romantic Valentine movie date was to see Send Help which was a cross between Castaway and Misery and a whole lot of fun. Eric also watched the movie Novocain with Hollywood nepo-baby Jack Quaid which was also surprisingly good! Cultural Blindspots can also be regional as Stacy shares her love of Goldenbergs Chews and Drake's Devil Dogs. Stacy and Eric play Kiss, Marry, Avoid (a take on the more common Eff, Marry, Kill game) with random options of “Cougars” or “Zaddies.” Some interesting choices are made and p.s. Eric definitely prefers the older ladies! DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram as @dontaskme to talk or email asking@dontaskmetotalk.com Next Time: Ideal Voice/Text Length Next time: voice text length

The Misery of the Vaccine Business: The Real Economics of Pediatric VaccinationIn this episode of The Pediatric Lounge, the hosts reflect on the PMI conference in New Orleans and discuss how U.S. pediatricians are portrayed as “bad guys” because of vaccines, leading into a conversation with Dr. Gail Schoenfeld about the “misery of the vaccine business.” Schoenfeld describes her participation in a white paper on the real economics of pediatric vaccination, motivated in part by feeling insulted by claims that pediatricians profit from vaccines, and explains she tried to educate the authors on vaccine financing and delivery costs. The discussion details the extensive, time-intensive workflow and infrastructure required to store, track, administer, and document vaccines, including staffing time, inventory reconciliation between VFC and commercial stock, compliance tasks, refrigeration and monitoring systems, generators, maintenance, insurance, space costs, and after-hours emergencies. They address vaccine “wastage” such as broken vials, patient refusal after preparation, expiration, documentation errors that prevent billing, and demand shifts (including Schoenfeld's experience wasting 70 Moderna COVID doses at $133 each). The group argues that fixed reimbursement set by insurers and Medicaid often fails to cover true costs, making vaccination a money-losing service for pediatric practices; they cite examples including Medicare valuing vaccine administration code 90460 at $24 and Virginia's Medicaid not paying 90460 and restricting VFC reimbursement to a limited admin fee, resulting in losses per vaccine, with a Mississippi example of $11 payment. They discuss why adult practices often refer vaccination to pharmacies and note pediatricians cannot easily do so. The conversation expands to broader issues with Medicaid underfunding, VFC compliance burdens and liability, quality incentive programs (HEDIS/NCQA) and how incentives can be perceived as conflicts of interest despite being framed as deferred or conditional payment, and how vaccine mandates and distrust after COVID have reduced routine vaccination uptake. Schoenfeld shares past work running community COVID vaccine clinics and contrasts inefficiencies seen elsewhere. The episode ends with reflections on pediatricians being underpaid despite providing essential preventive care, Schoenfeld's commitment to serving a largely Medicaid population in the Hamptons, and her upcoming presentation on cost center/call center reports at a future conference, followed by standard podcast outro and disclaimer.00:00 Welcome Back + PMI New Orleans Takeaways (Why Pediatricians Support the show

Philosopher and writer Eamon Evans on humanity's relentless and impossible pursuit of happiness through materialism, social media and self help, and why the kindest and best people have been 'crushed by life' a couple of times.Eamon started to think more deeply about happiness and contentment in his 20s, after a bout of serious depression.He realised that trying to be happy all the time was paradoxically making him miserable, and says that's true for most of us in this modern world.Eamon began to trace the history of human's infatuation with being happy.What he found was that the story of humanity was tied up with other pursuits like survival, honour, virtue and discipline until very recently.Only in the 20th century did people start wanting to stop to smell the roses all the time, but Eamon says a permanent state of happiness impossible and emotionally counterproductive.In fact, our obsession with being happy is actually making us sad, and on top of that, it's making us sad about the fact that we're sad—a concept called 'meta-unhappiness'.Eamon acknowledges misery can sometimes be pathological, and it's important that lifesaving progress has been made on creating spaces here people can speak out and seek help.But in terms of daily, natural feelings of struggle, he says it's better to accept these as a normal part of human life, and look upon seasons of misery as miracles that build character, make us kinder, and more interesting.The Importance of Being Miserable is published by Simon and Schuster.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, Executive Producer was Nicola Harrison.It explores advertising, marketing, smart phones, addiction, dopamine, serotonin, Gen Z, glimmers of hope, gratitude, being grateful, how to be grateful, gratitude journal, Buddhism, enlightenment, Mad Men, advertising, capitalism, mental health, mental wellbeing, self help books, religion, industrial revolution, greed, property, wants versus needs.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode of the Dental Boardroom Podcast, Wes Reed dives into some of the most common and costly business and practice management mistakes dentists make. Drawing from years of experience working with hundreds of dental practices, Wes explains how strong clinical skills alone aren't enough to build a sustainable, profitable, and stress-free practice.He breaks these mistakes into six core areas, covering everything from management systems and PPO economics to lease agreements, partnerships, financial planning, and KPIs. Throughout the episode, Wes uses practical examples and real-world analogies (including agile software development) to show how intentional systems and financial clarity can free owners from burnout and help practices scale intelligently.This episode is a must-listen for practice owners who want to stop managing reactively and start operating with structure, clarity, and long-term strategy.Key Topics Covered1. Not Adopting a Management ProcessMany dentists manage by instinct instead of by process. Without a clear management operating system including defined roles, meeting cadence, accountability, and decision-making frameworks, practices become reactive, inconsistent, and owner-dependent. Wes explains how adopting even a simple system and iterating over time can dramatically improve operations and reduce burnout.2. Not Understanding the True Cost of PPOsPPOs often increase top-line revenue but quietly erode profitability. Wes breaks down how fee schedules, write-offs, chair utilization, and hygiene profitability impact the bottom line. He emphasizes that PPOs are essentially an expensive marketing channel and that growth without profitability can lead to exhaustion, not success.3. Not Understanding Lease TermsA lease is often the largest non-clinical financial commitment a dentist makes, yet many sign without fully understanding the implications. Wes discusses escalation clauses, renewal options, relocation clauses, and why poor lease terms can hurt practice value or even prevent a successful exit.4. Partnering Without Profit-Split ModelingPartnerships often fail not because of personality conflicts, but because of unclear financial structures. Wes explains why production, ownership, expenses, and profit splits must be modeled and stress-tested before forming a partnership and why aligning accounting execution with the partnership agreement is critical.5. Lacking Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)Most practices rely only on historical financial reports, such as P&Ls, which show where the practice has been, not where it's going. Wes explains how FP&A (or a CFO model) helps dentists forecast cash flow, plan strategically, and turn financial anxiety into financial control.6. Not Using KPIs or KPI SoftwareWithout key performance indicators, practices lack visibility and accountability. Wes highlights the importance of both leading and trailing KPIs, the value of KPI software, and how daily or weekly team huddles around metrics create a culture of ownership and consistency.Key TakeawaysClinical excellence alone doesn't guarantee a successful practice; systems and strategy matter.A management operating system frees the owner from being the bottleneck.PPO participation must be understood at the procedure- and profitability-levels, not just collections.Lease terms can significantly impact long-term practice value and...

