D. Elliot WoodsTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know D. Elliot Woods. Elliot is an actor, and author. In this episode, we chat about how he got into acting, and some of the super talented people that have helped him along the way. For starters, his babysitter was a man who went on to be one of the most celebrated actors of all time! One of his college professors, is one of the most highly regarded, and respected actresses of all time! Even his cell phone number used to belong to a time traveling super star. We discuss some of his projects, including Friends, and Star Trek. Elliot tells me about the differences between working on Friends one week, and Star Trek the next. He shares fun stories from the set, working with: Patrick Stewart, Michael Dorn, and Jonathan Frakes. Of course, I ask him to tell the story of how "The D. Elliot Woods Rule" came to be, and how he set the bat for Wal Mart commercials. Finally, we dive into his new novel: Rise of the Unicorn. This book is a fantastic suspense thriller. It is action packed, with great storytelling, and even an underlying message of morality, and justice. The audiobook is available EXCLUSIVELY through Audible; but the dead tree version is available everywhere. We do touch a little on his forthcoming novel: Eleven Minutes and Fourteen Seconds.

Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who Podcast

If you think because she is dead, I am weak, then you understand very little. If you were any part of killing her, and you're not afraid, then you understand nothing at all. So, for your own sake, understand this. I am the Doctor. I'm coming to find you, and I will never, ever stop. This week, Rob Valentine drops by to spend four-and-a-half billion years admiring how clever Steven Moffat, Peter Capaldi, Rachel Talalay and Murray Gold are. It's Heaven Sent. Notes and links Here is the full text of the Brothers Grimm fairytale The Shepherd Boy. It's very short. Rob feels that this episode echoes another tale about digging an escape tunnel: The Shawshank Redemption. Here's Morgan Freeman's character red, talking about Tim Robbins's Andy: “I remember thinking it would take a man six hundred years to tunnel through the wall with it. Old Andy did it in less than twenty.” In Viktor E Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning (1959), he argues that the primary human drive isn't pleasure or sex or the avoidance of suffering; instead, he says that we are motivated by a desire for meaning. And finally, after the closing credits, Simon offers us a pick of the week courtesy of his husband, Brian. It's Helen O'Hara's Women vs Hollywood: The Rise and Fall of Women in Film (2021), which talks about the way that female film directors like Rachel Talalay are punished more harshly for their failures than men are. Follow us Nathan is on X as @nathanbottomley, Simon is @simonmoore72, James is @ohjamessellwood, and Rob is @MrRobValentine. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on X at @FTEpodcast. We're also on Facebook, Mastodon, and Bluesky, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we'll go to heroically embarrassing lengths just to tell you how much we love you. And more Did you all enjoy The Star Beast? Of course you did. But if you want to know what we thought, check out our new Doctor Who flashcast, The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire. Like Jodie into Terror before it, The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire will be released a day or two after each new episode of Doctor Who and will contain our ill-considered and half-baked initial reactions to the episode. Keep an eye out on the new podcast website or on our social media accounts for details. Our second newest podcast is Startling Barbara Bain, our Space: 1999 commentary podcast, whose second episode was released yesterday. In that episode, we talked over the show's second episode (sort of) Force of Life, featuring a young Ian McShane who frankensteins his way around the Moonbase freezing people and causing a great deal of fancy camerawork. Maximum Power is continuing its journey through Series C of Blakes 7. This week, Servalan gets her end away with one of the help in The Harvest of Kairos. And finally, there's our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. No new episode last week, instead they recovered from watching perhaps the worst episode of the entire Star Trek franchise, the Star Trek: Voyager episode Threshold.

Or the classic, nostalgic voiceover in "Stand By Me," taking us back to childhood adventures? How about the gripping, reflective narrative voice in "Goodfellas," giving us an insider's view of life in the mafia? Then there's "The Shawshank Redemption," where Morgan Freeman's iconic voice adds a soulful depth to the story. And we can't forget "The Grand Budapest Hotel," with its quirky and colorful narrative style. These films show just how narration can elevate a story, providing context, emotion, and a unique rhythm.Main Feature - El Conde:For our main feature, we're delving into "El Conde." This film is a riveting journey, and we're here to dissect its twists and turns. The story, the characters, the setting – there's so much to unpack. The narrative style, the direction, the way it keeps us on the edge of our seats – it's a cinematic experience we need to talk about.Kids TV - Mouk:And for our kids' segment, we're taking a delightful detour with "Mouk." This animated series is a treasure trove of adventures and learning. It's a show that not only entertains but educates, as Mouk and his best friend Chavapa cycle around the world, meeting people and learning about different cultures. It's the perfect mix of fun and discovery for the little ones.So, whether you're a fan of poignant narrations, thrilling stories, or animated explorations, this episode has something for everyone.

