Watch the best scene reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj9bGNUIFdY A delightful blend of adventure and emotional depth, reminiscent of films like “Finding Nemo,” where the bond between characters drives the narrative through perilous waters. I thought of “The Shape of Water” as well, with its unique exploration of relationships between humans and extraordinary creatures, creating a sense of wonder and connection. Additionally, “A Monster Calls” came to mind, as it beautifully intertwines fantastical elements Get to know the writer: What is your screenplay about? The screenplay is about Gilly, a decades old, extremely intelligent Giant Pacific Octopus who lives in the Mermaid's Cave in Oahu where she has been gifted an information hub by her marine biologist friend. As time passes, Gilly enhances her ability to shape shift and learns how to communicate. In present day, she saves a government agent who is drowning in the ocean. Their relationship is at the center of the character driven story which unfolds like a chaotic, humorous, fast paced rollercoaster. It climaxes with Gilly and her new found friends saving the Arizona Memorial from attack from North Korea's marine biology program. What genres does your screenplay fall under? My story fits the following genres: Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Thriller, Comedy, with slight traces of Horror. It is suitable for all ages. It can be animated, use live actors, or be a combination of both. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? I have received extremely positive feedback from multiple industry evaluators. I will use the review by the International Screenwriters' Association to answer this question. “The project presents a distinctive blend of science fiction and emotional drama, anchored by the unlikely relationship between Slip, a disillusioned former agent, and an intelligent, shapeshifting octopus named Gilly. Their connection provides both the narrative's emotional center and its conceptual novelty, exploring trust, survival, and empathy in an unconventional yet interesting context. The tone operates in a deliberately hybrid register, merging high-concept science fiction with a light, often self-aware humor. In its best moments, this tonal elasticity creates a sense of discovery and curiosity, it allows for levity in scenes that might otherwise risk melodrama. The concept itself, an intelligent, shapeshifting octopus that engages with humanity, is imaginative and commercially distinctive, particularly in a cinematic landscape with familiar properties. What makes it notable is not simply its novelty but its potential for visual and tonal contrast, the serene oceanic imagery juxtaposed with covert operations, and the organic intelligence of a sea creature contrasted with human technology. Overall, this screenplay's originality and emotional core position it as a distinctive and engaging piece with strong cinematic potential.” Subscribe to the podcast: Tweets by wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Jake's deep dive into the world of crochet brought us one of our favorite new sound bites of the year. Will Jake successfully make an Octopus by the end of the week? Also, an update on Klein's stolen car takes away any sympathy you once had (plus he finally tried the 'egg trick' and yes, he's cursed). We also have two potential new challenges to explore: One-Arm Gary asked for a pool rematch against Ally which quickly morphed into a doubles ping pong battle between Ally, Klein, One-Arm Gary & One-Leg Larry. And yes, One-Leg Larry is Gary's long lost relative who we have yet to meet. The other challenge comes from Klein, who claims he can identify any hot dog brand in a blind taste test. Think he can do it? All we know is the next few weeks just got a lot more interesting...

Hong Kong was the final stop on our month-long journey through Asia, following our cruise from Hobart to Singapore. For Scott, it was a return after nearly 20 years.

What does a modern energy company actually look like?In this episode, Nick Chaset, CEO of Octopus Energy US, joins Nico Johnson to explore a question that sits at the center of Octopus's strategy:Is it a utility with great technology—or a technology company operating inside energy?Nick's career spans California energy policy, years running East Bay Community Energy, and now scaling Octopus in the U.S. He brings an operator's perspective on what it really takes to build and run energy businesses inside complex regulatory systems.The conversation also digs into Kraken—the software platform Octopus built internally and later spun out into a standalone, highly successful energy tech company. Nick explains why Kraken's separation clarified Octopus's identity, unlocked new utility partnerships, and changed how the company thinks about scale.AI enters the conversation not as hype, but as one of several forces reshaping demand, operations, and expectations across the grid.Expect to learn:

 IRAN'S QUEST FOR SUPREMACY AND FUTURE NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS Colleague Brandon Weichert. Weichert discusses Iran's ultimate goal of regional supremacy, describing the regime as the "octopus brain" directing proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah to attack Israel. He notes that his book anticipated the proxy attacks that occurred on October 7. Looking forward, Weichert analyzes potential US responses, contrasting the flaws of the original JCPOA—specifically its sunset clauses which would have allowed nuclear weapons by 2025—with a potentially tougher stance under a second Trump term. The segment concludes with the grim warning that the regime may choose destruction over abandoning its nuclear ambitions. SHADOW WAR BY BRANDON WEICHERT NUMBER 41960 NASSER IN DAMASCUS