While most fans called it boring, this was a perfect night for anyone who enjoys watching the New England Patriots fall flat on the biggest stage. We break down why Super Bowl 60 was far more entertaining than people want to admit, especially if you are a Jets fan or anyone tired of Patriots success. From Seattle Seahawks controlling the game with defense and the run, to New England Patriots looking overwhelmed offensively, this episode dives into why the outcome felt inevitable early. We talk about Drake Maye struggling under playoff pressure, why the Patriots' easy path finally caught up to them, and how Seattle won without needing a heroic performance from Sam Darnold. Was the game ugly? Absolutely. Was it satisfying? For at least one bitter Jets fan, it was four hours of joy. We also look ahead to what this loss means for the Patriots, why getting close does not guarantee you will ever get back, and whether Seattle can realistically repeat this formula next season.

Synopsis Send Help stars Rachel McAdams as a frumpy but invaluable office worker over looked for promotion by her asshole entitled boss played by Dylan Obrien When she is invited on a sausage fest work trip, the plane crashes and she and her boss are the only survivors on a tropical island She quickly demonstrates her survival knowledge and the power dynamic between her and her boss shifts. Review of Send Help Send Help has been described as a mix between Misery and Cast Away. I'll agree with that and add that it's also a poor man's version of The Triangle of Sadness. Any way you compare it, this is a crowd pleaser. Sam Raimi returns to the horror genre for the first time since Drag Me to Hell. Though this is more on the thriller side of horror, he brings out a lot of the playful and over the top blood and gore that we are used to. Rachel McAdams largely carries the film with her charisma and screen presence. I'll admit, she's largely the reason for me being excited about seeing the film. Dylan O'brien is serviceable, and properly over the top in portraying an entitled asshole. The script by Damian Shannon and Mark Shift is simple, yet plays with the audience's expectations. It is better than I would expect from the guys that worked together before on the Baywatch Movie, Freddy Vs. Jason, and 2009's Friday the 13th reboot. The character development feels a little undercooked, but is there enough to make their motivations understood. This felt like a movie straight out of the 90's/early 2000s. This brand of mid-budget thriller was a dime a dozen back then, and for some reason has fallen by the wayside. I'm hoping that this film, along with films like The Housemaid will start a resurgence in mid budget date night thrillers. Also something I haven't seen since the 90s/early 2000s is this quality of CGI. It wasn't completely terrible, but is was distracting how overused it was. Many shots of the island and it's design felt like I was looking at an obviously designed video game island (X mountains and all). Also, after seeing PRimate successfully pull of great practical effects with a monkey suit, I wondered why they didn't use a puppet for the boar. They could have achieved the same level of boar gore, but make it less cartoony. The film doesn't plumb the depths of the human psyche or explore every facet of the power dynamics in a survival situation, it prefers to keep it pretty surface level in service of moving quickly with the plot. And in my opinion, it works. I had a really good time, and laughed out loud several times at the humor as well as the exploitative gore that Raimi is the expert at bringing. Score 8/10

But while heaven is the perfection of rest, a child of God may even now have Christ's perfect peace and rest, no matter how difficult the circumstances of life may seem. With the urgency of one who experienced near death himself, Baxter pleads with his readers to take God in Christ for your only rest and to make heaven the goal and delight of every day.