Fielder and Emma Stone star as Asher and Whitney Siegel, a newlywed couple at the center of a reality HGTV show built on narcissism, gentrification, and lies. Then, the three jump into Alexander Payne's The Holdovers, which Dana describes as a “sadsack Christmas classic,” starring Paul Giamatti as a curmudgeonly misanthrope professor alongside newcomer Dominic Sessa and Da'Vine Joy Randolph. The three play misfits being held over at a prep school during the winter break of 1970.

According to a Michael J Fox Foundation survey from 2013, 65% of Americans believe that ushumans use just 10% of our brains. That's not really a surprise when you consider that the 10% figure has been quoted a lot over the years. Medical News Today says that it was referenced in 1936 by American writer Dale Carnegie in his book How to Win Friends and Influence People. Since then, it's been repeated over and over in newspaper articles, TV programs and films. One example is Luc Besson's 2014 sci-fi action film Lucy, in which the character Professor Norman, played by Morgan Freeman, states: “It is estimated most humans use only 10% of their brain capacity.” Where does the idea come from then? Are you saying we actually use all of our brains then?

Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review, where this week we're saddling up and riding into the gritty world of Clint Eastwood's 1992 revisionist Western, Unforgiven.Unforgiven is not your typical Western shoot-'em-up. It's a film that questions the myths of the Old West, presenting a tale steeped in moral complexity and the harsh truths of frontier justice. Eastwood directs and stars as William Munny, a notorious outlaw and killer who's left his violent past behind for a quiet life with his children on a farm. But when the promise of a bounty lures him back for one last job, we're taken on a journey that explores themes of redemption, the weight of legacy, and the inescapable nature of one's past.With an outstanding supporting cast, including Morgan Freeman as Ned Logan, Gene Hackman as the brutal Sheriff Little Bill, and Richard Harris as English Bob, the performances are as sharp as the dialogue. The film delves into the psyche of its characters, painting a picture of men who are far removed from the gallant heroes of old Western lore.Unforgiven earned critical acclaim upon its release, securing four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director for Eastwood. It's a film that dismantled the glamorized image of gunslingers and showed the audience the gritty reality of life in the American West.So Dads, let's talk about the impact of this film, its place in Eastwood's legendary career, and how it redefined the Western genre for modern audiences. And maybe we'll share a few stories about our own unforgiven dad moments along the way.Pull up a stool, pour yourself a whiskey, and let's get ready to revisit the town of Big Whiskey, Wyoming. It's going to be a bumpy, introspective ride on this episode of Bad Dads Film Review.

He introduces us to the importance of biomechanics in CGI, but more widely in determining the physical capabilities of different animals. You need to have a full understanding of the anatomy of the animal, yes, but also the context on the media through which it is moving. Life On Our Planet (LOOP) is a new 8-part series created for Netflix by Silverback Films and Amblin Television. This Steven Spielberg produced series, narrated by Morgan Freeman, is hugely ambitious in its scope, telling the story of life throughout the whole Phanerozoic Eon. Ancient organisms and environments are painstakingly recreated by the supremely talented Industrial Light and Magic, whilst modern natural history scenes add vital context to the story. This show has been worked on for six years, during which time countless papers were read and around 150 different palaeontologists contributed their time and knowledge. The whole production had culture of letting the scientific research dictate scenes, resulting in one of the most accurate on-screen representations of prehistoric life there has ever been. And how do we know all this? Well, our very own team members Tom Fletcher and Dave Marshall have been embedded within the LOOP team since day one! We are therefore in a totally unique position to reveal to you the work that went into this series, from both the production and research side of things. In this unofficial series, we've been granted exclusive access to many of the people responsible for creating LOOP, we explore what it takes to create a palaeontological documentary and we delve deeper into the science with some of the show's academic advisors. Each day, we will be releasing batches of interviews, each relating to a specific episode of LOOP. Image courtesy and copyright of Netflix.