THE OCTOPUS STRATEGY: IRAN'S PROXIES AND ISRAEL'S COUNTERATTACK Colleague Seth Frantzman. Frantzman employs the "octopus" metaphor to describe Iran as the central brain directing proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis to encircle Israel. He details Hamas's October 7 strategy: massacre civilians, seize hostages, and retreat to human shields and tunnels to await international pressure on Israel. The conversation outlines the IDF's counter-strategy, which involved cutting Gaza in half via the Netzarim corridor and systematically clearing areas from north to south. Frantzman notes the extensive tunnel network discovered in Khan Yunis, which served as a learning ground for IDF anti-tunnel operations. OCTOBER 7 WAR BY SETH FRANTZMAN NUMBER 31868 NAZARETH

Award winning writer, director, producer, and actor Elaine Del Valle joins Gracias, Come Again for a powerful and deeply honest conversation about survival, storytelling, and representation. Elaine opens up about growing up Puerto Rican in the 1980s in Brownsville, Brooklyn, raised in low income housing while surrounded by addiction, poverty, and instability. We talk about being sent to Puerto Rico as a form of punishment, an experience many Latino kids can relate to, and how those summers on the island shaped her identity and perspective. Elaine reflects on becoming a socially impactful storyteller who centers voices and communities that are rarely seen or heard on screen. Elaine began her acting career in the 1990s, appearing in projects like Donnie Brasco, The Sopranos, and lending her voice as Belle the Octopus on Dora the Explorer for 23 episodes. We also talk about her acclaimed film Princess Cut, now streaming on HBO Max, and the importance of telling authentic Latino stories without compromise. Make sure to stream Elaine Del Valle’s powerful new film Brownsville Bred, available now on Amazon Prime Video. This episode is a must hear for anyone interested in resilience, culture, filmmaking, and stories rooted in truth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Tech and Science Daily from The Standard, we look at plans for robotaxi trials in London in 2026, plus the surprising UK science story being dubbed the “year of the octopus” after a boom in sightings and catches off England's south coast. Then Alan Leer drops into an interview with Johannes Maunz, Senior Vice President of AI at Hexagon, on AI-enhanced digital twin mapping — and how virtual city models could help London plan everything from driverless transport to climate-resilient infrastructure and pedestrian-first streets.

In this episode of Inside the Rope, host David Clark sits down with Sam Reynolds, CEO of Octopus Investments Australia, to unpack one of the most critical and investable themes of our time: the global energy transition. As energy costs rise and the pathway to net zero becomes increasingly complex, Sam offers a grounded, data-driven perspective on how capital can be deployed responsibly without compromising on returns. We explore how institutional-grade renewable and energy-transition assets are delivering attractive double-digit returns, why the sector has historically been dominated by large institutions, and what's now changing for wholesale investors. The conversation spans global energy supply dynamics, political and regulatory uncertainty, and the real-world implications for investors seeking long-term, sustainable outcomes. Sam also shares how Octopus approaches asset selection, risk management, and portfolio construction in a space where sustainability and infrastructure intersect. For investors interested in future-proofing portfolios, aligning capital with decarbonisation, and understanding where genuine opportunity exists, this is a timely discussion with one of the leading minds in energy-transition investing.

Wolfie looks into the future of Forest star player Elliot Anderson and heavy links to Man City! Switch to Octopus and get an extra £50 credit on your energy bills - https://share.octopus.energy/quiet-pearl-365 The transfer merry-go-round is spinning at full speed, and we've got a massive update on the future of Forest's very own England international, Elliot Anderson. Reports are circulating that Manchester City have now moved into pole position to secure the midfielder's signature, leapfrogging other top-six rivals. While the lure of the Etihad is undeniable, the message from the City Ground is firm: Nottingham Forest are incredibly keen to keep hold of Anderson until at least the summer. Wolfie dives into the latest whispers, the potential record-breaking price tag, and whether Forest can realistically fend off the champions during the January madness. It's not just about potential outgoings, though, as we have exclusive news regarding a new arrival! Forest are actively working on bringing in a new left-back during the January transfer window to bolster the defensive line. With the need for more depth and competition on the left flank becoming clear, the recruitment team has reportedly identified a top target to hit the ground running in the new year. We discuss the names being linked, the profile of the player we're looking for, and how this signing could be the key to a much more stable second half of the season. We want to hear from YOU! Is Elliot Anderson simply "not for sale," or is there a price that makes sense for the club's long-term growth? Plus, who is on your January wishlist for that left-back spot? Drop your thoughts in the comments below and let's get the debate started! A huge thank you to our Patreon community for the continued support—you make these deep-dive updates possible.

Everyone has heard of the New World Order, the World Economic Forum, and the United Nations as vehicles for global domination, economic enslavement, and world government.
