Podcast appearances and mentions of Monte Cristo

We've all said it: “I wish I could read that again for the first time.” But what do we really mean when we say it? In this episode, Trevor and Paul explore the magic of first encounters with books. Is it about surprise? Youth? Timing? Being unprepared in the best possible way? Or is it about discovering not just a book, but a new way of reading, thinking, or feeling?Along the way, we talk about books that opened doors, books we read at exactly the right (or wrong) moment, what rereading gives us. A conversation about memory, generosity, regret, delight, and why reading remains endlessly alive.2026 Novella Book ClubWe have announced the four novellas we will be reading for The Mookse and Gripes Novella Book Club in 2026!* January: Daisy Miller, by Henry James* April: An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter, by César Aira* July: The Hour of the Star, by Clarice Lispector* September: Prelude, by Katherine MansfieldDiscussions will be hosted at The Mookse and the Gripes Discord (see below!).We've got some fantastic author-focused episodes lined up for the foreseeable future, and we want to give you plenty of time to dive in if you'd like to read along with us.

This is a reimagined “I Have A Dream” speech as a rage anthem. We have to shift the energy from "hopeful persistence" to "righteous, explosive fury." So here is my hip-hop version of a call to reflection. The dream won't die, we will fiercely defend it. I HAVE A DREAM—that you're terrified! I HAVE A DREAM—that your hate has died! I HAVE A DREAM—that the truth will sting! LET FREEDOM RING! LET FREEDOM RING! LET. FREEDOM. RING! From the red hills! RING! From the snow caps! RING! From every village! From every state! We're drowning out the sound of your ancient hate! FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! GOD ALMIGHTY, WE'RE TAKING IT BACK! I just dropped "I was the 80" on Spotify, Apple, and wherever you listen to music!!! I remember the 80/20 rule in Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? This was a powerful relationship metaphor to explain why people often cheat and leave good partners. The 80 is what you need. That 20 is what you want. I am the 80, we are the 80. I firmly believe that we are in a new age and it's age of Aquarius. It's all about sovereignty, frequency, and interconnectedness. We're moving from the Piscean age, when we relied on external authority and reactive medicine. Now it's my responsibility to manage my own vibration and use nature to help me heal. Dayumm!! The Black Dante' is fire!!! I have the honor of reading The Count of Monte Cristo, which is more than an adventure. It's an epic that mirrors the tumultuous life of the creator, Alexander Dumas. He just didn't write about a man seeking justice. He wrote from the perspective of a man whose own family had been elevated by a revolution and raised by restoration.   Real HW and MM Angel Angel Angel-This trip is not for this show.

THE GREEN KNIGHT (2021) is often described as abstract, slow, or confusing, but those labels miss what the film is actually doing. Directed by David Lowery, this Arthurian adaptation isn't a puzzle to be solved, but a moral fable about avoidance and the cost of refusing to grow up. In this episode of Four Play, Richard Lewis, MonteCristo, and Thorin break down why The Green Knight is less concerned with symbolism and mythology than it is with character. Gawain's journey isn't about heroism, it's about procrastination, self-deception, and the terrifying moment when excuses run out.   Rather than presenting a traditional fantasy quest, the film strips the genre down to its emotional core. Each encounter tests Gawain not with strength or cleverness, but with honesty and courage, which are virtues he repeatedly fails to embody until the moment that finally matters. Raycon's Essential Open Earbuds are here to help you crush your new year goals!

Coming in at #12 Cigar of the Year for 2025 is the Romeo Y Julieta 150th Anniversary Balconet by Altadis U.S.A. In 2025, Altadis U.S.A. had a lot to celebrate, marking 90 years of Montecristo and 150 years of Romeo y Julieta. To honor these significant milestones, the company planned to release special cigars, with the 150th Anniversary edition among the most notable Romeo y Julieta launches in over a decade. While Altadis U.S.A. itself isn't quite 150 years old, the Romeo y Julieta brand dates back to 1875 in Cuba. Altadis collaborates with various partners, and what makes the 150th Anniversary release particularly special is its tobacco. The selected tobaccos come from some of Altadis' key agricultural partners, including AJ Fernandez, José Mendez & Co., Plasencia S.A., and the Turrent family.

I am not in any way referring to her gender identity as a sin. My sister knows this, but I want to be sure that anyone else who hears me, hears me correctly as well. 40:25 - Pony by R.J.

Coming in at #24 Cigar of the Year for 2025 is the Montecristo M Toro from Altadis U.S.A. The story of this cigar revolves around an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper, which, according to Altadis U.S.A., has been aged for 20 years. The wrapper came from David Perez of A.S.P., and Rafael Nodal, Vice President of Product Capability for Altadis U.S.A. and AJ Fernandez obtained it and went to work developing a limited production line. The result was the Montecristo M. The Montecristo M is a limited-production line because of the availability of the 20-year-aged wrapper. Given the age and availability of this wrapper, it also becomes one of the more premium Montecristo offerings. Full Details: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-yln

Originally Recorded: August 4th, 2025 We traveled through space and the kaleidoscopic design of mid 2000s anime to find the greatest treasure of all: the greatest adaptation of a novel ever made! Yes, Countess Stephanie, Andrew de Morserf and Noah Depenai are bringing back the classics series to take a look back at Gonzo's bonkers space remake of The Count of Monte Cristo, and the English dub from 20 years ago. Hopefully there will be no taking revenge as we untangle this master series: Gankutsuou! Our theme music was composed by Gabriel Pulcinelli / Ponpoko in the Distance.

Send us a textContinuing on with our theme, we have one of the greatest escapes in literature!   This week had to be a "period piece" and so we have chosen 2002's "The Count of Monte Cristo" starring Jim Caviezel, Guy Pearce and a very young Henry Cavill.  One of many, many film adaptations of the classic Alexandre Dumas novel of the same name.We also wonder what happened to Guy Pearce, Rachael promotes classic literature, and we test our knowledge of post-Napoleonic French aristocracy. Vive le cinema!

Diciembre comienza con un lunes de nubes y claros en toda España, previendo lluvias en el norte y el litoral mediterráneo, especialmente en Galicia y Baleares, con un ligero descenso de las temperaturas y la llegada del frío. La actualidad se centra en José Luis Ávalos, quien, desde prisión, se compara con el Conde de Montecristo. A través de una cuenta de X gestionada por su persona de confianza, proclama su inocencia y promete luchar por la verdad y la justicia. Antes de su ingreso, Ávalos publica tuits sobre el pacto de Pedro Sánchez con Otegui y acusa a Yolanda Díaz. Su hijo, Víctor Ávalos, denuncia públicamente una operación contra su padre, asegurando que Santos Cerdán le ofreció un "cheque en blanco" de Sánchez para comprar su silencio y que el presidente lo llama insistentemente. Se especula con que Ávalos se venga de quienes lo han traicionado, planteando la posibilidad de colaborar con la fiscalía. En el ámbito internacional, las elecciones en Honduras transcurren con caos y ...

Star Wars Visions Volume 3 is here and, unfortunately, it might be the weakest entry yet. In this episode of Nerd Legion, MonteCristo and DoA break down all nine anime shorts and ask the big question: Why does Star Wars keep returning to the same tired ideas? From endless Tatooine stories to recycled Jedi tropes, half-animated CGI ships, and baffling creative choices, Visions Vol. 3 shows just how far the brand's stewardship has fallen. Even the anthology format, supposedly a space for experimentation, feels strangely safe and generic. But it's not all bad. We highlight the one short that genuinely stands out (“Black”), why it succeeds aesthetically, and how the rest of the series fails to capture anything meaningful about the Star Wars universe. Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with Mando and get 20% off + free shipping with promo code NERD  at shopmando.com!

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is one of the most influential works of horror, science fiction, and gothic literature, but does Guillermo del Toro's long-awaited 2025 adaptation succeed in its representation of the novel? In this episode of Four Play, MonteCristo, Thorin, and Richard Lewis dig into why this debate the merits of the films visuals, story, and faithfulness to the original themes. While our hosts may not enjoy the source material, the ideas behind the story could be compelling on film if interpreted properly. However, considering the narrative inconsistencies and the surprising lack of tension, the hosts explore how Frankenstein ends up being a film that has all the pieces but none of the spark that makes the story immortal. Along the way, they talk about the legacy of gothic horror, the challenges of adapting philosophical novels for modern audiences, how del Toro's filmmaking strengths and weaknesses show through, and why this version feels more like a visual poem than a fully realized narrative. Shop the Into the AM Black Friday Sale!

durée : 00:28:50 - La Série fiction - Le ciel laisse luire dans son azur matinal les dernières étoiles. On distingue le bateau de Monte-Cristo sur la ligne d'un bleu foncé qui sépare l'horizon et le ciel de la Méditerranée. Sa voile blanche est grande comme l'aile d'un goéland.

Predator: Badlands shouldn't be this good. MonteCristo and DoA went in expecting another forgettable franchise sequel and came out calling it the best Predator film since 1987. In this episode of Nerd Legion, the hosts break down how Dan Trachtenberg turned a dormant IP into a bold, emotional, and surprisingly funny sci-fi blockbuster. They discuss the film's unexpected focus on the Predator's culture and honor code, Elle Fanning's dual performance, and how the movie manages to feel both classic and completely new. From the inventive world-building to the subtitled alien language and practical effects, Predator: Badlands proves that simple stories told well still hit the hardest. The conversation also detours into Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, the curse of bloated superhero films, and why Hollywood keeps forgetting how to make tight, self-contained action movies.

What sparks fly at a holiday get together in Dublin? Hopefully the good kind…James Joyce, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.   Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening.   Have you listened to the Fu-Manchu trilogy? How about the John Carter Trilogy? How about all 51 hours of The Count of Monte Cristo? With the audiobook library card, you can listen to all this and more for only $9.99 a month. Unlimited downloads and streaming of the entire Classic Tales Library. No limits, just is heavily curated, well produced audio, so you get a great listen every time. Go to audiobooklibrarycard.com or follow the link in the show notes.   Today's story is considered one of the great short stories of English literature. Appearing as the final tale in his short story collection, Dubliners, James Joyce builds the complex atmosphere of a Holiday dance in Dublin.   One thing to look out for is how the point of view of the narrative changes constantly, almost like it's a living thing. The use of phrasing is also noteworthy, sometimes sharp and staccato, and sometimes smooth and flowing. It's as though the language itself has a tempo, texture, and pitch all its own. As though the story were a musical piece in and of itself. Hopefully this becomes even clearer in an audio format. I hope you like it.     And now, The Dead, Part 1 of 2,  by James Joyce   Follow this link to get The Audiobook Library Card for a special price of $6.99/month       Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:       Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:     Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:     Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:
